Chapter 7:
Meet the Joker
[First Person - Philip]
*Boom!
Something outside exploded and it breached the wall of my library.
Sigh...Who the heck would try to destroy my beloved home? I wonder what kind of shitbag are they.
"I finally found you, PHILIP!!!!!!"
That voice...good grief, that creepy pirate again. His name is Jerry Howell. Before I locked myself here in this library, I met and fought him for some reasons. But of course, he didn't even served as a warm up. Talk about a pathetic old man.
"Sigh. You still hasn't given up? It's been so long. Haven't you learned your lesson yet?"
"HAHAHAHA. This time for sure!You'll surely surrender to us!!"
I summoned my staff and get ready to cast a spell. "No way in hell. Go away you bastards."
Another footsteps approached near the breached wall.
"HAHAHAHA. Look who am I with! We finally had the power to match the white raven!"
The thick smoked vanished instantly and 2 men became visible. One is a very familiar individual.
I got astonished and my staff disappeared itself. That moment, I became aware of my tears starting to fell. That man really looks like my old friend.
"Charles... You're alive..."
Get a grip Philip! He isn't Charles! Two overlord from the same world can't possibly exist!
I wiped my teary eyes with my arms. "Yeah, you're right Aquila. I should just focus on destroying them."

[Third Person]
Mia shouted. "Hey Philip! What in the world is happening?!"
Philip looked at her. "I'll explain later. For the meantime, hide and stay safe!"
Audely argued. "We can fight too! Let us help!"
"No! This is my problem! I can face it alo---"
*Boom!
One if those two men threw something on Philip. It exploded but a barrier blocked it.
Philip glared at him. "If that's how you want to settle things, bring it on!"
Philip summoned a white staff with a blue orb and wing like stuffs stationed in it. He looked at Audely and Mia. "You take care of that gramps! I'll handle this man!"
"Roger!" shouted Mia.
⚫⚫⚫
"Aquila, what's the enemy status?"
Enemy's using dark type magic. Based on the energy he's emitting, he's probably an intermediate type wizard. He possessed the Guardian spirit of destruction. Its name is Terror and the vessel is called The Joker.
"Then we'll use a light magic to counter him."
But he's an overlord. He can be our ally.
"Foolishness. An enemy is an enemy."
Philip pointed his staff into the Joker. "I'll finish him on one hit."
"Activating flood type magic"
"Rain of holy spears"
Multiple space distortions appeared at his back.
"SHOOT"
Countless spears came out from it. All of them are aimed at the joker.
*Boom!
Huge explosion occurred. Thick smokes enveloped the whole area but Philip made it vanish just by swiping his staff.
It didn't hit him Philip!
"I know! Tsk. Where did he gone off to?!"
Joker abruptly appeared behind him. One of its fist is covered with black mist.
"Destroy"
Philip got astonished and gaped. "Crap! MAXIMIZING PHYSICAL DEFENSE!"
Joker punched Philip's stomach and it made him propelled away. He crashed into some gigantic bookshelves.
Philip flew up. "Not bad!" he shouted.
"SUMMON! WHITE SERPENT!"
A gigantic transparent snake appeared. It struck Joker directly and smashed into the wall. After that, it wrapped him.
Philip clenched his fist. "Die!!" he shouted furiously.

The serpent exploded but the Joker seems unaffected. It flew and it charged a giant black ball made of black mist up.
"DESTROY"
A black light enveloped Philip. It made him unable to move.
"What the hell is this?"
Get ready Philip. It looks like a powerful attack given the energy its building up.
"Easier said than done. At this rate, this whole library will be destroyed."
The Joker evaporated and unexpectedly showed himself up in front of Philip. Black mist covered his fists and feet.
"Destroy"
He punched and kicked Philip alternately in great speed. Being unable to move, Philip took the blows while increasing his physical defense as an only hope. He crashed into the walls and got shoved away outside.
"Damn it! That black light is preventing me to use barrier. Ouch! My whole body hurts! What the hell is he? Is that giant gigantic ball just a dec---"
*BOOM!!!!!!!!
Philip got socked with the giant energy ball that Joker charged up. A very huge explosion occurred. It made a small part of the mountain disappeared instantly. While the remnant black smoke slowly turned into a fierce tornado.
The Joker presumed that Philip is dead. As a result it tried to leave. But,
"Hold it right there you fool! I ain't going down that easily!"
Light seep through the tornado. After several seconds, a giant yellow orb appeared and it made the tornado vanish.
Calm down Philip and stop holding back. His power is a real deal you dolt.
"I'm not holding bac---"
*Boom!
Joker launched an all out deadly attack to Philip. Multiple cards slammed him.
PHLIP!!!!
The enemy pointed his palms towards. A giant magic circle with a face of a joker appeared in front of the enemy. It started to charge power.
"JOKER ULTIMATE"
PHILIP! PHILIP! GET A HOLD OF YOURSELF! HE'S PLANNING TO LAUNCH AN ULTIMATE!!!!!!!
"Damn it! Why is this happening?! How is he so strong!"
The sky started to turn into black. The wind became stronger and the animals in the mountain are desperately running away from it.
Philip remained shocked. His injuries made him unable to move.
After a little while, the joker's ultimate became ripe. He prepared himself for launching it.
"DEST--"
*Boom!
A giant arrow struck the Joker and it propelled him away. Multiple small arrows came after. It immobilize him and his ultimate has been cancelled.
"What the?!"
And out of nowhere, a giant toasted kraken collide into the Joker. They both crashed into the ground. "KIDS THIS DAYS ARE SO RUTHLESS!!!!!!"it shouted furiously.
"Is that the voice of Jerry? The stubborn pirate?"
Yeah. Seems like Mia and Audely let loose and became savage. Hahahaha! Looks like he's got a beaten out of those kids!!
*Boom!
A three headed flame dragon abruptly struck both the kraken and the joker. It caused a huge explosion.
⚫⚫⚫
Philip summoned a white staff with a blue orb and wing like stuffs stationed in it. He looked at Audely and Mia. "You take care of that gramps! I'll handle this man!"
"Roger!" shouted Mia.
Jerry threw a loud guffaw. "HAHAHAHA!! THINK YOU CAN DEFEAT ME?! CONTINUE TO DREAM BRATS!!!!"then he ran towards a plain outside the library while laughing like an idiot.
Both Audely and Mia followed him.
After a while she glared at Jerry and made herself envelope with Flares flame. "This old man really pisses me off" she croaked.
Audely looked at Mia. "Calm down Calm down Calm down..." he requested.
Mia stared at him. "How can I calm down with an arrogant like that in front of me?!"
Audely sighed. "Don't let your personal emotions interfere in battle."
"Oh really?"
"Yeah...Anyway, let's just focus on defeating him" said Audely.
"If you say so..." said Mia.
Audely summoned his bow."I'll attack first" he said in a fired up manner.
Mia gave him a thumbs up. "Okay. I'll charge Cerberus rage in the meantime. Step back once I'm ready to shoot."
Audely smiled. "Roger!"
"ARE YOU READY KID?!"
"You'll fighting me first old man!" shouted Audely while charging an attack.
Jerry punched his right fist to his left palm."BRING IT ON BOY!!!" he shouted.
Audely flew up. "Here I come!!!" He shot Jerry with multiple arrows but it was blocked by his water barrier.
Jerry unsheathe his sword. "Is that all you've got!" He swing it in the air and it released multiple C shape water blasts.
Audely swiftly dodge all of it. "Not bad!" he shouted.
Jerry baffled. "How the hell did you dodge that in the mid air?! Are you flying?!"
"Well...this isn't flying actually. To be precise, it's a gravity manipulation magic" said Audely.
Jerry threw a guffaw. "HAHAHAHA! Oh well. Not like---"
"CERBERUS RAGE!"
*BOOM!
"Audely follow it with your multiple Pierce!"shouted Mia.
Audely saluted her. "Sir yes sir!"
"Multiple Pierce!"
He aimed and shot his arrow in the sky and it exploded. From that, multiple arrow flooded into Jerry.
*Boom!
Black smoke envelope him.
Mia jumped in joy and made a victory pose while raising her right hand. "Yay! We did it!"
Audely went near Mia when...
"WAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!LIKE THAT FRAIL ATTACK CAN EVEN BRUISE ME!!!!"
Water vapors started to become visible and gradually build up into water droplets. Little by little, they started to assemble where Jerry is located. After a little while, a water vortex suddenly appeared and it formed a gigantic blue kraken.
"HAHAHAHA! BEHOLD MY ULTIMATE POWER!!!!"
Both Audely and Mia became stunned simultaneously for a moment because of amusement.
Mia went in front of Audely, held his shoulders and shook it. "It's a kraken! A real kraken! This is so awesome!!!!" she said delightfully.
Audely took off her hand. He stoop his head, held his forehead with his right hand and closed his eyes. "At this rate, we need to summon our zords. With our indomitable bond, we'll surely be able to form an ultimate weapon." He looked up the sky and raise his hands. "A MEGAZORD!!!!"
Mia stared at him.

"You really are a strange guy aren't you?"
Jerry shouted. "HEY! HOW LONG ARE YOU GONNA KEEP ME WAITING?! SUMMON YOUR MEGAZORD THINGY ALREADY!"
Mia glared at it. "Shut up and get lost..."
"Yes" said Jerry frightened while turning back to his normal form. "Bye then..." He spaced out for a little while when...
"WRONG!!!! THIS IS WRONG!!!! STOP SCREWING AROUND YOU VEXATIOUS BRATS!!!"he shouted furiously while turning himself into a kraken with the same process like earlier.
Mia sighed. "Audely!"
"What?!"
"You want a punch in your face?"asked Mia while clutching her right fist.
Audely bowed his body down. "Sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry!! I'll stop fooling around. I'll never do it again!" said Audely pathetically.
"I hope so. Anyway stand up already. We had an enemy that must be defeated. Get ready."
"Yes."
Both dashed towards in great speed. Jerry tried to slam them with his slimy tentacles but Audely and Mia swiftly dodge it.
Mia smirked. "Is that all?"
"YOU LITTLE!!!!" shouted Jerry furiously.
"Let's try a pincer attack" suggested Audely.
"Sounds good to me" said Mia.
Audely went at Jerry's left side,
"MULTIPLE..."
While Mia on the right.
"CERBERUS..."
"LIKE HELL I WILL LET YOU!" shouted Jerry while wrapping his tentacle around him.
"...PIERCE!"
"...RAGE!"
*BOOM!
Black smokes covered a large area.
"Did we get him?" Asked Mia.
"I don't think----"
Jerry swing his tentacles to wipe away the smoke. He became visible and seems to be unhurt. "HAHAHAHA! NICE TRY!"his damaged tentacles are regenerating itself.
"Tsk. Just how tough is he?" griped Mia.
"I have an idea. Will you listen to it?"asked Audely.
"Okay. Let's give it a try" replied Mia.
He whispered something to her.
"Well there's no harm on trying" said Mia while smiling. "Let's go!"
Audely jumped and charged his bow.
"Colossal..."
"ANOTHER POINTLESS ATTACK AGAIN HUH?"
"...PIERCE!"
*BOOM!!!!!!!!
A gigantic white arrow struck Jerry. A very huge explosion occurred. Black smoke enveloped a very large area. Audely cleared it by firing arrows simultaneously. It revealed that Jerry's body is torn into pieces but still regenerating back to it's original form.
"Tsk. I knew it. His regeneration is not a passive skill. He's casting a nonverbal type magic"said Audely to himself. "Do it Mia!"he shouted.
"Right! Eat this gramps! I'll make a squid barbecue out of ya!!!" shouted Mia while charging a powerful attack.
"Flame burst!!"
Mia launched a gigantic flamethrower and it enveloped Jerry as it gradually turned into a fire vortex.
"HOT!!!!"shouted Jerry
Audely fell into the ground. He aimed his arrow upward while charging it and casting a spell,
Oh tree of life
I beseech thee
Respond to my summon
Come forth!
Audely shot a green arrow at the top of the kraken and a green huge magic circle appeared.
"FRENZY VINES!"
Green vines emitting green aura came out from the magic circle and wrapped Jerry's body whole.
Audely smirked.
"HUH? WHAT IS THIS? I FEEL LIKE MY MANA IS BEING DRAINED!" shouted Jerry. "DAMN YOU KID!!!!!!!"
Jerry attempted to freed himself but he failed. His regeneration stopped. Not too long, his blue body became pale.
"T-THE H-HELL! C-CURSE Y-YOU B-BRATS!" he stuttered. "H-HOW D-DID T-THIS H-HAPPENED?!"
"Idiot. Mana draining spells and heat pressure are very effective for weakening you. If we decided to attack all out once again, you'll be a goner for sure" said Mia while grinning.
"Hey! That's my strategy! I'm the one who's supposed to be explaining that!" shouted Audely furiously.
"Shut up---"
The surrounding became overwhelmed by a sudden fearful pressure.
Mia and Audely simultaneously brisk and tried to sense from where it's coming.
"Did you feel that Mia?"
"Yeah. Philip's in danger."
Audely charged his bow with power and aimed it where Philip's enemy is located.
"COLOSSAL PIERCE!"
*Boom!
From afar, it struck the Joker.
"Take this too!"
"MULTIPLE PIERCE!"
*Boom!
"Audely! Use your vines to throw this giant squid into his ally!" shouted Mia.
"Roger!"Audely gave her a salute. "RISE!" he shouted while pointing his palms in the vines.
The vines became longer. It swung the kraken in circular motion.
"T-this i-is s-so d-dizzy...I-it's m-making m-me w-wnna p-puke..."jerry stuttered.
"Launch him already before he spits out black ink!" shouted Mia.
"Right!"said Audely then he snapped his fingers.
The vines tossed Jerry. It collide with the joker and they crashed into the ground.
"My turn!" shouted Mia.
"Cerberus Rage!"
*Boom!
Audely and Mia flew towards Philip in great speed.
"Philip, are you okay?!"asked Mia worriedly.
Philip looked away and seems so down. "Yeah.." he said in a very soft voice.
"They're escaping!" shouted Audely.
"Philip what should we do?"asked Mia to Philip.
"Whatever. Let them be" replied Philip in a sad manner.
"What are you saying?!!"shouted Aquila furiously.
Philip never responded. He continued to gaze on the ground without any expression while slouching.
"ARGH! I'LL REMEMBER THIS PHILIP!" shouted Jerry while returning to his normal form.
"Multiple Pierce!"
*Boom
The Joker blocked it with a black mist.
"Whew, thanks Charles" said Jerry.
Philip gape. "Charles?!"
A giant flying pirate ship appeared from a bunch of thick and black clouds in the sky summoned by the joker. He carried jerry at his back and fly into the ship.
Philip stood up and attempted to reach them."Charles don't go! Please! Don't leave me once again!"he said while wiping his tears with his right arm.
Aquila whispered something on Audely.
Philip flew upward to follow the ship. "Charles! Wait!"he sobbed.
Audely went near Philip and punch his stomach. He fell unconscious.
Black clouds enveloped the flying pirate ship. After a little while, it vaporize together with the ship.
