Acts of Redemption

Take me away

Second flew by the stick figures like a lime colored lightining, hitting Chosen so hard on the chest that a impulse wave shook the ones on the ground to their very core.

The black stick flew backwards and hit a wall before using his fire fists to propel himself back into the battle, punching his target away from him before using another lazerbeam.

The two stick figures fist fought mid air, both equally powerful, equally fast.

His eyes became red once more, but this time the lazerbeam did no damage to the orange one who just retaliated with his own.

The red and the green beams of light hit in a explosion that destroyed a part of the castle.

Armed with their swords, the stick figures ran towards the castle, but King was prepare for them.

With a movement of his staff, a legion of brutes and wither skeletons spawned on their path already armed an ready to battle.

Blue grabbed his bow from his pouch and started shooting arrows at the incoming wave of mobs, the other four defending him with their own weapons as the creatures kept coming.

Second coming started throwing balls of light towards his target, Chosen managed to dodge one, two, three times before being hit on the face by one.

The black stick figure fell, hitting the ground in front of the others with a loud crackle of rocks and absolutely destroying a patch of mobs that once stood there.

But they didn't had time to help him, Second tackled him where he fell, grabbing him by the neck and throwing him away before flying out of their line of sight once more. 

Green and Red went to the right while Purple and Yellow went to the left, focusing on small groups of mobs while Blue manage the ones left behind.

With a roar, Second hit the black stick figure with a electric shock, which stopped the target's incoming lazerbeam at its source and made him fall to the floor once more.

With shaky legs threatening to give up under him, Chosen didn't quit. He flew back out and another fist fight begun, and finally he hit the orange  figure with a flamethrower attack, that got him to stop attacking for once.

Purple wasn't surprised that Second could match Chosen's intensity in battle. He just wasn't sure for how long they could keep that intensity going.

Green had the last slash, they managed to finish the entire horde of mobs towards them and they didn't lose time running into the castle.

Chosen had got himself in in a streak of attacks, hitting flame after flame on the orange figure, but Second didn't flinch just brute force his way into another lazerbeam.

Blue could see the battle from the windows of the castle.

The corridors were filled with brutes, who attacked without mercy.

Blue opened his pouch, throwing poison potions on the groups of enemies, not enough to kill them but it weakened them greatly, enough for a quick and easy killing.

It took them no time to reach the throne room. Where the King sat in his throne, no fear in his eyes and the staff in his grasp glowing bright white.

─ I was wrong to believe Second Coming was the only resilient one in this group. ─ He chuckled at them. ─ I'm impressed.

─ You're surrounded King. You lost. ─ Green growled at him, swords tightly gripped.

─ Give the staff back or you will die here.  ─ Red warned, giving a single step forward.

King looked at him for a moment, pretending to think about it. ─ No.

He hit the staff on the floor, spawning another group of brutes that immediately rushed into battle.

Red and Yellow ran straight for them, killing as many as they could, Red and Blue used bows and arrows more on the back of the room, keeping the ones that tried to sneak at bay.

Purple looked around at the massacre before him, using this moment to approach the throne as stealthy as he could, maybe he could take the staff force while he was distracted.

He didn't even gave a single step towards him before the king's gaze fell on him. A smile in his face like he just saw a old friend, as if he didn't noticed his presence before.

He did not care enough to notice before now.

And oh, that made Purple so unbelievably angry.

He scowled at him, grabbing one of the brutes golden axe and ran straight to the King.

A blinding light was the last thing Purple saw.

The others had to watch in shock as the king hit the stick figure with with a golden beam teleporting particles left where he once stand.

Then, the tall figure waved his staff afain, and all the brutes turned into dust leaving the group looking aroun confused.

─ What did you do to purple?? ─ Yellow frowned, stepping towards the King with his sword in hand.

─ Oh he's fine, I didn't hurt him. Just took him somewhere where he will not bother anyone.

─ bring him back now!! ─ Green shouted, ready to jump on the King but Blue held him back.

Through the window, Red watched as the chosen one was thrown side to side before falling to the floor below.

He managed to get up once again, but his knees buckled, he didn't had the energy to keep going, his attacks didn't do any damage anymore, there was no strength left in him.

He fell limp on the floor, Second flying above him looking rough and tired as well.

─ It's over King!  ─ Red smirk at the angry King. ─ Chosen is down, you're all alone now!

But at no moment the tall stick figure show any signs of remorse, or even fear. His staff went back to a golden light.

Blue scoffed at him. ─ You're not going to win this! What you're going to do? Face all of us at once?

A chuckle escaped the King. ─ No of course not.

─ But he is.

With a quick swing, the four stick figure flew through the wall, falling on the ground below.

Golden wall raised from the floor surrounded them in a golden dome.

Yellow looked up just in time to see the bright lime green eyes staring at them with uncontrollable anger.

The powerful stick figure growled loudly, like a animal ready to pounce.

─ S...Second..
