The Betrayal of the Empire 4

Aria and I got prepared to have our battle, and everyone watched. The difference between this battle is we are finally unleashing our full power. Ysserel put everyone who wasn't fighting in a barrier and the barrier floated in the air out of range of the battle. Aria bellowed and her aura surged as it glowed seven colors. The colors were Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, and Violet. This was her completed Ultimate Mode or as she calls it, her Seven Sage Mode.

"That's an impressive form you got there. Seven Sage Mode..Well I guess it's my turn to show you a form beyond True Heavenless Bushi Mode." I said.

"Please do." Aria smiled.

"It's called True Demon Queen...A form I worked to control. My Ultimate Form is the reason I am and still feared in Arcania." I said.

"Oh? Now I'm excited." Aria said.

I exhaled and smoke came from my mouth and my eyes shined brightly. Black aura surged from my body and spiralled around my body. Black lightning surged around my body as well and I began to bellowed. My scleras turned black and two horns slowly grew from my head. Wings slowly formed from my back and I fully bellowed and my aura surged powerfully. Aria guarded her face and slid back. My aura vanished and I opened my eyes then purple aura particles floated around me.

"This is who I truly am. This is the True Dark Queen within me. I too possess the Seven Auras...but those colors never mattered to me..because my aura takes on the darker properties of them. My aura can't be purified because it's already in its most purified state." I said.

"What..? When did you gain the power of the Seven Auras..?" Aria looked at me. "And how is your aura already in its purified state? Dark Aura is a Corruption of one's heart."

"My heart is no longer Corrupted. And I possess the Seven Auras because my specific Dark Aura contains the hatred of the Seven Auras. It contains the negative versions of all Seven Auras. Anyone with Dark Aura, can be purified. Zain can be purified, his curse can be erased with your aura. Your aura can not be corrupted because you have Pure Aura. You have Anti-Evil. I have Anti-Holy." I said.

"This is the true power of the Undefeatable Dark Queen. Why did you suppress yourself so far?" Aria asked.

"Because I only knew how to kill before I knew how to control my power. Anyone who stood in my way faced immediate death. I didn't want to kill anymore. True Heavenless Bushi Mode is a form that doesn't have evil in it because it is an awakened version of Heavenless Bushi Mode. True Demon Queen contains so much Unholy power that if my emotions become unhinged, I will go completely berserk." I explained. "So much to where I will lose all my sanity and this form already makes me sacrifice a bit of my life force to activate..that's why I never use this form."

"So you can never have God Mode..?" Aria asked.

"I am only subjected to Demon Mode Line. Just like you, I haven't reached my full potential. I'm just afraid of evolving any further. Devil Mode...It could destroy everything about me." I said.

"Same here...the Seven Sage Mode is just an Angel Mode transformation...If I were to evolve any further I could lost control of my power." Aria said.

We looked at each other and our auras calmly flowed. Black lightning crackled around my body and we nodded then got in a battle stance.

"Since we basically have the same powers, we will always be equal." Aria smiled.

"Not even Nobunaga can deal any form of damage to me even with his ability. You are my only equal." I said.

"Did you hear that Miyuna?!" Saya shook Miyuna.

"Ye-e-ah! I heard!" Miyuna said as Saya shook her.

"Mother acknowledged someone as her equal..." Kotome said in shock. "She always said she knows no equals.."

Adriesta smiled and watched. She noticed Victoria and Kielazar walking up with Julia, Sazuka, and Su Yi. Ysserel stopped them with her wing.

"We are having a mock battle and I ensure that you don't want to be close when the battle starts." Ysserel said.

"O-Okay." Victoria nodded.

"Let's start now!" Aria dashed towards me.

I dashed towards her and our fists collided and a force of energy was released and even Ysserel couldn't withstand the force of aura. She slid back a little. The girls in the barrier yelled as the barrier was pushed back. We dodged and clashed then struck each other's faces and blew each other back. I stopped myself and black lightning took shape of a bow and I grabbed the lightning and Naughtfall formed.

"Fear my power! Oblivion Shot!" I bellowed and took stance and shot the arrow and it was fused with extreme dark aura.

Aria slammed her hand against the ground and an earth wall blocked the shot. She quickly did hand signs and pushed the wall forward and ran with it.

"Bulldoze Rush!" Aria bellowed.

My bow turned into lightning then vanished and I placed my hands on the earth wall and stopped it. We both pushed and struggled. In our Angel and Demon Modes we can control the elements corresponding to the Seven Auras which were Fire, Water, Earth, Air, Aether, Ice, Light, Dark, Nether, Space, and Time. Aria stomped her foot down and ice spikes emerged from behind me. I bellowed and ripped the earth wall from the ground and slammed it to the ground where the next spike was going to emerge then added intense heat, turning it into diamond and the ice spikes couldn't break through. Aria dashed backwards and closed her eyes generating aura. In these forms, aura is our main source of energy if we want to use magic of any kind.

"Whoa I've never seen this level of battle before." Saya was immersed in the battle.

"Yeah...it's like a battle between two Goddesses." Tia nodded.

I dashed towards Aria and Aria opened her eyes and a force of energy blew me away. I didn't even see her move. I rebounded off one hand and landed on my feet. Aria dashed toward me and vanished then I was hit by an invisible force again. I opened my right eye and noticed she was using the Violet Aura. I landed on the ground and let out a bellow and Aria appeared and slid back.

"Space-Time Cancellation." Aria said. "How did you catch me on time for that?"

"I got a gut feeling." I said.

Aria smirked and vanished then went for a strike again then noticed I dodged. She saw Violet Aura flash from my eyes and was impressed. She was using the Enhanced Agility aspect to her Violet Aura and I was using the Enhanced Reflexes aspect. I struck Aria's stomach and bellowed then a pillar of dark aura surged from her back. I twisted my body and yelled.

"Oblivion Bullet!" I blew Aria away and she rolled on her side and rebounded up and moved her hair from her eyes.

Lightning appeared in front of me and I grabbed the lightning and it formed my sword, Oblivion. Aria summoned her sword and the sword shined and as it transformed into an angelic blade. I heard a screech and Aria bellowed and her aura shined brightly then turned white.

"This is a different kind of Awakening.." Azami said in shock.

"This...is evolution." Ysserel said. "She is achieving..."

"God Mode.." I said, and couldn't do anything but watch. "Transcended Aura.."

Aria opened her eyes and white aura surged powerfully then she took one step then vanished from reality. My body started to fly around like a ragdoll as I was being struck. Aria appeared above me and kicked down and I crashed into the ground.

"Stella!" Saya yelled.

"Aria is so powerful now!" Ashe said.

"Stella won't take her abilities any further because she's scared, but she has to if she wants to save us all! Stella! Let go of your fears! You don't have to fear the destruction you'll cause! Your only fear is that you won't be able to protect us!" Miyuna yelled.

I laid there and looked at Aria as her aura was flowing around her. It was beautiful. The way her aura and body shined...Transcended Aura looked so cool. I wanted it not because I want to beat Aria...I wanted it because I wanted to save Arcania and it looks so beautiful. I stood up and my arms turned black. My horns turned into a deep blue and black color.

"What's happening to her?" Kotome asked.

Aria watched and felt my power rising to the point where only she could sense it. My aura went from black and purple to deep blue and black. My eyes shined a very pure gold color. The area was silent. I felt so free, so wonderful. The aura around my body didn't seem haunting or as much as a burden. I was one with my body and mind. One with my desire and soul. It was like I was evolving as a person than my power evolving. My aura sparkled in ways my aura couldn't in the past. My heart was becoming more pure. My aura wasn't surging wildly at all, more like in a tranquil state.

"Mother...she looks so calm.." Kotome said.

Yes...I've achieved Transcended Aura and my mind and soul were as calm as possible to the point where Devil Mode could not corrupt me.

"She reached it. She cast aside her fears...she achieved Devil Mode and it works like God Mode.." Ysserel said. "Her Aura contains no evil unlike her demon mode."

"It's so beautiful...her aura shines like no other." Azami said.

I held my hand out and my eyes shined then a huge burst of Nether energy blew Aria away. Aria yelled and crashed to the ground. I had full control over my power. Aria coughed and stood up slowly.

"Nether Explosion..?" Victoria said.

"I've never felt like this before.." I said. "To have this form of power and control..."

"Same here...I feel so new." Aria smiled.

I nodded and looked at my hands and they were pitched black. My new form was a Demon Goddess...I smiled and looked up. I'm fully back to my roots as a Dark Queen. This time instead of being a brute like I once was, I am much more calm and I AM going to save everyone I love. My sisters, my children, my friends, my family, my people, everything. I can not fail. I refuse to fail.
