Chapter 30

Act One

“Wow, so this is Belle Vernon. Gorin sure did a number on this place” Jeff said to himself as he could not believe the level of destruction that had taken place in the small town.

“Yeah, he did didn’t he. Well, we should probably find a house with some type of running water and food at least. It should be a start” said Ness as he saw a small house that was still standing. It looked to be in one of the more isolated parts of town, and seemed to still have power consider a light was left on. The place still had plenty of damage but at least it was a place to regroup for a while.

“You know. I don’t feel right about going into someone’s home and eating there food and such” said Paula.

“No need to worry Paula. This is actually my place. I’m surprised it’s still standing in actuality. We had this place built to withstand an earthquake, so I guess it could take the punishment. This place also runs on an independent power source so the food should still be good so here” Tom said as he tossed everyone some food from his fridge.

“How’s the healing coming on Mike, Poo?” said Dave while stuffing his face as much as he could.

“After about five Healing Omegas I think that he’s as good as new. He should be waking up within the hour fully healed and hopefully with full psychic abilities. If we encounter any trouble, we’ll need them” said Poo taking a breath as the tiring side-effects of using high amounts of Psi in a short amount of time took effect.

“Wow, his body certainly looks hundreds of times better than what it did before. Those Psi recovery techniques must be nice to have” said Tom while stuffing food into his mouth.

“It really is a tragedy what these four Horsemen of Apocalypse have been able to do while we’ve been planning and such. First here, Scarab, and a line of other areas all over the place, all just to draw us out of hiding so that they could do to us what they did to Mike!” Paula tensely exclaimed while looking outside seeing the full extent of the destruction that had happened.

“I’m just thinking of all the innocence that has suffered because of our foolishness right now. So many have lost their homes, their friends, their families, and everything else because we didn’t take action, I wouldn’t be surprised if another place has come under attack recently, like Onett” said Dave grievingly as he could not stand to eat another bite of his food because of the thoughts of those who have been lost over the last two weeks.

“It’s not like we had much of a choice, so don’t be upset man. If we would have tried to protect every place on Earth then we would have lost long ago. While we were on our quest to defeat Giygas, many places came under attack because of him. Many were lost and we went to every funeral of those who died trying to fight or who were even caught in the crossfire. It was our way of saying thanks for having hope. At times I couldn’t bear to go to another one, but I felt it was the least I could do for those people who sacrificed themselves for that cause” said Jeff with a slight tear in his eyes remembering all of those painful days of the funerals of those lost during the Giygas wars.

“What’s that your currently working on Jeff?” said Ness with some intrigue in his eyes waiting to see Jeff’s latest device.

“It’s supposed to have superior power to my Gaia Beam, but I can’t get the darn thing to even turn on yet. I’m going to call it the Archangel after I complete it” said Jeff while working on a relatively small device seeming to be just a broke satellite dish just disassembled and put back together with a few enhancements.

“Interesting choice of names there Jeff” Tom said sarcastically as he finished the last of his food. “Anyone want seconds, I have plenty of food to get rid of here” said Tom starting to head for the kitchen.

“You know…it would be nice to give a…neighbor some food” said Mike as he was slowly and painfully getting up. “Especially since he hasn’t eaten for what seems like a week.”

“Well, welcome back Mike” said Paula.

“You gave us a good scare for a while there you know” said Jeff.

“It’s only been three days Mike” said Ness while Mike hit himself right in the middle of the forehead slowly bringing his hand down his face knowing that Ness just got him good.

“I guess it hasn’t been as long as I thought then. I’ll still eat like it’s been a week though” said Mike as Tom handed him a plate of food.

The rest of the team was almost disgusted at the way Mike ate. With the exception of using silverware, he had absolutely no manners. Everyone in that room had never seen someone devour food like he did. He finished his first plate in under a minute. “More please” said Mike holding out his plate while everyone else just stared at Mike. “What, I haven’t eaten in three days here, so I’m just a little hungry.”

“My good God man, you really don’t have manners when you’re hungry. Should I set the pig up a trough so he can just eat his fill” said Tom as everyone in the room had a quick laugh or giggle after that last comment.

“Hey lay off man, did you just rescue me to poke fun at me or are we going to get down to business once I’m done eating here?!” Mike said as a comeback to Tom as everyone couldn’t help but laugh a little at the current scene. Mike and Tom were going at it like siblings and it was absolutely hilarious. It went on for about ten minutes while Mike ate and Tom made smart comments.

“Geez, you two really can put each other down” said Paula shaking her head as she couldn’t believe the sight she was seeing even though she was still laughing pretty hard.

“Why not, we are students of the same discipline in a way at least. We pretty much have the right to tear into each other like we do, right Mike” Mike shook his yes to Tom while Mike sucked down his sixth plate of food.

“Ahhhh, that was some good food Tom. Glad it didn’t go to waste” said Mike as he got a serious look on his face all of a sudden. “Okay, now that that’s over with, time to get down to business. First off, where is Casie?”

“She went off to train somewhere. That’s all we know” said Jeff coming over his laughing.

“Not exactly Jeff, I know where Casie is and with who” said Poo.

“Let me guess, she’s in Belle Vernon training with Nolan and Ryan” said Mike as Poo shook his head yes. “That’s predictable that she would keep contact with someone, train with those two, and train here.”

“So that’s why Poo was so eager to get down here. Ness, did you know about this as well” said Paula as she looked into Ness’s eyes as Ness shook his head yes. Paula could just tell Ness knew something when Mike said what he did. Paula could read Ness like a book. “Figures.”

“Everyone will be united as one group then. Finally, we can get serious about this here” said Dave.

“What do you mean serious? We’ve been giving it everything we have right now and we’ve nearly gotten killed several times!” yelled Paula right in Dave’s ear.

“Well, let’s just say if the Horsemen of Apocalypse we in the remote area, they would be in trouble” said Dave as he pulled a pendant from his neck. “This is a relic from Avalon. It senses the strongest power and points a straight angle if the power overwhelms all other aura. It also glows a certain color to determine the percent of Psi and magic classes that that aura can tap into. And this thing’s glowing white and pointing straight. I think someone has an overwhelmingly high power, and it’s not in this room” said Dave with a stern look while smiling at the same time.

“That would be Nolan, no doubt he’s nearby. His power is of the light and elemental class, the reason for that thing glowing the way it does. If that thing is pointing at Nolan, they would be in trouble. I never gave you guys the full story of our battle with Godon did I” everybody in the room shook their heads, besides Tom since he was the only other one there. Mike and Tom preceded to tell everything about that final battle.

When Tom finished the story, everyone was shocked. “What did you just say?! Nolan matched Godan move for move until Godan’s ultimate attack at full power!” screamed Poo in absolute disbelief that any human could reach that level of power.

“Yeah, he did. Like I said, the only reason I probably wasn’t killed was because of my fight with Lance kept me out of the battle with Godan for so long. By the time I got there, only Nolan was still standing. I tried to fight him, but I didn’t even compare to Nolan’s power. Godan used some sort of energy blast to finally beat Nolan. That’s when I used the Infinity End Fate and realized time speeder involuntarily. It was only through luck that we even won” said Mike with his hands shaking, still remembering that battle. Mike was so upset emotionally that his entire body started to twitch.

“Hmm…so when this group is fully united then we might be able to gain the upper hand for a little bit” said Jeff with a look of hope on his face for the first time in a while.

“It depends on where their powers are at but we might if we encounter them soon” said Tom but Dave’s eyes all of a sudden got the deer in the headlights look on them.

“I think we’re going to find out soon guys” said Dave pulling out his pendant showing that it was glowing a deep black and pointing so strongly in another direction that in made the bottom of the pendant tremble.

“This is bad” said Ness as he started to find his things and started equipping for battle.

“Guys, they’re closing in and fast. You were right Ness. They must have had spies in this area, from what you told me earlier, and they must be coming to finish us off. I would suggest any recovery techniques to get us physically at full power so we can at least do something. Poo, contact Casie and see if she can come to area right now, we’ll need everyone to stand a chance” said Mike with a commanding look on his face.

“How do you know that Mike, and what to do right now?” said Jeff.

“Remember, Godan and I are psychically linked and can sense each other over a couple of miles naturally. I say we maybe have two minutes until they get up here so better move and get everything equipped.”

“Do you know how many of them there are Mike?” said Tom while going upstairs for something while Ness was doing constant Lifeup Omegas to raise everyone physical strength to normal.

“I can answer that for him. I’m sensing all four of them” said Paula with a panicked look on her face.

“Shit!” cursed Tom as he ran upstairs as fast as he could.

“Couldn’t we just run Mike” said Poo looking like he wanted to bolt and now.

“No we can’t. They would just keep hunting us down until they did find us, and probably in a much more populated area as well. We need to show superiority in power on all levels so they stay away for a little bit. I’m a master tactician so I’ll stay on the sidelines as I’m not fully healed yet. I can just bark orders. Especially since I will know Godan’s every move, as well as some of the others from the other three because of being psychically linked to him, I think the sidelines are perfect for me right now” said Mike trying to stand very painfully.

“Well, sidelines or not get some better clothes than those torn up rags you have on right now. Here Mike, I grabbed some old clothes that will fit you while looking for this” said Tom as he sheathed his Christ Blade.

“Should I turn around Mike” said Paula blushing slightly knowing that it was going to be embarrassing if Mike were to change in front of her, the only girl of the entire group right now.

“No, there’s no need” said Mike as he stripped off his clothes and revealed why. His armor didn’t just cover his left leg now but it covered everything up to his torso. “My armor is partially organic and symbiotic to its wearer, so I can regenerate it when I’m healing or not near death. It only takes a little bit, soon I’m going to summon it off but it covers any private areas as you can see” as Mike finished getting some better looking clothes on, just a simple martial arts outfit that Tom had that was small enough for Mike. A little different compared to his usual blue jeans and t-shirt.

“Okay, we only have about thirty seconds so let’s move people!” said Ness as he ran straight outside ready to fight. He wasn’t letting everything he and everyone else had sacrificed around him be for nothing. Ness also knew that he right now was the strongest and could take most of the onslaught for a small while.

“Alright, I contacted Casie and she said she should be coming up here with Nolan and Ryan as soon as possible” said Poo as he dawned his equipment and ran outside along with Ness.

“Jeff, do you think your tactics will come into play now, since all four are here” said Paula with an odd look on her face.

“Not anymore, Mike still can’t fight…”

“Hey! I can still fight!” Mike screamed interrupting Jeff halfway.

“You’re only at fifty percent. I don’t think you can fight now. The majority of us are also weakened from our latest escapade. We’ll have to make do with what we have” said Jeff as he started to run outside along with everyone else besides Mike and Paula.

“Paula, I need you to stay on the sidelines with me. Even though I just said I can fight I know I can’t. That and your Psi shield abilities are going to help tip this into our favor right now. Oh yeah, how good is your contact telepathy” Mike said very quickly as his body started to tremble feeling Godan’s power directly.

“Extremely good, why?” Paula asked with a weird look on her face wondering where this was going.

“Well, it would be easier for me to guide everyone if I was able to guide everyone telepathically instead of vocally. I just need a medium to use that type of communication through, namely you Paula” said Mike as he started to try and go outside but feel down before getting to the steps.

“I think you need some help anyway so I’ll stay behind. This better work though” said Paula as she got Mike back on his feet.

“It will” said Mike.

Meanwhile about a good fourth of a mile away from Tom’s house Ness, Jeff, Poo, Tom, and Dave were prepared to fight the four Horsemen of Apocalypse. A loud explosion with a huge shockwave hit everyone by surprise and when the dust cleared there they were. The four Horsemen of Apocalypse in their human forms. “Well, well, well, it looks like we found you. Regardless that you tried to cleverly hide yourselves” one of them said. The majority had only seen what one of the Horsemen of Apocalypse had looked like, namely Giygas. Dave had only gotten a good look at Gorin, so he could only identify him. Let alone no one knew if they could have changed their forms since their last meetings.

“What do you want with us?! Why don’t you just give up this charade and attack us as yourselves?! You did so with Mike, Gorin, and with out a slight reservation about it! Why don’t you attack us now in those forms since the majority of us are here!” Ness screamed calling out all four at once to go into their true forms, as Dave had told everyone that Gorin had done when he fought Mike.

“Ness, you have always been such the fool. There is no need for us to achieve those forms anymore. We are at fifty percent of our power and do not need to go to such extreme lengths to defeat you little nuisances anymore” said another one of the horsemen, it looked to be Giygas but no one was trusting their eyes right now. After that statement from what seemed to be Giygas, everyone took a step back.

“Fifty percent, well then, I suppose you think you hold an advantage over all of us. You may have the power but we hold the numbers with more coming as we speak. It’s four to five with that in our favor. I don’t think you four can even stop what I’m about to do” said Poo as he started to perform some weird motions that were blindly quick.

“Poo, wait” said Tom as he put his hand in front of Poo telling him to stop, since Tom knew Poo’s discipline so well it would be obvious Tom knew what Poo was about to do. “You don’t need to go to such extremes early on Poo. I know you could beat them with that but I don’t think it would be worth it. No one would be happy with that now would they”. Poo nodded his head to Tom and as Tom went on with his speech. “Look, you four have no idea what you are about to face so I would suggest you run or you will regret it!”

“Do you honestly think that? Even if all of you were together in one area your power could even amount to what we have started to achieve. With every second passing we grow stronger becoming superior to you in every way” said one of the four as he charged straight for Tom.

<Tom! Move to your left now!> said a voice in Tom’s head as Tom quickly move to his left dodging the assault. The other three were shocked that their brother had missed Tom.

One looked up and saw Mike in the distance with Paula being a crutch for him. “Figures, Godan shouldn’t have made the charge since that boy is telepathically linked to him” one of them said aloud.

Tom quickly tried to retaliate but missed as Godan was too fast for him and Godan quickly retreated once he saw Mike. “Darn, Godan’s faster than I could have imagined. If Mike hadn’t been around, I would have been a goner for sure” Tom thought to himself as he wiped the sweat from his face under the hot July sun.

That’s all everyone needed to start things off. Ness quickly went straight for Rockin’ Omega to show that this would be a fight and not just a massacre. All were affected with some scratches on their human forms with the exception of the now confirmed Giygas, since he was the only one unaffected. No blood came from those scratches and they all quickly healed them. “Is that all you have?!” said Giegue, since he was the only one someone didn’t recognize. All four at once charged and tried to strike Ness, Tom, Dave and Jeff. Poo at this point tried to quickly ward them off with a Starstorm Omega but it had no affect.

Ness blocked Godan’s attacked and parried quickly showing that the two were even in strength. He was the only one lucky enough to go without a scratch. Giegue drilled Jeff with a punch sending Jeff flying back about one hundred feet landing hard. Tom was in direct combat with Gorin trying to slash Gorin with his Christ Blade but he couldn’t even come close to hitting Gorin as he dodged every slash with easy, even though Paula and Mike couldn’t even follow Tom and Gorin they were moving so fast. Dave was trying to keep his distance from Giygas as he was firing a massive volley of arrows straight at him but Giygas proved to be powerful enough to catch them all throwing each one back at twice the speed. Dave had to quickly throw up a magic barrier to even withstand the attacks but he got the worst of it all being badly damage very quickly.

<Poo, help Jeff since he’s against Giegue right now. Dave use your swords not arrows against Giygas that might help gain some advantage over him…> Mike said as he quickly started giving movement orders to tried and keep everything straight and provide some assistance to the battle. Paula was consistently putting up psychic shields as Psi attacks were flying in every direction.

Jeff and Poo were having to try as hard as they could to keep up with Giegue. As one would attack he would quickly attack the other side then throw the other into the fray of the others assault. Jeff would have been out within the first minute if Paula’s psychic shields were constantly being reinforced. “Jeff, you have any weapons besides the Gaia Beam” said Poo frantically as he was fighting Giegue head on hand-to-hand trying to stall as Jeff recovered from being throw into another Starstorm Omega and being save by another shield.

“I do, but it’s untested” said Jeff as he started to pull out something that looked like the broken satellite dish he had gotten before. “It’s nuclear powered! If even one thing is wrong with this thing we all go boom!” said Jeff as he turned the thing on seeing it was his best bet at the moment.

“Just use it!” said Poo as Giegue him hard sending Poo flying. Jeff saw his chance and prepared to fire.

“If this works, I’ll fry Giegue in one shot. If it doesn’t, this baby explodes and we all go straight to a condition worst then Hell!” Jeff thought to himself as he pulled the trigger on his new weapon. The blast was fire at light speed and couldn’t even be seen by even Giegue. All that was known that Jeff even fired something is that the entire right side of Giegue’s body had been completely incinerated.

“What did you just do to me?!” as Giegue screamed, loud enough to shake the ground, in pain trying to heal his body and from the tremendous damage he just received.

“It’s called the Gamma Gun, Giegue. It uses a miniature nuclear reactor to power its tremendous blast which can’t be seen or heard. That blast is a concentrated ray of gamma radiation at a high enough level to take out an army. Since it’s gamma radiation this thing fires, it’s invisible an extremely dangerous since it can screw up and fry any type of matter and energy without any warning. That includes you!” Jeff quickly explained as Giegue was completely stunned. Poo quickly took advantage of Giegue being disabled and quickly started to pound away at Giegue trying to at least wear him out.

“I would think that a descendant of Avalon could use more powerful magic than what pathetic levels you are using!” said Giygas as he kept his onslaught on Dave completely continuous. Dave only had his magic to save him right now. Every time Giygas knocked Dave back even a few inches he would use a protection spell just to withstand the next oncoming attack.

“I have more, but you deflect energy attacks unless they’re extremely powerful by what I’ve seen and heard” Dave thought to himself as he chanted another protection barrier. Dave was like a rag doll to Giygas and Giygas want to make sure to finish the job he started in Siberia. After about another thirty seconds Dave just disappeared into thin air.

“Where did he go to?” said Giygas as he looked around to see what type of trick this was. He soon felt about ten object go right through him.

“I’m a master hunter as well as magician Giygas. That means I have mastered all forms of stealth. Now feel one of the ultimate attacks of Avalon!” Dave said as he started to pull out an item but Giygas quickly pulled the arrows out of his body and threw them at Dave breaking his concentration. Dave quickly pulled out his Avalon Blade and went back to the fight head-on at Giygas.

<Left, right, duck, block…> Mike was saying to Ness through Paula to try and tell Ness every move that Godan was going to make and how to dodge it before Godan even did it. It was working so far neutralizing Godan physical advantage over Ness with tactics.

This was probably the most intense part of the battle: Ness and Godan. Strongest versus strongest. It was so blindly quick that everyone would take a glance for a moment just to see what was going on. When Godan you attack, Ness would counter and attack, but Godan move do the same. It was a game of chess with Mike as Ness’s coach just telling him every move, but Ness had been able to read Godan so well that he would predict Godan before Mike could read his mind. It was truly a clash of the titans.

After about ten minutes of pure mayhem with the scales going completely back forth, fatigue started to set in as previous fights started to take their toll on Ness and the others as the four Horsemen of Apocalypse started to land more blows with both Psi and physical power. This fight was going to be won by endurance and not power, and that’s where the Horsemen of Apocalypse had the biggest advantage of all.

“Damn it! I can’t even land one blow on Godan even with Mike predicting his every move. Everyone else seems to be moving slower and…” Nes could never finish that thought as Godan had struck the first blow in his fight with Ness and it felt like Ness ran head first into a brick wall. Ness had to struggle just to get back on his feet. Godan then started to pummel Ness like had done to Mike earlier. Ness couldn’t use his bat to defend anymore and his body was quickly getting the life stomped out of it. Fates would have leveled the field for everyone but they had no time to even use them except Paula, but she was out of psychic energy after doing around fifty Shield Sigmas.

“Guys, I think were screwed” said Tom as all four horsemen were about to attack everyone at once seeing a perfect opportunity. Everyone closed their eyes waiting for their final judgment to arrive and everyone all of a sudden felt the ground shake extremely violently.

“I guess our time of Rapture is about to occur” Jeff thought to himself as a slight tear started to roll down his cheek sad that he failed. About ten seconds later the ground was still shaking and Jeff noticed his heart was still beating. “If I’m dead, this should not be working anymore” Jeff thought to himself as he opened his eyes to see all four of the Horsemen of Apocalypse thrown back about fifty feet with the ground still shaking.

“Talk about timing for an earthquake!” said Poo as he went down to his hands and knee just to try and stay in one place. Poo then saw something spectacular happen. A tremendous explosion of energy took place right where all four Horsemen of Apocalypse were.

“What in God’s name just happened Mike?” said Paula in absolute shock at the miracle that just happened.

“I don’t know. I’ve never seen anything like that ever happen before” Mike said as his jaw dropped about six inches because he was completely taken aback by what had just happened. My then looked up to god for answers, three seconds later he grinned. “About time” he thought.

“Brother what just happened. You said none of these weaklings have that type of power” Giegue said to Godan absolutely shock that anyone could do something like that. Everyone all of a sudden saw a figure slowly descend from the sky with a calm stance once he was on the ground. He had really short hair, thin but slight muscular build, and just a t-shirt and blue jeans on.

“Psi…PK Bomb…Zeta.” Calmly said the boy as he slowly formed a ball of energy in his hand and threw it towards the Horsemen of Apocalypse. It exploded in a spectacular explosion which put everyone on Ness’s side in awe. Whoever this was was on the side of the Horsemen of Light.

“Ryan! What took you so frickin’ long to get your butt down here?! You really could have gotten here a lot faster than you did and you know that. We’ve been getting our butts kicked while you took your good old time getting here!” Tom yelled very quickly in complete rage as he recognized Ryan right off the bat.

“Thanks” said Ryan as he started to walk towards Ness and everyone else. “That should stun them for only a moment. I suggest someone put up a barrier before this gets ugly” said Ryan as Dave was already chanting a very long and complex chant. Once the spell was complete a circle that looked like that of some sort of magic appeared below Ness, Jeff, Poo, Tom, and Dave. As the barrier started to rise Giygas tried to quickly charge inside but was hit with a tremendous amount of energy sending him flying backwards once again.

“Thanks for the help Casie” said Ryan as Casie started to run towards everyone.

“No problem Ryan” said Casie out of breath.

“Casie, what took you so long to get up here?” Poo questioned through the barrier.

“We split up to throw them off their guard. It looks like it worked. Hey Ryan, didn’t Nolan get here yet?” said Casie with a slight look of confusion on her face. All four Horsemen were up by this point and ready to fight once again.

“This is bad” Ryan calmly said as he drew his sword, the Masamune. Casie brought out her staff as she was ready to take on all four of the Horsemen of Apocalypse when someone beat them to it, sending all four back effortlessly. That someone appeared out of thin air, or at least it seemed that he did. He was in a trench coat and did not look happy.

“I’m guessing that would be Nolan in the trench coat right Mike” Paula said.

“Yeah, that’s him. I would suggest you find a way to recharge and fast. That barrier Dave put up isn’t going to last long and you and I might have to get involved directly really soon” Mike said as Paula got to her knees into a prayer position. “What good will that do” Mike thought to himself as he saw his armor starting to finally start to cover his hands. “I only need ten more minutes guys. Then everyone will be able to fight. Hopefully it will be at full power.”

As Mike and Paula were trying to figure out what to do next, the Horsemen of Apocalypse were still trying to recover from the recently series of powerful attacks they had just endured. “You know. I don’t like the fact that it was you four and against seven fatigued warriors. I prefer it when you throw in three fresh warriors on the side of the seven to even the odds a little” said Nolan as he pulled two guns out of his trench coat ready to fight.

“What good will those archaic weapons do to us? We are immortal after all, and are constantly going stronger” said Giygas as he started to approach Nolan looking to snap Nolan’s head off his shoulders.

“One, if you live in this universe you abide by its one constant, nothing will exist forever. Two, I don’t think these are archaic weapons either” said Nolan as he fired what sounded like one shot. All four Horsemen of Apocalypse were hit by separate bullets though.

“It is futile to even try to defeat us now. Even if you do destroy us now, we will just come back” said Giygas as he was amazed by Nolan’s speed to fire a gun and hit every target.

“That’s why we won’t!” Ness screamed through the barrier Dave had put up. Casie quickly made a charge for the four when she got beaten back quite easily and decided to retreat just as fast.

“Alright, here’s the reason why I was gone for so long guys!” Casie said triumphantly as she started to concentrate her energy in both of her hands and then brought them together. This could only mean one thing, “I’ve finally master this technique’s final form! Psi Titan Omega!” Casie screamed at the top of her lungs as she released Titan Omega, and this time it worked. She fired her ultimate technique and it seemed unstoppable as it made a direct hit. All four Horsemen were gone “Wait! This can’t be right, they must dodged it some…HOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” Casie screamed in agonizing pain as she was Giygas touched Casie on her back and held his hand there. Casie started to scream in horrify pain as everyone else saw the other three Horsemen of Apocalypse were blown back by Casie’s power. But Giygas was still unscathed and had Casie some type of weird power.

“Casie! Someone help her please! Nolan, Ryan, someone please help her!” Poo shouted in complete terror as he saw Casie in pain. The girl he had started to fall in love with in tremendous pain and agony. The barrier that Dave had put up was not down yet and Dave, Ness, Jeff, Tom, or Poo could even help Casie. Mike was still unable to stand on his own let alone run or cast anything to help Casie. Once Giygas had Casie in that power, Nolan and Ryan tried to help but were quickly stopped by the other three horsemen of Apocalypse showing that they were playing possum waiting for Giygas to make his move on Casie. Paula was still in her prayer and seemed to be deaf and blind to what was happening.

“This is called Psi Omnistrife Omega horseman! It is my ultimate attack and will suck the life out of your body leaving you for the vultures or this planet just feeding on your lifeless body! Prepare to meet your end!” Giygas shouted as Casie was screaming in horrifying pain as she couldn’t do anything to save herself.

“Dave! Isn’t there anything we can do?!” a frantic Jeff yelled as he was trying to break the barrier.

“No, I’m sorry there nothing we can do. I think we are all out of miracles as well. Casie might very well die unless someone does something in the next thirty second” Dave said with tears rolling down his eyes knowing that the barrier he put up couldn’t be taken down without a lengthy chant or wearing out, both at least a few minutes away from happening. It was certainly less time than Casie had right now.

“LLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEETTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT MMMMMMMMMEEEEEEEEEEEEE GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” Casie yelled in absolute pain. Her body was starting to seizure violently and her mouth was starting to foam as well. Her blood vessels on her arms and head were looking like they were about to explode. It was an absolutely terrifying sight.

“Let me through!” Ryan screamed trying to help Casie but everytime he tried he was easily beaten back by Gorin. It took both Godan and Giegue to contain Nolan and his power but they were holding him back for the moment. “If you won’t let me through then I’m going to make you let me through!” Ryan screamed, for once throwing away his calm disposition as he took to the skies looking like he was about to set up for a desperation power, probably a Fate but he knew it would have to be fast or Casie would be dead in about twenty seconds.

“Powers of soul, fire, ice, and lightning all combine into one force, Light Saber!” Nolan screamed as he formed his light saber with incredible speed trying to plow the road. Instead of its usual normal length he extended it to make sure he could plow the road, even if it took all of his energy in the process. Everything Nolan tried couldn’t stop both Godan and Giegue at once as he found even with his powers he could not get through, even with the light saber—his most powerful energy sword.

“I will not allow this to happen! Let me out of here. Casie, I won’t let you die! No, No, No!, NO!NO!NO!NO!NO!NO!NO!NO!NO!NO!NO!, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” Poo cried as he was trying to punch through the barrier seeing Casie on her death bed.

“It’s over, the Horseman of Wisdom has fallen and nothing can be done. Enjoy your stay in Hell, Casie!” Giygas laughed as he threw Casie’s now dead body off to the side. Everyone just stopped on both sides in disbelief at what had just happened.

“Casie!” Poo screamed as he made one last attempt to break through the barrier. He was so filled with passion and rage that he easily broke through destroying the barrier. He quickly went to Casie’s side holding her dead body, as it still bled and her mouth still foam. The tears that went down his eyes were ones of love. His aura had also taken a huge spike in power which was why he broke through Dave’s barrier. “You monster! You pay with your life for what you just did to her!” Poo screamed in absolute fury. His power was going off the charts. “I will avenge your death Casie. Nothing will stop me from doing that” Poo thought to himself as he put Casie’s body down onto the ground and Poo now being covered in blood from Casie’s blood vessels breaking once Giygas had finished her.

“That was only the opening act of what is to come!” Giygas laughed while licking the blood off of his hands loving the taste of human blood. “You will all fall to our awesome power and you will lose as your Horseman of Wisdom just did!” Giygas then let out a loud roar which shook the ground horrifically.

“Not if we have anything to say about it” said Poo with a determine look on his face. Ness had never seen that look on Poo’s face since he first met Poo in Summers. The opening chapter of act one had been written with the conclusion being Casie’s death. Poo and everyone else wanted to now end the act with the fall of the Horsemen of Apocalypse if necessary.
