Here's the last chapter in the Yona of the Dawn theme. And I should've done more research on the characters. But it's too late but either way I hold no regrets in doing this.
I've had a difficult time, my cat went missing, when she returned but looked banged up even her bone was sticking out. So I had to...put her down :'(. But she's in a better place, she crossed the rainbow bridge to animal heaven.
On the beach near the shores, of Avalon. As the crew were reading to set sail back to the Kouka Kingdom, Nemo asks his sonar officer: "How's the ship? Will she survive the same route?" The sonar officers answers regarding the ship: "The wood from the haul held, but the speed and water pressure did a number of damage." Nemo understood this and replies: "Repair and strengthen the haul. Reinforce it with steel and iron." The sonar officer nods yes and says: "Yes Captain."
Nemo turns to his right shoulder, to see Hak the Lighting Beast returning. He stops in front of the Captain, who walks up to him and asks: "Did you find the reason why you fight?" The Lighting Beast answers to the Captain's question: "Yes. I fought for the Kouka kingdom to become something great. Not as an empire but as a symbol. King Ill was a lot of things but a fool wasn't one of them. To be honest I always wanted to leave the military to become Kouka kingdom's greatest outlaw before this whole journey began." He said many years prier to the event.
Nemo states to Hak wanting to be an outlaw: "In a way you are Kouka kingdom outlaw." This gain Hak's attention. "If men like Soo-Won and those who took advantage of King Ill. All so they can rob him of the power they took represent the law, than it's better to be an outlaw." Hak smirked at that idea, and felt it's time to return to the Kouka kingdom so to help speed up repairs he joins to help, fix the ship.
Back at the Port city of Awa, surrounding a camp fire, the M9 and Crystal Gems are discussing wether or not this kingdom's worth saving. Steven speaks first to start the debate: "We can all agree on this; What the people did trying to hang Yona was bad to say the least." Dipper bluntly replies: "They tried to hang out of anger for what her father did or didn't." San angrily says in agreement to Dipper: "Dipper's right. These people are no better than rabid dogs. If you ask me we should leave this place and let them drown in their own blood for their own crimes." She said with a hint of anger in her voice.
Mabel disagrees with her twin and Japanese friend: "I understand you two are mad. But we can't just abandoned them. They let their anger get the best of them and cloud their reasoning." Connie adds in agreement with Mabel: "That's true. Plus if we do that than we're no better than the people who purposely abuse these people." Marco questions the sanity: "While that's true. But these people were willing going to kill Yona over the mistakes of what her father made." Lapis Lazuli says: "While Yona takes responsibility. But that doesn't mean she deserve to die." Ashitaka agrees with Lapis: "That's true. But if the king knew about the corruption, than maybe he could've found a way to stop it. But instead of telling him, Soo-Won murdered him. But taken into account his brother wouldn't fair any better. He would've been a even bigger threat than the corruption than is now." He pointed out the pros and cons behind this.
Pearl agreeing with Ashitaka: "Ashitaka is right. Many kings, emperors, and other leaders throughout history who've been given power there were three pathways they taken. One they would use the power to lead their lands into peace and prosperity. The second pathway they hardly used it and let the lands run by itself. And in doing so this lead to corruption for without leadership there will be those who take advantage of a situation and this allows illness, and death to spread as well. And finally the third and final pathway is the tyrannical reign. Power does have the ability to corrupt absolutely. This means a leader who uses them for his own advantage and doesn't care what happens to them. He can even execute them for smallest of crimes." She states what power has the abilities but who wields depend on the person.
Peridot says: "Logic states that either the previous king Ill or his brother wouldn't have been suitable subjects for leadership. But Soo-Won is somewhat reasonable but now that suitable subject is Yona. She has seen the outside world, beyond her palace. And developed skills, abilities, knowledge, and wisdom she'd never learn at the palace." Bismuth agreeing with Peridot: "Tiny's right. Besides the only way that pretty boy would've been king if he'd married his cousin."
The group still disturbed by that idea, even shivered at it. "Yeah, I don't like it either." Jean finishes the debate: "If there's one thing I've learned from my country's history. Sooner or later there's going to be a revolution. Which means the political leaders will be executed. But with Yona leading the rebellion she'll regain the throne. She'll become this country's next leader." They all agree the pros and cons behind this kingdom's future.
They thought for a moment, until Nadia says breaking the silence: "I wish Star was here. If anyone who knows more about the struggles of royalty it's her, better than anyone of us." They all nod in agreement.
The Black Panther J'Kuo steps in and states his opinion: "It's true. These people have done a terrible crime. But they are no better than the leaders who lead the kingdom to this state. But the land cannot heal with more bloodshed. And believe it or not, this isn't the first time this kingdom became like this. There has been generations that were either neglecting, or abusing their power. So only way to end the cycle is if Yona retakes the throne." They thought about it, and knew it be true. Violence won't solve every problem but there are times to stand up against those who are oppressed.
Yona walks towards the Four Dragon Warriors, she told them earlier she'll speak with the rebellion. Yoon asks Yona: "Hey Yona are you sure you want to help the rebellion? They tried to kill you?" Yona replies: "Yes. No matter what they did, true their anger clouded their judgement. But, I won't abandoned them." As she walks towards them, the Dragon Warriors who are discussing about the princess' decisions. The Golden Dragon Warrior Zeno points out Yona's loyalty to her people: "This Princess does it right. Her heart is in the right place, and does wish to see this kingdom return to it's former glory if not greater." Jae-Ha the Green Dragon Warrior says regarding the princess' choice: "If there's one thing we've learned about Yona; Once she get's an idea or determination in her head. Come hell or high water not even that will stop her." He said with a small smile knowing Yona well enough since she's willing to lay down her own life for others.
The Blue Dragon Warrior simply nods in agreement knowing the Princess isn't abandoning her people regardless of what they did. The White Dragon Warrior also agrees even though he still holds anger for what people tried to do her. Yona walks up and says to the Dragon Warriors: "Hey guys. What are you talking about?" Jae-Ha Answers: "We were discussing on why you refused to leave the Kingdom." Yona replies to the Green Dragon Warrior: "I know your concern, but the people are only in this state because of my father's reign and those who abused their power leading into poverty. But my father loved this kingdom and it's people, and sacrificed much for peace, and I will never let his name or legacy be destroyed." While the four Dragon Warriors understood the reasons behind why she fights for her kingdom, then Captain Gi-Gon walks up with her crew. Yona turns around and says the Captain's name: "Captain Gi-Gon."
The Captain blows out smoke from her pipe then says: "You know Yona, I've had my suspicions when you came aboard my ship. You had eyes of a girl who grew up without a care in the world. Now finally it all adds up." Yona was at first scared, until the Captain started laughing which surprised everyone except the crew who joins the laughter. "Hahaha! If you told me years ago, you were a princess, I would've laughed as hard as I am now. Seriously you've pulled the wool over my eyes." She still laughs while coughing a little.
Kaji questions: "So you're not mad?" The Captain answers: "Of course not. After everything we've been through, and all you've endured. I mean you killed Yang Kam-Ji with an arrow to the heart. If you ask me, you're still part of my crew you dumb-ass." Yona softly smiles, then the women who Yona helped save from becoming human traffick. One of the woman says: "At first when you said you were princess Yona, I was upset but, you did fought for us, our home and freedom against Yang Kum-Ji. If you ask me, you're more qualified to lead us, than and no offense but your father. And you are more worthy than Soo-Won."
Yona took in what the woman said and she knows it and believe it. Then the whole White Dragon Warrior clan and Wind clan walks up to Yona. Granny the village elder of the White Dragon Warrior clan says: "Princess, despite what has happened to you. You've grown stronger and wiser than your years. And with those traits you will lead this kingdom into a new golden age. We've waited for the day for the return of the Crimson Dragon King. We will join you in both the fight and the rebirth of this kingdom's freedom." The Wind Clan's leader kneels before Yona as does the whole clan, Tae-Woo says: "Princess Yona, you are the rightful heir to this kingdom. We will follow you into the jaws of hell itself."
Yona began to tears up seeing those who still choose to aid her. Then the rebel soldiers both current and the people who tried to hang her came to share their feeling sorry for their actions. They all hung their heads in guilt and shame. One of the villagers says: "Hu...princess, we just want to say we're sorry for trying to hang you." Another villager says: "Yes, we were fools. We were blinded by anger and hatred for your father. But that's no excuse for our actions. All we asks is forgiveness." The people kneels to Yona trying to earn her forgiveness.
Yona says to everyone: "I appreciate those who stood beside me. And I forgive those who tried to hang me. But even though I am the princess of this kingdom and rightful heir, the power doesn't belong to me or to one person or a small group of individuals. It belongs to all, you the people of this land. And when I retake the throne, I will give the power back to the people. And with that you will make sure those who stole it will never rise to take what it yours ever again." The people rose up, Yoon asks Yona with a smile: "Did you write that down or was that at the top of your head?" The people found a new sense of hope and will join Yona once again this time not just for her but for the kingdom itself.
The next evening the people of the rebellion resumed their training. As Yona watched, Hak returned and sees the crimson haired woman and says: "I've been gone for almost a week and the rebellion's back on track." Yona rushes to hugs Hak, then asks: "Where have you been?" The Lighting Beast answers: "I had a bit enlightenment. And it seems I wasn't the only one." The Princess and Lighting Beast watched the rebels grow stronger, Yona smiled but it soon faded, she asks Hak: "Hey Hak?" He turns to Yona and replies: "Yes princess?"
Yona asks again: "When we started the journey did ever had any regrets?" Hak answers: "My regret was unable to protect King Ill." He said with remorse in his voice. "Why do you asks?" The Princess answers: "Because on the day of my 16th birthday, I called my father a coward. I wish I could meet him one last time, just to take back what I said and apologize." The Lighting Beast responds to the Princess' words: "Princess, we all have regrets sayings to people we wish to take it back what we said to them. But we can't change the past or talk to the dead."
Yona understood that, but then J'Kuo over hears them and walks up to the two and says otherwise: "Actually, there might be a way for you to speak to your father." Yona replies to J'Kuo: "But my father's dead. How can I speak to him?" The Black Panther answers: "The heart-shaped-herb not only grants the power of the Black Panther, not only do it enhanced us physically it can, also help you visit the spirit realm." The Crimson hair princess found this interesting so she goes along with it if it means she'll see her father again.
That night Yona is surrounded by the four Dragon Warriors, the young genius, the Lighting Beast, the M9 and the Black Panther. She was wearing short pants along with bandages wrapping her chest to cover her breasts. Yona questions the outfit: "Uh, J'Kuo why am I wearing this lack of clothing?" J'Kuo states the reasoning: "For the ritual to begin you need without much clothing as in bare flesh and you will be covered in soil. And you must drink the tea made from the herb." He takes herb and crushes it into a juice. He gives to her, she drinks it, she lays down on the pile of dirt. J'Kuo says to everyone as they cover Yona in the dirt: "Now everyone repeat the chanting as I do." Yoon questions the method: "Hu Black Panther, no offense, but how does this help Yona enter the spirit world?" The Panther king answers: "Every culture has a different version of entering the after life. But this practice we Wakandians have been using for centuries. So let us begin the ceremony." He begins to chant, the group follows as best as they could. They covered Yona, she was covered in her whole body even her face.
Yona rises up from the dirt, but she was fully clothed. She looks at herself she is wearing robes that almost looks like the same robes she would've worn at the palace. Her hair was fully long like she never cut it. She now looks up at her surroundings, the sky was purple instead of blue, and what look like the Himalayan mountains. And sees Chinese Dragons all over the place, some are flying some are just laying on the mountains, and some on the ground.
One of which floats towards the crimson haired princess, who was at first frighten, but she didn't show fear. The Dragon stood before her, and with a small flash of light the Dragon turns into King Ill. He was a chubby man who has a gentle appearance. He has a pair of black headgear with a red and yellow design pattern, and two extended cords that have yellow tassels hanging on each of them. He also has a short black mustache.
He dons a maroon overcoat with his violet hemlines a top of his purple robe. This robe has red hemlines and covers white inner-wear. He also put on a necklace with beads in various colors and a golden circular pendant.
Yona begins to cry tears of joy as she hugs her father while saying: "Father!" He hugs her back while replying: "Yona, my daughter."
The dead king begins to tear up as well being a father who misses his child. Yona says to her father's spirit: "Father, I missed you. And I'm so sorry for calling you a coward, and I'm so sorry for a lot of..." King Ill interrupts: "It's alright Yona. I'm here." He rubs her back, then they separate the hug to talk face-to-face. Yona whips away her tears and says: "Father if you been watching me, you saw what I had to do." Ill says to his daughter in understanding: "I know, how could I not see the corruption? If only I was a stronger king." Yona says to her father: "No, your heart was in the right place. You've sacrificed so much for the sake of peace." The king's spirit nods to his daughter in responds. "And you believed in the Crimson Dragon God. You did what you thought was right thing, and you never believed in violence to solve all problems. The poverty was made by the people who took advantage of you. Those people are the ones who took power not just from you but from innocent people themselves." She stated knowing who are to blame even if he was responsible but person is responsible for their own actions.
The Fallen King says to his daughter once more: "And you killed Yang Kum-Ji. While I don't approve. You did the right thing." The two understood each other what each actions what was more impotent was the right thing instead of the easy way. Soon the King and Princess were surrounded by other members of the royal family. There were her grandparents, her mother, and many other ancestors including the first Crimson Dragon King/God.
Yona was surprised to see them all, generations of her kingdom's previous leaders who came before. Yona asks her ancestors: "Why are you all here?" The Grandfather of Yona answers: "We wish to see the rightful heir and reincarnation of the Crimson Dragon King. My own granddaughter, I wish I knew you in life, but being kings we do not live long enough to see our grandchildren." They nodded in agreement, the First Crimson Dragon King says: "Yes. For a long time I've watched my descendants from Heaven. And those who ruled over the kingdom long after my mortal body turned to dust. I have seen many reigns, some good some bad. And there were many of my descendants not just in the palace but all over the world. Even in the neighboring kingdoms. But you my direct descendant/reincarnation. You will be the one who will cleanse the sins of our family." She was happy seeing many of her relatives and was tasked not only save the kingdom, or her people, but her family's name and honor.
She then feels a presence, she turns around to see her uncle Yu-Hon. Yu-Hon has a beard and mustache with his hair tied into a bun. He wears a traditional Chinese robe, the appearance to be maroon with gold lines and dragons on them. Yona looks at her uncle with a glare. And behind him are some other members of not her family's bloodline but of the four clan members who've also done wrong in their lifetimes.
Yona asks her uncle while still showing the glare: "Uncle Yu-Hon, I've made many new friends and they found a recored of your actions. My friends told me what you did. You've done horrible crimes." She said softly at first holding in her anger.
She continued: "You decapitated prisoners of war both soldier and civilian alike. I need to know; why?" Yu-Hon replies simply saying: "The ends justified the means." Yona repeats her uncle's words: "'The ends justifies the means'? Does that same justified the burning of a sacred temple?" Then a woman's voice says: "He also tried to destroy a secret. Another descendant of the Crimson Dragon King."
They turn to see a woman, who places her right hand on Yona's left cheek. Yona felt something, a feeling like a mother's love. But Yona's mother died when she was very young, she couldn't have known it. The Crimson hair princess asks the woman: "Who are you?" The woman answers the question: "My name is Kashi. And I'm your mother." Yona was shocked and says: "Mother?" She looked into the woman's eyes believes it.
Kashi's appearance; She has flowing black hair she use to have freckles and short in stature. She was training to be a priestess, to serve in a shrine. She had severe burns on the left side of her which she covered by her long hair. She wore a purple robe with silver dots in the fabric. Kashi continues to explain: "When I was an apprentice for the shrine, he discovered I was a descendent of the Crimson Dragon King. So he tried to cover it up and he destroyed the sacred shrine, that's how I got this scar." She reveals her scars on her face.
Yona turns back to her uncle still showing signs of anger towards him. She asks him: "Why? Why did you burn down a sacred shrine? Why didn't you accept the Crimson Dragon God as a real deity? Or why didn't you show mercy to the prisoners, and heed the oracles warnings?" The General's spirit answers: "The reasons why; why should we pay homage to a god we can't see or hear? King's shouldn't listen to the words of weak men who tell us about some invisible god. The age of gods are over, it was time for the age of man." He said with a stoke expression, explaining his reasons.
Yona clenches her fists tightly, her anger was now at the boiling point, her uncle did horrible things in his life, his actions were beyond forgiveness or redemption. Yona spoke softy at first: "So decapitating prisoners of war, burning down a sacred temple, scaring my mother, banishing the priests and oracle all for your vision for our kingdom? All this pain, violence all justified the means? But you're wrong. ALL OF YOU ARE WRONG! You turned your backs on the world! You turned your backs on the Crimson Dragon God! I cannot rest, while Soo-Won sits on the throne." She spoke angrily at her uncle and past leaders who've done wrong in their lifetimes. She closes her eyes, to rewake.
In the physical world, Yona rises from the soil gasping for breath, J'Kuo says to the Princess: "Breathe, breathe." Yona says in happiness: "He was there. I saw him, I saw my father." Yoon questions: "Wait you're saying you actually saw King Ill?"
The Crimson hair princess says: "Yes, and I even say my whole family, my ancestors, my mother, even the first Crimson Dragon King." She was still catching her breathe a bit in the middle of sentence. "And I saw my uncle Yu-Hon. I told him he was wrong. He tried to justified his actions for the means, in the end. But no matter how he tried he, it would never be justifiable." They were shocked, the Green Dragon Warrior says: "I can't believe it. You traveled to the land of the dead." Yoon adds: "And you got to see both King Ill and first Crimson Dragon King." Hak also adds: "That's amazing." Steven says to Yona regarding her what she said to her uncle: "Wow, looks like you got to speak your mind against your uncle's past actions." Ashitaka finishes: "People often tried to justify their misguided actions but no matter he looked at it, will never be true."
The Black Panther held a cup of liquid, and says to Yona: "Princess this tea will remove the heart-shape-hearb's powers." He offers it to her, but she declines the offer and says: "No, at least not yet. For the time being I'm going to need all the help I can get." Dipper questions: "Are you sure?" San agreeing with Dipper: "He's right. The Wakandians have had this heart-shaped-herb for generations and a lifetime to harness the power. Their senses and abilities are increased but it took a long time control it." Yona understanding the situation: "I know, and these powers could kill me. But if these abilities can help my kingdom and people. Than I must use them." The group understood the reasons, so the decided to let her go with these powers for now.
J'Kuo says to Yona again: "If you insist to use these powers. We'll have to train for 3 days. For on the fourth day, that's when we'll strike at the palace. From what our spies told us, Soo-Won will begin his war." The Crimson hair princess now realized time is no longer on their side. So her training begins tomorrow morning.
The next morning Yona had breakfast to give her the energy she needs. The first practice she's starting to learn is to jump. Her first time she tried, she jumps 6ft in the air. Yona says in total surprise: "Woah! I wasn't even trying! How could I jump so high?" The Panther king explains: "The herb granted you superhuman abilities. Even if you were only using a small amount of your strength, your body use a much different amount. So you need to harness and control these powers. So again." She tries to jump again this time she jumps 6.5ft in the air, "Again." She jumps another time, this time she jumps 7ft in the air. It went like this for an hour until finally she jumps a normal hight. She pants, and turns the Black Panther nods in approval. He says to her: "Good. You masted how to control your jumping capabilities. Now on to the next part of your training."
The second part of her training begins with running practice. She has to race against Jae-Ha and San, for both were the fastest members in both crew and rebellion. Jae-Ha asks Yona: "Are you sure you wanna race us kiddo? I mean we're not going easy on you." Yona answers: "I'm not asking you to. I need to be able to run fast." San says to Yona: "If you need someone to teach you to run, than asking a man with a dragon's leg, and a woman raised by wolf spirits to train you."
They walk to the starting line, ready themselves the Crimson hair princess thought for a moment, with Jae-Ha's dragon leg and San being raised by wolves both have excellent speed and stamina, this will prove to be difficult.
When the race is about to began, Marco with a gun yells: "Ready! Set! Go!" He fires a gun into the air and the Green Dragon Warrior, and the Wolf Girl began to run, as the Princess tries to keep up. The two warriors were already ahead of the princess. They have to run a full mile, but as they reach the halfway point, the princess started to catch up she showed signs of sweat and being out of breath but refuses to give up. When they came close to the finish line they were all neck to neck, till finally crossing the line it was a three-way tie.
Yona catches her breath, San walks up panting and says: "I have to say...(pant)...that was pretty impressive. (Panting) You're fast. Maybe not have my speed, but close enough." Yona still catching her breath replies: "...Wow...Thank you." Jae-Ha saw the hidden ability inside Yona, she already had it and that heart-shaped-hurb just made it easy to come to the surface. He even found her more attractive (pervert).
Hak also watched as the Princess Yona grew stronger, she was no longer the privilege, helpless, dependent little girl/princess anymore. She grew and evolved beyond anything he's expected of her. She has the will of a warrior, the spirit of a dragon. It was unlike anything he's ever seen, and he's seen the Four Dragon Warriors of legend in action.
The next trial was the archery test, Yona can pull a bow but with the new strength, there's no telling what could happen. Yona pulls back on her bow with the strength of 10 men, she snapped the bow like it was a toothpick. The Princess says regarding her snapping the bow: "Woops."
Kaji questions: "What happened?" Marco says regarding Yona breaking her bow: "J'Kuo did say she'll have superhuman strength. I'm guessing the bow wasn't strong enough to hold." J'Kuo says in agreement: "That's true. I did say that." Hak finishes: "Because of her new strength she needs a bow made of stronger wood. But what kind of wood?" He questions what wood would be strong.
Jean asks: "Why not oak wood?" Marco agreeing: "Jean's right. Oak is one of the strongest wood. Luckily we have some." Yona says: "Until the wood is made into a new bow, we're going have to skip this, and go to the next training."
J'Kuo says to Yona regarding the next phase: "For this next lesson we need to wait till night. For your heightened sense." They waited till the sun went down and the moon rises high in the sky.
The Princess asks the Black Panther: "So what are my heightened senses?" J'Kuo answers: "With these senses you'll be able to see in the dark, smell a great distance and smells you didn't even know excited. You'll also hear even the smallest sounds. When I unleash you, use all your skills combined all at once." Yona knew now what her new found abilities were, so she begins with her training. She sat down in a mediative state as J'Kuo retreats into the darkness, leaving Yona alone.
The princess was now completely alone in the forest, she opens her violent color eyes, and through her new night vision eyes. She sees a deer, and a wild pig along with a small flock of birds. She can not only see them, but hears their heartbeats, even sees the vibrations of the heartbeats coming from the animals' bodies.
Yona now combined all the abilities she's learned and developed so far. She begins with running through the forest in a straight path, then she jumps onto a tree branch and jumps from one tree to the next. She moved with the speed and agility of a jungle cat, when she lands on the ground she speaks her mind: "This is amazing! I feel like a new person. Almost like a goddess!" Unknown to her The Black Panther hid, watching how'd she use her new powers. She said she'll keep only until she reclaims her kingdom and free its people. But now, he's starting to have doubts that she will give up her power willingly, whether they'll being used for good or not. But Yona looks at her hands and thinks of the power. "Even with this power, I feel like a goddess. But I am not. These powers aren't mine these powers come from Wakanda and as soon as I reclaim, the palaice these powers must go." The Black Panther's doubts was not at ease, she may have acted like she wasn't going to give them up, but she knew these powers weren't of her own. And when the time will come she will not cling to these gifts, she will give them away willingly. She has passed her test.
That night as the rebels slept as did the pirates and crew of the Odyssey and the M9, all except Ashitaka, the Running Elk. He spent the night carving the bow for Yona. The bow was made from oak wood, but he made it strong enough and thick enough to hold with that of ten men but it would take 15 men to break it. On the wood he wrote in Japanese and it reads 'Live with love and wisdom. Die with honor and justice'.
The next day Yona wakes up, she steps out of her room to find Ashitaka, who presents the bow to her. She takes the bow, looking the craftsmanship the beauty of the handcraft and the words written on them. Yona says to Ashitaka: "Thank you Ashitaka. It's beautiful." Ashitaka replies appreciating the compliment: "You're welcome, princess Yona." He bows in respect, she does as well.
When she gives it a try, at the targeting range she and her friends, stood there to watch her pull the bow. She starts with using of only the strength of 3 men. But it barely bend, she tries to pull with more strength till finally she pulls it back then fires at the target. When the arrow hits the target it explodes on impact like it was made of explosions.
The whole group was shocked to see this, even the Black Panther J'Kuo was shocked as if the panther's power was different in a woman's body structure. Hak says in total shock: "Wow! I may posses the strength of a few men myself. But not even I can do something like that." Kaji adds regarding his strength limits: "I can do that with my dragon arm. But how's this even possible?" Yoon comes up with a theory: "Well if I had to guess her body structure's is different than that of the male's body structure, most of the power comes directly from her legs." Jean adds in agreement: "You maybe right Yoon. You see the legs are stronger, they build for birth-giving, this means the muscle fiber's different than a male's version as well." Their theory does fit the possibility do to the herb does enhances the human's ability but it's based off the body inside and out.
Yona says in exciting tone: "Oh my goodness! Did you see that? I feel amazing!" J'Kuo says in agreement: "Indeed. The herb did wonders for, that not even I saw coming." J'Kuo thought for a moment in his mind of why the Heart-shaped-herb worked better in her than any other man. Maybe it must be her ancestry, being descendent from a Dragon God who took a mortal form. Even though the bloodline stretched, but it's still linked, so it's possible the herb has a different effect on a descendent of a demi-god. Whatever the reasons, all it insures is that Yona is far more powerful than ever.
Thought-out the day the training continues with two days left until they begin their attack. In the War room Ashitaka, Hak, and J'Kuo watched the rebels trained, they were getting better the Veterans are regaining their skills and the young recruits were developing faster than predicted. Ashitaka says regarding the troops progression: "The rebel soldiers are getting better." Hak adds in agreement but knows the flaw: "Indeed but we're still out numbered. I wish we had more villagers. Maybe we can turn the tide. Even if we somehow defeated the army there's still the palace it's too heavily fortified."
J'Kuo realizes this and comes up with and idea even though it goes against Wakanda's law: "I know I shouldn't be doing this, buy I might be able to bring my country's army." The two turn to the King of an African kingdom, the Lighting Beasts questions: "But I thought you said you couldn't bring your army. Was that a lie?" The Black Panther answers: "No. My military can't invade foreign nations, but we can aid you." The Black Panther leaves so he can go gather his country's forces.
As the day passes the training still continued, The Black Panther using one of his secret flying machine with a clocking device. He travels to Wakanda to gather as many of his soldiers as possible.
The third day the leaders began to strategize the attack on the palace. Nemo begins: "We could charge forward at the front gate. But that would be too dangerous, they'll probably have archers and riflemen to pick us off. We'll loose our army quickly." Marco comes up with a plan, but he thinks it won't work: "We could try a Trojan horse idea. But I doubt they're going to fall for that old trick." Steven asks: "Can we sneak in? Like are there tunnels underneath the palace that's used during invasions?" Hak points out the flaw: "That could work, but we can't sneak in an entire army. Even if we could we couldn't storm all at once it would. They still have advantage over us."
Nadia looks at the map very carefully, she sees the pathway and surround the palace is forests, she sees a possibility and says: "Ok, I'm not a military expert. But what if we drew them out and flank them from the surrounding forests on both sides. Then lure them into the forests by dividing their army?" Pearl says to Nadia: "Nadia that's actually a pretty brilliant plan." Hak agrees but points out the flaw: "It sounds brilliant but we don't have enough warriors to divide their forces." Peridot says in agreement with Hak: "I hate to admit it, but if we had artillery we could weaken their army. But we're running out of time. We have only one day till Soo-Won starts his war."
As they thought for a while then J'Kuo's voice says: "If you can't have war machines. But more warriors will have sufficed." They exclaim as they turn around seeing the Panther King. Yoon says to the King of Wakanda: "You got to stop doing that! You're going to give me and all of us a heart attack." J'Kuo asks: "Do you ever stop whining?" Yona asks J'Kuo: "So did you bring your warriors?"
The King nods yes, and answers: "Yes. I brought manny of my country's best warriors. We now how more than enough warriors to take the palace. I even brought the warriors of the Boarder tribe. I send an invention to the Jabari tribe. But seem they unlikely to join." Connie asks J'Kuo: "Why's that? Didn't they reply?" J'Kuo answers Connie's questions: "Highly unlike. Everyone in Wakanda knows the Jabaries love a good fight and they are fearsome and strong warriors. But they chose not join, for like before they will not follow the king of the Panther tribe." The group feels disappointed from what the Black Panther explained they'd be useful and could tip the tide into the Crimson hair princess' rebels favor.
Then a they hear some kind of chant. The leaders step outside to see a large army of warriors. These were ordinary warriors, they were of the Jabari tribe. They wore armor made out of brown wood with white fur around their necks, their forearms and as a capes. The warriors chant as did their leader in Xhosa.
The rebels along the other Wakandian warriors stood out of the way, as they marched to the Black Panther and Crimson hair princess.
When the Jabari stops marching, but their leader still walks to the rebel leaders. When he stops chanting he stands in front of J'Kuo and Yona. Yona asks J'Kuo: "Uh, J'Kuo do you know these men?" J'Kuo answers: "Yes. These are the Jabari. This is their leader M'Booku. Why are you here?" The Jabari chieftain answers: "You asked for our aid. You are the first king in centuries to ask for our help. But we will not join your cause. Nor help some outsider princess reclaim her throne." He said looking at the princess.
Yona asks M'Booku: "You're telling us, you came with an army all this way but you won't fight?" The Jabari chieftain answers: "What happens to your country is none of our concern." The Princess says to him: "But sir, you must understand. What happens in my kingdom determines what will happen to the rest of world. And I know you and the rest of Wakandians keep yourselves, and we are all have different beliefs. But regardless of what the color of our skin, or different country of birth, or what language we speak or deities we worship. We all share the same world. And if Soo-Won conquers the world who will tell stories of the Jabaries?" M'Booku laughs at what Yona said and replies: "An interesting debate and argument. I will consider it. We will stay here but whether we join the battle or not, we will see." The princess took what she get so no need for force. She bows in respect to his responds.
Through the night everyone slept in their own individual tents and beds. Each person dreamt, some good, some bad but Yona's was something else. She was experiencing a nightmare/vision of the future if Soo-Won continued down the path he's chosen.
In her nightmare, she sees countries fall, the old and new world burning, forests destroyed and all matter of religion not just the Crimson Dragon God, even crucifix, Star of David, Shiva, and Buddha statues are either burning or melting. Even ancient temples belonging to cultures once existed are destroyed. In the world where Soo-Won rules all manner of religion and mythology's are destroyed, and everyone is dress the same Asian theme clothing, no individuals, and idealism, justice, and freedom are extinct.
Yona wakes up and heavily/quickly breaths in terror of her nightmare. She leaves her room, Hak's left eye open and notice Yona leaving. The Princess looks up at the moon and stars. Hak behind her and asks: "Princess?" She turns around to see her childhood friend. "Why are you up? You need your rests." Yona replies: "Oh Hak, I had a nightmare, or a vision. A vision of what Soo-Won will do, if he conquers the world." Hak questions: "What kind of world is it?" Yona answers: "In his world order, no matter of religion or mythology is left. As if it was destroyed even the very memory is erased. And idealism, individuality, justice and freedom is erased. And the forests of the world are destroyed as if everything good in this world destroyed. I won't let that happen." She said in an unyielding tone but quietly.
Hak found Yona to be acting like a warrior instead of princess, she was no long the spoiled, privilege girl who lived at the palace. She was no longer helpless or dependent. She's grown a lot in more ways than one.
Hak says to Yona once again: "Princess, Yona. I've known you since we were children. We along with Soo-Won grew up as siblings. And I thought you and Soo-Won would be ruling the kingdom together. Even after escaping the palace, and since we started this journey of finding the Dragon Warriors and beyond. You're becoming a different person. In fact I almost feel attractive towards you." Yona returns the comment: "Hak to be honest with you; You stood beside me. And even though I had feelings for Soo-Won. But now I might have feelings for you." The two looked into each others eyes, then two kiss as their eyes close.
They returned to their separate beds but both knew they were in love, but until the Kohka kingdom is saved their feelings will have to wait.
The next morning the rebellion was getting ready for battle all their spears, swords, axes, hammers, bows and even the stolen rifles. The Wakandians put war paint on, some of the rebels wanted war paint as well. There were many questions being asks among rebels, but the biggest question was; how to draw out the enemy from the palace? Ashiatak asks: "Our forces are ready. But how do we draw out the enemy forces?" Marco comes up with a plan: "We can launch a barrage of arrows from all sides to force them out."
Jean adds: "That could possibly work. But why not use smoke explosives? That way we can literally smoke them out." Nemo agrees with both plan: "We could do those ideas. But we need something that will draw them out willingly." Dipper asks: "How? It's not like we can walk up and knock on the front door." Yona asks: "Why not?" The leaders turn to Yona. "I'll drawl them out." Yoon asks: "How? No offense Yona, but how are you going to get them to come out?" Yona simply answers: "With an a threatening attack they won't see coming."
At the palace, the warriors are getting suited up armed to the teeth with swords, spears bows and arrows and rifles. The King and his four general of the Earth, Sky, Wind and Fire clans walk towards a crate of weapons reading for shipment to their warriors hidden in other countries.
Soo-Jin says to Soo-Won: "Some of our forces will not go forward with this conquest of yours. But the war dogs in New York, Berlin, and Hong Kong are ready. And since New York's in chaos, they won't suspect a third army to attack, the invading army and rebels will be overrun."
Soo-Won says as he opens a crate: "Then they'll be the first places to attack. The rest will come around." He picks up a bolt action rifle. "Can you believe that we have wester weapons, that will give us an edged against our neighboring enemy kingdoms? And we have hundreds of them. Soon we'll uses these weapons against the west."
Then out of nowhere three airs from the sky hits two palace guards and a wagon driver. The King, the four generals and some of the warriors rush to the front of the gate. In a distance they see a hooded figure and the distance between her and the palace was 3 miles. The hooded figure removes her hood to reveal herself as Princess Yona.
While most of the generals of Fire, Sky and Earth were in shocked to see her, as if they were seeing a ghost. Tae-Woo says with a smile: "She has return." Even though he knew she was alive, the rightful heir has come home.
Yona yells to her cousin's name: "SOO-WON!" He replies: "Well hello Yona." The princess continues: "I'm the rightful heir to my father's throne! And as you can see, I am not dead! And you knew since the day after Yang Kum-Ji's death, whom I killed!" Soo-Won replies not intimidated: "Even if I did knew. All that rightful heir shit is over. I'm the king now." He turns to the wagon drivers and orders: "Get those weapons ready!"
Soo-Jin says to his king: "Sire, allow us to get rid of her." Tae-Woo protests the leader of the Fire Clan: "No Soo-Jin. She's the rightful heir. We are honor bound to her." However the leaders of the Earth, Sky, and Fire clans gather their armies and charges towards princess.
The Princess stood her ground as she continues to fire arrows as fast as assault rifle hitting a few charging warriors in either the chest or in the legs.
The tribal leaders were shocked to see their soldiers getting killed by Princess Yona. The last time they saw her she was a weakling but now she like warrior. But they still charged forward to attack Yona. When they were a mile and a half from reaching her, Yona yells: "NOW!" The rebel armies including the misfit pirates, Pirates of Awa, the Crystal Gems, the Magnificent 9, the Four Dragon Warriors, the White Dragon Warrior clan, and Wakanda's warrior charge from the forests sides. Back at the Palace Tae-Woo and 100 of his warriors aim their weapons at Soo-Won. Tae-Woo says to his warriors: "Main warriors, protect the Princess!" So the entire army of the Wind clan minus Tae-Woo and 9 of his warriors join the rebels. "Your heart is so full of hatred. You're not fit to be a king!" Soo-Won pulls out two swords from behind and he removes his robes to reveal he's wearing armor. He says to the general and 9 warriors: "Come on!" The ten Wind Clan warriors charge against the traitorous king.
On the battlefield, the rebel forces retreat back into the forest. The three clans' armies followed dividing their army's strength. In the right side forest the Lighting Beast Hak, The White, Green Dragon Warriors, Steven, Connie, San and the misfit pirates and their forces stop retreating they turn around aim their weapons. Hak yells: "Form up! Form up!" The rebels ready their spears, as the leader of the Fire clan, and some of his forces along with some Sky and Earth clan warriors stop in mid-charge.
On a zip line tied to two trees, a man on the zip line slides down with a torch in his hand, when he's close to the ground he purposely drops the torch and sets a trail of oil ablaze creating a literal fire wall. The Fire Clan leader along with his soldiers as well as the Sky and Earth clans soldiers were more divided than before.
Hak yells to the rebel soldiers: "Now charge!" The rebels charges the trapped enemy soldiers, over powering them. Soo-Jin yells as he fights the rebels: "Scatter or die! Scatter or die!" The troops did as they were ordered, some of the Fire clan soldiers protect their clan leader.
On the left side forest where J'Kuo, The Golden and Blue Dragon Warriors, Marco, Jean, Nadia, Ashitaka, Dipper and Mabel, along with the Crystal Gems, and other crew members of the Odyssey and White Dragon Warrior clan stops their forces from retreating. The Wakandian boarder guards stood in front J'Kuo yells to his warriors to raise their shields.
The cloths the Wakandians wore raises their shields which happens to be made of electronic energy force fields. The leaders of the Sky and Earth clans, along with their other half of their forces and some Fire clan soldiers stopped and were in shock seeing the shields. Jean says regarding the shields: "Amazing! Energy shields made of electronic power…" Dipper interrupts: "Jean, now's not the time! We're in the middle of a battle." The French inventor realizes now's truly not the time.
The Fire, Earth, and Sky clan warriors with rifles forms a firing squad single file. The Earth Clan leader yells: "Soldiers, line up! Ready weapons!" The soldiers put bayonets on their rifles, then aim their guns. "Ready! Aim! Fire!" The soldiers fire at the shields but when the bullets hit the shields it has no effect. One Wakandian soldier says to another in Xhose: "Imipu. Yinto yakudala kakhulu."
The Sky clan leader questions what's happening: "What sorcery is?! Our weapons aren't having any effect!" After realizing this they decided to do this the old fashion way. Close quarter combat. Geun-Tae order the combining remaining forces: "Hold fire!" The firing squad stops firing, the Black Panther orders to lower the shields. After lowering shields, J'Kuo steps in front of the Wakandian army and yells the battle cry: "Wakanda forever!" His soldiers repeat the war cry. He, his army, some rebels, two Dragon Warriors, members of the Magnificent 10, the Crystal Gems, and crew of the Odyssey charges, as does the Kouka warriors.
In the charge running ahead of everyone is the Black Panther. As they drew close, the Black Panther king jumps on the enemy army clashing his claws against swords and bayonets. The rest of the allied forces clashes against the Khoak warriors. The Blue Dragon Warrior clashes his sword against the enemies' swords and punches them and flips a few soldiers over him. The Yellow Dragon clashes sword too and tosses them like rag dolls.
Ashitaka fires arrows at a three Sky clan warriors hitting them in the shoulder, hand, and kneecap. Dipper and Mable were back-to-back, fighting enemy soldiers, Dipper used a rifle but as melee weapon by hitting them with the butt of the gun. Mabel uses her grappling hook gun hitting enemy soldiers in the face, some knocking out teeth.
Jean, Nadia, and Marco were fighting along side the rebels and crew members of the Odyssey. At first they were being overwhelmed but they began to push back. Jean pulls out a new invention, the awful-smell-smoke-bomb. Everyone held their breath while the enemy soldiers ran from the stench which was so awful their eye teared up and burned.
Reinforcements from the Wind clan joins the battle against the warriors attacking Princess Yona. But from what they see Yona against 20 warriors and she was 3 times faster than the warriors of the Sky, Fire and Earth clans. She catches the blade of a Earth clan warrior, pulls it out of his hand. Then she jumps in the while rotating kicks in the air. When she lands a Sky warrior with a axe in hands, only to be blocked by a Wind clan warrior who punches the Sky warrior in the face. Then takes the axe from the Sky warrior's hand and kills him with his own weapon. The Wind clan warriors joined to fight with the rightful heir to the throne.
Back at the right forest the three clan warriors were being overwhelmed. Among the rebel soldiers is Tae-Jun the Fire clan leader Soo-Jin's son who's fighting his own clansmen and those of the Sky and Earth. Soo-Jin yells at his son: "Tae-Jun?! What are you doing?! Why are you fighting with these traitors?!" Tae-Jun answers why: "Something I should done, if I wasn't so arrogant and selfish. I'm helping by returning power to Princess Yona and to the people. We've stolen and abuse the power from the people." Soo-Jin questions: "What? Why should we care about those fools? They're just like weeds! I can cut them down they'll just grow back!" He angrily said to his son, as they clash blades. Father who fights for his own ambitions and greed while the son fights for honor and what is right.
Connie and Steven were also Back-to-back, Steven using his Vibrainum shield by throwing his shield, which bounces off three enemy soldiers, two trees before returning to his hand. Connie uses the sword fighting style of fencing and Kendo. She single handedly fought three Earth clan warriors. These were experienced warriors but Connie was faster and skilled, she took them down with ease. The first one she kicks him in the face then pulls him over head. The second one she slides down avoiding the attack then she breaks the blade with one swing, the pulls him in smashing him into a tree. The last one she simple stood out of the way, with her foot out, causing him to trip over and hit himself in the face with a tree root.
The two saw Tae-Jun fighting with his father who is being over powered. The two looked at each other each other knowing knowing he might need help. Tae-Jun was still fighting his own father. Tae-Jun maybe be young and been trained since childhood, but Soo-Jin was experienced and has no sympathy for others. Tae-Jun trips over a tree root as he lay on the ground.
Soo-Jin says to his son: "I had high hopes for you. You could've been a worthy successor." Tae-Jun questions: "A successor of what?! Of enslaved people and for your own ambitions?!" Soo-Jin replies: "I'm disappointed in you. Well you're no longer use to me." He raises his sword about to kill his own son.
He readies to kill his son, Tea-Woo raises his hands, but as soon as Soo-Jin swings his sword, it's blocked by Steven's Vibrainum shield. He turns to Steven, who says: "You're a bad person and a horrible leader and father." The Gypsy man and Hindu woman fights the Fire clan leader.
Two against one, the clan leader maybe have combat experience general, but these two fought villains, monsters and other things most men would shit themselves. So in comparison this man is a cream puff. He tries to cut them but the two use a sword and shield both offense/defense, in a form of tactic he's not use to.
As the Green Dragon Warrior jumps in the air, and throws small knives. Where he lands next to Kaji, and says: "I gotta admit, we've come from a long line from fighting mercenaries and corrupted officer scumbags." Kaji replies agreement: "Yeah or bandits. I have to admit, this is almost kinda fun." They're interrupted by charging 10 warriors, only for them to be stopped by Hak who swings his weapon taking them out. Hak turns to the two Dragon Warrior and says: "You know, if you two girls are done bradding each others hair. I suggest you get back to fighting." The White Dragon growled in annoyance while the Green Dragon Warrior jumps into the air to continue the fight.
Meanwhile in the trees rebel archer are firing, the only one who's not firing is the Oracle who hesitates to shoot for he's never hurt a soul. 3 Earth clan warriors are chasing 5 rebels, the Oracle aims his bow at one of the man-made-traps the rebels made earlier. He aims then fires at the trap causing it to release, having a log swing hitting the three enemy warriors knocking them down. Ik-Soo says quoting the Bible: "'Pride goeth before the fall.'" A random rebel screaming for help while being chased by a Sky clan warrior caring a sword.
The Oracle sees this, aims his bow at the Sky clan warrior, he fires hitting the warrior at the base of his spine and butt crack. The Sky clan warrior screams in pain. "'Turn the other cheek brother.'" He continues to fire none-lethal attacks.
As for the Crystal Gems are each giving the enemy warriors a hard time. Garnet using her gauntlets punching left and right, then tosses one into a tree. Pearl using a spear and sword, she out maneuvers and dodges with grace and skill equal to a ballerina. Amethyst with her whip says to 6 warriors: "Who wishes to fight with me?" With her whip she latches to a warrior's spear and forces him to hit himself with the face with his own weapon. Peridot using machines weapon such as rifles making them similar to machine guns. Her advanced weapon took down without killing any soldier. Lapis Lazuli using her water powers to force the enemy warriors back by creating giant water fist. And Bismuth with two hammers in hand swings left and right, while she shouts: "Come on! I came to deliver bismuth! At least make it a challenge for me!"
One large warrior with a large sword and a long axe wearing heavy armor, stood in front of Bismuth who laughs seeing she found a challenge. The warrior punches her twice then sends her flying into a tree. She gets back up, and says with a cocky smile: "Now that's more like it!" She runs to the large warrior, who also charges the two fiercely yells then they clash so quickly no could see. The large warrior falls down defeated. "Hu, apparently not as much of a challenge as I though."
In the left side of the forest, Lee Geun-Tae was fighting rebels, Wakandians, and White Dragon clansmen from all directions killing them. Dipper notice this so he charges to stop Lee Geun-Tae, he pulls out his own sword and yells to the Earth clan leader. The two warrior's blade clashed, but despite what Dipper experience, this man was clearly stronger, he even grabs Dipper by his neck collar and tosses him like he was a rag doll.
Dipper lays down on the ground, and near him is a hammer. He tries to reach for it, and when he grabs it, he stands up with a confident smile and says: "Looks like the tables have turned." He was Five feet away from the leader of the Earth clan. He throws the hammer at him, but he catches in mid-air. "That was an amazing catch." He said in complete shock and amazement.
But before Lee Geun-Tae could continue to fight, Mable uses her grappling hook gun wrapping around him, he turns to see Mabel, along with Jean, Nadia and Ashitaka holding the rope. He struggles to break free, but the four youths held him with all their combined might. Dipper charges forward at Lee Geun-Tae pushing towards a tree, he still tries to resist but with the combined strength of all five the finally got him close enough to a tree, but it still wasn't enough not until Yoon came in and helps Dipper push. With now combined strength of 6 they push him to a tree, and tie him to it. Dipper then punches Lee Geun-Tae in the face knocking him unconscious. Dipper says: "Thanks Yoon." The young man genius replies: "You're welcome."
Mable says regarding the Earth Clan leader: "Wow, he was a difficult one. Hey Yoon." He turns to Mable and wave hello. "I thought you hated violence." Yoon replies: "Normally I don't, but sometimes we need to do what needs to be done." They nodded in understand, Nadia says: "I understand. We all do." They still see people fighting. "Should we continue?" Ashitaka says: "We can't let them fight alone." They yell as they charge back into battle.
In the heat of battle Shin-Ah was still fighting against the enemy warriors, he turns to see Zeno who is being stabbed, shot and hit by multiple warriors. Shin-Ah yells: "ZENO!" He rushes to save his fellow Dragon Warrior, who stands back up, he removes the blades piercing his body and the bullets too. His skin transformed from a human's flesh into Dragon scales. One random warrior tries to cut his arm with a sword, it's destroyed like it was glass on contact. Zeno then punches the warrior into a tree.
The warriors run in fear yelling: "Ah! Run he's a monster!" Zeno says to the retreating warriors: "Hey that's rude!" He pointed out what they said, Shin-Ah stands beside the Golden Dragon. Shin-Ah asks: "Are you alright?" Zeno replies: "Ho, this? I've had worse than this." The two continue to fight.
Back in the right forest Hak is fighting more warriors with ease. He was back to back with the White and Green Dragon Warriors Kaji and Jae-Ha. Hak says to Kaji and Jae-Ha: "You know I haven't had a battle like this in along time." Kaji agrees: "Yeah, kinda like the time we fought a whole army on one the Khoka kingdom's boarders." Jae-Ha jumps and throws more knives without killing anyone. He says with a smile: "There's no end to them. But I'm not complaining." The trio still fought as if they were stronger than any normal man. Which they were.
In the battlefield San was fighting many enemy warriors by using her stones knives. She lands killing blows on 10 warriors, one attacks her from behind only for her to dodge it, then head-butts him and takes his spear. She continues to fight, now she wields a spear, which might even the odds more.
Steven and Connie were still in battle lock against Soo-Jin until Connie sweep kicks him, causing him to fall and looses his sword. She catches the sword by the handle. She now held her own sword and now the clan leader's sword. The two stood before him, Soo-Jin cannot face his clan as a failure, so the only out of this is through death.
Soo-Jin says to the two youth: "End it! You have earned the pleasure of my death. So finish it." Connie takes the two swords, cross them together like scissors, but instead of cutting off his head, but his bun on the top of his head, Connie says with a sly smile: "You look like you needed a hair cut." She and Steven giggled, as the leader of the Fire clan feel where his bun was until Connie cut it off. He gets up and starts to flee like the dishonorable coward he is. The two say at the same time: "Why do they always run?" Steven takes his shield and throws it at Soo-Jin, which bounces off his head causing to fall face first into the dirt. The shield returns to his hand, he and Connie return to the battle.
The Lighting Beast, White and Green Dragon Warriors along are now surrounded by a huge number of Sky and Earth clan warrior who boxed them in. A commanding officer yells to the three warriors: "You are now surrounded! Lay down your weapons or die! You have until the count of 3. One! Two! Thre…" He was interrupted by the sound Hooting and barking. One of the Earth clan warriors is lifted by M'Booku with one arm.
M'Booku yells: "Witness the might of the Jabaries!" The three warriors smiled seeing more Wakandian reinforcements came to their aid. "First hand!" He throws the warrior like a rag doll into other enemy warriors causing them to collapse on impact. The Jabari tribal warriors using wooden club/spears, among the warriors of the Jabari some were women, who kills a Earth clan warrior.
The commanding officer goes for M'Booku by cutting his head only the Jabari chieftain to swing his club clashing with the sword, but breaks the sword like it was glass. The Lighting Beast, the White and Green Dragon Warriors and Jabari rejoined the battle and now are pushing the enemy forces back.
As the Sky clan leader Han Joo-Doh he was still fighting many rebels even killing them with his sword. But when saw the battle growing out of hand, his forces loosing numbers quickly seeing his men either have arrows in their backs or being overwhelmed and killed . He knew the odds are now stacked against him, so he tries to retreat. He yells: "Retreat! Return to the palace! Retreat!" But he is stopped by the Black Panther J'Kuo who asks: "Where are you going? You're not thinking of leaving the party so soon." The Sky clan leader pulls out his sword while yelling-ly charges, only for J'Kuo to simply punch him in the face knocking him out cold. "(Sigh) They don't make warrior leaders from Asia like they use to." He said in a disappointed tone.
The rebel, Wakandians, Pirates, crew of the Odyssey, Pirates of Awa, the CGs, the Four Dragon Warriors, and M9 are overwhelming the Khoka kingdom's armies. Even though the rebel army's consisted of farmers, fishermen, livestock herders etc… with the aid of foreign cultures and legendary warriors. All was left was Soo-Won. Yona runs to the palace to confront her cousin.
Speaking of which the traitor king was still fighting Tae-Woo and his soldiers were now down 4 warriors, the rest are either killed or beaten. Tae-Woo and his remain soldier were exhausted but Soo-Won was still holding own, they charge again only for him to defeat them easily.
As he was about to kill Tea-Woo, Yona jumps onto him pushing him into courtyard. The Princess and King began to fight Soo-Won knowing Thai Chi, duel sword fighting, and kick boxing. As for Yona she knows Kung Fu, boxing even the fighting styles of Wakanda. They fought until they entered the palace, and at a moment of cease fighting, the two talked. Soo-Won spoke first: "I offered you a chance to live in peace. But instead you bring a rebellion against us? I showed you mercy and this is how repay me?" Yona replies in anger: "You would have the Kouka Kingdom become the people you and your father hated so much! Divide and conquer as they did!"
Soo-Won disagrees: "No I've learned from our enemies. As did my father, we defeat them at their own game." Yona states how wrong he is: "You have become them, if not worse than them! Yu-Hon was no better either. He was a murder and burned a sacred temple, he even scared my mother. You will destroy the world, and the Kouka Kingdom included!" Soo-Wom finishes: "The world took everything from me! Everything I ever loved! But I will make sure we're even, and I will kill anyone even thinking about being loyal to you or the Crimson Dragon God! And I will put them in the dirt, right next to your father!" The two charge continuing the fight.
Yona may posses the strength of 10 men along with the speed and stamina of a jungle cat, as well as have night vision, but Soo-Won has extended training, so raw strength vs skill it's a bit difficult to see who wins. Yona jumps spin kicks in the air, but Soo-Won blocks the attacks. The Traitor king tries multiple punches on the crimson hair princess, but she dodges them all. The she punches him in the face, he retaliates by kicking her in the chest sending her flying into a pillar. She recovers quickly just in time, for Soo-Won who tries to kick her again, but she catches her leg, then lifts him up, and swings to the same pillar.
After letting him go, he gets back up and charges the crimson hair princess. He throws a punch, but she grabs his left arm and flips him over her back onto the ground. She kicks him in the head, he retaliates by pulling out a hidden knife from his sleeve, then stabs her in the right shoulder, she screams in pain, as she's pushed by Soo-Won up against another support-beam. Yona groans in pain, Soo-Won says: "Sorry about this, but this is the end for you cousin. Say hello to King Ill for me in hell." Then suddenly she remembers everything, her father's death, the palace servant who sacrificed his own life so Yona and Hak could escape, the people who lived in poverty because of those who took advantage of her father's reign, the boy Yam Kum-Ji's thugs mercilessly beat to death, all the innocent people who died all for the greed of their corrupted leaders. She shows Soo-Won her violent eyes, his stoke expression changed, it was an emotion he's not felt in a long time…fear.
She grabs the hand holding the knife and pulls it out. It may have hurt, but no amount of physical pain compares to the mental pain she's endured. After pulling out the blade, she one handed pushes Soo-Won off, sending flying to the other end of the palace room.
He was wearing bamboo armor that was 5 inches thick, and she left a hand print on the armor that pierced through 3.1 inches. He was shocked to see the hand print on his armor.
Yona stared at Soo-Won, who says in thought while gazing at her: 'I never seen Yona like this before. Her violent eyes, pieces into me, and her crimson hair it feels like fire. Like she's engulfing me in flames, burning my soul from the inside out.' He had no idea she was holding this in like a caged wild beast. Yona then gets into a warrior's stance of the tiger, the her finger nails became like claws, she makes a hand single telling her cousin to bring it.
Soo-Won pulls out another sword and charges again, so does Yona but she was faster, she jumps into the air and round house kicks Soo-Won who tries to block the attack. When she lands on the ground she uses her finger nail claws to strike, he dodges them but barely until she cuts him in the cheek spilling some blood.
He checks his cheek and sees his blood spilled. He swings his sword but no matter how fast he swings he couldn't land a hit on the princess, she was moving so fast it looked slow compared to the human eye, as if she was moving 80 MPH. He swings it again, but Yona slides dodges it, and grabs the sword and thrusts it into a right side support beam causing it to be stuck. She then head butts him in the face, causing him to let go of the sword and forces him to fall backwards. He notice he was bleeding from the nose, he was beyond shock and intimidated, now he was angry.
She then pulls the sword out easily. Soo-Won at a moment of desperation pulls out another secret dagger from his sleeve, and while saying to Yona: "I will succeed! I will return our kingdom to glory of that of our Grandfather! And I will not be weak!" Yona replies with a question: "Why return us to a former glory when we can create a new one? And I will not allow you to destroy my father's legacy nor his memory. And by the way strength come in more than one form."
The two charge one last time, Soo-Won swings his dagger only for Yona to jump over his head, then uses the sword to cut him from behind the leg, causing him to fall onto his knees.
She stood over him and she has an opportunity to kill him, but despite everything that has happened, she couldn't her heart won't let her. And she wanted to end the cycle of violence, she only uses it as a means to end violence to battle tyranny, injustice and corruption. Yona purposely drops the sword, and drags Soo-Won by his neck collar and opens the palace door. Standing in front of the palace was the entire rebel army, she shows Soo-Won defeated, the rebels cheered for the princess.
The next day after the smoke clears and dust settle Yona is about to crowned queen. In the courtyard the rebel forces, the Wakandians, the White Dragon Warrior clan, and pirates stood waiting for the new queen many of the rebels were patched up and bandaged up and wish to see this event. Yona presents herself before her people and allies while wearing new royal robes, with Hak, Yoon, the Oracle and Four Dragon Warriors by her side. Yona announces to the people: "As of today, this war is finally over!" The people cheered. "And now we will return the Khoka kingdom to it's former glory if not a greater one. And the religion of the Crimson Dragon God and all history is no longer forbidden. I know it's going to take a lot of work, the challenging. For too long we have been divided allowing for corruption and poverty to spread. But with the Four Dragon Warriors help, we can make this kingdom strong to stand up against those who stole the power from the people. And we can begin a new era of Love, peace, wisdom, justice and compassion." She kneels down with the Oracle standing behind her with the crown in hand. The Oracle says to the people: "All hail Queen Yona!" The people cheered again loudly for the new queen.
As first order of business, Yona will decide the fates of the prisoners. The crimson hair queen sat on her throne, Soo-Won was brought before her, after having his wounds treated. He was first in line, behind him was Soo-Jin and the leaders of the Earth and Sky clans.
Soo-Won asks Yona with a stoke expression: "What form of punishment is my fate, my queen?" He said in a stoke tone as if he didn't care what will happened to him, for he feels like he failed his kingdom. Yona answers: "Soo-Won, as much as I wish for you to die, for what you did to my father. But I don't want to live a life of revenge there are parts in my heart that still loves you. And having to leave the palace opened my eyes, my father wasn't perfect but he was still human. So in a way I thank you. Instead of death, you will walk around our country. Walk until your feet bleed. And keep walking."
The guards escorted the former king out, he excepted his punishment without resistance or complaint. The next up for punishment is Soo-Jin, he kneels before the queen trying plea for her forgiveness: "My queen, please forgive me and show me mercy. I realize what I did was wrong." Yona with anger says: "Spare me your pleads. When your people were suffering, did you show them mercy? No, you let them suffer. For your punishment, you will be stripped of all military rank and affiliations. You will no longer be the leader of the Fire clan and council member. All this will go to your son Tae-Jun." The former Fire clan leader was in shocked, as if he was experiencing a heart attack but wasn't really, then he's dragged away by the royal guards for he couldn't move his legs. As for Han Joo-Doh and Lee Geun-Tae. "As for you two, I can't entirely punish you, for you've done thing bad to your clans. And I assume you were only following my cousin's orders. So you will be temperamental relieved of your clan leaderships all while a worthy substitute leader from one of your kin will take your places." The two didn't argue but simply bowed following order. Lee Geun-Tae says to the queen: "Your majesty, if I maybe be so bold. I'm…I'm sorry for everything. We may called your father a weakling and coward in the past. And he may have done ruling this kingdom wrong. And I thought Soo-Won would've been better. At first I thought being a global empire would've been glorious, but looking at it now, seem like madness. So please forgive me." He apologizes, she simply nods and does forgive him, but still give him his punishment.
Finally the last ones to be judge are the surviving royal guards who tried to kill her after witnessing her father's murder. One of the solders says: "My queen, you have every right to be angry. But we were doing what we thought what was right for the kingdom. But now we too see we were wrong." Yona stands up from her throne with an angry look and simply says: "Get them out of my sight." The former royal guards were escorted out of the palace, their fate remains unknown.
She turns to the crew of the Odyssey, the Black Panther and M9. Yona bows to them in means of thanking them, they bow right back. Yona says to them: "Thank you. All of you. Because of you, I have reclaimed my throne and family's honor." Ashitaka says: "You're welcome, your highness. If you ever need our help, just call us." The crimson hair queen replies: "The same here. But it's going to take a while to fix my kingdom." Dipper says in agreement: "True, rebuilding a country isn't easy. I mean Rome wasn't build in a day." He joked at the end, and everyone laughed. Nemo then places his hand on Yona's right shoulder and says: "Just remember Yona. You are a queen now, you have the power to rule and change this kingdom for the better. But never forget your promises or the lessons you've learn. Or the sacrifices that were made." The Queen replies: "I won't." Nemo continues: "And remember this; With great power." Garnet finishes: "Comes great responsibility." Yona takes their wisdom in, and this time it's more serious.
In the end the rebellion has disbanded, families reunited, farmers given new seeds to regrow crops, they're given medical attention. The crew of the Odyssey was about to set sail as were the Wakandians, but before they could the Black Panther J'Kuo remembered to give Yona the tea. J'Kuo says to Yona: "Yona, wait. Before I leave, you must drink this tea. It will remove the power of the Black Panther." The Crimson hair queen realizes this replies: "Oh, yeah. I almost forgot about that." Everyone gave the deaf fish eyes, thinking 'how could she forget?' "What?! We've been fighting all day yesterday and taking back a kingdom. It's been so long you might forget something important to remember." She held the cup but before she presses it against her lip.
J'Kuo says: "Wait!" Yona questions: "What now?" The Black Panther answers: "The tea will remove the power by entering the bloodstream. Fair warning it's going to hurt. It will feel like fire coursing through you." Yona was disturbed by that warning so she takes the tea slowly, one slurp at a time. The tea begins to take effect, she drops to the grouD, Hak and Kaji grabs hold of her and says simultaneously: "Queen Yona!" Her eyes were bloodshot and she breathed heavily.
Kaji worriedly asks: "My queen are you alright?" Hak adds: "Say something. Tell us you're alright." Yona stops heavily breathing and answers: "Yeah, I'm fine." She turns to J'Kuo. "You weren't kidding. It did felt like fire in my whole body." The Black Panther explains: "You see the tea flushes the herb's power out of your bloodstream. It's going to get worse before it get's better." They didn't like to hear the last part, but they realize this isn't over yet.
Jean, Marco, Connie, Dipper and Peridot bid farewells to Yoon. Jean asks: "What's going to happen to you Yoon?" Yoon answers: "Well me and the Oracle are going to stay at the palace. Until the shrine's build at least. And I'm the queen's new royal advisor." "Wow! Really? That's great for you! Congratulations." Jean, Marco, Connie and Peridot all said towards their fellow brilliant minded friend.
As the Four Dragon Warriors bid farewells to Ashitaka, Steven, San, Mabel, and Nadia. They exchange handshakes and bows.
One the ship of the Odyssey they continue their voyage to find a way bring Star back from the land of the dead. This was another side venture but at least they made a new ally who can help against future villains.
