Geed; Legend Of The Magi

Chapter 21: Finally It Happens: Geed Vs Lord Kane!

CHAPTER 21: FINALLY IT HAPPENS: GEED VS LORD KANE!

The companions moved on. Geed appeared to be worried.

"What's wrong Geed?" Elaine asked.

"In another dream, Kane had captured the Sacred Creatures. I have this sickening feeling in my stomach" Geed said.

"Don't worry Geed, we'll save them" Damian said.

Soon the friends arrived at a dark and winding path leading to the Tower. Either side of the path was a never ending abyss.

"The path that leads to Kane. I've waited for this day my whole life. I'll finally have my revenge" Geed said angrily.

The friends walked on the path carefully. As they walked towards the Tower, the path behind them began to collapse.

"RUN!" Geed ordered.

Everyone began to run towards the other end of the path. Damian crossed, followed by Elaine, then Diane, then Taros, then Geed. As Alice was crossing, the path beneath her feet collapsed. Geed quickly leapt for her hand and caught her. He created a platform of wind beneath her feet and raised her to safety. Geed didn't want Alice to remain angry at him.

"Alice I..." he began.

"What?" Alice asked.

"Nothing, let's move on" Geed said.

Soon, they were at the Tower's Gates. Geed pushed the Gates, they opened.

"So this is where Darkmanner was sealed huh? Sure looks gloomy" Geed said.

"Welcome Geed, I've been expecting you" a voice said.

"KANE!" Geed roared.

"It's been quite long since we met in person right Geed?" Kane asked. "I hope this time you won't run" Kane said.

"The will of Dark, the will of One,

A Choice to make Geed you can't run"

Geed recalled.

"It has already began" Geed said.

"I don't know how many Sacred Creatures you battled to reach me but your quest ends here" Kane said.

"My promise to Canine will never be broken, not by you nor by Darkmanner" Geed said.

"Lord Darkmanner will be awakened today. You can't stop that from happening" Kane said.

"WATCH ME!" Geed said and pounced at Kane.

Kane disappeared and reappeared a few feet in front of Geed. You can't defeat me with sheer brute force" Kane said.

Suddenly, a faint light appeared above them. Geed saw Canine, Aerobis, Golem and Leviathan bound as in his dream.

"Kane you bastard! I'll never forgive you for this!" Geed said.

He pounced at Kane. Kane disappeared again but just as Kane was about to appear, Geed with amazing speed headed to where Kane was and landed a powerful punch. The impact of the punch caused a flash of light.

"How did you?" Kane asked.

"I've had a lot of teachers while you've been playing around. I've been learning from the monks" Geed said.

"You've indeed grown stronger, perhaps even stronger than your father" Kane said.

"So let us begin, COME!" Geed ordered.

Kane pounced at Geed. Geed pounced back and they clashed in midair. Kane knocked Geed with darkness and kept increasing its force. Geed responded by slashing Kane with Wind. Both of them fell down.

Geed spat out blood. Kane smiled in satisfaction. Diane raised a pile of rocks and hurled them at Kane. Kane stretched his hands towards the rocks and they turned into Sand and dropped to the ground. Elaine created a Water Dragon and ordered it to attack Kane. Kane dispelled that technique too. Damian slashed wildly but still, there was no effect. Even Alice's firepower was nothing.

Geed stood up, his legs were unstable.

"This is only just the beginning, you are weak" Kane said.

"I'm never going to give up" Geed said. "There's no way I'm going to lose to you!" Geed roared and charged at Kane.

He threw a blast of wind. Kane dodged. Geed recalculated and shot a beam of fire at Kane. The fire and wind fused creating a torrential flame stream that hit Kane and knocked him into the wall of the Tower. Geed took this opportunity and spun into the air shooting fireballs at the chains and locks binding the Sacred Creatures. The creatures now free charged at Kane, encircling him and thrashing wildly at him. In desperation, Kane released a Dark Five Point Seal. An energy beam illuminated the Dark Star on the ground and Darkmanner was unsealed!
