Chapter 216: The Journey to the West

  The beach was now a battleground, and the group faced the t Kraken. With their ons at the ready, Risebelle and Runebelle unleashed a barrage of energy bsts, striking the Kraken’s tentacles and causing it to roar in pain.

  Roselle’s eyes darted nervously between the looming Kraken and Kintovar. She took a deep breath and turo Kintovar. “Dr.Kintovar, what about my on? I to fight this thing.”

  Kintovar’s face fell with a look ret. “I’m afraid I didn’t have enough time to fully repair it. Everything happened so quickly, and we had to prioritize other matters.”

  Roselle’s heart sank. “So, what do I do now? I ’t fight without it.”

  Kintovar pced a hand on Roselle’s shoulder. “We’ll have to make do with what we have. I’m fident in your abilities, even without the on. Use your skills and work with the others.

  The Krakee its massive size, possessed powerful magical abilities. It retaliated with a fierce terattack, unleashing a surge of dark energy from its tral mass. The energy formed into a trated beam of inky bess, aimed directly at the group.

  Kintovar and Haras dove out of the way and narrowly escaped the casg wave. Roselle, Risebelle, and Runebelle struggled to defend themselves against the magical assault.

  Risebelle attempted to take aim and fire, but the Kraken maniputed the surrounding water, creating a massive wave that surged towards them. The powerful flood swept everyone off their feet, dragging them into the sea.

  Haras struggled to stay afloat and Kintovar reached out to her, keeping her head above water. Meanwhile, Roselle, Risebelle, and Runebelle found themselves submerged.

  Roselle resurfaced and gasped for air. She was followed by her sisters.

  Roselle growled in frustration while wipier from her eyes. Risebelle and Runebelle, called out to her. “Roselle, over here!”

  Roselle swam towards them, fighting against the current, and they all mao scramble bato the beach. Risebelle turo Roselle. “We o bine our powers. Use yhtning to empower our ons.”

  Roselle nodded. She pced a hand on Runebelle’s back, then on Risebelle’s. She focused, summoning her yellow lightning, and eled it through her sisters. Sparks crackled around them, and their ons hummed with newfound energy.

  Runebelle took aim at the Kraken. Her quick shots struck the creature. Each impact caused arcs of lightning to dance across its massive body. The Kraken roared in pain. It thrashed its tentacles in a wild frenzy.

  Risebelle switched her medium-sized on to burst mode. The on glowed with an intense yellow light as she unleashed explosive shots at the Kraken. Each burst nded with a powerful detonation, sending shockwaves through the air and further weakening the monstrous sea creature.

  The Kraken, reeling from the bined assault, struggled to maintain its ground. Its tentacles filed, trying to ward off the relentless barrage, but the sisters pressed on.

  Roselle watched as their bitacks pushed the Kraken back. “It’s w!” she shouted.

  Roselle decided to try something different. She moved her arms up, gathering energy, then thrust them down like a hammer. A fan of yellow lightning burst from her hands arg towards the Kraken and caused it massive damage. The creature let out a deafening cry. The creature began to sink bato the sea.

  But just whehought they had the upper hand, the Kraken’s eyes turned a menag red. A sinister red glow enveloped its body, and suddenly, all of their lightning attacks ceased to have any effect. The electrical energy fizzled out upon tact, leaving the Kraken seemingly impervious to their assault.

  Roselle’s heart sank. “No! Why isn’t it w anymore?”

  The Kraken, now reinvigorated, rose from the water with rerength. Its tentacles shed out violently, creating waves that crashed onto the shore.

  Risebelle, grittieeth, yelled, “What do we do now?”

  Kintovar shouted to the others, “We need a new pn! Your traditional way of attag won’t cut it here. Think outside the box!”

  Roselle thought of a way to bat the Kraken’s trol over water, she decided to experiment with her unique abilities. Fog on her yellow lightning ability, she attempted to harness it to walk oer’s surface. However, her first attempt failed, and she found herself sinkih the waves.

  Haras retrieved her Elemental Rifle - “Haras’ Catalyst.” She adjusted the settings on her Catalyst, choosing aal mode that she believed could be effective against the Kraken right now. With a deep breath, she aimed and fired a focused shot at the water around the Kraken, hoping to disrupt its trol over the waves.

  The shot struck true, causing ripples ier and interrupting the Kraken’s domihe Kraken roared in pain and fury.

  Kintovar acted quickly, tossing her skyborne bombs into the air. They hovered menagly above her, awaiting her and. With precise timing, she used her grappling hook to snate of the bombs from the air and aimed it directly at the Kraken.

  The bomb streaked through the sky, its destructive payload ready to explode on impact. Kintovar’s precise aim ehat it struck the Kraken’s massive body, causing a massive detonation that sent shockwaves through the water. The Kraken shrieked in agony.

  Kintovar’s eyes lit up with realization. “Aha! Just as I thought. This creature’s type must allow it to avoid taking damage from lightning attacks, but fire will still work on it.” She watched the aura around the Kraken vanished. “It’s vulnerable now! Everyone, fire!”

  Kintovar, seizing the opportunity, shouted, “Attaow!”

  Runebelle was the first to respond, firing rapid shots from her small on.

  Risebelle adjusted her on to explosive mode, charging her shot with explosive energy. She then unleashed a devastating explosive bst that struck the Kraken with tremendous force, causing a fiery eruption on impact.

  The bined assault from Runebelle and Risebelle hit the Kraken with a powerful barrage of energy and explosives, causing the creature to bellow in pain.

  Timmy’s sudden scream pierced the chaos of battle, drawing the group’s attention. They turo see the young boy, terror-stri, pointing at something beyond the Kraken.

  The Kraken attempted to retreat bato the depths of the o. Just then, a colossal, shadowy figure rose from the water. It was another sea creature, even more massive than the Kraken, with a dark and ominous prese appeared to be a Leviathan, a legendary and a sea serpent.

  The Leviathan’s eyes glowed with a white light. It began to move toward the group, its i unclear but undeniably menag.

  The sudden appearance of the Leviatha shockwaves through the group. They couldn’t believe their eyes.

  Roselle stared at the Leviathan. The appearance of the a sea serpe her both astonished and terrified.

  Risebelle was shocked. She quickly adjusted her on, ready for whatever threat this new creature posed.

  Runebelle remained calm and focused. She prepared to face the ued sea serpent

  Haras ched her Elemental Rifle. Kintovar seemed unfazed by the Leviathan’s appearahough her stific curiosity iqued by the a creature.

  While the Leviathan drew he group noticed something astonishing. Atop the colossal sea serpent was an unscious girl in a swimsuit.

  Timmy poiowards the girl and excimed, “That’s my sister, Osana!” The girl was unscious, seemingly unharmed, on the back of the Leviathan. Osana’s skin was a warm, sun-kissed brownish hue, which trasted beautifully with her curly, dark hair.

  The Leviathaly lowered Osana onto the beach, thereated bato the depths of the o. The group quickly gathered Osana with for her well-being.

  Timmy rushed to his sister’s side, shaking her gently and pleading, “Osana, please wake up.” However, there was no response from Osana. Her form remaiill, and she didn’t stir.

  Kintovar quickly stepped forward and k beside Osana. She checked fns of life, pg a hand on Osana’s chest to feel for breathing. After a few moments, her face grew somber.”She’s not breathing.”

  Kintan perf CPR on Osana, applying chest pressions to stimute circution. The group watched anxiously.

  Kintovar tinued with chest pressions. At the same time, she said, “Haras, prepare your Elemental Rifle. We might o use electrical stimution if traditional CPR doesn’t work.”

  Haras nodded and readied her Elemental Rifle ial mode, ready to provide electrical shocks if necessary.

  After several cycles, Kintovar paused briefly to assess Osana’s dition. There was still no response. Kintovar decided to give rescue breaths, tilting Osana’s head back gently to open her airway. She sealed her lips over Osana’s and exhaled, watg for any signs of chest rise.

  After a few seds, Osana suddenly coughed up water. She sputtered and gasped for breath. Her eyes blinked open. Timmy’s worried face transformed into one of immense relief.

  Osana weakly turned her head and gazed at her little brother, Timmy. She managed a faint smile and whispered, “Timmy... I’m okay.”

  The group surrounding her let out a collective sigh of relief. Kintovar and Haras helped Osana sit up, making sure she was stable and breathing properly.

  Haras offered her a water bottle to help ri the taste of seawater. Osana took a few sips, slowly regainirength.

  The group turheir attention back to the Leviathan, but It had apparently went back to the sea.

  Kintovar looked at Osana and asked, “Are you feeling okay now? What happened out there?”

  Osana took a deep breath and replied, “I remember being on the beach with my family, and then something pulled me into the water. It was like a nightmare. I couldn’t breathe, and everythi dark.”

  Timmy g to his sister, his eyes still filled with fear from the near-loss of his sibling. Osana forted him with a hug, reassuring him that she was fine now.

  Osana’s eyes widened with a sudden realization. She cried out, “Oh no! My parents are still down there, and Molly... Oh god….Molly is..!”

  The group, now deeply ed, surrounded Osana, their support. Timmy g to her, sharing in her sorrow and fear. Kintently pced a hand on Osana’s shoulder and asked, “What happeo Molly, Osana? We o know.”

  Osana took a deep, shuddering breath. She mao find the words to expin, “Molly, she... she didn’t make it. The Kraken... it got her. She’s gone.”

  The group stood in solemn silence, processing the devastating news. Timmy began to sob untrolbly.

  The group’s faced mirrored Timmy’s grief. Roselle, Risebelle, and Runebelle exged ed gnces. Haras and Kintovar were momentarily at a loss for words.

  Timmy’s sobs eventually began to quiet down. Amidst the haze of his grief, a memory pierced through his sorrow—the st words Molly had said to him: “What’s the matter, Timmy? ’t handle a little swim? Ugh, you’re such a baby.”

  In his mind, Timmy pictured Molly’s teasing smile. The image of her teasing him, despite its harshness, ignited a spark within him. He recalled her challenge and realized that he wao prove her wrong, to show that he was capable of more than she had given him credit for.

  Determiimmy wiped his tears and looked up at Osana with newfound resolve. “I’m going to find them!” he decred. Before anyone could stop him, he spriowards the water’s edge.

  “Timmy, wait!” Haras called out, but Timmy was already diving into the o, disappearih the waves.

  Roselle’s heart pounded with worry. She to the group, “I have to go after him!” and, without further dey, she dove into the water.

  Risebelle and Runebelle exged gnces filled with .

  Timmy desded into the deep depths of the o. He was fronted with a heart-wreng sight. His mother, Oakley, with her curly brown hair flowing like seaweed, was tied up, struggling against the Kraken’s grasp. His father, Henry, a big and round figure with short brown hair, fought valiantly to free her from the creature’s clutches. But time was running out, and Henry was about to run out of breath.

  The menag Kraken closed in on them, and a wave of fear washed over Timmy. However, something deep within him stirred, a newfound strength that surged from his core. His anger over what the Kraken had doo Molly transformed into raw energy.

  Timmy, for the first time in his life, began to mahis newfound power, and the water around him swirled with energy. His eyes glowed with an intense light.

  “You took Molly from me,” he seethed. “I had so much I wao show her, and you took that away.”
