NIGHTBLADE

Chapter 48

All of that has been broadcasted to all television screens across the world. Many people are confused, and/or shocked by what they have seen especially those close to Damian.

Back in the warehouse, things are heating up. Damian was lost in his thoughts thinking if this was the right decision and the best course of action.

"Since we have a deal, I will let you have your little chat with those girls before we get this over with." the statue told him,

The cloaked figure chuckled, "Be sure to say your good-byes before we begin the process." he added,

Damian nodded and looked at Maria and Justine who were still stunned by what they witnessed so far. But as he walked towards them, all of a sudden two portals appeared below the girls and they both fell into them. Little did he know that Justine was transported back to her family.

Seeing their chance, the cloaked figure snapped his fingers and green vines sprouted from the ground below Damian grabbing his limbs and lifted him into the air.

Neon saw it happen and he got out of the medallion and was about to rescue Damian but black goo grabbed him and pinned him to the ground. THUD!!

Damian struggled to break free, "Hey! What's the meaning of this!?"

"Do you honestly think I was gonna fall for this, hero?" The statue chuckled,

Suddenly, a portal appeared in front of the statue and Maria emerged from it and was confused, "Wait. What am I doing back here?" she wondered,

She turned around and in a split second, the darkness within the statue broke free and engulfed her.

"NO!!" Damian shouted,

The darkness began to grow and take shape. Slowly, it grew so big, the ceiling of the warehouse broke above them. Then, black wings sprouted from its back and the Dark Dragon appeared before them with its black armor with a purple gem on its chest.

"It feels so good to be back," it muttered and looked down at Damian and Neon, "Now then, let's begin the offering."

All of a sudden, the black goo that was surrounding Neon lifted him up and went straight to the Dark Dragon's hand.

"What are you going to do to him?" Damian asked,

The Dark Dragon smiled and started squeezing the bluebird. Neon screamed in pain. With a last-ditch effort, the black tyrant closed his hand and disintegrated Neon to dust.

"NEON!!--" Damian's words were cut off as he felt a pain in his chest. He looked down and saw a black sword piercing his heart.

The green vines let him go and Damian fell to the floor motionless.

On the other hand, the cloaked figure laughed maniacally as he continued filming all of it on camera and broadcasting it across the world.

"We actually did it, boss!" he cheered, "We killed the last descendant of your enemy!"

"Indeed I do." The Dark Dragon said,

The cloaked figure stopped laughing and began to realize that something was off. He looked at his master and asked, "What do you mean by that?"

The Dark Dragon just smiled at him, "Thank you for everything." the beast replied,

"Uh, you're welcome." The cloaked figure said,

"But your services are no longer required," The Dark Dragon continued,

A split second before the cloaked figure could react, he was pinned to the ground and stabbed in the back by a long black sword and he vanished turned to dust.

Suddenly, all of the white feathers that the cloaked figure had within him along with the ones within the stone lizard floated up and went inside the purple gem.

"Ladies and gentlemen!" the Dark Dragon roared, "Your only savior has been vanquished. You must now refer to me as your Lord and Master for all eternity!"

With that, the beast destroyed the camera ending the live broadcast and the Dark Dragon grew bigger and went straight for the city to start wreaking havoc.
