Chapter 83:

Watching and Dreaming Part 1:

The 1,000 Monster Army

Keizer sat on his throne, eyes closed shut appearing to be napping. Surrounding him were the undead Titans waiting for his command and multiple floating platforms. One of them that wasn't too far from him had Christa frozen in the crystal ball. Down below him were the slaves building his monuments. One of them collapsed to the floor until Alex's dad Thorin came in to help him.

Thorin: Easy there I got you.

Temperor: Hey, I didn't tell you to stop.

The two are approached by Temperor with two Abomitons and Bob behind still fanning him.

Thorin: Hey give us a break. We need food and water here.

Temperor: No rests until I say you can rest. And Bob why did you stop fanning me? Did I tell you can stop?

Bob: ( sighs) No sir.

Temperor: Exactly so you keep fanning. And you get back to work.

Two Dorodoros came in and grabbed the two to force them back to work.

Thorin: Get your hands off me!

Thorin punches one of the Dorodoros off of him and attacks the other. More of them came in as he just fought back. Even if he lost his magic he still had his strength and fighting skills. It didn't last long however as the Abomitons apprehended him.

Temperor: Looks like we got a defector. Let's get rid of that shall we?

Temperor's hand ignited with fire as he was about to kill Thorin, but then an explosion went off a few feet away from them. The CATS had arrived. Members seen are Archimedes, Lilith in harpy form, Seraphina, Matti with Hooty strapped to her back, Alice riding on Stanix, Mr. Hirata, the Hexside students behind him and Raine up front. Though they don't have their magic, in their arms was what looked like an abomination rifle made by Alice with some abomination grenades strapped around their waist and abomination hand gun.

Temperor: It's those stupid BATS.

Raine: That's right we...wait no it's the CATS now. See it used to be the BATS as in the Bards against the throne since it was a bard team but that since grew and…

Matti: Honey we should probably stay focus.

Raine: Right, sorry.

Keizer wakes up and looks down.

Keizer: So you finally decided to come out of hiding. Then she must be here. Temperor deal with them.

Temperor: You heard the boss, get them!

The army of Dorodoros and Abomitons attacked. Raine shot at a few Dorodoros as an Abomiton was coming towards them. Matti flew up on her staff with Hooty coughing up potion bombs at it. Another Abomiton came at Mr. Hirata. He took out his sword and at high speed dashed through the Abomiton, cutting it in half.

Skara: Way to go Mr. H.

Mr. Hirata: You kids get the people out of here while we keep them busy.

We see the Hexside students also fighting. Most notably Mattholomule using a combination of construction and illusion, Skara was riding with Vinney on her griffin puddles while using her bard magic and Boscha using her skills of grudby on them as target practice.

Vinney: Everybody this way!

But then a huge wall of flames blocked their way. Temperor's eyes were seen on it.

Temperor: Not so fast! You kids think you can just barge in here and take the one thing that's keeping me in power. WELL I WON'T LET YOU!

Temperor flames went higher as the students stepped back.

Temperor: That's right. Cower before me! I am fire. I am death! I am… ow!

Temperor was hit by a splash of water.

Vinney: Yeah Luz told us all about you.

Skara: Like your weakness to water.

Boscha: So yeah, we're going to have to extinguish you.

Boscha placed a water glyph on her ball and kicked it at Temperor as it went right through him.

Temperor: Ow! Stop it! You fools! Don't just stand there get them!

More Dorodoros were coming towards the students. But then one of them was hit on the head by a rock. They looked up and saw the students from the baby class who jumped the Dorodoros weilding weapons of daggers, throwing stars and maces. The jumped the Dorodoros, beating them up.

Braxxus: I will save you father!

Temperor: You gotta be kidding me. You idiots seriously can't handle a bunch of babies! ( spashed by water) Ow!

The hexside students kept using water magic on him using the glyphs or water balls at Temperor.

We also see Archimedes fighting off some Dorodoros, but then he was almost hit by a magic wave.

Thomas: Well, well, well. How's going nerd?

Archimedes: ( groans) Nerd seriously? I mean come on we're not in the 4th grade.

Thomas: Uh, well how about loser?

Archimedes: Me or you? I mean how many times did you lose?

Thomas: Uh well um…I still asked Eda out first.

Archimedes: But who got her at the end?

Thomas growled and used his staff to fire a magic projectile. Archimedes deflected the attack with his scythe staff and then waved it back firing a magic projectile from the blade.

Keizer watched the fight seeing the regular grunts having trouble.

Bill: Grand Huntsman it seems they're having some trouble.

Keizer: Let's make this more interesting. Bring in the choju.

Bill: Grand Huntsman, let me join. I will bring them down for you.

Keizer brings his hand to Bill for him to get on.

Keizer: Than prove yourself worthy to me.

Keizer closes his hand with Bill in it.

Keizer: I summon all of you here, the living and the dead. Prove to me you are worthy to serve me!

Keizer opened his hand as it let out a red mist coming to the ground where the CATS were as it surrounded him.

Black End.

Black End appeared from the mist alongside Battra, Kalayavan, Abomiking and Melba with Monsieur Bolst chuckling. All the other choju had arrived as well from underground. King brothers Black King and Red King, Terrania, Gazort, Gorza, Termatra, Doratkishim, Grimstar, Neronga, Nataran, Red Garon, Sabotendar, Gyakuudo, Zola, Bakshin, Nezura and Witch Killer. Also joining them were the revived Terrible Trio, Babalou, Karasniper and Scourge. The Yakra trappers enter now lead by Yakra Bill. Who has transformed, no longer looking like a short old man but having a new bigger and stronger body now at Yakra Tarak's size and looking like the others but with his distinct candle head, one hand with the gattling gun and the other an ax. But unlike the others he appeared to have retained his mind and speech.

Yakra Bill: There's no where left to run.

They joined the Abomintions and Dorodoros making up a 1,000 monster army now surrounding the CATS as the choju let out constant roaring ready to fight.

Thomas: Oh yeah, I definitely chose the right side.

Harpy Lilith: We're outnumbered. By a lot.

Archimedes: We just have to survive long enough so the others can save her.

Keizer: ( chuckling) Attack!

ZOOOAR!

Black End and the army charged at the CATS as the all out battle rages was with Matti and Hooty as they were fighting Zola, Red King, Black King, three Yakra trappers, Nezura, Babalou and Gyakuudo. Raine shot their abomination gun at two of the Yakra trappers, they fell back as the other fired at Raine. Matti stepped up and shielded them with a transparent magic shield and Hooty came in and rammed the other Yakra trapper. Babalou came up to her as he tried to jab her with his spear hand. She kept blocking the attack by waving her hands and creating magic shields. Raine pointed the abomination gun at Babalou and shot him to the ground. Black King and Red King roared as they fired their horn beams at the two. Matti created a larger shield and then formed her staff for her and Raine to get on and flew up in the air.

Matti: Even without magic, you're still cool as ever babe.

Raine: Thank you Matti. Get ready for an areal assault.

Hooty: Bombs away!

Raine and Matti dropped abomination grenades and potion bombs while Hooty coughed up more potion bombs onto the enemies down below, most of them getting Gyakuudo as he burst into flames by the attack.

Archimedes was seen taking on Terrania, Kalayavan, Zola, Red Garon, Melba and Monsieur Bolst. Bolst swung his whip around at Archimedes which he used his staff to block the attack. Terrania roared and spat tar at Archimedes to which he canceled the attack with a magic wave from his scythe as it came hitting Terrania. Red Garon roared as he breathed red mist at Archimedes but he took out an air glyph that Luz gave him before battle and used it to blow it towards Melba's face. Kalayavan roared as he and Zola both used their own signature attacks. Kalayavan his heat ray and Zola his hot water. Archimedes barely dodged the attack and used his magic wave from the scythe on the two. Kalayavan avoided the attack while Zola was hit as the attack cut his head off. Monsieur Bolst came back at him, forming a magic ball and throwing it at Archimedes, only for him to deflect the attack. Hitting it like a baseball as it came hitting Bolst in the face.

Alice was riding on Stranix fighting Abomiking, Grimstar, Gazort, Yakra Tarak and some Dorodoros and Abomitons with them. She jumped off Stranix as the latter attacked the Dorodoros and Abomitons. Alice transformed in her abomination form as she rushed at the choju. Yakra Tarak fired his gattling gun while Gazort breathed fire at her. She formed an abomination shield as she dashed at the two, slashing them with her abomination scythe hands. Grimstar came flying behind her and knocked her down. Alice looked up and saw Abomiking forming his mace and ax hand at her. She got out of the way as he missed her. Abomiking formed his ax hand into a laser canon and fired at Alice. She avoided the attack as she enlarged herself, towering Abomiking while forming her scythe hands.

Mr. Hirata was doing his best trying to fend off Gorza, Witch Killer, Bakshin, Scourge and more Yakra trappers and Abomitons. But he had back up when some of hexside students came back after saving the people. Vinney and Skara were riding on puddles facing Bakshin. Jerbo, Barcus were up against some Abomitons. Mattholomule help fight against Scourge while Boscha reunited with her friends faced against Gorza. Mr. Hirata took down the two Abomitons and a Yakra trapper with his sword and then continued fighting Witch Killer

Lastly we saw Harpy Lilith and Seraphina taking on Black End, Neronga, Battra, Karansiper, Termatra, Doratkishm, Yakra Bill and many Dorodoros. Lilith was in the air coming at Battra who fired his laser at her. He missed a couple times but did get a cut on her left wing which made her lose altitude. Doratkishim roared as he fired small missile projectiles from his mouth at Lilith. However Seraphina in her feral mode lunged at Doratkishim and pushed him down making him miss Lilith and instead shoot Battra. Neronga roared and came charging at Seraphina. She avoided the attack by doing a back flip and getting behind him. She grabbed him by the tail and flipped him over. But then she was shot in the arm by Karasniper letting out a yell. She held her arm, blood coming through her hand as Karasniper was about to shoot her again, only for Lilith to come down kick him to the ground.

Black End.

Black End came towards Lilith as he tried to throw a punch at her. Lilith blocked the attack and kicked him.

Black End.

Black End fired a fire ball from his face as Lilith dodged the attack and continued to fight him hand to hand. Termatra was coming at Seraphina and with her good arm formed a spell circle which called forth some subterranean bug/rodent like demons to attack him.

Keizer continued watching the fight as he was paying close attention to every detail. But he noticed something off about it. Someone was missing.

Keizer: Where is she? Why isn't she here?

Then on one of the floating platforms surrounding behind him Luz, Eda in harpy form, King, Camilla and the Hexsquad had appeared after using the invisibility glyph.

Camila: Aye, Luz how can you keep using this kind of thing?

Luz: Do you think they're okay.

Harpy Eda: They will if they hurry. Let's move.

Everyone flew behind Keizer on the platforms behind him. As this happened King looked over at the undead Titans surrounding him.

King: Some of them are clearly looking at us, but why aren't they doing anything.

Harpy Eda: They're just waiting for a command from their alpha.

Luz: They'll go back to rest once we stop all this.

But then they were blocked off by a wall of purple flames.

Luz: Watch out!

Everyone landed on one of the floating platforms.

Satarakura: Now why would you want to end the fun.

Luz recognized that voice. She everyone looked up and to their shock saw the Legion of Five standing on a platform above them.

Mikela: Hellooooo. We meet again.

Satarakura: Did you miss us? Admit it. You missed us. BAHAHAHAHAHA!

Voffa: We are Keizer's dark forces.

Selene: We've been brought back to show our loyalty to Keizer by bringing you down. He'd be a better ruler to follow than that fool Belos.

Shadam: Not many people get this opportunity of a second chance. I'm lucky to even have a third. I will not lose to you again.

Satarakura: Oh yeah. Shady you really had it worst. Like really bad. Like really, really….

Shadam: Shut it.

Selene: Enough fooling around. Transform!

The Legion of Five began to glow as they all transformed in their strongest forms. Selene as Gorgon Selene, Satarakura as Wrath Satarakura, Mikela and Voffa as Ghiaxus and Shadam as Super Shadam.

Amity: You keep going. We'll hold them off.

Luz: But Amity.

Amity: Go!

Willow: It's okay, we got this.

Amity and the Hexsquad stay to fight the Legion of Five while Luz with Eda, King, Camila and Vee continue to Christa with Camila riding on Luz and Eda holding onto King and Vee.

Amity faced against Gorgon Selene. Selene stretched her arm at Amity turning into her snake arm to which Amity smacked away with her staff. Amity formed two large abomination hands from a nearby platform and had them attack Selene. They kept trying to pound Selene as she kept slipping away. Selene spat venom at Amity which she blocked with an abomination shield. The abomination hands managed catch Selene and while being trapped inside by the hands, Amity suddenly found herself being wrapped up and constricted by two large snakes. She lost control of the abomination hands as it showed Selene finishing a spell circle of her attack. Amity fell to the floor as Selene approached her with a smirk.

Gorgon Selene: You pathetic girl. I mean your mom really annoyed me back in the day but you're just as bad for different reasons of course. You really think you would take down a high ranking member like me? But don't worry, I'll take good care of your girlfriend.

Amity glared at her but Selene didn't notice her hand on the floor and formed an ice glyph with abomination goo. The glyph activates as an ice spike came out towards Selene's face. It cuts her cheek as Selene hissed slithering back and losing control of her magic snakes as they melted away. Amity now free formed a couple glyphs one being fire the other lightning at Selene. Selene dodged each attack as she formed two blue flames on her hands. Amity formed her abomination fists as the two clashed.

We see Gus fighting Wrath Satarakura. Satarakura kept firing the basilisk gun at Gus and whipping him with his vein/plant whip but all he could hit were just a bunch of illusions of Gus. The real Gus was above him on his staff and used a glyph combo of water and lightning. Satarakura felt the rain coming down on him and then struck by lighting.

Willow and Alex were facing Ghiaxus as the latter kept firing numerous magic projectiles from his staff and lightning from his crown head. Alex kept blocking the attacks making stone walls while Willow formed many thorny vines and monstrous plants to attack him. Ghiaxus kept cutting them down with his staff but this left him open as Alex aimed his stone fist at him and fired at him.

Lastly we saw Hunter evading Shadam's arm blade attacks. Though he kept dodging by warping around, he couldn't find an opening to attack since Shadam was able to keep up with him. Finally he did and used the lightning glyph on him. Shadam was hit and pushed back, but now that his armor was restored it didn't do much to hurt him.

Hunter: Why do you always have to come back to haunt me?

Shadam: I refuse to die knowing you still live. You really caught me off guard last time we fought. I'll will not make the same mistake again. It's time to settle the score.

Shadam used his eye beam on Hunter to which he warped away as he appeared next to him and kicked him across the face.

We cut back to Luz making her way to Christa.

Luz: I see her, just up ahead.

Camila: Luz look out!

Camila pointed up as a large tail was coming down at them. Luz and Eda flew away to avoided it as it destroyed one of the floating platforms.

Keizer: Trying to sneak by me are you?

The group looked up and saw Keizer looking down at them.

Keizer: How nice of you to join our little reunion. Now if you please, the Eye!

Keizer tried to grab Luz but she evaded. Due to her small size and speed, it was tough for Keizer to try and grab her. It was like a person trying to catch a fly while in the air. As he tried to grab her, Eda flew up to Keizer as King used his sonic yell on him. Keizer growled and held his head. He rubbed his head but then lost track of where Luz was. He looked around while we see Luz and the others reappearing from an invisibility glyph at a lower level of Keizer's throne.

Harpy Eda: Well there goes the battle to keep Keizer occupied.

Luz: He's onto us now. I can't hold my breathe long enough to get to Christa.

Vee: I know what to do.

Keizer: Where are you human? I know you're here. I can smell you.

Luz: Hey Keizer!

Keizer looked over to his left and saw what looks like Luz riding with King on Eda.

Luz: You looking for me? Come and get me!

Keizer tried to swipe them down but Eda flew out of the way. While Keizer was distracted we see the real Luz on her staff with Camila flying towards Christa. Keizer continued trying to swipe Eda and even tried chomping down at her but still missing. King used another sonic yell on him as Keizer screeched tumbling back and his tail wagging upwards. Luz was getting close to Christa's platform but the tail coming up destroyed that platform.

Luz: No!

Christa's crystal ball fell to the ground, not too far from the battle zone. Despite the rough impact of the landing, Christa seemed unharmed, the crystal was still intact and doesn't seem to have any cracks on it. Luz sighs in relief and flies down.

Keizer continued trying to swipe Eda and was hit by King's sonic yell again. Keizer snarled and let out an agitated roar. His wings opened up and flapped them creating a gust of wind. This caused Eda to lose control and land roughly on another platform as King and the one he thinks is Luz rolling on the platform, barely stopping at the edge. The other Luz loses focus and turns back into Vee.

Keizer: What!?

Keizer looked around frantically until he looked down and saw Luz running to Christa with the Eye in hand.

Keizer: No!

Keizer pointed his finger at the ground.

Harpy Eda: Luz!

Luz looked behind her and saw the beam looking like it was coming towards her. But it wasn't. It hits Christa's crystal ball as it began to glow red. It began to crack as the crystal ball breaks open.

Luz: Christa?

The smoke clears up and Christa was standing before her. But she was now wearing a red crop top with Keizer's eye symbol, black skirt with boots, long black leather gloves and cape also with the eye symbol. Her hair was still in a ponytail and her red eyes opened giving an evil look.

To be continued…
