Light,Kani,Blind, and the Leo clans all prepared and armed themselves. There were thousands of people ready to fight.
Jerome and Silva came and knocked on the gate. Xavier opened the gate and was surprised to see them. "Thank goodness! It's about time! Where's the army though?"
"A creature killed them!" Jerome said as he pushed Xavier to the side. Silva followed closely behind. Jerome pushed ervyone out of the way and marched inside of Star's resting place.
"STAR!!" Jerome yelled as kicked open the door. Star was looking at himself in the mirror with water on his face.
"Star, we need to think about this." Silva suggested.
"What?" Joster opened the door and took a seat. "Think about it?" He asked.
"A powerful creature killed the whole sky clan! Onbeperk was there-"
"Did you really believe him?" Star asked as he interrupted Jerome. Star walked around his desk. "We cannot stop now. If there really is such a beast, I'll kill it. You have my word." Star said.
"Not to be funny or anything…but I hate the fact you have the same name as one of those things."
******
Kaida,Light,Mono, and Leo all sat around the great mountain of the higher-ups. "Where's Marcel!? He knows how serious this is." Kaida said.
"He will be here." Light yawned.
"I am here." Marcel laughed as he emerged from the forest. "Where have you been!? You're the one who told us about these pathetic creatures trying to start a revolt!" Mono said.
"I found out through a partner who's going off of someone's future eyesight. You won't believe who my partner is."
*****
Marcel told them everything and all of the five monarchs stared in shock. "I see. So he really is alive." Light sighed. "It's a shame…I know Juliana would have wanted to see this."
"Where's the rest of the sacrifices?" Marcel asked.
Light pointed to the great mountain. "It's time to start." Mono sighed. Marcel and the others turned their heads. "Start what?" Light asked.
"The purging."
******
Back at the star clan, Jade and others that were away came back and explained all their stories and experiences.
"I won't tell anyone about Adisa…that would cause conflict…maybe a clan war." Jade thought to herself.
"Where's Udo, babe?" Jade asked Xavier.
"He's gone." Xavier said as he seemed to be in a rush. "Gone? Can you give me more-"
"No." Xavier said as he trimmed out of the room. Jade quickly followed. "What's the matter with you!? All I did was ask you-"
"I don't want you to fight." Xavier said.
"Excuse me?" Jade said. She felt offended by Xavier. Why would he say that to her?
"Listen, I need you to stay here and protect. I don't want to lose you, Jade." Xavier said as he put his hand behind Jade's head and rested his head against hers. "I…am not strong enough…to protect you." Xavier admitted.
"Xavier…you're strong. You just don't believe in yourself. I'm fighting…end of story." Jade said as she walked past Xavier. "Jade…be safe when leading your squad."
Jade gave a thumbs-up while walking away. Xavier looked up at the sky. "Something doesn't feel right. Why…do I have this uneasy feeling?"
******
Star explained everything to Silva and Jerome. Star then arranged a meeting with all the group leaders and went over the plan.
"That is when we hit them. Once we separate them, we take them down one-by-one." Star said as he pulled out a map.
"Mythical beast are cocky creatures. They'll definitely stay in the mountain. Right now, we know that Onbeperk separated them for a time being! I believe that Gem, another mythical beast, freed those higher-ups caught. I say this because when I sent a few soldiers to warn the blood clan, no one was there. Strange, right? The dark clan is also…suspicious. And that's not good."
"Why is that not good?" A man asked.
"I'll tell you why, Spark." Star said as he stood up on the table. "The ten of you chosen soldiers will lead a army of your own in battle against the beast! After investigating the dark island with Elizabeth's bird, we have reason to believe that the beast need a portal!"
The ten soldiers all spoke amongst each other. Jerome immediately caught on. "I see why you're saying. The dark clan is connected to the dark dimension. To keep it short, the dark clan can make a portal and transfer things from here to the dark island." Jerome said. "That explains a lot. Maybe that's how Crystal ended up here. her powers are insane! We don't know if she's the strongest or not." Jerome said.
"Being that she was a scout, she was the third in command or she just wanted a death wish. But, let's say she was a scout…but she wanted to die. That would make her the second in command. A group leader is among them." Star explained.
"So what do you suggest we do?" Jade asked.
"We bring the fight…to the dark clan first. The light clan won't stand by and watch as our enemies gain strength!"
"But you're doing all of this off of your intuition. We do not know if-"
"We do." Star said as he interrupted another fighter from his clan. "You don't know this, Flash…but Elizabeth also spied on the dark clan." Star said as he called her forward.
"When my eagle flew over the clan…I noticed the entire clan in a building…a building that spawned out of thin air. They are using portals. But, the thing that got me was when I seen them." Elizabeth said.
"Seen who?" Joster asked as he got out of his seat. "The dark clan has X-"
"Wait! You guys don't hear that!?" Joster said as he quickly ran out of the building.
******
(Before Joster ran outside)
Xavier missed the meeting. He just walked around the clan while everyone around him prepared for war.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door of the clan. Everyone stopped and looked.
"You guys expecting visitors?" Xavier asked.
"Not that I remember. I know some people went out on mission, but they have returned long ago." A man said as Xavier walked over to the gate and pressed his head against the door. He tried to hear for breathing.
"Who is it!?"
"It's me. Open the gate." Frost said.
Xavier slowly pulled the gate and was standing right in front of Frost. Frost easily towered over Xavier and walked right past him.
"Frost, you shouldn't be here. You of all people-"
"Adisa is alive…and you knew." Frost said.
Xavier stopped. His heart began racing as he looked around. "There's nothing to see here!" Xavier yelled to the clan.
I know what Frost is trying to do! Everyone fears Adisa! He wants us to turn on each other! Xavier thought as he grabbed Frost by the shoulder. "What are you doing!?" Xavier said.
"ADISA IS ALIVE AND YOU KNEW IT!" Frost yelled. Everyone in the light clan all stepped back. "The evil child!?"
"I knew it! Traitors!" A man yelled.
"The Kani clan is plotting to team up with Adisa and kill you all! Your leader is in on it too!" Frost yelled to the group.
I don't know anything about Adisa! Adisa is dead! What is Frost-oh, no! Xavier caught on to what Frost was doing.
Frost walked away as the crowd of people ran towards Xavier. "The light clan…it's a shame what happens next." Frost said.
"Frost, why!?" Xavier yelled over. "Don't tell me…you knew about the beast!? And why did you say it like that!? What do you mean by "next"? Don't tell me…you told them where we were planning the attack!?"
Frost stopped and slowly turned around. He put his finger over his mouth and with a twisted smile, he said "I had no choice. You all…are so foolish." Frost said as he pointed to the sky.
Xavier and everyone in the clan looked up and noticed a bright light headed straight for the clan. "Rub away!" Xavier yelled.
Frost gave Xavier a smirk and turned his back. Frost slowly walked towards the building where Star and the others were.
Why…why won't I move? Can't I stop him!? Can't I do anything!? Xavier thought as he could hear the voice of a familiar voice from the light.
The light crashed down in the middle of the clan. Xavier was shocked to see one of the monarchs emerging from the flames. "So, this is the place? Not bad! Never been to the light clan before!"
Mono yawned as he looked around. "This place is beautiful. A place where the outside doesn't even know what goes on inside! A place where you don't have to leave!" Mono raised his hands in the air and took a deep breath.
Xavier reached for his bow and took aim. It was like the world had stopped. Everyone in the clan jumped at Mono.
While everyone was about to attack, Mono stopped smiling and looked right at Xavier. Mono let out a loud screech that blasted every building in the area away.
Half of the army was completely destroyed.
Xavier managed to move out of the way before the attack could reach him. Xavier jumped up and searched around for Mono while everyone ran around in a frantic.
"Stay calm!" Xavier yelled.
Someone touched Xavier's shoulder. Xavier spun around to see Light right behind him. "Hey there, Xavier." He laughed as Xavier was shot in the shoulder with a unknown object.
"What-"
Light jumped across the clan and touched everyone that was still alive. Flashes of light objects shot everywhere and mowed everyone down.
******
Joster opened the door and had seen all of the destruction. Before Joster could open his mouth, Frost had snuck behind him and put a sword to his throat.
"Get back in the building." Frost ordered as Joster put his hands up.
"Frost!? What the hell are you-"
"Shut up." Frost said. Star couldn't believe it! Frost was with the enemy and knew the whole time!?
"How did you know-"
"I'm an IP…I know everything." Frost said as he threw Joster in his chair. "Let's talk business!" Frost said. Frost took a seat.
******
Xavier rolled over and quickly patched his shoulder. His was laying in his own blood. "Shit!" He yelled.
Xavier managed to stand up and run.
******
"Frost…I swear on my life…I'll kill you!" Joster threatened.
Frost laughed and rubbed his hand through his smooth light-blue hair. "You people need to know who's at the top of the food chain! Give up! What you guys are doing will destroy the-"
Star stood up and quickly ran towards the door.
"Not in the mood to talk?" Frost asked as Jade lunged across the table. She took out her sword and was ready to kill him.
Frost smiled and leaned back in his chair.
I can't stop Star from telling them. I guess I dialed my mission. Frost thought as he pushed against the table and quickly escaped.
Frost landed outside of the tall building and looked up at Star. "EVERYONE, GO WITH THE PLAN! ATTACK THE MOUNTAIN-"
Mono and Light both jumped up and punched through Star's chest.
"Star!!" Spark yelled as a spark of light sped across the room. Spark kicked Mono back and grabbed Star.
"DON'TJUST STAND THERE! START THE ATTACK!" Spark yelled as the people of the clan all ran out and went into their positions.
"Don't waste time! We have to move!" Joster yelled as the ten soldiers bursted out of the room.
Aliyah jumped out and found Xavier on the ground. "Oh, shit. Jade!"
******
Light looked at everyone leaving the clan and laughed. "You think I'm just gonna let you people go!? No way!" Light jumped in the air and clapped his hands. "For the king!"
Suddenly, a purple aura zoomed around the sky.
Light spun around to see Jerome who swiped at Light's face.
Light leaned back and fell to the ground. Jerome landed softly and pointed his sword at Light. "You things are really starting to piss me off." Jerome yawned.
"Do you not care about the death of Star!? He was-"
"I could care less. I'm here to kill you…every last one of you. I won't stop…until that cat brings back my sister!" Jerome yelled as he jumped at Light.
Light snapped his fingers. His yellow aura flashed Jerome. Jerome couldn't see. "Where did-"
Light touched Jerome in his chest area. Jerome was stabbed by a unknown light.
"You don't know? Crystal is dead, fool! That little brat killed her!" Light said as Jerome gained his vision back.
"The hell you say!?"
"You heard me! That boy killed her! They escaped our leaders too!" Light said as his voice faded away.
Jerome stood in the middle of the clan and dropped his sword. "Udo…you really were…right about that kid." Jerome whispered.
*****
Joster gathered his group and headed towards the mountains. "Sir, shouldn't we wait on Xavier and his squad?" A woman asked.
"No. Xavier was on the ground bleeding! We will take the sky attack alone! They won't see it coming! Now come on!" Joster yelled as he let out a loud yell.
Joster was leading a squad of fifty people. A giant bird lifted from the ground and soared in the air. The Bird was the size of a plane. "Zara, come here!" Joster yelled as the birth dove towards everyone.
******
Jerome met with his troop outside of the clan. Everyone jumped on their horses and headed for the mountain.
******
Jade,Aliyah, and Xavier where in the burning clan. "We have to go!" Aliyah said.
"I'm not leaving him!" Jade yelled as he tried to pull Xavier. "Shit!" She screamed.
Jade heard footsteps approaching. It was Frost. Frost…with tremendous speed, grabbed Xavier and took him from Jade.
Jade jumped up and pointed at Frost. "STOP!" She screamed as Frost raised Xavier over the flames.
"Frost, don't do this! Put Xavier down!" Jade screamed.
"I don't think I will. Right, Aliyah?" Frost said.
Aliyah walked past Jade. Jade grabbed Aliyah by the arm. "Aliyah? W-what are you doing!? We have a plan! You promised to protect! You said those words!"
"Get your hand off of me!" Aliyah said as she wrapped tree branches around Jade. Jade was tied down.
"It sucks…it really does." Frost yawned as he moved closer to the fire. "You did a good job, Aliyah. You gave me the location and information I needed."
"What do we do now?" Aliyah asked.
"We kill Xavier. But, to prove your loyalty…I want you to throw him in the fire." Frost said as he threw Xavier on the ground. Aliyah glanced at Jade and quickly back to Xavier.
Jade could do nothing but watch. Aliyah could hear the muffled screams of Jade as she tried to free herself.
Aliyah slowly picked up Xavier and looked one last time at Jade. "I'm sorry." She whispered. Aliyah tossed Xavier in the fire. Jade watched as his body was covered in flames.
Jade's screams turned into cries as Frost and Aliyah both disappeared.
Jade was alone. The fire was getting closer.
Suddenly, a giant bird hovered over her. Joster jumped down, cut the branches and jumped up to grab to birth with Jade in his arm.
"Where's Xavier!?" Joster asked as he tossed Jade on the bird. Jade said nothing. She had a killer look in her eyes. Joster noticed this and focused on controlling the bird.
"I'm sorry." Joster said.
******
Silva and her squad managed to escape.
Jerome and his squad managed to escape.
Joster managed to escape with his squad.
Jade escaped, but her squad did not make it.
Xavier is dead. The whereabouts of his squad were unknown.
Spark ran off with the assumed to be dead Star, leader of the light clan. Spark and Star squads are alive and continuing with their role.
Flash managed to escape. His squad is dead.
Aliyah betrayed Jade and went off with Frost.
Elizabeth managed to escape. Her squad is dead.
******
Onbeperk sat on a giant hill with Jack. They both looked down at the destruction. "It's all gong as planned." Onbeperk said.
******
The Star clan was completely destroyed. Everything was burnt to ash. Everything…besides one important creature.
