As Garet, Glifford, and Savannah scampered through the slender trees in the midst of the night, charcoal clouds chased them from above. Roaming their sight as they seek for the man who was responsible for Alexis' slumber.

A loud clap welcomed them and when they looked up, they saw Kronos in Dark's body sitting on the top of a withered tree.

"My best friends," Kronos mumbled. He jumped off the tree and stand before them.

"You're not Dark, so don't call us your friend." Savannah pouted.

Kronos tilted his head and smirked. "It's my time to take my revenge."

The ground began to tremble along with another layer of darkness covering them, Garet was languidly watching Kronos as he releases an immense amount of magic.

"You're weak," Garet stated.

Kronos halted and looked at Garet. Both Glifford and Savannah were smirking at their opponent, "You're not going to join?" Glifford asked.

"You can defeat him without me," Garet said.

Savannah winked at Kronos, "Sorry, the king wants you back to the Tartarus."

"The king wants Alexis and Dark back," Glifford uttered.

"Will you stop?" Garet frowned.

"Sana all stop," Both Savannah and Glifford teased. Garet was about to speak when they suddenly summoned their swords and charged towards Kronos.

"You will be battling Dark's blessing—"

"Batas ka, girl." Savannah interrupted. "My bad, a royalty shouldn't talk that way. Sorry," she added.

Savannah jumped on Glifford's back. He began to encircle on Kronos, they were confusing Kronos until Savannah jumped and soared the air. She plummets towards Kronos but her body halted in the middle, Kronos smirked.

Kronos' attention was on Savannah that he failed to notice Glifford. He plunged his sword to Kronos and pierced through his stomach. Kronos mumbled a curse and back off.

Garet smirked, "I see. You are not fully in control of Dark's body. You still cannot control your power,"

Kronos gritted his teeth, it was a secret that he didn't want to unravel. He is not fully in control of Dark's body and he can only use Dark's blessing for one time a week, his time manipulation ability can only control two persons at a time. And now that he is also controlling Alexis in his curse, he can only control one among the three.

Glifford caught Savannah and helped her to stand, another smirked appeared across Kronos' face, he was thinking of his last resort and he knows that they will be unable to move if he utters it.

"You will never be able to hurt the body of your friend. You know that he is still alive, right?" Kronos smirked.

Both Glifford and Savannah shrugged, "Garet and Dark always hurt each other, so nothing is new." Savannah mumbled.

"Finish him," Garet ordered.

Two large magic circle collided and eradicated the darkness. "UNISON CHARGE: The Bandit's Dance!" Savannah glowed and acquired Glifford's speed, Kronos was unable to follow her movements.

Kronos felt a pang on his leg but immediately subside his leg was slowly becoming a stone. Savannah smirked while looking at Kronos' confused look, she glances at Glifford and gave him a signal.

And when Savannah landed her attack on his head, all of his body was slowly being petrified. "Glifford," Savannah called.

Glifford walked his way to Kronos, he touched its body and was slowly absorbing Kronos' magical energy, the brim of darkness was slowly disappearing, and with their naked eyes, they all saw how Kronos' spirit was slowly being suck at the bottom.

"Savannah, undo your blessing," Glifford said. Savannah poked Dark's body and the petrification was slowly fading until Dark kissed the ground.

"I told you, finish him—"

"Attitude ka, Garet. Si Dark na 'yan." Savannah scowled.

"I'm just kidding. Bring him, Glifford."

The gregarious rumbling of the clouds echoed. The Primus Section was gasping for their breath, the goddess in front of them was extremely powerful. After Aizelle's attack, none of their attacks were able to scratch her glistening skin.

Light even with his Intelectix wasn't able to think of any strategy on how they will defeat the almighty being before them.

"How weak. You claimed the highest section yet you are weaker than mice." Gaea taunted.

Sa isang kumpas lamang niya ng kaniyang kamay ay tumalsik si Light sa isang bato. He spit out blood from his mouth, Aizelle unknowingly helped him.

Ice grips at her Crystalline Sword, her crystal blue eyes were burning with anger. Gaea once again waved her hand, the ground began to float and collide in the mid-air, and bit by bit was forming into spikes.

Gaea smiled, the spikes soared the air, Serena stood in front and made a large shield from her pearls. She was enduring the pain and the impact of the attack, it was intense and was draining a huge amount of magic energy from her.

And when the spikes diminish, Serena was catching her breath, it was exhausting for her.

The goddess standing before suddenly laughed coldly, the eeriness from the surrounding doubled along with another wave of vibration from the ground.

In Gaea's front, a certain ground was lifting until it stops. And when her hand touches it, the ground took the form of a sword. Gaea's steel eyes glimmers with excitement.

All of a sudden Gaea disappeared from their sight. The raspy soil was started to dance in the air at kalaunan ay nagsama sama ang mga ito hanggang sa unti-unting nabuo ang dalawang golem.

Their attentions were on the golems that they almost forgot the goddess, Gaea thrusts her sword towards Aicelyn who immediately winced because of the surprise attack.

Aicelyn manages to catch the attack with her Crystalline Sword. Gaea smirked knowing that Aicelyn wasn't that skilled with swords, Aicelyn gritted her teeth.

The ground they were standing was abruptly turned into ice, "Uh-uh, cheater." Gaea mumbled.

Gaea almost slipped from the slippery floor that is why she immediately back off.

Aicelyn was about to plunge her sword towards Gaea when Aizen pulled her. "I have a bad feeling about this," Aizen whispered.

Gaea sadistically laughed. Her head began to shake as if she was being possessed by something. Another face appeared in Gaea's facade, the other half was covered with ground texture— it was Gaea's creepy version. The split image looks like an old woman who was ready to devour and hunt down every child in Halloween.

"I need to kill all of you," Gaea announced.

She snapped her fingers and plum-colored spheres appeared in front of Gaea. She was smirking at the demigods who were cluelessly looking at her little gifts.

"Aizelle, Serena, shoot those things." Light commanded.

Both Serena and Aizelle nodded. With their arrows and pearls, they shot the incoming attack of Gaea.

Light realizes the possible scenarios with Gaea's attack because whenever it made contact with the arrows or pearl, it disappears.

With eyes widened, he runs as fast he can to Aizelle's location just to save her from dying. Light was smart enough to throw a pebble on Gaea's black hole, "Fuck, you scared me." Light mumbled as he carried Aizelle out of Gaea's sight.

Aizelle eyes softened along with a loud pounding of her heart. She bit her tongue when she realized what she was doing, her symbol will kill both of them— both Phoenix and her. Light let go of her and made another link using his Intelextic along with a warning.

A warning that whatever happens they must avoid the black hole.

Serena let out a sigh. She unsummoned her twin guns and summon a sniper rifle, it was her last resort. A powerful attack that will consume a huge amount of magic and she only have three chances to damage their opponent.

Both Aizen and Aicelyn charged towards Gaea, they were doing their best to avoid the black holes from Gaea's facade. From the left, Aicelyn plunged her sword and was stop with Gaea's fingers. Aizen wasn't shaken by it and instead, he launched his attack to the right but was also deflected by Gaea's sword.

Aicelyn swirled her sword so she could escape but Gaea's touch was so strong that she wasn't able to escape her grasps.

"Serena," Light mumbled inside their heads.

"GOT IT!" Serena shouted.

Serena pulled the trigger of the sniper rifle along with a large magic circle, a pearl with a mixture of black and pink soared the air and was being pushed by a rocket of water.

The pearl pierced through Gaea's body directly to her stomach, a large hole became visible to her body. The commotion made a way for both Aizen and Aicelyn to escape from her grasp.

Serena clicked her tongue when not a single blood drip on the hole she made. Two chances left. Serena frustratingly bit her lip when she saw how the wound she made regenerated as if her damage wasn't enough.

Gaea's eyes landed to Serena, she looked at her from head to toe which made Serena to be stunned on her place. Serena's lips tremble, fear began to lurk in his body as she looked at Gaea's eyes.

"Shit! Si Serena!" Sue shouted.

Phoenix was the closest one to Serena, he was about to save her but he halted when he saw Aizen who was running to her direction. He was stopped by the determination of his friend to save someone.

Aizen pulled Serena and summoned Night to stop the time of the black hole. Gaea laughed while watching the demigods.

Serena's mouth felt dry, and right now her mind is messed up, "Serena," Aizen firmly said. Serena frustratingly shut her eyes. Tears began to stream down from her eyes, darkness began to fill her mind.

"We... We can't defeat a goddess," She murmured.

Those who heard her bitterly smiled, even her brother.

"Serena..." Aicelyn whispered. She wanted to caress her friend, she wanted to terminate the darkness inside Serena.

Aicelyn was so focused on her friend that she failed to notice the gaze of the woman she once cherished. Aicelyn's feet began to sink in the icy ground and was slowly being covered with mud.

Her eyes suddenly widened when she felt the tight grasp on her ankle. She winced. And when she looked behind, she saw Gaea's cunning smile along with her cold steel eyes.

No one was able to move when the ground began to tremble, the plum-colored spheres started to combine above Gaea. "I need you to feel my wrath," Gaea stated while looking at Aicelyn.

Skyler gritted his teeth, he moved his legs even if it was trembling with fear just to save Aicelyn.

Once again, Gaea laughed. "You won't make it, Lockser."

He knows. Skyler knows more than anyone that he won't be able to make it in time but he still wanted to try. He wanted to save her so he could drown together with her, so they could be caress by the soothing seawater.

Gaea waved her hand as she releases her biggest black hole towards Aicelyn. Sue covered her mouth, tears began to fall along with her knees.

The deafening silence was slowly killing them. Aicelyn languidly looked at the humungous black hole, she was ready to face death. But a single light glimmered in the darkness piling up in their surrounding, a sprout was slowly growing in front of Aicelyn.

A genuine smile of a knight was exposed.

Aicelyn's knight in black leather jacket has arrived.

"This is what I mean when I told you that you'll never hate me," Riley smiled.

The black hole was slowly sucking the tree, but it wasn't fading like the other spheres. "I used you. But the tables turn against me,"

"He—Hey, Riley! RUN!" Aicelyn screamed at the top of her lungs.

"I don't want you to leave your friends behind," Riley smiled.

"NO! Please... run..."

"I'm glad that I met you,"

"Please... Don't save me, don't waste your life for someone like me..."

Once again, Riley smiled, he slowly placed his forehead to the woman his heart was shouting. "You may not be my Juliet but you know..." Riley mumbled. His lips gently brush to Aicelyn's forehead. "Nevermind,"

Riley winced when he felt his body being pulled by the black hole, "Win," he said. And before he could be fully pulled by the hole, he used the last ounce of his magic to pull Aicelyn from the sinking ground.

She's a woman who doesn't show her emotions but this moment was too heartbreaking for her to pretend that she wasn't grieving, tears began to fall like an endless stream on her smooth, silky cheeks.

Aicelyn extended her hand to reach Riley but she failed when he was fully consumed by the black hole. She fell down on her knees, the deafening silence was broken by the loud weeping of the moon.

A sapling drop to the ground, but their attention was on the moon.

They watched the moon as its light was slowly fading.

They watched the moon as it met her downfall.
