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..."
