My Masterpiece

Frozen spears of jagged ice flew to the side of the room, any stray blades of freezing cold were shot down or cut to pieces.

Of course I did not let the others do all the work for me. It was not every day one fought a miserable woman.

"F*ck you! Ganging up on an old woman. Don't you feel shame?!" Reiko shouted aloud as I dodged her attacks with a nervous gait.

I had never expected her to be so aggressive with her moves. Casting a glance at both sides, I witnessed the three girls flanking Reiko with various attacks.

Anjou repeatedly waved her Handbell around, sending all of the icicle lances, back to their maker with rippling portals.

Invisible bullets shot by Hyoka bought down many miniature shards of ice, all directed at her. She then subsequently shot repeatedly at the ice shield, hoping to break it so that the rest could attack.

Tsurara was the one who did the most damage to Reiko, the hula hoop had several times almost bisected the old woman when she wasn't looking, the pipe fumed a nigh infinite amount of toxic gas, causing Reiko, who was the target of all of it, to hack wildly.

Her coughs made her pause temporarily, and each time she did so, a multitude of condensed powers would envelop her.

Surprisingly, she was still alive. Despite her arms being riddled with holes and gashes, her flesh singed and emitting black smoke.

In fact, her entire body was burnt. "Sh*t, this b*tch is persistent!" Anjou shouted, her breath ragged from trying to teleport behind Reiko.

Alas, she was caught and had nearly froze to death if not for her Stick. Seeing their waning lifespans, I knew it was my time to shine.

Other than using the Shoes Stick to dodge the icicles and a very useful kite shield Stick with the ability to deflect any physical attacks and absorb shock, the absorbed shock can then be converted into a shockwave.

That's why I had been tanking this whole time. Blood then streamed down my cheeks, activating all the absorbed shock.

"Everyone, get out of the way!" Light condensed at the middle of my shield, a massive energy ball that vibrated would obviously radiate an intense amount of heat.

But that was not all, I had also absorbed the attacks of my allies. Allowing it to be extremely dangerous, bringing forth an impactful blast five times that of a dynamite.

The three girls scattered, hiding behind my back. Inhaling, I then pushed forward releasing all the pent up energy.

Reiko; who had gotten the cue. Had built a massive dome of ice surrounding her. Thicker than the previous one.

But, this infernal attack of mine was very hot. I hypothesise that is near the melting point for glass.

Which, for a fact, was very hot. Water boiled away, sizzling as the ice melted and reformed at a rapid speed.

I had to admit, she was very prodigious in terms of using her Stick. But, it wasn't enough in front of me.

Once I saw her, instantly I raised the Gun up and shot at her wrist. Aiming for the Bracelet.

All movements stopped for a second as the remainder of the fireball and the smoke dispersed, leaving Reiko confused in the midst of it all.

Her crazed eyes glared at me, shouting aloud hysterically. She ran towards me, overcome with anger and wishing to wash away her shame.

Of course, none of the others let her as she was caught in the coordinated crossfire between the four of us.

In the end, not even her bones remained. Since that was all done, Hyoka and Tsurara laud listlessly on the floor, tired and injured greatly.

I bought out my Lamp Stick and took two Sticks with regenerative powers from my collection for their use.

And another two Sticks that were a duplicate of the Handbell and Glasses. Sporting the Glasses, I nodded towards Anjou.

She responded, also sporting her Glasses. "So, what will you two do now?" Anjou inquired the two girls, I knew that from now on, the future would change completely.

Even before all this I had made a plan. An ambitious one for sure, but with my Flask Stick, nothing was impossible.

Especially is that I knew of its True Extent. My Stick not only created functional duplicates, but wholly and completely created new objects from my imagination.

As long as they were considered 'objects' of course. In other words, I could essentially create my own Sticks with their own unique abilities.

But doing so required me to gather immense amounts of negative energy, as I had learned previously. Which could be staved off by stealing lifespan using the Gun Stick.

Prior to this discovery, this was all theoretical and in a way, a simple whimsical thought of mine. But I'm glad I did it, for I would have slaved away and did it the hard way.

Of course, this plan of mine was already quite difficult, all I had obtained was a shortcut.

"I'm not sure, Tsurara can't go back to school anymore. And I don't want to either, so we're kinda lost on that." Hyoka was distraught, her situation was troublesome.

I heaved a deep sigh and replied, "Well then, why don't you work with us?" The two were caught off guard, other than Anjou who I shared a common interest with, the other two were completely clueless on it.

"Kekeke, we share a common goal, him and I. And now, now you as well." Anjou extended her hand out towards them, as did I for a little dramatic flair.

"We, are going to destroy the Site." Anjou proclaimed, whipping a white mask out. "Under the guise of A, I had been distributing Sticks to others, all to discover the secrets of Mahou Shoujo Site." She explained.

But before she could finish, I interjected. "I am from the future, and the one who shall bring all the puzzle pieces together to defeat the King. What I wish for is to destroy them like they did for others." Of course, they were numb to this news, with all the strange things that had happened recently, this was one of the tamest ones.

"And you two are the very pieces we need. For we shall have you two infiltrate the council, and become our insiders. Working on both Sites." My last words puzzled them all, "What do you mean by that?"

I smiled, knowing that this was the time to reveal my plot. From my satchel, I took out a Laptop with two protruding curved horns at the sides of the bendable attachment.

This amused Anjou as she knew that all Sticks had a form of wings. On the centre of its back was white number five engraved and encircled in black.

"This here, is the culmination of my creativity. A true masterpiece."
