Chapter 22: Vs. Zongazonga Part 1
*Dina's POV*
Zongazonga has taken over Jonathan's body?! This fight just got a whole lot harder.
"Ah, Dina." He said. "I see you've been reunited with your family and friends."
"Yeah, so we're gonna open up a can of whup-ass on you!" Selena shouted. Everyone, including Zongazonga, looked at her like she was an idiot. "What?" she said. "I couldn't resist!"
"Anyways, I have regained my full power, as well as the powers of this young boy whose body I'm controlling." Zongazonga stated. "You can't beat me!"
"Never underestimate demon magic!" I shouted.
"What do you think I control?!" he shouted.
"Oh, yeah…" I said, facepalming.
"Magic can't harm me." Kira said. "Diana is the same way, and Ken and Sam are immune to physical attacks. Plus, Argis, Dina and Jen are able to manipulate magic energy."
"But the rest of you are weaklings!" he shouted. He raised his arms to his sides.
"Fallen dragons from a bygone age, your master, the mighty sorcerer, compels you! Let your dark bones be clothed once more in the flesh of hate! Rise! RISE!" he chanted. (I'm pretty sure that's how his chant went…)
"Not again…" I said. He summoned an army of Z-Rexes and two Z-Pteras.
"What the hell?!" Rupert shouted. "I thought he could only summon three at once!"
"I'm more powerful now!" he shouted. "Now die! And I know all your names, so I know who to target!" he turned to his army. "Z-Rex! Attack Rupert with Undead Assault!"
"As if I'd let you!" I shouted. I flew into the Z-Rex's side and stabbed it with my golden chaotic katana. It roared and disappeared.
"I knew you would do that." Zongazonga said. "Z-Ptera! You know what to do."
The zombie bird flew at me with dark energy around it. I dodged its beak, but it clipped my chest with the end of its wing, tearing into it with its claws. The dark energy flowed into me and blew me away, launching me into one of the pillars around the castle. I was nearly knocked out, but I somehow managed to stand back up. The wounds were bleeding, and there was a crater-like burn in my chest.
"Dina!" Jen shouted. She ran towards me. The Z-Ptera turned around and flew at Jen. I didn't have time to warn her before the bird reached her. It actually self-destructed on impact with her, blowing her off the castle.
"No…" I said weakly. I jumped off the castle after her to save her. I grabbed her hand. I saw the water below me getting closer, but I passed out before I could create a portal.
*Rupert's POV*
"NO!" I shouted. Dina just jumped off the castle to save her sister, but we waited for over a minute for them to return and they didn't.
"This can't be happening…" I said sadly. I turned to Zongazonga. "I'LL KILL YOU!"
"No you won't." he said. "All of you, do what you want with them." he said to the zombies.
"Demonic Blast!" Argis shouted. She pointed her sword at Zongazonga directly. A dark beam fired at him and exploded on impact. He turned back to us, barely harmed. He returned the favor with a necromancy attack, but Argis shielded herself from it. She summoned Thanatos to kill the zombies, which worked on most of them. There were three left at this point; two Z-Rexes and the other Z-Ptera.
"Kira!" she shouted. Kira jumped at them and punched one of them, instantly killing it with her Magic Buster. She then kicked the other one, blowing it away and destroying it. The Z-Ptera attacked her, but she jumped up and punched it into the ground, taking it down. Zongazonga seemed slightly impressed.
"Nice." He said. "But you won't beat me." He raised his arms over his head and formed an all-too-familiar attack.
"Soul Shatter!" he shouted as he threw the attack.
"Look out!" Kira shouted. She jumped in front of us and punched the bomb-like attack, but her power didn't destroy it.
Instead, the attack detonated, blowing Diana, Ken, Sam, Kira and Argis away and hurting them, and sending the rest of us to our medals. Diana, Sam and Ken flew off the castle.
*Kira's POV*
I stood up weakly after being flung to the edge of the castle's staircase. The others are in their medals, Argis is flying behind me, Dina and Jen are probably at the bottom of the ocean by now, and Zongazonga is still in fighting shape. I am aware that he knows how to use Jonathan's powers, as well, but he's only used his own powers, which aren't as strong as the legions.
"Damn." I said. "Without Dina and Jen, we don't have a chance."
"Demon blade!" Zongazonga shouted as he summoned Jonathan's chaotic sword. The flames were still blue, surprisingly. "Legions!" he summoned all seven legions at once and commanded them to attack us. All of them flew towards us to attack us. Diana, Ken and Sam were knocked off of the castle, as well.
All but one.
"Thanatos, what are you doing?" Zongazonga shouted.
"You're not my master." He said. "You're a fake!"
"Thanatos, return!" Zongazonga shouted. Thanatos refused. Instead, he flew towards us and attacked the other legions, breaking all of their crests. Zongazonga grabbed his arm as pain shot through it from the crests breaking.
"What?!" Zongazonga exclaimed. "How did you-?"
"The ultimate legion has a mind of its own. It decides whether or not it can be controlled by someone." Argis explained. "Did you think they were all mindless beasts?"
"Actually, yes." Zongazonga said. "But it doesn't matter. I'll still destroy you!"
He released a wave of demonic fire from the sword as he slashed through the air. It hit Thanatos, but Thanatos folded its wings around itself as a shield, blocking the attack.
"Is that all you've got?!" Thanatos shouted. "Pathetic!"
"He can talk?!" I shouted in surprise.
"It seems so." Argis said.
"What the hell?!" Zongazonga shouted. "How are you doing this?!"
"Because I'm not just a normal copy of Thanatos." The legion said. "Did you really think you could just take over my body that easily?!"
"Wha-?!" I exclaimed. "You're Jonathan?!"
"Yes, Kira." He said. "I'm Jonathan."
"That explains a lot…" Zongazonga muttered. "Well, I guess Jonathan's powers are useless now, so I'll have to unleash my true power!"
He summoned another Z-Rex and commanded it to attack me. I punched it in the stomach, but my Magic Buster didn't affect it.
"No way!" I shouted in a mix of surprise and fear. The Z-Rex stumbled back a short distance and stared at me with an evil glare. I knew what it was about to do, but I was too weak to run away.
I saw the monster's teeth rushing towards me and everything went black.
That's chapter 22! Keep reading and reviewing!
