"I hope to the gods that you all aren't done yet!" Chase laughed, looking at all of his friends with his newfound form.
Leo grinned, looking at Neveah as Rakshaa had already began to move... Something different this time... It was primal...
"I got you..." She said... Smiling back at him as a crimson barrier began to surround him.
He met the troll head on... Deflecting the troll's glaive with a powerful punch.
Chase moved next... Launching with so much axis you would have thought he was holding back all this time.
"WOOOHOOOOO!!!!!" He screamed with joy, the entire battlefield flashing past like turning the pages in a picture book.
He met Hextra head on.
Remembering what Reinhart had said however long ago...
'A bigger blade would suit you...'
'Had he known?' Chase asked internally, glancing down at the giant crimson axe he had stolen.
He had also remembered Barren in that moment... The Professor that had told him the only way to get stronger is steal power from others...
He grinned.
Then he attacked, swinging the axe with such force that the entire room shook with reverence.
He twisted his body, now able to see Hextra's once invisible energy.
His grin grew.
"I CAN SEE IT NOW!"
He dodged out of the way, using the axe's weight as a way to propel him through his air.
Then he landed, sliding across the floor and bending his body back-avoiding the serpent that flew over his head.
Then he shoved his right foot into the ground, shattering the stone below... And launching himself into the direction of Hextra.
"RAKSHAA!" She screamed again, but it was too late.
Chase swung the axe horizontally.
It missed.
But that was what he wanted.
He turned his body, switching the form of his hands, and launching the axe vertically into the ground where Hextra stood.
She backed away... Blood trickling from the corner of her forehead.
Fear was instilled in her vision now...
Realizing that she was now at danger...
Chase grinned... Launching himself forward again... But this time, dragging his axe through the ground as he twitched towards her... Launching the debris from the ground into her vision... Some of the rocks and debris went into her eyes...
And his axe followed.
Crashing into Hextra's chest and launching her upward.
Chase grinned, pressing his feet into the ground and launching upward.
His axe swung like a spiral...
He had turned into a tornado of his own making...
One.
Two.
Three.
Three times he struck Hextra... The third the most devastating as it launched her directly into the ground below.
Then he followed... Refusing to let off the gas.
He landed with a deafening blow, his axe pierced into the ground where she had once laid.
She was now standing ten meters away, barely keeping her own balance.
"See what I mean? I know all your tricks..." He chuckled. Launching himself into her direction again... Becoming a true torrent of destruction.
He swung vertically, forcing all of his momentum into the attack... So that he could use it with a follow up, spinning twice with the second being infused with his flames.
She barely dodged, getting out of the way and summoning another serpent to attack Chase directly.
He laughed, launching himself forward with flames the only trace where he had once hovered in the air.
He appeared from the flesh of the serpent...
On the other side...
His eyes only a foot away from Hextra's...
He wore a sinister smile...
While she wore a look of horror.
He Kicked... Launching her further back and flipping backwards onto his feet.
He gripped his axe.
He launched again, this time much more vicious than the last.
His body moved on its own, as if he had always wielded a weapon of this caliber...
He danced through the air, arcs of his axe leaving after images... Shrouded in flames he became a being of absolute destruction.
Yet it wasn't enough.
Which is why he was letting it all loose.
She could turn the battle against him at any moment.
So when she snickered.
He wasn't shocked.
In fact...
He glanced at the energy radiating around Equan.
She was right where he wanted her...
He grinned. His eyes glancing at the small battering powering the large speaker... The same speaker she had used to mind control nearly everyone here... Was right behind her.
She had thought that she had him played.
So when the smoke cleared...
And a figure emerged from it...
He grinned.
Not Chase...
But Equan...
Who was pulling the string of his bow back with his teeth... His arms mangled at his sides...
His right foot pressing his bow further forward as energy radiating upon the strings...
Then...
A crimson bolt of lightning began to grow static on the blade... Charging up with so much energy it could light up a continent...
Chase launched his attack... A wide horizontal attack forcing Hextra to back away...
"Boom." With the words leaving Equan's mouth...
His teeth let the string go...
The crimson bolt flashed like a rocket... Crashing into the generator behind Hextra...
A look of fear...
Then everything exploded.
