Astral's Rise Part 29: Round 15

He shocked himself awake and bounced out of the bubble looking up at Jaimie from the ground. "This is nearly over, and I need a break." She would bend over and pet him on his head. Pulling back his hood in order to do so.

She would smile down to him. "After this we get a break for as long as you need one."

"Besides I'll force your clones to build our project." Adam yelled from a distance away.

Laughing Astral would roll to his back. "Yeah, that all sounds nice. I can't wait."

"Astral, report to the arena for the prelude to the final fight." The gods spoke as Astral smiled. Two left. He shifted his focus and started to smile as he walked to the arena. He saw two women very similar in stature, with a smile he would speak.

"Hey pretty things, how did you two last so long without a scratch. Especially with those asses you have." He would hold his sword up and point to them. "You won't get farther." he posed himself ready for battle before seeing a lightning bolt being fired at him. Hopping over it he saw an inferno chase after him and swarm him. His suit fired to life as his wing tried to fly him to safety. But being clipped would drive him slightly off course. 

"Ha take that perv." The one wearing the rubies spoke out to Astral. The one with diamonds would charge up another attack as he closed the gap and would swing his blade at them. He was right next to them and yet he fell short. Each slice he would work his way closer as he would not stop swinging. 

His flurry of attacks kept falling short. Each slash of the sword was mere inches away from their arms, necks and chest. He would push harder and stronger using all of his power in these attacks to close the gap. Each one getting closer and farther.

Yet, he would be pulled backwards and away. He didn't understand at first. Pulling out his magnum and firing several rounds at the two. They would veer off course. He would look to use a longer reach weapon. Summoning his spear and trying to stab the one charging an attack but as he thrusted the spear forward it would be pushed backwards. Sliding through his hand. He looked puzzled at the two. 

Trying to throw a punch at them instead. Being knocked backwards by an unknown force. Looking up he saw a bunch of firebirds starting to chase him. Using an ice spell to turn them into a misty haze. 

Astral had it click in his mind. He is being repelled by them. It's a curse that they placed on him during the very first bit of the fight. They were slow and their magic was honed in a certain category. How did he not finish them in the first brawl?

Astral formed up a ball of light into his hand then threw it upwards. Spears came shooting out onto the two ladies as they raised their hands up and the spears turned to glimmering light as they got close.

Astral paused for a second as the two started laughing. Astral stood confused, their counterspells on point. "Oh this poor soul doesn't realize the abilities of the crown jewels." The diamond studded one spoke out as the two smiled, their gems glowing with more vibrance than before.

The two sent a fireball infused with lightning at him as he batted it away. Astral used hard light to redirect it away in the arena to the gods. Astral blinked past the girls, the sheathing of his katana was heard as he fell to the ground from being shocked.

"No amount of speed can save you in this fight. You can't touch us." The one with rubies spoke and stuck out her tongue to tease him. Astral would stand facing away from them as the cackling of lightning was heard from his body.

"Then I got to crush you the magical way." Astral turned to them, his glare on them increasing the gravity as they waved their hands and countered the gravity increase.

"Ha, you couldn't do that during the first fight, what makes you think you can do it now?" Diamond spoke.

"Magic Mike Bitches!" His voice echoed out from behind Astral, his silhouette glowing above Astral before fading away as the girls had the look of death in their eyes. Astral clapped as rounds of magic missiles appeared from thin air and would start barraging in on the two.

The twin jewels started doing acrobatics to avoid the missiles as Astral fired a beam of light through the two of them. Diamond stood still and used her mirror spell, sending the light directly back at twice the power. Astral held his hand up as it coursed back into his body. Slamming his fist into the ground all the light left his arm.

The girls waited as the ground erupted with fire and light. The two of them turn the ground to glass to have something stable to stand on. Astral threw a light disc straight into their platform shattering it before the twin jewels reset the ground.

Astral clapped slowly, mocking them. "If that's all you got, maybe I don't even worry about magic but test the durability of something else?" Astral knew it was a bad idea as the two of them fired off many fireballs and lightning bolts that he deflected off with a flick of his hand.

"Aww, don't let us stop you from having a fun time. We all know you should beat us." Diamond spoke as she focused her hands together.

"We just got to soften you up enough so Titan finishes you off. Aren't you glad we made that deal sis. Then we go find our other sister and finish her off." Ruby spoke as she swirled her hand in a tornado motion.

"You are the definition of evil. May there be no mercy on your souls." Astral held his hand out and snapped. "Complete darkness!" a waterfall of void came from above the two as it consumed them. Astral would begin to walk away as a flash of light came, the jewels on their clothes sparkling.

"HA! Our jewelry prevents any corruption." They spoke in unison as they fired off a giant flaming bird that had lightning covering its wings. Astral summoned his spear and covered it in a layer of ice. Jumping above the bird and throwing the spear down into it. Downing the bird as Astral hovered with his original pair of wings.

"Yet you took Titan's deal. Had to be pretty good." Astral got a chuckle as his sniper gleamed with its accents glowing. He fired all nine rounds at center mass on the two of them. Yet they all glided away.

Astral pondered the idea of what happened with the bullets. 'Is it the entity that is cursed or everything related to it. Magic won't topple them, but Zeta might.' Astral came to his senses as he dodged a bolt of lightning. Veering so hard he crashed into the ground. He glanced upward at them.

He saw them charge up another barrage of attacks. A fiery tornado tore through the mist as Astral jumped away from it. Seeing a large amount of homing lighting bolts he would jump up and throw his spear into the ground to conduct the lightning.
