Rising Star
-Conrad pov-
Is this it... Has it really come to this...
All of my plans...
All of my dreams...
The better world that I would create...
All of it ruined because of the actions of one selfish boy!
My revenge!
My future!
GONE!
COMPLETELY GONE!
Standing on the edge of sanity, more and more blood began pouring out of Conrad's eyes as he stood high above the atmoshpere looking down on the kingdom below.
IF I CAN'T SAVE THIS KINGDOM, THEN IT DOESN'T DESERVE TO CONTINUE!!
Thrusting his hands forwards and infusing [Doom's Gate] with what was left of himself, the descent of the meteor accelerated as it broke through the surface of clouds.
"ITS OVER HAHA. EVEN IF I DON'T WIN, I WON'T ALLOW YOU TO EITHER!"

[Breath of the Kitsune : 1st Tail - Foxfire]
[Breath of the Kitsune : 2nd Tail - Burning Sakura]
[Breath of the Kitsune : 3rd Tail - Fox Trot]
[Breath of the Kitsune : 4th Tail - Rightful Ignition]
Facing the threat that was the descending meteor, Grim restarted the [Kitsune] spell cycle once more. Sprouting out 4 fox tails and using a similar method to the one he had used during the creation of the [Raikiri]. He funneled both [Foxfire] and [Rightful Ignition] into the imperial sword turning the initially crystaline blue blade into a burning white colour.
"Here I come."
*BOOOM!!!*
Rocketing off of the ground and soaring high into the air, he watched as the falling sakura petals fell from up on high.
Grinning to himself, he used the still active [Fox Trot] to jump even higher.
Falling under the shadow of the meteor, from the viewpoint of the magic knights and the rest of the Clover kingdom citizens watching from below, they saw a bright white light breaking through the clouds and rising higher at an unprecedented speed.
"This mana..." Someone whispered feeling that it felt quite familiar.
"Its GRIM!!"

-Mereoleona pov-
"Hah... Hah... You done yet?" Princia asked laying flat on her back and surrounded by the charred pieces of what was left of her legion soldiers.
Breathing heavily and also taking a seat, Mereoleona turned to look at her defeated foe and threw her head back with a big grin on her face.
"I could go a couple more rounds." She laughed.
*Smiles*
"Yeah, I bet you could."
Suddenly begining to glow bright yellow, Princia realized that her time on this plane was weakening. But instead of feeling annoyed or frustrated, for the first time in a long time, she felt at peace.
Looking up at the sky and seeing the falling meteor and the bright white light rising to meet it off in the distance. She let out a small smile and a sigh full of content.
'Going out this way... Its not that bad.'
Finally realizing what was going on, Mereoleona's head turned towards the rising white light.
"Grim." She whispered before turning back to look at Princia only to see that she had completely vanished.

-Yami pov-
Having just used the combined power of himself, Nozel and Fuegoleon to perform the Compound Magic spell [Dimension Slash Scorching Light]. The three mana drained captains alongside Yuno pushed Jester past his limits forcing him to dispel the barrier protecting the Triumph and fight them with all he had.
Unfortunately, the moment the barrier went down was the moment that Conrad sacrificed the magic keeping him and the other wizard kings in this world to the [Doom's Gate].
*Sigh*
"Really Conrad." He sighed watched his body turn yellow and slowly turning into mana particles.
"And to that brat of all people. Talk about unfair."

""GRIM!!""
""Go GRIM!!""
""YOU CAN DO IT!!""
""WE BELIEVE IN YOU!!""
As more and more people looked up, the same words began spreading like wildfire. Even those pompous noble ladies who had all suspiciously become pregnant around the same time closed their eyes and sent their prayers his way.
""WIN.""

-GRIM pov-
Bursting through the bottom layer of the atmosphere and soaring as high as he could, his eyes lay solely on the meteorite that was experiencing atmospheric burn.
Almost as if he could see through the flaming pile of space rock heading towards him, he ran his left hand along the burning white blade causing it to turn into a blinding white light.
[Breath of the Kitsune : 5th Tail - Blaze Born]
[Breath of the Kitsune : 6th Tail - Flare Cloak]
[Breath of the Kitsune : 7th Tail - Red Sun]
[Breath of the Kitsune : 8th tail - Fire Thief]
Exploding out with 4 additional tails and a Narutoesque kcm 2 style cloak on his back. The fires spreading on the surface of the meteorite due to its entry into our atmosphere began channeling its way into Grim and the imperial sword.
'I CAN DO THIS!'
'I CAN WIN!!'
Sensing his approaching mana signature, a twisted expression formed on Conrad's face as what little sanity he had left finally slipped.
"GRRRIMMMMMMMMM!!"
"CONRAAAAAAAAAAAD!!!"
Letting out a final roar, cracks began spreading along the blade of the imperial sword as the souls within began burning up.
[FoxFire] x [Rightful Ignition]
Activating the two stored spells and holding the sword in an airborne Iai-like pose, Grim collided with the meteorite.
[SOUL BURNING SLASH]
*SLAAASH!!*
Breaking away from the sword, a monumental arc of blinding white light flew straight through the falling meteorite splitting it in half and traveling towards the space bound Conrad.
While it continued towards Conrad, the remnant flames left behind by the slash spread throughout the divided meteorite. Escaping out of every nook and cranny, white light burned within before the remaining halves suddenly exploded.

Watching as the arc of burning white light approached him, all sound seemed to disappear from the world as a small smile crept its way onto Conrad's face.
It was unknown whether it was because he had lost his mind or because he knew he could finally let his dream die with him, but in his final moments in this world, he chose to laugh.
'So even at the end I couldn't stop him huh...'
'Damn... this is kind of frustrating...'
*SLAAASH!!*
Finally hit by the slash, his entire body was engulf by white light as no sound could be heard. No screaming. No cries of pain. Just the echo of something being extinguished.
But within those last moments of his life, seconds before his body and soul was completely wiped out, a final thought flashed through his mind-
'If I could do it all again *smiles* I'd also like to fuck some shit up.'
