I apologise that this took a week to come out. Right now, I have ALOT of things to do and getting the few final chapters out will be a pretty hard thing to do. Nevertheless, I WILL try my best to update this story as much as possible during my busy time period which I think ends mid way of march or at the end. I REALLY am sorry! Thanks!
Final Boss Battle Chapter Fifty Nine: Infinite's Revolve I
White's POV
Damn her cannon! I can't get a proper aim because I have to constantly stay on the run just to avoid getting blown to red mist by her cannon!
Explosions and massive chunks of dark brown earth and blood stained, sharp confetti rained our battlefield as I kept on jumping and running around Black who tried to shoot me down with menacing explosive black balls that were charged with enough power to demolish an entire house.
Black and red smoke hissed up into the air with each payload that exploded violently all around me, shaking the earth vividly and briefly as the other Colours did their best to take on Grey from afar, but sadly, they were stuck in stalemate while I was stuck in a 'check' position. Dammit! She can predict my movements perfectly!
I kept on running, sweat dripping down hard from my forehead and my small handgun clenched tightly in my moist right hand, the trigger gently pressed down with my index finger. My legs ached and burnt up to how much I ran and dodged her attacks. Most of my stamina was already used up and I began to make small mistakes that almost coated my life a couple of times due to how slow my body reacted to my commands.
My ears were folded from the booming, ear splitting explosions which deafened me very slightly. I made a hard break as she fired one of her shots with a high pitched tone that caused me to grit my teeth and jump back out of desperation. I watched as the ball of blackness fired to the ground in front of me while I was still in mid air and explode violently, firing a toxic black haze straight at me... The shockwave of the explosion pushed me back a good three metres, along with the carbon dioxide as well which I inhaled constantly... My lungs nearly broke down, but I didn't falter just yet... I landed hard on the ground, bending my knees greatly as I backed away from the haze on the verge of collapsing... I could hardly breathe. Nor stand straight up any longer... I couldn't even move my arms due to how weak I became.
The black haze suddenly parted left and right as a strong gush of air broke through and blasted me back an inch, weakening me even more as I clenched my teeth and readied myself for her... At the other side of the dispelled haze, was Black who slowly walked up to me in an orderly fashion with a black sword in her right hand, pointing down diagonally in front of her, just grazing the bloodied grass.
I'm this weak already. Damn. I can only fire one shot and one only whether I like it or not. The shock of the recoil will kill me and put me down for good. Ok. I'll have to make this shot count then no matter what!
As fast as I could, I flicked my arm up in front of me with the pistol aimed straight at Black, causing her to suddenly rush up to me with lightning speed. Dust and grass rushed up from behind her with every step that got her closer and closer towards me. I rubbed and pulled down the trigger as hard as I could, gritting my teeth and bracing myself for the sheer power of the recoil which forced me to jolt backwards in pain. I dropped my gun and took a step back, watching my bullet whiz straight at her with lightning speed only to end up passing by her head to the right... Shoot... I'm screwed... I didn't expect her to be able to dodge something so fast up close with so little time!
Time slowed down as an overload of information flooded my brain, unable to properly comprehend what was going to happen. Black's sword, the Night's Melody, shone brightly in the afternoon sun like a mirror stained in red as it slowly approached my abdomen. I grit my teeth and braced for the razor sharp tip to impale me and as expected, it cleanly entered my body like a hot knife through butter. My eyes widened to the horrific burning sensation that spread around my body like wildfire, weakening me even more as the blade kept pushing its way into my stomach. Tears formed at the very back of my eyes as I helplessly watched and felt her blade enter my womb and exit it, tearing through my small intestines like paper. My eyes widened, sweet blood quickly rushed up my throat and drooled out from the corners of my mouth and down my chin.
As if that wasn't enough, she TWISTED the blade clockwise, tearing my flesh and innards into minced meat as more blood and pain destroyed my mind and soul. I could barely think anymore. The pain was too, too much for me to handle... Time resumed and in the blink of an eye, she drew her blade back out of me with a strand of blood reaching from my stomach to the tip of her blade... I dropped down to my knees in a swaying motion, unable to keep myself up as my vision began to spin and blur to the mass amount of pain which took my body by storm. My knees smashed against the bloodied grass, crushing it underneath my weight as I leaned backwards and fell onto my back helplessly... No... This can't be the end of my just yet... I need a little more power... Ack.
Black stood above me and stared me down with no emotion plastered across her beautiful, pale face which made me smile a little and take in a slow, deep breath before exhaling and awaiting for my execution. The grass tickled my ears and my cheeks as she raised her right arm high above her head with the sword, more than ready to strike me down dead with one deathly slash...
Even so, I still smiled and closed my eyes just as she pushed her arm down straight towards me... I heard the blade strike something hard. Something tough... Something metallic... There's no pain?... Does that mean... She killed me instantly?... But why am I still breathing then? And why do... I feel water dripping down onto my face?...
Slowly, I opened my eyes and met a pair of light red ones which had tears steaming out and slashing down onto my cheeks... I blinked blankly and tilted my head a little to the right, narrowing my eyes to properly see who this person was...
"That was too damn close", A familiar voice said from behind me... Frost... "Black, are you ok? Are you back to your senses?", He asked... Ahaha... So that's Black... Then why is she-
"Frost... End this now... I was the last guardian... And all that's left is Grey... I don't know how or why, but no matter how hard a Colour hits her, she won't take any damage", Black muttered in sadness as she slowly placed her right hand against my face, feeling how dead cold I was... Her hand was soft, warm and pleasant. But it didn't compare to Frost's... Why am I still thinking like this even tho I'm on the verge of death? Hehe, I'm too positive.
"Then that sounds like a job for me. Since you're no longer a 'part' of me anymore, I'm not a Colour. Just a legend", Frost claimed... I see... Ah... I'm getting so, so sleepy... I hope I wake up... To a happy end...
Frost's POV
This is too confusing. I thought in the past it was the Colours who fought the Guardians. Someone must've given me false information at some point of time in the past cause I had no clue that Colours could be Guardians. It makes no sense tho... Looks like I'm going to have to ask the Maiden of Wisdom if I want to understand anything... That's IF she agrees to and not gets carried away with Melody's desires. Second thought, that's probably a bad idea. A really damn bad idea.
I walked slowly towards the big fight up ahead where the rest of the Colours and Grey fought head on. They fired all sorts of of projectiles and carried out some pretty damaging attacks that didn't seem to phase Grey a single bit. She just stood there, using two large, light grey spikes that stuck out of her armour to fight for her like swords. Only were they EXTREMELY flexible and could withstand almost any punishment. From elemental to brute force to sharpness, nothing could destroy them.
I was genuinely unarmed for probably the first time in my entire life. Just my black, plain clothes and my bare hands to do all the dirty work. Of course, I still have my quote on quote 'powers', but not like before. These ones are MINE and MINE only. Pure willpower. Powerful HALF-sane mind and a heart of unending courage.
The grass crunched with ever step I took that lead me closer and closer to the ongoing battlefield which was a pricey hundred metres away, but with my right, light blue eye, I could see them as clear as day. They didn't stop for any sort if rest. They kept on bombarding Grey with as many projectiles as possible, hoping to get a lucky shot and break her defences but to no avail. Her silver 'secondary' set of arms easily whipped the attacks as if they were nothing. Even when an attack DID manage to luck through and hit her point blank, she would still be standing there with a smile plastered across her face. A deathly, demonic smile that I wanted to break and turn into a pitiful frown for easily being manipulated by the Corruption. I have to kill her no matter what even if it means sacrificing an arm or two. Heck, maybe even my own life!
I kept walking. And walking. And walking. I didn't stop once nor had a second thought about taking on Grey without a piece of armour let alone a weapon. Suicide at its finest. But unfortunately for me, I won't be dying any time soon. They kept on fighting and fighting and fighting over and over again, using the same old attacks and failing over and over. It was like I was watching a loop of time right before my eyes. Of course, the only thing that stopped it from looking like a complete time loop was the fact that the earth was scorched black and black carbon funnelled up into the air like dancing serpents. I'm sixty metres away right now... And I can feel the tremors of their ruthless attacks shake the earth like a snow globe. The sun was raised just after high noon in he cloudless, deep blue sky as Mount Winterfall stood to the far left of me, watching me make my advancement to the final entity with a smile plastered
across my confident, kind face.
Just as I reached the forty metre mark, Grey suddenly glanced at me with her ferocious dark grey eyes that had a small hint of purple which proved her Corruption. Her lips curved up into a deathly, horrific smile which carved fear into my heart as Yellow charged into her with an all-out punch aimed directly for her face, only to have it blocked JUST in time by one of the grey tendrils... It wrapped itself around her right arm, tugging her closer to Grey as she tried to pull back but to no avail. Grey's going to try something. But what?...
"You! Let go!", Yellow cried out at the top of her lungs in desperation as she tried to free herself, pulling her arm backwards as hard as possible and trying to pry it off with her free left hand.
"Unhand her!", Blue demanded as she sprinted up to Yellow from the side with a raised blade, intending to slice off the grey tendril wrapped around Yellow's arm by force... I fastened my pace, almost starting to sprint as I watched Grey's second grey tendril wrap around her waist and pull her back with such force, that a gallon of blood literally left her widened mouth as tears dropped from her light blue eyes... I get it... She's going to use them against me to keep me at bay... I'll show her...
Jace's POV
Our only hope right now is Frost. His chances of winning are slim but as long as we still have hope, we'll be alright... Damn this wound!
Frost's POV
Cheating, two faced mother... Gah! I knew Grey was low but not so low that she'd literally use the Colours as a threat against me!
I stood my ground, keeping a good and safe fifteen metres away from her as I had my hands clenched into balls of pain and fury down to my sides. My heart ached from the new pressure that invaded my system, taunting me with it's constant thumping that echoed like a lost dream. The wind blew hard from dead ahead, blasting the green, blood-fed grass towards me in a threatening manner. It whistled and whispered into my grey, cat-like ears which sat at the top of my head, pointing up like daggers. Behind Grey, was Red, Yellow, Blue, Sino and Orange who were bounded by chains that strangled and kept them put. The black, demonic, iron chains emitted a soft purple glow and pulsated a little. They had pained, scared expressions plastered across their frightened pale faces with tears building up in their eyes as if they were in agony.
I took in a deep breath of the fine, sweet scented blood flavoured air through my mouth and exhaled before letting of a small grunt and finally, speaking to Grey.
"You're more of a coward than I had imagined", I stated proudly, concealing my anger as much as possible. "I can't believe your wicked enough to use them as hostages to keep me from making a move".
She gave me a weak reaction, almost as if she wasn't even listening to me. However, her reply said otherwise.
"Wicked? Me?", She said with a small laugh, closing her eyes and tilting her head downwards as I clenched my fists a tad bit more tightly in annoyance. "The only one who's wicked here", She said, pausing for a second as she raised her head up to my level and opened her dark grey, deep, demonic eyes which stared straight into my soul. "Is you", She finished with a confident tone of voice... Wait... I get it. She's trying to provoke a reaction from me... Game on.
"Are you sure? Cause I'm not the one being mind-fucked by the Corruption and thinking of killing everyone here", I stated with a small smile plastered across my face as she closed her eyes and lowered her head. Then, she brought it back up and opened her eyes.
"Nothing is controlling me. This is how I've always been!", She claimed, making my smile widen even more as I felt a hint of anger hidden at the back of her voice... Even tho I smiled, deep down, I was furious that the sweet, adorable Nova that I saved and really liked a lot turned into this unforgiving demon. Killing her, is the only way to save her. Literally. "That sweet old Nova that you use to know was a fake! This the REAL me!".
"Pfft! Don't make me laugh!", I cried with a smile still plastered across my face and gulped as I readied myself to fire the first shot. Hehe, hopefully she doesn't just charge up to me and end me with one fatal strike! "The real Nova was a coward in fighting!", I claimed and immediately, she growled and grit her teeth, clenching the silver blade in her right hand as tightly as ever which threatened me. I braced myself, bending my knees and drawing my right foot back for support JUST in case she tries to slice off my head with one clean swipe. I know all too well that if you combine the speed of light AND darkness, you could easily run from here to the fucking centre of the universe in a minute FLAT.
"A coward, huh?! Prove it!", She exclaimed in anger... Alright... I need to fire a lose bullet then shoot the flare.
"Keep the others out of this. This is between YOU and ME. Only a coward would use hostages! And plus, I'm UNARMED!", I claimed, making her grunt and grit her teeth in pure anger which made me smile as she spoke immediately.
"No problem! In fact, I'll release them right now! Here!", She yelled at me and at once, the chains shattered around the Colours into tiny black fragments that littered the blood stained earth around them. They toppled over and kissed the ground hello in pure utter agony. I felt sorry for them, but as of now, this is the best I could do to help them.
"Not enough. You're still a coward. If you want to prove it, the come and take me head on!", I screamed out at the top of my lungs and at once her pink eye brows connected... Time to get ready for her entry KO! If one hit connects, then it's all over. Literally. "C'mon coward! I'm wide open! Or is it that you're too much of a coward to even think about taking me on-"... Eh?... There's pink strands of silk hovering in front of my face... I can't... Even feel... My stomach... Ack, it's like there's a rock inside of me. Drilling deep into my intestines with a blunt force... Dammit... I can feel blood rising up my throat, ready to spew out of my mouth and onto the already blood stained battlefield where many millions of casualties have already passed off into the realm of the dead. My eyes widened as the pain intensified. I slowly turned my head to the left to see a pair of dark grey, slightly purple eyes stare into mine with pure utter anger and frustration which immediately made me realise, I'm about to either die, or die painfully. Unfortunately tho... I don't give into defeat THAT easily. Especially when my life's on the line...
Time resumed, and I went skidding back on my heels a good five metres back as I grit my teeth and smiled at Grey who stood there with a frown and merciless eyes... Her speed is so fast, they time itself moves slowly for her... But whenever I get into a pickle, the same thing happens to me... I need to abuse it, no matter how much pain and suffering I have to go through... Even when I say that, I'm fucking half dead right now! Internal bleeding, probably ruptured organs and a broken rib to how powerful that punch was! I am BARELY standing my ground right fucking now!
"I'll never forgive you!", she screamed out at the top of her lungs and sent a devastating, EXTREMELY fast horizontal slash to my head which I just fucking barely ducked and rolled backwards to dodge one of her grey spines that would've impaled me completely. She REALLY wants to kill me! And that's a good thing... Her anger will make her fast, but also reckless. I can take advantage of that easily, but I best be on my guard.
When I got back up to my feet, I was forced to take three steps back as she swung her blade downwards at me and slashed horizontally twice. I was more than lucky to avoid those hideously fast attacks without a scratch and quickly jumped a tendril that tried to leg swipe me from the far left. I grit my teeth and landed hard onto the green earth before stepping to the right to just avoid another vertical slice that would've COMPLETELY cut me in half. Shit! I can't even catch my own breath let alone think about a good tactic on how to at LEAST get a hit into her! Argh! I guess I'll have to keep on dodging until I find something!
I grunted and flipped my grin into a small, annoyed frown as I glared my winter white teeth and jumped back to just avoid a downwards strike that struck the earth in front of me like a meteorite. Chunks of dark brown earth and the light green, blood coated grass exploded into a blitz of confetti which blinded my vision. I landed hard on my feet and jumped back again, using the brown haze as a smokescreen to make some distance between us... She wasn't going to let that happen.
My pupils contracted to tiny dots as I watched two of her grey, razor sharp, UNBREAKABLE spines at me through the smoke like bullets fired from a high velocity rifle. They completely dispersed the little haze and sped straight up to me with the deathly intention of ending my life right here, right now...
Time slowed down greatly for me as the two living spines came straight for my head and chest at now a painfully slow pace... The one aimed for my head is much closer then the one for my chest, so I'd better use this time frame wisely and dodge that first... Judging from my speed, I think I'll get a scratch out of this. A fucking painfully large scratch... It's do or die!
As fast as I could, while in mid air, I raised my hands up to my face and waited for the spike to get close to me so that I could successfully perform a risky manoeuvre that consists of ME having to use those spines as a means of movement cause of obvious reasons. My heart ached a little, but my burning will to succeed proved over it and gave me enough motivation to focus as hard as possible... Just as it came to reach, I clamped both my hands tightly on either side and used it to
launch myself towards the right in order to avoid certain death... My attire fluttered to my left with the cool, cool wind as I grit my teeth and kept my eyes locked onto the second spine which inched its way towards my chest... The first spine just BARELY missed my head, leaving me phase with widened eyes and a heart that bashed against my rib cage like a wild animal wanting to be freed from it's containment... Even tho I cheated death by using the best if my abilities, I didn't get out unharmed...
Before I realised it, the second spine was already an inch away from carving a hole into the left side of my chest where my heart resided... Ack!... It ripped through my flesh and slowly, slowly dug into my chest in search for my heart which flailed in fright... Echoing like a lost memory as I grit my teeth and endured the pain... I... Can't lose this easily! Argh!... Think! Think... No! There's no time to think... What to do... What to do?! I... Don't want to die just... YET!
As hard as I could, I narrowed my eyes and clenched into the grey tendril with both my hands as I grit my teeth and felt it reach deeper and deeper into my chest in search for my heart, aiming to puncture it and kill me without hesitation... Not on my watch! I am NOT going to die today!
"DON'T YOU DARE KILL FROST YOU BITCH!", I heard a voice scream from my right as I channelled my own will down my arms and pushed myself off of the spike... The moment I landed on the ground, time resumed and a high pitched fire emitted from the right, causing me to turn to see a hammer fly through the air and SMASH the spike before me into a million fragments of stone... E...Eh?! "JACE! CHARGE UP YOUR MOVE WHILE ME AND FROST TAKE HER ON!"... Star?!
Star's POV
I dodged her attacks with fluid movement, jumping left and right to avoid being struck down like a dog by her flailing, tentacle-like spikes that stuck out from the back of her armour. The grass exploded with every harsh step I took. Even more from my landings and jumps. My rapier, in my right hand, was pointed directly ahead at Grey who stared at me with furious eyes as Frost clenched onto his chest from the far left of her in agony... The plan right now is to keep her at bay while Jace charges up his ultimate move to take her down in one fell swoop... It can't get simpler than that. The only problem is how we're going to execute it! Haha! Let's do this!
"Fun Is Endless...".
"Kill Or Be Killed".
"Willpower Is The Hardest Of All Powers To Master".
"The FINAL countdown!".
