"It"s no use, we"ve taken over their mind," the green cloaked man sneered."Azusa, we"re truly sorry. No we won"t apologize. We always did and it became a non ending loop. But thank you, thank you despite what had happened you didn"t lose. Despite losing everything, despite all the abuses you didn"t lose it," Feena started looking at the emotionless Azusa.
"Aw how cute. Well too bad she can"t hear you. Now go and play with your friends," the red cloaked man commanded.
Azusa unsheathed her sword and move at he fastest speed to attack Feena and Karen. They couldn"t see her movements, Karen could only s.h.i.+eld the both of them with a soil wall.
"Please Azusa come back to us, we don"t wanna lose you again," Karen continued just as the wall was broken with Azusa"s non stop attack.
"We won"t fight you," Feena said before they were bombarded with Azusa"s sword.
"FEENA, KAREN," Hideyos.h.i.+ and Mamoru shouted, ready to rescue them.
"Don"t come!!" Feena shouted back.
"Don"t touch her, we"ll find a way to stop her, focus on those two and Eureka," Karen followed as she parried another attack from Azusa.
"Hmmm why don"t we try this one. Get up now and fight," the red cloaked man said.
Eureka who had been lying there all this time, slowly opened her eyes and stood up.
"Be on guard, you know her strength," Raven seriously warned the other two.
"We know, that"s why this would be even more difficult," Hideyos.h.i.+ replied putting up his guard even more.
"Do you have any idea how to remove the mind control?" Mamoru asked Raven in a whisper.
"We can only kill the caster before we can save them," Raven answered.
*CLANG*
Raven was able to parry Eureka"s first attack.
"Try knocking her out for now," Hideyos.h.i.+ suggested as he went behind her. He was sent flying when Eureka spanned around and kicked him in the stomach.
"If it"s that easy then we would have done so already," Mamoru replied when all of a sudden Eureka was in front of him. He was able to s.h.i.+eld himself from her sword by making a soil s.h.i.+eld.
"*laughs* this is so hilarious, where"s your special attacks awhile ago?" the green cloaked man insults.
Raven glared at him, "take her on."
Hideyos.h.i.+ and Mamoru complied, Raven then faced the other two.
"You"re taking us on your own? You overestimate yourself so much, focus on them, I"ll take this brat," the green cloaked man said.
"You think your pathetic Fire can do something to me?" he sneered as he used his gravity on Raven.
"Phoenix," Raven conjured.
"Such stupid move," with water fall, the bird was unable to get close.
Just as it did, inferno surrounded the area, followed by meteor shower, then followed by fire bursts, fire b.a.l.l.s, followed by his sword which was incorporated with fire.
"Stop with this stupid attacks of yours," as if losing patience the green cloaked man flooded the area.
"MAMORU!!"
Mamoru was sent flying on Feena and Karen"s side cras.h.i.+ng to the wall, coughing up a mouthful of blood.
"KAREN!!" being distracted by Mamoru, Karen was caught off guard and by the time she realized it Azusa was already in front of her, her sword pa.s.sed through her body.

Shock was plastered in her face,
"Wh"
It was not only Karen who was shocked but even the red cloaked man was.
"What happened?" the green cloaked man asked as he kicked Raven away.
"Are you okay?" Mamoru asked the one his supporting.
"I should be asking you that," she replied.
"Karen are you okay?" Feena asked.
"I"m completely fine," Karen replied, the sword went past her body. But it went past the s.p.a.ce between her arm and body, The sword only grazed her.
"How dare you," the red cloaked man glared at Mamoru.
"What"s going on?!?" the green cloaked man roared.
Spitting out some blood, "You really are under estimating us," Raven said as he walked towards the group.
That"s when they realized, Eureka and Hideyos.h.i.+ is currently on a standstill. Eureka"s sword is on Hideyos.h.i.+"s neck.
"My connection to both of them were cut," the red cloaked man said in confusion.
"Mind control, the connection will be over whether the controlling succeeded or failed. You are too confident to your ability that you ended up forgetting to check whether you succeeded, you connected your threads and controlled our bodies," putting her sword down, Eureka faced them.
"YOU b.a.s.t.a.r.d!!" the red cloaked man roared.
"GUYS ATTACK THEM WITH ALL YOU GOT, DON"T HOLD BACK AND JUST THROW EVERYTHING YOU CAN THROW," Eureka commanded, without any delay, everyone threw everything they got.
"We"ll gonna get you," the green cloaked man"s voice was heard but the whole place was already filled with explosions.
"What"s going on?" both the green cloaked man and red cloaked man couldn"t use any of their abilities.
"Thanks by the way, you"ve given me a lot of information," they heard a voice behind them, but just as they turned blood spurted out of both their throats.
"Uhmm Eureka? By randomly throwing will we really get them?" Hideyos.h.i.+ asked after awhile as they wait for the place to clear up.
"It"s fine, the more chaotic it is, the more she can sneak behind them," Raven who understood the reason behind her words answered instead.
And just like he said, when everything cleared up. They saw the lifeless bodies in front of Eureka, who once again looked like she just came out of a blood bath.
*BLAG*
"Eureka!!" the six of them run towards her.
"Eureka are you okay?"
"Are you wounded somewhere?"
"Please don"t die," the three girls started panicking seeing Eureka"s eyes were closed.
"We have to hurry, we-" "Stop"
Everyone fell silent.
"My head feels like it"s going to burst, stop being too noisy or I"ll make your mouths permanently open," Eureka continued with her eyes closed.
Everyone looked at each other and could only drop down as well.
"I"m dead tired," Hideyos.h.i.+ was the first one to speak.
"Can we wait before going back?" Mamoru followed.
"I can"t move as well," Karen exhaustedly tried to raise her hand.
"Is it really finally over?" Feena asked as the break of dawn greeted them.
"So everything took us a whole day? The sun rise is greeting us," Hideyos.h.i.+ once again commented.
The building being in tatters they can obviously see the scenery around them.
"Aren"t you sad?" Mamoru then asked Azusa beside him.
"Sad about what?"
"This place, once this was your home, before you know, your father pa.s.sed away," he continued.
"If this happened before then I might be, but right now it feels like, the moments telling me, "here"s for your new beginning, don"t let the past hold you back, but face the future and the presentinstead.""
"Azusa," as if in a dream she felt like she heard her father"s voice calling out to her.
She abruptly sat down and looked around, what greeted her instead was the sun rising.
Tears dropping from her eyes, she tried stopping her voice but, "waaaaahhhhh haaaaaa haaaaa,"
The others abruptly sat up hearing her suddenly crying so loud.
Pulling her to a hug, "It"s fine,everything"s fine," Mamoru tried to console her.
Even Feena and Karen are tearing up.
This place, was full of memories for her. This place where she grew up, where her father taught her how to run, where she and her mother would always watch her father train. This place after 10 long years, finally bid her goodbye. She would always return here for the past ten years especially when she was being bullied. She finds comfort in this place, but now it"s time to let everything go. She had them now, she has her friends now. Pouring everything out was indeed comforting.
Moments later.
"Guys, she fell asleep," Mamoru said feeling her body getting heavier.
"Let"s go, take care of her," Raven said standing up.
Looking at the side, he went over and bent down.
"I"m fine," Eureka feeling him, opened her eyes and said.
"Burning your own wound, fighting against many, fighting against the mind control, then doing your best to act and fight against us seriously, I don"t think your body would still be able to keep up," Raven said as he still bent down and carried her.
"Then allow me to rest for a bit," she said finally succ.u.mbing to sleep.
They all walk towards where they left their horses, it"s a good thing that they left it a bit far from the place.
"She"s completely out," Hideyos.h.i.+ said to Raven as he helped him ride his horse with Eureka.
"After two months of rest, she went ahead and pushed her body to it"s limit, that"s why," Feena replied just as she and Karen help Mamoru ride his horse with Azusa.
They then went and rode their own horses.
"It"s time to go home," once everyone is settled, Raven faced them.
"Our first real battle, showed us how weak we truly are, if all our enemies are the same as them, then the destruction of the kingdom is set in stone. It"s time to up our own games. We rest and start training not just ourselves but all those under us. We must push ourselves to the limit. This time we succeeded because Eureka helped us, but if she was not around and we are to rescue Azusa on our own, I guess you already have an idea of the outcome."
The others nodded in unison after listening to him.
"Let"s all become stronger."
"Yes," they all answered with conviction.
After that they left the place just as the house was completely burned. They burned it as per Eureka"s instruction, it"s better to leave nothing behind. Than for their enemies to find something else to use against them.
