The Magic

The battle begins

Erikson thrusted his arm forward unleashing a beam of brown mana that slammed into the Aqua Magic holding him by the wrist.
The Aqua Magic was sent hurtling backward and released his grip on Erikson as he slammed into the ground.
‘This sound make them back off.’ Erikson thought to himself.
Erikson placed his hands together and began channelling a spell.
The ground around Erikson began to shake and brown mana flowed around him.
‘Guard spell!’ The woman shouted at the Aqua Magic next to her.
Both the Woman and the Aqua Magic began to chant a combined spell shield.
Aqua mana flowed around both of them.
Erikson had the advantage of charging his spell before his two opponents however they were able to charge a spell at twice their normal speed by combining their mana together.

Erikson thrusted his arm forward and shouted ‘Brown mana volley!’
Erikson fired twenty to thirty spheres of mana at his opponents and there has a large explosion of mana.
Erikson took no time waiting to see the outcome of his spell; he just turned and ran towards Leon.
Leon was already at his friends. He ran towards the closest one, it was Kelly.
Quickly Leon rolled her over and checked her pulse. She was alive.
Leon could only hope his other friends were all the same.
Leon noticed the Crystal katana strapped to Kelly’s back. He untied the katana from around her and picked it up.
‘Leon watch out!’ Erikson shouted.
Leon looked up and strong hand gripped him by the neck and lifted him into the air.

Leon struggled against the man’s grip. He tried grabbing the man’s wrist to push back his hand but he couldn’t. He thrashed his legs pointlessly trying to find the ground again even though he knew that he couldn’t find it.
Leon began to cough up his last bit of air, he could feel himself slowly losing consciousness. Every second that past he could feel that a bit more of his life drained away.

Erikson ran as fast as he could but he wasn’t quick enough. In his carelessness to see if he had beaten the two Aqua Magics he didn’t wait to notice that the pair had managed to put up a spell shield in time.
The woman lashed forward a rope of water; it caught Erikson by the ankle tripping him up.
The woman dragged Erikson back along the ground.
He tried to struggle against the water dragging him but it was no use. Quickly the other Aqua lashed another rope of water around Erikson’s other leg.
Erikson struggled and struggled. Focusing his mana he raised a large rock out of the ground. He grabbed the rock desperately trying to stop the two Aqua Magics from pulling him in.
In one last effort to struggle free, Erikson blasted a huge wave of mana at the Aqua Magics.
In shock they jumped into the air and had no choice but to disengage end release the water restraints around Erikson.

Erikson jumped to his feet ready for another round.
‘It looks like I have no choice but to fight these two. The chance of getting to Leon with them here is too low.’ He thought to himself.
Springing forward Erikson raced towards the two Aqua Magics and as he ran a long spear made out of stone sprung out of the ground and into his hand.
Using the blunt end of the spear Erikson propelled himself high into the air.
Spinning the spear above his head, Erikson supercharged the spear with mana and then threw it straight at the male Aqua Magic.
The Aqua Magic was caught off guard. Erikson’s spear stabbed through his shoulder, sending him rocketing backwards and slamming onto the ground crying out in pain as his blood began to stain his clothes and run across the ground.

Leon felt all the strength leave his body. His grip relaxed and his hands and legs fell limp, his head bowed and he dangled as if a ragdoll.
The Aqua Magic strangling Leon tightened his grip. He was going to snap Leon’s neck.
But something caught his hands, a golden whip of mana tightened around his wrist. His right hand was ripped away from Leon’s throat and Leon crashed to the ground. Coughing and breathing heavily Leon felt himself coming back from the edge of death.
The Aqua Magic turned around and saw Alexandra. She was wobbling on her feet but alive.
‘Foolish girl.’ He spoke.
At the man’s words Leon looked up saw Alexandra too. That was all he needed to have a reason to fight.
With all the strength that had returned to him he reached for his Crystal katana and sprung to his feet.
Leon slashed the Katana at the off guard Magic in front of him.
But the man dodged, he jumped forward and ran at Alexandra.
Alexandra seemed paralysed in fear for a moment but then there was an explosion of dust dirt in front of her.
Leon was paralysed with shock for a moment but then a hand grasped his shoulder shocking him out of his frozen state.

Leon turned around and there was Alexandra and his other friends all standing up.
Alexandra flung her arms around Leon.
‘We were so worried about you.’ She said. ‘And when we find you, you go and nearly get yourself killed; you’re such a big dummy.’
Leon smiled. ‘It’s good to see you too.’ He said softly.
Alexandra stepped back from Leon. ‘There’s no time for letting our guard down we have other problems.’ Alexandra said.
Leon turned around to find the Aqua Magic facing them. ‘You’re right but this guy is tough. He is so much stronger than what Edward is, I need all of your help.’
‘Well then what’s the plan?’ Blain asked.
‘Ok first off Kelly and I will fight at close range, Blaine you use your bow to lay down cover fire, Collin use spells to throw him off balance and Alexandra use your whip to try and hold his limbs back.’
Kelly ran next to Leon and drew her Crystal sword and shield. Purple magic flowed into her Crystal equipment lighting it up with a brilliant light and giving it a shape more close to an actual sword and shield.
‘Are you ready?’ Leon asked.
‘Yeah, we all are.’ Kelly replied.
Kelly and Leon charged forward, ready for battle.

The woman Aqua Magic got her balance back and glared down at Erikson.
‘What is with this guy? Aqua Magic has strength against Brown Earth Magic and yet when it seemed as if he was down he got a second wind. It’s as if he is able to break regular laws of magic...’ She thought to herself.
Erikson dashed towards her, being careful not to slip over on the muddy wet ground.
The woman began to chant a spell and not wanting to be further injured he stomped his foot on the ground causing a large block of stone to rise up out of the ground, hitting the woman and sending her up into the air.

Erikson threw a wave of brown mana at her, hitting her as she fell back down.
When she landed on the ground she felt too weak to move, a few of her bones were broken and she struggled with pain to turn her head looking around.
Erikson walked over to her. Looking down at her he said. ‘it was pointless of you to come here, you all may as well have been turning yourselves in.’
‘No you don’t understand. Our leader over there, he is incredibly powerful, those children will die after a few minutes of fighting him, once he decides to stop toying with them.’ The woman laughed while coughing at the same time.
‘Malqua my love, I’m sorry I am no longer of any use to you.’ She said as her head fell back onto the ground, and she was unconscious.
