"Be silenced." Arata spoke and suddenly Karin's laughter disappeared.
Karin began to struggle, as if she could not breathe and she fell to the ground. She clawed the ground, as if she was being strangled. As if trying to retaliate, she raised a Gem of Sin and sent a blast of dark energy towards Arata.
"Begone." Arata's words dispersed the dark energy. "Shatter."
With Arata's words, the Gem shattered, as if like glass, into mere dust that dispersed around us.
"Be purified." Arata's words seem to hold great power as Karin is engulfed in a golden light. "So you have been there, all along. Reveal yourself, Ruina."
In an instant, a dark shadow began to leave Karin's body and above her, a shadowy figure hovered.
"I'm surprised you noticed me." The distorted voice of a woman emanated from the shadow.
"Ruina... As in the Queen of Catastrophe?!" Felicia exclaimed.
"Oh, the Children of Fate have been gathered?" The shadowy figure stated. "However, you are too late. Thanks to this girl's hardwork, the Catastrophe will be returned to this world and with our return we will rewrite this world into our own."
"And do you think you will succeed?!" Sidwell exclaimed. "We will stop you! Just like eons ago!"
"What do you think you can accomplish when you don't even have your original bodies?" The figure cackled.
"Prudence." Arata spoke and suddenly blades of light bound the shadow.
"This power!!" Ruina exclaimed. "It can't be!! H-How?!"
"Ruina... You have plagued this world for eons and eons. Even when you've lost your physical form." Arata spoke as he began to levitate into the sky.
"H-How are you here?!" Ruina began to panic. "Transcendent, Ortus!!"
"Oh, I'm surpise you knew it was me." Arata answered and smirked. "Incandescence."
"Ahhh!! Curse you Ortus!!" Ruina exclaimed and disappeared into the shadows.
"She got away? Well, whatever." Arata stated as he landed.
"Ortus? Who is that?" Alexis asked.
"The very first Ancient, the one who was the first to be born from our mother, the one who governs over the Beginning." Felicia stated as she gazed at Arata who landed before us. "It's been a long time, Older Brother Ortus."
"Please Felicia, you can just call me by my real name." He smiled and turned to us. "I borrowed Arata's body because I sensed the descent of the Catastrophes."
"Um... Eldest Brother, Ros, why are you here?" Gunilla asked.
"I've been sent by mother. She says that Arata must arrive at the Heart. She sensed the descent of the Harbingers of Catastrophe and so ordered me to intervene." He answered. "I used the Ancient Blood in Arata as a conduit to temporarily tether my essence to his body. I only have a little bit of time, so we have to enter the Heart, now!"
We nodded and we approached the entrance of the sealed door. There was no signs of a way to enter it.
"How do we get in?" Andrew asked.
"Lemianile." He called and Lemianile appeared above us, with a smile on her face.
"You've arrived just in time." She smiled.
"Well, from here on out, it's Arata's job." Ros stated and a glowing form began to seperate from Arata.
-----
"Ugh... My head's a mess." I stated as I opened my eyes, I was being propped by Liam.
"You're awake." An unfamiliar voice stated as I turned to see a man, with platinum hair and golden eyes dressed in a white rob smiling at me. "I'm Ros, I'm sure you already know what you're supposed to do."
I nodded and stood up the assess my surroundings. Karin is out cold, propped against a pillar. We're inside the city heart, there are pillars going up and down.
"Lemianile, can the Sidus Pontem connect to the other worlds yet?" I asked.
"That depends if the Pillars of Origin have been restored..." She answered. "And Arata... It's begun..."
"I see... The Harbingers of Catastrophe have descended across the worlds?" I asked, somewhat aware of the uneasiness I feel in the Vi.
"Yes. And it seems that they're trying to completely plunge the worlds into chaos." Ros stated. "Arata, you're the only one who has the power to stop them. It's now or never."
"However, the last requirements hasn't been fulfilled yet." I answered.
"Requirement?" Ethan asked.
"The Four Cardinal Beasts haven't anchored the Essence of the Four Seasons. Until they fulfill the last condition I can't begin the purification." I answered.
"Then we can only wait." Will says and pats my back, then there's a loud explosion outside.
We all rush to the entrance and find thousands of what appear to be Shadows descending from the green thunder above us. They spread out and seem to be attacking all the surrounding areas.
"It appears my descent was too late, the time it took to stop Karin was all it took for Fingers to tear a hole into the fabric of space and enter this world." Ros stated as he stepped towards the door.
"Fingers?" Zhen asked.
"Those are the shall we say foremen of the Catastrophe, they begin spreading chaos whenever they descend." Velti stated. "Tch. We need to drive them away or at least subdue them."
"But the seven of us could never pull it off." Siel stated and I realized something.
"Lemianile, bring Sirius and the other Chimeras here." I told her and she snapped her fingers, the bodies of the Chimeras, sealed within crystals emerged.
"Arata, what are you planning to do?" Siel asked.
Just then, overhead, a portal opened and Theo and the others fell from the sky.
"Ugh. That hurts..." Angie says as she rubs her butt.
"Oh, you're back." I smiled and that's when I notice Leno and the others, standing behind them. "Leno? Baran? What are you doing here?"
"Well, it's a long story." Cedar stated.
"And we don't have time." I stated as I undid the crystalization on Sirius.
"Arata?! What are you doing?!" Lia exclaimed as the Crystal around Sirius disappeared and he awoke, looking at me with hate filled eyes.
"It's been a while, Sirius. No... Perhaps I should call you by your real name. Riu." I smiled and his gaze darkened.
"You... How dare you!!" He attacked me but no power emerged.
"Now then, it's time to return the Ancients to their true forms." I smiled and walked to the center of the room.
"Master, what are you planning to do?" Chronologia asked a I held my hand to the sky.
"Children of Fatum, the time has come. A great catastrophe emerges before you, by the blood of the Ancient the flows within me, I explore you." I chanted. "Oh Sidus Pontem, Tombe del'Ancien, I emplore you. Purify the darkness, following the path of blood as you go. Let the memories of the past light the way, Source Magic: Another!!"
