Breaking Clay!
Broken Prison Jar!
Foreman launched himself forward sending his entire body at Melody. Melody jumped backwards and landed on one of the clay soldiers. She pushed herself off of the clay soldier sending herself up into the air past Foreman. The clay soldier fell and shattered against the ground. Shi's yo-yo form sprouted small daggers from the center of the yo-yo. They dragged out and dug into Foreman's clay skin creating two long gapping holes in shoulder.
"Trying to destroy another piece of me, huh?" said the Foremanas he stuck his fingers into his new holes. "Too bad I can live with these holes." He dashed forward and thrust his spear outwards. Melody dodged backwards, but grimaced as the spear pierced her white stockings as well as some of her leg, blood dripped out of the wound and onto the ground.
"I can't wait to have a new body," said Foreman, "especially one as young as you two. Do you have any friends with you? Someone about your age? Cause young bodies are just so hard to come by these days. So many of them are overweight or have some kind of health deficiency. It's a pain…do you two have any diseases I should know about before I harden you in clay?"
"Yeah," said Melody as she sent Shi flying out at Foreman again, smashing the bladed yo-yo into his side, "I have a disease that makes it where I won't give in to the likes of you."
"She also has a disease called Cute-Butt-otosis," added Shi.
"Don't say that!" shouted Melody as jumped backward barely avoiding another scraping blow from Foreman's spear.
Foreman lunged forward sending his spear dangerously close to Melody's cheek. Melody yelped as she smashed into another one of the clay soldiers sending it straight into the ground, the clay shattering against the hard ground. Melody leapt back and sent Shi flying behind her. Shi wrapped its yo-yo's string around a dagger securely. Melody pulled it forward, ripping it out of the clay soldier's hand along with shattering the clay soldier's hand. Melody flung the dagger forward at Foreman. The dagger smashed into Foreman's forehead shattering his current vessel's body.
Melody whipped Shi around into a random clay soldier shattering it and sending it to the ground. As she brought Shi around again to smash it into another clay soldier, it came alive. It jumped upwards the clay shards slipping off of the new athletic body. It was a Caucasian male in his prime, probably early 30's. The man was well taken care of, huge muscles and incredibly strong. On both of his fists were brass launched forward from his place, he brought his fist upwards and into Melody sending her tossing and turning across the room.
Foreman leapt forward, refusing to let that be it. He brought his elbow down into Melody sending her flying downwards and into the floor. She grimaced as she brought herself to stand. She was breathing heavily, her entire body in a terrible state. "Shi."
"Right."
"Soul Resonance!" shouted the two in unison. The yo-yo began to spin rapidly its entire body spinning around and around. The small metal blades clicking one after another. Soon the entire yo-yo burst in brilliant white and red flames. The flames started to crawl up the yo-yo string's and onto Melody's hand and arm.
Melody lashed out sending the flaming yo-yo straight out at Foreman. The yo-yo flew through the air and smashed into the Foreman's bulging forearm. The flames exploded on impact easily smashing the arm into multiple chips that fell to the floor, helplessly. Foreman stumbled back his hand immediately fingered the new gaping hole in his arm.
"I'm impressed," said Foreman as he regained his balance, "the heat from the flames must make it easier to break the clay. Clever, but you still can't break all of my bodes before I break all of your bones!" Foreman rushed forward. He brought his remaining arm upwards smashing it into Melody, sending her into the air. He wrapped his hand around Melody's face and brought her straight down into the ground and pressed her into the ground, grinding her face into the hard floor.
"Are you having a hard time against me?" asked Foreman as he let go off Melody and stood straight, "I'll let you know something. The witch we are here to revive is tougher then me, he is stronger then me, he is more merciless then me. Be happy that you get to die at my hand," Foreman walked over to one of the clay soldier. He brought his arm straight down into the soldier's arm, breaking the blade it was holding free. He wrapped his hand around the blade and approached Melody once again, "because at least I am going to give you a quick death!"
"SAUL!" shouted Rochelle as she began to run forward towards the kids.
Saul jumped to his feet and wrapped his forearm around Rochelle's throat and used his other arm to brace his grip. He braced himself against the ground, refusing to let Rochelle mover forward even another inch. "You can't intrude on the fight yet! Those kids are up to something. They wouldn't be lying on the ground if they weren't. They are just getting a breather. Once they are done, they'll be back up and killing that witch."
Foreman smiled. "So much support. I got to admit it, it touches my heart. If you would've showed me a little more respect, then maybe, just maybe I would've spared you. Knocked you out, kicked you out of the temple, and then let you live your hopelessly misguided lives…but lets face it you didn't!" Foreman lifted the blade above his head ready to plunge it downwards into Melody.
Melody tossed Shi around behind Foreman and then sent Shi flying upwards towards the blade. Shi went underneath Foreman's good arm and straight up and around his blade. Melody yanked heavily on Shi's string, sending Foreman's arm downwards and back, forcing his own blade into his chest. Foreman's chest cracked wide open, soon the rest of the clay body followed.
Melody quickly jumped back onto her own feet and examined the numerous clay soldiers around her. She looked at each and everyone of them, expecting one of more of them to break free any moment now, charging at her with their own weapon. She couldn't even hear a thing, the area was deathly quiet.
"Look up!" shouted Shi. Melody immediately looked up to see what Shi saw.
A small slender man in a pure black jumpsuit was hanging upside down from the ceiling. Foreman slammed down into the ground crashing into one of the clay soldiers, smashing it into pieces. He bent down and picked up the small silver dagger the broken soldier was holding. "I'm sorry that I had to go to this extent in order to ensure your demise. I'll end it now!" Foreman dashed forward, his body a blur. He leapt forward sending his entire mass hurling at the duo.
Melody flung Shi forth sending his solid body forward and into Foreman blowing a whole in his chest and sending the empty vessel backwards careening into the clay soldiers behind, smashing them all to bits. Another clay soldier sprung to life slamming his knee into Melody guts and sent her back.
Foreman spun the large mace in his hand. "I can't believe I lost this many of my soldiers. I knew I should've brought some more with me from Egypt. But due to being rushed I had to make deal with the ones I stashed here already." Foreman looked around him and examined the damages, "absolutely disrespectful!" The majority of his clay soldiers were completely smashed, then most of the ones remaining had a limb or two smashed away.
Melody steadily twisted around to her side and stood up. Her body still hurting from Foreman's previous attack. "I don't know how many more of his hits I can take," said Melody.
"You don't need to take any more hits just avoid them," said Shi.
"If I would I could," said Melody as she spun Shi around on his string, trying to piece together all of her surrounding into a single puzzle that would help her beat Foreman. She was coming up to nothing. Even though most of his clay soldiers have already been smashed by her relentless attacks, he still had more then enough to finish them off as it was. Not to mention the fact Soul Resonance was really taking its toll on her body, Foreman's hits were beginning to feel like cinderblocks, and Shi was just a pain in the ass.
Just as Melody started to piece together her victory, a very powerful wavelength of pure soul pounded throughout the room. Melody's concentration was broken and her and Shi's Soul Resonance broke. The clay soldiers around them began to crumble under the sheer crushing strength of the soul wavelength.
Foreman stopped moving his entire body straightened out. "I welcome you, weapons and meisters! TO THE BEGINNING OF THE END!"
Saul leapt from his spot. His a glow with his Soul Wavelength crackling around it. He slammed his fist forward into Foreman's chest with speed and force that would put some roller coasters to shame. Foreman's chest cracked open, but his smile still present as the body fell to the ground.
"What were you doing?" asked Melody, "I just put together exactly how I was going to beat him. I was about to win!"
"You weren't doing it fast enough!" shouted Saul as he motioned to Rochelle. Rochelle lit up in a bright light and quickly reformed into her boomerang form, which flew to Saul. "A Soul Wavelength of that intensity could only mean one of a few things…the seal on the Prison Jar has become undone."
"I thought we still had another year left on it," said Shi, "I'm pretty sure a year hasn't passed since we got this mission, because if it did then I didn't get a birthday cake or Christmas presents."
"When you build something to hold off a powerful evil for about three millennia you sacrifice a year or two," said Saul as he began to run for the exit.
"So what kind of powerful evil are we talking about?" asked Melody.

The room was large and circular. There were currently two witches in it. Iblis Raven who was currently holding her own arm up. She was injured badly and bleeding profusely. She had on a makeshift cast of random fabric. The other one had on a pure white robe and his huge eyes were currently transfixed on the small jar in the middle of the room.
The jar was small with tapestries and talismans attached to it. The wooden lid on top was cracked, terribly close to the point of breaking.
There was a small shift in the corner. A clay soldier protected with an overcoat of armor sprang to life the clay dripping off of him. Foreman fell to his knees coughing. He looked up at the other two witches, neither one of them making any movements to help him to his feet, "No respect for their elders at all." He stood up and patted some of the remaining clay off of him. "Where's Spectra at?"
"We don't need her," said the one in the white robe as he scurried over the Prison Jar and tried to peer down into it. "He is almost here. What good is that little brat going to do for us?"
Foreman sighed. "I tried to give this man a proper welcome as a sign of respect to him, but I failed. A man of his age definitely deserves a proper welcome from his friends."
"Stop talking about your damn age," cursed Iblis as she gripped her wounded arm, "I have an injury? Where's my respect?"
"You lost," said Foreman, "people who run away from their fights don't deserve much respect. The old and the deceased deserve respect. I can help you become one of those…but the other is something you earn."
Iblis turned her head away and stuck her nose up at him.
A large white hand leapt out of the Prison Jar and onto the ground. A man slowly pulled himself out of her the Prison Jar. His entire body was covered in water, nothing else. He was tired and his eyes were pretty close to shutting. He turned around and looked at the large-eyed man, who was standing close to him. He motioned with his hand to the man and made a grabbing motion. The large-eyed man quickly took off his robe and gave it to him. He was left in a tight black T-shirt and short pants.
The man that came out of the Prison Jar wrapped the white robe around him. "A thousand years will give you such a crank in the neck," said the man as he twisted his neck around in his hand. He looked up at his friends and smiled, "this is the beginning of the end, friends."
The Prison Jar broke! One of the deadliest witches of all time is free and he has a plan and the power to execute such a plan. How will Shi and Melody fair now that Saul has gotten serious? How is Michael and May doing against little Spectra? Are Ash and Xander any closer to the Prison Jar?
I say welcome to the beginning of the end!
Also this new witch also has some basis in real-life. Any guesses? Probably not, I haven't given you enough information about him yet.
