25 Fight Back, Never give Up

Previously

"You and your worthless friends never had the chance of defeating me!" Veltos says with a smile on his face crushing Asta's arm making him grunt and scream. Asta screams and howls but then chomps onto Veltos' arm.

Causing Veltos' to stop and look at him weirdly. Asta says something but Veltos doesn't understand causing him to question "What?" with a raised eyebrow.

A voice that projects magic blasts through the wall and separates Asta away from Veltos and moving his foot off of me enough so where I could escape.

I breath in air and pant. "Hear I thought animals were supposed to have good hearing?" I look over at this voice to see Noelle with another girl who is in an underwater temple outfit.

"What he said was 'No one would be able to protect anybody if all I did was give up!'" the two girls yell. I smirk at that comment.

'Well let's finally go all out shall we? I'll be using that now.'

Hikaru POV

"You two are next at least try to entertain me!" Veltos' looks over at the two newly arrived opponents. I look over at Noelle and nod my head at her giving her a reassuring smile. 'I just need some time and once his distracted I'll land a blow!' I thought to myself.

I see Noelle and the girl look around the room and see her grit her teeth at the sight in front of her. She thinks 'Magna! Luck! Asta too! Hikaru is down for the mean time as well... I just have to buy some time before Captain or Hikaru can do something! Just what kind of monster are we up against!'

I stand back and watch the battle unfold in front of me. I witness Asta get up slowly and lunge towards Veltos "I'm not down yet!"

Veltos turns towards Asta and smiles creepily "Go away. Insect!" he says and slashes Asta away, as Noelle shouts "Asta!"

The girl next to Noelle casts a spell "Song Magic: Rhythm Cussion." This magic brasses Asta. I see them converse a bit trying to come up with a plan and see Asta staggering. I grit my teeth and focus my energy and magic.

"Kai!! Big Brother!! Why the hell are you sleeping! My got to fight and win this because we have a promise to keep remember!! We are never going to be famous if we let beast man kill us! Did you forget about our singing and dancing, brother and sister act! " the girl shouts causing Noelle and I to wince at the loudness. I turn to see the other boy that came with Asta. 'I believe his name was Kiato.' I sweatdrop.

I turn to see the said boy rise and awake. "No! Of course I didn't!" he retorts back. I sweatdrop once more seeing this girl turn to talk to Noelle about her brother.

Meanwhile the said boy winced at the pain and glanced at me. He thought 'Man if I didn't brace that attack and if that lady over there didn't lessen the blow with her magic than I would be missing a head and more body parts...He'll be impossible to beat. But.'

The girl speaks up "My brother and I have a dream! We're gonna go ashore someday!" I smile slightly at that. "Yeah that's right! We can't give up now! We won't let our dream die! Let's go!" the brother says.

They both nod their heads in agreement while they start their attack. I see the girl sing her spell while the brother starts moving and swaying. "Sea god slash!" Kiato yells, going in to attack Veltos.

My eyes widen slightly. 'Combo magic. The girl's singing enhances the boy's dance magic it seems, allowing the mana to be stronger and make the attack stronger as well. This allows the large amount of magic power to strike!' I think to myself but my eyes shrink and stare intently at Veltos. 'However, that attack will need to land upon him , if he wishes to get some damage done. But it will need to be stronger than that to do an actual blow.' I watch as some blows land on him scratching his skin. As the rest of them are repelled by Veltos' mana.

"This magic bonds the people of the underwater temple!" Kiato yells as he goes in for another attack. He does a couple more blows till Veltos' speaks up "You done with your little speech?" he says and chuckles.

Kiato's eyes widen slightly. The two keep on singing and landing attacks on Veltos' but none seeming that actually do harm. All being parried by Veltos. I watch intently as my eyes widen and I get up from my spot from the ground clutching onto my sides. Veltos speeds up and lands in front of Kiato. I yell "Kid! Get back Now!" I say and open my grimoire. "Earth spirit magic: Cradle of spring" I cast using it to separate the two. I watch as Veltos' smugly looks down at the boy.

Veltos uses his hand and splits the cradle in half as the boy tries to back away but a cry of pain and splash of blood comes after the attack. "Kiato!" the sister yells worried about her brother. I see blood splatter and my eyes widen even more than it was. 'His leg! The cut is so deep! His leg looks like it will almost fall off!' I feel my blood boil. I stagger as I'm standing only to fall down, my armor and magic swords dissipated a while ago for that spell.

'I still need time!! I used some of my magic to help block that attack! A monster! He had a dream and he went and hurt him where he needed to use to accomplish that dream!' I said to myself angrily. I walk closer to them as I see Veltos punch the boy in the face making him fly into the wall.

"Dreams and bonds, what do humans know about those!?" Veltos yells as he rushes over to Kahono. "Don't speak such words to me girl!" He yells while jabbing his hand at her throat. I look down and clench my fists 'How dare he! How dare he!'

I see the sea monsters appear and start going after Veltos as he holds the girl up my her hair. He punches the fish and turns back to Kahono.

"We had those once, our own dreams and bonds. Until you humans destroyed them! WE the eye of the midnight sun had dreams and bonds golden. It looks like there will be no more singing and dancing for you two. All it took was some good well time strikes to crush those silly dreams of yours. What good are you now? Your a sparrow without a voice. I can sense your despair, how delicious." Veltos says and looks at Kahono who shows determination on her face.

"Looks like there is still some defiance left still. Very well. Let's see how you feel when I tear your wings off. Really a sparrow who can't sing has no reason to live anyway." Veltos goes on.

"DON'T TOUCH HER! Put her down! Do it right now!" Noelle states while pointing her wand at the beast. He smirks over at her "You think because you told me too that I'll actually listen!" Noelle shakes and her thoughts race all over her mind. "If your just going to stand there and not doing anything than watch her! Watch her die!" he says.

Veltos grabs Kahono's arm and starts to crush it. Noelle starts to tear up and Kahono gives her a look. I smile slightly getting ready. 'It seems those two are able to push each other and encourage them. Push and go forward Noelle!' I scream in my thoughts.

Noelle starts walking forwards releasing her mana as Veltos' face looks shocked. She strides confidently reading her attack. "Release my friend at once or you'll regret it!" Noelle says as she starts her massive spell.

"This amount of magic! Hold on, are you royalty!?" Veltos questions "So what if I am? That does not matter right now! I am Noelle Sliva of the Black Bulls and I'm done standing and watching by while you hurt my friends and squad mates!"

This causes Veltos to smile evilly and reply with "I see! I'll make an example out of you! So come at me with all you've got, you disgusting royal!" he casts a beast hand reading for the spell.

"Oh I was planning on it! I'll show you the power of a royal! Water creation magic: Sea Dragon's Roar!" Noelle casts, having a huge water dragon come straight at Veltos. I smirk as I lay down on the ground sore and exhausted.

"Bear claw!" Veltos yells trying to stop the attack only for him to fail and get pushed back. The dust slowly goes down to reveal Veltos without an arm.

He yells "My arm!" while screaming in pain. My eyes widen at this. "What?" I say silently. "I guess I really do have to use that then." I say to myself as I try to get back up.

"I'll kill you!!" the beast man yells while screaming again. As I stand up I see him grow a third eye on his forehead. 'Just what..' I thought while my eyes widened and I start panting a little at the pain in my body.

"You have my gratitude for summoning me!....Human" Veltos says while smirking and smiling evilly at Noelle. "Mythical Beast magic" he says in an evil tone, as a magic circle appears around his arm. Growing a new one, all there, repaired, intact!

My eyes widen even more, "The hell...." I say and hear Yami yell "Run Noelle!" I see Noelle look at her teammates and glance around. "Leave them, Not a chance!" I smile as she looks at me get up fully and take out my grimoire.

"You don't stand a chance little girl! Running your mouth, that's what will kill you. Now! Mythical Beast magic!" Veltos calls out and creates a magic circle that has a beast forming.

The blast comes out and Noelle can't summon any of her magic. I run fast coming in front of her seeing him do the same. I smile slightly. 'I knew you would.' The dust blows away as I hear pants of not only my own but Asta's. I stand in front of Noelle with a slight magic barrier around us that falls down with Asta in front of me, with his swords.

"Asta! Hikaru! You saved me" Noelle says. I turn to give her a small smile. "It was mostly Asta." I say softly before turning to glance down at Asta and pat his head. "Well Asta, it seems that you and me are going to be doing this together." I say as he nods his head while getting up from his position.

"It's not over! And we are not going to and never going to!" Asta yells at Veltos. I smirk and pull out my grimoire. 'Couldn't have said that any better Asta.'

"Your right, this isn't over yet. The real despair starts now!" Veltos replys back while releasing his mana.

"Well we shall see about that." I say while releasing all of my stored magic I have to use this spell. I look towards Asta and Noelle. "I'll have your back." I say and summon my spell.

"Now let's do this shall we."
