GL: In this chapter, it is time to rescue Terra.

Elsword (Legend): I forgot who we are going to be facing at the top of the volcano.

GL: I guess you will remember because you will be facing it in this chapter. Now, let's go!

Elsword's PoV

It looks like we know where Terra is because Artea's knows where she's being kept.

"Master Terra is being kept in the darkest pits of the volcano. If the crystals that are draining her powers are fully done, we are doomed."

"Not if we have anything to say about it." I protest. "Which way to Terra?"

"Follow me, I'll show the way!"

We followed Artea to a mine shaft with a cart, big for all of us. "Are you sure you know how to drive this?" Aisha asked.

"Come on, it's rails. How hard can it be?" I said as I moved the cart. When we got into the tunnel, the cart was moving ridiculously fast. I could hardly see what's coming, I don't think any of us can. After 10 minutes of riding, we saw the rail has ended and we were sent flying high. We were piled up when we all crashed each other. "Get offa me!" I shouted because I was at the bottom crushed by everybody else.

We all managed to fix ourselves up, which took 2 minutes. "We're almost there! Be careful, The conductor and his maniacal locomotive will surely be close by." Artea warned us. Then another earthquake happened. Geez! How many earthquakes are we going to get? "We have to get moving, the volcano cannot hold for long!"

After we made quick steps and thrashing out demons, we've finally managed to get the center of the volcano and saw a lady trapped in a floating cage and she's being drained by some kind of dark crystal.

"Is that... Terra?" I asked Artea.

"Yes, my master." She replied.

"A sage being held prisoner in the center of an explosive volcano pretty sums it up." Aisha remarked.

"This is the first time I've seen a Guardian Sage with my own eyes." Chung said staring at Terra.

"Careful, everyone... it's never this easy."

"After what happened at the Plains of Damini, something would probably come out." Raven agreed.

Then a gate from the side of the volcano opened and what came out is a iron train and a Birdlan conducting it. "I knew it!" Raven groaned.

"You're a little late, fellas. The crystal's already charged and the volcano's ready to blow..." The conductor said. "But before it does, me and Steam here are gonna take great pleasure in running you guys down!"

"I'd like to see you try!" I drew my sword. Everyone else took out their weapons and the conductor started the train again. The battle for Terra is on!

The train moves ridiculously fast so we had trouble catching up to it, except for Chung and Eve who can shoot with their guns and Rena who can shoot arrows. When we try to attack him from behind, he drops bombs behind him causing us to stop and turn the other way. The bombs left out a big hole causing lava to fill it up. Sometimes magma rocks comes out from the lava and spreads around the area making it harder for us to move around. Steam will attempt to ram is us with it's very fast speed. Not able to react, he sent us flying to the walls.

"Owwww! Why does the rocks have to be so hard?" Aisha groaned as she was rubbing her butt after landing.

"We need heavier attacks if we're going to beat this guy." I said as I tried to get up.

"I got an idea." Chung took out some big grenades and threw three of them at the train. As they go off huge waves of explosion scattered around the area. As the smoke faded, the train seemed to be weakened.

"That was awesome, Chung!" I complimented him.

"My turn, LIGHTNING ENERGY SHOTS!" Aisha released three balls of lightning at the train. Before they could touch it, Rena took out some lightning arrows and shot them at the train.

"Oh no! You're not deserving all the lightning attacks without me." I transformed my Red Star to Lightning Star and summoned my giant blade made out of lightning. "THUNDERBOLT BLADE!" All three lightning attacks stroke at the train releasing a gigantic shockwave around the volcano. After the smoke was cleared, the train remained nothing but scrap. As for the conductor, he got completely disintegrated after the lightning shock.

After the battle, we broke Terra free from her cell. She was unconscious but she managed to regain after a couple of seconds. "Master Terra! Are you alright?" Artea asked her.

"Yes, I'm fine Artea." She replied. Then she looked at us but mostly at me. "The El-Warrior... lives" She said.

"He's got a name you know." Rena sighed.

"Y-Yeah, my name is Elsword... and you must be Terra." I said to her.

"Yes, yes I am, and I must say I never thought I'd live to meet you, Elsword."

"What? You're an El-Warrior? I haven't seen one of you since Elesis came along." Artea said surprised.

"Huh? You know my sister?" I asked.

"EH? You're her brother?... Come to think of it, she did have one when she was young."

"Um... I'd love to sit here and talk more, but we need to leave before the volcano blows up." Aisha interrupted.

"You're right. I've got to tell the others what Karis is up to." Terra told us.

As we were about leave, yet another earthquake popped up. Gimme a break already! This something or rather someone rose up from the ground. It was a female devil with red hair, black eyes, dark horns and some kind of demon clothes. That's when we realised that it was Karis, and she doesn't look happy to see us.

"Run!" Terra told us. "I'll hold her off."

Karis swiped the dark crystal and took off. Terra went after her but she was too weak from the draining, Karis took her down easily. Terra couldn't fight her on her poor condition. "Go, Elsword! Run like you've ran before!" She shouted. "I'll go back to the temple for help!"

And so we did. We ran without stopping. The cave was about to collapse because the volcano is almost about to explode, but we kept going. We finally managed to get out of the volcano as it explodes with magma erupting from it. We thought we were safe, but it didn't last long because Karis already caught up to us.

"So you're the ones who are trying to get in my way." She hissed. "Well, it won't be happening again once I'm through with you all!"

We were too exhausted to fight after running all the way here. I almost felt like it was the end for us until someone came to our rescue.

"Ignitus!" I yelled.

We watched the two fighting as they ascend to the skies. They were moving so fast, none of us could see them, especially when the sky was still dark. They began to fly far away causing us to lose our sight of them. I ran after them but Terra who came back stopped me. "We've got to find them... help Ignitus!" I panted.

"They're gone, Elsword. There's nothing we can do!" Rena said to me.

"I don't care... Ignitus wouldn't leave me..."

"Elsword. She's right." Terra agreed with Rena. "You'll never find them in this mess, and you're not ready to face Karis yet. The time to fight will... come but it is not now."

Terra was right, I could hardly even face her, even with all of my strength. So I had no choice but to agree. "I guess you're right. Let's go." I sighed. After that, we all headed back to the Temple of Warriors.

GL: That ends this chapter.

Elsword (Legend): 'Sigh' I should have done something so that Ignitus wouldn't be captured.

Rena (Legend): Let it go, Elsword. That's all in the past now.

Elsword (Legend): Yeah, you're right.

See you in the next chapter!
