Iris lowered her eyelids a little and got ready to take out the scroll she obtained from the Temple.
“The Empire is getting ready to launch an all out war against the world. Please, help the other races to defeat the Humans. “
King Alliduddin was shocked to hear the words coming from his niece’s mouth, as she is a half-human after all, and moreover, Schwartz Geiger is her father.
”This war will lead to a worse, therefore stopping it will prevent a massive bloodshed… or perhaps a total wipeout of everything.”
The King was surprised at her words. Total wipeout of everything? Is it that serious?
“We cannot let the power within the vessel awaken or she will bring the end of the world!”
Reaching the crucial point, Iris took out her scroll, but her action was halted by a piercing scream coming from one of the maids nearby. But it will take them a while longer to realize the disaster which was now coming their way. Perhaps the princess has arrived a little too late.

“The first blast has penetrated the Mu barrier and will meet its target in five minutes!”
The sentinel of the Empire reported the situation to his King, who sat on his throne and tasted his red wine as if welcoming the blood bath he has given Tartan.

“Azure, look at the sky!!”
Lilith felt something strange, and stopped in her path to check out the firmament. To her surprise, a gigantic ball of blinding light was rushing towards the capital city at a maddening speed. Azure followed suit and glanced at the horror.
”That is too huge to be a fallen star… I have a bad feeling about this. “
Being Mu users themselves, they can feel that the ball of energy was created using Mu of many others… and amongst was Elder Kongi’s. If this blast was to give Tartan a direct hit, the kingdom will be no more.
“We must do something!”
*************************************************************************************
“?”
As Damask tries to send his powers crushing into his sister, he paused dead for a moment. Something is not right, and he felt it. As he checked the skies, his expression grew horrible.
”The Apocalypse has fired?! But the designated firing time was supposed to be dawn!” His heart raced as he thought.
Red noticed his hesitation and made use of the loophole to spring back to action.
“Wandering your minds off a battle?” she mocks as her eyes followed her brother’s and noticed too the abnormality, “What the…?”
“I have no more time to waste on you!”
He sends his final attack towards Red, which created an explosion in the sand.
“Argh, Scarlet, wait!” Red’s eyes were blinded temporarily and her lycanthropy effect was no more. As she slowly reverted back to normal, Damask is escaping fast. She tried to keep up with his speed, but she knew she could not as he was powered up by his Mu. Still, she will never allow her brother to fall into darkness again.
“Scarlet, tell me what is going on!”
Red chased closely behind.
“None of your business, Kurt woman!”
Damask added more power to his knees so that he can boost his speed. He has to find Iris fast or she will perish along with Tartan. But the compass was already being used to increase his Mu, and there was still a mile from the city…
There was not enough time to go back now.
*************************************************************************************
“If that is the case…”
Azure gathered up all his power within him to get ready to release his avian Mu while Lilith augments him by sending him hers.
“If we can’t destroy, we will try to deflect it!”
A familiar shimmering blue circle drawn with ancient symbols formed on the uneven sand he stood. A surge of energy reached the brinks of Azure’s containment. Gargantuan blue wings sprouted behind him.
A high-pitched screech rang throughout the kingdom, and everyone rushed to the city’s gates to witness the happening. To their horror, the night sky was lit up brightly by a huge ball of light: One which felt much hotter than even the afternoon sun, one which carried the moaning of many, and also one which is now coming for their lives.
The citizens of Tartan screamed and tried to run towards the desert in vain. They knew that the disaster was too big to be avoided, but still, running is the only way out.
”Look mom!” A Tartan child carried in his fleeing mother’s arms pointed towards the open desert in another direction, “A huge blue sparrow is fighting it!!”
But unlike the past, this time the bird seemed to be much larger, so large, that it can probably swallow the entire palace.
*************************************************************************************
In the capital city of Xenon, the Human scientists and soldiers gathering at the gigantic arsenal hall were all breaking into cold sweat as they prayed for the Apocalypse to succeed. Standing at an impressive twenty feet of height, the cannon-liked Machina has used up almost a third of the treasure vault’s money. Should it fail to penetrate Tartan, the heads would no longer be attaching onto their necks.
”I-interception in five, four,” a shivering scientist watched the screen carefully after he operated the final switch, “three, two, one…”
*************************************************************************************
And the ball of energy was met with Azure’s resistance just before it took Tartan by surprise.
His Mu flew to the skies and wrapped its pinions around the blast. As the two great forces collide, the sparrow gave a low moan, as if in pain. Two more wings grew from its back and flapped powerfully to allow it to stay off the grounds and away from the people.
“Argh….”
Azure was being pushed backwards slowly by the shockwave of the two forces, drawing deep trails of crevasses into the soft sand. The incoming blast was overpowering his, but he was not ready to give up yet. He did not know where did he drew his energy from, but somehow, he felt that if he does not save the Tartan people, something far worse than this catastrophe might strike.
