Beyond The Stars


Chapter 97: The Plan Goes Into Effect

Even with the heroes going all out, Daykona remains confident.

“Your effort was good but, in the end, it doesn’t matter,” Daykona says with a grin.

Daykona multiplies the razor hail embedded in her back and the small lava waves that are on the ground. The lava begins to spread throughout the room except where Daykona stands.

She smirks. “I know how much all of you love hitting each other with your own attacks, so here, have some more!”

Daykona removes the razor hail from her back and throws a lot of it at Zeth, who glares at her.

“It won’t happen again!” Zeth declares just before he jumps over the razor hail.

“You really are a fool,” Daykona says. “That’s exactly what I wanted you to do!”

She shoots a strong laser beam out from the large eye tentacle. It pierces Zeth in his chest before he lands back on the ground.

“Gaaahh!!!” Zeth screams in severe pain.

With a dying look on his face, Zeth’s body falls backward, fully collapsing to the ground. He’s not dead, but he is on the verge of unconsciousness and his Raging Star Mode ends. Blood starts flowing out of his mouth.

Kurt, Emily, and Joe scream in unison, “Zeth!!!!”

Lava begins to flow near Zeth and Daykona looks ecstatic.

“Yes!!!” Daykona screams with excitement. “Burn to death, you divine trash!!! Are you watching Harmona!!!? Your son is about to burn to death!!!!!”

The other three heroes try to reach him, but the lava keeps them from having a chance of getting there in time.

“We won’t make it in time!!” Emily shouts with worry.

Joe grits his teeth. “Damn it!!”

Daykona continues her enthusiastic screaming. “Burn!!!!”

Suddenly, an injured Sasha shows up and grabs Zeth’s body, carrying him away from the lava before it reaches him. The other three heroes breathe a sigh of relief.

“Thank goodness,” Kurt says, wiping sweat from his forehead.

Sasha puts Zeth down in a safe spot but still holds on to him, protecting him with her life.

“How are you even still able to move!?” Daykona shouts.

Sasha continues holding on to Zeth but turns her head to look at Daykona. Sasha is crying, tears flowing down her cheeks. “You are a monster!! Your hatred is absolutely unfounded!”

“Oh, is it!?” Daykona asks, irritated by Sasha’s words. “Tell that to every mortal that suffered during the 24 years of the Great Chaos!!”

With Daykona focused on Sasha, she is hit from behind by three attacks. First, by Kurt’s Mega Aura Whip. Then, getting pierced by Emily’s Shadow Sword, which she threw. And lastly, by Joe’s Derecho which drives Emily’s sword further into Daykona’s body.

Daykona coughs up blood and falls to one knee as she breathes heavily.

Emily uses her magic to have the sword pull out and then fly back to her.

Daykona turns her head back toward the others, fury in her eyes. “You have some nerve!!! All three of you should be ashamed as humans to side with divine beings!!!”

The anger the three of them had felt earlier has come back, and they glare at Daykona with high intensity in their eyes.

“You are simply blind to reality!!” Kurt snaps. “Harmona has always fought to protect this world!!”

“Nonsense!!” Daykona yells back. “You are naïve if you truly think the goddesses look at us as anything more than playthings!! They can wage their damn wars somewhere else!!”

Daykona makes the lava vanish and charges at the three heroes, determined to punish the human heroes. She shoots an eye tentacle laser beam at them but they dodge.

All three rush forward and attack at the same time with punches, kicks, and Emily’s sword slashing. The heroes land several hits.

Daykona screams as she takes hit after hit. “You three can all die with the children of the goddesses!!”

Emily tries a jump-slash but Daykona quickly punches the sword out of her hand and then punches her.

Joe stabs a lightning bolt into the wound that Emily’s sword had caused earlier. Daykona takes electric shock damage, but she ends up overwhelming Joe and hits him back with her elbow. She punches Kurt to knock him back too.

“Do you finally see!!?” Daykona screams. “You can’t beat me!!”

She stops walking as a rumble is felt throughout the room.

Kurt smiles even as he winces in pain. “Finally…”

“What are you doing!!?” Daykona yells.

Suddenly, a hole in the floor opens up where Daykona is standing, and she falls in. “Damn You!!!!!”

Then, a flying sign shows up above the hole that reads, “This is fun!”

Kurt sighs, but almost chuckles. “Well, Sandy, I don’t know what took you so long, but we can talk about that after we finish this. Come. We are going in.”

He looks over to Sasha, who is still holding on to Zeth’s body. She is still crying.

“We will be back once we finish this,” Kurt calls out to Sasha. He turns his head toward Emily and Joe, saying, “Alright, the plan has gone into effect.” He then looks into the hole, shouting, “You hear that, Daykona!? It’s your end that is coming!!”

Kurt’s plan all along was to attack with the help of Sandy, the Troll Queen. Can their combined efforts be enough to stop Daykona once and for all?
