"Well I can see why Aaron calls you the generation of Defiance…very impressive that you broke the seal of Truth that Jericho had made years ago solely because of your relationship with one another though it's a perfect relationship between Altima and Alphas it was enough to get us this far." Johnthan stated as Black Sun walked up to the crystal laughing as he went to touch it before being stopped by an unknown force,
"Looks like Jericho had a last defense for this thing got any ideas Crest?" Black asked as Peter looked at the symbols around the stone plate, "We need Jericho himself to break this force field, well whatever this thing maybe I'm just making an assumption."
"We already have Jericho he's right here staggering to get his balance right." Lois exclaimed as she held Lloyd and eventually dragged him over to the stone plate and used his hand to go through the barrier but even his hand was stopped,
"What?! But the tablet says we need Jericho himself and Lloyd is Jericho at this point the pillar of light awakened the past lives within Lloyd right?" Johnthan shouted in angry as Peter looked as though he was thinking before he could speak Lloyd answered Johnthan's question
"Yes it did…but even I can hear their voices…and Jericho himself only wanted you to get this far…. It's called the Temple of False Hope for a reason….he wanted you believe that you'd get the crystal…but in reality…it's a fake…the real crystal was sealed with the Blade…and no one can wield it…unless they are truly worthy…. Sucks doesn't all this planning and you failed…" Lloyd proclaimed as he grabbed onto the pillar before getting up and looking at the alphas and then at his uncle, looking at his brother laying on the ground reaching out before his arm is grabbed by the wrist
"You Altimas always try to lie and play with us but not this time this time we're going to win," Sun angrily shouted as he forced Lloyd's hand through the barrier as the barrier ripped his skin reducing it to bone moving his hand further down until it reached his shoulder for obvious reasons, Lloyd screamed in agony "Grab it! Before your bone is erased too but even as the Altima that shouldn't be the problem anyway." Lloyd grabbed the crystal and retracted his hand, his bone burned and within seconds it was if nothing had happened Lloyd looked at his own hand confused the pain had vanished as if it never happened and then he heard a voice
"The pain in which you feel is that of an illusion nothing more, from here on the true form of confidence you have is that of yourself, you are your own enemy."
As Lloyd looked as his hand again noticing that the crystal was no longer there but now in his uncle's hands which worried him there was a good reason why that crystal was sealed away
"Wait please whatever you don't you need to destroy that crystal right now!" Lloyd claimed as the Alphas began to laugh at him as his friends began to wake
"Nephew do you honestly believe we went through all this trouble to destroy this thing? No you imbecile it was to use it." Sun began to laugh "The crystal holds untold power and we'll use it to change Wolftopia to make it far greater than every before."
"You don't understand that crystal has a cost every time it's used, you'll lose something dear to you. It could be an object, a person even your soul that's why Jericho himself sealed it away he saw through it's lies. All those voices weren't just the Crystal's power but actually victims of the crystal itself."
As many of the other alphas began to look at each other Black Sun didn't care he held the crystal and started to rub it soon he was covered in a covered in a purple cloud, Lloyd tried to reach out but was blown away. Soon everyone was teleported to an arena of some sort Lloyd knew this had to be the final part of the Trials at least that's what he believed.
