Entering the Door of Anger
As Alan and Nadia had soon came back from a long and perilous trip amongst the worlds, they noticed that something was out of place in the dark realm where Aranse stood guarding the Doors of the Heart as well were glowing as well. Alan then asked the red orb floating in space, "Aranse, what's going on here?" "Trouble my boy. I have reason to believe that your world is under attack once more by those infernal Viraltroopers.", Aranse said. Alan then asked, "How do you know that?" Aranse then said, "When I converted my body into matter i gained super abilities my people had never come across before. I can predict events just before they happen, I can tell who has darkness in their hearts and who doesn't, and I can also stop the flow of time and space if I wanted to, but only will do so if the event calls for it." Nadia then said, "Sound reasoning. I take it then they've doubled up on infantry and all that schtick." Aranse stated, "Even now, the Viraltroopers are doubling in number and are beginning to spread out onto your world. If they get every last person's heart on your world, it will shrivel to dust." Alan then asked, "How come? Doesn't our world have a heart?" Aranse then said, "No unfortunately. When your world was created, people were created to have the ability to choose between good and evil. When other worlds were created though, we weren't so fortunate. My people as well as countless other races weren't created like you humans to have both a numerous amount of good and bad qualities with them, which is what you would call sin. Instead, we were created to have some bad and good traits, but in the end our position as a being was chosen by that of a special force. That is where the Heart of the World comes in. It depicts which being is good or evil. At the same time the Heart of the World protects every world from darkness so long as it stays standing. The only protecting your world is a large number of human beings. Which is why if your peoples' hearts were to fall all together, your world would be destroyed as well because it would have nothing to protect itself. It's almost like having a human body with no white blood cells to protect your heart and blood."
Alan then said, "I'd like to find Oben or Obeion or whatever his name is and teach him a lesson. This guy has gone too far." Aranse then stated, "You know of him?" Alan nodded and said, "Back on Azeroth, Grogonopse said something about Obeion formally living on you planet during the Great War and when he developed a medicine for the Great Plague, more people died and he went mad himself when the Doors of the Heart were created. He used to be like you. I also fought a guy that looked like him, but turned out to be a dreadlord by the name of Xenaroth. Not to mention one of the knights, Pyraine briefly talked about him as well back at the Rulius Court or what's left of it anyway." Aranse then said, "Obeion was never trusted by my people. He was thought of as being a ruthless tyrant and nothing else. I guess it would make sense that he's got his name wrapped up in these events. He wanted to annihilate a whole race of people. Even when the council vetoed against it and he was banished we were attacked and I along with Obeion were the sole survivors of his onslaught. It makes sense to me now that he's behind all of this." Alan then asked, "Why's that?" Aranse then said, "For revenge my boy. Obeion was banished ever since the war for his theories of chaos and his extreme insanity and he vowed that one day we would all pay. Now he has the means to finish off all of my people and the whole universe along with it." Then as they said this, an earth shattering movement occured near the Doors of the Heart. Alan then asked as he and Nadia stared at the glowing doors, "What's happening?" "It's another of the Doors of the Heart my boy. Every time you save yet another world, they begin to glow. You've already entered and unlocked one door, now you must choose the next door that you shall enter through. There are the Doors to Happiness..." Alan and Nadia noticed a door glow an orange aura similar to the Door to Love glowing pink. "...the Door to Sorrow..." They noticed a blue door next to the Door to Happiness. "...the Door to Anger..." They noticed a red door next to the Door to Sorrow. "...and the Door to Fear." The last door that they noticed was black in colour and beside it was an empty space where the Door to Love used to exist. Alan then said, "I think we should go through the Door to Fear. It's always the smart thing to get rid of your fears first before anything else. Besides I think we're all due for some action." Nadia then said, "How about the Door to Sorrow? There's usually a lot of things that involve depression amongst a lot of people."
Aranse then stated, "I'd best advise choosing a door as soon as possible children. The Knights of the Realm may be recooperating, but they won't take defeat lightly. They'll do whatever it takes to outwit and destroy their foes in battle." Alan then said, "Well I guess that's it then. Door to Anger then?" Nadia nodded as she said, "Off to the Door to Anger." As Alan and Nadia headed inside the Door to Anger, Aranse then said as they went through, "The Door to Anger is very notorious for its deceptive nature. Any creature you may come into contact with may want to confront you and may try to lead you away from the light. But don't be fooled Alan, Nadia. These creatures are the Viraltroopers and have now taken on the form of regular human beings now as well." Nadia then said sarcastically, "As if we didn't worry about them enough already. Now they could take on the form of anyone we know from Earth." Alan then asked, "Is there a way for us to tell who's a Viraltrooper and who's a normal person Aranse?" Aranse then stated, "Your heart often knows the answer to that question my boy. Your heart knows how people on your world react to events and experiences in everyday life. I wish I could give you more information, but unfortunately that's all I can spare at the moment." Alan then said, "Not a problem. Let's go Nadia, we got a world to save!!" Nadia nodded and soon enough both Alan in his tree bark beige suit and cape and Nadia in her rose dress left for Earth to save it a second time from the forces of Darkness.
(Looks like trouble's brewing for Earth. Will Alan and Nadia be able to unlock the Doors of the Heart and save Earth before the Knights of the Realm get their hands on them? Stay tuned.)
