Haruko POV
It's been hours and Ghost still hasn't awoken. Quintus still seemed confident that he didn't need any help to defeat Hein and left on his own. Shylo had to lead a direct assault to the west because they were getting close to the Gods of Powers Fortress. Baron had to defend the east wing of Xera's gate. Windia, Flame, and his generals are leading a direct assault on his fortress to buy us time.
"So you're Haruko?" Someone says.
I look at the stranger standing in front of me. How he got onto my ship is unknown. There's no way he could have just by passed all of my guards. He wore a dark hood and I couldn't see his face.
"You are?" I say.
"Hein." He says.
I swing my sword, not giving him a chance to defend himself. He grabs it and throws it to the side.
"Your weapon doesn't have any effect on me. I just came here to warn you about the safety of your son." He says, disappearing into the air.
I rush to the control panel and begin to prepare my ship for dimensional travel.
"Lord Haruko where are we going? Shall we tell the rest of our soldiers to stay or get into their warships?" A commander says.
"Tell them to all come, were going to Gaia." I say.
Other warships fly into the sky, waiting for me to venture forth into our homeland.
Dayton POV
"I can't believe this is our homeland." Aiyana says crying.
I look around as our plants, trees, and animals turn to ashes.
"They would have sent in reinforcements if they would have known that we were under siege right?" Royke says.
"This can't be happening. Are we actually losing this war?" I say.
"I think so Dayton." Vicious says.
"We have to do what we're told and just find Delfoi who's still trapped inside the fortress" I say.
"There are thousands of soldiers here. How are we supposed to get into the castle?" Miyuki says.
"Same way we get through everything" I say, summoning my sword to my hand.
"There's thousands of them Dayton and only 6 of us!" Riku says.
I give him the face that I don't care how many of them there is.
"He's right Dayton, we can't take them alone. We're not immortal like the previous six. We bleed and we die, stop acting as if we're immortal." Royke says.
I grab my chest as I experience sudden pains in my chest. I gasp for air as I try to recover from the effect of the pain in my chest. I feel the rage in me boil and I begin to lose my sanity.
¨You will obey me! ¨ I scream.
Royke POV
I've never seen Dayton like this. It's as if he's losing control of his body.
¨Dayton, were not going¨ I say.
¨You will or you will die! ¨ Dayton yells.
He swings Ghost's axe at my direction. I try to use my sword to block the incoming blow. Even with my sword deflecting all the incoming attacks. Ghost's axe was way too strong for any of our weapons.
"Dayton, stop." Aiyana yells.
"Stop Dayton" Someone says.
I look towards the forest to see Shylo rushing Dayton's way. Dayton swings his axe, underestimating Shylo's power. Shylo sends a demonic chain straight into Dayton's chest, instantly knocking him unconscious. Aiyana helps me up as I look down at Dayton returning back to his normal state.
"What happened and how exactly did you know that we were going be here?" I say.
"Lord Haruko will tell you after we finish our mission. Something occurred and every General that is avaible is looking for you six. I was told if I found you to help you on your mission." He answers.
"So what's the plan than?" Aiyana says.
"We begin moving once Prince Dayton awakens." Shylo says.
"First off, don't call us Prince, Lord, or anything around them lines." I say.
"I wasn't planning to." Shylo replies.
We set up a camp around the edge of Gods of Powers fortress.
"Well, in the morning we go destroy the castle even more." Miyuki whispers to me.
"Yea, I know." I reply.
Ghost POV
It's very hard to tell if you're dreaming or not when you're able to sleep inside a dream. In 3 hours will be the exact time Zeru stabs me in my back.
"Lord Zeru, our soldiers have 79% of Beijing captured. Shall we send the soldiers into the capital now or wait?" Haruko says.
"Send them in and live there Emperor alive. I will deal with him myself." Zeru says.
Zeru points at me and tells me to aid Haruko in leading the soldiers to battle. It's been a very long time sense Zeru has actually been a good guy. I hate remembering times like this where the people you thought you could trust betrayed you. I look at my clock and notice that in about another hour Zeru will try to stab me.
