Duskaea and the Fatum Family

Refined Awakening

Mason and Beatrix combined both of their psychic and phantasmal energies and released a column of ray towards Maddox. Blaze got back down, and changed into his blue-fire mode. I supported them with my grey knife. It's the least that I can do to help them.

"NUISANCES!" Maddox unleashed his true potential. He turned into a snake almost a size of a planet. Its skin got more and more defenses, crystallized and layered with the four basic elements, wind, fire, earth, water, in orderly. The environment just got severer than before. This is bad. Real bad.

"Defending yourself with the four elements huh? What a simpleton." Blaze tried to absorb the fire.

"Why can't I get it out from him?!" Blaze asked. Just like before, the elements that came from the environment can't be controlled, because of its corruption and life-threatening effects. The corruption was caused by Maddox too, meaning he's the only one who can control it, and no one else.

"The elements came from the environment. For now, we can't use it, because Maddox reigned over its essence, but we must stop it. We can't use its nature for now, but we can create from ours." Oceane explained to him.

"It will consume much of our energy, Oceane." Blaze said, arrogantly.

"Then what do you suggest, Blaze?" she frowned at Blaze.

"I can't hit its body. The hurricane around it is too potent for me." Arlo told us.

"Then why don't Mason and Beatrix deal it with their abilities?!" Blaze yelled.

"We can't achieve its true potential yet, Blaze." Mason answered.

"Is that it? How weak of you. I can't call you my siblings, if you're that weak." he uttered. This is maddening me, I know he's our elder brother too, but what he said is just too much. I'm the weakest among all of them, not Beatrix and Mason. They're both strong. I attempted to walk towards him, and thought of punching him, but Arlo held me on my left shoulder, then shook his head as a sign of "no".

"HAHAHAHAHAHA! THIS ISSSSSS IT! A CHANCE WHERE THE FATUM WILL END UP DEPRIVING THEMSELVESSSSSS. LET ME END IT FOR YOU." Maddox excitingly screamed. He gathered lightning energy and mixed it with his own corrupted energy, enhancing the burst more. This'll end us for sure. He released them.

"Corruption Burst!" he yelled.

"Get away!" we ran as fast as we could, but it ended with all of them were hit except me. They protected me with all they can.

"How could you?!" I shouted at Maddox.

"Well, now that you're the only one left. I'll be successful of being the new prince of the Telum clan!" he released a wicked chuckle after saying that.

"Stop." I uttered.

"Me? Stop?! HAHAHAHA. How foolish of you, who don't even possess any power, to try and stop me." he told me.

"This is not you! You're not yourself. You are being controlled only!" I yelled at him.

"That's not true! I AM A TELUM! You can't trick me." he uttered, slightly confused now.

"You were never meant to be prince of the Telum's clan. Because you are greater than them." I said.

"SSSTOP! SSSSSTOP! SSSSSTOOOOP!!!!" he blasted his energy from his mouth, hitting all directions. The wolves that survived the attack from before, carried my siblings towards me.

"She is right. You're never a Telum." one of the wolves uttered.

"NOOOOO!!!" his reptilian body shedded its skin and is now covered with his own energy, instead of crystallized scales and elemental protectors. He let out countless, immense energy waves in all directions, and we barely dodged any along with my slumbering siblings carried by the wolves. This ability of his is passive. We can't get near him, or we'll end up passing away.
