Luz, kim,amity, tatsurion and Skarvos stood their ground as the Drakkon Guards surrounded them. The crowd cheered. "Game over." Gargle gurgled with worry as realm defenders attempted to go down into the colosseum.
But the man stopped them. "We gotta get down there and help!" Gus exclaimed. "Please! They need us!" Willow exclaimed. "You are all brave, but you know it's foolish." The man said. Realm defenders continued to watch their friends with worry.
"No one spoils my entertainment and lives. Guards, burn them!" Skycrusher ordered. The Drakkon Guards charged to attack, but Bob swatted them back with his tail and Weave with his arms. "What's the holdup?" tatsurion asked. "We need to leave now!"Skarvos exclaimed.
"I told you. We're not going without Squeaky." Amity said. We won't okay where is she" luz said. "They got her locked up inside the palace." Amity said. Suddenly, another Drakkon Guard charged towards them. "Watch it!" Luz exclaimed. She and amity leaned back, but the guard scratched her arm with his spear. "Luz!" Kim cried.
Amity fell off tatsurion's back as he retaliated by swatting the guard. "tatsurion,Skarvos, get luz and kim out of here!" Amity exclaimed as another guard grabbed her.
tatsurion fired his rockets, clearing a way for him and Skarvos. "tatsurion, no! We can't leave her!" Luz exclaimed as tatsurion and Skarvos ran.
"Can't save her if we're caught." tatsurion said. "tatsurion's right. Best to live to fight another day." Skarvos said. The 2 creatures climbed the wall and ran through the stands, scaring the spectators to clear a path. They leapt down the stands and slid down the mountain wall of the city with more Drakkon Guards on their tails.
Realm defenders watched as 2 guards led amity back into the palace. "Well, at least luz, tatsurion and Skarvos saved kim.
But the guards still have amity." Chris said with worry. "Now what do we do?" Willow asked with worry. "First thing's first. We find your friends before the guards do." The man said.
tatsurion and Skarvos slid into the city as the Drakkon Guards chased them. They crashed into numerous creatures, shops and carts to slow the guards down until they, luz and kim hid themselves.
The guards stopped in their tracks, having lost sight of their targets. "Spread out! They must not escape!" The elite ordered.
Luz winched as she discovered a leech creature on her arm before swatting it off. "You okay, luz?" Kim asked. "I'm fine. But we need a place to hide." Luz said. They turned their attention to a giant cannon.
Meanwhile.
the guards brought amity back to the cells. Just then, amity gasped as she saw Squeaky in one of the cells. "Hang on, Squeaky.
Help is coming." She assured before the guards pushed her along. Just then, Vorg walked up to the cell. "Only thing you've got coming is a round of tenderizing." He said, pounding his mace arm in his hand as he chuckled sinisterly.
Meanwhile,
luz, kim, tatsurion and Skarvos hid inside the cannon. "Who's foolish enough to hide in the barrel of a cannon?" tatsurion asked. "Hey, it worked, didn't it?" Luz asked. "Yeah. Until someone's foolish enough to fire the cannon with us in it." Skarvos said. "I can't believe you actually came to rescue me and amity, luz." Kim said. I had to rescue my sister and awesome girlfriend." Luz said, pulling her twin into a side-hug.
Suddenly, there was a noise outside the cannon. Luz,kim, tatsurion and Skarvos prepared to fight, but were relieved to see that it was just the other realm defenders. "Search result: keyword: found." Gargle said. "And how'd you manage that, squirt?" tatsurion asked. "Process of elimination: This is only spot large enough to keep you 2 out of sight." Chris said. "Simple, really." Gus said. "You guys see what happened to amity?" Luz asked. "Your friend is alive and well. But she's in the palace." The man said, revealing himself. "Who's he?" Kim asked. "He helped us get in here. But keep your guard up. Heatfroster and I don't trust him" Darrel whispered. "You speak the truth, Darrel . I do not trust him either." Lunaressa's voice said.
"Uh, was that what I think it was?" Darrel whispered. "Yes. I have my own K-Tector and Guardian Spirit." Kim whispered, showing Darrel her K-Tector. "My name is Lunaressa. I am honored to meet you, Darrel ." Lunaressa said. "It's good to hear your voice again, Lunaressa." Heatfroster's voice said. "And yours as well, Heatfroster." Lunaressa said.
Luz,kim, tatsurion,Skarvos,and the realm defenders joined the man as they stared up at Skycrusher's palace. "The gates are defended by a legion of Drakkon Guards." The man said.
"That means we won't have much luck trying to get in." Apollo said. "Doesn't matter. If she's in there, we're going in." Luz said. "Yes. We rescue our friend. No matter what the cost." Kim said. As they prepared to leave the cannon,
Luz felt the wound on her arm ache up. tatsurion brought her back up. "Luz, your arm." Willow said with worry. The man took luz's arm and held it up. "Humonculon, see to the boy." He said. Suddenly, a tiny spider-bot with one eye crawled out of his eye and crawled towards lux's arm.
"Uh, did you see what I saw?" Gus asked. "You have a creature living in your eye socket. That's either the coolest or the most disgusting thing I've ever seen." Darrel said.
"Well, it's disturbing for me." Apollo said, shuddering. "Possibly all 3." Kim said. Before Humonculon could reach luz arm, luz blocked it. "I can heal it myself." She said. She super healed her wound. the wound healed itself. "You are…quite a resourceful warrior." The man said as Humonculon crawled back up to his eye socket and nested itself back in.
"I've never seen a nature creature like that before." Gus whispered. "Looked like it was part Light Civilization." Apollo whispered. "Can that…thing get us inside the palace?" tatsurion asked. "Why don't we just use our gauntlets to get us inside?" Gus asked. 'Gauntlets?' The man thought. Gus and Gargle whispered to each other. After, Gargle leapt out of the cannon and headed for the armory. Everyone looked at gus with curiosity. "I have a very smart plan." Chris said. Gargle came back with a variety of weapons and started to build something with them.
Meanwhile.
t'challa, pearl,Alice,rj,merrin and eda were following a trail that the kids left. "They were here." Rj said. "And they left a trail." T'challa added. "No doubt they left it to lead us towards their location." Alice said. "If we're going to catch up with them, we will need transportation." Merrin said. "I got that covered.
Draglide the Swiftest!" Eda called, summoning a big red dragon with a big saddle on its back, turbo boosters on its wings and rocket launchers in its jaws.
As Draglide flew down to the group, eda carefully tamed it by placing her hand on its snout. "Easy there. We're not gonna hurt you." She said. Draglide lowered its head and allowed eda to climb onboard its saddle.
"Im glad we removed the rule, on Touching creatures!" T'challa exclaimed as he and merrin looked on in shock. "True. But creatures do ride other creatures here." Rj said, climbing aboard. "And besides, if we hope to find the children soon, and alive, we have no other choice." Eda said. Alice nodded in agreement and climbed onboard. Rj.merrin climbed onboard. "Alright, Draglide, to Blastforge City." Eda said. Draglide activated its boosters and took off into the air. But unknown to them, a familiar dragon was watching them.
Meanwhile.
Realm defenders were also flying towards Skycrusher's palace on their staffs. Gargle was riding on gus and the mysterious man was riding Kim.
they approached the palace. The man pointed towards a certain spot on the palace. "Gus, take us down. Slowly." Luz whispered. Gus flew to a window arch where they all got off and entered the palace.
Meanwhile.
Amity was brought before Skycrusher once again. "Boney morsal, I have questions. The ones who dared to try and free you, and managed to escape with the brave one, who are they?" Skycrusher asked.
"Nobody important. I mean, if you don't know who they are, then they must not be important, right?" Amity asked nervously. Skycrusher didn't like that answer as he stood up and walked towards amity . "If you won't talk, then you'll scream." He said. He activated a triple blaster mechanism on his armor, forcing amity into a cage.
Meanwhile.
the man brought the kids, realm defenders, tatsurion and Skarvos to a dead end in the palace. "Uh, this is a dead end. Where is amity?" Willow asked. The man leapt onto one of the gears. "It's a trap!" Darrel and Heatfroster exclaimed simultaneously. Humonculon fired its lasers, cutting a circle around the group. "What is the meaning of this?!" tatsurion exclaimed.
"Okay, okay! Just let me out of here and maybe we can talk." Amity said. Just then, the group dropped through the hole created by Humonculon's laser and landed in the throne room. "Amity!" Luz cried as she saw her. "Who dares!" Skycrusher demanded. Just then, the man dropped in on a web. "My lord, I bring you a gift. Tatsurion the Unchained." He said, knocking off tatsurion's disguise.
"I thought so!" Luz exclaimed. "I knew we couldn't trust him!" Apollo exclaimed.
As tatsurion tried to attack the man, he dodged to the side, allowing 2 guards to surround Bob. "You've avoided punishment long enough, you wingless abomination." Skycrusher said. The Jetflame Lizards were about to snatch tatsurion with their tails. But tatsurion caught them on his arm and swung them into the wall. As 2 Drakkon guards charged towards tatsurion, Skarvos leapt in the way. "Leave him alone!" She exclaimed, swatting the guards aside. Luz cranked amity's cage down. "You know, luz, this whole rescuing me stuff, it works for you.
Darrel Could be your thing." Amity said. "I love you." Luz said. "Guys, that one has the key." Allie said. Gus walked over to one of the Jetflame Lizards and took the key from its belt. Suddenly, the Jetflame Lizard recovered and grabbed gus by the throat.
But then Gargle popped out of the backpack and spewed an icy liquid in the Lizard's face, freezing its jaw shut. "Luz, incoming!" Gus called as he tossed luz the key. Luz caught the key, unlocked the cage and freed amity, who leapt at her with a big hug and kisses her on the cheek. "You okay?" Luz asked. "Yeah, I'm fine. Now that you guys are here." Amity said.
As tatsurion and Skarvos tossed the 2 Drakkons at the remaining guards, they rejoined their human friends and prepared to escape.
"STOP!" Skycrusher demanded, thrusting his sword. Suddenly, tatsurion stopped in his tracks like he was caught in a fiery leash. "tatsurion?" Luz asked in worry. "Oh no." Skarvos said in worry. "Bow before Lord Skycrusher." Skycrusher ordered. Bob bowed to him like he was hypnotized.
"Now I command you…the half-breed traitor, Tatsurion, in my grasp. At last." Skycrusher said. "Fight it, tatsurion!" Luz shouted. "Fool! No creature of the Fire Realm can resist me! I wield Ancient fire phoenix sword!" Skycrusher explained.
"He's right. Is he's a similar power to The Sword of Fiery Cataclysm,it is one of the sacred relics of the 5 Civilizations. With that sword, he can control any and all creatures in the Fire Civilization." Heatfroster's voice said. "Now where is the one who delivered you to me?" Skycrusher asked.
"It was I, your highness." The man said, stepping forth. "I've heard rumors about a small, one-eyed fleshling bounty hunter." Skycrusher said. "I am at your service." The man said with a bow. "Why did you come back? You were free, yet you returned for what? These pathetic little things?" Skycrusher asked as he walked up to tatsurion.
"For friendship, loyalty, nothing you'd understand." tatsurion said. "You speak of loyalty?! You sided against dragon-kind with some useless Beastkin.
If you could only accept your sentence with dignity. Though I doubt dignity is a word a vile grass-eating monstrosity like yourself knows anything about." Skycrusher said. "Luz, I have a suggestion that could earn us our freedom and that sword." Heatfroster's voice said.
"Lord Skycrusher!" Luz exclaimed, getting Skycrusher's attention. "I invoke the M'ark'a-N'annd'a-V'aurroo, and challenge you to gladiatorial judgement!" He exclaimed boldly. Skycrusher just laughed at luz's boldness. "You dare! That's only for Dragon-kind! What makes you think a mere fleshling has a chance against me?" He asked. "Oh, it's not me you'll be fighting." Luz said, holding up a lavender and white K-tectoc. "Execute! Guardian Spirit Evolution!" She glowed with mana and transformed into Ifrit(from final fantasy 16). "I will be dueling you in gladiatorial judgement, Skycrusher." Ifrit said. The creatures in the room were shocked at what happened. Especially Skycrusher and the man. "Ifrit! It can't be!" He exclaimed in shock.
"But it is. Do you accept, knowing what will be on the line when I defeat you?" Heatfroster asked. Skycrusher looked at his sword, knowing the stakes. "Do luz and ifrit know what they're doing?" Portia asked. "Most honor-based societies have a duel-or-die challenge. Not that it's a good thing." Apollo said. "Very well. Out of respect for you, Ifrit, and Tatsurion's father, I accept the challenge. Be ready for combat." Skycrusher said.
"What about Squeaky?" Kim whispered. "Your Highness! My friend here is not boney and would make a great meal. And let's be honest, there'll be leftovers." Amity said, gesturing to gus. "She's right. That one does have some meat on his bones." Skycrusher said. "Uh, how is this helping anything?!" Gus whispered. "Dude, you're the strategist. You and Gargle rescue Squeaky and figure out how to save us." Amity whispered. "We know you'll think of something." Kim whispered before the guards took gus away. The guards brought him down to the cells, threw him in and locked the cage. "Mmm.
Now we're cooking. Mm-hm." Vorg said as he sharpened his cleaver hand before heading back to the kitchen. Gargle popped out of gus's backpack. "Gargle can has liquid refreshment." He said, feeling dehydrated. "We'll be the liquid refreshment if we don't get out of here." Gabe said. As gus struggled with the cage,
Gargle noticed a vase of water nearby. He extended his right antennae to try and get a drink. Just then, Squeaky snuck up behind them and surprised them. "Squeaky?" Gus asked as Squeaky sniffed him before licking him in relief. Okay, okay. Enough with the slobber." Gus said, gently pushing Squeaky off him. "Amity will be thrilled. If we ever see her again." Just then, he thought of an idea. "Gargle, see what you can do about that lock." Gargle extended his finger, inserted it into the lock and used his power to shatter it to pieces. "Bingo! Nobody's home." He said.
As they carefully snuck out of the cell, careful to spot any guards, Gargle extended his finger into the vase, sucking up the water and feeling refreshed. Gus noticed this and pulled Gargle's finger out before running for the exit with Squeaky following.
Meanwhile.
Eda and the Masters continued flying Draglide towards Blastforge City. Suddenly, as they neared the city, Jaha noticed something, or someone, behind them. "We've been followed." She said. Eda looked down and saw a shadow following them. "Oh no. Not her. Anyone, but her." She said.
Moorna had been the one following them. He started firing her laser from her eyes, hitting Draglide in the wing. Luckily, they crashed down beside the city. As Moorna started firing again, eda and the Masters entered the tunnels under the city before Draglide got blasted and disappeared to where it was summoned from.
Meanwhile, back in Blastforge City.
ifrit and Skycrusher entered the arena. "I, Lord Skycrusher, regent of the Fire Civilization, welcome my subjects and allies from Nature and Darkness, to an evening of sport!" Skycrusher announced.
The others,tatsurion and skarvos watched from Skycrusher's personal sky box with the man. Just then, swift flew in and landed nearby. "You are welcome to join us, ." Skycrusher greeted. "I see you have my brother. Allow me to finish him and avenge fate once and for all." Moorna said.
"No. ifrit and his human host have been granted the right to fight for their lives and those of their little friends.
Let no one ever claim that Lord Skycrusher is without mercy." Skycrusher announced. "Then let us see if you're as good with a sword as you are with your way of words." ifrit said, forming a big knight sword in his hand. "Ask and you shall receive.
May the best warrior win." Skycrusher said, raising the Ancient fire phoenix sword for combat. ifrit prepared for the fight. After a minute of a Mexican standoff, ifrit and Skycrusher charged towards each other and clashed swords, starting the fight.
Meanwhile.
gus, Gargle and Squeaky made it to a window, they saw the fight progressing in the arena. "Oh boy. That does not look good." Gus said. Squeaky chittered in concern. "Don't worry, Squeaky. Amity 's safe. She's just in that sky box with the others." Gus said. "No win this game." Gargle said with worry. "Come on. I got an idea." Gus said. "Ooh. Very smart idea part 2." Gargle said as Gus took off with Squeaky following.
Meanwhile.
the fight between ifrit and Skycrusher progressed. "I see you still have your old moves, ifrit. But it's all for nought." Skycrusher said as he pushed back. "Come on, luz." Amity said with worry as she and the others watched. "Maybe. But my friend didn't come all this way to find her sister and friend just to lose his own life.
For he and I are of the same mind. And that is why we win." ifrit explained as his sword's blade became coated in a yellow light and icy blue flame. Skycrusher gasped in shock, knowing what he was doing.
ifrit swung his sword and fired a powerful blast, knocking Skycrusher onto his back. As Skycrusher started to recover, ifrit pointed his sword at his throat. "Concede. I do not wish to inflict any more harm than I already have." ifrit said.
Skycrusher knew what had to be done. He knew he couldn't find another way out. "I…concede." He announced. The spectators all started drowning the whole arena in cheers. Even the realm defenders cheered. ifrit helped Skycrusher to his feet. "You are the warrior you always have been, ifrit." Skycrusher said. He picked up the sword and held it out. "Accept this, my Sword of the Ancient fire phoenix, as your prize."
Suddenly, Kim saw that the man leapt off the sky box. "He's going for the sword!" She exclaimed. "Kim. We can stop him. Use your K-Tector the same way your brother did." Lunaressa's voice said. Kim brought out her K-Tector, stared at it and nodded. "Execute! Guardian Spirit Evolution!" She glowed with mana, undergoing the same transformation luz went through, transforming into Lunaressa.
Apollo,amity,willow,Gus,Chris and kim watched in shock and awe as Lunaressa leapt after the man. "Come on!" Amity called as she hurried to the stairs with the others following.
Lunaressa grabbed the man before the hit the ground and pinned him down. "Release me, Lunaressa! I must retrieve the Sword!" The man exclaimed as he struggled against Lunaressa's grip. "You may not remember who you are, but you are not the person you think you are." Lunaressa said. Just then, the man was shown a vision.
[Vision]
It showed the human world. "Beyond the Veil lies is a world without creatures. A world of humans."
[Vision End]
Lunaressa got off the man as he slowly sat up, shocked at what happened. Lunaressa transformed back into kim. "Will he be alright?" Kim asked. "I do not know for sure. It's best to leave him with his thoughts." Lunaressa's voice said. Kim nodded and walked to rejoin sister brother and friends as ifrit accepted the Sword of Ancient Phoenix fire from Skycrusher.
ifrit transformed back into luz as she continued to stare at the sword as it shrank to her size. "This is amazing. But what should I do with it?" Ray asked. "You can use your K-Tector and store it inside." ifrit's voice said.
Luz held up her K-Tector and the Sword disappeared into it. "I must say, for a human, you have a true warrior's instinct. I look forward to the rematch." Skycrusher said. Luz just glared at Skycrusher for a minute before turning to his group. "Alright, guys, it's time to head home." She said.
"NO!" Moorna roared as she dropped into the arena, much to everyone's surprise, except for Bob and Weave, knowing her. "Skycrusher, if you cannot destroy our traitorous enemy, then I will!" She roared. Just then, gus, Gargle and Squeaky flew in on their staffs. With a shout, gus unloaded the bags of liquid leeches,dropping the liquid leeches all over Moorna, making her roar in anger.
Squeaky leapt down and stood in between Moorna and the group. "Squeaky!" Amity cried in relief. "Oh, so that's Squeaky." Luz said. "Yep. That's her." Kim said. Squeaky unleashed a powerful screech, making Moorna scream in agony. Unfortunately, she swatted the propeller in her agony, causing Gus and Gargle to fly out of control. "Assume crash positions!" Gargle cried. They crashed in the arena as the group ran up to them. "Dude, that was awesome!" Luz exclaimed. "That was some nice flying, man." Kim said. "Thanks guys." Gus said. "Aw. Thanks, gus." Amity said.
Just then, Moorna roared and started firing her blasters all over the arena. "Now's our chance! Let's get out of here!" Luz exclaimed. Just then, Squeaky turned herself inside out and into a darker hound creature. "I keep forgetting she can do that" Kim said, almost throwing up. "Come on!" Luz exclaimed as she and Gus climbed aboard tatsurion. skarvos picked up kim and Darrel and. Amity, Apollo,willow and Chris climbed aboard Squeaky's back. As the group took off, avoiding Moorna's legs and tail, luz noticed the man using Humonculon's laser to cut a hole in the arena wall and escape into the tunnels. "This way!" He called. They ran into the tunnels. "I'll see you again, girl. Until then, double the bounty on Tatsurion. Dead or alive." Skycrusher ordered.
Meanwhile
As the group entered the tunnels, they were hoping to catch the man, but he was gone. "He's gone." Willow said. "For now. But I sense we'll be seeing him again." Luz said. "Me too, bro. Me too." Kim agreed. Just then, eda and the Masters ran up to them, avoiding spears being thrown by Drakkon guards. "Eda!"auntie rj!Masters!" Luz exclaimed in surprise. "Well, nice to see all of you safe and sound." Rj said.hugging luz and kim"Same to you." Luz said.
Just then, they all found themselves surrounded by Drakkon guards and Moorna. "We're trapped!" Amity cried. "Now would be a good time to go." Alice said. "Agreed." Pearl agreed. Suddenly, as Moorna and the guards closed in around them, a portal opened up behind them. "Quickly! Back through the Veil!" Nigel exclaimed. Everyone quickly headed through the portal as Alice summoned a abomination shield to protect them from enemy fire.
Alice quickly followed the others before sealing the portal. Moorna roared angrily, losing yet another chance to avenge fate.
Later.
everyone returned to the temple, they gathered at the stables.
I'm glad everyone is safe Pearl said.
Luz how did you get that k-tector Apollo asked.
I got it after me and Darrel saved queen perdita life luz said.
Anyway let's go home we've all had a long day Alice said as Everyone went home.
Meanwhile at the owl house
The others made it back home all see kratos in the living room.

Luz had a vision.she saw the overlord surrounded by all 13 energem back in the center of the multiverse and everyone she cares of is dead.
It has begun... The Isles will fall. So shall the Titan's kingdom rise. The time of witches and good is over. The Age of the darkness has come...", the overlord spoke to nechros returned before it went back to the current day
Meanwhile, back in the Fire Civilization.
the man stood in front of a lava lake. Just then, king Bradley,envy,demona and Aqua Seneschal emerged from the lava on a Water Civilization platform. "You failed to retrieve the sword?" demona asked in disappointment. "No. That girl won it from Skycrusher. And her twin sister stopped me with her own Guardian Spirit. Lunaressa but sayian Shiwen could see my aura. Thanks to this Oracle neckless." The man explained.taking a Id mask revealing himself to be paragus.
"Disappointing." King Bradley said, holding up a sample of bane's venom. Just then, he crushed it in his hand. The man was not phased. "Now you see what happens when you fail. But continue to help master Nechros, my friend, and I promise, you will have the power to rule planet sadala." Envy said as he,king Bradley,demona and Aqua Seneschal disappeared back into the lava. The man just stood there, wondering if nechros would be true to his word.
A/n the Ancient fire phoenix sword is from alisterlebeau on DeviantArt if you want to know what the sword like,also I added paragus from dragon ball z and I gave him Humonculon just like I gave angor rot cause paragus has a scar on his left eye and it feels like it suits him.also I change kings older brothers name to deon cause kratos from god of war is gonna be part of the realm so don't there to be any confusion.
