Chapter 19: Where It All Begans...(⚠️Spoilers⚠️)

⚠️Warning: This chapter have major spoilers to the Lost Chapter, go watch or play the Lost Chaoter if you haven't before reading this. Thank you!⚠️

Every shape is rebuilding a village as Blixer describe to everyone, the shapes that was corrupted came back as normal shapes now. Ace is under the Treeangle watching everyone help each other rebuild a village called Paradise Village. It seems similar to Glitch rebuilding Paradise Kingdom, Ace must've read too much on the history book. "Hey Ace!" Scorpio appeared next to Ace, he's the only one that can see Scorpio. "I assume you're here to tell me something?" "Yes, I will show you the memories I have when I was a Zodian Revenant. Close your eyes and look in your deepest memory."

------------------------------------------------------------------

Ace woke up in a cave, there was glowing blue and pink crystals. What caught his attention was a void level sealed in pure energy, it have Blixer's face on it so it must be his void level. Then a cyan light formed into a ghostly shape, this must be Scorpio!

The revenant of Scorpio flew up and Ace followed him, then he saw something that he never knew existed. A lost colony of spiders, this part of the cave is where a colony Ace didn't know of exist. Sure it's infested with crystalized corruption but they seem to don't mind. One hop from a platform caused a crystalized corruption to fall on it, knocking down the platform to the bottom. Good thing Ace made it through before he falls into the depths. The revenant moved over to the top where there is a birdcage, but the way was blocked by cobwebs. The Scorpio Revenant ran and jumped in, Ace went after but was suddenly a mysterious invisible barrier stopped him. He checked the name of the song, "Airborne Robots?" Why would the lost colony keep the void levels? "Can the revenant of the Zodian heal this poor shape?" a spider shape asked the other spider shape. "I'm not sure, this shape was a robotic servant of Paradise Kingdom served for the fallen king." Ace is listening on the conversation.

"So why did we have corrupted crystals?"

"I dont know? Lady Spinel was suddenly off by the mysterious stone she found."

"That stone freaks me the fuck out, it kinda reminds me of that one incident."

"You don't mean the incident where Queen Treeangle was shattered, he was her royal messenger and he ended up shattering her."

"Yea but many have theories it was HIM that did it."

"Well I still think it was that shape that done it."

"Whatever flows your boat, I'm still unsure about keeping the weird stone."

What was that conversation? What incident? "HEY BUDDY! I JUST MADE THAT WEB!" Ace turned to see the revenant walked through the destroyed web as a spider was yelling at him. The Scorpio Revenant seems to be unphased by it, he went to the birdcage and opened it. Two birds flew away and one just flew over to a gravity flower, it plucked it an gave it to the revenant before flying away with it's friends. Scorpio adjust it to the other platform and hopped over there with Ace following behind before the crystalized corruption fell and breaks the second platform.

As they progressed, they suddenly heard crying. The two saw Cube around 17 years old scared and trapped under a cobweb, "I just want to go home....I just want to go home..." Cube cried. A bird is trying to help Cube get the cobwebs off of him, but the webs are too strong to cut without anything sharp. The revenant jumped in the level while Ace checked the level's name, "Interlaced? As in Lacey, the great mage? The most powerful magic user that lead the Paradise Kingdom's magic army? I guess they were a victim to corruption as well like the robot." Ace never knew Lacey. Ace heard another conversation and listen closely.

"Lady Spinel seems to be worried, like she was being watched ever since she found that strange stone."

"You don't think it was the Son of Corruption, do you?"

"That's my ONLY theory, I studied in history that the stone could be connected to the incident. I need to do more research if I'm gonna confirmed that."

"My own theory is that scary gargoyle shape is gonna return, remember the Corrupted Gargoyle incident?"

"Honey, I know you're scared. But it's gonna be either of our theories coming true. Come on, let's get home before our daughter gets worried."

Ace watched as the spider couple walked away, then he went back to Cube and saw Scorpio in front of him. Cube stopped crying and looke at Scorpio, "Wh-Who are you?" Scorpio used the triangle bit and tge cobwebs disappeared. Cube smiled an hugged the revenant, "Thank you mister! I was studying the culture of the Lost Caves, but then J got lost and...cried in fear..." Cube blushed in embarrassment. Scorpio gave Cube a headpat before continuing on, Cube and Ace followed him behind. They stopped at a gap, Scorpio looked down and suddenly trembled to his knees. He seems to be afraid of heights with no surface, Cube have an idea and picked up Scorpio as Ace hopped on Cube's back. He took a few steps back and sprinted like there's no tomorrow, he jumped over the gap and landed on the platform. It cracked for a moment right when Cube landed on it, it stopped and everyone sighed in relief. The three continued through the cavern.

They made another stop to see a dead end, they went the other wayand found a treeangle piece stuck in the cobwebs. Scorpio jumped in the void level and Ace did what he usually do, "Last Tile, the former trial master of Survival. I guess she inspired Vindicate Me to make the trial hard." Cube went to talk to the spider making clothes out of spider silk. Ace listened in.

"Hello ma'am, I'm a visitor that wants to learn aboutbyour culture. Do you know anything?"

"Sure do, we all follow our monarch Lady Spinel! But she was off lately, everyone is making theories about the Son of Corruption and the Corrupted Gargoyle while I'm sitting my ass here having a theory that Blixer will be back!"

"Blixer? As in King Blixer?"

"Yup, I was having on of those dreams and it felt so real. Something fell and broke the purity seal, he came out and then suddenly it stopped there. I gotta warn ya, he would be very pissed if he gets out."

"I guess I'll let my pal know about your dream."

"That would be appreciated, nobody listens to my rambles anyway."

Cube bow and said thank you to the spider, the spider even offered him a little cloak for him as a gift of welcome. Cube put it on and smiled, he and Ace caught up with Scorpio. The triangle bit broke the cobweb and set free the second piece, "You're now free Pisces..." he spoke as the second piece few to unite with the first piece but not before it created platforms that leads a way up. Scorpio parkored up to the first cage and knocked the first birdcage down to the platform. The bars broke as it lande next to Cube the birds carried the platform and flew over to him. Cube sat on the floating platform and the birds carried him up, Scorpio continued up an knocke down the second cage. Cube realized where it dropped, on the platform where the crystalized corruption is under. Ace remember what the spider told Cube, Blixer will return soon. The birds lifted up the metal platform as the stone one began to crack more until...

CRACK!!

It completely broke, causing the crystalized corruption to fallen down to the bottom...

Right where the purity seal it at...

The purity seal was broken, leveling the void level open for a certain. angry. king to come out. Blixer was so pissed that he changed into his Oni's Rage form. He let out a roar of pure rage and began climbing with his extra arms. "It's him! We got to get to the surface!" Cube panicked, the birds began carrying Scorpio and Cube up while Blixer was on Pursuit.

Blixer was hot on their tail and the birds are flying faster away from the pink king. He shot his laser beam at Scorpio, but he dodged it to the side. He did it to the other side and Scorpio dodged it too. Then Blixer slammed to the wall, causing the dripstones to drop from above. The revenant immediately got out of the way, he shot at each platform but didn't hit Scorpio yet. Blixer slowed down and laughed his arms at the platform to knock him off of it. Ace can tell that Scorpio is struggling to escape, Blixer is still enraged and is out for Scorpio's blood. Even though shapes don't actually bleed, only the blossoms do sinc they're the only organic beings existed. This is what he called a Pursuit.

They made it to the surface, but suddenly Blixer mad it as well. Cube in a panic, trying to pull the thread to drop the pink crystals. Nothing seems to work until a spider monarch has awoken.


She looked at the situation and pulled out her talons, she slice n' dice the threads and the cobweb was gone. The pink crystals was dropped on Blixer and only his arm was stuck out. Growling and bashing noise wa hear under there, "Don't worry about him, Oni's Rage will drain all of his energy if he use it too long." they looked at the spider monarch and Cube kneeled. "Y-You must be Lady Spinel! I-It's an honor!" Cube said, "You are right, you must be a visitor! Sorry about sealing the entrance but this could be for every shapes' sake." "I can understand that!"

As the two shapes are chatting, Scorpio felt a wave of dread. He made a promise for Blixer not to fall into corruption, he walked away to the entrance. It was blocked as the third treeangle piece was trying to break through the blockade. He noticed the last void level, Scorpio was trying to enter but can't. Then a shape with bi color of pastel pink and mint green emerged from it.

"Hello Scorpio, I know that you're feeling dreaded and despair. But don't give up! You can save my dad from her clutches, there's a way! Once you are reborn, you can still find a way to free him! Remember....You're a born survivor! A natural predator! You can protect Paradise from Disconnect's maste plan!" then her body starts glitching. "Shoot, I wish I could stay here a bit more longer but my energy is running out. Remember! You can save my dad Blixer and avenge my little brother and everyone that was shattered!" then the shape went back into the void and left a triangle bit. Ace check the void level one more time, "Born Survivor, Blixer have kids in the past? What happened to them..." Ace was thinking while Scorpio picked up the triangle bit and threw it at the blockade. It broke through it and the third treeangle piece now unite with the other pieces. They try to merge but a voice boomed from it, "NO!! I WON'T ALLOW YOU TO RUIN MY PLAN!! I WILL SHATTER YOU AND TURN PARADISE INTO A WASTELAND!!! AAAAAAAAGGGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!" the voice was angry and scary. Then the pieces was forced to create a black hole, everyone was holding on until the voice was heard again. "YOU....I THOUGHT YOU TRAPPED EVERYONE!! WE HAVE A DEAL AN YOU ARE NOT GOING ANYWHERE!! IF YOU CAN'T BE USEFUL, THEN I WILL MAKE YOU USEFUL!!!" a sudden force pulled Lady Spinel to the black hole and she screame in terror. "LADY SPINEL!!!!" Cube screamed, a bridge to the black hole was formed and Scorpio ran to it. But Scorpio was then pulled by the force along with Ace to the black hole.

"Let's see how you like to dance with spiders..."

There will be a part 2 of this chapter, which will be the boss fight against Lady Spinel. Then I'll make the epilogue.
