Aftermath from what had happened, and also checking on what has been secured and keeping it from the others, but perhaps allowing some others know about this. Perhaps this could be more than just something to lock away, but perhaps something that can be used, for when the time is right. Enjoy reading this newly posted chapter folks!

Helluva Loud Adventures.
"Apple Secured and Locked down."

(November 27. Royal-Hela Outpost, outside of Royal Woods.)

We arrive to the top secret vault, this is where they have been keeping their most dangerous things, and apparently they have none. Developed and commissioned by Tannins a month ago, for when they gain something that might be a danger to everything and everyone, so apparently Tannins does have a heart, and she does care... I think.

They step down the hallway, and we see Tannins and Athena are guiding them there, and who are the others?

Loona, Luna, Lincoln, Stolas, Stella, Octavia and the Archangel Eliza, and they look to Lincoln and he has hi satchel and inside is the rare and dangerous artifact, the unified Apple of Eden forged from the six remaining that were found.

Tannins then sees the large vault, and she puts in the password, she then speaks to Lincoln. "Since it was the Silva Hound boy who was responsible for seizing and securing the Apples of Eden, I will inform him of the current password to the vault and..."

Loona then speaks. "Is it the same password you input for the main doors when the base goes on lockdown?" They all look towards Tannins and she remains silent, and Athena is baffled hearing this.

Tannins sighs. "I shall issue a new password for this, and then confirm it to Lincoln."

They all step inside, and see the large white and empty room, and then a circular pedestal is made, and then they see some mechanical arms appear, colored white and are like tentacles and are armed with laser weaponry. This surprises them, and the Archangel is impressed.

"This will do nicely, for we cannot contain such relic within the heavens, for we need not for another fallen angel."

Tannins then looks towards Lincoln. "Place it onto the pedestal and it will do the rest."

Lincoln nods, and he goes over to the white circular pedestal and then he opens his satchel and everyone sees the unified Apple of Eden, and this truly surprises the Ars Goetia.

"All this time, the six remaining apples are capable of fusing into one" replied Stolas. "That is something I never knew it could."

Octavia then asks. "So, if they are unified into one. What would be the outcome?"

Eliza doesn't seem keen about this but she tells them. "Total destruction. for in the hands of someone twisted and evil, it would mean imminent destruction to all things, it is far superior to that of the most dangerous of weapons forged by the hands of man, wielding the powers of the cosmos and possibly beyond any understanding, but if the others were to have survived and not been destroyed, then the power within would be far worse than anything in the known and unknown..."

Luna speaks. "So, kinda like those Infinity Stones from the Avengers movie?"

Eliza remains silent, and she sighs. "Yes, sure. Let's go with that." Tannins seems unsure, and even though she is curious about this artifact, she doesn't want to experiment or deal with it, otherwise everything will be destroyed by its unstoppable power.

Lincoln then places the Apple of Eden onto the pedestal, he then backs up and he sees a powerful glass container and an energy barrier is now surrounding the Apple of Eden, and it floats and remains that way. "There, now it is secured and sealed tight" replied Tannins. "I had this one made from FutureTech's schematics and advanced engineering assistance from Martin McKenzie, and yes this barrier is magic proof, from all sources of magical energy."

"This will ensure that nothing, and no one can come and seize this dangerous and yet powerful relic from the past, so you are all welcome." Tannins then adjusts the mechanical tentacles and they lock down the barrier with an electrical field. "I will also setup a platform system with the password on shutting down the field, and the password will also be passed onto Lincoln Silva Hound, because there is one thing we all know..."

They all look towards the Archangel. Eliza then responds. "After the encounter, and battle you all had with the guardian and his allies, we know that when the time comes then there might be a greater threat to the way of life, and throughout this universe. The Apple of Eden, this is one of the many which have yet to be found, finding them is not an easy task."

"We wish we could inform you more, but the assassins' from before have either hidden the rest, or destroyed them, and if they have hidden the rest, then they have used some form of powerful magic or some energy source to hide them from the eyes of the lord. We will need them one day, to face a foe that would be a threat to humanity, to the heavens and to hell."

Lincoln looks to the Apple of Eden. "A weapon, a powerful weapon that could tip the scales of balance and change the fate of many. They have been used before, and some destroyed, while others remain hidden and unknown. I can understand this, and thank you for coming here, Eliza. But there is something else that the Apple showed me..."

"The memories of the previous Assassins who have held them, I am aware and those who have been seeking them as well" replied Eliza. Everyone is surprised to hear this, and now Loona sees why her son stumbled and looked shocked when he held the object back when they found it. "I know, child. They are the memories of those from the past, and I do believe that you are still seeing them from time to time, then perhaps it means another sign... That the legacy of the brotherhood will carry on, but in the far future, and that you would help ensure the survival, or that of your next generation."

Lincoln nods, and he looks serious, and then he looks to the artifact sealed away. "We have come a long way, since the day I was found, saved and given a new future, and to think that an overlord would be my own thing for the future, but I guess there lies another, but for another time. Correct?"

Eliza stands by his side. "Yes, but the possibilities are something of uncertainty. The choice is yours, and that to your next generation. The true choice, is always yours." Eliza then takes her leave, and so do the Ars Goetia, they will inform Lucifer of this and this will explain why Lucifer can be allowed to go to earth whenever he wants.

Loona goes over, and so does Luna and they place a hand onto the shoulder of Lincoln. Loona can tell, that he has some things in his mind, and sooner or later he will tell her and his sister.

"To be continued in the next chapter folks!"

A/N: The Apple of Eden is sealed, and now they can use it for when the time comes, and soon enough Lincoln has to try and sort out what he seeks for the future, not just the path of an overlord. I hope that you all enjoyed reading this newly posted chapter folks!
