Chapter 20: Neopia
Ky, Elena, Max, Tails, Blaze, Shadow, Storm, Kiyo and Zatch, Lucky, T.J., Sly, Bentley, and Murray return to Tower of Remembrance and are now in a different silver room and then Ky finds Vitium walking through the room and so Ky runs over to Vitium who slightly looks back.
"Do you ever piss off? I told you, I don't wanna see your damn face!" Vitium said.
"Vitium, you're probably brainwashed by those people in this tower. They're not 'taking care' of you! They're filling your head with lies!" Ky said.
"Lies? The only lie I see is the fact that you're my brother! There is no way in hell that I can be related to such a weakling! You just go home to your losers! I don't need you!" Vitium said.
"What did they do to make you mate me so?" Ky asked to himself. "I'm not going back! Not until I encounter my fate AND save you from the darkness corrupting your mind!" Ky said.
(Theme: Face It)
"You stupid little piece of crap! Guess I need to tell you piss the hard way!" Vitium said as he unleashes his sword. "You won't be just pissing off from my life, brother! You'll be goin' to the afterlife! Here's your one-way trip!" Vitium said.
(Enter Battle!)
(Boss Theme: The Force in You)
Vitium dash slashes at Ky and then delivers vertical slashes with his sword but Ky counters and then uses Crystal Edge to strike and then casts Aero but Vitium retaliates and unleashes black tornadoes and sends them at Ky who tries to dodge but the black tornadoes catch him and he is sent into the air and is dealt with huge damage and Ky is stunned allowing Vitium to delivers two horizontal slashes with his sword and then delivers his blade stand kick and sends Ky back but Ky recovers himself and then uses Regeneration to heal himself overtime but Vitium delivers a circle raid and his sword goes all over the room and Ky attempts to dodge the circling sword and Ky summons Storm who uses Quick Attack and then uses Volt Tackle and then disappears and then summons Lucky who uses Ground Pound and then disappears but Vitium jumps into the air and delivers a dive slash with his sword and unleashes dark pillars but Ky dodges the dark pillars and then delivers two roundhouse slashes with Dawn of Hope and then casts Earth to strike.
"Enough of this!" Vitium yelled as he dives into the ground and goes for Ky.
Vitium goes under Ky and delivers an upper slash with his sword and delivers aerial slashes with his sword and sends Ky to the ground but Ky recovers himself and then delivers triple slashes with Dawn of Hope and then delivers a spin slash but Vitium counters and delivers one slash with his sword and then delivers a dark slash streak at Ky who dodge rolls and then delivers two vertical slashes with Dawn of Hope and then delivers a slide kick and delivers a lower horizontal slash with his Keyblade and trips Vitium who recovers himself and then fires dark lightning shots from his sword at Ky who dodges but they home in on Ky who tries to keep dodging but Vitium's dark lightning shots get Ky but Ky summons Elena who casts Cure on Ky and then casts Thunder on Vitium and then disappears and then Ky summons Shadow who uses Home Attack and then uses Multi Punch and then disappears but Vitium dash slashes with his sword and then delivers vertical slashes with his sword and then delivers an upper kick to send Ky into the air and then unleashes a dark fireball and sends Ky down but Ky recovers and then uses Thunder Surge and then uses Blizzard Raid.
Vitium retaliates with multi slashing with his sword and then unleashes a dark stream on the ground and gets Ky who recovers and then uses Water Raid and then Meteor Storm but Vitium jumps into the air and then slam slashes with his sword to try and get Ky who dodges out of the way and then delivers four horizontal slashes with Dawn of Hope and then delivers a diagonal slash but Vitium counters and then delivers three up and down slashes with his sword and then delivers a thrusting stab with his sword but Ky counters and then delivers a vertical slash with Dawn of Hope and then delivers a thrust stab and then delivers a wide horizontal slash with his Keyblade but Vitium delivers a multiple somersault slash with his sword and then brings down a downward kick but Ky recovers himself and then uses Stealth Blade but Vitium retaliates with another circle raid at Ky who dodges the thrown sword and tries to go for Vitium but the circle raided sword strikes at Ky who recovers and then summons Sly who uses Cane Spin and then disappears and then summons Max who uses Cyclone and then disappears and then summons Kiyo and Zatch and Kiyo has Zatch use Zakeruga and they disappear but Vitium delivers a blade stand forward kick and pushes Ky back but Ky recovers and then delivers triple slashes with Dawn of Hope and then delivers a wide slash to strike Vitium.
"You've gotta be kidding…!" Vitium said.
After the battle Vitium is struggling to stand and he kneels to the ground and Ky runs to him.
"Vitium. Are you okay?" Ky asked.
"Get away from me! You think you've won this fight, but you got lucky is all!" Vitium yelled.
"I don't wanna fight. I just want us to be friends." Ky said.
"Never! I'll be friends with a weakling bastard!" Vitium yelled as he gets up and runs from the room.
"Vitium! Come back!" Ky called but Vitium is now gone.
"Just what is his deal with Ky? What did Ky ever do to him besides not knowing they were brothers?" Elena asked to herself.
"Guys! We gotta go after him! I can't give up on him yet!" Ky said as he runs after where Vitium is going.
Ky makes his way through the room and goes for the next floor.
Meanwhile in the next room Quince and the Count are talking to Noel Replica.
"It seems you have done well in pushing Noel thus far, but she has yet to awaken the darkness within her." The Count said.
"I have been doing my best, Count. She won't budge, no matter what I try to do." Noel Replica said.
"Perhaps a new tactic is called for." The Count said.
"What do you have in mind, Count?" Quince asked.
"To have what I desire from the Prince of Light and the Child of Light and Darkness, it seems I will have to take drastic measures. You, my creation and Vitium will have to perform something rather…intense for those two." The Count said.
"Whatever you have planned, I will gladly accept. I will find and bring Vitium to us." Noel Replica said as she disappears.
"The time has come for Ami to use her powers to a full extent. I did not want this to happen, but I am left with little choice." The Count said.
Meanwhile Ky arrives at the next floor but just then he's feeling something in his head.
"Ky! Calm down! I've seen what's happened through your heart and mind. I know it's important to save your brother, but you should try to think about how." Pax said.
"I know, but I can't sit idly by and let those cold-hearted punks have control over my brother! I'm getting him back!" Ky said.
"I know you'll make things right. You always have. Just try to be careful. There's no telling what this tower will have in store for you." Pax said.
"I will, Pax. Don't worry." Ky said.
Ky makes his way for the next door and as he reaches it he looks at the remaining four cards and decides which card to use next and then he decides to use the Neopia card and unlocks the door and Ky goes through the opened door.
The group are now in a crossroad area and Ky is in his tan Lupe form while Elena is in her blue Aisha while Kiyo is in his black and brown Gelert form while Zatch is in his yellow Kacheek form while T.J. is in his brown Kacheek form and the group explore around the crossroad and then they later arrive a tiny beach area.
"Pika!" Storm said pointing at something.
"Yoshi!" Lucky said.
"What is it?" Ky asked and we sees two people fighting the Werewolf Black Xetis surrounding the two and those two are Tormund and Roberta.
"Those two are in trouble!" Tails said.
"Then let's go help them!" Shadow said.
"Right!" Ky said as he runs to the scene and joins Tor and Roberta. "We got your back!" Ky said taking out Dawn of Hope.
"Thanks." Tor said.
"I thought we were finished." Roberta said.
(Enter Battle!)
The Werewolf Black Xetis attack with their claws and then attack with their fangs but Ky counters and casts Sleep and sends the Black Xetis into a slumber allowing Ky to deliver two vertical slashes with Dawn of Hope and then delivers a cleaving slash with his Keyblade but the Werewolf Black Xetis wake up and unleash howls but Ky summons T.J. who uses Knife Throw and then disappears and then summons Blaze who uses Fire Tornado and then disappears but the Werewolf Black Xetis enter a frenzy mode and attack Ky with claws and fangs while in berserk mode but Ky dodges and he finds a card with Tor on it.
"TOR!" Ky called and Tor appears.
"For Meridell!" Tor said as he slashes with his sword and then disappears.
The Werewolf Black Xetis deliver tail strikes at Ky who dodges out of the way and then casts Fire but the Werewolf unleash powerful howls but Ky dodges and then he finds another card and it has Roberta on it.
"ROBERTA!" Ky called and Roberta appears.
"It's over!" Roberta said as she shoots magic shots from her staff and then disappears.
The Werewolf Black Xetis attempt to pounce at Ky who dodge rolls and then triple slashes with Dawn of Hope and then delivers a slide kick and delivers a lower horizontal slash with his Keyblade and then uses Water Raid and defeats the Werewolf Black Xetis.
After the fight the group are talking to Tor and Roberta.
"Thank you for helping us with that fight. You are all quite skilled." Roberta said.
"Thanks. You're good with your magic." Elena said.
"You're also good with your sword." Ky said.
"But this isn't over. More might come. For you see, the lands are under a terrible darkness." Roberta said.
"The purple clouds that are hanging from the sky…" Sly said.
"Right. Do you two have an idea of what to do? How to stop the dark clouds?" Bentley asked.
"My uncle, who is the King of Brightvale might know something. We should go over to King Hagen and speak to him." Roberta said.
"That sounds like a good idea. We'll go with you too." Ky said and the others nod.
"Thank you." Roberta said.
"Roberta, you're from Brightvale, right? You should be able to lead the way to Brightvale." Tor said.
"Gladly." Roberta said.
Ky makes his way through the crossroads while fighting off the Black Xetis and Heartless in his way and he continues to go through the crossroads until later on he finds a door that leads to a village and the group arrive at Brightvale Village and they arrive at the castle.
"My uncle is in the Brightvale Castle. We can have an audience with him in there." Roberta said.
"Okay then. C'mon." T.J. said.
The group go into the castle and arrive at the throne room and they find King Hagen sitting on his throne.
"Roberta? What are you doing with the carriage? What has happened to Faerie Land?" King Hagen asked.
"A twisted Faerie, the darkest one ever saw has taken over Faerie Land, along with Meridell." Roberta answered.
"Impossible! Queen Fyora was always our only hope! All is lost! The dark clouds will arrive to this town soon." King Hagen said.
"But there is hope, Uncle! Tormund of Meridell's and my amulets! They protect us from the clouds' evil power! My new friends are also immune to the clouds' dark power as well. Since the Darkest Faerie is the true source of the dark magic, our only option is to stop her." Roberta said.
"But this is rather dangerous for a diplomat." King Hagen said.
"With all due respect, Your Majesty, your niece is really good with using magic." Elena said.
"Don't worry, we'll protect her while defeating the dark clouds." Max said.
"Very well. I shall charge you all as Champions of Brightvale! Go to Meridell, since I have witnessed it under the evil clouds' power before Faerie Land was taken over. Find the source of this evil, and destroy it!" King Hagen said.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Tor said.
"Consider it done!" Ky said and the others nod.
Ky leaves Brightvale Castle and then leaves Brightvale Village and the group return to the crossroads.
"I guess now we know what to do." Zatch said.
"Yep. Go to Meridell, find our way to Faerie Land, and stop the dark clouds. This won't be easy, but this is better than doing nothing." Ky said.
"Tor, you're from Meridell, right?" Roberta asked.
"Yes. I can lead the way, and we should arrive to Meridell soon." Tor said.
"In that case, let's MOVE!" Murray said.
"Agreed. I just hope we're not too late." Kiyo said.
Ky makes his way through the crossroads while fighting off Black Xetis and Heartless in his way and he keeps going through the crossroads to get to Meridell and later on Ky crosses the bridge and it leads him to the plains area and he keeps going and later on the group near their way to Meridell Village but just then a dark smoke appears in front of the group and it's the Gelert Assassin.
"Going somewhere?" The Gelert Assassin asked.
"Outta our way!" Shadow demanded as the group prepare to fight.
"You think you can waltz into the castle and save this village? How pathetic. I'm afraid my new client cannot have that." The Gelert Assassin asked.
"Client? You're talking about that evil Faerie, are you?!" Tails asked.
"Perhaps. It ridiculous that she sent me to kill children, but I could make your death…painless." Gelert Assassin said taking out his sword.
(Theme: Face It)
"You're NOT killing anybody here! There's no way you take us all on!" Ky said taking Dawn of Hope.
"Oh, good! We got ourselves a gutsy one here! I think I'll kill you first. I can have your head as my new trophy." Gelert Assassin said.
"Try me!" Ky said.
(Enter Battle!)
(Battle Theme: Gelert Assassin's Theme)
Gelert Assassin slashes at Ky with his sword but Ky dodge rolls and then delivers triple slashes with Dawn of Hope and then delivers a diagonal slash with his Keyblade but Gelert Assassin backs away and then throws knives at Ky who dodges the throwing knives and uses Leaf Raid but Gelert Assassin disappears and then reappears and delivers a triple sword slash but Ky counters and then delivers roundhouse slashes with Dawn of Hope and then summons Elena who shoots magic concussive blasts and then casts Blizzard and then disappears and then summons Bentley who shoots electric darts and then disappears but Gelert Assassin throws knives again and then delivers a wide slash with his sword but Ky retaliates and delivers four horizontal slashes with Dawn of Hope and then summons Roberta who shoots magic shots and then disappears but Gelert Assassin disappears and then reappears and then unleashes a dark shock wave but Ky jumps over and delivers an aerial slash with Dawn of Hope and then delivers an aerial spin slash with his Keyblade.
Gelert Assassin unleashes clones of himself and they start slashing at Ky who dodges and then summons Murray who uses Flame Punch and gets the clones and then disappears but Gelert Assassin throws knives at Ky who dodge rolls and then uses Thunder Surge to strike and then uses Crystal Edge to strike but Gelert Assassin unleashes another dark shock wave but Ky jumps over and then casts Thunder but Gelert Assassin disappears and reappears and then delivers another slash with his sword but Ky counters and triple slashes with Dawn of Hope and then uses Triple Fire but Gelert Assassin attempts to summon more clones of himself but Ky summons Tor who delivers aspin slash with his sword and then disappears but Gelert Assassin dashes all over the area while slashing at Ky who dodges every slash and then uses Meteor Storm but Gelert Assassin disappears and then reappears and then unleashes another dark shock wave but Ky summons Storm who uses Skullbash and disappears but Gelert Assassin triple slashes with his sword but Ky counters and then delivers vertical slashes with Dawn of Hope and then delivers a somersault slash with his Keyblade and finishes off Gelert Assassin.
Gelert Assassin kneels to the ground.
"Is that all you got? I'd expect a lot from an assassin." Ky said.
"Hmph. I was merely used to keep you busy while the Darkest Faerie would steal Fyora's Rod from that fool King of Meridell." Gelert Assassin said.
"What?!" Tor asked shocked.
"You mean she's in the castle right now?!" Bentley asked.
"Yes. She has probably stolen the rod by now. Either way, you're too late." Gelert Assassin said as he disappears.
"Not good! That rod is powerful! If the Darkest Faerie uses it…" Tails stops talking.
"To the castle! Hurry!" Tor said.
"Yeah! Let's get going before things get REALLY terrible!" Ky said.
Ky makes his way through Meridell Village while fighting off Black Xetis and Heartless and later on the group arrive at Meridell Castle.
"King Skarl is either in the throne room or his chamber. We'll check the chamber first!" Tor said.
"Right! Let's go there!" Ky said.
Ky makes his way through Meridell Castle while fighting off Black Xetis and Heartless in his way and he keeps going through the castle and later on the group arrive at King Skarl's chamber and they find the Darkest Faerie who is now holding the rod of Fyora.
"Fyora's Rod!" Roberta said.
"My, my. I see you have made it this far, but unfortunately, you're already too late. I now have the very thing I need to destroy both this kingdom AND Faerie Land!" The Darkest Faerie said.
"Forget it! As long as we're around, there's NO way you're destroying anything!" Ky said.
"You're finished, so just give up!" Sly said.
"Hahahahaha! Such fools. Do you REALLY think you can defeat ME?! I am the most powerful Faerie to ever exist! If you truly believe to be heroes, then come find me in Faerie Land, and you might share a grave with that fool Queen Fyora!" The Darkest Faerie said as she disappears in darkness.
"Stop her!" Roberta said.
"Hurry!" Shadow said.
The group go after the Darkest Faerie's dark smoke before it disappears completely.
The dark smoke then sends the group to Fyora's garden in Faerie Land.
"We're in Faerie Land, but the Darkest Faerie is probably in the palace!" Roberta said.
"In that case, that's where we'll go!" Ky said.
"Let's storm in, take on the Darkest Faerie, and take back that rod!" Elena said
"Sounds good to me!" Zatch said.
"I'm into beatin' bad guys up! But, where would she be in the castle?" Murray asked.
"We'll have to search the castle until we find her." Blaze said.
"Then let's start searching." Ky said.
Ky makes his way through the gardens while fighting off Black Xetis and Heartless in his way and then he arrives at the inside of the castle and goes through the palace while fighting off Black Xetis and Heartless in his way and later on the group arrive at Fyora's chamber and they confront the Darkest Faerie.
"So, you decided to follow me all the way here? How very brave, but rather foolish of you." The Darkest Faerie said.
"You've got nowhere to run!" Max said.
"Give up, and hand over that rod!" T.J. demanded.
"This foolishness must end at once! I suppose I could flatten you along with the two wretched kingdoms!" The Darkest Faerie said.
"Don't you dare!" Ky yelled as he delivers a swipe with his Keyblade but the Darkest Faerie dodges.
(Theme: Face It)
"To defeat the dark power combined with the rod of Fyora is just nonsense! Allow me to show you the futility of fighting me!" The Darkest Faerie said.
"What's she gonna do?" Tor asked.
"Perish now!" The Darkest Faerie said as she casts a dark spell.
(Enter Battle!)
(Boss Theme: Fight For My Friends)
Ky searches for the Darkest Faerie and then the Darkest Faerie appears behind Ky and the two are now standing face-to-face against each other.

After the battle a card appears before Ky and it transforms into an ability.
(Obtained: Mystic Surge)
After the battle the group take back the rod and just then something appears and it's Fyora.
"Queen Fyora! You're free! But, how?" Roberta asked.
"The dark one has imprisoned me since she has taken my kingdom. Now that she is defeated, I'll be able to restore the lands back to their original states." Fyora said.
"That sounds like a good thing." Elena said.
"Yes. Thank you, young heroes for what you have done." Fyora said as she takes the rod.
"It was our pleasure, Your Highness." Ky said.
"Now that Queen Fyora will free the kingdom, I should return to Brightvale. My uncle will be pleased to hear that the dark clouds have disappeared." Roberta said.
"I'll go back to Meridell. I'm sure King Skarl will hear about what happened." Tor said.
"That sounds good for you two." Max said.
"Yeah. We have our paths to follow." Ky said.
"Thank you for your help, Ky. Good luck to you." Roberta said.
"Thanks. You too." Ky said.
Ky makes his way through Fyora's palace and he later finds the same door and makes his way for the door until he reaches the door and as he reaches for the door Ky goes through the door and then leaves Neopia.
To be continued...
