CHP#21.) The Vessel of The God of Darkness

The battle between Zanderon and NMAC still continues...

Jean Clair's team was able to

defeat one of the members of the Ten Flames, however they've encounter Melvin's henchman, Gianne and also facing his squad The Black Star Squad.

Meanwhile, Joelle successfully defeated Elaine and took down one

of the members of Ten Flames too. However, after Elaine managed to

get up she was stabbed from behind

by a sword. Another member of the Ten Flames has appeared and she was responsible for stabbing Elaine from behind. Right after Elaine was

in the verge of death Rixelle saved

her and now engages a battle to Bianca.

Bianca: "Little girl! Do you think you can stand a chance against me?"

Rixelle: "I will not know unless I try! Right?" she griped her hand tight and quickly punhced Bianca in her face.

Bianca: "Urgh...!" (Fast!)

Rixelle: "AERIAL GOD: DESTRUCTIVE FIST FURY!!!" she cloaked her hand with wind and punched her many times.

Bianca: "Arghhh!!! Tsk! Damn you, little brat!!"

Rixelle: "Just so you know! I'm not little anymore! I've grown into fine young woman and my strength comes from the people I hold dear

in my heart!" she kicked Bianca and was tossed into the ground.

Rixelle: "I swear! I'll defeat you!"

Bianca: "Tsk! Your good but will see

if you can fight your dark side! ILLUSION MAGIC: SHADOW OF PERSONA!!!" she flicked her fingers and Rixelle's shadow was divided into two, and the other shadow turned into her dark side.

Rixelle: "What is this!?"

Bianca: "Prepare to face your dark side and see through your fears once again!"

Rixelle: "My dark side?" Rixelle's dark side attacks her on a hand to hand combat.

Bianca: "One more thing, your dark side have the same magic power

that you use too! Your magic will be divided into two when I create your dark side, isn't that great? You will share your power to your other side!"

Rixelle: "Maybe for you!" she doged the kick of her dark side.

Rixelle: "AERIAL GOD: AIR CUTTERS!!!" the clone copied her attack.

Rixelle: "What!?" (She used the same attack!?) her clone used the Sky Twister attack.

Rixelle: "Argh!"

Joelle: "Don't worry! I'll help you!"

Bianca: "Not so fast girl... ILLUSION MAGIC: SHADOW OF PERSONA!!!" she flicked her fingers and Joelle's dark side attack her.

Joelle: "Ergh! Okay, let's see if you

can defeat me! THUNDER GOD SWORD!!!" her clone summoned

the same weapon and fight her.

Rixelle: "She's just as powerful I am!"

Bianca: "Do you like it? This is my magic the Illusion Magic: Shadow

of Persona. I can create your dark sides using the negative feelings

in your heart and by using your

own fears as well."

Rixelle: "So that's the reason, huh?!"

Bianca: "Yes, Now face your own power!"

Rixelle: (There must be a way to defeat our dark sides... Wait!) she remembered Bianca's words.

(There your dark sides and they

have the same power as you do!) "That's it!"

Rixelle: (That's it! I know how to defeat them now! If they are really

our dark sides...)

Bianca: "What!?"

Rixelle: "We just have to be more stronger than our clones."

Joelle: "What!? Be more strong than them?"

Rixelle: "Yes! AERIAL GOD: TRAILING GUSTS!!!" the clone used the same attack.

Rixelle: "Followed by... AERIAL GOD: AIR CUTTER!!!" the clone didn't catch up to the attack and it was hit by her attack.

Rixelle: "AERIAL GOD: DESTRUCTIVE FIST FURY!!!" the clone took a direct hit and the clone toppled over and vanished.

Bianca: "What!?"

Rixelle: "Your next!"

Bianca: "I won't be so sure about

that! I'll show you the true power of the Ten Flames of Zanderon! I will show you why I can control the darkness and create solid projection of illusions!" the ground cracked

and a magic circle appeared, the

flow of magic around her became different. A dark force surrounded

her and as the darkness fades

her new form starts to be revealed.

Bianca: "SOUL UNION: GOD OF MISCHIEF!!!"

Rixelle: "The power of a God!?"

Joelle: "Impossible! How did she...!?"

Bianca: "Hear me humans! I am Loki the God of Mischief and also, I am one with the darkness! When I was banished from Asgard I was sent

to the realm of the humans but a mortal girl named Bianca found me! She agreed to be my vessel and as our souls become one we will take this form!"

Rixelle: "Your a God, huh!? Well this

is my chance to shine then cause I can use God Magic!" Bianca raised her hand towards Rixelle.

Bianca: "Prepare to be swallowed by the darkness! DARK FLASH!!!" dark lasers headed towards her.

Joelle: "Rixelle, look out!!!" Joelle's clone attacked her with the sonic blades.

Joelle's Dark Side: "How pathetic!

I can't believe that I am you, but

then again... I will enjoy torturing

you if I win! Hahahaha!!!"

Joelle: "Will see about that!! SONIC SLASH!!!" she managed to over

power her clone and she kicked her clone towards to protect Rixelle.

The laser hit the clone and Joelle's bad side subsided in the darkness.

Rixelle: "Thank you, Joelle! I owe you one!"

Joelle: "You're welcome! Now, finish her off!"

Bianca: "What...?! Take this! NIGHT SLASH!!!" she summoned dark

blades and attack her with full force.

Rixelle: "AERIAL GOD: SKY TWISTER!!!" the blades were deflected.

Bianca: "What!?"

Rixelle: "AERIAL GOD: DESTRUCTIVE FISTS!!!" she punched her in the face and her body.

Bianca: "Erghhhh!!!! You little brat!

You dare to defy a God!?" Bianca kicked her.

Rixelle: "You're right! You are a God but don't expect that I will bow

down and praise you!! 'Cause the

one thing that I hate the most are

bad Gods like YOU!!! And the reason

why I practiced God Magic is to defeat Evil beings like you!

AERIAL GOD: RAGE!!!" she burst a powerful breath attack.

Bianca: (God Magic!? Her power

is no joke!) Bianca withstanded the attack but her new form is fading

bit by bit.

Joelle: "Her Soul Union's weakening!"

Bianca: "Curse you!" she attacked Rixelle with the full power of the Dark Bomb attack and Rixelle withstands the attack.

Rixelle: "Erghhh..."

Bianca: "Impossible! I hit her with everything I got! You little brat!

Why won't you just give up already?!"

Rixelle: "I will never give up! Just so you know, I'm not a little girl anymore..." Bianca was struck by

fear and she didn't even think a

plan, she charges towards her.

Rixelle: "I shall end your reign of

terror now! Because Evil Gods deserves to be PUNISHED!!!"

the air around her gathered and

as the flower mixed into the air

she formed them into giant wings.

Bianca: "I won't loose to YOU!!!" she raised her hand.

Rixelle: "Prepare to be punished by the power of the God of the Wind!!! AERIAL GOD: HEAVEN'S BLOSSOM WINGS!!!" after raising her hands

she formed an X shape figure using her hands, the wings of air and petals

hit Bianca.

Bianca: "ARGHHHH!!!!" (It can't be... I've lost to a brat?) her Soul Union vanished and she fell into the ground.

Rixelle: "Heh! I won...!"

Joelle: "Way the go girl!" Rixelle turned and smiled.

River: "Are you guys alright?"

Joelle: "Yes we are."

River: "Thank goodness."

Joelle: "You know your sister is good in fighting she will be a great warrior someday."

River: "Gotta say she is one of a kind!" the both of them smiled.

Rixelle: "Let's not celebrate yet, Joelle and big brother..."

River: "What do you mean?"

Rixelle: "Have you forgotten about Elaine?"

Joelle: "Your right! How is she?"

Rixelle: "Not good! I still haven't

regain the magic power that I've consumed in our battle, so I can't

heal her."

Joelle: "I can't heal her too. I'm also drained..."

River: "No, good if we don't do something she'll die..."

Joelle: "I can't let that happen to her

I won't forgive myself if she will die without even talking to Aaron...and also I'm one of her friends back then. So, I must save her no matter what because that's what friends are for!"

River: "Joelle..."

Rixelle: "Just what can we do from this point on?"

Sir Christian: "We shall take care of her for you, the medical unit that the council sent is here already!"

Joelle: "Thank you sir..."

Sir Christian: "I know that you are about to use that armor to save her so don't even think about it! Because when your magic power disappears or dries out you'll die, 'cause magic

is a part of our life force so we must be cautious when it comes to consuming magic."

Joelle: "Sorry, Sir..." the medical team lifts Elaine up and immediately rushed to the medical unit's tent.

–After a few minutes Elaine woke up

Elaine: "Where am I? It's night already? Well, time flies fast... Arghhhh!!!! Ouch!" (Huh!? why do

I have a wound in my stomach...

I remember now! Bianca attacked

me with a sword...I'm sorry Aaron

for what I...) tears sheds in her eyes leaving regrets for what she had

done to Aaron.

Joelle: "Don't worry, Elaine..." she turned around and looked at Joelle

Joelle: "Don't worry, Elaine it's not your fault. You haven't realized the truth since then so, don't beat yourself up too much."

Elaine: "I'm so sorry, Joelle...for what

I did to all of you."

Sir Christian: "I see that you've recovered from your wounds except from that wound in your stomach."

Elaine: "You are?"

Joelle: "He is a member of the council."

Elaine: "I'm aware of that!"

Joelle: "...and also our advisor in school."

Elaine: "Sorry... Sir, please forgive

me for what I have done to all of you."

Sir Christian: "Apology accepted!

Now, tell me dear how did you

ended up in the Zanderon Empire?"

Elaine: "Well, it started when I fell from the cliff...after that the Emperor of Zanderon found me. He let me stay in his bed for me to recover..."
