Shadows of Atlas

12- The Apostles of Chaos

"Who are you? What business do you have here?," Eto yelled at the person in the trees. "You have stolen the Chaos Stars of Nature, Water, and Fire. Give them back now or the punishment shall be death," the voice said closely. "You know... You might sound threatening, but it was a terrible mistake speaking from the trees when there's a nature magician on the enemy's side," Chris pointed out and made the trees in a 30 mile radius grow giant spikes from their trunks and branches.

"You've been training," Eto aknowledged Christian's stregth. "Foolish idiots, you think that has can kill the Apostles of Chaos?," the voice said. Suddenly, Eto senses impending danger and said: "Everybody get down, now!" As soon as he said that, all the trees in a mile radius were cut down as if they were nothing and revealed the attackers. "S-so powerful...," Zai's voice trailed off. "Behold the power of the Apostles of Chaos," the leader said.

She was a tall woman with tan skin and flowing Brown hair, she wore black armor and wielded a black and purple scythe. "I will ask again. Who the hell are you?," Eto said with a cold expression. "Her name is Yoma... She is the Apostle that represents Darkness and the leader of the Apostles of Chaos. She is the best at tracking down enemies and never leaves them alive!," Brian explained. "Ah, the failure of an Apostle. Really Brian? You have allied with the enemies of the kingdom? I knew you were stupid, but not this stupid," one of them taunted. "This is my final warning, give me the stars or die," Yoma ordered. "Then you'll just have to kill us, but before that witness our disappearing act!," Eto said with a wink as he ordered his team to scatter.

"I hold the Fire star, but only two out of the other three hold the other two stars. What's your move?," Eto said with a smug look on his face. "Damn you. Scatter and get the stars back!," Yoma said with frustration. "Chaos Star Power! Rank Up!," Eto transformed and tried to slice at Yoma, but the sword went through her. "What?," Eto asked in shock. "My ablity is called Phazer, regular attacks pass right through me," she said as she shot a blast of darkness that sent Eto crashing against a tree trunk.

"You gave us quite the run, but you're cornered now!," one of the Apostles said to Zai. "Yeah, so like just surrender and maybe we'll let you live," the other said. Both of them were female, but one had long black hair that flowed in the wind, while her bangs covered one eye and wore a red dress that left her right leg sticking out with black heels and a black necklace with a ruby in the middle. The other wore purple and grey armor and had her black hair tied into a pony tail. "First things first, I love your style. You must get like all the boys' attention!," Zai told the armored one. "W-what? I-I mean t-thank you?," She replied as she was caught off guard. "Oh please, Licel is as akward as girls can be. She is great in battle, but she'll never get men with the way she dresses," the other one taunted. "Excuse you Raisa, but I did not know that beauty and clumsiness were the same thing," Licel countered. "Whatever, let's just get her," Raisa said. "Agreed, Shattering Maelstrom!," Licel said as she conjured up a powerful wind attack. "Wait for me! Flame Tornado!," Raisa chanted as she casted a tornado of fire and merged it with Licel's attack to form a more powerful attack. The attack hit Zai with a destructive force that incinerated the nearby trees as well. "Ha! How's that for clumsy?," Raisa gloated, but then saw that Zai was still standing umscathed. "What the hell?," Licel asked. The Zai that was standing still suddenly shattered into many shards and they homed in at the female Apostles, causing great damage. "An ice clone?," Raisa questioned in disbelief. "I'm not just a simple support mage, I am also a powerful offensive one as well," Zai said as she cast Acceleratrix on herself and formed a rapier of ice from her wand and rapidly struck them from multiple directions. "Raisa! Guns!," Licel said. "Yeah, yeah I'm on it, Rain of Fire," Raisa yelled as she shot multple bullets of fire, causing Zai to take some damage and stop the assault. "Not so scary now huh?," Raisa teased at Zai. "Watch it princess, you will eat your words," Zai said as her wand started to glow. She froze the floor and trapped both girls there. Then, cold air started swirling around her and forming giant wings on her back. "Take this! Angelic Winter Smitting!," She said as she flew in the sky and formed a giant sword of ice and slashed at both girls, thus defeating them. She then said with a wink: "You messed with the wrong bitch and also, I don't have any of the stars. Sorry not sorry." She then proceeded to capture them in ice.
