Zane could hear Falk curse under his breath as Tywin went on.
"This...Revenant, as you have taken to calling her. Is nothing more than a bug that needs to be crushed under your damned heels. The revenant has acted so predictably you should ha e caught onto the fact that every valuable shipment you had needed to be guarded MUCH. MORE!"
Then, a man suddenly spoke out.
"S-sir! The bomb was protected with tanks and soldiers! We did everything we could-"
Then, Tywin raised his hand. A lightning bolt shot from his palm which hit the man who spoke out. Then man quickly turned to a pile of ash...
There was a murmur around the event but Tywin continued on.
"Maybe if you weren't such a Naive -blam!- you would have lived, and saved the god damn shipments!" Tywin insulted again.

He looked upon the duel that continued to go on and Falk cut himself off as he was distracted. Anne's twilight had faded away, which meant Tywin had the upper hand. Anne swung towards the man's ribs, but he parried the blow with his rapier. He swung the massive blade down on her then but Anne suddenly twirled around and kicked his wrist before the blade could connect. He dropped the Infinite blade and it fell to the ground as Anne then thrusted towards him with Twilights Hope. Then, Tywin made his move. As she lunged forward, Tywin moved to his right and dodged the thrust. With his now open hand he grabbed Anne's wrist and pulled her close. Then, with his Rapier in his right hand... He thrusted it through Anne's stomach. [spoiler]https://youtube.com/watch?v=rOWxjBrrPvY[/spoiler] Anne looked in shock as the blow made its way through her stomach and out her back. Tywin grabbed her by the throat and pushed her off his blade and she fell to the ground, limp. It seemed that the entire battle had stopped at this moment. All eyes were on Tywin as he flicked the blood from Anne off his blade. Then, Falk sprinted towards him.
-
Zane's eyes went wide with shock as the RPG fell to the ground, and he erupted with rage shortly afterward. He went into his neutral augment and leapt into the crowd of soldiers, tearing them apart with his anger.
-
Zane tore into them but he felt the shell of the tank strike his back and he was sent soaring over the entire army. He felt his back [i]crack![/i] as he landed on the ground. Immediately the army surrounded him, guns pointed down on his at his disadvantaged position. Behind him, however, he was closer to Tywin. Falk sprinted at Tywin, blazing him with his assault rifle. Tywin raised his ward and leapt back in defence, which protected himself. The emperor was closer to the massive helicopter now. He stared down Falk as the bullets caught by his ward fell to the ground. But Falk, he fell to his knees. He looked down on his daughter and lifted her back up into his arms as her head looked at the sky... Then, she turned her head to her father. "D-dad..." she said weakly. She could barely catch her breath. "A-Anne. Oh god no...no you'll be okay, alright? You'll be fine!" Falk demanded. Tywin stood watching the events unfold as Zane was held to the ground by probably a dozen soldiers. [spoiler]Certain hits prohibited.[/spoiler]
-
Zane punched the ground in anger, then formed a smoke bomb in his hand and threw it at the ground, disappearing into it and switching into his assassin form. "You'll all die...."
-
"Just fu[i]c[/i]king stop, man!" One of the men said as Zane felt the barrel of a gun to the back of his neck even through the smoke. Zane saw that all the men had their weapons raised on Zane, but they were looking at the scene folding in front of them. "Dad...its...." Anne tried to make out. "J-Just save your breath. Please just...just rest it'll be fine okay? It's gunna be okay!" Falk yelled again almost in anger. Tears began to stream down Anne's face as she raised her hand to her father. He gripped her hand tightly as he looked down on her.
-
He glared at Tywin as he lowered his dagger, his anger and hatred growing by the second. "Falk...."
-
"D-dad I'm...I'm sorry I...." "Anne. You'll be fine! Seriously it's gunna be okay!" Falk told her optimistically. "Dad...stop...." Anne then said. Falk continued to look at her, tears streaming down his face now as he sobbed with his words. "Anne...don't...don't do this Anne. Honey come on you can...you can fight this. You always fought so hard Anne you just have to push." "Dad...I'm...I'm just tired. So...tired." "Stop it, Anne! It's going to be okay!" Anne's body became soaked red with blood as red made its way into the snow around Falk and his daughter. "Y-you hand on. You hang on and you can...you can..." "Dad." Anne made out barely. "I...I love..." Then...Anne went quiet. Her body became limp as her eyes stared blankly at Falk. His eyes went wide as he looked down at her in shock. "No...oh god no...no please god don't do this. Don't do this...DON'T DO THIS!!!" He screamed as he broke down. Then...Anne's body began to dissolve. Her legs turned to ash, as did her clothes as she began to fade away. Twilight gave off he body as it disappeared in Falk's arms and her body became that of her brothers. Anne...was gone. Falk looked down at his ash covered hands as he breathed heavily in and out. Shock, anger, sadness all of it covered his face as he closed his eyes tightly to block out the world around him.
-
Zane looked away, he couldn't deal with another loss. First Xion, then Alex and now Anne? He'd lost all of them, each one weighing more on his soul. "Bastards....All of you....."
-
After a moment of only the wind blowing and the snow picking up and falling upon Zane's shoulders, Tywin spoke. "You should have been ashamed for training a girl so [i]weak[/i]." He told Falk coldly. "She hardly had the upper hand even with her disgusting excuse for magic. I'm going to assume you are equally as pathetic." He continued to say as he walked closer to Falk. But, Falk remained silent.
-
His anger grew, and began to radiate off of him as he glared at Tywin. "......"
-
Then, Tywin picked up Anne's Magnus which must have fallen during their duel. He spun in around in his hand and took aim at Falk as he continued his slow approach. "Oh, don't give me that treatment." Tywin told Falk as the man continued to have his eyes closed. "She fought, she died. She lost. Similar to what's about to happen to you. You were outsmarted, outmatched." Tywin then pulled the hammer back on the pistol. "And now, you will die." Then, a shot rang out across the airstrip... And Tywin recoiled as the Magnus was shot from his hand. "What the bloody hell is-!?" One of the men, from the army, had his weapon raised on Tywin. The others joined in as well and took aim. "That's for The F.D, Dick!" The shooter said. Then, all guns were off Zane. "Why you treasonous cunts! I'll have you all-" Then, Falk acted. He picked up twilights hope from beside him and swung it up in a fast paced ark. Blood fell across the blade as Tywin's right hand fell from its wrist. He writhed back in pain and cursed. "You fu[i]c[/i]king bastards! ALL OF YOU!" He yelled as he raised a ward with his left hand. The army began to fire away at Tywin as the man made his way towards the cargo chopper. He expanded his ward significantly so as soon as he walked the short distance his helicopter was covered as well. Bullets rang into the man's magic but none penetrated his force as he continued to hold everything off.
-
Zane leapt at Tywin and picked up Alex's blade, hammering it against the ward. "I am going to murder the shit out of you!"
-
[spoiler]I think that's Zane's one liner now[/spoiler] The blade clashed against the ward, and as it did Zane was propelled backwards and onto the pavement... But...the Infinite blade flowed with some form of blue energy now. While the ward emitted some form of white flame as Zane had made contact with it. Tywin grinned form behind his defence. "Try it, boy!" Tywin challenged. Falk had stepped up from where he knelt down and flicked the blood off Twilights Hope as he held it with two hands.
-
[spoiler]Oh yeah, for sure[/spoiler] He spun the Infinite blade as he hopped up and slowly approached Tywin, and when he reached him he raised the blade high into the air. "Eat shit and die." He brought the heavy blade down in a cleaving arc.
-
The blade rebounded off the ward once more and the magical barrier seemed to Ignite more with the white flames. Zane felt like apart of him was missing soon after he swung and clashed with the barrier.
-
He grew with anger and continued to hammer down on the ward. "Why won't you DIE!!!"
-
Tywin stepped up into the helicopter at that moment, and the copter began to take to the air. The ward defended the helicopter as well as Tywin still as everything continued to strike at him. The Infinite blade was significantly blue and gave off powerful energy while Zane felt like he was being sapped and tired.
-
His strikes slowed and eventually he fell to the ground, leaning on the blade for support. "God damn you...."
-
The helicopter was in the skies now, and by this time the army stopped firing. Suddenly, the ward began to collapse and grow smaller and smaller until Zane saw that it fit into the palm of Tywin's hand. From the long distance, he saw a smile grow on the man's face. "Good bye." Zane could make out from Tywin as suddenly a massive white beam fired from Tywin's hand and crashed into the ground. The ground rose from its surface and a massive explosion of white light engulfed Zane's body as his vision became white.... And then, black. [spoiler]End of chapter 25[/spoiler]
