CHAPTER 11
Zeu Euve: Then what, teamwork but....the electric fiend was the last one out of them. It could move at supersonic speed and had enhanced reflexes and could generate it's own electricity. Many students of my master were killed and he himself had broken his left hand. Finally out of endurance, his powers gradually dwindled and me and my master stopped him and took all of them to the Cave of Numenous, where the ethereal forces dampened every evil's magical powers.
Me: Master, now?
Master Kresis: I have a way to stop them without killing them all
Me: What is it, master?
Master Kresis: I can't separate them from this demon body but if someone can control it, it can be ended.
Xzyetal: I'm ready to do it...use me
Zeu Euve: No master, I'm ready to sacrifice myself.
Master Kresis had to take a difficult decision in that provoking situation. Finally he chose him over me.
Master Kresis: Zeu, if anything happens to me, you have to take the position I have.
Me: But master...
Master Kresis: I know it's hard for you to take in but sometimes we have to hold back for the better tomorrow.
Me: Your words, your order...
He unleashed a magical force on them and brought their soul inside Xzyetal. As soon it was completed, he lost his form but looked nothing like Baine but a rather a creature of golden body. It looked like somehow the powers of the necromancers, Baine and his love for his planet and kindness had mixed together all in one and mutated him.
Master Kresis: How do you feel now?
Xyzetal(grunts): Its...
Me: I think he is losing control
Xyzetal: No..no....I can hold it within me but Baine told that he released this force from beneath the ground.
Me: So?
Xyzetal(to Kresis): Can you take me there?
Master Kresis: Why?
Xzyetal(gasps): I think it is possible to seal this power from where it came.
Master Kresis: If I do that, you too can be sealed forever.
Me: We can find out a way to help you
Xyzetal: Maybe you can do it but what if someday I become corrupted by these immense powers?
Me: But what about you?
Xyzetal(grunting): How will you feel that time? You will be responsible for death for everyone
Me: You are risking your life
Xyzetal: Kres...its your duty to protect us, no matter who it is. Did you forget it??
Master Kresis(weeps): Let's go then...thank you for believing in me
He took him from where Baine raised. Before leaving, he smiled at me. Maybe he knew that, he would never return....
Savlino: So this staff belongs...
Zeu Euve: Yes, the last token of my hero, my master and friend....
Savlino: So what happened to Xyzetal?
Zeu Euve(seeing towards General): Thats I need you to find out.
Urius: What??
Savlino: Those corrupted powers are too violent and why do think those will be useful?
Zeu Euve: I saw the qualities which he had within you and those are the only way you can get powerful enough to defeat Empephus.
Savlino: What if I don't control it?
Zeu Euve: I don't know the answer to that
Luton: Ahh plan without consequences
Savlino(gasping): You don't even know what happened with Xyzetal.
Zeu Euve: You've have to trust me. My master and his sacrifice shouldn't go in vain.
Savlino: That's what I'm trying to say.
Zeu Euve: You are scared. Aren't you?
Savlino: Are trying to provoke me?
Zeu Euve smiles...
He detransforms again
Empephus: Hey, are you well?
Princess: Just lethargic and...
Empephus: Sorry that I have to leave you now but after everything is settled, we will be together, I promise you that....
Princess: Please come back soon....I don't feel so good
Empephus(laughs): You will...sure you will but for now...
Empephus: Melatonin, Genesis..
He kisses her again and she too is charged now, holding him by his neck and pulling his shirt. He too gets charged and hugs her tightly and places his hand over her waist....
Slowly she falls asleep and Genesis lays her on the bed and pulls up the blanket over her. Genesis commands, "power down" and heads towards to the meeting.
Genesis: I can't keep on doing this
Empephus: Is your battery down?
Genesis: 'Genesis metamorphosize, Genesis transform, Genesis demetamorphosize for kisses??
Empephus: It's because you're very useful
Genesis: Chemicals for kisses. Who does that?
Empephus: Shame on me
Genesis: No shame on me...don't bring your feelings in my line
Empephus: Well, how long is the effect going to last?
Genesis: It depends on the person
Empephus: What about the kisser?
Genesis: The effect has no relation with the surface area of your lips. I meant the person who is been affected.
Empephus: Aghh that's a silly and rude line from an intellect like you...
Genesis: I know so I secreted few extras on your lips too
Empephus: It's really cringeworthy though
Genesis: Says the man who kisses someone's else fiancée
Empephus: Genesis, dead ones are loved not to do love
Genesis: Love is abstract, Empephus.
Empephus: But sex is concrete
Genesis: There is no scientific definition or meaning to it
Empephus: Love is the absence of judgement
Genesis: That's the reason I don't have a heart
Empephus: No more debate on this
Empephus reaches the hall and takes his seat.
Empephus: So how many of you agree?
Major Desis: I agree
Captain Pycus: I agree
Commander Azer: I'm with you, my Lord
Director Mak: Me too
'PAUSE'
Empephus was waited for the 5th reply...
