Chapter 29: The Final Battle
LAST TIME
Suddenly stopping was heard and the roar of dragons and trolls. "Get into battle Positions everyone," Storm called.
NOW
Storm ran toward a window that was open and jumped out. Wings came out of his back that were a royal blue he was fallowed by Flame her wings scarlet red. Apollo with silver wings tinted with gold, Layla pure black wings. Air then jumped out her wings a pure white. Mist fallowed with sky blue wings. Sirius with black wings just like Layla, Athena quickly sounded the horn and jumped out her grey wings catching the wind. She quickly ascended the castle and landed on the roof with her friends. All of them were feeling calm.
They knew they were about to go out to battle and may not live. But then there entire lives they had been raised to fight for what was right and that is what they are doing now. Fighting for what they believe in and with that came the calmness to keep a cool head in the heat of battle.
"Ready," Storm said as they got their bow and arrow out. "Set," the crocked the arrow and aimed it. "Fire," Storm said he let his arrow out his arrow shining with light as other joined. The arrows transformed themselves into pure white animals. The animals launched themselves at the dementaurs and all the other dark creatures.
"Let's party," Athena said she jumped off the roof and free fall all the way to the ground spreading her wings at the last second. She quickly launched an arrow at the sky. "Spirits that protect us let down your shields so your children can stand up and fight their enemies," Athena said in the Ancient Language. The arrow hit the shield causing it to go from clear to red and then to purple before lowering itself down to the ground.
She saw out of the corner of her eyes Storm catching up to her. "Let's see who can strike down the most, Gimili."
"Fine by me Legolas. One down," Athena said as she shot at a werewolf. Arrows started to shoot down from the top of the castle as Athena and Storm threw themselves into battle.
Remus heard the horn blow and felt himself being propelled into the fight. The dementors had vanished and all that was left were the magic creatures and the Death Eaters. Remus quickly thought about his life. His wife Dora Tonks and his son Teddy. He thought about the night You-Know-Who vanished and Vanessa was proclaimed Girl-Who-Lived. He remembered what Lily was like after Harry had left and became Storm. He remembered the divorce between Lily and James and how Lily and Sirius both vanished. Everyone even him and James thought that Sirius went with Lily to look for Harry. He recalled all the times even when he was Marauder. He remembered everything that happened to him up to now.
Remus howled when he saw Greyback tearing into a leprechaun. Remus growled and barreled into Greyback. Greyback and smiled and very scary smile.
"Ah it's you again. Now to correct my mistake by letting you live," Greyback sneered. He launched himself on top of Remus and the two of them started to fight flinging their paws and biting each other. Soon both of them were bleeding in to many places but they kept on fighting. Remus remembered the look on his son's face when he first saw him. Teddy had smiled. With that thought Remus launched himself with all of his might at the man who made him a werewolf. It happened so fast that Remus didn't remember what he did all he knew was that Greyback was dead. Remus howled in triumph but then his world started to get dark and his eyes shut never to open again.
Draco waited for the horn to blow so he could also go into battle. Five short blasts sounded. Draco leapt to his feet and went straight into the battle with Neville on his heels.
Neville spotted Bellatrix the woman who had tourted his parents into insanity. "Hey Lestrange pick on someone your own size," Neville shouted.
Bellatrix looked up and smiled and gruesome smile. A smile that only a madman would wear. "Why isn't it the little Long Bottom boy," she said in a sickly sweet voice. "I hope you are just as fun as our parents."
Something stirred in Neville when she said that in her sickly sweet voice. "I'm going to kill you for what you did to my family!" Neville shouted anger and vengence flowed threw his body.
"Little boy thinks he so big. I like to see you try little boy try," Bellatrix taunted. "Crucio."
Neville dogged the spell at the last second. "Stupefy," Neville shouted.
Bellatrix elegantly dogged it. "Little boy is weak," she taunted again. "Little boy should go back and play with his toys."
Neville's eyes burned with hatred at the miserable excuse for a human in front of him. He flicked his wand and Bellatrix was thrown back in to a tree. She never moved again.
Draco was looking for his father. One thing that Athena first taught him when they first met was that fathers shouldn't be pushing their children to do something they didn't want to do. Draco had been pushed to do thousands of things he never wanted to do. Now he was going to settle the debt. Draco didn't have to look too hard. His father came to him. "I see you have joined the fighting," Malfoy said in a cool voice.
"Yes I have but not for the same reasons as you, Father," Draco said in the same cool voice trying to keep his temper down.
"Oh then what are you reasons?" he asked.
"To get rid of Voldemort."
Malfoy flinched and then said in an angry and cruel voice, "Never say the Dark Lord's name. If you are going to kill the Dark Lord then I am just going to have to kill you first."
"Avada Kedavra!" Draco shouted a green light went from his wand and it hit his father in the chest. Draco looked at his father and then down at his wand.
"Move Dragon!" Athena threw herself on top of him. A green light flashed past Athena's head as the two went down. Athena quickly strung an arrow and shot it and the Death Eater who had fired the curse. "I take it you killed him."
"Yeah," Draco said as he shot off a hex.
"Don't worry my parents will treat you the same. Possibly even better," Athena replied.
"But I killed my father!"
"He was going to kill you. Besides, you did tell me earlier this year before we started dating. You told me you wished you could get away from him. That he was dead so he would never harm you or your mother again. So didn't you fulfill that wish," Athena shot off another arrow and summoned back four other arrows.
"Yeah but I'm a murder now. You wouldn't want me now," Draco said as he fired out another hex.
"I love you and nothing is ever going to change that. I would kiss you but this is not the best place or time."
"After the battle?" Draco asked
"After the battle. Snake ten o'clock." Athena bounded away leaving Draco with a small smile on his face.
Athena took out her dagger and stood poised over the head of the snake Nagini that was withering in pain from the battle the two had done. Athena was bleeding from a cut that Nagini gave her but she ignored it. She thrust her dagger into the blindness snake's head and a horrible screeched sounded. A second later the snake and horcruxes was gone. "Now to tell Storm he's free," Athena said. She dashed out of the forest and made her way to the gates where everyone was fighting. She unfolded her wings and quickly flew above the battle. No one noticed her until she found Storm and free fell spreading her wings at the last second and then quickly folding them again.
"Storm you're clear," Athena said as she jumped into the battle that Storm was fighting with ten Death Eaters. "I killed Nagini. I hold them off go!" Storm quickly brought out his bow and arrow and shot at the Death Eater in front of him. He then quickly ran threw the gap before the rest of the Death Eaters could close it. Athena watched her friend out of the corner of her eye knowing the battle between him and Voldemort was going to be vicious.
Storm found Voldemort in the back a good distance from the fighting up in a tree. Storm made some lightning and shot it at Voldemort. The bolts never touched him but came very close. Voldemort looked up to see Storm and narrowed his scarlet eyes in hate. "I challenge you to a battle! One on one! No interference! What do you say or are you to chicken to fight because of the prophecy!" Storm shouted at Voldemort.
Voldemort narrowed his crimson eyes at Storm and said in scary calm voice, "I agree."
Storm flicked his hand and storm started to brew. "Then let's get this over with. Use everything in your arsenal to defeat me as I will do with you." Thunder clamped in the skies and Storm snapped his fingers and lighting crashed into the ground narrowly missing Voldemort. Voldemort smirked evilly and flicked his wand. A flame dragon sprouted from the wand roaring in the new rain that started to fall. "My fiancée can do better." Storm withdrew his sword and twisted it up to the sky where a lightning bolt met it. He then rammed it into the fire dragon, which blew to bits as the lighting, and the water collided with the fire. "My element is weather. I can't be defeated easily, Tom Marvolo Riddle." Storm did a battle cry and charged at Voldemort, "Prepare to die!"
Storm moved so fast that he was just a blur and the next moment Storm's sword was in the middle of Voldemort's stomach. "Give me one good reason why I shouldn't hari-kari you?"
Voldemort opened his mouth, his face had a peaceful look on it as he said, "I'm coming, Saphira. I tried to avenge it. Kill me." Storm blinked but with one smooth movement, Storm moved his sword upward up to Voldemort's heart was and killed him.
