Chapter 19: Remaining One
The seven find the Wind and Blood Sages pacing back and forth in front of the house.
Jack: "(confused) Why are you two worried?"
Wind Sage: "(shocked) We thought you were lost in the fog for forever!"
Jake: "(in head) I guess that's the reason the fog is there, an extra defense mechanism."
Jay: "(sighing) Well we're fine. Let's just let Jack get these three Runes and wait for this meeting to start."
Blood Sage: "W-We already told them about Jack ad they're currently waiting."
Jack and Eryth walk inside.
Wind Sage: "Are any of you going to watch?"
Jake: "I won't get another chance, so I'll go."
Joseph: "Yeah."
Jay: "(sighing) I'll stay out here."
Jason: "We'll be okay."
Jake and Joseph follow to find Jack readying for combat with his artifact.
Jake: "R-Right down to the point."
Jack begins tossing hunks of metal from his artifact like crazy.
Metal Sage: "Not bad with a Rune you've barely used kid!"
A metal wall erupts from the ground, shielding the Sages.
Shadow Sage: "Can't hit what you can't see."
Shadows cover Jack's eyes.
Jack: "(laughing) That's cute!"
Pink light dispels the darkness.
Jack: "(smiling) This is how you do it."
Jack sends a ball of black energy at their feet.
Mind Sage: "Dispel!"
Pink light repels it away.
Jack: "(smiling) I really hate to cut this short, but..."
Jack's aura appears.
Eryth: "You're really going to do this?"
Joseph: "He'll pass out again!"
Joseph attempts to tell Jack to stop, but Jake stops him.
Jake: "He won't."
Joseph: "(panicking) You've never seen him use Rune #15!"
Jake: "I have."
Jack's symbol becomes clearer than before, revealing the distinct shape of a Rune.
Jack/ Eryth: "Rune #15 Reality!"
The blast sends the three flying back before they could react.
Jack: "(smiling) I'll take care of those injuries real quick."
Jack begins to heal the wounds.
Joseph: "(shocked) How?!"
Jake: "There's a reason we sliced a path through the fog."
Eryth jumps onto Jack's shoulder after he finishes.
Eryth: "You've really made the Sages look like a bunch of amateurs."
Jack: "(laughing) Yeah."
As this entire battle settles down, there is an unexpected spectator in a nearby window.
???: "Confirmed. The chosen is C-137."
The man pulls out a small wristwatch with a screen as it displays what he just said.
???: "Best course of action, hold slave A-99 hostage back at the hideout."
It continues to record.
???: "Shall proceed with attack when the remaining seven are within the vicinity."
The words vanish as a small beep takes place, followed by the screen shutting down.
???: "All nuisances are currently here."
A large boat is seen by the shore.
???: "Targets are here. Awaiting for vulnerable state."
At the front, everyone is currently talking.
Jade: "Now hopefully we can locate Aqua after this meeting."
They see the boat.
Joseph: "(mumbling) Grandfather..."
Jason: "Did you say something Joseph?"
Joseph: "(startled) N-No."
Jake: "(in head) Almost to the final piece..."
