Chapter 15: Impending Doom

"...we should be on our way as soon as possible." Mirandria said as her hair waved gently from the cool breeze stirring the remains of the tent.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A distant away, the multiple defenses constructed by Danger crumpled, releasing potent residual of magic energies into the air. Unaware of the situation, many creatures were instantly vapourised upon contact with the negative energies. Silence descended quickly as death lingered on the still air.

Clashing thermals of wind generated a tornado spinning into the epicenter. The wind stirred the energies, creating a swirling vortex of destructive force hurling straight towards the path of the broken tent.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-Thiss be-e th- lasst cursse to-o you-!-

Mizon jumped as the air echoed from Danger's voice. "What's happening? Wasn’t Danger defeated by Engan Forgia? Why-?!"

Everyone stared at Mizon's face. Freinz was the first to react. "RUN!"

Mirandria began to summon a rising waveform but whatever energies she summoned were sucked into the approaching dark vortex. "It's no use! RUN!" Feoren clutched her hands and pulled her after the rest.

Kirlika managed to cast a time lock to contain the vortex temporaryly, giving them sufficient time to draw distance away from the gaining doom. Kirlika shaked as the attacking tonado changed direction towards them. "It IS no use! What gives it the ability to track us? No spirit's powers should be able to reach past the Portal of Void!"

"It's me. The mark which Danger set on me still exists..." Mizon stood up and faced the rest. "Jukla, take them somewhere safe-"

"NO! We live for this quest and die for whatever it gives! Without you, we cannot continue." Jukla looked towards Mirandria. "Can you do anything with Freinz to freeze or slow that attack?"

Mirandria started to speak when bright lights flashed beside her. Givera, Feoren's Guardian Spirit, and Civa, Freinz's Guardian Spirit, appeared. Jukla stared as the two Guardian Spirits greeted the group. "I didn't know they exist!"

Kirlika stepped between Feoren and Freinz. "No, no, no! I'll not allow you ametuers to waste your lives when you don't even know how to collaborate attacks!" Enva flashed into space as Kirlika attempted to stop Givera and Civa.

Stop; let's hear from them before concluding blindly!

"Fine, what do you have in mind?"

"We came up with an idea to stop it, but at the expense of this forest." Feoren began.

"WHAT?!" Jukla raged. "This is MY forest! I would not allow you idiots to temper with my..." Mizon pulled him away and attempted to calm him down.

"Continue..." Mizon beckoned.

"By using Freinz and my ultimate attacks, with the enhancing ability of our Guardian Spirits, we can implode this vortex by over-charging it with static though since we do not have an Electricity-based Elemental with us. The theory of extreme temperatures colliding into each other would-"

"MY FOREST...!" Jukla wailed from behind.

"-combust that black thing with an unknown radius..."

"NO..." Jukla shook uncontrollably from intense emotions. "...I beg you...no..."

"...likely to consume this entire forest." Freinz flinched as Jukla lunged at him. Kirlika managed to stop him from hitting Freinz.

"Since Kirlika's Guardian Spirit can cast effective shields from pure elemental attacks, we would presumely be safe." Mirandria noted.

"I HATE YOU!" Jukla fell upon Freinz and Feoren, binding them with living vines and sqeezing their life out. "I'LL KILL YOU!"

"Stop it Jukla, or you will face me." Kirlika's eyes glowed as Enva floated menacingly towards him.

Jukla paused in mid-strike, allowing Mizon to knock him unconscious. "Proceed quickly, else we can forget about Jukla's wrath to our deaths!"

Feoren rose, grasping for breath while Freinz struggled to stay conscious. "His grip is terrible. I’d rather-" Feoren stopped as Kirlika turned her glowering stare at him. "Fine, fine, but promise me and Freinz our safety after this."

Givera and Civa took hands and began to glow like Kirlika's eyes. Enva retreated with Kirlika behind them. Casting a negating shield, Kirlika entend out her mind and fused with Enva. Her vision sharpened as she began to identify all the possible weaknesses in the approaching black swirling vortex.

Communicating through Enva, Kirlika instructed Givera and Civa on Elemental Magnification and Elemental Transfusion between them, Feoren and Freinz. Feoren's body shivered as energies flooded into him. Similarly, Freinz's body shook from the effect of the energies around them. Shortly, they began to cast their respective contra-spells...
