Season 4 Chapter 30
Crystal nodded as the last hippogriff died.
"I need help!" Mrs. Lucina cried. "I have two phoenixes on me! All my sphinxes are dead!"
"Come to us!" Crystal shouted back. "Me and my yuki-onna are still in the fight."
Mrs. Lucina sent back a groan of gratitude.
Crystal looked in the direction the angel should be, scanning the skies for her. In three heartbeats, the ice sprite spotted Mrs. Lucina. Fire burned after her. She dodged a blast, her white wings soaring her through the skies. Crystal's stomach churned for the beautiful MILF.
"We'll save you," she muttered to herself. Then she cupped her hands. "LANA!"
Lana, soaring overhead, glanced down.
Crystal pointed towards the angel coming in fast. Lana Fulmine nodded. The movie starlet's wings crackled with her fury. Crystal looked around at her yuki-onna and Paanee, they were all ready to give the phoenixes a welcome.
Mrs. Bella Lucina flew like an angel fleeing hell.
She could feel the fires right behind her. She dodged and wove through the air. Flames shot past her. The two phoenixes screeched with fury as they fired their death at the angel. She flapped her wings hard, seeing Crystal, Paanee, Lana Fulmine, and the yuki-onna.
Mrs. Lucina just had to get to them.
Fire burned.
She banked to the right, the ball of fire screaming by her only for the other to slam into her back. She gasped as she realized she had dodged right into the inferno. The flames engulfed her, wings burning. Pain blazed through her body.
She could see her help. She had almost reached them.
Almost.
"NOOOO!" Lana Fulmine screamed as Mrs. Lucina vanished in a ball of fire. "KILL THOSE BITCHES!"
"YESSSSS!" Sparnas and Vaivory hissed as they swooped in beside Lana Fulmine.
The lightning sprite and the two quetzalcoatls all fired their electric attacks. Blasts of plasma arced from Lana Fulmine's wings while the two quetzalcoatls spat balls of sizzling energy. The three attacks surged at the phoenixes who cawed in surprise.
They had been so focused on killing the angel, they hadn't realized that she had backup.
Lana Fulmine's electric blast and the two balls of lightning slammed into the same phoenix. All three attacks struck the flaming monster girl and annihilated her. The other phoenix cawed in shock, banking hard to the right.
"Get her!" Lana Fulmine snarled and soared after her, the two quetzalcoatls beating their rainbow wings as they flew with her.
They dove at the phoenix. She flew down a street, vanishing behind a building. Lana Fulmine led her quetzalcoatls over the top of it. She built up her charge, ready to fry this monster girl. She focused on the street where she would appear.
Only the enemy popped up to the right, flying straight up. The phoenix had killed her speed. Now she flared her wings wide and fired a ball of fire. It slammed into Sparnas, the quetzalcoatl taking the blow that would have killed Lana Fulmine.
"No!" screamed the movie starlet. She hated this. She was leading the monster girls into pain and suffering. They could come back, but not until all the halflings were safe. That could be hours.
Sulanga could counterattack, and they were losing their forces.
"Come on!" Lana hissed and banked around to chase the bitch down, Vaivory with her.
"We'll get her!" the quetzalcoatl hissed, her serpent tail swishing behind her.
"Get ready!" Crystal snarled. Anger pounded in her heart. Mrs. Lucina had been so close to being rescued. "Lana's driving that bitch right for us."
The last phoenix dodged a blast of lightning from Lana Fulmine's wings then swooped to avoid a ball of electricity from Vaivory. The pair sent the phoenix flying right for the roofs that held Crystal and her force.
She formed her crystal dagger, the yuki-onna doing the same. Paanee inhaled, her boobs jiggling and tail swishing. At once, the group threw their attacks. Glittering missiles of death soared right for the flaming monster girl.
Red-feathered wings flapped. The phoenix cawed in surprise. She saw death coming for her. Flames burst from her mouth and swept out into the icy attacks. Crystal cursed as the attack engulfed their attacks.
Their ice melted into useless water.
The steam died down. Her glittering dagger gone.
But not Paanee's ball of acid.
The phoenix banked at the last second. Instead of taking a face full of acid, it struck her wing. The feathers dissolved. The phoenix gasped and spun through the air. She hit on the roof a second later, tumbling between Prekrasnyy and Moroz. The two yuki-onna formed icy daggers.
Fire burned from the phoenix's mouth as she came up into a crouch. Her flaming breath engulfed the two yuki-onna before they could reach her. They screamed, their icy bodies melting from the heat. They stumbled back, dissolving then vanishing.
Crystal's heart lurched.
Hissing, Paanee leaped at the phoenix. The naga slammed into the bird monster girl. The blue snake's tail wrapped tight about the phoenix, crushing her. Paanee's face twisted in fury, her boobs jiggling as she squeezed her coils about the phoenix.
"Yes, yes, crush that bitch!" Crystal shouted.
The phoenix threw back her head to scream in pain. But instead of a cry of agony, flames burst out of her mouth and engulfed Paanee's breasts and face. The naga's blue hair burst into fire. She threw back her head, dying.
Crystal rushed toward the fight, forming an icy dagger. She raised it to throw it as Paanee thrashed in her death throes, her body still coiled about the enemy monster girl. Crystal didn't have a clear shot. She hissed in frustration.
Paanee vanished. Returned to the Void Crystal.
The ice sprite threw her icy weapon.
The phoenix whirled around and breathed fire. It sprayed out from her, engulfing the attack and rushing for Crystal. The ice sprite threw herself back, rolling across the ground. The heat surged at her freezing body.
"No!" shouted Belyy. The yuki-onna threw herself to the ground, the fire licking over her. Water spilled off her body, part of her arm melting. But she rolled clear.
"Get that bitch!" Crystal roared, rising to her feet.
The phoenix spread her one remaining wing wide. The other was burning. Healing. She was regenerating her injury. Fucking phoenixes! snarled Crystal. She knew they could be reborn or something. Harry Potter had taught her that.
Flames exploded from the phoenix's mouth and hurtled right for Crystal.
She had to flee farther down the roof, driven back by the heat with her yuki-onna. The flaming breath pushed them towards the edge of the roof. She reached the edge and faced a drop that would kill her. She had nowhere else to run. The fire boiled at her. She threw her ice shards.
They became puffs of steam.
From above, Lana Fulmine swooped down and spread her crackling wings wide. Lightning danced in her golden hair. Her silver body gleamed as she fired her electricity down at the phoenix. She hit the monster girl from behind and fried her ass.
The phoenix screamed as the attack flung her on her belly, snuffing out her flames. She thrashed, her back charred. Crystal and her three remaining yuki-onna threw their ice daggers. The blades ripped through the phoenix's flesh.
Crystal's took the bitch in the eye.
She died.
Ms. Rosa Trueno watched as the lightning wolf thrashed in the watery ball that her student had conjured. Leo stood tall and proud. The thunder sprite padded on her feet her coppery scales gleaming with the flashes of light arcing from inside the ball of water.
The wolf thrashed, attacking the ball. Steam rose from the glob. Then it burst and the wolf exploded out of it, landing on the ground. Without breaking stride, she bounded for Ms. Trueno's student.
The teacher screamed.
The air warped before the thunder sprite. A cone of sonic force punched into the lightning wolf, throwing the beast to the side. The monster girl rolled, snarling in pain. She tumbled and gained her feet. As she did, her mouth opened.
A bolt of lightning arced out across ten feet. There was no time for Leo to dodge. Ms. Trueno's heart clenched in fear. But static energy exploded around Leo, absorbing the attack and keeping it from touching him.
Ms. Trueno gasped out in relief.
As Static Aura dissipated, protecting me from the raiju's attack, the monster girl leaped at me. Her crackling body hurtled at me to rip me apart. I didn't flinch. Didn't shout in alarm. Battle trained you to react when things shocked you.
"Incarnation of flames, let the passion of Lady Lamashtu embrace!"
Flames exploded across my body a moment before she crashed into me. Flamebody turned me into living fire. The wolf struck me and knocked me to the ground. The fire burned beneath my robes. My face blazed. The heat soared around her.
The raiju snarled in pain and she leaped off me. I grinned. As I stood up. Webbing fired down from above. The arachnes struck the lightning wolf this time. The raiju snarled, the webbing sticking her to the ground.
It smoked as her lightning attacked it, but she was frozen in place for a moment.
Ms. Trueno shouted. Her thunderous roar slammed into the lightning wolf. She fired a blast of lighting back that Ms. Trueno dodged. Then the wolf looked to the rafters and fired one up at the scuttling arachnes leaping above.
It struck Nimhe between the tits as she was in mid-jump. She landed badly, slipped, and hit the ground with a bone-crunching impact, spider legs twitching. She vanished. I felt her death in my heart as I faced down the bitch.
The webbing snapped. The wolf howled.
As Halia struggled to stand, the root-clubs hurtled at her. Death swept down at Halia. She would never block them all. Not while gasping for air and struggling to stand.
Fire boiled before her.
The salamanders burst into the room and breathed their passion. The roots crisped to ash. The treant screamed in pain, her branches rustling above her head. She stumbled back, her roots blazing. The salamanders advanced as Halia gained her feet.
The roots snapped, cutting off the burned parts. Then they surged out in a hundred directions. There were so many of them. They surged down at the salamanders.
Fire roared from their mouths. They slammed into roots. The treant grimaced in pain, her face twisting with agony. But she kept attacking with a desperation. Almost like she was afraid of what would happen if she failed.
One got through and struck Dolor in the head, crushing her skull. The salamander dropped dead to the ground.
Halia edged around the fight. The treant grew her roots as fast as the salamander's burned them. She just needed them to make one mistake, and she would strike down another. Halia moved slowly, getting out to the flanks.
Halia charged at her enemy.
Her boots slapped down on the stone, her arms pumping. She hoped to surprise the treant.
A root flicked at Halia. She raised her sword and swung, cutting it in half. But the severed end still struck her thigh. The bruising impact tripped her. She fell to the ground in a tumbling clatter.
Roots reared over the rolling Halia.
Astuta charged in, using her wings to propel her faster. They flapped behind the salamander. She reached Halia and knocked her to the side. She rolled on the ground out of the descending roots. Astuta breathed her fire.
Roots burned. Clubs blazed.
The treant snarled in pain.
But the roots got through. There were too many for Astuta to get them all. They crashed down on her, battering her down, crushing her orange scales. As Halia gained her feet, her savior vanished into motes, banished back to the Void Crystal.
"Lady Sherida, guide my steps!" the paladin prayed to the Lady of Light.
Her sword flickered.
The halflings huddled beneath the eaves of buildings, crouching from the fury of the thunderbirds that swooped down at them. Maya pressed into the wall, thinking about what to do. Down the street, Nezaymana appeared. She flexed her legs and jumped at another thunderbird.
That tactic had worked once. But the wily monster girls were ready for it and shot lightning. The blast smote the unicorn, knocking her attack to the side. She screamed in pain, spinning in the air, and hurtled back to the ground.
Unable to land properly, she hit hard, the impact finishing her off.
"Maya!" Chystota neighed. The unicorn trotted across the street, leaving behind a group of halflings huddled in an alley.
"Don't jump at them," Maya said. "You can't take the lightning blasts."
"What do we do?" the unicorn asked, her black eyes brimming with fear.
"Throw me!" Maya glanced up. Another thunderbird was coming around. "I can take a blast of lightning. I'm water."
"Okay," Chystota said, though she didn't sound convinced.
Maya wasn't, either, but she had to do something.
Chystota crouched down and cupped her hands. Maya stepped into them, her body rippling. The thunderbird crackled, about to attack a group of refugees. Anger flashed hot through the undine.
"Throw me!"
The unicorn neighed and sprang upright and threw the undine.
Like a shot from a catapult, Maya hurtled into the air. Curling up into a ball of water, Maya soared for the thunderbird. The enemy monster girl screeched in shock, spotting her. The lightning struck Maya. Pain arched through her body.
But it didn't kill her.
Steam spilled off her, the blast raising her temperature.
A heartbeat later, she splashed against the thunderbird.
Maya spread her body around the lightning monster girl, engulfing the electrical form in living water. She coated every bit of her. The thunderbird screeched and burst with current. Agony twisted through Maya as they hurtled towards the ground.
It was like being frozen with ice. The temperature in her body rose. Steam spilled off them as they fell towards the street. Her body boiled as the current arcing through her liquid heated her. But she didn't let go of the thunderbird.
I got you, bitch, Maya thought, drowning her enemy.
They hit the ground. The monster girl exploded in lightning. Maya's body ripped apart from the impact, boiling off into steam. She splashed across the road, too scattered to stay together. She felt herself dissolving. Her consciousness...
Faded.
She died.
