Chapter 71

Akirexer and Escabitha brawled in the sky. Meelzib lost sight of them and turned his attention to those below him. He dived to the ground and was immediately surrounded by all the commanders except Diavinx. Meelzib's dragon mark left his chest and morphed into a double edged golden sword with a green handle.

"You never cease to surprise us, Meelzib." Naraygeous was first to speak up.

"It is King Meelzib." Meelzib angrily corrected Naraygeous. "Know it. Remember it. Respect it. Fear it."

Yolin scoffed openly. "You are a king of no one. Your reign was nothing but a plague to Dark Star."

"I can never be moved by the words of a harlot." Meelzib took his stance. "I am the rightful ruler of Dark Star. My father, King Raglan ruled Dark Star for close to ten thousand years before I succeeded after him. That witch you call queen is nothing but a daughter of a common carpenter. I'm taking my kingdom back and there's nothing you can do to stop me."

"We will have to see about that!" Naraygeous charged.

Meelzib countered his attack with his sword and pushed him away. Ouman threw his giant silver hammer at Meelzib but he ducked and it missed narrowly hitting Philanda. Yolin wrapped Meelzib in her whip and Diavinx stabbed him with his sword.

"It's so nice of you to finally join us, Diavinx." Ouman said to Diavinx in a sarcastic tone.

Diavinx grinned mischievously. "That boy was quite the handful." He explained.

Suddenly there was a large explosion that swept the commanders off their feet. They frantically scanned the area for Meelzib and spotted him in the same position. They could clearly see the anger on his face. They got back to their feet and charged at him.

Philanda was the first to get to Meelzib. She used her metallic gloves with sharp claws to attack Meelzib. Philanda's weapon was a close range weapon therefore she was excellent in hand to hand combat. She clawed at kicked at Meelzib. Meelzib, unfortunately, countered all her attacks and sent her crushing down to the ground after a failed kick.

Naraygeous and Diavinx went to Philanda's rescue from opposite directions. Meelzib jumped high up in the air in order to avoid their swords. He proceeded to use his own sword to cause a wave that exploded when it came into contact with Naraygeous and Diavinx.

With Naraygeous and Diavinx down, Ronitte fought Meelzib with her coal black and spiky sword. Meelzib hit her sword out of her hand and kicked her in the face. Yolin lunged up into the air and whipped at Meelzib but he caught her whip and twirled her around in the air. He threw her to a hill and she landed on her feet. An avalanche was caused by the impact. Yolin dived back at Meelzib and threw a kick that Meelzib blocked with his elbow. Diavinx appeared from nowhere and tackled Meelzib to the ground. While Meelzib was down, Ouman hit him in the face with his hammer.

Meelzib slashed his sword and created another explosive wave that knocked Yolin, Oman and Diavinx down. Naraygeous exchanged slashes with Meelzib. He grabbed Meelzib's neck and choke slammed him to the ground. Before Meelzib could get up, Zentz landed on his stomach. Meelzib took hold of Zentz's leg and slammed him to the ground. He got on top of Zentz and unleashed uncountable punches at him. Zentz kept his elbows up.

Naraygeous appeared out of the blue and kicked Meelzib off Zentz. Meelzib jumped up and slammed his fists into the ground. Naraygeous and Zentz jumped high up in the air in order to avoid falling down. Behind them were the other commanders. Meelzib slashed his sword in the air and out came an explosive wave. The Enchanted Seven covered their faces before it hit. A deafening bang was heard and they fell hard to the ground like meteorites. They stayed there groaning and moaning in pain.

"Is this the best you could do?" Meelzib laughed as he mockingly asked them. "Tell me where that witch is." His voice turned dark and chilly.

Queen Sharaina landed behind Meelzib with a ground shaking thud. "Looking for me?" She asked, with a straight face.

"Well, well, well, if it isn't Sharaina herself. You are still beautiful as ever. I can see that the stress of running my kingdom didn't take its toll on you." Meelzib slowly clapped his hands with a smug look on his face. "Why did you keep me waiting? You know that I hate that."

"That's exactly why I took my time." Queen Sharaina replied, still with a straight face.

"I am here to take back what is mine." Meelzib clenched his fist and his fangs appeared.

Queen Sharaina's swords appeared in both her hands. "Come and get it."

Escabitha shot eye laser beams at Umandaang. Umandaang's excellent flying made Akirexer avoid getting hit. Escabitha and Umandaang aggressively bumped against each other. Umandaang blew fire at Escabitha but she countered the attack with her laser beams.

Escabitha saw Akirexer on Umandaang's back. She let out a sonic scream and it hurt both Akirexer's and Umandaang's ears. Umandaang flew high up in order to get away from the dreadful sound waves. He flew above the clouds while Akirexer scanned for Escabitha. Akirexer saw Escabitha and pulled Umandaang's fin.

"Urgh!" Umandaang did not like that.

"Shut up. She is about to hit us. Turn right now!" Akirexer ordered Umandaang.

Umandaang obeyed and the laser beam missed them.

"I need you to fly closer to her again so that I can at least wound her with my sword!" Akirexer commanded Umandaang.

Umandaang promptly obeyed and did what was commanded of him. Akirexer firmly held onto Umandaang's fins and held her sword high. When they were close to Escabitha, she tore a line from her chest to her abdomen. Escabitha squeaked in pain. She flew away from them and Akirexer got a glimpse of the Infinite medallion.

"Umandaang, I think I can pull the medallion out!" Akirexer shouted.

"I'll fly you close enough to get on her!" Umandaang confidently replied.

"Be sure to keep her distracted while I make my way to the medallion."

Umandaang flew towards Escabitha, blowing fire at her. Escabitha blocked the flames with her sonic screams. Umandaang turned and whipped Escabitha with his tail. It sent her crushing into a rocky mountain. It was at that point that Akirexer leaped off Umandaang and landed on Escabitha's back unnoticed.

Escabitha lunged at Umandaang and headbutted him. Akirexer held onto Escabitha's fur as the two beasts violently fought. She made her way to Escabitha's abdomen and crawled her way up. When Umandaang saw Akirexer, he retreated so as to avoid accidentally hitting Akirexer. Escabitha flew after Umandaang.

Akirexer got to where the infinite medallion was. She frantically brushed her hair off her face as she looked at the medallion. It was glowing through Escabitha's fur. Akirexer punched Escabitha's chest and she felt it. Escabitha stopped pursuing Umandaang and let out a sonic scream at Akirexer. The sound was so sharp that Akirexer let go of Escabitha and fell, covering her ears in pain. Umandaang swooped in and caught her before she hit the ground.

"What the fuck was that? Why didn't you use your sword?" Umandaang angrily questioned Akirexer.

"Give me a break. I thought that I was going to be able to punch a hole through her. Her skin is so hard. I think I have broken my fingers." Akirexer moaned.

"No time to whine. I'm going to get you close again! Here she comes!"

Melonina took cover behind a counter in the laboratory. Her head was bleeding and her leg was broken. She gnashed her teeth in pain as she felt herself dying. She didn't have enough gamarax to summon her dragon. Bringing it out was going to instantly kill her.

Melonina attentively listened for any sounds with her guns pointing up. She wondered how much longer she was going to be able to use her guns. Dr Spencer's attacks really contaminated her body.

The counter was suddenly torn off the floor and Melonina shot at Dr Spencer. Dr Spencer bounced up and down like a rubber ball as he dodged the bullets. He spread out his wings and sprinkled an acidic fluid that further corrupted Melonina's system.

Dr Spencer used his tentacles to pull out a water tank and threw it at Melonina. She rolled away to safety, firing her guns. To her dismay, Melonina's leg was pulled by a tentacle and slammed multiple times against the wall. The last hit hurt so bad that Melonina involuntarily deactivated her guns. She forced herself to sit up against the wall. She huffed and puffed for air as she looked at Dr Spencer.

Waxx was still lying on the ground waiting for his strength to return to him. He suddenly had a tight feeling in his chest and he sat up.

"Melonina is in trouble. I must get to her."

****

"Vice commander, thank you for been a test subject to my new found power. You have just shown me how effective my research was."

Dr Spencer stretched out his mutated hand and it grew twice as long. It was completely covered in oxmaynatrifin.

"I will reward you by making your death quick and painless."

Dr Spencer threw a punch at Melonina and she closed her eyes. Melonina heard the sound of flesh tearing up but... it wasn't hers. She was horrified to see Waxx shielding her. His blood was all over Melonina's face. Dr Spencer's fist was showing from Waxx's back. He scowled at Waxx who just grinned back at him with a bloody mouth.

"You didn't think that I would let you die, huh babe?" Waxx asked Melonina.

"Waxx!" Melonina cried.

Waxx hit Dr Spencer's hand hard with his elbow and it broke. He used his scythe to chop off his head. Dr Spencer started showing signs of regeneration and Waxx summoned Gemigon. Gemigon blew fire on the remains until nothing but dust was left. Waxx collapsed to the floor and Gemigon disappeared immediately.

Melonina crawled to Waxx in tears. She held him in her arms and used her thumb to wipe the blood off his mouth. She was crying uncontrollably. Waxx was bleeding on her and she didn't know what to do. Waxx tried to wipe her tears but he didn't have the strength. Summoning Gemigon took away his remaining gamarax. His vision started to get blurry. Melonina's cries became faint until he could no longer hear her.

"Waxx don't do this to me. Please don't die on me. How will I live without you? I love you. Please don't leave me." Melonina cried.

Waxx could no longer stay awake. He closed his eyes and Melonina felt her heart drop.

"WAXX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
