Chapter 10: Prelude to Finale
It was a dark night. 'What's happening down there?' Inferno asked. 'The aliens are attacking... It seems like a full invasion. Could this be happening to every town?' Elliot observed. 'Yes. It is.' Astral confirmed. 'How do you know?' Inferno asked. 'I have a spell called "All Seeing Eye". It allows me to see what's going on in different places, but only if I've been there.' Astral explained. 'This is terrible. We have to get to Dark. Fast.' Jamie said. Astral sped up. Soon they were hovering close to Hotlands. 'No way. The volcano is-' Was all Inferno could say before the volcano erupted. A hot stream of lava poured from the volcano. Astral carefully steered past the volcano.
Soon they were close. The Locket's light was glowing, its compass needle was pointing dead straight. 'We're almost there.' Astral announced. Suddenly, many red beams shot at Astral's star, making it shatter and disappear. 'Water Shot!' Jamie shouted as he shot the aliens that took down the star with a water shot. 'How'd you find them?' Inferno asked. 'I looked at the trajectory of the beams as I backflipped off as soon as the lasers hit. 'Can you summon another star, Astral?' Scarlet asked. 'Those lasers disabled that spell for a few hours.' Astral explained. 'No time to talk. We have company.' Scarlet said. Many aliens, beasts, slimes, weird creatures alike, all standing in front of the six. The six somehow coordinated their attacks. Jamie pushed through them with a quick barrage of slashes and a hurricane, while the rest either fought the aliens head on, or provided aerial support. The plan was working well. Spectre backflipped and stabbed a beast in its head using her aura. Astral used her stars to take down bunches of aliens. Elliot used his vines to kill many aliens. Scarlet used her weapon to slice through many of the horde. Jamie looked at his locket. It was shining brighter than ever. Astral noticed the light and shouted, 'You guys go on! We'll face this mob!'. Inferno, Jamie and Elliot raced past the mob, while Scarlet distracted it by using her charming ability, while Spectre and Astral attacked with aura and rainbow lightning. 'Grab my hand!' Jamie said to the two. He sped up as he caught Elliot and Inferno's hands. 'The locket shone with a bright light capable of blinding people. There they saw it. A spaceship. It looked like a U.F.O, the thing they were taught about as the Alien leader's ship. There was no mistake. Dark was in there. Suddenly, black beams shot at them, but Jamie dodged them with ease. The door to the ship opened. Four important looking aliens walked out. The Three prepared for battle. But they dropped their guard after they saw the four aliens getting launched in the direction of the mob. But another alien walked out. Its figure, its shadow. It was Dark. Dark jumped down, his spaceship flying away. 'It's you again.' Dark sneered, 'You think I was trying my best when I fought you three?'. The four stood there for a bit. Then, suddenly. Inferno ran at Dark. Dark chuckled to himself. He raised his hand again, and the same portal appeared in front of Inferno. But Inferno was ready. Inferno already had his Magma Hound activated. He sliced the portal and kept running. 'Flame Accel!' He shouted. Jamie and Elliot made their moves. Elliot took out his Brave Axe while Jamie sped towards Dark. Dark dodged Jamie's attack, and delivered a knee into Jamie's chest, flinging him backwards. Dark evaded Inferno's slash and delivered a powerful blast of dark energy to Inferno's chest. Elliot ran towards Dark. Elliot tried to slash the King of Aliens, but his attack missed. Dark punched Elliot's stomach. Elliot lost grip of his axe. Dark raised his claws to deliver a finishing blow, but something ran between them.Chapter 11: Sacrifice
It was Sasha. She intercepted Dark's blow with her body. Elliot grabbed her body and his weapon and leapt back. 'Why would you do that, Sasha?' Elliot asked, tears forming in his eyes. 'I told you not to underestimate me...' Sasha said weakly, coughing blood. Her wound was deep. 'I want to give you this.' Sasha said, her voice a rasp. Sasha's hand touched Elliot's. Elliot felt refreshed. 'Sasha! You could have lived! Why?' Elliot questioned. 'I always... Wanted... To be noticed... By my idol...' Was what she could cough out before her eyes closed. Elliot could feel the energy draining from her. Elliot put Sasha down, picked up his weapon and stood up. He wouldn't let Sasha's sacrifice be in vain. Elliot ran towards Dark again. 'Nature Blast!' Elliot shouted as a green energy beam appeared in front of him. Dark put up his arms to defend against the attack, but didn't notice Inferno and Jamie behind him. Inferno slashed Dark's back, while Jamie slashed Dark's legs. Suddenly, Dark teleported. Jamie and Inferno stepped back to avoid the blast. 'Impossible. How can he teleport without a portal? I only heard myths about that kind of stuff!' Inferno asked. 'Elliot, the person behind you, is that...' Jamie said, worried. Elliot gave a mute nod. Dark reappeared, but the three noticed something. His claws were gone. 'I didn't think I would have to use my claws' ultimate function. Teleportation.' Dark explained, 'Let me tell you something, puny humans. Did you know that those claws held back my power?'. Dark suddenly shot many beams. Inferno and Elliot were hit while Jamie managed to dodge a bit before also getting hit. 'It's over. Give up.' Dark said, dead serious. A black orb appeared in Dark's hand. 'Goodbye.' Dark said as he shot the orb at the three.
The three were knocked unconscious. Close to death, even. Their life flashed before their eyes. 'Mom, can I play with the other kids?' Little Jamie asked. 'No. Focus on your training.' His dad said sternly. 'But...' Little Jamie began. 'I said focus on your damn training!' His dad shouted. 'Alright...' Little Jamie said quietly as he sulked back outside. 'What's happening?' Little Inferno asked his mom. 'The aliens are attacking!' A scared man shouted. The ground shook. The Bunker's roof was prized clean off. People were already praying, accepting their fate. Suddenly, a dragon appeared. It was white with golden eyes. It burnt and crunched the aliens out of existence. 'Thank you dragon!' People shouted. Some people feared it would eat them next. But It left the people alone, and flew away. 'Watch out Elliot!' Elliot's mom shouted as she jumped between Little Elliot and a spike. Little Elliot turned. He saw the town burning. His mom was bleeding. She couldn't be saved.
'I don't care who you are, just get in your room!' The old nun spat at Elliot. 'Hey, are you alright?' The other kid asked, 'What made you come to this orphanage?'. 'My mother died to save me and my father abandoned me.' Elliot said, tears streaming from his eyes, 'I swear... I'll avenge them.'.
