Chapter 17: Attack on Antoinerei

Moskov stood tall on top of a cement post. He was also known as "The Twilight Dragon"

because of his speed and loyalty to the Abyss. He has used the power of the Twilight Orb, which is now in the hands of Selena. Stronger and more powerful than ever, Moskov destroyed half of the city of Eruditio with one strike of his spear.

"Weak humans. Your lives are worthless and pitiful. Let me put it to an end." he said.

He raised up his spear, in a battle position. He started to throw his spear, but the others kept dodging and dodging. Some of them got struck, and died in an instant.

"No!"

"What?" *Moskov laughed* "Scared to lose your life? Are you even a hero?"

"Yes I am." Hayabusa said. "And I'll prove it when I beat you!"

Haya and Moskov started to run towards another. Their weapons clashed and crashed as Haya swinged his sword, slash after slash. Moskov however, kept on throwing his spears, but Haya was too fast and dodged every single one of them. Haya managed to wound his hand, but was tired and out of energy.

"Is a wound all you can do?" he said. "Useless."

Moskov who kept on attacking Haya, was blindsided, as Gusion came out of nowhere and used his Sword Spike skill to hit Moskov in the back. Blood gushed from the wound, but he was still standing. Moskov was again hit by a Malefic Bomb which Layla threw following Gusion's attack.

"Hmmm, there's more of you peasants. Well I brought my partner here too!"

Gusion saw a missile-like object from the sky. It was decsending faster and faster as it fell. It was headed towards Layla's direction.

"Watch out!

"Aaaahhhh!

Gusion quickly picked up Layla, who got nearly hit by the object. It turned out to be Aldous. Once a protector of the Twilight Orb who fell in the Abyss and got corrupted. He now calls himself Death.

"Aldous, just in time. The party's just getting started!" Moskov said.

"I don't do talkings." Aldous said. "I use my fist."

Gusion, Layla, Hayabusa and the others dodged their attacks, as Moskov kept on throwing spears and Aldous was delivering massive punches on the ground.

"Moskov, can't we just finish this already? Bring out the demons!"

And demons appeared out of holes in the grounds. It was a massive army of demons, hundreds, or even thousands of them.

"Demons, attack!"

All of a sudden, policemen, friendly heroes and S.A.B.E.R. agents came in. They went to the fronts and began shooting. Some of them wielded lightsabers and lightswords. Some of which, were wearing special combat suits.

"Form in position! Hold them back!"

A big clash begins. Bodies were flying everywhere. The floor turned into molten lava as Thamuz the Lord of Lava joined the fray. Even the Blood Queen Alice was there.

"Let's go Layla!" Gusion said.

"I'm right behind you!"

Gusion was throwing all of his swords at Moskov, which Layla followed up with a big Malefic bomb. Moskov was flying and throwing spears killing anyone he hits. Gusion and Moskov traded blows, as they were throwing everything they had to one other. Hayabusa who was focusing on Thamuz got caught in a chain, and got struck by a swordsman with a dark blade. He dropped Haya's body, which was bloodied. The swordsman had black wings, and a green flame raged inside him. His helmet however got the attention of Rafaela, who was busy shielding and healing the soldiers. She dropped her staff and her eyes turned in surprised.

"A-Argus? Is that you?!" she said.

Argus was the swordsman on the green helmet. Seeing Rafaela, he immediately dropped down his sword and went down on the ground. Suddenly, he was hit by Johnson, which Cyclops was driving. Saber and Alucard were in the back, with their trusty motorcycles. They quickly ran over to Hayabusa and got him up back to his feet.

"What the hell happened to you?" Saber asked. "You forgot to bring your motorcycle again.

"What are you waiting for? Let's go!" Haya replied.

Alucard brought down his Tomahawk, Haya's GSX1300R and Saber's Super Blackbird. They got their motorcycles, started the engines and drew their swords

Alucard shouted: "Charge, Knights of Night!"

The three slashed their way through everyone. Saber jumped up in the air, and knocked Thamuz down with a triple sweep. Alucard fought Thamuz, his armor being heat resistant, Thamuz was no match for him. Hayabusa on the other hand rushed towards Aldous.

"Shadow Kill!"

He made over a hundred cuts in Aldous' body. Blood gushed forth everywhere.

Argus quickly got up and attacked Alucard and Saber, knocking them down both. All of a sudden, an unknown trio joined the fight.

"Lance you ready?"

"Ready as you are sister."

It was Lancelot, Odette and Guinevere. They were headed here to join the mission in saving Eruditio. Lance attacked Argus, piercing his body in every hit. Odette would then follow up with a magical blow that would drive Argus away.

"Who the hell are these people?" a policeman said.

"We can explain later. Just leave the fighting to us." Guinevere said.

Guinevere suddenly jumped over to Moskov, knocking him up in the air.

"Violet Requiem!"

Moskov fell hard on the ground. The other demons regrouped and retreated. Antoinerei's defence was solid than ever. Moskov called on the Recall skill.

"Next time we see you, you'll all die and burn in ashes." Moskov said, as his energy was detoriated.

"You're not going anywhere you cursed beast!"

As Gusion attempted to dash and cast his Shadowblade Slaughter skill, Lancelot quickly grabbed him on his shirt, and he was unable to attack.

"Hey! What are you doing? Let me go!" Gusion said.

"Let them retreat, you're too arrogant!" Lancelot replied.

And Moskov and his army escaped. Like a big meteor, they disappeared into the sky. Gusion ran to Lancelot and pushed him hard.

"What the hell were you doing? I could have got him!" Gusion shouted.

"You're so stubborn, you could have killed us all!" Lance shouted, pushing Gusion back.

"He was defenceless! I was about to kill him and you came! And now, because of you..."

"What? If you cancelled his Recall skill, they could have charged back and retaliated!

"No, you're so wrong! You always screw my life!"

"No you're the one who's wrong! You think about no one else but you..."

Gusion suddenly punched him hard in the face. Lancelot fell hard on the ground. The others tried to seperate the two before the fight could go worse. Alucard and Saber held back Gusion's arms, as he was already holding his Cyber Blade. Lancelot on the other hand was stopped by Hayabusa.

"Let me go! Let me go! What the hell are you doing?!" Gusion shouted.

"Calm down Gus! This isn't the right time to fight!" Alucard replied, who was trying to stop Gusion.

"Gusion stop! This wont do anything!" Saber said.

He was angry as hell. Lancelot was just standing behind Guinevere and Odette. He wouldn't stop, he wouldn't calm down.

"Gusion, enough!" a girl's voice shouted. And Gusion put down his knife and he held his hands in the air. It was Ruby, who had arrived late. "What's got into you?!"

Everyone was looking at him. He immidiately walked away and Recalled back to the headquarters.
