Vojim observed, "He was drowning them, now he's melting them."
Cyro panicked, "Noooooo! We're going to die here!"
Kyll urged, "No, we're going to have to use our new last chance, brother. Grab my hand!"
Cyro hesitated, "Last chance..."
Kyll insisted, "Just get over here!"
Their hands connected, and Kyll stabbed Cyro's hand. Cyro cried out in pain, "What are you doing, brother?"
Kyll revealed, "The same way he has hidden power, so do you, brother. Live to fight on."
Cyro's eyes widened in shock as he felt an intense energy coursing through his body. (AWK URGHHHHHHHHHHHH RWAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH OWWWWW URHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH AWAAAAAA TARARARARARATATATATTATFFGGGGGGGG)
A massive purple aura filled the fire waterfall as Cyro underwent a transformation. His body began to contort and twist, his screams echoing through the arena.
Kyll encouraged, "You were chosen for a reason, brother. You are the one, brother, the one who will rule all kingdoms aside Master Genjo. Time to go all out, brother!"
Cyro's transformation reached its climax as he let out a deafening roar. However, just as suddenly, the storm stopped, and Cyro's body began to shrink.
Genjo appeared, grabbing Cyro in mid-air. He held Cyro's hand, and with a swift motion, turned him back to his regular form, rendering him unconscious.
Kyll fell to the ground, but someone caught him. Renjo's voice echoed, "Ha! This kid almost melted you, huh?" Cough, cough.
Zenjo observed, "The kid was quite formidable."
Genjo and Tenjo appeared, floating above the arena sky. The four hooded figures hovered: their presence ominous.
Genjo spoke, "So this is where they were hiding..."
Rouke shouted, "The barriers are down! Let's attack!"
Genjo held up his hands, "No, no, no, Rouke! My siblings and I want no problems... yet. Plus, I have a little one from your village. You don't want to risk killing him, do you, buddy?"
Genjo opened his arms, revealing the young boy he put to sleep earlier when they first arrived, the boy now stuck in a daze.
Rouke's eyes widened in shock, "No, that was his mission!"
Genjo sneered, "You see, this kid here, as he sleeps all cuddled and comfortable, has no idea he is my next great warrior. You've seen Cyro and Kyll in action, but this kid's curse will be even greater. That was my mission all along: to seek the chosen child who will carry on one of the most stubborn and darkest curses ever."
Genjo's laughter sent chills down Rouke's spine, "By the way, I hope you throw his mama and daddy the greatest funeral ever. They tried so hard to protect him... hahahahahahaha!"
Rouke's anger boiled over, "Genjo, when I get my hands on you, I will kill you!"
Tenjo observed, "Hey, brother, this kid here (looks at Raiza) has an extreme power level. Maybe I'll kill him right here, so he won't be a nuisance in the future."
Genjo intervened, "No, no, brother, we have other plans. We'll leave them with a little gift, though. Tenjo, do you mind?"
Tenjo nodded, a sinister grin spreading across his face.
Tenjo raised his hand, and a swarm of bat-like demons emerged from the ground, filling the air with their eerie screeches. Simultaneously, three-headed snake beasts appeared all over New Babylon, their menacing hisses sending shivers down the spines of the villagers.
Raiza charged towards Renjo with a full-powered hit, but Renjo teleported behind him and touched his shoulder. Raiza's body plummeted towards the ground like an asteroid, but just as he was about to crash, a majestic eagle swooped in and saved him.
Adon sat proudly on the front of the eagle, "You did amazing, son. Time to rest; it's our turn."
Sol observed, "That guy took Raiza out with just a finger tap?"
Ark instructed, "All of you, go get everyone out of the village. I'll have my bots help."
Hela jumped down, "Sol, you were so amazing. We'll take care of everything from here."
Sol reflected, "I failed, my lady..."
Hela reassured, "No, Sol, you were the perfect leader today."
Vojim praised, "Khayjin, Zeyta, you all were truly special to watch. You inspired me to become even stronger. Now, we'll protect you all."
Rouke urged, "Khayjin, Zeyta, I'm... I'm wondering why you all aren't out there helping the others already. Get going!"
Khayjin hesitated, "Umm, OK..."
Adon mourned, "Kayge, my son... noooooo! He's gone!"
Adon gently lifted Kayge's body and placed him on the eagle with Raiza. "Nobu, go with the eagle. It will bring you to safety."
Nobu refused, "Father, I will continue to protect the village with the others. Please allow me to stay."
Adon's concern was palpable, "I can't lose you, Nobu. I already..."
Zane intervened, "Don't underestimate him, Master Adon. He's intelligent and strong. Allow him to fight by our side."
Adon relented, "Okay, son, get to work."
The Anointed team sprang into action, working together to save and protect the villagers, escorting them out of New Babylon.
Zenjo sneered, "Allow me to throw them all off a little bit."
With a swift motion, Zenjo summoned portals behind himself and threw knives through them. Other portals appeared next to the Anointed team, and the knives shot out at them.
Vojim swiftly responded, summoning a horde of skeletons to block the knives. The skeletons absorbed the impact, protecting the Anointed team.
Zenjo laughed maniacally, "Ooooooo, the traitor, huh? Haha, OK, Boneman, let's spice it up!"
Genjo cackled, "No don't waste time. We're outta here. We got the kid... but we can leave them with a Leviathan, hahaha."
The Demon Kings departed, leaving behind a horde of demons and imps.
Rouke angrily echoed, "Nooooo, Genjooooooooooooo….!"
The leaders sprang into action, determined to protect their people. Adon summoned a massive elemental gorilla, which began crushing demons and battling the Leviathan snake.
Hela donned a blue crown, her swords flashing as she killed demons left and right. Her swords grew larger, destroying demons with graceful precision.
Ark summoned a humanoid mech-like suit, equipped with a saber and cannon. He rapidly eliminated demons, his suit glowing with energy.
Vojim conjured huge skeletal warriors, which took down every demon in their path.
Rouke watched his comrades fight, his eyes fixed on the crumbling New Babylon. He saw the devastation, the chaos, and the bravery of his people.
Kari approached Rouke, "Master Rouke, I'm okay. But this is terrible."
Rouke: "Have Gavon and Tega bring everyone to one area. Plan V will take effect soon..."
Kari nodded, "Plan V, are you sure Master Rouke it's gonna take a huge toll on you."
Rouke: "Do as I ask Kari. There will be instructions locked in my quarters. You know the passcode to my vault. There's a scroll in there. Read it with the other Masters. It's all the intel I've gathered."
The Anointed, Elites, and villagers fought valiantly, determined to survive. Rouke observed, ensuring everyone was in position.
Adon shouted, "The demons won't stop! This is too much! If we didn't have to protect people, this would have been done!"
Hela agreed, "Rouke, what's the plan?"
Ark added, "They won't stop pouring in!"
Rouke charged up his energy building. (BOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMM! RUMBLE RUMBLE RUMBLE RUMBLE!)
The entire arena, New Babylon, shook violently. Demons began to fall to the ground, frozen in place.
Scene switches to Dynoxa...
"Excuse me, President Natas. We have severe spiritual activity taking place towards the northern part of the Shadowlandz," an aide reported.
Natas' expression turned grave. "Demon, Anointed, Beast? What type of energy readings are we seeing?"
"All of them combined, sir," the aide replied.
Natas' eyes narrowed. "Hmmmmm... I see warfare taking place. It has been extremely quiet as of late. Send two nuclear bombs in that direction. Have two Shadowalkerz drop them off – front door service."
The aide hesitated, "Sir, that blast radius could kill most of the people in surrounding areas."
Natas' response was cold and calculating. "Ask me how much I care. Cursed, Anointed, demon, angel... I don't give two craps. Blow them out of the water."
The aide nodded, "Yes, sir." The commander picks up the phone. "Emergency alert: two elite Shadowalkerz will be delivering nuclear bombs to location NM105634ezs. No restraints."
A voice crackled over the comms system, "Heavy spiritual activity identified. Requesting Shawn Yen and Roland Blanch as commanders for Shadowalker mechs. Expected leave in one minute."
The two men sprang into action, heading to their mechs at once. They jumped into the mech style suits, and the nuclear bombs attached to their backs.
The mech's AI announced, "Now leaving Dynoxa. Estimated arrival time: one hour thirty eight minutes. Speeds: 800 miles per hour. Launching... three... two... one..." (WABOOOOOOMMMM!)
Back to New Babylon...
Arks wrist starts beeping...
Robot AI reads:
"NUCLEAR POWER DETECTED"
Ark shouted, "Oooo crap! We've got nuclear bombs heading this way! Rouke, Dynoxa must have detected all this spiritual energy!"
Rouke shouted, "Yes, I'm well aware! I need everyone to get down, get as close as possible. Keep your heads down and don't move when I yell 'freeze'!"
Hela asked, "What is he doing?"
Vojim replied, "Not sure, but his power is currently higher than all ours combined. This can't be reality."
Ark warned, "Bombs will hit in one hour thirty minutes!"
Adon alerted, "Demons are getting back up, and the Leviathans are approaching as well."
Rouke unleashed a mighty roar, "RWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"
Gavon urged, "We can't keep laying down; demons are coming! Rouke, come onnnn!"
Khayjin feared, "Are we gonna die here?"
Rin observed, "Wait, I've seen this image before... it's the same technique Master Ezon used."
Rouke jumped into the air, clapped his hands together, and declared, "Heaven's Divide!"
A massive white light appeared, and everything shook violently.
(BEAAAAAAAAAAAAAM)
(BO BOOM SHIMKKKKKKKKKKLKK!)
(WOM WOM WOM.).. COMPLETE SILENCE.
Everything turned white, and then...
(FLASH!)
(BOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!)
All everyone sees is white for a quick second. Then everyone sees a sky…
Vojim exclaimed, "Oooo wait a minute! I see a new sky, new air, surrounded by water. He moved us to an entirely new area!?"
Everyone was shocked, gazing around at the unfamiliar surroundings. Birds filled the sky, and the air was fresh.
Khayjin asked, "Whatttttttttt? How can you do that?"
Ark: "Wait a minute, did he just transport us across the country? According to my tracker, we moved from Minnesota all the way to Vermont. How is that possible?"
As everyone slowly got to their feet, they realized they were in a completely different location. The demons were gone, and they found themselves outdoors in a breathtakingly beautiful area.
Khayjin looked around, frantically searching for Master Rouke. He sprinted towards the upper cliff where Rouke had been standing. Upon arrival, he saw Kari standing at the edge of the cliff, with Rouke kneeling on the ground, completely still.
Kari turned to Khayjin as the other Anointed, alongside the Masters, slowly approached.
"He's told me for years that he's had a move like this," Kari said, gazing back at Rouke. "I didn't know if it was possible, but he also warned me that if he used this ability, he would most likely fall into a coma for a while."
Kari's expression turned resolute. "Which means everything else falls on us until he wakes up. He told me to retrieve a scroll that will have all the plans needed for our next move. I will do my best to carry out his will until he awakens."
Kari surveyed the surroundings, a determined look on her face. "This will be our new home. We must rebuild."
And with that, the story concludes Season 1 of ShadowlandZ
A message from the author, Parker: "Thanks to everyone who has read Season 1 of ShadowlandZ. We will be returning for Season 2 next year. Stay tuned for updates! You all have been amazing, and you are the Light Walkerz that we need to purify these lands. Until next time, Parker out!"
