Chapter 17: Heirs Of Fate 6: Lost In The Waves 3

The children all made their way onto a large plain in a void that looked like it was in space. In the void, there were also holes of light and dark green spheres that had many dark red eyes in them.

"I have returned, Reptar. And I have brought steadfast allies. This time, we shall put a stop to your madness!" Zack called out.

He and the others all looked out to see not the cloaked figure from before, but a big monstrous green dragon floating in the void while looking down at the plain, with both of his claws holding onto the edges.

"What is that?" Abigail asked in shock.

"It is Reptar in his true vile form. But look beyond him. Each of those lights is a Deeprealm on the astral plane. Those are your home realms." Zack replied.

George pointed to the spheres.

"Then those other things... are those all the Reptars from our worlds?" George asked.

"Yes." Zack replied.

"You will regret coming here." Reptar said.

More invisible soldiers teleported onto the plain. But there was something different about them.

"Are these his forces?" Tommy asked.

He noticed something about one of the invisible soldiers.

"Hey! That's my..." Tommy started to say.

Kimi noticed the same thing with another invisible soldier.

"Father... FATHER! NO!" Kimi cried.

"Dad? S-Stop kidding around." Dil said upon looking at another invisible soldier.

"What cruelty is this?" Chuckie asked upon looking at yet another invisible soldier.

"Calm down, please! We can still save them! With my power... our power, rather... we can break the curse that controls them! Stand strong and fight on! If we fall here, then it was all for nothing!" Zack replied.

Abigail turned to George.

"Are you ready, George? Let's try to get Erebus to it's final form! I know we can do it this time!" Abigail asked.

"Got it! Here goes!" George replied.

The two held up Flaming Erebus and Midnight Erebus, which started glowing purple again.

"Listen to us, both Erebuses." George ordered.

"Wow... can you feel that? Everyone's power all flowing together?" Abigail asked.

"We won't give up! Not ever! With these swords, we'll take back our worlds, and our families too!" George cried.

There was a flash of purple, and when it faded, Flaming Erebus and Midnight Erebus were both in the Shadow Erebus form.

"The Shadow Erebuses! The Fire Emblems!" Abigail said.

Zack frowned.

"The hope of our dead world... it couldn't save us then." Zack said.

"Don't worry, Zack. That won't happen again!" George said.

"Hmm?" Zack asked.

"It won't break this time. These might not be the same Erebuses you needed most before, but we can at least promise we won't let things turn out that way twice. He's not going to break our swords!" George replied.

"I believe you, George." Zack said.

"You can't say we're not your real friends now, huh? Maybe we weren't supposed to met, but we did, and now we're buddies." Abigail asked.

"I agree. You know, don't you, Abigail? Erebus could never be completed if we didn't all have faith in each other. Let us fight together once more... this time, as stalwart friends." Zack replied. He then got a serious look and said "I'll begin the song now. I ask that you all watch over me until the end.".

"Of course, Zack. I will always be a your side." a voice said.

Zack was surprised, but then calmed down.

"Father, we will always be together, won't we? Give me strength for this, please." Zack said.

He then begun the song.
