Hey all! :D

I want to make an announcement! I have decided to start a brand new series!

As oppose to my first FF, "Undertails," I'm not sure on how it will play out. Will I stop making it or not, I still don't know.

Also, I apologize if this chapter seems bad. I had little time to proofread and check myself as I was surrounded by family.

By now, you are probably wanting to get back to the story, so here you go… you have been warned…


Barrage woke up around 7:00, mainly from Malefor's voice in his head, screaming, "The time has come for me to return!" Barrage was spooked by the sudden appearance of Malefor's voice, as he was actually having a good dream about destroying the Dragonriders, Spyro, and Cynder. He fell of his bed, landing on the hard ground beneath him with a thud.

"Ugh… master, please don't do that again," Barrage groaned as he rubbed his head.

"Very well… now, prepare for your task ahead, and bring terror upon the land!" Malefor commanded in his head. Barrage could hear an audible growl from Malefor inside his head.

"Yes, master. I will send some hunters with me to the Edge," Barrage said respectfully. He stretched as he walked out his tent and saw a fleet of ships in the docks. 'Well… this was a surprise. I didn't expect them to be ready this fast…'.

He walked up to Viskor, who trembled when he approached him. "Is the fleet battle ready yet?"

"Y-Yes sir!"

"Good," Barrage smirked, "open your map." Viskor did what he was told and opened a map of the archipelago. An island, Dragon's Edge, was circled in the center of it.

"I want you to place all your ships here and wait for my signal," Barrage instructed as he pointed to a small island just southbound of Dragon's Edge.

"Aye, b-but what will you be doing, sir?" Viskor asked, slightly shaking.

"Me? I'm gonna warm up before we storm the island. Speaking of, I will go ahead and start, we attack at 9:00 or until my command," Barrage spoke as he disappeared. Viskor watched as he teleported away, he turned back to the other hunters.

"Alright, saddle up. We leave now!"

7:45…

"I understand you had to eat, but can you be serious about this damn it. Remember, the barrier is at its weakest when the clock strikes 12:00," Malefor spoke in an annoyed tone.

"Right, but wouldn't it be easier to drop it when I have the chance! I don't want to risk losing a chance then losing altogether," Barrage asked.

"Fine… what are you doing anyway? Shouldn't you be be preparing?" Malefor growled.

"Like I said, I need to warm myself up, and what better way to do that than to have some nice target practice," Barrage chuckled darkly as he appeared high above a destroyed city. The island of Mertazlok.

"Why come back here, I thought you already gave them your wrath?" Malefor asked.

"I have, but a little more won't hurt me," Barrage smiled as he lifted his palms in the air. A small ball of darkness began to form in his palms, as the skies around grew darker. The ball began to grow in strength as bolts of darkness and Barrage's dark energy began to build up in it. Malefor could sense his intention and smiled inside.

Every dragonese on the ground watched the skies grow dark and lightning strike an object far beyond from what they can see. After a few minutes of charging the attack up, Barrage smiled.

"Shadowstrike… FIRE!" Barrage screamed as he thrusted his palms downward and fired a large beam of darkness. It traveled at sonic speeds towards its target, the inhabitants of Mertazlok. All who saw the beam attempted to run away from the impending doom, but it was far too late. Everything, along with its inhabitants were annihilated completely. Cities were blown to bits as everything, including its huge mountain, destroyed. Barrage let the beam continue for a few moments before cutting off the energy and the attack ceased. Barrage looked at the results and just smiled. There was nothing or no one down there that could've survived the attack… he destroyed everything.

"I am impressed… very impressed. Use that power to take the island, eliminate all those who stand in your way, and FREE ME!" Malefor screeched.

"Yes, I will, master," Barrage spoke plainly as he teleported and found Viskor's fleet nearby the Edge. Barrage was impressed that they were able to cover that amount of distance in such a short amount of time. He appeared next to Viskor, who shrieked when he showed up next to him.

"S-S-Sir!" He jumped.

"Change of plans, I want you to attack now, but if things get bad instantly, retreat," Barrage spoke.

"B-But sir-!" Viskor tried to protest.

"DO IT NOW!" Barrage screamed at Viskor, who shrunk down to the size of an ant when Barrage screamed at him.

"Y-Y-Yes sir!" He saluted as he stood back up. Barrage smiled as the numerous ships began to converge on the island. 'Here comes the reckoning…'.


Back with the heroes…

Everyone woke up at sunrise (about 7:30), and looked at final preparations. The sun was up, but the area around still felt dark. Especially if one looked directly up at the sky, as a small black part remained. Everyone had gotten battle ready and were eating a nice breakfast before the final battle. As they sat around the table, the Dragonriders had a look of uncertainty on their faces.

"So, think we'll be able to stop Barrage from resurrecting Malefor?" Astrid asked.

Hiccup replied, "Hopefully, because if we don't-"

"It could mean the end of all of us," Fishlegs finished.

Hiccup sighed, "we need to stay focused. No joking around, the fate of the world lies on our shoulders."

"Honestly, I don't see what the problem is, no more responsibility. I think you guys are worrying too much," Tuffnut leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes. He opened his eyes when there was a long pause. Everyone but Ruffnut looked surprised at what he said.

Hiccup breathed out and clapped his hands together, "let me try to put this in a Thorston perspective. If the world dies, there will be no more boar pit."

The Twins gasped, "how could that monster do that?! We must destroy him once and for all!"

"Now that we're unified here," Hiccup muttered that first bit before continuing, "we should check up on the others." Everyone nodded in agreement as they finished up and walked out of the meeting hall. They approached the fields where Their dragons, Damian, Viper, Spyro, Cynder, and Vortex were located. All of them were having a conversation about something.

As Hiccup approached them, he overheard what they were saying.

"... saying, there are other things it can do besides THAT," Vortex's voice trailed in.

"Don't you think that using that much power would put to much strain on your body?" Cynder asked Vortex.

"Maybe," Vortex then noticed the Riders approaching.

"Oh! Hi, guys!" Viper waved happily to them.

"Hey guys. You guys look ready for one hell of a fight! Anyway, how's our defenses looking?" Vortex got straight to the point.

"Besides our dragons, we have a few catapults and spear launchers on the cliff side just in case," Fishlegs chimed in.

"Well that's great and all, but…" something caught Vortex's attention as he faced the ocean.

"C'mon, we're waiting!" Snotlout shouted angrily as he crossed his arms.

"You guys didn't call for any backup, right?" Vortex didn't turn.

"Uhh… no?" Hiccup returned.

He looked back towards them, "then you might wanna see this…". Everyone ran to where he was standing and looked into the sea. There were dozens of ships, all close to their port. They all bore the markings of…

"... Dragonhunters!" Hiccup screamed.

"Who and what are they?" Spyro yelled out a question.

"Ruthless warriors who hunt dragons with anti-dragon weaponry! Don't let their arrows or anything hit you!" Hiccup yelled back.

"I'll take your word on it!" Cynder returned.

"Everyone, form up!" Hiccup yelled as his dragon ran up next to him and took off. Everyone followed up his lead, with Vortex, Damian, and Viper standing by on the island. Hiccup noticed this and flew back towards them, hovering over the wolf.

"Why aren't you going with?" Hiccup asked.

"I'm staying here just in case they make it through. Them? Probably to operate the big guns or something," Vortex shrugged.

"Alright, but be careful," Hiccup nodded as he flew away. All the dragons began to rapidly strike down boat after boat. They were destroyed or highly damaged, as wave after wave of elemental abilities blew apart hull after hull. Dragonhunters screams filled the air as each ship was blown apart.

"Hahaha! This is too easy!" Snotlout cheered as Hookfang blew apart a mast.

"Be careful! We don't know if this is a coincidence or part of Barrage's attack!" Hiccup responded as he and Toothless dodged a volley of arrows.

"Look! They're falling back!" Astrid pointed out as the remaining ships were pulling away from the battle. There were still burning vessels within the waters, but several were destroyed with ice, earth, or charred by lightning. The dragons and Dragonriders returned to the ledge of the Edge and touched down next to the the wolf and two dragonese.

"That was amazing!" Damian cheered.

"That was too easy, something's up," Spyro said as he touched down.

"Agreed, everyone, be on guard for-" Viper tried to speak, but a bolt of lightning shot between him and his brother. Everyone turned to see a human-like dragon standing there, his arm extended outward with a small puff of smoke emanating from his palm.

"Me…" he smirked as he finished the sentence.

"Barrage!" Viper grew angered as he coiled his claws.

"Long time, no see, traitor!" Barrage snared.

"What do you want from us?!" Damian retorted.

"Oh, besides blowing up islands, destroying things that caused me pain in the past, and reviving someone… not much. Stay outta my way and you die… for now…" Barrage smirked.

Vortex put what he said into perspective. 'What did he mean by "blowing up islands" and "destroying things that caused me harm in the past"?' Then it hit him. His face fell with sudden fear. "No… you didn't…".

"Oh yes I did," Barrage chuckled.

"What is he talking about?" Stoick asked, rather annoyed. Vortex disappeared for a few moments, not before returning. He fell on his knees and hung his head.

"What happened?!" Snotlout yelled at the wolf.

"...the island…" Vortex spoke quietly, voice slightly wavering.

"SPEAK UP! WE CAN'T HEAR YOU!" Snotlout yelled.

"...Mertazlok… it's… its been destroyed," he spoke in the same voice. Everyone gasped as they fell back on what he said.

"No… all of our people… are dead?" Damian and Viper asked simultaneously, which Vortex only nodded. Tears formed within the two dragons eyes. All of a sudden, Damian screamed at Barrage, who was unmoved by anything.

"YOU… I'LL… I'LL KILL YOU!" Damian screamed.

"Good luck with that, bud," Barrage got into a fighting stance.

Music: Native Faith (Touhou 10) plays…

Damian charged at Barrage with a flaming fist, but Barrage smacked him out of the air. He flew into a wall and was down for the count. Viper did a similar attack with range but Barrage fired an ice block that hit him and launched him back to the same spot as Damian, both down.

"Take to the skies!" Hiccup shouted as everyone except for Vortex flew into the skies. Vortex, on the other hand, went over to help out Damian and Viper, which Barrage surprisingly didn't pay much attention to.

"Toothless, plasma blast!" Hiccup shouted as Toothless fires a blob of purple energy at Barrage.

"Oh, please. This is just a waste of ti-" Barrage was cut off when he reached out his palm and stopped the blast. It combusted in his hand and a small pain reached him as he retracted his hand. There was a small sindge mark where the ball hit his hand.

"Alright, human. That actually hurt," Barrage shook his hand and growled slightly.

"Keep it up, bud!" Hiccup shouted as they continued firing at Barrage. He growled as he dodged attack after attack, then the rest joined it.

"Ruff! Tuff!" Hiccup shouted at the Twins. They nodded and began to circle Barrage.

"What's this?" Barrage said annoyingly as they spewed out green smoke.

"This will stop you from destroying our boar pit!" They both screamed.

Barrage held the most blanked look, "your what?" Instantly, the smoke exploded, shrouding him in a thick black smoke. The blast stung, but the immense amount of attacks coming through the smoke made it impossible to dodge, defend, or even fight back.

"They might beat him!" Vortex watched as the battle continued. Damian and Viper opened their eyes to watch. Vortex continued to use his healing abilities while they watched. All of a sudden, the smoke was pushed back by Barrage using a wind ability. He was covered in bruises.

"ENOUGH!" He screamed as a red shockwave emanated from his snout. It traveled fast at the heroes, changing the air and effecting the skies. Everyone but Fishlegs and Meatlug managed to escape the fury. Those two were caught in the wave and immediately brought down to the ground, crashing into the ground.

"He used the Fear Ability!" Cynder shouted in shock as another wave came flying at her.

"Yeah! We need to think! How do we beat him?" Hiccup yelled as he dodged a fire blast. Before anyone could say anything else, everyone watched as the Twins blew past them and charged at Barrage.

"Guys, NO!" Hiccup shouted, but it was far too late.

"THIS IS FOR THE BOAR PIT!" They both screamed as they and their dragon charged at Barrage head on. Barrage rolled his dragon eyes as he jumped above them. He then slammed into the Zippleback's back, plummeting then into the ground.

"Foolish," He shook his head as he sighed. He looked up at the volcano. 'I have to press on the top of the Volcano, now!' He spread his wings and began to fly up towards the top of the volcano.

"Hey, where do you think your going?" Snotlout shouted and followed him in pursuit.

"After them!" Hiccup shouted as the rest of the available Dragonriders followed after them.

"Lets go!" Vortex snapped his fingers as he, Viper, and Damian teleported onto a nearby ledge just barely below the volcano's top. They watched Snotlout, riding a almost fully covered in flames Hookfang,

"Get back here!" Snotlout screamed as he and his dragon chased the elusive Barrage. All the sudden, Barrage, close to the top of the summit, turned around and faced the oncoming Snotlout and Hookfang. He held out an orb of darkness.

"Shadowstrike!" He yelled as he thrusted his palm out. A small beam of darkness shot out. Snotlout gave a "ah, crap", and attempted to dodge, but they were caught in the beam. He screamed as he and his dragon fell onto the ledge that Vortex, Viper, and Damian were located.

"Snotlout!" Hiccup and Vortex screamed. Vortex ran over to Snotlout, while Hiccup and Astrid remained in the air above. Vortex put a paw on his neck.

"He's still alive!" Vortex sighed with relief. They all grew a heavy, angered expression when Barrage hovered above all of them, laughing in amusement.

"You think this is funny?!" Hiccup shouted angrily.

"Hilarious," Barrage smiled coldly.

"You… YOU WILL PAY!" Hiccup screamed as he, Astrid, and their dragons charged. However, Barrage saw this coming and fired two more attacks similar to how he took down Snotlout. They both fell onto the ledge. Stoick attempted a surprise attack from behind, but was met with a quick attack that thrusted him down onto the same ledge.

"Guys!" Vortex shouted in fear as he ran over to them. They all were unconscious, except for Damian and Viper, who were struggling to stand upright.

"I'm gonna grab the Twins and Fishlegs from the base of the volcano! Keep him busy until I get back!" Vortex said as he teleported to find and retrieve Fishlegs, Ruffnut, Tuffnut, and their dragons.

Spyro and Cynder nodded as they flew up at Barrage. Firing wave after wave of unyielding elemental attacks. Barrage smiled, 'Finally…'. He fired a area of effect blast that knocked them to the ground. They didn't get back up. Barrage just frowned, 'that was no fun. And I thought they were powerful'.

"And I thought they would be a challenge to you," Malefor spoke in his head.

Viper looked at his fallen friends then back up at Barrage, who landed on the ring on top of the volcano.

"Say, young scout. Why don't we make amends for our past? Why don't you join back up with me? We can have a great time tearing this world apart as our own! What do you say?" Barrage offered as he raised a hand.

Viper growled darkly, "Never with the like of you!"

"Viper, Viper, Viper… you are so naive… AND TO THINK WE COULD RULE TOGETHER WITH MALEFOR!" Barrage voice turned demonic as he fire a small beam from his pointer and middle finger together. The beam went straight at Viper. Viper stared at the beam heading straight for his chest. He closed his eyes and braced himself.

"NO!" A voice caught his attention as something went in front of him. He opened his eyes just in time to see his brother rush in front of him, and take the shot. He gasped as the shot went straight through his chest. Viper felt the force of the beam, but it didn't hit him; seeing his brother like this… this hurts more than taking the shot. Vortex returned with everyone below, only to stare in shock as to what had happened. Hiccup and Astrid grunted as they looked up to see Damian being shot in the chest.

Music ends...

"BROTHER!" Viper rushed up and knelt to his collapsed brother. There was a gaping hole in his chest. Damian coughed up some blood as he tried to breathe.

"...bro…" he whispered as he caught a glance of Viper.

"Aw, cmon! Can people not die when I'm not around? Seriously, it gets super annoying, and it makes me look bad!" Vortex became incredibly annoyed at first, but his saddened gaze returned immediately.

"Stay with me bro!" Viper put his paws on Damian's wound, but that did little.

"...it's...okay...brother…" Damian whispered, slightly smiling. The pain in his chest was unbearable.

"NO IT'S NOT!" Viper shouted angrily at him, which he chuckled to.

"...bro…listen…I… need to...tell you something..." Damian coughed.

"NO, DO NOT TALK LIKE THAT!" Viper wanted ignore what he was about to say. Tears flowing down his face.

"...defeat…Barrage…save…your friends…be…the hero…redeem yourself…for our…sake…..and… the world's…" Damian closed his eyes and turned his head slowly. The coldness within ceased, as well as his breathing.

"no no no no NO NO NO NO NO NO!" Viper shook his brother's body, trying to wake him up. No avail… He cried into his chest, sobbing tears down the bloody chest. All around had tears in their eyes as a hero fell. Barrage on the other hand, contemplated something while smiling evilly. 'Viper had a brother? I guess that adds more to the joy of it, I suppose'.

Suddenly, Damian's body slowly turned into a pile of ash. The blood falling to the ground in a puddle. Viper watched his brother's body disintegrate into a pile of ash before him. A negative feeling began to emerge within him. He floated up to the top of the ring; the magma behind him fueling his burning hate.

Music: Bone to Pick (by Drop Off) plays.

"YOU…", Viper's voice got dark and caught Barrage's attention. All of a sudden, his body enveloped in a inferno, yet he wasn't burning. His eyes yellow, and full of hatred towards Barrage. He screamed and omg inferno rose up, increasing his power. He thrusted his paws out. Instantly, the fire he generated accelerated towards Barrage. Barrage covered his face as the flames engulfed him.

"I'LL KILL YOU, AND YOU CAN BURN IN HELL!" Viper yelled in pure rage as he kept the attack up. He let all his energy, anger, and focus into that attack. He screamed as it increased.

"When the hell did this turn into Dragon Ball Z?" Vortex asked himself as the attack continued. After a minute of pure rage, Viper fell onto his knees on the ring top. The flames around him ceased, and he wheezed for breath. He looked at the smoke cloud ahead. It covered everything where Barrage once stood. When it dissipated, there was no sign of Barrage.

Music ends...

"Did he do it?" Vortex looked around and saw nothing. Hopes rose as no sign of the murderer was seen. All of a sudden, a dark laughter filled the skies around, then:

"You are all so naive, because this whole time-", Barrage appeared behind Viper, a sword of darkness in his hand.

"Viper, beh-!" Vortex tried to call out, but it was far too late. Barrage thrusted his sword into Viper's heart. Viper gasped is the sword went straight through the other side of his body. Viper was then pushed into the magma below. He was falling down, but surprisingly, had a warm smile as he fell.

'Did I do it, bro? Did I do a good job at trying?' Viper spoke in his mind to himself.

'Yes, brother. You did well! Cmon! Mother and Father are waiting!' Damian's voice echoed in his head.

'Alright bro!' "I'm… coming home…" he muttered as body slowly turned into ash and plummeted into the magma, never to be seen heard of again.

"NOOOOO!" Vortex cried out as his friend fell into the pit below. Tears fell from his muzzle as he could feel Viper die. A feeling of justice, vengeance… hate... made itself known. He had to fight to avenge all who have perished, and to right the wrong that was committed. He slowly stood up from right next to his friends.

"So… are you gonna fight me or?" Barrage looked down at Vortex.

He smirked, tears stopping as he wiped them away, "Yeah! I will! But first let me tell you something."

"And that is?" Barrage raised a scaly eyebrow

Vortex floated upon the volcano's ring, landing in front of Barrage, "Within my life, I had served many roles, surprisingly a lot of it in law. I once served as a Judge, once part of the Jury. But now?-", Vortex's eyes glowed blue as a blue spear formed in his hand. He smirked as Barrage raised an eyebrow.

Music: Androphonovania (Windhive cover) plays...

"NOW, I SERVE AS THE EXECUTIONER!" Vortex yelled as he threw the spear and charged at Barrage. Barrage barely managed to dodge the thrown spear as it zoomed past his face. He was then met with a hard punch in the face. Barrage returned with multiple blows to the chest. They continued to fight in the air while the rest of the Riders watched in amazement.

"Their so fast and powerful!" Astrid gazed.

"Yeah, and I thought Vortex was kinda lazy," Hiccup said as he watched. All of a sudden, Fishlegs jolted upright, gasping for breath.

"Woah, hey! Fishlegs! Glad to see your okay!" Hiccup shouted as they approached him.

"W-What happened-?" He noticed the raging battle, "W-What's going on?!"

"To give you the rundown: Barrage is here, he killed Damian and Viper, now he's up against Vortex; who's doing surprisingly better than all of us, seeing as he is in heavy armor," Hiccup said in a nutshell.

"That's horrible!," Fishlegs cried.

"Yes, but now we have to see if Vortex will be able to defeat or at least weaken Barrage," Hiccup spoke as he looked up at the two fighter. The battle raged on for minutes as Vortex and Barrage were locked in a martial arts and sword match against each other. Both of them not giving any ground. Barrage had several bruises all over his body, while Vortex's armor was slightly shattered. In a instant, Barrage went behind Vortex and kicked him into the mountain side. Vortex grunted as he hit the ground. His armor shattered, but that gave him more of a speed advantage. He floated back up to Barrage's level and continued the fight, throwing and dodging every attack at him. This went on for several minutes, neither yielding until they landed on the ring. They both could feel the heat pulsating on their faces and bodies.

"Heh, your strong!" Vortex smiled as he breathed.

"You, too," Barrage took in a few breaths.

"What do you say about ending this with one final attack. ALL OUT!" Vortex smirked as he made a fist and raised it up.

Barrage did, too, "you're on!" They both flew high into the air and prepared their massive attacks.

"What are they doing?" Astrid asked as they watched them. Then, the skies and ground began to rumble as they charged up their attacks.

"Ultimate Shadowstrike!" Barrage fired an immense amount of energy at Vortex.

Vortex threw his palm out, and yelled, "Dragon's Bane!" Instantly, a beam of light fired from his palm and collided with the dark. They ground shook beneath them as the skies roared. Lightning struck all around as the thunders roared.

"THEY ARE GONNA DESTROY US!" Fishlegs screamed. Toothless ran up to Hiccup and shielded him from anything that might be of harm.

"THIS IS YOUR END, KID!" Barrage yelled as he pressured on the attack.

"It's not o-over until one of us surpasses the other!" Vortex returned, struggling against the beam of darkness. Sweat made itself known on his face.

"Your right! CHAOS CHAIN!" Barrage's attack increased against Vortex. He, unfortunately, couldn't take the beam and it collided into him. Vortex cried in pain as it engulfed him, ripping apart his flesh.

"No!" Hiccup watched as Vortex fell onto another ledge. Barrage flew down to him and grabbed him by the neck.

Music ends...

"I'm impressed, kid; really, I am. Your power is anything beyond what I have seen here in this realm. You did well, and for that you will not die… yet. I want you to see what I have in store for you!" Barrage laughed as he dropped Vortex and approached the top. Toothless fired a plasma blast at Barrage. He quickly smacked it back at Toothless. It hit him with full force and stunned the dragon.

"TOOTHLESS!" Hiccup cried as he rushed to his dragon.

Vortex could barely look up at the top. That attack drained his strength completely, and now…

Music: Ultra Instinct Theme (Geek Music Version) plays...

"THERE IS NO STOPPING THE DARKNESS!" Barrage laughed maniacally as he dropped the crystal into the pool of magma below. As soon as the crystal plummeted underneath, it shattered. A large dark beam shot up from the chamber into the sky. The area was then covered in a darkness as a laugh echoed throughout the land. All were able to hear it, and all trembled at the sound of it.

All the heroes remaining watched as a dragon shrouded in darkness slowly emerged from the chamber below. The dragon slowly ascended to the skies above. When he spread his wings, it lifted to reveal a terrifying dragon. It's scales were similar of that to Spyro's, just much more dark and scarred. He had a vicious snout, long set of wings, a vicious tail, and claws ready at the go. He laughed as he touched down on the ground.

"IT WORKED! HAHAHA! I'M OUT! I AM FREE FROM THAT DAMN PRISON!" He laughed as darkness enveloped the lands. Barrage knelt as Malefor looked down upon him.

"It is done," Barrage spoke.

"Yes, and you have done me well. You will now and forever be known as Barrage, the Nightmare Bringer!" Malefor spoke as he stretched.

"Thank you, master, but what about them?" Barrage life's his head and pointed at the heroes.

Malefor glanced at them. "Leave them, they are weak, broken. They could not fight us even at their best!"

"Of course," Barrage replied.

Malefor looked away, "Come now, my servant! It is time to wreak havoc across the lands!" Barrage nodded and looked away, ready to take off. They began to fly away from the Edge.

Music ends...

Vortex slowly, and painfully, stood up. He glanced over to the injured Spyro and Cynder, as well as the rest of the team.

'I'm sorry, Ignitus… I...I've failed you,' Vortex shed a tear.

'Calm yourself! Others may be lost, but accepting defeat like this will assure the death of other!' The Chronicler spoke in his head.

'How can I?! I've failed your request, and now Malefor has broken loose from his prison! We've lost…', Vortex hung his head.

'VORTEX! USE YOUR STRENGTH! How would others want to see you?!' Vortex looked back at his friends.

'Strong…'.

'Yes, now enact on that feeling and push through! Embrace the light!' And with that, the Chronicler's voice disappeared. Vortex chuckled.

'Your right… I need to be strong, for the others! For the world! I must protect my friends! I have to- NO! I must…' . Vortex's eyes began to glow a bright white as a feeling of hope burned within him.

"...embrace the light."
