They quickly made up a plan, in these last ten minutes they had. According to it, Anastasia would try to stall Malzahar as much as possible, while the others would stay hidden. A bit later, they would come out and fight him. The signal was "I made up my mind". Miley Cyrus and Demi Lovato wanted to fight too, while Selena Gomez and Taylor Swift preferred to stay hidden. Anastasia said she'd feel more safe if Warwick was hiding behind a rock, close to the point she'd meet Malzahar, just in case the prophet did anything to hurt her.
The prophet didn't procrastinate. One minute after everyone was perfectly hidden, he apppeared.
"Have you made your decision?" he asked Anastasia. Then he looked around him, confused. "Where is everyone?"
"I told them to go. I couldn't be the reason they.." Anastasia started saying. "You just have to let them out. You do have a spell somewhere along the way, don't you?"
"Yes. And it shall be de-casted by the time they get there." the prophet said, and then mumbled something that sounded pretty much like a spell.
"So, they can go now? They are free?" Anastasia asked him.
"Yes, thanks to you, darling" he smiled. "You did the right thing. When they cross the gate, they'll forget everything, including you."
"You'll kill me, right? After I deliever." she said.
"I won't need to" the prophet laughed.
Even though Anastasia knew it was her that had the upper hand in this situation, his laugh had the same effect on her as before: she was frightened.
"Chances are, you'll die when you deliever. You see, there's a small price to pay for bringing darkness into this world."
"Chances are? You mean, I could survive?"
"Yes, but it's not very likely and, trust me, darling, you shouldn't wish it."
Why shouldn't I?...
"All I wanted was to save my friends... so, I made up my mind."
Miley, Demi, Taylor L., Zac, Fanie, Warwick, Vladimir and the wolves came out of their hideout. Before they could attack Malzahar, he summoned an army of Kha'zixes, as he understood their intentions. How predictable for a prophet, you'd say...
Selena Gomez and Taylor Swift were watching from afar.
"What do you think?" Selena asked Taylor S.
"I think they have them" Swift responded calmly. "Look at how vulnerable their wings are!"
Frankly, the insects were pretty easy to kill. Celebrities hit them with hair pins, pocketknifes and any other sharp object they possesed. Warwick and Vladimir performed their abilities while wolves were simply attacking the insects. Malzahar wasn't present in the battle, though: he was watching them from above, flying. As soon as our fellowship had slain all the insect monsters, Malzahar flew down to them, slowly landing on his feet.
"You think you could trick me, huh?" Malzahar said as he approached them. "You legitimately thought this was all I have? Hahahahaha..." that laugh again...
"This was only the beginning! Now, this will be a real battle, like the one you deserve to die in" Malzahar said, and with that, he chanted a spell which summoned another void-creature.
This one had big pincers, big teeth, green eyes and its body was red and dark purple. It also seemed to be starving, and, oh.. it had twice the size of a normal human.
Fanie gasped when she saw the creature. "That's Cho'gath" she whispered at the rest of the group. Vladimir's cold hand reached for hers and held it tightly. "Don't worry" he whispered back, "there's only one of him and so many of us. It is almost fair." Almost?
Cho'gath started roaring at the fellowship while they tried to fight him. Malzahar also tried to fight the fellowship, creating a null zone on the ground that made them feel dizzy once they stepped on it. But he was there this time, exposed and vulnerable. He could get hit.
Vladimir turned himself to a pool of blood and he stayed under Malzahar's feet, so he could damage and slow him at the same time. The wolves took their time to bite the prophet as he was slowed, till his body was so wounded that he gave in his injuries. He screamed "Nooooooo!" and then he died. Or they thought so... He actually got sucked back to the Void, turning into purple dust right in front of their eyes, but he wouldn't harm them for a long time, that was for sure. When he was gone, Cho'Gath disappeared too.
Vladimir stepped in front and touched the purple dust Malzahar had left behind him. He chuckled and turned to the others, saying "We won!"
Everyone cheered and felt relieved. Taylor S. and Selena finally came out of their hideout, saw that they were safe now and left with the other celebrities, as well. Fanie, Vladimir, Anastasia, Warwick and Taylor L. remained there for a while, talking about their future.
Anastasia wanted to distance herself from Taylor L. She didn't want to be reminded of all this and of the baby she once had in her belly... so she asked Warwick to stay with him for a while, in Valoran. Fanie went with them too, after Vladimir asked her to do the same. And they all lived happily together...
