Anthony: “Your voice…”670Please respect copyright.PENANAgAUIIr1LIF
670Please respect copyright.PENANAiuk5oZnhem
670Please respect copyright.PENANAHo2VpznQKZ
Anthony: “So, you’re our predecessor. I don’t know how you possessed Nao without Arc but I don’t care. Me and Artemis can take you.”
670Please respect copyright.PENANAHdNugpoDSz
670Please respect copyright.PENANAZODyOLF4Oe
Alphon: “Artemis? Ha! That crazy bitch found herself another replacement for her dead husband. Poor ma-”

Alphon: *Whistle*
670Please respect copyright.PENANARAnC96dbmJ

Alphon: “Good thing you’re a terrible shot.”
670Please respect copyright.PENANAtIKG5B9JwW
670Please respect copyright.PENANAXIDu2TTH2X
Anthony: “I already can guess her circumstances. There’s no way someone this powerful would willingly marry me.”
670Please respect copyright.PENANAzdSpBMwgQu
670Please respect copyright.PENANADNtidDVriV
Artemis: “Oh honey, you’re so understanding. I love you even more.”
670Please respect copyright.PENANAL1pvykTOgC
670Please respect copyright.PENANAFQt5b8PHO7
Anthony: “…Sure.”
670Please respect copyright.PENANA3bHA51ZLpD
670Please respect copyright.PENANAT6khcTA3Xy
Artemis: “Don’t pout love. I know what will make us happy, how about some more murder.”
670Please respect copyright.PENANAqJkBYSPswI
670Please respect copyright.PENANAPq6Ai5vaYZ
Alphon: “Man, stop switching so much. It’s creepy.”

Artemis: “Tch.”
670Please respect copyright.PENANAXjukE3m0tA
670Please respect copyright.PENANAtQoWTu9j4F
Anthony: “I rather not kill you when you’re possessing Nao. But I’ll do what I must.”
670Please respect copyright.PENANADryEpHjykq
670Please respect copyright.PENANA5j4oRemiWg
Alphon: “So you’ll fight me first?”
670Please respect copyright.PENANAwlv5xKlVM3
670Please respect copyright.PENANAds0ExEJUz8
Anthony: “…Why not? Despite her protests, I want to see how strong you were.”
670Please respect copyright.PENANA5ocQJU9Ew3
670Please respect copyright.PENANAKOavSswpei
Alphon: “I see. Well, don’t be blown away too quickly.”
670Please respect copyright.PENANAC4hc54cNX7
670Please respect copyright.PENANAAun4enUiHR
Alphon teleports, actually teleports, behind Anthony and back fists him through multiple classroom walls. I can hear distant lightning strikes waking Anthony up after that powerful blow.
670Please respect copyright.PENANAahSfEDq0Iq
670Please respect copyright.PENANAiZLkhzUdS5
Alphon: “Man you can’t take a hit. If you keep shocking yourself awake this won’t take long.”
670Please respect copyright.PENANAVR9a9vCOkA
670Please respect copyright.PENANAMALHluw76E
Anthony pushes rumble off himself and coughs up some blood.
670Please respect copyright.PENANAoi7QgT1uQN
670Please respect copyright.PENANA4UNsjgEBFT
Anthony: “How can…you use spells without Arc?”
670Please respect copyright.PENANABD8tUgRxUo
670Please respect copyright.PENANA9nYp6zuJGk
Alphon: “Arc is now really a source of magic kid. If you know how to cast yourself then Arc just makes things easier. I’ve learned everything Arc has to teach.”
670Please respect copyright.PENANAK9UWTIfpd3
670Please respect copyright.PENANApChYvsPL1a
Anthony: “…No Artemis, one more time.”
670Please respect copyright.PENANAnbeGBh29dS
670Please respect copyright.PENANA7SURHZRETY
Anthony unleashes a barrage of lightning blasts but they simply bounce off of Alphon’s transparent shield.
670Please respect copyright.PENANA5uxG1deNJP
670Please respect copyright.PENANAK39dPSAtrs
Alphon: “Better let Artemis fight kid, you might not survive the next one.”
670Please respect copyright.PENANANmvOOhrl97
670Please respect copyright.PENANA1pl5GGiJjs
Don’t kill him!
670Please respect copyright.PENANApRXTXoqbGB
670Please respect copyright.PENANAcnH2exhn8y
Alphon: “Don’t worry, I’ll try simple spells. But you gotta let me stretch my legs.”
670Please respect copyright.PENANA990002gMkZ
670Please respect copyright.PENANAQGg6XPuq3D
As Alphon says that, multiple globes of fire appear around him. He points at Anthony and the fireballs start chasing him. Anthony dodges most and blows up the few that get too close.
670Please respect copyright.PENANAZAtnY08tbQ
670Please respect copyright.PENANAnHoDRoo118
Alphon: “Keep running kid! Make it fun, it hasn’t even been a minute since we started.”
670Please respect copyright.PENANAXHLHE2Zdso
670Please respect copyright.PENANAH5JgDD06vC
Anthony: “Tch.”
670Please respect copyright.PENANADUGmQfyak6
670Please respect copyright.PENANANIlDZwTasd
Anthony stops running and charges up lightning in his palm. Any fireballs that get close get destroyed by the lightning filling the area around him.
670Please respect copyright.PENANAMrJDKT7WR2
670Please respect copyright.PENANA7W06CwMvQu
Alphon: “Sure, why not old fashioned clash.”
670Please respect copyright.PENANAPfBlwBfTFv
670Please respect copyright.PENANA8aQj89gpM8
Alphon points a finger at Anthony and charges blue energy. The energy sends ripples through the water around his feet and burns the air.
670Please respect copyright.PENANAZgVOYWtoRS
670Please respect copyright.PENANAjwPlTTyAyX
Anthony: “Thunderous Cataclysm!”
670Please respect copyright.PENANAFD1rAVhgJn
670Please respect copyright.PENANAevPDQxHiM0
A purple storm of lightning and death races towards Alphon. It rips apart and burns everything in its path. But Alphon only smiles at this.
670Please respect copyright.PENANA3fbH8Y4rqZ
670Please respect copyright.PENANAn02KuOaS7X
Alphon: “Magic Cannon.”
670Please respect copyright.PENANA4n8WyGGPeu
670Please respect copyright.PENANAId3Mtbf3F5
The energy in his finger first shrinks into nothing before ballooning into a massive wave of magical energy. It collides with Anthony’s attack which shatters all the grass in the building.
670Please respect copyright.PENANAiutujymlac
670Please respect copyright.PENANAB4CSM1lgnX
The sound of it was deafening. For that fragile moment, nothing moved and nothing breathed. It was silent and dead. As reality went mad from the power on display. But it was a moment, an infinitely small moment in time. It must pass.
670Please respect copyright.PENANAOqYNL1jnnn
670Please respect copyright.PENANAtdhkQMVD1C
And it did, the magic cannon ripped through Anthony’s attack and erased everything in its path. That entire part of the school…gone…just like that.
670Please respect copyright.PENANAhWA7FEKxkw
670Please respect copyright.PENANAv84xUUKjh1
What…have you done?
670Please respect copyright.PENANAxLatV87GHl
670Please respect copyright.PENANA82N48HZg8m
Alphon: “Don’t worry, I made sure there was no one left in that. The ones there I used long-range teleport to move them elsewhere.”
670Please respect copyright.PENANA4BBuAQRx18
670Please respect copyright.PENANAgBJld3V2Eb
And what about Anthony!?
670Please respect copyright.PENANAmJ1Fq1OKFn
670Please respect copyright.PENANABJC3QTRmTr
Alphon: “I’m sure Artemis will save him. That attack was too weak to end them both.”
670Please respect copyright.PENANAEDr5cW1xjN
670Please respect copyright.PENANAvPjhw2BntZ
Weak?
670Please respect copyright.PENANASJgwuXJGQX
*Drip*670Please respect copyright.PENANAbIOWCNTaUS
670Please respect copyright.PENANAv4F2csSZXd
Alphon touches his nose and again, it’s bleeding.
670Please respect copyright.PENANAMb2Y5Z9kzz
670Please respect copyright.PENANAmK0M8XWI8L
Alphon: “You gotta be-”
670Please respect copyright.PENANAjHaSI3ZZRx
670Please respect copyright.PENANAOqEcOue6Wt
A flash of purple light from the lights above catches Anthony off guard. From it, a being of purple electricity escapes into our reality. That being soon forms into a slightly burned Anthony with a spear made of lightning. 670Please respect copyright.PENANAK0p4u6Uz7Y
670Please respect copyright.PENANA8zNHnEVWK2
670Please respect copyright.PENANAvDj740nxyb
Artemis: “My turn.”
670Please respect copyright.PENANAV0Eb21daR6
670Please respect copyright.PENANAJ42MQf551h
Artemis slams hard onto Alphon who blocks it with his magic-reinforced hands.
670Please respect copyright.PENANARaM9Lu4uLL
Alphon: “Damn Arc, you taught Nao the crystal mana center. This shit is really unstable and unpredictable. The power and growth speed are not worth it.”
670Please respect copyright.PENANA2NUk4UYzBn
670Please respect copyright.PENANAvK1bbSmaB5
The lightning spear starts to burn through the magic reinforcements and shock Alphon.
670Please respect copyright.PENANAS51KrrQSqj
670Please respect copyright.PENANAQLHLaM21md
Alphon: “Guh. Hehe, that’s more like it.”
670Please respect copyright.PENANAzQMDPjAfBB
670Please respect copyright.PENANAcrAxcrGux8
Alphon commands the surrounding water to form a fist to punch Artemis off. She takes the hit and bounces back into the fight. Alphon wipes off the blood and summons two swords of blue light.
670Please respect copyright.PENANA6eaagyfKwo
670Please respect copyright.PENANAk4wif6R4bX
They clash in the hallway and exchange hundreds of attacks. Far faster than I can keep up. It’s of such intensity that the water begins to run in fear of it. A sphere of heat and power surrounds this display of power. But someone had to break eventually.
670Please respect copyright.PENANAwUPPGe4P3L
670Please respect copyright.PENANAUlTZ1JcsfL
Alphon finds an opening and kicks Artemis in the chin. The blow lefts her off the ground and through the ceiling.
670Please respect copyright.PENANAg4UelmxadJ
670Please respect copyright.PENANAkP7Hes15dq
Alphon: “Brace yourself.”
670Please respect copyright.PENANA8km7Q4PHMT
670Please respect copyright.PENANA5iUzM6DcI0
Alphon readies some type of martial art and waits until Artemis returns to striking distance. When that happened he delivered a soul-destroying blow to her body, sending her flying far off.
670Please respect copyright.PENANAnHDN1UoYwq
670Please respect copyright.PENANAMeG6X1B41A
Alphon: “She’s good.”
670Please respect copyright.PENANAAMqmo5MjUc
670Please respect copyright.PENANADA6YdBkhjr
Alphon looks at his scorched fist.
670Please respect copyright.PENANAGjncNZ4DuE
670Please respect copyright.PENANAPd8bzcwY6H
Alphon: “But, I’m better.”
670Please respect copyright.PENANA85zBedmHmA
670Please respect copyright.PENANAUlMnNQp7NL
Alphon opens his fist to reveal Arc! Alphon puts Arc around his neck and once again I can his voice.
670Please respect copyright.PENANAyQy6QCSHQM
670Please respect copyright.PENANAI2cXg56Zef
Arc: “Welcome back…master.”
670Please respect copyright.PENANA2yZWfo2Wlw
670Please respect copyright.PENANAAX6VZxOl97
Alphon: “Hey, Nao is the master. He has clearly proved to be worthy of you.”
670Please respect copyright.PENANA6rnYwlvf2g
670Please respect copyright.PENANAEKpb3Cr9Jr
Arc: “No one is more worthy than you Alphon.”
670Please respect copyright.PENANAEr2yNQZc3G
670Please respect copyright.PENANAbQVPBsetwr
Alphon: “Sure but this has gone long enough. Stop trying to overwrite his consciousness with mine.”
670Please respect copyright.PENANAqK7DT7P6rG
670Please respect copyright.PENANAgbb2DO9PU2
He tried to do what?
670Please respect copyright.PENANAf4swgOw7Jq
670Please respect copyright.PENANAZI924SqUTL
Alphon: “He’ll explain after all of this and apologize. Won’t you Arc?”
670Please respect copyright.PENANAsIgxVBcVjQ
670Please respect copyright.PENANA4ng4ADaPeM
Arc: “…Yes.”
670Please respect copyright.PENANACNKt6VOMFI
670Please respect copyright.PENANAAW4RfVt7aF
This is all just…insane.
670Please respect copyright.PENANA8QSVuLylJm
670Please respect copyright.PENANAjcyRlKcXn5
Alphon: “This is only the shallow waters kid. Now, let’s see where she landed.”
…
…670Please respect copyright.PENANAw902mZEXOI
Alphon: “I guess I can’t teleport anymore. Damn, this magic center. At least this body is healing nicely, I won’t have to fight for much longer.”
670Please respect copyright.PENANACczycGYsb7
670Please respect copyright.PENANAHIujpCvyVy
Alphon pushes off and glides over the ground at incredible speeds. It didn’t take any time at all to find Artemis at the school gym. 670Please respect copyright.PENANAI89fCr1NZk
670Please respect copyright.PENANAQDFraWC7lL
670Please respect copyright.PENANAUvNDdtxs9H
She was still on the ground breathing heavily.
670Please respect copyright.PENANAZAnfOXbu5k
670Please respect copyright.PENANA387mjCTZR1
Alphon: “Damn, I might have overdone it. You okay Arms?”
670Please respect copyright.PENANA3QsT6ZekGN
670Please respect copyright.PENANA7hzrlzlzB6
Artemis: “Don’t…call me that.”
670Please respect copyright.PENANAjhh5SFwv5X
670Please respect copyright.PENANAVS1NxO48Gu
Seriously, what is your relationship with her?
670Please respect copyright.PENANAHvYFGeUhxC
670Please respect copyright.PENANAvtwCvSz4Cr
Alphon: “A good question, for another time. We got things to do right?”
670Please respect copyright.PENANAOcgNXYGFmh
670Please respect copyright.PENANAEO9dGAjPHZ
Yeah, let me take over.
670Please respect copyright.PENANASaK3nfXewG

???: “Nao?”
670Please respect copyright.PENANAlwAgIavzmD
670Please respect copyright.PENANARgDpRhmvDJ
We look over to Alyson, Deanna, and an unconscious Trevor hiding in the corner of the gym.
670Please respect copyright.PENANAv6GYlA9Xzk
670Please respect copyright.PENANACFzNd858Bp
Alphon: “Oh, Nao’s sister he somehow fell for you.”
670Please respect copyright.PENANAb1FBRfjDVf
670Please respect copyright.PENANAC2wkg1IEdN
Wasn’t that a bit of your influence? I only started to feel these things after I transformed into you.
670Please respect copyright.PENANATrG074r2cJ
670Please respect copyright.PENANA6LIexD2VkH
Alphon: “…Not entirely. Anyway, forgive your brother would you. He didn’t mean to break your heart.”
670Please respect copyright.PENANASJ3c2N2DpI
670Please respect copyright.PENANABfuhiGBWqZ
Alyson: “Wha-”
670Please respect copyright.PENANAf1L8eHJFcG

Artemis: “Alphon!”
670Please respect copyright.PENANAO0nt4t3372
670Please respect copyright.PENANAk0gWa9NJTI
Artemis forces herself up, despite the serious wounds.
670Please respect copyright.PENANA5URb5nBtED
670Please respect copyright.PENANAqXUnaEGMXE
Artemis: “For hurting me and my husband, I’m going to turn everything here to ashes.”
670Please respect copyright.PENANA06T2AlrV4b
670Please respect copyright.PENANAq1zPSoonbL
The lights begin to flicker violently and lightning starts to strike everywhere. Eventually, all the lights go out and we can see is the light from the giant lightning ball.
670Please respect copyright.PENANADH0blIZZzd
670Please respect copyright.PENANA8PqI9veLJo
Alphon: “Wow Arms, really?”
670Please respect copyright.PENANAOnHKugcicW
670Please respect copyright.PENANAGkr2bpEAyJ
Artemis: “Knowing you, you’ll try to save those kids. Take this if you can.”
670Please respect copyright.PENANAr7rqZRe3da
670Please respect copyright.PENANACtwptM05Eh
She unleashes the lightning ball in a massive explosion that covers the entire gym. Alphon rushes to Alyson’s group and summons a massive magic barrier.
670Please respect copyright.PENANAws4QwZgAb5
*BOOM*670Please respect copyright.PENANAM8PDp5gdNG
670Please respect copyright.PENANAG9bOLWpZLB
For a while, there was nothing but white and the smell of burning metal and wood. When the smoke clears and the light fades, everything in the gym is either burnt or melted. Everything except what’s behind Alphon. The most important things.
670Please respect copyright.PENANAkVseuh4J71
670Please respect copyright.PENANAkxsWzRoGcL
But it came at a cost. I could feel some burns on Alphon too. The bleeding nose returns and Alphon is forced to his knees.
670Please respect copyright.PENANADmkmPA5c2O
670Please respect copyright.PENANAApdVG8bbae
Alphon: “Sorry, I couldn’t block everything. This pushes you healing back a bit but-”
670Please respect copyright.PENANASNYC4e7O45
670Please respect copyright.PENANAozUfSdAUkK
Got it, I can handle it from here. My body shrinks, my eyes return to blue and I look like me again.
670Please respect copyright.PENANAiSvFGgvpzl
670Please respect copyright.PENANASIKlI7biaV
The lights flicker back on but dimmer. The soft light reveals the true devastation of the area. I can’t help but gasp in awe of such power. In the center of it all is Artemis, still recovering from the strain.
670Please respect copyright.PENANAcXAir13NQZ
670Please respect copyright.PENANAYie96WcQK1
Artemis: “Damn, I don’t even have enough energy to keep the lightning cage activate. I’m sorry…my love.”
…

Anthony: “It’s alright, I’ll take it from here.”
670Please respect copyright.PENANAKx6TWKoqAE

Antony gets up and looks toward me with the same determination as before.

670Please respect copyright.PENANAJTVzNT3BYk
670Please respect copyright.PENANAWBG9XlWx4i
I look behind me at Alyson shaking with fear and Deanna holding onto Trevor for dear life.
670Please respect copyright.PENANA7oh86RyPbU

Anthony: “…”670Please respect copyright.PENANAqGP82Psga4

670Please respect copyright.PENANAUUKdJ4zBsT
670Please respect copyright.PENANAc6dVXJ0ia0
Anthony summons the last of his strength and takes a battle stance. We do the same, me with arc and everyone else with their magic items.
670Please respect copyright.PENANAlQD4G4zoxM

The final clash, starts now.
