Arsha and Dr. Borg continued their duel as their teams fought against one another. \u201cYou\u2019ve gone against me for the last time!\u201d snarled Dr. Borg as she and Arsha grappled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYeah, and this time will end in your permanent death!\u201d replied Arsha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNOT WHILE I\u2019M A GOD!\u201d Dr. Borg slammed her metal fist into Arsha\u2019s stomach, winding her. She then flung Arsha across the roof. \u201cThe Divine Ones masqueraded as Dragons, but they are merely toothless worms.\u201d Her foot came down on Arsha, pinning her to the roof. \u201cI know you can feel it, Arsha. It is the end of the Realms as you knew them and the beginning of a new Eternal Age of Unity. So much for your vaunted Champion\u2019s Aura.\u201d Just then, a sharp whistle blew, startling everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIT\u2019S TIME!\u201d called Malnar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Down at the base of the Tower, the machine sparked and glowed, feeding the Talkwen Stone immense power. It then exploded; destroying the jewel but creating an energy wave that raced up the Tower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When the wave hit the roof, everyone was swept with it and convulsed in pain. The treatment lasted for thirty seconds before fading away. After the wave passed, everyone fell to the floor beneath them. They all panted and stood up again. Dr. Borg laughed. \u201cWhat was that?! Some sort of bomb?! What\u2019s a bomb to a goddess?!\u201d Arsha looked into Dr. Borg\u2019s eyes and grinned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cGiven the type of bomb that went off, a very effective one!\u201d she said. Dr. Borg arched an eyebrow, then she heard Tormo scream. She whirled around to see him pointing to Femfaf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cY-YOUR EYES!\u201d he cried! \u201cTHEY\u2019RE-!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYOURS TOO!\u201d wailed Femfaf. Their eyes were back to normal! In fact, every single member of the Council had normal eyes!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDOC! YOUR-!\u201d called Yulduk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYOU!\u201d roared Dr. Borg as she grabbed Arsha. \u201cTHAT BOMB HAD THE TALKWEN STONE!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBingo!\u201d confirmed Arsha. \u201cWhen we learned that it had to be in close proximity to you, Lardeth, Malnar, and my Engineering staff came up with the idea to expand its range! Through its detonation, it got the Stone to create a draining energy wave that targets any person with Divine Mana in their veins! Granted, that meant the loss of the Champion\u2019s Aura, but that\u2019s a necessary sacrifice! All Divine Mana has been woven into the fabric of the Realms! Not even the Divine Ones can regain it!\u201d Dr. Borg roared again and threw Arsha across the roof. She stopped near the edge as Dr. Borg flew to her in a rage. The Cyborg Sprite picked Arsha up again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI WAS GOING TO LEAD THE REALMS INTO A NEW ERA AND YOU TOOK THAT AWAY FROM ME!\u201d she shrieked. \u201cTHERE WAS GOING TO BE A NEW WORLD ORDER AND YOU TOOK THAT AWAY FROM ME! YOU WILL SUFFER FOR THIS, ARSHA ROYANA! YOUR PAIN WON\u2019T END!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cENSAKUNDE!\u201d called Falnii. She fired the spell right at Yulduk. Yulduk gasped in pain, then stumbled backwards towards the roof\u2019s edge\u2026and fell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve got fires on decks four, five, and six!\u201d called Malak on the Endeavor<\/em>\u2019s bridge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDamage control teams are underway, but they\u2019re too far spread out!\u201d grunted Endea as she muscled through the pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe need something!\u201d said Denstra. \u201cWe can\u2019t just-!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cCommander!\u201d called Malak. \u201cWe just got an intelligence report! Someone on the Tower\u2019s roof just fired Ensakunde! A body fell and\u2026it\u2019s Yulduk\u2019s body! He\u2019s dead!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThat crazy bomb worked!\u201d cheered Thangred.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe instant the enemy runs from us after getting the report, lay in a pursuit course and keep firing!\u201d cheered Denstra. \u201cThis is it! Let\u2019s get this war over and done with!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Back on the Tower\u2019s roof, Falnii managed to electrocute Tormo with enough strength to make his heart burst. Gorfanth swung his axe right down the middle of Femfaf and destroyed her scroll, killing her. He then charged at Jansha and impaled her on his horns before ripping her off them, causing her to shut down permanently. Lardeth cast a spell that sucked all the moisture out of the air surrounding Tensam, causing him to suffocate and die. He then swung his sword and bisected Shefarn. Malnar then fired her biggest fireball ever at Remsu, roasting her and causing her fluids to boil and her organs to shrink. Dr. Borg saw the carnage and rushed over to her spouses. \u201cPlease! No! Not like this!\u201d she begged. It was too late, her fellow Councilors, her FAMILY\u2026was dead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201c\u2026I\u2019m sorry,\u201d said Arsha as she drew her sword. Dr. Borg slowly turned her head as tears ran down her eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201c\u2026Damn you, Arsha ROYANAAAAA!\u201d Her grief exploded as she flew at Arsha in a rage. She was so blinded that she didn\u2019t see Arsha\u2019s sword. It went straight through her neck and severed the head. The body collapsed on the roof, but the head fell to the ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDR. BORG\u2019S HEAD JUST FELL OFF THE ROOF!\u201d cheered Malak as he got the intelligence reports. \u201cTHE COUNCIL IS DEAD, THE CAPTAIN AND HER LOVERS ARE STILL ALIVE, AND THE ENEMY\u2019S GOT THE NEWS! THEY\u2019RE SCATTERING!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cNazay, pursuit course!\u201d ordered Denstra. \u201cMalak, keep up the pressure for as long as our batteries hold out!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAye-aye, Commander!\u201d replied the two men.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Arsha panted as she surveyed the result of the battle. She then collapsed as her lovers did, then she crawled over to them. They stayed there, catching their breath. \u201c\u2026I can see the Regatim Camel Race,\u201d mumbled Arsha. \u201cDrenii was leading the charge with the Sphinxes and other camels behind her.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI see the ghost of Lardeth\u2019s father,\u201d panted Falnii. \u201cHe looked so happy at seeing Lardeth again.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI\u2019m seeing the 4 F\u2019s performing at the Under-union Festival two years ago,\u201d sighed Lardeth. \u201cThat was a Union Festival I could never forget.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cRemember the Mechanica trial?\u201d asked Gorfanth. \u201cIt\u2019s good to see people like Endea seize the opportunity to be free.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI still remember seeing the reports of Bashoon becoming the first Goblin to join Realmfleet,\u201d chuckled Malnar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAnd Arsha got an Under-realm Captain\u2019s ceremony,\u201d recalled Foresna. \u201cI think you\u2019re the first non-Under-realm Royal to get an Under-realm Captain\u2019s ceremony.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIf things went to plan, I would have gotten the usual Mid-realm one,\u201d replied Arsha. \u201cRealmfleet needed the Endeavor<\/em> at Dwelga at that exact moment in time, so I was kind of rushed into the Captain\u2019s Chair.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYou think you would have changed that?\u201d asked Malnar. Arsha smiled softly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cNo chance. Looking back, I think it improved me somehow. Still don\u2019t know how, yet, but it improved me.\u201d Everyone then heard footsteps. The door to the roof then opened and Elgrad led everyone onto the roof.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThere they are!\u201d he called. He and Hanako got Arsha up as everyone else helped her lovers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHey, guys!\u201d panted Arsha. \u201cI\u2019d invite you all, but the place is a mess.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cNo more words, Marshii needs to look you over!\u201d said Elgrad. Just then, everyone who signed the Blood Contract felt a pain on the back of their writing hands. Arsha managed to look at hers to see the signature scarred on it fading away! Malnar grinned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cContract complete!\u201d she cheered. \u201cThe Realm Trinity Empire is broken!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThen we\u2019ve won!\u201d sighed Arsha. \u201cThe Final War\u2026is over!\u201d She then pulled out her communicator. \u201cArsha to Endeavor<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cGo ahead, Captain,\u201d replied Denstra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cCan you get a lock on everyone?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYep. We\u2019re ready to teleport you all to Sick Bay on your orders.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cGet us there.\u201d Everyone vanished from the roof. The battlefield was still smoking with weapons fire, but the Realm Trinity Empire lay there, broken and dead. In the 4,006,300,082nd<\/sup> year of the Three Realms’ Third Age of Unity, the Final War was officially declared over, becoming the first year of the Eternal Age of Unity, bringing peace and freedom to all!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Arsha and Dr. Borg continued their duel as their teams fought against one another. \u201cYou\u2019ve gone against me for the last time!\u201d snarled Dr. Borg as she and Arsha grappled. \u201cYeah, and this time will end in your permanent death!\u201d replied Arsha. \u201cNOT WHILE I\u2019M A GOD!\u201d Dr. Borg slammed her metal fist into Arsha\u2019s […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":4448,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_bbp_topic_count":0,"_bbp_reply_count":0,"_bbp_total_topic_count":0,"_bbp_total_reply_count":0,"_bbp_voice_count":0,"_bbp_anonymous_reply_count":0,"_bbp_topic_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_reply_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_forum_subforum_count":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[97,238],"tags":[482],"class_list":["post-5318","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-three-realms","category-the-three-realms-book-5-the-final-fight","tag-fantasy"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/samueljvinton.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5318","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/samueljvinton.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/samueljvinton.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/samueljvinton.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/samueljvinton.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5318"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/samueljvinton.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5318\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5319,"href":"https:\/\/samueljvinton.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5318\/revisions\/5319"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/samueljvinton.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4448"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/samueljvinton.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5318"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/samueljvinton.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5318"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/samueljvinton.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5318"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
