Chapter 50

The long haul

(Tehg hysteric form POV)

(Continue/play-Together we Ride- Fire Emblem)

Me and Echo clash blades as G1 comes in from the side lines, stabbing him in the ribs and staggering him. I take the chance and diagonally slash his chest, making ice erupt out of it.

"G1, KEN, GET HERE WITH ME!" They nod and stand by me. "Grab my blade. I want to try something."

"I don't like you like that." G1 said to me. They lay their hands on the grip near mine and I focus all my power into the blade.

"SWORD STYLE: DGU DEMON!" They let go and the sword morphs with demonic like rocks forming on it. "BLINKING EDGE!" I teleport through him three times, each time stabbing a random place on his body. "Ken can you do that dimension thing again?" He nods, taking a stance.

"DIMENSION BASH!" A hologram of Garland, Bryce and Tamazaki appears and they charge with Garland sniping echo, staggering him again while Tamazaki punches him in the face. Bryce finishes up by stabbing him in the shoulder before disappearing. G1 pulls a scythe out of nowhere and throws it at the echo, impaling his shoulder and making him grunt in pain as a layer of frost forms by the wound. Dezz runs up to him and leaps into the air and screams.

"I CAN IMITATE TOO! SUNBREAKERS WRATH!" He gets lit on fire while throwing hammers made of fire, continuing to shout. "I AM THE NORDIC GOD OF LIGHTNING!" Then lightning strikes down.

"I think Thor just gave you his input…" I said to him.

"I can feel it….Thanks…" The hammers he is still continuing to throw hit the echo and he gets knocked back a few feet. I leap forward smirking.

"LUNA!" I look at my blade which had a blue hint to it and thrust it into his chest, making him cry out in pain. I jump back and Solar aims her sniper at him.

"SOLAR BURST" She yelled as she fired a small orb of fire towards him. When it lands near him a giant pillar of fire spouts from the ground, engulfing him. When it faded he started laughing.

"You all are indeed stronger, but I'm afraid I grow bored…GRASP OF THE EMPEROR!" He closes his hand and we all fall to the ground feeling EXTREMELY weak…

(3rd POV)

The echo laughs again while walking towards me. "Oh…how the mighty have fallen…" He aims the sword for Tehg's head and starts pushing it down.

"NOT ON MY WATCH!" A voice shouts as a gunshot rings out and a metallic clang. Two figures land near Tehg.

"Sorry we're late to the party." One of them says. They pull their cloaks off and they were Storm and Garland.

"Yeah…you're late…very late" Garland sighs and walks towards the echo.

"Storm, you heal everyone while I keep him busy." Storm nods as she goes to heal Tehg. As he was being healed, he saw Meta jump onto Garland's shoulder out of nowhere. He shouts something and with a flash of light he's now wearing a suit of armor.

(Garland POV)

"Okay, let's do this." I fly upwards and fire a shot off at the echo. He dodged at the last minute and threw his great sword at me. I barely got out the way before pulling off an attack. "METAL SLUGGER!" I shoot Meta somehow, since he's the part of the armor (Plot convenience) 'Ok then…' and it hits him square on the head.

"OWCH!" He screams before yelling in anger. Giant bat like wings grow out of his back as he flies up. "NOW YOU DIE YOU LITTLE RUNT!" He grabs me and throws me into the wall.

(Tehg POV)

After Storm healed me I shot up and kicked echo in the chest knocking him away from garland. I hear windows shattering to see two familiar faces rappel down along with my hunters.

"YO DARK YOU'RE LATE!" It's THE BOSS and Dark along with the hunters.

"So? Better late than never. Besides, the cavalry has arrived." Dark shouted back. The hunters cheer and jump off the wall, attacking the echo in any way they can. THE BOSS joins them while dark heads over to me.

"Sorry I'm late…We got stuck in traffic" He said.

"In the air?"

"Fine…We ran into some resistance along the way. Either way, we're here now. So, are we going to kill him or not?" I nod and we get back into the fight.

(Switch songs-Run with Wolves- Lisa)

I run up, slash down on his chest, and jump back with Dark following up with a thrust through the knee. THE BOSS unsheathes a cleaver and gets a clean cut on the echo's wrist, making him drop his sword. "Hey Dezz, wanna get stronger?" I ask as he rejoins the fight.

"Sure…" I smirk evilly sheath my sword. I cup my hands together and chant.

"KAME….HA-" He grabs my throat and throttles me.

"YOU FINISH THAT PHRASE AND I WILL END YOU" He then proceeds to drop me and lets out his rage on the echo. He knocked him around and finished with a round house kick, launching him into the wall. I grab my sword again, (how I sheathe it when it turns into a crystal…idk) and charge in, slicing all over and making ice shoot out of him. THE BOSS follows up with a slash cutting his entire right arm off.

"GUAAAAH! YOU BASTARDS! YOU…might actually kill me…." I laugh while getting into a stance.

"Well then let me be the one to show you the bliss that is death…THY ENEMY WHO HAS POSED A THREAT UPON THESE LANDS! I'LL DELIVER THEE! FINAL EXE: JUDGEMENT!" My entire body and blade gets engulfed in light as I charge forward and strike him, causing a giant explosion.

(End song)

[Battle…over]

The dust settles and I see the echo still alive but barely. He was laughing his head off, using his sword as a cane while walking to his throne.

"You fools are too late…Ragnarok is HERE!" He destroys his throne and a beam of light shoots up and opens into a door shape. Two figures walk through, one which Garland recognizes. "ARFOIRE!? HOW ARE YOU ALIVE!?" She smirks.

"The echo can revive people, remember?" Garland just thrusts his fist into the ground as I look at the other figure.

"Who are you?" I ask and she bows.

"I am the succubus princess Candra. It's a pleasure to meet…and kill you all." I shiver slightly.

"You guys are in league with this guy aren't you?" I asked her. They look at him and laugh as Candra raises a finger and clicks it, making him explode.

"None, dear….He was a mere pawn for my resurrection. As for Arfoire here, she's here for her own reasons…" I clench my fist in anger

"He may have been a bad guy, but he was an honorable one…and for you…to…kill him…I WON'T LET THAT SLIDE!" I grab my sword and charge at her only for her to yawn and block it with her finger.

"You know, I'm a bit rusty from millions of years of slumbering, so I'll give you a deal. If you beat Arfoire in 3 months, I'll give you a sporting chance at killing me. Since I'm perfect, I'll have to hold back about 70% for you to hurt me…So I'll be off now. Best of luck." She just teleports away as Arfoire laughs.

"Good luck kids! I'm stronger than I was before and I won't be that easy to find!" She just teleports away. Just then raider appears.

"The fuck are you doing here?"

"Reasons" He holds his hand out. Orbs appear and start going towards him and it clicks. "You're trying to absorb the echo's power ain't YA?" He smirks.

"Why yes… Yes I am…" I rush at him too late as he absorbs the last of it and makes some sort of figure appear. "Say hello…TO MY ECHO!" It punches me and Raider just walks off through the portal that Candra and Arfoire came through.
