Vol. 15 - Chapter 5: The Worst Conclusion

Part 1 – Golden City

(SSSLLLAASSHHH)

"Why, tell me why?"

Lava completely fills the city, there are two in the tallest part of the temple. "Why, tell me why you didn't…"

Darius looks up at the sky; the sword is on his side. "Tell me why didn´t you kill me boy?"

Uriel is one knee next to Darius, Uriel breathes heavily as he lifts the sword again. "YOU SURE ARE GUTLESS, JUST KILL ME…"

"SHUT THE HELL UP!"

Uriel begins to bleed from his hands due to the pressure as he makes a fist. Uriel turns around and sees Darius; "The truth is that I want to kill you so badly that it´s killing inside, and yet…"

"The why, tell me boy"

Uriel looks at the Red Moon and says; "Because I can´t kill a person, you may call me a coward, but that´s just how I am…I won't kill you Darius."

Darius begins to laugh; "You really are strange boy, you are the Horseman of War, war kills people and yet you can´t kill me…You have kind heart while possessing an evil power."

"Ironic isn´t, having this power and yet not killing someone; you know, everyone I meet says the same thing."

Darius begins to turn into ashes as he says; "All my life I wanted power, when I finally obtained it I wanted"

"You sure are a greedy person Darius…"

"You know, in a way, I envied your father, he had a great wife and a great child. I wish I could´ve had a child just like you."

"Now that makes me feel bad, father…" Darius opens his eyes wider, Uriel sees two people in front of him, they did not make any sound and yet they appeared. Uriel begins to feel a tremendous power as he thinks:

"Who is that man? His manna levels are far greater than Darius…"

"Aleister, what are you doing here with him?" Darius asks with a frightened expression. Aleister with great speed kick Uriel sending him flying to the stairs of the Pyramid.

(PPUUUMM)

"Uriel, I can´t believe that you´re still too weak." Aleister chuckles, Uriel begins to change back to normal as he tries to climb. However, Dimitru stands in front of him.

"It´s a pleasure to meet you Horseman of War, I name is Dimitru Georgescu Kirstensen, I am the Third Hour of the Enlightened."

Uriel is in shock, he says in a trembling voice; "You´re the third hour? That means that you are the…"

"That´s right, I´m one of the leaders of the enlightened. Now then, I don´t like to sweat."

(SNAP)

Dimitru snaps his fingers; Uriel begins to feel a small fresh breeze. Uriel turns around, with and opens his eyes wider. "You got to be kidding me."

Uriel sees a flat landscape, the Golden City filled with lava disappeared, the hole that was created with the Sharur´s impact is also gone. All that it's left is the altar in which the Philosopher´s stone is located. Uriel is in shock and exclaims:

"WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO?"

"Nothing, I just change the environment, I hate to sweat. As for my power, there are things in this world that you shouldn't know." Dimitru replies leaving Uriel concern; "What was that power, this guy is even powerful than Darius."

"Now then, let´s enjoy their farewell."

(SSSLLLAASSHHH)

"AAAHHHHHH"

Aleister stabs Darius multiple times, "Why are you doing this to your father? Why did you betray me?"

"No father, I didn´t betray, I am just doing what you taught me. Remember when I wanted to play but to busy? Remember when I spend my birthdays alone because you and my mother were in a business trip."

"Aleister please stop"

"Of course you don´t because I was alone, you never cared about me, my only family now is Anastasia and she isn't my real sister. You brought her as a slave and nothing more."

"Aleister, I´m sorry, I only wanted you to know what power is…"

Aleister stabs Darius in the heart. "Do you feel it, that´s what I felt every day of my miserable. I had money, servants, a maid and a girlfriend and yet I never had parents to count on. You are jealous of Roberto? No, I was jealous of Uriel who did have parents who loved him."

Aleister begins to steal manna from Darius; he smiles and continues to speak:

"I am grateful with you and my mother for giving birth to me, however you weren't my parents. Only my "Nana" was the one who raised me. But don't worry, just like mother when I stole her powers, you will useful as well.

"Wait, you killed Olivia?"

"That´s right, I killed her and got her powers, now I will get your and take the seat of the Tenth Hour."

"You bastard, Aleister how could you this…"

"Good bye, my father…." Aleister takes out the sword, with tears in his eyes, he lifts the sword.

"Olivia, I´m sorry…Eric…"

(SSSSLLLAASSSHH)

Aleister decapitates Darius, killing him instantly. "NNNNOOOOO" Uriel screams out of rage, Aleister wipes his tears and begins to release manna.

"HAHAHA, SO THIS IS THE POWER OF THE ABADDON, THANK YOU FATHER, THANK YOU."

Aleister opens a portal and makes Darius´ body disappear, "Now, to test out my new power" Aleister makes a small manna ball and releases it in the portal.

(BBBBBOOOMMM)

The small ball hits Darius´ body who was located 50 km away from them. Suddenly a huge explosion of purple manna illuminates the sky; the attack causes ferocious wind to blow and the earth shake.

"EXCELLENT, THIS IS POWER, I LOVE IT!"

Uriel is in shock to see the massive explosion "Is this Aleister´s power? I´m no match for him." Uriel sees Aleister with rage. Dimitru begins to walk and grabs the Philosopher´s stone.

"Our mission is complete, well done Darius, at the end, you´ve completed your mission."

"Wait, why do you want with the Philosopher stone?" Uriel asks Dimitru, Dimitru replies; "You see this is the first stone, there are nine in total spread the world. We need them all in order to illuminate the world."

"Just what do you mean by that?"

"That´s none of your business Uriel, don't get involve now." Aleister replies, Uriel looks at Aleister with rage as he begins to walk towards him. Aleister makes the holographic heart appear.

"Now, now, play nice Uriel, otherwise I will kill Marjorie."

"You bastard, do you understand that she doesn´t love you?"

"I don't care about that, if I can´t have Marjorie, then no one will."Aleister says with a serious tone.-TCH- Uriel stops and looks down feeling frustrated.

"That´s enough Aleister; it´s time to go." Dimitru orders Aleister, "I´m sorry, I got carry away talking to my old friend."

Aleister creates a portal, Dimitru begins to walk into the portal; "Farewell, Horseman of War, I will overlook this matter just this once, however, if you intervene with the Enlightened one more time, I will personally eliminate you."

"So long Uriel, don't worry, Marjorie is in good hands, oh, and tell Alexandria that I will be waiting for her." Aleister disappears slowly into portal. Uriel falls into his knees and looks around, "AAAHHHH" He screams out of frustration as the battle was finally over.

Part 2- Yggdrasil Base

A few kilometers away from the Borderland, Yggdrasil establish a camp to help the wounded, on this camp, hundreds of agents arrive to help the Director. In a small tent, Katsumi slowly opens her eyes.

She looks around and asks; "Where am I?"

"Senpai, you´re awake, I´m so glad!" Shion enters the tent and hugs Katsumi, Katsumi begins to remember everything and runs outside, she sees the Director looking at the direction where the battle was going on.

"So it´s finally over huh, I guess it's for the best…" Director Yoshiro says as he scratches his head, Katsumi runs and asks:

"Director, what happened to Uriel, is he okay?"

"Katsumi, I´m glad you woke up, I was worried. Don't worry, Uriel is alive and well."

"Thank Goodness, but what happened to the fight, did you see?" Shion asks the Director, he nods in agreement. "Uriel and Darius fought in a tremendous battle, in the end Uriel defeated Darius, however, Dimitru appear and took the stone. He erased the city completely as if the two cities never existed."

"I understand, and then what are we going to do?" Katsumi asks the Director. "I wanted to speak with Uriel; however, tonight it's not a good time. For now we must head back to Japan and hold a meeting with everyone. I will gather everyone because it is an urgent matter, now that the stone was released; I estimate that it will take about two years for the others to awakened."

"I don't understand that.." Shion says with a confused expression, "I´m going to see Uriel…" Katsumi begins to walk towards that direction, "Stop Katsumi, you mustn't go now. Think about it, you have your brother that it in critical condition, Allan and Heidi are in now better shape. You and Shion are badly wounded as well as exhausted. Use you head and think plus Uriel is not alone, I saw a couple of people heading his way."

"I know but…"

"Don´t worry, you will see him again, I promise…" The director smiles, Katsumi lowers he head and says; "I´m sorry, we need to go."

Yggdrasil prepares to leave and they begin to pack everything, Raions, Allan and Heidi are in critical condition and have oxygen implanted in them, they are taken to a jet in order to head to Japan as soon as possible.

Katsumi and Shion begin to leave as well in a plane with Director Yoshiro, Katsumi looks at the horizon as she thinks; "URIEL, I´M SORRY, PLEASE STAY ALIVE!"

Part 3- Uriel´s side

Uriel who is finally calm, looks at his right side and says; "How long are you going to stay there?"

Alexandria appears from thin air, she walks towards Uriel without say8ing anything. She begins to cure him, as he returns to his normal self. "You won Uriel, I congratulate you"

"At what cost, everybody died, and the cities were destroyed and erased, I can´t call this a victory but rather a loss." Uriel looks at the moon, Alexandria chuckles:

��That was very noble, not killing Darius when you had the chance."

-TCH- "I only did what I could, and why are you helping me? We´re enemies."

"I just feel like it, I never got the chance to say Thank you for reviving me."

Uriel looks away saying; "It was just by chance, if I knew you would kill Samantha, I would have never helped Mercy."

"But you did and for that I am grateful."

"Alexandria, please release the spell you cast on Marjorie and I, she doesn't deserve that."

"I can´t do that, but if you forget about Marjorie and swear your love to me, maybe I will…" Alexandria stops healing Uriel, Uriel with rage turns around and forces her to the ground; he sits on top of her and he takes out his sword and points it at her neck.

Uriel looks at her with rage saying; "This is no joke, release it now!"

Alexandria puts her hand on Uriel´s cheek, Uriel makes the sword disappear, as he looks at Alexandria, "Uriel, do you love Marjorie that much, I offer you my body and soul and yet…"

Uriel remembers his conversation with Marjorie, eight years ago:

Marjorie hugs Uriel crying and saying: "I thought you died, I was really sad, my future husband was dead."

Uriel explains the situation to Marjorie who begins to cry of sadness as she learns that he is leaving and that her memories will be erased for her safety. Marjorie looks up and kisses Uriel in his mouth and says:

"Well consider this our engagement. Please promise me that we will get marry someday. I will forget about you, but don't forget about me. You now know how much I love you." Marjorie tells Uriel who is blushing and throwing steam out of his ears.

"U-U-U-U-G-G-HH-H-HH" Uriel is speechless and does not know what to say.

He says to her: "You know I was always interested in you. I won't forget about you, you are my future wife after all"

This makes Marjorie really happy, and Juan grabs her head and says:

"Well time´s up, you are really bold. You have my respect señorita" Juan says as he casts the spell on to her directly. She begins to lose conscious and closes her eyes as Uriel says to her "Good bye"

"I´m sorry, but I do love Marjorie and I won't back down… I made a promise to her eight years ago and I plan to honor it." Uriel stands up, Alexandria looks sad as she says; "I see, I´m sorry but I can't dispel the curse."

"I know, I can hear that your soul is in pain, Alexandria, please tell Marjorie that I will rescue her someday." Alexandria smiles as she begins to disappear; "I will, Marjorie is a lucky woman to have you, I wish I could have met you earlier…Farewell…I wish luck because your battle isn't over…"

"Hello Muchacho, ready for you duel?" Uriel turns around and sees Alexa and Juan standing behind him.

On the night of September 1st, a war between two cities broke out, the consequences were far greater with the complete destruction of the Borderland. Thousands of people died, with a few survivors. Uriel managed to defeat Darius however, a new threat was released to the world with the discovery of the Philosopher Stone. The War is over however…
