*Galandar attacked with a downward slice, meaning to damage Shia, but he was too slow, resulting in Shia getting a good, strong punch right in Galandar's face, causing him to stagger backwards; his nose had broken.
However, this didn't stop him, far from it! He quickly recovered from the shock, wiped the blood away and repaid Shia with a kick, sending him flying towards the wall of the chamber.
CRASH!! Shia ended up under a pile of rubble...*

Chazon: Shia?!

Shia : *muffled* Mmph, I'm ok... Don't worry!

*Shia managed to shift the rocks aside, and ran to join the group again. He had gotten a small cut across his head, and was a little shaken, but was otherwise fine.
Then, without warning, the ground lit up under us in a circle. The circle was full of weird runes- not Galdrar, even... Several more glowing circles appeared around us, and started closing in...
I suddenly realised what they were; it was Ashera's Judgement! But it was too late to even warn the others, let alone escape the attack!
The spell hit all of us with tremendous force, scattering us in all directions*

Malchior: *picking himself up off the ground* Ugh, this isn't going well...

Arisu: Don't give up. We can't give up.

*Clash and Ultima ran to fight with Galandar, both sides getting a beating.
Clash ran in circles around Galandar, stirring the dust that had settled from when we were all thrown around the chamber, causing him and Galandar to be engulfed in the dust swirl, while multiple Chaos Spears rained down upon Galandar, sent by Ultima, damaging him greatly. Clash and Ultima jumped out of the way, avoiding another Judgement, but hitting Galandar instead!*

Galandar: Hey, Ashera! Watch out will ya'!

Ashera: . . .

*taking advantage of Ashera being distracted, Nirmal, Malchior and Chazon took the opportunity to attack. All three charged headlong towards her, striking with their various weapons. Each hit right on the mark... but were reflected, and damaged the trio instead!
While the threesome and I were talking, the rest, battled with Galandar. However, Aspharr was nowhere to be seen...*

Malchior: What the hell?! Th-they were solid hits! Wha--?!

Arisu: Aurora.

Chazon: What?

Arisu: Aurora. Ashera's special skill. It reflects attacks, while damaging the attacker at the same time.

Nirmal: You've gotta be kidding me!!

Arisu: Don't worry, though keep attacking it and it'll eventually break.

Malchior: But what about the recoil?

Arisu: Don't attack directly.

Malchior: Hah! Good!

*Nirmal, Chazon and Malchior all resumed attacking long-range, while a large flash drew my attention to Galandar and the other three; they had all been blasted backwards by a sort of energy attack or spell... I ran towards the three, to see if they were all right*

Arisu: Are you-?

Clash: We're fine.

Arisu: Good. Now-Wait... Where's Aspharr?!

Shia: Good question...!

*Galandar, who had yet again recovered from the amount of attacks, was standing with his arms spread wide, was reciting a spell and was surrounded by thin ropes of green energy. They swirled around him for a short while, before Ultima noticed that he was going to attack!*

Ultima: Look out...!

Galandar: I am already bored of this useless fight... so why not finish it now. Or I'll let you join me. Just don't run. That's a cheap way out...

Arisu: We won't run away... nor will we EVER join you.

Galandar: Enough of your stupid voice.
Die.

*Galandar formed the ropes into a bird-shape and pointed one finger at the four of us standing across from him. He drew a symbol in the air, which we couldn't see, and the shape burst into flames and flew straight at us!
I braced myself for impact, but nothing happened.
I lowered my arms, as I had thrown them up in order for some defense, and opened my eyes. A solid, but see-through wall of black-ish, red-ish purple energy had been thrown up in front of us, and someone was standing in front of it. Aspharr! The bird flew straight into the Void Energy wall, and was vaporized instantly!*

Arisu: Aspharr!

Aspharr: I'm sorry for not being here earlier...

Arisu: Where'd you go?

Aspharr: Well--

Galandar: *acting like a little kid, stamping his foot and all that* Argh!! It's not fair! Why can't you just be good and DIE?!

Clash: Maybe if your attacks were any good against all of us, you'd stand a chance. A very small one, yes, but still...

*CRASH!!*

Ultima: What the hell was that?!

*Malchior, Nirmal and Chazon had at last broken the Aurora that surrounded Ashera.
Galandar looked up in alarm, and ran as fast as he could to stand in front of her.
He sent a wave of his green energy again, and the three were thrown back!
They were fairly unharmed, though. The group formed up with the duo, ready to attack. However, I stayed to the side, out of Galandar's sight*

Chazon: Why did he just sweep us away from Ashera?

Malchior: She's vulnerable now. She may be a Goddess of Order, but she's not that tough, in reality.

Chazon: All right! Let's get 'em!

(Another tab, if you would. I think this is one of the best tracks in the game)

*as if responding to Chazon's "command", I jumped from the side and landed a kick on Galandar, sending him a little way to the side, opening a gap for the others to attack.
While they were, I was trying my hardest to keep Galandar away from Ashera.
It was a "I attack, he dodges, he attacks, I dodge, both attack and lock swords" situation, which was fine with me, as he wasn't concentrating on anything else.
While that was going on, the others concentrated on taking Ashera down.
Shia, Chazon and Ultima attacked by raining down Chaos Spears, and the occasional Chaos Blast when they were close enough, which inflicted a lot of damage to Ashera... but soon enough, she started to be able to guess the pattern of the attacks and teleported out of the way each time, giving her the chance to attack with Judgement, which hit right on the mark, so the three were forced back from the attack and had to keep their distance while attacking, also having to attack at irregular patterns, so to help Clash and Nirmal, who had taken up the post of attacking this time. Clash ran around Ashera, like he had done with Galandar, stirring the dust once again, so that Nirmal could throw the rocks that he had picked up with his physic powers, so that she couldn't see them. They crashed into her, damaging her quite a lot! From all this bashing, Ashera was forced to the ground*

Ashera: It is tragic that you are too limited to see how hopeless this is. You cannot hope to defeat the Divine...

Malchior: You're right. We can't hope to defeat you.

Ashera: Then why continue?

Malchior: You haven't left us much choice. I'd rather die like this than become some mindless ice statue.

Ashera: ...Simpleminded fool...

*summoning the remaining strength she had, Ashera prepared for a last Judgement, however, was cut short as someone had copied her style... the swirling black, red and purple rings were already closing in on her and before she had time to do anything, the whole area lit up and she was hit with the last blow needed...*

Ashera: ...

*Ashera fell to the ground and was silent. Just at that time, Galandar flew across the group and crashed into the chamber wall from an attack from me*

Galandar: ...Nnuugh...

(I'm not gonna bother saying anything here)

Arisu: *sheathing sword and dropping down* And now... it's over... It is all over...

*a medium sized figure runs in from the entrance, and comes to stand a little way apart from me*

Arisu: Um... Who are you...?

?: I believe that one of you called me.

Arisu: Uh, when? Oh...
*to myself*That must be where he went... how'd Aspharr know about this guy?

?: *sighs* Does the name "T" mean anything to you?

Arisu: What? The same "T" as in the-?

T: Yeah.

Malchior: But you're a Laguz.

T: So?

Malchior: How come you-?

*Malchior was stopped mid-sentence, however, as the ground of the chamber began to shake, and both Galandar and Ashera were surrounded by a soft purple light, which eventually ascended into a blinding blue-ish light! When the light faded, Galandar and Ashera rose and stood, Galandar with a look of "You are so dead now" on his face*

T: What the...?! This is insane! You defeated them!

Ashera: ...You defeated nothing... This is nothing at all out of the ordinary... Regular mortals such as yourselves cannot defeat Divinity. It is not possible.

Arisu: We'll try again, then!

Ashera: You can try as many times as you like.
The result will always be the same.
There is no way for you to win.

*I ran to attack Ashera, but was repelled backwards with alarming force*

Ashera: *sighs* When will you tiresome gnats surrender?

Chazon: How 'bout never?!

*T transformed into his Tiger form with a roar and a flash of light, and leapt at Galandar; he was to distract him while we took down Ashera for good. I had a plan, I wasn't sure it would work, but if I looked at Ashera's words carefully "Regular mortals..." she wasn't aware of one thing...*

Arisu: Aspharr!

Aspharr: What?

Arisu: Remember what Ashera said. "Regular mortals"

Aspharr: Your point b--? Oh!

Arisu: And Ashera's the Goddess of Law and Order, right?

Aspharr: I can see where you're going with this.

*the fight continued for a while, until a yowl was heard as T was thrown to the side; he curled up and reverted to his human form. Galandar was covered in scratches and cuts, most of which bleeding badly, he brushed himself off and stood over T*

Galandar: Well, well... How the mighty hath fallen.

Nirmal: No! Is he?

Ultima: *looks grave* He's still alive, only just.

Shia: He's gonna kill him!

Arisu: He's not. Not if I've got anything to say about it!

*drawing my sword and taking aim, I threw it with all the force I had straight at Galandar. He quickly turned around and swung his sword in a counter, there was great "SHIING!!" and my sword as cut clean in two...! The two pieces hit the ground with a thud which rang throughout the whole chamber*

Arisu: Aack!!

Shia: No way...

Ultima: ....?!

Nirmal: Woah...!

Clash: ....Oh shi--...!

Chazon: W-what the...

Aspharr: .....!!

Malchior: ....How the...?

Ashera: *sighs* ...Foolish fools...

*it all happened so quickly. I stood there in silent shock. I felt sick*

Arisu: ....This shouldn't stop us...
Aspharr, now!

*Aspharr faced Ashera and prepared to attack*

Ashera: You dare to face me one-on-one? I need no more evidence of mortal's imperfections...

Aspharr: *chuckles and shakes head* You really are stupid for a Goddess, aren't you?

Ashera: ...?

*everyone was still and silent, including Galandar as the rings of Ashera's Judgement once more surrounded Aspharr, he wasn't the slightest bit worried, as he was ready to attack. They closed in on him...*

Aspharr: LAW... OVERRIDE!!

*Aspharr used Law Override to temporarily stop time, so that he could easily get away from Ashera's Judgement, then, releasing the time stop, summoned his sword, (a magnificent sword it was) he then discharged some Void Energy through it causing it to radiate the energy. He flipped it horizontally, and lunged at Ashera... the sword stabbed through her. Both stayed still for a few seconds, Ashera's face even paler than usual, fixed in a shocked expression... After what seemed like forever, Aspharr pulled his sword away, leaving Ashera to be reduced to just dust, which swirled around until forming a sphere, that just disappeared*

Arisu: No... way...

*the crystal of ice that had been floating above Ashera this whole time had shattered when she was reduced to dust; marking the release of all the people from their icy prisons*

*everyone was silent, even Galandar, and all eyes were on Aspharr*

Aspharr: What?

(Ok, I am officially outta stuff to say, for now)

Galandar: W-wha... WHAT THE...? T-that didn't happen! Impossible!

Shia: It could've... and did.
Face it, we've won. No more Goddess for you to cower behind.

*a growl from the side told me that T was awake again, and had resumed his Tiger form. Galandar jumped from the sound and backed away, into the spot where Ashera had just been standing*

Galandar: C'mon guys... Y-you know I was just--!

Malchior: Shut up. You're a poor excuse for an evil-doer, not worthy of your position.

*I had stayed silent for most of this time. Only now had the reality of the incident actually sunk in*

Arisu: *Galdrar* You... broke my sword... You're gonna pay...

Galandar: What the hell is she saying?

Malchior: Haha! You can't speak Galdrar?!

Galandar: ....

Malchior: *snicker* She said "You broke my sword. You're gonna pay"

Galandar: Oh.

Arisu: Malchior!

Malchior: What?

Arisu: *Galdrar* How 'bout that spell?

Malchior: *Galdrar* Good idea.

Chazon: Am I the only one who doesn't know what's going on?

Shia: Nope. I don't now Galdrar, or whatever they called it, so you're not alone.

*Malchior and I stood side by side; we were to perform the final attack. The one we both knew would work; Galandar was too weak in both mind and body to defend himself*

Arisu and Malchior: *gesturing in different ways, but in perfect unison* Hesberek Et Moriné Gost Wenthen Verbis Nex, Ind Obrium Bis Pendrulé PARAN SIE CORTIS REX!

Galandar: Oh shit.

*many pillars of different coloured light surrounded Galandar, a white pillar then fell directly on top of him, orbs of energy with the same colours as the Chaos Emeralds formed around the pillars which closed in on Galandar. Each of the Chaos Emerald energy orbs exploded inside the pillars, then the smaller ones also closed in and disappeared, but not before letting loose a final blast!
When the light finally faded, Galandar was no where to be found...*

For the final time. (Maybe...) NEW TAB!

Nirmal: Is it over? I think I was just blinded... That was a lot of light...

Arisu: Yes. Now... Now it is truly over...

Clash: Alright! Go us!

Ultima: I gotta admit, we're pretty damn good...

Chazon: Haha! So long, Galandar, good luck in hell...!

Shia: *hi-fives with Chazon* We DO make a pretty damn good team...!

Aspharr: What a journey, though, if you look back...

*flashback: The whole journey, everything. We HAD come far. I have awesome friends who I can always depend on when I need help... That is the reason why we were able to continue, and eventually come out on top*

T: *reverts to human form* Well. I see my work here's done. By your leave...

*he runs off, out of the entrance*

Arisu: T, wait!

Malchior: Let him go...

*after a little while, we decided that it was finally time to leave, however I stayed in the chamber for a while after everyone set out back. I picked up the remains of my sword, it had finally been beaten. We had got our revenge. However one thing still troubled me...*

Arisu: ....

Malchior: *Standing at the entrance* Are you thinking what I am?

Arisu: That would depend. What are you thinking about?

Malchior: That we haven't seen the last of him...

Arisu: Then yeah...

Malchior: Don't worry. If he does, then we know who to count on...

Arisu: ...Yeah.

*taking a last look at the glowing circle of runes, that were slowly fading away, which marked the place Ashera stood; I turned and left the chamber in unusually high spirits. Even though I knew that this peace was only temporary*
