Chapter 13:
*Joy teleported to the knife in Tom's right hand, drove it into his bicep and twisted it.*
Tom Creed: "URGHHHHHHHHHHH" *grunts in pain*
.
*Joy teleported back to the edge*
.
Joy Mason: "What can I say ? I don't really like to be lectured…" *smiles*
.
.
*Tom holding his right arm*
.
Joy continued teleporting around the platform with Bennie. Collecting her fallen knives and throwing them into sky
.
Joy Mason: *thoughts* "All I need is a few minutes…"
.
*Bennie regained full consciousness*
.
Joy Mason: *whispers* "Bennie…when I say release…engage and hold him off for one minute. Immediately retreat after the countdown…"
.
Bennie Borelli: "Let's do this." *nods*
.
*Joy continued teleporting around the platform throwing knives in the sky*
.
Tom Creed: "Your intellect and abilities are quite exceptional, I must commend you on that….However."
.
*MANA ENERGY INCREASE*
*MANA ENERGY INCREASE*
*MANA ENERGY INCREASE*
.
Tom Creed: "It's such a waste. Your true potential is just being chained down and imprisoned
by those who lack resolve and strength to conquer."
.
The energy enveloping Tom's body became unstable.
.
Tom Creed: "You will never be able to grow with such incompetence at your side…Join me."
.
*MANA ENERGY INCREASE*
*MANA ENERGY INCREASE*
*MANA ENERGY INCREASE*
*MANA ENERGY INCREASE*
..
Joy Mason: *thoughts* "One more minute..."
.
*Joy stopped at the center of the platform in front of Tom, struggling to stand while being blown back by his mana force*
..
Joy Mason: "I already made a vow to someone who believes in me….Believes in us and he's wayyyyyyy stronger than you….in every single way possible."
.
Joy Mason: "You're right… about two things though… my intellect and abilities…. *smiles* Bennie! Release!"
.
*Bennie jumped off Joy's back and faced off against Tom.*
.
*Joy dashed back to the edge of the platform and began throwing the rest of her knives into the sky*
.
Joy Mason: *thoughts* "Right here. Right now."
.
.
Tom Creed: "You can barely withstand being in my presence…yet…you choose to stand alone before me."
.
*Tom flicked his middle & index fingers upwards*
.
Tom Creed: "Rise."
.
*The entire platform was then submerged in high tidal waves*
.
*MANA ENERGY INCREASE*
.
*BANG!*
.
*Tom dashed towards Bennie and launched a kick to his jaw*
.
*WHOOSH!*
*BANG!*
.
*Tom dashed behind Bennie, grabbed his head and slammed him into the waves*
.
*MANA ENERGY INCREASE*
.
*Water began spiraling around Tom's left arm*
.
Tom Creed: "There's no point in prolonging this."
.
.
Joy Mason: *thoughts* "Fuck….just a few more seconds…"
.
.
Tom Creed: " Tsunami Noyade."
.
As Tom struck Bennie once more, he was rendered unable to breathe as his lungs got overwhelmed…
.
Tom Creed: "Your fate was sealed from the very moment you were up against me. Farewell."
.
*Tom turns towards Joy*
.
.
Bennie Borelli: *bleeding profusely* *barely able to stand* *heavy breathing* "And who decided that?"
.
Tom Creed: "You can't accomplish anything in your current state… you should've just stayed down…"
.
*Walking slowly towards Bennie*
.
*MANA ENERGY INCREASE*
*MANA ENERGY INCREASE*
*MANA ENERGY INCREASE*
.
Bennie Borelli: "Sorry to disappoint you guys… but this seems to be as far as I go…" *smiles*
.
Bennie Borelli: *thoughts* "Right here. Right now."
.
*MANA ENERGY INCREASE*
.
*Bennie used the last of his mana to engulf his entire body into flames*
.
*The waves began evaporating as Bennie's mana force became stronger*
.
*Bennie dashed towards Tom and held onto him*
.
Tom Creed: "What a meaningless effort."
.
*Bennie looked at Joy*
.
Bennie Borelli: "Sacrificio ardente!!!!!!!"
(Fiery Sacrifice)
.
*BOOM!*
.
*Bennie's flames exploded and formed the shape of a cross*
*BLINDING LIGHT*
.
.
*Joy threw a knife directly above Bennie & Tom*
Joy Mason: "Assassin's Trace.."
.
Joy Mason: "Sky fall.."
.
Joy Mason: "IRON MAIDEN!!!!!"
.
*Joy teleported to the knife above Bennie & Tom… Manipulated every knife she threw into the sky and sent them raining through the light*
.
*As the knives pierced through their jumpers , it felt as if their insides were being steamed*
.
*Loud inaudible screams*
.
"URGHHHHHHHHHH….AHHHHHHHHHHH"
.
.
.
Joy Mason: *heavy breathing* *hands on her knees* "Any longer….and I would've lost…"
.
Joy clasped her hands and looked up to the skies.
.
Joy Mason: "Thank you Bennie."
.
*Joy raised her fist into the air and dropped on her knees out of respect for Bennie*
.
.
.
.
*Blinding lights fade*
.
*Blood dripping*
.
*Tom holding Bennie's lifeless body in his hands*
.
*Joy turned around with a look of complete disbelief*
.
Tom Creed: *coughing up blood* "You look like you have seen a ghost… if your useless comrade hadn't tanked most of that attack…I would have suffered the same fate as him…"
.
*MANA ENERGY INCREASE*
.
Tom Creed: "But that's in the past now…I'll ensure you have a fitting end…"
.
*MANA ENERGY INCREASE*
*MANA ENERGY INCREASE*
*MANA ENERGY INCREASE*
.
Tom Creed: *shouts* "BROOOOOTHERRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!"
.
.
*As Tom shouted out for his brother….His drastic increase in power left Joy knocked out cold*
.
*Tom ascending into the sky*
.
*GROUND SHAKING*
.
*GROUND CRACKING*
.
*INTENSE WIND PRESSURE*
.
Tom Creed: "RISE!!!!"
.
.
.
Tom Creed: "VORTEX!!!!"
.
.
A FEW MOMENTS AGO-
.
*Cracks neck*
*Cracks knuckles*
.
*Iris back-flipped off the platform and landed in-front of Thomas*
*BOOM!*
Iris Leos: "No holding back this time…. I promise." *smiles*
.
.
*Thomas absorbed the mana from the atmosphere into his ring and concentrated it*
.
*WHOOSH!*
*Thomas dashed towards Iris*
.
Thomas Creed: "Eternal Destruction: Release."
.
*Iris grabbed Thomas' fist*
.
*The sound from the impact was similar to that of a nuclear explosion*
.
*MANA ENERGY INCREASE*
*MANA ENERGY INCREASE*
*MANA ENERGY INCREASE*
.
*Thomas' jumper sleeve began to shred*
.
Iris Leos: "Question…"
.
*BANG!*
.
*Iris connected a knee directly to Thomas' jaw*
.
*Blood dripping*
.
Iris Leos: "Why do you insist on holding back??"
.
*Iris holding a barely conscious Thomas' head in place*
.
Iris Leos: "Even a blind man can see the difference in our standings in this current situation…"
.
*BANG!* *BANG!* *BANG!*
*RIBS CRACKING*
.
*Thomas received a triple shin kick to his ribs*
.
*coughing blood*
.
Iris Leos: *sighs*.…. *yawns* "If you don't go all out now… there's no point in taking this match any further…"
.
*BANG!*
.
*Iris hit Thomas an uppercut and sent him flying into the skies*
.
.
*Iris walked away disappointed*
.
Thomas Creed: *thoughts* "In my current state…. It seems as though everything I've said up until now is a lie…"
.
*Slowly getting up*
*Palm on his forehead*
.
Thomas Creed: *maniacal laughter* "AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA…. Time to stop subconsciously restraining myself.."
.
Thomas Creed: "A severely wounded beast will do anything to survive…."
.
Thomas Creed: *looking up to the sky* "Forgive me Sarah… it seems as though I won't be able to keep our promise."
.
*CRACK!*
*SNAP!*
.
*Thomas broke his left arm*
.
Thomas Creed: *shouts* "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!"
.
As Thomas' screams echoed throughout the forest… His true power unleashed. Every ounce of mana from his body poured out. In this form he became unstoppable…
.
.
Iris Leos: *chuckles* *turns around* "Took you long enough.."
