Wow it's been a while hasn't it. So sorry that it took me so long, my life got really busy. Thank you all who reviewed. You guys really helped encourage me to continue this story.

I would also like to thank my beta, SpiritBird1A. Anyways since it has been a while I am going to do a quick recap to. If you remember then feel free to skip it.

.

Ryner is a god of destruction that was banished and sent to live as a human.

.

Sion learns of a banished god that is mortal and decided to kill him to get his powers unaware that the god is Ryner. Ryner deices to keep it a secret from Ferris and Sion.

.

They travel to see an Oracle who will tell them where the banished god is. On the way they learn that others are after the banished god.

.

They arrive at the Oracle's cave and wait for the next day then Sion and Ferris go into the cave. (Ryner makes an excuse on why he can't go). There they figure out that Ryner is the banished god….

.

Alright then! On to the story!

.

I don't own The Legend of The Legendary Heroes but if I did I would make a second season.

.

"It's true, isn't it?" Sion asked numbly. Although now this information has been brought to light, it wasn't really a question that needed confirmation. It just sort of made sense. "Ryner is the banished god."

"Yes," The oracle answered with a slight nod. Sion knew deep down that it all added up now. How distant Ryner seemed to be lately. How he kept mentioning that he would be the one to find and kill the banished god. It just didn't seem real yet. Ryner had and always will be that lazy guy who takes naps all the time. A person like that could never be a God. Then again, it's starting seem more and more like he'd never been a person to begin with. "Now Sion, what will you do? Is your will as strong as you think it is? Can you kill your friend?"

.

Sion felt like he was suffocating. He talked so much about killing the banished god, and this whole time it was Ryner! How Ryner must have felt hearing those harsh words out of him. What was he going to do? God or not, could he really kill his friend? End Ryner…?

"He won't die." Ferris said bluntly, disrupting Sion's thoughts. Sion looked over at Ferris solemnly.

"Ferris..." He said softly.

"No," she growled. "If you even think of betraying him, I will stop you." She said determinedly and unsheathed her sword to further show her resolve. As she came to point her sword at Sion, Sion reached out a hand and took her arm to stop her, noticing as he did that her hands were slightly shaking.

"If we don't kill him, someone else will." Sion said trying to convince Ferris. But it wasn't just Ferris he was trying to convince. He was also trying to convince himself that he was justified to kill his friend in order to save the world. He always thought it would be an easy choice to make. In exchange for the life of one person, he could save the lives of thousands. Logically it was the right choice, to save the thousands of lives at the price of just one. Because what's one life balanced against a thousand? But he never thought that the one life was going to be his closest friend, and weighed against thousands of total strangers, what weighed more?

"Then protect him." She demanded angrily, ripping her arm out of Sion's grasp and keeping her sword at her side. "He doesn't need to die by human hands. Can't he just die like a normal person with old age or sickness?"

"If that were to happen, his power would remain in his body until someone touches him." The oracle said, finally jumping into the conversation. "If he is buried, his power would leak into the ground and consume the land until nothing is left. Ultimately, it would only be a matter of time before the world is thrust into full peril." It was quiet for a few seconds before the Oracle continued. "The sun is setting. Make your decision soon and return through the doorway…Else be stuck here forever. I trust you'll make the right decision." Her words were met by silence as Sion thought everything over. In that deafening silence, the oracle seemingly disappeared without a word, leaving Sion and Ferris to figure out what they wanted to do.

"There's no way around it." Sion finally whispered. He was still in turmoil. The proverbial scale in his head was still tipping and swaying, trying to make up his mind. Save his friend, save thousands of lives. One would eventually weigh over the other. The scale seemed to have almost made its decision as it was now slowly tilting back and forth and was starting to lean more towards saving the thousands of lives.

"And why should I care?" Ferris snapped. Her scale obviously leaned more towards saving her friend then it did saving thousands of innocent lives. "There's no reason he should die now."

"If I try, you will try to stop me?" Sion asked softly. He knew the answer. It was obvious.

"If you try and kill Ryner, I will kill you." She stated raising her sword to make it clear how serious she was. Her eyes were colder than Sion had ever seen them before. Honestly, he was surprised Ferris was acting this way towards Ryner. In his eyes, it always seemed like they continuously bickered about dango, naps, and other inconsequential things. You'd think there wouldn't be room to evolve a friendly relationship. Or maybe that's just the kind of friends they were; the kind that playfully bicker with each other. Sion closed his eyes and dropped his hand to his side. He tried to calm his breath as well as collect his thoughts.

"Say we spare him," Sion proposed, trying his best not to sound too hopeful. Like it was even an option they should consider for the sake of the greater good. "What then? Someone else will kill him or he'll die of a natural cause. Either way, at some time his powers will destroy us all. It's inevitable."

"We protect him." Ferris said almost pleadingly finally putting her sword away. "At least until the time comes in the future where there is no other choice, and then we have to kill him. Even if he dies of a natural cause you can still get his power that way. You, no, WE just have to protect him from those other people until that time comes! Please Sion, this is Ryner."

"I know…that's what makes it so hard." Sion said quietly. It was suddenly deafening quiet in the cave. The only sound one could hear were the staggered breaths of the occupants of the cave. Droplets of water would drip from the ceiling, splashing to the ground with a barely audible clink.

"What will you do?" Ferris finally asked worriedly. Sion didn't answer. His eyes were blank as his mind turned inwards and resumed its struggle to make the right decision. While that scale in his mind kept tipping towards innocents, his heart was trying everything it could to tip it towards Ryner. Why couldn't there be a way where everybody wins? A way where Ryner doesn't have to die and innocent lives are at stake.

Ferris sighed in frustration and grabbed Sion by the scruff of his shirt roughly.

"The Oracle said the sun's setting." she said bluntly as she started to drag him to the cave's exit. "We've wasted too much time already. We're leaving. We can talk about this outside. Becoming trapped here won't change anything." Sion didn't respond as he staggered after her out of the cave and into the narrow hallway of the cavern. His mind was still spinning desperately trying to find a solution. Still there was none. None of his thoughts would lead to that one answer he was so desperately hoping for. It seemed like the scale would forever tip back and forth and never make a decision. By then though, something already would've happened and he'd have failed at both options.

As they got closer to the entrance of the cave, his heart quickened with the realization that once he was outside, he would have to make his choice. He wanted to stop, wanted to go back to last night where everyone was laughing and talking. Ryner's words from that night suddenly went through his head.

"Look, I'll explain things when the mission is over. It'll make more sense then."

Sion let out a dry laugh that sounded more like a cry than anything else. Ferris shot him a half worried half suspicious glance. How naïve was he? He spent the whole time pushing them forward in a rush. He basically forced Ryner to walk to his own execution and now he was going to be his executioner. His own friend… Sion closed his eyes. He wanted to disappear. He wanted nothingness. In the darkness behind his eyelids, he tried to empty all his emotions. He had to do it. There was no other way. He had to kill his friend. With that realization his body went limp as he was dragged along, the scale having finally made a decision.

.

Ferris glanced behind her. Sion had suddenly gone limp. She found him with his eyes closed and a blank expression on his face. She frowned at this and turned forward, her mind reeling, trying to figure out what to do next. Sion would not kill Ryner. She would make sure of that. Truthfully, she wanted nothing more than to abandon Sion in the cave and just escape with Ryner. And she would've done so if not for that one part of her that believed Sion would never hurt Ryner.

So instead, she was going to monitor their conversation. If it takes a turn for the worst, she would force herself to either kill Sion or escape with Ryner in the mist of confusion. Either way, Ryner would not die. Ferris didn't care if killing Sion was the only way to make that happen. She didn't care if the whole world was in danger. No one was going to kill her Ryner. No one would even have a chance to get close enough to touch a hair on his head.

Ferris almost paused as her chest started hurting. When did Ryner become this important? She didn't know, something had been growing slowly, but what happened last night really changed something in their relationship. Although she always teased him about being a pervert, last night was really the first time he had made any move towards her. He had reached out his hand and took hers. Did he do that because he thought he would die? Or was it something else?

"You don't need to worry about me. Just relax, everything will be fine."

He had said that so confidently that she believed it. Now that she knew the truth, she felt angry. What did he mean by 'everything would be fine'? Did he believe his death would mean nothing to her? That she would move on as if nothing important happened?

"I promise I won't die by the hands of the banished god"

She clenched her hand that was around Sion's shirt. His promise meant nothing. Of course he wasn't going to be killed by the banished god. He is the banished god. He thought he was going be killed by Sion and her. She took a deep breath to calm herself. She would let this anger go away for now. Once she had made sure Ryner was safe from everyone, she would beat him to a pulp for even daring to think that she would kill him.

Up ahead, she saw the exit. She stopped and took a deep breath before walking through, pulling Sion with her. He hadn't said a word; just let himself be dragged around by Ferris. Once on the other side of the gate, she found, like the Oracle had said, that the sun was indeed setting. She let go of Sion and he plopped to the ground as she looked around for Ryner.

It took her a moment, but it felt like forever when she found him sleeping under the cool shade of a tree. Ferris paused briefly, wondering how Ryner was able to sleep at a time like this.

She started to take a step forward towards him. Relief filled through her seeing he was still alright. Here, nothing seemed to have changed. Perhaps it was all a dream; Ryner being the banished god. As she was about to bend down and wake Ryner up, something hard hit the back of her head. She stumbled in surprise and was thrust forward as her sight started to fade.

Above her, for a second, she saw Sion standing there with the hilt of his sword in his hand and a dead look in his eyes. Her blood went cold as she fought to stay conscience. The look in Sion's eyes scared her. He was going to do it. He was actually going to do it. She gasped one more time and then the world went black.

.

Sion looked down at Ferris. He felt numb. When they had gone through the gate, he'd been thinking of taking advantage of Ferris as soon as she let her guard down. He didn't have to wait long for his opening as Ferris quickly let her guard down to wake up Ryner. He took that opportunity and hit the back of her head with the hilt of his sword. Now she wouldn't be able to stop him. And she wouldn't have to witness her friend die by the hands of another friend. Sion himself would carry that burden. With dull lifeless eyes, he started forward.

"This ends now." He muttered.

.

Yes I am going to end it there, sorry. I'll try to post another chapter soon.

One last thing I would like to do is to respond to the reviews that were posted.

ZombieSpacePirat- So sorry for taking so long! School was keeping me busy

DescendingSnow- Sorry it took me so long to update. It's easier for Ferris to make up her mind but not so much Sion. Ryner would be better as the God of afternoon naps then destruction.

Guest- You're right about that. Sion has to deal with a lot of responsibilities.

Guest- Thank you! I'm trying to work in a romance but I'm finding it a little harder then I thought.

ButterBuns- Sorry for the wait and sorry for another short chapter. I wanted to write a shorter one so I could get back in the swing of writing. Hmm that's a interesting idea, I'll go see if I can fit that it, XD
