The tower of flames, this has been my first ever fanfiction and here's the ending; it's been short and sweet guys. I'm hoping to get a Naruto Fanfic up and running for you fans of Konaha's number one unpredictable ninja... Well here it is the final chapter of the tower of flames!
Chapter 18: The Tower Of Flames
Neo's eyes flickered open and she said only two words before chaos arrived.
"I'm sorry" Then in the distance the city then exploded into a tower of flames.
(Flashback)
Olivia stood in front of bens soon to be filled grave with a stern look on her face.
"Benjamin, I'm sorry for taking Charlie away from you for so long, I blame myself for this..." a tear fell from her cheek. "But from now on I'm going to get stronger, my endowment has become so much more advanced I can no-"
Olivia was interrupted as a bolt of green light struck her upside the head and she crashed into the ground unconscious.
"Create solid illusions right... the master has plans for you"
Neo Wyborn then used her newfound teleportation prowess to take Olivia to Him... her master.
(End flashback)
Everything was hazy...
Her body didn't feel like she owned it for some reason...
Then everything went white.
...
...
It could have been two minutes or two years Olivia didn't know, all she knew is that she was exhausted; somebody was using her powers... massively.
She awoke...
Olivia found herself hundreds of feet above the city centre of her home, with no control over her body... and surrounded by a heaven-high tower of the grandest flames you have ever laid eyes on, they were magnificent... they were destroying her home!
"STOP THIS!" Olivia screamed out at nobody in particular... there was no response.
She tried to move but it was useless to even try, the now visible Manfred Bloor who floated a few meters away dressed in crimson robes had her pinned by some weird magic... no doubt created by that bastard Ezekiel.
"Do not fret Miss Vertigo; you are serving a higher purpose! Your powers are magnificent, solid illusions limitless possibilities, with the right control you are essentially a god!" Manfred let himself chuckle madly "but you are not god miss vertigo... because gods can't be tamed"
Upon finishing his sentence Manfred used Olivia's own illusion abilities to create just that only not solid this time... this was for his pure enjoyment.
Manfred could have done anything to Olivia right now and it would be perceived as 100% real, even with her knowledge that it was fake... he could have her raped, tortured, have her friends assaulted the same way in front of her... but no... He chose to simply show her what the world would become under his almighty power.
Olivia saw a barren wasteland, an empty shell of what the world once was, flames covering everything, and one man stood in the middle of it all... Manfred, holding her beloved Charlie by his severed head... laughing like the maniac he is.
"Manfred! Stop this madness!" the Hood made himself known. "You can't play god like this. You're insane!"
The Hood... or Henry as his friends know him wasn't evil, he just hated Charlie, Fuck working for this maniac for the rest of whatever time he had left, he sprung into action.
Manfred upon hearing Henry's words blasted a wave of blue fire toward him, the however was dispersed by a wave of wind, the air Henry released fanned the fire turning it white and sending it toward not Manfred, but Olivia.
"Nice try hood" Manfred with a flick of his wrist used a combination of his own abilities and Olivia's to once again change the direction of the fire and also to manipulate its shape... into a huge white dragon.
The hood was good with the elements but making them into such a complicated shape so easily and with a fire with so much power... not gonna happen, he broke into a fast dash into the air, powered by his wind element he could move at extreme speeds, much faster than Manfred's dragon. Or at least he thought he was moving that fast.
"Forgetting about my original endowment aren't we hood?"
BOOM!
Henry was hit with the force of a hundred bulldozers, top that off with flames even his water armour count hold back he was in deep shit, Manfred had hypnotised him into thinking he was running away.
Manfred Chuckled as Henry smashed into a building, only to emerge seconds later on the offensive, his wounds were minor thanks to his water armour but man did that dragon pack a punch.
"You hypnotism won't work twice Manfred!" Henry bolted through the air while he withdrew sand from under the ground many meters below... he had a plan.
Meanwhile the tower of Flames Expanded Evermore... now miles wide completely engulfing the town four times over... yet not hurting any living thing.
"Your correct but I still have a god on my side you foolish boy from the past!" Manfred put more effort into his attack this time, instead of a mindless flick of the wrist he contorted his whole body until he was crouched... then he released all of his charged up energy with a shockwave of black fire.
"Shit!" The Hoods plan to use water to pacify Manfred was out of the window... there was no water in the air... for miles!
The hood was royally screwed. He crashed into the ground singed all over but not as bad as he expected, though this was still enough to keep him out of the game for a while.
"That's one fool sorted ... now for the second one, it looks like Wyborn failed, what a nice set of emotions I'm feeling from you Charlie... and I love the change of clothes." Manfred said the last part in a very false and un-Manfred-like tone of voice.
Charlie bone, the greatest Magician alive this day stood calmly... too calmly, his scruffy brown hair was tied into a ponytail, a red headband around his forehead. His usual pair of jeans and a t-shirt look was completely different; his sleeved black cloak with white flames wafted about in the wind showing off a chain vest underneath... and his wand, no wands were connected to his wrists... over a foot and a half in length, One Purest white... and one black as night.
"You know Manfred, even though I didn't like to show it since you're a dick... I always looked up to you in my Bloors academy days... your endowment was amazing to my inexperienced eyes, the power to bend the minds of others was swamped by my pretty much useless power to look into photographs and paintings... "Charlie inspected the black wand in his right hand. "How wrong I was, my ability of time travel has allowed me to claim this wand: "Cŵntân" the black flame... he called out to Claerwen, they are a pair, the two most powerful objects in existence. And know they are one again"
Manfred's smirk disappeared when he suddenly found himself launched out of even the huge tower of flames; Charlie had teleported out and used his two wands to drag him out!
"Damn... that was taxing on my reserves" Charlie stopped his panting and looked at the shaken up Manfred as he recovered his composure.
Not waiting for another chance for Charlie to attack Manfred went on the offensive with everything he had. Thanks to his distance from Olivia he had no access to the boosting effects of her power... but this wasn't going to stop him.
"Tie for you to see what all my preparation has been for Boy!" Manfred made and "O" with his hands and concentrated his hottest flames into an attack, a cylinder of black fire erupted toward Charlie who's only possible move was to cross his wands into a shield, this didn't work very well but luckily there were only minor scratches received.
"Well Yo-" Charlie didn't get a chance to give one of his signature comebacks before he was being attacked on all sides by blue, white, and green balls of fire, he batted each away with his wands.
Still without uttering a word Manfred watched the skirmish between boy and element while he prepared his next attack, Bone could use his magic to dispel almost all his fire, but since he generated the flames and didn't use pre-existing ones Charlie would be unable to alter their makeup.
"Ha! Get ready for what's coming boy!" Manfred used another Set of weird hand movements to prepare his next attack, first the "O" then another set of strange movements before gripping his right wrist and generating a small ball of flame... perfectly cylindrical.
Manfred rocketed forth with flames shooting from his feet towards Charlie meanwhile holding his arm at the magician.
"Shit, that's a lot of condensed energy" Charlie leaped back after dispelling the last fireball and got ready, Charlie gathered as much water from the air as he could into a spear the length of his entire body, while Manfred was approaching he condensed, and condensed unto the water was at strong as titanium, he then used all of his physical strength to lunged it toward the crazed maniac.
"What's a puny spear going to do!?" Almost on cue the spear pieced straight through Manfred's attack and straight through his shoulder too...damn!
Manfred registered the pain instantly and thanked whatever god existed that the spear was very narrow or his shoulder would have been near useless. Manfred used his hypnotism power to trick his own mind into thinking he had full movement of the limb until he could get Olivia to heal it completely.
"Looks like I got you Manfred... sorry" Charlie turned his back and started to walk away.
"What?" Manfred's eyes suddenly shot open wide as his shoulder turned into water and over half his torso splashed to the ground, Manfred gave a smirk after this and decided to humour Charlie's confidence and dropped to his knees. "You haven't won Bone, Come back here!"
Charlie stopped "your right, I haven't won until your dead Manfred" after he stopped this sentence however Manfred's nonexistent should spawned an exact replica... only made out of fire.
"You thought I was finished... HA! You foolish boy" Manfred dashed back into Olivia's tower of flames leaving Charlie Gobsmacked.
...
...
Back with Olivia
Manfred had returned alone and was healing his wounds using her power, that's all she knew, if Charlie hadn't followed that probably meant he had failed in his task to rescue her, if she had any control of her body she would have cried.
"Don't fret Miss Vertigo, he's alive... for now, I am going to use your power to finish him off" Manfred broke into his cliché manic laughter again.
"And what makes you think you can kill me Manfred?" Charlie appeared out of nowhere, it was true, without the use of Olivia's power Manfred was the equivalent of a mouse to Charlie.
"I have your little girlfriends power to destroy you with of course" And with that Charlie was swamped by a wave of Nothing... a black empty space... dark matter... the material hell must be made of; anything was possible with these solid illusions.
The Blackness was joined by other torrents of destructive force afterwards; Missiles, swords... T-rex's you name it and it was attacking Charlie bone, it looked like it was the end.
"You've failed to notice one thing Manfred" A voice came from the sphere of destruction.
Manfred's eye twitched.
"Look at the people on the grounds, they are unharmed" Charlie was correct; no living thing was effected by Olivia's illusion.
Manfred began to sweat bullets.
"Illusions like this can't have a negative effect on living things you idiot" With that the Blackness dispersed and Manfred was separated from the world of the living.
...
...
She could feel again, more importantly she could feel his warmth. Charlie was holding her again.
"She's waking up!" came the excited voice of Benjamin... a very alive Benjamin.
"Olivia you're amazing"
"You were God!"
"I'm so happy"
Olivia's eyes fluttered open to reveal she was in the hospital surrounded by friends and family, but most importantly she was in the arms of her love Charlie bone.
"What happed guys?" Olivia got straight to the point; unless they were many miles away then this hospital shouldn't exist.
"You happened Liv, after Manfred was killed his spell amplifying your power lingered for a while... a few days... you repaired everything! Including the ruins I might add and even brought Ben back to life!" Charlie was beaming a huge smile at his Girlfriend as she was hugged my Emma and neo Wyborn.
"Wow! I did all that, I guess Manfred was right to call me a god" Olivia's joke however rubbish managed to get the whole room laughing, there were just o happy.
They would live happy for a long time all thanks to a bit of time travel, illusion and above all else... Friendship.
It's Over! Its all over! Thankyou all for the suport and i am mega sorry for the wait! I have no excuse! Goodbye all!
