Chapter 18

Those are all the Character's choices from the Seventeenth Chapter. Many of the characters are starting to gain the powers of the elemental souls upon the world of Video Game Evolution. The unison will soon come between all of these characters and an ending will come soon. The world of Grelukis is also experiencing the start of chaos and turmoil as a slaughter has occurred and ever since those from VGE landed on Grelukis, everything on the world got worse and worse. What is going to happen in chapter 18?

"Hold him still! He's trying to escape!" Protoman definitely didn't want to get locked away. He had to still do some things. He wanted to return back home. Staying there to rot away was just wasting his time.

Protoman finally had enough of this. He wouldn't be able to escape with all these guards holding him down. He had to use one of his powers. Zero couldn't help him anymore though. Protoman was on his own. He managed to muster up a powerful blast that penetrated through most of the Luki Guards that were grabbing a hold of him.

Once he was free for their grasps, he sprinted off and out of the castle. The whole castle was on alert now as alarms blared and the wanted target was to get Protoman…either alive or dead… Protoman had escaped the Kingdom of the Lukis, yet he was still on the planet of Grelukis. He had to hide from the Guards and any other Luki. He was sure everyone was looking for him now. Where would he go?

Vinciku decided that he wouldn't be afraid. He was able to fight this aggressive Luki once before. Even if this aggressive Luki had killed off so many already, it wasn't going to kill him, he wouldn't allow it to kill him.

When Vinciku went back to storm the life out of the aggressive Luki, he spotted it rampaging around still, and it was looking for more lives to take. The aggressive Luki wanted to take Vinciku's life this time. As it spotted him, he started to make its way once again to Vinciku, and it was ready to pound him in for good this time.

Vinciku wouldn't lose to this creature. He could beat him for good this time. Which power would he use…?

The ghosts were increasing in number. Mallow/Geno and the Lukis knew that the only way to pass by was to fight these ghosts off. Although ghosts couldn't be killed… How would they pull this off? The Lukis perhaps had powers stored within them to defeat these ghosts, but they could only do so much, and they relied more on Mallow/Geno to take care of them.

Mallow/Geno was also unsure of what exactly had to be done. He had to try though. He could possibly do something against them. The only powers Mallow/Geno had are weather-based and light. Ghosts are usually substances made up of darkness, so possibly a light attack would destroy them…maybe? Mallow/Geno had to go for it.

He yelled out to the Lukis to do the same. They all had to use light powers to destroy these swarming ghosts. It was the only available thing for them at that time. The Lukis agreed too and gave it everything they had. In a quick instant, light shone throughout the entire caved-in undergrounds. The ghosts that were surrounding them were slowly starting to vanish and cower away, then this speed increased before there was no more of them.

The light was only here now. When all the ghosts were gone too, a hole could be seen too, and an even brighter light can be seen up above where that hole was. Mallow/Geno was wondering what him and the Lukis should do. Should they climb up the hole, return to the planet of Greluki, or remain and continue searching underground?

Both Dark Jaks thought that maybe walking into the ocean of swirling lights would bring them into this alternate dimension that the booming voice had talked about. The warp also made some sense to bring them there too, but warps were usually always traditional ways to transport into other unusual places that weren't the natural world. They wanted to return to the real world since they were already in the unnatural.

Each Dark Jak took turns placing their feet in the ocean. Now their feet were coloured too. The ocean of swirling lights seemed to hold them down. Yet at the same time it felt weightless. Step by step they continued walking. Then finally when the ocean's water reached their waste, suddenly both Dark Jak's were sucked in…

Everything was watery around them. The water was just like air to them and they could still breathe without having to hold their breath. This water atmosphere was very colourful too. It was quite strange though, because the booming voice still echoed throughout this coloured underwater, but this time it sounded more bubbly.

"Wrong choice… The location to bring you back to the real world and away from this alternate dimension doesn't even lie here. You will sink down forever in this endless coloured ocean. There might be a way out, but that's highly unlikely. You two will enjoy it down in here. You can find quite a lot of interesting things! Ha Ha Ha!"

Both Dark Jaks couldn't believe this… They were tricked! What is the source of that booming voice? Could it have been the Soul of Pure Neutralization perhaps? Then some ideas of escape came to their minds. The Soul of Pure evil could be unleashed a little bit to contaminate this coloured-water and allow it to become pitch black, and maybe they can get out that way. They can also try to swim back up, or just let themselves fall downwards in it until they might reach a bottom.

Vexxare had nothing to do right now. All he could do right now is sit there in one spot and wait until something happens. That's if anything ever happens here. Now he would begin to think a lot. He would ask himself questions, knowing that he'd probably never get an answer. This is really boring for him. His sanity level is also beginning to decrease too.

While sitting down in complete emptiness and darkness for what felt like eternity. Vexxare finally had something new come through his mind other than the emptiness… "You're now mine. Trapped forever. Here with me as my new soul. You are the first among many souls that I am going to collect. Just as a special treat for you, I will allow you to help me gain other souls to bring back to this very place."

Vexxare looked around, wondering what the source of this voice was. That voice was able to read his mind and continued speaking, "You want to know who and what I am? I am the Grim Reaper. I collect wandering souls that may trudge off into my territory. You are my first victim and there will soon be many others. You don't have any other choice but to help me out. Unless you possibly can think up a way to defeat me!"

Grim Reaper thinks of a place to start the search for souls while Vexxare tries to decide what he should do…

The bright light was getting to them even more and more. Looking at each other, both Zeragus and Kakyoin nodded and headed off in opposite directions. One went towards the brown light while the other went to the green one. The brown light was entered by Kakyoin. His world began to twist around and became replaced by a new world full of dirt and mud. There was also overturned soil that laid about and swamps surrounded the brown grounds.

At the same time, the green light had Zeragus enter it. His surroundings became full of plants, grass, and hedges that kept growing around him rapidly. It felt quite heavenly with flowers scattered off in the distance too.

Zeragus and Kakyoin were definitely in a new place now. Although Zeragus' place was prettier than Kakyoin's. Kakyoin was very disgusted while looking around him. He, as an angel, became very grossed out by what was around him. He wanted it to be more of a heavenly place. Brown should've been something like a chocolate world inside of muck and yuck!

Kakyoin didn't know what to do here. He know wanted to go back. The white light even seemed better. Before he was able to do anything. A bellowing voice approached towards his direction, "You are in Killio now! Here you must remain until you unite with the others with your new powers! It might be tough at first since this power doesn't really match up with you, but this power for you will come in great use later on."

Kakyoin was surprised. He didn't know what was going on. Then out of the swamp, monsters started to creep out and walk forward towards him. Kakyoin stepped back, preparing himself just in case he had to fight these swamp monsters. Although something else came from behind him when he stepped back. A pillar of earth reached up behind his back. His hands were behind him when this happened. A new flow of power seemed to come forth from him, Kakyoin could feel this. He tried once again, this time reaching his hands forward. When it was done this time, a crack in the muddy ground grew in front of him and headed towards the swamp monsters.

Was this Kakyoin's new power? More swamp monsters kept coming. What should he do? Continue using his new power, or head off in another direction?

This green atmosphere didn't match Zeragus' personality. He would've preferred a darker atmosphere. This one seemed quite peaceful and it bored him. What happened next got him a little more interested. "You are now in Killio! You're new power is born within you from this very place! Find the others from other atmospheres and join your power with theirs. You will find out more once this is done."

So Zeragus received new powers. What powers exactly? He simply just tried reaching out a hand to see if anything would happen. Something did happen. White pollen started to pour sideways out of his head. Zeragus was hardly amazed now. This new power wasn't anything great. Just his luck, he betted that the brown light held a better place. Kakyoin must love whichever place he ended up being in.

Now where would Zeragus continue looking? He couldn't wait to find the others to leave this place. All he could see was green hills and grass that seemed to stretch on forever and endlessly. Although something else came, and it started to take away the peace from this atmosphere. It was a stampede of creatures that were running towards his direction.

Could Zeragus use his new powers to stop this stampede, or just run off in another direction away from them?

Selica decided that since she received new lightning powers, she myswell use it to defend herself. These clouds looked as if they could do quite a lot of harm too. She started to strike lightning at each cloud that got closer down to her. It was working quite well as the clouds seemed to slowly vanish away. The whole sky was covered with these clouds though, and something else seemed to be happening too that didn't make things too good.

As she continued using her new lightning powers to get rid of these clouds, as more and more clouds vanished, her powers seemed to weaken bit by bit. Maybe the thunder clouds had to remain as her source of power, but at the same time they still kept falling towards her. Should Selica just let the clouds fall down to her and wait to see what happens, or should she sacrifice every bit of remaining power to destroy all of these clouds, even if it meant having none of this new power at all?

Vegeta was swimming upwards out of the water, while Stella allowed herself to let go and fall down into the water. Fire and water would soon meet once both touched the borderline. It was about to happen in mere seconds at the same time. Vegeta reached the top of the water and Stella reached the top of the water too as each crashed into each other.

Then in a blink both powers and characters exploded in a white blast and in another blink they vanished away into another new place…This new place was mixed with flame and water, while water floating above in the skies and the ground was covered in flames. The body of Vegeta and Stella became one joined together as semi-twins while it was a body full of water on flames.

It was quite a confusing realm and situation. The booming voice that had introduced them before to Killio seemed quite impressed as he told them the following, "Congratulations as you two began to unite your powers. Find and unite with the others to become an even more powerful being. Then the world can truly regain peace and harmony."

Stella and Vegeta didn't really want to think of merging bodies and powers with others. Something about this didn't seem very right, but should they go along with it anyways and search for others?

Visions of Fire, Earth, Water, Lightning, Grass, Dark, and Light all flashed into the mind of Bardock. He could sense all of these natural substances that make up part of a planet full of life, but fire and water specifically seemed to be flashing into his mind more. Something about this told him to look for fire and water and do whatever he could to get into these and destroy the source of fire and water.

Bardock was looking everywhere he could for an enemy of his. This enemy was Vegeta. He ended up on this other new planet. Far off in the distance there was bright white light. He wanted to stay away from that. Bardock hated light. Instead, he had to look for a place with water or/and fire.

While walking around for a while, he did end up finding a place that seemed to hold just these. It was a ruined city. This city still had a lake, but beside this lake, a house was still on fire. No life existed in this city anymore. Whatever happened here before must've destroyed everything.

Bardock walked slowly towards the lake and fiery building. He gazed over at them for quite some time and was deciding what he should do with them. He could maybe step into the lake or building, or just walk away and continue looking around for another way. What should Bardock do?

There is hardly anything left on the planet of Video Game Evolution, yet another Realm exists in which most of the others are within as they gain new powers and have to unite to protect a planet. The Grelukis planet is facing more turmoil both within the castle and outside of the castle. Other forces are coming to one of these planets soon and a killer is coming to destroy a link to a unison of great power. Will all three places become safe-free and will all characters remain to live on until they can return home?
