'It’s how we started, preparing for a war that could have been prevented. The pieces of the puzzle lay scattered among the world, and only one question remains… will it be enough? The end draws closer by the day and with the loss of something important it cannot be said for sure that this war will come to an end.'

Chapter 1
~awakening~

I stepped towards the light, wondering if I had died just now. I couldn’t look back… my past was all a blur, and now I had the odd feeling something or somebody was missing. Once I reached the light I saw a great canyon, and some figures in the distance moving towards where I was now standing. One of them had blackish hair and a pink bow in it, and the other was blonde, with glasses. When they arrived they helped me get out of the thing I had just come out of, and as we left I saw one simple word on the cave… Destroyer and that word haunted me for the next years to come. You see, when all this happened I never expected it to play out the way it did, it’s like soldiers, you have deserters, traitors, men who go AWOL, and then you have the ones who are loyal. It was then that I realized that whatever journey was to come now, it would not be a happy one.

It was 2010, January 1st and I would be turning 14 in four days, it was a weird thing… of all the memories possible I only knew my name and my birthday. I spoke to the blonde girl as we walked along, and she said “I know, but hey your birthday is soon Zach…” she paused, and then said “why do I know your name?” I shrugged, thinking it as a mere coincidence, so we continued chatting until we reached a suburb called Kooringal, in wagga wagga. We walked into the town and looked at a small vortex standing in the middle of its school, with the black haired girl explaining that “This thing creates little creatures that like to destroy things non-stop.” She then introduced herself as Anna, and told us that there was a house for me and the blonde girl to stay in, I then thought a little and remembered her name… Kristine.

We entered the house given for the two of us to live in; they had stocked the fridge, the pantry, the linen cupboard and the clothes cupboards for us. Kristine went to try on some of the clothes and asked me to stand in the hallway and tell her what I thought. She came back with a pair of baggy blue jeans, a yellow t-shirt, black bands over her wrists and white shoes. I told her I thought it looked nice, and she smiled and said to me “oh, come on, you can tell me what you think.” I told her I meant it; it was a nice look… in my opinion anyway. She giggled and hugged me, going into the kitchen to look for something to eat, picking out a frozen pizza for us to share. I put it in the oven to cook while she picked out a movie for us to watch, she chose Iron Man and put it into the DVD player. As she sat down with me I felt as though this was familiar, then I shrugged and said that the pizza would be ready in a few minutes.

The doorbell rang and when I answered it to see that a boy with some facial hair and a Metallica hat was standing there. “Hey I got told by Anna to stay here for a while, is that okay?” he asked, Kristine told him it was okay with her, and he walked down the hallway to pick out his room. Kristine then said to me “I wonder how many people are like us?” I looked her in the eye and said “well, it’s weird enough that we can’t remember.” She nodded, walking back to the couch as the boy ran into the kitchen screaming “OOH PIZZA!!!!” and slammed face first into the pantry, sliding to the floor. As he stood back up he asked what pizza it was, and we told him it was a meat lovers, he stared at it with a creepy grin, waiting for it to finish. The movie was starting and Kristine pulled me down into the seat next to her, looking over at the boy staring into the oven. “Jacob want…” well, at least we knew his name now.

When the oven made the ding sound Jacob moved like lightning to get his piece, and then he jumped back onto the couch, eating it as though he was a Viking. Then smashing the plate on the floor yelling “another!” Kristine looked at me and smiled, seeing this all as funny and laughing, sitting back on the seat to watch the movie for a little longer. After an hour passed the movie ended, and it was dark, Kristine wiped her eyes and said she was sleepy, asking if she could go to bed. We all went to bed and slept for the first time in our memories, and it was a reasonably good night. When we woke up Anna arrived at the door telling us we were about to begin training for whatever was to come.

Chapter 2
~An interesting time~

We arrived in the gym of the school, seeing people shoot fire, ice, electricity and all kinds of things from their hands. One of them ran over towards the four of us, saying to us “Newbies huh? Well, my names Harriet, nice to meet you… uh…” Kristine introduces her, Jacob and me, and Harriet told us we would need to learn to use our abilities, but first they had to activate. We heard a crash, and a wall fell to the ground as little creatures swarmed in, proving to numerous for the others to hold off. Suddenly everything went slow for a second as a voice in my head told me “See the ones out in front? Hold up you hand and let the energy builds from your core outwards.” I listened and was amazed to see a bright green lightning bolt fly out of my hand, leaving a good amount of the creatures tumbling.

Everything slowed again and the voice said “Maybe a better idea would be a surge? Hmm, Punch the floor and let the energy surge up from your legs.” When I did the electricity sent a wave out, eliminating the creatures. The little that was left fled back through the hole, and then we saw a black coloured aura rise into the clouds a small distance away. Anna suggested we get a plan together, but I just decided to sprint towards it, no plan or anything. Upon arriving the creatures I saw were performing some kind of ritual, dancing in circles around a small block that began to grow in size. It grew into the portal as some force pushed me into it. I found myself on an island, surrounded in void and remnants of buildings floating in the sky, and finally a massive beast landed in front of me. “This dimension is dead, my work is done, and I am on my way brethren…” it said, walking into the portal. The portal then closed before I could enter it.

I looked around the island, but it was nothing but sand, no way to escape. Then a girl with only one arm rose from the ground from a sort of portal, and told me to jump into the portal if I wanted to go home. I had no reason to trust her, and looking back if I hadn’t accepted her help maybe she wouldn’t have become a backstabber. I jumped into the portal and woke up at home with Kristine; she smiled when I looked at her and said “Thank god you’re okay…” I hugged her reassuringly and went into the lounge room where Anna explained that the destroyer had escaped the other dimension. I asked what the destroyer was but Harriet cut me off saying “You need to train for whatever is about to happen, I want you to go and do the first trial of the Neocrities.” I nodded in understanding and was sent to a creepy mansion on the hill… talk about cliché.

When I arrived the gates remained closed and I heard a voice tell me “Do you believe yourself ready to defeat the entity known as the Destroyer?” I replied with a no, and the gates opened, leading me inside to the door. The sky darkened and it began to rain as I entered the doors of the mansion, once I was inside I looked at the balconies and the only hallway on my level. I entered and I saw a girl, she was crying and when she noticed me she ran down the hallway, I decided to run after her. When I caught up she fired bright blue lightning bolts at me, and I jumped out of the way, she growled, still hiding her face. Then a large creature picked her up, and her hands moved away from her face to show me it was Kristine. Time dilated and we appeared about two years older as she was thrown off a nearby balcony. Suddenly I was filled with a berserk rage I had not expected, and lunged at the creature, using green electricity to burn its arms of, the furiously shot it in the face until it was nothing but ashes.

I arrived in a nearby room and saw seven totems, lightning struck the first and the words lit up to read “the power of rage, Zach has passed.” I pondered this as I turned, but when I looked up I was faced with the same gates as before. I left to go home for the night, and saw that Anna had placed others on a sort of patrol in order to guard the suburb. I arrived home and was greeted by Jacob, who insisted I just call him Hopey, and he explained Kristine was out training with Harriet. I then went to bed and slept until the next day, waking up to find a smiling Kristine sitting next to me. “Do you just watch me sleep or something?” I asked to which she shook her head, then she began trying to explain, “It feels like… I used to do this a lot… I come here every morning and wait for you to wake up… it just feels… natural I guess.” I laughed and told her that it was slightly creepy but I don’t mind. I got out of bed and asked her to exit the room so I could get dressed; looking through the clothes drawer I found a pair of blue jeans and a shirt saying “I have a black belt… in being awesome.” I put it on, and then noticed it was cold, winter was coming… whatever winter was. I put on a red hoodie jumper and walked into the lounge room.

Kristine seemed to usually wear baggy jeans and a t-shirt, but today she was wearing a dress, which looked nice in my opinion but when I told her she only blushed and said it must look horrid. Hopey referred to her saying that as ‘girl’s logic’ and said not to try and convince her otherwise… not that I listened, but it was a good piece of advice at the time. He was right but I wanted Kristine not to think of herself as nothing, granted there was a giant monster bent on destroying the universe and I was worried what one girl thought of herself… this must be ‘guys logic’ if anyone would consider it. I walked over to her and she said she was grateful of my thoughts.

Chapter 3
~Who are you? ~

After a day I woke up to Kristine staring at me yet again, then when I looked at her she yelled happy birthday at me. I rubbed my eyes and she hugged me, and then literally carried me out of bed so I could open the presents my friends had gotten for me. She said to open the green one first, and I did, finding a brand new phone, sim card and it was activated too. “That’s from Hopey.” She smiled, then she handed me the blue one, and told me it was from her. I opened it to find a white teddy in a box. I told her it was very sweet of her to get me this, and she simply blushed… she does that a lot, and I don’t understand why. I then went for the small red one, and opened it to find the hilt of a blade, then the actual blade unfolded into a real sword. I read the card and discovered it was from Anna. I made a mental note to thank her, and then Kristine brought me the large black one, when I opened it I saw it was a motorbike, a very nice one too.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt">It didn’t say who it was from, but Kristine said it had the gear to ride it to; I asked if she wanted to come with me for a drive. She smiled and went to get some gear on to go ride the bike with me. I put the helmet on and then the jacket, then we went outside and climbed on, and she wrapped her arms around as we started moving. It was a great feeling, the wind… it was like flying, though I can’t remember ever flying. Soon we arrived at Anna’s house, where they all were starting to put together a party for me, and I smiled, feeling cared about. I went inside to see a great deal of people, and Harriet handed me a flintlock pistol, somehow knowing my fascination with weapons to be fact. I thanked her for it and walked inside, where we ate cake, and everyone began doing karaoke, which was weird, but fun at the same time. I was then told that powers evolve with age and I should see what I have.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt">I walked outside and the voice told me “Store the energy in your hands and then throw it, go on, I dare you.” I built energy up in my hands, being directed from my core and then unleashed it, creating my very first ‘Ionic Vortex’. It picked up rubble and tossed it around, as lightning occasionally sparked in the vortex. Anna applauded it while the others stared in surprise, it was pretty awesome in my opinion, a vortex I can create at will. Then the voice explained that I had to manipulate my ionic power in within myself in order for my power to progress to higher extremes. I was then told I could affect the colour of my lightning to whatever I wanted. We all decided we wanted to go to Sydney, and got on a bus to go to the beach there, and everyone had a swim. Kristine walked over and decided to talk to me, “It’s a wonderful day to be here, with you- I mean all of you…” She had turned bright red in the face at this point, and I said “it is, it’s a great day to spend with you.” I laughed, trying to make her more comfortable.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt">She stared at the water, then she asked why we can’t remember, and I said I don’t know. She sighed and asked what I thought about her. “You’re nice… a great friend.” She thanked me but was clearly disappointed by my answer, as she left I was asked why I even told her, to which I said I did not know but she deserved to know. We all left to our accommodations, and I was put in the same hotel room as Anna, so we talked for most of the night. “Do you like Kristine? Come on, you can tell me.” She asked, a very curious tone in her voice, I told her I didn’t really know but I would tell her when I figured it out. “Besides, she has better people to spend time with, what would I matter to her?” I said, but she grimaced and said I would be surprised what she thinks. The next day when we woke up a massive demon punched through the wall, taking Anna and destroying the room. When I stood up I looked out the destroyed wall seeing a large army of soulless attacking the others.

Chapter 4
<p align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt">~Learning new powers~

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt">I ran down to the ground level, and then I spotted Hopey shooting flames from his hands, and saw a boy in a white hood, forming metal blades to fight with out of nothing. This person showing up was interesting, and I jumped out to help with the fight, firing lightning at all of the soulless when finally it hit me… What are soulless? Why had I automatically called the creatures soulless? I didn’t have time to think about it as a giant soulless knocked me against a boulder, breaking my arm. Anna ran over to help and revealed her powers to be telekinesis, crushing the creature by clenching her fist, and then asked if I was okay. I said I was okay, holding my arm across myself as I walked towards the bus we needed to go home. We arrived back in Kooringal and the hooded boy introduced himself to us. “Brett, that’s my name. I got told I am the forth of some kind of ‘chosen’. Oh well, I was hoping that all of you could help me with all of this.” He said, and Hopey patted him on the back saying he was told he was the third, and Kristine said she was the second. They all stared at me, expecting me to say I was one of them, I stared back blankly.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt">I was then sent to the mansion a second time, to perform another trial. I stared at the gates and it asked me “Do you believe yourself worthy to feel the emotion known as love?” I stared not knowing how to answer, but then it showed me one memory of my past life. Holding a girl as she died, I was in tears as the ambulances showed up… WHAT ARE AMBULANCES!? Then I was pulled back to reality, and answered the voice with a no. The gates opened and I proceeded into the building, the setup was the same as it was the first time, but this time I saw Anna and Kristine run down two different hallways. I walked up to it, Anna had gone left, Kristine to the right, and I looked back and forth between the two. I turned back to see a ghostly girl, but she was beautiful and she asked if I had seen the truth yet. “I know you went to the cave of beginnings, it should have shown you the truth. I will have to look into this.” The ghost said, as I wondered if this was in my past or my future.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt">Going back to the hallways I once again looked down them, and looked at a message in front of me. It said ‘would you protect she who found you, or she who loves you?” I wondered about this, and then wandered down the Hall to my right, but I heard Harriet’s voice say “is the really more important to you?” I stopped momentarily, and then stepped forward as the other hallway’s entrance crumbled. I continued to find an arena looking place on a dark desert. I watched as a man in armour hugged a girl, but her Identity I couldn’t figure out, and ran to the arena. It all blanked out and I saw the face of the destroyer, it grinned sadistically and then vanished, then I walked into a room with seven totems, and the second said ‘The trial of heart, Zach has failed’. When I turned I found myself, yet again, at the gates out the front of the mansion, and began to walk back home for the night. It was a bit weird that I had been doing this trial for a day.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt">The next morning Kristine wasn’t there, and when I got up, nobody was home. Walking outside I saw that the fog was extremely thick; I couldn’t see more than a metre in front of me. I walked carefully towards Anna’s house, and then a short girl with black hair, yes another one, ran into me and yelled at me for not being on the other side of the road. I continued towards Anna’s house until I reached it, and when I knocked on the door she let me in, asking if I knew where the others were. “I don’t know where the others are… I hoped you knew.” I said, as she closed the curtains with a worried look in her eyes, and turned to me and asked if I was okay. I said that I was okay and if she felt okay, then she hugged me, nearly falling into tears, I asked why she was crying and she explained she was worried about her friends.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt">Then the roof of the house was blown away as a giant soulless began to charge a sort of beam-like blast, but a red hair girl casually walked in front of it, texting on her phone. The beam seemed to strike an invisible barrier around her, and it destroyed the creature while she looked up and then looked towards me and Anna, asking if she had managed to hurt somebody. I told her she had actually saved someone, to which she replied “Oh… sweet.” She then began asking about how everyone had vanished, and she was confused about it. I said we had a similar experience with this, and she finally introduced herself. “My names Jackie and she says your name must be Zach.” I nodded when she said this, and she laughed about her epic guess. She asked if the three of us could stick together for the time being, and we all headed off to find the others.

Chapter 5
<p align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt">~Just three super humans being awesome~

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt">As we made our way out of Kooringal we saw that there were a great deal of people in central wagga, but when we arrived we were encountered by soulless, and a massive army of them too. But as we got ready for a fight Jackie stepped forward, her eyes and hands glowing a demonic red as she jumped an incredible height into the air, then hit the ground with enough force to create a crater. She then jumped out and began an ass-kicking spree, destroying any soulless that moved, while the invisible barrier prevented her from being harmed by any form of attack. As the soulless fell one by one the red glow began to grow brighter, and eventually she fired a blood read beam by kicking the air, defeating the remaining soulless.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt">We went to the nearest store we could, Noah’s ark, and looked inside and we found Brett, sitting in a lounge chair. When he saw us he asked why he was brought here, and if it was some stupid joke, to which I replied I wasn’t in on any jokes. We told him we should try and get everyone to stay within sight of each other, but the destroyer appeared. Instinctively I ordered them to run, as I drew the sword Anna had given me and attacked him. He blocked it with little effort, and then said to ‘join now with my better half’ and threw me outside through the wall, and I jumped back up to get ready for his next move, but Jackie ran up and stood next to me and said “If we’re going down we should do it like a couple of awesome people.” The Destroyer exited the building as Jackie jumped and hit its head with the force to create a kinetic shockwave, and then began punching its head in a berserk rage. I fired lightning bolts at the Destroyers eyes and spotted a mark on its scales that read ‘MK.1’.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt">Then Anna threw a building at it telekinetically, and the destroyer roared in pain and annoyance, and smashed the ground. Somehow Jackie had stayed in the same place and was still punching the destroyer, but as it began to fall it faded and Jackie seemed to lose consciousness. Anna caught her telekinetically and placed her on the ground, and said that Jackie must have demon energy in contact with her heart. This meant she could go absolutely god mode, rage machine twice then she would fall unconscious for 15 minutes before waking up. I carried her as the four of us decided it would be best to look for the rest of our friends as the storm began to stir, after a while it rained and lightning struck. I used a lightning bolt to burn a lock apart so we had shelter until the storm passed, I set Jackie down on a bed so she would wake up and not freak out and walked out to the other room to talk with the others for a while.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt">“She is fully aware of her powers, and she seems to know how to use them. I also think she knew this would happen to her, it’s almost as if she did it to protect you. It looks like she is half demon.” Said Anna, and Brett looked as though he was thinking about something important, and Anna looked out the window as I stood up to get a drink of water. But then as I poured water into the cup the electricity conducted through the cup into the water, sending little electrical waves through it. I drank it without a second thought and it was like normal water anyway. After another few minutes Jackie walked back out to the room we were in and asked what happened, and I told her she had defeated the destroyer. She laughed and yelled “AW YES!!!” and said that she killed it with pure awesome, and I high-fived her.

Chapter 6
<p align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt">~finding the others~

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt">After the storm was over we exited the building, and when we looked to our left we saw a truck approaching quickly. On it there was a bunch of soulless fast asleep and seemingly oblivious to what was happening to them. Anna asked me if I had learned any of the neocrity language, and I shook my head as she told me my Neocrity birth name. “Zan-Ah-Kah-Hah, translates to Zach.” It seemed that each word was spelled out, except for words with special meaning. I took note of this word and then we started walking towards the car yard, but as we looked at cars that we may need to get around a man with a shotgun yelled at us to get out of his property. Brett formed a blade to intimidate the man but I told him not to, to which he grimaced and disintegrated it.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt">The man then fell into a portal into the ground, and behind him was Taylor. She laughed waving and saying bye-bye to the man in the void. She then spotted us and said she didn’t get what was going on, and asked about ‘Reality Shifts’. Anna said she would teach me to use it soon and I asked what this was about, but got no answer. After a long discussion we walked down the main drag towards KFC, and saw that not even normal humans were anywhere to be found around here, but Soulless were occurring frequently. We saw this because we would come across one every 16 seconds exactly, but we also found dark dust which was a sign of soullesses destruction. We looked around and saw Soulless fighting with one another, clawing and biting and throwing each other away from themselves.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt">Anna told me to try a reality shift on them and explained that I need to split my powers equally, and hopefully I was a Shifter, a sub species of neocrities with reality powers. I walked into the middle, and as they noticed me they clambered to fight, but my energy split, resulting in them phasing through me. Anna laughed as they scrambled back up, but I fired lightning bolts from both hands at them, quickly defeating them. I was a Shifter, and I could have something fall through me with no harm whatsoever, I liked this new development more and more now. I heard someone running, and watched as Anna used her Reality Shift, the ability to move quickly, to investigate the source of the sound. Whoever it was they screamed when Anna arrived near them and when she was brought back to us Anna said her name is Beth. She was blonde, two thirds my height and resembled the girl I saw in the memory the mansion gave me.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt">Looking up Beth was frozen in shock, but soon got over it and stood up, asking who we were. Jackie introduced all of us and Beth looked at Brett in a funny way and said to Jackie that she was surprised she hadn’t murdered him yet. Jackie laughed and when Brett walked closer to them Jackie Demon punched him into a tree on the other side of the Football field nearby. Jackie asked Beth if she had any idea where some other people were and Beth nodded, leading us to the Sturt mall, where about 26 other Neocrities were gathered. Anna smiled and we saw some of our friends, Jacob, Harriet, but no sign of Kristine. Beth told me that Kristine left with some Jasmine girl and Anna introduced me to Tom, who she called Tah-homas. He suddenly showed me his powers, morphing his face, but he had a preference for ‘troll faces’. He then told me he was also nearly indestructible, and jumped into an elevator shaft, striking the ground unharmed. I thought of this as impressive, seeing as nobody could be that strong in a simple way. == Chapter 7 == <p align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt">~And the bad news keeps on coming~

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt">Lightning struck as I watched the rain, beginning to realise I loved the rain but couldn’t go out into it, since Anna was being a motherly figure for me at the moment, and locked the doors with her telekinesis. Each drop hit the ground forming small puddles, and then a dark figure appeared in the distance, jumping out of sight. However the next thing I knew the roof smashed in, a masked red-haired girl landed in the centre of the room and a hooded figure ran forward, drawing out to wrist attached knives, engaging the girl in combat. She Reality Shifted, teleporting around the room with two SMGs and rained bullets onto the figure, but he protected himself with a whip, swinging it around to shield himself and then striking her with it, leaving a scar on her left thigh. She fled and the hooded figure spoke to me in a low voice saying that and Alpha priority has been place on me as the Destroyers target, and I should get ready in case he can’t fight next time. I nodded as he handed me a wrist knife, and I retracted it as I watched him leave.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt">Beth ran back and sighed in relief, seemingly thankful I was still okay. She smiled and led me to the others, and said that they had all begun working on a plan of attack on the destroyer, and I told them Jackie had defeated it along with Anna. They replied that the destroyer would resurrect, as an even stronger form of his initial form. A girl named Adele, who had a highly pitched voice, said she found out that the masked girl was an assassin who was after me, so I would have to defeat them while another neocrity, Hopey, Defeated the Destroyer. I nodded and agreed to this, but we were nowhere near ready to successfully execute such a plan. Everyone agreed we needed to increase our power and skill, and we split up in order to do so and I was sent to find Kristine, apparently it was important that I saved her.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt">I walked into a hotel, but it was a weird hotel. The corridors changed and tried to lead people astray, and I heard a voice calling out for me, it was Kristine’s voice, and then lightning struck while the billboard fell to the ground. No light was shining upon this place, it was the darkest thing I could imagine, and there was no light aside from the flashes of lightning that gave the ground around where I stood a blue like glow. It was silent, not even the storm made noise, and I could have sworn I was deaf and no longer in sync with the world around myself. I walked into the run down hotel and saw that some figures were approaching, the robes flew off and they pulled out weapons, I figured this was limited my time to find her and I retreated into the shadows. I searched every room I came across, only to find that Kristine was not in any of them. When I began to believe she was not here the masked girl stepped out of the shadows, and she just stood there as silent as the night.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt">She suddenly pulled out two pistols, and aimed them in her silence seemingly wanting to be intimidating, but she spoke in a low, angry voice. “She’s sleeping, waiting for you, but you will never arrive. Her little hero is helpless.” She said, the mask hiding her emotions like a shell. I pushed her aside and she then taunted me more. “Hypocrite… you claim to care but willingly hurt those who truly care about you.” She said, but now it seemed as though she believed her words were sharpened dagger tips. “I realized something… I love her, and nobody will stand in my way when she needs me.” I told her, but it seemed to send her into a berserk rampage. She shifted, warping around the room but doing nothing until she vanished. It was over to quickly… there would have to be something else to what she was doing. I walked into the room and saw her there, sleeping, and wondered if I should just carry her out. She was so beautiful when she slept, with the face of an angel. She stirred and got up, looking at me with her brown eyes and she looked surprised, but smiled and hugged me. “You came for me… thank you so much.” She said, looking up at me with a beautiful smile on her face. “I promised… I would always be there… to bring you back.” I told her, she nodded at this until we decided to leave the building. == Chapter 8 == <p align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt">~Choosing for the world~

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt">As we walked outside an army of 15 people stood before us, all clad in masks and led by the masked girl I had upset previously. They then began speaking in a perfect unison, giving me a choice. “We can give you anything you want. Your memories can be retrieved for you, and all you must do is hand over the girl.” I stood beside Kristine as she gave me a worried look, scared I would give her over for my wellbeing. “You can forget it; I will not leave her side for even a second. If she is hurt I will hunt the culprit down for all of eternity, if a tear falls from her eyes I will not rest until she is happy once again. And, god forbid, if you try to kill her, no force on heaven nor earth will keep you safe until I see to it that you are punished.” I said, but the one I had upset fired in our direction, barely missing Kristine. I manifested my soul into a blade, then repeated this for the other hand, now holding two sparkling iron blades I attacked all 15 of my opponents with brutal force. Bullets whizzed past my ears as on by one I defeated the masked people, throwing one into the mud, using the other to know another over. They fell like dominos, and when they once again tried to stand the red haired girl walked forth.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt">Placing her hand on the mask she asked if I remembered, but what? What should I remember? Then she removed the mask and a flood of memories returned. A happy relationship, and after a while she had turned away from me when she saw the future, my future. The future I had with this girl she wished to destroy, and maybe even I wouldn’t be able to save Kristine. No, who am I kidding? I am the most powerful living neocrity; the memories came back slowly… I was the conduit needed to forge the 15 Keys into the 15th blade, and open the gates to hell in order to trigger Armageddon and allow the destroyer to consume the earth. Kristine was quietly whispering a neocrity spell, and she was doing well, trying to get us to safety. “TAH-EO-LAH-EO-PEH-OUA-ROH-TAH.” She said as we were spirited away to the safe house. We were greeted with cheers and hugs as she walked into the building, apparently not supposed to have survived. I wondered if I should talk to her about… what I told the girl, but I figured it was not such an important matter at the time being.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt">Anna asked about the 15 Keys and I told her I knew about them, and where we had to go for the materials to forge them. She told me it would be best to forge them quickly and hide them where the destroyer will not be able to discover them. The first material we would need was Iron, and it had to be forged by someone who was immensely strong both physically and mentally. Anna and Harriet left to find the iron we would need and I went with Tom to find the one who could forge it, hoping he was nearby. Tom pointed the way, and we had to go over the hill on Baden Powell’s drive and into the gardens to find who we needed. Before we left however Kristine told me she wanted to say goodbye, and kissed me on the cheek, telling me I had better come back alive. Tom asked if she wanted to say goodbye to him to and she said “… yeah I suppose it would be nice for you to come back.” To which Tom nodded in agreement and walked out the doors into the new sunny day. I followed him onto the next part of this journey. == Chapter 9 == <p align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt">~Beginning to create the Keys~

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt">Over 6 months we found materials to forge the keys. Along the way we met Zack, Katy, Katherine and Chiedza. All of us quickly became friends, all the while forging the keys. Strength, Valour, Duty, Greed, Evil, Rage, Love, Happiness, Care, Faith, Persistence, Time, Space, Links, and Dreams, These Keys would one day bring about a power that must never be unleashed unto this world or all will be lost. Nothing too exciting happened in that time and then we just lived on until Kristine’s 15th birthday, three months before mine. “Oh thank you!” She said, smiling at Harriet, who had given her a batman teddy bear. She shook it in front of me and imitated the meme. “I’m Batman!” she said with a grin on her face. I laughed and handed her the present I had bought for her… well, I made it but it’s just that special. She opened the parcel and pulled out the necklace, with a tigers eye stone carved into a heart shape. I smiled as she handed it to me to put on for her, and I told her she looked wonderful. “Ha-ha Lies.” She said, playing with the necklace and then proceeding to ask if it was cake time. We brought the cake to her and she laughed, blowing out the candles.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt">After celebrating we then were brought to a realization… her hands sparkled with sky blue electricity. She looked at me and smiled, saying she was just like me now, and placing her hands on either side of my face with no harmful effect. She stared into my eyes and then smiled at me, saying that she wanted to spend tonight with me somewhere. I suggested we watched movies together and she gleefully accepted, proceeding to run down the hallway and put her presents in her room. Anna approached me and gave me two keys, saying the pink one was for Kristine. When she came back I gave her the pink key, the key of love. She took it and placed it on her necklace as a second pendant, thanking me for the wonderful gift. I told her the key was from Anna and she said I should not just go around saying I did not give gifts. The end of the year was well and truly on its way now, and this also meant the end of our first journey, but I told Kristine there was one last important thing to do.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt">We all walked into the town, where the normal people went about their business, but our goal was simple, find and kill the Neocrity known as Zach and assassinate him. We quickly came across a house on Fay Avenue that seemed to be his residence, but we were stopped by a bearded boy, who then fired energy pulses towards us. It seemed the destroyer was right about the difficulty of this bounty.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt">Later that night Kristine and I were lying on the couch together, and she giggled at the movie. However much to my surprise she switched it off and whispered to me. “Hey, I see the way you look at me, it’s cute… maybe you have something to say to me?” she asked, smiling in the dark. I hesitated greatly about this, but thinking back she did seem to return these emotions. “Maybe… no never mind… maybe another day.” I told her, she sighed and leaned on me, falling asleep besides me. When I was sure she couldn’t hear me anymore I whispered in her ear that I loved her, but couldn’t put her in that sort of danger. As she slept she rolled over, and I saw her face, she was so beautiful I couldn’t believe she was human or even Neocrity. Somebody like this was somebody from heaven. Maybe that’s where we will go together… maybe, but maybe not. == Chapter 10 == <p align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt">~Love~

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt">The next day I woke up on the couch beside her still. She remained asleep as I stood up and walked out the front door, but I was surprised to see that the soulless had launched a pre-emptive strike upon the city. The neocrities were fighting amazingly well and one of them called out for me to take Kristine and run from this battle, but when I ran back inside a few soulless were lifting her up in her sleep, and they ran when they saw I was watching them. I chased them into the city centre as it began raining; firing hooks of lightning to bring two of them down, and using the sword to destroy two more. The last one stood holding her up, backing against a wall in fear as I charged a lightning bolt to strike it with and in a flash it was no longer there. Kristine fell to the floor and I caught her, luckily for me she was still sleeping. I carried her to where Jackie had built a safe house in the shop we took her to when she was unconscious, and placed her on a bed while I walked back outside to join the struggle.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt">Brett and Anna ran past me, and worked together to defeat scores and scores of the attacking soulless, I fired lightning at the few soulless who attacked me, and after a while saw they did not want me… they wanted those who I cared about. I saw one of the destroyers assassins attack Hopey, but his punch was met with equal opposing force of Hopey’s punch, creating a kinetic shockwave. The assassin said to him that he would be seeing his dad soon and drew out a dagger, but Hopey blasted him away. I was then thrown aside by an explosion to my left, and saw the assassin with red hair, no longer wearing her mask. She threw a motorbike in a display of immense strength but I simply shifted through it, hearing the scrape of metal behind me. I fired bolts at her but she ducked and weaved her way around them, until she fired a kinetic blast from her hands which I jumped over. When I landed she pulled out two SMG’s and began firing, but I used the sword Anna gave me to deflect the bullets until the guns made a click, meaning they had no ammunition left. Throwing them aside she jumped up an incredible height onto a nearby roof, taunting me that she would get what she wanted eventually, and with that she vanished.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt">The Destroyer’s forces retreated and announced that we had one hour to prepare for another wave, but Anna and Adele ran to me and said that we needed to execute the plan. I nodded, not sure how this was going to work out, and manifested two soulblades before I began running after the retreating units. After three hours I found their base at the RSL club, it was teeming with energy and negativity as I walked towards it. Lightning struck the roof of the building as I touched the doors handle but Jackie told me to stop. “If you enter that place now you won’t ever come back… think about it, Kristine needs you more than ever, so you can’t fail. Promise me that you will always be there to bring her home.” She said, as I turned to look at her I nodded and told her she had my word on it. I returned to the others with her, and I saw the injured and those who were sent into a comatose state due to the effects of a soulless bite. It was horrible and cruel what the Destroyer was doing to every living being, and I looked to Kristine as she tended to her friends in the building. Maybe there was one thing I had to do in order to defeat the Destroyer, and you see… the truth is my name in neocrity haunts me to an equal extent as that word did on the cavern.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt">Anna saw how I felt about all that had happened today, and told me that what my name meant was nothing, it didn’t show my ultimate destiny. The truth is that my name translates to Destroyer if said in the right terms, and I wondered what this meant so I confronted Harriet about it, asking if she knew. “In 2012… in certain timelines a boy… a Neocrity named Zach became the destroyer, this was when they speculated the world would end and it did. The Destroyer then began moving to all universes to ensure all of his counterparts would transform. I’m sorry, but the very thing you’re protecting Kristine from is you.” She told me. The truth… it killed me inside, that night I looked up at the full moon and wondered if there was still any reason to keep fighting the inevitable, but as I thought about my feelings for this girl I realized that I would never hurt her no matter what, and I would also protect her at any cost… I stood up… I knew what I had to do…

Chapter 11
<p align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt">~What control does a man have, but his own heart? ~

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt">I walked into the rain, pulled my hood up and told Harriet to send me back to when I first arrived in Sturt mall. She hesitated but finally listened to me, opening the time vortex. I emerged in time to see the assassin jump into the mall to attack and I pulled my hood up as I ran forward, knowing what happened here. We fought just as I remembered it, and I defeated her with little effort this time. I turned to myself and completed my plan, imbuing the knife with a power amplifier as I gave it to myself. I left and returned to my own timeline, knowing I had just amplified my own powers, and I guess that’s cheating but who cares? If I inevitably would become the Destroyer then why not resist my destiny and enjoy the ride? I removed the hood and saw that the destroyer was approaching the city again, with an immense army beside him. I smiled at this and walked inside telling them that I needed them to trust me and buy time while I found a way to defeat the Destroyer for longer. They bravely agreed to fight with all of their strength until I could succeed in my mission.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt">Before the fight I told them that I was grateful for what they were about to do for me, and telling them to enjoy this fight as much as they possibly could. Everybody disbanded and all hell broke loose, the city became a battlefield with no holds barred. Every man and woman with powers was now part of a war that we had declared by not allowing the Destroyer to lay claim to this world. I ran to the tallest building in the city and drained the electricity out of the building, and then I proceeded to continue draining every powered object I could find in an attempt to gather enough electricity to summon a legendary lightning technique called ‘The Storm’. After the city was left with no power I began making my way to the destroyer, and on the way the overflowing power was destroying any soulless who was stupid enough to try and attack me.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt">I walked into the cavern of remembrance together with the other six chosen, Kristine, Connor who preferred to be called Cero, Hopey, Katy, and Brett. As we entered we saw glyphs of the ancient neocrities on the walls, and soon found out it was in a temple, not a cavern. The only light we had was the faint flicker of the torches on the walls and the glowing at the end of the tunnel. As we got closer to the tunnels end the others began vanishing into thin air until it was just Kristine and I. We entered the room… and we read about our destiny and our future… our future together. Kristine then read the paragraph about how we will have our memories removed at midnight when the love would fade. We had twenty seconds left until midnight, she smiled at me as she began to flicker out of being and into another location and said to me “I love you… I hope I do after this and I hope you love me back. With five seconds left she leaned forward and kissed me… it was my last memory until the times we had as children vanished with the arrival of a new year.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt">I continued walking until I was in range, I reached up to the clouds with both hands and as I swung down so too did the lightning storm strike the Destroyer. For the second time the Destroyer had been killed. == Chapter 12 == <p align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt">~Believe~

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt">As the Destroyer fell the assassin with red hair flung herself at me in rage, throwing me back against the RSL club building. She screamed at me that I had taken her only chance at being happy and murdered it with a ruthless, cold heart. I stood back up and told her that the needs of the thousands outweighed the needs of the one, but she replied that she was above the thousands I referred to. She manifested two possesed SMG’s and began shooting, in quick reaction I took cover behind a car and occasionally fired a lightning bolt at her, but only on the fifth try did I singe her hair. This made her angrier and she fired pulses down at me, and the pulses picked up rubble as they travelled until they would grow into a gigantic sphere of stone and glass. She threw these spheres at me until the ground was nearly ruined, and at that point she manifested all sorts of ballistics in an attempt to attack, first an RPG, which I caught with static electricity and threw away. Next she drew a shotgun, but it was not accurate enough to actually hit me but as she realised this she drew out a grenade launcher.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt">The explosion threw me into a tree, and she then proceeded to fire a flamethrower at it trying to burn it down. I jumped out and threw a car at her with a lightning hook, but she drew out a gigantic sword and sliced it in half, the two pieces skidding along the ground in a shower of sparks. She ran at me as I drew my soulblades and defended against her first strike, and then attacked with both weapons at once trying to get this battle to progress, but she seemed well versed in fighting… it was almost as though I had trained her in a past life, and then I realised she was in my past, part of my life before I received amnesia. I lowered my weapons much to her confusion and said to her I was sorry for whatever I may have done, and I did not want to fight her anymore. She, at first, seemed to be thinking the exact same way, but when she was close enough she stabbed me in the stomach with her weapon, and I fell to the ground. But the dream I had while Kristine was trying to heal me… that was interesting.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt">I woke up in some sort of fields, grassy, with flowers of all sorts of colours and some of my memories had returned. I saw the ghostly girl from the mansion standing in the distance and saw she was crying. I walked towards her and she turned to me and leant against me, and I didn’t know what else to do besides hug her. Wherever I was I began to think it was going to be an important task to escape this place. == Chapter 13 == <p align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt">~Dreaming~

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt">She vanished and the world around me changed into a house on a rainy day, with two young toddlers playing with their toys together, one broke hers and the boy offered her his one, and she smiled at him and hit the top of his head, to which he laughed and hit her shoulder. The Place then changed a second time to a day at primary school, and the 7 year old girl sat on the stairs crying, the boy sat beside her and put an arm around her, asking what was wrong. She told him her father had died the night before and she turned to him and also told him that everyone said she was a freak, but he lifted her chin and said “No, they’re just stupid.” The place around me changed yet again to a house with the parents outside, talking and the girl, now twelve and resemble Kristine, was trying dresses in her room, and asking the boy, who looked like me, what he thought of each dress. She came out in a bright yellow dress and blushed as he said she was stunning in the dress, but the look on her face afterwards was the look of a girl who liked somebody who was dating someone else.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt">Finally they were thirteen, and she was dancing alone at a party with everybody else slow dancing together, until he walked up and asked to dance with her, taking her hand and kissing it. She blushed and attempted to hide her face until he took her by the hands and began to dance with her. I watched as hours passed until he placed his hand on her cheek, and she stared at him in curiosity until he kissed her. The boy was me… and the girl was Kristine, but this dream was not yet over. It had shown my life with her but I was then shown a ritual of true Neocrity marriage, where they would combine a portion of their souls with one another to truly become two parts of the whole. The fused pieces of soul became rings that could not be removed no matter what, not even if they tried to take it off. The ceremony involved a dance between the two, under the full moon and they had to be holding the same foot long cloth for the entirety of the dance. At the end a ring would manifest on their ring finger and they would truly be one.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt">I was then shown that not only was my past lost from my mind but my future would be terrifying, even to the Destroyer. One day a mental symbiotic being would rise from the Chosen of war and become the second of the super conduits created by the destroyer. This ‘Beast’ would turn lovers against one another and would finally be the one to make Kristine leave me behind for another person. But the first of the super conduits was only able to be retrieved through a time distortion that I would ultimately repair but free the being named ‘Zirro’ from his prison. Destruction would rain until finally I would meet a girl named Aqua, and she would hold immense importance to my destiny whether I became the Destroyer or not. The entirety of my future was not foretold to but I would need to find a way to defeat these super conduits and destroy the Destroyer once and for all this time, the storm only bought us time, we have two years before the Destroyer can be fully reconstructed.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt">I was forced back into serenity and landed in the middle of a platform, seeing that it was blue. The fragment that was missing had a red glow and was pulsating. The centre then had a pulse of energy from the middle and I saw part of the picture, it was me, and the symbols were spirit and nightmare symbols. ‘Your soul is healing; you found something strong, a reason to fight, never let it go.’ A voice told me, and I saw the station shatter, revealing a key. I floated down to it and caught it, as another three stations appeared, connected by paths, one blue, one red, one green. I saw three floating figures, asleep, and they looked very familiar. This was the awakening. I walked towards the blue platform and saw Cheyenne sleeping, and I then saw a pillar rise on the edge of the station. I walked towards it and saw her soulblade’s hilt. I picked it up and drew it, seeing a katana like blade.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt"> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt">I walked toward the red station and saw Zack, also sleeping, a pillar rose behind him and I took the hilt, revealing a back sword, a one sided blade with a flat edge on the other side. I clipped the hilt onto my belt and moved on to the green station. I arrived to see a hooded figure, with two hilts on his cloak. “Tell me… Tell me why they picked you.” He said, drawing his soulblades, they both looked like Fenrir’s. I drew my soulblade and he attacked. I managed to hold him off until he jumped and floated, seeing the pictures of my friends on the station. He then told me I should wake up and save her one last time and prove I do truly love her. == Chapter 14 == <p align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt">~Waking up~

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt">I looked out upon the chaos that the Destroyer had unleashed, Floods, fires, hurricanes, and earth-quakes. He was destroying the world using the darkness of the souls of humans, and we had to stop him. I ran into the city, the memory was kicking back in; my world now looked like earth again. I destroyed soulless as I ran through the city; there was a great deal of them in the world now. ‘The realm of hell holds a great amount of soulless, and so you will use the keys, two years I can give you, despite having the keys already you may not be able to use them all before him, and the girl you care so much about will try too. Now hasten little wolf, time is not your ally.’ I cast lightning in a wave and destroyed the approaching soulless, ‘you are soon to be a true master of the soulblade.’

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt">I arrived at the church in wagga wagga, looking for the truth, only to see a miniature soulless. It then looked back at me and grew into a massive creepy looking thing. I drew a soulblade, my true soulblade, not the standard Fenrir blade that I was given by the order in the scroll. It smashed the ground with its fists and a sky board caused me to rise off my feet, I had to stay in the air to win. It launched dark missiles at me, saying how it wanted to kill my friends; how it would kill everyone who meant something to me, how… it would kill her. I fired light missiles at it and blinded it completely; it called out at me in rage, punching at the air wildly.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt">I could fly. “YOU ARE BROKEN AND WEAK!!” it called out, as it created a fountain of darkness. It was summoning Lucifer, The master of Darkness. I watched as a horned creature rose from the ground and stared at me with blood red eyes. He told me I was about to die, and I drew a second soulblade. It reached out and picked up a boulder and threw it, casting a sort of fire spell to engulf it completely. I used electromagnetism to catch it and throw it back, He screamed in a dark rage. He created a beam of energy and began trying to hit me with it, only for me to fly around it. I then made three pillars raise from the ground around it him and electrocuted him until he collapsed.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt">I saw Jacob with a key, the soulless were behind him and he yelled “backwards SPARTA KICK!!!” and kicked them all away, drawing his soulblade, a gun blade. He started to shoot at the approaching soulless, I turned around and saw soulless coming towards me and started to attack them with my twin soulblades. I destroyed soulless as quickly as I could and Jacob yelled about Nazi zombies. The world slowly began to darken, I saw lightning, and darkness coming from the clouds, and I wondered how much longer we could keep this war up until the Destroyer won. My nightmare could be my life extinguishing, but I heard Kristine’s voice, the voice of the Girl I loved so much and I found strength in the darkest hour of my dreaming. I fought with all my strength as the world began to fade again. == Chapter 15 == <p align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt">~There is nothing to fear~

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt">I opened my eyes and felt my entire body being shaken back and forth by somebody, and when they stopped I was looking Kristine in the eyes again. She stared at me in a wave of relief and slapped me for worrying her, then as I went to ask what it was for she hugged me tightly and said “Don’t ever make me think I’ve lost you again!” I looked around, barely breathing and asked for help, but Tom, Anna and Jacob were all laughing at this as Kristine asked what it was like nearly dying. I said that you dream, a whole lot but it is very beneficial if you make it back to reality. She realized my memories had partially returned and asked what I had seen. “Our pasts together, the past you can have continue if you would like.” I told her, but she blushed and did not answer me just yet. I played with her necklace and said to her I was glad she kept it now, knowing that I would need her to care about me the same way in out near future. Tom asked if we would need to fight the Destroyer again and I told him the truth. “The Destroyer cannot resurrect for another two years, and when he does he will have two metaphorical dragons by his side, it doesn’t get easier from here I’m afraid.”

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt">We met up with the others at the lake and discussed things about our future, and Anna showed me more of my past

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt">As I walked forth master Willow greeted me, and I wondered why he was here with seemingly no effort. He smiled and said “I always knew you were the strongest apprentice I taught, but you can no longer protect the ones you care about, you are not strong enough to do what must be done, and so you must exist no longer.” He launched light chains at me and I heard Aleesha call out and slash at the chains, “I’ll deal with this, okay?” She said and told Willow that he should be ashamed for attacking his own student. Willow just laughed and told her that she was weak and broken, something only those who have fallen to darkness say, Willow was the Destroyers apprentice. Aleesha attacked him, but he was quicker and blocked with no effort. “Darkness will consume us all, and you would defend the trigger?” He asked, I looked back and saw that Anna was trying to use a spell to break the barrier.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt">Willow charged and Aleesha fought back for a while, until he disarmed her and I caught the blade, as he was about to kill her I impaled him once, then jumped over him and stabbed him again. As he was taking his final breath he looked over to me, “maybe… you really are what they need… maybe… you… can defeat him…” and then he faded away in a shower of light sparks. I looked forward to see the Destroyer, smiling. “Why do you trouble yourself so boy? The man was bent on doing harm to your friends. But you’re not progressing fast enough, come to the place where all soulblade wielders leave their mark on fate, the place neither darkness nor light can touch, there you shall see Kristine meet her end, AND THE LAST LIGHT WITHIN YOU WILL DIE!!!!” he said as he summoned a vortex, sending himself, and my friends to the grave of the void.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt">I was alone, and I thought about my armour and hit the button on the left giblet. My armour then appeared and I saw the HUD reading the environment and the read out told me the coordinates of the Graveyard. I then opened a gate and went to finish the soulblade war once and for all. I arrived and the devourer showed me the other 14 keys and attached them all to his soulblade, while I attached the key of love to my soulblade. He transformed the Claws into a pair of cryptic wings, and started to fly around, shooting dark missiles at me. I then used the light to make a shield around myself and the missiles bounced off. He landed and made it into a blade on his leg and started to kick at me and I jumped back away from him. “FOOL! If you will not submit they will all die!” He called out, changing his weapon into a beam and firing it at me, but Michelle jumped in the way.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt">I ran over and removed my helmet; looking to see how badly she was hurt. She looked at me and smiled, saying “it was good to see you again, just remember what you’re fighting for.” I couldn’t do anything to help, and I felt tears running down my face. “She reminds you of me, remember that.” And she took her last breath. “She was wea-“started the devourer but I choked him using telekinesis, I never had been so close to the darkness. “I’LL KILL YOU!!” I yelled, smashing him on the ground multiple times, and then throwing him at a stone pillar, the pillar smashed. As I walked forward I called out “YOU’VE TAKEN EVERYTHING FROM ME!!!!” he looked up, I could see the fear in his eyes. “Your feelings…. Are not real.” I lifted the soulblade and yelled “THEY ARE REAL TO ME!!!!”
