Their day of reckoning has finally come

With our allies aid now guaranteed we were ready to take down the Triad once and for all. Lucid, Zyanya, Mogg and the Black Skull pirates were going to meet the Triad at sea, to initiate trade of the dragon egg and keep a large amount of the Triad forces busy.
 
Meanwhile, Syrus, Saib and Saib's Solen buddies would take out the guards at the Triad base. Once the guards were taken out Arthom would break into the base with the Gleam boys to rescue Yifeng. Ko Rava and I, with the help of the Yakuza and the Aurelian Elves Mafia, would fight the remaining Triad at the base.

Adrenaline coursed through my veins as I made my way to the Triad's base with Gallant, Ko Rava, the Yakuza and the Aurelian Elves. Cousin Vinny and the Yakuza Boss, who Ko Rava called Oyabun, were also with us. I felt it was a testament to their leadership that they were fighting with their people instead of staying in the safety of their own bases. Cousin Vinny was being his usual boisterous self which was such a contrast to Oyabun’s reserved demeanor. They seemed to have nothing in common, so I was surprised when Oyabun revealed his father was an Aurelian elf. He was related to Cousin Vinny through his father's side of the family. He gave me the impression that the came from pure Leishu heritage, it seems you can’t judge a book by its cover.
 
I stood at the front entrance of the Triad base with Ko Rava at my side and pondered the possibility of this battle going badly. If I was to die, I was grateful that I would at least die fighting beside a friend. I shared this sentiment with her and she responded that she was glad to be fighting her enemy with a friend. I appreciated her kind words and exclaimed that we would defeat any Triad that came at us.
 
The doors swung open and Triad members poured out of the building. With my bow and arrows, Gallants teeth and claws and Ko Rava's magic we defeated multiple Triad members. Oyabun's skill with the blade was impressive and he struck down Triad members with ease. At one point it looked like we were going to be overrun, but luckily some more Aurelian elves turned up and with our combined efforts we defeated every Triad member that came at us. Ko Rava, Gallant and I then ran into the base, but not before Oyabun told Ko Rava that he was proud of her. I am glad that she got to hear those words of encouragement from him.

We found the rest of the Misfits inside and i was relieved that Yifeng was okay. Her mother was on our side this time and insisted that we stop Yifeng's Uncle Zao, now i had a name for him other than bastard. It was not long before we located Zao and i noticed he wore a mask over half of his face. Arthom used his magic to burn the mask of Zao's face before he had a chance to attack us, then Lucid threw a dagger into Zao's gut. I imbued an arrow with magic and nocked it into my bow, then i shot it into his chest hoping to restrain him with the thorny vines that started growing from the arrow. Unfortunatley this did not work and Zao ripped apart the vines before they could fully bind him. At least Syrus was able to wound him with some golden looking arrows.
 
Zao blasted a magical shockwave at us and most of us avoided it expect for Mogg and Arthom. Thank goodness Arthom was okay but Mogg got knocked out and was about fall on top of me. The last thing i expected was for Mogg's large form to cause a life-threatening situation for me, luckily Gallant ran in front of me just in time and held back Mogg's body. Then Lucid used his shadow powers to prop Mogg up into a sitting position. Yifeng attempted to punch Zao in the face but the punch did not land. I was fearful he was going to seriously hurt her but thankfully Ko Rava and Zyanya stopped him with their magic before he had a chance to.
 
Our fight with Zao was going relatively well compared to the last time we faced him and then more Triad members charged into the room. Ko Rava was able to defend herself against a guy twice her size and sliced him in half with her sword. Lucid killed a number of them with a lethal combination of his daggers and shadow powers
 
I motioned to Gallant to attack the remaining Triad members but they quickly overwhelmed him and started hurting him. When I heard his yelps of pain it felt like an arrow to my heart and an overwhelming sense of rage started to build up inside me. The hurt I felt from my father’s disappointment plus memories of when I was bullied fuelled my rage even more.
 
I noticed that I had started glowing and then heard Skipan’s blessed voice say to me ‘Let them hear you’. I roared and intense beams of Lunar light shot out of my hands. I directed the beams at the Triad members hurting Gallant and they were blasted away. I then shot the beams at the nearby ceiling, causing the floor above to collapse onto a group of Triad running into the room. I howled to the sky in triumph and then glared at Zao and imitated a blade going across the throat, as an indication that his death was imminent.
 
More Triad reinforcements flooded into the room and seconds later music filled the air. For a moment it felt like time stood still as everyone in the room watched Zyanya and Zeno dance, until their dancing turned deadly killing multiple Triad members. Syrus killed the remaining Triad members with a barrage of golden arrows that he had summound. Zao grabbed Ko Rava and was about to blast her with his magic however Yifeng used her magic to throw a gust of wind at him and pushed him away from Ko Rava. Even though Yifeng’s strong winds were surrounding him it was not enough to keep him down, not even after Arthom's magic caused burning thorns to blow with the wind and give Zao multiple deep cuts.
 
Arthom was finally able to restrain Zao with thick vines that dragged him to the floor. I threw a Lunar bolt of magic at Zao adding to his multiple wounds and then Syrus landed the final blow on Zao. He placed his hands on the side of Zao's head and next minute Zao's flesh started burning till there was nothing but a blackened skull, there was no way Zao was coming back from that. Our mission was a success and the Triad's influence in Zyniii had finally come to an end.
