The mages held growing worries seeing the most powerful woman among them crashing to the ground. They rushed over to her side on the sand.
"Headmaster, are you alright? That was quite a fall!"
“Oh no! We need to get you some immediate medical attention, Headmaster Aimathema!"
Headmaster Aimathema, still recovering from the shock of their fall, managed to regain her composure. She waved off their concerns with a frustrated gesture.
"I'll be fine. We need to deal with Kintovar and her creations. That's our top priority!"
Kintovar spoke hastily while adressing Becky and Sybil. "Listen, the Headmaster's psychic powers are temporarily disrupted, but those jammers won't last forever. This is our chance to finally put an end to this."
Becky nodded while raising one fist clenching her hammer tight. "Yeah. Let’s kick her ass permanently!"
Sybil nodded in agreement. "We've come this far…."
Risebelle's admiration for Kintovar's abilities was evident as she spoke to Roselle. "I didn't realize Kintovar could fight so effectively with technology. It's incredible how skilled she is with her inventions. It makes me wonder about myself. I was created by Kintovar, but with what she's displayed so far, she's just as strong as her creations, if not stronger."
Roselle nodded in agreement. "Dr.Kintovar is amazing, Risebelle! She's not just our creator; she's a powerful person too!"
Kintovar turned her attention to Roselle and Risebelle, her concern for their well-being evident in her eyes. She quickly scanned their systems, checking on their lifeforces and then spoke the results out loud:
"Roselle lifeforce: 5%
Risebelle lifeforce: 15%
Runebelle lifeforce: N/A (Runebelle is offline for 24 hours)... hmm..."
Risebelle, curious, questioned, “Wait Kintovar, how did you know that without being in the lab? You're not there to check our systems."
Kintovar gave a slight smile and pointed to her sunglasses. "Ah, these sunglasses serve more than just a fashionable purpose. They're equipped with special sensors that allow me to monitor your vital signs and lifeforces from a distance. It's one of the many ways I keep an eye on all of you and make sure you're safe."
Risebelle blinked in surprise, “That’s pretty cool. You always think of everything, don't you? "
Kintovar grinned. "I try my best to take care of my creations. Now, let's focus on the task at hand. The hag and her mages won't stay down for long. We need to be ready for the final showdown."
Kintovar shared her plan with Roselle and Risebelle,
"Listen carefully. I've been working on a secret technology called the Mystic Resonator. It will be the key to boosting your lifeforce for this final battle."
She retrieved the Mystic Resonator from her bag, revealing a small, intricate device that seemed to pulse with mystical energy. "This device can temporarily tap into the magical powers of the forest and infuse you with additional lifeforce, effectively adding 50% to your current levels. However, it's important to note that this mystical energy must be returned to the Magic Extractor I have. It will only be active for 15 minutes."
Roselle and Risebelle exchanged glances. Risebelle spoke up, "So, Kintovar, this could give us the strength we need to defeat the Headmaster and her mages?"
Kintovar nodded, her sunglasses reflecting their eager faces. "Exactly. We're in the final stretch of this battle and I want to make sure you have every advantage. Let’s use this wisely and show them the true power of technology and magic combined."
Kintovar activated the Mystic Resonator and a surge of mystical energy enveloped Roselle and Risebelle. It replenished their lifeforces and prepared them for the ultimate confrontation.

Kintovar checked their status and nodded in satisfaction. "You both are looking stronger than ever. Remember, this boost won't last forever, so let's make the most of it. Our objective is clear: eliminate the Headmaster and her mages and secure the Mystical Forest. It’s time for you two to rejoin the fight!"
Risebelle and Roselle nodded in unison, their determination matching Kintovar's.
The ground trembled as the Headmaster's psychic aura extended, creating a visible disturbance in the surrounding area. Her fury was intensified as she pushed herself to her limits. A lone mage who had tried to assist her was now repelled by her immense power. She landed some distance away.
The Headmaster's voice, filled with anger and frustration, shook through the area. "Get your hands off me! I'll deal with this myself!"
She took a step forward, her aura intensifying, causing the ground to shake even more. The remaining mages watched in awe and fear.
The Headmaster's aura intensified, its effects became even more pronounced. Kintovar found herself moving in slow motion, her every action hampered by the oppressive psychic energy. It was a struggle to maintain her mobility and keep herself steady.
Risebelle and Roselle, although affected by the aura kept at it. They could feel the Headmaster's power, but they focused on preparing their cannons.
With her aura pulsating intensely, the Headmaster focused her magical energy on a specific spot on the ground. The earth beneath began to tremble as her powers surged to an extreme level.
"This is the end for you all…Witness the might! Extreme Magic: Psychic Cataclysm!"
The ground trembled and the sky darkened as the Headmaster's Psychic Cataclysm unfolded with terrifying force. The psychic tendrils, like monstrous serpents, snaked their way towards Kintovar, Becky, Sybil, Roselle and Risebelle. The sheer power of the attack threatened to engulf them, warping the environment and distorting reality.
Kintovar, with her technology-infused strength, struggled to maintain her footing against the overwhelming force. Her sunglasses adjusted themselves as she analyzed the situation.
As the psychic tendrils drew closer, Kintovar activated her Psychic Jamming Pods, hoping to disrupt the Headmaster's control over the cataclysmic forces. It was a race against time, a battle of wills and technology against raw magical power.
Roselle and Risebelle unleashed the power of their magical cannons, firing towards the approaching psychic tendrils, but their attacks seemed to have no effect. The tendrils remained relentless and undeterred.
Kintovar, witnessing the ineffectiveness of their efforts, couldn't help but feel a growing sense of concern and frustration. She activated her Psychic Jamming Pods, hoping to disrupt the Headmaster's control over the cataclysmic forces, but they proved equally ineffective.
"No effect?" Kintovar pondered inwardly, her mind racing as she considered their options. It was becoming clear that the Headmaster's extreme magic was an overwhelming force and they needed a new plan to counter it.
“Acid Rain!”
Risebelle called upon her Acid Rain ability. A dark rain cloud began to form in the sky above. The cloud released a corrosive rain that descended toward the battlefield, its acidic nature ready to wreak havoc on any target within its reach.
However, the Headmaster, with her exceptional psychic control, quickly countered Risebelle's attack. The psychic tendrils that had been snaking toward Kintovar, Becky, Sybil and Roselle suddenly shifted their focus, converging on Risebelle. With remarkable precision, the tendrils wrapped themselves around Risebelle, effectively immobilizing her and preventing her from fully unleashing her Acid Rain.
Sybil and Becky sprang into action. They recognized the situation and knew they had to act quickly to protect their comrade.
Sybil with her agility and swift swordsmanship dashed towards the approaching tendrils. She swung her sword with precision, aiming to sever the psychic connections and free Risebelle. Becky, utilizing her earth magic conjured a sturdy wall of stone to intercept the tendrils' path, creating a barrier between them and Risebelle.
Their combined efforts momentarily halted the tendrils' advance, giving Risebelle a brief respite from their psychic grip; however, the Headmaster's control was unrelenting and the tendrils continued to exert pressure.
Sybil glanced at Becky. "We need to break these tendrils completely or Risebelle won't be able to use her technique."
Becky nodded, her earth magic surging as she reinforced their defense. "I'm with you, Sybil. Let's do this!"
The relentless psychic tendrils continued to multiply and extend, Becky shouted out in disbelief,
"You've gotta be kidding me!"
Unfortunately for her, they all seemed to chase after Becky as if they were live hungry beasts. They did not let her get away. The additional tendrils ensnared her in their psychic grip.
Becky struggled against the unseen forces that held her, her earth magic flickering around her in a futile attempt to break free. Meanwhile, Sybil, having narrowly avoided the additional tendrils, assessed the situation with urgency.
"Damn it! I got caught! Sybil!”
Sybil nodded, her eyes focused on the tendrils that held Becky.
“Don’t worry, I’ll get you out of there Beck--!”
"Mind Destruction."
In an instant, the psychic tendrils around Becky surged with overwhelming energy crushing her mind and causing the tendrils to explode with devastating force. Becky's body went limp as she plummeted to the ground. Her life force draining away rapidly. Her mind was shattered, leaving her in a state of near-death, beyond any immediate recovery.
“B-BECKYYYY!!!!!”
Sybil's anguished scream pierced the air as she witnessed her friend's devastating fate.
Kintovar's heart raced. She took action and approached the fallen Becky with her senses on high alert to avoid the deadly psychic tendrils that still writhed around the area. She expertly maneuvered through the chaotic battlefield doing her best to evade the malevolent tendrils that threatened to ensnare her.
Kintovar shouted to her creations, "Roselle! Risebelle! Avoid those tendrils at all costs! We can't let the Headmaster's power consume us too!"
The Headmaster's evil grin widened as she shifted her focus away from Kintovar and toward the unconscious Runebelle. Her psychic tendrils which had been a constant threat now surged in that direction like a malevolent tide.
"How unfortunate for you, Kintovar. One fallen on the battlefield and another on the brink. What will you do now, when your creations are in my grasp and your technology stands powerless against my might?!"
Roselle and Risebelle, realizing the danger their youngest sister faced hurriedly changed course. They rushed toward Runebelle's unconscious body desperate to protect her from the Headmaster's clutches.
Risebelle called upon her water affinity. Instead of directing it offensively, she had a different plan in mind. As she conjured a powerful whirlwind of water and magic, it swirled around her and her sisters, forming a protective barrier against the encroaching psychic tendrils.
"Aqua Whirlwind Barrier!" Risebelle declared,
The barrier of swirling water and magic began to form creating a shield that she hoped would ward off the Headmaster's psychic attacks and keep Runebelle safe from harm.
Kintovar's movements were a blur of agility and precision. She deftly navigated the chaotic battlefield. With the Aqua Whirlwind Barrier providing cover and protection, she closed the distance between herself and the Headmaster with remarkable speed.
She flipped over a stray tendril, slid under another, ducked to avoid a third and twirled gracefully to evade a fourth. Her every move was calculated, each step taking her closer to her target.
Finally, with the small gun aimed squarely at the Headmaster's face, Kintovar delivered her taunt, "Check."
The Headmaster had her psychic powers momentarily diverted by the Aqua Whirlwind Barrier. She had little time to react as the gun hovered inches from her, but she was smirking.
"Don't you mean checkmate?"
With her words, she revealed a hidden trap beneath her feet and the psychic tendrils emerged, snaking out with surprising speed and precision. They wrapped around Kintovar, immobilizing her and rendering her small gun useless.
The Headmaster continued, her tone mocking, "You foolish scientist. You just couldn’t resist the danger zone. Predictable. This battlefield is my domain and every move you make is within my control. It's not just about power; it's about control. The game is over, Kintovar."
