"I"ve got you, pipsqueak," said Raiyen, grinning. "It"s been a while, Mavy..." said the being as he pulled the spell back.
Mavislin did the same, remaining silent. The two then lunged at each other, fighting with the powers that only the mighty Valkyries could master. Their Auras were deafening, the area was affected severely as it was engulfed by both golden white and purple-black streams of light.
"I"ve heard stories but I"d never thought there was a possibility that it could happen," said Z, helping the Angry Man up.
"Twins of Alternate. Some say that they were born like this. Others recollected that he used to have the same power as his twin. Whatever it was, the main point was always the same. The Twins of Alternate must not fight, it will spell the end for all that is around them," explained Gillian.
The Headmaster"s gaze was strong as he witnessed the duo fighting it out.
The Corrupted enemy was fighting unpredictably, his attacks and spells were erratic. But no matter which fighting style he used, Mavislin would answer following the change. The two were neck and neck in terms of both Aura and Elemental Energy.
"Dear Mavy, how I"ve missed you," cooed the enemy, blocking a kick from his sister.
"Benjamin."
It was the only thing she said as she continued fighting. She couldn"t help but wonder, how was he able to survive that night? As she pondered about the answer more, another person was getting bored with the fight.
"Ivy Dart!" yelled out Old Man Pond, aiming a finger at Mavislin.
The Valkyrie had been too engrossed in her duel that she failed to stop the small but deadly attack. As she fell, the Corrupted being wanted to take her down. But seeing his twin falling, screaming out in pain, something snapped within the Corrupted being.
With one swing, the smoke cleared, revealing Benjamin"s look, if he were a human. About the same posture and size as Mavislin, just with dark purple eyes and black hair. His purple eyes lit with fire and rage as he managed to catch his twin.
Without missing a heartbeat, he appeared at Old Man Pond"s side, still holding his sister. Anger seared through his body as he grasped the Poisoned Pond by the neck.
"Don"t you dare touch my sister," growled Benjamin, immediately blasting Old Man Pond into dust.
"What did you do?!" shouted Baldwin, eyes fixated at Benjamin.
"Why are you concerned? Do you not hate him as well?" asked Benjamin, genuinely confused.
"Even if we did, there was no need for you to kill him," bellowed Baldwin, gritting his teeth.
Benjamin then tossed the limp body of his sister towards Raiyen. The being did not reply as he lunged towards the whole team. Nova stood from afar, unable to determine if she should ready the spell that she had been training lately.
Though it felt like years for her, it was only a few minutes that went past.
"What a fool, trying to attack us all at once. A single being Vs the four of us plus the one above. That"s gotta be suicidal," replied Raiyen, easily dodging the spells.
"Don"t underestimate him, Time Boy. The only thing that can be on par with that being is his sister, who is now defeated," said Z, rolling away from a huge Howl once more.
It was as if the enemy had changed moods drastically. At one point, he was fighting the opposite party and the next thing he"d just destroyed his ally with one single attack.
"Didn"t the books say that he went insane because of the Corrupt Aura, Gillian?" asked Raiyen, launching another Holy Trinity attack.
This managed to startle Benjamin, falling into one of Gillian"s traps.
"You"re asking someone that hasn"t got the power of Time Travel about the past?!" yelled Gillian, raising his eyebrows as he tried to control the enemy.
Just then, Benjamin laughed, looking directly at Nova.
"What"s so funny?"
"That girl over there. It"s sad, isn"t it? To constantly look into my memories. How I lived a life of mischieve and wonder. A life of freedom and happiness. That little girl you see, always holding my hand, is my twin. And you keep denying it, how can such a nice person with a family be the enemy?" he asked Nova.
He knew fully well that she was hearing into the battle.
"I"ll tell you one thing; if you live long enough, you"ll end up seeing your progress of becoming the villain. No matter how much you wish not to, try not to notice or help others, it"ll always be the same."
"Aren"t you scared of that, the mighty Founders Of The Arks? Or are you more afraid of what would happen if you drag this young girl into your adventures?" asked Benjamin, pointing at Nova.
