Pashiva The Archvil Saga

Downfall

Naytan readied Felren's sword with the sharpness shard and ran towards the door with all his speed with the sword pointing towards the door. Upon reaching the door Naytan stabbed the door with the sword slicing through it as if it was butter. ""Haha hey Felren I did it". Natyan said cheerfully. "Good (cough) now make a hole so you can get through the door, hurry we don't know what they're doing". Felren said. Naytan then started to make a circular incision in the doorway so he could get through. He was slicing through with enough effort for him to almost strain however his aura was fading away slowly. He then finished making a hole in the door and was about to crawl through. "Hey Naytan, you have a lot of God Shards right"? Felren asked. "Yeah". Naytan said while crawling through the door. "Be careful". Felren said.

At the top of the staircase Array was fighting the three swordsmen with katanas. The three were pushing forward as Array was being pushed back until she got her footing correct and swept the their legs with all of them losing their balance while Array took the time to stab one in the chest with her sword. One swordsman swung at her as Array parried while the other came at her as well. Array retaliated by kicking the other swordsman in the gut knocking him away and getting out of the parry and continuing her duel. The two were fighting as the one who was previously kicked came at Array from behind as Array turned to parry his attack then turned around again to parry the others. This cycle continued for most of the duel.

Back at the throne room Melat charged at Pensen with his strength shard abilities. He ran towards Pensen at a zig zag motion not allowing Pensen to accurately shoot him with his firework abilities. Melat eventually got close enough and threw an uppercut at Pensen's jaw knocking him off of his feet. Before landing Melat then kicked Pensen in the gut knocking him away through the wall into the room where the red cloaks met the night before. Pensen landed on top of the table as Melat charged in again with a loud battle cry. "AAAAAAAHHHHHH". Melat yelled as he jumped onto the table and somersaulted to Pensen. When Melat rolled onto his feet he leapt off of his feet and punched Pensen in the face knocking him upward. "ARG UGH". Pensen yelled. He fell off of the table in front of the exit out of the room. Before Melat ran to Pensen, Pensen predicted his move and rolled forward underneath the table so when Melat did run forward he missed Pensen and instead crashed through the door. Pensen then shot a large flare from behind Melat. Melat turned to see it coming as his expression showed panic. "Uhh". Melat reacted. "Hehe". Pensen said. Melat then ran to the left of the flare and Pensen ran into the room frantically shooting firework flares at the walls popping holes in all of them. Melat ran quickly past Pensen leaving him no time to react. By the time Pensen even had time to turn his head around Melat came the other way and knocked Pensen down into the hallway where the staircase leading to the first floor was. Melat ran straight for Pensen just as he jumped down the stairs away from Melat. Melat stopped himself from breaking through the wall just as his aura wore off as he ran down the stairs as Pensen did the same maneuver by leaving the corridor allowing Melat to crash into the wall. Melat's aura wore off not allowing him to break through the wall anyway as he was stopped by it, before he noticed Pensen right next to him, Pensen fired a barrage of firework flares at him. Melat was hit by two of them pinning against the wall as Pensen didn't stop. "Agh I got to figure a way out of this ah". Melat thought to himself in agony. Melat then held his wrists in front of him shielding his body allowing him to push forward and endure the pain. He eventually pushed his way forward and got close enough to Pensen and moved to his right slightly getting out of the fire flares way and punched Pensen in the head knocking him away as Melat followed it up with a kick in the gut knocking him even further. Pensen was pinned up against on of the doors on the first floor. The two took a quick break to catch their breaths. Pensen was bruised in the face and was a cracking his neck and back. Melat was badly burnt on his wrists with charcoal black marks on each of them, and three holes in his shirt where the fireworks hit. "Say, kid (pant), I think I figured it out. You claim to be that one pests son correct? Yes, yes hahahaha you're that brat Melat, you have quite the bounty in Archvil. You know with the bounty you have I'm surprised no one caught wind of you sooner. I cant believe the High Ranks didn't know, or maybe they knew and that's why they wanted you dead so much". Pensen deduced. "Well you're right about all of that. Except one part. The people probably did no about me and my bounty. It's just the fact that everyone here is so disgusted by your rule that they didn't bother turning me in. You're guards probably feel the same way when they didn't turn me in when I went to see my father. That's why I'm here in front of you right now. I'm here to dethrone you and whatever you plan on summoning. I don't know anything about Lords or Under Lords or politics or any of that stuff. All I know is that I need to beat you right now, so everyone can live a safer life not under your rule or some God's rule". Melat explained. "Hahahahahaha, so then this isn't about your father or that other pest. Then answer me one question. Who did you care for more, your father who you just met supposedly, or the other pest who you just watched die"? Pensen asked tauntingly. Melat's fist then scrunched up as his face turned to anger quickly. "His name was Vekliv, and my dad was a better man then you ever could achieve to become, GRRRR PENSEN". Melat yelled. Penen chuckled at Melat's anger as Melat began to run towards Pensen. Before even starting to run Pensen shot Melat with a firework flare into Melat's heart. "AAHHGGH". Melat yelled dropping himself to the floor writhing in agony. Pensen then walked toward Melat and noticed the satchel on his body. "I couldn't help but see your carrying around God Shards. Mind if I take one". Pensen said pulling out a shard. The shard was a black God Shard. Pensen then began to rub it on his hands as he grew a black aura around him. "Hahahaha, of all the shards to end up in my hands today, first a red cosmic shard, then an explosive shard haha, nothing you strived for went your way. Don't worry you'll be nothing very shortly". Pensen said to the pained Melat. Melat then struggled to get himself up to face Pensen again. He held his fists up to ready himself. Pensen let out a loud chuckle. He then shot a gust of air out of his hand as it the ground near Melat causing a small explosion knocking Melat away. "Hahaha, with this I'll kill you nice and slow". Pensen said firing another explosion.

Meanwhile on top of the staircase Array was against the metal railings with both swordsmen pushing her against it until Array decided to parry both attacks and go the way Naytan and Felren went and jump from the railings down to the bottom of the staircase. She jumped as did the swordsmen. She eventually reached the bottom and saw a poisoned Felren. "Felren get up I need you, we're about to have some company". Array yelled. "(Cough cough) I don't have a sword a crossbow wont work in close combat". Felren said. "Just use a God Shard on them then". Array replied. The two swordsmen came down the stairs ready to continue the fight. Soon the sound of an eerie rumbling sounded as the entire city felt like it would shake apart.

In the room with the red cloaks and Naytan, Naytan was on the ground badly burnt and poisoned by a purple mist let out by a red cloak. The other red cloaks were at a large stone pedestal with a hole leading up to the surface with sunlight shining down into the hole. Soon the sunlight faded away as the red cosmic shard on the pedestal began to shoot a large bright red beam out of it, out of the hole and into the sky. The red cloaks then began to chant in a very demonic sounding tongue. "A ver en so lo co mun strevantuzven Leach". The red cloaks chanted. "N n noo". Naytan said faintly. "I'm sorry, Felren, Array, Melat, Vekliv". Naytan said. "Uncle please stop this". Naytan yelled as loud as he could, which considering he was poisoned, wasn't very loud. Hal looked toward him and frowned. "I'm sorry nephew. It's done". Hal said turning back to the beam.

Outside the palace everyone laid their eyes on the sky as a dark, black, winged figure appeared in the beam. "What's going on". "Is this the new leader"? "I wonder who he is". The citizens murmured. The city of Archvil is now beholding the sight of an Under Lord.
