Three Houses Saga: White Clouds

Consuming the Darkness

< Third-Person POV >

The Demonic Beast collapses as a result of the Gambit Boost between Ai, Sakura, Caspar and Dedue.

"Yeah! Right makes might, right?" Caspar raised his fist to the sky in victory.

"That is not how that saying goes." Dedue tells him.

"Yeah, ha ha..." Sakura laughs a little as Caspar brushes them off.

"Hoo... that's one Beast down." Ai let out a sigh as she turned to see the rest of their enemies grouping up.

"If this takes too long, I might be forced to escape. Oh, or do you simply intend to let me go? How accommodating of you! As for me, I intend to kill you all." Kronya teased the group from her side of the battlefield.

"Urggghhh, out of my way!" Saki roars as she sends a soldier flying with a kick.

"You mind if I join ya?" Caspar punches out the one next to her.

"Heh, not at all! But save Krony or whatever for me!" Saki bumped fists with him as the two hopped into the fray, going all out.

"Ack, too many!" Sakura lets out as she's crowded by enemy soldiers.

"RAAAAAAAHHH!!" Tae bellows out as she charges straight into them, going wild to protect her friend.

"Thanks Tae, hey Professor!" Sakura calls out to her instructor and runs up to him, "Let's take down Kronya together!"

"You know I'm there with ya!" Saki yelled towards them as she hits a baddie into Caspar, who knocks them down with an axe.

"As am I, it's all our fight. For your father's sake." Ai walked up to Byleth next.

Byleth's eyes widen before he nods and unleashes the Sword of the Creator upon the opposing army. Kronya gulps and lowers her eyebrows before she is then attacked from the left by Leonie.

"Monica. You'll pay for what you've done." The orange-haired apprentice scowled.

"I told you! I am not Monica, I am Kronya! Do not call me by that fake name!" Monica shot back at her.

"I don't care what you're called. I don't care if it takes my last breath. I'll kill you." Leonie grips her lance andreadies her horse for a charging attack.

"Please! My powers are beyond your comprehension. You're just a filthy worm!" Kronya dodges and slashes Leonie in the back with her weapon.

"Argh!" She cried out in pain as Zombies 1-3 arrived with Byleth.

"Stand down for now, Leonie. Go see Mercedes to fix that wound." Her teacher told the young woman as her older classmate ushers her away.

"Don't worry Leonie, the Professor will take care of her." Mercedes said as she healed Leonie's wound.

"And we've got his back, right you two?" Saki asked Ai and Sakura who nodded.

"You'll pay for what you've done to Jeralt!" Ai fires two arrows at the pale assassin, who swiftly dodges.

Sakura then chucks her throwing spear at Kronya, but that misses her too.

"How cute, you're trying so hard! But now it's time to die!" She then flipped over Saki and slashed at her side.

"Gah..." The biker girl then turned around to swing at Kronya, who just grabbed her arm and countered with a kick.

Unfortunately Saki's hand had been removed and Kronya is still holding it.

"What... you aren't... what are you?!" She shuddered as she was frozen in place.

"I could ask you the same thing, bitch, hey Teach!" Saki signaled Byleth.
