Chapter 7 - CHAPTER NINE ( UNDERWORLD REALM PREPARE)

Valefar: Hello, pitiful humans.

Paul: Pitiful humans. (Unleashing intense aura.)

Frostgard: He's the one hunting our realm beasts.

Ashley: Why are you hunting them?

Kyle: Do you have a death wish, old fool?

Valefar: Old fool? I didn't come here to fight. Hand over those monsters to me.

Stellavore: We are not your monsters! (Stellavore screeches.)

Ezra: He's an underworld ruler — Valefar, the Wisest Lord.

Paul: I don't care if you're a demon lord or not. You can't just make demands.

Valefar: I wasn't asking. I'm ordering you to give them to me. You're no match for me.

Paul: You said you weren't here for a fight.

Kyle: Guess we'll have to give you one then.

Paul (inner monologue): For him to be a ruler of the underworld, his level of grace and mana must be high.

(Mind communication to Kyle) Can you hear me, Kyle?

Kyle: Yes, my king.

Paul: You and I will attack. Ezra, take the rest to a safe place.

Kyle: Alright. Do you copy, Ezra?

Ezra: Yes.

Paul: I want to fight you, Valefar — but not here.

Valefar: Do you think you can fool me, human? I am the Wisest Lord in the underworld.

Paul: Now, Kyle.

(Paul and Kyle attack together.)

Valefar: Move back — smash your heads on the wall!

(Paul and Kyle are thrown back, smashing their heads on the wall.)

Kyle: Paul — why are you shocked?

Paul: That's Authority.

Kyle: What's that?

Paul: Watch out!

(Valefar punches Paul, sending him flying miles away.)

Valefar: Now for you, monsters!

Kyle:(Elemental Release — Night Dreams.)

Valefar: You look like you just learned this move.

(Ashley kicks Valefar, sending him flying.)

Kyle: What are you doing here?

Ashley: I came to help.

Kyle: No — you shouldn't be here. Go somewhere safe.

Ashley: And let my brother die? No. Stop ordering me around — I can fight too!

Paul (bleeding): You fool… this is an underworld ruler, not some common street villain. Leave it alone — it's an order!

Ashley: Please — I can fight too. Remember you trained me, Paul.

Paul: Then fight for the future, Ash. Your life is more important than our death. Flameheart, take her away before Valefar recovers.

Flameheart: Yes, my king.

Valefar (raging): How dare you make me bleed, you foolish human! (Screaming) You will pay for this!

Kyle: Here he comes.

Paul:(Elemental Release — Dragon Fire.)

(The fire strikes Valefar.)

Valefar: I didn't want to do this, but you have left me no choice.

(Summoning — Great Warrior of the Underworld. A giant being emerges from a summoning circle.) Now it's two versus two.

Paul: Stellavore!

Stellavore: Yes, my king.

Paul: Looks like our first battle together is going to be hell. Kyle, take the giant warrior. Stellavore and I will handle Valefar. Let's go!

Kyle:(Elemental Release — Gravity Control.) Yes — that should hold you down. (Elemental Release — Anti-Gravity Control.)

(Giant warrior screams and struggles.)

Kyle: It's finished… it broke free. Nah, this is not good.

Paul: Now, Valefar — it's your turn.

(Elemental Release — All-Round Might. A giant hammer strikes Valefar three times.)

Valefar: Humans, humans, humans! You useless beings with selfish desires! (Elemental Release — Songs of My Grace.)

(Shock waves lean into the battlefield. Paul collapses to the ground.)

Kyle (inner monologue): Should I try Temple, now that Paul taught me how to use it? What's that sound?

(Giant warrior slams Kyle repeatedly. Kyle coughs blood.)

Kyle: Still no good, huh? After all this teaching and training… I pretend I'm strong, but I'm not — just a teenager who loves to play games and watch sports.

(Elemental Release — Temple.)

(A giant temple builds itself around the giant warrior, covering his entire body and space — killing him in minutes.)

Kyle: I did it. At last I can finally create a temple without hurting anyone.

Paul: Looks like Kyle is done there. Now it's our turn, Stellavore — let's co-attack.

Paul & Stellavore: Dragon Breath — Volcanic Avalanche!

(An anonymous force blocks the attack.)

Valefar: Took you long enough to come, Valecton.

Valecton: What do you think you're doing, Valefar? I told you to get the creation, not those useless creatures.

Paul: Who is he? Your partner?

Valecton: Please forgive my brother for his foolish act. We are here to capture you, Creation.

Paul: Me?

Valecton: Please do not try to resist. We need you alive.

Paul: What do you want with me?

Valefar: For the supreme being awakening.

Paul: Supreme being awakening? What are you talking about?

Valecton: You wouldn't understand. We rulers of the underworld have been alive for three million years, seeking ultimate power.

Valefar: Then she told us about you — that if we consume half of you we will become a supreme being.

Paul: She? Well, I'm not letting anyone consume me. It's just you two?

Valecton: Who said we were two?

(Nighma emerges from Valecton's body.)

Nighma: Finally — some action.

Stellavore: It's three against two?

Nighma: Three? You must be joking. (Summoning — Circle Anti-Creation: "Hoila" & "Memo.")

Stellavore: Anti-Creation? What the hell is she?

Paul: What about Kyle? We can't take five of them.

Stellavore: He's still unconscious, my king.

Paul: Then we will have to fight them. (Elemental Release — Mighty Kill.)

(Paul slices Valecton's hand off.)

Valecton: That's nice. (Elemental Release — Songs of the Underworld.)

(Paul is bleeding from his ears.)

Stellavore: My king — get a hold of yourself. We need to block their attack.

Paul: I'm alright, Stellavore. Let's just keep attacking. (Forbidden Element — Infinite Darkness.)

(Paul traps Hoila and kills her.)

Stellavore: My turn. (Dragon Breath — Volcanic Flame of Sorrow.) Burning Memo to ashes.

Valecton: Knew those two were useless. (Authority.)(Bleeds from eyes.)

Paul:(screaming) Ahhhhh!

Stellavore: He has Authority too. Who gave them access?

Valefar: I will use the last one — Authority! (Valefar uses it; Paul loses consciousness.)

Paul: W… what— (Paul loses consciousness.) I see they amplify Authority — using it better than when Ethan Stark used it.

(Paul collapses.)

Stellavore: My king— (Dragon Breath — Volcanic Avalanche.)

Valecton: It's useless. Your king has lost consciousness. Your Volcanic Avalanche can't be powerful anymore. Carry Paul, Valefar.

Valefar: Yes, brother. Bye, Stellavore. Oh, you don't need to cry. When we are done consuming him, you will remain in our world of freedom.

(Kyle begins regaining consciousness.)

(Dimensional gate opening.)

(Valefar and Valecton carry Paul through the gate.)

Kyle: Oh… Paul! (staggering) Wait — where are you taking Paul to?

Valefar: Regain consciousness first before you say anything. Bye.

(Dimensional gate closes.)

Kyle: Paul!!!!!!!!!!!!
