Crystal Symphony

Alistor swings his blade down at the monster's eye. The attack punctures the beast, nearly missing its whole eye by an inch. A part of the monster's eye is blinded. It begins rampaging in a mindless rage. 


It starts ramming and tackling mindlessly across the room. Alistor nearly gets thrown in the air from one of its attacks. Katty had to catch him. 


"Damn! Missed by a small inch. I'll have to try again." 


He rushes back to reach for the edge again, but suddenly another force intervenes. A colossal fire attack impacts the monster destroying it before their very eyes. 


It was none other than Sarah and Winoa at the doors. 


"Huh? Well, that doesn't matter." Sarah pestered back. 


"Huh? Who are you guys anyway?" Katty asked. 


After a brief moment of introductions… 


"Wait…so you mean Auroa was always a demon?" Alistor gasped. 


"Yes…he was a war criminal that committed many atrocious acts centuries ago," Sarah stated. "My ancestors sealed him away in the great tree, but I made a grave mistake releasing his seal when I was a little." 


A flashback shows Sarah as a little girl removing the seal tag off a tree. 


"I never expected to hear this…." Alistor nodded. 


"Same here..." Katty agreed. "It's hard to believe Rare is his father. Auroa helped us through some of our toughest battles. So he can't be all bad." 


The news was an unexpected surprise to Alistor. Sarah only had her goal set in mind. 


"I've made a mistake releasing him back into this world. I've had this guilt for so long. I've trained under Kaida for so long. Just for this moment." 


"Yeah! We'll put master Kaida's training to use." Winoa jumped. "We'll show them how it's done. We'll put an end to Auroa for sure." 


"There's No time to waste! They already began powering up for the cannon." Winoa mentioned. 


"Yeah! It's a weapon capable enough to destroy a whole city. So we must stop whoever is up there now and destroy it." 


"Then what we're waiting for? Let's move!" Alistor said. 


They continue their advance through the next spiraling hallway. Havok is seen walking in the cold. A golden beam of energy powers the four central pillars at the top. Two monsters now only remain by the general's side. Watching the cannon getting powered by the fortress. 


"The Nova cannon is halfway powered," Skyark reported. "Soon, we'll be able to decimate Capital City in one strike." 


"We must not let our monster's efforts be in vain. SPIKE! SKYARK! Gather all the Vortex soldiers in the fortress. You are to delay Alistor and his team long as possible. Now Go!" Havok ordered. 


The two remaining monsters make their leave while Havok remains at the top. He stares out into the distant cold of the horizon. 


"Just try and stop me. I'LL BE WAITING!!!"
