Raiyen dived into the direction of his daughter and shielded her. "Leave her out of this, she is not the one who you are fighting against," growled Raiyen, tone furious.
"No, but she"d decided that she wants to fight me herself. Memoria Astrum, otherwise known as the Memory Star in Latin. Or, in simpler terms, the Memories of all creations would be better to understand," said Benjamin, smiling.
He then broke free of the trap and extended his arms. The rest of the group looked confused as Nova conjured up the legendary spell.
"Would you take the risk? Could you handle it? I"m not a being that can be so easily defeated, you know. Don"t insult me or my kind, since you"ve been into my head, you should know that a measly spell won"t be able to defeat me!" shouted Benjamin.
Gillian was ready to attack once more when huge pillars of light rained down from the sky, encircling and caging the Corrupted being. Nova"s eyes had was blanketed by a red shade, her hands aimed at the fallen Valkyrie.
"I"d said I wanted to fight you, I didn"t say anything about defeating you. I am the child of the Mighty Valkyries and a whacky Time Mage, so go figure on what I"m about to do," explained Nova, as the light started to converge on the Valkyrie"s mind.
"You didn"t just lock me away in my mind for a few hours, Dad. It was a few years I"ve been stuck in my mind. I"ve seen the memories needed to power this spell. The memories of the six of you should be enough for both my power and mind. Barely enough."
The cage started to shake violently as Benjamin smiled a crooked smile.
"It won"t be enough to hold me off. If I survived a supernova, then I"ll come crawling back again. Watch me. Child of Memory..." warned Benjamin.
With another shout of the spell"s name, the cage convulsed and converged on Benjamin, before a tiny black hole behind the enemy started to swallow the Valkyrie.
The spell happened rather quickly, not much hullabaloo, no-nonsense. But Benajmin"s Aura still lingered, which meant that the Corrupted being was not fully gone.
"He can never die. When Valokia fell, he got swallowed by the supernova that Valokia had become. But since he was trying to do a Time Frame Hop, at the time it was unheard of, he got fragmented. When he opened the Time Stream to get out in time, the opening got fragmented," said Nova.
"This caused him to scatter all of Time. So no matter how many times we"ve defeated or killed him, he"ll always come back. And because he"s been exposed to the Time Element for far too long, it"s been said that it made go berserk."
"Imagine if all of Time was happening around you all at once, your mind would burn. Unless you were born out of it, otherwise known as Time Mages," explained Nova, looking at the empty spot.
"You know, he wasn"t cursed or Corrupted or fallen. That would only happen if you break a law or get on some demon"s bad side," replied Mavislin, softly.
Raiyen held his partner, trying to check her wounds.
"Rest for a bit, Mav. Poisoned Pond got you too well," said Raiyen, gently trying to hush his girl.
"He was born with Corrupted Powers, the Corrupt Element. It is kinda similar to Baldwin"s Dark Element. But in the end, he was my twin. Is it wrong to fight your family if it is your enemy?" asked Mavislin, before pa.s.sing out once more.
"That girl, she woke up just to ask us that. How problematic," said Baldwin, shaking his head.
As Ysabeau dived down to take care of Mavislin"s wounds, the Memory Princess collapsed.
"Thank the heavens she didn"t die, or else it would create some nasty anomalies," commented Baldwin, laying the blanket down onto the girl.
Mavislin stood by the bedside, looking at Nova"s sleeping face.
"Baldwin was right, no matter how hard we try, we"ll always end up losing our daughter. Just in multiple ways," lamented Mavislin, ruffling her child"s hair.
Raiyen gave a punch towards Baldwin.
"Oi! Not my fault!"
"The fact that she said "multiple ways" is a hint that someone allowed my girl to Time Travel behind my back," huffed Raiyen, crossing his arms.
"Not that, it"s just... We"ve spent over four years trying to find her."
Raiyen was taken aback. Four years?!
"Problem now is trying to get her home," explained Gillian, who stood by the doorway.
"Isn"t this her rightful home?" asked Z.
"If she stays here, the Time Stream will be affected. It would mean that there would be two Raiyens running around. And besides, if she doesn"t get to her actual Time Stream soon, she"ll be captured once again or even worse," said Raiyen.
