the start of the war(2)
The battlefield was a storm of blood and chaos. Magic surged in the air, bodies clashed, and the scent of fire and steel tainted the wind. Screams of pain and fury echoed across the vast expanse, but despite the carnage, every fighter on Dakota's side stood their ground.
But then, the air changed.
The battlefield, once filled with violent clashes, fell into an eerie silence. A wave of power, suffocating and absolute, rolled over the land like a tide of darkness. Even the devils seemed to falter as the overwhelming presence of four legendary figures manifested before them.
Standing amidst the chaos were Blazer, Fianna, Lisa, and their parents.
The sight of them sent chills through the warriors on Dakota's side.
Henry clenched his fists.
"So they finally show themselves."
Mia narrowed her eyes, gripping her staff tightly.
"It was only a matter of time."
Jack bared his teeth.
"This is where we end them."
But Dakota… Dakota just smirked.
Dakota:
"Ah… finally. Those two have appeared."
The true war was about to begin.
Dakota's team wasted no time. They immediately split up, each squad heading toward their destined opponent.
Liam, Jack, Amelia, and Luna rushed toward Lisa's father.
Duke and Fred charged at Lisa's mother.
Ava and her squad confronted Fianna, the Queen of Red flames.
And finally, Dakota, Henry, and Mia strode toward Blazer himself.
As they approached, Blazer chuckled, his golden eyes glowing with an unnatural brilliance. His presence was suffocating, an abyss of magic that twisted the very air around him.
Blazer:
"Well, hello there, creator. Looks like you've finally arrived."
Dakota's expression remained unreadable. His hands flexed slightly, power crackling at his fingertips.
Dakota:
"It's time we end this once and for all, Blazer."
Blazer's smirk widened, but he said nothing more.
Meanwhile, at the far side of the battlefield, Lucas finally found Lisa. His heart pounded, rage burning inside him as he stepped forward. The woman before him—his past tormentor, the one who had manipulated him, betrayed him—stood with the same smug expression she had always worn.
Lisa tilted her head, her lips curling into a smirk.
Lisa:
"Well, hello there, Lucas. Oh… or should I say, Ethan?"
The mention of his past name sent a jolt through Lucas's body. His jaw tightened, his fingers curling into fists as the hatred in his eyes burned even hotter.
Lucas:
"Don't you dare say my past name."
Lisa only chuckled, her red eyes gleaming with amusement.
Lisa:
"Oh, Lucas, you're still so predictable. You may have changed, but deep down, you're still the same fool who let me control you in the past."
Lucas growled.
Lucas:
"You may have fooled me and manipulated me in my past life… but now? Now, I swear that I'm going to kill you."
Lisa's smirk widened.
Lisa:
"You can try, Lucas. But I will kill you both in this current world… just like I killed you in the past."
Lucas stepped forward, his magic flaring around him.
Lucas:
"You can try… but it will never work."
The battle between them was inevitable.
Not far from where Lucas and Lisa stood, Liam and his team faced Lisa's father. He was an imposing figure, a man whose presence alone sent shivers down their spines. His expression was calm, almost mocking, as he looked at Liam.
Lisa's Father:
"Ah, Liam… or should I say, Alex? I remember how you were in the past, how you got manipulated by my daughter."
Liam's grip on his sword tightened. His memories of that time were still fresh, the pain of betrayal burning deep inside him. But now… he wasn't the same person.
Liam:
"Yes, I did get manipulated by your daughter… but now? Lucas will kill her. And just like that, I and my team will kill you, you son of a bitch."
Lisa's father smirked, his confidence unwavering.
Lisa's Father:
"Well… you can try, Liam. You can try… but it will not work."
Liam's eyes darkened, his grip tightening around his weapon.
Liam:
"Then we'll see, you fucking bastard."
Beside him, Jack's lightning crackled in the air.
Amelia's light magic shimmered, illuminating the battlefield.
Luna's water magic swirled, the air growing thick with moisture.
The battle between them was about to ignite.
Duke and Franklin closed in on Lisa's mother, who stood in eerie silence, watching them with an unreadable expression.
Duke spoke first, his voice laced with anger.
Duke:
"We've been waiting for this day, witch."
Franklin hefted his massive greatsword onto his shoulder, his eyes filled with cold fury.
Franklin:
"You won't be leaving this battlefield alive."
Lisa's mother exhaled softly, almost amused.
Lisa's Mother:
"So dramatic. But if you think you can kill me so easily, you're mistaken."
Duke's fist clenched.
Duke:
"We'll see about that."
The tension thickened, and in a flash, the battle between them began.
Fianna, the Queen of Red flames, stood like a crimson nightmare, her body covered in writhing tendrils of molten flesh. Her very presence was nauseating, her magic corrupting the very air around her.
Ava and her team stood their ground, unflinching.
Ava:
"Fianna. Your reign of terror ends today."
Fianna chuckled, her voice like the sound of bones cracking.
Fianna:
"Oh, little princess… you still think you can defeat me?"
Ava's flames surged, her eyes burning with defiance.
Ava:
"I don't think—I know."
Fianna's grin widened, her tendrils lashing out, eager for battle.
Fianna:
"Then come. Let's see how long you can last before you break."
And with that, their battle erupted into chaos.
The battlefield burned. Explosions of magic and steel shook the land, but in the center of it all, Dakota and Blazer stood still.
The two locked eyes, power radiating from their very bodies.
Blazer's smirk remained, his golden aura twisting and distorting the space around him.
Blazer:
"So, creator… do you finally see the futility of your struggle?"
Dakota's lips curled into a sharp grin.
Dakota:
"No. But I see the end of yours."
Blazer chuckled darkly.
Blazer:
"Then come, Dakota. Let's end this—once and for all."
Their magic surged, the world itself trembling as their battle began.
