Horu then used the little embers he had left to heat up the ice Leeron was trapped in and cried as they both were falling to the ground.
Bastra used his telekinesis to catch the boys and they ran away from the battle.
Back at the battlefield, Fukon generated enough energy to finally break free of the ice because only mystical heat could melt the ice but if you had a large enough reserve of mystical energy you could break through. He gnashed his teeth and landed on the ground, he looked back at Naga who had a tear drop in his eye while frozen in the ice and encaged in the earth prison at the same time with only his head popping out.
Fukon: I see, so that boy was close to you? There's no need in asking, no mortal could break free of this prison, it's indestructible so you will have to stay here for.... eternity
Fukon: GUARDS!!
Soldiers: YES COMMANDER!!
Fukon: Get ready, we'll need to pay a visit to the waterfall....
Horu: Why'd he do that? WHY!!!
Bastra: It was the only way to save Leeron
Horu: BUT WHAT DID THAT COST US!!! We wanted to save a life, but in doing so we lost one instead!!! I'll make them pay for what they did.... no matter what!
Bastra then looked up to sky and said
Bastra: You did a good deed Belton, you will always be our brother and we will never forget you...
Naga: My.....little.... rascal....
Naga's mind then went back to the first time he met Belton, a little child around the age of 5 who always tried his best and was hardworking and doing all of this with a smile on his face, he was the most loyal person he had ever met and he was gone.
Horu: Why are we going this way?
Bastra: What do you mean? Don't tell me you actually thought we were going to the waterfall?
Horu: Uhh, yes?
Bastra: Think Horu Think, why would he tell us to go there when the entire army was listening to him, we had a thing when we were little and if we wanted to communicate with each other without people understanding us, we would use a sort of telepathy to speak to each other.
Horu: How am I meant to know that?
Bastra: Well, you aren't but you should have at least known that the waterfall is the worse place to go.
Horu: And why's that?
Bastra: Because the waterfall has loads of traps set up by an unknown person and since the army never checks there, they will not even know anything.
Horu: I feel so dumb right now.
Bastra: That is because you ARE dumb Horu.
Horu: At least I'm a better fighter
Bastra: You need brains in order to fight
Horu: And you need skill to be better at fighting
Bastra: I'm done with this useless argument, all you need to know is, I'm a smarter fighter
Horu: and I'm a stronger fighter
Leeron: And I'm the fastest
Horu: Huh? LEERON!! YOU'RE AWAKE!!
Bastra: Don't move too much you idiot, you'll make things difficult!!!!
Horu: haha😁, sorry
Leeron: This isn't the path to the waterfall?
Horu: Now that you bring that you, where are we actually heading
Bastra: We're already here, infact it's everywhere
Horu and Leeron: Huh?
Bastra: Since we all have a crystal, all we need to do is use it properly and we will be able to open portals to the Mystic Plain. After all, we're now at our second lock.
Horu: What do you mean by that?
Leeron: Oh so you noticed it too?
Bastra: Yep
Horu: WHAT ARE YOU GUYS TALKING ABOUT???
Leeron: Oh you big dumbo, things don't work like that for us, with the crystals I figured out that, the more we push our limits and are closer to death, the powerful we become and the faster we open the locks. That's why...
Bastra: That's why Belton died, he opened the locks too fast, he overused his ice power he broke through 2 more locks which completely destroyed his body because you need to have a good physical body in order to wield such power.
Horu: oh... let's get that out of the way, so how do we open a portal?
Bastra: That, I actually do not know, let's drop down here.
The boys dropped down to an open field with a lot of grass to try and figure out a way to open the portal to the Mystic Plain.
Bastra: Let's just meditate and try and figure it out with the Crystals.
Horu: Good idea
Leeron: Sure
The boys then sat down in a meditating position and closed their eyes, they then went deep into their bodies and souls, remembering parts if their life in the form of a movie until they reached the core. At thus point, it seemed as if they were all inside one body but were going through the minds of three bodies. As they went deeper and deeper into their minds, they saw a large orb with the colours; White, Black and Red. It emitted so much mystical energy that if the energy was converted to physical form it would be larger than the size of 12 suns.
After seeing this, they knew what they had to do.
They all opened their eyes and looked at each other.
Horu: Let's do this
The three boys got up and started to power up releasing massive amounts of energy.
Back at the soldiers' side, Fukon realised that there was nothing at the waterfall and knew that he had been tricked, he sensed the enormous amounts of energy being released and immediately told his soldiers to go there before the portal opened.
Fukon: GUARDS HURRY!!
Fukon jumped up and created elevated stepping stones and used it to travel faster to the boys, the boys were also right at the verge of opening the portal, Fukon finally saw the large did with the three boys standing in a circular pattern and the portal beginning to open up.
He threw a large earth spear at the boy's but before it could hit them, they entered the portal.
