Claude managed to block herself with her arms crossed, but still it was really powerful. Lucky for her, her white magic had minimised the damage.
There was silence again. A boulder came, and it became continuous.
Claude shattered it to pieces easily and soon she was losing her temper.
Claude: “Fight me like a real man. Piece of shit. Stop hiding.”
Time stood still.
The forest went quiet.
Claude closed her eyes and summoned her magic throughout her body. Even when it was still, she could sense something gigantic near.
She took a huge leap, open her eyes and stared in front, locking her arms in a defensive stance.
The ground opened and out came a gigantic boa, with its huge red eyes locked on her. And the most bizarre of all, it was all rock.
The boa expand its neck ribs, revealing a huge hood, trying to intimidate it’s enemy. Minori could even see the hood of the boa from afar. Made of a dark granite rock, with soil still dripping from its body, it gave a deafening hiss.
Yan screamed in shock of the huge size from a distance.
Minori immediately covered Yan’s mouth, so it would not pay attention to them.
Claude smiled as she licked her fist.
Claude: Come on! Give me all you’ve got. You are so huge you are not match for speed!
She hit on the ground hard, accelerating and threw a heavy punch.
To her surprise, it dodged away easily, causing Claude to fall to the ground.
The boa spat boulders towards her, burying her to the ground in seconds like a pyramid on her.
In an instant, she broke free of it and charged towards it.
This time she made sure her attacks were a direct hit.
They exchanged blows and what they thought were seconds became days.
Both were evenly matched.
It was already the third day in fighting.
Both were exhausted.
Claude: Alright, this is the first time I’m using this skill. I’m going to make you go down.
Claude stood still. Closed her eyes. She clasped her hands together and chanted.
White flames surrounded her and she was slowly vanishing in the air.
The boa looked in surprise. It stuck out it’s tongue, trying to pick up her scent but to no avail.
The white flames surrounded the boa like a mist.
The boa felt a sense of unease.
Minori seemed to pick up something.
Minori: Go! Go as far as we can! NOW!
Before the boa could react, it was trapped tightly. Claude was gripping it’s neck on her left arm and the other right was hammering on its massive body. The boa hissed helplessly.
Claude transformed herself into a huge giant, the same size as the boa.
The boa was soon losing it’s consciousness. Claude threw it to the ground, leapt into mid air and aimed at its head.
Yan: What the? Minori, look!
In a distance they saw a massive white flamed giant leaping with its knuckles locked together.
Claude: Giant Hammer!
With the gravity and it’s monstrous size, the direct impact hit on the boa, causing it’s head to shatter into bits and the ground to open.
The birds flew off in frighting and the trees came tumbling down with a loud thud. It was as though the volcano had erupted.
The boa fell into the deep pit due to the impact.
Claude too lost her consciousness as she fell in.

In a swift motion, Shadowcat retrieved Claude and the boa, throwing them out of the pit. They flew and landed when the rest of them were.
Thud!
They jumped in fright and there was the boa with its head smashed and Claude lying on top.
Yan: Whoever send them flying here must be stronger than that of a giant!
Han smiled as she knew who it was.
It took Claude half a day to regain her consciousness.
Claude: Gosh I’m feel weak. That transformation drains alot from me.
She could smell the roasted meat and immediately brightened up.
Claude: Food!
She sprang and sank her teeth onto the huge meat.
Faire: Some gorillas won’t change.
Claude ignored her as she continued devouring the meat.
The group was already drinking their soup and there was this unfamiliar face.
Claude studied the girl.
She stared. And stared. Sideways. Top. Bottom.
There was a sweat breaking out behind her head as she transformed her head into the boa, sending Claude falling back.
The group laughed.
Faire: Gorillas will be gorillas.
Claude: Why you!
Minori: Meet Boa. Boa, she’s Claude.
Boa: I know. I saw her.
They shook hands and welcomed her to join the group.
Suddenly out of nowhere, Shadowcat appeared.
Shadowcat: Well done on acquiring the 3rd. But I have bad news for you. Something from darkness is tracking us, we may not have time to gather all ten. You need to hurry. We need to evacuate at most in a week.
Already the villagers are moving.
Claude: How do we fight without a full crew?
Shadowcat: That’s for you to find out.
Claude: Easier said than done. Where are we to find the rest of the generals?
Shadowcat: You don’t have to find them. They are already on their way.
Claude: How many?
Shadowcat: Beats me. Sometimes they come in battalions. So get ready. If they are fast, they will reach here in half a day.
Claude: What? I have yet to regain my full strength.
Shadowcat: Not for me to care.
Shadowcat vanished.
Claude was cursing and swearing.
Faire: Who says brute force can solve everything Gorilla. If I was fighting Boa, it will be over in mere seconds.
Claude: Boasting chief. Prove it to me then.
Boa too felt intimidated as it stood up and rose to the challenge.
The small framed Tree Sprite looked at Boa as she transformed itself.
Boa hissed at Faire.
But Faire showed no signs of fear as she took a yellowish powder out. Then sprinkled it on Boa.
Immediately Boa screamed and reverted back to its mortal form.
Claude stared blankly as her jaws dropped.
Claude: How did you do that?
Faire: Sulphur idiot. Sulphur. Brute force does not always work you know.
The group laughed their heads off and so did Boa.
The companions:
Claude - Leader of the fearsome trios
Minori - One of the fearsome trios
Yan - Daughter of Han
Han - Spirit of the fearsome trios
Faire - The tree sprite - 1st of the ten generals
Moon - The cursed witch - 2nd of the ten generals
Boa - The stone constrictor - 3rd of the ten generals

Now both Claude and Boa suffered injuries due to the duel.
Claude: How are we supposed to recover in time to fight them? Seeing the state I’m in and Boa.
Yan stood out and volunteered to help but Claude stopped her.
Claude: You need your strength Yan. We will find a way.
Han: There is. There is a waterfall south of here. Let me lead the way.

The day darkened quickly and soon everything was pitch dark. Yan summoned a fire bird that illuminated the path.
Han: Stop. Something’s wrong.
Without warning, the ground opened and they fell in.
Claude: What the?
Boa: Ahhhhh!
They fell into a huge lake. It was glittering under the hidden moon.
Their bodies glistered and glowed.
Steam appeared from their bodies and it seemed to swallow their tiredness and fatigue. It felt so comfortable that the group instantly fell asleep as they floated on the water as though there were beds.
Only Han was not affected by it but the time she discovered it, it was too late.
Then it closed.
They were swallowed by a huge venus flytrap.
And it takes three days for it to open.
Han: Crap. Oh crap.
The group slept for a good three days before Han could wake them up.
Claude: Feels so goooood!
She was stretching all her muscles.
Minori too was energised.
Han: No time to waste. We have to go off quickly. Quickly before it closes its mouth again.
Claude: Mouth? Isn’t this the lake?
Faire: Gorilla. Didn’t you discover something wrong? Open your eyes and see.
They took a look around. On the sides were dangling vines with dead dried animals hanging. There were bones too.
Boa: Holy crap. How long have we been shut out?
Han: A good three days.
Claude: Sharks!
Boa: Everyone, go on my back!
Boa said as she transformed herself, getting out of the trap.
They turned their heads and was astonished by the huge plant.
Yan: I’m glad we are out.
Faire: I don’t think so Yan. Look.
Boa landed herself as they suddenly stood in a circle.
What surrounded them was a huge army and they all seemed eager to make them their prey.
Minori: Uh oh.
Moon: Just like the cat said. They are all coming at once.
Claude: Suits me fine. I’m all ready. You guys? All ready?
They summoned their magic in defence, and all ready to strike.
The enemies blew the horns, signalling the start of the final battle in the forest.
Coffeecans Reads
The earth was shaking by the elephants running wild with the warriors riding on their back. Warriors carrying huge bows and spears; monsters with gigantic fangs were waiting for their master’s command to run wild. Archers awaiting their order.
Minori: There must be thousands of them.
Faire: The numbers are increasing too.
Han: This is not good. Not good. If I have been alive perhaps it would be over in a second.
Yan: What are we to do mum?
Moon: What do we do Captain?
The horn was sounded, giving the armies the signal to run wild.
Claude: Minori, take the back. We need to make a run for it. We can’t afford any casualties here. The rest of you do not have any combat experience.
The sky turned dark with volleys of arrows flying.
Immediately Claude asked the group to stay close.
Claude: Boa! Swirl around and protect us from the volley of arrows!
Boa immediately transformed, and the arrows broke like twigs. But the arrows were flying continuously.
Claude: This is getting irritating.
Minori was standing by for a chance to attack.
Claude: No one leave this circle for now.
Boa’s defence was not holding too well. It might be a matter of time that she would be exhausted from her transformation.
Minori: Can I go out and take them down?
Claude: Don’t stray. Alright. Here’s what we’ll do.
They nodded as they turned. Their backs facing back to back.
Yan summoned a huge shield, protecting them. Suddenly the roots of the trees came growing out from the ground, and wrapped themselves like a huge shield protecting the team.
Boa transformed back, exhausted.
Han: Let’s set an attack so huge that it will be of help. But we know it will exhaust the power, but I’m sure you all can do it.
Claude: Minori, weave out a huge bow.
Claude and Minori stepped out of Yan’s shield and stood out looking at the entire enemy.
Claude: White fire bolts.
In a single summon of magic, huge arrows were created as their were positioned in the ropes of Minori’s purple bow.
Minori: Hellish flame.
Her purplish flame curled around Claude’s white magic as they prepared for the launch.
Boa came out, tapped on their shoulders, as she added another dose.
Boa: Poison fang.
The arrows boiled with toxic with bubbled forming.
The trio smiled at each other as Boa took a step backwards.
Claude pulled the bow as far as she could.
The bow stretched as it enlarged, with it’s arrow locked hungrily.
Claude whispered: Arrow fangs, HYDRA.
She released the arrows.
The arrows multipled out in a fan shape, shot in a brilliant light as it transformed. The arrows became like huge anacondas, hungry for its prey.
In just a matter of seconds the entire battlefield was gone.
Everything went deadly quiet.
The sand was like a mist, making everything cloudy.
As the wind howled, they could see clearly.
There were only three survivors.
And there wasn’t any scratch on them at all.
Moon: This is bad. This is very bad.
The three walked in unison and you could hear their heavy footsteps.
Their eyes red with anger. One suddenly disappeared like a gust of wind.
Claude: Where is that fella?
She looked around.
Minori closed her eyes and used her instinct to track.
Nothing.
A punch came at Claude, causing her to cough out blood. She flew off a distance.
That stunned the group as they watch helplessly as the other two was getting closer.

Claude: Bloody hell. What was that?
She was panting now. Just who was that?
This time she was furious. She summoned her white fire magic and then charged towards her attacker.
Minori remained in her defense position.
Boa was too trying her best to find out where they were.
Yan, Moon and Faire were staying close to Han.
Claude: Yan, Moon, Faire, come inside the ring! You should be safe with us three holding the front.
There was silence.
Nothing moved.
Now Yan stood up. Clasped her hands and started to sing.
The trees were swaying gently with her voice. Yan continued.
Claude, Minori and Boa could tell what Yan was thinking.
They placed their arms on Yan’s shoulders, lending her their powers.
A swirl of purplish white flames engulfed Yan, where she glowed brilliantly. Boa too let her have her strength.
Yan closed her eyes while she sang.
The seeds on the ground sprouted upon her voice, swinging to her rhythm.
Now Moon placed her hand on Yan, reading the surroundings.
Yan was letting her voice act as a satellite, seeing where the enemies were.
With Moon’s enhancement, things were going as planned.
It was no long after they could sense their enemies.
Yan: Upheaval.
A huge fist rose from the ground, hitting one of the enemies hard and it was poisoned with Boa’s venom.
Moon opened her eyes: Reverse Lockup.
Moon turned her hands anticlockwise.
Tattoos started to appear from the enemy’s skin. interlocking their limbs.
Moon: Set.
It fell to the ground. Motionless.
And it revealed it’s true form.
A chameleon.
Now two more left. But it was harder than what Yan had expected.
Yan stopped for she sensed something amiss.
Han.
Was gone.
Coffeecans Reads
Minori: Han?
She was nowhere to be seen and they were getting exhausted.
Claude: Sharks. I’m running out of energy.
Boa: Yes. Me too.
Yan: Mum?
Faire: I’m tired. But there are still two remaining.
Moon: Something’s moving.
A blinding spark appeared and blinded them, as a deafening huge round club came swinging onto the victims, sending the defenders flying out.
Yan, Faire and Moon immediately lost their consciousness.
Claude was barely able to hold her ground as her legs were shaking now.
Minori was perhaps the one who got off barely wounded.
Boa was panting too and she then fainted due to exhaustion.
Claude: You alright Minori?
Minori: Yes.
Claude: I’m barely enough to take care of them.
Minori: Yup. Me too.
A huge gust of wind came and hit them like a hammer on a drum. They flew. Claude was barely able to stand up now. Minori was injured. They could hear laughter in the distance.
Claude: Could this be our end Minori?
Minori: No.. Claude.. you are stronger than that.
Claude suddenly froze as she felt a presence behind her. Before she could turn around, she was hit hard on her head.
She fell as her eyes rolled back.
There was a total silence and Minori was the only one left.
She knew she had to take care of this. Reluctantly she closed her eyes.
Minori whispered to herself: Last resort.
She clasped her fingers, forming a triangle sign.
Purple flames rose from the ground, swirling around her.
The attacker advanced on her but got repelled back. It hesitated for a while, not knowing what was wrong. It charged again and got repelled once more.
Minori’s eyes opened and she immediately stepped into another dimension.
Minori: Shadow Prism.
She could see now who the attacker was and she was shocked.
A double backed twin.
One uses a windpipe while the other a drum.
They were trying to locate where Minori was.
Minori: Got to end this fast. 3 minutes will end soon.
She closed her eyes.
Chanting her verses, her fingers forming a myriad of flames.
Minori: Shadow Shinobi.
Immediately she duplicated eight forms of her.
She then positioned herself above the twin.
Two shadow shinobi rose from the ground, each on one side. Ready to strike anytime.
Twin1: I’m going to slice her up with the wind slasher.
Twin2: I’m going to blow her up with my sound shatter drum!
Both the shinobis ran outwards, forcing the twins to be on the same spot.
Twin1: Let me go you idiot!
Twin2: Let me go you moron! I saw her first!
The twins started to quarrel amongst themselves.
Minori appeared suddenly on top of the twins, catching them off guard.
Minori: Shadowblade. Unlock level 2.
A huge sickle came slicing the twins into half.
Twins: AhhhhhhhH!
They shrieked as they fell to the ground.
Minori too lost her consciousness.

It took Claude two days to regain consciousness.
Claude: Argh.. my head hurts..
Minori and Boa was there to support her.
Claude: How long was I out?
Yan: 2 days Claude.
Claude: Argh!
Han stood beside Claude as she smiled.
Han: Look!
Claude looked and she saw the chameleon and the twins bowing down.
We are yours to command Claude. You have proved yourself worthy of our help.
Chameleon: My name is Lin
Twins: I am Kin and she is Min.
To count the strength:
Claude - Leader of the fearsome trios
Minori - One of the fearsome trios
Yan - Daughter of Han
Han - Spirit of the fearsome trios
Faire - The tree sprite
Moon - The cursed witch
Boa - The stone constrictor
Lin - Chameleon
Kin & Min - The twin windpipe drummers
Claude: 6 generals is all we’ve got instead of the ten. But I guess there’s not enough time.
Suddenly the cat appeared as it licked its paws.
It appeared suddenly beside Han and blew towards her head.
Immediately Han came to life. She could not believe herself.
Cat: The ten is now complete. Time to move off to your destiny.
It spoke as it blew in the air and the ten of them each equipped with a golden armour, and their strength restored. Their injuries healed in an instant.
Cat: Go now.
It slept on the ground, gray and monotonous.
Cat: Go.. leave me here. Perhaps my time is up. Perhaps.
Stars rose from the cat’s body as it vanished in thin air.
The atmosphere transformed itself as they stood on a dark barren field.
The otherwise familiar land.
They are back.

Bella woke up from her nightmare.
Bella: Something is wrong.
Her thumbs touched the tips of her slender fingers. And her heart raced.
And the pet crow she had. Was dead. What was this feeling? And her fingers was trembling by itself.
She stood up and then walked to the window, looking at the peculiar sky.
Bella: And so you are back you pests.
She summoned the order to strengthen the security around. Calling in the new generals that she had. But the place of meeting was in a secluded cave. This time, the meeting was held in the red moon, midnight.
Yan: Claude. I’m sensing a great evil presence and intentions. But I can’t track it.
Claude: It’s fine Yan. We should be able to handle it. For now. Let’s just take a good rest.
The pack nodded as they hid themselves well in the forest.
Minori then worked on hiding themselves as she weaved in the magic.
Bella thought the best way to prevent Claude from succeeding is to resort to this. It’s better to be safe than sorry. So she laid traps that none can detect. She weaved in the magic to the soil as it moved. Then made herself comfortable. A skull chair rose from the ground and bones started to float and decorate the entire interior.
Now Bella sat on it comfortably as she waited for the red moon. It’s going to be something that Claude would to have even thought possible.
Bella summoned Net as she was to make sure the entire team was here.
The generals arrived, fully equipped with their allocated weapons.
Leona: What’s the deal Bella?
She said as she went over to her, trying to intimidate Bella.
Bella rose, her eyes grew bright red as she said: Know your place Leona. You are this because of me.
Leona: Shall we try then.
She said as she licked her fingers. Leona then was on a stance, all ready to pounce and attack Bella.
Bella: Trash. Know your place.
Without even moving, Leona froze and then had all her blood sucked dry, leaving only a dried and wrinkled body left. The others watched as fear struck them.
Bella took up the dried corpse and threw it to where the generals were.
Bella: Any challengers?
There was a dead silence. And no one dared to say anything.
The moonlight shone in, giving the entire cave a blood grow.
Bella: The very need of this meeting is to tell you that the pests are back.
They stood in shock.
Bella: And I’m going to get all the powers we need. And I am not going to wait any longer.
Wind: But how?
Bella: Just like this.
Bella pointer to the moon as she scribbled.
Suddenly the entire sky turned dark and there wasn’t any light left.
Claude stood up suddenly.
Claude: This.. is really bad. There is no time to rest. Let’s go now!
Bella smiled as she turned to her generals.
Bella: I have sealed the moon for three days. There will be no light. And we will finish the fight before it!
Wind: But how? Are we attacking together?
Net appeared and replied: Yes. As one.
Wind: One?
The ground suddenly caught hold of the generals, like huge leeches as they sucked up every single drop of blood until there were nothing left. And they went to Bella.
Bella slurped as she wiped her mouth containing the blood stain.
Yan’s eyes turned white as she spoke with fear.
Yan: She. Ate them all. And is coming to us. NOW.
Claude arched her eyebrows and turned into another person.
Claude: Prepare ourselves. Hell is breaking loose.
Bella shrieked in happiness as the blood in the started fighting in her body. She covered her mouth as she coughed out blood. She chanted as she suppressed it with seals.
She let out a piercing scream that could send that chill right down to the spine. The shadow transformed into something that wasn’t fit to be called a monster. It was something far more terrifying.
Claude: I’ve got a really really bad feeling about this.
Yan suddenly foamed in her mouth as she lost her consciousness.
Next up: Last 2 episodes.
*Sorry for the long wait. Am going to finish the chapters.

Han touched the ground and immediately coughed up blood.
Han: The Red Moon.
Claude: Red what?
Minori: Darkness forged out of ancient evil. Where darkness reigns and blood sacrifice will engulf and dye the moon red. This is where all sins breaks loose and desire takes control. If your mind isn’t strong, you will lose yourself.
Yan: Three days of hell.
The team sat together, planning their next move.
Bella sat at the throne chair, pleased with her new found form. She was wearing the old rusted armour, with menacing claws that could just slice a mountain into two with just minimal strength. Her skin had turned pitch dark, and the blood veins were purple, her body curvaceous with full D cupped breasts, that balanced well with the firm ass that she had.
Bella: What great power. She could feel the energy coursing through her veins.
She threw her hands in the air and purple blood streams bursted to the skies, raining down on the town, melting the stone built houses, filling the desires of men where they raped and murdered. She laughed just hearing the screams of desperation and helplessness. She licked her lips with the snake like tongue of hers.
With a snap of fingers her armour vanished. She raised her fingers and several men rose from the ground. Satisfying her every need. They groped her and licked, fingering her and letting their prick in her.
In less than a few hours, the entire town became quiet. Deadly quiet. Dead and naked bodies of helpless women were all over. And murdered carcasses. What’s left were the only beasts that lost their sanity. Like lifeless zombies who only lust for kills.
Han could not contain her grief. She saw the madness as she convulsed.
Han: The entire town is dead.
That very sentence struck the team like a deathblow.
Yan: Can we turn it around?
Claude: Let’s beat the crap out of Bella!
Minori: Wait.
Twins: We need a plan. Seriously.
Faire: Moon I need your help.
Moon stood up and held Faire’s hand as Faire touched the ground.
Moon: By the forbidden curse, I summon thee.
From Faire’s hands rose a little creature that looks like a ginseng. It glowed gold in colour before it faded. Looking at both Faire and Moon.
Moon waved her fingers, and chanted as red ancient words appeared on its body.
Moon: Go.
It dug itself in the earth and was gone.
Claude: What the hell was that?
Boa: The concealed magic of the forbidden. Magic that will never be detected even by the most powerful. But it drains a lot on your body isn’t it?
Moon didn’t move at all and so did Faire.
Boa: Moon? Faire?
There was no response.
Flames lit from Minori’s fingers as they took a look at Moon and Faire.
They had already turned in stone.
The creature dug deep underground, leaving roots all over. As it was on it’s way towards the cave that Bella was in.
Han could hear a voice from within.
Then her eyes grew bright green as she projected a scene from where the little creature was, seeing everything. Moon and Faire was already on their way to scout Bella.
