Sins of the Father

Chapter 26

Battle of the ages

Fusedtwilight: Thanks to my beta animegirlkiki for the beta and thanks to everyone who reviewed.

The men arrived on the outskirts of the city.
The looked at the gloomy atmosphere of Seattle, even with their resistance to cold both the vampires and the shape-shifters felt a cold that chilled them to the bone.
"I feel like I am at the gates to the ninth level of hell," Carlisle said.
"Not a bad analogy," Terra said.
"So, what's the plan?" Sam asked.
"While I fight Shade you lot go into the sewers and kill his abominations and their brood," Terra said.
"Yeah, I am not an expert on the sewers of Seattle so-"
Terra placed his fingers on Jake's head and showed him telepathically where to find the creatures.
"Jesus! What the hell were those things!" he asked.
"The things you are going to fight," Terra said.
"But...what are they?" Jake asked.
"Some new monstrosity he made. Wouldn't be the first time he fathered monsters. Speaking of, here."
He reached inside his pouch and pulled out six lanterns and handed them to the group.
"There lanterns were made by a magician in the thirties. When you say lux they shine with a powerful light that illuminates the darkness. I am sure the shadow spirits are down there as well, this will send them running," Terra said.
He turned and began to walk into the city.
"Terra, good luck," Jake said.
"You too, Jacob. Try not to die, as much as I have tried not to I am afraid I have grown rather fond of you and would be rather distraught if you died," Terra said.
"You're an asshole," Jake said with a grin.
"A magical asshole," Terra shot back.
"What do you know, he does have a sense of humor," Jake said.

Shade sat on the roof of his building.
Dark clouds were in the sky and thunder could be heard, a dark wind blew, the kind of wind that came before a storm.
He saw Terra walking calmly towards him, his crimson eyes burned with hate and spite.
"I was beginning to think you would not show Terra!" he called.
Terra looked up at Shade. "I always keep my promises Shade. And I promised I would stop you, this time for good," Terra said.
Shade smiled. "Well then I am happy to make you a liar, because today you will finally know defeat!"
Terra smiled. "Two hundred thousand nine hundred and five."
"I will rule this world!" Shade said.
"Fifty thousand seventy six hundred," Terra said.
"I...wait what?" Shade asked confused as to why Terra was speaking numbers.
"Oh don't mind me, please continue," Terra said waving his hand politely.
"I...I will rain death and destruction and build a new world from the ashes!" Shade said throwing his hands up in the air, continuing his speech.
"Oh wow… one hundred thousand," Terra said.
"What in the name of the darkest pit are you doing? "Shade asked.
"Oh it's this little hobby of mine. See I have lived for so long and heard so many speeches I started to keep count when I hear certain lines," Terra said.
Shade bared his teeth, his eyes burned with a deep red color. "I will fucking murder you!" he yelled.
"And one million," Terra said with a grin.
"Oh to hell with it, let us finally fight!" Shade said.
He let out a screech and his monsters came bursting from the building, demolishing the front of it, reducing it to splinters and dust.
"Already you are cheating Shade, I thought we agreed to use our magics only?" Terra asked.
"Ah, but I fight proper, I created them from my power."
The monsters bared their mandibles at him, their saliva dripped from their maws, their pinches clicked and their tails dripped with venom.
"Kill him my children! Tear him limb from limb!" Shade said.
The monsters roared which sounded like nails on a chalk board. They all rushed at Terra, planning on ripping him apart and feasting on his body.
He grabbed his knife and raised it in the air.
"Air strike!"
The monster jumped at him, Terra spun around slashing his knife in the air, where he slashed concentrated blades of air pressure flew through the air, striking the monsters and cutting them into ribbons.
When they hit the ground they were dead with certain parts still writhing.
"Well, let me start off by thanking you. You saved me the trouble of hunting them down and killing them later," Terra said.

"It has begun," Qahla said.
"How is it going?" Billy asked.
"So far, so good. Shade unleashed his monsters on Terra but he quickly disposed of them," Qahla said. "He is well prepared. Shade has been imprisoned for so long while Terra has spent the majority of his life as a nomad, exploring every inch of the world. He has been to Seattle before and knows the city well so at least he has the advantage of knowing his terrain," Qahla said.
"What about Jake and the others?" Billy asked.
"They are in the sewers, they are having some trouble with the dark spirits but Terra made sure to equip them well," Qahla said.

"LUX!" Seth yelled.
Light shot out of his lanterns, a bright shining light that was almost blinding. It struck a dark spirit that was charging at him, an evil thing with yellow eyes and looked like a mix between a kamodo dragon and an alligator.
As soon as the light touched it, it shrieked and disintegrated into ash.
"Wow these things pack a wallop," Seth said.
They could see more eyes and hidden shapes in the shadows, but they dared not get any closer.
The group made there was through the tunnels, keeping the lanterns lit. Rose glared at the shadow spirits and spat into the shadows, judging by the angry hiss that followed she was sure she hit one of them.
"Disgusting beasts," she hissed.
"Don't antagonize the shadows blondie," Jake said.
"How much further?" Paul asked.
"We should be there in a sec," Jake said.
They turned the corner and found the large room, the egg sack still hung from the ceiling, but it was bigger and seemed to be pulsating.
"There it is," Jake said.
"I am not an expert in monster reproduction but it seems like that egg sack is about ready to burst," Carlisle said.
"Then let's hurry up and burn the sucker," Emmett said.
He began to walk forward, getting ready to jump up and grab the egg sack. Something flew out of the darkness, to white sticky sacks that hit Emmett's feet, keeping him stuck to the floor.
"The hell?" he asked.
One of the monsters emerged from the shadows. She glared at the group with insane animalistic fury.
"I think we just pissed off big mama," Sam said.

Qahla grimaced.
"What is it?" Billy asked.
"It seems only one monster remained to protect the eggs, the mother is quit displeased at intruders in her den," Qahla said.
"Can they handle it?" Billy asked.
"I am sure, though it won't be an easy fight. But Shade is proving a far more difficult opponent," Qahla said. "But Terra has prepared well. He has set up spells, dozens of them all linked, firing them all off at the same time using certain words. I have never seen such spell casting. No wonder he is pompous," Qahla said.

"Die you bastard!" Shade roared.
He thrust his hands at Terra and his nails grew and shot at Terra, turning into long deadly like javelins.
Terra parried them with his staff, his movements graceful and smooth. Shade continued to try and impale Terra, his nails cut into the concrete of the ground like a knife through butter.
"Believe me Shade, I have tried. True aim," Terra said.
He pointed his staff at Shade and a barrage of arrows shot out at Shade. He brought up his wings and the arrows were deflected.
"Is this the best you have? Pitiful tricks?" Shade asked.
"That was act one, here is part two. Bursting flame."
The arrows at Shade's feet erupted in flame and exploded. At first Terra saw nothing due to the smoke, but he knew it was not going to be that easy taking down Shade.
"Come on out Shade, I am sure a little fire is not going to stop you from having your revenge," Terra said.
Shade came flying at him through the smoke, his feathers singed. "Damn you!"
"Vomit concretian," Terra said.
He opened his mouth and a torrent of gray concrete flew out and hit Shade. It covered him and quickly hardened, making an ugly statue.
"Mother always said I should watch what I eat," Terra said wiping his mouth with a smirk.
He backed away from the statue as cracks began to appear on it.
Terra brought his hands together and created a ball of fire.
"Wait for it," he said.
Shade broke free from his prison and as he turned his gaze on Terra.
"And now-"
Terra shot the ball at Shade, right before it hit him Shade caught it in his hands.
"Nice try!" Shade said.
The fire ball turned black. He tossed it at Terra, Terra grabbed his knife and slice the ball in half, it flew past him in different directions where they exploded with tremendous force.
"Ah, the flames of torturous sorrow. Fires made from the suffering of a thousand souls. How old fashioned of you," Terra said.
"Then here is something I dusted of the shelves just for you!"
Shade pointed his hands at Terra, six spheres of black energy appeared around, screaming voices could be heard emanating from them Terra. He found himself unable to move.
He felt fear invade his very being, such fear he felt, unlike anything he had felt in a long time.
"Like it? Cultivated it myself. A weaving of all kinds of frights and terrors to immobilize my prey. What say you now?" Shade asked.
"Dash of courage," Terra said.
A bright light shined around Terra and the orbs vanished.
"What? How?" Shade asked.
"I know how you work Shade. You think I didn't know you would use an empathy spell to fill me with fear? You really need to change your MO," Terra said.
Shade turned his arms into long tendrils and wrapped them around Terra.
"How is this?" Shade asked.
"Oh wow, a shadow spirit using tentacles. I am soooo impressed," Terra said rolling his eyes.
Terra turned into a flock of hawks that escaped Shade's grip and reformed back into Terra a few feet away.
"Now, let me introduce you to Muffin," Terra said. He reached into his pouch and pulled out a small wooden figurine of a lion with wings. "In for the kill."
He tossed the figurine into the air and a pale blue light shined from it. The figurine turned into a massive living flesh and blood creature several times the size of a regular lion. It's mane and the hair at the end of it's tail was fire instead of hair, a pair of wings were on its back, allowing it to fly.
It opened its mouth as if to roar but a jet of fire shot out at Shade. Shade flew into the air to avoid it but the creature flew after him, Shade turned around just in time to see the creature open its mouth and swallow him whole.
"Good boy," Terra said smiling fondly at his pet.
Muffin licked his lips but then let out a groan of pain as his belly started to expand. There was a sound of skin ripping and Shade burst forth from Muffin's stomach who was turned into a broken figurine.
"Any more pets for me to kill Terra?" shade asked.
"Ohhh, don't worry. I have a zoo's worth of creatures," Terra said reaching into his pouch.

"Things are starting to heat up between Terra and Shade," Qahla said.
"What about Jake and the others?" Billy asked.
Qahla switched his sight to the others. "Oh...that is not good," he said.
"What is it?" Billy asked.
"Embry is down, he got stung by the beats tail," he said.
"Oh no!" Leah said.
"Don't worry, I think his wolf physiology will save him...I think," Qahla said.
Rosalie was looking after Embry while the other fought the monster.
It was tougher then it looked. It had stung Embry in his right leg and he phased back. Carlisle had told her to wrap her belt around his arm to help keep the venom from spreading.
A nasty yellow pus like substance was spilling out from the wound.
"So...stupid!" Embry moaned.
"Don't worry dog, you will be fine," Rose said.
She watched in satisfaction as Emmett ripped the stinger of the monster and it screeched in pain.
"Isn't he so hot when he does that?" she asked with a loving smile directed at Emmett.
"I'm kind of dying here," Embry said.
"Oh don't be a diva, it's just a little cut is all, I do hope you don't think this will give you an excuse to stand Leah up," Rose said.
"Are you kidding? I would rather get stung a dozen times then do that. She is something special," he said.
Rose smiled and continued to talk to him, trying to keep him conscious. But she didn't like the look of the wound. The flesh around the injury seemed to be necrotizing.
The wolves and Cullen's continued to battle the monster and Rose hoped they would hurry up and kill the thing. She didn't like how bad Embry was getting and she did not want poor Leah to lose her date.

"Don't worry, I am sure between me and Terra we can heal him," Qahla said, trying to make everyone worry less about Embry. He had never failed to heal a person before, whether the condition was natural or magical.
"How is Terra?" Sue asked.
"Better check," Qahla said. He switched his vision from the others back to Terra. "Yep, that seems right."

Shade destroyed the last of Terra's creatures. Dozens and dozens of broken wooden figurines littered the ground reduced to splinters.
"I spent hours whittling those damn things," Terra muttered.
"Your next Terra!" Shade spread his wings and flew into the air.
"Don't think I can't follow you where ever you can go Shade," Terra said.
Using his magic he flew in the air, straight at Shade. Shade flapped his wings and a barrage of his feathers flew at Terra, sharp as knifes.
Terra held up his staff and summoned an barrier that deflected the feathers off, he maintained the shield and slammed into Shade, sending him flying further into the air.
Shade opened his mouth and summoned a swarm of flesh eating insects to attack Terra. Terra raised his hand and blew into his palm, a gust of icy wind flew out and froze the insects solid.
"The breath of Boreas. Great for stopping them cold," Terra said with a grin.
"Enough of these parlor tricks, time to show you why I am called the shifting dark!" Shade said.
His body began to twist and change, his tail grew longer and a nasty scythe grew on it. His wings grew larger and more broad, his horns turned into something like on a bull.
Armor plating grew on his chest and arms and spiky protrusions grew along his shoulders and elbows. His arms and fingers grew longer.
He was now ten feet tall and much more buff then before.
He smiled, his teeth more long and sharp.
"So Terra what do you think of my other form?" he asked.
"Kind of let down. I was expecting something more grand. I mean, you haven't really changed that much. Now if you really want a transformation, check this out."
The fur Terra wore began to grow and cover his body. It was like Terra was being absorbed into it.
His form grew and grew and grew into it was even bigger then Shade.
The creature that stood before him was like a mix of a sabertooth cat, a bear and a lion. It had long fanges like sabers, a sleek frame, a mane of russet colored hair it's paws had an opposable thumb and were tipped with long black claws.
The beast stood on its back legs like a bear, it's long tail swished back and forth.
"So, what do you think of my transformation?" Terra asked cockily.

"Terra and Shade just transformed. Wow, Terra looks cool as a...whatever he is," Qahla said.
Billy looked up in the sky and noticed the eclipse had begun, a small corner of the sun had turned dark and it was slowly spreading.
"He should be able to draw power from the eclipse soon," Billy said.
"Check on the others, how are they doing?" Leah asked.
Qahla turned his vision to the others.

"Lux!" Rose yelled.
She raised the lantern and the light hit the beast in the face, it screeched in pain and backed away from the light. It did not destroy it like the shadow spirits but it did hurt it's now sensitive eyes.
The others continued to attack it, Jasper had to retrieve his arm after the beast tore it off.
Rose looked up and saw that the eggs sack was starting to develop seems, like something was ripping it's way out.
"Oh God! Guys, the eggs are hatching!" she yelled.
"I got it! Keep her busy!" Jasper said.
He dug his fingers into the wall and began to climb up it to get to the eggs. The creature did not notice as it was too busy fighting off the others.
Jasper landed on top of the egg sack, he quickly pulled out the lighter fluid can and dumped it on the eggs sack. He got out his lighter and peered over the edge of the sack.
Carlisle saw him and they nodded at one another. Carlisle grabbed the beasts severed tail and charged at the monster. When she saw him she opened her maw and screamed at him, he brought back the tail and rammed it into her mouth.
It came out the other end of her mouth and he pushed her back until she was under the sack.
"Now Jasper!" he yelled.
Jasper lit the sack with his lighter. Soon there was a popping sound and some shrill shrieks came from the sack as the newborn monstrosities inside burned.
The sack was quickly burning due to the silk, Jasper grabbed the thread that kept the sack attached to the ceiling and bit down on it. The burning sack fell to the ground and everyone got out of the way while as it landed on the monster, crushing her.
They watched as both burned, it was not until the dying shrieks of the young stopped that they decided to go.
Embry was not doing well at all and they needed to get him to Terra or someone to heal him.

"Their mission is done, the monsters are taken care of," Qahla said.
"What about Embry?" Leah asked.
"He is still okay but they need to get him to me as soon as they can so I can heal him," Qahla said.
"And Terra?" Old Quil asked.
"Oh he is doing great," Qahla said happily.

Terra clawed at Shade's chest, his armor kept him from ripping his flesh but it left marks, he had already ripped his wings off and they both plummeted to the ground, forming a large crater where they landed.
His teeth were in shade's neck, the taste of his blood was revolting but he ignored it. Shade whipped his tail to the side, his blade hit Terra in the side.
Terra let go of Shade's neck and let out a roar of pain. Shade punched him in the face sending him flying back.
He stood up, his wounds healing, he was covered in blood but you could not see it do to his blood being as black as his skin.
"How? How is it I am not able to infect you?" Shade asked.
He had tried infecting Terra with evil, he felt it go inside him but it had not taken hold of him.
Terra chuckled and returned to his mortal form.
"I am old Shade. I have done many terrible things in my overly long life. When you travel down the dark path's I have it leaves a mark on your soul."
Terra grabbed his pouch and opened it up. He then pulled out a long vial and vomited up a tar like substance into the vial and placed it back in the pouch, it had been Shade's evil that had infected him.
"You can't taint what has already been tainted after all," Terra said.
He looked up in the sky, he waved his hand and an opening appeared in the clouds, showing the sun that was now almost in full eclipse.
"But the time has come to end this once and for all," Terra said.
"I agree, I see you have noticed the eclipse, the time when darkness overcomes the light!" Shade said.
"True, but it never lasts, no matter what, darkness is banished by the light," Terra said.
"Ah, but light is not eternal, darkness is and always will remain when light has been vanquished," Shade said.
"And yet light may always be found in any darkness," Terra said.
He raised his hands, in his left he held the stone dagger, in his right he held his staff.
"Here me oh sun and moon, I am the last of the sun and moon tribes, I am the scion of the sky tribe! Once more I invoke you both, lend me your power as is my right by blood! Sun, grant me your power! Moon grant me your wisdom!"
The sun became fully eclipsed. Just then the wind began to swirl around Terra and the earth began to tremble.
The stone around his neck began to glow, then there was a flash of light so powerful it burned Shade's body.
Terra glowed with a white blue tinted light. The symbols of both his staff and knife glowed as well, the staff glowed silver blue and the knife went from obsidian to golden red.
Symbols blazed on Terra's skin. Runes, hieroglyphs, I-Ching, veve, alchemical symbols, sigils. They all appeared on his skin. The ankh, the sephirot, the pentagram, the ying-yang, words of power spread out from all the cultures of the world. Symbols with meanings that were lost to mankind. They all blazed to life on his skin, glowing with a blinding light.
For Terra had his roots in all the mystical schools of the world, magic was as much a part of him as he was of it and he had the mark to show it.
But they were all shifting, one minute you would see one marking on his body, then you would blink and see another, one minute on his forehead you would see a pentagram, then you would blink and see the infinity symbol.
His power spilled out, those burning multicolored silk threads the mystics saw when they first saw him in his true form danced around him and through him.
Each ribbon was a type of magic, elemental magic, death magic, chaos magic, order magic, time magic, faith magic, combat magic, earth magic, cosmic magic, divine magic, light magic, shadow magic, sympathetic magic, physical magic, spiritual magic, love magic. All of it ran into him, through him.
It should be impossible, no mortal should have this connection to so many and conflicting mystical power without burning up and being torn apart.
But he was the living nexus, he was the genesis, his bloodline was a vast tree with many branches that connected him to all the people of all the world.
He smiled at Shade and spoke in a voice that was deep, vast and full of wisdom and power.
"Let us finish this Shade," he said.

As the Cullens and wolves made their way up they paused.
A hole in the bleak sky revealed the eclipse, the wind blew like a storm and the ground was shaking, but there was something that made them pause, they felt like they were at the center of the eye of a hurricane.
Their small spark mystical intuition told them something had been unleashed and they hoped to God it was Terra because they feared this power if it was not benign.
Qahla could not believe what he was feeling, he knew Terra was strong and had vast wells of power but this was insane.
"Oh God!" Rachel said.
"What...what is that?" Henry asked.
"Qwil, I'm scared!" Claire cried.
"Guys, what is going on...I feel odd," Collin said.
"We feel it too," Edward said.
"What is it?" Sue asked.
"It...it's...by the spirits it's Terra! I...I can't believe this power! It's as great as mine; only it's more refined, more focused!" Qahla said.
"Why are we feeling worse than the others?" Tommy asked.
"We're mystics, we are more connected to the spirit world then vampires or shape-shifters," Rachel said.
"Terra needs to hurry up and take Shade down, his power is running wild! Who knows how it will affect the spirit and physical worlds!" Qahla said.
Qahla was right, all over the world straight into it's core Terra's power was felt.
In Volterra the Volturi sensed something. They did not know what it was but each and every member had a powerful sense that something big was happening.
Only the leaders, Caius, Marcus and Aro had an idea. Terra had been their guest for a few decades, they knew how deep his influence ran, they knew the feel of his magic.
They wondered what would cause him to unleash his power like this?
Deep in the jungles of South America a shaman fell into a trance and sang a song of a great battle, his tribe fell silent and listened to him, recording his words to pass down the song to future generations.
In Italy a young painter goes into a trance and begins to paint, the scene shows Terra and shade battling, when he awakes he is shocked to see what he has drawn and wonders the meaning. He would later sell it and make a small fortune from it and his painting would be one of his greatest masterpieces which would become one of the most well known paintings ever.
In Germany, in a church a priest has a revaluation of a great evil being fought. He would go on to record the details of his vision, believing it to be a revaluation from god of the end of times.
Across the world people who were in coma's suddenly wake up, the distant memory of a god like being glowing with magical symbols forever burned in their memory.
Every maternity ward within a hundred miles of Seattle suddenly found themselves flooded with a rash of sudden births, every woman in her final month suddenly found their water breaking.
In Phoenix Arizona it did snow, despite the fact it was too hot for even a snowflake to form.
Earthquakes, hurricanes, floods and other natural disasters his areas all around the world so suddenly the population had scarcely anytime to realize what had happened.
Somewhere in Oregon Buffalo-Man reformed, it should have taken him a lot longer too but the disturbance Terra caused by unleashing his power allowed him to come back to the real world.
Terra's power was both subtitle and deep, working through many layers or reality.
Throughout the ages many wondered why he did not become a god, with the amount of power he had it would be so easy for him to transcend this world and evolve into a higher level of existence.
But as Terra said, it was not a higher level of existence he wanted. It was none-existence.
It was truly a bitter irony that a being with that much power only wanted to die.

"What is this? How did you get this much power?" Shade demanded.
"I have not been idle over the eons Shade. I have studied both the mystic arts and the sciences. Increasing both my knowledge and my power. The eclipse just helped give me enough power to take you down," Terra said.
He put his knife into his staff, making his spear.
"So, if you have any last words I suggest you say what you have to now," he said.
"I am not afraid of you!" Shade said.
"And two million," Terra said.
Before Shade could so much as blink Terra was in front of him, moving faster then a newborn vampire. He brought his fist forward and punch Shade in the chest, sending him flying into a building.
Terra then summoned and volley of lightning from the sky to destroy the building until it was nothing but rubble.
But he knew Shade wasn't dead. His power allowed him to see into many levels of reality, in the physical world, the spirit world and the myriad of realities beyond.
He saw Shade getting back up, in the spirit world his form was ever changing, constantly changing into a new and terrifying form.
He was hurt, the attack hurt him and he was furious. He summoned a group of shadow spirits. They were made from shadow and were like a cross between a dragon and a squid.
They flew at Terra, but he summoned a hieroglyph in the shape of a sun with twin cobras on either side. A blazing golden white light emanated from it and the shadow spirits disintegrated.
"The eye of Ra, perfect for smiting," Terra said.
"This power! It reeks of divinity!" Shade said.
"Yeah, I am capable of channeling divine powers. I mostly prefer to work with solar and lunar diety's I get along with them real well for obvious reasons. Here is another favorite of mine, the arrows of Artemis and Apollo. Ever see it?"
"I have been imprisoned for thousands of years idiot! Of course not!" Shade hissed.
"Well your about to find out," Terra said.
He raised his staff. "Silver stag."
The air shimmered with silver white light and arrows made from moonlight appeared. Hundreds of them.
Terra raised his knife. "Golden laurel," he said.
A bright yellow light filled the air as hundreds of burning golden arrows appeared as well.
"The arrows of Artemis, made from moonlight and are very sharp and fast. The arrows of Apollo are made from sunlight and are a bit more flashy packing more explosive power. But combined they are very amazing to see and being a shadow spirit I am sure you will be very hurt by this part."
Shade went to cast a spell but Terra flicked his fingers. Cube shaped barriers appeared on his hands, feet, tail and wings, keeping him pinned to the spot. He began to shift his body to avoid the attack but Terra ordered the arrows to strike.
They flew through the air like missiles, beautiful and deadly.
The explosion was massive and caused a huge crater to form.
Terra waved his arm and a gust of wind blew the smoke away.
Shade had lost his wings, his left horn was broken and chunks of his body was missing as black blood oozed out.
"Well, I have to admit Shade, I was hoping for more of a fight, I guess I over estimated you," Terra said.
"Ki-kill y-yo-you," he said, spitting out blood.
"One million and one. Now then, let's finish this shall we?"
The pouch he got form Kokopelli levitated into the air. Shade went to attack but Terra struck first.
"Ten of swords."
Ten swords appeared in the air and pierced Shade, pinning him to the ground.
"Alright, say 'ah'," Terra said.
The pouch went over to Shade and turned upside down. Seeds began to pour out into Shade's mouth, smoke began to rise from his mouth, he tried to spit them out but so much was coming out and every time a seed touched his skin it burned him like embers from a hot fire.
"I know these are not your preferred food but a few seeds in the belly can be good for digestion. Now for the final step."
Terra summoned a large pot of water. It turned up and began to pour into shade's mouth.
Smoke rose out of his mouth, it burned him worse than the seeds did. His belly became huge from the amount of seeds and water pouring into his gut.
"Seeds of holy trees mixed with holy water. I imagine it would be like drinking acid eh?" Terra asked.
He waved his hand and the empty pouch fell to the ground and the swords and pot vanished.
Shade clutched at his mouth as smoke bellowed out, the skin around his neck and belly began to boil and bubble.
"What is this!" he gagged.
"Why isn't it obvious? I have decided to try a new sealing, last time I trapped you in stalagmite. But you were able to still expand your influence and whisper into the ears of humanity. Still you were able to exert small influences. But this time I am locking you up so tight you won't be able to do shit."
Terra raised his hand and spoke a spell. "Take root and sprout."
Roots began to grow out of Shade's body, he screamed in pain as his body was being wrapped in tree roots which anchored him to the earth.
"A prison made from holy trees and holy water, a double blessing, designed to keep you imprisoned. We will have to remove you and put you some place where no one will bother you. But don't worry, I will find a place."
A black tree stood where Shade had been, it was a horribly bent and twisted thing, not a single leaf bloomed on it as it was a dead thing.
Terra looked up into the sky and saw the eclipse ended.
His body stopped glowing and the sigils disappeared.
He called back his power, returning it to his body and that was how the fight ended.

"He did it!" Qahla said.
Everyone began to cheer and Kokopelli began to play a victory song with his pipe. People hugged one another, delighted the nightmare was over.
But then Qahla frowned, a sudden feeling of unease washed over him and he knew it really wasn't over him.

Jake and the others found Terra, all they had to do was follow the smoke.
They marveled and the vile tree and wondered how they were going to remove it.
Terra inspected Embry's wound.
"Nasty thing, you are lucky you have a powerful healing factor, else the whole damn thing would have rotted off by now," Terra said.
He put his hands on the wound and a whitish blue light glowed from them as he began to heal the wound.
"The monsters are dead, but there was only one, we don't know where the others are," Carlisle said.
"I took care of the rest, it was easy," Terra said.
"Easy? One of those things kicked our ass's!" Paul said.
"Well, being me has many advantages," Terra said. "One of them being I am bad ass."
"What are we going to do about the damages your battle caused with Shade?" Carlise asked.
"Let the mundies come up with something, they will believe anything but the truth after all," Terra said.
"How is Embry doing?" Jake asked.
"He will be fine, I am revitalizing the dead flesh cell by cell and eradicating the poison. Nasty thing, designed to slowly and painfully kill its prey. You're lucky. Only Qahla or I could heal a poison this severe," Terra said.
He was just finishing up healing Embry when he froze, a cracking sound could be heard like wood breaking.
He spun around and used his staff to summon a shield and just in time, the tree exploded in a shower of splinters. Shade rose from what was left of the tree, more shadow and some then actual physical form, shapeless save for his glowing crimson eyes and various gaping jaws with razor sharp teeth.
"Our dance is not finished Terra!" his voice said, loud as thunder.
"Damnation! Run!" Terra yelled to the others.
They did not need to be told twice, they quickly ran as the shadow cast out dozens of tendrils. Terra fought them off but a few went after the others. They quickly used their lanterns to keep them at bay.
"Foolish mage! Did you really think I would not save my true power until I absolutely needed it! Did you think I would pour everything into it unless I had too?" Shade roared in anger.
Everyone watched as Terra fought, casting spell after spell, shooting fire, lighting and casting spells that destroyed parts of the shadow. Shade slammed two of his tentacles into the ground, the borrowed under the earth and came up behind Terra, on grabbed his left leg, the other his right arm.
The others watched in horror as Terra was lifted up of the ground as more tendrils swarmed him. It lifted him up into the air so he was eye level with Shade.
"Think you are my equal! You damned upstart mage!"
One of his jaws opened and a tongue shot out, it hit Terra in the chest.
"Terra!" everyone yelled.
He looked at them and smiled, black ooze began to pour out of his eyes, nose, ears and mouth.
Then he began to chant in the language of both the sun and moon. His body began to glow with a silver blue and red yellow light, like he was both sun and moon.
"Run!" Carlisle yelled.
Emmett grabbed Embry and Seth, Rose grabbed Sam, Jasper grabbed Jake, Carlisle grabbed Paul and they ran as fast as they could. They had only ran a mile when there was a massive explosion so powerful the shock wave sent them flying through the air.
When Jake awoke he was being shaken by Carlisle, there was a ringing in his ear.
"What?" he asked.
"We have to go!" Carlisle said.
He was suddenly aware of the sound of sirens in the air.
"How long?" he asked.
"You were out five minutes," Carlisle said.
"Is everyone alright?" he asked.
"A bit banged up but they will live. Embry's arm is starting to rot again, Terra didn't get to finish the job, we have to get him to Qahla!" he yelled.
He helped Jake stand, he was wobbly on his feet.
He looked back in shock, where Terra had been there was a fifty foot long crator. It was a good thing they had ran when they did, otherwise even the Cullen's might not have withstood the impact of the blast.
"Terra?" Jake asked.
"Gone," Carlisle said grimly.
"But...he can't die remember?" Jake said.
"I know," Carlisle said.
"Shade?"
"I think he got him."
"Guess again."
Every stared in horror as Shade emerged from a pile of rocks, his shape a ruined mess, like someone tossed a bunch of bodies in a blender.
"Terra lost...I...I have won...you'd...do...best...to run. While you still can that is...but...I will...be seeing you soon...once I ….recover. Better run...little...pigs...the...darkness comes."
They quickly ran as fast as they could, eager to run back home. Eager to run from the dark.

Everyone stared in shock at what Qahla just told them.
A few even sunk to their knees in defeat.
"Terra...he...he's gone," Qahla said sadly, tears ran down his face.
