Chapter 41: Possession
The entire team of heroes, which included. Kai, Cole, Zane, Jay, Aaron, Clay, Axl, Macy and Lloyd and Jestro with Saber by their side, appeared at midnight in front of the abandoned warehouse.
(Y/N), who they did not see at the moment, was with them and stared at one of the broken windows, boarded up.
She could sense the presence of Peacebreaker, who was somewhere inside.
Saber is here to play the most important role of all. He is supposed to make (Y/N) able to touch people, but not be touched or hurt in return. (Y/N) will finish the forces of corruption and possess her to take control of her body.
There is part of a chance that this plan will succeed, or they will all die at the hands of the humanoid dragon.
Jay swallowed his saliva hard and clenched his hands into a fist.
- Did... should we?
- Yes. Let's move. - ordered Lloyd.
Kai, Cole, Clay and Macy took out flashlights to illuminate their surroundings. Saber asked Zane to turn on the flashlight on his head, which the nindroid did.
They all jumped over the mesh fence and headed for the large door, which was padlocked shut. Lloyd lit his fist and melted the lock.
He gently opened the door and everyone quietly stepped inside.
- Be alert. She is here somewhere. - whispered Clay, shining his flashlight in search of the creature.
- How dark it is here. - groaned Jestro, grabbing Axel's arm in a comforting gesture.
Zane looked around with his eyes, searching behind Peacebreaker.
- My sensors are detecting some kind of strange presence. A paranormal presence, but I think it's just our (Y/N), who standing next to us.
The ghost scoffed and shook her head and looked up, where she spotted a shadowy figure sitting on the ventilation shaft. Its wings were spread and it was looking at them like a bird of prey. She sat with her legs crossed and her palms folded together.
Saber looked at her friend confused that she was looking up with a slightly stressed expression on her face. He turned his head upward and the flashlight light lightly reached Peacebreaker's posture.
His ears drooped and his tail tucked between his legs.
- Erm... guys?
They all looked at him and looked up, directing the light of flashlights at Peacebreaker, which gave her an even more intimidating look.
Everyone swallowed and looked frightened at the corruption.
Peacebreaker sent them a frightening, malicious grin and her eyes shone.
-Well, well... What a meeting, League of Heroes! You have finally gathered the courage to visit me and face me.
- All the pleasure is ours. - replied Lloyd sarcastically.
Peacebreaker laughed darkly and sighed, flapping her wings slightly.
- Interesting... You are either the bravest people or the dumbest people in the world. You guys must be veeeery desperate to fight me.
Axl growled and roared. - We are not cowards, Peacebreaker!
Corruption rolled her eyes. - I can just see... which means you are stupid.
Axl growled and clenched his hands into fists and took a step forward, but Aaron stopped him and shook his head.
- Watch out giant or you'll catch me.... Besides, what is the reason for this nice visit of yours.... I have done nothing wrong.
Lloyd laughed sarcastically.
- You have something that belongs to us! - he growled.
- What is it, Son of Garmadon? Do you mean that bottle of Whiskey, that I swiped from the store.... - corruption began, picking up the bottle and shaking it, which was already empty. - But unfortunately.. it is already empty. - she muttered and dropped the bottle.
The heroes stepped back as the bottle shattered on the floor, where they had just stood.
- You own the body (Y/N)! We want it back! Now!!! - shouted Kai.
Peacebreaker raised an eyebrow at him. - Uuuu... but I'm scared... Now, now, Mr. Hot Head.... - she began and get up slowly. - I'll tell you what...? I will give you a chance to meet your sister, beloved and so on.... Once I end your lives, what will happen.... NOW!!!
Peacebreaker roared very loudly and looked angrily at everyone in turn, making them flinch.
They reached for their weapons and stood in a defensive position.
- You have already escaped your death for too long.... it's time to face it and accept it!!! I promise you won't feel anything, it's a matter of seconds.... Surrender or die!!! You will die in the fire of my vengeance!!!
She reached for her sword and swung it. She sent them a smile and disappeared in a blue streak.
After a moment she appeared next to Jestro, but Clay jumped and moved him out of the way. Everyone scattered, and Peacebreaker laughed.
Lance ran up with an attempt to impale her on the lance, but she grabbed part of it and pushed the knight away with a giggle.
Saber quickly ran and hid behind cardboard boxes to wait for her action.
Macy screamed and swung her mace at Peacebreaker, but she blocked the strike with her sword and pulled her back. Peacebreaker made several quick cuts at Macy, which she deflected with her shield.
Axl took advantage of her inattention and charged with Cole, and Peacebreaker disappeared in a streak, causing the two men to bump into each other and fall to the ground.
She appeared in front of Lloyd and took a swing, which he defended with his sword. Sparks red, went through the finish of the sword, but nothing else. Lloyd quickly kicked the dragon in the stomach and she bent in half.
Kai quickly ignited his fist and shot fire at the dragon, which she shielded with her wings without doing her any harm.
She quickly reached for Lloyd's collar and threw it against the container, making a dent.
Jay swung from behind Peacebreaker, but she blocked the incoming blade with her sharp tail without turning around.
She wrapped it around the blade and circled around, along with Jay, and let go, causing him to fly at the incoming Zane.
Suddenly, golden vines wrapped around the corruption and bound it. Peacebreaker growled and looked over her shoulder at Clay.
- Well, yes... knight- wizard.
She quickly teleported, making the vines disappear. Clay's eyes widened. Peacebreaker appeared behind him and brought her fist to his face, causing him to fall to the ground.
- Not enough for you what! - roared Peacebreaker.
Clay quickly disappeared in a streak and appeared behind the corruption. He grabbed her by the tail and in a swift motion hit her hard in the mouth. After that, he repeated the move, this time on the other one.
Peacebreaker growled and quickly summoned a red aura in her hand. She picked up Clay and threw him at the container.
She quickly turned around and summoned her tentacles, catching Macy, Jestro and Lance one by one, and started throwing them like dolls. She threw them against the ground with all her strength. If it weren't for the armor, their bones would have been broken in check.
They lay stunned on the floor. Peacebreaker's back was hit by the power of ice, which froze her in place. Then she hit the container hard as Kai slammed his fire-charged fist hard into the ice, shattering her prison. The impact was improved by Cole, who quickly jumped into the air and kicked her in the chest.
The dragon shook her head and quickly stood up, grabbing her sword, before she fell face-first into the container again when the power of energy and lightning struck her side.
Peacebreaker went into a double shock, and sparks went through her body. She fell with her back to the ground and groaned.
- Fuck... fuck... ouch... - she groaned as she rolled over onto her stomach.
The heroes stood with drawn weapons in front of her, aiming their blades at her.
- It's over, Peacebreaker. - growled Clay.
Peacebreaker looked at him already very pissed and her eyes began to glow blue. Her body began to glow blue.
- This is not a good sign. - said Kai with concern.
Suddenly, a wave of energy threw them into the air and they all flew on containers or poles. Peacebreaker laughed darkly and got up from the ground, as the heroes stunned, moaning in pain.
- You fools, did you really think you could beat me!!!? Well, here such a surprise.
Aaron looked with squinted eyes at Peacebreaker, who quickly picked Saber up with a magical aura and threw him to them. He banged his head against the metal and whined, as he landed next to Fox.
Peacebreaker slowly walked up to them and cast them an appraising look. She put her hands on her hips and shook her head in disapproval.
- So naive and foolish... are you really risking your worthless, pathetic lives for some weak princess? So unreasonable on your part.
- We... will always fight. No matter what. - sputtered Aaron.
Peacebreaker squinted at him and growled. She picked him up using her aura and pulled him to her. She looked daggers deep into his eyes to scare him, but he showed no fear.
- You are pathetic...all of you. You are pinning your hopes on a person who died a long time ago... come to terms with it kid. Your beloved has died. - she hissed like a snake.
- That's not true. She is alive and here. In front of me. - he answered confidently and glanced at the ghost (Y/N), who was smiling at him, however, with worry on her face about his life.
Aaron smiled. This is his (Y/N). Caring, funny and brave.
Peacebreaker growled and let him go.
- Pathetic... pathetic!!! The end of this!!! I will end it now!!! Time for revenge!!! - she roared and with a magical aura lifted them all up.
She pressed them against the wall with her magic, so that they could not move. They all groaned when they hit their heads against the wall. Peacebreaker laughed.
- It was nothing. You know what? The great benefit of these new skills, is that I can combine them. I will destroy you from the inside. Right now.
Saying this, she clenched her fists and the red aura turned dark blood red. Knights and ninjas began to whine and gasp in pain as they felt the powerful pressure on their bodies and the creasing of their bones.
- The power of these sound waves, which have both defensive and killing properties, and the aura, are really useful skills. Their combination creates... a cataclysm. Such a creative name, right? This power is so powerful, that there is no way you can survive it.
Macy shouted to Saber. - Saber! Use that ability of yours and summon her...! - she said between groans of pain.
- She's about to kill us! - cried Jestro.
The lion growled, trying to focus on the summoning (Y/N), but the pain in his body was unbearable. The panting lion closed his eyes, which he opened a moment later. They shone with a blue, heavenly light, and his body began to glow, with some patterns.
- I will not let... win.... Peacebreaker... Never...!!! - roared the lion in a very loud voice.
A white aura erupted from his body, which broke Peacebreaker's spell and everyone fell to the ground. Peacebreaker was pushed back.
The heroes took deep breaths, pawing at their chests, sitting on their knees, and looked at Saber. The patterns on his body had faded, as had his eye color.
However, a pair of sharp, curled horns had grown on his head. The mane on his forehead no longer fell so casually, but grew moody.
Corruption was taken aback, as were the lion's companions. She shook her head and growled loudly. She raised her aura again, to the unprepared enemy, and repeated her move.
The horns on Saber's head began to glow blue as he tried to summon the spirit. He looked determined at the corruption.
Peacebreaker smiled victoriously, as her countenance faded and she turned to see the ghost looking sharply at her.
- Oh, you are still alive! How this is possible!? You disappeared!!
- Probably my destiny, was to survive. - replied with calmness (Y/N).
Peacebreaker fully turned to her, releasing the spell, but the aura still held the league in check.
- Why didn't you escape? You have as much power as you want! - sneered Peacebreaker, glancing at Saber behind her.
(Y/N) was silent for a moment and looked down. She looked determinedly at Peacebreaker and clenched her hands into fists.
- I have no intention of running away from here. I just have one question. Why are you doing this? Why are you doing this?
Peacebreaker stopped and looked to the side.
- Because I like to kill and wreak havoc. Now I'm waiting for your friends under the influence of cataclysm to explode like balloons! - she replied, making an explosion sign with her hand.
(Y/N) stepped back worriedly, before pointing to the corruption.
- You are mad!!
- Yes and tonight, I will get rid of you today. Once and for all. - Peacebreaker said, picking up a piece of glass.
- You are wrong, Peacebreaker. If I don't do it, neither of us will and we will both die together. As one!!
Peacebreaker threw a piece of glass at the ghost and ran up. - I am stronger!
She punched (Y/N) in the chin, before delivering several blows to her face, but (Y/N) didn't budge. She caught the corruption's fist and hit her in the mouth with the top of her hand. She caught her around the waist and pushed her to the ground and punched her in the face. Peacebreaker kicked her in the stomach and knocked her off her feet.
(Y/N) hit the floor and didn't get up, giving Peacebreaker time to grab her sword. She slowly approached her and swung, to cut her. (Y/N) suddenly teleported behind Peacebreaker. Corruption roared, turning around and taking a sword swing, which (T/N) blocked with her hands.
With all her might, she tried a to stop it and hit it, but to no avail. (Y/N) she slammed Peacebreaker's blade into the floor, making it jam. She charged her fist with energy and hit its evil side, pushing it against the container.
(Y/N) approached Peacebreaker's stunned body and watched her for a moment. She put both hands on her head and jaw and closed her eyes, wanting to penetrate her body.
Peacebreaker abruptly opened her eyes and (Y/N) quickly, using force, tightened her grip on her jaw, then threw her away.
Corruption quickly jumped in space and firmly grabbed (Y/N)'s arm and twisted it behind her back and pressed her face to the floor.
(Y/N) hit her in the stomach with her elbow and freed herself from her grasp. The yellow ninja and sat up, rubbing her shoulder, before she raised her gaze and widened her eyes. Peacebreaker moved to attack with a roar, and (Y/N) quickly looked at her sword, thrust in beside her. She picked it up quickly and cut her face. Corruption turned her back on her opponent, keeping her hands on the wound.
She straightened up and turned to face the ghost. She had a terrible cut on her face. It went through her face, which was bleeding heavily. Blood ran down her lips, which she licked and hissed like a snake.
- You will never defeat me.
(Y/N) looked at her with calmness and great seriousness. She clenched her fist.
- We will see.
- You can't!
Both moved forward and blocked their blows. They stared at each other with determination. The battlefield quieted down and the ninjas and knights watched the scene unfold with poignancy, still pinned to the wall.
The horns on Saber's head began to spark, indicating that Saber's power was about to run out. The lion gasped and wheezed, trying to hold the spell as long as possible.
- (Y/N) hurry up! I'm running out of power!
The fight has resumed again. (Y/N) kicked Peacebreaker in the stomach and pushed her away.
- You will never beat me, princess!!! I am better than you!!! - roared Peacebreaker, standing in a defensive position.
- That will prove to be the case, Peacebreaker said. - she called out (Y/N) and her hands began to glow with a more intense blue light.
Magical vines wrapped around Peacebreaker, forcing her to kneel down. Corruption began to growl and struggle, but it did nothing. What's more, she couldn't teleport or control them.
- What's going on!? Why can't I do anything!!!?
- Because we are one, Peacebreaker. You summoned on yourself, your magic creepers that I! I can control. Checkmate! Now...! I will get back what belongs to me...! My life...!
- NO!!! DON'T!!! - roared the corruption, as the body (Y/N) turned into mist and began to circle around her.
The fog began to circulate even faster, spreading a dusting of cement.
- YOU CAN'T BEAT ME...! NOT AFTER THAT TIME...!
The fog wrapped around Peacebreaker, like a snake. The outline of a face appeared in the fog before it quickly penetrated Peacebreaker's body, taking control. Corruption let out its last roar before the glaring dawn spread throughout the warehouse.
Peacebreaker's spell stopped working and everyone fell to the floor.
Saber's magic has completely stopped working. They all looked at each other and approached Peacebreaker's body, which was lying on its back on the floor. They stared at her face with hope and slight fear.
The eyes of corruption fluttered before they opened. However, there was one small but noticeable change. Her eyes were no longer yellow, but beautiful, clear (E/C).
She rose with a groan and grabbed her forehead.
She shook her realization and looked at her hands, gasping happily.
- I... came back...
She looked at the others in shock and joy.
- I'M BACK!!!
Everyone shouted with joy and jumped up excitedly. Axl lifted her off the ground and hugged her tightly, crushing her bones.
- Axl... you are strangling...! But also... I'm happy to see you.
The giant let go of her and everyone threw themselves into a group hug.
- You're back!
- Finally!
- You always have to do some offbeat action, huh!?
- Nice to have you back!
Everyone left the embrace and (Y/N) looked at Aaron, who was smiling broadly. She walked over to him and smiled awkwardly.
- Hi... love.
Aaron quickly grabbed her hand and hugged her close. (Y/N) somewhat surprised, she returned the strong, comforting hug.
- You're back... and that's what counts.... I missed you.
- Me too, Aaron... Me too...
The princess is back. Their (Y/N) came back to them. Things are finally starting to get simpler. They finally have the power to fight and the hope that things can be fixed after all.
