One night, in the LosAngelos Park,
Alice,Lilith,maria and Grove Protector were chasing a Darkness Creature known as a Marrow Ooze. "Do not let that beast escape!" Alice exclaimed.
"Nothing personal,sister Alice, but I'd wish you'd consider our methods on referring these creatures as beasts." Lilith said. Rusulka fired ice spears from his mouth while Grove Protector fired thorns from his arms. But Marrow Ooze opened his gelatinous body to dodge the attacks and swatted the 2 creatures with its extra mouths, knocking them down.
As it turned its attacks on Alice and Maria, they blocked them with their mana and abomination shields, but were knocked down too. As Marrow Ooze was about to finish them, Rusulka and Grove Protector jumped in the way and took the attack before disappearing. "No!" Alice cried. Marrow Ooze oozed off, leaving the 2 duelists to recover. Nadia activated her earpiece.
T'challa was positioned at the edge of the park where he saw some explosions caused by Marrow Ooze. "Master T'challa, it's heading your way. It must not reach the city." Alice called through the earpiece. "I see it. Preparing to engage." T'challa said. "Mighty Shouter!" But as the door opened, as Marrow Ooze burst through the foliage, Shouter didn't come through.
"Where is my creature?" T'challa asked in shock. Just then, a falling tree caused him to trip and fall down. As he recovered, he gasped as Marrow Ooze prepared to attack him.
Marrow Ooze attacked with its several oozy mouths, but T'challa jumps dodging them. "MIGHTY SHOUTER, I SUMMON YOU NOW!" He shouted, trying to summon Mighty Shouter again. But nothing. Marrow Ooze fired 2 skulls from its body.
T'challa dodged one and blocked the second one with his mana shield. Suddenly, as Marrow Ooze prepared to attack again, Gillaflame sped past it, blocking it with a wall of fire.
Alice summoned him to aid T'challa . Marrow Ooze fired more skulls from its body,
but Gillaflame dodged them all. "Gillaflame, speed assault!" Alice called, motioning her arms. Gillaflame sped towards Marrow Ooze, slashing it with his blades.
The attack was so powerful, both creatures disappeared back to their own Civilizations. "I hope rj won't mind me summoning Gillaflame." Nadia said as she recovered from the blast created from the creatures.
Somehow, I don't think she'll mind." Maria said, hiding a sly smile as she and T'challa helped Alice on her feet. "Strange. We found no tear in the Veil. So, where did this creature come from?" Alice asked. "Call it a hunch, but I think it might've escaped from somewhere.
But from where it escaped from is the question." Lilith said. Just then, the two noticed T'challa looking at his gauntlet with confusion. "Are you alright? Why didn't you summon your creature?" Alice asked. "Yeah, Master T'challa, what happened?" Maria asked. "My creature did not respond. This has never happened to me before." T'challa said, folding his arms.
Meanwhile.
Kim and luz were research books on ancient Egyptian Gods and were growing tired. "Great. Only 286 more pages to read to research." Luz said. "No big deal, sis. We can find out more in time." Kim assured.
About 5 hours later, they were nearly finished. "You old guys must've known all about the Kaiju Realm." Luz said as he flipped through the pages. "It's possible.
The creatures have been around for so many centuries." Kim said. Not being able to keep their eyes open anymore, they fell asleep and started to have a simultaneous dream.
Dream In the Nature Civilization.
Mighty Shouter was snatched by a giant claw and dragged through a portal, trumpeting for help.
Dream End.
Luz and kim jolted awake in shock and looked over at their sketchbook. It was turned to a drawing of Shouter, realizing what the first meant.
Later, at the temple,
T'challa continued trying to summon Mighty Shouter. "Mighty Shouter!" He called. But the result was the same. The door opened, but Shouter did not come through.
"Why can I not summon him?" He asked. "Because something bad is going on in the Creature Realm, right?" Luz asked as she, kim, Apollo,gus,willow,amity,Sasha,Darrel,Chris and hunter walked in. "Luz and I had a dream about the Nature Civilization. We think Shouter, his home might be in trouble." Kim explained.
"Everyone has dreams. But that does not make them real." T'challa said. "I'm a man of logic, but I've seen kim and luz do things that defy logic." Chris said. "Yeah. They've tamed, purified and befriended very powerful creatures." Sasha said. "And they have the use of 2 very powerful Guardian Spirits." Apollo said. "Yeah, hello? They're the naturals. Maybe you should listen to them." Amity said. "It would make sense to, Master T'challa." Anne said.
"Regardless, what happens to a creature on the other side of the Veil is not my concern. Mighty Shouter is my friend." T'challa said. We know you care about him." Darrel said. The Nature Civilization is vast. I don't even know how to find him." T'challa said. "We know someone who can help." Darrel said. "And we can use our K-Tectors to help track him too." Luz said. "Okay, we go. But only to make sure that my…the creature is well. And we go without telling the others." T'challa said.
Later the nature civilization.
T'challa and the kids entered the Nature Civilization through the Veil.
After T'challa closed the portal, the kids got a good look at the surrounding environment. Just then, gus became fascinated by a plant creature known as a Spore Siren. "Incredible, isn't it? Spore Sirens are very incredible creatures.
When you summon one, they can attack with big spore attacks." Chris explained. "Whoa. I bet I could win the noble prize for trans-dimensional discover discovery, biology, probably even ecology. This place is awe inspiring." Willow said. "Says you. Now we focus on finding Shouter." T'challa said. "How do we do that?" Hunter asked. "I'm gonna summon Tatsurion. He's a better tracker than a bloodhound." Luz said. "I'm gonna summon Skarvos too. She's got excellent senses that can be helpful." Kim said.
"Tatsurion the Unchained!" Luz called. "Skarvos the Assassin!" Kim called. The doors opened and their 2 best creatures came through. "The Nature Civilization? Who're we fighting?" Tatsurion asked. "No one, Tatsurion. We need you and Skarvos to find T'challa's creature." Ray said.
"Mighty Shouter's in trouble? You have a good idea where to start?" Skarvos asked. "The Beast Kin. His territory is nearby. But you should know, I'm not really welcome there." Tatsurion said. "No, you? Hard to believe." Amity said with sarcasm. "Well then, it's time to start making friends." Kim said. Skarvos chuckled. "How'd we know you were gonna say that?" He asked as he and Tatsurion led the way.
During their journey, they walked past a forest with a watery roof. The kids and T'challa dragged their hands through the water walls as they passed by a Steam Star and a school of Buoyant Blowfish. Just then, Tatsurion motioned for them to stop. "Creatures coming. Lots of them." He said. "From where?" Darrel asked. "Everywhere." Tatsurion said. Just then, a group of humanoid horses ambushed them, wielding big spears. "You are not from this realm." A voice said. Just then, a Megabug known as Copper Locust landed in front of the group, carrying a tiki creature known as a Spirit Totem. "What sort of creatures are you?" The Totem asked. "We are human and inhuman beings, great Totem." T'challa said.
"Humans and inhuman are a myth. You are the beings who take our tribe away." The Totem accused. The Beast Kin readied their spears as T'challa summoned his gauntlet. "Master T'challa, wait. We're on a peaceful mission to find a friend." Luz said.
"SHe's right. We seek to find the one called Mighty Shouter." Kim said. The Totem remained silent. "Um, sir?" Luz asked. "Do you have a name?" Kim asked. "I am Thorn-Bringer, Chieftain of the Bronze-Arm Tribe. And you must be…creatures of Darkness." The Totem, Thorn-Bringer, accused. "No, they speak the truth. They are inhumans and humans from the lost realm." Tatsurion said. "Yes. They are noble creatures. And good friends to all of our kind." Skarvos said.
"I know of you 2. Even here we have heard stories of the half-breed Fire Dragon and the half-breed Water stalker. You both are free to go. But those things are my prisoners." Thorn-Bringer declared. "Anyone who threatens these humans must face Tatsurion the Unchained!" Tatsurion exclaimed. "And Skarvos the Assassin!" Skarvos exclaimed. "So be it, brave ones.
Just know, your memories will be honored. Your bones will be made into our arrows, your horns into our spears, your-" Thorn-Bringer tried to say. "Can we just fight, Mask Mouth?" Tatsurion asked, growing impatient. "As you wish." Thorn-Bringer said as he leapt down from Copper Locust's back. He motioned his hand as it started to glow. Just then, a giant Venus plant creature called Carnivorous Dahlia burst out from the ground and prepared to attack the group.
Dahlia spat out a liquid venom from its mouth, but the realm blocked it with their mystic shields. "What is that thing?" Hunter asked. "The Dionaea Muscipula. Some variation of the Venus Flytrap." Gus said. "Now that's what I call a very big plant." Willow said. "If it's a weed, we can pull it." Luz said as she climbed onto Tatsurion's back while Skarvos picked up kim and placed her on his shoulder. Tatsurion lashed his chain at Dahlia, wrapping around her stem-like neck.
Skarvos charged in to attack, but Thorn-Bringer motioned his hand and Dahlia broke free of Bob's chains, swatting Skarvos aside. "Scaradorable of Gloom Hollow!" Amity called, summoning Squeaky. "Aha! They're all from the Darkness Civilization." Thorn-Bringer accused. "Show them what you're made of, Squeaky." Amity said. Squeaky let loose her scream attack, disorienting the horse-men.
But they quickly recovered and started throwing their spears. Allie quickly got on Squeaky's back and took off, dodging the spears. "Twin-Cannon Sky-" Kimora tried to call and summon a creature, but Thorn-Bringer summoned thorny roots from the ground and restrained him. "Master T'challa!" Gus cried. "Reef Prince Glu-urg-" He tried to summon Gargle, but Thorn-Bringer's thorn roots restrained him too. "Hey! Not cool!" Anne exclaimed. "I got them!" Sasha called. "Jetflame Liz-" she tried to summon Jetflame Lizard, but Thorn-Bringer's roots restrained her and Anne too. Amity and Squeaky climbed up Dahlia's neck, but Dahlia grabbed them in her mouth and spat them out. As they landed, Squeaky disappeared. "Amity, are you okay?" Apollo asked as he and Sasha helped amity up. "I'm fine. Stupid talking mask." Amity said. But then, Thorn-Bringer's vines ensnared the 3 girls too.
Luz and kim saw what happened. "They're in trouble!" Kim exclaimed. "Tatsurion,Skarvos, they need us!" Luz called. "Now, great poisonous Dahlia, you may consume them." Thorn-Bringer said. As luz,Tatsurion,kim and Skarvos ran over to help, they got caught in Thorn-Bringer's roots too. Dahlia prepared to eat them as they were lifted up. T'challa managed to perform another summon while ensnared. "MIGHTY SHOUTER!" He called attempting to summon Shouter. "Not so loud. Shouter right here." A voice said from behind him. T'challa turned around to see Shouter, but was shocked to hear Shouter speaking. "Mighty Shouter, you…speak?" He asked. "Only here, Shouter talk. Only here, Beast Kin listen to." Shouter said. "He's not the only one." Another voice said as Grove Protector leapt out and landed in the middle of the group. "Grove Protector? You can talk too?" Willow asked in shock. "Surprise, surprise, willow." Grove Protector said as he tore the roots off willow, freeing her. "What do you think you're doing?!" Thorn-Bringer demanded. "These Shouter and Grove's friends. Let friends go." Shouter said.
"Don't be a fool. These are the Darkness Lords that take our tribe." Thorn-Bringer said. "Chief wrong! Let friends go or Shouter not protect village anymore." Shouter said as he freed T'challa and luz from their root restraints. Grove Protector helped by freeing Kim, hunter and Sasha. "Hmph! Very well." Thorn-Bringer said, releasing everyone from his restraints. "Come." Shouter said, gesturing them to follow him.
"Willow." A voice called from the air. Willow felt startled when she heard it. "Willow, you alright?" Hunter asked. "I thought I heard something." Willow said. "Willow." The voice called again. "I heard it again, calling my name." Willow said. "I didn't hear anything." Gus said. "Neither did I." Apollo said. "She must be hearing a Guardian Spirit's voice." Kim guessed. "She's right. Each of us with a Guardian Spirit heard their voice whenever we were chosen." Amity said.
"Willow." The voice called again. "It sounds like it's nearby." Willow said, walking off. "Whoa, wait up, willow." Apollo said as he and the others followed.
They entered a big part of the forest. "You are getting closer." The voice said. "We're getting closer." Willow said. Just then, they came across the very thing they were looking for. Standing right in front of a giant tree was a Spirit Guardian Shrine with an hourglass symbol. "Look at that." Anne said. "A Guardian Spirit shrine." Kim said.
Just then, willow noticed a glow in her hand. She looked and saw a K-Tector, colored brilliant blue and emerald green.
Just then, the hourglass symbol started glowing brightly before it shattered and released a spirit in the form of a humanoid bird made entirely of sand. "Greetings. I am Thozotz, Guardian Spirit of Oracles, the Time Walker." The spirit, Thozotz, greeted. "Hi. It's an honor to meet you." Willow said. "I know. I've been waiting for you, the ones who would be destined to reunite my fellow Guardian Spirits and remerge our worlds." Thozotz said. "But how can we?" Willow asked. "Just hold out your K-Tector and the answers will be revealed in the near future." Thozotz said. Greta held out her K-Tector and Thozotz was transferred into it, powering up. "Whoa. My own Guardian Spirit." She said in awe. "Come. We waste time." Shouter said. The team followed him as he walked away.
Later
they arrived at the tribe's village, seeing several horse-men recovering. "What happened to your tribe?" Apollo asked. "Many are taken to a dark place of iron bindings where Darkness Lords steal their mana." Thorn-Bringer explained. "Shouter too was taken. But came back. All mana gone. Too weak to come when you called, Great T'challa ." Shouter said. "That's why my summons failed." T'challa said. "Makes sense. You can't summon a creature if it has no mana." Anne said. "How'd you get involved in this, Grove Protector?" Willow asked. "I was nearby when I saw Shouter reappear in the forest. He looked weak.
I helped him make it back to his village." Grove Protector explained. "You should rest, regain strength. Soon we will duel together again." T'challa said. "NO! Shouter fight beside T'challa no more. Others think Shouter's stories about duels with T'challa are dreams of madness. Make Shouter live over there. Alone." Shouter explained, gesturing to a lone cottage. "Shouter's stories true!" He exclaimed.
"I never thought how my summons would affect you. My apologies." T'challa apologized, feeling guilty. "Come, children. We shall go. I will find another creature to duel with." He said, preparing to leave. "No. We're not leaving." Apollo said. "Yeah. You can't just abandon your partner like that." Luz said. "If Shouter does not wish to fight beside me anymore, then I will respect his wishes." T'challa said.
"So, that's it? You're just gonna toss him aside like a dishrag and replace him with something else?" Kim asked. "That's cruel, even for a well respectful Master like you." Luz accused. T'challa was stunned to hear that, being called cruel.
Suddenly, a portal opened in the village. A giant claw came through, making the tribesmen run for their lives. As the claw prepared to grab Thorn-Bringer, luz and kim hopped onto tatsurion and Skarvos, and pushed him out of the way, but got grabbed themselves. "Luz! Kim!" The realm defenders cried. Luz,kim,Tatsurion and Skarvos shouted as the claw dragged them through the portal. The realm defenders were shocked from what happened.
As they were pulled through into the one nechros's lair, Tatsurion and Skarvos each landed on a restraining table. Luz and kim fell off them unseen. "Look at the size of these ones. Better break out the heavy tethers." A minion said. Energy tethers restrained Tatsurion and Skarvos as they lay unconscious. "Where are we?" Luz asked as she and kim recovered. "Uh, luz?" Kim said, pointing to tatsurion and Skarvos with worry. "Okay. This is bad." Luz said. "Very bad." Kim agreed. "Ah, Tatsurion the Unchained and Skarvos the Assassin. Truly unique hybrid beasts ripe with mana." Aqua Seneschal said as he oversaw the operation. "Seneschal, how's our first catch of the day?" Odalia asked as she called through a computer.
"We have secured 2 excellent doners, Master. I am prepping them for the cutting chamber now." Seneschal said. "Just make sure these ones don't escape like that Marrow Ooze." Odalia said, ending the call.
"You heard the Master. Get moving." Seneschal ordered. One of the minions flipped a switch, and the door to the next room opened. The tables started being moved into it as Tatsurion and Skarvos came to. "Where are we?" Tatsurion asked. "What's going on?" Skarvos asked. "Sedate the brutes if they resist." Seneschal ordered. "Seneschal?! What is the meaning of this?!" Skarvos demanded. "What creature would betray his own kind?!" Tatsurion demanded. "You 2 are not my kind. Do enjoy your stay, stupid beasts." Seneschal said. The door closed as Tatsurion and Skarvos were brought through.
Luz and kim deactivated their gauntlets and started to sneak around Seneschal over to a nearby door.
But then, Seneschal sensed movement behind him and turned around to see. But luz and kim hid by the wall. Seneschal floated down the stairs, but luz and kim made it through the door and proceeded into the one of nechros's lair. As they walked, they heard voices coming their way. They hid behind another wall as they saw indigo,Pride and chrysalis walking towards them. As they were getting closer, luz and kim used an invisibility glyph.Just then, they heard a screech.when they realized it was from The nechros's holding cells.
As they walked and they turned around to see a Fear Fang in the cell with them, snarling at them. "Easy there, fella. Good dog." Luz said nervously. "Easy, boy. Roll over? Play fetch?" Kim said, nervously throwing a bone.
But Fear Fang roared at them and bit off luz's glove, throwing it away. "Hey! Bad dog!" Kim exclaimed.
But Fear Fang snapped at her too, biting off her glove and throwing it away. The twins quickly ran slipped through the bars and into the next cell as Fear Fang tried to grab them. "Whew! No me and kim meat snacks for you today." Luz said.
"Yeah. Belos Twins are off the menu, pup." Kim said. Suddenly, there was another growl behind them. "Not again." Luz said with worry.
They turned around to see a big creature in the shadows. They embraced each other as the creature prepared to attack.
As the creature charged towards them, it stopped in front of them. Luz and kim opened their eyes to see that it was a Rumbling Terrasaur. But it was staring at them, like it knew them. "Wait. Are you…?" Kim asked before she realized. "Yes! He's that Terrasaur dad summoned that day when i was a kid."Wow! I never thought I'd seen you again, big guy." Kim said.
The Terrasaur nuzzled them, being careful with its enormous body. "Okay, okay. Easy, easy, easy." Kim said as the nuzzling Nature creature accidentally knocked her and luz down. "I'm so sorry you were taken." Luz said. Just then, they heard a neigh.
They looked and saw 4 Bronze-Arm warriors in the cell across from them. "We don't know what the shadow coven's done to you, but we're gonna free you. All of you." Luz said. "Yeah. Just as soon as we get out." Kim said.
They slipped through the bars and ran over to the warriors. One of them tossed them their gloves. "Thanks. I think I have a plan." Luz said as she and kim put on their gloves and activated their gauntlets. "Then let's put it to work, bro." Jen said.
Meanwhile, back in the Bronze-Arm village
.
T'challa performed a Spell of Healing on one of the warriors, healing its strength. "This human…gives and does not take from us?" Thorn-Bringer asked in shock. "Not all humans bad." Shouter said. The others used the same spells to heal the other villagers.
The one gus was healing giggled at the feel of the spell. "Uh, I think I'm kinda tickling him or something." Gus said. "That's a bit of a side effect of the spell. It tickles creatures as they're being healed." Hunter said. "Guys, I'm all for helping out here, but what if luz and kim are lost forever? We need to go find them." Amity said. "You heard Master T'challa. We have no idea where they were taken. We just have to wait. Patiently." Gus said. "No. I don't do patiently." Amity said. "That's you're problem, Allie. You're always in a hurry to get something out of the way and start something else." Apollo said. "Apollo." A voice called. Apollo heard the voice as the kids continued to argue with the others trying hopelessly to break it up. "Apollo." The voice called again. Terry stood up and started following the voice. Thorn-Bringer noticed him leaving and decided to follow out of his curiosity for inhuman and human kind.
Apollo followed the voice to an old cave near the village. "What is this place?" He asked. "It is an old cave that used to be called home to one of our beloved Guardian Spirits." Thorn-Bringer said as he caught up with Apollo. "What're you doing here?" Hunter asked. "Following you. You inhumans continued to strike my curiosity. For example, why have you come here?" Thorn-Bringer asked.
"I believe that a Guardian Spirit's voice called me here." Terry said. "Indeed, I have. Please, enter my home." The voice said. "The Guardian Spirit. He calls me inside." Apollo said, walking inside the cave. Thorn-Bringer grew even more curious as he followed apollo inside. There, inside the cave, they found another Guardian Spirit Shrine with a mountain symbol.
"This is it. The shrine of the Guardian Spirit." Apollo said. "Yes, indeed." The voice said. Just then, Apollo noticed a glow in his hand, looked and saw a K-Tector, colored dark brown and moss green, in it. Just then, the symbol glowed brightly and shattered, releasing the Guardian Spirit in the form of a giant troll with the mark of the Bronze-Arm Tribe on his chest. "Greetings, Apollo. I am Segmos, the Earth Titan." The spirit, Segmos, introduced. "Segmos?" Apollo asked. "The first of the Bronze-Arm Tribe before he joined the Guardian Spirits.
His power can control the very earth itself." Thorn-Bringer said. "Well spoken, Chieftain. And together, Apollo, we can use my power, as well as those of my comrades your friends have found, to reunite our 2 worlds once more." Segmos explained. Apollo held up his K-Tector and Segmos transferred himself into it, powering it up. Thorn-Bringer was fascinated by this.
Later, back at the village.
the others had finally stopped arguing as Apollo and Thorn-Bringer returned. "Where have you 2 been?" Chris asked. "Just another Guardian Spirit's resting place." Apollo said, holding up his K-Tector. "You too, Apollo?" Willow asked happily. "You know it, willow." Willow said. "I must admit. You humans and inhuman continue to feed my curiosity. Especially if you were chosen by our oldest protectors." Thorn-Bringer said. "Oh, you have no idea of the things we're capable of." Amity said. "So, any idea on where luz and kim could've gone?" Apollo asked. "Mighty Shouter!" Luz's voice called as a door opened in the village. "That's luz!" Amity cheered. The realm defenders and Grove Protector all grabbed onto Shouter as he went through the door.
Suddenly, Thorn-Bringer grabbed Terry's leg as they went through the portal. "Not again!" Gabe cried as the door closed, leaving Kimora completely shocked.
In one the shadow's lair.
Shouter appeared before Ray and Jen. "Glad you had enough mana to make the trip, big guy." Ray said.
"Shouter not come alone." Shouter said, revealing that the kids, Grove Protector and Thorn-Bringer came along too. "Amity? Guys?" Luz asked in surprise.
"Thank goodness, you guys are okay especially my sweet potato." Amity said as she hugged luz in relief. "Oh no! What kind of mess have you 2 got yourselves into this time?" Sasha asked, knowing luz and kim's habit of getting in trouble.
"Hey! This was not on us this time, Augustus." Kim said. "My Beast Kin." Shouter said as he walked up to his tribesmen's cell.
He gave a loud trumpet as he raised his club. "Shouter! Wait! You might-" Ray tried to say. But Shouter smashed the lock, opening the cells and setting off an alarm. "-set off an alarm. Great. So much for subtlety." Luz finished.
"Sir, we have intruders and 3 rogue creatures in Cell Sector G." A minion reported through a vid-call to the Choten in his office. Odalia activated her security cameras and saw what was happening. "Those brats. Lock down the perimeter. I'm sending someone to 'take care' of it." She ordered before contacting indigo and chrysalis. "My dears, it appears we have visitors."
Meanwhile.
the other realm defenders unlocked the cells of the Rumbling Terrasaur and Fear Fang. "Whoa! Gus, do not let that rabid werewolf thing out!" Amity exclaimed.
Gus was about to shut the cage door, but luz stopped him and brought out a glyph as Fear Fang got out. "Easy there. It's gonna be fine." Luz said as she held out the light glyph. Fear Fang stared at it as it started to glow brightly. Just then, as the light subsided,
Fear Fang walked up to luz and licked her face. "You're welcome." Luz chuckled. Amity stared at Rumbling Terrasaur as it walked out of its cell. we don't have much time. You guys have to get these creatures home." Kim said. "Um, how are we supposed to do that?" Sasha asked. "On the other side of that big armored door is a machine that makes portals through the Veil." Darrel explained.
And how do we get through said huge armored door?" Anne asked. "I don't think Rumbling Terrasaur's strong enough to bash through said door on his own." Anne said. "Leave that to me." Apollo said, holding out his K-Tector. "Apollo, you have a K-Tector too?" Kim asked.
"Got my own Guardian Spirit before we got here." Apollo said. "Good. You use whatever Guardian Spirit you have and use your imagination. We're gonna get Tatsurion and Skarvos." Luz said as she and kim walked away to find Tatsurion and Skarvos. "Shouter join you." Shouter said as he joined them.
"They're ditching us…again." Sasha said. "Does this always happen with those 2?" Thorn-Bringer asked.
"Pretty much. But we're used to it." Chris said. "So, you guys ready to do this?" Gus asked.
"Nope, but come on, horse-head guys. This way." Amity said as she and the others started leading the captured creatures towards the door.
But then, a group of minions blocked their way. "Take them down!" The leader ordered. "Oh no, you don't. You ready, willow?" Terry asked. "You know it, Apollo." Willow said. Execute! Guardian Spirit Evolution!" They called. Their mana powered up their K-Tectors as they transformed into Segmos and Thozotz for the first time.
As the minions prepared to summon creatures, Thozotz clapped her four fingered hands together and the time surrounding them stopped, freezing them in place.
Then Segmos raised his giant club and swung it at the minions, knocking them away. "These humans, they know how to use their Guardian Spirits' powers to their advantage." Thorn-Bringer said, surprised. Segmos burst through the door, surprising Seneschal. "Segmos and Thozotz?! It can't be!" He said in shock.
"Excuse me, Mr. Water Creature, we need you to send our friends home." Gus said. "And if I refuse?" Seneschal asked, obviously not going to help.
"Soggy, you're gonna make it happen or our friends here will drink you like what my girlfriend calls a bottle of soda pop." Amity said. Segmos and Thozotz glared at Seneschal, making him nervous. "Of course. As you wish." Seneschal said.
Meanwhile.
Luz,Kim and Shouter found tatsurion and Skarvos inside a glass cage, hooked onto a machine that was draining their mana. "Tatsurion!" Luz cried. "Skarvos!" Kim cried. "No strength…left." Tatsurion groaned weakly. "Me too. I'm…depleted." Skarvos said weakly.
"Shouter, get them out of there!" Lux exclaimed. "Quickly!" Kim cried. Shouter slammed his club against the glass door, but it wouldn't break or even crack.
The machine finished the drainage and unhooked the 2 hybrids as they dropped to the floor. Tatsurion and Weave gave one last look at the worried faces of their partners before they disappeared back to the Creature Realm.
"Why other do this?" Shouter asked in horror. "I don't know how anyone could do this to innocent creatures." Luz said in disgust. "Innocent creatures?" Chrysalis's voice asked out of mockery. Luz,kim and Shouter turned around to see her, Pride and indigo standing in front of the door.
"They're monsters, idiots." Chrysalis said. "Yeah. They're nothing, but mindless beasts for humans to control." Pride said.
"Yeah. Like this one. Swampstench Worm!" Indigo called, summoning a big grey Rotworm called Swampstench Worm. "Jackalax!" Chrysalis called, summoning Jackalax. "Razorkinder Puppet!" Pride called, summoning Razorkinder. "Mighty Shouter, time to duel." Luz said as she and Jen motioned their arms.
Shouter charged towards their enemies, bashed Swampstench Worm with his club and knocked it back towards Glasses. "Razorkinder, Fear Gaze!" Pride ordered. Razorkinder fired his attack, but Shouter wasn't even phased by it.
"Our big guy's not afraid of your little toy, Alakshmi." Kim said. "Then try this! Jackalax, Wing Slash!" Saanvi ordered. Jackalax leapt at Shouter,
preparing to slash at him with its wings. But Shouter blocked it and knocked Jackalax back. As Shouter prepared to swing his club again, Razorkinder ran up, spun his blade hands and sliced the club.
As Razorkinder and Jackalax prepared to attack again, Shouter picked up Swampstench Worm and tossed it at the 2, causing all 3 of them to disappear. "No!" Pride said with worry. Luz and kim motioned their hands as Shouter let out a loud trumpet attack. Pride,chrysalis and indigo blocked it with prides shadows.
but got blown back into the door, knocking them out. "Shouter knock down bad people." Shouter said with pride. "Yes, you did." Luz said. "Couldn't have happened to anyone nicer." Kim said.
Suddenly, the door opened and revealed the odalia and nechros himself. "You 2 break into one of my home, damage my belongings and free my creatures?! Who do you think you 2 are, children?" Nechros asked. "We're friends to every creature uncle." Kim said.
"Your hurting them?" Luz asked. "You 2 need to see these monsters for what they are. Batteries." Odalia said.
So, that's it. You abduct them, drain their energy and keep them prisoner until they recover no wonder." Kim said. "And when you drain too much and they disappear back across the Veil, you use your machine to hunt them down and bring them back here amity shattered your leg like glass." Luz added.
"They are the only natural resource that self-recharges. Yes, sometimes we drain too much and they go back. But we can always hunt them down again." Nechros said. "Real noble, stealing their lives." Luz said. "Their lives are nothing. They are good for one other thing. Warfare." Odalia said, using her tech gauntlet to rip open a portal. "TROX, GENERAL OF DESTRUCTION!" She called, forcing Trox, a Darkness Shadow Champion, a giant brown demon with 4 arms, a snake tail and 2 big horns, wielding a sword and an axe, through the portal.
Luz and kim stared at the giant creature in fear. "Now I'll show you what mana can do." Nechros said. Trox slithered up to Shouter and prepared to swing his sword. But luz and kim motioned their arms as Shouter caught the sword's blade in his hands. But his knees started trembling.
Trox tried to strike with his axe, but Shouter blocked it too. But then, Trox struck Shouter with his tail, knocking him back. "Your Masters see these as simple dueling beasts. Our outlooks are not so different." Nechros said. "Well, we're different." Luz said. "In more ways than one." Kim added. Together, they pulled out their K-Tectors. "Execute! Guardian Spirit Evolution!"
They called simultaneously, powering up their K-Tectors and transforming into ifrit and Lunaressa. Together, they stood beside Shouter. "Children who are capable of transforming into Guardian Spirits? Odalia said in shock. Lunaressa charged forward and whacked Trox hard in the head with her spear.
ifrit blasted him back with his flame clays. Together, ifrit,Lunaressa and Shouter fired their attacks at Nechros. But odalia blocked them with a mystic shield from the emerald eye. "Impressive." He said. Trox swung his axe at them, but ifrit blocked it with his sword. Lunaressa and Shouter moved around them and headed for the door to the portal. ifrit pulled back and leapt over Trox to rejoin his friends.
Meanwhile.
the realm defenders managed to get the last of the creatures through the portal.
"That's the last of them." Gus said. "Yes, your little friends are gone." Seneschal said, morphing his hands into blades. But then, Segmos, Thozotz, Thorn-Bringer and Grove Protector got between him and their friends.
You will not touch our friends, Seneschal." Thorn-Bringer warned. Suddenly, ifrit, Lunaressa and Shouter burst through the door and hit Seneschal, making him disappear. "Luz,kim, quit messing around! Let's go!" Amity exclaimed. "Go! Get out of here! We're right behind you!" ifrit exclaimed as odalia,nechros and Trox walked in.
"Odalia, you are such a horrible excuse of a mother!" Amity said.
"Come on! We have to trust them!" Chris exclaimed. The realm,Segmos,Thozotz,Grove Protector and Thorn-Bringer crossed through the portal.
"You do have talent, my nieces. You 2 could be great duelists but your still sacrifices. If you only stop caring for those…monsters." Choten said. "The only monster here is you, uncle." ifrit said venomously. "Yes. because you obsess for power." Lunaressa added, glaring at him. "Is that so wrong?" Nechros asked without even caring. Shouter picked up a generator and charged towards Trox with it.
But Trox sliced the generator in half and knocked Shouter back. "All together now! Hit the portal with everything we got!" ifrit exclaimed, firing his light blast attack while Lunaressa fired her moon beam and Shouter let out his trumpet attack. "NO!" Nechros cried as the combined attacks destroyed the portal.
"Let that be a warning to you, shadow coven. If you continue to treat our kind as nothing but monsters and mana batteries, it will lead you to a very unpleasant downfall." ifrit warned.
Nechros, without even caring for what ifrit said, motioned his staff. Trox tossed his sword at Shouter.
But instead of trying to catch it, Shouter let the sword hit him, to nechros's shock. As Shouter started to disappear, ifrit and Lunaressa touched him, glared at Nechros for a second, and disappeared back across the Veil.
"Those 2 meant to lose." Odalia realized as chrysalis,Pride and indigo rejoined him after recovering.
"Heh! Guess you showed them, Master." Chrysalis said. "Showed them what?! It will take weeks to rebuild the portal. Now clean up this mess." Nechros ordered as he walked away.
Later, back in the Bronze-Arm village.
after luz,kim,Apollo and willow transformed back, everyone gathered around T'challa as he used the Spell of Healing to heal Shouter.
"The key to a Spell of Healing is to release your ego and become one with the creature you wish to help." T'challa explained as he healed Shouter. After being fully healed, Shouter sat up. "Shouter sees Choten's evil on both worlds. Shouter will be there for T'challa." He said. "Humans and inhumans,my thanks to you for your great courage." Thorn-Bringer said, thanking them with a bow, which they bowed back. Thorn-Bringer walked up to Ray,Jen,willow and Apollo and gestured to their arms. The four rolled up their right sleeves and Thorn-Bringer marked them with the Bronze-Arm insignia. "You four are Bronze-Arm Tribe now. The tribe will be ready to help if you need them." Thorn-Bringer then turned to Apollo. "Young apollo, after witnessing how well you and your girlfriend were able to handle the power of your Guardian Spirits, I have decided that if you should ever need me, all you have to do…is call my name." He said, holding out his hand. "Glad to have you on board, Thorn." Apollo said, shaking Thorn-Bringer's hand. "And Mighty Shouter, you are more than mere warrior. You are a mystic who walks in 2 worlds. I name you Shaman of the Bronze-Arm Tribe. Hail Mighty Shouter!" Thorn-Bringer declared.
"Shouter! Shouter! Shouter!" The tribe all chanted as Shouter let out a triumphant trumpet.
Later, as the group returned to the temple.
Luz and kim gave their report about the Choten's lair to the Masters before rejoining their friends in T'challa's garden. "So, we told the Masters everything we know about the one nechros Choten's lairs." Luz said.
"We only wish we had seen it from the outside." Kim said. "Master T'challa, I thought we were going to keep our mission a secret." Luz said. "Yeah, why the sudden change of mind?" Kim asked.
"The shadow coven is too terrible and evil. We must prepare for them. Because of you 2, we learned much to help us. Just as I learned, or finally accepted,
