The Demon Lord continued to struggle and squirm on the ground. He closed one eye as Samus pelted him with shots from her cannon and the hand of his one, free arm slapped at the earth as he glanced over to see Balor levitating into the air. His red eye darted up to see Naija hefting it with some sort of magic and Odin bellowed in rage. He grasped its chain to prevent her from taking it further into the air. As Fox would run passed Oswald, he would find the Shadow Knight still stubbornly keeping his sword embedded into the Demon Lord’s back. His armor was covered in orange pulp and pumpkin seed, and he just so happened to briefly glance the pilot’s way before he watched him acrobatically ascend Balor’s chain.
As soon as the chain was severed and the heavy links collapsed on the earth, Oswald glanced up again at Balor, hovering like a moon over Odin and ripped his blade from the Demon Lord’s back. The Shadow Knight jumped onto the ground and got clear of the god. Samus went flying over the Demon Lord’s head having been lobbed by Slayer and released a charged shot at the back of his skull. His brittle corrupt bone and flesh seemed to incinerate like paper. Demon Lord Odin’s head disappeared in the plasma brought by Samus’s blast leaving a dark, smoking hole about his neck. As Fox and Naija sent Balor descending like a comet upon Odin’s upper back, the black, oily corruption that sloshed about in the gorge of Odin’s neck seemed to surge forth once Balor landed. The weight of the psypher weapon caused the evil to gush like a tube of paste at the charging Luigi.
Four, insect-like segments branched from the black slug’s face, splaying as it flew toward Luigi, the white, human-like rows of teeth at its center parting with a horrific scream. Behind it, Odin’s body had deflated as though all the energy, nutrients and life had been sucked from it. The parasite crashed against Luigi’s electrifying fist, arching backwards on its serpentine body as chains of electricity caused its slimy flesh to smoke and convulse.
Lowering from the sky with her hand held in the worm’s direction was the Valkyrie Princess. Floating above her was her spear, having grown ten times its normal size.
“This is it!” Gwendolyn shouted.
She thrusted her spear toward the worm and it was intercepted by two other staffs to form a six-armed cross. The blinding and purifying light that emanated from the super weapon known as Gungnir engulfed Luigi and the worm. The worm squealed as its grotesque body crumbled into nothingness, and as the light faded, the group would find Luigi to be unharmed and the fires that had once torched the forest extinguished. Purple phozons covered the scorched, black field where the Demon Lord had once laid. They lingered like fireflies in the night and calm.
Slowly, a batch of the phozons rushed toward the castle where Luigi had first planted a Napple Seed. From the crack in the castle floor unfurled a sprout that swelled into a succulent, red tear-drop fruit. Some ways behind Luigi, more phozons rushed to the seed he had planted before the battle’s end, causing a second fruit to emerge.
Gwendolyn’s spear returned to her hand as she swiftly flapped down to Luigi to ensure he wasn’t harmed.
“Forgive me,” she pleaded. She landed behind the plumber. “I took a risk. I wasn’t sure if Gungnir would harm you or not. I couldn’t risk the evil escaping or finding another to corrupt. I thank the gods that you are well.”
The blue psypher, Balor, cracked and burst into the phozons it had consumed. The phozons rushed out, spreading across the forest open as a red batch approached Luigi. Gwendolyn stared strangely at the red phozons.
“Those phozons are unusual,” she said. She removed an empty vial from her inventory and stepped forward to herd the red phozons into it. Corking it, she continued to inspect the phozons in the vial, noticing their strange behavior as they seemed to gravitate toward Luigi. She looked to the green plumber and offered the bottle to him. “Here; the spirit is not from here.”
As Gwendolyn gave Luigi the vial, Oswald walked over to her and rested his hands on her shoulders.
Luigi received Mario's spirit.
“Are you all right? It’s over,” he told her.
Gwendolyn weakly collapsed into her lover’s arms, tears streaming down her cheeks. “No; as long as The Cauldron exists, it’ll never be over and as long as people like General Brigan exist who desire it, the war will never end. Erion will never be safe.”
Oswald held her close and rested his hand on the back of her head. “Speak no more. We will savor this peace. I am sorry about your father. I should have seen Brigan’s treachery sooner.”
Wiping her eyes, Gwendolyn shook her head and turned away from her lover. She looked around at all the foreigners to Erion.
“I am sorry that you all were drawn into this. This was not your battle, but I thank you. Because of your efforts, Erion is saved for now. If there is anything that I can do, please ask. I will do what is in my power to help you, but know that this battle is not over. But today, we will be grateful for our victory and rest.”
Oswald then chimed in, “Though our fight isn’t over, I thank you all for coming here to help us. If you so need me, you have my blade.”
“And my spear,” Gwendolyn said.
The Pooka, Myris, rushed over to Gwendolyn to take her princess’s hands. Gwendolyn crouched and hugged her caretaker, easing her worries.
Velvet hopped off Quina's head to quickly rush over to Gwendolyn and Oswald. "Now that Odin's dead, I fear the other kingdoms will contest for the Cauldron. And...Queen Odette..."
Gwendolyn turned from Myris's embrace, surprised at first to see her half-sister Velvet. Hearing the Queen of the Underworld's name mentioned gave her goosebumps, but she frowned sternly, "They will have to come for this ring."
Gwendolyn held up her hand with the ring and raised her chin bravely. "Let them come."
