After defeating Nahane and the Ordo Drakkonis, Max and co celebrated.

But suddenly they saw a huge green explosion that happened miles away.

The heroes now came out of a portal were on the docks, where they found their ship to chase the Drakkonis.

Crow: That explosion was massive, Lindworm since you know it all around can you tell the place?

Lindworm placed a finger on his chin.

Lindworm: Judging by the radius, I think it occured in Cardinal Forest.
Kaori: Come on, I know a way to the forest.

They then began marching towards the Cardinal Forest.

"Unknown"

A creature that looked like this was walking in a shadowy part of the Cardinal Forest.

As she was walking, she saw a pair of green eyes that came from a mysterious figure.

???: Fayemelina... The only one I can trust, I have a gift for you...

She came closer to the figure.

Fayemelina: I'm not deserving of it.
???: Come now, I know you struggle with the good inside you and I can help you with it.

He then raised his arms.

???: I CORRUPT YOU!

He then hit Fayemelina with a green blast and shs began transforming into a new form.

She looked like this.

The figure cackled.

The Lord: Welcome Faymalice. From now on you will serve me, the Lord.
Fayemalice: I'm at your service my lord. You stripped me from the morals inside me, I'm free!
The Lord: Good, now I need you to use your powers for me.

The Lord then gave Fayemalice a root with lutum around it.

The Lord: Take my gift that I now bestow to you, the Corrupting Root. It gives you unlimited source of lutum.
Fayemalice: Thank you my lord.

The Lord smirked.

The Lord: I sacrificed myself to end the Cosmic era that occured on this planet, but in the process I lost my relics. You have a job to liberate others such as yourself and retrieve my missing relics. The first relic is an amulet and it's located in the Eastern Regions. Now go!
Fayemalice: As you wish my lord.

She then left.

The scene changed to the heroes running in the Cardinal Forest.

Surge: Guys I see a crater over there.

He pointed a huge crater where smoke slowly came out of it.

They ran to the crater and below it they saw Iguanazar as he was unconscious.

Max: Iguanazar?!
Mortis: Iguanazar? Who's he?
Brock: An old friend of ours that we met back on Earth.

She then went inside the crater and helped him out of it.

Max: Iguanazar wake up. Jozef can you tell what's happening to him?

Jozef then examined Iguanazar.

Jozef: He seems to be out cold, he'll wake up shortly.

Iguanazar then opened his eyes.

Max: Iguanazar, you're awake!
Iguanazar: Max.. What are you and your gang doing here?
Mani: Long story short.
Lindworm: Can you explain to us what happened and what you were doing underneath this crater.

Iguanazar glared at the inprisoned Lindworm with a death glare.

He still didn't forgive him about taking his dad's life.

Iguanazar: I suppose I should tell you, afterall we're on the same side.

He then got up and raised his hammer.

Iguanazar: As I was travelling around the forest I saw some suspicious behavior from a mysterious figure. I saw the guy dig a huge hole, I ran to him and we fought. But in the end he jumped into the hole and I tried to follow him but from the hole it created a huge explosion that sent me sky high and I landed in the crater myself and the figure disappeared after the explosion.
Crow: Weird...
Brock: That's sus behavior I wonder where he went.
Max: I don't know but we have to find out on our own I guess.

Bea then noticed something.

Bea: Wait a minute I thought you were ruler of master Lindworm's planet?
Mani: Yeah what happened?
Iguanazar: I relinquished my title to a close friend of mine, I know it means a lot to be king but I wanna explore the world and maybe the whole Universe.
Lindworm: I am picking up signals of unknown energy coming from the Eastern Regions.

Kaori was shocked.

Kaori: Eastern Regions? That's my home!
Mani: Then we better go there.

They nodded and everyone left minus Iguanazar.

Iguanazar: Good luck!

The scene changed to Faymalice who was travelling to the Eastern Regions.

She passed the borders.

Fayemalice: I can sense the Lord's amulet close by.

As she continued walking, she encountered this figure.

The figure approached her.

Wangzhou: I'm Wangzhou, tell me what you seek.
Fayemalice: That's between me and my Lord.

Wangzhou crossed his arms.

Wangzhou: Well I guees you have to get pass me and my Terracotta friends first.

Then behind Wangzhou came out 2 other statues that looked like his kind.

Qingling: What do we have here?
Wangzhou: An intruder.
Qin: Then we shall dispose of her.

Then more Terracotta soldiers came out and surrounded Fayemalice while she smirked.

Fayemalice: Go ahead, do your worst.

The soldiers began attacking her.

Fayemalice dodged the attacks and pounced at a Terracotta warrior and severed it's head.

Then 2 more tried to tackle her but she grabbed their heads and smirked them together and broke them into pieces.

Wangzhou: Kill her!

He then casted silver magic at her while managed to reflect it back with her Corrupting Root.

Qingling created a barrier that protected him and Wangzhou.

Qin charged at her with his spear.

He tried to impale Faymalice but she grabbed the weapon and tripped the Terracotta warrior.

Qingling: Stay back beast!

He then threw purple magic at Fayemalice but it had no effect on her

She broke Qin's spear in half and grabbed the Terracotta warrior and tossed him at Qingling and they both crashed.

They got up and soon fled as the rest of the warriors followed, except for Wangzhou.

Wangzhou then slowly approached Fayemalice.

Wangzhou: Tell how you became this strong and I'll lower the defenses.

Faymalice smirked as she approached Wangzhou and was close to him only a small feet away from him.

Fayemalice: I've been Corrupted, The Lord stripped the kindness inside me and brought out the darkest part inside me.

She then took a better look at the Terracotta warrior.

Fayemalice: And we're both alike, I can see the evil flowing inside you. Let me pass and I'll come back to Corrupt you.

Wangzhou looked at Fayemalice and sighed.

Wangzhou: There's so much power wasting inside me, come back for me and I'll follow your lord too.

He then passed her and left the scene as Fayemalice watched on.

The scene changed to where the heroes entered the Eastern Regions.

They saw that multiple villaged screamed in fear.

Kaori: What's happening here?
Lindworm: There is something that is terrorizing the people of the Eastern Regions.
Mortis: Guys look.

He pointed at a black amulet that had the symbol of a skull on the ground.

Crow went to pick it up.

Crow: It's an amulet of some sort.
Kaori: Let me see.

She grabbed the amulet and examined it.

Kaori: I never seent his before.

Then suddenly a man that was riding a blue dragon appeared.

Kaori's eyes widened.

Kaori: Kihaku?
Kihaku: Kaori, it's been so long since I have seen you here back on Galaxar-K94. Who are your friends?
Kaori: These are my friends from Earth and I'm a hero and a part of their team.

She then turned to the gang.

Kaori: Guys, this is my friend Kihaku, he's the Senior member of the Council that is a democratic operational goverment of the Eastern Regions.
Max: Pleasure to meet you Mr Kihaku.
Mani: Same here.

Crow couldn't help but cackled.

Crow: We got Mr Miyagi here folks.

He laughed and Brock and Bea joined in but then Kihaku's dragon growled at them and they stopped.

Kihaku: Anyways what is that? An amulet?
Kaori: Yeah we found it here and-

A loud roar was heard from a far distance.

Fayemalice appeared.

Fayemalice: Where is the amulet?!
Surge: Did she just say amulet?
Mortis: Then maybe that's the amulet she was looking for.
Max: She looks evil, I don't like the sound of this...

Fayemalice continued to destroy houses which made Kihaku angry.

Kihaku: Give me the amulet.

He grabbed the amulet.

Kaori: Wait!

Kihaku approached Fayemalice.

Kihaku: Hey you!

Fayemalice looked at Kihaku.

Kihaku: I have your amulet, take it and leave these lands.
Brock: Hold on is this guy nuts?
Lindworm: That move he made was wrong.

Kaori was pissed off as she then went to where the two were.

Mani: Kaori wait!

Kaori was then between Kihaku and Fayemalice.

Kaori: Stop, I'm the one that found the amulet first and from my personal stand point, don't give it to her.
Faymalice: Get ouf of my way child, adults are talking.
Mani: Hey you ugly bitch, don't call Kaori a kid!

Fayemalice cackled at Kaori.

Fayemalice: Look at you, you're a disappointment in sight. A girl thinks that she could be a samurai, what a joke. And plus your friends are weaklings I sure hope that I can make them stronger via Corruption as they follow their new lord.

Max was puzzled.

Max's mind: Our new lord...?

Kaori then pulled out her sword and was ready to fight.

She was running at Fayemalice who pulled out the Corrupting Root.

Fayemalice: I CORRUPT YOU!

She hit Kaori with the root and smoke casted around her.

Everyone were shocked.

Mani: KAORI!!! NO!

He then ran to her.

Mortis: Mani, don't go near her!

He then ran after Mani.

Lindworm: Mani Pulate I command you to stop this instant!
Mani: Not when Kaori is safe.

Fayemalice then tried to strike Mani with the Corrupting Root but Mortis pushed his apprentice away and he took the bullet as he began transforming.

Max: Mortis!!!
Mani: Oh no! Not you too!

Then suddenly the smoke cleared and Mortis was diffrent.

His eyes were now a bit more green with black pupils rather than cyan eyes.

His skin was more paler and his body was a bit more muscular.

He had golden plates around his shoulders, knees and chest.

His sword was shinier and had a hint of gold around it.

The blue gem piece that was on his hat was now green and the chest armor had the same green gemstone as well.

Mortis: Huh... I feel diffrent...
Fayemalice: That's because you are Corrupted, let evil inside your soul!

Mortis looked at Fayemalice with a raised eyebrow look and laughed at her.

Mortis: Evil? No I feel like the need to kick your sorry ass for hurting my friends. Plus I never had evil intentions in my life.
Kaori: He's not wrong...

Then suddenly the smoke cleared from Kaori and she looked like this.

Kaori: Cause I feel the same way as him.

Everyone were shocked of how the 2 changed their appearances.

Lindworm: Unbelieveable, this is a new phemonemon.

Mani was nosebleeding after seeing Kaori.

Kaori: Now submit or we'll make you do it.
Fayemalice: You'll never take me alive!

She tried to attack Kaori but she dodged the attack Kaori slashed her arms with her sword, creating huge lashes in the process.

Mortis spinned his sword around and he dashed at Fayemalice and tackled her.

Mortis: Witness my power!

He then tried to impale his sword through the chest but Fayemalice avoided the weapon and shoved Mortis away.

She then used her Corrupting Root to snatch the amulet from Kihaku's grasps.

Fayemalice: I'd love to stay and fight you but I have more important things to do.

She then left.

Kihaku: This was a disaster.
Crow: Tell me about it.
Surge: But hey she's gone.

Mani got up and approached the group.

Mani: She managed to get the amulet.
Lindworm: I know that this won't be the last time that we will see her.

Then Mortis and Kaori approached them.

Mortis: I feel stronger than before I feel more pure than ever, it's like my bad side was stripped away from my skin.

Kaori took off her mask to show her entire face.

Mani was blushing as he looked away.

Kaori winked at him with a smile.

Max: She said something about a lord of hers, could he be the figure that fought with Iguanazar before the explosion happened?
Crow: I don't know, but te posibillities are endless.
Kihaku: Well I will leave you be because I have a council to run. I do hope you stop her though.

He left as the gang were now by themselves.

To be continued...

OK guys this was chapter 1.

Peace out!
