Aliyah and Vexana turned and saw Nakamura smiling. He smiled, "You think it is so easy to defeat me and kill me. I am the apple of the eye of Xao Chang. I defeated many big legends and established half of Xao Chang's empire. I single-handedly killed half of your family members." Aliyah and Vexana pulled the swords out of their backs and threw them away. Aliyah slowly sat on the floor and chuckled, "You are strong and I respect that. But, you are not invincible. I knew that you would do such a thing and I was prepared for it." Nakamura asked, "What do you mean?" Aliyah smiled and a ray of red light passed through her and then impaled Nakamura.
Nakamura and Aliyah started to burn simultaneously and slowly Nakamura turned into ashes. Vexana held Aliyah by the arms and said, "Why did you have to do this? It was not necessary." Aliyah smiled weakly, "It was. I had to. I did and I won't repent for it. Always remember me for my choices, especially the hard ones." She smiled and soon turned into ashes. Vexana screamed as Elgin and Trisha came running inside the room. Alice, Daina, Phantom Robert, Safi, Kayuba and Bayu also entered the room. They all stood surrounding Vexana who was holding Aliyah's ashes. They all looked at Vexana screaming and crying and tears rolled down their eyes. Alice hugged Vexana and they all slowly started to hug her.
A voice rang throughout the room and Xao Chang emerged into the room. He smiled, "The battle is still not over. There are still more people to die and more deaths to witness. Cry all together in the afterlife." Xao Chang revolved the room and all fell in a hot room and chains bound all of them. Xao Chang walked towards Alice and said, "Mother Manaca chose the wrong person to be the bearer of the Blood Spear. You are like a fragile doll. How can you defeat me if you are treated like a baby everywhere?"
He walked towards Vexana and smiled, "Love and hate both originate from the same place and yet you never showed any darkness inside your heart. I could have used a witch like you in my team. But, you remained a loyal dog for that disloyal Aliyah." He walked towards Elgin and smiled, "Elsinore Versalis. The only remaining person of the Namaria lineage. You had many opportunities to be a better person than your present self and yet you chose a bad person like Aliyah who treated you more like a servant than a friend. You should have accepted my proposal. You would have Cindy and your son with you today." He walked towards Safi and smiled, "Young blood thrills me. Sad thing you are on the wrong side." He walked towards Phantom and smiled, "A creature born out of bad choices and lived all his life making bad choices."
He walked towards Kayuba and said, "You were the best of the Monastery. You could have been my successor and yet you chose the wrong people and BETRAYED ME!" He kicked him in the face and walked towards Bayu and smiled, "An usurper and destroyer of the Monastery. I should have shown you no mercy at that time." He walked towards Robert and said, "Ages ago, your brother and you came to the Monastery and begged Bacca to grant you powers. You two took an oath to serve as the servants of the Monastery, but you betrayed not only your brother but also me. The great Xao Chang. Didn't you ever feel a slight fear of me?" Robert smiled, "Monsters like you don't deserve loyalty. You are not my master. Me and my brother offered our loved ones for the power and spent all of our life doing evil things for you. My brother, Robin turned into a monster like you and you are the reason for it."
Xao Chang smiled, "You mortals are slaves to your immoral temptations and titillations and do everything in your power to achieve them at any cost. You commit all kinds of evils and crimes and don't feel even an iota of guilt for it. You didn't feel bad when you kidnapped and raped thousands of innocent women. You sold women and made millions by that evil profession and now you blame me for your evil deeds. Did I tempted you or did I invite you to beg for powers from me?" Xao Chang smiled and walked towards his throne. He said, "Tomorrow morning, I will extract all the power from Alice and will wake up Xao Lin. Till then, kindly enjoy all your last moments with some of your old friends." He smiled and walked away.
Kenchi and Assayah walked towards Kayuba and Bayu. Kenchi looked at Kayuba and said, "Such a shame! You could have been much more than just a traitor. But, you chose to be an idiot and die with these morons." Kayuba smiled, "I chose the right path. You won't see it because you are evil too. You always exploited people who trusted you and harmed them for your own personal motives." Kenchi smiled, "Blah! Blah! Blah! You are just sad that you are such an idiot. But, there is still time. Join me and I will forgive you."
Kayuba asked, "What do you mean?" Kenchi walked towards Kayuba and whispered in his ear, "After, Xao Chang wakes Xao Lin, I will attack him and then will capture Xao Lin's spirit inside me. You just have to capture Assayah and kill him. I promise you that I will forgive all your sins and make you the general of my new Monastery." Kayuba smiled, "And you call me a traitor? Shameless and corrupt. I would rather die than help such a double faced person like you." Kenchi smiled, "Suit yourself. But, don't complain later that I didn't give you a chance." He smiled and walked away. Assayah stopped near Bayu and said grimly, "I always knew that you would meet your end like this. I just hoped that you will realise your mistake and ask for forgiveness once. But, you kept making more mistakes and now even forgiveness cannot save your life.
But, still I want to hear sorry from your mouth once." Bayu looked at him and said, "Do you think Xao Chang cares about you or will he think twice before executing you if he finds fault in you? For him you are just a toy. A servant whom he can use and dispose of as his wish. He conspired and killed many of our loved ones. He showed no mercy on us and treated us like trash. He always showed us that we don't deserve love and affection and that we are just weapons. If you still want to serve him and stay his puppet forever, I feel pity for you, Master Assayah." Assayah was taken aback by the last word. Bayu last called him as Master Assayah when he was still his pupil. Assayah stopped talking and slowly walked towards his room.
Kystion and Gayumb walked towards Alice and Vexana and stopped near them. Kystion smiled, "Alice and Vexana. It is very sad that Aliyah is not here with you two. I really feel her absence dearly. If she was here, she would have said some very sweet words." Vexana smiled, "You are lucky she ain't here. She just killed Nakamura. Just think how powerful she is." Kystion smiled, "Of course. She is powerful. But, stupid too. She sacrificed her life for cowards like you. Your only strength lies in Aliyah's wisdom and leadership. Without her, you are just useless." Vexana said angrily, "Open my hands and we will see that." Gayumb smiled, "You will get your chance tomorrow. We will give you five minutes to fulfill your last wish." Vexana smiled, "Good. Five minutes is what I will need to end you two." Kystion kicked her in the stomach and smiled, "We will see that." They walked away.
Ryder walked towards Trisha and sat near her. Trisha slowly touched his face and a tear rolled down her cheek. Ryder pushed her hand away and said grimly, "For God's sake stop this false sadness. I wasted my whole life for a bitch like you. Sometimes I feel that I should have never met you." Trisha said grimly, "Yes. You shouldn't have met me or loved me. I am a bitch. The biggest one. I, stupid never realised your pure love and cared for you. I always used you as a toy and threw you away whenever I wanted. But, believe me Ryder. I have changed. These past dreadful incidents have shaken me to the core. I saw death and destruction happening in front of my eyes. I saved myself from others and even killed some in self-defense. I realised the value of you amongst those thousands of false luxuries and illusions. I realised that I was an idiot to not love you. I know that I don't deserve your love or your forgiveness and will happily accept any punishment you want to give me.
But, please never hate me. I have lost everything in this war. Maybe, this was not my war but somewhere inside my heart, I wanted to be a change. A warrior. A saviour. Maybe, the lack of respect from my own parents and others made me greedy, but your love made me selfless. So, if you have even the tiniest of love for me somewhere in your large heart, please don't become Xao Chang's servant. Be the change that you are in my life and fight for the truth.
Maybe, not here but somewhere in the afterlife I will be waiting for you." Ryder pushed her away and said angrily, "LIES! LIES! AND ONLY LIES! How can someone lie so much? Don't you even have a little shame left inside you? You are just trying to lure me with your sweet lies to betray the person who gave me a new life. A new reason to live. You still are only thinking about yourself and not about me." Trisha said grimly, "He didn't give you a new life, Ryder. He snatched away the peace away from your life and made you a slave of his.
Soon, he will corrupt your soul like he corrupted many others earlier. Soon, there will be no love left in your heart for anyone. All your memories will get erased and Xao Chang will control you like a puppet. You will be the reason for the deaths of many Trishas of many Ryders. You will be their murderer and they will curse you. Do you want that horrible life to be your new life? Look, Ryder. I know that you still have emotions left in your heart. I can see that clearly. Please, don't follow that evil man and destroy your and many other people's lives. Please."
Trisha bowed before him and kissed his feet. Ryder suddenly felt a strange sensation in his body and ran away frantically. Trisha looked at him running and tears started rolling from her eyes. She realised her heartlessness and bowed her head in shame.....
