Chapter 20: Final Battle, Concealed Infinite Cannon!
Apr 20, 2024
Rayne jumped into Morgana's pocket of reality behind Morgana, along with one other unknown figure. Morgana welcomed Rayne to her reality and told her the only way that she was allowed to leave was when she died.. Rayne told Morgana there had to be another way. Morgana told Rayne that death was the only way. It had to end here and now. Morgana's reality was a desolate desert that stretched for miles and miles. Morgana knew that she had to avoid being hit by that Cannon ability at all costs. Rayne was in her head saying that with the power she had, if the battle was going to be long, that she only had two more Cannon shots left. Both of them wanted to get the jump on the other and they both rushed at each other, shooting shots that crashed into each other and rippled Morgana's reality. The skies started to turn black and clouds started to form. Lightning crashed down, destroying the ground. Neither of them wanted to back down.
Rayne wanted to stop Morgana without killing her and Morgana wanted nothing more than to kill Rayne and go and finish off the rest of the Pistols. Rayne noticed that even with everything going on that it was just a fake world that was created by Morgana. Rayne took this opportunity to shoot bullets all over the place while it was dark and have them lay in wait. Morgana rushed Rayne, but as Morgana got closer to Rayne, the hidden bullets started shooting out at her. Some were huge power shots while others were swords and large spikes. Others were elemental based. It was like the other pistols were there helping Rayne. While those were distracting Morgana, Rayne summoned the Infinite Cannon and shot a blast towards Morgana. But this was Morgana's reality. She saw all and quickly got out of the way.
Morgana told Rayne that she was going to have to be smarter than that because they were in Morgana's reality and she was all seeing. Just then, a barrage of ice spears hit Morgana in her back, causing damage. Morgana screamed out in agony as it drew blood. Rayne looked up into the air and Morgana turned around. They looked for who or what caused this. There was a woman with blue hair and eyes. Rayne recognized this woman. It was Sapphire. This woman was the one that Rare spared the life of during the final fight against Lucas and Ouroboros. Rayne asked Sapphire why she was here. Sapphire told Rayne that she was just paying back a debt that she made with Rare and that she was going to help Rayne achieve that. The way she talked about earlier gave Morgana the opportunity to pull the spikes out her back.
This interruption made Morgana even more mad. She told them that it didn't matter how many of them there were, she was going to kill them all. Sapphire did what seemed like teleportation and was next to Rayne by Morgana. But Rayne knew exactly what was happening. Sapphire used her Concealing ability. Sapphire asked how that Cannon ability worked and Rayne explained it to Sapphire. Sapphire told Rayne to fire that Cannon ability again and that Sapphire would take care of the rest. Sapphire explained that she created an ice Cannon of her own that should be strong enough to contain and conceal the ability. If everything went well, this would be the final attack. Rayne agreed to what Sapphire had suggested.
Morgana didn't let them finish talking, however, and focused a blast right at Sapphire. But Sapphire was already gone, out of Morgana's sight again. Rayne had the Infinite Cannon out again but didn't shoot. It was already shot, but Morgana didn't realize this. This was the final blow. Sapphire appeared above Morgana firing the Cannon's ability down upon Morgana,hitting her full on. Morgana let out a huge cry as she felt all her powers being stripped out of her just like Lilith said earlier. Morgana's gun was released from her hand, going into the air and shattering right before her eyes. Morgana couldn't believe that she had lost everything so quickly. She fell to her knees and asked that she be killed.
Rayne told her no and that this was the better way. She said that Morgana, as well as Lilith, were going to live the rest of their lives as normal humans. Morgana got up and ran towards Rayne, wanting Rayne to kill her. Rayne hit Morgana in the face, knocking her down. Then, the reality started to crumble and fall apart. Rayne shot a bullet out of an opening that created a portal that connected Morgana's reality back to the world of Edict. Rayne picked up Morgana as her and Sapphire jumped out of the reality and back into their world where the other Pistols were waiting for them. Rayne told them that thanks to Sapphire the Pistol War was over.
Everyone who was still alive raged out in joy. Rayne went back to her regular form, falling from exhaustion. Morgana, Lilith, and every one who was still around in Scarlet's Web, were sent to the military's prison. The House of Seven slowly but surely started to rebuild. Sotto found her father's coat and put it on, becoming the new general.
Two years went by and all the Pistols were now the House of Seven's new leaders. Godfrey and Kanu got together and had twins named Rika and Mika. Rika was born with blue hair. Her eyes were blue with a gold tint. Mika was born with black hair and her eyes were gold with a blue tint. Sotto put all her time into her job, making police forces in all the major cities of the world of Edict. Angie kept the Soloaris family name going, hosting the Olympics. Rare rebuilt the Trinity House Hospital that was destroyed in the war and continued her work as a doctor. Demetria used the resources that the House of Vintis had to build up the defenses of the Houses of Seven. Sapphire was named the new advisor to the House of Seven and all her crimes that she committed while in Ouroboros were absolved.
After that last fight two years ago, Rayne wasn't able to go back into her Infinite form again, but she could still go into Great Pistol form. Her uncle assumed the position of head of the Seneca family but told Rayne that when she was at the age of twenty-one, she would be named the head of the Seneca family. Rayne was happy with that. Being the Great Pistol was already enough responsibility in her mind and with that, the war was over and the Pistols went on to live their lives in the magical world of Edict.
For years, the Great Pistol Wars have changed the fate of the magical world of Edict. The battle between the Rainbow Goddess's warriors (the Pistols) and the Dark Spirit's evil Pistols has tipped the scale between peace and chaos every 30 years. With the Fifth Great Pistol War approaching, it is up to the new Pistols, a group of teenagers led by an 11-year-old girl, to fight for the fate of the world. Can they bring peace back to Edict? Or will the Pistols fall victim to the Dark Spirit's warriors and bring another bout of chaos into the world?
