Trap Him With Memoria Astrum

"What did you do?!" shouted Baldwin, eyes fixated at Benjamin. He then tossed the limp body of his sister towards Raiyen. The being did not reply as lunged towards the whole team. Nova stood from afar, unable to determine if she should ready the spell that she had been training lately. Though it felt like years for her, it was only a few minutes that actually went past.

"What a fool, trying to attack us all at once. A single being Vs the four of us plus the one above. That's gotta be suicidal," replied Raiyen, easily dodging the spells.

"Don't underestimate him, Time Boy. The only thing that can be on par with that being is his own sister, who is now defeated," said Z, rolling away from a huge Howl once more. It was as if the enemy had changed moods drastically. At one point, he was fighting the opposite party and the next thing he'd just destroyed his ally with one single attack.

"Didn't the books say that he went insane because of the Corrupt Aura, Gillian?" asked Raiyen, launching another Holy Trinity attack. This managed to startle Benjamin, falling into one of Gillian's traps.

"You're asking someone that hasn't got the power of Time Travel about the past?!" yelled Gillian, raising his eyebrows as he tried to control the enemy. Just then, Benjamin laughed, looking directly at Nova.

"What's so funny?'

"That girl over there. It's sad, isn't it? To constantly look into my memories. How I lived a life of mischieve and wonder. A life of freedom and happiness. That little girl you see, always holding my hand, is my twin. And you keep denying it, how can such a nice person with a family be the enemy? I'll tell you one thing; if you live long enough, you'll end up seeing your own progress of becoming the villain. No matter how much you wish not to, try not to notice or help others, it'll always be the same. Aren't you scared of that, the might Founders Of The Pentacle Arks? Or are you more afraid of what would happen if you drag this young girl into your adventures?" asked Benjamin, pointing at Nova. Raiyen dived into the direction of his daughter and shielded her.

"Leave her out of this, she is not the one who you are fighting against," growled Raiyen, tone furious.

"No, but she'd decided that she wants to fight me herself. Memoria Astrum, otherwise known as the Memory Star in Latin. Or, in simpler terms, the Memories of all creations would be better to understand," said Benjamin, smiling. He then broke free of the trap and extended his arms. The rest of the group looked confused as Nova conjured up the legendary spell.

"Would you take the risk? Could you handle it? I'm not a being that can be so easily defeated, you know. Don't insult me or my kind, since you've been into my head, you should know that a measly spell won't be able to defeat me!" shouted Benjamin. Gillian was ready to attack once more when huge pillars of light rained down from the sky, encircling and caging the Corrupted being. Nova's eyes had was blanketed by a red shade, her hands aimed at the fallen Valkyrie.

"I'd said I wanted to fight you, I didn't say anything about defeating you. I am the child of the Mighty Valkryies and a whacky Time Mage, so go figure on what I'm about to do," explained Nova, as the light started to converge on the Valkyrie's mind.

"You didn't just lock me away in my mind for a few hours, Dad. It was a few years I've been stuck in my mind. I've seen the memories needed to power this spell. The memories of the six of you should be enough for both my power and mind. Barely enough." The cage started to shake violently as Benjamin smiled a crooked smile. With another shout of the spell's name, the cage convulsed and converged on Benjamin, before a tiny black hole behind the enemy started to swallow the Valkyrie. The spell happened rather quickly, not much hullabaloo, no-nonsense. But Benajmin's Aura still lingered, which meant that the Corrupted being was not fully gone.

"He can never die. When Valokia fell, he got swallowed by the supernova that Valokia had become. But since he was trying to do a Time Frame Hop, at the time it was unheard of, he got fragmented. When he opened the Time Stream to get out in time, the opening got fragmented, causing him to scatter all of Time. So no matter how many times we've defeated or killed him, he'll always come back. And due to the fact that he's been exposed to the Time Element for far too long, it's been said that it made go berserk. Imagine if all of Time was happening around you all at once, your mind would burn. Unless you were born out of it, otherwise known as Time Mages," explained Nova, looking at the empty spot.

"You know, he wasn't cursed or Corrupted or fallen. That would only happen if you break a law or get on some demon's bad side," replied Mavislin, softly. Raiyen held his partner, trying to check her wounds.

"Rest for a bit, Mav. Posioned Pond got you too well," said Raiyen, gently trying to hush his girl.

"He was born with Corrupted Powers, the Corrupt Element. It is kinda similar Baldwin's Dark Element. But in the end, he was my twin. Is it wrong to fight your family if it is your enemy?" asked Mavislin, before passing out once more.

"That girl, she woke up just to ask us that. How problematic," said Baldwin, shaking his head. As Ysabeau dived down to take care of Mavislin's wounds, the Memory Princess collapsed.
