Tales of the Cosmic Wars

And here we have the first chapter of 2009! How did I get this chapter up so fast? I am not even sure lol. Well, enjoy!

Chapter 95: Cataclysmal Deja-Vu! Slashing through the Curtain of Menace!

Last time in Tales of the Cosmic Wars Ben had emerged from his sped up year of training, and has his friends saw, just from the tip of the iceberg it clearly had a impressive result to his friends delight, Ezan 's annoyance, and Brad's outrage! With Ben at last done with all that was required of him he enjoyed a brief two week break from stress. However, a hero's work never pauses for long. Soon enough he and the rest of the reformed squad 7 were asked to go to a world on the verge of the territory of the Lylat Kingdom.

This distant world of Terca Lumiries is a world untouched by the various groups that bring devastation like Zeon and the Zannacross Empire. However, even so, the world has been filled with inner conflict and the Enji Knights have been asked to help fix things up and bring good will so the people of the world will not fear officially joining the Lylat Kingdom.

With that Squad 7, Cecil and Luke's team all go to the distant world. When they get there, "in record time thanks to Cid" they are greeted by the imperial knights Commandant, Alexi and Flynn.

There they are informed the state of the world, and that the primary mission of the Enji is to avert war with the Guild Union by finding the princess of the empire whose short name is Estelle. It seems she was kidnapped by a rough knight who seeks his own justice named Yuri Lowell. Ben is lucky enough to run in to both Link and Kirby thanks to both Princess Zelda and King Dedede visiting this world in order to go over trade deals and convince them to join the Lylat Kingdom. With his two friends in tow they went to the Egothor forest, and after a little bit they found they were on the right path, till they got caught in to a trap thanks to Kirby's endless hunger!

As they were hanging in the air Yuri at last showed himself, and showed how powerful his fighting skills were when he killed nearly the entire group of supposedly elite knights helping Ben and pals within moments! Ben was outraged at the vigilante's behavior and ideals of justice and showed up his new power by warping right out of the steel net and in an instant blocking Yuri's attacks! Yuri was not found of the Enji and the Lylat Kingdom and saw Ben as another aggressor. However Ben forced Yuri to recognize his power when he blocked his slashes with a single finger!

While the difference in power was quite clear Yuri refused to admit it, and Ben was seeing that Yuri and his own guild, Brave Vesperia's policy was never give up no matter what! When Cloud Link Kirby and the others broke out of the net it seemed like Ben and co would have no choice but to go all out to rescue Estelle. However, before things got messy, the pink haired princess appeared before the groups and pleaded the Enji not to harm them! It seems there was a miscommunication, because Estelle was not kidnapped by Yuri, she willing joined him on his quest to find out more about herself

! In a effort to try and figure out what is going on Yuri's comrade Judith told everyone they were going to her people's secret city in the clouds, Myorzo . The Enji agreed and hoped this would lead to them knowing on the truth. However, little did they know the truth was a lot more devious then they thought! It seemed not only was Commandant Alexi deceiving them, but he was conspiring with the dark wizard Agahnim! And if he had been revived, it can only mean that the archenemy of Link, Ganondorf is planning something!

Just what is the king of evil and his minions trying to do to this world? It's time to find out so ready? Go!

Today's episode begins nearly right were the last one left off with are heroes. After both Ben's group and Brave Vespria got on board the Neo High-wind it only took a few minutes till they were in the position that Judith needed to be in to call her fellow Kritya species. At the moment everyone is on the ship's balcony and Ben sees Judith take out a bell and says," That bell is the key to getting in? Is the password based on sound or something?"

The blue haired women smiles and responds with a playful," Beats me, that is just what the guy in Aspio told me. You will have to forgive me; I was never one that bothered with particulars. I guess I am more of a girl of action."

James looks at the sky looking for the city and says," Well, at least if this is a scam we have the home advantage."

Yuri has his hand hover around his sword and says,"Well, sounds like the die has already been cast."

Cloud looks at Yuri and retorts " Only if you give us a reason to roll it."

Ben smirks and says," Well, ill put it like this. If you give us trouble ill have Kirby eat you."

Yuri looks amused as he snaps back with, You think I will by that from a pink marshmallow? Huh?"

He then sees Squad 7 chuckle and James just smirks before he emits a devious,"Trust us, he can swallow things larger then you so don't try it."

Yuri turns to the pink wonder only to see him smile innocently and he says," Whatever."

Estelle then smiles and says," Oh I hope we can get along soon. There is no reason to be on edge! "

Ben smirks and says," Don't worry Princess Estelle if you trust these guys then I'll take your word."

As she smiles and Yuri looks annoyed Judith feels the wind and says,"Ah, this is the spot, would you have the ship stop here please? "

Cloud nods and presses a button to inform to Cid to stop the ship and shortly enough it does. With that Judith rings the bell, and it emits a pleasant ring. For a few seconds nothing happens. But just as Ben is getting suspicious all of a sudden they hear a kind of noise, and a large cloud appears before them! Soon a light shines from that cloud, and a giant city, floating above a giant jellyfish monster! Doug takes one look at the jellyfish monster and says,"What the? Why is this city having a giant Jellyfish on it? Is it trying to eat it?"

Judith laughs and says," Oh no that's not a monster, it's an Entelexia. "

James then says," You mentioned those creatures before, just what are they?"

Rita then says, what, so people from the Lylat Kingdom don't know everything? Oh whatever. If you must know Entelexia are like monsters but are extremely powerful and intelligent. They have been living on this world for thousands of years, but they are not well known to humans even though they can speak are language."

Ben looks at the Entelexia and then at Hiryuumon before saying,"That sounds a lot like what Digimon like my pal here are."

Estelle looks at the rookie level digimon and closes her eyes before saying,"Digimon, they are digital monsters that were created by the various magical energies of different worlds forming and taking right? I never saw one before, but I read about it from the reports from those that met with representatives of the Lylat Kingdom. Digimon can change form or Digivole to get stronger correct?"

Hiryuumon smiles and says," Yup! Wait till you see Geno-Wyrmmon! I still have not reached the mega level yet, but I bet with all the fights I been through I'll be there any day now!"

Cloud then throw's in a curious," Theses Entelexia sound sort of like the summon creatures that we call forth like the Espers, GF's, Eidolons, Aeons and the others. Are these the creatures the source of the conflict?"

Estelle and the others look worried and says,"That's the reason I joined Yuri and the others, I wanted to find out my true destiny. Like I said before they called me the poison of the world. You see, I have this power that allows me to heal others without using Blastia. I can heal others wounds without the slightest problem. However, I found out it has the opposite effect on the Entelexia .

When the Hunting Blades attacked the coliseum city Nordopolica they injured their leader, the fox Entelexia Belius. I tried to heal her, but it just made her go berserk, and we had to kill her. They say that I am the Child of the Fool moon, and my fate will bring ruin. I want to know the truth, no matter how difficult it may be to face it."

Yuri grins and says," Don't worry, we will get to the bottom of things no matter how long the path is."

Karol then jumps up in the air and says," Yah, that's Brave Vesperia's current job and we don't stop a job till its finished!"

Cloud then sees that the city gate is opening up and says,"

Well, let's see just how much more it will take to finish the job. "

Judith then says," All right everyone they are ready for us. "With that are heroes nod and prepare to enter the city. Soon enough they find them self's with the sight of many buildings and blue haired odd ear people. As they look around Yuri looks at the various Kritya looking at him and says,"

All right, so now that we are here now what?"

Kirby looks around frantically and says," Can we find the food court? I good go for some cloud burgers!"

Ben then says," Well, in these types of things the best thing to do is to find the leader or some other important person. After all, if you're looking for answers best try and get them from someone who knows the most right?"

The pink haired princess giggles and says,"Wow Ben, you are so wise!"

Ben tries to keep it cool and responds with a composed," Oh, it's just things I learned from life's experiences, and the virtual games before them heh."

Judith then says," Oh, I do believe that is the village elder. He must be on one of his walks again." Sure enough the Enji and pals see an older looking Kritya male wearing more distinguished robes walk up to them he then smiles when he see Judith, so you finally returned to us?"

Judith shrugs and says," Yes, but only momentarily, I returned because my friends want to learn a few things. Also, we got some inter planetary visitors wanting to learn the truth as well."

The elder takes one look at Cloud, Hiryuumon and Kirby and says," Ah yes, so the Enji wanted to learn as well?"

Yuri is shocked and says," You know about the Lylat Kingdom and the Enji Knights?"

The elder chuckles and responds with," We as a people may choose to live in isolation, but it does not mean we are unaware of the events that happen to this world."

Ben looks impressed and says," Well, I see you people know your stuff. I am Ben Auro of the Enji Knights, part of squad 7,"

Cloud then goes up to the elder and says," And I am his squad leader Cloud Strife. The three others are Doug Fitter, James Elrond, and Hiryuumon. Also here are two of are comrades Link and Kirby."

He shakes hands with the elder and the long eared man smiles and says," I am glad to see the caliber of a warrior of light for myself. However, I must ask, just why are you intervening in this worlds affairs?"

Cloud then motions to Cloud and says,We were asked by Commandant Alexi of the Zaphas Empire to rescue Princess Estelle in order to avert war. However, it seems the situation is more complicated then we thought. That is why we came here with this group because we were informed you know the answers to these questions."

The elder looks amused and says," Is that so?"

Estelle then goes up to the elder and puts her hands together before she issues out a pleading," Please, I beg of you. Please tell me the truth about the destiny of the child of the fool moon!"

The elder then looks at her and says,"Ah, so the time has come is it? Very well, come with me to the main shrine, there the mural will show the true shape of this world."

He then walks forward and Estelle fallows with Yuri close behind her. Raven then grins and says," Oh good, now I know were to bring this present!"

Seeing Raven take a present with wrapping on it Ben raises eyes brow before he says" You brought a present when you were not even sure these guys were real?"

Raven grins and says," Hey now, this old man knows how to give people there proper respect. And from the price I payee to get it, it should be a blast."

He then walks forward while humming and Ben inches over to Karol and says," Er, is that Raven guy always act this odd?"

He sees Karol laugh nervously and says,"No, most of the time he is even odder. However, while he acts goofy he seemed to be trust worthy enough for us to keep him along. Huh, whoa!" He and Ben see fireballs heading there way and duck as they see it came from an angry Rita! She then says," Hurry up slackers! I want to find out why everyone is after Estelle already!"

As Ben looks annoyed Karol just sighs and throws out a exasperated," Yah, she is always like this to."

He then hurries up and runs after her and Ben turns to his friends and shrugs before they also enter the Elder's large house.

Inside they see an appropriate large room inside. In the back is the mural that seems to have all the answers and when everyone is lined up he says," So, you wish to learn the truth about your power, Child of the full moon? Then let me ask you all this, I am sure you were aware that we do not use Blastia at all in this village.

Yuri then says," Yah, I just thought you guys were so advanced that it was just hidden or something."

The elder then says," No, the use of Blastia is forbidden in this village, not that anyone wants to use it here anyway." Rita then looks annoyed and says," Yes, we all know how much you Kritya hate Blastia. After all it was not long ago that Judith was dressing up as a knight and riding around in her dragon destroying every Blastia in her sight!"

The Elder laughs and reacts with a insightful," Yes, Judith, seems to express are disgust of Blastia to its zeal. However, its time you know that we hate Blastia for a far more important reason than a lifestyle choice. We hate it for causing the world to slowly corrode."

Ben and the others have their eyebrows rise up and our hero curiously states," What do you mean?"

The elder's answer is a grave," Ah yes, you would not be aware. You seem the people of this world use Blastia obviously, and most people are not even aware at what it does. Blastia like the use "bodhi blastia" to enhance their abilities in combat. However while they use it to power themselves, little do they know they are speeding up their own deaths."

Ben eyes the gold necklace on Yuri's wrist and says," So, that's what you're talking about? So it was more than a fashion statement huh?"

Yuri grins and says," I admit I use them to enhance my combat skills. Although, they are not all powerful as you painfully showed."

Ben laughs and says," Blastia, it's not all that different to what the Materia Cloud and friends use or the Ex-spheres Lloyd and his pals used. Many of the Enji have their own special objects."

The Elder then looks at the mural and says," Ah, but were they all created from the particles of the Entelexeia"s souls?"

As everyone is shocked he fallows up with," The blastia are created from a substance called "aer" that lends its power to the blastia's ability, but can be fatal to humans in large concentrations. At least that is the official summery; however the truth is much darker than that.

The "aer" that powers them is not a natural resource. All of this can be traced back to the ancient war and the calamity of the Adephagos."

Link then looks perplexed before he says," What is an Ada, Advcondos?"

The elder points to the giant monster in the wall, and everyone sees what in essence looks like a giant demonic octopus as he says,"That is the monstrosity that nearly destroyed are world thousands of years ago. While even we do not know the entire history, we were able to get the basic details. In the time of the ancient times, humans used a massive amount of energy in order to enjoy them self's. However, they went overboard, and soon consumed far more energy than they should.

This brought a danger to the planet and the Entelexia, whew knew that this was causing problems warned the humans to stop, but they did not listen. The monster race was must infuriated at the humans with high magical powers, the "Children of the full moon". Are ancestors refused to listen and a war broke out.

The details of the ancient war are scarce, but we do know that it was a terrible war.

The humans used so much aer and energy that something happened that no one expected, the surplus of energy summoned the calamity, the Adephagos. It nearly destroyed the world, however legend foretells that the Children of the Full moon sacrificed them self's to destroy it. However, some of them survived, and thrived so much they were the ones who founded this Zaude Empire. However the blood line thinned out and I believe you are the only one who still has that power left

. And that is why the Entelexia want you to be destroyed. Every time you use your power the aer of the world goes out of balance. I suppose they fear that you could possibly bring about another disaster, which might truly end this world.

"Estelle is shocked at all of this and says," So, it's true, I really am the messenger of disaster!"

Ben then thinks about everything he heard and says," That's depressing, but, there must be some way you guys can stop this right? "

The Elder looks down and answers with a glum," Sorry to say, but not really. As long as she exists the world is in danger."

Rita then panics and says," No, are you saying Estelle has to die for the world to be safe! I refuse to accept that. There must be a way, if she never uses her powers again, then she could still live!"

The Elder then says," That is true, but, there is no guarantee she can keep herself from using it. "

Raven looks at the pink haired princess and says," Yah, are big hearted gal can't help but heal anyone she sees hurt with her power. I could see why some would see that would be a problem."

Yuri then gets mad and pounds the table with his fist and says," So your just saying she has to die?"

Raven then looks at Yuri issues a cold," Weren't you the cold hearted man who said a few days ago when an infected part is contaminating the body you chop it off for the good of all?"

Yuri turns to the older man and snaps back with,"But that was different, Estelle is no infected part! "

He then sees her turn to him and says,"But, what other choice do we have Yuri? There seems to be no way to change things."

Everyone hears Ben pretend to cough as he walks up and says," Maybe not by the magic or technology available on this world, but don't think it's hopeless before we have are top scientists look at the situation. I am sure one of the Cid's or are other egg heads can think of a way to make everyone happy."

Estelle looks hopefully and says,"You really think so Ben? Would they really do that?"

Cloud then smiles and says,"The Lylat Kingdom seeks to make as many people as happy as they can be as possible, not just the rich and powerful. It is unacceptable that you are told that either death or a bringer of global despair is your fate. Don't worry, we will find a way to give you a normal life."

Estelle looks relived, but then gets worried and says," Thank you all so much, I am truly grateful. But, what if even they can't find a way?"

Kirby then smiles and Don't worry miss! I saw what these guys can do, there capital city is amazing! It's like they can do nearly anything! And wait till you taste there food!"

Link chuckles and says," I think you're getting of topic now my pink friend, but I also vouch for Ben Auro that there is a very good chance the Lylat Kingdom can find a way to fix things for the better."

Estelle then smiles weakly as she says" Thank you all. If it's ok, I think I'll go on a walk. I need to think about things."

Yuri smiles and says," Don't worry, you just heard a lot of big news so some fresh air would do you good. "

She smiles at Yuri and then walks out the door.

Raven then yawns and says," Man, that was too much info even for me! Think I'll get a walk in to. Oh, before I forget here is my present to you guys for being so darn helpful! Be back in a few. "

Raven then walks off after putting the present down on the middle of the table and Rita eyeballs him as she says," That old man, always acting so casual even when things are so serious. Anyway, you Enji better not be lying about this!"

Ben sighs and says," You really need to be more trusting Rita. I promise you, I won't let anyone harm her. Just from the brief time we had I can see she is someone who truly deserves better than this."

Yuri chuckles and says,"You know, you're good at selling the whole noble warrior stuff."

Ben looks sly and says,"You could say I had plenty of time and experience to get in to character heh. All right, so guys, what do we do from here?"

Cloud looks down and answers with," This changes things a little. Alexei never mentioned any of this stuff. However, it's entirely possible he is unaware of the true situation."

Yuri just says," I doubt it; he always seems like the kind of guy who is on top of everything. I bet he has his own agenda ."

Karol looks worried and looks at Ben before saying," So what are you guys going to do? Are you still going to force Estelle to return to the capital?"

James looks at Cloud and says," It is very easy for things to go out of hand from here. Maybe we should contact Master Myers and the others and ask their advice after explain what we learned? "

Cloud then says," Good idea James. Sir, would you be willing to tell the Grand Master of the Enji what you told us through hologram?"

The Elder looks amused and says,"Hologram? I must admit it's rather exciting to hear about all this new fascinating things you people from the stars have. Very well I will. Oh, but first I might as well see what your friends gift is."

Kirby, Karol and Hiryuumon look at the box and Karol begins to unwrap it as he says,"Just want did Raven get anyway? He never got gifts for any other people. Well, then again this is the first place we went to that was a secret city. Oh?"

He unwraps it, and the Elder then takes out the object inside. Ben gets a look at it and says," Er, that's not a normal present, at least from my standers."

Yuri looks at it and says," What the, that's not normal from my standers either! Where the hell did Raven get a thing like that?

"Ben then gets a better look at the object and sees it's not a present he seen before. It looks like It is a heart-shaped mask with two spikes at top and eight small ones at the bottom: four at the lower left and four at the lower right. What is most creepy about it is its creepy large red eyes with yellow pupils! The elder looks at it and says," Well, this is, exotic to be sure. I am sure I have a place for it on my wall some ware."

Link at last gets a look at the mask, and is so shocked at what he sees that he drops his shield, right on Doug's foot!

Link does not even seem to notice that and just points his finger at the mask as he says," What the? No, impossible! WHERE DID YOU GET THAT MASK!?"

Never hearing Link yell that loud before everyone nearly jumps up and Ben says,"What is it Link? That mask one of the things you collect?"

Link looks horrified and says," On the country, it's something I hoped to never see again! Quickly, destroy it now!"

Yuri looks amused and says," Why, it's cursed or something?"

While Yuri was just joking Link looks at him seriously and says,"You have no idea. That mask is a threat to this planet, because it's much more than a mask, it's a demon filled with demonic power! Its a entity of raw malice! Its, Majora's Mask !

When I somehow stumbled on to the alternate dimension of Hyrule, Termina, it possessed the Skull kid and caused much trouble, it even tried to cause the world's moon to crash in to the planet! Luckily I was able to defeat it. However, I fail to see how it could get all the way here. Never mind, quickly destroy it!"

Everyone looks at the mask and Ben says," Um, maybe it's a duplicate? It seems harmless. Hey, where is this power coming from? It feels, sinister. Oh great."

Everyone then sees the masks eyes glow before Link runs over to the Elder and says," Get away! GUH!"

Just as Link pushes the mask away, two powerful fiery blasts of energy fire from its eyes and hits Link so hard he is blasted through the table as his arms are on fire! At once Ben and the Enji take out there weapons and Ben says," Just peachy, guess it's the genuinely cursed mask."

Yuri looks as the mask begins to shake and has darkness seep out of it before he takes out his sword and says," Raven, you're a bigger idiot then I thought if you were coned in to buying this!"

Karol looks at Yuri and says," Raven told me he got the present from an Fortunes Market merchant, but it must have been one twisted merchant!"

Everyone is spooked to hear the mask begin to emit a demonic creepy chuckle and it says," Ah, so good to be having fun again! Glad I have so many people to witness my rebound terror!"

As Link hurries back up to the group Ben says,"Link, you all right?"

The hero of Time nods and says," I am more fearful of the pain the Happy Mask sells men will give me then that attack. However, I don't understand, how could you be back?"

The mask laughs again and narrows on Link as it says," Ah, clearly destiny is the magnet that pulls us together Link. I do not remember how I was reborn. Someone who hates you far more then I must have used a vast amount of power to put me back together."

Link's eyes narrow and he counters with a sharp" You mean Ganondorf? Does this mean he wants to put this planet under his and the Zannacross Empire's grip?"

The Mask chuckles as it grows larger and tentacles come out of its back as it says,"

I told you, I don't really know nor care how I was brought back. All that matters is that now we can have some more fun! I wonder, shawl I get my pay back by throwing this world's moon right on to you? No, this time ill pull the planet in to its sun! Ben then powers up his own magic energy and says,"The only fun that is going down is you being slashed in to countless pieces!"

Yuri then says," That's for sure. We have more important things to do then deal with ugly masks!"

Judith then takes out her spear and adds," living masks with apocalyptic powers are not welcomed here so its time you leave! Moonlight Talon!"

She then tries to attack Majoria with an uppercut slash but the mask floats backwards while saying," Insignificant creature, I was going to play with Link not you! Get lost!"

It then fires another pair of eye blasts, but Yuri dashes in front of it and defects it with his sword!

He then says," First of all, she is not human. And second of all, even so don't underestimate what we can do! Azure Storm!"Yuri doges another eye blast and then unleashes two blue energy balls that blast the mask! However it's not even scratched and says,"

You think your powers can compare to mine? Pathetic fool, perish!"

It then begins to spin around so fast it looks like an odd colored saw as it races to slice apart Yuri! However, Rita gets in front of him and her magic energy glows as she says,"

You're the one who does not know who she is dealing with freak! Blade Roll!"

She then has her magic energy form as an energy blade and she has it clash in to the demon mask, and impresses Link and the Enji as it is a powerful enough spell to hit the mask back! Karol then charges at the hurled the mask and smashes him with his Punishing Smash attack to smash him right in to the wall! As Yuri sees the mask get smashed he says," Tsc, with ever it's an uptight knight, or a freak no one disrespects Brave Vesperia!"

Ben looks impressed and says," Well, you guys are sure good at fighting like a team."

The evil mask then quickly recovers from those attacks and hovers above the natives its eyes glow and it says,"

You worthless pests, you have no idea my power! Huh?" He then sees Link charging at him from above as his Master Sword glows he says," They may not, but I do! And I won't let you get a chance to repeat the devastation you almost unleashed!"

He then performs his downward thrust slash attack! Majoria tries to get out of the way but Link is too fast, and gets part of his face chipped of! This gets it angry, and its eyes glow as he says," Your sting is even more irritating this time. However you're going to die!"

Ben and Squad 7 then surround the mask as Ben says,"Your quite confidant you can win, and you did not even see what we can do yet! Then again, by the time you do its likely you're going to be dead anyway."

The Mask then has darkness from all over the room and it says,"Enough! Time to suffer, burn at my true power!"

With that the Mask glows, and soon enough everyone but Link is shocked to see arms and legs break out of the mask! As it stands up a small head only equipped with a single eye pops up on the top! Doug sees the incarnation of Majoria and has his fists glow with energy as he says," What is the deal with this freak? "

They are all shocked to see the demon begin to break dance as he says," All right, time for this deadly party to really get started!"

Doug then roars out a angry," All right you freak time you shut up! Bursting Machine Gun punch!

" Doug then unleashes a barrage of lighting fast punches! However, Majoria shows his speed by dodging them all, while apparently doing some sort of moon walk! It then laughs and says," You humans are far too slow to amuse me!"

Cloud's sword then glows and says," Enough! We have things to do so it's time to cut this dance short! Meteor Rain!"

Cloud then unleashes his limit break to fire a barrage of energy meteors at his opponent, however in a flash Majoria is gone! He then warps around different parts of the room each second and says," Hahahah! Not bad human, but my turn!"

Everyone then sees energy blasts rain down from all over and Ben, Cloud, Link and Yuri try to defect them all! Yuri then says," Damn, this is ridiculous! Huh?"

He then sees Majoria warp in front of him and says," You know what is ridiculous human? Your soul, so its time I devour it! "

Yuri then charges at him and says," Devour this! Severing Fang!"

Yuri then attacks but Majoria dashes out of the way and rasps out," Yah right, like you have what it takes! Huh? GUh!"

Right as he dodges Yuri's strike, Ben warps over before kicking Majoria in the head before flash stepping above him and smashes him downward as he says," Here is your answer!"

As Majoria gets out of the imprint Ben made on him he glares at Ben and says," You rotten human, I hate the energy I sense from you. I will make you pay for damaging me! Now, feel my wrath! RAH!"

Everyone is shocked as Majoria 's magic energy increases, and he begins to get muscular! Soon the single eye has a new sinister head forms around it and it now has three eyes! As it gets much larger and completes its transformation to its final form Hiryuumon growls and says," No matter how ugly you get your not stopping us and the boss!" Marjora now snarls out a hateful," You're the ugly pests that are about to get ripped apart!"

He then charges at readies to smash Ben but the welder of the Star Sword is able to avoid it. As he sees the demon turn its eyes to Ben he then says," Well, he has gotten more powerful but his speed has not increased that much. As long as we can avoid his attacks in time to combined are attacks we should be able to finish him soon enough, huh? Whoa!"

He is shocked to see two tentacles break out of the ground and entrap Ben! At once they emit a powerful shock that unleashes some serious voltage at Ben! At once his friends call out to him and Kirby says," Hey! Leave him alone you freaky three eyed bully! "

Majora just laughs madly and responds with a sadistic," Ah, this is even more fun than last time! I won't let any of you go! Ill squeeze, smash, bash, slice, or blast the life out of everyone on this planet! You know Link, I do remember one thing when I got a get out of death free card. I saw this giant blazing eye, commanding me to kill. And it sounds good to me!"

Ben tries to overpower Majora 's tentacles and says," Damn you freak, you're going to be dead soon."

Link then adds a assertive," I may not have the power of the Fierce Deity mask this time around, but I am a lot stronger, still have the Master Sword, and have my friends!"

Majora then has his eyes glow, and the symbol of the Zannacross Empire appears on his forehead and says," Enough! Time for all you humans to be devoured in darkness! It's the only fate you have!"

He then sees Yuri charge at him as he says," Sorry freak, but humans are not just food for you demons! Shinning Fang Drop!"

Yuri then sends his opponent flying with his twirling blade and then sends him crashing him to the ground! As his grip loosens he snarls and says," Shut up and die!"

He then shocks Yuri by forming spinning energy blades at his hands and hurls them at Yuri! While he desires to see the former knight sliced in to spare body parts Yuri is able to slash one in half, while Cloud slashes the other two with his two separate blades and Kirby smashes the other one by transforming with his stone power!

Majora then tries to fire a blast of energy from his mouth at Yuri, but his dog pal proves he is as good with a sword then most men when in a flash he attacks the demon from behind with its Phantom Fang attack! Yelling in pain it glares at the dog and says,You dare to ruin my fun, but all it will mean is that everyone hear is going to suffer. I was supposed to wait till that other guy got here to go all out, but I have run out of patience!"

Link gets mad and his Tri-Force of Courage glows as he says," What? You mean Ganondorf? No, I won't let either you or him harm anyone else! Time you perish once and for all demon!"

He then fires a volley of light arrows at the demon and his foe tries to block them with his arm, but the light energy still burns him! Ben then unleashes his power and shatters his foes grip with his magic energy as his sword shines brightly and he says," Its time you face your fate Majora! Anyone who tries to harm the innocent will have to answer to the Enji Knights, manly me! Shinning Flare Slash!"

His sword has the magic energy around it grow to three times the size as he charges at the demon to finish it off! However it back steps out of the way just in time but it still has the tip of its flesh sizzled of from Ben's power! It then says," Damn you human! But you will never be able to hit me! Huh, where did he come from!"

He then sees Yuri charging at him from behind and both his sword and his Blastia glows as he says," You're a pretty annoying demon, but its time you feel the true power of humans! Divine Wolf Blaze!"

He then slashes at Majora with a quick circular motion, and slices right in to its chest before unleashing a powerful barrage of blazing sword strikes! This causes a chain reaction and the monster feels much pain as he says," What? This is not funny! I can't go this way! NO, RAH!"

With that the demon can no longer control his power or the damage he contained, and Majoria raises his hands and gives one last angry scream before his body burns and explodes! As its fragments fall on the ground Yuri takes a deep breath and Karol runs over to him and says,"Wow, that was awesome Yuri! "

Yuri just waves his hand and issues a casual,"Oh it was nothing much, just took my shot when I saw the opening. Sorry if I stole your kill Enji."

Ben just sighs and says," Don't worry, this is not a game to see who gets the most kills. I admit you are one fierce warrior Yuri Lowell. "

Yuri chuckles as he reacts with," You're not so bad yourself Ben Auro. All right, fierce cry of victory!"

Repede then howls in delight and the Elder wipes the dust of his cloak before saying," That, was not the way I expected to spend the afternoon . Still, thank you for disposing that demon. It will be quite the story to tell. This day seems to be both full of telling and seeing stories."

Karol then says,"To bad Estelle and Raven missed out seeing it. Hey, where are they anyway?

"Rita then looks around and says," That's odd, usually she would be hear as soon as she heard fighting. What happened"

Yuri looks outside and says," Maybe she was at the edge of the city. At least, I hope that's what it is. Come on, let's find them."

They all nod and Link says," Yes, I also must ask that Raven fellow where he got that mask. And I hope he did not know it's true origins ."

Yuri sighs and says" Me too. Damn it, don't do this old man."

With that everyone hurries outside and at once searches for the pink haired princess and the odd man in purple. "However, even though they travel through the entire city, no one knows where Estelle and Raven are! Everyone meets at the landing platform and Yuri and the rest of Brave Vespria look worried as Yuri says," Damn it! Where did they go!? Even Repede can't smell them around!"

Ben looks concerned and says," I can't sense there power levels either. This is a problem. "

Rita then says," Why would Estelle leave the city? Unless, she did not have a choice!"

Everyone is about to figure out what to do next when one of the blue haired males walks up to Judith and says," Um you said you were looking for that pink haired princess Judith?

"Everyone at once sets their eyes on him and Judith says," Yes, did you see them? "The person looks nervous and says,

" Yes, a few minutes ago. I saw the older man taking her to the teleportation Blastia chamber. He said he just wanted to take a tour, but then again, they never did come back."

Rita is about to lose it as she says," Idiot, you let them get away!"

Doug then says," Damn it, no way I am letting a kooky odd ball like that trick us!"

With that he and Ben flash step to quickly reach the chamber, but as they burst in they are dismayed to see the machinery has all been smashed up! As the others arrive behind them Yuri sees the busted technology and punches the wall saying,"

Damn it! We are too late. Raven, you were always a fishy guy. But the Don trusted you, so I thought there was something to you! What are you planning to do with her?"

Karol then looks upset before he and says," Why Raven, were you always working behind are backs? We have to find where they went!"

Yuri then gets stressed before he unleashes a frustrated," How, the machine is broken and theses Enji can't every sense her!"

Ben takes a deep breath and says," Calm down Yuri, there is still way to track her."

Cloud then nods and elaborates with," Cid might be able to track down all the recent warp signatures."

Judith then says," I could also ask Ba'ul if he senses a disturbance in the aer. But, thank you for this."

Ben nods and says,

" Don't worry, it's what we do. And in any case, I hate to see nice girls like her sad."

Yuri just looks annoyed and says," I get it your quite the ideal cliché hero no need to rub it in. Still, thanks for the help.

"Ben nods and says," Heh, I guess the many battles and near death experiences are paying off after all. All right, let's do, hey! Who are you calling a cliché hero? Your more of the cliché anti hero then I am! You don't know my history!"

Yuri chuckles and says," Maybe not but your attitude is all I need to know. Let's just say I don't do things the normal way. "

Cloud looks annoyed and walks forward as he interjects with,"Enough, this will be as pointless as me and Squall addressing to all the newcomers why we are not emo. Let's just get going and find Estelle."

"With this everyone hurries back to the Neo High-Wind. Once inside it seems Cid was paying attention, and he was able to list all the warp trails and the destination that they were beamed in, and luckily since it's not a very common thing on this world Cid shows only one trail, and the hologram display shows some sort of run downed shrine and Judith's eyes widen as she says," That is, the forgotten shrine of Baction!

"Yuri then says," That looks like a likely place to go, if you're up to a diabolical plot.

"Hiryuumon then looks determined and says," It's a good thing the boss, me and the others happened to be in the business of plot busting!"

Ben laughs before saying," That's right, and it's time to reveal another plot underneath the curtain, let's go Cid! Cid nods and says," Lucky for you impatient yawpers it's only going to take a short trip, so hold on to something!

" With that Cid looks excited and presses the over boost, and are heroes are nearly blown of their feet as there method of transportation rockets at full speed to their destination! In a matter of minutes they arrive, and soon enough the Enji, there alleys and the members of Brave Vesperia .

As they land, they see the shrine and another massive crab like tank to its side! At the moment its firing all weapons, but not at the Enji! As they get closer to the shrine Ben sees the machine firing at what appears to be various monsters! He then says,"What is this?"

Rita then says," That is the mobile fortress Heracles, the Zaphias Empire's most powerful weapon!"

Judith then says," No, and its attacking the Entelexia!

"Cloud then sees the Heracles fire of its main particle cannon in to the mountain beyond the shrine and says," I don't believe we knew the Zaphas Empire had that kind of technology. They clearly have their own agenda, and it's foolish to think they can outwit us. Whatever scheme is going on it must be a detailed one if they are risking confronting the full power of the Lylat Kingdom."

Yuri looks confident and readies his sword as he says," To hell with that, ill crush them all myself!"

Ben then says," I sense several magical energies up front. Time to find out just what is going on!

" With that are hero's dashes to the entrance in a zigzag like formation to avoid getting in the line of Heracles' line of fire! Soon enough they are at the front entrances, and see a lot of Knights in front of them! It does not seem they were expecting the Enji, and the front line says," It's the Enji! What are they doing here?"

Ben takes out his Star Sword and says,"What, so surprised to see us? You're acting as if you did not expect to see us!" The sergeant of the group then says,"

Yuri Lowell and his lot as well? No, this was not part of the mission detail!"

Cloud then says," You have a lot of explaining to do. Did you really think you could get away with backstabbing us?"

Yuri then has his magic energy explode as he says," Enough! Where is Estelle? "All of a sudden they all hear a few claps, and the solders move back, as none other than Alexei steps out of the entrance! He then says,"Ah, the lovely Squad 7. So glad of you for tracking down Brave Vespria . You Enji are truly worth all the trouble."

Ben then looks mad and points his sword at Alexei before saying," Commandant, I thought you were smart. However it seems you're a class A idiot to think you can try and backstab us! Trust me, you're not the first one to try and much more powerful forces failed to get it done!"

Alexi looks sly and retorts with a devious,"Oh but you think too little of me. I have no intention of trying to backstabbing you warriors of light. Just throwing you of my trail long enough to put everything in to place! And now that the stage is set, this is the end!"

Yuri then gets mad and says," Shut up you corrupt maniac! Where the hell is Estelle? Return her now or ill slash that arrogant look of your face before your head fallows suit!"

Alexei just sighs and darkly mutters," Mister Yuri Lowell, your behavior has been most aggravating. If Flynn was not so attached to his dear childhood chum I would have had you handed your proper destiny years ago! Still, you have been useful to me. You were able to do me the favor of disposing of those failures Cumore, Ragou and Barbos after they done there parts. Ah, and it's all for this!

You wanted to see where Estelle is? Don't worry she is unharmed, and she is right here!" He then takes out his blue sword and has it glow, and then a massive light shines before the ground beneath him breaks out and Estelle appears! However, she seems to be trapped in a blue energy ball with two metal rings sealed with markings! And worse of all she seems to have an electrical current control her!

Rita then says," Estelle! What did you do to her!"

Alexei then looks at her and says," Oh this? It's nothing, just a contraption I created with the help of those that know the true potential of the powers of the Child of the Full Moon! Everyone calls her powers lethal to the world, but this way her powers will help shape the world's true destiny!"

Link then grasps his blade tightly before he shouts out a furious," It looks more like you have the poor lady as your prisoner! Release her now!"

They all charge at Alexei, but he waves his hand and another light shines from within the pink haired women, and she screams in pain as a surge of power explodes as it blasts everyone back! She then says," No, everyone! Don't come any closer! I can't control my power!"

Alexi laughs and says," Of course not, because with my system, that power is mine to command! It's pointless, none of you can compare to this!"

Ben then powers up and says," You forgetting something? The power of the Star Sword is no joke Alexei! And I have had my fill of backstabbing politicians! "

Alexei backs of as he sees the power of Ben's begin to rise and he says," Of course I did not forget about you, the supposed chosen warrior of theses so called celestial ones. However, even you will not stop my plans. It's far too late for anyone to stop me! Now, witness the true power that governs life!"

He then clutches his hand, and forces the Child of the Full Moon to unleash her power in a massive energy flare! Despite her screaming in despair she can't control her body and sends the attack right at Yuri! However Ben is able to catch the blast, but it pushes him back! As he struggles to overpower it he says," Damn it, this is getting bad. However, there is no way; I will allow you to use her like your tool! You're going to regret this Alexei!"

With that he manages to defect the blast and hurls it in to the air before it explodes! Just as everyone is ready to fight though, they see that Alexei and Estelle are gone!

Yuri then snarls out a bitter," That rat, he saw his power was not as great as he thought and ran!"

Cloud just says," He must either be a coward or smarter then we gave him credit for. However, Estelle's power is still leaving a rather hard to miss trail. He seems to be trying to lead us in to some sort of trap. "

Rita then says,"Well, all he is doing is trapping himself because when I get my hands on him ill make him wish he was never born!"

Yuri then adds a vindictive," That's right, we don't let anyone mess with one of our own. Time to finish this!"

The knights that are still standing drawl their swords but Ben and the others all power up there magical energies and Ben says," Not a smart move, unless you want to be moved aside quite forcibly!"

A few of the knights look nervous and there leader says,"Its, the duty of the Royal Guard to serve the Empire with upmost faithfulness!"

Ben then looks solemn as he says," I see, that's a pity because you have no real reason to fight us. In fact, you know there is no real reason to fight us so your going to move aside and retreat so you can live." With that Ben waves his hand and his aura blazes in intensity. Suddenly the commander of the Knights blinks before he says," Your right, there is no reason for us to fight you so we are going to withdrawal. Well then men, lets withdrawal!"

Yuri and his group is shocked to see the knights all nod before dashing to the right! He sees them go off before he blinks and says," Seriously, are the knights that simple minded?"

Cloud just chuckles as he responds with," Maybe not simple minded, but they are clearly conflicted enough to have there minds influenced. Nice work Ben, I see your mind trick spell has improved."

Ben tries to play it cool as he says," Well, I just don't want to see people die just because they are being abused by wicked people. I know what its like, so if I can do anything to help I will."

The others are about to say more when suddenly they hear the ground shake. Cloud turns to the left and sees the Heracles moving its cannons on them, and says," Everyone hurry inside!"

They do and enter the sanctum to try and pursue the mad Commandant. They find more knights and a few knights machine called Prefect Murders as well as a bunch of tamed monsters. However are heroes resolve is quite stronger and they crush all opposition! They clear a few floors of obstacles before they find a large pathway, being blocked by a giant wall of pure purple energy with some sort of symbol on it! Kirby then says," Oh no! It seems they set up a really big magical road block!"

Ben then says," If Alexei thinks that's all it takes to keep us away its time he learns the true power of the Enji, and my power! Shinryuken, huh?"

He is about to blast the door down with his energy wave blast when Cloud holds out his hand and says," Wait Ben, be careful. If we force the seal open it could cause the entire area to collapse and kill everyone."

Ben then stops and says," Ah your right, but, what other choice is there?"

Rita then sighs and says,

" I want to free her from that vile cage that jerk has her in more than anyone. But, we have to tread this carefully. See that terminal? This door is a sort of password, and I think I can crack the formula."

She then tries to open the terminal, but a powerful bolt of electricity shocks her back! Karol then looks around before he yells out a worried," Alexei must have rigged it so that once he entered no one could try and mess with it!"

Yuri then says," Damn it, I guess brute force is the only option if we are going to stop her!"

Ben nodes and prepares to fire again when everyone hears a new deep voice say," Foolish humans, is brute force the only thing you can answer to? "

Sensing an huge power level coming out of no ware to the left Ben, Cloud and Link all take out there swords and Cloud says," What the, one of Alexei's men? "

The new arrival then intersects with," Don't insult me; I would never have anything to do with that likes of weak souls like him."

This new man then steps out of the shadows, and Ben sees Yuri does not seem to worry. This man is in a sort of regal red and black uniform. He has sliver long hair, but not as long as Sephiroth's and his eyes are red. He is holding a fancy red sword with some sort of gem inside it. Ben sees Yuri walk up to him and says," Duke? When did you get here? "

Duke looks annoyed and answers with a detached," I arrived here as soon as I heard the cry of the Entelexeia I arrived here, only to see that the situation has became even more dire. And it seems you arrogant fools did not heed my warning."

Ben then sighs before he glances at the native hero's and says," So, I take it this guy is a friend of yours Yuri?"

Yuri looks annoyed as he responds with,"More like a acquaintance who always leaves with more demands and questions than answers.

He has helped us, although he has left us out to dry several times."

Duke then looks at Ben and Kirby before saying," So, you're the people from another world who try to interfere with the status of this world."

Ben sighs and says," Interfere? Looks like if we were not hear things would be even worse! So, what's your deal Duke? You hear to help or fight?"

Duke grasps his fist before he responds with a stern,"I will not allow Alexei to fulfill his plans, no matter what it takes."

Karol then says," Wait, you're not going to kill Estelle are you? She is being forced to be that jerk's tool it's not her fault if her power is endangering the world!"

Duke quickly reacts with a indifferent,"Maybe so, but it is what it is. Her mere existence will always put this world on the verge of the total annihilation. Tell me, do you truly think you know the best path to solve the crises that this world is in?"

Yuri gets mad and says," What we know got nothing to do with it! Are motto is always do what is right. Estelle is are friend, and no matter what we won't let her die! No one is going to stop us, not theses Enji, not Alexei, and not you Duke! So either get out of our way or prepare to fight!"

Duke just looks at Cloud and says," What about you, so called warriors of light? "

Cloud then says,"We will do what is best for everyone, but at the same time we are not cruel. If even a single chance for Estelle to live exists we will fight for it."

Duke then sighs and says,"Optimism and impulsiveness can lead to so many paths. Find then, if you truly think you can change the destiny of that child then show me. Take Dein Nomos and prove to me you can stand by your methods Yuri Lowell."

He then walks over and hands Yuri his sword and Yuri says,"What, is this a trick?"

Duke then uses his magical power to have the sword float in front of Yuri and he says," No, I want to see just how far your resolve will take you before you are forced to face the truth. Don't make me waste my time. And another thing, that sword is the sword of the emperors; it's more valuable than your life's so don't let anything happen to it."

Duke then glows before he vanishes in a column of light! Ben looks at Yuri and says," I see what you mean, he is not exactly mister personal. Still, that sword he gave you better be real. "

Yuri takes hold of the sword and says," I saw him use Dein Nomos to do a lot of powerful things like wipe out aer currents before. It should be able to take care of this door. We don't have a lot of time to tread carefully so it's better than stalling anymore!"

Ben nods, then steps back as Yuri tries to channel his energy through the magical blade. At first it looks like it might be a failed experiment but soon Dein Nomos glows and a surge of energy surrounds Yuri! Soon some sort of group of energy blades swirl around him before he fires a beam at the energy barrier, and causes it to dissipate at once! Seeing their path clear Ben says," Well, looks like Duke was being honest about wanting to see if we have what it takes. Looks like you have quite a lot of people with high expectations Yuri."

Yuri just shrugs and reacts with a sly,"Must be my charisma. All right, time to bust some heads. "

With that they nod and descend down to the bottom level of the shrine.

After clearing few a few more foolish guards they at last see a shrine like area, along with Alexei and Estelle! In front of the mad Commandant they see an odd white deer creature, and it appears to be one of the Entelexeia! Alexei is looking down on the monster as several odd robbed figures appear to be chanting around it!

He then says," Astial, how does it feel to face your last moments in the very temple that worships you? Heh heh heh."

The being looks near death but just says," Wretched, human. "Even while she is still being controlled she says," No, enough, stop this Alexei!"

The white haired man just looks at her and reacts with a mocking," Heh, if you're so eager to free him from his suffering, why not use your healing arts to comfort him? Oh that is right, because it will kill him. Tsc, alone you are nothing more than a poisonous blight on this world. I'm sure you understand that now. Only through me, can anything productive be brought out of you! Hahahaha! AH, and you have come as expected, Yuri and friends."

He senses many power levels and turns around to see the determined heroes before Yuri says," Estelle! Are you ok?"

Alexei just looks amused and says,"What stubborn fools you all are."

Cloud points his sword at the red wearing man as he says,"You're the misguided fool, did you really think whatever power you gained would be enough to take on the Lylat Kingdom"

Alexei looks insulted and says," I am no fool Cloud, of course I did not think I alone could defy the government that rules over the majority of the cosmos. However, I am not alone and my alleys have the power to reshape the cosmos!"

The trapped princess sees her friends are here and says," Yuri! Everyone!"

Rita then says," Estelle! We are here to rescue you!"

Alexei looks dismissive and as he narrows his eyes he darkly states," Humph, all of you are incapable of saving this princess. I am her only hope to salvation!"

Yuri just has Dein Nemos shine with his magic energy as he says," Spare me, and prepare to die you scum!"

Alexei looks at his prisoner and retorts with a wry," The most glorious moment for any tool is when it is finally used. Even the poison of this can be a blessing if used correctly. And only I can do this."

He then has a small blue crystal float in to his hand and has it glow as he says,"Now princess, come with me. Without me I am afraid your power will, become too unstable!"

With that he forces her to release another shockwave of holy energy that Ben protects everyone from with a hastily sent up barrier! He is about to charge his new foe when everyone hears Astial growl in pain and Alexei turns back to him before laughing and saying," Weren't you Entelexeia suppose to be masters of this world? "

He points his sword at it before Yuri says," Stop it! Let her go now!"

He seems to ignore Yuri and walks over to the creature before kicking it and saying," Oh, how disappointing, he appears to be dead."

Estelle looks horrified and says," But, how can that be? No!"

Everyone then sees Alexei fire a powerful dark blue energy blast to destroy the monsters body, and a small glowing gem reminds! He picks it up and says," Smaller then I would have hoped, but it can still be used in any number of ways. I doubt Agahnim will mind. "

Link 's eyes widen as he says,"Agahnim? No, it can't be that Agahnim could it? Who are you working for Alexei?"

Alexei chuckles and turns to everyone while saying," Tsc, you all came this far, now be baptized in the aer this princess charged with her own hands!"

He then forces Estelle to change the very air around them to poison ! However Yuri takes out Dein Nemos again and says," Take this!" He then unleashes the swords power to change the air back to normal!"

Alexei was not expecting this and says,"What? What are you doing with that sword? What happened to Duke?"

Yuri just grins and says,"He gave this to us before he took off. And he did not seem that worried about you."

Alexei laughs and says," What irony: that which I have searched all these years only to arrive at my feet just as I no longer have a need for it. With the Child of the Full Moon, the apatheia, my knowledge, and the power of my alleys, Dein Nomos means nothing to me now. "

Yuri just snickers before he lashes back with," Talk to yourself a lot huh? Not a good sigh, now shut up and let Estelle go!"

Alexei then gives a devious smirk as he says," Are you certain that is what the princess wants? "

Ben looks annoyed and remarks with a dry,"Yah right, I hardly think anyone wants to be someone's tool to world domination. Right Estelle? Huh?"

He sees she is in more pain as she says," I, don't know. As long as I am with everyone I will just bring more pain to you and this world. But, I want to be with you guys. I, just don't know what to do!"

Yuri then says," Estelle, if there is something you are conflicted about we will take care of it, together! But first ill break you out of that magical cage, AH!"

Right as he and Ben dash at her they are blasted to the wall by a surge of power! Estelle looks miserable and says," I, I can't take this!"

Alexei laughs again and Now mister Yuri Lowell, such brash behavior does not befit a young lady's escort. Not very gentlemanly of you at all. "

Ben gets back on his feet and quips back with a dry," Yah, kidnapping her and using her against her will is SO much more honorable. That's it; you're going down no matter how many pieces you are going to be in when you land!"

Yuri then also gets back in to fighting stance and says," Sorry for my lack of manners. There aren't many gentlemen where I'm from."

Alexei then looks angry and says,"That sword, and all of you for that matter, are nothing more than a annoyance now. I will rid myself of you here. Heh, I always did want to test the power of the Enji Knights."

Ben, Cloud, Doug and James all unleash their magic energy and Alexei is nearly blown back as Cloud says," Oh, you will get a first hand taste of are power all right. We just dealt with another megalomaniacs who thought his noble ideals could let him try and justify trying to kill us, and your nothing but a pale intimation of Kira!"

Alexei then has his sword shine and his own magic energy explode before he says,"Don't think you can afford to underestimate me 'hero's'! The combined wrath of my power and the energy of the Child of the Full moon just might shock you! Come, let me show you!"

Yuri then says," With pleasure! Huh?

" Just as he and everyone charge at him, a wall of magical ice forms around them and an echoing voice says," That is enough of letting your pride command your actions Alexei! We cannot afford to leave anything to chance!"

Yuri then tries slashing the ice only for his sword to start to freeze and he says," What the hell is this? "

Link then says," That voice, no, don't tell me, Agahnim?"

The hero from Hyrule 's fears are conformed when a bolt of lightning strikes down on the ground and the red and green magician of darkness appears in front of the Commandant!

Alexei looks annoyed and says," Agahnim, sorry if you got impatient. I was just about to wrap things up here."

The cloaked man's eyes glow and says," Then allow me to wrap things up faster. Remember, mistakes can not be allowed for everything to go as planned. "

Link at once gets mad and says," First that Majora and now you? I don't know how you were brought back to the living Arahinim, but this time I will make sure you stay dead! I know that if you are here that Ganondorf is involved somehow. Tell me, is he on this world?"

The foe hovers above Estelle and says," I see no reason to tell you my masters current affairs. With ever or not the king of evil is on this world the fate of Terca Lumireis is the same. The same of all worlds, to be bound by the supreme power of the dark side!"

Ben then says," Another puppet of Ganondorf huh? There goes this mission ending easily. Still, no matter who gets in are way, we will free Estelle and stop all of you!"

Arahinim laughs evilly and his hands glow while he says,"

Not this time Enji. This time are plan cannot be stopped! Once and for all, you will all die in the manner you deserve!"

He the waves his hands, and the robbed chanters throw of there cloaks, to show that they are the Black Waltz mage type of Necrocalcous! As they all fly in to the air the dark magician laughs and say," Now, let us hastily begin the ritual Alexei."

Alexei smirks and responds with a callous,"Very well, I do suppose it's better to take care of this first. Heh, luckily I have my cadged birds to peck out theses traitor's lives. Now, I expect these people dead when I report in Yeager, make sure everyone gets along!"

With that Arahinim fires a blast of energy that enwraps him, the cadged Estelle above him and Alexei in a pillar of darkness that warps them all away! Yuri charges at them in a foolish effort to stop them and says," No, get back here you coward! Estelle! Huh, whoa!"

He sees a green energy blast coming at his side and slashes it in half with Dein Nomos and as he lands he hears a clapping noise!

Then he hears a voice say," Bravo my lad! You are all performing so splendidly! However, now it's time to end the show ya?"

The intruder reviles himself as a man with purple blue hair and wearing a business suit while holding a scythe!

Yuri looks mad and says," Oh great, so now your here to Yeager?"

Karol sees Ben and his group looking perplexed before he then says,"That's the leader of the Leviathans Claw Guild, and the man who has been causing us trouble for a while, and the man who made the Don have to be killed!"

Yeager looks amused and says,"Oh you foolish boy, don't you remember that it was Yuri that killed the old man?"

Yuri then looks mad and responds with a bitter," I only did that to give him a painless death. It was you who manipulated things to make it so bad that he had to be killed to make up for Belius 's death and prevent a Guild War! Enough, so you're getting your hands with Alexei and his messed up pals? Find, I wanted to make you pay anyway! If he though you and a bunch of demons were enough to do us in he is dead wrong!"

Yeager looks sly and says," Oh please, I am just the front line! Why don't you see who else is invited to today's party yah?"

With that everyone hears footsteps and a whole legion of Knights enter the room from a secret back door! They all stand at attention as a man who is obviously there commander enters! Ben sees he is wearing a red and orange uniform holding a sword. Ben sees he has black hair and has the feeling he seen him before. "

The knights behind him salute him and he says,"Capitan Schwann, we will obey your orders. Return safely!"

To our hero's surprise the whole group of Knights march of! Yuri then says," Captain Schwann is it? I thought you always let your knights handle things for you? What's with the change? Huh, what is it Repede?"

His dog sniffs the man and barks loudly at the new warrior. This causes Schwann to laugh and say," Well, I suppose there is no fooling the nose of a dog."

Karol's eyes widen and he says," That voice, no it can't be! Raven?

Hiryuumon then looks at Ben and says," I can smell it to boss! This guy smells just like the werido that was with theses guys before!"

Yuri then says," This is a really bad joke Raven! One of the union's most important members, and the right hand man of Don Whitehorse is a member of the Imperial Knights? Is this what was really going on Raven?"

Karol then says," Wait? What about the Don Raven? "

There former ally then says," Conversing with you is not one of my duties." Yuri then says," So, you really are going to stop us ? Whoa"

He then sees the Knight charge at him as he says," I will not let anything deter me from my duty, Apocalypse Toll!"

He then goes to slash at Yuri with his burning sword and the long haired hero dodges as his foe hits the ground and shatters the area around him! A sadden Karol says," Raven, so you really are serious?"

Rita then gives her former comrade a death glare as she shouts out," You jerk! I won't ever forgive you!"

Ben looks annoyed and says," I don't know what your deal is, but if you really slicked that demon mask on us your going to pay."

Yuri then says," Wait, you're not really thinking about trying to stop us are you?"

Whoever the man is he walks to them and says," Schwann Oltorain, Captain of the Imperial knights ready to do battle!"

Yeager laughs and says," How pathetic, you silly fools were played along like the idiots you are! But, now the cast is set, ah that is if our last member will finally show himself eh?"

Yuri just says," What the hell are you talking about you, huh, whoa!"

He then sees the ground beneath him burst open and he raises his sword just in time to avoid a new blade going right in to his head! Ben sees a man with red hair and two red swords along with a mechanic right arm rise out of the ground and press his sword against Yuri's! The man laughs madly and says,"Yuri Lowell, I finally found you! This time, this time I am going to cut you up!" Yuri then says," Damn it, how they drag you along Zagi?"

The new foe says," I don't care what these guys are up to, I just fallowed them so I could kill you!"

Yuri kicks the guy back and Ben gets next to him and says," You seem to have friends from all over Yuri! What's this guy's deal?"

Yuri sighs and says,"Beats me, I saw him at the castle when my journey began. He was there to kill Flynn and thought I was him. But ever since I curb stomped him then he has been obsessed with fighting and killing me. He just can't take a hint!"

Zagi laughs and licks his blade while saying,"Yuri Lowell, I see you have a bunch of new friends. Bah, no matter how many of them there are. I will kill everyone regardless; after all I am the most powerful warrior of all!"

Ben rolls his eyes and says," Great, another guy who is almost as full of himself as Brad or Kira! Whatever, the cast list got a little bloated here. However, no matter how many sick freaks are here ill make sure all of you are smashed through the ground were you belong so we can rescue Estelle! "

Yeager laughs and snaps his fingers before his own minions, the of masked and red lenses wearing assassins called Argent's appear out of the shadows around him and he says," So theses are those Enji that cause so much ruckus? Looks like ill have more stuff to sell at the next auction! Oh yes, the sword of an Enji will make quite a sell!"

Yuri then chuckles before he brazenly declares,"Forget it Yeager, Ben is right because even if you all gang up on us, no one is going to stop us from saving Estelle from Alexei! Now, let's finish this!"

With this the two groups charge at each other, and the battle underneath the Shrine of Bacton begins!

Meanwhile, as the Enji and Brave Vespria fight over the fate of the pink haired princess, the ones who have taken control of her destiny and body have just landed from the warp spell!

Estelle sees she is back on top of her castle; in fact she is on the tip of the sword stairs!

She then says," What is this? What are you doing?What could possibly be worth all this pain and suffering?"

Alexei then looks maniacal as he says," Now then princess, there is no need to ruin the suspense. Your true fate will be opened to your eyes soon enough and then at last the true power of this world will be on my finger tips!"

As he laughs Agahnim looks at the sky and mutters,"Tsc, maybe at your fingertips human, but lord Ganondorf will be the one who will have the ultimate power in his hands, along with his revenge!"

Well, looks like once more things have gotten dire! With their ally Raven relived to be a traitor and Estelle's powers being controlled by the traitor Alexei and the servant of the king of evil it seems that thesis world is going to see a lot of craters before the end of the week! Can Ben Yuri and co defeat everyone in the shrine and still have time to rescue Estelle from the bad guys' grip?

To find out tune in next time to Tales of the Cosmic Wars! In are next chapter the good guys battle Yeager, Zagi and Schwann along with the rest of the henchmen to get to where they really want to be.

As they fight the true tragic reason for Schwann siding with Alexei is reviled, however Yuri won't let anything stop him. While are heroes are able to put the bad guys in a corner Alexei shows them how determined he is to bury them all when the whole place begins to crumble!

Thanks to Ben's quick reaction they manage to escape the shrine.

After reuniting with Luke and Cecil's squads along with Flynn's forces they make a bee line to the Zaphias castle,

however Alexei is determined to keep the Enji and Brave Vespria out, and sends both the mobile weapon Heracles and the various monsters like Twilit Dragon Argorok summoned by Agahnim to keep the Enji from interfering with his ritual! However Ben is in no mood for the bad guys to get away again and shows of his new power when he single handily decimates the Heracles!

However, even with Ben's power clearly being nothing to take lightly anymore. Can he Yuri and co stop Alexei and Agahnim on top of the capital castle in time to save her?
