Lucifero's frustration reached its peak as Angeleva's relentless assault continued. Every punch, every blast of her Fairy-Devil Beams struck with devastating force. The fairy's newfound strength, fueled by her fierce emotions and Safari's unwavering support, overwhelmed the demon general.
"Enough!" Lucifero snarled, his voice trembling with rage. "You dare humiliate me? ME?! I am Lucifero, a ruler of the underworld! I will not be mocked!"
His once angelic form twisted further, half of his body darkening with thick, ominous energy. One of his wings, once pristine white, now pulsed with devilish black veins. His eyes burned with malice, and his aura warped the air around him.
"He's... changing!" Zack stammered, gripping Jen's arm in fear.
"That's not good," Jen murmured, her face pale.
Olive clenched her fists. "Stay calm. Big bro and Big sis can handle this. They have to."
Angeleva hovered mid-air, her breathing heavy, but her eyes remained fierce. Safari, still tied to her back, panted weakly. He could feel the growing power radiating from Lucifero — a surge of overwhelming darkness.
"You ready for this?" Safari whispered.
Angeleva nodded, determination burning within her. "Always."
Lucifero wasted no time. He shot forward with terrifying speed, his twisted form slashing through the air. The battle reignited, but this time, it was fiercer than ever. The ground quaked with each collision of their powers.
Angeleva countered his brutal strikes with her swift agility, launching her beams while weaving through his attacks. Despite the weight of Safari on her back, she moved with incredible grace.
Safari, though weakened, lent his presence — his devil energy still mingling with hers, empowering her strikes.
But Lucifero wasn't holding back. With a furious roar, he summoned waves of dark tendrils, lashing them out at the duo. Angeleva barely managed to deflect them, her wand glowing with divine energy.
"You pests!" Lucifero seethed, his movements becoming more savage. "I'll crush you both!"
The two sides clashed in a series of rapid exchanges, their powers colliding in massive explosions. Neither side gave an inch, the sky flickering with violent flashes.
"He's getting stronger!" Angeleva growled, sweat trickling down her forehead.
"Then so will we," Safari murmured, his voice faint but resolute.
She pushed on, her fists glowing with fairy energy, her beams shining brighter with each blast.
Lucifero retaliated, roaring in frustration as he failed to gain the upper hand. Blow after blow, he was forced back, his arrogance shattered.
"Why... can't I destroy you?!" Lucifero bellowed, his face contorted in fury.
Angeleva glared back at him, her wings shimmering. "Because we're fighting for something you'll never understand!"
But just as it seemed the tides had fully turned, Lucifero's patience snapped.
"ENOUGH!"
His body trembled with uncontrollable rage. Dark energy surged from him like a storm. The air grew unbearably heavy as a sphere of swirling black energy began to form in his hands, crackling with unimaginable power.
"Die!" Lucifero roared.
With a ferocious blast, he unleashed a massive wave of darkness. Angeleva, caught mid-air, had no time to react. The attack struck with devastating force, sending her and Safari plummeting toward the shattered ground.
The impact was brutal. Dust and debris erupted into the air, obscuring their fallen forms.
"Big bro! Big sis!" Zack screamed, rushing forward.
Jen and Olive followed, their hearts pounding. Even Ian, who had been nervously documenting the battle, lowered his camera, too overwhelmed to speak. His trembling hands could no longer press the record button.
Lucifero, now towering above the wreckage, sneered with satisfaction.
"Fools. You were never my equals."
But the battle wasn't over yet. As the dust began to settle, the faint glimmer of pink and green energy could still be seen beneath the rubble. Lucifero's twisted smile faded as he realized — they were still alive.
"I won't let you escape your fate!" Lucifero roared.
With a wicked grin, he raised his hands, forming a colossal black sphere above him — his most devastating attack yet. The air around it distorted, the sheer gravitational force pulling everything toward it.
"This is the end!"
The family could only watch in horror, their desperate cries drowned out by the roaring energy. Ian, too afraid to speak, lowered his gaze, his body trembling.
Angeleva and Safari, still tied together, lay on the cracked ground. Safari's weakened breaths and trembling body made it clear he was barely holding on. Angeleva, though exhausted, kept a protective arm around him.
"Run..." Safari weakly murmured, his voice barely audible. "You all... need to run... now."
But the family stood firm after noticing them. Zack, Jen, Ian, and Olive each gritted their teeth, defying the order.
"No!" Zack shouted, his small hands trembling. "If we die, we die together!"
"You're our family, big bro!" Jen added, tears streaming down her face.
Ian, no longer holding his camera, clenched his fists. "I can't just stand back and watch! We're with you!"
"And we'll keep fighting, no matter what!" Olive declared.
Angeleva was overwhelmed, not by fear, but by the sheer love and loyalty radiating from her family. She looked into their determined eyes and knew she couldn't give up.
"This isn't over," she whispered, gripping her wand tightly as she forced herself to transform.
Lucifero's laughter echoed through the air. "Fools. Your defiance means nothing. Perish together!"
The black sphere above him began to descend, growing larger with every moment. The very ground cracked beneath its gravitational pull. It was only a matter of time before it would consume them all.
But then, a thought struck Angeleva.
"There's still one thing we can try," she said suddenly, her voice filled with resolve. "Everyone, hold hands with me!"
The family hesitated for a moment but quickly obeyed. Zack was the first to grab her trembling hand, followed by Jen, Ian, and Olive. Their circle tightened, bound by desperation and love.
"Zack," Angeleva instructed, "focus on connecting us. Transfer our energy together. Make it one."
Zack nodded, his face serious. "I'll try!"
He closed his eyes, his hands glowing with a gentle light. The warmth spread through the circle, binding them all together. It was no longer just power — it was the unshakable bond of family.
Angeleva, still physically connected to Safari, could feel the devil-fairy energy flowing through her. Now, with the added energy from the family, it surged like a blazing star. Her wand glowed brighter than ever before, trembling with the sheer force it held.
"Unity..." she whispered, feeling the immense power gathering in her hands.
A divine light and shadow merged pink-green sphere began to form at the tip of her wand — a perfect fusion of their combined powers.
The energy was unlike anything she had ever felt. It was not only having there powers but it was also projecting their determination, bonds and emotions. It was stronger than their Fairy-Devil Unity attack. It pulsed with light and dark energy in perfect harmony.
"This... This is our last stand!" she cried. "This is Unity Blast!"
