TBOTBT: Part Three

Assayah was sitting in his room looking at the old photos of him and Samantha together when Kenchi and Kystion walked inside and sat beside him. They looked at him frowning and patted his shoulders. Kenchi said grimly, "What is gone is gone, Assayah. Think of the future. Now, you are a high-ranking commander of Xao Chang's army. You will find many girls like Samantha or maybe even better than her." Assayah looked at him angrily and then slowly rose and walked away. Kystion looked at Kenchi and sighed, "This love is also tricky. I once too fell in love with a beautiful maiden once. Her silky hair and warm bosoms still make me happy. But, the war tore everything apart. Krymon's father was strictly against making relations with women as he had an opinion that love makes a man weak, especially the ones who have to serve others and have a responsibility towards a greater purpose. A purpose even bigger than life. So, somewhere in the deep roads of duty, I had to abandon my emotions and become the warrior I am today." Kenchi smiled, "I don't like this love bullshit. I only like power and dominance. Love is for the people who seek shelter in other's houses, but I want to capture those houses and rule over them as a ruler, not a lover. Love is useless and derogatory for oneself. Therefore, I have always tried to keep me and my friends away from such titillation." Kystion smiled and walked outside. Kenchi looked in the mirror and sighed, "But, Samantha was different. She was something. Something different. something awesome. I wished I could have fucked her more. She was one hell of a beauty." He smiled and walked outside the room, ignoring that Assayah was standing just behind the door listening to all his blabber.

Xao Chang was sitting in his giant chair and was looking at his prisoners. He was smiling and was chanting some mantra. He slowly rose from his seat and walked towards Alice and smiled, "Just in a few hours, I will drain all your blood and will wake up Xao Lin. Then, I will kill all of you with pleasure." He smiled and kissed her forehead. He walked outside the room. Trisha looked at Ryder who ignored her and gave an angry look to her. Trisha lowered her head in despair and took a long breath. Assayah was looking at Kenchi with a murderous intent, but Kenchi was completely oblivious to the fact. He looked at Assayah and gave him a smile. Assayah didn't smile back and his brows crouched in anger. Kystion walked towards Vexana and sat near her. He looked at her and said, "I know that you and your family has been very loyal to Aliyah's family from generations after generations. But, what have you or your family gained from loyalty. Just pain and suffering and nothing else. Your whole family sacrificed their lives protecting the people of the royal family and those self-centered bitches didn't even gave you a token of appreciation or gratitude." Vexana said angrily, "Don't talk in puzzles, Kystion. Tell me your evil intentions clearly." Kystion smiled, "I have no evil interests in my mind. In fact, I am trying to help you. Join me, Vexana. Xao Chang is not reliable. He will try to backstab all of us at some point of time in the future and when that time comes, I will need someone powerful like you beside me. Aliyah is not coming back and even if she comes back, there is nothing she can do to alter the reality. Xao Chang has won the battle already and now only a ceremony is still remaining." Vexana smiled, "How can you be so sure of his success, Kystion? Haven't you already tasted defeat and despair many times in the past? We killed Krymon, killed Jimmy and Hilda. We even would have defeated you if we had met in the battlefield. So, how are you so confident? You have always bet on the wrong horse and this time it's nothing different." Kystion slapped her and said angrily, "THEN, ROT AND DIE! YOU ARE JUST LIKE YOUR FATHER! STUBBORN AND A COMPLETE IDIOT!" He walked towards his room stomping.

Elgin and Robert were sitting on the floor, talking with Safi and Phantom, when Robin and Mr. Watwell came and kicked Elgin and Robert. Elgin and Robert looked at them and slowly rose. Mr. Watwell grabbed Elgin's collar and said angrily, "YOU BASTARD! HOW COULD YOU SUCH A VILE THING TO MY SWEET AND INNOCENT CHILD! I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!" Mr. Watwell was about to shoot Elgin, when Robin grabbed him and said, "Wait a few hours, Mr. Watwell. After, Xao Chang gets his revenge, you can do whatever you want with him. Now, he is quite powerful for you to harm him." Mr. Watwell spitted on Elgin's face and walked away. Robin turned towards Robert and said, "I took care of you after the death of our parents. I cared for you. I sacrificed so much for you and this is how you repay me. You betrayed me for some low-life bitch you fucked once. How could you do such thing with me?" Robert smiled, "Don't you dare lie. You did everything for your own benefit and used me like some ordinary goon of yours. You made me selfish like you and evil things were done by me for you. But, after I met Rachel I understood that the real meaning of life is to be good and make others happy. That is the ultimate form of power and not dominating others and exploiting them like animals." Robin smiled, "Big talk from a guy waiting death. You and your newfound values will get crushed by the real power of life. XAO LIN!" He smiled and walked away. Elgin looked at Robert and patted his shoulder, "Don't worry. We will win. Evil can never win." Robert smiled and slowly crawled away. Elgin sighed. Safi looked at Elgin and asked, "What was that old man talking about? You ruined his child's life?" Elgin said grimly, "I don't know. Maybe, I did ruin his child's life. That is one thing that I cannot deny. But, the whole responsibility is not mine. Circumstances and a bad person's stupid acts ruined her life." Safi said grimly, "Yes. No one can survive the harsh acts of circumstances." Elgin looked at the clock and said, "I don't know if I am going to survive or not. So, promise me that you will do a last favor for me." Safi asked, "What favor?" Elgin said grimly, "I have a son whose name is Diego. I don't know where he is right now and it will better if I don't know it. So, if I die during the battle, please find him and look after him." Safi said, "Definitely. Your son is like my brother. I will take utmost care of him." Elgin hugged him and smiled.

Xao Chang returned to the room and sat near Alice. He took a syringe out of his pocket and injected it inside Alice's left arm. He sucked almost two liters of blood and took it inside. He then came again and pushed another syringe inside Vexana and Elgin. After sometime, he took out a book and started chanting some mantras and slowly would throw some blood in the fire. Kystion and Kenchi threw some blood too. Robin and Gayumb also started throwing some blood. After sometime, the fire started growing bigger and bigger and Xao Chang said grimly, "Give here the sacrifice." Gayumb and Robin went inside and brought a handcuffed girl along with Mr. Watwell. Mr. Watwell was hypnotized and couldn't know that he was going to be sacrificed soon. Xao Chang took a long sword and chopped off the girl's head and threw the severed head in the fire. After sometime, Xao Chang pushed Mr. Watwell inside the fire and slowly poked a hole in his chest. The dripping blood slowly made the fire bigger and bigger, till Mr. Watwell was completely engulfed with fire. Slowly, Mr. Watwell's body started to deform and a demonic creature started to come out of his body. Xao Chang threw the dead girl's body inside the fire. The union of a man and a woman started to give birth to a demon who slowly arose and slowly walked outside the fire. Vexana and Elgin grunted their teeth and said, "XAO LIN!"

But, that demon was not Xao Lin. He was just an ordinary demon. Xao Chang took the demon and pushed his hand inside his head. The demon body slowly started to surround around his body, when Kenchi stabbed Xao Chang in the back. Xao Chang and all looked at him at horror but before Xao Chang could do anything, Kenchi slashed the demon and Xao Chang's body started to bleed immensely. Xao Chang looked at Gayumb and Kystion and said, "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU LOOKING AT FOR? GO AND KILL THAT BASTARD!" Kystion and Gayumb took their swords but they attacked Xao Chang instead. Xao Chang fell on the ground and yelled, "TRAITORS! ALL OF YOU ARE TRAITORS!" Xao Chang fell on the ground and fell unconscious. Kenchi took the demon body and pushed it inside his body and slowly his powers started to ignite and his whole body started to grow bigger. Gayumb and Kystion before him but Ryder and Assayah looked at him with horror. Robin bowed before him too. Kenchi walked towards Alice and her friends. He smiled, "Unexpected turn of events, isn't it? I planned this centuries ago. I served as a low person all my life, so that I could betray Xao Chang and become the new king of the Monastery. But, don't worry. I am not cruel like Xao Chang. I will give you a chance to surrender the Blood Spear without unnecessary bloodshed." Alice spitted on his face and said, "Never." Kenchi slapped her and said, "Fine, bitch. I gave you a chance but you are just as arrogant as Aliyah." He grabbed her by the hair and pulled her towards the fire and was about to throw her, when a large explosion happened and all were thrown away.

Kenchi and his friends rose and saw a divine red energy sphere glowing. The energy slowly disappeared and Mother Manaca along with Aliyah was there. Kenchi said, "Impossible. How can she be alive? I saw her turning into ashes in front of my own eyes." Aliyah smirked, "Yeah. I rose from the ashes. Because I am a phoenix who is here to hunt and kill you all." Kenchi smiled, "Don't mistake me for the old weak Kenchi, Aliyah. I have turned more powerful than anything. I will burn you back to ashes." Aliyah roared and jumped towards Kenchi who pushed her away. The power of Xao Lin was too strong for her to avoid. Kenchi said, "Finish all of them." Mother Manaca cut the ties of Elgin and his friends and soon they stood in front of each other. Kenchi and Aliyah looked at each other and smiled as a big fight was coming.....
