Legacy of the Descendants VIII: Rage of the Hellfire Wyvern

The hunters braced for the huge fireball to consume them, but it never made contact. they each opened thier eyes to be faced with a huge wall of water before them, extinguishing the flames with a sharp hissing sound, like the sound a sword make in a forge when you dunk it in a bucket of water. Mizu had saved them. But the Akumagoka wasn't finished yet. It took a huge breath, craning its neck back before unleashing a vigorous and relentless stream of crimson flames upon the aquatic bockate that seperated it from its prey. Mizu began to feel the heat of its flames as the water began to turn to steam, truly understanding why it was known as the Hellfire Wyvern.

"C'mon, attack it already! I can't hold this much longer!" He yelled, grunting as the heat began to get to him. Makoto acted a quickly as she could, drawing on her powers to assualt the monster. but, to her suprise and disdain, nothing happened. "What? My powers aren't working!" she yelped.

"You have power over the earth, Makoto, not the air! We're probably to high up for you to use your powers!" Gale suggested.

"Have you forgotten, Gale? You and I are wind Descendants, and I also have acess the the dark Wyrm's power!" Altair yelled over the roaring flames.

"Oh, yeah! Wait, you can use darkness!? Since when!?" Gale shouted.

I never told you, I have the powers of both Guretosutomu and Shinkaiyami in me! But I'm too afraid to use Shikaiyami's gifts. I fear the outcome of using the might of the most powerful of the Wyrms..." he replied.

"Just try using them, even if its just this once!"

"...Fine!" Altair boomed back. He let his raven fly again. But this time, tendrils of shadow began to emanate from it's wings. Altiar leapt into the air, plucking a feather from its wing. As he landed on the ground, the feather turned to pure shadow, flowing into his body. When he looked up, his eyes had turned a vicious ruby-red. He aimed his hand at the Akumagoka. A ball of pure shadow formed and flew toward the Wyvern, hitting it directly on it's neck, interrupting its stream of fire.

Mizu, now free to manipulate the water he had summoned, sent it forth, slpashing vehemently over the Akumagoka in torrents, causing it pain. It let out an ear-splitting roar fury and pain, its eyes flaring a demonic white.

"Well, at least we know that water can piss it off!" Gigas growled. "All my weapons and abilities are fire-based!" he yelled at the others. "I'm no use up here! I'm gonna go down the the cockpit to talk to Gale's dad, see if he can come up with any bright ideas!" And with that he scurried off below.

Almost as soon as Gigas had fled the scene, the seven remianing combatants refocused on the marauding Akumagoka, who still hovered around the airship attacking the hunteres with bursts of fire, which Gale, Altair (who had rid himself of the dark power from before) and Mizu narrowly blocked each time. Mizu struck the Akumagoka with another torrent of water, but this time it turned to steam before it made contact, a swirling aura of flame encompassing the beast's entire body.

"Oh, great! A fire aura!" Skylar spat bluntly, lobbing her huge shuriken at the monster continuously. "This thing's like a Teostra on steroids!"
