13: Battle for the world's sake: End of a nightmare

M:

Everyone turned their heads to the sky, blanching at the projectiles and tornado heading right for them. Ora howled and created a blue forcefield around the group, stopping the projectiles from hitting their targets, though they left behind a few cracks in the magical shield.

Empyr drew a few runes in the air and launched them toward the tornado with a blast of his fire. The whirlwind diminished in size but remained in power, still making its way toward everyone.

Mandara and MA hugged each other for protection from the raging winds, their faces full of fear. They knew that the spirits wouldn't be able to hold out for long, they were already exhausted from the war with the undead soldiers and couldn't regain energy as fast as they would in the spirit realm.

"Hatter, what do we do?" Mandara asked fearfully.

C:

Hatter gave no response but didn't keep quiet. He plotted a possible way to defeat the immortal girl who had completely lost her marbles. He slashed his forearm, dipped his fingertips in his own blood and began to write down ancient symbols and runes. He wanted to enhance the shielding spell, it was the others' last protection.

-"Jhac yalp..." (stay calm) he muttered over and over. It was more to convince himself to do so since he knew it was impossible to tell someone to stay calm in such a situation, they'll simply freak out more.

He made an effort to create a more durable twin of himself. His eyes wandered to meet everyone else's gaze.

-"I want you all to head to safety. Run, float, fly, as FAR away from here as possible, return to the estate if you can. The shielding spells can be carried while walking, my clone will help you to maintain it. I will need some help to make a dome wide enough to contain all the battle's wrath within some lines, it's not supposed to get out of hand, I do not intend for that rampaging spawn of Satan to approach inhabited areas." His stare shifted from one person to another as he spoke.

"Mandara, Ma ... could you please do me a favor?" He asked, not really expecting them to respond. "If I don't make it out alive ..." He swallowed the saliva that filled his mouth before continuing." Tell the kid I'm sorry."

He rose to his feet, then slowly began exiting the magic shelter.

M:

"I think not," Empyr declared, "this is our world, Mr. Hatter, it is our duty to protect it as long as we exist, if you're facing that demon then we will too."

"Not all of us," Mandoria said, turning to his sons, "you two will go with the clone to safety."

"But Father-" MA started but Mandoria interrupted him.

"I am not asking Derogan, you two have completed your quest to save Poldara, your fight is over, so we will finish ours."

MA and Mandara stared at their father for a long time, then relented and hugged him goodbye. The two left with the Hatter double while the three spirits stayed with the original Hatter. They all looked to each other and a silent agreement was made, they had to do something extremely dangerous and could end up killing them, but the fate of the world, perhaps the universe, was in their hands and it was a risk they were willing to take.

Mandoria transformed into his eagle form and he touched his wing with the paws of his fellow spirits. They glowed extremely brightly until they were consumed by a massive white orb after a few seconds the orb grew even larger until it faded away, revealing a gigantic griffon-like creature standing in place of the three entities, they fused into the most powerful creature in their universe.

C:

The transformation attracted Umbra's attention, she raised a brow intrigued by the sudden flash of light. The strong smell of magic made her lightly shiver in excitement.
