Fairy Land Arc part 11, Catharsis
Hipping giddily from hoof to hoof of his stag-like legs, Oberon ceased his giddy hopping and stood up on a floating piece of land. He had seen the rampage of William with great interest, and was giddy with glee as he watched the Salamander Wyrm plow through the walls and forests towards the Palace tree. Oberon eagerly watched from afar to see his sister had gotten involved, the millennia old Fae couldn't help but giggle with satisfaction as he witnessed the battles going on all around Fairyland.
Oberon inhaled deeply while grasping at the sides of his face with an ecstatic look in his eyes, "Yeeeessss!" He rejoiced to himself as his eyes became strained bloodshot; The burning, the destruction, the fear, the chaos, this what he had missed through the boredom. Oberon leaned his body backwards at his waist into a ninety degree angle, gravity seemingly having no effect on him leaning back in such a manner.
The 'Royal' fae's eyes rolled up with nothing but the whites of his eyes to show, before the Fae inhaled deeply once again while closing his eyes. It was all too easy, it was all just too easy; If Oberon played his cards right, he could work on an idea to spin this chaotic mess to a real party in his mind. "It's almost perfect…" he wistfully spoke with a demented grin across his face, his eyes were still closed and his posture was still bent at a bizzare angle.
A peculiar sound of fire igniting behind Oberon had him slowly open his eyes up in curiosity, standing over the Fae was someone he swore shouldn't look in his prime; Before the fae could react in time, or even teleport out of reflex, the man that stood over him grabbed him by the throat, "Allow me to help" Spoke Balthazar with a manically evil grin and disturbingly calm but gruff tone, fire had spewed from his lips after every word the Elder Uno worded out.
Oberon began to panic as he couldn't seem to teleport himself out of Balthazar's grip that began to squeeze into a tight grip, the elder Uno pulled the Fae up into the air while Oberon desperately tried to pry the hand off his throat. With how Balthazar had grabbed him and pulled him up into the air, Oberon's legs were up in the air as the Elder Uno brought the Fae up through the air. As Balthazar brought the Fae up above him, somehow seemingly keeping Oberon above the Uno's head while holding the Fae by the neck, Balthazar ignited his arm with flames and covered Oberon with searing hot fire.
The Millennia old Fae let out shrieks of excruciating pain as he kicked his stag-like legs, Balthazar let out a grunt as he threw the flame-covered Oberon down to the burnt grounds below. The Fae howls of pain echoed as his body careened through the air, before finally impacting the ground below with a mighty 'thoom' of Tremor and quakes. The impact of Oberon's body created a sizable crater, with the Fae's body now dowsed of the flames from getting put out from the ongoing rainstorm that's now encompassed the entirety of Fairyland.
Oberon's eyes were wide open with an unfocused gazed, his mouth was opened with a breathless cry of pain. The Fae shakingling brought his hand up to soothe the fresh burn marks on his throat, before his lips curled into a nasty snarl of hate. Oberon's eyes glinted with malic, 'That, that hurt, that insignificant human!' The millennia old Fae screamed in his mind while he rolled over and picked himself off the ground, Oberon heaved as he pushed up off the ground to stand up.
As the Fae stumbled a bit backwards to stand up, Oberon gnashed his teeth as he looked around for the elder Uno. "I'LL MAKE YOU REGRET THAT!" he yelled into the air as he felt the air around him heat up, prompting the Fae to blip out of sight and teleport from the area he once stood at, which immediately after, exploded with fire.
Oberon popped back into existence atop a branch of a nearby enormous tree riddled with embers on parts of its woody exterior, the Fae's eyes strained maniacally open with a seething glare. "HAH, NICE TR-'gurk'." He managed to get out to say, before one of the smoking embers that was near him, exploded in flames. From out of the fire, Balthazar had teleported out with a searing arm clothesliner into Oberon's throat with a loud sizzling thwack; The impact sent the Fae hurtling through the air with his body alight with fire once again, towards another tree with a loud whoosh and crash once Oberon collided into the nearby enormous tree.
Oberon's body was doused again by the torrential rain, but the Fae grounded his teeth as he began to let out an angry yell of anger. Pulling himself out of the dent he made into the tree he collided into, Oberon's eyes became bloodshot has he seethed at his predicament. The Millennia old Fae blipped out of existence once again to avoid an incoming attack, Balthazar had lit and sent a blazing boulder hurtling where the Fae was with a loud crack of wood upon the boulder's impact.
Some good distance away, Oberon was blipping in and out of existence as he teleported himself through the Fairy forest. Once the Fae believed he was far away enough, Oberon ceased his teleporting and now stood some distance away from the leftover trail of Wayne's Tank that had driven further in towards the Fairy Tree Palace; Sounds of cannons and battles could be heard in the distance in the direction towards the Palace Tree, rain continued to pour over the lands from the dark clouds hanging in the sky. The millennia old Fae gulped down some much needed breath as his chest heaved in and out, never in his existence had he needed to utilize his teleportation so often…
Oberon turned around to face where he 'ran' from, the Fae snarled with an annoyed and crazed expression. "Arrogance! Don't you know who I am!?" Oberon yelled into the air with a manic grin, the Fae held his hands out at chest level with his palms facing up. Oberon began to shake with glee as his fingers twitched through the air, "I CREATED THE MAN YOU ARE NOW! YOU SHOULD BE THANKING ME." He yelled out with spittle flying from his mouth as his expression became hysterical.
From one of the nearby enormous Fairy Trees that had smoking embers on the bark, fire erupted in a burst of explosion, before Balthazar could be seen walking straight out of the embers and flames with a strained expression of anger. Oberon began to laugh at Balthazar once the Elder Uno stood some distance away from the Fae.
The elder Uno grinded his teeth while clenching his fists, his gaze was filled with nothing but vengeance towards Oberon. "You Created Nothing but a vengeful husband and father, you piece of pixie dust little shit!" Balthazar spat back while he brought his fists up, dark crimson flames ignited around the man's fists.
Oberon's expression became hysterical and annoyed, "You were lucky with those few attacks, but you're nothing compared to me!" The Fae shrieked with a manic grin, and clawed at his own face with his nails drawing out a light green hue of his blood. "I AM OBERON, YOU ARE NOTHING, I AM THE KING OF TRICKS, YOU ARE NAUGHT BUT A HUMAN WITH SOME TEMPER TANTRUM FIRE!" Oberon yelled hysterically out towards Balthazar, the Fae's eyes became intensely strained as he gripped the sides of his face.
Balthazar pointed out at Oberon with his finger, the hand still aflame with his fire. "You are nothing but a stain, you overgrown pixie duster." He seethed out with flames pouring out his mouth at every word he spoke. "My vengeance demands it, your death will end by my hands!" The Elder Uno declared with a deep baritone voice that began to echo at the end, throughout the woods.
Guffawing at the man's declaration, Oberon's facial cheeks strained as he made a wide crazed smile. "You wouldn't be the first to try…" he softly spoke, blood continued to drip from his face as he dragged his fingers down his face. Without another word spoken between the two, Oberon blipped out of sight again.
With a mighty shout of anger from Balthazar as he threw a rope of fire from out of his palm towards where Oberon once stood, the fire rope wrapped around a small group of rapidly dissipating motes of tiny lights left in the wake of the Fae's teleportation. Balthazar yanked the rope made of flames from his palm, and pulled out a shocked Oberon. "Get over here!" The Elder Uno demanded as the rope pulled the Millennia old Fae around the waist, the flames seared Oberon's skin through his burnt clothes.
Oberon released a shrill of pain as he was thrown around by Balthazar, before getting tossed through the air once the man released the fire rope. The Fae went careening through the air as the rope of fire around his waist dissipated, burn marks marred his skin as Oberon flew through the air.
As the Millennia old Fae screamed from the pain while he continued to 'soar' through the air, a comet of fire flew over Oberon and descended down onto the Faery with a fiery explosion once it crashed into the ground with Oberon within the epicenter. Black and cloudy smoke erupted from the impact, before the storm cast the smoke aside to show Balthazar with his knee in Oberon's chest.
The Fae curled his lips with anger as he gripped at the offending knee on his chest, "Insignificant Human, none of this is entertaining, you weren't supposed to be involved!" Oberon spat out with a curl of his lips in disdain. "You're kind are naught pitiful beings, short lived lives, scurrying around like insects!" The fae grounded out through his teeth with a manic grin.
Balthazar swiftly punched fist into the Fae's cheek with his fist engulfed in fire, "HUMANS ARE NOT YOUR ENTERTAINMENT!" He raged out with his reverberating throughout the area, the man punched Oberon again in the other cheek with his other fist covered in fire. "MY FAMILY WAS NOT YOURS TO TOY WITH!" Balthazar continued to rage at Oberon's face who had a dazed expression, spittle flying into the Fae's face from the man's anger towards the prankster.
Just as Balthazar was making a grab for Oberon's head with his hands engulfed in flames, the Fae's expression became maniacally livid as he stared up at the elder Uno and blipped out existence. "Humanity's enthrallment to the whims of the Fae is kindness, but not for you." Oberon spoke throughout the area, his voice cackled hysterically with laughter.
Balthazar, now up on his feet, began to tremble with anger before he became covered in his silhouette, he lashed out with his arm aflame towards the dissipating motes of light where Oberon once was; Balthazar yanked out the Fae through the motes of light with an angered snarl, Oberon gasped out a shocked gurgle as the elder Uno gripped him by the neck. "What, how?" The Fae choked out, "How can a pathetic human do this?" Oberon wheezed out through the choking vice grip, the Millennia old Fae clawed at Balthazar's hand as the man held him up.
The man known as Grandfather so many ages ago simply grinned maniacally evil up at Oberon as he lit the Fae up in flames within his grip, "Don't be so surprised you little pixie shit!" He declared before releasing an evil cackle of laughter.
Oberon responded with a smirk right back, before snapping his fingers. With a loud crack of air where he once was, Balthazar now held up a seething anthropomorphic Daoine Sidhe boar. The Elderly Uno stopped laughing and lit the squealing 'pig' aflame, "I'm in no mood for bacon." Balthazar grumpily remarked while he threw the aging and burning Daoine Sidhe aside, the man dissipated his silhouette away.
The Elderly Uno glanced around with his yellow eyes, the man now stood on the leftover trail of destruction Wayne's Tank had left behind. Balthazar felt no satisfaction in the thought of simply aging the cretin to death, no, he wanted to savor every howling scream of pain Oberon would let out as he burned and seared the flesh of that despicable Fae.
The sound of trees being felled and stone cracking brought Balthazar's attention to turn towards the direction the Tank had driven from, explosions could be heard along with the sounds of artillery somehow. The only logical thought that ran through Balthazar's mind were teenagers that haven't been enthralled yet, and were utilizing…well, he supposed something good does come out of the KND, 2x4 technology runs on something he still couldn't understand.
Balthazar noticed a pricking feeling in his mind, four adults of peculiar backgrounds were headed his way...three Spank Happy Vampires...and...oh...
The Elderly Uno grinned a wicked grin, "How long has it been...Julius?" Balthazar cackled gruffly, his time was limited to be in his Prime once again, but he had time to address some longtime…acquaintances.
"Mr. Uno. I see that the KND did not take away most of your powers then." Julius nodded as he looked at the damage he did to Oberon, "Oh and you are fighting that fairy too. You did what everyone in the supernatural community wanted to do to that shitstain."
Balthazar simply grunted with spite in his breath, "Yes, and it was only after the 'decommissioning' that I found out the one that pulled the strings of my Wife's disappearance." He spat with anger, his eyes lit with fire as he thought back to how he felt back then.
"Hello Oberon. I see that you never changed at all." Mariska glared at the Fae who nearly took away her sons, "I am going to enjoy what will happen next to you, you rat."
Balthazar swiveled around as he looked in the direction Mariska was looking, his lips sneered in distasteful hate.
Up above within the Massive Trees on one of the branches, the air shimmered until Oberon could be seen standing with his arms crossed and an annoyed look on his face. "You…how…" he asked with seething anger.
"Oh, you pathetic little rat. You keep forgetting that we're not the usual humans you victimize for your entertainment. Now that you crossed us again, we're going to make sure that there won't be a repeat after this." Mariska's voice is filled with venom as a cloud of iron dust started to manifest behind her.
Oberon cackled maniacally and pointed in the direction they came from, "You sure you wanna focus on me?" He asked with an insane grin.
There was no answer to Oberon's question. Instead, a spear made of iron dust formed and shot at Oberon at the speed of sound. Oberon did not see it coming as it hit him in the head and caused him to lose focus and fall down the tree. The iron that hit his face was no ordinary iron. It was made to make sure that the fairy that will be hit by it will not be able to fight back as it takes away their powers and strength.
"You're right, we should be looking for our foolish son. Silly me. Perhaps Mr. Uno can keep you company, yes?" Mariska said in a faux innocent manner.
"We'll be off to our true business, Mr. Uno. Have fun with your friend over there." Julius said with a cheer as the two left the scene while eyeing Oberon dirtily one last time before they ran towards Wayne's path of destruction.
Oberon groaned in agony as he writhed on the ground, but the Fae simply lifted his head up to look at Balthazar with a manic smile. "Well, what's gonna be?" He asked with a cackle, "Your grandson unleashed the Daoine Sidhe, like Grandfather, like Son, Like grandson!" Oberon laughed hysterically at Balthazar.
Balthazar ceased looking at Oberon and frowned as he turned around, he could see what looked to be Daoine Sidhe further off in the distance. The more violent and hateful species of Fae…
…Oberon…that pissant Fae Garbage!
Balthazar's eyes widened in understanding and glanced towards the direction where he could feel his grandson's hate, the Elderly Uno snarled as he began to piece together the full scope of Oberon's plans that culminated in all this…"All for some sick entertainment at our expense!" Balthazar spat out with flames spilling out from his lips at each word he spoke.
The elder Uno glanced over at the adults as they headed off, however something on him buzzed like a phone. Balthazar pulled one of those new finagled phones he's heard so much about, the man pressed the screen that had a green circle that said 'pick up'.
"Mr. Uno, this is Wayne. I see that you're with that rat right now. Would you like me to shell the little creep with iron bombs?" Wayne said through the phone in a hateful tone as he referred to Oberon.
Oberon, still writhing in pain on the ground, craned his head up with a hateful gaze at the adults. "Don't you dare you insects!" The Fae hissed out. "I AM THE DUKE OF FAE, YOU THINK SOME MEASLY HUMAN WEAPON CAN HARM ME!" Oberon yelled out with a crazed look, his eyes were bloodshot with anger.
"Do I hear the sound of a squeaking rat with wings in the background?" Wayne did not care about the titles of Oberon when he shouted, "And that's a cute declaration… still shelling you though if Mr. Uno tells me to do it."
Balthazar cackled with delight and began backing away, "Do it!" He declared with excitement to see the Fae get shelled.
"With pleasure." Wayne was happy to oblige as the sound of multiple cannons were heard from afar.
Time seemed to slow down for Oberon as he desperately tried to claw away from his spot, this wasn't how things were supposed to pan out! He still wanted entertainment, he craved the feeling of humanity's woes. Oberon tried to scream in fright, just before the bombardment fell onto him.
The first shell came before Oberon could react. It caused a crater to appear and Oberon lay flat on the ground. Oberon tried to stand but a second shell fell on top of him, making the crater deeper and Oberon laying flat again, embedding lightly on the ground. He is struggling to stand but a third shell came in, causing an even deeper crater. Then the fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh shell came in order, making the hole deeper and deeper as it hit Oberon repeatedly. The only reason he was not torn apart by the explosion and weight is because he was strong but he was getting badly beaten by Wayne's constant barrage.
Oberon cackled and coughed with a green bloody lip, the fae layed spread eagle within the crater. "See…you humans…are nothing!" Oberon wheezed out as he tried to get up.
"Hmmm… still not enough." Wayne said while on the phone's speaker as more artillery fire was heard, "I'm really glad that you're durable, rat. Because I can use that against you. Time for round two."
The millennia old fae screamed with a hateful yell as another round of shells began shower down onto him, "MARK MY WORDS, I CURSE YOU AND EVERYONE YOU LOVE! YOU ARE NOTHING!" Oberon shrieked out.
"Big words coming from a powerless, punching bag of a rat." Wayne remarked as cannon fire was heard in his background.
Oberon's Hole grew deep as each shell Wayne sent caused the fae to be pushed deeper into the dirt he was lying on. The wings were now torn thanks to the constant barrage, its clothes were now in tatters. His body was badly beaten by the repeated fire and he couldn't recover thanks to being covered in iron residues.
Normally, a fairy would be able to get back to normal if kept away from iron. However, Wayne's constant shelling is doing something terrible to Oberon's physiology. His magical powers began to weaken as constant rain of iron kept on hitting the fairy. Each hit made his recovery longer, his magic less and his powers even smaller. Wayne knew of this as he read an experiment done by one fairy hunter who was able to depower a fairy permanently by constant and sudden exposure to iron. The fairy still lived but they have no powers and is now the fairy hunter's prisoner after she had tempted so many children to come with her to the fairy realm.
His use of the Super Tank's shells might be too much for one target but if it depowers Oberon for good, the shells were not wasted one bit. It was well spent in his eyes if it means that Oberon will no longer turn humanity into his personal plaything.
Within the smoldering iron filled crater, Oberon was riddled with wounds, bruises, burns, and his attire was shredded and burnt. The Far wheezed out in pain, painful welts swollen around his eyes. "Nothing…short-lived…insects…" Oberon softly spoke out with hate. Greenish blood dripped from his eyes and mouth, the Fae barely had strength to move.
"Huh… I made a new landmark in the Fairy Kingdom… neat." Wayne snickered on the phone as one of the drones flew by and saw the large hole where Oberon lay down, "Like what I said, big words from a depowered rat. Also… welcome to the world of being a mortal."
The last statement of Wayne caused Oberon's wings to finally fall off and crumble into dust and nothingness. It will never regenerate again for the rest of Oberon's lifetime. Wayne's laughter was heard as the sight of Oberon's loss of wings was seen by the drone overseeing the destruction of Oberon as a fairy.
Once the artillery shelling ceased, Balthazar strode over towards the edge of the crater to see Oberon. The Fae was left in a bloody mess, the Elderly Uno's mouth began to tremble with anger before he made a sneer at the millennia old Fae. "Enjoy how I felt." He spat with disdain, Balthazar clenched his fist with contained fury. "Powerless, like a bug." He remarked with a smirk of delight at Oberon's expense.
Balthazar brought his hand up and brought out his Crimson dark fire, it was too easy now…but the Elderly Uno still had lingering hate towards Oberon, and now here he was with the opportunity to seer and burn the flesh off of the pathetic Fae…
With an explosive boom of his flames, Balthazar had released a stream of fire from his hand into the crater. "Enjoy your last moments with burning agony!" The elder Uno spoke with an echoing baritone voice, the man's words carried off some distance throughout the forest as he burned Oberon with his vengeful fire. The only thing the Fae could do was open his mouth in a silent scream as his body began to burn.
Some distance away with the Adults, Ingrid turned around to glance in the direction of Balthazar. The Spank Happy Vampire tutted at the Uno, "A shame zhat man became who he was, he would haff been a good hunter of zhe supernatural." Ingrid mused with amusement and some of her accent spilling out.
As the Four Adults continued to make their way towards the direction of Wayne, Balthazar could be heard evilly laughing as he unleashed the fire down into the Crater where Oberon was.
Fairy Land Arc part 12, The Four Winged Butterfly Queen cometh soon
The Brocelind Walls have fallen, even with the assistance of Wayne's drones that Marianne had asked for. The Daoine Sidhe were hardier than the usual Fae, and the one that led the repulsive sub-species of Fae barely flinched when the Drones attacked with whatever caused to affect the ordinary fairies and injure them.
It was with due haste that the teens, that had once been atop the Brocelind walls, made a full retreat to the inner walls after Wayne had broadcasted the current goings on. The 2x4 technology the teens had managed to scrounge up through the kiddy stuff that had been laying around could only delay the stampeding Daoine Sidhe, it was with great fortune that the Fae had a penchant to have Go-karts and monster trucks for children to play and drive with.
Goes without saying, the Fae do not know the difference between what needed parental supervision, and what did not.
With some elbow grease from the Mech Boys that were available with Harold Coop, the teenagers were now mobilized on motorized playgrounds with giant tires and engines strapped into them. Through the use of 2x4 knd technology, the teenagers had weaponized mobile platforms to stall and impede any Daoine Sidhe that chased after them. Everyone needed to make it towards the palace tree within the central inner walls, and the trail of destruction left from William during his Salamander Wyrm rampage aided much in leading every teenager through the forests without the constant gimmick of Fae magic influencing their minds.
Over on one of the large mobile playground platforms with giant rolling monster truck wheels, slides were used as catapults with tires as counterweights and bungee cords for tension. The Teens that manned the weaponized slides would pull and take the gummy berries that hung low from the branches of the forests as the mobilized playground set drove under the branches; it was fortunate for them the berries had sticky goo inside of them, and would burst open when launched at a high enough velocity. So far that's what had been flying through the air with the sounds of 'whoosh' and splats, four slides were manned that periodically were cranked back to reload.
Underneath the mobilized playground were more teenagers manning Gatling Guns made from scraps of jungle gyms and monkey bars, railed catwalks lined from turret to turret with a Central platform at the middle. Bags of sticky honey balls and syrup were used as ammo, with Commandeered Fae, courtesy of Sir Bella Duval Winterhall Montgomery, flying in to aid in giving more bags of 'ammo'.
The teenager Captaining the mobilized playground was Sir Bella herself, she had her hands on her hips as she directed out orders. Bella glanced momentarily around at the other mobilized creations made by the Mech Boys, Harold's Division that was available had found a beat up school bus that was now being used by Stacey with Artillery cannons made out of trash cans that shot out bubblegum. Chad and Archie were above them now with flying dune-buggy karts, the airborne vehicles were fixed with jury-rigged fan propellers and toaster jets for propulsion. The two teenagers lead a sizable air force with all the dune-buggy karts that were laying around for kidnapped children to get distracted by.
Sir Bella Duval Winterhall Montgomery ceased her idle musing and turned to look at Marianne that was with her a few ways away on the mobilized playground set, the French Rebel Teenager was busy issuing out orders to her fellow frenchmen teenagers, already the girl was working on getting everyone coordinated to round up every teenager on the way…enthralled or not, they needed to make haste and head towards the inner wall and rendezvous with Wayne and his Tank.
Bella idly mused on the atrocious weather that had been kicking up recently as well, whatever it is that's going on, the point of origin the clouds had expanded out from was towards where the tallest of trees were. The Teenage girl of the Montgomery organization logically surmised something big was going on, if the rampaging Salamander Wyrm from earlier was of any indication. Whatever is going on, she was sure they'd all find out soon once they reached the supposed palace tree.
Up in the air with Chad and Archie, the two teenagers led two separate groups of flying jury-rigged vehicles; the buggy-karts and go-karts that were strewn about the land were enough to outfit a sizable retreating force, the vehicles that were made airborne were essential in keeping air superiority should the main forces of the Daoine Sidhe reach them.
"We got climbers inbound on left wing alpha!" Radioed in one of the teens through their 2x4 radios, jury-rigged home phones duct taped together to become headphones.
Chad put his hand up to his 'headphone' to respond back, "Copy that, begin counterattack when bogies are within range." He commanded out.
"Roger that!" Another teen radioed back for confirmation.
A loud boom echoed off in the distance just in the location that was spoken of, Chad peered his gaze towards the left and saw a cloud of smoke rise from a falling teen aircraft. "Those buggers are crafty, anyone mind picking me up?"
Chad was about to steer his jury-rigged buggy aircraft to assist his fellow teen, only for Harold's voice to pop in next through the comms. "One pick up coming in!" He radioed in.
Chad let out a sigh of relief, "What happened, how'd they get you?" He asked through his headset.
"Those buggers can hop from tree to tree pretty well, eyes up guys." His fellow teen responded.
To the far right in the air where Archie and his group of flyers were, Chad glanced up over to see the teenager had mobilized pieces of playgrounds to act as mobile flying anti-air platforms. Archie's group of flyers were essentially bombers that flew over the canopy of trees, that being said, he was high up due to the massive trees that were still around after the Salamander Wyrm's rampage. Occasionally Chad would see and hear weaponized syrup bombs exploding in the tree tops, he supposed those Daoine Sidhe were hopping everywhere, just not in force yet to overwhelm them…yet.
"Come git some scots muscle ye wee bastards, ah will tak' ye a' oan!" Archie could be heard saying through the radio.
Chad brought his hand up to ping back at Archie, "Everything alright up there?" He asked the Scottish teen.
After a momentary cackle of white noise from the radio comms, Archie responded back with the sounds of an ongoing fist fight. "bloody bastids, they hopped oan mah turf, 'bout to reck their shite!...Whit wis th' quaistion?" Archie asked through the sounds of a fight.
Chad sighed and responded back with amusement, "Just, just radio back if you need help." He answered.
"Gotcha, now who wants ta' face me next?! Come geh' a crack at this!" Archie yelled through a loud fist fight, prompting followed by the sight of a few small sized and bruised Daoine Sidhe falling down through the canopy of the trees.
Chad shook his head with an amused smile, least someone was making quick work of the less troublesome Fae creatures.
Palace Tree Grounds
Titania gnashed her teeth in anger as she fought against William, with a wave of her arm through the air, she created a cascade of flowing motes of pixie dust. The technique she conjured up flowed like water and was sent towards William like a torrential oceanic wave, the teenager responded in kind by lift his arms up and throwing out his hands like he had pushed up on something and thrown it at her attack. Sizzling fire that struggled to stay lit under the ongoing rain erupted and swept across the ground, William's attack was like a river of fire that collided into Titania's attack.
The resulting collision between the combatants' attacks bursts into a light filled mess into the air between them, Titania was soon seen flying through the motes of light leftover from the two's collision of attacks. The Fairy Queen had her feet situated in a way for her to launch a kick attack, and she did just that as she maneuvered her body to kick at the air towards William. From Titania's kick, she had kicked out a purplish ball of light at William.
"Crap!" William slipped out as he generated electricity around his hands, and as the ball was sent careening at him, the teenager attempted to smack the ball of light up into the air away from him while using his generated electricity to act as a buffer for him in touching the Queen's attack.
Titania allowed herself a satisfied crazed smirk when William attempted to counter her attack, her purplish ball of light cracked and popped into an explosion when William tried to spike it up into the air. The Queen continued to fly herself towards William with a follow up kick into his torso covered in a cloud leftover from the Teen's attempt to counter her attack, Titania's eyes widened however in shock as William grabbed her legs through the leftover cloud from the explosion.
The Teenager's arms and hands were reddish now from the failed attempt on William's part, Titania let out a squawk of indignation as William swung her around by her legs. With a mighty heave from William, he swung her down into the ground, before promptly lifting her back into the air to slam her into the ground again. Titania released a frustrated yell after she was slammed into the ground a second time, and allowed herself to eject several explosive purple orbs through her feet at William.
William was sent careening through the air from the onslaught of orbs, Titania quickly picked herself up to conjure up a salvo of blue orbs next that emitted cold air around them. William on the other hand righted himself to stop himself and land on his feet, the teenager plunged his hands into the ground to act as his brakes.
William pulled his hands up once he managed to stop himself, and looked towards Titania with his hands at the ready. The Fairy Queen was surrounded by a circle of floating ice orbs, the royal Fae was giving William a crazed smile as she held her hands aloft among her floating orbs. "It is by my hands that I shall give humanity happiness, you're just in the way!" She cowed in excitement as she began sending out her orbs through a flurry of movement of her arms.
Pulling more of his fire out as best as he could, William's arms lit up with a blue hue of flames while he projected a spear of fire in his hands. "Keep your pixie ass shit away from humanity, we can do just fine on our own!" He spat back while he primed himself ready to attack the orbs at a distance using his conjured up fire spear.
What followed next was William spinning his flaming spear around through the onslaught of orbs hurled at him, the distance allowed him to twist and weave through the waves of ice orbs sent by Titania. The explosions caused by the orbs after being hit by William would burst into snowflakes, the air around him became cold the more orbs he destroyed while advancing towards Titania.
Not accepting to be had in that moment, the Fairy Queen smirked in triumph as she began to weave in green orbs that exploded into twisting shrubbery that tied William up and allowed the rest of her orbs to cascade into the teenager.
"Had enough?" Titania lorded over the Teenager as she waltzed over a downed William, he was on his knees and hands while inhaling and exhaling deeply.
William looked up with a nasty grin, "Boom." He simply said, allowing Titania to widen her eyes as she realized her folly and attempted to escape, only for the entire area to erupt into a ball of lightning infused fiery explosion with William as the epicenter of the attack…for a lack of a better term.
As the cloud of dirt and dust settled from William's 'body' explosion, Titania could be seen on the ground face down groaning in pain while William was standing within the epicenter of the burnt circle he created from his 'attack'. The teenager smirked as he looked over at Titania, "Have you 'had enough'?" He shot back at her while resting his hands on his knees as he bent over from mild exhaustion.
Titania released a shriek of anger and pushed herself up off the ground, the fairy Queen spun around and faced William with a disheveled appearance. Her green-hued hair was now messed up with frayed ends, burn marks marred her face as she bit her lip in seething anger. "Misery, that's all you and your ilk of Aku is good for, only I can give humanity the happiness they need, whether they want it or not!" Titania shrieked while pointing a shaking finger at William.
William blinked momentarily, his mind reeled in at what Titania worded out. "Mind running that by me again, could've sworn you just said Aku." He asked with trepidation.
Titania relished the effect of what the tidbit of information caused in the teenager, she gave William a nasty grin of enjoyment. "Yes! You, and every ancestor of yours is marred by that despicable creature, saving Balthazar's wife was a kindness that I am proud of!" Titania cackled out with a smile.
William sneered at Titania with contempt, "No one asked you for help, did you even bother to think that maybe my grandpa needed my grandmother for a happy family!?" He asked with anger in his eyes.
Titania began to emit orbs of blue and white from her arms as she held her hands out aloft, she gave William a withering look. "Humanity never knows what they need, your family doesn't deserve happiness with that creature's blood still flowing within you lot!" She hissed out at William.
"I beg to differ you pompous Fae!" A voice echoed from above as a large piece of frozen branch fell onto Titania.
William let out and exhausted sigh once he saw the fairy queen get abruptly buried under a massive bratch, he looked up with a grateful smile. Standing atop a branch of asparagus vines, Giselle, Raab and Nesco were seen being lowered down, Giselle in particular had her fingertips covered in frost from the earlier attack of the frozen branch of the palace tree.
The three teenagers hopped down once Raab lowered the vines close enough through the weaving of his hands, Giselle walked calmly over towards William with a critical look. "So…" she spoke in a clipped tone, "Mind explaining the Salamander of fire, or is that some ability you just now came up with?" She questioned him with an accusatory look. "We saw the entire thing on our way down." Giselle added in.
William waved his hands in front of him negatively, he gave Giselle an embarrassed look. "It's new, and not something I'll be using on a whim, I barely even know how to activate the freaking thing!" He tried reasoning with Giselle.
Giselle sniffed haughtily and turned to face the massive frozen branch that had fallen onto the Fae Queen, "Well…don't expect me to go easy next time we fight." She remarked proudly, "Afterall all, Madame Céline is of the Aki line, your family branch is merely one of the ancient sisters that seeded evil for their evil 'god'!" She demurred, taking pleasure in glancing to see William's dumbfounded face.
Nesco looked between the two with her hands on her hips, "Bit out of the dark here, Aki who?" She snapped out impatiently.
William grumbled and massaged his head, "I think I know, at the same time, I don't know." He responded to Nesco.
"Oh dear, more branches to prune you say?" Titania's voice echoed out while the frozen branch shattered into fine white power of frozen splinters.
The four teenagers tensed up and backed away a bit as Titania began to float up into the air, her body began to glow bright green as she looked at the teenagers with colorful dark green compound eyes. An explosive force of wind was expelled from Titania as she had butterfly wings unfurl from her back, her eyes had a psychotic look in them as she smiled, "By my gracious hands, I will scour the Earth and wither every branch of Aku's vile and evil influence, not a child nor mother spared!" Titania giggled out with a melodious voice.
Acting on instinct alone, all four teenagers erected a wall of their own as Titania clapped her hand together in front of her. A green wave of pixie dust flowed and flew towards the four teens; William had hastily pulled up a wall of fire, Giselle stomped a wall of ice up, Raab manipulated into existence a wall of asparagus in front of Giselle's ice wall, and Nesco pulled out a throng of Broccoli to line up behind William's wall of fire.
The combined effort between the four allowed the impact of the Queen's attack to be lessoned once it plowed through the walls and crashed into the teenagers, everyone was soon sent careening over the ground until they all landed a good ways away. William had stabbed his hand into the ground to stop himself and grab for Giselle's hand to help her stop, Raab and Nesco shared a vine of asparagus between each other to get caught on a lone tree in the way.
As the teenagers collected themselves to defend and attack, Titania gently floated down and allowed her feet to touch the ground. A sizable circle of flowers grew where she stepped, Titania allowed herself a satisfied look as she looked over at the Teenagers. "I am the Queen of Fairies, and I will have my way!" She spoke soothingly and gleefully.
