Zane! Back in Action!
Freyr had previously left Zane to look for help from the other Mages. Yet he had found no one and had decided to return back to Zane, shouting his name hoping he'll respond giving signs that he is finally okay.
"Zane!" Freyr shouted, "Zane! Hey where are you buddy?! Come on! The rest of the team is looking for you!"
"Zane!" Freyr continued to cry out, "Man...where could he be?" then finally Freyr saw Zane on the ground.
"Zane!" Freyr shouted as he quickly dashed down towards his partner's side, "Zane wake up! Come on wake up!" Freyr began to shake Zane violently.
"Please don't be unconcious! Please be alive still!" Freyr cried. Then slowly Freyr began to hear something. He placed his head up against Zane's chest.
"Zzzzz...zzzzzz...zzzzz..."
"Okay good...he's just sleeping." Freyr sighed, "Wait...HE'S SLEEPING?!" Freyr shouted enraged.
"Man Freyr can you keep it down please." Zane groaned as he rolled away from the Exceed.
"Zane get up! The rest of the guild is looking for you."
"I'm sure they're doing fine without me. I mean they are strong people right?" Zane yawned.
"Zane shut up and get up!" Freyr barked.
"Uhhh...do I have to do?"
"Yes!" Freyr sighed.
"Fine..." Zane sat up and sniffed the air rather quickly, "That's weird..."
"What?"
"I can't really smell...anyone's magical scent. I mean...can, they're just real faint."
"That can't be good." Freyr observed.
"Of course it's not good, guess that means I really have to get up." Zane stood up and cracked his neck.
"So what are we going to do?" Freyr asked.
"Easy, we go ahead and find everyone so we can go save Lydia."
Meanwhile...
"Sera stop right there!" A voice boomed.
"Hmm? Master!" Sera quickly whipped around to see her Master in front of her.
"Yes, what do you think you're doing?"
"I'm about to begin dissection Master, did you not give me the opprotunity to do so?"
"I did...but not anymore." Sera's Master walked towards her and stuck one hand out in front of her.
"M-Master?"
"Don't worry Sera, this is for the better good." Suddenly Sera fell unconcious. Slowly her magical essence, along with Ishmael's, begao to be lifted from their bodies and floated right in to the Master's body.
"Perfect...next..."
"Peggy!" Zane shouted.
"Zane?!" Peggy whipped around to see Zane and Freyr dashing towards her, "You're okay?"
"Yeah, I'm fine." He stopped right in front of her, "Sorry to keep you guys waiting. Hey...where is everyone?"
"They all went ahead onto one of those roads." Peggy pointed towards the five roads in front of them.
"There's only five of them. Shouldn't there be a sixth one?"
"Well there was only five here at the time so I guess the guy only showed them the five roads."
"Well that's fine, I'll go to each road and bring everybody back!" Zane quickly jumped towards one of the roads, but was blocked by a magical barrier.
"Ouch!" He shouted hitting the ground hard, "That kind of hurt."
"They must've put some magical barrier to make sure that nobody follows them huh?" Freyr analyzed.
"Yeah, that's the way it seems." Peggy agreed.
"Great, so then how am I going to get to them? Wait I got it! I'll blast them all down!" Zane stuck his hand out and began to blast the magical wall in front of him.
"Uhh...Zane.."
"Don't even try it Peggy. Trust me...just let him figure it out." Freyr sighed, "Beer?" Freyr asked.
"Uhhh...no thanks..."
"No do you have any?"
"Uhhh...no?" She sweatdropped.
"Crap...okay."
"Oh yeah...this is the fight where they tied. How fun to watch. That fight truly impressed me." The Master grimaced looking down at Sherry and Nate's fallen bodies.
"Well...mainly Sherry impressed me. Either way they both have done more than enough for me..." the Master stuck his hand out as their magical essence began to be drained as well.
"Alright...that should do." He then teleported.
"Huh..." Selena stood up and looked down at the fallen bodies of Kali and Laura, "Neither of you were ready for me."
"Agreed..."
"Master?!" Selena turned around to the booming voice to see her Master with his hand out in front of her.
"Master! Is it time? Is that why you're here?" Selena quickly took a knee.
"Thank you Selena...you defeated two Demigod Mages. I will find a way to properly thank you when I recieve the chance."
"As long as you achieve your goals Master, that'll be all the thanks I need."
"Thank you Selena." Slowly she began to feel woozy as her magical essence left her body, along with Laura's and Kali's.
"Yes..." the Master smiled as Selena fell to the ground, "This is going well." Once again he teleported.
"Hehe...I'm not going to tell you anything!" Reese spit in Jin's face.
"Oh yeah? That's how you wanna play huh?" Jin lifted Reese high in the air, "You must have a death wish kid. Don't ya?"
"What are you talking about? You've got nothing on me! Even if you kill me my Master will slay you with ease!"
"I'd like to see him try!" Jin held one hand out as a sword began to manifest.
"No problem." A voice boomed.
"Huh?"
"Master!" Reese shouted. The Master placed his hand on Jin's shoulder and slowly his magic began to leave his body. The same as Reese.
"Hehe...well this is me trying." The Master mocked Jin's last statement.
"Done." He dropped them both, then teleported once more.
"And finally..." The Master stuck both hands out over Reggie and Kainen. As he repeated the process he teleported back to his throne.
"Hehe...now...time to fill'er up." In front of his throne was a large see through orb. He placed both hands on the orb as magical energy began to flow right in to it. The orb slowly began to glow golden.
"Hehe...this mixed with your Celestial Magic should be more than enough to make sure I can get what I want." As the Master continued to do this, he realized something on his moitor orb. It was Zane. He was blasting all of the barriers that prevented him from passing.
"Hmm...he's finally awake huh? He's the last one." The Master smiled, "Time to let him through."
"Huh...huh...huh..." Zane stopped, "DAMN IT! COME ON AND LET ME THROUGH ALREADY!" Zane shouted causing Peggy to panic.
"Please Zane don't shout! We don't know what this guy is capable of."
"I don't care." Zane replied as he looked straight at her. Afterwards Zane turned around and saw all five roads begin to merge. As the five roads became one they slowly began to raise at up and turned in to a set of stairs. In front of Zane, Freyr, and Peggy was now a large stair case that led straight to the stars. Then from the stars they turned into a large mansion.
"W-what the heck?" Peggy looked at the stairs awkwardly.
"Hmph, I'm guessing these stairs led to the guy who has Lydia." Freyr sighed.
"Which means I have to go and get'er." Zane smiled some what wickedly.
"Z-Zane?" Peggy whispered.
"Peggy stay here...I'll be back." Zane then took off and began walking up the stairs.
"Don't worry Lydia...here I come."
Next Time: Zane walks up the stairs in search of Lydia's captur. Upon his arrival he see's her and the guy apparently called to by his underlings as Master, who is also the same guy who had started these "games" when he arrived with the rest of the Demigod Guild. Now, it's Zane's turn to fight. The question is why did he kidnap Lydia? That's something Zane is going to have to find out.
