Zaya could see the terrified look on the Viking's face, she then realized that was the reason he had fought recklessly, he was trying to escape.
Zaya's blurry eyes twitched, gritting in pain, she stood up, scanning the whole battle. The spiky viking had somehow left their presence and was now over half a mile away.
She heaved a sigh of relief, the Viking seemed to be digging the rubbles, Zaya was confused, was he trying to hide underground she asked herself, she recognized some parts of the debris as Chinami's mansion.
The ground shook, the fox had gotten closer to the city. Zaya fell on the ground, rocks tumbled in all directions, some parts of the earth crashing into itself.
The ground shook immensely, wind whoozed, Zaya balanced herself, using her hands to cover the wound on her ches.
She leapt up as she tried to get a glimpse of what was going on.
Zaya gaze fell on the fox, there was some sort of familiarity in her primordial signature, only that it was stronger.
What she was doing here?
Zaya asked herself.
The red fox tore through the ocean of fire creatures both snake and fire beasts, unaffected by the dozens of beamed each of the Viking ships had shot towards her.
Zaya landed on the back of a jaguar, A few other girls supporting her landing.
June!
Yelled Zaya gladly.
Korin, is he alive? She immediately asked. Not really, answered June.
But the fix is replenishing his strength rapidly, June answered.
What about you Zaya? She asked.
Zaya shook her head.
No worries Zaya, you're going to make it, consoled Zoey, who slowly dropped the unconscious Korin on the ground beside Zaya, a drop of water falling from her eye.
What do you think you're doing Ashara? Dieing right? Said June as she walked towards were the unconscious Ashara laid.
Hitting Ashara's head continuously with the handle of her sword, Ashara snapped back to life.
Her gaze meeting that of June who gave her hug saying welcome back to the world of the living.
I never thought you'd actually make it.
What, am alive? Asked Ashara confused, Natasha then said to Zaya her gaze focused on the other fox who had just entered the city.
The other fox is going to destroy the serpents Zaya, what are we going to do? Asked Natasha worried.
Before Zaya could respond she was interrupted.
"NO NEED!"
A voice filled with intense aura suddenly appeared amidst them, like she'd been there all along.
They all gasped, shocked.
Instantly, dwelling in their midst was a fox with red fur that glowed like it was crafted from the sun.
Her crimson eyes were redder than blood, she held no weapon but she herself was enough to bring down a whole empire in one day.
The wound on Zaya's chest immediately closed up, courtesy the presence of the powerful being, she opened her eyes as she spoke goosebumps enclosing her body.
"Nyx!"
"You are right purple one.
"It is i, Nyx!"
"The last spy of the fox clan."
Zaya walked towards Nyx, but how?"
"I saw it Nyx, you were no match against the landlegadons, you said it was your sacrifice."
"Yes I did so," replied Nyx.
"But I used Edeth's most powerful gift, which was to kill the I and the landlegadons, But after the pink fox renewed the reincarnation gift, I was returned to my true form even at the verge of death."
Zaya was absolutely confused, what did Nyx mean by Edeth's gift?
Seeing the look on Zaya's face, Nyx then spoke, "I'll tell you of these things Zaya when we would have all the time in the world."
But now, said Nyx facing the viking ships upwards, you must leave the fate of this war to me.
"What?
"You can't take all of them at once Nyx, Zaya said as she kept her hands on Nyx's shoulder."
Korin then laughed out from where he laid, blood drizzling from his nose.
"Watch Zaya, behold the true power of a fox!"said Korin closing his eyes back."
You are injured, Nyx said as she slowly put Zaya back on the ground and then reached towards the staff that had been broken by the viking.
She took a part and held it tightly in her hand.
Like a magnetic force all the other parts returned to the former, joining back together, restoring it to it's original form.
Ashara's was stunned as she spoke, "You are the red Ninja?"
Nyx then stared towards the half breed cat, No, I am Nyx"
Take this Zaya, she said stretching the staff towards Zaya, it will heal you, use the staff to order the snake clan to back down for I'm about to wield the ancient technique.
Wouldn't this kill you Nyx, Zaya asked,even if it does kill me Zaya, it would be worth the death, and also remember that I will return.
The red fox raised her hands up and two swords appeared in her hands, blazing with red energy, she launched into the air as she got closer to the midst of the battle.
On locating her the Viking ships once again unleashed a barrage of beams towards her location.
She stood still, holding her sword tightly, taking a familiar stance.
The red fox vanished from sight, following her disappearance was an unbelievable massacre.
Every living fire creature was slit into pieces, the Viking ships that were up in the sky exploded as powerful strikes hit them, the ground shook immensely as she stomped, revealing the glory of a true foxes power.
It lasted for a few seconds, hundreds of Viking ships collapsed from the sky falling to the city's ground, dense smoke filling the whole area, all fire creatures dead.
Multiple explosions and after shocks dominated the scene, blood everywhere, the wind ground trembled, the sky bore witness that such a night would always be remembered in the annals of history.
In the midst of the remains of the war was a red fox, her sword pinned to the ground as she rested on it, returning back to her human form, she whispered.
Thank you for this gift old friend I promise, that I'll find you.
The red fox began losing her consciousness rapidly, finally, she thought, the end as come once again.
She smiled, remembering Zaya, she then muttered, "so much I wished to tell you purple one." "But we'll meet again, this is where we part ways
"No it isn't," a voice at her front spoke,
The red fox eyes snapped open, alert, as she saw a white glowing figure standing at her front.
Nyx gasped.
Old friend, is that you?
