The Queen’s True Power
Angella and the students of Class B were all holding their own against another large group of guards.
“Brilliant rays!” Angella shouts as a volley of light beams pelt the enemy soldiers she was fighting. “Come on, you guys are making this too easy for me!”
“It seems like you’re having fun. I thought that you didn’t want to fight today?” Shiro asks as she shoots a ball of white energy at one of the guards.
“Believe me when I say that I don’t.” Angella responds in a more hushed tone so her opponents can’t hear her. “I just can’t let my opponents know that. I still think that this is a bad idea.”
“Oh! That actually makes a lot of sense!” Shiro says before she turns around and punches another guard into the air. “Dragon Uppercut!”
Zahid uses his wind powers to zip between many different guards and knocks them all down with a series of kicks. “If you want to land a hit on me you need to be faster.”
“...But we can’t keep up with you…you’re as…” One of the guards begins to say before Zahid cuts him off with another kick.
“Quick as the wind? I’m well aware.” Zahid cuts him off before turning around and continuing to fight.
Jazmine was rolling around the room on two circular whole notes she conjured while a group of guards was trying to chase her down and catch up with her.
“Hey! Slow down and let us hit you!” One guard demands as he stops to catch his breath.
“Well, I can slow down, but I’m not going to let you guys do the other thing. Not when I have you all exactly where I want you.” Jazmine holds up her trumpet, takes a deep breath, and blows on it as hard as she could while still being in tune. The giant musical note this creates sends about two dozen guards flying backwards and through a nearby window.
“Thank you all! You’ve been a wonderful audience!” Jazmine says sarcastically as she takes a bow.
Zypp is purposely getting a lot of guards to chase them before they create a zipper portal in front of themself, quickly step to the side, and watches as the guards fall through the portal and into a nearby lake through a portal they had set up earlier in the day.
“Hook, line, and sinker!” Zypp quips right before they quickly dodge an oncoming attack by opening another portal and stepping through it.
“It’s play time!” Samara creepily states while she shows off her sharp teeth with a huge smile.
Samara has her shadow dragons, Edgar and Allen, attack some nearby guards before she calls them back and funnels them into Poe until he’s grown to about eight feet tall.
A few guards see the teddy bear and are so intimidated by what they see that they drop their weapons on the spot and begin to run.
“Don’t run away!” Samara says with a playful laugh. “Poe just wants to give you all a big hug!”
Takeru was holding his own as he clashed with the swords of many guards and absorbed the energy of the laser blasts from many others.
After a few minutes of this Takeru sword was glowing a bright neon green.
“Thank you all for giving me the energy for this attack!” Takeru snarks before swinging his sword down and sending a large wave of green kinetic energy towards his remaining opponents. “Does anybody else want to mess with me?”
After asking this question he then turns around to see if there was anyone there to accept his challenge. With how many enemy guards were still in this castle the answer to that should be obvious.
“Alright! Bring it on!” He shouts as he runs over to another group of enemies to continue to fight.
Violet uses her powers to make the door to the throne room light and opens it with ease.
“Alright, I’m back. What did I miss?” She asks as she quickly makes her way over to the rest of her team.
Love just looks at her with a look of abject terror and points towards the other side of the throne room.
Elizabella was back on her feet, but she was very different from the last time she saw her only a couple of minutes ago. The Queen was surrounded by a field of purple energy and tons of randomly sized chunks of rock she got by using her powers that she pulled out of the walls and floor of the room. There were probably several tons of debris floating around her as she slowly dragged her sword (that she is using her gravity powers on to piece back together) across the floor.
“Get out!” She shouts. “GET OUT OF MY HOME!”
She gestures towards the heroes with her free hand as chunks of rock follow its lead as the entrance of the room begins to get pelted with stone as if a meteor shower were happening in doors (which weirdly enough wasn’t the first time such a thing happened in the castle on that very day).
“...Be careful…” Jack says to his students as he puts himself in front of them. “...Elizabella’s power just awakened…”
Juanita continued her fight with Noir, but she was tired and just about out of energy to fight.
Noir shoves a dogpile of clones off of himself and uses the excess blood from all the fighting in the castle to create a giant pair of dripping red clawed hands from himself.
“This has been entertaining, but I’m beginning to grow tired of this!” Noir says with a twisted smile as he slams one of his hands down on a group of Junaita’s clones. “I think I’m just going to kill you now!”
“I’d like to see you try, estupido!” Juanita shouts as she creates a few more copies of herself and sends them towards Noir.
…And he easily defeats them with one clap of his massive bloody hands…
‘I don’t think I can do this anymore.’ Juanita thinks to herself. ‘...I think…I think that I need to retreat…just for now at least…’
Using the last of her power she creates one final clone and has it run away from Noir while heading deeper into the throne room.
Noir quickly chases it down and squashes it like a bug, but this distraction gives Juanita just enough time to leave the fight.
She heads back toward the door and forces herself to speak even though she really needed to catch her breath.
“...I…I think a tactical retreat would be the best course of action…at least until we come up with a plan…” Juanita shares her current plan with Jack as she does her best to stay on her feet despite her lack of energy.
Jack nods and turns towards his students.
“I know we just got here, but I think that Ms. Primera is right. Retreating would be the best option for us right now.”
“...But what about Thomas?” Love meekly states.
“We’ll get him back later. That is a promise.” Juanita reassuringly says as she places a hand on Love’s shoulder.
After the shy blonde woman looks away from Juanita and towards Elizabella and the other villains who were quickly making their way towards the heroes she nods.
“Alright. Let’s get out of here. I’ll create a diversion.” Jack says as his students quickly nod and open the door behind them.
He pulls out one of his flasks and takes a sip before shooting a massive stream of fire at Elizabella and Noir. This causes the villains to flinch for just long enough and that gives the heroes and Jack enough time to exit the room.
