Their screams could be barely heard, from under the rubble - Angelo screaming for his girlfriend, Cornelia for her closest friend, Will for her best-friend, Cassidy after Mia. The rest were speechless, trying to hold back the four emotionally hysterical persons, from charging head-first into the undead horde, that was pouring into the city.
Under the rubble, Elyon could feel the pain of her body, the marching of the hordes above and the screams, along the same line as her sister Mia. Both injured, yet they could feel through their link.
'Is this it?' asked Elyon, through their link. 'Our end? Us too weak, to stop an evil.'
'We can't give up Elyon,' replied Mia. 'Hope lasts and persists. And right now, a lot of people are counting on us.'
'Can we Mia?' asked Elyon, doubting herself. 'Will and I couldn't stop Havicus, not even our combined might did anything.'
'Yes...I saw it,' said Mia, agreeing with her sister. 'But what then? I can barely move myself - my energy is exhausted.'
'I can barely feel my energy aswell,' replied Elyon. 'Was the Oracle wrong? Is there no way to defeat Havicus?'
'Maybe we made a mistake? He said...two Hearts were needed - Hearts of Shadow and Light,' said Mia. 'Kandrakar isn't darkness and no shadowy force exists there.'
'Hearts of Shadow and Light...I'm not evil nor is Will,' said Elyon, regaining her strength to open her eyes.
"Mia?...wake...up.." said Elyon, through the pain, urging her sister awake.
"..El..yon?" asked Mia, a few feet away, buried under rubble. "..wer..e...ou..t...of..opt..ion..s."
"I..kn..ow.." said Elyon, coughing weakly. "Xe..nith?"
"I..don..t kn..ow.." replied Mia. If both of them went Xenith, they might be able to beat Havicus. But there was a chance, that both of them could be lost forever. Elyon had been once, and came back yet Mia was a different story. Her powers were of dark and shadow magic - there was a chance she could turn on her friends later, due to her nature. 'Wait! Dark!'
'Mia?' asked Elyon, confused about her sisters sudden mood change.
'Elyon - Light of Meridian. Mia - the Shadow Beast. Hearts of Shadow and Light. One chance, together?' said Mia, smiling weakly.
'Together!' replied Elyon, tapping into her Xenith form, yet not fully reaching it. Her sister following in suit - as the rubble under them started to shift and soon explode outward. "HAVICUS!"
"What?!" asked Havicus, seeing the Meridian rulers rise out of the rubble, that he had buried them under. His army stopping a few feet away from them.
"We aren't finished Havicus!" said Mia, a purple-black aura around her.
"Meridian's aren't known for giving up!" added Elyon, having a yellowy-white aura to her.
"ELYON!" screamed Cornelia in tears, seeing both of them alive, yet her joy soon turned shock. "Oh no!"
"Xenith!" said Cassidy, realizing the seriousness of the situation.
"Elyon! Mia! Don't! Its's too dangerous!" added Will.
"Your desperate!" laughed Havicus. "Xenith? Do you think, that can stop me?"
"No. Something even more powerful!" said Elyon. "LIGHT!"
"SHADOW!" added Mia.
"OF MERIDIAN!" yelled the sisters in unison, grasping eachother's hand. "COMBINE!"
'WHAT?!' realized Havicus...too late.
A split second, as the two figures bodies became a color of violet and white, and then a shockwave of energy followed - knocking everybody off their feet, undead or alive. The two colors twisting around eachother until a shining beam of gray light pierced the skies and illuminated the land, hiding inside it a power unimagineable.
"What's happening?!" asked Hay Lin, shielding her eyes from the light.
"It's Xaos..." said Angelo, realizing what was happening.
The beam soon to shrink, and started to be absorbed into something, retreating as it shrinked further and further - soon revealing a single figure in the centre. A young woman, long hair as white as snow, wearing white plate armor streamed with golden lines.
"Havicus..." spoke the figure, its voice a mix of Elyon's and Mia's. Opening her golden eyes and smiling, rising off the ground and crackling with gray energy. "You thought, we'd give up so easily?"
"Is...is that Elyon? Or Mia?" asked Irma, frozen by the sight.
"I...I think it's both," replied Alchemy.
"Impossible! That's was only a prophecy! It can't be true!" yelled Havicus, seeing the figure before him and feeling scared.
"It is true Havicus!" replied the figure.
"I am Mia Escador, co-ruler of Meridian, Shadow Guardian of the Dark Forest, older sister of Elyon," spoke the figure in Mia' voice.
"And I am Elyon Brown, ruler of Meridian, the Light of Meridian, little sister of Mia," spoke the figure in Elyon' voice.
"Together we stand - Hearts of Shadow and Light, opposite as day and night. Opposite and similar in our right, yet equal in our might, in the Guardians plight, the force of Xaos unleashed in...our...FIGHT!" yelled the figure in their mixed voice, tapping into the power of Xaos, grey lightning cracking between her fingers. "WE ARE XAOS!"
"I will destroy you! Nothing will prevent my vengeance!" yelled Havicus, unleashing a volley on green energy at the being Xaos.
"Together!" said Xaos, conjuring a gray energy shield, absorbing each blast and not faltering for a second.
"NO! ATTACK!" screamed Havicus, commanding his horde forward.
"Our turn!" replied Xaos, conjuring a gray energy-blade. Then charging at the horde...and cutting a swathe of undead into pieces.
"WOOHOO!" cheered the group on.
"GO YOU TWO!" yelled Cornelia on.
"Come on!" teased on Xaos, as she cut down undead after undead, her blade cutting through even the strongest skeleton. "My turn!"
Taking to the skies, changing the blade into a bow and starting to unleash a volley of energy-arrows at the undead army. Each arrow hitting the undead, dead-center and kept on pouring as rain. Havicus could see his army falling, one-by-one, as each soldier was brought down he couldn't revive - this magic was far beyond his own. His once endless army was slowly being brought down, each line falling by the second and soon he would be next.
"No! Obey me!" screamed Havicus, attempting to raise the fallen undead, only for them to crumple into bones again.
"Your time is at an end!" said Xaos, dissipating the bow, then cracking her knuckles. Then engaging Havicus...at close-quarter...by punching and kicking him.
"OH YEAH! That's my girl! Kick his ass!" cheered on Angelo, seeing her girl kick Havicus' butt.
Havicus could feel each hit and kick - actually hurting and breaking him, the hits were charged with magic - something he couldn't heal or defend against, not anymore. A punch, kick, an elbow, a knee and a hit, causing him much pain...until a final uppercut, knocked him onto the ground.
"No...I won't be beaten like this!" ranted Havicus, slowly getting to his feet, starting to conjure a green sphere. "I am Havicus! Undead Lord, I will not fall like this!"
"Like your love fell?" asked Xaos.
"What?" replied Havicus, hesitating for a sec...all that the sisters needed. Grabbing Havicus by his tunic and interupting his casting. "NO!"
"It's time to end this!" said Xaos, her hand crackling in gray energies and soon shocking Havicus with its power.
"AAHHH!" screamed Havicus, as he felt his power drained. His body enveloped in a gray light, the green color fading.
Then finally, it happened. Havicus' exsistence ceased, as he exploded into a wave of green energy, that enveloped the land. His army following shortly, as they crumpled into dust and bones, the risen army and sailors falling apart, they raised ships aswell. Their once green eyes exstinguished and leaving their bodies, as green lights into the sky. The green wave continuing beyond Baskosh, dissipating the conjured mist and turning the once barren landscape green again.
'We did it!' said Elyon.
'Yes we did!' replied Mia, seeing the enslaved souls free.
"Time to return back!" said Xaos, as she flew back towards the city, landing near her friends.
"MIA! ELYON!" yelled the group, rushing in for a group.
"That was awesome!" said Cornelia hugging Xaos.
"You kicked Havicus' butt! exclaimed Caleb.
"Amazing!" added Hay Lin.
"Nice!" muttered Irma.
"Come here!" replied Angelo, kissing Xaos, only for her to pull back suddenly.
"YUCK! Two people, remember!" said Xaos, looking distaint and embarassed.
Soon concentrating as Xaos' entire figure began to change color into gray, then split into two: a violet and white colored being and finally to an exhausted Elyon and Mia.
"Wow! That was something!" exclaimed Elyon, back into her own, personal body. "A weird and unique feeling."
"You can say that again Elyon. I just got kissed by your boyfriend!" exclaimed Mia, half-disgusted and half-laughing.
"We both did!" replied Elyon, then bursting into a laughter. "One way to end our journey."
"You can say that again," replied Mia, starting to laugh aswell, their group joining in on the laughter. All except for Angelo, who had an embarrased and blushing look on his face.

Three days later
So yeah. That's how it all went through - Havicus was defeated, and Felan saved, mostly...was that a journey to remember:
Having helped clear up Felan of the huge amounts of bones - me and Mia later revealed to the Oracle, having experienced some of Havicus' memories before he vanished, about Havicus' last moments: the former Councilor was already gone, the being we fought was just an empty shell of fury, vengeance and power. The Habicus they had known, had already died...kinda sad really, a man just wanting to be reunited with his love - that adventure would make me more cherish my moments with the friends I have.
Speaking of powers - me and Mia's little stunt, was that an unforgettable moment - well, minus Angelo kissing us...that was weird experience, good thing my sister is way to old for Angelo, otherwise that would've gotten akward fast. But the prospect of having access to that kind of power... well bad-guys better watch out, seemed that Xaos-powerwas very powerful. And I wouldn't mind saying, that this experience between Mia and me, has brought us a lot closer as sisters...
"Come on kiddo - jump, jump!" encouraged Mia, doing some agility exercises with Elyon and the Battle Warriors, minus Alchemy and Mandy, who weren't much into this kind of exercise - parkour.
"How do you guys do it?" asked a panting Elyon, trying to keep up, through the streets.
"Training!" replied Angelo, jumping over a fence of a nearby alleyway.
"Skills!" added Nigel, kicking onto the wall and over the fence.
"Instinct!" said Eric, front-flipping over it.
"Yeah right! It's your powers!" replied Mia, jumping onto the fence, then onto the railing, finishing with a backflip.
"You cheated!" said Martin, climbing over the fence instead.
"Like you guys don't!" replied Mia, chuckling a little. Then turning to the panting Elyon, on the other side. "Come on Ely. You can jump it!"
"You can do it sweety!" cheered on Angelo.
"Okay, okay," said Elyon, preparing herself by taking a few steps back. Then jumped-leaped onto the fence, trying to propel herself over it...only for her foot to get stuck and crash-land onto Mia.
"Ugh! Close enough!" replied Mia, getting the air-knocked out of her, and prompting the Battle-Warriors to laugh at them.
"I saw them go here!" yelled an annoying and familiar voice - Irma.
"Oh crap!" replied Eric, zooming away.
"Darn the girls can hold a grudge!" said Martin, flying away with Nigel.
"Later!" added Nigel, as he and Martin flew away.
"See you back at HQ!" said Angelo, kissing Elyon, then flying away aswell.
"What about us?!" asked Elyon.
"Got it covered," said Mia, drawing the shadows to cover them both, then placing a finger on both their lips. Soon enough, three girls appearing - Cornelia, Irma, Taranee. "Keep quiet."
"Sweet move Irmy! Making us treck through stinky alleyways!" said Cornelia, seeing nobody in the alleyway or on the other-side.
"I swear I saw them run here!" replied Irma, climbing onto the fence and looking about.
"Yeah right..." said Cornelia, kicking the fence, making Irma fall of it and onto the ground "...and I'm made of pixies and unicorns."
"You certainly, don't act like one!" replied Irma, eyeing Cornelia and looking annoyed.
"Alright you two. Quit it and let's go!" said Taranee, breaking up the two. "Come on! This grudge-holding isn't a good thing."
"Whatever!" replied Cornelia, leaving the alleyway, Taranee soon following with Irma giving second glances, before leaving aswell.
"That was close!" said Elyon, ducking outside the shadow-spell.
"I'll say!" replied Mia, dissipating the spell.
"The boys should really reconsider about the ban. This is getting a bit akward-ish," said Elyon, dusting herself off and helping Mia up.
"Hey - these are your groups problems, and I'm trying to act as the mature one here and not get involved," replied Mia, which soon prompted them both to laugh their face's off.
"You? Mature?" giggled Elyon to which Mia just shrugged.
"Let's head back," said Mia, turning into her Shade form - a more humanoid shadowy form with purplish glowing eyes. "This way is faster...and more fun."
"Won't you get spotted?" asked Elyon, an eyebrow raised. "In this day-time?"
"Nono..." replied Mia, shaking her finger. "I'm faster than Rush or Phase...and I can cloak myself. Also don't you want to see the city, during the day-time from higher?"
"Well...if you put it that way..." said Elyon grinning, then climbing onto Mia's back.
"Don't blink!" replied Mia, as they soon speeded away. Elyon could say, that she got a really good view that day - jumping from building to building, and nobody suspecting a thing.
