The atmosphere around Baskosh was tense and edgy. They were practically in a last stand scenario - the remaining cities had been abandoned, evident by the large colorful explosions in the distance, that Havicus' army was taking hits. But their position wasn't better, a tireless army upfront and the sea to their back.

Baskosh was a port-city, earning some of its income from the sea and trade. They were backed against the wall, but they atleast had Baskosh' navy to support them, incase Havicus' army would be too strong.

The overall situation was just desperate, they had alot of civilians and refugees in the city, along with most of the armies and soldiers of the other cities. They'd fight, because nowhere else to turn to, out of valor or fear, they would get the support - but will it be enough?

A large mist, encompassing the entire horizon, farther away was closing in on the city - the sign that Havicus had arrived. No sooner did the first undead appear from the mist, green eyes boring like a revenant' gaze.

"Alright! This is it!" said Will, to the gathered group on the wall: their friends and their 'current' allies.

"Watch eachother! Always have partner behind you! Stand together, and we will prevail!" said Angelo, cheering up the soldiers, alongside them.

"We're all ready!" said Irma, arriving with rest of the Guardians.

"So are we!" replied Martin, the Battle Warriors all ready and waiting.

"Okay. We need to draw Havicus out, he is strong - but he has a distinct vunerability," said Mia, summing up the situation. "Two Hearts are needed to defeat him - the Heart of Kandrakar and Meridian. Keep the line secure, and when we're ready - punch straight through and strike him down. Understood?"

"Yeah!" replied the group.

"Good...we got maybe a few minutes... don't waste them," said Mia, hinting at the obvious, as the group dispersed.

Each couple saying their good lucks and hugs to eachother: Will and Matt, Irma and Martin, Cornelia and Caleb, Taranee and Nigel, Hay Lin and Eric, Elyon and Angelo; Mandy, Alchemy, Mia and Cassidy aswell.

"Good luck...alright," said Cassidy, hugging the three girls.

"You too Cassidy!" replied Mia. "Mandy and Alchemy watch eachother. Cassidy you watch mine, you owe me that!"

"Sure thing..." laughed Cassidy, alongside the three.

"...disgusting..." said Havicus, eyeing the show of affection from afar. "CHARGE!"

As the echoing words reached the walls, the group could finally see the full-scale undead attack towards them.

"NEVER LOSE HOPE!" yelled Mia over the battlements, sending a wave of shadow lightning at the skeletons, obliterating the undead front and sending others reeling back.

"Oh yeah! Return to your graves!" added Cornelia, causing a large fissure infront of the horde, burying a good portion of the skeletons - before closing it shut.

But that didn't deter from more undead, joining the onslaught.

"Turn on the heat!" said Will, addressing Taranee and Hay Lin.

"Gotcha!" replied Hay Lin, creating a large vortex then combining it with Taranee' fire - creating a massive fire tornado, that send a good quarter of undead flying and on fire.

"Cassidy! Let's freeze these fools!" said Irma, getting an idea.

"You first!" replied Cassidy, Irma summoning massive amounts of water from the sea, then sending the tidal wave at the undead. Finishing with Cassidy freezing the entire horde stiff.

"That took alot!" said Irma. "Mandy! Let's see how loud you can get! Scream!"

"OoooAAAAHHHH!" screamed Phase, unleashing the strongest sonic scream she could muster. The windows and glass of Baskosh going first, everybody covering their ears at the sonic onslaught. Soon reaching the horde, the entire army vibrating in place - then shattering into pieces, as every undead collapsed into chunks.

"Woohoo! Nice screaming Mandy!" said Alchemy, helping her friend up.

"I don't believe it! No more undead!" replied Caleb, eyeing the mist - only Havicus remained. The city soon erupting into a cheer, the gathered armies aswell...except for Mia.

"This...this can't be it...Havicus' army couldn't have been this decimated..." mumbled Mia.

"What did you say Mia?" asked Elyon, caught-up in hugging Angelo.

"You think that was it Guardians?!" challenged Havicus, stepping out of the mist - alone.

"Your army is destroyed Havicus, and you're next!" replied Will.

"This? You misunderstand child! My TRUE army is beneath YOU..." said Havicus, unleashing a massive green aura around to the landscape, that reached the city and even out to the sea. "Now you face my TRUE power!"

The ground beneath them started to rumble, strong enough for every people to feel it. On the wall or on the ground, something large was coming.

"Cornelia! What is happening?!" asked Will, half screaming.

"Something is awakening! Alot is!" screamed back Cornelia.

Their horror soon realized, as thousands of skeletal hands bursted from the ground - in the battlefield, inside the city. Even from the sea, dozens of rotting ships appeared, filled with undead sailors - they were surrounded, the horror and screaming soon erupting.

"Is this it? Is this the end?" asked a trembling Elyon.

"No! It's not over!" said Mia, her eyes glowing purple. Everyone shadows suddenly sucked into Mia' form, as her body started to darken. Soon a shadow-dress covered her form, shadows aflame and moving - she had gone into her revanant from, Mia was once again the Shadow Beast. "Battle Warriors, Guardians save the city. Elyon, Will follow me I'll clear a path."

"Mia! You can't be serious?!" replied Elyon, seeing her big sister going into her dreaded form.

"Elyon! This is our only chance! Do or die!" replied Mia, her echoing voice a remembrance. Soon jumping down the wall onto the battlefield, annihilating the gathered undead there. "Come on! I can't hold this form out forever!"

"I love you!" replied Elyon, giving Angelo a kiss, before flying down.

"Take care!" added Will, kissing Matt aswell, then following Elyon down.

"Everybody! Protect the civilians, at any cost!" yelled Angelo, to the group and their 'allies', going to engage the undead in the city.

Down below, Mia was literally blasting a way through the undead, Elyon and Will flying after her. Mia' powerful attacks were working, yet both girls could see her form waning - she was getting tired, they all were.

"Almost...there!" said Mia, a few feet from Havicus' position in the sea of undead.

"Hurry!" said Elyon, keeping a shield on Mia' sides, to keep the skeletons at bay.

"I...damn!" said Mia, as her shadow form soon faded, and she fell on knees in human form. "GO! RUN!"

"I won't leave you!" replied Elyon, creating a energy-bubble to hold back the undead.

"You won't!" replied Mia, blasting apart the final few undead with a shadow-energy blast - revealing Havicus.

"So...you arrived," replied Havicus, eyeing the three troubled females.

"You're gonna eat those words!" said Will, knocking back the undead around Havicus with an energy-wave. "ELYON! NOW!"

"DIE!" screamed Elyon and Will, unleashing the strongest combined energy-beam they could muster. Hitting Havicus straight in the chest, sending him skitting a few feet...yet Havicus didn't fall. "Impossible!"

"The Oracle told you?" asked Havicus, holding back the energy-beam with his hand. "That fool! And you fools! He couldn't to anything!"

"Will...run..." said Mia, limping over to the two.

"I WON'T LEAVE YOU!" screamed back Will, trying to hold Havicus, who was slowly closing on them.

"Will...if the Heart of Kandrakar falls to Havicus...then no world is save from him...Elyon..." said Mia, looking Elyon in the eyes. 'Do it!'

"I'm sorry Will," replied Elyon, folding Will away from their location - leaving Mia and Elyon alone. The two rulers instead tried to hold back Havicus, with their exhausted magic.

"It's time the Meridian blood-line was...SEVERED!" said Havicus, unleashing a gigantic energy blast - ripping through their energy-beam and sending the two sisters reeling.

Meanwhile, Will was folded to a position, above the endless undead army - long enough to see Havicus annihilate Elyon and Mia, sending both of them flying as boulders at the wall, protecting Baskosh.

Will could barely scream, when it happened, the two Meridian' rulers and her close-friends impact the wall, with enough force to collapse the wall ontop of them.

"ELYON! MIA! NO!" screamed Will hysterically, tears in her eyes.
