Lion's Pride

S.1 Chapter 25: The Witches' Downfall

The atmosphere was tense as we waited until the time the witches would arrive. The specialists and Phrixus soldiers had their weapons at the ready while the fairies of Alfea and the witches of Cloud Tower ready their magic. With the fairies in their fairy forms and Alastair and Tynan in their battle gear.

"All right, this is it! Hold your positions everyone! The stakes have never been higher!" Faragonda announced towards everyone. 

We all became tenser as the stomps of the creatures became more audible. The ground shaking slightly beneath our feet grew as they approached. The marching started to slow down at the gates as three thrones towered over the school. A Trix sat in each one. Everyone held their breath. Nobody moved, waiting to see who made the first attack.

"Attack." Icy ordered boredly and with a screech the creatures descended upon us.

Gathering my magic, I invoke a large amount on my hands before throwing it to the sky.

"Lion's Mane!" I yelled, the whole school being covered by my shield, which took form into the head of a lion as it let out a roar.

Some flying creatures flew towards it, aiming towards the people. Crashing into it, the creatures started to burn to ashes. The creatures continued crashing into it with no regard to their well-being or their fallen brethren before maniacal laughter was heard from Stormy.

"Does that kitty really think that her silly barrier can stop us?" The weather-witch asked with amusement.

Standing up from her throne, Stormy invoked the strength of the Dragon making the being roar behind her. Feeling a rush of heat through my body, I strengthen the shield waiting for the next attack. The weather-witch raised her hands to the air and a giant lightning bolt hit the barrier causing the ground to shake as the barrier took the hit. The people screamed in fright preparing for it to break down just to see it still standing as it let out a roar towards the witches.

"What?!" The witches growled in anger as they turned their glares towards me.

"How is this possible?!" Icy growled out with rage as I glared back at her.

"The Lions are as strong as the Dragon!" Faragonda exclaimed relieved making the people at Alfea cheer.

"But she's still outnumbered. We must back her up." Griffin stated.

"You really did that?" Stella asked amazed. 

"I was getting mad that they kept calling me a mediocre cat." I replied with a smirk lining my features.

"Now we might be able to win this in terms of power." Tecna stated getting cheers from the girls.

"You got it coming you evil witches!" Musa yelled taunting the witches making them growl in anger.

Reeling her arm back, Flora gathered her magic in her hand before she put it in front of her gently blowing the magic towards Stormy. It flew towards the weather-witch causing her to extend her hand and catch it. Inspecting it, she just flicks it off her fingers with a 'yucko' making Flora glare in frustration.

As the creature army moved forward, they kept touching my shield causing them to burn up into ashes. Seeing this, the Trix used their powers of the Dragon sending attack after attack. The ground shook as impact was made, though my shield kept strong. Taking this as a sign, we shot our powers from a distance while the specialist used long-range weapons along with the Phrixus soldiers, taking down creatures. 

Materializing three beams of light across the front of the school, I throw them towards the witches. They take the hit as bright light engulfed them. They let out screams of shock as the light deems down.
