Chapter 45: "Below Zer0"

William was speechless," the Dark-Hunters, they found the village this is bad," said Zeph, William clenched his fist and shouted, "Evan!", Rose started to heal Ken, "this ice is infused with dark magic that's why it's so hard to break," said Rose.

"Hey bro, what's happening?" asked Evan as he was approaching them," Ken, what the hell," said Evan," the Dark-Hunters attacked our home," said William in a stern tone," what? mom and Evelyn are there, we have to go get them, I hope everyone is ok," said Evan.

" Deana, can you watch over the Kingdom, tell Thomas what happened when he returns, we are going to save them," said William.

"Yes brother, I will, and please be safe," said Deana," the village is two days' journey will we make it in time?" asked Evan," I think I can teleport us there right now but it's my first time moving so many persons at the same time and over such a distance," said Rose.

" You can do it, Rose," said William.

"Ok William, place your hands on the mace," said Rose," are you guys ready?" asked William," yes," said Rose, Evan, and Zeph," Teleport," said Rose, and they all vanished.

They appeared outside of the village, Rose fainted but William caught her," thank you, Rose, you are really something else," said William," the place is very cold, I have never felt it like this before," said Evan.

" Evan stay with Rose until she recovers Zeph and I will go in," said William.

"Oh ok please save them William and Zeph watch his back," said Evan, as they made their way closer to the village," it's getting colder, the closer we get, who did this, almost everything is frozen," said William as he made it to the entrance of the village.

"The Prince of the Central Kingdom, welcome, we finally meet face to face, you got here fast," said Shadow, he was seated on a throne of ice, "do you like what I've done to the place?" asked Shadow.

William saw some of the village members frozen solid," who are you, why did you come here and hurt these innocent people?" asked William," I am Shadow the leader of the DarkHunters, and innocent you say, no one is innocent, I'm only here for two things, that sword and that bow," said Shadow.

" Unfreeze them and these weapons don't belong to you," said William.

"It's you, you're are the one who killed my family," said Zeph while pointing at Malik," the brat that got away, hmm they were getting in the way of our objective so I had to move them out of the way and you are next," said Malik.

After hearing this Zeph bowed his head and said," mom, dad, Jen, and Allie this is the day that I will avenge you, today you will finally rest in peace," Zeph grips his bow and points it at Malik "Air Arrows: Exploding Air," said Zeph.

Shadow stretched out his hand and froze the air arrows," how did he do that?" asked Zeph," I don't know but he needs to leave this place, Plunging Breaker," said William, he also freezes William's attack and shatters it, is that the best you can do?" asked Shadow, "he canceled out both of our attacks," said William.

" You seriously don't think that you're the only one that's gonna have all the fun here Shadow," said Malik.

"Zeph I have this one," said William, "this one is mine," said Zeph as he made his way towards Malik, "oh my you have grown, were you the one who fought against our friend Chace, the girl with the bird?" asked Malik, "oh ok I'll just get out of the way, I know these kids can't win against the best," said Blaine as he went one side.

"Yes it was me," said Zeph, "you will pay for what you did to her," said Malik," you take from me, I take from you, it's that simple, and your next," said Zeph, Malik then lifts his trident," enough talk, Lightning Fall," said Malik.

Zeph uses speed steps to evade the rain of lightning, "not bad but you won't be able to keep that up for too long," said Malik, Zeph then speed steps closer towards Malik, "Blast of Wind," said Zeph, Malik was sent flying.

"I must say you do have some power, you should have it back then to save your family from me," said Malik, he then disappeared and reappeared before Zeph swinging his trident," he's fast," said Zeph as he blocks with his bow.
