The White Chronicle

Chapter 16 - The end and a new beginning.

As Orochimaru charges at Juan, Atlas uses his strength to top the jaw Orochimaru. Gil sees the fang started to drip its venom; since he can't risk using his powers - least be consumed by Orochimaru, he instead grabs a large chunk of mud and hurl it to the fang and covered it. Tala grabbed Juan to fly him out of there. "You owe me, Juan. You better make it up to me." Juan smiled and thanked her.

The gas from the other head started to spread. Amihan uses a small gust of wind to blow the gas out of her way as she dodges the bites from it. The head which oozes acid saw this opportunity to eat Amihan too. Juan whistled to call for help! Juan's frog on his shoulder leaped to save her. The frog transformed into Juan and more frogs from the area also transformed into Juan. They all landed on the head who produce gas and stab it; distracting it and saved Amihan from her dangerous position. Amihan thanked Juan and his friends for saving her.

"Juan, why didn't your frogs die from the gas?" Jasmine asked as she observed the battle from the village. Juan replies that those frogs have air sacs in them. They are trained to withstand poisonous materials and can hold their breaths for a longer time than humans. "This gives me an idea. Juan, can you conjure more of your illusions?" Juan replied that he can but he needs more frogs to gather to their position and to do so it will take time.

"Kulog, Atlas, and Juan's magics are elements that can't be eaten by Orochimaru. Team, distract the snakeheads. Juan's illusion and Atlas' strength will be our key for killing two of the heads. We need to find the key to killing the third head. Cause more distraction until we need its weakness."

"Kulog, your sound was not eaten by Orochimaru earlier, hit more of those. Kislap, share your power with your sister. Keep running and him Orochimaru distracted." Kislap and Kulog started their magic. Kislap grabs Kislap and shared her powers. Both of them run around Orochimaru while Kulog unleashed sonic blast.

"Atlas and Gil, your strengths are essential in defeating Orochimaru. Atlas, your gundam earlier sliced off 5 of the heads, can you do it again?" Atlas still holding on to the head of the snake, twist it then slam it to the ground. He runs to a safe distance while Gil tries to distract the main head. The earth communes with Atlas as he gathers his magic to create another gundam. Orochimaru sees this and sends his head with acid to destroy Atlas' creation. Atlas manages to roll out of the way before the acid can melt him, his gundam wasn't lucky. It melted before his eyes. "Malaka! I cant build one if that acid head keeps destroying my creation."

Gil was sent flying by the snake's attack and landed near Atlas. "I can't stay there too long. The gas is irritating for me and I can't hold my breath that long". Gil points at the acid and gas head as both continue to produce their toxin to limit the guardians' approach. It's both defensive measures and a tactical attack for Orochimaru. Gil asked Atlas if there are rocks that can withstand such acidity from Orochimaru.

"I summon rocks that can withstand his acid but that head keeps spitting out acid that is more potent than the last. It can outdo the rocks I summon. I need that head to be taken out or I will waste my magic."

"Atlas, remember the iron sword? Can you see it?" Jasmine chimes in. The iron sword is beside the melting gundam. "Yeah, by the first gundam. Why you ask?" Atlas replied.

"Time for plan B. Atlas and Gil, both of you will need to work together and used that sword to cut off the head of Orochimaru. Carry it and cut off the head while the snake is distracted." Jasmine instructed the two then she turns her attention to Amihan.

"Amihan, you been on different lands and saw a lot of stuff in this world. Can you identify what kind of gas that Orochimaru makes? Find its weakness and exploit it against him." Amihan swoops in and collects a gas sample by capturing it in a wind bubble on her hand. Amihan analyzes the gas by separating each property of the gas, piece by piece. And there she finds a peculiar yellow speck of dust in the gas. She can identify the other thing within the gas but not these and she needs someone who can identify it.
