"Saving the Royal Family is not enough Geed. You must warn the other elemental kingdoms and protect the young magic users with your life. They can help you defeat Kane and reseal Lord Darkmanner if the seal is broken" Canine advised.
Geed kept silent.
"I know this is a difficult task Geed but as Light Magi, you must protect the gems and the others" Canine encouraged.
"We've got to save the Royal Family first, LET'S GO!" Geed ordered.
With this, they ran around town trying to warn the people but they only received insults. Time passed and the full moon filled the sky.
"There's no more time Geed, we've got to do this alone!" Canine called.
So Geed and Canine ran to the Castle calling for the Gates to be opened. The Guards threatened to arrest them but they were determined not to fail.
"Canine, no choice! We'll have to use the Fire Rocket!" Geed said.
Then Geed noticed that one of the castle rooms was ablaze.
"It has begun, Canine quick!" Geed called.
Canine quickly created a replica of the Five Point Star on the ground.
"Your turn Geed" Canine said.
"I'll try" Geed responded.
"Earth!" Geed called as he touched the tip of the Northenmost point of the star.
"Water! Fire! Wind! Dark!" Geed continued.
"Now the heart Geed, that's your main element" Canine encouraged.
"Okay, and LIGHT!" Geed called as a huge flash of light teleported Canine and himself into the Castle.
In the Castle, they run through several blazing corridors. They soon came to a room where cries could be heard. Geed broke down the door and saw Lord Kane preparing to kill the Princess.
"So, the son of Darkness reborn in Light has returned" Lord Kane said.
"LET HER GO!" Geed ordered.
"I will after you're both dead!" Kane roared as he shot a beam of fire towards the princess.
Geed deflected the beam with a jet of water.
"Take the Princess and run! I'll hold him off!" Canine roared.
"Be careful friend" Geed waved.
Geed grabbed the Princess by her hand and rushed out of her room. Once they were out, she motioned to him to slow down.
"Who are you?" she asked.
"I'm not sure you would want to know who I am. All you need to know is that I'll protect you with my life!" Geed said.
The Princess seemed to take his words in.
"I don't doubt that but…my father…he's in danger!" the Princess said as she broke into tears.
Suddenly, a jet of fire knocked Geed down.
"No longer!" the King growled as he stepped towards Geed.
"But father, this boy…" the Princess began to say.
"SILENCE! Stay away from my daughter demon child!" the King threatened.
"I'm sorry sire but it's my duty to…" Geed tried to defend himself.
"HA! What does a kid like you know about duty! GUARDS! I CHARGE THIS BOY WITH ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION, EXECUTE HIM IMMEDIATELY!" the King called.
"No! Your majesty, Lord Kane is the culprit! Listen to me!" Geed called.
The King held his daughter firmly and took her out of the collapsing castle.
"But father, he saved my life!" the Princess cried out.
As the Guards dragged Geed helplessly out of the castle, they were knocked down by another jet of fire. Everyone turned around and saw Romanus.
"Let the boy go your majesty, he is innocent!" Romanus said.
"You don't frighten me Romanus, if you stand in my way, I really will kill you" the King threatened.
Then he intentionally knocked Geed down with a blast of fire. Canine immediately rushed out as the Castle collapsed.
"Stop hurting him father!" the Princess cried.
"This is your last warning King Elrand, stop hurting the boy!" Romanus warned.
"Or what?!" the King roared shooting another jet of fire at Geed.
"Your majesty, please stop…" Geed pleaded.
"What will you do? The power of fire is strongest in Phoenicia's Royal Family. What will you do demon child?" the King mocked.
"Why? Why do you call me that? Why do you all treat me as if…as if I'm Lord Darkmanner!" Geed questioned.
"King Elrand, the boy is very unstable now. Stop this childishness or risk destruction. Fate has decided that the son of darkness must wield the powers of light. He alone can restore the balance that Darkmanner destroyed" Romanus said.
"Let's see how you'll stop me!" the King said.
"Your majesty, please stop…" Geed pleaded.
"Listen to them father" the Princess pleaded.
The King charged up a huge fireball.
"Now demon child, return to the darkness from whence you came!" he roared.
"ELRAND STOP!" Romanus commanded.
The King threw the fireball at Geed.
"Enough! I can't take this anymore! ENOUGH!" Geed roared.
The fireball was immediately dispelled. The sky began to darken as the mark of the Five Point Star on Geed's shoulder began to glow. The moon turned black and all the birds began to fly away.
"MY SPIRIT CRIES YOUR MAJESTY! IT CRIES WITH PAIN! IT CRIES WITH ANGER! IT CRIES…WITH HATRED!" Geed roared with two voices at once.
Sudden realization hit Romanus. Those were Darkmanner's words.
"Could it be, the boy is unsealing the Dark Lord?" Romanus asked himself.
Geed pounced on the King and grabbed his arms. The King jumped back in fright. Geed noticed dark energy flowing through the King's veins.
"You really thought you could deceive me and destroy the Princess? DISILLUSION!" Geed called and the King disappeared.
In his place stood Lord Kane.
"HAHAHA! You are just like your father. I wanted to test your strength young devil" Lord Kane laughed in glee.
"I'M NOTHING LIKE MY FATHER!" Geed exclaimed shooting a huge force of Light into Lord Kane.
With a yell, Lord Kane disappeared. Then the real King rushed out and saw Geed, the Firehound, Canine, and his rage became great.
"Son, Geed, let go of the darkness" Romanus coaxed.
At this, the moon appeared and the darkness lifted. The mark on Geed's shoulder disappeared and he fainted.
"KILL THEM ALL!" the King ordered the Guards.
"Father, he saved me" the Princess pleaded. "Please spare them, they are innocent".
"My daughter, you know very well that the use of magic in this kingdom is strictly forbidden. The boy broke this rule. The penalty is death" the King informed the Princess.
"Princess Alice, do not give up. If I fail, you must unite the others and stop Kane. The spirit of fire, emblem of courage lives in you and though your father chooses to see only destruction, the magic that lives in me and you will bring peace to this world" Geed said weakly.
"Canine! Quick! Take Geed and escape! You know his destiny!" Romanus ordered.
Canine quickly carried Geed unto his back and began to speed away.
"No! Romanus! Get out of there!" Geed exclaimed but this was not to be so.
There was a brilliant flash of fire and Geed saw Romanus fall!
"ROMANUS!" Geed called.
"Be strong Geed, Romanus has performed his duty, now you must perform yours and fulfill your destiny" Canine tried to comfort Geed.
Tears ran down Geed's face.
"Why? Why is this happening?" he cried.
Suddenly, another blast of fire hit Canine. Geed fell roughly off Canine's back.
"CANINE!" Geed called.
The King's soldiers were gaining on them. Geed quickly drew he replica of the Five-Point Star.
"Hang in there Canine, I'll get us out of here" Geed said wiping tears off his face.
The soldiers were getting closer.
"EARTH!" Geed called as he began the ritual.
The King ordered his archers to shoot and kill Geed and Canine.
"WATER! FIRE! WIND! DARK!" Geed summoned the power of the spirits.
The Archers pulled their arrows and released.
"LIGHT!" Geed called as the flash of light from before teleported Canine and himself out of Phoenicia.
"I hope we meet again, noble hero" the Princess said as tears flowed down her face.
