'Please stop', tears sting into her eyes but the goo halt the tears from falling. 'Someone! please help me!', she shout. All her breath are knocked out, she definitely hears it. Even though the pleading is nothing more than a whisper, she is certain Velery asks for help. Serene tries yet again but her powers are useless, she can't reach her. Furthermore, the transformation is ninety percent complete. If she didn't hurry it up, Velery will be lost in the depths of nightmare forever. Serene helplessly look upwards. Her daughter's face glimmers underneath the darkening sky. Star can help Velery and she knows it, but in order to do that, the process will be speed up and she isn't prepare to lose her princess yet.
Darkness lingers around her ankle, the tension attracts the black goo. Just when it is about to attach itself to Serene, a white lights glows. Serene lift her head, words couldn't describe how she felt at that moment. Her daughter smile at her. Star smile at her mother, once her foot reach the altar. A wave of light spreads through the ground clearing out all the goo. Serene hold her breath, 'Mother', tears trickle down her face when she once again hears the voice. 'Look, forward', that was all Star ever says before she dissolve into Velery. The half demonize girl screech when she feel an intruder entering her body. Shaking vigorously she slams herself to the wall making it crack. Then she tries to fly but her undone wings cause her to slam into the ground creating a really large crater.
She then slam herself on the altar, dragging he body through the harden floor. Serene is in a trance, but the screeching and wailing finally bring her back to reality. She start to freak out, if the demon keep on hurting itself it will be fatal for Velery and she isn't going to stand and watch. She isn't going to lose someone important to her again. Serene slam her not broken arm to the ground, she chant a few words. Ten light pillars descend from the sky hitting every corner of the demon way. Serene groan, her power wouldn't last much longer. She just hope that Star will do this quickly as the transformation is five percent away from complete.
After a torturous moment, Velery sigh. Her chest heave up and down. She can't stand another second living in the void. It torture her not only physically but mentally. She could feel herself fading away and become one with the black tunnel, she wouldn't care anyway. With her gone, her friends can move on farther and stronger. Her body limply falls into the deepest cave there is, when she feel the ground nearing, she is certain her consciousness will shatter like a glass hitting the ground. Before what she anticipate happens a warm glow grab her wrist. 'I'm not letting you go!', Velery jerk her eyes open, the voice sound so familiar. There she is, holding her close like they use too when they are little.
'Don't give in into the darkness', Star hiss. The goo seems to have a good grip on Velery. She knows it's her fault that Velery have to go through a world where she is powerless and being different from the others can be frustrating. She have waited for far too long. She waited the day where she can help Velery realize her true magic. Star look around, if they stay there any longer Velery will certainly break into inhuman state. But first, she need to loosen the darkness grip on Velery.
'Vel-chan! You need to believe in yourself'. Velery stare blankly into her friend's eye. What is there in her to believe?.
'There's nothing to believe in me Star. The once glint of hope when Star reach for her is gone. Now her eyes are completely hollow. Star swear she sees the darkness smirk and doing a victory dance into her face plus blowing raspberry then mouthed In-Your-Face and fart in front of her. Even though, all of that seems to be hard to believe, darkness is something playful and it can triggers someone's anger. Star grit her teeth, if this tunnel isn't Velery's mind she would have kick the darkness gut and torture it over and over and over until it can't rise ever again. The situation almost reach it climax when the goo goes boring and tug Velery downwards.
'I shouldn't do this but you made me. Sorry Vel-chan', Star, release her grip. She position herself on top of Velery and pound Velery's chest. This cause the tunnel to crumble, she pound again and again. In order to gain victory she need to hurt Velery. If the attack hurt Velery it hurts her more to do it. Just when the last attachment to the wall almost descend, Velery jerk her eyes open. Star finally smile, she thought her method works boy was she wrong. Velery clench her palm, from the last remaining bit, the stretchy goo wrap around Star. Velery laugh, when she sees Star struggling to get free.
'You see, they hated you so bad they even try to kill you', Star eyes widen, Velery stated those words but the voice isn't her's. She struggle some more but the damn thing wrap around her like a spider wrapping it's prey ready for dinner. The light that illuminates her body fade away. Shoot! I'm losing time here!
'Velery! Listen to me! You are special than us!', she bait. Lucky for her the one who answer her question is Velery.
'What is so special about me Star?', it broke her heart to hear those words.
'Gah!!! Just when I thought I don't have to tell you!', she close her eyes momentarily than open them again, this time they are teleported into a park behind the guild. Velery is baffle to see their location. Before she could ask a tiny version of her run past through herself. Curious of what is going on she follows herself towards the back yard where a pink haired girl is sobbing. She becomes more confuse when her tiny self hands the girl a red rose.
'Zeirra here', her tiny self chimed. Zeirra slowly turn to face her younger self. Zeirra shakily takes the flower form her tiny self. Her younger self sit down beside her friend. 'Hey, Z! You know why I pick the rose?'.
'No, why?', her voice comes out hoarse and weak. Before answering her friend's question she brush the rose. 'It's pretty isn't it?'. Zeirra nod, still oblivious by what her true point is.
'I can't believe something so pretty can be dangerous', to prove her point she show Zeirra her bandage hand. Zeirra is shock to she her friend to go all that trouble to soothe her broken heart. She is trying not to be a baby but failing a mission, making the guild reputation plummet as well as her own and getting mockeries from the client is a bit overwhelming.
'Why?', she sees the glint in her friend's eye.
'Because I believe that you are same as this rose. Delicate but dangerous. Don't let a little failure took the future from you. Zeirra as crazy as it sounds I believe that you will be one of the greatest swords women in whole Echantros. That will become a reality if only you didn't give up. People make mistakes and they learn from it. Don't worry, if you fail over and over again I'll be there to support you', the little Zeirra smile. She raise her pinky.
'Is that a promise?', Velery nod happily. The scene crumble and replace with one where a boy kicking stones into the lake. There she is again, closing in to the boy. 'Ash', her voice comes out as a whisper, Ash glare at her. She could see her past self shivering in fear but she bravely walks closer to Ash.
'What do you want?!', he half growl. Little Velery gulps, she hope she wouldn't get kick in the rump after this.
'You need to face reality Ash', she tries her best not to stutter.
'What reality?!', he scream. Little Velery flinch, she never though Ash would go this insane, gaining all her strength she push the words out from her throat. 'Star is gone Ash. She's never coming back'. She say it as soft as she can but Ash little stubborn attitude really getting on her nerve.
'What the use. If star is dead then I'll rather be dead too', before Ash could do something bad, Velery push him down to earth. She slap his face a few times, when she sees his humanity coming back tears start to pour out.
'Stop acting like a jerk! Everyone is sadden by her death! It's not just you! But we live to see tomorrow! Throwing your life away is a sin that you'll never forgot! We can only live once Ash', her voice starts to crack but she hold it back, long enough to get him understand her point. 'You need to remember, Your life isn't yours completely. Be grateful that you get to see another day, imagine those people who is waiting for the inevitable. They treasure life more than anyone, and you just loosely stated you want to die. Ash! come to your senses, if you die what will happen to us? Ray and Zeirra? They are your closes friends aren't they? Please... I beg of you, dying is the stupidest way to solve a problem. If this wouldn't be enough, think about how Star feels? She sacrifice her time in order to save yours and now you are acting like a stupid jerk by throwing it away! How heartless! Live on Ash! There's more to come, plus we never get to uncover the whole mysteries of the guild. Please, keep on living.... Life is precious, no matter how you look at it. You can only live once. You can't bargain life Ash... not in any way', she feel relieve to hear Ash whimpering beneath her.
'I'm sorry', he sobs. Velery got down, she lift him up and engulf him in a warm hug. 'We will always be by your side Ash. We are friends. Shouldn't we share our pain together?', she gives him the most charming smile she could. The scene change again, one after another she's sees herself stood proud by her friends side. When the last scene ended, hot tears trickle down her cheek.
'Now you see. You power might not be in physical form but they comes in a mental form. Velery, you help them to keep on living. You help them to keep on dreaming. You are part of their success. When times goes wrong you'll always be there to support them. Vel-chan, whether you notice or not, you have to power to connects bond. A power which people deem for but hardly gain. Vel, that's why you are special. With you gone, they will be devastated. You wouldn't want that. After all, you are their hope', Star couldn't hold her formation any longer, her body are disappearing bits by bits. She can only hope that Velery will realize how important she is.
Now, she float there alone without a friend to encourage her, Star disappear into dust. She have to make her choice quick. Velery close her eyes, she focus on everything that makes her feel happy and safe, a bright light ignites from her wrist. The bracelet that Serene gave her tore the white tunnel creating an end to her misery. She finally have her determination to continue what she have left off. Serene grunt, the creature seems to stop and is in a daze, after awhile the creature exploded. In the center stand Velery with a strapless knee length orange dress. At her wrist the bracelet climb up making it looks like she have a tattoo. Her eyes now shine with sheer determination. She turn around and look upwards. A smile climb it's way towards her as the stone figure that embedded on the wall is smiling.
'Thank you Star', she murmurs. Not wasting anymore time, she grab Serene and head to the library. She need to complete another task. One that only she can do, the bracelet shines indicating that it too is ready for the upcoming task.

'This is madness how can a human projectiles glide past dimension?', Scari state. Ari sigh, what she fear have come to life. She tap the dining table and it disappears so does everything in the room. Her long dress change to a short one with a red orb bouncing at her side. She tie her hair and activate her power.
'Those treacherous men have destroy the fabric of dimension. We can't waste time anymore. It's time for some serious action', the Zodiac's nod in agreement. The girls Zodiac bring forth their orb, the orbs are collected and push into the center with them encircling it. One by one they state what kind of zodiac they will represent, when it ends at Ari the orbs shattered and created a wormhole. All of them look at each other with worried look, they aren't sure if they really cut out for the job. After composing themselves they step into the portal. June's eyes landed on the Colosseum like structure. The architecture is the exact same replica as her dream when she was young.
It is black with skulls replacing the wall and a foggy green mist. All of them are astounded to see such structure buried underneath their very own castle. Their eyes focus on a figure standing at the middle of the arena. When the fog clears up the silhouette is visible to all of them. There he is, stood tall with a creepy smile on his face.
'Is', the name come out as vile.
'Aww, come on now. We were such a good friend awhile back. What happen to you?'. June scoff, she have enough of his flirty side. She answer his question with a predator glint. Is laugh, he likes it when his opponent is flustered by how he treated them.
'I'll fight you June,but only you. This friends of yours have to go. On the double,' Is pluck his fingers, another worm hole appear beside him. 'This will teleport you back to the temple and so will the Zodiac's.'
'No way in h-', Ash is about to make the biggest comeback ever when June cut him off by agreeing to the terms. Is lick his lips in a satisfying way. He have dream of having sometime alone with June. June turn around, half her face is covered by her bangs. She didn't need to state her reason but she did ask her friends to believe in her. Ash have a little tantrum at first but completely agree to her decision judging the how she really wants to kick Is's back.
'Ari, I will ask no more than for you to help my friend at the other side. We need as much help as possible and at the quickest state.', she crouch down to kiss the princess feet. Ari stop her when she is half way down. 'I'll respect your choice June. Come on everyone let's go help the humans'. June thought a series of grunting and groaning will echoes through the Colosseum but to her surprise the Zodiac is hyped about kicking butts.
'Thank you everyone', Ash huff. Even though he agree, he still didn't like the idea of leaving June alone. June knows how Ash treasures his friends well being and how hard it will be on him if one of them are lost. She hold his hand 'I promise I will try to return in one piece'.
'You better be or I'll go berserk', June giggle. She wave good be as her friends cross pass the teleport thing. Is stretch his muscles.
'Now that is over, I can do this', he bring out a black orb bringing both him and June inside a place where their battle begins.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ray screech,he slides down the muddy ground. The vine monster is turning berserk. It destroy one quarter of the forest already. He take a glance at Zeille, He's in no condition to fight. Ray sigh, he only have one way to kill the dreadful creature, but he isn't sure if he have enough power to do that. A vine slam his body to a tree, he winced, he's afraid he wouldn't survive. Pulling himself up, he spread his arm, clench his fists together then bump them together. In silence a wave of magical energy spreads through the forest.
Rise from the depths of the sea,
My guardian Dragon Railer!
The muddy place swirls around and around. A roar of a dragon can be heard as Railer appear at the center. The chain sways at his sides meanwhile a golden sword at his right hand, his blue armor glisters under the cloudless sky as it's piercing eyes burn the enemy in front of it. To his side ,Ray huff and puff. Barely gaining enough energy to stand up. 'What have you gotten yourself into boy?', Ray scoff. Of all the time Railer going to nag, he need to nag him now.
'What ever, let's merge. We need to handle this parasite over there', Railer turn his head, the queer shape vine look astounded to see a warrior dragon standing tall. Before, he could say more, a light illuminates both of them. In mere minutes Ray disappears leaving Railer standing alone. 'Water chain!', the chain in it's hand slither and warp around the vine monster. He push the other end of the chain into the earth; the vine monster is immobilize as Railer start a counterattack. Railer swirl his sword on the sky. The cloud swirl according to it's action. 'Descend! Water dragon pillar!', a large amount of water fall on top of the vine monster.
Railer see the vine isn't damage but slightly swollen. The vines raise it's roots as it inch closer. From underneath Railer's footing thousands of vines shot out encircling it's body. 'Your attack will not work', the green monster crackle. Railer scoff, he hates it when monster is too full of them self. It's wrist glows but nothing happens. The vine like thing laugh, 'Inside this barrier your magic is useless', as it says that. The vine attach itself onto Railer the same way Zeille was trapped.
Railer sigh, he didn't intend to draw himself inside this predicament but he certainly amuse to see his opponent fighting. 'You are stupid',he nonchalantly state. He smirk, his fangs glimmers as he cuts the vines in ease using the sword in his hand. 'I have a sword in my hand you ding dong'. The vines flinch.
'But it wasn't there when I trap you', it retort and wail. Railer sigh, he needs to do this quick, Ray's magic running low. 'Please close your mouth', Railer's claws sharpen when he dive it inside the earth, the vines could feel the power surging inside. It tries to run away but it's roots aren't going to reciprocate to it's will. Being a positive hydro tropism, the roots digs deeper into the center of the earth. 'Seems like you feel dominant over the likes of us'.
'What-'.
'Water rusher!', waves of water push through the tissues of the roots it tears through the xylem, flooding it until it bloats. Ray smirk from the inside of Railer. This isn't much of a fight is it? This time he takes control of Railer. On Railer's palms a blue gloves matching with Ray's appear. Ray just pluck his fingers when water vapor squeeze out of the vine. It's being destroy inside out. 'Now! For the finale'. Underneath the dragon's palm two oval thingies appear with thorns sticking out from each side. It turn from goo into a thorny saucers.
'Slash! Vicious killer!'. Using the force on his feet, Ray slash the vines until none left. He then grab the falling Flore and trap him in a bubble. Railer and Ray unbind their merging process. Ray huff, slightly. He have no more energy to fight. Railer stood tall, his eyes landed on Ray. He have grown up. I never thought he would mature this much. Ray watch with a smile curling up to his lip. Just when he thought the mission is over. A vivid image of beaten up Zeille flash through his mind. He curse himself when his body could barely move right at the moment.
He staggers at the few steps the fall face first into the puddle of mud. He tries yet again until a hand help him up. With one eye while closing the other, he could see Zeille up and well with the treasure chest behind him. Zeille sling Ray's arm behind his back and help him walk the rest of the way. Zeille did a little patch up work, he turn his gaze to the impossible to open box. Zeille step towards the chest but three feet behind. Ray could feel a metallic aura being release and the main point is Zeille.
Before he could question his works Zeille hush him. 'I can open the chest but when the chest opens I'm afraid we won't have much chance of winning since neither of us will have enough energy to destroy the part. I want to reconsider this'. Ray flinch, Zeille wants to compromise the mission but this is the wrong time. The sounds of bone cracking snap Zeille from his trance, he could see Ray standing up and grinning. Holding his broken arm, Ray smile.
'Dude, no matter how hard the trial is, we can go through it together', Ray muster up a smile.
'Blergh! Okay! Okay! Stop it! I hate to much affection, but if you are ready then so am I'. With sheer determination and hope, both mages are ready to face anything that the world throw at them for they are not afraid for what is about to come.

Max huff, excess lightning sparks from his fingers, the sight is terrifying. The girl is having her time, blowing enemies towards omni-directional ways. He huff, this is their fourth squadron that day. Luckily, the rest after the first are easy enough, they didn't have to go full blast but at last, they will tire out soon. Max takes a glance, he wish reinforcements will come already. Without he realizing it a wave of humans charged at him.
'Death Ray!', a white laser beam hits the earth, sending a shock wave through out the land. From behind him ,Shikari smile when her staff appear from thin air.
'Need some help?', she kick a few guts of the enemy. She grunt, we simply have no time for this! White symbols climbs to her face, as she slam her staff to the ground. 'Arouse from the ground, NIGHTMARE ARISE!', white hand appear from the ground pulling the soldiers down into the earth. When she sees the hopeless sight of the army she slam her staff once again. This time she transports the three of them to a clearing where Liam stand with his arm cross to his chest and a few medicine plus food by his side.
'There are about ninety one more squadron to handle. And more will come if we didn't terminate the supplier. The dark veins', Shikari turn to face Max.
'Are you up for some serious butt-kicking?', Max have no reason to defy, he is itching to kill and a taste of revenge for his dearest brother in arm.
