Chapter 64 - Tournament of Fate Finale: The Hell Titan

Multhi: He stabbed his staff into the ground, ripping off his blue cloak, revealing his under armor. His short, light blue cape blew upward as he ripped his outer cloak off.

His expression remained determined, which seemed to piss Valkun off even more. He ripped his staff up from the ground, and a huge ice pillar pierced through his chest. Wind surrounded the pillar, keeping the heat from melting it.

Valkun: He coughed up blood, gripping the pillar. He melted himself free, falling hard against the ground. He looked over at Noctum, shaking his head in disappointment, raising his fingers to snap him away. "RAAAGGHHHH!!! I WILL NOT LOSE TO A FUCKING CHILD!!!" He pulled out the red glowing ring from before.

Star: His body stiffened. "What is he doing?"

Sophi: Her body tensed up as Star's did, turning to the side to meet his eyes. "S-Star...is that...is he about to..." she whimpered. She stared down at Multhi, her eyes widening. She knew Multhi could see the same thing they could, but she still sent her thoughts down to him. "Multhi. Get the FUCK out of there."

Multhi: He raised an eyebrow, then darted his gaze back to Valkun. "Wait, stop!"

Valkun: He crushed the ring in his palm. The shards that fell to the ground turned into pools of blood, and a pentagram formed across the entire arena.

Noctum: "Arrogant to the very end." He vanished from where he sat. The undead crowd began to shout and freak out, wondering why their king had left.

Valkun: He laughed as the ground began to shake violently, bits of the arena crumbling and breaking. A spiraling tornado of blood and bones burst forth from the ground. The energy that forced the others to stay in their spot was broken.

Star: He tensed, his fists clenching at his sides, his gaze shooting to Alex. "Alex!"

Alex: "On it." He bolted down to where Multhi was, taking him back up to everybody else.

Sophi: She ran up to Multhi as they got back, putting her hands on his arms and looking up at him. "I-I wanna ask if you're okay, but I'm not sure we have time for that conversation..." She looked back at the arena, watching as everything started going crazy.

Multhi: "We definitely don't..." He looked up at the tornado, noticing two large yellow eyes forming and then three smaller ones. "What are we looking at here..."

Radna: He summoned his hooks. "Xalmorgoth, The Hell Titan."

Xalmorgoth: Six large skeletal hands burst out of the tornado, latching onto the edges of the arena rim, squashing some of the undead. Its body began to form, first out of bones, then blood began to boil and form over the bones, slowly hardening into rippling, ridged, glowing red scales. "WHO. DARES. TO. AWAKEN. ME!!!"

Valkun: He laughed, holding his arms out. "It is I, Valkun, who summoned you!"

Xalmorgoth: The yellow eyes darted over to him through the tornado of flesh. It took one look at him before its large demonic snout shot out, snapping down on Valkun. It spat out Valkun's sliced body, punching it repeatedly. "NO FALSE AVATAR OF DEATH WILL COMMAND ME!!!" The tornado vanished as it finished building its body. A six-armed, 170ft beast stood before them, its spider-like legs stabbing into the ground as it roared. Its head had six curled horns layered on top of each other. Its head was like a dragon's, but its lower jaw could snap open.

Star: He clenched his fists, eyes narrowing. "How long do we have until it reaches its full size?"

Radna: He looked over at Star, "Probably 15 minutes..."

Star: He turned towards everybody, aura flickering with determination. "If we are going to beat this thing, we need to work together as a team!"

Sophi: She shivered as she saw the titan's arachnid-esque legs, shooting a scared glance at all of her friends. "We're-...we're going to fight this thing? How?!" she whimpered, floating up off the ground and keeping her eyes locked on the being. "And how the hell am I supposed to help??"

Radna: He looked down at her. "Hey, can you still do that pink forcefield thing? I might have an idea." He held up his hook, his smile widening.

Alex: "Oh lord..."

Sophi: She smiled back at him shyly, waving her hand and forming a pink barrier. "Like this...?" she murmured nervously, staring at Radna and wondering what his plan may be.

Radna: He stabbed his hook into the top of it. "Put spikes on it."

Sophi: "...S-spike the barrier? Mm... okay..." she mumbled nervously. Spikes jetting out of the energy, making it look like a piece of a huge flail.

Radna: "Great! Now just hold onto something." He yanked the chain, sending her and the spherical barrier flying straight into the side of the beast's face, scratching it.

Xalmorgoth: It stumbled, its cheek regenerating quickly, catching the ball before it could hit him again. It brought it close up to its face, looking inside. "..."

Sophi: "Mmh...H-Hai..!!?" she whimpered as the titan looked at her. "I'm sorry...!!!"

Xalmorgoth: "Worm..." It tried to bite down on her, but Radna pulled her back towards the others.

Alex: He clapped his hands together. Two massive hands formed, grabbing the beast by its neck and slamming it into the walls of the arena. As he tried to grip its throat, it grew slightly bigger, shattering Alex's hands. "Ngh!..." He stumbled back.

Radna: "We can't do anything against it as long as we are in this fucking realm. It's dampening all of our powers!" He pulled her out of her barrier.

Star: "Not all of them..."

Sophi: She whined as Radna pulled her free, trembling after being so close to the titan and seeing Alex get hurt. She took a deep breath, pulling herself together, and flew over to make sure her lover was okay. "A-Alex, baby!!!" she scooped him into her arms, flying back up and rubbing the top of his skull. "How can I help??"

Alex: "Ngh, I'm okay...I'm just not used to this." He patted her on the head, giving her a weak smile. He then turned his attention to Star. "What do you mean?"

Star: "Solarius. Hold these." He took off his gauntlets, handing them to Solarius.

Solarius: "AGH!" He fell to the ground immediately, trying to hold them.

Radna: "Star, what if that doesn't work?"

Star: "We have to try something." He climbed up on the edge of the balcony. As he closed his fists, they began flowing with positive energy, glowing bright gold. He bent his knees, launching himself towards the Titan, punching it in the chest.

Xalmorgoth: A large ring-shaped golden shockwave burst out as the being was shot back, shattering the glass wall of reality. It fell back into the white void. That opening forced all of their powers fully back into their systems. "Ngh...HOW DARE YOU!!"

Sophi: She watched in shock as Star successfully attacked the titan, her jaw dropping as she stared at him. "Wooaaah..." she whispered, rubbing Alex's back and standing up with him. She felt the surge of energy as their powers returned, her eyes sparkling brightly.

Star: He tried to step forward, but he couldn't move his feet. He looked down and saw golden ice covering everybody's feet, other than Multhi's. "What the? Multhi?"

Multhi: "I have to do this. This is something I need to finish." He stood on the ledge, holding his staff, looking over his shoulder at the rest of them. "A king protects his people."

Radna: He tried to break free. "Why is this so strong! We aren't even ice people!"

Multhi: "Everyone is my people. Element or not." He looked back towards the Titan, slowly getting up. "I will make my parents proud."

Sophi: She whimpered, squatting down and placing her hands on the ice, sending as much energy as she could through it. It was burning her palms, but she could feel it melting, though ridiculously slowly. "M-Multhi!! Please, we could help!!!" she sighed, wiggling her feet and trying to get free. "Ngh...please be safe..." she whined, staring up at his eyes.

Multhi: He smiled at her, turning back quickly to hug her. "Thank you for being there for my mother..."

Sophi: Her eyes began watering a little, standing up to hug him back tightly. "Of course...a-and now, I'm here for you, too..." she sniffled, rubbing his back and waiting for him to be the one to pull away.

Multhi: He pulled away, leaping into the shattering void, the space closing behind him slowly.
