Anthony: “Your voice…”1051Please respect copyright.PENANAw7ROIK2hXM
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAPuL0itIKLd
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAMCEm3Qr4Z6
Anthony: “So, you’re our predecessor. I don’t know how you possessed Nao without Arc but I don’t care. Me and Artemis can take you.”
1051Please respect copyright.PENANATQjAi7Xj0j
1051Please respect copyright.PENANA2XZ7Y9qaNu
Alphon: “Artemis? Ha! That crazy bitch found herself another replacement for her dead husband. Poor ma-”
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAUiWWSaKmZE
*Boom*1051Please respect copyright.PENANA0tDCg42d4i
1051Please respect copyright.PENANA1nl2caEau2
Artemis: “Shut up…”
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAcuJZBadD3M
1051Please respect copyright.PENANA9SNziAn7yH
Alphon: *Whistle*
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAnEJw5Si2Ib
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAl9qJpIYSfg
Alphon: “Good thing you’re a terrible shot.”
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAMl1WBzoZ6n
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAjPWLNG3WhJ
Anthony: “I already can guess her circumstances. There’s no way someone this powerful would willingly marry me.”
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAB38JUblbqx
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAU70ZIznSSP
Artemis: “Oh honey, you’re so understanding. I love you even more.”
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAFdnOalcgYx
1051Please respect copyright.PENANA8ToA8acgRU
Anthony: “…Sure.”
1051Please respect copyright.PENANARXO6mX6XJI
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAc16baN5Sjf
Artemis: “Don’t pout love. I know what will make us happy, how about some more murder.”
1051Please respect copyright.PENANA7YkrPpBHyB
1051Please respect copyright.PENANA4FpkoALX8s
Alphon: “Man, stop switching so much. It’s creepy.”
1051Please respect copyright.PENANALdG82wtFWL
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAJTyGpjhvMh
Artemis: “Tch.”
1051Please respect copyright.PENANArWajyyBTUS
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAaU3xrusA7E
Anthony: “I rather not kill you when you’re possessing Nao. But I’ll do what I must.”
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAAIaFHMgV1B
1051Please respect copyright.PENANA1FUenMkByu
Alphon: “So you’ll fight me first?”
1051Please respect copyright.PENANARMZab0FgH0
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAuDEz1BFsIc
Anthony: “…Why not? Despite her protests, I want to see how strong you were.”
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAQGaMDk5xPg
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAlt6eh1a4B0
Alphon: “I see. Well, don’t be blown away too quickly.”
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAvlHgjDL5CS
1051Please respect copyright.PENANA76rzWbyYje
Alphon teleports, actually teleports, behind Anthony and back fists him through multiple classroom walls. I can hear distant lightning strikes waking Anthony up after that powerful blow.
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAFFduUROHfI
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAhTn1KS7qoq
Alphon: “Man you can’t take a hit. If you keep shocking yourself awake this won’t take long.”
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAX0rJ37hYwD
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAorZFzQ6Fqy
Anthony pushes rumble off himself and coughs up some blood.
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAQfo2OoqXVH
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAS1EJeXHvgR
Anthony: “How can…you use spells without Arc?”
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAH067cQvevC
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAuB9JRIUtjE
Alphon: “Arc is now really a source of magic kid. If you know how to cast yourself then Arc just makes things easier. I’ve learned everything Arc has to teach.”
1051Please respect copyright.PENANA2MmXphuSEp
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAFK00aB2Cj6
Anthony: “…No Artemis, one more time.”
1051Please respect copyright.PENANA2ABoIcqb1k
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAnoPAPGOOBe
Anthony unleashes a barrage of lightning blasts but they simply bounce off of Alphon’s transparent shield.
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAs0Hoer0KDA
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAvA49EfvwdB
Alphon: “Better let Artemis fight kid, you might not survive the next one.”
1051Please respect copyright.PENANABaxEMfIZ8t
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAOJJHfFEbMF
Don’t kill him!
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAfvIFmW57K9
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAPclZxyARWZ
Alphon: “Don’t worry, I’ll try simple spells. But you gotta let me stretch my legs.”
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAyxfykkTTXl
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAiAO6uuUPqa
As Alphon says that, multiple globes of fire appear around him. He points at Anthony and the fireballs start chasing him. Anthony dodges most and blows up the few that get too close.
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAgTfJNmSMrC
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAAOYDzPr8kX
Alphon: “Keep running kid! Make it fun, it hasn’t even been a minute since we started.”
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAh68wlTDR8l
1051Please respect copyright.PENANA7gfC0NvtLV
Anthony: “Tch.”
1051Please respect copyright.PENANATk1FutEPnT
1051Please respect copyright.PENANArp9DI0wgK6
Anthony stops running and charges up lightning in his palm. Any fireballs that get close get destroyed by the lightning filling the area around him.
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAg1bnCM1DTd
1051Please respect copyright.PENANARyIqCdnqOy
Alphon: “Sure, why not old fashioned clash.”
1051Please respect copyright.PENANADumsCXP5WV
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAxisDP4PSfU
Alphon points a finger at Anthony and charges blue energy. The energy sends ripples through the water around his feet and burns the air.
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAoeM2AulSCq
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAc08UyGNbaQ
Anthony: “Thunderous Cataclysm!”
1051Please respect copyright.PENANA3aXsc3FxDM
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAP6xx2khwXH
A purple storm of lightning and death races towards Alphon. It rips apart and burns everything in its path. But Alphon only smiles at this.
1051Please respect copyright.PENANA5GJ7OsEXxF
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAZrx6kkak57
Alphon: “Magic Cannon.”
1051Please respect copyright.PENANALXgde2pdGX
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAncoDkBE6E2
The energy in his finger first shrinks into nothing before ballooning into a massive wave of magical energy. It collides with Anthony’s attack which shatters all the grass in the building.
1051Please respect copyright.PENANA9UhtCD7Tmq
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAsKE5c4e8j3
The sound of it was deafening. For that fragile moment, nothing moved and nothing breathed. It was silent and dead. As reality went mad from the power on display. But it was a moment, an infinitely small moment in time. It must pass.
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAlilOkHvqbJ
1051Please respect copyright.PENANA8nSOcMzTxf
And it did, the magic cannon ripped through Anthony’s attack and erased everything in its path. That entire part of the school…gone…just like that.
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAvWXzp5e2fB
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAEHB4yW4VvN
What…have you done?
1051Please respect copyright.PENANA4535iPWvIN
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAoVUtm7z5VU
Alphon: “Don’t worry, I made sure there was no one left in that. The ones there I used long-range teleport to move them elsewhere.”
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAHsADFnTGWG
1051Please respect copyright.PENANA12udW3LSFX
And what about Anthony!?
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAWAu1uCmsAM
1051Please respect copyright.PENANASXR41cPZxR
Alphon: “I’m sure Artemis will save him. That attack was too weak to end them both.”
1051Please respect copyright.PENANA2d6ECFpILi
1051Please respect copyright.PENANACQWufcb002
Weak?
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAGoSxAmsQl6
*Drip*1051Please respect copyright.PENANAZsDMFdupqx
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAwoPiqQK64e
Alphon touches his nose and again, it’s bleeding.
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAovqLmSgLqX
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAlqgPROkrVT
Alphon: “You gotta be-”
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAQlT6Z0rq74
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAWFsYfjAGLB
A flash of purple light from the lights above catches Anthony off guard. From it, a being of purple electricity escapes into our reality. That being soon forms into a slightly burned Anthony with a spear made of lightning. 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAQYrACOUecs
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAz1QtS2ORqf
1051Please respect copyright.PENANABZjZpqnifm
Artemis: “My turn.”
1051Please respect copyright.PENANACUHuoCOqIG
1051Please respect copyright.PENANANz7oRVIkVW
Artemis slams hard onto Alphon who blocks it with his magic-reinforced hands.
1051Please respect copyright.PENANApZ5Gq0EU1P
Alphon: “Damn Arc, you taught Nao the crystal mana center. This shit is really unstable and unpredictable. The power and growth speed are not worth it.”
1051Please respect copyright.PENANA6hKZdDYHIB
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAg36IPmTC7x
The lightning spear starts to burn through the magic reinforcements and shock Alphon.
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAhUCs8ENsaM
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAWzi2kkgGnL
Alphon: “Guh. Hehe, that’s more like it.”
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAbTBnGZf8Kf
1051Please respect copyright.PENANA5VHoqriq3r
Alphon commands the surrounding water to form a fist to punch Artemis off. She takes the hit and bounces back into the fight. Alphon wipes off the blood and summons two swords of blue light.
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAyf1t5xj9bn
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAMaJCmYijvP
They clash in the hallway and exchange hundreds of attacks. Far faster than I can keep up. It’s of such intensity that the water begins to run in fear of it. A sphere of heat and power surrounds this display of power. But someone had to break eventually.
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAkVG7cw2aqx
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAoUXN3Ku98q
Alphon finds an opening and kicks Artemis in the chin. The blow lefts her off the ground and through the ceiling.
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAGAS9PCCzbb
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAtCiwZ7kWqf
Alphon: “Brace yourself.”
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAWE2FL1OPBq
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAEGcZXuvRvi
Alphon readies some type of martial art and waits until Artemis returns to striking distance. When that happened he delivered a soul-destroying blow to her body, sending her flying far off.
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAAlqWdFv3iy
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAiJjT9gT91V
Alphon: “She’s good.”
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAZOzRCLZaHT
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAXvakylWasG
Alphon looks at his scorched fist.
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAfvaH760GUD
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAZ3ryQgurxj
Alphon: “But, I’m better.”
1051Please respect copyright.PENANABjN7ztmsdx
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAmpXhx4Ikzw
Alphon opens his fist to reveal Arc! Alphon puts Arc around his neck and once again I can his voice.
1051Please respect copyright.PENANANRluCnannZ
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAr4QOitCTSO
Arc: “Welcome back…master.”
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAbprpWpk9K7
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAOLS3y63HIJ
Alphon: “Hey, Nao is the master. He has clearly proved to be worthy of you.”
1051Please respect copyright.PENANARx5dqTL0oK
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAkBCRLiazuC
Arc: “No one is more worthy than you Alphon.”
1051Please respect copyright.PENANA6umZOBX8As
1051Please respect copyright.PENANApJmGFnfgvq
Alphon: “Sure but this has gone long enough. Stop trying to overwrite his consciousness with mine.”
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAhMgPNTpQNL
1051Please respect copyright.PENANALr7rMe06Ce
He tried to do what?
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAkA8xKO7b82
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAOkZnjiNZ0w
Alphon: “He’ll explain after all of this and apologize. Won’t you Arc?”
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAEi6ju9cUdx
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAb5YtHLcuVF
Arc: “…Yes.”
1051Please respect copyright.PENANA9ARANemny4
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAHA6vGAs2aY
This is all just…insane.
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAq2huVBb8La
1051Please respect copyright.PENANA6MlQ1Mjyxe
Alphon: “This is only the shallow waters kid. Now, let’s see where she landed.”
…
…1051Please respect copyright.PENANAwdPiCGxGIv
Alphon: “I guess I can’t teleport anymore. Damn, this magic center. At least this body is healing nicely, I won’t have to fight for much longer.”
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAEdktdS8AR8
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAanetS647u2
Alphon pushes off and glides over the ground at incredible speeds. It didn’t take any time at all to find Artemis at the school gym. 1051Please respect copyright.PENANAkuPRELKKep
1051Please respect copyright.PENANA6U7BtdmT7D
1051Please respect copyright.PENANApMoQ6WjGVT
She was still on the ground breathing heavily.
1051Please respect copyright.PENANA3SjetaoqcI
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAkyMMO5N810
Alphon: “Damn, I might have overdone it. You okay Arms?”
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAdZJA2jSrow
1051Please respect copyright.PENANArxCF1ETcXQ
Artemis: “Don’t…call me that.”
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAvYrxDfr5yk
1051Please respect copyright.PENANARfuo0F8liZ
Seriously, what is your relationship with her?
1051Please respect copyright.PENANA5xBattP8z7
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAcftKDS98JU
Alphon: “A good question, for another time. We got things to do right?”
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAnocZFr0gi0
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAW077dus58Z
Yeah, let me take over.
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAwiaNY6bd3K
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAsQMprztsVs
???: “Nao?”
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAoLedS7ZXTm
1051Please respect copyright.PENANABeGI9i5h3s
We look over to Alyson, Deanna, and an unconscious Trevor hiding in the corner of the gym.
1051Please respect copyright.PENANA6fEtnT0D7L
1051Please respect copyright.PENANA4lmqE2Jn2N
Alphon: “Oh, Nao’s sister he somehow fell for you.”
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAfxipYrZhX3
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAkjCDHXS29B
Wasn’t that a bit of your influence? I only started to feel these things after I transformed into you.
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAB8NYKtWqSy
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAVcnBsCp0yp
Alphon: “…Not entirely. Anyway, forgive your brother would you. He didn’t mean to break your heart.”
1051Please respect copyright.PENANA6BdnnjSyWj
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAls64eUZQIG
Alyson: “Wha-”
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAdPt4rWypmK
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAo8PDod4foi
Artemis: “Alphon!”
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAqpryg19vhW
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAcugO4BxL6Y
Artemis forces herself up, despite the serious wounds.
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAyZfBTsFRHG
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAU1wrmxoXGu
Artemis: “For hurting me and my husband, I’m going to turn everything here to ashes.”
1051Please respect copyright.PENANA9yVCa47gBJ
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAzE20rUqKLl
The lights begin to flicker violently and lightning starts to strike everywhere. Eventually, all the lights go out and we can see is the light from the giant lightning ball.
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAlZjCALrEu6
1051Please respect copyright.PENANA8gYTW0bGoQ
Alphon: “Wow Arms, really?”
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAygD55nAz3N
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAvrFNiNleiF
Artemis: “Knowing you, you’ll try to save those kids. Take this if you can.”
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAzoKwn1JsnY
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAUfFVWMcQua
She unleashes the lightning ball in a massive explosion that covers the entire gym. Alphon rushes to Alyson’s group and summons a massive magic barrier.
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAOoYWGVzyTh
*BOOM*1051Please respect copyright.PENANAFCBwo3ExNt
1051Please respect copyright.PENANABcF5QGlDxL
For a while, there was nothing but white and the smell of burning metal and wood. When the smoke clears and the light fades, everything in the gym is either burnt or melted. Everything except what’s behind Alphon. The most important things.
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAyhTjBlqI6k
1051Please respect copyright.PENANASAXPunaUW6
But it came at a cost. I could feel some burns on Alphon too. The bleeding nose returns and Alphon is forced to his knees.
1051Please respect copyright.PENANALlbbYjdwS1
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAb6I05Prp12
Alphon: “Sorry, I couldn’t block everything. This pushes you healing back a bit but-”
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAQ02ynwAbEr
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAalYnPV2wCi
Got it, I can handle it from here. My body shrinks, my eyes return to blue and I look like me again.
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAhmCneyp3z8
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAPNFXD5mXU0
The lights flicker back on but dimmer. The soft light reveals the true devastation of the area. I can’t help but gasp in awe of such power. In the center of it all is Artemis, still recovering from the strain.
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAJcwKdPQ5e9
1051Please respect copyright.PENANArqcLVFgu1Z
Artemis: “Damn, I don’t even have enough energy to keep the lightning cage activate. I’m sorry…my love.”
…
…
Anthony: “It’s alright, I’ll take it from here.”
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAQZor5lRZCQ
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAO1ZeWHlhYj
Antony gets up and looks toward me with the same determination as before.
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAiFLsTBCL0m
1051Please respect copyright.PENANA2pgTUumhN7
Nao: “Anthony, it’s not too late to stop.”
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAopLP5612Gm
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAAKmpqBVrAh
Anthony: “I…am really tired now, I’ll admit. But I can still fry you and those three before the police get here.”
1051Please respect copyright.PENANA4WWzErOraK
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAsIFxQW8U0g
I look behind me at Alyson shaking with fear and Deanna holding onto Trevor for dear life.
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAKYVWaPCb7r
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAZgdURiMPc9
Nao: “…I won’t let you.”

???: “Neither will we!”
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAXkwT6xrEmz

Both of us look to the gym entrance and to our surprise, it’s the rest of our friends.

Anthony: “…Not you too…”
1051Please respect copyright.PENANA9bfIkI4mXg

Mat: “Sorry Anthony.”
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAOj8qUlkbGq
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAIuJJJHG1Og
The Black Listers stand beside me and face Anthony with the same determination. The desire to stop the slaughter and save their friend from himself.
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAEGCjhUtzmR
Anthony: “…”1051Please respect copyright.PENANAgQUOJ33oYp
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAVJehjhGc5l
Tears begin to fall from Anthony’s face and evaporate as they hit the sizzling ground.
1051Please respect copyright.PENANA1fh5mU5DXZ
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAjVUZVA9Tut
Anthony: “…I’m too weak to hold anymore. If this is the path you want to take, I will respect that.”
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAOcOStQl95K
1051Please respect copyright.PENANA4HOOnFsIj3
Anthony summons the last of his strength and takes a battle stance. We do the same, me with arc and everyone else with their magic items.
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAIWmo8L8q3F
1051Please respect copyright.PENANAfolycQpKMz
The final clash, starts now.
