Alec, Eric, Julie, and Zach. All of them, fighting Lilitha. She was being overwhelmed but still managed to hold her own. Zach shot lightning at her, and she dodged it gracefully. Eric slammed down his two handed axe causing an earth fissure and she leapt up onto a building. Julia threw her staff at her, and she caught it and threw it back, sending Julie into the ground. Alec was fighting her in close combat, but Lilitha was extremely fast, getting the better of all four capable fighters.
I had an idea. Nobody else was going to die today. "I call upon the water below the earth!" I shouted, crushing a cryo-catalyst in my hands. "Ice Chains!" Chains burst from the ground and attacked to Lilitha, stunning her.
"Everyone! To me!" I shouted, causing the group to travel towards me.
"This is one hell of a plan, but it might work, if we all work together!" I held out both of my weapons together and elemental energy erupted around me as I prepared a spell.
"What's the plan, princess?" Alec asked.
"You got me on your side!" Eric said.
"Alright shortie, I got you."
"I'm with you!"
"Everyone! Give me all your energy! I'll wipe her away in one blast of elemental power!"
"Got it!" They all said in unison.
Now was my chance, as the energy filled me up I felt like the sun. The heat, the power. Lilitha broke free of the chains, and pissed, charged after us. Everyone stood together. Zach and Julie's hands were on my shoulders, and they were holding hands with Alec and Eric. Everyone was working together to fuel my plan.
From the moment I woke up in this world I felt weak. I watched people die. I watched friends die. Stephanie... No. I won't let anybody else die.

"You hear me Lilitha! Take it! This is my love! My pride! And All of my Sorrow!" I shouted as an energy orb of every element appeared in front of me. "You won't kill anybody ever again!"
"We stand together!"
"As one," Zach said smiling.
I shouted, releasing all of the energy at once.
"It doesn't matter how much Mana you have! I'll still defeat you!" She said charging directly into the beam of energy. It exploded outwards sending entire roofs off of their buildings. I struggled, feeling my legs tighten up and my hands felt weak and then. I saw.
A surge of energy came out of nowhere, throwing lilitha back. Incredible. She was taking the full force. I looked around to see where the energy came from. It was... there was...
I couldn't believe my eyes. The ghosts of Jake, Kayden, Tye, and Stephanie were all materialized behind us. Granting us their energy.
"This is the power of the Blighted Ones!" I shouted. "Take it! Take it all!" My voice pierced the sky as Lilitha completely disappeared, turning to dust as the blast of energy completely destroyed her. Everything went white and I fell backwards as the energy released from me was too much for me to handle.
I fell, and as I fell, so did everyone else. We were all breathing heavliy, and I could not feel Lilitha's energy anymore.
"Did, did we win?" Zach asked.
"Yeah," I said. "Yeah I think we won"
"What about Arin and Malphas?" He asked
"Shit," I said, getting up to my feet. "I gotta, go find him." I fell down again, having no more energy to move. My legs shook and my entire body ached as I tried so hard to move. I couldn't let him die, not Arin. He was my guardian, he helped me with so much.
Then the waves of energy hit. I saw the portal open up in the sky and Arin and Malphas came flying through. Their magics were colliding and felt so incredible. They were flying. Flames and Dark Flames.
Arin was hit, and slammed to the ground. Malphas's dark energy started to approach me and my friends. I was scared, Arin was down, and I didn't know what to do.
He landed next to us. The man in full black armor just like Arin. They were different sides of the same coin. He looked at all of us.
"You killed Lilitha... and Trine?" He stammered. Nobody moved. I wouldn't dare respond.
"Erase," He said, holding out his hand. I shut my eyes as magic welled up inside of him.
"No you don't you bastard!" Arin came rushing in, tackling Malphas to the ground. They punched and kicked each other and rolled around very comedically before Arin flew off up into the air orange flames around him. Malphas followed and they began fighting again.
I got up. I didn't know what else to do. I just know that. I needed to help. Everyone else was completely out of energy. All that I could do was slowly walk aimlessly. I had no energy. Nothing left I could use to help except....
Except for the Abyss.
