Chapter 15: All Hail Necrafa
Hi everyone I'm back with a new chapter. I was so excited for this one I got it out as fast as I could while making it as awesome as possible. Answers will be revealed and I have a sneak peek of other villians who will be coming back. Also just to tell you all right now I am not pairing Em with Ryou. I need her canon relationship for a certain episode to work. I hope you like what I have planned. Please Review and Enjoy.
At Dreadbane's base, Dreadbane was furious at the loss of the Dragon Disk, Codex Piece and losing his prisoner Dante Vale.
"Curse you Mysticons! You break into my lair! Steal my Dragon Disk! My Codex Piece! How did they even know about Dante Vale?!" Dreadbane roars smashing his skeleton soldiers to pieces. "I failed. I was so close to freeing you my Queen. Curse you Mysicons and Seekers! Curse your bones!"
Nearby Tazma smirks at Dreadbane's failure and walks down the hall to see the Trix and Nick had been thrown in the dungeons for failing Dreadbane.
"How the mighty have fallen." Tazma smirks.
"What do you want?" Icy asks.
"I come offering you all payback to the Mysticons and freedom from these cells, but if I do this you 4 serve me from now on." Tazma offers.
"We're listening." Nick said as Tazma smirks.
At the Astromancers hall, the Mysticons and Seekers were standing before Nova Terron with the Dragon Disk and all the Codex Pieces.
"It's time." Nova Terron said as the girls lifted their codex pieces into the air and spun around the Dragon Disk.
"They're doing it. They're uniting the Codex." Malvaron said in awe.
"Whoa." Ryou said amazed.
"Book of power, tome of the ages." Piper chants firing her Phoenix.
"Now's the hour to assemble your pages." Zarya chants firing her wolf.
"Forces of evil, we did smite." Em chants firing her unicorn.
"So your wisdom and knowledge we could unite." Arkayna finishes firing her dragon causing the 4 pieces to unite into one codex.
"Now that's amazing." Tecna said in awe.
"And we helped." Zhalia smiles.
"Of course, like they could have done anything without us." Sophie smirks.
"It's so beautiful." Doug sniffles before blowing his nose.
"It's fabtaculor!" Piper smiles.
"Whoa." Arkayna said not believing it as Zarya put her hand on her shoulder.
"You girls did it." Ryou said walking over.
"No, we did it." Zarya smiles as Choko chirps in agreement.
"Well done Mysticons. Despite all the trouble you've been you've performed your duties admirably." Nova Terron smiles grabbing the book.
"We had a good Solann and some really good friends." Arkayna said reaching for the Codex but Nova Terron pulls it away.
"What do you think you're doing?" He glares.
"I promised the princess we would use the Codex to free her parents from Dreadbane's spell." Arkayna said.
"No. Your most important task awaits you." Nova Terron said.
"Hold your griffins. We just went through all that trouble to assemble the codex, what could be more important than that?" Zarya asks.
"Destroying it." Nova Terron declares shocking them.
"Uh Nova Terron?" Ryou asks getting his attention. "Quick question and don't take this the wrong way but are you insane?"
"Yeah we worked our butts off to assemble it and now you want to destroy it?" Zarya asks.
"Precisely, only a Mysticon can unite the codex." An astromancer said.
"And only the rays of the crystal archipelago are strong enough to destroy it." Another said.
"So, you used us?" Ryou narrows his eyes before. "What if we refuse to help you?"
"Such insolence. What kind of ill-mannered creature raised you?" Nova Terron glares.
"That would be me." Everyone looks to see Dante walking in surprising the Astromancers.
"Dante Vale, what are you doing here?" Nova Terron glares walking up to you.
"Wow, after 15 years this is what you say? No, hey buddy good to see you? Or sorry we never sent you a rescue party because we were all too busy being ancient morons with your heads in the dirt!" Dante snaps.
"I'm starting see some resemblance." Em whispers.
"Yeah, he acts just like Ryou." Piper giggles.
"Did you at least finish that mission we gave you all those years ago?" Nova Terron asks.
"I did." Dante glares as the Astromancers walked past him.
"At least someone in this room knows how to follow orders. We leave within hour." Nova Terron said as they all left.
"15 years and that old guy is still a pain in the butt." Dante rolls his eyes and crosses his arms.
"No kidding." Ryou said mimicking him.
"Malvaron you have to stop them!" Arakayna begs.
"I know you're angry but if we destroy the codex Dreadbane can't free Necrafa." Malvaron said.
"What?! You agree with him? Without the codex I can't save my parents!" Arkayna said.
"Look Arkayna I—" Malvaron stutters/
"Forget it! I though we were friends." Arkayna said as they all walked out.
"What? When she sees I'm right, she'll apologize." Malvaron said as Sophie elbowed him.
"Arkayna and I may not see eye to eye on many things, but not even I would betray her like that." Sophie said.
"Pixie blast!" Piper said blasting Malvaron with pixie dust.
"We gotta find a way to get the Codex." Musa said.
"Well I might have a few ideas." Dante said getting their attention.
At Kymraw's junkyard, Kymraw knocked one of her orcs to the ground with ease as everyone cheered when Tazma, Nick and the Trix walked in.
"Mage? You dare fight Kymraw in fight pit?" Kymraw mocks.
"Why not? Are you scared?" Tazma taunts.
"Kymraw never afarid!" Kymraw swings her mace but Tazma didn't even move as she stops it with her magic making it disappear. "You show no fear. Kymraw respect that. What you want Tazma?" She narrows her eyes.
"My so-called Leader is weak. Dreadbane's incompetence will be his downfall but not mine. I have ambition. And I know what you want." Tazma said as Nick and Darcy kicked two chests full of gold towards her. "Work with me and I'll make you the richest troll in the world."
At the Astromancer's base, Nova Terron put the codex in a sphere.
"The codex is secure, you all with guard it until we reach the crystal archipelago." Nova Terron said looking at the Mysticons and Seekers.
"Why don't you throw in a please, you old fart?" Ryou glares.
"Yeah or better yet find someone else to do your grunt work for you." Zhalia glares as Nova Terron and the Astromancers walk away while Malvaron walks towards them.
"Look I know this is hard but as your friend—"
"Oh suddenly you're our friend again?" Zarya interrupts.
"You have to understand, we have to put the interest of the realm before ourselves." Malvaron explains.
"We? You're not the one losing your parents." Akrayna said.
"I can't imagine what that's like." Malvaron sighs.
"No, you can't but you know what bugs me the most? You chose to support the Astromancers over me." Arkayna glares.
"I took an oath." He explains.
"What about your oath to me? As a friend." Arkayna asks.
"Arkayna I'm your Solann." Malvaron said.
"Oh that's it! I never want to see you again! It's time!" Arkayna snaps.
"Clear the way, Cavalier!" Ryou said summoning his knight titan.
"Boltflare!" Sophie, Zhalia, Musa and Tecna fired Boltflare into the air setting some kind of signal.
"No, no no!" Malvaron gasps as Cavalier slams his flame swords into the ship creating a ring of fire around the Seekers, Mysticons and the codex.
"Unleash the Dragon!" Arkayna fires her bracer into the sky causing the dragon to come down on them.
Acting quickly Em creates a barrier which allows them to fly through the ship and drop down.
"Don't let them escape!" Nova Terron yells using his magic to grab Arkayna.
"Hey! Let go of me!" Arkayna yells.
"Sorry Big Nova." Malvaron said before blasting Nova Terron breaking his spell on Arkayna as he jumps overboard and they all land on the Pink Skulls ship.
"I gotcha." Dante said catching Arkayna while Kasey caught Malvaron.
"And I caught you, button loving groundling." He smirks.
"Aargh." Malvaron groans.
"Get us outta here Kitty." Zarya said.
"Let's fly some skies." Kitty said taking off.
"I can't believe your plan worked." Musa said looking at Dante.
"Who do you think taught Ryou?" Dante smirks.
"Did you guys get them?" Arkayna asks.
"It wasn't easy." Doug said pulling back a tarp to reveal the King and Queen statues.
"I can't believe the plan went off without a hitch." Piper said.
"I don't know, I think he technically counts as a hitch." Techna said looking at Malvaron.
"I saved you guys." Malvaron said.
"Yeah well the plank is that way." Zarya points.
"Walk it walk it." Doug chants.
"Guys I was a jerk but I want to help, that barrier can only be open by an Astromancer." Malvaron explains.
"Oh yeah?" Arkayna tries blasting it open only to see it failed.
Malvaron held up his hand and the barrier instantly went down. "We good?"
"All I wanted was a chance to save my parents before we destroyed it." Arkayna explains.
"And we will." Malvaron said.
"Set a course of the Crystal Archipelago!" Kitty declares.
"Wow, so Dreadbane really did this?" Dante asks walking up the statues.
"Yeah." Ryou nods.
"That bag of bones really loves breaking families apart." Dante sighs.
"So wait, what's the deal with you and Ryou? How do you know him so well?" Zarya asks as everyone looks to him.
"Easy, I'm Ryou's dad." Dante smiles surprising everyone. "I raised Ryou since he was a little baby."
"But wait, your last name is Vale, Ryou is Nightwalker." Piper points out causing Dante to chuckle.
"So you remembered that name instead of your real last name." Dante smiles. "Your real name is Ryou Vale."
"But what happened to me? What kind of person was I before I lost my memories?" Ryou asks.
"It's a long story." Dante said.
"We got time." Em said.
On the Astromancers ship, Nova Terron was struggling to get it under control.
"What is taking so long?! We need to repair the ship to go after them!" Nova Terron said.
"We're trying sir." One walks up to the controls but ended up getting zapped.
"Step aside mage." Another tried but failed as well.
"Perhaps I can try." A girl said walking up. With glowing hands she took off her hood to reveal a teenage girl with short hair and glasses.
"At least I'm not surrounded by complete buffons." Nova Terron said as she fixed the controls. "What's your name, mage?"
"Proxima, Proxima Starfall." She smiles.
"Good work Proxima, now after those Mysticons." Nova Terron declares as the ship chased after them.
On the Pink Skulls Ship, Dante looks over to see Arkayna and Malvaron figuring out the spell.
"Anyone else interested in hearing this story?" Dante asks and almost instantly everyone got comfy.
"Well it all starts when Ryou was born, he and I traveled the world finding titans and stopping evil. We were an amazing father and son duo." Dante smiles. "At a young age you had such talent for being a Seeker. You were a natural."
"So how did Ryou lose his memories?" Sophie asks.
"To understand that I need to tell you all another story first. You see while Dreadbane was busy waiting to get Necrafa free there was another organization, the Blood Spirals." Dante said causing Sophie to gasp.
"I read about them, they were a group of corrupted Seekers that served under Necrafa." Sophie recalls.
"And their leader was a guy named Rassimov and he was vicious. He and I were constantly battling each other as we searched the realm for the Amulet of Will." Dante said getting their attention. "Ryou was only 10, but when we arrived in the desert kingdom of Alibaba, we found the amulet."
"What is the Amulet of Will?" Piper asks.
"It's a special amulet that could let you control some of the most powerful titans to ever exist." Zhalia said.
"Well this just got interesting. What happened?" Kitty asks.
Flashback:
In the middle of the desert on the outskirts of what had to be the scariest caves in the world was the kingdom of Alibaba.
As the sun was setting, we find ourselves in a tomb with Dante and a short man with white hair.
"Are you sure we should be here? These are Sacred Tombs." The man said.
"I'm sure your majesty. The world as we know it could be in danger if I don't find this amulet." Dante said taking out an amulet. "Red Searcher!" From the amulet, a small red titan with one eye and wings flew around allowing Dante and the King to avoid the traps.
Making their way to the center of the tomb the casket of the first King of Alibaba. On his casket was a stone carving with a red amulet on top of it.
Bending down the King pulls it out before handing it to Dante.
"Thank you for all your help." Dante smiles.
"We better get out of here." The King nods.
As night came, Dante and the King arrived back in the town where the normally bustling with life streets were abandoned.
"Is today a holiday or something?" Dante asks.
"No, something's not right." The King said.
"Dante Vale, it's about time you showed up to the party." Looking in front of them they saw a man with black hair and yellow eyes dressed in black.
"Rassimov." Dante growls.
"What have you done?" The King asks.
"We grew tired of waiting so we gathered up the town for a little party." Rassimov gestures to a man and woman dressed in crimson. These were Shauna and Wind.
Around all of them were Blood Spiral minions who had the citizens of Alibaba gathered around them as a black ship was in the sky above.
"Look, they even brought a gift." Shauna smirks pointing to the Amulet of Will in Dante's hand.
"You have a choice Dante, give me the amulet or your friend will be a king in a kingdom without any citizens to rule." Rassmiov smirks.
"Dante." The King gasps turning to his friend who had a conflicted look on his face.
Little did they know two figures were climbing into a small ship, one was a 10-year-old Ryou whose hair was short and was wearing a blue shirt and black pants. Next to him was a girl with black hair dressed in blue, this was Princess of Alibaba.
"Are you sure about this?" She asks.
"Trust me." Ryou nods before Kipperin's amulet glowed.
"Alright Rassimov you win." Dante said walking to the town center and placing the amulet down and walking back with his hands up in surrender.
Rassimov grins as he walked to pick up the amulet but before he could he heard a noise.
"Hey Rassimov!" He looks up to see Ryou fly in and ram him to the ground before grabbing the amulet and flying up into the sky.
"Ryou?!" Dante and the King gasp as Ryou floated in the sky above all the Blood Spiral.
"Looks like it's just me against all of you now! You guys surrender to me now and I'll let you live! Simple. I will let you live!" Ryou declares.
Flashback end:
"You threatened the leader of the Blood Spirals and declared you will take on all of his men at once?" Tecna asks.
"That's beyond insane." Musa said.
"How are you alive?" Em asks in shock as everyone looked at Ryou.
"We all looked up and saw in the middle of the sky Ryou standing there like, like you were able to walk on the night sky. And from that day you earned a name that would haunt Rassimov for the rest of his life…Ryou Nightwalker." Dante declared.
"So that's how you got that name." Kasey said impressed.
"Dang Ryou, who knew you were such a rebel." Zarya teases.
"What happened next?" Piper asks excited.
"Rassimov was a feared man but when he saw this young boy mocking him and his power he and all his men boarded their ship and they chased Ryou out of the city knowing that when they caught him Rassimov would run his knife along Ryou's neck and when he was dead Rassimov would finally take the Seeker Artifact he wanted for so long." Dante said as everyone leaned in with anticipation. "But he didn't count on Ryou leading him to the Devil's Caverns." He smirks.
Flashback:
The small speed ship was racing across the sand dunes with the Blood Spiral's ship hot on their tail as they were approaching the Devil's Caverns.
"Follow him in!" Rassimov orders as the Blood Spiral members were firing spell after spell at the boat hoping to hit them.
"Finish them off, Raijin the Thunderbolt!" Ryou yells holding out an amulet and from it, a blue-skinned elf in armor was riding along a bolt of lighting swinging his sword deflecting all attacks fired at them.
"We're getting closer!" The princess yells.
"Just keep going!" Ryou yells grabbing a large amount of rope. "Let your aim be true, Arawn the Hunter!" Appearing next to Ryou was a titan dressed in green with a quiver of arrows and a longbow.
Ryou handed Arawn the rope and he tied to his bow. "Fire now!" Ryou points as Arwan fired the ropes making them tie around the rocks to the side. "Boltflare!" Throwing a red ball, it flew into the Devil's Caverns making the caverns suddenly glow blood red. "Turn now!"
The princess spun the wheel with all her might as she and Ryou nearly fell overboard as the speedship made a sharp U-Turn along the rocks as the Blood Spiral Ship headed straight for the caverns.
"No! Turn the ship!" Rassimov yells as he ran to the wheel to go after them but the turn was too sharp for him and as he looked over he saw Ryou spinning the Amulet of Will in his hand with a big smirk on his face causing Rassimov's eyes to widen as he realized the little boy had tricked him. "Curse you Ryou Nightwalker!" Rassimov roars as his ship flew into the caverns and bright red light engulfed them creating a giant explosion.
When Ryou and the Princess look inside they saw no sign of Rassmiov or any of the Blood Spiral.
Flashback End:
Everyone had their jaws on the floor in shock.
"Rassimov and the Blood Spiral never came out of those caverns, we got the Amulet of Will and Ryou Nightwalker was born." Dante finished.
"By the Hammer of Harmon." Em said in awe.
"Wow, I was awesome." Ryou said.
"You still are awesome." Piper and Zarya smile.
"I can't believe you pulled off a Bootleg turn like that. That's incredible." Kitty smiles.
"Ryou, wow. I didn't know you were so strong at such a young age." Arkayna said as she and Malvaron walked over.
"Yeah…neither did I." Ryou said.
"What happened to the Amulet of Will?" Musa asks.
"Unfortunately, neither Ryou or I have it." Dante sighs causing them to gasp.
"You lost it?!" Zhalia snaps grabbing Dante by the jacket. "The most valuable Seeker Object in the realm and you two lost it!" Zhalia shakes him.
"I didn't say that." Dante said as Ryou ran over.
"Zhalia let go." Ryou said as Dante caught his breath.
"Ryou and I ended up with huge targets on our backs because of that incident so to keep it from getting stolen we hid someplace no one would ever look." Dante explains.
"So what happened to those two titans I had?" Ryou asks as Dante smirks and digs into his jacket before pulling the two amulets out.
"Arawn the Hunter and Raijin the Thunderbolt." Dante said placing them both in Ryou's hands. "I had to hold onto them because if you walked around with so many titans with no memories it could be trouble for you."
"H-How did I lose my memories?" Ryou asks as Dante frowns.
"It was all my fault. We were worn out and I messed up." Dante admits.
"What happened?" Malvaron asks.
"You see after Ryou beat Rassimov the Spectral Hand decided to come after us. For three years Ryou and I were able to be one step ahead of us until that rainy night in the Undercity." Dante said.
Flashback:
As the rain poured on the streets of the Undercity an explosion went off in the alleys.
Running out of it Ryou and Dante were worn out and panting heavily.
"Dad, it's been 3 days since we last rested. I got no strength." Ryou pants.
"Just stall for 5 more minutes while I charge up enough to cast a strong enough Simple Mind." Dante pants.
Moving out of the shadows a dozen skeleton soldiers emerged led by General Tibion.
"Seize them!" Tibion yells as they moved in.
"I really hate you stupid boneheads." Ryou grabs a metal pole off the ground and charged swinging the pole whacking them all away while Dante charged up his magic.
Ryou whacks three skeleton soldiers away before clashing with General Tibion who blocks with his shield.
"You guys just don't know when to quit! Dragonfist!" With a glowing fist Ryou punches Tibion knocking him back.
"Ryou now! Simple Mind!" Dante casted the spell creating a bright light that flew towards Tibion and his soliders but at the last second they all raised their shields causing the spell to rebound and slam right into Ryou knocking him to the ground. "NOOO!"
"He's down! Get him!"
"Get away from him! Hyperstride!" Using the last of his energy, Dante grabbed Ryou and leaped a few streets over with the skeletons not far behind.
Dante was moving as quick as he could with a barely conscious Ryou laying on his back.
Behind them, Dante heard multiple footsteps heading in their direction.
"I can't outrun them all, not with Ryou like this." Dante mumbles
Looking around frantically, Dante looked down an alley at a big pile of trash bags.
"I'm sorry Ryou." Dante walks down the alley and places Ryou among the garbage leaving only his Kipperin amulet with him. "Ryou I love so much which is why I'm glad you won't remember what I'm about to do. Stay safe." Placing the last garbage bag over him Dante ran out and saw the skeletons soldiers nearby. "Hey! Come and get me you boneheads!" Dante yells.
Running as fast as he could the skeleton soldiers chased after him completely missing Ryou.
Flashback End:
"My Simple Mind attack backfired and you ended losing your memories. If they captured you they would have tortured you for information and since you had no memory you wouldn't know, but they wouldn't believe you and they would have tortured you until you dropped dead from all the pain." Dante explained.
"Oh my goblin." Arkayna gasps covering her mouth.
"You let yourself get captured and gave up your freedom so…I could have mine." Ryou realized.
"Knowing you were safe was the only thing that kept me fighting through all those years of pain and suffering." Dante admits.
"D-Dad." Ryou said as he hugged Dante before he hugged him back.
"So, what exactly did happen after? And does it explain why everyone thinks you're a Mysticon?" Dante asks.
"You can thank Zarya, Piper and Choko." Ryou smiles. "These 3 found me and took me in. Made me a part of all this."
"Well then." Dante grabs the three of them and pulled them into a group hug. "Thank you for taking care of my son."
"Our pleasure." Piper smiles hugging back.
"Ryou is one of us." Zarya smiles as Choko chirps in agreement.
"So were you two able to find a way to save your parents?" Sophie asks.
"Yes, but we have to get it ready before dawn, it's gonna take awhile and we need a lot of sigils." Arkayna said.
"Then you two better get started." Ryou said.
"By tomorrow morning, my parents will be free." Arkayna smiles.
As Arkayna and Malvaron went to work everyone moved to different areas of the shift.
"Hey dad." Ryou said getting Dante's attention. "You told me about our adventures but what happened to my mom? I mean I had one right?"
"You did…but she left a long time ago." Dante said looking away.
"Well…at least I have you back in my life now." Ryou smiles.
"And I'm never leaving you again, kiddo." Dante ruffles Ryou's head.
As they traveled, Em and Kasey really seemed to hit it off, but for real, Dante was giving tips to Sophie, Zhalia, Musa and Tecna and Kitty was showing Ryou some ship controls.
Night came and while Arkayna and Malvaron continued making sigils almost everyone was asleep.
Laying on the deck, Sophie was sleeping when the movement from the ship caused her to roll over and hit her head against a barrel. "Ow." Sophie groans holding her head in pain.
Sitting up she looked around and saw Ryou leaning against the edge of the ship looking out at the sky.
"What are you still doing up?" Sophie asks walking over and leaning on the rails next to him.
"Sorry just, today I found out so many answers about who I am it's a little overwhelming." Ryou admits.
"I bet, you found your father, learned what happened to you, we even found out you took down an evil group all by yourself. Pretty good day if you ask me." Sophie smiles.
"Yeah it really was. Hey how pissed do you think Nova Terron is gonna be when he catches up?" Ryou asks.
"Let's hope not too much." Sophie said as Ryou pulled down his hood and smiles.
"Hey thanks for helping me become a Seeker." Ryou said.
"You already were a Seeker, I just helped remind you." Sophie smiles.
Ryou looks into Sophie's eyes and as she looked into his calming smile Doug suddenly came over.
"Guys! Crystal Archipelago ahead!" Doug points getting their attention as everyone woke up.
"The sun's almost up, we have one shot at this." Malvaron said.
"Good luck." Zarya said as all the Mysticons hugged Arkayna.
"Cross your fingers." Doug said as Choko chirped curling up into a ball.
"Okay let's do this." Arkayna said as Malvaron held out the codex.
"Tome of wisdom, codex so pure." Malvaron chants.
"Grant us the power, give us the cure." Arkayna chants as the codex glows.
"Turn bone back to flesh, undo Dreadbane's spite." Malvaron chants.
"By light of dawn set everthing right." Arkayna chants as the sun rose causing her parents to crack. "It's working."
Suddenly they happy moment was ruined by a loud noise.
"We got incoming! There!" Kasey points.
"Nova wants to rumble!" Zarya assumes.
"I spy with my elven eyes…oh my goblin! It's not Nova! It's Tazma, Kymraw and the Trix!" Piper gasps.
"No, they can't interfere." Arkayna said.
"They won't. It's Orc Bash time!" Zarya said as she, Em and Piper climbed on their griffins and Orc Bash music turned on.
"Finish them off, Raijin the Thunderbolt!" Ryou calls out his old titan and hops on the lightning bolt with it.
"Ready the cannons!" Kitty orders.
"Cannons ready!" Kasey calls out.
"Open fire!" Kitty yells as the cannons shot towards them.
"Roadragers attack!" Kymraw orders.
"Cover them, Icarus!" Sophie yells.
"Soulwing assist them!" Tecna yells.
"Lunar, Solar heed my call!" Musa yells calling out her twin titans.
"'Caliban!" Dante pulls out his own Caliban but unlike Ryou's his was different. It had gold armor, longer hair and an energy blade.
"Whoa, that looks nothing like Ryou's." Doug said.
"That's because mine has been with me for much longer and has power bonded with me." Dante smirks.
As Icy, Stormy and Darcy flew in first the Seekers were ready. "Hyperstride!" Running up onto the sails of the ship they faced off.
"So working for the girl now?" Zhalia asks.
"She offered us an offer we couldn't refuse. You!" Icy yells as they attacked.
Flying towards the orcs, Choko leaps at one covering his eyes as he crashed into another orc before Choko landed back on Zarya's shoulder. "Good work Choko!"
As Zarya, Em and Piper fought of the orcs, Ryou was slashing them alongside Raijin when suddenly Fireblade leaped out and clashes swords with Raijin as Ryou found himself face to face with Nick on a motorbike who had a sword in his hand.
"Care for a rematch? Mysticon Tactician?" Nick asks.
"For you Nick, it won't be much of a match." Ryou growls drawing his swords as the two of them clash swords causing lighting and fire to shoot out.
As the sun rose the stone cracked to the point Queen Goodfey could breathe. "A-Arkayna?"
"Mom." She smiles when Tazma and Kymraw got closer.
"Hyperstride!" Dante and power-bonded Caliban leap off the ship and kicks two roadragers off their bikes before attacking the others.
"There's the Dragon Mage! Bring me the codex!" Tazma orders as dawn came and the rays from the crystals formed.
"We don't have enough time! We need to destroy the codex now!" Malavaron said.
"No! Not yet!" Arkayna refuses.
"You know what you have to do." Queen Goodfey said.
"I don't know if I can." Arkayna admits.
"I love you Arkayna." She said.
"I love you too mom." Arkayna sobs before stopping the spell turning them back to bone. "Cover me!"
"You got it!" Malvaron said as Arkayna ran to her griffin and flew to the crystals.
"Pink Skulls attack!" Kitty yells flicking her whip around Stormy's leg and yanks her down.
"Oh you're gonna pay for that." Stormy growls.
"Bring it on." Kitty glares flicking her whip at Stormy again and again but Stormy dodges and kicks Kitty in the chest.
"Augerfrost!" Stormy fires a blue blast but Kitty sweeps her leg making Stormy fall on the deck before tackling her.
In the skies nearby Ryou and Nick were clashing again and again. Flying in Nick kicks Ryou in the gut sending him falling towards the water.
"Kipperin!" Ryou said as his flying titan appeared allowing him to fly back up towards Nick. "Come and get me reject!"
"Get back here!" Nick roars as Ryou flew towards the ship with him chasing after him.
"Kitty! Whip!" Ryou yells.
Looking up Kitty threw Ryou her whip which he flicks wrapping around the mast as she watched in as he swings around the mast making a huge U-turn like he did with Rassimov and kicks Nick off his bike and into the sea.
"The Bootleg turn!" Kitty smiles. "He is a pirate!"
As Arkayna rushed towards the crystals Tazma was on her tail.
"Arkayna needs some help!" Em said.
"So do Kitty and the others!" Zarya points to the ship.
"I'm on it! Time to armor up!" Em throws her armor and jumps onto the ship whacking orcs left and right when Kymraw flew in.
"It's rammer time!" Kymraw said ramming her bike into Em knocking her to the ground.
She readied her mace to squash Em when Kasey swung his sword. "Back off troll!"
"You cute. Give Kymraw a call if you survive." Kymraw gives him her number before kicking him overboard.
Up on the sails, Sophie and Tecna were facing Icy while Zhalia and Musa were battling Darcy and all four were fighting while trying to keep their balance.
Sophie leaps up and throws a kick at Icy who blocks before getting hit by Tecna. As she started to fall she grabbed the beam and did a backflip kicking Sophie to the edge before she regained her balance.
On the other sail, Darcy was firing blast after blast at Zhalia and Musa forcing them to the edge.
"Gotcha!" Darcy said when Garrion appeared in front of her and fired a beam knocking her onto the beam.
"You were saying?" Zhalia smirks.
"Faster Izzy faster!" Arkayna said as Tazma flew after her firing blast after blast.
"You can't run from me!" Tazma said when Dante rammed into her from the side.
"Who's running?" Dante glares.
"Why you!" Tazma yells.
"Now!" Dante yells as Power-Bonded Caliban threw Piper above Tazma making her gasp.
"Fly Phoenix, fly!" Piper yells blasting Tazma away.
"Thanks guys." Arkayna smiles as she ran to the core but just as she leaped up the Astromancers ship showed up and blocked her running the moment as the rays disappeared. "No!"
"The Dragon Mage!" Proxima points as Tazma steals the codex.
"It's mine." She grins when Kymraw blasted her.
"Wrong mage, it now Kymraw!" Kymraw said before flying off.
"Stop her!" Nova Terron ordered.
The Pink Skulls tried to follow Kymraw but the Astromancers ship rammed into them causing the statues of the King and Queen to fall into the sea.
"The Mysticons have doomed us all." Nova Terron states.
"We've lost…everything." Arkayna admits as they looked at the battlefield around them.
At Dreadbane's base, Kymraw walks in with the codex.
"You did well, troll." Dreadbane said.
"You know what Kymraw want, Dreadbane." Kymraw said as Dreadbane ordered 4 chests of gold to be brought in. "Tazma think she smart, but I smarter. Double cross means double pay. Later!" Kymraw tosses Dreadbane the codex and leaves.
"It's finally mine!" Dreadbane laughs as Tazma, Nick and the Trix sneak in. "We will finally be together at last, my Queen."
"No." Tazma gasps as Dreadbane uses the 4 codex pieces the portal opens and Necrafa emerges.
"It has been too long my Queen. I bow before you." Taking out her necklace, Dreadbane hands it to her.
"Yes Dreadbane, far too long." Necrafa said before blasting him to the ground.
"What?!" Dreadbane gasps in shock.
"You should have freed me sooner…before I created my own plan." Necrafa said.
Lifting Dreadbane into the air she threw him into the portal. "No! I love you!" Dreadbane yells.
"I love you not." Necrafa said as Dreadbane disappeared. "Only being has earned my love and I have to find it, first." Necrafa unifies the codex. "Fill me with your power!" The energy from the codex entered Necrafa making her glow red before throwing the codex into the portal as well.
"She's a monster." Nick whispers.
Tazma looks in shock as Necrafa looks to her necklace. "I must find him…my Dragon of Destruction."
