Twisted mind

"Come forth, Marcel, Light, Leo, Kaida, Juliana, and Mono." Joseph ordered.

The six monarchs stepped towards and kneeled. "Marcel said he had wonderful news for us! So…what is it, Marcel?" Joseph asked.

Marcel pulled his black hair back and took a deep breath. "The legendary warrior, Adisa…is dead. I can confirm it. I went with Summer and she showed me his remains, the boy is no longer with us." Marcel reassured.

"There's still a threat!" Juliana yelled out.

"A threat? What threat?" Light asked.

Juliana was a tall-muscular woman, with short brown hair, broad shoulders, stood around 6'2, and had a long red cape that covered her body.

Light was a young man who had a questionable personality. He stood around 5'9, glowing and healthy skin. He wore a blue jacket, with tight brown jeans, and normal blue shoes.

"I'm the only one that tho is Udo's a threat!? You all can't be that foolish. That man is a threat to our plans!" Juliana said.

"You think you can take him?" Leo asked as he stared at the ground.

"Yes. I do." Juliana said confidently.

Joseph looked down at Juliana with an blank expression on his face. "We the higher-ups will make a decision discussing Udo. But for the mean time, stay away from him. You don't like to listen, so I'll tell you again. Stay the hell away from him, Juliana." Joseph said with a new voice that surprised everyone. Joseph's voice went from a playful voice to a deep and sturdy one.

"Fine." She whispered.

"Since Adisa is dead….our plan won't fail. That was the last guardian ever! Now that he's gone….it's all over." Joseph laughed.

"What about the woman with claws?" Marcel asked.

"Woman with claws?" Mono asked. Mono was a beautiful woman. Black hair, blue eyes, and wore a dark-red dress.

"The Kani clan found a woman from the ocean. She has beautiful aura. I've never seen anything like it." Marcel explained.

"I'll go pay Kani a visit and see for myself. In the meantime, you all rest until I summon you again." Joseph ordered.

Joseph snapped his fingers. Everything went dark.

Juliana was teleported beside a tree on the island, near the great mountains of the higher-ups.

"Screw your orders, Joseph! I only listen to Quentesa! Not you. I'll fight Udo…and I'll kill him!" Juliana laughed as she marched through the forest.

Jade and Udo walked around near the clan discussing what to do next.

"You want to go after them or what? I believe whoever took them went to the dark island." Jade said.

"The dark island, huh?" Udo laughed.

"What's so funny? You know someone there or whatever?" Jade asked.

Udo looked up at the sky. "Yeah. The higher-ups made me send him to the dark island….he was like Adisa." Udo explained.

Jade had chills over her body. "My father told me the story of the Great War that took place on the island. But, I had no idea that it had something to do with a child of prophecy. You…think he's alive?" Jade asked.

"No. I believe he's dead. He and another friend of mine. Out of all the people I loved the most…only one got to stay with me, her name was Livy."

"Where is she now?"

"Livy is….dead." Udo scolded.

"With all due respect Udo….I've always wondered why you've never wanted to talk about your childhood or family you had. You said your friend killed your mother? So…the guy on the dark island killed her? If so, then why do you miss him? And how did Livy die."

Udo paused for a moment. "Hello? Are you gonna answer my question?" Jade raised her voice.

"Jade…run" Udo whispered as he slowly pulled both of his thick swords out. Jade looked around and saw no one.

"Where are you looking!? Do you see someone!?"

Far away from the higher-up mountains, stood Juliana. "Found you." She said with a twisted-dark smile.

She crouched down and leaped with great force towards Udo and Jade.

"From this far? Are you kidding me!?", Udo said as he pushed Jade away. "RUN NOW!"

Jade was pushed away with great force as she went flying a couple feet away.

Juliana crashed through the forest and cut Udo's right arm off in the process. While in air, Jade froze and stared in shock.

Udo…his arm…cut? Why's going on? Who is that woman? Udo….Udo-

The smoke cleared as Juliana locked the blood off of her hand. "Your pretty easy to damage. I was expecting more since I've heard all of the stories about "The great Udo" Juliana laughed.

"One of the six monarchs…what do you want woman?" Udo asked as he used his other arm to try and stop the bleeding.

"You haven't been injured like this in a while have you!? The others have nothing to do with this! I just want to kill you and someone to give me a challenge in a fight!" She laughed.

Rain poured at Udo stood his ground. "I'm losing a lot of blood, he thought. He looked on the ground and noticed his right arm clutching on to the sword he held. Now he only has one arm and one sword to defend himself.

"What's wrong? I thought you were a little chatterbox!" Juliana mocked.

Udo looked over and noticed Jade knocked out. "I pushed her to hard, Shit." He whispered.

Juliana pulled a long spear from behind her back and pointed the edge towards Udo. "I have…to kill you, Udo. For the king!" She said while getting in a battle stance.

Udo said nothing. He picked up the other sword from the ground with his left arm.

The rain grew more violent as Udo and Juliana took their stances. "I'm so excited, Udo!" She laughed as she turned red in the face.

********

A yellow crystal glowed in the dirt near the Leo clan. A huge man emerged from the Earth and stretched as he was in the middle of the jungle naked. "Looks like I was lead in the wrong spot. Damn that woman! She can't…even tell me where to go first! I'm Gem damn it. I'm just here to kill and serve the King's servants!" Gem yelled as his voice echoed throughout the forest.

"Time to hunt!"

*********

Crystal led Colt and Aubrie up a giant hill. It felt as though they had been walk for hours as the sky suddenly changed colors.

"Where are we?" Colt asked.

"Part of my big world." Crystal said back.

The sky was green, the grass was blue, and the stars were shining with red in the green sky. "Welcome to…Adoni. Home of the mythical beasts!" Crystal laughed, showing off her fangs.

"Y-your a mythical beast? No! Your lying! Those creatures are just a myth! There's no way you-no….that would explain so much! Why she walks like that, talks like that, even fights like that! Crystal is…"

"It's about time you figured it out! But…my mission isn't over yet, Colt. I need you and Aubrie for a special mission."

Colt stopped following Crystal and stood his ground. We…have to escape! We can't defeat a whole pack of mythical beasts! My people taught us all about them school just for stories! But, if she's really one, that means that the pack is moving according to the king's orders! The beasts have a king that they obey at all times! Mythical beast are creatures that aren't from this world! They're another species of human-like creatures and are very powerful! If we aren't on earth right now then…it means we're on their planet! All I have to do is-Colt stopped thinking to himself as Crystal grabbed him by the neck and pulled his head closer to her mouth.

"I've never had an Akie before! Now that the final guardian is dead…who's gonna stop us! This is ours now! Your people are finished, Colt!" Crystal laughed as she threw Colt to the ground and held Aubrie tight in her arms.

"A man is supposed to protect! But your the complete opposite, aren't you, Colt?"

Colt slowly got to his feet and took deep breaths. "Why did your even become a warrior!? Your weak and scared! You can't do anything in this situation at all! Your pathetic, trash, a damn moron who thought he was up to the task!" Crystal laughed as her claws were getting closer to Aubrie's neck.

"D-don't do it." Colt begged as he fell to his knees. "Please don't kill her! Aubrie is everything I could ask for in a friend! Don't do it!" Colt yelled.

Crystal stared at Colt for a while, not saying a single word. "I begged like that to when my family was dying." She whispered.

Suddenly, Aubrie used a blade she had kept hidden in her pocket and jabbed it in Crystal's neck.

"RUN COLT!" She screamed as Crystal let out a cruel scream. Colt froze on the ground and stared in horror.

Now's the chance to escape! I…I can't leave her! Why can't I move!? Move Colt! Move!, Colt thought to himself.

He watched as Crystal slammed Aubrie to the ground, breaking her neck. Crystal's claws appeared as she jabbed Aubrie in the throat…leaving her lifeless on the ground.
