"Who is going to murder me?" Zhalia wonders to Zachary.
Jasmine steps back into the wall. She realizes now, why her mother didn't want to help Zhalia. She sees what her mother meant by Zhalia being unable to be helped. They couldn't help them, she said. She also remembers the stories her mother told her and how Emma explained the stories much differently from her mother.
"My mother..." Jasmine says, trying to control her breathing and her heartbeat. "My mother..."
Zachary lowers his head towards Jasmine. "Yes. The Queen of the Forest wants the key to have no one to protect because that would mean..." Jasmine interrupts him in saying, "The key will control the village which will help the Queen rule the world under her fist."
Everyone stares at Jasmine as she stares at the wall as well as Lok with shock in her eyes. She remembers her mother and Emma. They never got along and Emma never explained why. This is why. Emma knew that her mother was the one. The one to destroy the world. She wants the Key.
"She wants Emma." Jasmine whispers as Zachary stares at her with his own question for Emma.
'Are you sure Emma that she is the one?' He asks in his head waiting for Emma to reply to him if only she could. That would make this so much easier. Silence gathers around the room as everyone stares at each other. No one dares to say a word until someone has to break the silence to get a move on with life.
"So where is Emma now?" Eathon questions Zachary finally, breaking the silence between everyone. "I saw you take her away from the Waterfall. I know that the Organization doesn't have her."
"So you were the one I sensed at the Waterfall. Man." Zachary chuckles a little at the thought while rubbing his head, remembering the presence he felt at the Waterfall. "No wonder Emma said it was okay to come. She knew who you were and that you wouldn't harm me unless you had to which you didn't in the end."
"You can hear her too from the Waterfall, I mean." Eathon wonders to Zachary with a curious look on his face as he stares at the man that he just met.
"Yes and she gets annoying sometimes. I mean being in a waterfall for at least 3 years makes you life a little boring so you really have nothing to say to your brother. Only when she was in the Waterfall could I hear her. That Waterfall is a very special place that allows only certain people to hear from the inside." Zachary replies to Eathon with a chuckle. "You were the man in the Waterfall that Emma has been trying to free for so long, I can tell since you heard her as well."
"Yes, she escaped the waterfall only to be sent back." Eathon answers him as he lays his head on the wall behind him. "And now she is dying because of me."
"What are you talking about? Emma isn't dying. She is so much stronger now that she has escaped that Waterfall." Zachary stares at Eathon with a questioning look. "Emma knew all of this was going to happen as well. She knew that Zhalia would die and that she would be released from the Waterfall. Emma knew that she would be so terrible injured that she would have to remember the spell that she would forget once she entered that Waterfall."
"What do you mean she knew all of this was going to happen?" Dante and everyone else questions Zachary as Zhalia opens her eyes as she remembers.
"Emma can see into the future." Zhalia replies as she stares at Zachary.
"Yep. You remember." Zachary nods to agree with her. "She could tell us when Uncle would show up. When mom was hurt and no one knew about it. She even knew that this meeting would happen. That is why she invited the video because she saw you arresting me and well, i would be dead at this point."
"How can she see the future?" Sophie asks them.
"A titan that she has helps her dream of events that she needs to know about to change." Zachary answers Sophie. "Also she has the key's powers. That is one of them."
"So all this time," Lok glances at them. "Emma knew that Jasmine and I would go searching for the keys. She knew that Jasmine's mom would kill Zhalia. She knew all of this but didn't tell us."
Zachary rubs the back of his neck. "Well," Zachary signs at Lok. "Emma is not allowed to tell us about the future. She has to allow us to make our own decisions that leads to the future."
"What happens if she tells us?" Jasmine questions Zachary.
"She disappears." Zachary whispers lightly. "She just vanishes because she revealed something that she shouldn't have."
"So they give her this power to save people but she can't tell anyone about it." Lok and Dante reply simultaneously.
"Yes." Zhalia agrees with them. "She tried so hard not to tell anyone because Emma hates secrets."
"Alright." Harrison and Den clap their hands together. "What do we need to do now?"
Zachary takes a deep breath. "We have to help Emma."
"What do you mean? You have her don't you." Zhalia questions her brother. "Don't you."
Zachary shakes his head to her in reply. "The Queen has her."
"What?" Everyone screams in shock.
"How does the Queen have her?" Metz comes in to the conversation now.
"The Queen ambushed Emma and I. Emma made sure that I escaped because she needed me to get here to explain the message/ the video." Zachary explains to the group. "She knew that we are going to safe her. She just wanted to make sure that you knew what is going to happen to you Zhalia if we fail."
"Emma and I will either die or only one of us will." Zhalia replies to Zachary with her head held strong.
"Yeah." Zachary answers as everyone starts to head out.
Dante grabs a hold of Zhalia's arm and lets everyone out of the room. Zhalia stares at Dante in his beautiful eyes that show so much feelings in them. Dante pulls Zhalia in as their lips lock together. Dante and Zhalia stay there for a little while until Dante releases their lips.
"What was that for?" Zhalia asks him with a small smile on her lips.
"I will not lose you again. You are coming back with me this time, alive. Also we will get married finally when we return." Dante answers her.
He grabs her close to chest as he kisses her again before they head towards the helicopter to head to South America. Jasmine sits at the window as she stares at the Ocean appearing below them. She closes her eyes to hear Emma's voice, very faint but audio able.
"Jasmine..." Emma's voice appears in her ears.
"Emma..." Jasmine whispers as Emma's face appears in her head with a small smile.
"I will see you soon." Emma smiles as she disappears from Jasmine's mind.
"I know." Jasmine answers her as she lets a small tear fall down her face. "You are my best friend Emma, and you will always be that to me. Always."
The ocean soon changes into a rain forest that Jasmine recognize as her home. The helicopter soon lands right next to the temple where Jasmine's mother stands with a large army at her side. Emma stands tied up with blood dripping down her forehead, right next to Jasmine's mother. Jasmine steps off the helicopter as she stares at her mother. Everyone follows Jasmine off the plane to stand face to face with the Queen's army.
"Hello my daughter." The Queen smiles at her daughter.
"Hello mother." Jasmine states back to her mother.
"I see that you brought guess." The Queen smiles at her daughter.
"I see that you brought an army." Jasmine answers her while growling her teeth together. "Let Emma go."
"The Key." The Queen chuckles at her daughter. "You know that I can't do that."
"Let her go!" Jasmine screams at her mother. "She is not the Key."
The Queen smirks at her daughter. "I see that you have betrayed your own people for them. The people that have destroyed our home."
"You want to start a war mother." Jasmine fights back with her mother. "You are hurting Emma."
"She is just a key." The Queen blows off her daughter.
"She is a human being!" Lok shouts at the Queen in anger at that moment. "She is no key. She is a human being!"
The Queen rolls her eyes at the boy and walks over to Emma. Scars trace across Emma's body as they start to glow as the Queen moves closer to her. As the Queen's hands reaches towards one of Emma's markings, Emma starts to scream in agony.
"Emma!" Zhalia and Zachary scream as their sister screams in pain.
"You see," The Queen smiles at Emma's screams. "I have complete control over her."
"You monster!" Zhalia shouts to the Queen.
"Zhalia!" Emma yells as the guards slam her into the ground.
"Emma!" Jasmine screams in fear. "Stop!"
The Queen smirks at her daughter. Power surges through Jasmine's arms, body. She is in so much pain. The Queen bends down to Emma and whispers something as Jasmine fires a boltflare at her mother. The guards release Emma as she blocks the attack with a flick of her hand.
"Emma!" Lok and Sophie shout to her.
"Why are you helping her out?" Lok yells at her for an answer.
Zachary walks over to Lok and shakes his head. "That isn't Emma." Zachary states to Lok. "That is the Key."
"What?" Lok stares at Zachary with anger in his eyes and voice at that moment. "Emma is not an object!"
"No. That isn't Emma." Zhalia restates it to Lok. "The Key part of her that you have never seen has taken control now of her."
"What do you mean?" Jasmine asks them.
"Your mother is in control of our sister." Zachary informs Jasmine.
"Can we get her back?" Sophie wonders to them.
"Only Emma can do that by herself unless..." Zachary says as he looks at Zhalia.
"Unless what?" Dante questions what Zachary is thinking.
"I have to die." Zhalia replies to Dante's question. "She would no longer need to be the key."
"What?" Dante stares at Zhalia. "That is not going to happen."
"Well," Jasmine stands in front of her mother. "Then we have to make sure that Emma can wake herself up in time before we are all dead."
Everyone stands in front of the Queen as Emma stands protecting the Queen. Her eyes no longer show their beautiful dark blue color. They only show grey blank nothingness. The Queen laughs at the ten heroes standing there. They are no match for Emma but hopefully, she will wake up before anything bad happens to anyone. Den, Harrison, Metz, Zachary, Zhalia, Dante, Lok, Sophie, Eathon, and Jasmine stand shoulder to shoulder facing Emma.
"Good bye mother!" Jasmine yells as everyone including Emma and Jasmine's mother's army charges against each other.
This battle will never be forgotten. They just don't know what is going to happen in the end? Will Emma come to her senses or will everyone die at the hands of a dear friend? What is going to happen next?
