Cleansing seal
Sora then talks to Edge " it seems we spend the nite here and leave at dawn, should we talk to Shepard ? "
" we need Shepard at Neverwinter in case something should happen but i will let her know our progress " Edge responds silently. Sora then brings up a memory about the guardian known as the red dragon Klauth from some of the old texts she has read back at the academy.
" this guardian is an ancient after every age he does a ritual to sustain his immortal life and it is that time again for him to do the ritual. "

The next day Edge and his squad Kaiden and Sora set out to the dragon's den to meet with the red dragon as the forces of darkness begin to creep over the land converging at Neverwinter. Shepard takes note of the strange occurrences and talks to Reimi and Faize her current squad members " we must hold the city till Edge returns "
Faize then responds " it feels this city is about to become a war zone "
The people in the city is beginning to panic as their crys can be heard by Shepard saying the prophecy is becoming true. Faize and Reimi then look at Shepard " the prophecy ? "
Shepard then calls Edge on her comm-link as he finishes the task given to him by the guardian in exchange for the word of power. Edge responds that they are returning to Neverwinter and also telling Shepard to not let anything happen to the city that the key to sealing away the darkness is at the hall of justice and they must hold that place at all costs.
The undead then begin to swarm the city, as they rally everyone in the city " this is it we must hold the hall untill Edge returns with the seal. So this is it we will defend this place at all cost. " Shepard then grabs her rifle and runs outside the hall leading the defense of the city. Lord Nasher and Aarin Gend is waiting for the return of Edge at the Hall of Justice. Edge and his squad return form the guardian just in time to see the area overrun by the forces of the cult and are already attacking everything in sight.
" this is it, lets end this, we have to get to the hall to activate the seal. " calls Edge as he drew his sword and rushes into the city with his two squad members Sora and Kaiden. Ounce inside he spots Shepard ahd her team members Faize and Reimi working with the local forces. Shepard then calls to Edge " you made it do you have the sealing items ? " Edge then shows it to Shepard who responds " good we will cut you a path go " The groups then reunite and rush to the Hall of Justice as the forces of the cult and undead block their path. Shepard shoots several targets through the head with her rifle. Shepard continues to do so giving Edge and his team a path to the hall the area around them looks like a war zone with bodies and blood all over the place.
They then reach the hall Shepard, Sora, Kaiden, Reimi, and Faize then break off from Edge telling him to go inside that they will hold the line. " but... " Sora then tells him " no buts only you can do this now go "
Edge then gos inside.

Lord Nasher then talks to Edge " we were expecting you " Aarin then tells Edge " come we must preform the sealing ceremony but for this seal to work one sacrifice must be made. Edge volunteers but is then stopped by Kairi who is standing near by " I will be the soul seal that binds the darkness "
The sealing is then done by the Lords of Neverwinter " now Edge " Edge then places the seal on Kairi. Outside the battle was frantic as the forces were beginning to fall Shepard calls to the others " we need to give them more time. "
Just then the statue on top of the hall of Justice give off a pulse of light that engulfs the entire city purging all the darkness and the undead leaving the living people alone.
Riku and Edge emerge from the hall soon after as the people around the city cheer. Sora then walks up to Edge " where is Kairi.? " she asks
Edge remains silent " she offered herself to become the seal " and puts a hand on her shoulder. Edge then turns to the people of Neverwinter " this city is safe again , but this victory is not without sacrifices. " Edge then continues " Now is the time to rebuild for the future and our time to leave and find our own future. so this is good bye "
Lord Nasher then steps out and talks to Edge " you have no idea about that you have done for this city so let me give you this to remember us by " handing over Airbeth's original sword in which Edge refuses but the lord convinced Edge to accept. Edge then walks out of the city and calls the shuttle to take them back to the Normandy.
As they board the shuttle a voice calls out to them " hey wait let me come with you " Sora looks back and sees Riku standing there. Sora will refuse knowing that if he leaves he will not be able to return but Riku presses on " there is nothing left for me here. Sora then responds " that is not my decision , only Edge or Shepard can make that choice "
Edge then lets Riku decide given the Ok by Shepard. Riku then gets on board as the shuttle takes off back into space...
