Michael slid past the battlefield, ice forming at insane speeds below him.
On the other side of the room, Leo's decrepit figure held back the onslaught of ruthless attacks from the troll.
His body breaking and cracking apart with each attack.
Until...
Everything froze.
Ice began to drown the troll, ensnaring him into pure blue ice.
Chase's figure danced across the battlefield.
His form nothing but bone...
Molten bone.
His skull was all that remained of his head, cracking in several places... But still fighting...
Hextra ripped his arm off...
Breaking him into two...
Then she froze...
Michael slid towards the back of the room, never stopping once. Only trusting his ability to stop the battle.
His ice halted, letting him slide next to the large crater in the wall.
"No..." He muttered, climbing up into the hole in the wall.
Equan's mangled body lie within the rubble...
His eyes stuck open and stained with his own blood... His arms twisted and ruined...
Michael couldn't bare the sight...
And yet he knelt next to the body, pressing his hand against the lifeless chest... Knowing full well that he would feel nothing.
"Damnit all..."
He lifted his hand up towards Equan's face.
Then with the brush of his hand and a solemn nod. He gently shut Equan's eyes, standing up and turning towards the battlefield. Only now... The sight of the true horrors settling in his mind.
What could he possible do?
The ice had already broken...
Gemini leaned with a terrible limp against a distant wall, his body completely ruined, and parts of his brain sticking out of his bloodied head.
His heart was visible, beating slowly as he looked up at the ceiling.
Michael wouldn't let anymore die.
He shot like a canon towards Gemini, landing with a slide and immediately placing a hand on Gemini's shoulder.
Ice began to spread through his body before Gemini could even realize what was happening.
"You're good. Just breathe." He said with a grimace as his eyes forcefully repaired Gemini's body as best as it could.
Michael grabbed Gemini by the shoulders once he was finished, looking into his eyes with a deathly stare.
"Gemini... Status report... What do I need to do to stop this..." He said, not a question, but a demand with an intense determination.
Gemini shook his head, his eyes drifting towards the ceiling.
Michael couldn't bare to see that look.
It was like watching someone slowly lose their mind.
He grit his frozen teeth.
"Gemini... Is it possible for me to kill her?" He asked, glancing at Chase already getting berated by attacks, unable to even defend at this point.
"Let me answer for him..." Someone said from behind, their voice raspy and almost completely faint.
Michael turned slowly, making sure to keep Gemini from falling over with his right hand.
"Luke?" He asked, before his eyes widened at the sight of his teacher.
His throat was slit open... Blood was spilling out of his mouth...
There was a massive chunk of his shoulder entirely missing... Having been bitten by something extremely large...
Yet he was speaking...
His eyes were distant... And his energy had not been entirely drained.
It was as if.
"Shit... Luke come here!" He demanded, not wanting to let go of Gemini.
Luke stumbled forward, and that's when Michael seen it.
From behind... A giant green spear had impaled Luke's catalyst... Barely sticking out of the front of his body, but still deep enough to shatter every single internal organ near his solar plexus...
"Oh my gods..."
Michael dashed forward, freezing Gemini's shoulder to the wall, and grabbing Luke, acting as a brace for him as he began to freeze over everything that he could.
"You gotta keep fighting teach! I get it! I seen what happened! But you gotta keep fighting! Chase is gonna die! We are all going to die!" He yelled, trying his best to rearrange Luke's internal organs with ice, trying to keep his teacher alive no matter what it required to do so.
"GABE!" Michael screamed, frantically doing whatever he could. He refused to lose anyone else.
"NEVEAH! GIDEON! KAYLYNN! PLEASE KAYLYNN I NEED YOU!" He screamed, hoping that Kaylynn could somehow pull herself together.
"I got her..." Neveah growled, dragging Kaylynn by the collar of her shirt as she walked up from behind.
"Heal them." She demanded.
"Thank the gods..." Michael shuttered, as Kaylynn reluctantly started to bleed from over using her catalyst.
However, it was still hope.
Now Michael had an even bigger problem...
He couldn't even look at Chase...
The fact that he was still alive...
Was breath-taking...
...
'Luna I can't...' Chase pleaded mentally, quite litterly breaking into pieces.
Hextra was laughing, breaking his body further and further as his catalyst slipped out from his shattered ribs, crashing against the floor and shattering.
Another force of energy sent what was left of his body flying, crashing into the wall.
He tried to stand, but couldn't.
It was over.
There was no way in hell that he could keep fighting.
Luna knew that.
Hence why she had gone quiet.
Chase felt hopeless.
His own goddess had vanished when he needed her most.
His friends were dying...
He had lost.
It didn't matter if by some stroke of luck he was able to kill this goddess.
She was dead set on the extermination of the thing Chase cared most about.
So he began to gave up.
If he had eyes, they would have darkened... But his soul-sense dimmed, leaving him completely senseless.
He crashed against the floor, more of his bones and organs falling apart.
But he was already motionless...
He had died...
