Chapter 6:

Zigorot The Tainted Jester

"Z-Zigorot?!" Rebecca cried as she backed away behind Inuko.

Inuko clenched his fists as his fur moved like fire standing before the gruesome monster,

"Zennie! What have you done with your sister?!" Inuko yelled.

Zen looked at Inuko and began to giggle a cruel laughter,

"Oh, I don't know. Why don't you ask ZIGOROT!" she said.

Zigorot lifted up his hand as demonic toys sprewed forth from the darkness. The first wave pushed towards Inuko with blades held high, their faces smiled in glee. Inuko jumped back as his fists flew in the air hitting the demonic toys backwards, their weapons striking the walls behind them. Rebecca lifted up her staff as she struck the ground, waves of light rushed towards Zigorot's puppet strings as each string was severed. The toys around her fell one by one to the ground. Zennie watched as she stood up and began to throw a temper tantrum.

"Hey no fair, Zigorot get rid of that bitch!" she yelled.

Zigorot's head began to twist on his shoulders as it quickly stopped before Rebecca, Zigorot's mouth then dropped opened, waves of string shot forth as it impacted her shield. Rebecca began to be pushed back as the strings quickly wrapped tightly around her shield. Inuko turned around and quickly rushed towards her as flames engulfed his claws,

"Release her now!" he yelled as his claws burned straight thru the strings.

Rebecca raised her hand within the shield as it shattered around her,

"Thank you Inuko." she said as her grip on her staff tightened.

Blue aura rushed outwards from her staff as the ice pillars behind her shattered, Rebecca extended her hand into the air while the shattered ice shards morphed into spears above her.

"Ical Prism!" she yelled as she clenched her fist.

The spears rushed towards Zigorot, Zennie lifted her hand into the air as black flames encased her and her toy. Each spear turned into steam as she grinned. Rebecca smiled and yelled,

"Zi Icol!"

The mist filling the room thickened, Zennie looked down at her hands as her flesh became stiff and hard to move. She screamed as the ice was swallowing them whole, Zigorot opened his mask as a decaying eye opened completely.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" screeching echoed in the room.

Rebecca and Inuko fell to the floor covering their ears as the mencing scream filled their minds with painful memories and illusions. The ice shattered around Zigorot, while Zennie stood up on Zigorot's shoulder as she reached into Zigorot's flesh and pulled out a mirror from it's back.

Meanwhile, Raven searched for a way back down to help his friends; he stepped back on Anubis' glyph raising his hand into the air. The beam of light shot forth from the glyph as Raven's body slowly rose into the air.

"Si..s..ter..." a weak sad voice called out to Raven.

The beam of light quickly faded into a ball before Raven as it exploded with great force; the blast shot Raven across the ruin into the large iron door. The Tower doors began to move and bend, the images on the door screamed out to Raven as their hands grabbed his cloak. His eyes sprung opened as he saw projections of children crying out for Raven as they were being consumed by the door. Raven's eyes began to glow as he entered a trance, he slowly stood up as his hood fell gently down, his hair twisted in the air as he placed his hands on the doors. The screams stopped as music filled the air,

"Come, yes come my child. Come to the garden of dreams..." Set's voice called out.

As Raven lifted up his hand to the door, the orbs in his backpack suddenly began to activate. Raven quickly broke out his trance as the images of the children quickly vanished. The doors slowly began to open before Raven as his eyes opened in awe.

Back in the temple, Zennie grinned as she faced the mirror towards Inuko as eyes quickly surrounded them. Runes appeared in the eyes, as black miasma sprewed forth poisoning the air around them. Images from the past consumed them as their minds began to betray their sight. Rebecca tried with her might to stand up as her vision faded in and out. Suddenly Sarah appeared before her, her clothes torn and her flesh melting away.

"R-Rebe...ccca...." it cried.

Rebecca fell to the floor as she vomited at the sight of her sister, Sarah walked closer to her as fire engulfed her.

"Ahhhhhh!" she cried out.

The black miasma surrounded them as Inuko and Rebecca coughed for air; Inuko raised his head as his eyes quickly widened. Iskar stood before him, his armor was corrioded away, his flesh was scorched by the blast. Iskar's dark glare seemed to pierce the very walls Inuko had placed in his heart.

"Y-you...m-mutt...w-why didn't...y-you...pro..te..ct..me...like..you..pr..om..ised..." it struggled to say.

Tears rushed to Inuko's eyes as the painful regret consumed him, as he looked up a black feather slowly fell to the ground. The black miasma began to choke them as the light from their eyes was slowing being consumed by the darkness.

"Don't give up!" a mysterious voice cried out.

Suddenly, each eye begins to freak out as each eye explodes, blood and flesh splatter all over the walls and floor. Inuko quickly snaps out of it as he rushes towards Zigorot and strikes him with full force.

"TAKE THIS YOU FUCKING BASTARD!!" he yelled.

Zigorot came crushing into the wall behind him upon the impact from Inuko's fist. Zennie slammed into an ice pillar as she dropped to the floor with a thud. Zennie stood up while she wipe the blood from her lip.

"AHHHHH! You fucking bastard! I'll KILL YOU!" she cried out loud.

Rebecca awokened to see Inuko standing before her as he kneeled on the ground, his body was weak and he began to breath hard. Zennie lifted up her mirror has it began to reflect Inuko's image as it black chains sprewed forth heading towards him. Rebecca stepped back as she reached into her pocket and grabbed hold of a small orb.

"Take this! Ren Shen!" Rebecca yelled as she quickly threw the small orb towards her attack.

The orb began to spark as streams of white light shot from all sides of the orb as its blinding lights burst in radiance before them. Zennie fell to the floor as she dropped her mirror covering her eyes in pain, the black chains shattered before the light fading away instantly. Rebecca grinned as she lift her staff in the air towards Zennie,

"Reki!" she shouted as lightening formed around the staff.

Suddenly, bolts of lightening streamed out as they struck Zennie as she fell to the floor besided her mirror. Electricity formed around her body as she struggled to move closer to her mirror. Meanwhile, Zigorot looked at Inuko as blood sprewed from its mouth. Inuko fell to his knee as he was holding his ribs, both stared at one another as their injuries prevented them from moving. Pieces of Zigorot's mask began to fall apart as Inuko began to cough up blood.

"I-I can't last much longer..." he thought to himself.

Suddenly, Zigorot's chest began to move as if it was draining something from the inside of its chest. Zigorot leaned back as its head began to spin, his body began to repair itself as it began to grin.

"Shit..." Inuko said.

High in the Tower, Raven stood before a large room as a great of Anubis extended his hands over an open black flame in the center of the room. Painting of the ancient past were on the walls as a large crystal stood high above in the center of the ceiling. Raven walked closer to the flame as he heard laughter around him. A dark figure stood before him as was laughing uncontrollably.

"Seth..." he said as Raven lifted up his hands in an attack position.

Seth looked at the new Raven as he floated to the ground,

"Heh heh heh, fighting fist to fist? Huh Raven?" Seth replied as he uncrossed his arms as he also entered into a fighting stance as he stared into Raven's eyes.

Raven tensed up as the black flames danced its bewitching ways behind Seth,

"What have you done to the Tower?!" he shouted at him as anger filled his eyes.

Seth chuckled as an image of Zigorot and Zennie fighting Inuko and Rebecca appeared in the center of the room above the black flames.

"Your sisters have been very useful, first killing the creatures of this land then imprisoning the guardian of this temple as a puppet. All because I lit this tower in the name of my Lord, Set." he said grinning.

Raven dashed towards him as he struck Seth in the face as he threw him back from the impact.

"Re-Release them now!" he shouted.

Seth quickly stopped himself as he brushed the blood from his mouth,

"Now you die!" he yelled as he dashed towards Raven.

Raven quickly dodge Seth's attacks at it came from his left and right, Seth suddenly struck Raven as he kicked him from the side; Raven brought his arms to his face as Seth struck him with his fist enfused with dark aura. Raven's body was thrown from the impact as he struck a pillar that surrounded the flame, he coughed up blood as his body fell to the floor. Seth suddenly appeared before Raven

as he grabbed him by the throat as he began to choke him.

"Still weak as ever. What happened to the true Raven I know?" he said as his hand grew tighter.

Raven placed his hands over Seth's as he tried to break free.

"I-I won't lose to someone like you!" he struggled to say.

Raven's pendant began to glow white as he opened his eyes. Raven's body began to glow as white aura surrounding him pushing Seth back; his eyes began to glow as he fell to his knees.

"AURA!" he shouted as his body began to tremble.

He fell forward as white angel wings burst from his back, his body began to transform before Seth as he stepped back in fear.

"W-what are you?!" he shouted.

A young angelic maiden stood before Seth as her eyes shined of the her sisters.

"Unholy one, who knows nothing but pain and misery. Leave this land or suffer before the power of Aurora The Angelic One." she spoke as a large bow appeared in her hand.

Seth stepped back farther as the light from her aura burned his eyes. He quickly turned to the black torch as he begged Set for power,

"Master, give me the strength I need to defeat your foe!" he demanded.

Aurora's eyes forcused on him as his body began to mutate and morph into a darksome creature. It's body was composed of dead corpses as black armor fused to him. It grew three faces as they looked at Aurora, she stood before him in disgust as she drew her bow.

"So be it." she said.

Meanwhile, Zennie slowly sat up as she grabbed her mirror as quickly pointed it at Rebecca's second wave Reki. The mirror quickly began to shine as it absorbed Rebecca's attack. Rebecca looked in shock as she lowered her staff.

"I-It can't be..." she said in amazement and wonder.

Suddenly, black bolts of lightening sprung forth from the mirror as it streamed and struck Rebecca. Rebecca screamed out in great pain as she was torn from the impact into the ice pillars behind her. She laid on the floor unconsious as her staff fell to the floor as drove itself into the stone. Inuko looked back as he saw her on the floor,

"Rebecca!" he yelled.

Quickly Zigorot attacked Inuko as streams of puppet hands struck him into the statues behind him. Inuko tried to stand but fell back to the floor,

"M-My body can't move...Please move already." he thought to himself as he struggled to move.

Zennie stood up as she began to laugh,

"My My that stupid bitch and that fucking mutt are now useless. How boring to break them soo easily?" she said as she teleported infront of both of them she lifted her mirror into the air as it began to gather its final attack.

"Master Seth wish you dead so I guess this attack will do. Ultomos!" she yelled.

Black mist poured out from the mirror as black and purple flames surrounded her body, pure unholy energy shot from the mirror as it drew closer and closer to Inuko and Rebecca.

"Come on move please move." Inuko shouted as he tried to reach out to Rebecca.

As Inuko shut him eyes, the darksome blast were upon them as it broke into waves. Inuko opened his eyes as Anubis stood before him shielding them both. The unholy beam separated as streams of the waves struck the walls and ceiling destroying everything it touched.

"W-Who are you?" the half beaten Inuko struggled to say as he began to cough up more blood.

Anubis looked Inuko and Rebecca as he turned and stared at Zennie and Zigorot.

"A friend..." he said.

Back in the Tower, Aurora flew to the air as she pulled the bow's string back as white arrows appeared.

"Heaven's Wraft!" she yelled as she released the string.

Hundreds of arrows appeared as they flew past Seth striking him multiple of times. Seth fell back as he struggled to get up. He quickly thrust his hand towards Aurora as she flew to her right to dodge his attack; suddenly thousand of undead hands shot forth from his arm as they rushed towards her. She took off in the air as she dodged between the pillars trying to escape his attack. She came to a halt as her feet landed against the wall, she used to wall to push her to the side as her bow transformed him a sword as she struck at the hands. The undead arms fell to the floor as they burnt to ash from the sword's touch. Seth looked at Aurora as he drew closer to her, his chest burst opened as black tenticles wrapped around her body as it smashed her to her ground. Her sword fell close to her head as it struck into the ground. Seth dragged her body closer and closer to him as he lifted up his hand and slammed it ontop of her. The ground shattered before the impact as the Tower began to quake from its might. As he lifted up his hand, the tenticles lifted her up as it threw her into the pillars as they shattered. Aurora fell to the floor as her broken wings tried to mend, she struggled to stand as she gripped her arm.

"Y-You...you are no creature of this world, if you refuse to release my sisters then I will!"she shouted as she placed her hand over her chest.

"Forgive me Raven. I wish we could have spent a little more time together..." she said.
