The Slitherine

Chapter Sixteen- Seventeen

So, at noon, I teleported everyone to an open dimension suited for battling, and it began.

There was no bloodshed from the Slitherine, nor the shadow versions either, as shadows can't bleed.

Thus, I had to introduce a new transformation, before it was too late. A hydra.

'Creator': (You guys.)

Slitherine: (What? We're kind of busy here.)

'Creator': (You can clone yourselves..)

Slitherine: (Oh yeah.. What's up?)

'Creator': (Turn into a hydra.)

Slitherine: (How, and why?)

'Creator': (How, you merge minds and spirits, why, to beat the shadows.)

So they turned into a white three-headed dragon, looking at it, from left to right, red eyes (Calem), green eyes (Daniel) and blue eyes (Sky). Korva's physical power, Secra and Scarra's mastery of flame, with Stephanie's white, as scale colour.

Long story short, defeated the shadows, and came into contact with an unthought disadvantage.

-End of Sixteen-

The shadows were easily defeated because of the fusion's power, and then, I made them unfuse back to their normal selves.

Daniel: "I never want to feel that strong again.."

'Creator': "Too bad, you're going to have to, but it won't work."

Xavier: "Let's just deal with this creep."

So they killed Salantrice, spear through the chest, but it seemed too easy for a final boss..I probably seemed weak to them, so I faced them, secretly preparing them for worse. And then this giant mech appeared out of the ground, ripped through the dimension, taking us back to our world.

Cole: "What?"

'Creator': "My thoughts exactly..."

Kale turns into a cheetah -(because, using his claw, he can turn into any mammal)- and runs up to the mech, distracting it. Yet to no real avail, as the robot just went for the others shortly after, taking no notice in, from its perspective, a tiny kitten.

Korva: "At least he tried."

Then the real battle starts...

-

Cole controls his black magic through his ring, while Calem uses dark magic (slightly weaker, but can be used longer, with less strain) on the back of the metal monster. Korva scales the machine fairly recklessly... Kale uses his claw to, also scale, but in a more careful manner. Sky concentrates light onto the machine's lenses, but since they were dimmed, it didn't work too well.

Meanwhile, Xavier, Secra, Scarra and Stephanie were protecting me, because, if I die, they all die. Just then, a whole giant swarm of smaller robots came out of the larger, all headed towards me. Stephanie put a shield of light around me, while Scarra and Secra focused magic on the bots. Xavier, put in the most work, charging in and finishing as many as he could. The larger bot, read this or not, took off a part of its chestplate, and used it to knock everyone away. Kale quickly turned into a bear as a shock absorber, which didn't work too well, and everyone else -except me- was lying on the ground.

How was I still standing? I don't know. Was everyone ok? Also, no clue. Should I use most of my will and power to destroy this thing? Definitely. So, I gathered everyone's remaining strength, and turned it into a forceful blast of colour, decimating the structure of metal. But when I tried to sense for any life, only found one...

My own.
