15 - Three Wizketeers

"Hey! What's the big idea!?"

Reave was guarding himself from multiple blasts of powerful dusk wind.

"Wind! Isn't it supposed to be someone good at heart?" Uncle Karius said as he shielded himself from the blasts of wind.

"Gust Blast!"

The ball struck Reave, blowing him into the sky.

"Wind Cannon!"

A long wind beam struck Reave while he was unable to shield himself, and blew him off, nowhere to be seen."

"Just, Who are you?" Uncle Karius said, as he put on his wizard hat.

"Maelborne the Wind Beholder. I see you've come a long way, Karius comrade. I'll stop you here and now, the bone gem will be mine!"

"Mael!? What have you become?"

Then, another 2 more wizards wearing dark coats with yellow cloud symbols resembling olden chinese art like Maelborne's appeared from the bushes behind.

"Looks like I'll need my trump card."

The 3 wizards charged up a power bomb attack, while Uncle Karius pulled out a card.

"No, a literal trump card!" Uncle Karius said.

"Pulling one of those at the start? Hmph. You never change."

"Take this!" The 3 wizards said in synchronization.

"You're the one who's never changed! Pulling off ultimate attacks right off the bat?" Uncle Karius said, preparing to throw the card. 

The giant ball of wind, obsidian(rock) and fire magic was thrown at Uncle Karius.

"I never said what the card was!"

Uncle Karius was struck directly by the bomb, and exploded into pieces.

"That's... a clone?" Maelborne said as he turned around. "He can do that?"

"One of my powerful spells! Rock Blade Slicer!"

A triangular blade of earth formed on Karius's right hand, and slashed at Maelborne multiple times. It happened so fast Maelborne didn't have time to react.

"Curses!!" Maelborne muttered as blood sputtered from his mouth as he hit the ground.

"You're next?" Uncle Karius said turning to the other 2 wizards.

"Hmph. Of course, if he's Mael you're Karlson and Jake. You three sure are inseparable."

"Sorry K, we need the gem. Even if it takes to fight to the death." Jake said. "Fire Blast-"

"Electric Star!" Jerry turned into a bolt of lightning and slammed into Jake, knocking him back.

Reave appeared behind Karlson, and did a hand sign.

"Burning Attack!"

A fire blast appeared from his hands, and blew Karlson off guard.

"Fire Pillar!" Jake cried as an array of pillars formed and orbited Jake in various distances.

Jerry dodged them all with his lightning speed, and attacked Jake with a series of claw attacks.

"Fire Cloak Mode."

Jake suddenly glowed neon orange, resembling a humanoid fire.

A long battle of lightning and fire enrages.

"Bedrock Meteor!" Karlson said as he threw a giant spiked rock ball at Reave.

"Ha?"

Reave rubbed his spear with charred paper, infusing it.

Reave threw it at the rock, and stopped it.

But not broken.

The rock and spear halted, fighting off each other in mid air.

"I'm winning this! Ha!" Karlson said as he leaped high into the air, and started firing rock blasts continuously against his obsidian boulder.

Reave did the same with his fire style.

After a long clash, the obsidian boulder proved victorious.

Reave stared in horror as the giant boulder was closing unto him.

Karius was busy charging himself up before he realized Reave was in trouble.

"REEEAAVVEE!!!" Uncle Karius said as he leaped in front of Reave and pried his arms wide open, taking the hit.

"Go get him!" Uncle Karius said, giving Reave a wink, shortly being overwhelmed by the boulder and getting himself crushed.

"For you." Reave said as he retrieved his spear.

"You surely didn't think he's dead?" Karlson said.

"He'll live. Doesn't bother me at all. Now what bothers me is this bag of domestic garbage sitting in my yard."

"That's?"

Reave charged at Karlson, as he stood motionless.

Karlson was about to counter his attacks, but Reave jumped into the air.

"That was the last thing I accounted for!"

Reave plunged spear-first into the ground as Karlson dashed backward, avoiding the attack.

"You thought!" Reave said in a fit of anger.

The floor rumbled.

"This kid! He's this powerful?" Karlson said, covering himself in a obsidian dome.

His obsidian dome shattered as the shockwave passed, knock him off his feet and ten meters into the sky.

Then Reave dashed at Karlson, stabbing him on his back while he wasn't able to guard himself.

"Karlson! You fool!" Maelborne shouted as he stood up.

Karlson was paralyzed. As he stood motionless, Maelborne picked his body up, and threw it behind him, facing Reave.

"Something is giving me the worst possible vibes. This pressure... he's... MENACING!"

"Your dunce of an uncle did not hit me hard enough. Would you be any different?" Maelborne said, as he summoned a shining sabre from thin air.

Reave prepared himself for the greatest challenge he has faced yet.
