Chapter 3 - A home and a fallen kingdom

After the defeat of Xylda village, home of the demi-humans, Zebrokan laid waste on the village and gainef one of the dragon crystals, making his way to the Nylobab kingdom where he brought chaos and disorder. There, he met face to face with the queen, who lost to Zebrokan in an epic battle. After her defeat, Zebrokan was able to spot the other dragon crystal that was disguised as a flying Jaguar. With two dragon crystals in his possession, Zebrokan continued his journey to retrieve all six dragon crystals.

Three thousand years ago, right in the middle of the war, in the Medo-Persya kingdom, demons terrorized the great city.

Explosions and great disaster fell upon the great city. Just inside the castle, King Mammon Sa was encountered by the samaras, the evil spirit of vengeance and greed.

The samaras promised King Mammon Sa that he could end this war if only he agreed to his terms and conditions, after all, the kingdom was well known for their pride. King Mammon Sa could not let his kingdom be ruined by the demons and so he agreed to his contract, which spared his kingdom and its cities from destruction.

After the coronation of Queen Jade, the remaining knights of Zhou to Jin kingdom were granted safe passage by the queen. Hiro, on the other hand, promised Queen Jade that he would return and the world would reunite again.

The Queen asked the captain what would happen to the remaining Kingdoms, reminding them that Zebrokan was still on the loose, looking for the remaining dragon crystals.

General Vinnie told the queen that she had sent words to the remaining Kingdoms and that it's best these few soldiers return to their kingdoms while they rebuild theirs. And so the knights of Zhou to Jin returned to their own country to prepare for the upcoming threat.

Zebrokan arrived at the entrance of Medo-Persya kingdom and was welcomed by the king himself in his castle. The king ordered his guard to leave so he could speak with Zebrokan. Zebrokan revealed his true identity as a fire demon shadow-like being.

The king knew his purpose and why he was there; it was part of their plan, an exchange for his kingdom untouched, and neither were their villages and towns destroyed, for all what the samaras came for was handed to him by King Mammon Sa. And in exchange the samaras gave him a locket that would be useful in the future.

The king had saved his pride and his kingdom. The samaras transformed back into a human and he departed to find the remaining dragon crystals.

Dark clouds covered the entire kingdom of Gypet, roaring with thunder and lightning, a mighty whirlwind destroying the village in the country. Just then, war... Zebrokan's minions waged war against the Gypet kingdom and her tribes.

My lord, it has begun, said one of the knights of Gypet kingdom. Just like we heard from the Nylobab kingdom; Zebrokan has come for the dragon crystal.

While discussing their defense strategy, the King then asked the three leaders of the tribes: was it time to awaken the great dragon? All were in shock. "My lord, we can't take measures into our own hands, this is maybe what Zebrokan wants, to use the great dragon against us," protested one of the leader of Motuyin tribe.

"What about the...?"

They all looked at one another, without uttering a word, knowing what it is.

Meanwhile, in the middle of their discussion, the king's sorcerer Ba Jizux came up with an idea, which they may not all agree to, he told them about his vision, and in that vision, the entire kingdom was wiped out from the surface of the earth.

"I had a vision, a vision that we did not win this battle, a vision that is to let it take its course. If we were to fight back, this kingdom will never be remembered. In that vision, I saw a man, worthy of God's armor to liberate us from Armageddon."

Everyone in the castle was as quiet as a graveyard. Shu'ri Rah, the king of Gypet kingdom, became demoralized, and looked toward the members of the councils, walked towards the sorcerer and asked, which is best? Everyone thought towards it for some moments, while the king gave his orders.

"Blow the horn, let Zebrokan come to us," the king said. "Wise choice, my lord," Ba Jizux said.

Meanwhile in the battlefield, one of the Gypet knights blew the horn. It sounded all over the kingdom, as the soldiers began to surrender their weapons, Zebrokan gave his minions the sign to end the killing as he walked in the direction of the castle.

There he met with the king and the members of the councils. There, the dragon crystal was handed to him by the sorcerer as he looked straight into Zebrokan's eyes and uttered these words ברוך השטן.

With kingdom being spared from Zebrokan's wrath by the sorcerer, Zebrokan left the kingdom of Gypet and head straight to the Zhou to Jin kingdom, his country from which he was banished so as to retrieve the remaining last two dragon crystals.

Meanwhile, the knights of Zhou to Jin kingdom arrived. Only a few knights were seen, others had died heroes at the battlefield of Nylobab kingdom. Word was immediately sent to the king about the return of the knights.

The rest of the knights went home to their families, Bruce Wee went back to his tribe, and Hiro khan went home to his family, bit the captain Xiao Kain was called by the king.

Hiro Khan thus home, Amata rushed toward him and gave him a hug, while grandpa Bau Khan watched from afar. Happy to see him, Amata was so excited and would want to hear all about his adventures.

You must be tired, change your clothes, rest and tomorrow we'll talk about your adventure, grandpa said. Hiro took his belongings inside, his sword in his hand.

Grandpa, you look worried, Amata said. Amata was observant of grandpa's facial expressions, which seemed to express worry about something, all because Hiro was worried, unlike his usual behavior.

Meanwhile, inside the castle, Captain Xiao Kain met with the king Sargon Zhin, to whom he reported the matters to prepare for upcoming threat.

The entire kingdom, villages, towns and tribes are aware of the return of Zebrokan, the entire city in the kingdom became so quiet as a graveyard, it's happening, this is the moment of reckoning, just as the entire kingdom is been fortified by magic against all magical threat that is to come.

Meanwhile, Hiro is on the bed thinking about the Queen death at the Nylobab kingdom, how he couldn't protect the queen in time, he felt disappointed. Amata walks in as Hiro is still having the thoughts in his head.

Amata sat beside Hiro's bed;

"Whatever it is, it's not your fault, you did your best protecting the others as well. I know it's not an easy battle, but together we are strong".

Hiro opened up to Amata as they discussed, telling her his regrets, blaming himself. He hugged Amata as tears dropped down from his eyes. Bau Khan walked in to see them in the moment.

Few hours later, a huge fire ball blast hits the Zhou to Jin kingdom magical barrier. Boom!!!... A huge sound of explosion, then another blast, Han blast continues to hit the magical barrier.

Everyone in the kingdom looks up to the sky, Zebrokan floating in midair, the sky turns dark, roaring with lightning and thunder, struck down upon the magical barrier but doesn't seems to be affected at all.

The knights prepared themselves for battle, as the mages stood by ready to throwback whatever Zebrokan is unto. Just then, a gigantic lightning shaped like an axe cut through the barrier with impact, destroying most of the cities in the kingdom.

He lowered his flight towards the kingdom. His eyes were completely black and fixed on the king's castle, far from where he was, though he was able to sight the last two remaining dragon crystals inside the kingdom hidden chamber.

Zebrokan used his dark han energy to draw out the dragon crystals towards him, getting towards him, a knight shot an arrow towards Zebrokan as he caught it without looking.

The knights charged towards Zebrokan but he sent them flying; he controlled the earth around him.

Captain Xiao Kain fired a han blast at Zebrokan, distracting him from reaching the crystals.

Captain Xiao Kain fought with Zebrokan, they both battle but Zebrokan wasn't done. He snapped his fingers creating an earth giant monsters to battle the knight. Huge explosion was heard from afar.

The kingdom was starting to fall apart. Zebrokan's minions battled with the Knights of Zhou to Jin kingdom and when all hope was lost, the three tribes of Zhou to Jin kingdom emerged.

The amazon tribe, the Judah tribe and the Ceuta tribe, all came together to fight against Zebrokan and his minions. It was a massive battle as earth giants waged war upon the kingdom.

Meanwhile, Hiro rushed out to join the battle, Amata stepped out to join Hiro, though he told her to stay back with grandpa, and kicked something. Her eyes exploded wide open in shock. She called out to Hiro: it's one of the dragon crystals, right in front of her.

Amata picked it up, a huge extendable crash heading towards Amata, Hiro quickly rescued her. It was Zebrokan standing a bit far from them, he spotted the dragon crystal in Amata's hand.

Zebrokan used dark han strike towards Amata, Hiro redirected it the other way, rushed towards Zebrokan to attack, but missed. Hiro and Zebrokan went all out forth and back.

The captain arrived to the scene to see Amata with the dragon crystal. Just then, while fighting with Hiro, Zebrokan was able to get hold of the other dragon crystal. And with the combined power of five dragon crystals, he merged them together, causing a shockwave that sent Hiro flying to the other direction.

Zebrokan stretched his hand towards Amata as he was able to draw out the crystal from her. He merged it with the others, and the crystals became one.

Zebrokan was up in the sky, holding the dragon crystal, he then used it to summon the spirit of Azriel, the weather changed again, Azriel spirit had been summoned. Zebrokan was about to make his first wish. Captain Xiao Kain aims a spare at him, infusing it with his han as he throws it at Zebrokan who was shielded by Azriel's magic.

He finally made his first wish. The king Sargon Zhin felt it from afar, the entire world will be devastated once more.

Zebrokan's eyes turn completely black, he raises both hands to cause devastating earthquake on the kingdom. The battle has become fiercer than ever.

Most knight are seen in the battlefield protecting the citizens from harm's way.

Now, the battle was between Zebrokan, the captain Xiao Kain, the three tribes and few knights. With Zebrokan being in their middle, they surrounded him, for the main battle had begun.

Zebrokan created an earth barricade, a destructive construct separating the warriors from one another.

With each strategy against Zebrokan he fought them off successfully as he held on to the dragon crystal.

Constructive energy blast aimed at Zebrokan, he dodged but was hit with few.

One of the members of the tribe of Judah was able to lasso the dragon crystal out of his hand. Passing it on to one another, Zebrokan created a wind monster that fought off the king's knight.

Hiro, on the other hand, joined in to help. Bau Khan got a few tricks off his sleeves as he thunderclapped the wind monster into nothingness.

The rest of the knights and tribal leaders combined their power directly at Zebrokan. But Zebrokan was untouched without a scratch, his eyes were still black and on his forehead seemed to appear some numbers: 111.

Without hesitation, Zebrokan shot a crimson dragon beam at random which hit Amata right in front of everyone's eyes.

Hiro was struck speechless and in shock as he watched Amata fall to the ground. Grandpa rushed towards Amata to attend to her.

KABOOM!!!...

The sky turned blood red. Lightning struck, and thunder. Heavy wind blew. Hiro faced toward Zebrokan, his eyes turning red, he began to grow fangs, positioning himself like a bull ready to charge. The ground beneath him began to boil like hot steam and lava.

"Zebrokan!!!!...." Hiro yelled, "I'll kill you."

VOOOOM!!!

Hiro took off, leaving everyone speechless as he battled with Zebrokan, punching him far away out of the kingdom as it created a mighty shockwave that was felt all over the entire kingdom.

Bau Khan was with Amata, who wasn't badly hurt, as the beam didn't hit her directly in the heart.

Grandpa! Is Hiro. Amata said as she was interrupted by grandpa's speech. You're safe now. I thought I lost you. Grandpa Bau Khan said.

A mage and the captain walked toward Bau Khan. The mage did his work healing Amata from her injury as captain Xiao Kain asked Bau about Hiro's unmeasurable amount of han energy that was released.

Back to Hiro and Zebrokan. They both landed at an unknown landscape. Zebrokan could hardly control his stamina as he fell uncontrollably. Using one of his hands to maintain balance, he realized something.

Zebrokan: No human could ever push me to this limit, but you... You child. You are extremely remarkable indeed.

Zebrokan charged toward Hiro, punching his face and sending him in a far distant direction, shattering a mountain completely. Hiro got up, opening his mouth wide open as he released a huge fire blast that resembled a hell blaze at Zebrokan.

KRAKKK KABOOOOM!!!...

He grabbed Zebrokan's face, slamming it hard into the ground. Zebrokan switched his body construct indescribably as he kicked Hiro up to the sky. He flew toward Hiro, punching him with great force as they aimed higher at the sky, expressing his hatred towards everyone and the kingdom.

Zebrokan: Now I remember you, you're the son of Azriel. The one who betrayed her kind. Like mother, like son.

Appearing behind Hiro, Zebrokan slammed him behind his back real hard, causing a shockwave and destruction around him as he hits the ground.

KABOOOOM!!!.

He rushef towards Hiro to land another blow, Hiro caught his hand, looking at his face as it began to grow horns, two on his forehead and two at the side of his head.

Zebrokan: What are you?

Hiro: BIMEATHEST

KABOOOOM!!!

Hiro up cut him into the air and speed blitzed Zebrokan as he fell hard to the ground, causing him to go deep, but not deeper.

Zebrokan got up, furious, revealing his true identity as the samaras, the description is way horrifying to look. Hiro came at him at full speed, Zebrokan got off of him as their hands were interlocked to one another.

Their foreheads met together as smoke began coming out of it.

They both went all out and their fight created a shockwave that was felt across all kingdoms and tribes.

Meanwhile, Bau Khan told captain Xiao Kain that they needed to calm Hiro down, or else it could be the end of everything. Explaining this to the captain, Bau Khan gave him a special silver like collar used for restraining of magic and han.

The captain wasn't aware of it. "It's called a Rada'Han, it's what I used to restrain Hiro from becoming the thing he usually transforms into," Bau Khan said.

Bau Khan: You need to get this on Hiro before time runs out. There is no time to explain it all, except you want all of creation to be destroyed.

Zebrokan and Hiro continued their fight.

Zebrokan (Samaras transformation): Do you hate me; I feel your pain. That's how we felt.

Hiro punched Zebrokan so hard that it made him reconstruct his body. He grabbed Hiro, slamming him into the ground as he used earth magic, creating a huge rock-like spare that sent Hiro flying upwards.

Just then, he used his dark han, forcing him deep down to the earth.

It was quiet for a moment, then Zebrokan stretched forth his hand as he called out to the dragon crystal.

And then, the ground beneath him began to tremble.

KRAKKK KRAKKK!!!

KABOOOOM!!!....

ROAR!!!!...

Hiro transformed into a serpentine dragon whose length was 24,901 miles long, and battled with Zebrokan.

The captain and some few knights arrived at the scene. Remembering what Bau Khan told the captain, the battle between Zebrokan and Hiro became tougher every minute that passed. With some few tricks up Zebrokan's sleeves, he got hold of the dragon crystal that shielded him from the serpentine dragon's crush.

Captain Xiao Kain climbed onto Hiro to wear him the Rada'Han collar.

BLAST!!!...

A mighty wind blew the captain off of Hiro as Zebrokan punched the serpentine dragon right in the face. It back handed Zebrokan to the ground, about to finish him off. Just then, a voice was heard.

Hiro!!!...Amata yelled.

He turned towards her, seeing her and grandpa together. He then looked around to see the damage being caused by him and Zebrokan.

CLINCH!

The Rada'Han collar was on his neck, he began to regain consciousness once more, as he slowly returns to his human form.

Zebrokan, still in his Samaras form, got up while holding the crystal in his hand, just about to make another wish. Hiro held onto the hand with which Zebrokan held the crystal as he destroyed it.

Hiro: No more will you terrorize the Kingdoms of this world.

About to break it, the captain tried to stop him, but Hiro ignored this as he destroyed the dragon crystal into pieces.

KRAKKK!!!...

KABOOOOM!!!...

Shockwaves were felt all over.

He looked at the samaras as he punched him flying out of the premises to an unknown location. Hiro turned towards the direction of his family and hugged Amata, he was so happy to see her in good shape. You still had this collar on the whole time with you, grandpa, Hiro said, laughing. The captain Xiao Kain asked Hiro why he destroyed the dragon crystal. Hiro explained that it was for the greater good.

They all headed back to Zhou to Jin kingdom to repair the damage that was caused by Zebrokan. Captain Xiao Kain retrieved the pieces of the dragon crystals.

VOOOSH!!!...

KABOOOOM!!!...

Zebrokan landed in an unknown location, stepping further and being teleported to another location, a "desert Dudael." There, he saw a big cave, it's dark inside. His knees began weighing down on him as he heard a voice calling out to him saying;

"The one who possessed a human, a human who is in need of great power, clouded by vengeance and greed".

You were summoned here to me by Ba Jizux. To free me from the one who binds us here. From the hands of "Raphael".

Zebrokan knelt to the ground in the desert, revealing his true form again. What must be done "Master" said the samaras. Eye bright light could be seen in the cave. A crackling sounds like that of a chain could be heard, it was unbreakable, not even magic itself could break the chains. You woul need the "Armour of God".

Meanwhile, the people in the city all came together, the three tribes of the kingdom, the town square and the villagers all as the king Sargon Zhin addressed them, encouraged them as well as regarding their efforts to protecting this kingdom. And together they'd build a new world and live their lives in perfect harmony. The people all cheered, merry at the king's announcement.

Few hours later, the king requested to see the captain. They discussed the next matter at hand, he could tell that this is just the beginning of the end. Dismissing the captain, the king went down to an old abandoned dungeon down below the kingdom where he met a duplicate of himself hanging dead.

The other counterparts seemed to be smiling at the dead king as he uttered these words.

"Now that the son of Azriel lives, and the dragon crystals are no more. I'll end what my sister failed to do, we'll work the earth once more".
