Third Person POV
One by one the Guardians were tied with their hands behind their backs using large chains. That is connected to each of them.
As they walked out of the cell they were silent and observing.
The darkness of every edges makes them creep out of anger. The chiming sound of the chains increases the tension they feel. Aside from the cell they were in, there were other cells there were in creatures are the captives. They did not pass them when they entered their cell, they entered on the other way.
When they reached the exit they were greeted by a large number of soldiers and wolves. Swords and spears were immediately aimed at their necks.
"Let's hurry, the leader has been waiting for a while," said the captain on horseback.
The captain led them.
As he walked, Zillan seemed to be holding his irritation to a soldier who had almost pierced his neck with the spear he was holding.
"Don't make a mess, Man." Kris looked at Zillan. "I know you…"
Zillan just closed his eyes and tried to calm himself down.
Without saying a word the captain stopped, causing everyone to suddenly stop. The others nearly bumped to each other. Meanwhile, Zillan was trapped here by the soldier whom he had been holding back with annoyance. When everyone suddenly stopped, the soldier almost struck his neck.
"ZILLAN!" shouted Kris.
Without saying a word, Zillan turned around and kicked the back of the soldier. When the soldier fell to the ground, he stepped onto his side. When he was about to kick him again, Zillan immediately was aimed with spear and sword at various parts of his body. A soldier with glaring eyes almost pressed his sword to his neck, causing his neck to be slightly injured. A little bit drop of blood flowed from his open wound.
"What a mess that is?!!" shouted the Captain.
The group of soldiers withdrew to give way to the captain. His vision darkened when he saw a soldier lying prostrate. Zillan and the Captain exchanged stares, as if there were electricity between them. The captain raised his sword as someone spoke.
"Captain, the lock is finally open…" said a soldier who had just arrived. "We can now enter Wisteria…"
Roland shook his head. "No..."
The Guardians' eyes immediately widened at the news. They all looked at each other. Fear and dread filled their eyes. Roland angrily turned his eyes to June. In his mind, if their leader hadn't stopped him from doing what he was planning, all of this would not have happened. They can escape again and plan if that just continues.
Jake and Hunter saw how Roland's vision darkened. Jake and Hunter exchanged glances because of that. They don’t know how to calm Roland down. They are worried about how Roland will treat them. They are the only ones in their world can count on now, but they end up being captives.
They saw Wisteria being invaded by wolves and soldiers. They could clearly see how civilians and other creatures were forcibly arrested. There are no mercies, even children are beaten. In their Guardians are so pained seeing the sufferings, cries, and woes, pointing themselves as such Guardians are helpless.
A few moments later, they reached the palace. Its latch opened automatically. There they are, they will see who that person is. The king's alleged twin whom they had not heard from since they were young.
"Captain…" a soldier bowed as a sign of respect. "The leader can no longer hold his patience…"
The Captain got out of the chariot, before signaling the soldiers. The captain entered first before the Guardians, and almost stab them by spears and swords pointed at them.
Zillan aggressively stare at the soldier who almost stan him. Meanwhile, the soldier could not look at him and seemed scared.
"CELINE!!"
"CELINE MY DAUGHTER!!!"
Celine was about to run into the king's and queen's ways, when she realized that her hands were tied with those chains.
"MAMA, PAPA!"
The Guardians' eyes widened when they saw the enormous cage, in which the king and queen were imprisoned.
"GUARDIANS!" tearful cry of the Queen.
"Good… Good thing you're safe…" the king quickly supported the queen as her knees weakened.
The interior of the palace is dark, and only the light of the full moon serves as a small light inside. Kris's jaw tightened and he couldn't stop herself from screaming.
"YOU ANIMAL!!" Kris shouted. "WHAT HAVE WE DONE TO YOU AND YOU'RE DOING ALL THAT!" he said and struggles with his chains.
Kris's voice echoed throughout the room. The whole palace almost rumbled at the strength of its voice. Tracing his tense veins in the neck and forehead.
"RELEASE THE KING AND QUEEN!" Leo shouted.
A few moments of silence fell on everyone. Until they felt a strange energy all over the place.
"G-Guys…" Larmine said as if fainting. "This this e-eerie feeling…"
"W-when we all fainted… W-while L-Leo and J-Jake were fighting June and W-Womin…" Kai said.
A loud and terrifying laugh suddenly erupted throughout the palace. "Narrow-headed ones! HAHAHAHA!"
"W-WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?!" Rem said, kneeling and shaking, as if he felt dizzy.
The other Guardians were already sitting on the floor as they closed their eyes tightly. Gio tries to see the leader's face, but he fails, because of the shadow covering his face. Only its feet are clear in their sight.
"Such Guardians but brainless ones!" he said. "Did you think you were the smartest choice of Wisteria?! You didn't pull anything!"
A strong force they could not explain, caused them one by one to fall to the floor. It is as if they are being dragged underground. Thus, not only the Guardians were affected, but also the soldiers, the captain, and the king and queen.
"At the very first start, you knew you couldn't handle me! Look at yourselves, pitiful! You took the time, to fix all this? Isn't it ... no matter what you do, you won't win." he grinned frightenedly, before turning to the captain who was also fainting.
"The plan worked… captain. They didn't… They couldn't use the power of the crystal, could they?!"
"AAAAHHHH!"
Everyone was ruined in the pain it causes.
There were large cracks flowed up the wall and into the ceiling. In this condition the whole palace will collapse.
The queen could not withstand the force so she fainted, the king was beside her who could only support her even though it's difficult.
Although weak, Goo tried to stand up. "L-leave this p-place… You don't deserve to b-be h-here… Y-You don't deserve h-here. t-this place… E-Erioesnemia is o-only for w-worthy,"
Gray also tried to stand up. "I-if leadership and p-power is what you want… then, you don't deserve it!!"
Slowly the leader stood up and began to walk towards them. Its strength is evident, because with every step of his foot, every step he takes creates damages to the floor. The dark energy consuming the Guardians' strength also intensified, causing Gray and Gio to fall again.
"What I hate most of all… Is being told what is right for me or not!"
"AAAAAHHHHHH!"
As the leader approached, the pain felt by them became stronger. Seems like gravity is pulling them hard, at the same time cracking the floor in their place.
"AAAAHHHHH!"
"I'm the one who deserves it," said the leader. "Here I belong… This is for me!"
The leader stopped. But his face was still not transparent. The shadow still covers his face, but they can see his whole body. He had no upper garment, his undergarment was torn, he was barefoot, and he was obviously a bigger man than their king.
"I'll give you a question…" he said, before slowly squatting.
His forehead was raised as if belittling the prostrate Guardians in front of him. Here it is, they will see the leader.
"What would you do… if the things that were important to you… were suddenly taken away by someone else...?"
The Guardians were stunned at what it said, before they saw the full entirety of his face.
