episode 40 The power of the magic eye

"Wreck" looks terrified and doesn't feel like looking at anyone.

Wreck:-[gasp] what do I…want to believe?

Tika:-it's the only thing you never asked yourself before, if you have believed that you might do the same mistake and kept that hidden from everyone then…[yell] who are you? We are your friends, if you have a secret just don't hide it and make it a burden to yourself, I was once a burden to everyone, I couldn't talk and I couldn't look at anyone else…but who was it, who made this strong? Who got me out of this burden life? You're the capable shifter, right? If you can shift people's life to how they want it to be, how come you can't shift yours?!

"Wreck" looked at her while crying, "Yaguto" just realized what he was missing.

Yaguto:-hey "Wreck"… I want you to do me a favor, as a request…if we all get out of here alive…can you give us a chance to proven ourselves? That challenge from before we headed to the "Ever Frost", you said if we took the bells that means we're ready to go without you…please don't push me aside like I'm some kind of nuisance.

Wreck:-"Yaguto", you better listen to me, and I'm going to say this nicely…remember that day when you're not promoted and no longer a warrior? Well actually…it was never meant to be!

Yaguto:-[gasp]…what? Does that mean I was disqualified not because I made an accident…but you did that on purpose?

Wreck:-it was never easy, "Yaguto"…[yell] it was never easy to just let you all stay in the lab for so long and let that monster come and kill you all, I confused you so you could leave, you once asked for a replacement well here I am dying so you could go on with your twisted will of yours.

Raaza:-if you're done talking I think it is time that you bring the artifact for now, (looks like they fixed him, with that speech he won't fear his past anymore).

Yaguto:-you don't have to do this, if you don't want to then.

Gaplock:-you're way too late to stop it now!

"Gaplock" appears out of nowhere grabs "Tika" hostage, "Raaza" summons more reanimated soldiers, the previous soldiers that was melt have arrived surrounding "Yaguto", "Gaplock" passes "Tika" to "Raaza".

Yaguto:-you don't have to do this, you don't have to just use the magic eye to do this.

Gaplock:-and yet you knew nothing…whatever happens.

"Gaplock" somehow finds a way to manipulate the magic eye and activate the circle, somehow purple smoke started appearing in the center of the room, all the smoke gathered into on point the started reshaping into an artifact, the artifact suddenly breaks into pieces where it can not be used, "Gaplock" manipulated the magic eye so he can undo the destruction of the artifact then quickly teleported to the center without getting destroyed, he then lets go of the magic eye, grabbed the artifact and gave it to "Raaza".

Raaza:-finally, [smile] the proceed is done…[yell] the artifact of withering is now by our hands.

The whole "Laughing Demon" members gets formed.

Xephor:-…(there it is…with that artifact in the hands of the "Laughing Demon", this world is done for).

Zuhair:-[giggle]…we won…there is nothing you can do right now.

Klai:-hey, we're not done here yet.

Hakim:-looks like it's game over for you 2…in a different way.

"Hakim" leaves "Armel" and "Shanks", "Zuhair" distracts the team and heads for "Raaza".

Raaza:-quickly now, since we got the artifact… "Kalibur" must die this instant.

Gaplock:-…as you wish.

Wreck:-…(what do I want to believe? Can I believe it? Is it possible to just change everything just by believing)?

"Gaplock" stabs "Wreck" through the heart and keeps it inside.

Gaplock:-you are the capable shifter, you only have one weakness…you need to breath in order to shift your conditions…without that you will slowly faint to your death.

Wreck:-[blacking out] (I who killed his first very best friend, lived this long just to wonder around and meet people…I'm sorry "Ben" that we can't built a strong house to keep our dreams, instead…[remember "Tika's" words] what do I want to believe? This house I've built has reached its limit I should have known better than to just leave it at its limit, as the capable shifter I'm capable shifting anything…so let me just make this one last chance…a chance to make things right).

"Wreck" dies, his eye pupils turned white, "Tika" runs to him panicking, "Gaplock" leaves the room with "Raaza", though she ordered her soldiers to kill "Yaguto" and "Tika", as they approach them the black orb tools came out of nowhere breaking every last soldier then chopped both "Wreck's" arms off, "Wreck" opens his eyes and used the magic eye to undo the chopping of his arms leaving the cuffs empty, and so it turned out that "Wreck's" death was an act.

wreck:-did that scare you…I'm surprised that you have forgotten what I can do.

Yaguto:-[sweat]…what…was that? Your eyes just turned white!

Wreck:-all "Skarvenian's" eyes turn white when they die, I just took the opportunity to fake it.

Tika:-[yell, cry] you idiot, why didn't you do this in the beginning? you scared me when you took the blow and faint like that, don't tell me that you waited for them to leave, that is just too reckless of you.

Wreck:-…yeah, I'm sorry…it was kind of a near death experience, you can scold me all you like but hear me out…it is not that I want to believe or not, I just wanted to know what am I supposed to believe in since everything, I saw, I heard and I felt from how it's real in front of my very eyes…what I wanted to believe is that…being a hero does not require sacrifices, I… "Wreck Veganson" the capable shifter should know better than to leave a shield broken in battle, I once told myself that we can build a house strong enough to keep any wolf away from our dreams, if I can't do that then why am I the capable shifter?

The soldiers came back to attack them, "Wreck" went and shift the soldiers by touching, canceling them out one by one, this alerted "Raaza" since she is the caster of the reanimation.

Raaza:-[gasp] no…impossible, how is he still alive?

Gaplock:-I know I've killed him, there is no mistake…his eyes appeared white, that's how we confirm that he's dead.

Raaza:-instead, the opposite is about to happen, he should be gone by now…looks like he was kind of faking it so we could leave not knowing that he would save those children!

"Zuhair" arrives the same time "Wreck" did, "Raaza" felt like she has nowhere to go.

Zuhair:-what's going on here…you said you were to kill "Kalibur" after completely taking the artifact.

Raaza:-[sweat] that was the plan, till it was from behind the scene, this "Kalibur Alverice" might be smarter than the previous, since he's alive "Eblees" is done for.

Zuhair:-…maybe "Eblees" will begone, but you might be the only one who won't.

Raaza:-boss? What are you--?

Zuhair:-give me the artifact and evacuate, you will be the only "Laughing demon" to live and carry on our will and pride.

Raaza:-[panic] boss, this isn't how it's supposed to go, we got the artifact, we can still win.

Zuhair:-no "Raaza"…I asked for the artifact, you don't actually need it, hey "Gaplock"…if this is how you wished it would be so be it, take her and leave.

Raaza:-[yell] no, we won, I know we did.

"Gaplock" grabs "Raaza" and leaves as quick as possible, "Zuhair" used the artifact to make his explosions splash with wither effects.

Wreck:-am I gonna have my rematch? The last time was a close call, you almost killed me with that explosion.

"Wreck" summons 2 black orbs and shape them into a sickle and a long sword, meanwhile "Yaguto" and "Tika" went on the ceiling passing through the battle and headed to "Klai", "Kira" and "Shimarai".

Shimarai:-[surprised] "Yaguto"? where is "Wreck".

Yaguto:-there is no time, we got to leave, I'll explain it to you later.

As "Wreck" battles "Zuhair" the palace shakes like it's about to collapse.

klai:-[sweat] and with that now we know that the magic eye is loose, this place will fall down if we don't get moving.

"Hakim" arrives not knowing what's happening, he got confused when they turned around instead of going forward.

Hakim:-[sweat] what's going on? Why would you turn around?

Yaguto:-the answer you seek is right back there, the one you call "Kalibur Alverice" is on the loose, no one can control him anymore, not even his dark past.

Hakim:-[angry] no, this shouldn't happen, you must be lying right now.

"Hakim" ignores the team and goes for "Wreck" to understand what's going on, the team meets up with "Shanks", "Armel", "Stella" and "Blake".

Stella:-what's going on?

Yaguto:-no time to explain we got to leave.

Shanks:-and what about "Wreck"?

Yaguto:-he'll be fine, quickly let's get out of here before this whole place collapses.

As they proceed on get out "Lukman" appears to be running to see "Zuhair".

Lukman:-[yell] victory is ours, we have won this battle, you're all done for.

The team:-[sweat] (he has no clue, does he)!

As they proceed forward the entrance was already collapsed and "Samuel" did not leave the area at all.

Samuel:-hey guys, sorry I couldn't get to you.

Stella:-did your leg just froze.

Samuel:-well…yeah, it did froze, it's kind of weird that this is happening lately…s why did you come back?

Yaguto:-since everything is done here we might as well stay and watch.

Kira:-can you explain what is happening right now? There must be something you've done.

Yaguto:-yeah, we did something…we just freed "Wreck" from his nightmares, now he's all serious using his eyes.

Shimarai:-we just left him in there with those "Laughing Demons", is he going to take him all by himself.

Tika:-it's not that easy to change the minds of people, if you know "Wreck" he's hard to kill.

Blake:-you mean like even if we tried our fullest he's still going to be on his feet?!

Klai:-that's the pride of the capable shifter, he shifts anything.

Yaguto:-and with that.

"Wreck" summons the "Mountain Slayer", its size matches 2 mountains, the armor resembles a samurai, its color is as white as snow and it has a whale voice loud enough for everyone to here.

Lukman:-[terrified] what is happening right now? Aren't we supposed to win?

Hakim:-so this is the power of the magic eye! How unfortunate…the old "Kalibur Alverice" once told me…a dream can sometimes be a reality, but this?

Zuhair:-yeah, I guess you're right, no point fighting.

Hakim:-[terrified] this is insane, how can someone this small knows and able to control such a thing.

Zuhair:-that's "Kalibur Alverice" for you…the "Mountain Slayer" is a fiction, the armor is made of billions of armors merged together.

Hakim:-and it looks like I can't fear death anymore, because I got used to accepting facts now…my cycle ends here.

The moment the "Slayer" slashes the ground with his sword explosion starts spreading and multiplying, taking everything with it till there is nothing left of "Eblees".

Kira:-wow…who would have thought that a child is capable of such a thing, good thing he's in our side.

Shanks:-you can't expect a visitor to strike and leave, can you?

Samuel:-why would he leave? He found someone better in his life, if he threw that chance the ones who loved him will be sad, right?

Tika:-…no matter what we say to him…he'll still leave, he does kind of have more work to do in the future.

Yaguto:-I don't know what is he plotting in that big brain of his…it's like he's trying his best…to turn us into heroes.
