Chapter 25: Heroes United
In the dark room, Zervik is talking to Shimo, Tensia, Homina, and Grim Reaper about a new mission the three want to be on and Nex is with the five.
"Shimo, are you certain you and your sisters can handle your mission and kill Ky this time?" Zervik asked.
"Trust me, Lord Zervik. You have nothing to fear. The Sinister Sisters are likely to succeed this time." Shimo assured.
"Hmph. I wouldn't make promises I can't keep. Remember your failure at that ninja world?" Grim Reaper asked.
"I'll pretend I didn't hear you. You also failed to get rid of Ky yourself." Shimo replied.
"Grim Reaper, you will accompany the Sinister Sisters and help them destroy Ky." Zervik said.
"I'll make sure they won't fail this time." Grim Reaper said.
"Coming from the bonehead who failed to kill Ky with living trees." Tensia said.
"How was I supposed to know they would escape?" Grim Reaper asked.
"Just do your mission." Zervik said.
"Of course, my lord." Homina said.
"You can count on us." Tensia said.
"Sinister Sisters, let us away!" Shimo said, as she disappears and the two follow her.
"Ta-ta, Zervik. Ky won't be able to win this time." Grim Reaper said, as he disappears.
"This is getting annoying... Ky keeps sealing Keyholes, keeps defeating the Black Xetis and the Heartless, and keeps defeating the Horned King's allies. Why won't he just DIE?" Nex asked.
"Don't worry. If they fail to kill Ky, you will have the pleasure of doing so. Or better yet, I'll have someone else do it." Zervik said.
"Whatever. As long as Ky stays out of my way." Nex said, as he leaves the dark room.
Nex goes through the hallway and then arrives at a different room, where he finds a dormant Pax lying on a bed.
"Look at you, Pax. You look even more pathetic. You were weak when you fought me and you lost your own heart to the Heartless. I dunno why the Horned King and Zervik even bothered to bring you here. You should've died along with Requiem City. Whatever. I'm sure they'll think of something for you." Nex said, as he leaves the room.
Meanwhile, Ky, Elena, Max, Tails, Blaze, Shadow, Storm, Kiyo and Zatch, Lucky, T.J., Sly, Bentley, and Murray leave Equestria and return to the space area while reverting back to their original forms and they start looking for a new world.
"Looks like another world saved and we got our first Light Crystal piece." Max said.
"Yeah. Now, time to look for the next world to help." Ky said and he finds another world with some villages and castles at the top, plains, a forest, and a castle in the sky, but the world is also covered in darkness. "Hey! That world has darkness around it!" Ky said.
"That would mean it's in trouble!" Zatch said.
"We gotta get there and save it now!" Elena said.
"That's gonna happen!" Ky said, pointing his Keyblade and creates another light trail and another light portal is created. "Let's go!" Ky said and the group follow the light trail and enter the light portal, taking them to the next world.
Meanwhile in a castle tower, the faerie woman from before is now overlooking at the sky that's purple, but just then, she sees what looks like a blue female cat like creature with two long antennas at the back of her head, long black hair, violet eyes, pink hands, and wearing a brown and tan robe running through a garden.
"STOP!" The faerie woman demanded, but the blue female cat like creature keeps running. "NO ONE defies ME!" The faerie woman yelled, as she throws a purple magic shot.
Just then, there is thunder roaring and lightning appears on the purple sky and the female cat like creature stops at an edge of the garden, but just then, a flying unicorn arrives and the cat like creature hops on it and they fly away, but as they keep flying, something attacks the unicorn and makes the female cat like fall off the unicorn and falls down from the sky.
"How disappointing... First that wretched Lupe, then the Aisha, and now the Acara?! How is this possible?! How can they resist my power?!" The faerie woman asked.
Just then, someone appears and the faerie woman turns to see the Horned King.
"What are you doing here?" The faerie woman asked.
"I see you have taken Faerie Land from Queen Fyora, but you have not located the Light Crystal piece." The Horned King said.
"It will be discovered along with the Keyhole to this world. I'm having my Minions helping the Black Xetis and the Heartless discover them. I even had some Black Xetis take over lands as I have unleashed my dark clouds." The faerie woman said.
"Excellent. Do not fail me!" The Horned King warned.
"How can you doubt me? Am I not called the Darkest Faerie? I have the power of darkness under my command. I will not fall as The Sorceress, Dark Raven, and even our attempted comrades have." The Darkest Faerie said.
"For YOUR sake, I hope you are correct." The Horned King replied.
"Do not fear, Horned King. The Light Crystal piece, the Dark Gem piece, and the Keyhole will be ours." The Darkest Faerie said.
Meanwhile, on a small beach area a yellow male wolf like creature with yellow eyes, wearing silver armor with a small shield shape that has red and blue crosses and a small crown like symbol in the middle, brown gloves, brown boots, and carrying a sword and shield on his back is drifting through the water with a log until he reaches the sandy land and sighs. As he starts to get on land, he hears a scream and it's the female cat like creature from before falling from the sky and landing on the sandy land of the beach and so the wolf like creature gets on land and runs up to the cat like creature.
"Hey! Are you okay?" The wolf creature asked, reaching the female cat like creature.
"No...not really..." The female cat like creature answered.
"You still look like you're in one piece to me. Where did you fall from?" The male wolf like creature asked.
"Faerie Land." The female cat like creature answered.
"Faerie Land?!" The male wolf like creature asked shocked.
Just then, the sky starts to turn purple.
"Oh, no! They've followed me!" The female cat like creature said.
"What followed you?" The male wolf creature asked and just then, two dragon like creatures fly from the sky.
Just then, Phantom Black Xetis appear from the sky and Shadow Heartless also appear from the ground, shocking the two.
"Oh, no! I've never seen them before!" The female cat like creature said.
"Neither have I!" The male wolf like creature said.
Meanwhile, the light portal appears in a crossroad area and Ky, Elena, Max, Tails, Blaze, Shadow, Storm, Kiyo and Zatch, Lucky, T.J., Sly, Bentley, and Murray fly out of the light portal and it disappears and the group start looking around the crossroads and while looking around, Ky, Elena, Kiyo and Zatch, and T.J. look at themselves and have changed appearances again.
Ky is now what looks like a tan furred wolf like creature with blue eyes, still having his dark brown hair with his bang, and still wearing his blue shirt, opened white hooded and black short sleeved jacket, dark green shorts, and his gold and crystal key necklace.
Elena is now what looks like a blue cat like creature with two antennas straight up on her head, still having her long light blue hair, and still wearing her violet sleeveless top, orange skirt, and her ruby amulet.
Kiyo is now what looks like a black and brown dog like creature, still having his black and brown hair, and still wearing his white shirt and blue pants.
Zatch is now what looks a small yellow fox like creature with downed ears, still having his lightning blond hair, and still wearing his blue cloak with the white bow and yellow jewel.
T.J. also looks like a tiny fox creature except he's brown and still has his brown hair, and still wearing his white shirt, green jacket, blue pants, and his red cap backwards.
"Looks like we've changed appearances again." Ky said.
"And neither of you guys changed." T.J. said to Max, Tails, Blaze, Shadow, Storm, Lucky, Sly, Bentley, and Murray.
"That's probably because of the magic of that portal and it never affected them." Elena said.
"That's possible." Tails said.
As they still look at their new appearances, Ky sees the sky and it's purple.
"The sky... It's like it's...plunged into darkness..." Ky said.
"That must be it. This is the world that's covered in darkness." Blaze said.
"Tails, you know what this world is?" Zatch asked.
"We're in a world called Neopia. It's a realm where creatures called Neopets live in peace, but now this world is covered in darkness. This must be the work of the Black Xetis and the Heartless!" Tails said.
"C'mon. We gotta find the Black Xetis and the Heartless and take care of them." Ky said.
"What about the purple sky?" T.J. asked.
"We should at least figure out how to get rid of it." Sly said.
"We'll find a way to take care of that too." Ky answered.
(Crossroad)
The group start to make their way through the crossroad to find any Black Xetis and Heartless, but as they keep moving through the crossroad, they arrive at a different area, which is the beach area and while still exploring, they see two figures fighting some monsters.
"Those aren't what I think they are..." Max said.
"Black Xetis and Heartless?" Kiyo asked.
"Let's take 'em!" Ky said, taking out his Keyblade.
As the male wolf like creature and the female cat like creature fight against the Black Xetis and the Heartless along with the dragon like creatures, Ky gets in front of the two.
"We'll handle this!" Ky said, ready to fight.
(Battle Theme: Fight for Neopia)
The Phantom Black Xetis shoot black beams at Ky, who retaliates with Thunder at the Phantoms and then uses Strike Raid on them and then slashes at the Shadows with his Keyblade, but the Shadows sink into the ground while the Phantoms disappear, but Elena uses her magic to lift the Phantoms and then throws her magic bombs while Max bashes the Shadows with his shield. The Shadows attack with their claws, but Shadow multi punches followed by a flip kick, but the Phantoms attack with their chains, but Kiyo has Zatch use Zaker while Storm uses Quick Attack and then tail whips, but Soldier Heartless appear while Zombie Black Xetis appear and attack, but Blaze attacks with her claws followed by a double flame kick while Lucky uses Egg Roll. The Soldier Heartless spin kick while the Zombie Black Xetis attack with their limbs, but Tails tail swipes and then throws bombs while Bentley throws sleep darts, allowing Sly to attack with his cane followed by a cane push, but the Soldier Heartless attack with their claws, but T.J. slashes with his knife while Murray delivers three punches, defeating the Black Xetis and the Heartless, but the dragon like creatures attack.
"Watch out!" The female cat like creature said, as she shoots magic bolts from her wand and strikes the flying dragon creatures, destroying them.
Just then, a giant dragon like creature attacks the female cat like creature with its fists.
"No! Look out!" The male wolf like creature said, as he attacks the brutish dragon creature with his sword and after a few slashes, the brute dragon creature vanishes.
Just then, Solder Heartless, Zombie Black Xetis, Air Soldier Heartless, and Vampirebat Black Xetis appear to attack.
"Hope you two are ready." Ky said.
"We are. Just lead the fight." The wolf like creature said.
The Soldier Heartless attack with their claws followed by spin kicking while the Zombie Black Xetis spin attack with their arms, but Ky slashes at the Soldiers and the Zombies with his Keyblade followed by Sonic Blade, but the Vampirebat Black Xetis dive attack at Ky and then unleash sonic waves, but Tails fly kicks at them and then shoots five shots from his blaster while Max uses Cyclone. The Air Soldiers air kick, but Elena casts Thunder while Kiyo has Zatch use Bao Zakeruga, but the Soldiers leap attack, but Sly attacks with his cane while Murray delivers two punches, but Zombies throw their arms, but Max uses Shield Boomerang while Shadow throws Chaos Spears while Lucky double kicks. The Vampirebats unleash sonic waves, but Blaze uses Fire Drill and then throws flame waves while T.J. dash slashes with his knife, but the Air Soldiers air dive, but Tails uses Fly Kick and then throws a bomb while Bentley throws an electric dart while Storm uses Skullbash, but the Soldiers spin kick while Zombies spin attack with their arms, but the wolf creature slashes with his sword while the cat like creature shoots more magic bolts, but the Black Xetis and the Heartless continue to fight back, but Ky uses Sonic Blade and then delivers his final blow on the Black Xetis and the Heartless, defeating them.
After the group defeat the Black Xetis and the Heartless, everything in the beach is clear and no more enemies appear.
"Are you all okay?" Ky asked.
"I'm fine now. Thanks." The wolf creature answered.
"So am I." The cat like creature said.
"That's good." Ky said.
"Who are you all exactly?" The cat like creature asked.
"My name is Ky." Ky introduced.
"Elena." Elena introduced.
"Max." Max introduced.
"I'm Tails." Tails introduced.
"Blaze." Blaze introduced.
"Shadow. Shadow the Hedgehog." Shadow introduced.
"I'm Kiyo Takamine and this is Zatch." Kiyo introduced himself and Zatch.
"Zatch Bell! Nice to meetcha!" Zatch said.
"T.J. Detweiler." T.J. introduced.
"Sly Cooper." Sly introduced.
"Bentley." Bentley introduced.
"Murray." Murray introduced.
"And these are Storm and Lucky." Ky introduced Storm and Lucky.
"Nice to meet you all. My name is Tor. Sir Tor, I guess. I'm a knight." Tor introduced.
"And I am Roberta. Thank you all for helping me with that fight. You all are quite skilled." Roberta said.
"Thanks. You're pretty amazing with your own magic." Elena said.
"Thank you. That was actually the first time I have to..." Roberta cuts herself off, as she sees an amulet around Tor's neck. "You have the other amulet!" Roberta said.
"The other amulet?" Tor asked confused.
"What do you mean?" Ky asked.
"The Aisha, who gave me this told me to find its twin. She said it's important." Roberta explained, showing the group her amulet.
"Well, a beggar gave me this and he told me to never take it off." Tor said.
"Wait. Now I'm confused. What are you talking about?" Murray asked.
"Do you have any idea why the sky is like this?" Tails asked.
"Yes. You see, Faerie Land is in big trouble. There's this twisted faerie..." Roberta begins explaining.
"Wait. The darkest one you've ever seen?" Tor asked.
"You've seen her too?" Roberta asked.
"Yeah and she's taken Meridell as well." Tor said.
"A darkest faerie?" Blaze asked.
"Yes and she needs to be stopped." Roberta said.
"Well, if she's a threat, any chance we can help you two?" Ky asked.
"That would be wonderful. Thank you, Ky." Roberta said.
"So where do we start?" T.J. asked.
"Well, my uncle is the King of Brightvale. He's very wise. If there's any help we can get, it's there." Roberta said.
"Okay. Sounds good to us." Ky said.
"As long as this darkest faerie or the Black Xetis or the Heartless hasn't gotten there first, let's go there." Max said.
(World of Neopia)
(Field Theme: Brightvale Corssroads-Corrupted)
Ky, Elena, Max, Tails, Blaze, Shadow, Storm, Kiyo and Zatch, Lucky, T.J., Sly, Bentley, Murray, Tor, and Roberta start to leave the beach and make their way to Brightvale.
"So which way is to Brightvale?" Shadow asked.
"Since I'm from Brightvale, we need to follow the road to the right and we'll see the city." Roberta said.
"Okay. Lead the way, Roberta." Tails said.
The group follow Roberta through the road to the right and they make their way back to the crossroad, but Heartless appear and attack, but the group defeat them and Tor helps by slashing with his sword while Roberta casts her spells to defeat the Heartless and the group continue on through the road until they see some banners that have a shield like shape that's white and green and with a yellow start like symbol on the middle and arrive at a different area.
(Field Theme Brightvale Outskirts)
(Brightvale Outskirts)
"We're getting close to Brightvale. Let's hurry." Roberta said.
The group continue to follow the banners and as they keep following the banners the purple skies are starting to get clear and they assume that the dark clouds are not around Brightvale yet and so they continue to move through the outskirts until they stop at a castle wall and there are two dragon like creatures, who act as guards.
"Halt! Who goes there?!" One of the guards demanded, pointing his spear at the group.
"It's just me." Roberta said.
"Ah, Lady Roberta. Welcome back. We didn't recognize you because you didn't arrive in your carriage. Please enter. Your new friends are also welcome." The other dragon guard said and the group go through the castle walls to enter Brightvale.
Meanwhile, the Darkest Faerie watches Ky and his friends going with Tor and Roberta to Brightvale.
"That wretched Key child is in this world now! I cannot allow him to find the Light Crystal piece and seal the Keyhole here! They must be dealt with!" The Darkest Faerie said, as she summons a grey dog like creature wearing a brown hooded robe.
"Ah, a new customer. How may I be of service?" The dog like creature asked.
"Rumor has it that you are best at what you do. I need your services." The Darkest Faerie said.
"My prices are quite high." The dog like creature said.
The Darkest Faerie then summons lots of gold.
"Ah, yes. Your offer is generous. I shall take care of your problem immediately." The dog like creature said, as he vanishes in dark smoke.
(Field Theme: Brightvale Village)
(Brightvale Village)
Meanwhile, the group are now at a city.
"This is it. Brightvale." Roberta said.
"Cool. Where's your uncle?" Ky asked.
"The castle is just up ahead. Let's hurry." Roberta said.
The group start finding the castle in the city and while searching, they find a huge castle and and assume that it's the Brightvale castle and enter it.
(Field Theme: Brightvale Castle)
(Brightvale Castle)
The group are now in Brightvale castle and while exploring around the castle, they see a yellow lizard like creature wearing fancy green clothing.
"Lady Roberta! You have returned!" The lizard like creature said.
"Yes. Please inform Uncle Hagan of my arrival." Roberta said.
"Of course." The lizard creature said, as he opens the doors, revealing a green dragon like creature with a yellow mustache and beard, wearing green royal clothing, brown gloves, and a crown sitting on a throne. "My most esteemed lord and master. King Hagan of Brightvale! May I present your niece and premiered diplomat; the most gracious Lady Roberta!" The lizard like creature informed.
"He knows who I am." Roberta said, as the group enter the throne room.
"Roberta! I have not seen the carriage arrive! What news in Faerie Land? Good news I trust?" King Hagan asked.
"Faerie Land has fallen, Uncle! Overwhelmed by the same forces that have overwhelmed Meridell." Roberta answered.
"But that's impossible! Queen Fyora was our only hope. We must get Seradar on this right away!" King Hagan said.
"He has fallen as well, Uncle..." Roberta said.
"The clouds change Neopets, Sire. It drives them mad. Your sorcerer is now one of them." Tor said.
"So that's how the purple clouds are... They can even corrupt the hearts of others like the darkness." Ky said and the others nod.
"Then there is no hope. My adviser tells me that the clouds will be upon us in less than three days. The clouds have already reached Bogshot and Market Town." King Hagan said.
"There is hope, Uncle. These amulets Tor and I wear offer protection against the clouds and we are charged to keep them on us at all costs and Ky and his friends are somehow not influenced by their power. If we can just go into the clouds and find the source of their dark magic, we'll might just find a way to stop them." Roberta said.
"This is rather dangerous for a diplomat. Maybe someone else should..." King Hagan was cut off by Roberta.
"I never wanted to be a diplomat. I'm a sorceress now." Roberta said.
"To be fair, Your Majesty, we've seen her help us fight against the Black Xetis and the Heartless. She's really good with her spells." Elena said.
"I agree. She really is." Tor said.
"Then...I have little choice in the matter. So be it. You are all charged as Champions of Brightvale! You are to find the source of this evil and put an end to it!" King Hagan said.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Ky said.
"I have another task for you." King Hagan said.
"Yes, sir?" Tor asked.
"Take good care of Roberta." King Hagan said and the group nod.
After the group talk to King Hagan, they leave the throne room.
"So what's first?" T.J. asked.
"Well, first things first, we need to do some research to see if this has happened." Roberta said.
"But where can we find information on purple clouds?" Max asked.
"Tor, you have books in Meridell, right?" Roberta asked.
"King Skarl does have a library, but he just uses it to impress princesses." Tor said.
"Well, Brightvale is very prideful with its studies." Roberta said.
"Do you think this library will have good information?" Elena asked.
"The library particularly has almost every book ever book written. There has to be something there. Come on." Roberta said.
(Brightvale Library)
The group make their way to the library and they look around to find any books to help them with their research.
"So what books can tell us about those dark clouds?" Zatch asked.
"The books on the upper shelves hold many tales of forgotten lore. They should be a good place to start our research." Roberta said.
"But they're out of reach..." Tor said.
"That won't be a problem." Tails said, as he uses his two tails to fly to the upper shelves and takes the big books and flies back down.
"Nice work, Tails. Now, which one should we start with?" Ky asked.
"Let's start with this book first." Roberta said, pointing at the first book that says 'The Darkest Faerie'.
"Sounds good to me." Elena said, as she opens the book. "'With the power to conjure nightmares, the Dark One tried to seize the city, but was repulsed. She returned, having greater powers and destroyed the city she helped found...Altador.'" Elena read the first book.
"Altador? If I recall from my history lessons, Altador was a legendary city that disappeared a thousand years ago." Roberta said.
"That makes that faerie REALLY old." T.J. said.
"We should find out more about this Darkest Faerie." Kiyo said.
"Maybe this book'll help us." Tails said, pointing at the second book that says 'The Destruction of Altador'. "' Too late to save the legendary city of Altador, Fyora attacked the Darkest Faerie. In the end, it took the most powerful magic of Fyora's Rod to stop the Dark One's advance.'" Tails read the second book.
"So it was Queen Fyroa who defeated the Darkest Faerie all those years ago." Roberta said.
"This book also says that Fyroa's powers alone could not defeat the Darkest Faerie. It was the help of an artifact called 'Fyora's Rod' that was able to stop her." Tails said.
"If we find Fyora's Rod, then we can stop the Darkest Faerie!" Ky said.
"But the question is where is it?" Murray asked.
"I think this other book should be able to tell us that." Kiyo said, looking at the third book that says 'The Kings of Meridell'.
"What does it say, Kiyo?" Zatch asked.
"'Saddened by the King's great loss and touched by his noble sacrifice, Fyora presented him with the greatest gift she could offer; her Rod. The King gratefully took it and understood how powerful a legacy had been placed in his hands. It was then placed in the place of honor within the Great Treasure Vault.'" Kiyo read the fourth book.
"So Queen Fyroa gave her Rod to an ancient king of Meridell for his noble deeds." Roberta said.
"That should mean the Rod has to be in Meridell somewhere." Tor said.
"The book said the Rod was placed into the Great Treasure Vault." Kiyo said.
"But where is the Great Treasure Vault?" Sly asked.
"This book should be able to answer your question, Sly." Bentley said, looking at the fifth book that says 'Meridell Castle: A History'. "'After the Great Sinking followed by the Great Burning and after the Great Splashing, there was a great wailing from the people of the fourth castle as they realized the Great Treasure Vault had been buried for all time. The Kings of Meridell wept for a very long time.'" Bentley read the last book.
"That's it! The Great Treasure Vault is buried deep under the castle of Meridell!" Roberta said.
"Now I get it. To stop the Darkest Faerie, we need Fyora's Rod, which is located in the Great Treasure Vault that's buried in the castle of Meridell." Ky said.
"We just need to get to the castle dungeons and get the Rod!" Tor said.
"The Darkest Faerie won't know what hit her!" Max said.
"Then let's get to Meridell!" Elena said.
"We should hurry there too." Shadow said.
The group leave the library and then leave Brightvale castle and they return to the outskirts of Brightvale.
"So do we need to go back through where we came in order to get to Meridell?" Zatch asked.
"That's right. The Brightvale Bridge is just down this road from where we met near the beach." Roberta said.
"So it's the only way to get to Meridell. Let's get going." Ky said.
The group start to move through the outskirts, but just then, Ky starts to feel uneasy.
"Ky, what's wrong?" Blaze asked.
"Something's not right..." Ky said.
"Children?" A voice asked and the group look around to see who said it.
"Show yourself!" Ky demanded, taking out his Keyblade.
"She sends me out to kill children?" The voice asked and just then, the dog creature from before appears.
"Huh? Who're you supposed to be?" T.J. asked.
"Some call me the Gelert Assassin. I've been sent to kill you." The Gelert Assassin said.
"Yeah? We'll see about that." Ky said.
"Oooh. Such bold words. I'll promise you one thing, I'll try to make your deaths painless." The Gelert Assassin said, taking out his sword.
"I'd like to see you try." Ky said, getting ready to fight.
"So you're my first victim? Very well. Let us have some fun." The Gelert Assassin said.
"Ky..." Elena runs to Ky, but just then, a barrier blocks her path.
"Not so fast. You'll have to wait your turn to die." The Gelert Assassin said.
"Like Ky's gonna die by your hand! Ky, give that assassin a taste of your Keyblade!" Murray said.
"Yeah! Show 'im no fear, man!" T.J. said.
"Shall we start?" Geleart Assassin asked.
"Your move." Ky said.
(Battle Theme: Night of Fate)
The Gelert Assassin throws knives at Ky, who blocks them with his Keyblade and then casts Thunder, but the Gelert Assassin disappears into the ground and then reappears behind Ky and tries to slash him with his sword, but Ky blocks the attack with his Keyblade and then tries to slash with his Keyblade, but Gelert Assassin disappears again and then reappears and throws knives again. Ky deflects them with his Keyblade to make them go right back at the assassin, who dodges the knives and then slashes with his sword, but Ky counters and attacks with his Keyblade followed by Spin Slash, but Gelert Assassin disappears again and then reappears and attempts to slash with his sword. Ky moves out of the way and then casts Fire, but Gelert Assassin dodges the fireball and slash charges at Ky, who uses Slide Dash and then uses Edge Slash, but Gelert Assassin disappears again and then throws knives again, but Ky blocks them and uses Strike Raid, but Gelert Assassin slashes with his sword again, but Ky counters and attacks with his Keyblade, but Gelert Assassin blocks the attack with his sword and the two are now clashing and are struggling against each other.
"Ky!" Elena said.
"We gotta help him!" Max said.
"But the barrier is in our way!" Shadow said.
"Hmm. You're almost hard to kill, even for a child. I'm almost impressed." Gelert Assassin said.
"Like I'm a pushover!" Ky replied.
"Who goes there?!" One of the guards demanded and Ky turns to see the Brightvale guards.
"That's one of Lady Roberta's friends! He's being attacked!" The other Brightvale guard said and they charge at Gelert Assassin.
"Hmm. It seems that fate and larger numbers have granted you a reprieve. That doesn't matter to me. I'll return in a more convenient time." Gelert Assassin said, as he sheaths his sword and teleports away.
"Hey! Get back here!" Ky demanded, but the assassin is completely gone.
"Ky!" Elena said, running to him.
"You okay?" Tails asked.
"Yeah. No trouble." Ky answered and the guards run to the group.
"The ruffian has disappeared. You'd best be on guard." One of the guards warned.
"We will. Thanks." Ky said.
"We should make our way to Meridell now." Blaze said.
"Yes. We must hurry." Roberta said.
"Then let's make haste." Ky said and the group start to make their way through the outskirts of Braightvale.

For those of you who know about this, you'll know what I'm talking about. Anyway, next time, Ky and his friends attempt to get to Meridell, but they encounter a problem at a swamp and by the time they actually get to Meridell. I'll see you all in the next chapter.
