Magiswords: The Complete Trilogy

Echoes Part 9

On Earth, fog starts to spread around the vast mountains and caves from the long fought battle, yet it seems as though its not won. Coming from outside the small cave of stuff, Gumball peeks his out from behind a rock, looking in all directions, silently pointing his finger and tail toward the path back down to the ground. Danny, Penny (shapeshifted into a wolf), Lady Hiss with a muscly arm Magisword, Skullivan with a Toothpaste Magisword, Prug, and Grup step out from behind the young blue cat and stop and duck behind a small border at the edge of the cliff path, looking down at the foggy surface as the sun barely shines down on them.

Lady Hiss looking at Danny's face: Do you perhaps need any sunssscreen, Danny? You look kinda pale.

Danny looking under his glove at his skin: ...Huh. Never noticed that. I'm good.

Grup: Do you see any robots yet?

Prug looking up at the sky: No. But I see something big. It looks like a giant building floating in the sky.

Penny looking up too: Huh?

The Echo Space Station barely descends from above the Earth to the very edge of the atmosphere where its lower hull can be seen in the shadows of the clouds, big enough to be seen across the city!

Penny: Oh no! The space station's gotten closer! But why?

Danny: You sure its not cause we're so high up from the ground?

Penny: No. It wasn't visible when we were flying around. It shouldn't be like this. (Sniffs)

Suddenly, Danny's ghost senses go off and Penny detects something approaching!

Penny: Guys, look out! I smell the drones coming! And they have the scent of burning wood...

Danny: They're destroying everyone's homes! We'd better hurry! Ready your weapons!

As the group aim their weapons and power themselves up, about 10 of the smaller Echo Drones fly out from the clouds slowly scanning the ground. Seems simple enough until behind them, 20 more Commando Units follow and a tall and wide triangular object slowly descends from the skies.

Skullivan: Uh oh. Looks like the calvalry's here.

Danny: Don't worry, Skully. We'll keep em back while you guys prepare the rockets! Grup, keep your sights on that thing that just came down. We'll hold off those drones!

Grup saluting: Roger, Captain Phantom!

Penny transforms back into a dragon and Gumball gets on her back and rides off with her and Danny. He has a special Homing Beacon Magisword equipped and uses it to target multiple robots coming for them for Penny to shoot perfectly! Each of her fireballs manage to scorch the drones' hulls, but each of the commandos keep flight and get into a diamond formation for a combined laser attack! Without thinking, Danny gets in front of Penny and Gumball releasing a wide ecto shield that just barely holds itself together from the beams! Some of Danny's energy is drained as a result, and he's forced to rely on his Rocket Magisword to fly and evade the incoming robots. Of course, it's taking some getting used to, unable to control it since he's holding the rocket by a handle, buzzing around the sky while the strange tower just below him starts deploying weapons of some sort. About 8 turrets protrude from the front of its narrow center, two heavy turrets on its sides, and one aiming laser at its peak. The aiming laser targets toward Rhybloflaven for a quick zoom in to the villages before a single shot to its market center, completely annihilating the place just as civilians were about to leave their hiding spots. This prompts them all to go back into hiding, but to many of them, it's already too late. The force of the cannon was enough to leave a massive crater in the ground and completely decimate nearby buildings and statues. This quickly catches MaBarnacle and Cyrus' attention when they and their group arrive just in time to see the carnage.
