Through the gust of dust came several refined air blades followedby a charging Tuskin who was reaching out straight for Eiser with his one hand stretched outward. Eiser quickly reacted and electrocuted him with a powerful shock that slammed him into the ground. Yet Tuskin stood up again going more and more berserk as he took damage which put Eiser at a disadvantage.
Electeicty was coming out Eiser's body as Tuskin now with a menacing smile on his face stood before him. This infuriated Eiser a little. So he dashed again and created an electric sword in his hand. He then battled him in a sword fight in a means to find an opening for himself to attack. The dash and strike combo of Eiser didn't last long as Tuskin's destructive force overcame it all with ease. Tuskin then charged towrds Eiser again and this time got ahold of him. Being choked from his throat, Eiser grunted. Tuskin smirked and slammed him into a wall ruthlessly. The wall broke down and water started to come out of here aswell. A bruised and broken Eiser remained as he could do nothing in that agony.
Breathing heavily it reminded him of the horror the children must have faced as they screamed constantly. The despairy trauma that must've enveloped them as they called out for help on Eiser's way here. For the voices alone were horrific enough for Eiser to lose his composure. Yet he considered the pity of children with which they called for hope.
It also remineded Eiser of his purpose. The oaths he took and the hope he gave. To the people that were their with him waiting for his help. The pledge he took to protect and the path he chose to follow to someday be able to find his father. It all flashed in the mind of Eiser as his consciousness was about to fade. Suddenly he started to see that mysterious light again. That firefly like light that guided Eiser towards his purpose. The light that kickstarted Eiser's journey had appeared again.
The light went towards the standing Tuskin and vanished. But it seemed as if Eiser was the only one that was able to see that light as the light didn't bother Tuskin at all.
So Eiser got up, coughing out blood, he gathered strength.
"Is that all you've got kid? That's too bad. All when i was about to get excited."
Tuskin said. Mocked Eiser of his incompetence.
"Heh... (he smirked). You know, I have people waiting for me. So let's end this already!"
He said as he built up strength and electrified completely.
Jolts of electricity came out of Eiser's body as he smirked. Tuskin also grinned as both approached with delight towards eachother.
Eiser with his Electric blades and Tuskin with his Air blades, both battled it out with everything they had. It looked like Eiser had finally started to enjoy the battle himself too. The brutal smiles on thier faces as they slammed eachother down into the forming puddle of water on the ground. The battle had heated ominously. In the heat of the battle Eiser learned long ramge range attacks like creating whips of Electricty and shooting electricty out from his hands.
Tuskin on the other hand, couldn't learn anything. So finally Eiser had grown equal to or become an even bigger monster than Tuskin.
The Jolts coming out of Eiser's body were now deadly and Tuskin now tired yet still stood tall. He equiped blades of Air, exhausted as he was, while Eiser smirked at him as if looking down on him. The elcetricity constantly fueled his energy so he also stood tall but with a growing power, yet to be refined.
Eiser controlled the elcetricity coming out of his right hand and started to apply some pressure. A huge spark of energy started to gather as he stretched his right arm back struggling to gather energy. Tuskin seeing the bright sprak was in utter and absolute shock. So he grunted in anger and desperation and started to charge violently towards Eiser.
The spark of electricty concentrated and Eiser's final attack was complete. It was the result of all his hardwork throughout this long battle. So Eiser also charged with a concentrated lightening bolt in his hand, smirking with great delight.
"DIVINE PUNISHMENT"
Eiser shouted as his lightning bolt crashed with Tuskin's weak Air blades. The Air blades and Tuskin's destructive force soon gave up and the lightning struck right into him creating a giant shock and explosion all over. The explosion destroyed the entrance door as well as the ground and Eiser and Tuskin fell on lower level of the basement where the children were.
Tuskin had finally fallen. He was found unconscious in the middle of broken rocks in the puddle of increasing water. Yet the problem still remained. The metal gate was still not open and now the only access to it—the button had probably been destroyed as now Tuskin's room had been to rubble.
In this condition of crisis, Eiser and Anastasia had to find a way to transport everyone to the upper level of the basement. As it was the only way left to rescue the children. Yet nobody had the energy nor the abilities to do anything in that situation.
So Sandy, the little brave hero who lead Eiser and Arkas there, stood up. After being one shot by Julia, Sandy had gained strength to move now.
When even Eiser was with a broken limb and Anastasia was also drained. There was still somebody left who had been protected and had now grown to protect. So Sandy came forward and from the midst raised his voice.
"I will take care of the rest. Umm... I can manipulate small rocks you see"
He said while everyone was in a dilemma.
Eiser's eyes widened with delight and his cheeks lit up brightly as he said that.
"Way to go Sandy! You're the best man!!"
He said as if to hype him up.
So sandy began to concemtrate and eith his little power he manipulated some rocks and lifted them in the air. Some children stepped up on the rocks and using all his strength Sandy transported them onto the upper level. He did that for everyone until only Ana and Eiser were left behind.
Sandy then asked Ana to come aboard whose eyes were fixated on Julia who had collapsed from a sudden mental breakdown. Eiser noticed that carried both Tuskin and Julia on his shoulders, relieving Anastasia. All of them finally reached the upper level of the basement. Upon where Arkas and Uzikiel were, faint and down.
Yet suddenly Arkas regained consciousness and in a state of hurry they all went upwards to the church through the hole Eiser and the others came down. Apparently their were bars to climb uo and down and Arkas just wanted to make a flashy entrance. So he jumped from there and Eiser and Sandy followed. The Children were transported safely to the ground level of the church.
Surprisingly enough, Captain Stincer was waiting for them, dozing off while sitting in one of the pews. He suddenly woke up and his cunning eyes met a tired Eiser's.
"Maaaannnn!! Who knew the rumored Chained Dogs had this Church under thier control huh?"
He spoke.
Eiser's gaze turned sharp as tension appeared on everyone else's face.
"Well, Its great that you kids beat them now isn't it?. Now, I would humbly request you to hand over these Children to us Police. As the law should be."
Ana blatantly disagreed to this as her face teared up.
"What did you say!?"
She said. She was about to say some more harsh things but Eiser stopped her by lifting his hand.
Ana stopped but the concern and worry on her face could be seen vividly through a common eye.
"And what do you plan to do with them?"
Eiser inquired.
"Well as you know, those are kidnapped children. We would return them to thier families through the complaints and reports we have from thier parents or guardians."
Stincer's reply came.
The sharp look in Stincer's eyes suggested something else. But they had no choice but to agree as they were already tired from fighting all night and Eiser had contemplated that it was not a right time for them to make an enemy out of the Police department. So they agreed with Policeman's terms and decided to hand over the children to Stincer.
Yet a blond little girl from the children who had grown very close to Anastasia's care reluctantly refused.
"No! Mila doesn't want that! Mila wants to sat with Big sis Ana!"
She said and openly refused to leave.
Her older brother, Xavier, startled by what her little sister said, stopped her. And the two started to quarrel there about going or not. Eiser chuckled as he saw that and pat on both the kids heads.
"Don't worry kids! Uncle Policeman will drop you off home safe! Your mama and papa might be waiting for you yknow? Don't you want to see them?"
Eiser said. Convincing the the little Mila to go with the policeman.
While Mila, saddened by the fact that she will be saperated from Ana, lit up by hearing about her mother.
"Then let me take Big sis with me!"
The little girl insisted.
Anastasia was shocked and embarrassed a bit as she said that and was about to refuse but Eiser continued.
"Well you cant take her directly. But... We will come and visit you alright?"
Eiser convinced her and she agreed.
Then Stincer took all the Children with him and left. The three executives of the Chined dogs were still unconsious. Stincer asked his men to bring chains and take them to Jail immediately while leaving.
Now only the four people who lead the charge remained. Eiser, Arkas, Sandy and Anastasia. They were somewhat happy that they saved the children and why wouldn't they be? It was a moment to enjoy. Indeed.
Yet after laughing with eachother for abit, Eiser told them that it was only half of what they had intended to accomplish. They still had to take care of the Chained dogs that runned in the Fade City. The ones that even the Phantom Troop fell against. The Chained dogs that were on another scale then the ones they just faced. So they had to grow stronger, for themselves and for the ones they had to protect.
With new challenges lying ahead the four joined thier fists to celebrate.
This moment started their new jounerys filled with turbulent difficulties and reveals. And the four were determined and ready for that!

Tips:
Eiser and the others now head towards the Fade City for more smoke!
