Kingdom of Katolis
"Sire, the people are becoming restless, they are destroying property and attacking guards." The second council member said.
"Yes, I know, but we can't harm them in any way." Ezran said.
"Sire, I know that you want to follow your father's ambitions, but we need to look at the alternatives." The first council member said.
"And what do you propose?" Ezran said.
"We call upon our allies and show the people that we mean business." The first council member said.
"No we can't do that, the people would just become more violent." The second council member said.
"Then what should we do, nothing?" The first council member said. Just then a guard came into the throne room and gave a message.
"Sire, the people are becoming more blood thirsty, my men won't be able to stop them." The guard said.
"Activate our defenses, but only put on stun." Ezran said.
"Sire, they're being lead by General Amaya and General Xara." The guard said.
"What!?" Ezran said jumping from his throne.
"Those traitors, why would they do this!?" The third council member said.
"I don't know, but I intend to find out." Ezran said walking out of the throne room.
"Sire, that would be a bad idea, they could kill you." The second council member said.
"If so, then so be it, I will stop this without killing any of my people." Ezran said. He took several guards and went out to the courtyard. Once he got there he was met by Xara bit an angry crowd behind her. "Xara, what are you doing!?" Ezran said.
"I'm doing what's right, helping these people overthrow a corrupt government." Xara said.
"Xara, this isn't you, you have kids, a family. I don't think you're the same as before." Ezran said.
"I am the same, but I'm here to help the people that you have oppressed." Xara said.
"I did no such thing, all I did was try and protect them." Ezran said.
"By taking away their rights, how is that protection?" Xara said. The crowd behind her started to yell and cheer to what Xara was saying.
"If we are to stop Claudia and Soren, then we need to do what is necessary for all of us." Ezran said.
"Necessary? You took away their rights so you could gain more power." Xara said.
"No, if I didn't do what I did then Claudia would be on a rampage all over us and more innocent people would die." Ezran said.
"So you do admit that you took away their rights." Xara said.
"No, I didn't sa-" Ezran was cut off by an advance by the crowd.
"Really, you didn't mean to take away their rights, or were you trying to halt you opposition to the throne?" Xara said. The crowd moved up more and more, trying to get to Ezran.
The guards tried to hold off the angry citizens but it was for not. The citizens got through and tried to attack Ezran, clawing and stabbing at him with everything they could to hurt him. Ezran was able to get inside and lock the castle doors, but they wouldn't hold for long. He ordered the remaining guards to hold their positions and to buy time for as long as they could. He went to try and get the council away from the conflict, knowing that they would have to run away from the kingdom.
When he got to the throne room, all he could see was blood. The second, third, and fourth council members were on the floor, dead. He looked up and saw Amaya and Gren standing next to his throne with the first council member on the ground cowering, all bloody and bruised. He looked to see who was in his chair, and it was an Elf. He looked closer and saw it resembled the one Callum had talked about.
"Who are you?" Ezran said pulling out his sword.
Aavaros raised his hand and waved it to the side. Ezrans sword then flew out of his hands and into a stone pillar. "There is no need for violence." Aavaros said.
"Well that's a lie, you killed most of the council." Ezran said.
"Oh, then you are mistaken, they killed them." Aavaros said pointing at Amaya and Gren.
"H-how could you do this, betray your own kingdom!?" Ezran said.
"Well, we didn't really betray the kingdom." Amaya said. Ezran was shocked by his aunt talking, due to her being mute. Amaya's face started to reshape itself causing Ezran to walk back in fear to what he was seeing. When the transformation was done it revealed Claudia and Soren, where Amaya and Gren had stood.
"W-what have you done to them!?" Ezran yelled.
"Isn't it obvious, they killed them." Viren said from behind Ezran. Ezran turned around to see Viren and another man standing next to him with a plasma rifle. He knew that he was surrounded and couldn't run away, fight back, or call for help, he was trapped.
"So, this is how I die." Ezran said.
"No, but you will die soon." Aavaros said.
"How long was this planned?" Ezran said.
"That is none of your concern, what is however, is that the people outside get what they want." Aavaros said.
"Me." Ezran said.
"Yes, and you can't do anything to stop us." Soren said.
"Really?" Ezran said. He pulled a small knife from out of his gauntlet and threw it at Aavaros. The knife stopped in mid air right in front of Aavaros, just a centimeter away from him. The knife then shot back and into Ezrans shoulder, causing him to fall down to the floor in pain. Aavaros got up and walked over to Ezran who was trying to pull out the knife. Aavaros put his foot onto the knife and pressed down, causing Ezran to yell in pain from the knife digging into his skin.
"You are brave, but foolish to think you could kill me with a simple trick like that." Aavaros said.
"W-what do you want from me?" Ezran said.
"All I want is to destroy Xadia for what they did to me." Aavaros said.
"And for me to take control of Earth." Newt said.
"W-what makes you think you'll make them cower before you?" Ezran said.
"Even after I was sealed away, the meer mention of my name would stop any Elf in their tracks." Aavaros said.
"And once we take over this world…" Soren said.
"...We'll take over Earth and make it our new home." Claudia said.
"You're all delusional." Ezran said.
"And you'll be a martyr for those who fight back." Aavaros said. Aavaros brought his hand up and the sword flew to his hand. Aavaros looked at the sword and back at Ezran. "Your fathers, correct?" Aavaros said.
"Y-you have no right to hold that blade." Ezran said.
"Well, it should be poetic once you die from it." Aavaros said raising the sword up to finish the king. Before he could however, a blast came from the door and knocked down Viren and Newt. Out from the door came several guards, Shadow Elves, Rayla and Callum. Callum had a fire sword in one hand and a thunder sword in the other, while Rayla had two new Shadow Elf Assassin Blades. They looked and saw that Aavaros was about to kill Ezran.
Callum acted fast and threw both swords at Aavaros to distract him. The blades hit Aavaros and knocked him back and hit the throne, but he didn't even flinch. He pulled the blades out of his chest and used healing magic to seal up the wounds. Callum got Ezran up from the ground and took him back to the safety of the group.
"So you're the one that bested Claudia, impressive that you could use all forms of magic." Aavaros said.
"I don't need a compliment from you." Callum scowled.
"You would have made a great apprentice, but sadly you and your friends will die here." Aavaros said.
"Not likely." Rayla said.
"Ah, such fire from and Shadow Elf, I thought you all didn't like confrontations." Aavaros said.
"Times change, and so will we." Rayla said.
"How unfortunate that you won't live to change another time." Aavaros summoned several dark spears aiming at the group. "Any last words?"
"Yeah, Disapar Empirialis!" Callum yelled. The group was swallowed by a grey mist and was caught in the middle of it. There was a shine of light that came from within the mist. Once it had disappeared, so did the group of guards, Elves, and the king.
"They-they're gone." Claudia said.
"Thanks captain obvious, now what do we do since they are now gone?" Soren said.
"We rule the kingdom, and make sure to do it correctly." Aavaros said. Newt and Viren got up from under the door that fell on them. Claudia ran to her father to see if he was alright, while Newt was picked up by Soren.
"So, how do we find them?" Viren said.
"The spell that he used didn't take them far, but if we fail to act then they will escape us." Aavaros said.
"Then we will search for them." Claudia said.
"No, I need you to say here and monitor the kingdom, I will go after them." Aavaros said.
Australian Shatterdome
Peter and Jenara finally got to the shatterdome, and it didn't look pretty. The entire thing was smoking and clean up crews were everywhere. The kids saw the destroyed jaegers and were horrified that it happened so fast and easily. They scanned for Violet Thunder to see if it was still functioning, but when they saw it, it was the same as the other jaegers.
"Oh no." Jenara said starting to tear up.
"D-do you think mom survived?" Peter said.
"I don't know, but I wish she did." Jenara said.
The jaeger was placed in the water by the helicopters and went to help the others clean up. Jenara and Peter moved the jaeger to its designated position and awaited orders. They saw other jaegers standing guard as well, the one that stuck out to them was Striker Eureka.
*Welcome to Australia, and what's left of the shatterdome.* Chuck said.
"So did any of the pilots survive the attack?" Peter said in a Spanish accent.
*Some, but their are dead and missing pilots, so the clean up crew is trying to look for them.* Chuck said.
"They didn't attack the city?" Jenara said also in a Spanish accent.
*Surprisingly no, they only attacked the shatterdome, but we must stay vigilant to stop another attack.* Chuck said.
"How many casualties?" Peter said.
*About two thousand, but that's a low ball, who ever did this they're going to pay for this.* Chuck said.
"Agreed, we had a good friend of ours here" Peter said.
*Who?* Chuck said.
"It's...uh…. Mrs. Washington" Jenara said.
*Ah Xara, she was a great pilot and close friend, sorry for your loss.*Chuck said.
"Was her body part of the dead that was found?" Peter said.
*No, we scanned for any Elf readings but only found one, Kardu.* Chuck said.
Jenara quickly turned off the mic and turned to Peter. "She wasn't found in any of the scans, that means that she is probably still alive." Jenara said.
"Yeah, and the scans don't lie, so she was probably taken by whoever did this." Peter said.
"Did they say who attacked?" Jenara said turning on the mic.
*They said it was dark kaiju, but the only time we faced them was back in Xadia.* Chuck said.
"Thanks for the info." Peter said.
*What do you need it for?* Chuck said.
"They didn't brief us." Jenara said.
*Ah, they've been doing that for a while now, it suchs that new pilots aren't given the proper run down of the mission anymore.* Chuck said.
"Well we now know, thanks." Peter said.
*No problem, now get back into position.* Chuck said.
"Yes sir." Peter said turning off the mic. "We know where to look next."
"Xadia." Jenara said.
