Third Person POV
"Man, that's enough, let's go back. You're obviously having a hard time." Ren said. "We can't use our power because we're under your power. Gray can help you."
"Zillan… Too much will affect you." stated June.
"Wait, just one more." Zillan responed. "Just a one more…"
"Zillan…" Kris held Zillan's shoulder.
Again, with a flick of Zillan's finger the present changed.
"Let me go first."
They are still inside the palace, the only difference is that they are at the gate. They look at the crowned Zach and Celine, having their wedding.
"Seriously, I never thought this would happen before." stated Solenn. "I don't know what I'll do if I'm in Zachary's position, or Celina's either…" Gio held Solenn's hand and smiled at her.
"Where did Zachary's power came from?--" Arlene asked suddenly.
Zachary entered just in time with his eyes darkened and holding a sword. He even reached the point of his brother kissing his ex--girlfriend. The soldiers immediately ran to stop him.
But, perhaps because of Zachary’s anger, he withstood. He defeated the soldier and only let them be physically injured, because he had no intention of killing anyone.
"Celina! Didn't I say… Wait for me…?" Zachary's statement was cut short. "I'm already here…"
"How did that escape?! Where did the guards go?!" an officer stood up. "Take action!"
"What?!" there was a trace of annoyance on Zillan's face. "They're idiots--" he grabbed his chest when he felt a subtle ache.
"Zillan, let's go back…" Kairo said. "What else might happen to you of we continue,"
The number of troops doubled. Zachary struggled so he let go of his sword, causing him to eventually catched by the guards. "You have committed a treason on the kingdom, Zachary," said the former King, unable to stand and weak. "Go away… so they won't inflict any more grievous sins on you--" he grabbed his chest and found it difficult to breathe.
"NO!!" a loud shout by Zachary and a force caused the soldiers to flee, like an intangible force made them scattered.
Everyone wondered where it came from and how that happened.
Depression and anger enveloped everyone when they saw, with a sword fleeing and struck right into the old man's chest. Zachary deliberately calmed down because of the unexpected event.
"KEEP HIM IN THE PRISON OF ERIOE FOR LIFE!"
"He holds the power of the devil! He doesn't deserve to be in this kingdom!"
"No! It's out of the question, he won't be imprisoned in the Prison of Erioe. You said that! He can't—" Zach's words were cut short when an officer spoke.
"Darkness will only happen when he stays here, you are already a full -fledged king so do what is necessary!"
“Get ready! You will all pay for your greed! I’ll be back!!! ” Zachary said.
Zillan got down on his knees, he's tired. Everything immediately went back to the present.
What Zachary said was true, that the prophecy was not true. Officials only put it on to deceive everyone into what really happened. It did not spread throughout the kingdom, and only those inside the palace knew.
"One more information, you might also want to know." Zachary's demonic smile appeared. I was born with power, you know why? Because… of a fairy. There are two fairies, aren't there? Where’s that one? ” he laughed.
The Guardians did not speak. But, June remained staring at it. June knew that he still had something to hide, so he went ahead and led the speech. "Tell me what you find out."
Zachary shook his head as if wondering, still streaked with his insulting grin. "Why would I say that? It's like I just dug my own grave."
Zachary attacked and June immediately backed up with his water. Zachary smiled. In the blink of an eye Zachary suddenly disappeared like a bubble. Suddenly he was behind them.
"Guardians!" June's signal.
Gray led the three women to safety. The Guardians attacked Zachary one after another, surprisingly, their attacks didn't hit even once. The opponent's movements are fast and smart.
Tired, they try to figure out Zachary's movements before using their power. When June thought of something, he immediately instructed the Guardians on what to do, they stimulated Roland's telepathy.
June turned to Gray who was still healing Zillan, along with the three women.
Kris and Leo jumped at the same time, before raining down Zachary with a lot of fire. Womin fired his mist and immediately formed sword weapons. It surrounded Zachary, but the opponent just laughed because it had no effect on him.
Zachary was about to fly when suddenly two electric whips were tied onto his legs. That didn't stop Zachary, instead, he flew making Ren forcibly pulled up.
Not far away from Zachary, a very large fist made of soil attack him, causing him to fall, Gio in control. When he fell to the ground, Hunter immediately locked him in his whirlwind, it seemed that even though Zachary was having a hard time, he was still able to stand.
With the black magic the air controlled by Hunter gradually turned black, which in a few moments it also disappeared.
June followed and wraps the water in different parts of Zachary's body, as if they had lives of their own. Zachary turned around and attack with his black energy. June was distracted so he lost his focus on control.
At the same time as the water disappeared a large chunk of rock fell right on Zachary, but he just lifted it. However, his veins appeared in the neck, hands, arms, legs, and feet. Proof that Zachary now having a hard time.
Kairo immediately teleported and kicked Zachary, so he lost even more strength and the rock eventually fell. Kairo teleported away to my side immediately.
The Guardians watched in terror at Zachary's next step.
"He's been staring at Gray for a while," Kairo said. "I noticed earlier."
"Yeah, I noticed, too." June turned to Gray, before staring at his necklace. "Gray, we need your necklace. Guardians, let's gather. Let's unite our powers."
They immediately obeyed June's order. Gray mediated between them. "What are we going to do?" Gray asked.
"I'm not sure about this, but we'll try." June replied.
"Do we need more? We have no power." Arlene stated and frown.
"Stay here, don't leave." Hunter replied.
June placed his hand on the opposite side of the necklace Gray was holding, the ofher Guardian copied what he had done.
Slowly it shone, as if the necklace was absorbing the power they were releasing. June said something to Gray and Jake, in a whispering.
They weren't even surprised to hear a laugh from Zachary. The large rock broke and split in two, then Zachary stood up with the rest of his body completely paralyzed.
"You're smart, June. You're not as stupid as before." he grinned.
"You're done." June stated with assurance. "Jake, Gray, at my signal do what I said."
Simultaneously, the Guardians unleashed their powers. It seems like a variety of colorful lights are dazzling but have inherent beauty, fleeing towards their opponent.
Together, the Guardians unite to pour all their power to save their world.
Zachary's eyes reflected its gradual approach to him. When it landed on his body he immediately collapsed, but he still had the power to defend it all, that's why…
"Jake, Gray, now!!" June's voice.
Gray face his necklace to Zachary. That produced a white energy and hit it to Zachary. When it reached Zachary with full force, Jake made a wide shield, which Zachary was inside. That white energy exploded right inside of it. Jake got on his knees when he felt the intensity of the explosion, there was even a slight crack in his shield.
When the explosion ended, his body also collapsed. The Guardians immediately approached him.
"Jake…" said June.
Jake thumbs up, they felt relief.
They all watched Celine approach Zachary's direction. They all followed with the weakened comrade.
"What do you really plan to do in this world?" Celine asked calmly. "You said the two are fairies? You're wrong because she's only one."
Zachary remained staring at the sky. "Is it wrong…?"
"Ry…"
Everyone looked away when they heard the Queen's voice. She was breathless and the end of her dress were torned. Behind him was the King who was also gasping.
"I want to destroy the world." said Zachary. "I will only be imprisoned for life. I will only endure anger and sadness for the rest of my life. What my purpose after all?"
To be continue…
