The Glade was going at full speed toward Castle Remembrance. Soon, there would be help to fend off this sneak attack from the villains who used the distraction of jYexrem's rage and Sasxe to keep their hands full with Oshujax. The truth had been revealed.
"Listen, Oshu, I'm sorry. For everything." jYexrem said apologetically.
"Save it. We must not worry ourselves with apology at this point. Right now, our home is under attack. We should be spending our time focusing on a counterattack to Dachxcirk and Saxihrn's plan." Oshu said coolly.
jYexrem and Rextly both agreed, as they began discussing with Oshujax about plans to fend off the enemies, now with the Glade on autopilot, still heading toward Castle Remembrance.
Meanwhile, the defenses had been nearly overpowered. Because Nixalcti and Xecah were losing their grip against the enemies, even WITH Sasxe's help, more and more Heartless flooded the castle. Almost every gate into the castle was destroyed. The defenses had to keep retreating to somewhere that wasn't eaten away by the dark powers of the Heartless. Slowly, but surely, Castle Remembrance was being destroyed. The valiant defense was being pushed back into the main room, the room that secreted the greatest thing that kept the Castle alive.
The Castle Throne Room. The room where jYexrem reigned as king. Bookshelves, containing all of the Order's history, from when they were human. When they were turned into Nobodies. When they joined the 18th Order. And beyond that. This room held everything precious about Castle Remembrance. If it was destroyed, then the Castle would cease to exist, and would be lost in the darkness. Every 18th Order member would be separated if they were lucky enough to live. Too bad for them, that would not happen. Dachxcirk, Saxihrn, and Broxcert had created a foolproof plan. Time was of the essence for what could be the Castle's three saviors in the Glade. But the cavalry had huge odds stacked against them, showing that they would probably be too late to save the castle.
Blaring echoed through out the bridge of the Glade. "What's going on?" Oshu exclaimed with a look of fear and desperation. Rextly ran to the main computer and typed quickly, looking for the problem. "We need to move, and fast! Full combat speed! Afterburners, full blast! jYexrem, Oshujax, Dachxcirk and Saixhrn are close to capturing Castle Remembrance!" "Say WHAT?" yelled Oshu. "ARE YOU KIDDING ME? THIS QUICK? GODDAMN IT, WHY IS IT THAT WE HAVE TO DO EVERYTHING?" roared jYexrem. "No. They're not alone. This is risky guys, but if needed, I can teleport out of here. Once I do, I'm on my own until I arrive at Castle Remembrance. jYexrem….Rextly….do you trust me?" questioned Oshu with a risky offer.
jYexrem and Rextly looked at each other. Rextly was shocked that Oshu would try something that looked so dangerous. jYexrem on the other hand, wasn't as shocked. He had a stern, focused look on his face, as Oshu awaited their response. "Oshu, are you crazy? I mean, you're awesomely powerful, but you shouldn't do this! You're not that strong now without your time p--!" Suddenly, jYexrem interrupted Rextly. "No, Rextly. Oshujax does not need his time powers to fight. Oshujax. You are strong enough to handle almost everything. You can keep up with me in a one on one fight. Though we never finished, our fight proves that you are strong enough to take a beating, and dish it back tenfold. Go. Get Oshujax as close as you can, Rextly. Oshu, get ready."
And then Oshu removed the Hybrid Cannons and the Scouter, along with the Guitar of Dewm. His Paladin Scimitar was surrounded by magic, and transformed, melding into a structure similar to jYexrem's Verumblade. "The Paladin Blade….fitting. I no longer need the Guitar of Dewm or these worthless toys that held me down. All I need is the Paladin Blade, a Data Generator, and magic, along with determination to conquer ALL opponents. I'm taking Castle Remembrance back, even if it kills me!"
Rextly and jYexrem nodded, both surprised at Oshu's removal of most of his arsenal. "But the Guitar of Dewm, Oshu, don't you need it?" questioned a concerned Rextly. "No. It needs no one in battle. I don't need it anyway. Neither did you, Rextly. So yeah. And remember: I'll be with you guys, fighting until the bitter end." Both nodded again. "Alright. Rextly, get in a little closer. I'm ready. I'm gonna punch a hole through their line of defense. You guys should be able to see it. Once you do, use the Glade to help you guys out, then obliterate the rest. I'll infiltrate the castle and stop Dachxcirk and Saixhrn. I just hope I'm not too late." Nixalcti…Xecah…Xiammes…Sasxe…my friends…hang in there…I'm coming!
When the Glade was close enough, Oshu took a deep breath, and used a large portion of his magic power to teleport away from the Glade, and to the land of Castle Remembrance, lying on its deathbed.
