Volume 4: Chapter 13

Coral Chamber, Lemurian Belt

Members of the Pionin's Truth are tied up and being guarded by the Cult of Sheyane

Sheyane Cultist: So what do we do with them?

Woelyn: Do whatever you desire, I'm sure it doesn't matter

Neve: Couldn't this be considered a war crime?

Elghene: Well, she's right depending on what you guys do

Sheyane Cultist: Oh we just plan to take custody of them until further instruction

Neve: How about I get custody over the prisoners?

Woelyn: Seems like a conflict of interests

Hyuken: Yeah who's to say you won't just set them loose?

Neve: I can see why you'd say that but I promise I won't!

Thechr: Still seems like an unnecessary risk

Neve: Well someone has to stay with the prisoners and keep order over The Coral Chamber

Kelpie: I'll do it

Thechr: Really?

Kelpie: What greater honor is there then serving the crew honorably?

Thechr: I guess that is true

Neve: But just one person would be a mistake?

Iaray: I can stay behind too

Kiqi: You sure?

Iaray: I'm more suited to this type of job anyway

Demeui: So the plan now is to teleport to the portal site and place the third and fourth portal batteries?

Kiqi: Yes

Elghene: What are we waiting for then?

Thechr: Nothing, let's go

The Crew of the Xen Grand grabs the portal batteries and teleports away

Guadlajara, Mexico

The Century Corps has located the Fifth Portal battery in an old decrepit church, it is surrounded by a bed of cursed water

Larkin: So…how can we get it out of there?

Sahu: What did we do the last time we dealt with cursed water?

Eoontaq: How would I direct it this time, into the DRINKING WATER?

Hadane: I could evaporate the water?

Nest: You really think you could?

Hadane: I do

Eoontaq: Wouldn't it feed into the water cycle still?

Hadane: My flames should purify the water, ever heard of pasteurization?

Eoontaq: Can you really pasteurize a CURSE?

Darsah: I don't see why you can't

Hadane: Alright well I'll get started

The story has been taken without consent; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

Hadane plants her staff down and begins making the cursed water boil

Darsah: Oh and Centus?

Centus: Yeah

Darsah gives Centus a seed

Darsah: You'll know what to do with this when the time is right

Centus: Alright

Centus puts the seed away

Nest: So what now?

Eoontaq: Wait I guess

A plane crash is heard outside of the church

Larkin: Damn it that must be him

Iehn: So are we going to kill him?

Spade: Digging another grave

Centus: You've been oddly quiet?

Spade: I want to put that part of my life to rest, to finally bury it once and for all

Green Goo begins phasing through the church wall

Lark2n: So it looks like you got here first?

Larkin: What of it?

Lark2n: I'm just amused

Larkin: Well, you seem quite outmatched here?

Lark2n: On the contrary

Larkin: How so? You are outnumbered nine to one

Lark2n: That won't matter

Lark2n presses a button on his chest and aether begins flowing into his body

Nest: Uhm what the hell is happening?

Lark2n: I believe you're meeting your match

The Aether fills Lark2n's body, making him grow large and gain titan like proportions

Lark2n: Look at me now, far from that meek puddle of goo huh

Larkin: Lark2n you evil bastard don't think just becuase you're a big man now doesn't mean we won't kill you

Lark2n: I have all the strength and size of a Titan plus immortality, YOU CAN'T BEAT ME

Iehn: We will see about that

Iehn runs right at Lark2n

Lark2n: NO, DON'T YOU DAR-

Iehn burries herself in Lark2n's body deaing immense damage to his body

Lark2n: GRAAAAAAH

Larkin: Alright, you'll fall today "brother"

Lark2n: I truly despise you

Larkin: The feeling is mutual

Sahu: Time to break up the sibling banter and kill this guy

Fight against Lark2n

When he is at 90%

Lark2n: I'm not going to give up so easily

Centus: I sure hope you don't, it makes the fight far too easy

Lark2n: I'm above mortality

Centus: Then I will punish you accordingly

Resume

When he is at 80%

Lark2n: I think you should maybe take a nap in the dirt

Spade: How about I aid you to sleep instead

Resume

When he is at 70%

Nest: The aether radiating off of Lark2n is incredible, it's similar to mine when I…

Hadane: Maybe the time for reminiscing is another day

Nest: Perhaps

Resume

When he is at 60%

Centus: I wonder, what does it really mean to be immortal?

Larkin: Why bring this up now?

Centus: Because we have to reconsider what we thought we knew against an opponent like this

Larkin: I see, well I'll be happy to assist in updating the dictionary

Resume

When he is at 50%, Iehn begins struggling to stay inside Lark2n's cell mass

Iehn: I don't know how long I can pry him open

Lark2n: I'll get rid of you parasite

Lark2n moves to try to eject Iehn but Nest surrounds herself with the discarded Aether around her

Nest: Alright, I believe this is enough

Nest turns herself back into that massive bird she first used against The Buzzard

Nest: Try to attack me now

Lark2n: I see what you are now

Lark2n shoots a mass of cells at Nest but Eoontaq deflects it into the water

Eoontaq: Shall we resume our fight now

Resume

When Lark2n is at 40%

Lark2n: Despite your best efforts, I will still grant the wish of the entire world

Larkin: Why do you seek to do that?

Lark2n: I want respect and to erase your ridicule

Resume

When he is at 30%

Larkin: Even though I did ridicule you at the start Lark2n, I do respect you for the opponent you've become, but that doesn't mean I won't kill you

Lark2n: I appreciate the gesture nonetheless, although this won't be enough if you hoped you could get me to stand down like this

Larkin: It was worth a try

Resume

When he is at 20%

Nest: The aether that surrounds me here is increasing

Iehn: You're quite literally beating it out of our gooey adversary so it doesn't surprise me

Lark2n: Yeah…

Resume

When he is at 10%

Lark2n: I must…keep going…I have mankind's desires to realize

Iehn: Safe to say no one here wants you to create your own society

Lark2n: I'm here so checkmate

Larkin: Looks like my sense of humor was in those clones all along

Resume

When you finally defeat Lark2n, Iehn jumps out of his body as his cells begin to melt into the water as he once again begins to dissipate

Lark2n (In Immense Pain): I'll return….this isn't…the end

Larkin: I know and when you rear your head again, I will be there to knock it back under

Lark2n vanishes without a trace

Spade: Well, at least we won

Hadane: Oh and good news, I think the curse is gone now, we just need the water to cool down first

Nest: How about I just grab it

Nest swoops down and grabs the portal battery with her talons

Sahu: Wait why didn't we lead with that?

Nest: Lacked the right amount of aether to complete the transformation

Eoontaq: That checks out

Iehn: So uh Nest mind giving us a lift?

Nest: Oh yeah sure

Darsah: Can you really fly halfway around the world?

Nest: We have to try

The party climbs onto Nest's back and she takes off
