Once And Forever
Drake walked over to the Magic Academy. Demon's half was quite nervous, but he went with his host's motives. They had to get the Sage's Tower to help them fight Camilla, Razanil, and as many Thirrals as possible.
Filiana was sitting in the main office.
"Welcome to the Magic Academy, come take a visito-..."
Filiana saw Drake's other half, and then screamed. She summoned a geyser of boiling hot water, and threw it at Drake, who defended with ice.
"Filiana, I came to talk to you about something. We need to bring the Three Sages here as well."
Drake sat down, and soon saw Melchior enter with Delphina. The two sat down, and Drake asked Delphina to fetch Dilma and Fatima.
The green-haired girl left, and Melchior looked at Drake. "So, Chronicler. What happened with half your body?"
Drake closed his eye, and kept Demon's eye open. "We became one. The scar is still present."
After Demon answered, Dilma and Fatima walked in with Delphina and Trismegistus.
"Drake? Demon? What was it you two wanted to talk about?"
Demon closed his eye. "Camilla's attack is soon. We need reinforcements to fight as many monsters as she can summon. Thirral clones are also going to be frequent, as nobody knows where the real one is. We came here to ask for reinforcements. The Holy Capital is the next place I'm going to go to. We need as many troops as possible so we can end this, once and forever."
Filiana released some tears and wiped her eyes. "To avenge all the deaths that fateful day. For Claudia, and all the others that were sent to purgatory. I will not back down."
Melchior applauded. "That's our three star professor! We will help you. Come here immediately if there are any attacks. We will devote this time to train."
There was a knock on the door.
"Come in," answered Dilma.
There was a silence as two people walked in, Both with blue hair and blue eyes. One was a man, and the other was a woman.
"Katya, Isaiah. You two are in charge of the students training in the Tower of Destiny. Velnar and Fortenata are in charge of the people training in the Tower of Might. Yuni and Delphina will be in charge of the Tower of Life. We will be honing our skills to fight off Camilla," requested Melchior.
"Thank you. We will take our leave," the two souls said in unison.
Drake and Demon flew to the Holy Capital. The body landed in front of the gate, and Drake opened his eyes.
"I'd like an audience with Juliana."
The guards at the gate escorted Drake to the queen's chamber. Drake knocked on the door, and Juliana answered.
"Your Highness, I need to speak to you and your head guards."
Juliana let Drake in, and called for two people.
Shortly after the announcement, said two people came in. "Ah, Einslotte, Louise! We have to discuss the final Demon raid. Come in."
A man clad in armor with green hair, and a woman with pink hair, also clad in armor came closer to the bed.
Louise came to the conclusion of helping Drake after she heard him speak one word. "Just tell us when the battle is, and we will come."
Drake took out a pen and some paper. "We plan on attacking in a few days"
Meanwhile, Dream was planning their first solo live.
Night knocked on the door. Synta opened the door, and asked him what he was doing.
Night apologized for intruding. "I'm sorry, but have you seen Kas?"
Alysa got up and checked the map. "He should be in the training hall, sparring with Lex. It's in the basement, last door in the center. No way to miss it."
Night found a map outside, and he walked to the basement. He saw a sliding door, and opened it.
Kas and Lex were sparring with one another with Khaston watching.
"Umm, Kas?"
The two idols stopped sparring, and Kas walked over to Night.
"You wanted to see me?"
Night nodded, and explained about the final battle.
"Oh? You plan on ending the war soon? Just tell me when the attack is, and I'll be there."
Night thanked Kas for agreeing to fight Camilla, and he left following the signs.
Suul stopped Night before he left.
"Make sure my boy doesn't die in the battle."
Night told the manager he will make sure that doesn't happen, and he left.
Lex walked over to Suul. "Dad? What was the prince talking about? Is he talking about the battle?"
Suul nodded. "Kas is going alone to help defeat the Demon of the End."
Darkness struck the universe. All of the leaders of every faction met in Bareahard.
Alice and Geysis were sitting at the end of the table. Kas and Rean were on the other side.
"We need to discuss the battle plan for the final attack. How should this go through?"
Trismegistus was the first to give her suggestion. "We bring our brutes to the front lines. Have the healers in the middle, and all of the ranged attackers surround them. Every Awakener can fly over, and get into the hideout by surprise!"
Rean countered the Sage's suggestion. "We don't know where it is. How can the flying people storm the area without the necessary location?"
Juliana then added on. "Let's follow any trails of footprints. If they go across our path, then that's the direction. If there are no footprints, then we will be lost."
Geysis added on to Juliana's statement. "I have a high tier insight spell. We can stay in my range to keep the path. However, since the last battle was in the sky, we will have no clue where the battle could be this time."
Dilma thought about transport. "It will be an awfully long way. How will we transport everyone?"
Everybody stayed silent. Soon, Fatima broke the silence. "We could use that ship we used to slay the Black King in the past. I'll operate it. Transport is large enough for six thousand troops at once."
Jusis, who was supervising the meeting, then asked a simple question. "How will we keep this ship operational?"
Fatima then pulled out her broom, and then used a time spell. "I can constantly recharge the fuel with my magic."
Rean saw Laura walk in. "Sorry I'm late, but my father plans on bringing all twenty thousand of the troops. We will have to find another method of transport in the masses."
Dilma agreed. "That's true. Our number of troops are in the tens of thousands. Every nation is in this battle. It's all or nothing. Fatima, get the ship ready. I'm going to clone it into ten."
After everyone agreed to the situation, every leader left to make preparations.
Shi was at the Magic Academy, alone. Dilma saw him, and asked him to fetch his friends. He came back after five minutes.
Dilma got straight to the point. "We need all of you to pilot the ships. I will also need three more to pilot the rest of the ships. These ships will board every troop, so return is not necessary. I will have Melchior, Fatima, and myself pilot the last. With your help, every troop can make it safely to slay Camilla."
The next morning passed, and every guard was training. Every magician was getting their stamina up, and the healers were reading spell books. Bertha was making sure training went as planned, and Dilma was teaching everyone how to pilot the ship. Melchior was absent and Trismegistus was there in his stead.
Melchior was walking around, seeing everybody's progress.
In the Holy Capital, Juliana and Einslotte were supervising training. Louise was also training, as she was prepared to do anything for the Holy Queen's safety, even if it meant dying to save her.
Einslotte walked over to the Holy Guard. "Don't mess up. Life is a battlefield. We only get one shot."
After saying those words, Einslotte began to spread the wisdom to the other 16 Holy Orders.
Geysis ordered stamina potions to keep himself conscious even when he overused his spells. He also sharpened his knives, and cleaned his feathers. After getting them, he went back to the castle, where he saw Night and Skye training.
Geysis smiles, and soon he saw Drake and Sergio training. He went to his room to put everything in a bag, and then polished his knives and his gun blades.
Alice opened the door. "Geysis, make sure everybody comes back safe. We can't take another death. Light's death was found out and the press is going berserk. I leave the safety of every leader in your hands."
Geysis stayed silent. "Everything is being found out? How and who is doing all this?"
Alice pulled out a mask. "This black mask with dried blood on it was present. Judging by identification magic, the blood belonged to Emosho."
Geysis remembered every death vividly. "He was present when Night was kidnapped by Ciardha. His life was also sacrificed to help Zephu."
Phoebe was flying with Arius and Zephu. "We need to fight our hardest. Everybody's life is at stake once more."
Arius closed his eyes, and landed on Zephu's back. "The war has had many turns, and we all have changed."
Arius opened his red eye. "It's the final battle. The final Demons are really on edge. We need to come back alive."
Hours passed, and everybody met up at the Magic Academy, weapons sharpened.
"It's time. Now or never, the universe is at stake here. Let's take this eternal war to an end. In the name of our deity, let's end this. Now!"
Everybody began loading onto the ships. Fatima opened the gate to the Royal Capital, which had been intact, ever since Haru, Aster, Ren, Rem, Leo, Jade, Amatsu, Emma, and Light had explored the rebuilt Royal Capital.
With their minds straight, everybody began to fly to the Royal Capital.
Five minutes passed, and everybody landed at the Royal Capital. As expected, one million Thirral clones were present.
Geysis took out a knife. "Everyone, attack! Give the flyers a chance to get in!"
Every Thirral was armed with a greatsword.
Geysis transformed, and cast Killer Doll: Infinite Wave to pave a way for the flyers to get past into the next room.
Aster kicked the Thirral clones and kept shooting them, and paved more paths.
Night grabbed Skye's hand, and the two ran to the inside of the Imperial Castle. Phoena and Emma followed, then Anzu and Lutum. Eventually, Geysis came in.
Aster kept shooting, and then took out a bazooka. He began shooting explosives, which began to explode upon impact.
Kas flew into the castle, followed by Drake, who unleashed Demon. "Host, we are now in. Let's get in quickly, and kill Camilla!"
Phoebe came in with a Thirral clones being slammed to the wall, killing it instantly.
"Haru and Leo are on their way. Aki is keeping Thirral back.
Haru and Leo arrived, and soon, Kira came in. An explosion blocked the entrance to the castle, preventing more from entering. The twelve walked over to the wall, and Kira busted it down, revealing an extra path of stairs. Everybody went up the stairs, and Ciardha was at the corner. He followed them, and made sure to not make a sound.
The next obstacle was the real Thirral.
"I presume you're the real one this time?"
Thirral nodded. "I am the real one."
Demon had his swords ready. "Everybody, go. I'll handle it."
Trusting Drake, the eleven then ran past the Demon of Ash, following her ash trail. "Our battle will begin soon. Prepare yourselves."
Kas saw Drake fighting Thirral. "I'm going to help Drake."
The idol walked towards Thirral, and fought.
Camilla was waiting for the ten to come. "You must be ready to take my life. Very well. You must get to me, before the castle caves in on itself."
A bomb caved the wall in, blocking the path to Camilla.
"The world will face its divine punishment."
Camilla brought out her wand, and began charging power. She flew up to the roof, where she will wait.
"Hurry, to the roof!"
The ten would then be running to the roof to fight Camilla. Seconds turned to minutes, and after five minutes, they all arrived.
Camilla summoned two Demons: Haven and Razanil.
Razanil exploded some arrows under Kira, Emma, and Phoebe, forcing them to plummet to the lower level.
Night took out his father's scythe. "In the names of everybody who died, we will end this madness!"
Razanil fires an arrow at Night, but is deflected. Geysis threw some knives at the three Demons, and then shot at Haven.
"Lady Camilla, summon Ciardha. I need to make sure my wish is fulfilled."
Haven then retreated, but came back, stronger than ever. She fired six meteors at Skye, but was countered by Geysis casting Burning Frost. Emma fires six dark pulsations at the Demons, and paralyzed Razanil. Quickly, Skye went in for the kill.
Skye summoned the beast, and Geysis enhanced it.
Demon and Kas were fighting off the real Thirral, and then Kas threw the Demon to the ground.
Outside, many soldiers and wizards were fighting off every clone, who for some reason, were way stronger than the real one.
Thirral brought herself to her feet, but was then countered by Geysis casting Killer Doll through the window, killing the Demon, before his knives came up through the ground.
The sky became red.
Everybody saw the upcoming doom, and then Laura asked Aster to stop it.
Shooting at it, Aster tried to destroy the meteor. Geysis cast Burning Frost, But did not bring it to the other course. Geysis transformed, and threw his bullets at Camilla.
During the time of the battle levels below, Thirral was killed when Drake destroyed her from dark magic. He and Kas ran to the roof, and soon, Kas tangled Camilla, before throwing her to the ground level, killing the Demon of the End from the impact.
Haven signaled for Ciardha to come out, and the bounty hunter did as he was told: absorb Camilla's power, before returning to the shadows.
Every Thirral clone returned to ash, and Kira brought Phoebe and Emma to their feet. "Let's get out of the castle. Everybody is outside."
Aki trapped Haven in a strong gravity well from the lower level, and then used explosive magic to destroy the castle.
Haven and everybody else then fell to the ground level, each suffering different injuries to their bodies. Skye was the only one safe.
Night landed with his scythe under him, the blade deep into Haven's heart.
"Every last Demon is now dead. The war against the gods and the Demons is over!"
Every guard alive cheered.
The guards helped the injured, and Kira kept supporting Emma with her sprained ankle.
Everybody returned to their homes, and gave themselves some time in the Ymir hot springs. Everyone was so worn out from Camilla's army, that they needed something as a reward for ending the war. Emma and Phoena were both happy to be back in the springs.
"Kira and Quaid's wedding is soon. Let's get prepared for it tomorrow."
After an hour of sitting in the refreshing water, most of the massive party all left, leaving Night, Geysis, Kira, and Drake.
"Drake, was that you fighting Thirral?" Kira asked, not knowing that Drake and Demon are one.
Demon's more masculine voice came out of Drake. "No, that wasn't Host. I'm Demon."
Several minutes passed, and everybody left the hot springs. They got dressed, and then returned home.
