Ch 9

At the Tree of Life, Kalypso and Ladon were towering over the others when suddenly the huge blue forcefield dome shrunk down.

"No!" Kalypso shouted but it was too late. Hespera had already shut down the shield.

She flew towards Hespera and ordered her to remove the dome.

"As long as I still breathe, the dome still stands!" Hespera said. "Till I see you on the other side!"

"What're you doing?!" Freddy asked. "You're not supposed to be in there!"

"Yeah, I am." Billy said.

"But it's ALL OR NONE!" Freddy screamed, silently pleading with his best friend not to do it.

Freddy punched the dome many many times but no matter how much he tried or how hard, the dome still held.

Billy was everything to him.

He already lost his parents.

He couldn't lose his best friend.

"I've never had a real family before." Billy said. "But when I met you guys, I've been holding on too tight. Now it's time for you to fly."

"What are you gonna do?" Freddy asked.

"I'm Captain Everypower Junior." Billy said with determination.

That made Freddy chuckle and give him a little hope.

"Don't you forget it." Billy said. Then he soared back into the sky and charged at Ladon, blocking the dragon's blue fire beam.

Then Ladon swatted Billy away but then he flew up again.

Ladon swung his wing to try and swat Billy out of the air, but he uppercut the dragon with a hard blow, sending its head up into the air.

The furious Ladon charged again and swooped after Billy but he had escaped, then he flew back into the battle and he and Kalypso both locked eyes but neither were backing down.

This would end only one way.

Then Billy charged and Ladon fired again but Billy used the Staff to block the beam as lightning sparked all around them.

He was going to save the world no matter what.

"SHAZAM!" Billy yelled.

Then he called down a huge lightning bolt which finally slammed into Kalypso and Ladon, turning them both into ashes with a huge explosion that lit up the sky.

Billy had just sacrificed himself.

He was a true god and a true hero.
