The remaining heroes continued through the fortress, trying to get to the center. \u201cHow much further?\u201d asked Royal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cCan\u2019t tell,\u201d sighed Kaitlyn in her Rider persona of Spark. \u201cDammit, and it\u2019s almost time!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe can\u2019t speed up, we can\u2019t slow down,\u201d grumbled Yufantel, \u201cwhat do we do?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie!\u201d came a voice. A wall separated the Realmers from the Riders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHEY! OPEN UP THERE!\u201d called Arsha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDon\u2019t bother, diluter of the bloodline!\u201d snarled the voice. Everyone whirled around to see Intrag with Combatmen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDiluter?!\u201d snapped Malnar. \u201cThe Emboramii bloodline\u2019s still thick, thank you very much!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou mated with Out-realmers! You betray the Emboramii bloodline!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBy the now mortal Ones, will you shut up about that?!\u201d With that, everyone attacked. Intrag then swung his sword and threw everyone back. He stomped over to Arsha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIn my day, people like you knew their place under my heel. They didn\u2019t rule anything, they knew their position was as a servant race.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cScrew\u2026you!\u201d hissed Arsha. Intrag grabbed Arsha by the throat and started squeezing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEveryone had best learn their place real quick,\u201d he warned, \u201cor this thing you care about dies!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYOU GET OFF MOM NOW!\u201d shouted Geltar. She, Farmee, and Yufantel leapt onto Intrag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cGET OFF ME, YOU HYBRID WORMS!\u201d he shouted. He threw them off, then jabbed his sword into the ground. The floor then wrapped itself around the three Royana kids. \u201c\u2026The traitor said the Divine Ones were now mortal,\u201d he chuckled. \u201cThat means their pathetic rules shackle me no more!\u201d He slammed a fist into Geltar\u2019s ribs, breaking them. He then grabbed Farmee by the hair. \u201cThey masquerade as the fiercest dragons of the Realms, but are mere toothless worms!\u201d He slammed Farmee\u2019s head to the floor. He then grabbed Yufantel\u2019s arm. \u201cIt is the end of all things. An apocalypse on such an unimaginable scale!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cStop!\u201d groaned Yufantel. Intrag then kicked Yufantel\u2019s arm in a way that broke it. She howled in pain. Arsha and her spouses picked themselves up and were stumbling towards Intrag. He simply summoned energy spheres and threw them at the Royals, shocking them and knocking them back down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYour time has passed,\u201d he said. \u201cThis age was spent in foolish resistance. Now is the dawn of a new era.\u201d He then heard the kids say something in the usual magic language. \u201c\u2026Yes, children, pray to the worms. Pray\u2026as your world ends!\u201d He swung his sword down\u2026then he was knocked back by an energy dome that suddenly surrounded the kids. The three of them were then healed, revitalized, and surrounded by an aura that flashed with all the colors of the Divine Ones. Arsha and Dr. Borg goggled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026You passed on the Champion\u2019s Aura to your children?\u201d asked Dr. Borg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI thought it was lost forever after we won the Final War,\u201d replied Arsha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cChampion\u2019s Aura?! IMPOSSIBLE!\u201d argued Intrag. He swung his sword at Yufantel, then she grabbed the sword with her formerly broken arm. Geltar stood up as if her ribs didn\u2019t get broken and Farmee assumed a fighting stance with no wobbling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026That sword,\u201d observed Farmee, \u201cthe shards that came from its forging were used to make the Talkwen Stone, yes?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTrue, but why talk about that rock?!\u201d snapped Intrag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThat\u2019s all I wanna know!\u201d cheered Farmee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBrother, sister, shall we?\u201d asked Yufantel. The three of them grabbed the sword, then channeled energy through it into Intrag. The energy threw him back into a wall hard. He slid down\u2026and felt something at the edge of his mouth. He touched the affected area, pulled his hand back\u2026and saw that it was blood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026Impossible!\u201d he breathed, a nasty thought forming in his mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe Talkwen Stone stole the Divine and Titan mana from our bodies,\u201d recalled Dr. Borg. \u201cIt rendered us mortal, giving Arsha enough time to land the killing blow. If a Champion\u2019s Aura could alter the initial materials it came from to render any form of immortality granted by means outside our universe\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBingo!\u201d confirmed Geltar. \u201cIt can do the job of rendering a guy mortal and vulnerable to physical attacks!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNow\u2019s our chance!\u201d called Malnar. Intrag still had his beastly strength, so he tore down a wall and threw it at the heroes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHE\u2019S GETTING AWAY!\u201d called Endea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNo, he\u2019s NOT!\u201d snarled Glanthel. \u201cI\u2019ve got a scanner lock on him! Follow me! Let\u2019s finish this!\u201d Everyone charged after Intrag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While the fight was going on, Royal and her friends were pounding on the wall. \u201cARSHA! ARSHA, CAN YOU HEAR-?!\u201d A Dalek gunstick then fired at Royal, making her scream and collapse to the floor. Thanks to her immortality, she wasn\u2019t dead. Emily in her Rider persona of Touch\u00e9 checked Megumi over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYour organs are unscrambling themselves,\u201d she said, \u201cbut it\u2019s gonna be painful.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI\u2019ve noticed!\u201d gasped Royal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI just needed to cause pain,\u201d said Ex\u2019s voice as she and her fellows stepped into the room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou\u2019re losing, Ex!\u201d snapped Death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI think you\u2019ll find I\u2019m still winning, even after all these setbacks!\u201d retorted Ex.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNo more talking! DAI SUPER CHARGE!\u201d shouted Hiro in his Rider persona of Rogue. His armor then changed into its final form and he became Rift while charging at Ex.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHIRO, NO!\u201d called Royal. Rift charged at Ex with his weapon out, but she side-stepped and fired on him. Rift collapsed in pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAs stupid as Igura was,\u201d snarked Ex.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOh, come on, Boss!\u201d complained Katie in her Rider persona of Glam. \u201cLet\u2019s just deal with these nitwits quickly!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe dame\u2019s right,\u201d agreed Captain Don Shinobi in his Rider persona of Threat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYes, she is,\u201d agreed Ex.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYOU WON\u2019T WIN!\u201d shouted Spark as she attacked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cKAITLYN, STOP!\u201d called Royal. But Spark DIDN\u2019T stop. She decked Ex.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBah! Insect!\u201d snapped Ex when she recovered. That\u2026was when ten streams of light appeared from nowhere and surrounded Spark. \u201cWhat the?\u201d asked Ex. The streams of light circled Spark, then floated in front of her and formed a strange device with all the Sources in a circle. It looked like it could fit over her belt!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026Nothing ventured, nothing gained!\u201d said Spark. She then grabbed the device and slotted it over her belt. She then tapped each Source and then a crown with the Sources appeared on her head with her skirt gaining a long train in the colors of the Sources. Gauntlets appeared with the Sources of Life and Death, then her calves were armored with the Sources of War and Peace. Her shoulders gained pauldrons with the Sources of Pestilence and Health and her torso was adorned with the remaining Sources of Famine, Bounty, Order, and Chaos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cPrimal Spark!\u201d announced the device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWh-What the?!\u201d spluttered Spark. \u201cHow did-?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOf course!\u201d breathed Death. \u201cKaitlyn has always understood that all ten of us are necessary! She uses all of them in her daily life! That\u2019s how she stays sane!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt doesn\u2019t matter!\u201d snapped Glam. \u201cI\u2019ll beat her and show her that she made a mistake in resisting me!\u201d Glam charged forward, then Spark slammed her fists into Glam\u2019s torso. The Sources on her gauntlets glowed and projected an energy wave that knocked Glam into a wall. Death then got a notification on her smartwatch and checked it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026I don\u2019t believe it!\u201d she whispered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhat is it?\u201d asked Royal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMegumi, your daughter\u2026has made Katie Barker mortal!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYOU LIE!\u201d barked Ex.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cShe\u2026She doesn\u2019t!\u201d gasped Gi in her Rider persona of Adaptus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026I can make the immortal\u2026mortal?!\u201d realized Spark. She then clenched her fists. \u201cRound 2!\u201d She then went on the offensive, dodging enemy attacks. Benjamin, in his Rider persona of Tombstone, fired his gun, but Spark rolled out of the way. She then tested something with just striking with one fist. Nothing happened. \u201cGotta use both, huh? Makes sense.\u201d She then drove both her fists into Tombstone and rendered him mortal. This went on and on until every single member of the enemy\u2019s army was mortal. \u201cNOW\u2019S OUR CHANCE!\u201d called Spark. She then pressed the crystal in the center of her belt as Rift pushed the wings of his belt down while Royal posed spun the wheel on her belt twice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDAI SUPER CHARGE!\u201d She shouted. She became Vortex and spun the wheel again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cFinal Attack!\u201d it announced. The three Riders leapt into the air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cRIDER PRIMAL SPARK KICK!\u201d called Spark<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cRIDER RIFT KICK!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cRIDER VORTEX KICK!\u201d The energy of the three Rider Kicks caused tremendous feedback when they struck Adaptus, Tombstone, and Erika that it spread out to all enemy Riders. Everyone collapsed, then Death swung her arm scythes. Erika, Captain Don Shinobi, Auriella, Cyber-Priestess Gi, Benjamin, and Phury had expired. Katie and Metaltron, having been merely knocked out of their transformations, groaned and picked themselves up. Katie saw Auriella\u2019s body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAURIELLA!\u201d she wailed. She tried waking her up, but it was no good. Metaltron then grabbed Katie. \u201cNO! WE HAVE TO-!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWE CAN\u2019T!\u201d argued Metaltron. \u201cWE\u2019VE LOST TOO MANY! WE\u2019LL RESSURECT HER AND OUR FALLEN COMRADES WHEN WE START THE NEW MULTIVERSE! LET\u2019S GO!\u201d She pulled Katie away from the battlefield at high speed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cQUICK! AFTER HER!\u201d called Spark. The heroes then rushed after the two villains.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
