Chapter 20: All for One, One for All

"Creo was filled with anger, he could not suppress his emotions after seeing one of his close friends die in front of his very own eyes." The Narrator said.

"He must pay for this!!!" Creo screamed angrily as he charged at King.

"Creo angrily charges at King, striking and clashing his sword at him, with the sound echoing throughout the castle." The Narrator said.

"You're using your emotions as a fuel to end me but you should not blindly attack your enemy with just your emotions!" King declared as he blocked Creo's sword and knocks him back.

"King rushes in and grabs ahold of Creo's neck and chokes him." The Narrator said.

"You see, your emotions got the better of you, you think your emotions is an asset but for me it's more of a distraction and you lost focus." King said as he held Creo's neck.

"Damn it, how could I be so reckless." Creo said to himself.

"I guess my grief for my friend got a hold of me." Creo said.

"You were quite the foolish king Creo." King said.

"Zion charges in and catches King off guard, saving Creo from his clutches." The Narrator said.

"Thanks again, Zion." Creo chuckled.

"My pleasure, King of Elderith." Zion smiled as he reached out Creo's hand.

"You want to beat up this bastard?" Zion chuckled as he prepares to draw his blade.

"Definitely." Creo said as he went to do his fighting stance.

"Well what are we waiting for?" Zino remarked.

"All for One, One for All!" All four of them exclaimed as they rushed in to confront the villain King.

"You lads sure don't know when to gice up, admirable. I can respect that." King said as he rushed towards them.

"But you should know when to give up sometimes." King said as he disarms Zion, knocking him down on the ground.

"You'll pay for that." Zino and the Bookkeeper said as they charged at King, with their spells ready at hand." The Narrator said.

"But what the heroes don't know, that this was the moment where King was going to release his secret weapon." The Narrator stated.

"I've lost, ha. No, nay, nein. It's not the end for me, it has only been the beginning." King stated as he revealed the Aethereal Dreamstone Crystal in his hands.

"Shit..." All four of them exclaimed as they were affected by the power of the Aethereal Dreamstone Crystal.

"Have a taste of the crystal at its finest power, your undying hope of defeating me is annoying as a pest can inflict upon a human!" King exclaimed as he began to chant and use the crystal's power.

"Damn he's stronger than we thought." The Bookkeeper said as he was struggling to get up.

"With just a single flick, I had just granted my dream of ongoing chaos upon this kingdom and now, I'll just have to wait by finishing you all and think about what I'll do with you guys next." King said sinisterly as he charged.

"We have to stop him now!" Creo said.

"I know you guys are here to help me but chaos is still ongoing, Bookkeeper and Zino use your magic spells upon the chaos, me and Zion will handle King in the castle." Creo said determined as he got up after impact.

"Roger that!" Zino and Bookkeeper said as they went on to handle the chaos outside.

"We should distract him and attack his vulnerable areas." Creo said as he draws out his blade.

"Good plan." Zion stated as both of them rushed in to fight King.

"You're strategies are quite pitiful." King said as he charged in and blocked their attack.

"Honestly it would be nice if Athena were here to distract him right about now." Zion said as he was struggling against King's sword.

"You're on point with that, Zion." Creo said as he used his gauntlets to create a small sonic wave and hits King which heavily damages him.

"Not bad...I underestimated you too much, King of Elderith." King said as he struggled to get up from the sonic wave impact.

"Meanwhile in the other side of the castle, Athena and Queen are still having their duel fighting to the death." The Narrator said.

"You're like annoying pest, refusing to die and be caught!" Queen said as she kept striking her blade but completely missed.

"Athena proceeds to use her ice powers but misses due to Queen's enhanced speed." The Narrator said.

"Honestly I'm surprised you could make it this far if you were actually this weak." Queen said mockingly as she drew her blade.

"I'm not some weakling that will submit myself to the likes of you." Athena said as she disarms Queen.

"Besides you and your allies will eventually crumble, as I have faith in Creo and my friends." Athena said as she charges towards Queen.

*The scene cuts back to Creo and Zion Kishima continuing their fight with King*

"You both are quite the remarkable swordsmen, you've made it this far to come, but alas eventually you will crumble and submit to CHESS!" King declared as he charged towards Creo and Zion.

"Zion and Creo dodged King's attack and decided to plan their next move to counterattack King." The Narrator said.

"He's quite the opponent Creo." Zion said as he began to scoff.

"We need to defeat him now before he does anymore damage." Creo exclaimed.

"Right." Zion declared as he and Creo charged towards King.

"You just never know when to give up, do you, Dream Preservers?" King said mockingly as he charged to attack them as well.

"King disarms Zion and knocks him back and goes after Creo and stabs him, making him lie down on the ground." The Narrator said.

"Your reign has ended, King of Elderith." King said as he grabbed his bloodied sword and goes after Zion.

"Creo! You damn bastard, you'll pay!" Zion said as he charged towards King.

*Meanwhile outside the mortal plane, the atmosphere was cold and dark where Creo eventually wakes up and sees a person in front of him, it was none other than Lady Death.*

"It's you again!" Creo exclaimed as he was getting up.

"We meet again, King of Elderith." Death smiled as she walked towards Creo.

"I died again, didn't I?" Creo said.

"Indeed, you've died for the second time." Death said as she confronted him.

"I'll give you another chance to arise back into the human world but promise me next time you don't go off acting so reckless." Death said.

"Very well, Lady Death. I promise." Creo said enthusiastically.

"You better." Death smirked.

*Back in Elderith, Zion and King are continuing their clash when suddenly an illuminating light fills the castle*

"What's going on over there?" Zion stated.

"I have no idea." The Bookkeeper said.

"Well, I know what this means." Athena smirked.

"I knew he still had some fight in him." Zion said enthusiastically.

"Impossible!" King stated.

"Creo stands up after getting fatally wounded with himself glowing with aura and confronting King." The Narrator said.

"This ends now!" Creo stated determined to defeat him.
