Chapter 9: The Death of the Magala Girl
Touka stared at Rika as she walked closer to her, Touka did not move.
"Touka, I know what I did in the village was wrong but I want the one thing I came here for " Rika said as she stood in front of her.
"I'm not going to let you have that one thing" Touka said staring at her.
"You cant change my plane Touka," Rika said sharpning her claws
"I can and I will," Touka said pulling out her sword.
Rika started slashing at her and Touka would block and counter her slashing with her sword and shield. Leon, Dakota, and Zumo. noticed the fighting and they all started running to them but where stopped buy Gore Magalas the fell from the sky.
"Uh, one, two,.......I count five," Zumo said.
"I'm not going to die today," Dakota said as he pulled out his Duel Blades
The two split up and started attacking a Gore Magala. The seven other hunters entered the room to find Rika and Touka fighting and Dakota, Leon and Zumo fighting Gore Magalas.
"Holy mother of the Elder Dragons! What's going go?" Tala asked.
"I don't know but I'm going to blow one of them up!" Nuria yelled as she sprinted into the area and jumped onto one of the Gores and started stabbing it.
"Everyone attack a Gore!" Hiroshi yelled as he charged in with his hammer out.
Kane, Tala, and Xan each pick a Gore Magala started attacking it. Touka and Rika continued fighting. Slash after slash after slash Toukas sword and Rikas claws would collide sending sparks everywhere. Rika charged some power in her claws ready to strike again but Touka jumped back avoiding the attack just as Rika slammed her claws on the ground cracking it. Touka noticed the crack glowing purple, Touka jumped away from the crack as it suddenly exploded. The dust from the explosion made it hard for Touka to see. Rika quickly jumped to Touka before she could see anything, Touka tried to dodge but she was cut on her arm before she could avoid the attack completely. She held her arm in pain. Rika then took control of one of the Gore Magalas and used its wing claw to grab her. Touka did not have anytime to react and the Gore grabbed her and pick her up and held her.
"Touka, you're not going to win, I'm a lot stronger then you and I have the power of the Gore Magala," Rika said as she stared at her.
"What do you gain from winning? You all ready lost everything when you left," Touka said as the Gores claw held her still.
"That's not true, I got my family back, my brother and my father," Rika said
"But you also lost one, you lost me, Dakota, Zumo, and the rest of the people in the village, they all loved you. When you never returned everyone was heartbroken, including me," Touka said as she was about to cry.
"That's the thing I wanted back, the family I lost, but when I came back I saw dead monster bodies everywhere, they were not even missing anything but they were hunted, you don't hunt for sport," Rika said enraged at the thought.
"You came back for us? Why?" Touka asked
"I miss all of you, but I can see now that I can be replaced," RIka said as she slowly started crushing Touka.
Touka felt the Gores claws slowly tighten its grip on her.
"Don't hurt them Rika, Your fights with me!" Touka yelled
"I'll fight you they are all dead!" Rika yelled back as she then suddenly let out a screech.
All the Gores suddenly became enraged and they continued to attack the hunters. Touka could not break free from the Gores grip on her, all she could do is watch. One of the Gores hit Xan with its wing claw which sent him flying into a wall and used its other wing claw to pin Tala down. One of the nails impaled Tala straight through her stomach causing her to cough up blood. The Gore then left her for dead. When Xan got back on his feet he noticed his sister bleeding on the ground. He dropped his weapon in shock and sprinted to her. He arrived at her side and gently lifted her head up to look at her.
"Tala....no.....," Xan said as tears fell down his face.
Tala slowly opened her eyes to look at her brother one last time
"You.....all ways were a cry baby," she joked and closed her eyes.
Xan did not let go of her, he held her in his arms and cried. Suddenly the same Gore stood over him and chomped his head off. Hiroshi, Yukio and Kane were dodging several attacks and landing hits on it, but the Gore had enough and jumped into the air and fired and charged frenzy orb onto the ground. Hiroshi and Yukio jumped away from it but Kane was hit and the orb exploded casing Kane to disappear leaving only his armor and weapon. Yukio was in shock not noticing that the Gore was flying in the sky and fired another orb, the orb hit him which sent him flying into a small wall and the whiplash from the impact snapped his neck. Hiroshi was an opening and started spinning his hammer hitting the Gore several time and knocking it down. He then charged at its face but he did not notice in time that the Gore was charging a frenzy orb in its mouth and the Gore fired the orb but it did not send him flying in only stunned him which gave the Gore the opening to bite his legs off, this caused him to fall sending the hammer into the sky. Hiro noticed the hammer coming straight for his face. The hammer then destroyed his face and crushed his head. Nuria was firing her gunlance burning its wing, Elora fired a arrow which hit its head and caused the Gore to fall. Nuria the stared charging her gunlance with wyvern fire next to its face. As it was about to go off the Gore bit into the gunlance.
"Well at least i'm going to die in flames," Nuria said as the Gore broke the gunlance which caused a huge explosion sending Nurias body flying off the nearby cliff. The explosion made Elora jump behind a small wall taking cover from debris and hiding from the Gore. Dakota and Zumo approached Rika knowing stopping her would stop the Gores. Zumo charged at Rika with sword in hand ready to end her. Rika noticed and jumped over him and grabbing his spine with her Gore claws, she then snapped his spine casing him to fall. She then looked at Dakota ready of his attack. he held his Dual blades out and charged at her, she charged back and there weapons clashed. As they were fighting Touka noticed that the grip of the Gore was loosened so she readied herself to escape but she couldn't stop watching the two fight. There weapons strike with extreme amount of power but the movements were so graceful the looked like they were dancing. Soon they were all out of energy and they could barely breath but Dakota charged one last time and so did Rika, and with a quick clash of there weapons they ended up of opposite sides. Neither moved for a moment. Rika turned around to look at him, Touka looked at Dakota and noticed that there was a huge claw slash across his chest. He then fell without another movement.
"NOOOOO!" Touka screamed
"I win Touka and you cant stop me," she said controlling the Gore once more.
Touka was ready this time with her sword and slashed the Gores claw causing Rika to feel the same pain. This caused Rika to drop her, Touka then charged at her with a scream with sword first and impaled her straight through he chest. Suddenly all the Gores stopped what they were doing and all the Star Knights noticed this. Leon then looked over at Touka and Rika seeing what just happened. Rika was in shock and could not breath very well, she slowly looked down at Touka. Touka then pulled the sword out which caused Rika to fall on her knees bleeding. Touka looked at her with rage in her eyes. Rika eyes widened with realization remembering her vision.
"I'm.....I'm sorry for not saying goodbye," Rika said as she fell dead.
Touka just stared at her dead body. The Gore Magalas suddenly flew off in fear. Leon walked up to his sister and removed his helmet.
"I'm sorry Touka, that this had to happen," Leon said looking at the body and the other bodies.
Touka dropped her sword and hugged her brother as she started crying in his chest. The other Star Knights took a knee to honor the lives that were lost. Elora stood up and noticed all the Star Knights around. She walked up to Touka and Leon. Leon looked at her.
"Thank you for helping as much as you could," Leon said.
She just stayed quiet as she also took a knee.
Touka just continued crying in her brothers chest as the Star Knights and Elora stayed quiet.
