Zoe and Synan continue eavesdropping on
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Wizeman’s meeting. Wizeman speaks.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
“Sarah. You’ve been to all the briefings. I
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
specifically told all of you to destroy Synan, Zoe, and
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Syrus. Yet, they somehow escaped. At least James
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
put in an effort to follow his orders. You, on the other
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
hand, gave them access to your books.”
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
“Yeah, Sarah!” James comments.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
“Seal it, James!”
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
“Sir.”
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
“So anyway, Sarah. Your misdeeds will not
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
go unpunished!”
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
“Yes sir.” Sarah replies.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
“We are going to link you into the Cage of Doom.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
You know, the black cage dangling over the lava in the
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
volcano.”
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Sarah is silent.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Zoe notices a book fell from its pedestal next
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
to the door. Zoe opens it. It shows a black cage over
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
the lava. Zoe hides the book and puts a different book
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
in its place.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Wizeman comes over to the book. Synan
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
and Zoe scrunch against the wall. Wizeman picks up
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
the book and walks back to the table.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
“Now, Sarah, Link into the book.”
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Sarah notices its a different book. Sarah warps.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
She warped to the Book Temple. She knows it was
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Synan and Zoe that helped her.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The meeting is soon over. Everyone walks to
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
the door. Synan and Zoe put one of their hands together.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Between the other hands, they have an ideya marble.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
They but their other hands together and get warped
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
inside. Soon, they hear the silence in the halls. They
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
decide to return.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
They warp back, Zoe sitting on Synan.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Zoe thinks for a second.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
“Ewe!!” Zoe jumps off Synan.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Synan is clueless. Wizeman heard Zoe scream.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Wizeman pulls the door open. Synan is against one wall
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
and Zoe on the other, still appearing to be disgusted.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
It was obvious that Zoe was faking her disgustedness, but
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Synan was silent.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Wizeman pulls the two into the Keep.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
“So. You two are the ones I was trying to annihilate,
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
huh?” Wizeman is a combination of a few of the monsters.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
His head looks like an upside-down Monk head,
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
with the wings and horn of Mr. I. Under Monk’s
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
head is the top half of Prisem, upside-down though.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The lightning beam from Prisem is connecting to
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Crystal, and lining the beam are four eyeballs with
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
spikes on each side like an X-Y axis. They are the
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
defense of Spyke. There is a purple stone with a
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
black star on Wizeman’s forehead.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
“So, it looks like I’ll have to finish you two
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
off.”
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Wizeman prepares for battle. A dark blur
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
flies out of Wizeman’s purple stone. The black
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
star is now gone, and in another place getting
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
larger. It soon takes the form of a monster.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
It’s head is rounded and its body is like
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
a human’s, with claws on its hands and feet. It
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
has a thick, lizard-like tail.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The blackness of this monster turns into
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
a thirteen-year-old girl. She has dark hair and
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
a purple T-shirt and shorts.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
“Wizeman! You have no time to battle
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
these weaklings!”
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
“What do you mean, Veronica?”
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Zoe and Synan remember reading that
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Veronica was the third most powerful being in
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
the universe.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
“Sage is ready. Give him the command
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
to destroy Earth, or he’ll get restless and destroy
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
the entire universe!”
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
“Synan,” Zoe whispers, “remember, Sage
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
can turn into Deity, with a power level of one
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
million!”
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
“I know.” Synan whispers back.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
“So, Wizeman. Give Sage his orders quickly.”
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
“But I have to fight these kids first!”
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
“I hope you know what you’re doing, Wizeman.”
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
“You better. I know what I’m doing.”
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Veronica turns into a shadow again and sinks
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
through the floor.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
“So, kids. You want to die now, or get your
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
planet blown up?”
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
“Uhh....” Synan is speechless.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
“Too bad! You’re gonna die now!”
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Wizeman is about to attack and then the castle
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
starts to rumble. Wizeman steps back. The floor under
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Wizeman cracks, and a large beam flies out of the
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
floor, defeating Wizeman. The beam goes through the ceiling.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
“Synan! We better get out of here!”
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
“Let’s go!”
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Synan and Zoe run down the crackling staircase.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The stairs shatter and they fall down to the staircase below
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
them. They finally escape the collapsing castle.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Up in the air is a kid, about fifteen years old. The
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
sky is dark.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Veronica, in the human form, appears next to Synan.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
“Looks like Wizeman made the wrong decision. Our
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
universe is at stake now.” Veronica says.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
“I’m assuming that is not a good thing.” Zoe says.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
“No. Sage will morph into Deity and destroy the
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
entire universe.”
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Synan and Zoe are silent.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Sage is wearing a long red cape, covering his
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
body to his feet. His hair is brown. His clothes underneath
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
the cape are black.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Sage begins the transformation process.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
“This looks like the end.” Zoe says.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
“It’s been real nice knowing you this well, Zoe.”
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Synan says.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Zoe looks at Synan. “What?” Zoe replies.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Synan is silent as he watches Sage transform.
