POV Narrator:
The final battle is intense, to the point that two of the nine witches had to reach the space to defeat the missile with Miranda Holbrook who wanted to take it to the end, at that moment the whole world was watching the scene in shock, people were rooting for the witches' victory to happen, people trying to evacuate the city were even stopping to just watch and cheer for Diana and Akko. It will be a very hard battle against the powerful witch and former director of Luna Nova.
In Doras the cheering was intense and the faith in the witches was the pillar of everything, they ate popcorn and watched it as if it were the premiere of a movie, in Luna Nova everyone who works for Miranda was rooting for Diana and Akko also wants the boss to be defeated and peace to return to the world In the room of the minister of the United Kingdom things were intense, everyone was in the greatest tension, since this whole battle with the missile going up with the rocket annulled the defenses, everyone except Andrew who was very positive for the witches' victory, seeing that they could win.
POV Akko:
Now we can finally defeat her, Diana and I look at each other, we've been staring at each other for a long time, I'm already starting to raise my hand with the staff, to turn it into a bow and arrow with the first word, while Diana started to pick up the flute.
"Take care of Holbrook, I'll use the flute as much as she can" My girlfriend said.
"Look, do you really think you can handle me?" Miranda said to us and I already shot an arrow in her direction.
Miranda dodges and goes up to me, what I can block her attack with the staff and with the touch ends up repelling, giving even a shock in her hand and in this gap I use the second word transforming it into an axe what she dodges, I go hitting the handle of that in her that defends my attack after I see her desaperate, it is different here, we don't have a gravity pushing what ends up leaving different the blows.
I go with a whole impulse with my magic up to her throwing my body, she was going to hit Diana and I saw that my movements are faster than her in the space, how ironic, she ends up flying a little up with the impact of my blow.
"That's enough! This lack of gravity is killing me! I'm not playing games anymore" Miranda said and she raised her hand creating a huge ball of magic, she throws it towards me.
I go holding it with all the strength I had but it was just a trap she came up to Diana, but when I hit her she faced a barrier, I had even managed to repel that huge ball of magic, but I was hit by Miranda right in the stomach, she then throws me with everything towards the back of the rocket and goes holding me by the collar.
I'm starting to get punched, I'm worried that Diana will be hit, I'll stay here buying time, the punches here in space are very different than on earth, they seem slower, it's strange, or maybe it's Miranda's clothes, they still hurt a lot and her hands are still cold, it's cold up here in general.
"Look who is going to get his face all busted up and die having our land as his last sight, you will cease to exist in this place just like the several lives that inhabit here" Miranda said and I just kept smiling, she raises one of her hands that has a claw and I get ready to leave here.
When she was going to hit me with everything I make the staff float in front of me and end up protecting my face from her nails that are breaking in several pieces flying in the space. I take the shiny Rod again and use the third word, creating the hook and use that to throw her with everything in the direction of the space, so she stays drifting and I see that Diana still continues to play with the flute.
She is thrown to the immensity of the space, I ride the broom of the fifth word, I keep looking to Miranda she propels herself in my direction, we go one in direction of the other, she keeps getting close I keep the look, it is only I get a tear even if minimal in her clothes and I do it with the second word, leaving the broom, using her impulse.
Only the axe doesn't even come close, Miranda ends up dodging my attack, which I go after by returning the fifth word.
"Do you think I would let you rip my clothes? I know that's your idea, now your friend is going to take everything" She said and I go smiling as I pushed to get close to her with the broom.
"Enjoy the gravity pulling you" I say as I turn the broom into a hammer with the second word, I remember doing that with Croix's missile, now I'm doing it on Miranda.
She only had time to think quickly before getting hammered and falling into her defence, it was starting to go into a free fall, I on the other hand use the third word hook on the missile going up to the top and I even get gasping for breath, but realise Miranda was there reappearing after using a portal magic, she went looking at me and I looking at her.
"It was a smart move, if I kept my mouth shut I might burn a little on re-entry into the atmosphere, but look weather is being the biggest enemy against you, it seems we are slowly losing altitude" She said and I didn't realise, yet I will still manage to win.
"Even so we won't reach their destination anymore, at this time the missile is already over another place, look where we are, right over North America" I tell her and she shrugs.
"Regardless of where I fall I'm going to wreak havoc, ye'll still be defeated, plus people fae a while will condemn us witches while they kill each other in a third world war, ye could reign, but ye chose tae side with the mundanes, see the mistake ye made Diana, having empathy fae this mundane only ended up getting ye in this life or death situation" My girlfriend finished making the sound.
"Akko yer turn tae do something with the staff, say all the words over the glyph I made,now I will get my share of revenge" Diana said and I nodded.
I hand her the Kagari's katana that fits like a glove on her hand and I go on passing, what Miranda even tries to attack us, but we both kind of defend ourselves, with Diana using the blade of the sword that ends up being blocked by Holbrook and me getting to where the seal is, now it's my turn to start messing with the magic of this glyph.
POV Diana:
I can feel Miranda's magic from here, also from the katana, sae that's the power of the Kagari, I could see it's nae joke really, it even raised a bit of a shockwave and here in space things get even more impressive. Miranda takes a few steps back and just raises her hand tae me, trying tae use sae I'm thrown backwards, but I decide tae use the katana tae brake and she goes crazy, that was the plan, she comes with everything worried and goes even trying tae attack me, but I dodge.
"No! No! The missile can't be damaged" she said and I could only see that she used magic tae repair around where I scratched but that's it, just scratched and nae big deal, the plates on this thing are resistant.
At that I go running towards her with the sword in hands, she blocks with the staff and also turns into a sword, we face each other, she inside the helmet and I with my magic protection.
We jump backwards, I could feel that she dinnae mess around, here without gravity it's different, I go giving a light thrust from the front, she does one with everything and hits me, which raises some good sparks with the iron tae iron contact
"Do you really think you're enough to me Diana Cavendish? Think! Think!" She says, who then ends up punching me in the face, and then throws me against the missile making me fall.
She almost hits me with her sword, but she only did that tae intimidate and stay close tae my face, then she takes the blade away and I let the Katana fall from my hand, she is close tae Akko, that look of hers is giving me a lot of fear, even more that she only wants tae intimidate me, what can I do now, I try tae escape, but I feel something holding me were rings that were left on my arms and legs.
"You could have been a queen Diana, you could have your perfect life, even the freedom to be who you are, I've never been prejudiced against people like you, I'm one of those people, I had a romance with Denise, but you insisted on having the line of thinking of that woman your mother, that woman who only wants to destroy magic, you could have lived with quality, but you chose this... The Cavendish lineage can die with you here" She said and this talk dinnae stick with me, I even decide tae spit on her helmet, but the spit dinnae fly enough and ends up just flying in the air.
"I hate ye Miranda, ye killed my mother, ye did everything bad that happened tae my family" I tell her in a rage.
"Oh if that's the way you want to think, then I'm going to have to do it" She said raising her hand and starting tae punch me.
I was taking some very strong punches in my face, she was hitting me with everything, I was feeling the pain and the cold here in space only gets worse, it's much worse than the cold of the Arctic of Arcturus, this here
is even colder, it seems that she is punching with ice stones in my face that is also hard, ahhhhh, I'm already feeling the pain, the blood bubbles that were flying through space due tae the blows and freezing on the spot because we are in space.
"Come on Diana think! Think! We can work together!" she said, and then jumped back.
The Katana narrowly misses her and I manage to let go calmly, the Katana returns tae my hand, I even stand up and see that Akko is finishing speaking the words in that glyph, what I see is that Miranda is looking at us, she seems tae be even a little lost I dinnae know, the feeling is that she dinnae imagine tae be at this point, I go facing her with the sword in hands and continuing concentrated.
"You're actually lucky, I can't go with everything because these clothes don't let me and my magic is limited because I have to breathe," she said, already starting tae say things.
"I thought I thought ye were winning, are ye scared of losing to two 18 year old lassies?" I say tae her who is propelling herself towards me.
I even try tae use the Katana tae stop her but she goes pushing me, trying tae knock me against the atmosphere, I go falling a little and I see down there getting closer then she gets loose from me and uses her magic tae come back up, I go seeing that I can melt in nae time I try tae use my magic but a hook catches me, takes me up, which I am even relieved.
When I return I see that Akko and Miranda were leaving in the hand I soon appear and I go giving a volley in her that dodges us both and Holbrook goes trying tae hit us in some way that we also dodge what we are staring at each other from one side to the other.
"It seems that the two are not with everything, so much time to be using their relics for nothing, just to draw a glyph on the missile, it seems that the stubborn ones really want me to take drastic measures, I think I spent a lot of magic with this, but it's time to put an end to you two, I gave you the chance to live long" She said walking back exactly where the tip of the missile was.
POV Akko:
She really wants to go and try an ultimatum against us, we saw her with her arms open, trying somehow to extract energy from the missile, which she was running out of her spacesuit and then magic was making her wear a mask just like ours for breathing, just as her body seemed to be protected, she's wearing an outfit just like ours, it's getting pretty tense and scary here.
"I knew things could come to this, so I made sure that in the last moments when you think you are winning I come up with this surprise" said Miranda who stared at us.
"Love let's go all out on her, without mercy" Diana said.
"I will not hesitate if it is to come to kill" I say already using the seventh word and turning the staff into a sword, just like my girlfriend is with my ancestor's katana.
We go together in a pose towards her who goes at us like a real steamroller and just runs over us with her arms and makes us lie down in the middle of space then turns around and grabs our heads pressing against the missile, which I only see me being thrown and a light was coming towards me followed by an explosion. I went just seeing her reappearing behind me giving a kick to hit us but it seems that a barrier appeared, the same thing with Diana what she goes trying to reappear from the front and I manage to counter attack, this time she tries to go on top of my girlfriend and I go on top of her to give a slash.
"Watch out fae me Akko!" Said my Cavendish almost being hit by the jab, which Miranda dodged.
I feel a powerful magic and Diana makes the smoke dissipate, then a huge ball of light hits us, exploding with everything and luckily we fell right where the missile was, but we are very hurt, I try to stand up but I am very sore with few blows, I see that Holbrook is practically unharmed and she keeps laughing at us.
"Did you really believe you would stand a chance against me? I am the most powerful witch that ever lived" She points her finger at herself and goes on stepping on me.
"Akko!" Said my girlfriend worriedly and trying to go to me, but Miranda grabs her neck.
While Miranda was torturing the two girls, on television and all media, Laura and the girls in the labnoticed that they were appearing and a wonderful speech that could be heard by everybody, even bythe three girls in space, could be heard...
"Are you going to leave it at dat? Look at de two chances of humanity to survive on de edge of death, we 'ave to believe in dem and put faith in dem, cheer for deir victory, it's not just deir fight, it's a fight of all humanity, believe in yourselves dis is de true magic of you for de survival of humanity, for de witches, for de good of all de lives dat inhabit our planet, believe in de witches, dey will win!"
The speech was beautiful from Mrs. McLaren, but now I'm here on the floor all detonated, well bruised, I don't even know if I can get up, I've been punched and kicked in several parts, my body is sore Diana is worse, I see Miranda even takes Mako's katana she's going to do it right on us, she was walking towards me while she was scraping her sword against the missile and making that noise of iron dragging on iron.
"Oh what a silly little speech, you will only be forgotten in this now it is time for your end Atsuko Kagari, I want the pleasure of killing you first before your girlfriend, so much they did with those relics and did nothing" Said Holbrook coming on top of me.
I see her raising the Katana, I feel something flowing in my body, it seems like magic is magic, the sword arrives in me and I gain a huge agility, I hold the sword by the blade without being cut and I manage to brake from taking a final blow, I'm getting up little by little feeling my wounds all healing, I'm seeing a green passing under my feet, that's a good sign.
Then I go getting up I don't know where I got strength from, but even Miranda goes walking backwards confused, I then take the Katana in hands taking it from her and go looking her eye to ey
"What's that? That's impossible!" Miranda said.
"Impossible and you haven't changed that heart yet" I tell her with the Katana in hand and Diana comes to my side.
"Hahahahahaha! Just because they had a little help with a speech they think they can defeat me? They were only healed, they were lucky to have this protection, but now they will know the terror of..." I decide not to waste time.
I shove the Katana just once in her stomach, and I walk forward, she notices the cut and looks down and then Diana knocks her down, which I take the katana from there and I see her healing quickly, I just stare at her in pain and regenerating, it's time to do what was needed.
Diana arrested her with magic, now yes that Miranda doesn't get loose anymore, I kept looking at her with the katana in hands and really she didn't get loose I even take a deep breath.
"You will regret doing this, you only beat me with the help of the people, in the end these people will stab you in the back, that's what will happen, you will only kill magic, I can say at least that I tried to warn you, I fought until the end for the preservation of tradition!" she said trying to speak.
"Goodbye Miranda Holbrook, you fought for your selfish desire and killed innocent lives, the innocent lives are all in this sword, it was bad Mako, but she will be used to deactivate this missile and stop Holbrook, but I believe she will be used to leave your spirit alone, it is your end now cursed witch!" I say to her.
Diana and I, hand in hand, stuck the Katana inside Miranda's chest and then we stuck the sword inside the missile, going as far as we could and then we got to where she was at the limit, stuck inside, without the missile activating, then the shooting star broom came, we stood on her taking some distance from the missile and seeing that Miranda was still stuck to the sword.
"Now yes, for the end of the oppression, for the beginning of a new era, for the good of humanity, for everything the world wants, for the hope that every human being who believed in magic, we will give an end to this thing with our magic!" I say pointing the staff in the air holding it with Diana who was with the flute.
"Fae all that the world has fought tae preserve magic, I declare that it is the beginning of new times! Humanity will be saved thanks tae its faith in magic and it will be restored, sae that everyone can believe in something real and have the presence of witches again, we witches will at once save everyone" Diana said.
"Noctu OrfeiAude Freator! Phaidoari Afairyngor! Arae Aryrha! Mayenab Disheebudo! Lelladibura Civilladura! Lyonne! Fasannciel Shearilla!" I speak the words and Diana would play the flute which we both together merged into a huge ballista which was left with the fusion of both magical relics, which was also combining
the broom, which we were practically floating from space having the view of the earth from below, very beautiful and Holbrook's body still attached.
The magic of everybody was flowing in that huge ballista getting a very strong green light, we could see the several energies of the people coming from the earth, I imagine how must be the people looking at us hopeful, we watched the missile well, the magic here is powerful, it can be felt everywhere I have no doubt, this here will be more than enough to handle the missile.
"Now!" We both said.
The arrow went all the way through the missile, which we even landed back on the broom and watched everything, the missile was completely pierced by the arrow and we could even see that Miranda had managed to get the sword out of there, but it was too late, a sphere was left around the missile, huge it was then starting to get filled with the powerful and powerful explosion of the missile, which I think was the end of Miranda.
"Woah... That's beautiful!" I say in amazement.
"I think that's the end of it all Akko" said my girlfriend.
The sphere then opens, the explosion gets a strange energy, getting a green energy around it and creating a whole dome that was then spreading and making a format of several lines with triskellion, then it gets all kind of green covering the earth with several purple crosses spread around the planet and then the things were all dismantling as if they were shards of glass, This all over the entire planet, which was generating a rain with different shapes, they looked like sparkles, Arcturus' leaves, with the triskellion, the staff, they were all falling and were minuscule all over the earth, as if it was a rain of magic.
"We made it" We said together looking relieved at the sky.
A portal opens next to us, we looked at each other and went into the portal which I imagine the world must be celebrating a lot after all this victory of ours, I hope I can finally be ShinyAkko now, the gates to my dreams will open, I'm sure everyone must have seen this and we were helped by people.
POV Narrator:
Akko was quite correct, the whole world was celebrating the witches' victory as if it were a huge victory, after fighting so hard they managed to defeat Holbrooke and everyone was delighted with the rain of magic that fell from the sky, just as the news around the world was amazed with a sudden change in programming and everyone was talking about the same thing, the heroine witches who saved the earth from a war.
In Doras it was one emotion after another as they saw that the victory was a success, apart from the many beautiful images they could see of the earth and Holbrook's defeat of her missile and all humanity helping Diana and Akko. In the ministers room they were all celebrating but in shock to see that two witches were able to stop an explosion like that amazed at the rain of magic that covered the earth with lights.
"I told you, the witches were going to defeat that damn thing, I was correct about everything" Andrew said and his father was even visibly disgusted.
"That was pure luck, they could have used magic and even rigged this performance" Paul said.
"If they really armed, Diana and Akko wouldn't have stuck a Katana through Miranda Holbrook's heart, they were fighting for their lives, that witch could kill them and kill everyone else, you seem to have a memory of convenience father it is clear that the witches are fighting for us" Said the younger Hanbridge.
"Well, whatever this discussion is about, they really defeated the missile with the magical power, as a deal is a deal I will make my promise worthwhile, I will talk to the queen..." When the prime minister doesn't even wait, she enters and salutes Andrew.
"My congratulations for the act of heroism and being the only one to trust the witches, you were right, I received news that you were the crazy boy who trusted the witches and that I should get you out of here soon, but when I saw the results I think I can congratulate you for the victory, as well as I will decorate each of the heroine witches, my congratulations for bravery Sir Andrew Hanbridge" Said the queen bowing to the boy and he being surprised.
"What? He only said to trust the witches my majesty" Andrew's father said.
"She was the only one to trust them, I see he has a friendly history with witches, by the way this is very annoying of you to be undervaluing the title of Sir of your own son Sir Hanbridge, this boy was a hero today, as were the witches who risked their lives, after that I want them to attend" said the queen.
And so it was causing a huge envy on behalf of several of the soldiers and members of the British government for Andrew who showed an enormous tranquility when he received the title and serene was talking to the queen who still gave some more awards while the boy spoke of the witches involved with all this.
The world was witnessing something great, a rain of magic, children from all over the world were enchanted by the magic and also by the heroism of the nine witches who were able to save the world from the missiles, they were able to bring a new hope to humanity, it was the beginning of something great that was about to happen to magic all over the world.
In Doras some people were disappearing and stopping in a mysterious place, where there were all the heroines of the new nine witches, it was a place from Arcturus which they had been before, but this time with all the Lilith's relics and also not only that but the presence of Lilith herself what were getting all amazed with what could come.
"What? Where 'ave we come to" Said Laura confused and immediately noticing she is crying.
"Mother!" Said Diana and Hellene running up to Mrs McLaren who is hugging her, all three crying with emotion.
"Well I guess this is the end of it all" Croix said.
"Remember here Croix, now you will have the chance to see what the Gran Triskellion is all about up close" Chariot said.
"Oh and how I tried to break that seal, but now the chosen one and the hero witch will do it, seriouslyAkko, you were brilliant, you all did what we could never do in all the years" Meridies said.
"You have come this far, from now on a new era of magic will begin so you can place the relics of the triskellion and this will make Yggdrasil revive and all magic will spread again all over the world, people will no longer be dependent on the sorcerer stones, times will go back to the way they were in the golden age of magic and the nine witches" said Lilith to all of them and Akko went walking with the staff in hand.
"You've helped me a lot, little man, but now it's time for your spirit to finally rest" Kagari said.
She was placing her relic in one of the triskellion's circles, as well as placing the other relics and the girls were watching everything, seeing Kagari reaching beyond what she might be able to reach, she was the least probable chosen of this whole journey, after placing everything she signals to the girls and stands in the middle of the Triskellion, which is shining and then rises a part of earth that covers the Japanese all around, just as Laura and Chariot end up disappearing.
"What? Mother?" Diana said as she noticed Mrs McLaren's disappearance.
"Probably the chosen ones will all get together, it's going to be a big one of a gathering of seven witches, the Gran Triskellion will be a big event in their lives" Croix said.
"Akko..." Cavendish then said just thinking about his girlfriend who is in that situation.
"Now they are going to the final part of their journey, they were brave until here, but everything comes to an end, you were also brave witches, thank you for freeing me, I will help a lot in our world in this future, the new era of magic will begin and it will be something big, you guaranteed the future for your generation" said Lilith and they all nodded their heads.
Lilith then goes disappearing in mid air, turning into several butterflies, while the girls are apprehensive looking at the Triskellion that looked like a rose when it gets all covered and sealed, what they think about what might be happening on the other side if Akko is fine just like Chariot and Laura, talking among themselves also about how the whole fight was, the girls impressed in the movements of each one and calling Diana lucky to have seen the space in person with Akko and how an opportunity to kiss was missed.
Akko and Diana defeated Miranda Holbrook (1864-2021), with a huge motivation and going to the end proving to be very powerful witches, such as not hesitating a second in this fight, they defeated the witch with
Mako Kagari's katana and the explosion of the missile that was well compacted with the magic of all humanity helping sending energies to prevent the missile from exploding and with that was spreading magic around the world giving new hope for what is to come in the future. A new era of magic will begin, people are with faith in magic returning and are rooting a lot for the witches and that they can bring new hope to the world.
I think to myself, what a wonderful world...
