"Why don't you try again??".
Michael said with a wicked smile, his blood boiling with excitement. Rebekah, Kol, Klaus, and Elijah stood up with difficulty and stood in front of Michael.
"He is too strong, we can't defeat him". Kol said with a dark expression.
"No, I almost killed him. We almost made it there, but the stake missed his heart by just inches". Klaus said with an angry expression.
"How do you think the stake missed him, Nick?? It wasn't a coincidence or luck he did this!! He was giving us a hard time and he didn't even use his powers!!". Kol said with a serious expression.
Klaus clenched his jaw and glared angrily at Michael.
"He is right, Nick. I threw all what I got at him, and his clothes didn't even burn, and the stake didn't either. I think he enchanted them so he wouldn't lose the stake." Rebekah said in a low voice.
Elijah turned to his siblings and said, "You have to back off."
"What??" Rebekah screamed in disbelief and then continued, "Do you want us to leave you to deal with our father alone, Elijah?? You've really lost your mind!!".
"Enough sister!!" Elijah ordered Rebekah with an angry expression.
Then he continued, "I'm the oldest here and my job is to protect you. Now you must escape while I buy you some time." Elijah said with a serious expression to all his siblings.
"Oh, that's a really good plan, but the thing is, it's too late." A fifth voice was heard between them, it turned out to be Mikael standing between them with a sarcastic grin.
Kol, Klaus, Rebekah, and Elijah froze and slowly turned to Mikael who was smirking at them.
The siblings quickly responded and attacked Mikael.
"Boom!!!".
Another sonic boom was heard and the ground shattered and a large cloud of dust spread out.
Meanwhile, with Aya and the Strix.
Aya looked at another sonic boom which sparked because the battle between the Mikaelsons and snorted angrily. "Crazy showoffs".
"We should withdraw." Tristen stepped forward and said to the remaining Strix members.
Aya looked at Tristen and said, "Who put you in charge??" Aya felt a sharp pain in her chest as she finished speaking.
Aya looked down and saw Tristen's fist in her chest and she felt his palm grab her heart.
"I did ."
Tristen said in a terrifying voice and looked into Aya's eyes with a murderous expression.
He then let go of her heart and removed his hand from her chest. Aya gasped and inhaled heavily.
Tristen turned to the rest of the Strix and said, "Your creator, Elijah, is being beaten like a child as we speak. He will abandon you so he and his siblings can run for their Misrable lives and leave you to die".
"Liar!!" Aya shouted angrily at Tristen. "You are lying, Tristen. Because you want to turn the Strix against Elijah. That's what you've been doing for the past century!!".
Aya then turned to the Strix and said, "Listen to me well People. We have lost many of our brothers and sisters today because of Tristen's greed for power!! Tristen is the reason so many of us have died today!! Because he was the reason the werewolves attacked us!!".
"He has been hunting and killing them for a hundred years behind Elijah's back and now we are the ones who paying the price!!".
Aya stopped then looked at Tristian and said "if you listen to him if you allow him to lead you, you will find nothing but destruction and death".
"His ways are the opposite of Elijah's ways which seek harmony and peace between the races".
Aya then walked up to Tristian and said in a loud voice "he is a delusional madman who seeks power. He doesn't care about any of us!!".
Tristian laughed and clapped his hands when Aya finished speaking and said.
"Peace? Harmony? What are those things??" Then he looked at the Strix members and said "there is no peace between the races!!! We are vampires!!".
"We were created to kill!!".
"To destroy!!".
"To take over everything!!".
"We were created to rule!!".
Tristian stepped forward and continued his speech "our first instinct is to kill!!! To feed and kill!!".
"We have insatiable hunger and inflated emotions that make us feel more sorrowful and miserable than any creature on this earth!!".
"And these emotions are slowly driving us to madness!!".
"We are cursed, immortal creatures doomed to violence and murder. There is no such thing as peace or harmony in our dictionary!!".
"We are faster!!".
"Stronger!!".
"Smarter!!!".
"Better!!!".
"We are better!!!".
Tristin stopped talking and looked at the shocked Strix members and said, "Whether you like it or not, this is the truth about our Kind!! You can be sweet and compassionate people and try to live as peacefully as you can, but the fact remains that you have become insatiably hungry monsters seeking blood and murder!!!".
"This is our first instinct".
"This is the life you have chosen".
"The more you accept the truth and embrace it, the less it will affect you."
"But Elijah's ways distance you from reality and make you live in a pink bubble full of vain dreams".
Tristin raised his hands and said, "No matter how much good we do, no matter how much we improve this world, and no matter how much we want to explore and delve deeper into it, the fact remains that people will fear us no matter what!!".
"They will hunt us down!!".
"And kill us!!".
"Because we are too strong!!".
"So why should we allow them to harm us???!! While we can rule them and run the world and shape it in our image!!".
"Yeahh!!"
The rest of the Strix shouted loudly and excitedly. Tristen continued and said "Elijah cares about his family more than anything. And anyone other than his family??".
"is nothing to him!! And that includes us!!". Tristen stopped and turned to Aya and said "all of us".
Aya shook her head and said "those are lies. Elijah will never abandon us!!" Aya said firmly and thought "and he will never abandon me".
"Yes, Elijah has guided us through many hardships and taught us how to control our bloodlust". He taught us to think and be a better version of ourselves!! How can you be so sure that he would just abandon us after all this suffering??".
One of the Strix asked Tristen loudly.
Tristen laughed and said "because he did the same thing to me!! I am Tristen de Martell, heir to Count Martell!! My homeland was in the south of France and I was a noble". "living a normal life until Elijah and his siblings came to my castle door disguised as nobles from other countries. They entered my house, ate my food and slept in my beds".
"I gave them shelter and safety".
And, how did they return the favor? By turning me into a vampire!!".
Tristan stopped for a moment and looked at the destroyed Copley Castle with intense hatred and malice, from which the sounds of sonic explosions were still coming as the fight between Michael and his children was still ongoing.
Tristan turned to the crowd again and continued. "They returned the favor by turning me into a monster that knows nothing but destruction and killing!!".
"And when their crazy father came to reap their souls, what did Elijah do??".
"He betrayed me!! and left me to die alone!!.
He Compiled me to believe that I was him and then forced me to run and hide from his father for a hundred years!!! so that he and his damned family wouldn't find them!!!".
When Tristen finished screaming, the crowd made sounds of surprise and amazement and whispered among themselves.
None of them believed what they heard and immediately denied it.
Tristen continued and said, "And this is what he will do now!! He will use you as bait for his father and he will abandon you and run away with his damned siblings from their lunatic father!!".
"But they are four Originals!! How could they lose to one person??" Someone in the crowd cried out anxiously.
Tristen smirked and said, "The Originals will be defeated.
"because they are facing a monster so terrifying that even the other monsters fear it."
The crowd fell silent. Tristen raised his hand and said, "But I survived from that monster for a whole Century!", "and I can show you how to save your lives too, but you must follow me from now on because Elijah's time is over!!". Tristen shouted angrily and excitedly.
The others responded in unison.
"Long live Lord Tristen!"
"Long live Lord Tristen!"
"Long live Lord Tristen!"
Aya looked worriedly at the Strix who had turned on Elijah and Tristen who was standing proudly, grinning from ear to ear.
Then she thought anxiously, "Hurry, Elijah, and return victorious so you can end Tristen's ambitions."
Suddenly, a terrifying roar filled the place, and the crowd stopped screaming.
They turned to the source of the sound and found the remaining wolves roaring towards them furiously and with angry expressions, as they were still determined to finish what they started.
Tristen turned to the werewolves and shouted at the Strix, "Strix, as my first order as leader."
Then he paused, his eyes turning red and his irises turning black, and veins protruded from under his eyes.
Then he continued, "Kill these damn dogs!!!"
Meanwhile, with the Mikaelsons.
"Boom!!".
Another explosion and Klaus flew away and fell hard, vomiting blood.
Michael rushed at him in a fury, about to stab him with the white oak stake, but Elijah stood in his way and punched him from the right, then from the left, and followed up with a kick to the middle of his chest.
The stake flew out of Michael's hand and fell far away. Michael looked angrily at Elijah and punched him hard.
Elijah fell to the ground, and before he could move, Michael stomped on his face and buried his head in the ground.
Michael grabbed Elijah's foot, lifted him into the air by his foot, and slammed him on the ground several times.
Michael threw Elijah hard to the ground, burying Elijah in the ground while Elijah was trying to breathe or get up, to no avail.
Michael sat on Elijah and slammed him hard in the face with several punches.
Michael then got up and grabbed Elijah's head and smashed it against the rocks several times until Elijah's skull was broken and and completely shattered, and becoming like jelly.
When Elijah stopped moving, Michael let go of his head.
Elijah fell on the On the ground and he is unable to get up again.
"You will regret this!!!" Rebekah screamed angrily as she flew around Michael and threw several fireballs at him Michael dodged the balls and jumped in the air.
One moment Michael was on the ground and the next he was in the sky in front of Rebekah pulling his hand back and punching Rebecca hard in the face.
"Boom!!!".
The sound barrier exploded for the tenth time since the beginning of the battle from the force of Michael's blow.
Rebekah landed hard on the ground and half of her beautiful face was destroyed.
Michael landed on top of her hard digging his knees into her chest Rebekah's Rib cage destroyed immediately from the force of the blow.
Rebekah gasped loudly and the air was forced out of her punctured lungs.
Michael strangled Rebekah forcefully and raised his hand and punched her brutally and without mercy until her beautiful face became an unrecognizable bloody mass.
Michael let go of Rebekah and kicked her hard Rebekah flew and hit the remaining wall of the castle.
The wall shattered on Rebekah and Rebekah sank among the rocks.
Michael turned to the shocked Kol and walked towards him angrily with a crazy expression.
"Get away!!".
"Get away from me!!!"
"Stay Back!!"
Kol screamed in fear as he threw several bloody spears at Michael.
Michael easily dodged the spears and lunged at Kol, grabbing his face tightly and lifting him off the ground.
Kol tried to push Michael's hand away from his face but to no avail.
Kol's feet kicked the air forcefully trying to break free.
"You have a cowardly heart, son. Why don't I rip it out for you? Maybe you'll have a brave heart when your heart grows back!".
Michael said in a deep, terrifying voice, then he put his hand in Kol's chest.
"Aaahhhh!".
Kol screamed in pain.
Michael pulled his hand out and pulled Kol's heart out of his chest, then he let go of Kol's face.
Kol fell and stood for a while, staring at his heart in astonishment.
"What's wrong? You're not used to seeing your heart ripped out of your chest? Don't be afraid, I'll give it back to you!".
Michael said sarcastically in his terrifying voice, then he punched kol in the jaw.
"Crack!!"
Kol's lower jaw broke and drooped from his mouth. Michael grabbed Kol's jaw tightly and put Kol's heart inside his mouth, then he shut his jaw forcefully with a squirt!!.
"A disgusting meat explosion sounded and Kol's heart turned to paste in his mouth, but Michael wasn't done yet.
As he grabbed Kol's face and neck and forced him to swallow his heart.
Kol swallowed his heart and it fell into his stomach.
Kol's eyes widened in shock and he reached to his broken mouth and then fell to the ground, his skin turned gray with prominent veins appearing on his skin.
"Kol!!".
Klaus screamed in disbelief and absolute horror as he saw something he thought impossible before.
Michael smiled a crazy smile and turned to Klaus.
Klaus saw Michael's bloodied smile and his heart stopped beating with fear and he fell to the ground in despair.
Michael walked towards the white oak stake very slowly and deliberately to enjoy Klaus' fear, then picked it up from the ground and turned to Klaus and then to Elijah, who lifted his head with difficulty as he crawled towards Michael.
Then Michael looked at the Strix and Werewolves fighting fiercely on each side and said, "it seems that you built a glorious supernatural society in this city, why not fix this matter??".
Then he raised his hand in the air and closed his eyes and waited a bit.
Huge red veins popped out of Michael's neck and hands. Then Michael's muscles bulged and his shirt and coat exploded and tore into pieces in the air.
Michael opened his eyes forcefully.
Michael's eyes flashed an intense red color.
Then he punched the air in front of him.
"Boommmmm!!!!!".
The air exploded with terrifying force and a wave of compressed air headed towards the Strix and the Werewolves. Tristin turned and saw the wave of compressed air that was destroying everything in its path and heading towards them, and shouted.
"Run!!".
"Boom!!".
The whole place exploded when Tristian finished speaking and a large cloud of dust rose up and then quickly disappeared and when the smoke cleared there were pools of blood and guts and limbs and wolf fur scattered everywhere on the ground.
The ground was stained red from the amount of blood and everyone who was standing on it disappeared from existence and they didn't even know how they died.
35 werewolves and 120 vampires were wiped out in seconds.
"Noooo!!!!".
Elijah screamed loudly and in pain then he lost consciousness completely.
Klaus knelt in horror from the sight and looked with bulging eyes at the destruction that Michael caused then he turned to Michael and said in a trembling voice.
"You.. You are a monster".
"No".
Michael said in a terrifying voice while smiling crazily and then he continued "I am your nightmare that will haunt you even in your dreams until you die!!".
Michael slowly approached Klaus holding the white oak stake and said, "Your end has come, Bastard. No one is here to save you this time."
He stopped in front of the kneeling, broken Klaus and said, "Any last words?"
Klaus trembled and looked Michael in the eyes and said, "Go to hell."
Michael smiled and said, "Unfortunately Your wish will not come true. Boy. Because The Halls Of Valhalla Awaits Me"
Then he strangled Klaus and lifted him off the ground. Klaus trembled and started kicking the air with his feet, trembling with pain and fear.
Michael lifted the stake and slowly placed it on Klaus's chest, just above his heart.
And he was about to push him in but stopped when he heard a terrifying roar fill the place.
Michael slowly turned to the source of the sound and found an enraged William there.
William had returned to the castle after Michael had thrown him into the air, but he saw his Pack and his son dying at the hands of Michael.
The moment Michael's gaze reached William, for the first time he felt in extreme danger from a creature on this earth.
Michael's instincts were screaming at him.
Michael could feel the power of this creature standing in front of him.
It was clear that he was stronger than his Children and Klaus combined.
"Ruurrraaaahh!!!!".
William angrily attacked Michael, Michael quickly dropped Klaus and tried to defend himself but William angrily bit his waist and lifted him off the ground and shook his head left and right while Michael was in his huge mouth.
William threw Michael in the air and jumped towards him angrily.
Klaus fell to the ground, not believing that he had survived and remained alive, then he quickly went to his Siblings and lifted them up while shouting their names.
