Me and Derek started fighting our way through the crowd of the undead. "Are you an idiot? Why would you bring Majesta here?" Derek asked as he kicked a zombies head off. "Cindy's still alive in there, I couldn't bring myself to kill her she's in great agony" I yelled to him as I sliced two zombies in half. "So what you should've ended all this" Derek complained as he punched another zombie in the face. "I guess that's the reason I'm worthy of using the balancer and you're not" I said as I froze the group of zombies in front of me with ice magic.

Crimson got back up to her feet wiping tears out of eyes. "Crimson are you alright?" I asked her while pushing a group of zombies off of me. "Yes, for now anyways" she answered, "good, let's get out of here, there's more important things we have to tend to" I said as I put my sword in its holster and opened a portal behind me. Derek was the first to jump through then Crimson went in second. The horde of zombies turned all their attention to me. "Burn!"I yelled as I jumped into the portal. The clouds then split and a large fire ball fell from the sky burning everything in its wake.

When I emerged from the other end of the portal things were just as bad as before. Large hordes of zombies were attacking the front of the castle holding the relic in it. Both my forces and Dereks were working together to keep the zombies at bay. Derek and Crimson were now helping in the fight. Crimson was doing the most damage, she was destroying groups of the undead in single attacks with no regard for anyone elses life. Luckily no one stood in her way.

In the mist of battle Velro came running to me with blood running down his forehead. He came to me out of breath and sweaty. "Majesta escaped her cell, she's on her way here!" Velro yelled. "Yeah what was your first guess?" I said sarcastically. "She'll be here within seconds" Velro said in a panic. I nodded my head "how about Sandra is she safe?" I asked. Velro nodded "when I realized what was happening me and Samantha rescued her from the hospital. Samantha and your wife were then taken to the main land" Velro explained.

I sighed in relief, if everything goes down the toilet at least my wife will be safe. Suddenly there was a loud crack of thunder and the sun was blocked from the skys with dark clouds. A few yards away a large dark cloud of smoke formed blocking the veiw of the other side of the Ministry. Majesta came flying out of the smoke towards me. "Here she comes" Velro said, "you should run Velro, things are going to get messy" I told him. "If I'm going to run Toby, it'll be right at her" he said as he stood his ground. Majesta was coming at me like a missle and she wasn't slowing down.

Derek leaped up in the air at her, "hey ugly, if you want to get to that relic you're going to have to get passed-" he was cut short as Majesta smacked him out of her way like a flea and kept going. Crimson then flew up towards Majesta with hate in her eyes. Her hands started to glow red and steam came from her body. "You're not getting passed me that easy!" She screamed as Majesta flew towards her. Majesta tried to smack Crimson like she did with Derek.

But Crimson caught her hand stopping the attack. Majesta looked shocked. Crimson then uppercutted Majesta in her stomach with terrifying force. Majesta flew up towards the clouds. Crimson flew up after her. "I won't allow you to hurt no one ever again!" Crimson yelled. She then punched Majesta in the face sending her flying up higher into the air until they both got lost in the dark clouds. "Aren't you going to go help" Velro asked. "No, I'm the last line of defense just in case Crimson doesn't beat her" I answered. "Think she can beat her?" Velro asked. "She has to" I told him as I looked up at the clouds.

Crimsons punches could be heard all the way from the sky. It sounded like thunder cracking with each blow she gave her. Suddenly there was a loud BANG! And for a quick second the sky lit up with yellow light. The sounds of Crimsons punches were gone. "Did she win?" Velro asked, I squinted my eyes trying to feel for for Crimsons energy. "No" I answered, suddenly Crimsons body fell from the clouds. She wasn't moving and wasn't slowing down. I opened a portal under her one over me.

She fell through the portal and was caught in my arms. She was unconscious but still alive. She opened her eyes a little showing the bright blue color. "Crimson.... Would've.... Won" she struggled to say. "I know Christa, get some rest" I told her. She closed her eyes and fell unconscious. I looked up and seen Majesta flying back down towards me even faster then before. "Here, take her" I ordered Velro as I handed her over to Velro. "Good luck" he said, I nodded and flew up towards Majesta. She fell towards me ready to attack.

I took my sword out and swung it at her. She caught the blade with her hand and pushed me back down towards the earth. "No matter what I'll get what I want" she said. "I don't understand why you have to be so evil Majesta, you could do so much good in this world" I said. Majesta chuckled "funny, the last guardian told me the same exact thing, she was a lot more fun then you". I pushed back against her slowing our descend. Electricity flowed through my body and I shot a bolt of lightning at her.

Majesta smacked the lightning out of her way and punched me in face. She then grabbed my chest plate and started spinning me around above her head. "I'm tired of losing to you child" she said as she threw me down towards the castle. I landed on the roof of the castle with a BOOM! Majesta came flying down on top of me tackling me through the roof. We landed on the floor creating a large creator in the ground. The relic was in the same chest on a pedestal in the middle of the room. Majesta stood over my body and smirked.

"Too bad you can't fight me with all your power, you're afraid you might hurt all of your friends if you go full out" she said. I swiftly got up and tried to slice my sword at her neck. But again she caught the blade "but I'm fighting you with every ounce of my strength" she said as she punched me to the other side of the room. She then turned towards the relic and ran to it. "No!" I yelled as I teleported in front of her. "BURN!" I yelled as I pointed my hand towards her.

There was a loud BOOM! As yellow fire blew out from my hand. The heat was intense and the force of the explosion blew up the whole front of the building into nothing but rubble. I hope Velro and Christa weren't in the way of that I thought. When the smoke cleared Majesta was still standing there. She had both her arms covering her face and her skin and clothes were burnt and steaming. I gasped, there's no way she survived that. "You must not understand" she said as she lunged at me, she grabbed me by the face and pushed the back of my head to the ground.

"I will get that relic by any means necessary" she growled. She then ran for the relic again. But this time she got to it. She rushed open the chest and grabbed the relic that was inside. Velro Derek and Christa rushed into the now burnt castle. "Oh you've gotta be kidding me" Derek said. I got up and turned to see Majesta holding the relic up over her head. "Ha ha ha ha finally, unlimited power is mines, I can feel it corsing through my veins!" she yelled in joy.

She then grabbed her own chest, "no need for this body anymore" she said smiling. Suddenly her face started to mold and change shape, she started to pull another body out of her own. Cindy came out of Majetsas chest with the same old burnt clothes on. Majesta was back looking the way she used to with a long flowing black dress with a metal breats plate. "W-w-what?" Cindy said in confusion. Majesta threw her to the side and placed the relic on her chest and started laughing maniacally. I raised my sword up ready to engage her.

"I'm going to kill you!" I yelled as I ran at her. She smiled at me, "time to finish this" she said. She raised her hand and as I ran up to her she flicked her finger and tapped me in the chest. And just like that I flew back outside the front of castle passed Derek Velro and Christa and hit a building destroying it. I laid there in the rubble holding the balancer, I was unable to move or breath. I just sat there, closed my eyes...... And died.
