As Dennis and Claire waited for an hour, the time itself flows differently in the outside world. As the time flow was going back to normal, no one else can remember what happened or what they were doing during the sudden time of events.
"Ok, we going to have to make a cake for Dennis." X said after showing everyone the calendar.
"Today is Dennis's birthday and he will come back after he beats Farion."
Everyone else understood, but Nidializ was confused on something.
"Wait, won't this be as well all your birthdays?" Nidializ asked as every alternate version of Dennis looked at her.
"In a way... yes but this is different, we may be all Dennis's but we want to celebrate our Birthdays differently." Future Dennis gave Nidializ an answer that explained it all, but she wanted to know more.
"Look theirs a reason why we aren't celebrating it in the same day, too much stuff will happen if we celebrate everything in one day." Eve said while been honest and giving an apple slice to Neko D.
They were prepared for Dennis's return, but it was slowly getting late.
Meanwhile, in the dream world, the one-hour limit was over for Dennis and Claire and they moved forward to face Farion to end this.
"I think I can one shot him." Dennis said.
"Probably I can." Claire said back to Dennis.
They kept fighting on who could one shot Farion that they didn't even notice that they entered Farion's chamber.
"Da hell you two fighting for!?" Dj asked since he saw his friend arguing half way in.
"Dj!! Who do you think that can one shot Farion? Me or Claire!?" Dennis asked.
As Dj was disappointed that he pulled out a twenty-dollar bill and gave it to Farion.
"You idiots were betting on our argument since the start?!?" Claire got mad that she took aim at Dj.
"He already predicted this happening and even predicted all of our moves that we can do once we fight him..." Dj was holding the bars of his cage tightly as he was about to lose all hope of getting out.
Dennis sighed and took off his glasses and looked at the roof.
"There are 999 possibilities that this will end badly and we won't be able to return but there's 1 that never occurred to me until now... it is a shame that such a beautiful roof must be destroyed..."
As Dennis was about to put on his glasses, Farion looked thru all his predictions but he never saw that Dennis would destroy the roof while Claire took the opportunity and set Dj free from his cage.
"Game... Over..."
Dennis made the first move and jumped directly on to Farion while charging a high concentrated magic on his left hand. He landed on one of Farion's legs and jumped again to aim at his chin. As Farion was prepared for a counter, Dennis already knew it will still hit but its less damage. Farion was sent flying that it broke the roof that made him go into a stationary mode in the air.
"So, what now?" Dj asked after seeing Farion wait in the sky.
"The usual, hit them hard until they fall!" Dennis said as Claire took a shot at Farion that it made dent on his armor.
"Claire, focus on hitting his center. If you make a big dent, I can pierce it." Dennis gave Claire an order that lead Farion to be vulnerable.
"Got it." Claire took another shot as Dennis was getting ready for his next move.
"Dj... I ma need you to throw a piece of the ground at Farion." Dennis gave another order, but it was a method to get up close.
"Wait how?!" Dj asked as he was trying to understand the situation.
"Use your weapon!"
Dennis cut an enormous chunk off the ground and plunged his weapon to get a hold of his weight. Dj called out Gaia and slowly was lifting the piece with his hands. As he was holding the piece of ground on his head, he quickly tossed it above Farion.
"You mortals dare to defy my power!?" Farion was looking down at those who defied his power.
"YES!!" They all screamed.
Claire keeps concentrated fire at Farion's center that had a perfected dent for Dennis to pierce it. Dj grabbed Claire's hand and helped reach the roof by tossing her and followed by a burst shot from Claire's weapon for them to reach the roof.
"Dj, you go assist Dennis, I'll stay here to take down the projectiles that will hit." Dj raised his thumb and took a leap of faith to reach Dennis.
"It's time for me to end this once and for all..." Dennis cast his sword away and jumped on to Farion's head with an axe drop that could be heard over miles that reached the exit doors.
As Dennis left eye glowed once more, he felt as he could float for a short duration, he took his remaining time to get his sword and jumped down towards Dj.
"Need a lift?" Dj said as he was trying to give a hand to Dennis. Dennis smiled at Dj as he was accepting the offer.
"Now let it have it!" Dj tossed Dennis at Farion at full speed.
"I had enough of this!!" Farion unleashed a rain of missiles that was targeting Dennis.
"Not happening!" Claire took down the missiles that can probably hit Dennis directly, leaving a complete opening for Dennis and Farion to settle the score.
"You should give up; I am the overlord of this domain and you must bow down to me!" Farion stated.
"You leave me no choice..." Dennis closed his eyes and held his sword with both hands, as he felt that time itself was moving slowly around him.
"Oblivion..." Dennis said.
His body moved in high velocity to where the dents are on Farion's armor. When he made contact, he ended up piercing thru leaving a giant hole in Farion's chest.
"You... have defeated me...? I won't let you survive!"
Farion looked at Dennis with even more rage and wanted to kill Dennis along with him as his last dying wish. Dennis turned around to notice that Farion was still moving. He aimed his sword to the blank sky and used one more move to end this.
"Oblivion!"
Dennis swung his sword at Farion that unleashed a gray energy beam that sent Farion land on the ground.
"I underestimated you... But it's far from over..."
A ball of light came out from Farion's body that was slowly floating in the direction that Dennis was going to land.
"A reward? But why?" Dennis got confused, he didn't expect a reward from his opponent.
"You will soon understand why..." Farion's body was slowly vanishing, leaving no trace behind, and once Farion's body disappeared, the ball of light revealed what was inside.
"A bag...?" Dennis looked what was inside and he tried to pull out something.
"A key that can open anything, a shirt, and some fancy gloves?" Dennis said. Claire yanked the fancy gloves from Dennis's hands and put them on.
"Well, what now? You have beaten Farion, but how do we get out?" Dj had to ask since it will take a lot of time to reach the actual exit.
"You know, I was prepared for this kind of situation..." Dennis snapped his fingers, calling out Heartless to open a gate to reality.
"Like I said, I was prepared for this" Dennis said.
"So, this means we are going to find our kids soon?" Claire had to ask since she was getting worried now that Farion was defeated.
"If I have to say, they must be nearby waiting for us to show up." As they went thru the portal, Heartless closed it off and was waiting for them while sitting down.
"You're not coming?" Dennis asked.
"I wasted a lot of energy in here, I should be fine in here for a few hours..." Everyone looked at Heartless and Claire was the only one to approach him while she was putting on the fancy gloves.
"You wouldn't..."
Heartless was getting scared as he saw Claire with the intentions of causing harm. Dennis was slowly stepping back while dragging Dj with him.
"This won't hurt a bit..." As Claire prepared her hands, she suddenly slapped Heartless face that even Dennis felt it even after he was getting out.
"Dude, u ok?" Dj was concerned about Dennis that looked as if he was in pain.
"Yea... just having a bad feeling for tonight..."
Dennis and Dj stood still, waiting for Claire to come out. After a while, the sounds of the slaps stopped, and Dennis got even worried. They saw Claire heading towards them with her right-hand dripping blood.
"Let me guess... you slapped him to an inch of his life...?" Dennis had to ask since when he saw the blood dripping from the glove made him remember something.
"Yes, how did you guess that?" Claire asked.
Dennis stood silent and did not want to respond to that question after he turned around and opened the exit to the same park they were after they got out of Valhalla.
"So, what's inside the bag?" Claire tapped it, trying to figure out what's in it.
"Then let's make a bet, if you can knock out everyone in the house tonight, you may take out the first item from the bag" Dennis said.
"That's too easy." Claire already has the game on her hands, they just need to get back to the house and to settle the score.
"Claire, Dennis! We may have one problem... I can see something floating in the sky."
Dennis and Claire turned around to the direction that Dj was looking over and saw something in the sky.
"Well, if you look at that, if it isn't the school household." Dennis pointed it out after recognizing the structure moving out from the clouds.
"Can we please hurry? We have a party to go now." Claire said.
"Are we walking...?" Dennis had to ask since he knows how far they are.
"We could get a taxi or an Uber."
Dj suggested while making sure if one of the two services were available. But Dennis does not agree with that and thought of something else.
"I mean, is not like we can actually tele- We could have teleported back to the house..."
Dennis face palmed himself after realizing that they could do this.
"I swear, I must have done something stupid that made me forget everything about magic including to you two." Dennis pointed at Dj and Claire while they were slowly remembering how to use magic.
"Or we could do this." Dj touched a three and created a doorway to the house.
"I figured that since Gaia is the mother of nature, it may create paths to reach our destinations." Dj said.
"Right then, let's go!" As the teams sets off to go back to the house to celebrate, everyone was getting ready for something.
