Saving Alchemy

Author says:

A battle against Dullahan, and he is stronger than before. I am so tired, after doing so much, the number of reviews only discourages me from going on. If it doesn't increase from what is currently 2, there won't be any reason for me to want to do another story.

Chapter VII: The Final Battle

Piers and Mia stepped forward, drew their weapons and got into a battle stance. They were ready to fight Dullahan, as were the others.

"We beat him once, we will do it again!"

Isaac and Felix took the front line, both casting Odyssey, four small swords of earthen energy cut into the armor forming a large X, two large swords went straight through the abdomen, and Isaac and Felix sliced horizontally and vertically, but only leaving gigantic scratches that healed immediately.

"What the hell?! No damage at all?" A stunned Garet exclaimed.

"As long as the core of my armor remains intact, I will never be destroyed, and as long as my armor remains intact, the core can never be reached, the ultimate defense, just you try and defeat me!"

"Enough talk!" Garet shouted, following which he unleashed Forge, rushed forward and leapt into the air.

His Excalibur howled as he flew above the headless living armor, a purple portal appeared from which three purple blades of wind energy came in and entered the armor through the collar. The three blades struck an orb inside Dullahan.

"AAAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHH" came the cry from Dullahan.

"The ultimate defense, if you had a head." Garet mumbled.

"You insolent fool! Do you think that will harm me at all?" Dullahan bellowed.

"Made you scream like a sissy, what do you think?" Garet answered, and he immediately followed up with the same attack.

"Enough! Time to finish this" Dullahan created a large energy blade, Formina Sage, and swung at the adepts, only Isaac, Felix, Jenna, Ivan and Sheba avoided the contact, Garet and Piers were very strong defensively, and that was what prevented them from going down, Mia was not so lucky however, she instantly went down to the attack.

Jenna unleashed Timber in an attempt to revive her, and Mia was up again. Isaac and Felix unleashed Flint and Echo respectively, with an attack pattern that saw Felix attack first, Echo struck Dullahan downwards then upwards, launching the large monster 2 meters into the air. While he was still in mid-air, Isaac unleashed Flint, and dealt a devastating blow, sending him back down to the ground, a cut about one foot long was left in the armor, from the collar down, but that cut was instantly healed as well.

Ivan and Sheba came in with Gust and Blitz, dealing relatively little damage to Dullahan, his defense was really as good as he claimed it to be.

Isaac leapt up once more and unleashed Geode, sending it into the inside of Dullahan, just like how Garet attacked Dullahan's insides. The large earthen orb bounced inside the armor like a pinball, getting larger and larger, until it exploded, blowing the armor to pieces, but the orb remained intact, so dullahan was pieced together again.

Mia cast Pure Wish in an effort to heal everyone, Piers unleashed Shade to create a protective aura, Garet unleashed Flash to create another protective aura. At this point, the Lemurians came into the room. Garet saw them and asked,

"How did you get here?"

The chief replied that there was a group of stones with a spider pattern, and there was a piece of jade on it, when he picked it up, the spider moved and brought them there.

"Okay, we will need all the help we can get, heal anyone who needs it, Mia won't be able to do it alone."

Dullahan caught hold of Isaac and Felix and used True Collide to sap their health, but they came right back up after the Lemurians cast Pure Wish to restore everyone's health levels. Isaac and Felix unleashed Ground and Mold respectively, with that, Dullahan could not move, and became a puppet to Mold's powers and he started attacking himself, using Formina Sage on himself once in the process. Isaac got Ivan and Sheba to unleash Zephyr, Squall and Gale, doubling everyone's agilities, attempting to paralyze Dullahan and creating a great wind to slam Dullahan on a wall respectively.

Isaac then shouted, "Now!" He proceeded to summon Judgment directly above Dullahan, Ivan summoned Catastrophe directly above Dullahan as well, a blast of earthen energy powered by four Venus Djinni from Judgment went into Dullahan through his collar and as the blast set to spread out, blew Dullahan into pieces, exposing the orb inside him once more, the pyramid shot out from Catastrophe, containing a dragon shaped energy beam powered by three Mars Djinni and five Jupiter Djinni, landed on Dullahan's orb and the dragon came out at full speed striking the orb upwards, threatening to crack it. Felix followed up the attack when his Sol Blade howled, Felix leapt high up and unleashed Megiddo, a boulder the size of a meteor came down on the orb and knocked it downwards. Ivan then leapt up to propel himself high into the sky, which was exposed by the blasts from Judgment and Catastrophe, Isaac called forth Vengeance, and six arrows of earthen energy were shot into the orb, by this point, the orb was cracking. Ivan could see that, and came in for what he believed would be the final blow. His Vacuum Edge howled, and Aerodrill went charging straight to the orb. Like before, the drill went through the orb, completely destroying it. Isaac and Felix simultaneously unleashed Ground and Petra in an effort to stop Ivan's movements, Sheba helped by trapping him in Tempest. When Ivan landed, he needed to sit for a while to meditate to regulate his heartbeat. Isaac saw that the orb was gone, and pieces of Dullahan's armor were once again inanimate. Dullahan was gone, hopefully for good.

Suddenly, the sanctum started to rumble. The entire place was crumbling.

"Quick! We need to get out of here! The place is collapsing!" All the adepts ran out of the room to the hovering spider, they ran all the way out of the Anemos Sanctum, on their way, they saw that the people that were created from the energy drained out of those on Weyard were also disintegrating, they ran all the way to the beams emitted from the lighthouses and ran into the respective beams. Anemos Island completely crumbled away a little after they left, the beams started to retract after the island's destruction.

"Ow!" Isaac said as he landed on the beacon of the Venus Lighthouse, he picked himself up and scrambled to see the surrounding area, all of it was restored to the way it was before the entire incident, Lalivero was back, and their residents as well. Felix saw the pleasant sight as well.

At the Mercury Lighthouse, Mia, Piers and the Lemurians saw that the water had returned, the place was not dried up, and life was back at Imil, Mia started to cry, and as tears flowed from her eyes, she said,

"Finally, the ordeal is over, Weyard has been restored…" and she placed her head on Piers' shoulders, he too was happy, but he showed it with a smile rather than tears.

At the Mars Lighthouse, Jenna and Garet felt that the place was no longer as cold as when they were at the lighthouse the last time, they also saw life at Prox, those who were frozen have been thawed out. Garet quickly rushed down the lighthouse via the elevator to take a closer look at Prox to believe his eyes.

At the Jupiter Lighthouse, Ivan and Sheba landed safely, the first thing Ivan saw was his sister, Hamma, she had gone back to the lighthouse not long after she reached Anemos Island, she wanted to see the effects on Weyard once the enemy was destroyed.

"I knew you would beat the enemy, whoever he was, when I saw what you did to the one who was here, I just knew you could do it, I did not believe myself at first, so I went into that purple light behind you, but I came back right after I reached the place. The air here has been restored, and the people at Contigo are alive once more, and this entire episode is over."

"Thank you, Sis" Ivan went forward and embraced his sister. Sheba came forward as well and said with a smile,

"Hello! My sister-in-law to be!" and she laughed.

"Sister-in-law to be?" Hamma asked, Ivan was not able to say anything, but as he looked at Sheba, he turned to Hamma and nodded his head.

"Ok, let's go loverboy! Kraden should be coming to pick you up soon! This time I'll go with you to Vale."

Kraden, Kyle and Dora were on the ship to pick up everyone at the Mercury Lighthouse first, the other villagers had gone back to Vale. They went to Prox and Contigo later on. Lord Hammet and his men were at Lalivero to escort Isaac and Felix back.

"My boys, you two have done us all the greatest favor, we do not know how to thank you, but you have our deepest gratitude. Hope you don't mind us going back to Vale with you, I believe Ivan would be there too, I would really love to see him again, it's been so long since I last saw him, maybe he is as tanned as you two now?"

Isaac, Felix, Hammet and his men all laughed and they started a long conversation on the way back to Vale.

Back at Vale, the shipload of people had just disembarked, as they walked in, they were greeted by all the villagers. The only surprised ones were the Lemurians and the adepts, the Lemurians because they did not expect people in the outside world to behave like this, the adepts because they did not think they would be back so soon.

When Isaac, Felix, Hammet and his men got to Vale some time later, they were greeted with the same reception, Hammet and his men were not surprised as they already knew about this.

"Wow, looks like we were really missed, weren't we, Felix?" Isaac asked.

Felix laughed as he walked past Isaac. Isaac could only smile as he thought of the events throughout this entire episode, to think that it all occurred in just one day, from Mia's screaming to Weyard's restoration, all in one day.

"Isaac, I'd like to talk for a second, I'm sure you know about Jenna's feelings for you right? I saw it back at Anemos, initially I felt the same way about her as she did about you, but I guess she wants to be with you, so I'd just say, good luck."

"Garet, you sure are daring to say this in the open, you not afraid that Jenna might hear you? Although, I have to admit, I like her too."

From behind a bush, came a soft "Hee".

"Jenna? That you? Come out." Isaac said.

It indeed was Jenna, and she was blushing.

"Well, Isaac, I shan't be here now, you guys have quite a bit to talk about, I'll go find Kyle, heard he had something to talk about."

As Garet walked off, Isaac looked at Jenna, and Jenna looked at Isaac, followed by a long embrace, and an equally long kiss.

"Seems like Garet is truly tough indeed, I've never seen anyone just blatantly talk about stuff like that in the open, but still it's that kind of toughness that helped us get together. So, watcha wanna do now?"

Mia was back at the waterfall with Piers, admiring the view of the mountains.

"The view is lovely, isn't it, Piers?"

"Not as lovely as you."

"Mushy and disgusting, but I like it." Mia and Piers held hands and looked at the sunset, Mia put her head on Piers' shoulder again.

In the forest, Felix was being left frustrated again as Ivan and Sheba fought to a draw, the only loser being the forest which lost another 100 trees, thanks to Ivan. Hamma was a spectator, the Lemurians and Hammet were watching too. They loved a good even match and were thoroughly impressed by their skills.

"Okay, enough, you will only destroy the forest like this. Hamma, please help your brother try not to destroy the forest.

Hamma could not help but laugh as Felix slumped to a sitting position.

Back at Vale, Isaac and Jenna were having lunch at Isaac's house. Kyle came in and gave Isaac a hearty slap on the back.

"So son, heard about you and Jenna, be nice to her!"

"Dad!"

"Alright, alright, just came to tell you, come to the village square tonight."

At Garet's house,

"Garet! Be sure to go to the village square tonight! And don't just sleep all day!"

"Alright Kay, I got it!"

The message was passed round the adepts, Mia, Piers, Felix, Ivan and Sheba would receive the message later on.

Night fell and everyone but the adepts was at the village square, obviously for a celebration for them again. As the heroes came in, they were greeted with a resounding cheer.

"It was only two days ago when we did this, but that is no reason to stop us from doing this again. Our heroes, the heroes of Weyard, saving Weyard once more. To our heroes!"

"TO OUR HEROES!"

This here is finally the end of the story. Hope it has been enjoyed.
