I stood my ground with my sword raised up. "You're gonna pay for all those you've killed!" I yelled at her. Majesta just rolled her eyes. I gritted my teeth and jumped up at her but she shot a bolt of lightning at me from her hand. I dodged it and flew right up to Majesta. I swung my sword at her but she caught the blade with her bare hand. Her free hand caught on fire and she punched me in the face sending me flying back as she snatched the sword from my hand. My armour vanished and I hit the ground with a THUMP!

Majesta floated towards me while holding the balancer. The sword changed form to the black halberd and Majesta dawned black armour around her body. Dang it not again I thought. "Did you forget who I was?" Majesta asked. "Trust me, I remember exactly who you are" I said as I got up.  Majesta smiled "then you should know I'm not making the same mistake twice!" Majesta flew down towards me holding the halberd over her head. She brought the axe of it down on me but I leaped out of the way in the nick of time.

The axe hit the ground with a BOOOM! As the spot I was standing in totally blew up. Majesta turned to me and swung her weapon at me but I created a shield in front of me. She destroyed it with one hit but delayed her attack long enough for me to duck and dodge the axe. I charged my arm with a fraction of my now limited mana and threw my fist into her belly. The force sent Majesta flying back miles away into the forest within a few seconds she was lost in the trees.

"Ooowww!" I yelled as I held my now hurting knuckle. "HOOWWW!" Majesta screamed as she flew up into the air from the forest. "How can you still be alive, I have your precious balancer!" She yelled at me. I shook my hurting hand as I looked up at Majesta. I then teleported right behind Majesta. "Because" I said as Majesta tried to swing her helberd at me. I blocked it with my arm ignoring the pain. "I've been practicing my butt off over the 10 years" I continued as dropped my elbow on top of Majestas head. She fell back to the ground hitting the earth again.

"And I've trained my body to have three times more magic power then any regular person should have". I formed a ball of fire over my body as I free fell towards Majesta. The ball grew in size as I fell. "So while you've been dead I've been getting better!" I yelled as I dropped the ball of fire on her. Majesta raised her weapon over her to block the attack. The ball fell right on top of her and blew up. BAAANNGG!!!! The explosion was so massive it incinerated every tree within a mile radius of the area.

I landed on the ground and stood there in the smoke and ash. I could no longer see Majesta because of all the smoke, and although I could no longer sense her presence I knew this wasn't over. I stood still listening for any signs of life. Suddenly I heard a grunt from behind me. I jumped out of the way as Majesta jumped at me bringing her helberd down into the dirt. I leaped back even further ready for a fight. Majesta was breathing hard and was frowning very hard. "I'm going to end you" she growled as she looked me in the eyes.

She raised her helberd up ready to attack again. I quickly bent down slamming the palm of my hand on the ground and focusing my mana into the ground. Majesta jumped at and swung the helberd at me striking me in the neck and cutting my head clean off.  Majesta smiled in satisfaction as my body fell to the ground. "Yes! Finally I've ki-" her smile went away as she realized there was a lack of blood. She bent over and touched my body. The headless corpse then transformed into dirt and sunk back into the ground.

"A clone" she growled, "and that's not the only one" I said as the smoke started to clear. When the smoke finally cleared away Majesta realized she was surrounded by dozens of clones of me. "Really, dirt magic, you insult me Toby" she said. "Oh I'm planning on doing more then just insulting you" all the clones said in usion. The clones then all rushed at her. With one swing Majesta cut five clones in front of her in two. They dissolved into dirt and Majesta turned to attack the ones behind her.

But it was to late, about seven clones jumped on her. One kneed her in the belly causing her to double over. Then the rest started to stomp and punch her. More and more clones joined the fight and started to beat on her.  "Enough!" Majesta yelled as she slammed the end of her helberd into the ground. A burst of fire came out of her pushing all the clones into the air off of her. "Show your true self Toby!" She screamed. Suddenly a hole appeared in the ground in front of her. I jumped out and leaped at her.

"Here I am!" I yelled as I threw my fist at her. She just smacked my hand out of the way and plundged her axe into my chest. "Now you die" she spat, I just started to chuckle "wow, this would've really hurt if I wasn't a clone" I said as dirt fell from my lips. "Whaattt!" Majesta growled as the clone melted into dirt. That's when another hole appeared behind Majesta without her knowing. I leaped out and grabbed the back of her head. "Now let's find out if your room mate is worthy" said as I casted a mind spell.

Majestas started to twitch and she dropped the balancer on the ground. The armour vanished as Cindy fell to the ground. Cindy looked up at me with fear in her eyes. "W-what happened?" She asked. "I pushed Majesta to the back of your head is what happened" I said as I picked the balancer back up. It transformed back into a sword and I put it in my scabbard. Tears started to fall down Cindy's cheeks "thank you" she said. I looked at her with a confused expression. "For what?" I asked.

Cindy looked away "for giving me some peace, I should've never shared my head with Majesta. Her thoughts are so wicked. I can't handle it, she's making me go crazy" she cried. "Hm, well I didn't get rid of her, I only pushed her to the back of your conscious so she could stop using the balancer since you're not worthy" I explained. "What!? You mean she's going to take over again!?" Cindy asked. "Yeah, in about an hour" I told her. Cindy sobbed a little "kill me" she whispered. "Oh trust me I want to, but I first gotta separate your body from Majestas".

"Why" Cindy asked, "well for one you gotta pay for your crimes in jail Cindy, and for two Majesta has more ways to raise from the dead, I have to kill her as one entity to make sure she stays dead forever" I explained. I then grabbed Cindy and lifted her up. "So Cindy, I'm placing you under arrest".
