Saku pelted them with magic, but it still didn't have any effect. I struggled as well.
A sudden cheer turned my attention to the stands. I looked up at all the people watching and smiled. This was my power.
Kuhn got me from the side while I was distracted. My Broadsword shattered into a million pieces.
I rolled to the side and slammed into the arena wall. I cried out in agony, and held my arm, the one that had been cracked before.
"LaPha Repth!" Saku cried.
I jumped up and drew my scythe, and sliced blindly. It caught Kuhn's gun, and the scythe shattered as well.
He fired a bullet and I rolled to the side
I jumped up, drawing my twin blades, and found myself face to face with Kuhn. His eyes seemed normal for a moment.
"Where were you?" He moaned.
Then his eyes went black, and he shot a bullet into me. The twin blades shattered as well.
I was weaponless, and about to face an AIDA infected Epitaph user.
"Rue Kruz!" Saku screamed.
Kuhn turned, and tossed a tentacle of AIDA at her.
"No!"
I lunged, and threw myself in front of the tentacles.
In those last few moments, I realized that Saku and Pi had taken down Kite and Balmung.
I winced, and waited for the AIDA to hit me, but it didn't. Saku and Atoli gasped, as I crossed my arms in front of my face.
I felt something hit me, and I slid back a few feet.
I opened my eyes, and found that I was holding to Twin Blades. They were cresent shaped, and beautiful. A slight smile crossed Kuhn's face, and his eyes were normal again.
And then it began. Kuhn dropped his gun, and summoned AIDA. It took the same shape as my blades, and he lunged.
He swung high and wide, showing his inabilities to wield twin blades. I went in close, and knocked him backwards.
"Rip Maen!" Kuhn snarled, reviving Kite.
"Rip Maen." Kite repeated.
All three of them were back up, and ready to fight.
"THIS IS EXTRODINARY! I'VE NEVER SEEN THIS KIND OF POWER! WHAT IS THAT MAGIC?!"
Magic, Alkaid thought. How is it that he doesn't recognize AIDA?
She could tell that the others recognized it, but the admins in the crowd didn't.
AIDA is getting smarter, she thought.
Suddenly, The three of them fell back. I realized what was going to happen as avatar marks pulsed along Kuhn's arms.
Yata, evacuate the arena!
Why?!
Look at Kuhn. He has a lot more AIDA in him than Ella did. He's going to release it on everyone!
... Alright, evacuating the area now...
Bursts of light illuminated the arena, as the people watching were logged out. Only Endrance, Sakubo, me, Pi, Yata and Haseo remained... or so it seemed. It became apparent that there were five other people in the arena.
There was Zelkova, standing with Matsu and someone else, and then Sakaki, standing with... Ella...
The Data fell away from us, and Kite and Balmung The azures summoned it into their bodies. Suddenly, in an explosion of light, three Avatars stood before me.
"Saku, Pi, get out of here!" I shouted.
They looked confused, but they left.
"Alright, Come on... come on..."
I sacrifice myself! I will recreate her body using my power! Corbenik will return, and I will be... I will be...
"Corbenik!"
Nothing.
"Oh come on... what this time."
"CORBENIK!" I screamed even louder this time.
This time, My Epitaph broke outward, and I was ready to fight.Pi, there's three of them!
Yeah, I can see that. I'm coming back to help.
But, isn't it...
It doesn't matter, we have to do it!
"Tarvos!"
Pi's rabbit looking Avatar appeared beside me.
"Skeith!"
"Haseo, what are you doing?!" I hissed.
"I'm helping out!"
"But, the Avatars frequency-" Pi started to say, but was interrupted by Haseo.
"You and I probably have the best control over our Epitaphs, since we've both had them for the longest, excluding Kuhn of course, and possibly Endrance. And Kaden... well she's okay I guess..."
"Thanks..." I thought about it for a moment. "I think."
"Well, looks like Corbenik is doing my job now." The girl whispered.
"Yes, it appears that way doesn't it, 'Kaldeon?'" Zelkova asked with a smile.
"Mmhm. But I prefer my real name."
"You mean, Kaldeon isn't your name?" Matsu asked.
"Nope, it's Miriam."
