That night. Axel, Mia and the boys reunited with Rab, Lance and the girls.

Veronica and Mia exchange glances. "Who is she?" Veronica asked. Erik stands beside Mia.

"Veronica, Mia. Mia, Veronica."

Mia smiles, "Hi, It's nice to meet you, Veronica."

Veronica returns the smile and puts her hands on her hips, "It's nice to meet you too, Mia!"

Lance looks to Erik, "Nice of you to be cured of the Shock. Do you lot know where to go?"

"Yeah. The beach nearby to catch a closer look.

The party and Lance had packed up the tents. But Lance got the group's attention. "Hey. I need to do something real quick. I'll be back soon."

Axel thought for a second... But nods, "Okay. Be careful."

As the group vanishes, Lance sighs. Something about that star had rubbed him the wrong way. And Veronica...why did she remind him of someone...?

He sighs as he pulls out a Chimera Wing. "The Battlefield." He calls out as he vanishes.

Upon reaching his destination, he sits on a rock and thinks. "...They are the ones who can save this world..." He utters to no one.

He stares at the ground, before turning his gaze to the world. He knew what he had to do. "I must find out who I am... And I will do so through them."

A day had past as The Party had restored Cetacea to her full power. Upon heading to Dundrasil to investigate a phenomenon there, Lance was visible, folded arms and cocky smile.

The party ran into him, "Oi! Where were you!? Where did you run off too?!" Veronica calls out in a huff, "We thought you simply abandoned us...!"

Lance shook his head, "Just tried to think stuff over..." He then unfolds his arms. "... I want to join you all on your worldwide adventure."

Everyone but Axel was a little confused about this. "I know it's strange for me to ask, since you lot barely know me. But there's answers I need, I can't find them alone and I believe that you're all going in the direction of those answers."

They look among themselves, except Axel who nods. "We'll need all the help we can get."

Lance looks with a smile. "So. Wherever you guys go, I'll follow. No abandonments from here on out." He gives a thumbs up. "Where's Mia?"

Erik itches his ear, "She's back at camp, she's been complaining of aches lately." Lance nods, "Alright."

Rab nods, "Aye, now we got ourselves a platoon. Calasmos willnae stand a chance!"

Axel and the group continue onward through the ruins of Dundrasil. The hole leading into the sewers was open.

The party enters and proceeds into the dark, dank sewers.

Axel remembers what will happen next...

Lance looks around, "I feel like we're being watched."

Sylvando nods, "Same here, honey. It's giving me shivers."

Rab nods, "Aye, it's that familiar presence..."

Lance hears something in the back of his head... Utterings of... Something.

"K I L L T H E M. D O M Y B I D D I N G,L A N C E L O T..." Lance holds his head gently.

Serena raises an eyebrow, she sensed something from him that was... unfamiliar to her, "Lance? Are you alright?"

Lance quickly nods, "Y-Yes, I'm alright."

The group walks into a huge room, the middle of the room was occupied by a monster, hidden by darkness, along with the mysterious knight. "Mmmm...This one's despair is still waning... Hm?" It turns to the small platoon comprised of our heroes.

"Ahhh, more lambs to the slaughter...!"

Veronica sees the Knight in distress, "Oi! Leave him alone, now! Pick on someone your own size!!"

The monster roars and reveals himself, he was something akin to a Lion with vampire wings and a lion's tail along with hiss white mane and purple face, his green eyes turn to glare at Axel, who was glaring in return, "Let...go of my father!!"

Axel draws his Sword of Light. Rab connected the dots, "Wait... King Irwin was killed in the sewer- Irwin!? Is that you?!"

The Knight turns slowly to face the party, "Lord...Robert...?" He is smacked away by the Lion-like monster.

"I, the Gloomnivore, shall make you all my prisoners and I will feed on your despair!! RAAAAWWRR!"

Everyone stands their ground before drawing their weapons, "Finally! A good fight!!" Erik shouts back before charging at the Gloomnivore. Lance ran beside him, firing off a Kafrizz.

The Gloomnivore dodges to the left, charging up a breath attack. Erik then slashes hard with a Sleeper Hit, but it was ineffective, and Erik is struck back.

Serena readies her spear, as does Jade. The two throw their spears like javalins and Serena and Sylvando both cast Kawoosh on the spears, causing them to spin at incredibly high speed.

The Gloomnivore sees it and was too big to dodge in time. The spears strike his side, causing him to slam into a wall, the spears return to Serena's hands through wind manipulation, she hands Jade her Poker back and the two exchange a smile.

The Gloomnivore gets up, the attack didn't even faze him.

He opens his maw, firing a ball of dark energy, Serena and Jade dodge, but during the evasion, Gloomnivore fires another Energy Ball. This strikes Serena, who is suddenly shuddering on the spoke, giving noises of discomfort and pain as she's paralyzed.

Sylvando was about to rush to her aid before getting hit with the same attack, "Gcch! O-Oh dear...!"

Veronica stares at the paralyzed duo before firing off a Kafrizz, but the Gloomnivore fires yet another Energy Ball that cancels out Veronica's attack and hits her, stunning her as well.

Rab powers up his Pearly Gates and launches it at The Gloomnivore, who is struck by it. Shaking off the pain with a groan, Hendrik strikes it from behind with an Unbridled Blade, earning a roar from Gloomnivore, who twirled around, slashing Hendrik and sending him flying.

He is then hit from the Paralysis Attack.

Jade, Axel, Rab and Erik stood side by side. "I will not kill you... I'm going to use you as sustanance...!"

He fires off a breath attack of pure darkness.

The wave came too quick and damaged everyone, earning cries from Veronica and Serena.

Axel growls before striking Gloomnivore with a blade of pure light emanating from his Sword of Light.

Gloomnivore growls, bashing Axel away before attempting to fire off an Energy Ball, but he's struck by Rab's Hardclaw.

Gloomnivore exhales fire, and Rab is knocked back hard, "Ack! Ya blighter!!"

Veronica tried to move, but she couldn't. She wasn't even easing up! She knew Serena was the same.

Jade readies her Lightning Spear but she misses, cursing aloud, she's knocked aside and a Paralysis Ball was heading towards her, but Erik takes the hit for Jade.

He's frozen solid. "Gch...! Don't worry...!"

Axel looks around in despair, Jade was weakened, Rab was knocked down and half his team was paralyzed.

Lance was tending to Irwin's wounds, "Who...are you?" Irwin asked, "I'm a friend of your son."

Irwin chuckled, "I knew it...he survived..."

Lance looks behind him, "Not for long! We need you up now!"

Irwin hears Axel's cry as he's smashed down into the ground. "Tell me, Luminary... Who is your most important person in life...? I shall enjoy taking them away from you..."

Jade gets up and sluggishly runs toward the Gloomnivore, "Haaahh!!" She is smacked away by the Gloomnivore once more, smashing against a wall hard, coughing up some blood due to the impact.

"No...!" Axel groans out.

"Ohhh? You won't tell me... Then I'll take your companions from you... Slowly!"

Suddenly the Paralysis turns into electricity and the party lets out cries of pain, causing Axel to wriggle about in panic. "No! Stop!!"

Gloomnivore absorbs Axel's despair. "Yesss...! Fresh Despair! Enough to last eons! How would you like to hear the screams of your companions for all eternity, Luminary!!" Gloomnivore increases the power and Axel cringes in despair as the screams intensify. Rab growls, "Ye... damn blighter!!"

Jade grew uneasy, She was too weak to help!

Lance roars suddenly absorbed all the lightning from everyone, slashing down hard on the Gloomnivore. Ending the screams and causing Gloomnivore to roar in pain. "LANCELOT!? YOU TRAITOR!!"

King Irwin jumps over Lance. "How DARE you hurt my son and his friends!!!"

Irwin slams his Falcon Blade down on Gloomnivore, slashing twice in quick succession before blasting him with Kafrizzle.

Lance draws a 360 degree angle in front of him with his arm, energy going into his hand, "Vibration Blaster!!"

He sends forth a powerful bolt of energy towards Gloomnivore, Irwin combos with a jumping slash, followed by a reverse straight slash.

Axel stands up weakly, before generating power in his hand, pepping up everyone. Lance cures everyone from the Paralysis. "Now!!"

Irwin kept Gloomnivore busy as Axel creates a sword of pure light. He throws it in the air, everyone throws their hands to the sky at once, energy shoots from them all, hitting the sword.

The ceiling breaks to reveal a dark blue cloudy sky, the Luminary Mark in the sky.

Axel jumps high in the sky. "UUURAAAAAGGGGHHH!" Axel roars as he swipes the Gloomnivore, Irwin flees from the zone as it combusts, devastating Gloomnivore.

The beast roars in agony as it falls to it's side, turning into vapour.

Everyone breathed heavily, hurting from the brief, yet excruciating torture of the Gloomnivore.

Suddenly, Irwin casted Omniheal, completely restoring everyone to health.

Axel walked to Irwin, taking off his helmet. "D-Dad?"

Irwin smirks, "Hey, Wee man. I knew you survived..."

Axel teared up slightly, "Jade...helped me...if it wasn't for her... Mum's sacrifice would of been..."

Rab walks forward, "It's good to see you, Irwin. Even it will be brief..."

Irwin nods, "Indeed..." He looks over to the group. "So, these are your friends?"

Hendrik salutes, "Yes your Majesty."

Veronica smiles, as does Serena.

Sylvando salutes, which surprised Hendrik.

Jade had also teared up as well.

Erik folds his arms, "Never thought I'd meet your old man, Axel."

Irwin smiles, "Unfortunately...I cannot stay...I must join Eleanor." Rab frowned.

Suddenly, a glow emanated behind Irwin. Eleanor walked beside Irwin. "Hello, Axel..."

Jade and Rab walk forward, "Eleanor? Is it really you?"

She nods, "Yes, father..." she hugs him, and he chuckled, "O' course."

She then looks to Axel, who was fighting back tears.

Eleanor opens her arms. Axel steps forward, hugging her softly, crying softly.

Veronica wipes her eyes, Serena did the same, As did Sylvando.

"Don't go..." Axel whispered.

Eleanor smiles, "My son...we will never leave you. We will always be by your side... In your heart..."

Irwin now stood beside Axel, in his formal wear. "We must go now, Eleanor."

Eleanor seemed to frown deep down... "Yes..." Axel lets go, wiping his tears away.

Eleanor and Irwin glow an incandescent light as they slowly levitate to the heavens, smiling upon Jade, Rab and Axel, and his companions.

"I love you, Axel..."

Rab sighs, "Farewell, my little Eleanor..."

Soon the incandescent light fades, leaving the group alone with a chest before them.

Axel opens it... It was Irwin's armour.

Axel looks at the helmet. The pinnacle of Dundrasil's armour design. It was much more shiner and more durable than his regular Dundrasilian armour.

After reequipping himself. He turned, the shine of the armour was strong, even in the dim lighting of the sewer.

Axel looked different. He had a new aura around him. One of confidence and willpower. "Come. We have a world to save."

The group nods.

Mia lies in a tent, her feet dangling on a stool as she waits. She hears the group and smiles. Axel comes into view first.

The sight was like seeing a Hero from a fairytale... Everyone walks beside him. Time seemed to slow down. Everyone was full of confidence, hope and willpower.

There was no way they would lose.

"Mia. Let's stay here tonight. Tomorrow, we will face Calasmos." Axel states and Mia smirked, "You got it!"
