Trey's armada had cut a path right through the enemy ships, as it reached the main island. Except for the battle between Sean and Sernir, there was almost a lull in the action. Chezni, Ash, and Manachu had returned awhile ago, but they simply watched as Sean's Eevee and Sernir simply began exchanging blows.
Chezni looked to the enemy armada which seemed to be regrouping. "I couldn't find Zarnon or Tyraxis on the Flagship... I wonder where they went to..." he said, as the one-on-one battle began to heat up.
Sernir glanced at the fleet. Just then, a barrage of sharp lights hit Sernir, flinging him backward. "You... How can you use Magic Missile?! You're not from this world!!"
Sean simply grinned. "I don't know, but I have no problem with it..."
Sernir then began to grin, as he glanced back at the fleet. "Oh well. It doesn't matter... You'll all be dead in a few moments! I'll have to conclude this meeting early... Do try and survive what's coming next!" As he finished, he flew toward the fog that seemed to be concentrated behind the enemy fleet.
Zarnon looked on with glee from inside the fog. Tyraxis nodded. "It's time to end this." Tyraxis said as he looked to the soldiers, which seemed to all be dressed in black uniforms. They had on helmets with various colored visors.
"Ready the Grudiev II!" he said. One of the Airships was much larger than the rest, as it lay masked by the dense fog. A gigantic cannon was simply mounted to the metal Ship. An armada of smaller metal ships were also masked by the fog.
Chezni could see the fog begin to lift, as the entire horizon was covered with Airships that looked like metal birds. Even Olidamaara was impressed by the sight.
Chezni looked at the large one with worry. "Oh no... That can't be..." he began. Then, turning to the group he shouted. "We have to get on OliD's Ship! Now!"
Olidamaara heard this, as he hit a few buttons, making Sean, Jodi, Ash, Misty, Chezni, Allicko, Neb,and the rest of the group teleport onto the ship. Unfortunately, the army protecting the Moonglades was left helpless on the ground, as the transporter couldn't recover that many people. Chezni knew exactly what that meant for the army, but there was nothing he could do.
Gillim and Trey were left on the island, awaiting the next attack. Suddenly, Tyraxis' voice could be heard from the main ship. "I want you to listen, and listen well! As you can see, some of your friends were wise, and left the island. As for the rest of you, you have no chance against us, so I give you an opportunity to surrender. After all, it's better than throwing your lives away!"
Trey scowled at the thought of surrendering to someone like Zarnon. "I'd rather die than surrender to YOU!" he said.
Gillim nodded. "We'll fight you to the last man on this island!"
Trey grinned. "You may win this battle Zarnon, but there will be others. I will make this my final vow! Others will come to take our place, and Oerth will be FREED!!!!"
Tyraxis laughed at this. "Very well. You have made your choice. It IS a pity. I would've made you a General... Fire!"
Everyone saw an enormous beam of light hit the island. If it wasn't for OliD's altitude, they would have been caught in the ensuing blast as well. Chezni had seen attacks like this before. It was like a Nuclear Strike. And the group knew there was no way anyone on the island could have survived...
As the blast died down, a large crater could be seen with an outer rim that stretched above sea level. Nothing was left. The entire forest and Mansion had been disintegrated, and other than a few bones of the soldiers, there wasn't even a trace of remnants. Literally, the only survivors were the ones on Olidamaara's Airship.
