Meanwhile, with David and Chris. The two raged onward with their epic clash for the Heartlin Staff and the power of Asalikith being the Heartlin Stones. Chris used many sneaky tactics and blasts to outsmart David, except David knew and had foreseen his attacks with his phantom hymn's passive skill. Chris unleashed his flesh-stretching arms and ambushed David to tire his breath low; the flesh attached to Chris's body morphed and mutated in many forms and overwhelmed David. However, the king continued vanishing from the attacks and saw that the young and influential Chris had not shown signs of giving up from attacking, "(This kid is a pain; he's not quitting from reaching for the staff. Why would he want these stones? It's not like he'll even scratch the surface of laying a finger on it. He'll then realize his mistake in trying to take them.)" David asked himself during battle. Chris continued blasting the room while sensing the ability force of the king; Chris's anger only built up and worsened; then, out of nowhere, the king reappeared and struck Chris through the lungs with a ghost slayer. David removed the sword and shoved him down after his attack; unfortunately, Chris recovered quickly and struck David from the back, striking him to the floor. At that moment, Chris unhinged himself and offered no mercy, with all his power dripping from him. The Valkyries then attempted to assist David but were slammed against the walls with sharp display objects. David swiped his hand to his left, created a strong gust of phantom energy wind, and knocked Chris into a knight's sword display. Then suddenly, a burst of malicious energy erupted from Chris as he remained impaled from the sword display, "Worthless nobody, you think you can erase me from this world, fool! I am the one who will rewrite everything for a better life. You, Taski, and the rest will suffer for your sins."
Chris uttered loudly. He then removed himself from the display sword, and with much blood dripping from his intestines, he was restored completely. Chris rushed a barrage of attacks, sword slashes, and blast attacks. It was almost on uneven ground with David, and he was overwhelmed with little options for a secured win to be assured. Then, Chris blasts David into blindness and throws him through the room's walls; after that, Chris busts through the shard of glass containing the Heartlin Staff. The power of the stones began to surge through Chris's body and caused slightly powerful pain through his brain, heart, and other parts due to the immense power of the stones. The staff was then blown out of Chris's hands and slipped through the cracks that led outside to the streets; with utter determination surging from him like a maniac, he chased after the staff like someone without food for weeks. Chris then landed on the streets and noticed someone else had joined the fight with him and David; Queen Tailzy grabbed the staff with a special glove intended for holding it. David then joined her and ordered the staff from her; as she swiftly tossed it toward David, she quickly learned of Chris's upgraded power and speed. Chris stretched out his arm, grabbed the staff from her, and deformed himself, rushing away from the battle. David became infuriated and alerted the others of Chris's location; Tailzy summoned her horse and took to the skies in pursuit of Chris.
Meanwhile, Yegor and Mandy slashed through the Valkyries at the bridge, guarding the bridge's entry toward the city. Many of the Valkyries were wounded and suffered brutalities, and Yegor's wild rage mutilated some; however, some of them stood firm ground against him and Mandy. Some of them managed to draw blood from the two invaders.
Unfortunately, even with the massive number of Valkyries present, their strength could not match Yegor's power or Mandy's. The assistant captain guarded the entry with all the power he could draw out; the pain of watching his men and women being slaughtered was the deep pain he suffered while holding down the front entry. He summoned his great guardian armor and prepared himself for the coming of the two invaders; at that moment, he knew his destiny was slowly approaching him. He summoned his great armada destroyer blade. The Valkyries knew their power came nowhere close to Yegor's or Mandy's, but their drive for the city, along with the rest of the land and the people, was their only source of power and courage. Yegor faced many injuries and fatal blows to his body; fortunate for them, their power outmatched the army of Valkyries. Thus, the assistant captain was the only roadblock for the two ravenous invaders. "You've slaughtered all my units and have arrived to fight me, and now you've brought upon yourself your death. My blade contains my life force, and I shall collect yours. You two are far past redemption from your sins and destruction; now, you both will pay the price for your evil hearts." Cane, the Lead Assistant of the Valkyries, announced aloud. Then came Zaley, the female captain of the Zodiac squad of the Valkyries, "You monsters will suffer loss, here and now. Your actions have surpassed limits; now get ready to face your death today at this spot!" Zaley of the Zodiac squad announces to them. The teams of two then engaged in their epic clash for victory, while further out from the bridge, Darice zipped through multiple titans and soldiers of the Dark Eibax.
King David's transmission finally came through to the knights' communication devices. "Knights, this is terrible. Chris has gotten the Heartlin Staff and is running through the city, and all knights must act immediately. We can't allow Chris to escape with the stones, track his force down, and stop him at all costs." David announced to every knight, unit, and Valkyrie. Darcie then caught a slight feeling of Chris's force; she rushed to his location and tagged him down, along with the staff. Darcie grabbed the staff quickly before he rebounded. After she dashed out of the scene, Chris became enraged and slithered down into the closest sewer system to track Darcie underground. Darcie dashed through the streets at hypersonic speed, avoiding all fights with Titans and soldiers and rushing the staff outside the city perimeters. However, Chris splashed out from the sewer pipe under her and knocked her to the ground, causing the staff to drop from her grip. Chris reached in to grab the stones but was knocked back far from the impact of Darcie's lightning fist.
Then, Chris surrounded the area with his extended flesh, trapping her with no escape, "Drop the staff, and I'll drop my flesh barrier. Resist, and you'll suffer death." Chris warns her of her decision. Suddenly, Chris's flesh was then burned down by Taski and Killian's flame and magma. "Hurry, sis! Get that stuff out of here; we'll keep him back from you. GO!" Taski commanded her. Darice wasted no time and rushed the staff out of the zone. Now, Taski and Killian fought against Chris and his corrupted flesh to hold him down; however, Chris had other plans instead and stuck Taski and Killian in thick and robust flesh pounds.
Chris fled the scene and resumed his pursuit of the staff; fortunately for Taski and Killian, it wouldn't take too long for them to be free from the tightened flesh. Darcie remained focused on escaping from Treesape but experienced many roadblocks. Then, coming from behind was Chris himself, "You are only delaying my inevitable plan; there is no stopping me; my plan shall become a reality. You're going to regret doing that, Darcie." Chris threatened her with the coming consequences. He then rushed at her violently and struck her hard into a nearby vehicle, breaking the glass and slicing her skin brutally, causing her to drop the staff. The staff had flown far from her, and Darcie was struck in the face multiple times by the brutal force of Chris's dark, malice energy strikes. Then, out of nowhere, Sesakayla and Tesakai tackled Chris and joined the fight with the rest of the knights. Soon after, Taski, Killian, Drake, Mikado, Toronto, and Sharaletta surrounded Chris. As Chris observed the knights surrounding him, he looked over to the staff near the fire; he then burst into laughter in a maniac-like manner and said to them, "What a pathetic attempt from all of you mortals. This is what everything has led to all of you against me; you're all against me in a nine vs. one match, and you think it's your advantage, HA! Give me a break, and I'm not intimidated by your power of friendship garbage. Come At Me, ALL OF YOU!"
After he spoke these words, Taski, Darcie, Mikado, Drake, Killian, Sharaletta, Toronto, Sesakayla, and Tesakai all then charged together in their biggest fight yet. The Knights all ambushed the adversary of darkness, and together with all their might, Chris evaded, dodged, jumped, clashed, and fought back against them on his own. Though the knights dealt most of the winning damage, Chris survived long enough and pushed forward with his master plan for the Heartlin Stones. Taski and Tesakai had done most of the hard-knocking damage; Sharaletta and Darcie combined their speed and reactions and knocked him into a large street sign and a large red bus. Toronto and Killian swung their weapons together, and sliced through Chris's flesh attack while also dealing severe damage to him, Mikado and Drake both charged in and punished Chris with a weapon of the streets. Mikado threw many street poles toward Chris, while Drake struck him against the face with a sharp crowbar before Mikado's ambush of street poles struck. Sesakayla then jumped in and unleashed an all-mighty Strike of Death (死の攻撃) upon the upper body of Chris; this strike shattered his bones and lungs and splattered his heart. The impact was enough force and power that caused his intestines and heart to fly out of his body and leave a massive gaping hole within his chest. Afterward, she then struck his face powerfully and knocked off his bottom jaw, dislocating his larynx and snapping his back spinal cord. Chris was left in total desolation, and Taski jumped ahead and sliced in half from his head to his feet. Chris was left in complete devastation from the work the knights had displayed; however, when it seemed that victory was officially sealed, Chris instantly regenerated every wound he had received and erupted a blast of anger. The knights were then tossed back into the destruction of the city structures nearby,
"(How, how can he have so much power within him? Is he... immortal or something? If so, we're doomed for good.)" Darcie thought to herself, at a loss for words due to Chris's immense power. The intense scream became hurtful to the ears of those who fought him. A large dark purple light struck the city, and a large energy force beacon filled the skies. The light exploded large enough that the cloudy skies became bright and clear; the sun was then revealed, and the sky had become bright blue. The knights became aware of his eruption and stood up from their damage to prepare for the next round. "You pathetic, worthless, hopeless, valueless, and purposeless fools. You do not know your place, knights. I'll have to show all of you how it's done!" Chris exhorted aggressively towards them in his wrath. He attacked them like before; however, the knights remained strong and engaged in their second round against the adversary of darkness. The knights knocked him back once again, and they struck him all together in joined forces; Chris then struck them all, crashing them into window glass, signs, and vehicles. Both factions pushed and fought each other with all their might; after that, Chris released his eternal fracture upon the knights and knocked them far with an all-out and infernos blast. The blast was too much for the knights and damaged them and the surrounding city structures. After the blast disappeared, the only treasure remaining forward was the Heartlin Staff, with the Heartlin Stones. Chris then walked toward the staff and grabbed it quickly; suddenly, behind him was a strong and brave Knight. Taski Mandelen rose from the destruction of the dark attack and grabbed the other end of the staff. "I am not letting you have this staff nor the stones! You, Chris, have taken this too far. You're going down!" Taski promised to him with anger.
Chris pulled the other end with all his strength while applying extra grip strength from his flesh. "You, I hate you, Taski, I HATE YOU! You will perish with these people, along with your kingdom! Do you think you're a hero? Not only that, but you're a complete and total failure, a waste of space, a failed creation! I will kill you, and I'll make sure you die a slow and painful death, so long old friend!" Chris humiliated and cursed Taski in hateful words. Taski gripped the staff with all he could extract from himself; though Chris had him beat, he held on to faith and charged a fire shot in his open hand. Chris likewise charged his dark flame and thrust forward his attack; the two clashed their fists together and flew back away from the staff. Taski swiftly recovered and rushed forward; even with his wounds damaged severely and blood dripping from his extreme cuts, he rushed for the staff. Chris extended his arms incredibly fast, attempting to push back the prince and claim his prize. However, Taski summoned flame core just as he was about to collide with Chris's arms and slashed through the obstacle. The two clashed once again, with the staff in both hands and only one would take the prize from the Heartlin staff. Taski then developed a plan that was life or death, and he thought to himself, "(This could kill me right here, but I have no other options. His strength is way far past mine. I'll have to grab the stones barehanded. Here goes nothing!)." Taski then reached in on Chris's end and grabbed the stones from the slates they sat in. The anguishing burns from the stones nearly melted off the skin on his hand; however, the thought of the world, the people, the kingdom, and his family and friends weighed in on him.
The burning pain was too much for his heat, and his hand began to give out from the stones' power fluctuating throughout his body. "(This heat, It's starting to feel like it's melting away my hand; I've gotta ignite my hands in the hottest flames I can burn. Hopefully, it'll mix in with my heat.") Taski thought to himself during the pain. Then, out from the ashes came a tall and fearsome warrior, Yegor Antakov, who reached in and tackled Taski down from the unknown and knocked the Heartlin Stones from his grip. Taski then looked toward the stones and realized his mistake had become the ultimate doom of the kingdom. Chris then grabbed all 4 of the stones, and thus, a powerful and massive energy shockwave erupted from him. Taski thought at that moment, "(No! This can't be, he let me grab them purposely.)" He thought to himself as he watched the sky become a bright and hot beacon of light and felt himself fall through a deep and large hole underground due to the area's explosion. Then, out of nowhere, Ariah's roses wrapped around Taski from head to toe and thus covered him. The power brushed away all within range, and the power from Chris's explosion even incinerated some. "(TASKI!)" Ariah shouts out loud to Taski. "(No. I failed, I failed, All of Us.)" Taski utters one last time. The large white beacon then engulfed the city, and all were swallowed by the power unleashed upon Treesape, Asalikith, and even the entire Earth. The sounds of screaming were heard, the sounds of destruction, and the sound of total annihilation were heard from a long-mile radius. A total blackout remained in the city of Treesape for an entire day after the beacon explosion, and no sign of Taski was visible, according to the Dark Eibax, not even Chris. (Finally, I've done it. I've completed my purpose and reborn the Earth in my new format. It's time to begin building my world, my kingdom. There, I shall rule it all and shall be its king.)"
Chris thought to himself amid the devastation of the city. During that day, Taski had awoken from the terrible chaos that abolished the kingdom. "What... happened? Where am I?" Taski asked himself. He then removed a large stone structure off his body and glanced at the hole above him; he then jumped his way up through the hole and landed back on the city level. He was then terrified and confused at the sky's red appearance; he also noticed the many creatures flying around the city and wondered what had happened during his time of unconsciousness. Not only that, but he then remembered the dream he had upon the shuttle during his travel to Tennessee, he recognized the tall skyscraper that appeared in his dream. "(This can't be real, it was a vision of what was coming.)" He reminded himself, deep in his thoughts. Then coming from the pile of rubble next to him was a survivor, he looked over and saw it to be Mandy Oliver. "He did it. He got what he wanted, for sure." She said to him in complete disappointment. Taski then looked at her with a disappointing but confusing look. He then drew his sword out to battle Mandy, "Tell me now, What's Going On!? I know you knew he was going to do this all along." Taski argued with her, enraged to fury. She disagreed with him and argued her view of Chris. Taski refused and backed her against a pile of rubble, ready to strike her down at any moment. She summoned her kunai knives and charged straight at him in a battle.
Taski clashed his blade against her knives effortlessly; Mandy remained too frustrated and failed to find her concentration. He then knocked her back and thrust his sword hard enough, knocking away her knives out of her hand; not only that, he pinned her down to the ground and trapped her. "Listen to me; either help me win this fight with Chris, or you can die with the rest of the Solar Pyramids. Deal?!" Taski and Mandy remained the only known survivors in Treesape City. The path seemed uncertain to our hero. However, a new challenge awaits him, as well as Mandy. Thus, the two agreed to help each other in their latest crisis.
