Ascension The Last Heir

Chapter 10

Dylan draws his blasters and weaponry drones and fires at him while flying around him with his jetpack.

Victor draws his sword and strikes him. After a few strikes, Irvikh deflects him and thrash him down. Dylan throws grenades at him and makes a jump on him only to get grabbed by Irvikh.

"Shit." said Dylan as he draws his dagger and tries to stab him.

Irvikh throws him away before he could stab him but Victor uses this situation as a advantage as he whips him from below and strikes him in his face causing him to lose not only the helmet of Dra'king but damages his face so critically it leaves a mark.

"Enough!" said Irvikh as he begins to beam Victor using the corrupted energies from within himself.

Victor keeps blocking the beam as he slowly loses strength and almost leans on the ground with the sword blocking the beam.

This gives opportunity for Dylan to strike as he takes back his dagger from the ground and punctures into his eye.

This makes Irvikh furious as he draws dark energies from the armor much more than he was supposed to, blasting within himself, knocking down both Victor and Dylan as they were closer.

The armor begins to melt into his skin and twisting him into a demonic being. Irvikh, in his new and much more powerful form, takes his sword and strikes rapidly on Victor.

Victor tries his best deflecting him but ultimately falls prey to Irvikh's final blow.

Dylan despite being injured for getting knocked out earlier stands up and runs to Victor who has fallen victim to Irvikh's blow. "Cyrus, Cyrus! Come on, wake up man.... please don't..." said Dylan.

He then stands up and takes Victor's sword and rushes to strike Irvikh who is taken by suprise, but Irvikh stands up and begins to strike Dylan rapidly, Dylan tries to deflect each strike but his sword gets thrown away by one of Irvikh's strike.

Dylan, now completely unarmed gets ready to accept his fate. "Go ahead, finish it." said Dylan, Irvikh puts down the sword spares him

"This is your final warning prince, cross me again and I won't be so merciful." said Irvikh as he proceeds to walk away from the tomb.

Dylan rushes back to Victor only to find him still conscious and gravely injured.

Suddenly a ship blasts its way through the passage and lands in the tomb. Commander Bennett and Marcus arrive from the ship onto the scene afterwards the Empire's fleet arrives at the scene where they witness Victor, defeated and in unconscious state.

Few moments later, at the Empire's Infirmary, Dylan recovering over his defeat still grieves over Victor's fate. Then, Commander Bennett arrives to visit him. "How is he?" asked Dylan.

"He has suffered multiple injures but he will live, so how you holding up?" asked Commander Bennett.

"Every time someone tries to gets closer to me, they get hurt, don't they? First my mom, then Chrissy and now... God knows what happened to Mike." said Dylan.

"Michael is safe, look kid, things may not seem great right now but, I just wanted to know...what you did today. Your mother would have been..." said Commander Bennett before was interrupted by Dylan.

"This isn't over, not yet. That bastard is going to pay for what he did." said Dylan. "What the hell is wrong with you?? This attitude right here, is what got your mother killed in the first place, look at Victor, do you wanna end up like that?" asked the Commander furiously.

Just then Marcus arrives at the scene. "My Prince, I know how you feel, but Bennett is right, you barely survived with him the last time let alone without Victor this time?" said Marcus.

"What do you want me to do then? Let that bastard slip away with what he did?" asked Dylan.

"To defeat the King of the Wretched Legion, you will more than just weapons, you will need allies, friends, only as the Viscount of the Empire may you can destroy him once and for all." said Marcus.

“So that's what this is about, here I thought you might have actually cared about him (he grabs Dylan and speaks to him in private) listen kid, this people aren't just asking you on a picnic trip okay?

If you go down this path, there's no coming back, you understand? It's not what your mother would have wanted." said Commander.

 "She isn't here? Is she? (Dylan pushes away the Commander's hand from his shoulder) If becoming a Viscount means I have a chance to take down that bastard, I am doing it, no matter what it takes." said Dylan.

 “So that's how it's going to be, okay then, your funeral, maybe one day you will understand." said the Commander as he leaves the ship. Dylan proceeds to the window where he sees a devastated ruin,

"Set course for Ver'mont, I will ascend the throne." said Dylan to Marcus.

The ships of the Empire begin to launch and heads back into space as Commander Bennett turns back to see him one last time, then leaves back to his duties.
