Flashback
Zion: Echo, your magic allows you to manipulate your voice, correct?

Echo: Yes. I mimic any sound I've heard before. Is there something you need me for?

Zion: I found out that a Knight leads those peasants that make up the enemy army and are in fact using the Church's pills. I want you to mimic his voice and bark any order to cause confusion.

Echo: Are you sure that's a good idea?

Zion: I believe you can do it Echo. When you helped me with a marching song, you managed to mimic 3 different instruments while singing.

Zion gives Echo a head pat, causing the latter to blush.

Zion: This won't be a challenge for you, so go out there and be the best copycat you can be. I assigned Nightingale to keep you invisible, so there's nothing to fear
Flashback end

Echo: Swallow your pills now!

Hearing this, the peasant soldiers all take their pills. This caused them to go out of control and nearly attack Levin and Lehman.

Lehman: Levin, what did you do?!

Before Lehman can react, he feels a presence behind him. It's the same presence he felt before when he heard the mysterious voice. The fog dissipates to reveal Nightingale, who has her revolver's barrel pointed at Lehman's head. 

Nightingale: It's high noon...

*BANG*

Faster than the paralyzed Lehman could react, Nightingale shot him in the head and jumped off the horse. Levin looks at Lehman's corpse in shock, only hearing the bang but not seeing the bright flash of light. The pill-enhanced soldiers don't pay any mind, only hearing Levin's voice giving them orders.

Echo: Charge! Head towards the center and break enemy lines! Anything you loot is yours to keep!

Levin: Wait, I didn't say that! Wh...what the hell's going on?!

Echo: Kill them! Everything will be ours!

Levin: 'It has to be a Witch! That bastard Roland has been tempted by the Fangs of the Devil!' Halt everyone, halt!

But none of them listened. They continued their reckless charge into Border Town's enemy lines. Levin kills one of the berserk men attempting to kill him as he grits his teeth.

Levin: The Witch who killed Lehman can't be the same one doing this. When I catch them, I'll wring their throats with my bare hands! Damnit, we have to use that stupid bitch...

Scene change
The pill-enhanced soldiers charge into Border Town's bunkers, only to be met with cannon fire, rifle volleys, and Zion's brute force. One handless berserker constantly chants kill, only for Zion to grab him by the face and smash his head against the ground.

Zion: Keep firing at these bastards! They may act like demonic beasts, but they're still humans!

Zion watches the bullets fly and kill the berserkers.

Zion: Brian's gotten better with his aim and speed. He was able to kill that crazed Knight with a single well-placed shot.

Suddenly, however, the soldiers throw their short spears. Zion managed to deflect them with his cleaver and turtle shell while the First Army was protected by the bunkers. One spear managed to pierce his shell, but only left a superficial pierce wound on his skin. He takes the spear out and looks at it, becoming confused at the light blue aura coming from it.

Zion: What the fuck?

???: Oh? You didn't die? As expected of an ability user.

Zion looks up to see a woman smirking at him with an aura of arrogance. She's a beautiful woman with fair skin, long blonde hair, and ocean-blue eyes. Her attire consists of a white blouse with a blue skirt and a leather belt. The collar of her blouse is the same blue as her skirt and metals decorate the white shirt of hers. Connected to her skirt is a pair of dark brown suspenders and on her hip is a saber with a gold hilt and black grip. 

Zion: Who the hell are you?

The woman scoffs and stands with her hand on her sword.

Woman: If you must know, I am Selene. I'm a Witch who was cleansed of my sins by the Church and now I find other sisters for them to cleanse.

Zion: I'm gonna take a wild guess and say you're here to look for any Witches?

Selene: Correct. Though, I'll have to bring you back as well. I can sense you've been corrupted by the Witches, both body and soul. Someone who uses an ability is a gift from God and it pains me to see you in this state. 

Zion smirks and starts taking off parts of his armor as he speaks.

Zion: I don't think so. I refuse to become a lapdog for a bunch of kiddie diddlers.

Selene grits her teeth and points her saber at Zion, glaring at him for his comment.

Selene: You dare accuse the Church of something so foul?! I'll bestow divine judgment upon your wretched soul and ensure you're cleansed!

Zion: Come at me Witch!

Selene charges at Zion with her sword brandished. Zion dodges and slams her back, causing her to crash against the ground. Selene recovers quickly and thrusts her sword, stabbing Zion in the shoulder. Said male jumped back to gain some distance and looked at his wound.

Zion: It's deep. Deeper than what a normal sword can do to me...

Selene: It's my magic. I can temporarily enchant weapons with my power so long as I pray for forgiveness. My blade was blessed to hold an enchantment permanently.

Zion: 'That explains the spear she threw at me.'

Zion dodged to avoid another one of her thrusts, still feeling the sting from her earlier attack on him. Grabbing one of the fallen Knight's swords, he parries a slash from her and gives her a harsh Spartan kick in the stomach. Selene doubles over and Zion drops his elbow on her back.

Selene: Ack-!

She gets cut off by Zion delivering a punch to her jaw, knocking her onto her back. Zion goes to give the finishing blow, but he jumps back to avoid the enchanted spears thrown by the pill-enhanced soldiers. Before he could do anything, Selene pierced Zion's abdomen with her sword, causing the male to take a knee in pain.

Selene: Accept your punishment, you wretched sinner. Once Roland is killed by the Church's soldiers, you and the sisters here will be reborn as vessels of God's will. 

Zion: No.....I refuse to be the puppet of a Church.

Much to her shock, Zion slowly gets up, not even caring about the sword in his stomach. Even if the enchanted blade is searing his flesh, his sheer anger at the thought of being a puppet and tool makes him ignore all of it. He started shifting his body at a slow and grotesque pace due to the blade. The head of a Tiger, the muscles of a Polar Bear, the horns of a Ram, the tail of a Pangolin, the claws of an Armadillo, and the body of a Demon all in one form. Selene looks at Zion in horror, her magic losing its effect from the sheer fear at the thing in front of her.

Selene: D....Demon!

With a mighty roar, Zion charges at Selene, cleaving his way through any pill-enhanced soldiers who stand in his way. Due to the pills, they didn't register fear properly and kept attacking, determined to slay Zion with the use of their enchanted spears. Though he does get some gashes and wounds, it's nothing too major as his rage doesn't let him register it. With a mighty swat, he cuts down an entire group of soldiers and continues to do so, scaring Selene even more. Even the soldiers who try something akin to stealth get killed by the magic snakes he summons.

Selene: H...how can he use magic?! Only women are Witches!

Zion stops his murderous rampage and sets his sights on Selene, whose pupils dilate in utter terror. With a roar, he gets onto all fours and charges at Selene. She attempts to run with the support of the pill-enhanced spear-throwers, but Zion flings numerous snakes at them and slashes her back. Selene falls to the ground in pain and tries to run away, only to come to a horrid realization.

Selene: M...my legs....I can't feel my legs!

Zion: *heavy breathing*

Selene slowly looks up and sees Zion's Tiger head staring directly at her. He grabs her arm and brings it to his mouth, taking a deep bite and making her give a blood-curdling scream. He yanks her arm out of the socket and sits on her back, gorging himself on her flesh. Any soldiers who try to interrupt his meal get killed easily and some of them are eaten. Eventually, he finishes eating her and gets confronted by several pill-enhanced knights. Smirking, despite the Tiger's head, he roars at the challenge and charges at them with murderous glee.

Aftermath
The battle is over and the sun hasn't even set. Out of all of Border Town's soldiers, there were only six casualties and each was treated in time. Zion was in fact one of the casualties due to his opponents wielding enchanted weapons, but Nana's healing magic let him recover quickly and aid the First Army in killing the remaining Knights of Longsong Stronghold. In order to prevent something like this from happening again, Roland called Zion and Petrov Hull to create a plan.

Zion: Let's see here...building an army, constructing an actual road, universal education...is that all?

Rolan: Yes, that's all he needs to do. Sir Zion and I will be returning back to Border Town. Work hard Mr. Ambassador and don't let me down again.

Petrov: Ah, yes Your Highness! What should we do with those captives we locked up?

Zion: In my opinion, I say leave them be. They won't live long anyway. 

Timeskip
Everyone was on Border Town's specially-made concrete ship.

It was fairly early, but Roland and Zion were on the bow of the ship. Zion was there because he didn't need much sleep, but he was curious as to why Roland was out this early.

Zion: You could've slept in a little bit longer, still upset at civilians using those pills?

Roland grits his teeth and grips the rim of the ship, confirming Zion's theory.

Roland: Timothy forced them to use them...If they hadn't been controlled by others and taken those pills, they wouldn't have had to die in an unfamiliar land.

Zion: It wasn't your fault Roland...

Roland: Even if it wasn't my fault, there will be more sacrifices in Timothy's fight for the throne. Church is going to have to pay for making the pills in the first place.

Zion: It sounds like you're going to destroy the Church. You're doing it so everyone can get along huh?

Roland: Timothy forced them to use them...If they hadn't been controlled by others and taken those pills, they wouldn't have had to die in an unfamiliar land.

Zion: It wasn't your fault Roland...

Roland: Even if it wasn't my fault, there will be more sacrifices in Timothy's fight for the throne. Church is going to have to pay for making the pills in the first place.

Zion: It sounds like you're going to destroy the Church. You're doing it so everyone can get along huh?

Roland smiles a little.

Roland: Yeah, that's right.

Zion: Don't worry Roland. On my honor as your personal guardian and the guardian of the Witch Union, I will aid you to ensure your dream becomes reality.

Zion gets on one knee and bows, making Roland chuckle a little. The prince then clears his throat and rests a hand on Zion's shoulder.

Roland: Then I, Roland Wimbledon, hereby accept your declaration and aid for as long as you desire. 

Unknown to the boys, all of the Witches who participated looked at them with smiles.
