Leon Chronos has just killed Hell Lord, but used up all of his magical and life energy in the process. with no strength left in him, he falls from the sky and lands with tremendous force.
Leon Chronos: Ow. (Leon groans as he lies in a massive crater)
Mr Perfect: Leon are you okay? (Perfect asks as he rushes over to his injured friend)
Leon Chronos: You're alive. I'm so glad. (Leon says weakly as his skin becomes pale)
Mr Perfect: Don't worry about me, you need to get healed as soon as possible. (Perfect says as he tries to carry Leon)
Leon Chronos: Don't bother, I'm not going to last much longer. (Leon tells Perfect as his skin begins to crack like clay)
A look of shock appears on Prefect's face.
Mr Perfect: What is happening to you? Why are you like this? (Perfect asks with sadness in his voice)
Leon Chronos: I told you before. Time magic is bad for my health. (Leon tells him again)
Perfect remembers Leon's words when he told him that seeing the future was bad for his health. But Perfect never could have imagined that it was this bad, he thought it was just one of his silly jokes, but that was not the case.
Mr Perfect: I don't get it, you've survived way worse things than this, you're supposed to be my rival, don't let this sickness best you. (Perfect tells Leon with tears in his eyes, visible through his glasses)
Leon Chronos: Not sickness. A Curse (Coughs)....This curse has been in my family for generations, I'm just another unfortunate victim.
Gwenevier's voice can be heard in the distance, as she rushes over to help Leon.
Gwenevier Topaz: Oh no, you look awful. Why haven't you healed yourself yet? (Gwenevier asks in a worried tone)
Mr Perfect: He can't. He's out of magical energy. (Perfect tells Gwenevier, but turns his head to hide his tears)
Gwenevier Topaz: Then we need to get him to a doctor immediately! (Gwenevier yells in anger)
Leon Chronos: There's no point... I'll be gone soon. (Leon tell her with a weak smile, as his right hand crumbles away)
Gwenevier Topaz: (Gasps) Why?... Why is this happening to you? (Gwenevier asks with uncontrollable tears streaming from her face)
Leon stretches out the hand he still has and wipes away her tears.
Leon Chronos: Don't worry. I'll be fine. (Leon tells her with a weak smile)
Gwenevier Topaz: How can you say that? You look like you're dying.
Leon Chronos: I am dying. But I really enjoyed the way I lived my life... I had great friends and wonderful adventures. The only thing I regret, is that I wasn't able to be honest with you, Gwenevier. You're a smart, beautiful and courageous woman, I wish I had half have your courage, maybe then I would have confessed my feelings for you earlier... (Chuckles) I really love you Gwenevier, I know you never really liked me that way, but it's nice to share my true feelings with you. (Leon weakly says as his eyes begin to close)
Gwenevier Topaz: Leon wait! I.... (Gwenevier tries to tell Leon something, but time stops in it's tracks)
Leon slowly opens his eyes and sees Kronos looming above him. Time has been stopped and Leon's friends are now frozen.
Kronos The Great Demon Of Time: (Laughs) So you actually pulled off an Erase. I never imagined that a puny human could wield the powers of a Great Demon. But it looks like it was too much for you to handle, your body is falling apart, you look worse than your ancestors when they died.
Leon Chronos: Kronos, Kronos, Kronos.... Always showing up at the wrong time. I really wanted to hear what Gwenevier had to say to me... Oh well, guess this is it for both of us. (Leon tells the Great Demon weakly)
Kronos: What do you mean by both of us? (Kronos asks as he glares at Leon)
Leon Chronos: (Chuckles weakly) You didn't know? I found a way to end your curse. (Leon reveals)
A look of shock appears on the dragon's face.
Kronos: You lie, that is impossible. (Kronos retorts)
Leon Chronos: Nothing is impossible my scaly friend. What you call impossible, is just something that hasn't been done yet.
Kronos: Prove it! Prove your words to me! (The dragon bellowed)
Leon Chronos: I searched for many years for a way to get you out of me... Then I have a revelation, I didn't need you to go anywhere. If only there was a way for you to stay with me. That way if I died, you would die with me. It was as you said "Impossible" at first, but then I found this. (Leon tells Kronos as he reveals a necklace he was wearing, which held a crystal)
Kronos: (A look of fear appears on his face) An Amadite crystal?! How did you get such an item! (Kronos yells in anger, as he realises what's about to happen to him)
Leon Chronos: A friend of mine lent it to me, I actually left it at home at first, but luckily I brought it with me... It is said than an Amadite crystal is capable of trapping Curses within anyone they possess, It was used during the Great war as a method of dispatching curses that could take over bodies, now I'm gonna use it to dispatch you.... Burn in hell Kronos. (Leon tells the Great Demon with a smile, as he draws his final breath)
Kronos: No! You can't do this to me! I will not die with you! (Kronos yells in panic, as he tries to fly away from the scene, but a magical barrier stops him)
The Barrier continued to shrink in size, bringing Kronos ever closer to the dead body of Leon. Kronos roars loudly as he is forced into the body of the Elite Mage. And then time resumes once more.
Gwenevier Topaz: Leon wait! I... (Before Gwenevier has a chance to finish her sentence, the body of Leon Chronos becomes magical energy and is carried off by the passing wind)
Tears fill the eyes of Gwenevier as she screams in sorrow. Perfect lends her a shoulder to cry on, but he can't hold back his own tears, and both Elite Mages cry for their fallen comrade and treasured friend.
Lance regains consciousness and sits up to see a restored Soul Kingdom. A look of confusion appears on his face as he wonders what's going on, there was definitely a fierce battle, but all evidence of it had suddenly vanished. He stands up and walks towards Gwenevier and Mr Perfect as he spots them in the distance.
The Dark Hyenas simply watch from afar, not wanting to be the ones to break the bad news to him. As Lance reaches Gwenevier and Perfect, he sees them in tears.
Lance Grey: What's going on? (Lance asks in confusion)
Mr Perfect: We have lost a comrade and a friend... Leon Chronos, Is dead. (Perfect tells Lance as he wipes away his tears)
Lance falls to his knees, his thoughts are clouded with all the memories he shared with the man viewed as his mentor. Tears fill his eyes as he begins to cry. And what pains him the most, Is that he never got to say goodbye.
Next: Leon's Funeral.
