The Huntik team was teleported away by the mask warlock, that Apollon recognized him from his memories and dreams. He his thoughts. " It's nice to meet you again, Apollon."
Apollon froze in place. Flashes of memories run through his mind. The mask man walks forward." I'm not here to harm you. " slowly raise his hand out, "I want you to come with me. You are part of something much bigger than what paradise can ever give."
Apollon slash him with his sword, but it phased right through him. He kept slashing but it was useless. He was kicked back and caught by Lycaon. Lycaon warns him they can't be reckless. They need a plan. A Masked man appeared in front of them and held up Lycaon by his throat and stomped onto Apollon's face. he telepathically says, " He is right. Though im not here to play games." Flora constrains him with he spell, "Floral magic- rooted restraint", causing roots to rise and strangle his body and limbs. Forcing him to drop Lycaon, and loosen the pressure of his foot on Apollon's face. Helios casted a dragon breathe spell amplified by Nile's air circulation spell.. Scorching the warlock body forcing him to hyperjump back. As Lycaon regains his breath, he says. "Magic... magic is his weakness." Apollon had already reached out and pierced the mask man's chest with a light sword spell. "Then let's give him all we got"
The mask man laughs. "You couldn't even do the job right and strike me through my heart." He dissipate into thin air. Appearing from a portal a couple feet away looking completely unharmed. "I guess we can play a little game. If I defeat you I get to keep Apollon. If you defeat me I'll tell you what you want to know. Though I get three tries, I already wasted one"
Twilight comments, "You're fairly twisted to think of a game like that, but pretty fair. "Doesn't matter what games he created, we got to burn him down." Helios says.
Helios shoots a dragon breathe from his mouth.. The mask man invades the spell jumping through a portal. Apollon tells everyone to hurry and huddle around Lycaon. He has a plan.
The warlock cocked his head. Everyone scrambles to form a formation. Front row: Nile, Apollon, and Helios. Middle: Lycaon and fauna. Finally, in the back, were Khione, Twilight, and Flora. Fauna produced duplicate throwing daggers after Lycaon sent a barrage of them. The wind from the Nile increased the speed. The man with the mask shook his head. When the daggers went through him, he felt a strong electric current flow through him, which caused him to fall to the ground in agonizing pain. Roots tries to encircle him, but he jumps into a portal and teleport behind them with a sword
.Apollon and Helios was in hot pursuit of him. Apollon brandished his light swords and Helios sword was augmented by fire magic. They all attack aggressively until they discover a gap to strike him through. The mood swings of Apollon grew a little more unreasonable resulting in him being severely kicked bac, but Helios managed to burn the warlock's side. Making him drop to his knees. He is then caught entangled in flora roots and Twilight stone snakes. Khione forms ice spear to finish him off. Apollon already beat her to it as he stretched his light sword into his heart. Everyone turned to stare at Apollon, whose eyes are a vivid golden hue. All he can remember is the tragedy, tragedy cause by that monster. The mask warlock body disappeared
The warlock appeared again. He telepathically says. " Sadly this our last little play date for today. Let's make it count." Apollon in a will of revenge tries to attack, but Lycaon grabs his arm. Apollon aggressively pushes him back. Lycaon was in a state of shock. Apollon looks back at the confusion and pain in Lycaon's face that turns slowly into anger, " Fine go ahead, recklessly harm everyone and yourself to get your revenge. If that's all you care about!"
Apollon profusely apologized, " I'm so so sorry." He tries to see the bruise but Lycaon pulls away to get healed by Flora. Apollon looks around at everyone that were looking in a mix state of shock, worry, and disappointment. Helios break the cold silence. "Let's leave our emotions behind. We have a battle to win. Everybody gets in formation." Apollon and Helios rushes at him. Lycaon sends electricity through the ground. The mask mage knew and flew up to avoid the shock. He rained down a swarm of sharp daggers. Nile deflect them with a large circulation of wind. Fauna, Lycaon, and Khione counter with their attacks. Arrows, lightning imbued daggers, and icicle spears. As the massive range of attacks close in the number, He stretch his arms out. He signs," Space magic - gravitational push." He send them flying back in greater velocity. Flora waved her wand in a circular motion, and casted her great sanctuary spell. Flora wave her wand in a crazy motions making large trees, roots and vines come crumbling out of the ground. Tossing huge chunks of earth and soil. "Floral magic- Nature's claim"
Khione sang a melodic spell, "song of the calm ocean waves," to calm Flora's mana enough to have further control. Nile saw it was bit cloudy and use his water accumulation in conjunction with his air circulation spell to further create rain. Bringing more moisture and life to Flora's spell. Creating a raging monstrous forest that makes it hard to counter by slash through, Forcing the mask men to repel them back with his gravitational push or evade through his portals.
As the battle carry on the mask warlock gets more exhausted. Apollon, Lycaon, Fauna, and Helios took advantage and put more pressure in well planned attacked.
He sent a massive gravitational push and pull force to flatten and uproot trees. Fauna notices that he has 10 to 20 sec intervals where he has to recharge his spell. Lycaon added that every spell is weaker than the previous. Helio and Apollon nods, that means we can strike him with one big blow. Lycaon says to stick with the plan. The mask man drops down and engage a great sword battle with the 4 of them. They were all having a hard time keeping up. being easily hit, kicked, or brushed back. The mask man was slowing down and growing weary, though. He is rendered blind by Apollon's flash, and Lycaon's taser paralyzes and numbs him. The plants outnumber the masked warlock. With her magically endowed sword, Fauna pierced him, but the only damage it did was pain. Everyone jumped back as Helio cast his spell. " fire cast- twin black blazing dragons. The warlock was engulf in a raging blaze of pitch black fire that is further fuels by the plants and the soft wind Nile applied from a far. Everyone took a sigh of relief.
The burned up masked man appeared behind flora through a portal to strike her. He was too slow as Apollon dashed across the field, you could miss it by just blinking. Apollon kicked the him so far back his body glided and skipped across the field. Lycaon and Fauna was almost just as fast to protect her. Apollon looked at the mask man trying to stand up, and get flashes of his memory not being able to at the moment of his lowest point. Apollon created a ball of light around his hands. Lycaon grabbed onto it adding lightning. " You don't have to go through it alone." Flora and Fauna gave Lycaon a little more mana. They both rush forward in a jet-like leap. Nile gives a massive air circulation behind them. Khione created an adrenaline rush with her melody. As Twilight made sure to hold the man in place with an origami serpent .As they both get close, the warlock was suddenly taken in the mouth of a black blazing dragon like he was hit by a fast moving train. Ending him with a boom on the far side of the field, The boys couldn't stop their movement and hit the ground. The impact of the spell pushed them back. Flora created one last large sanctuary spell for the battle . The attack was way larger than before again dwarfing Helios attack by 100 time the size like an extremely bright electric bomb. Destroying parts of some near by villages and even the 12 swordsmen residents.
Helios clutched his fist. Apollon looked at the destruction and face drench in madness. He looks back at Helios. He calmly ask why. Helios look straight at him. A burning rival rage filled his eyes, Just because were on the same team doesn't mean I'll be riding your coat tail. Lycaon sat up looking at him." you know that was important him." Helios was emotionless." so was it for all of us." Apollon lashes at him but Nile got in between them. Helios begins to faint. Apollon was about to attack him while down but Lycaon call his name. Lycaon almost falling over from mana exhaustion. Apollon catches him in time. Before anyone else can. The mask man is heard clapping through a portal. He telepathically speaks." It is finally nice to meet the new Huntik team." He look straight at Apollon." Maybe you aren't half as bad as your father's. What is your question?" Apollon took his time and asks, " Why his family? Why him?" The mask man answer it simply. " The only ones that can stop me is your family." The portal closes as the paladins and swordmen arrive. All Apollon wants now is revenge. To end and ruin the Mask man . To seek the Divine keys and become the legendary seeker.
