Tragedy of a Hero
Chapter 10
THE BATTLE
The clock moves forward,
Never back,
So all we do will stay on track.
Gods have risen,
and families fell,
But will the Hero,
face the Final Bell?
For we all can face,
When the Hour strikes None,
But can the Father face,
the wrath of his only Son?

"Behold..." Leona grinned as Raguna walked up the steps, side by side with Mist, "The man who calls himself a Hero, but is truly a coward."
"Hehehe." Fiersome chuckled,
"Come to throw in the towel?" Terrable chortled, "That's what you enjoy doing."
"Leona..." Raguna told his son, "Why are you doing this? You were going to be hero anyways."
"But I want to be Hero now." Leona chuckled, "Because you can't handle it... You are a coward and a fraud."
"Leona." Mist came up,
"Ah! Mother!" Leona gasped in shock, "How did you- How!?"
"I used the power in the Blade of Light to save her." Raguna informed him, and then showed him the dulled blade,
"How pathetic." Leona scoffed, "The Blade of the Gods should be used to fight evil!"
"She is your mother!" Raguna yelled, "Do you not care for her!? What is wrong with you!?"
"Nothing is wrong with me!" Leona laughed, as did The Benefactor, "I am fine and dandy! Now I will be happier if you gave me the other half of the Blade!"
"Raguna." Mist whispered to her husband, "Just do it..."
"Huh..." Raguna sighed, "Alright... But I want you to know something, Leona." he turned to the youth, "What you tried to do to your mother, and what you did to your sister... I would never have done to your family." he murmured, then made the jewel on the blade shine.
"Ah!" Luna fell from a white portal, holding her baby.
"Luna!" Leona said in surprise, "What happened!?"
"That fraud imprisoned me!" Luna ran over to him, "He also tried to kill our baby!"
"What!?" Leona exploded,
"You savage!" Ventuswill roared, "You barbarian!"
"I can't believe we chose the likes of you to be the Hero!" Terrable steamed,
"I will have your head for that!" Leona stormed over to the Earthmate, sword in hand, "Now give me the right half of the Blade of the Gods and I may consider pardoning you of this crime!"
"You killed your own sister!" Raguna yelled, "And tried to kill your own mother! The woman who went through the pain of bringing you into this world!"
"Shut up!" Leona yelled and charged,
"Woah!" Raguna raised his blade and countered his son's attack, "ACK!" he groaned when his arms felt the pain of the blow,
"Kill him, Leona!" Luna cheered from the sidelines, "Give me his head on a platter, and I will love you forever!"
"That's what I'm trying to do, love!" Leona laughed as he did and underhand sweep,
KLING! Raguna blocked it.
"Watch out!" Mist gasped and Leona charged up an attack,
"Ventusgale!" Leona yelled and sent a large wind razor from his half of the blade,
"GAH!" Raguna gasped and barely avoided the attack,
"HRAH!" Leona appeared and struck him in the back,
"ARGH!" Raguna yelled in pain even though it hit his armor, "Why you!" he turned and struck his son."
"YRAH!" Leona growled as he was cut in the shin, "HAH!" he let out a devastating assault of chops and strikes.
"ARGH!" Raguna started to slowly capitulate under the strain of the blows,
"Raguna!" Mist screamed when a chop got a little too close for comfort,
"Go Leona!" Aquaticus laughed as he saw the son dominating.
"TASTE THE POWER OF THE BLADE OF THE GODS!" Leona yelled and charged towards the Earthmate, "AQUATISURGE!" he unleashed a killer blast of water akin to a hydro pump.
"CRAP!" Raguna was taken away by the surge, and crashed into one of the pillars, "AUGH!" he fell to the ground.
"Raguna!" Mist screamed in horror,
"I'm fine..." Raguna groaned as he stood up, "Damn.. It's like fighting myself... except he has the powers of the Dragons..."
"Give up, father?" Leona laughed as he used the power of the Blade to hover in the air, "Or do you need more convincing!? Astrosphere!" he shot out a very bright orb of light magic,
"Hah!" Raguna swung his blade at it, making the ball shoot back,
"What!?" Leona yelled, then swung his blade to make it ricochet back to Raguna,
"Ha ha!" Raguna returned it, "Now this is more like it!"
"HA!"
"HA!" the two sent the sphere back and forth amongst each other,
"DWAH!" Leona faltered and missed his swing, yelling when the ball struck him, "Why you!" he sent another one, but much faster,
"Hrah!" Raguna swung his blade, making it return,
"Ha!"
"Hyah!" Raguna did a trick swing, making the sphere curve,
"Wah!" Leona faltered once more, "RAHHH!" he was struck and sent to the ground,
"Hyah!" Raguna used this opportunity to strike,
"Hah!" Leona regained mobility and backflipped away from the attack, "You think it's that easy!?"
"Getting hit with your own attack is quite foolish, don't you think?" Raguna chuckled and grinned,
"Shut up!" Leona went ballistic and once more went berserk with his blade,
"Hey!" Raguna yelled when one was a little too close to home,
"Take this!" Leona swung masterfully and nearly cut the Earthmate's head off,
"Too slow!" Raguna taunted,
"Shut your mouth!" Leona yelled and swung fiercely,
"ARGH!" Raguna yelled when the vibration of his blade hurt his hands,
"RAH!" Leona kicked his father in the chest,
"OOF!" Raguna fell to the ground,
"Fierscorch!" Leona blasted a wave of fire at him,
"Hot!" Raguna rolled out of the way,
"As long as he has that magic, you're toast!" Mist told him, "Raguna, be careful!"
"That's what I'm trying to do!" Raguna groaned, then noticed the chips in his blade, "Huh.. I guess only the Blade of Light can break the Blade of Light... Interesting..."
"Talking to yourself again?" Leona chuckled, "Hehehehe..."
"I won't be able to break his though..." Raguna continued, "His is blessed by the Dragons... The good part is neither of us can use foresight... But still.. what to do.. what to do..."
"Stop it!" Leona interrupted him and attacked,
"Hey!" Raguna blocked all his blows, "Give me some room here!"
"Not a chance!" Leona laughed and continued his assault.
