The scene changed to Wangzhou who was sitting on his throne and then suddenly he was approached by Kurai Kage.

Kurai: My emperor I have terrible news, there are some pure monsters out there that are trying to convince the people of the Eastern Regions that you're not their emperor.
Wangzhou: I bet it's the robot, vampire and insect, don't worry we'll let them tire out and then we shall crush them.
Kurai:  I also have heard the news that Lord Nebotus is on his way to the Eastern Regions.
Wangzhou: Gah, when I at least needed him. He can't see our weaknesses.

Then Raijin appeared.

Raijin: If I were you I'd do something.
Wangzhou: Jaakuna Hi told me to summon the spirit of Chi Ao Loong as a way to help me keep my position of the throne. Kurai Kage go and bring me Dark-Uma, we'll use his powers to invoke the dragon's spirit.

Kurai Kage nodded and left the room.

Raijin: Could there be a mother way to get rid of Nebotus?
Wangzhou: I don't know but this might be our best shot to help me secure the throne for this world. After this whole Purity dies out I'm cutting ties with him.

Then suddenly Kurai Kage came back as behind him came this monster.

Wangzhou: Dark-Uma, can you feel the dragon's presence?
Dark-Uma: Yes my emperor.
Wangzhou: Then you know what to do.

Dark-Uma's eyes glowed purple and so did his hands.

He then smacked the ground with his fists and a pentagram was formed while it glowed purple.

Dark-Uma began chanting as then a loud roar can be heard and Chi Ao Loong was now summoned.

Wangzhou smiled wickedly.

Wangzhou: Chi Ao Loong, welcome to the Emperor's Room. We require your all mighty presence.

He then raised his hands.

Wangzhou: There's an oposition that's trying to destroy our great nation, we must do everything in our power to stop it!

Chi Ao Loong looked at Wangzhou and nodded.

Chi Ao Loong: I'm the great protector of our nation, I won't allow anything bad to happen when I'm around...

The scene changed to Surge, Mortis and Bea who were gathering crowds of people around the Eastern Regions.

Surge: You guys are sure about Iguanazar's idea of calling out these people to rise against their emperor?
Mortis: Yes, it's the only way we can be save Max and the others.

Bea turned to Mortis.

Bea: Where did Iguanazar and Steamwrath head off to?
Mortis: To meet up with Lady Meow and the others.

The scene changed to Iguanazar and Steamwrath who were running towards the spot where Lady Meow told them to meet up.

Iguanazar: We better hurry up or we won't have much time.
Steamwrath: Yeah, Lord Nebotus is gonna enter the Eastern Regions as soon as possible.

Chi Ao Loong was flying in the air as he saw the people that rose up against Wangzhou.

His roar made almost everyone flee, except for the heroes.

Mortis: Wangzhou is such a coward to face us so he sent one of his servants to do the job for him.
Surge: Let's get ready to fight dudes.

The dragon flew down and eyed the 3 heroes.

Chi Ao Loong: You 3, get out of this place.
Bea: Or what?

Chi Ao Loong then breathed red fire at Bea but Surge blocked the attack with his arm.

Mortis: Look we didn't come here to fight you dragon, we came here to liberate the people of the Eastern Regions because your emperor has our friends locked up in prison cells.
Chi Ao Loong: And what does that have to do with you trespassing in my nation's territory?

Mortis raised his hands.

Mortis: Wangzhou is not an emperor, he just wants to enslave the people of not just the Eastern Regions but the entire planet of Galaxar-K94. The people don't want him as a ruler and tell me, would you attack your own kin if ordered by that tyrant?

Chi Ao Loong was silent, but then he flew off.

Bea: Wow, you totally shut him up.
Surge: I don't know how you do it Mortis but you always find a way to save us from destruction.

He placed his palm on Mortis' shoulder who smiled at the response he got from his friends.

Chi Ao Loong flew back to the Emperor's Room to see Wangzhou outside.

He landed on the ground.

Chi Ao Loong: Yaoguai Wangzhou, you lied to me! The people that have started the opposition are the sons and daughters of our nation. They're not our enemies, they're only your enemies.

Wangzhou turned to face the dragon.

Wangzhou: I am the nation and they are the nations enemies, and those rebels need to be eliminated since we have much in our plates plus our common enemy is coming towards our nation.

Wangzhou clenched his hands.

Wangzhou: When he arrives he will demand our alleigance to him, in other words we have to serve him. Is that what you want Chi Ao Loong? Our nation to be ruled by an outsider?
Chi Ao Loong: Do not imply such a thing!

He then approached Wangzhou.

Chi Ao Loong: I will help you get rid of our common enemy but what happens to the rebels will be decided by the people of the Eastern Regions. I also serve the people and the nation, not only it's emperor.
Wangzhou: Right.

He turned around.

Wangzhou: You 3.

Then Kurai Kage, Gartox and Rudechaw approached him.

Kurai: Yes emperor?
Gartox: What do you want?
Wangzhou: I want you 3 to go and fetch me the robot, the vampire and the bug.
Rudechaw: Sure we'll get it done.

Chi Ao Loong then flew up.

Chi Ao Loong: I'll go and scan the area from above, get the rebels and put them in a safer place.

He left.

The scene changed to Surge, Mortis and Bea approaching the prison where the others are locked.

Surge: There's the prison.

He tried to open the door but it was locked.

Surge: Crap it's locked.
Mortis: Try punching it down.

Surge tried to punch it but it was so hard cause it was purely made out of metal.

Bea: Damn it, we'll never get inside.

Kaori heard their voices.

Kaori: Hey guys, is that you?
Mortis: Kaori? Yes it's us, we're trying to get in and free you.
Mani: That's great, have you tried opening the door?
Mortis: It's locked and inpenetreble.
Max: Well destroy the walls and get in.

Mortis nodded to Surge who prepared his fist to punch the way but suddenly his hand was grabbed by Gartox and he slammed Surge into the door and broke it.

Bea/Mortis: Surge!

Then Kurai Kage and Rudechaw ambushed the heroes from behind and handcuffed them.

Kurai: Boy you made this too easy for us!
Mortis: This isn't over you fiend, evil shall not prevail.

Gartox picked up Surge.

Gartox: Shut ya trap you moron, the Lord is approaching the Eastern Regions as we speak. The end for you is coming.

They then tossed the 3 inside cells and locked them.

Kurai then communicated with Wangzhou.

Kurai: My emperor we caught them and they're in cells now.
Wangzhou: Good.
Max: You won't get away with this.
Rudechaw: We actually did.

The scene changed back to Wangzhou as he saw Chi Ao Loong land on the ground.

Chi Ao Loong: The streets are clean now, are the prisoners safe?
Wangzhou: I have the vampire, the bug, the robot and the rest of the bunch in prison. I won't kill them for now, you have my word.

Wangzhou then turned to face the dragon.

Wangzhou: And now all we have to wait is Lord Nebotus to arrive here.
Chi Ao Loong: Is this Lord Nebotus our enemy?
Wangzhou: Yes.

Chi Ao Loong raised an eyebrow.

Chi Ao Loong: And what rights does he have on our land?
Wangzhou: I helped him regain his relics in exchange he Corrupted me and gave me the power to rule these lands. But in exchange we have to serve him.

Chi Ao Loong shook his head in disappointment.

Chi Ao Loong: You're a fool. You've let him take advantage of you and you put the Eastern Regions in danger all because of your little power trip.

He then approached Wangzhou.

Chi Ao Loong: And these rebels, are they his followers?
Wangzhou: No, they're his enemies. They call themselves the Pure as post to Corrupted monsters.
Chi Ao Loong: If they're his enemies then why don't we free them and have them fight by our side.

Wangzhou was angered.

Wangzhou: NO! They also want to end my Empire and reinstate the Council. I can't let that happen!

Chi Ao Loong was disappointed.

Chi Ao Loong: It seems you're the one that's chosen the wrong side, emperor. We'll get back to this later, right now let's greet our guest outside the walls, we don't want him in here.
Wangzhou: Fine but we're bringing the army just in case.

Lord Nebotus and his army appeared outside the Eastern Regions' walls.

Lord Nebotus: We made it my servants, now to wait for Yaoguai Wangzhou's presence.

The scene changed to Iguanazar and Steamwrath who made it to see Kat-Herine, Ferrata and Hardy there.

Iguanazar: There you guys are! Where is Lady Meow?
Kat-Herine: She went somewhere.

Then Lady Meow came back as she was followef by Valgar.

Lady Meow: There you are Iguanazar, Valgar told me the situation with the Lord.
Iguanazar: Yeah, as of now we can't let him walk around any longer.
Valgar: I tried to stop him but I couldn't... It wasn't my destiny... My destiny was to free you from thag coffin.
Iguanazar: Indeed it was.

He then turned to Lady Meow.

Iguanazar: Meow, I think it's time for me to step in and even the odds of this war.
Hardy: Hold on, you're waging war on Lord Nebotus?

Iguanazar nodded.

Steamwrath: But your life could be at risk.
Iguanazar: I don't care, we just have to stop him.
Hardy: If you're going then count me in on this too.
Ferrata: What about you Steamwrath?

She shook her head in a no.

Steamwrath: No, it's not necessary to purify me, I can be of help even if I'm not purified.
Lady Meow: Alright, may I do the honors?

Iguanazar nodded.

Iguanazar: You may.

He and Hardy stood still and they were hit by the Corrupting Root.

They then were now purified as they both had green amulets around their necks and had more golden plates around their bodies.

Hardy: Alright, I feel young and bold as I was back when we fought in the revolution.
Iguanazar: Indeed, now let's go and help free the others from the Eastern Regions.

The scene changed back to Lord Nebotus and his army.

They were approached by Wangzhou and Chi Ao Loong who were followed by Kurai Kage, Gartox, Rudechaw and the Terracotta army.

Wangzhou: Lord Nebotus, welcome.
Lord Nebotus: Hello Wangzhou, I have been expecting you. Also my army isn't feeling very welcomed by yours. Is something wrong? Aren't we allies.
Wangzhou: At this point why would you think that we were allies.

Gartox then stared at the Terracotta army who were eyeing the Lord and his army.

Gartox: What are you all looking at you palookas!
Rudechaw: Chill Gartox.

Then Chi Ao Loong stepped in.

Lord Nebotus smirked.

Lord Nebotus: And this dragon, it's Corrupted too. I see you're creating new servants for me and I'm thankful for that.
Chi Ao Loong: I only serve my nation, not you nor Wangzhou. My nation.

Lord Nebotus raised an eyebrow.

Lord Nebotus: Hmm, but do you serve the Pure monsters that are inside your nation?
Wangzhou: No one needs to worry about Pure monsters. They are locked away in prison cells.
Lord Nebotus: Good and it better be that way, and you better believe me you don't want to be an inconvinence to me Wangzhou.
Dark-Er: You tell him Lord Nebotus!

Then Chi Ao Loong approached Lord Nebotus.

Chi Ao Loong: You're the only inconvinence here, get out.
Lord Nebotus: No! I'm the Lord of Corruption, you are Corrupted monsters. You will obey me and pledge your allegiance to me.

Chi Ao Loong grit his teeth.

Chi Ao Loong: Get. Out...

Lord Nebotus looked at Wangzhou who was worried.

Lord Nebotus: Wangzhou, if I were you I would control that pet dragon of yours. If you don't then I will have to send my servants to do it for you.

He snapped his fingers and his Nebudemons began attacking.

Chi Ao Loong then began breathing at the Nebudemons and began burning some of them.

Wangzhou supported the dragon with his powers, followed by Kurai Kage and the army.

Gartox: So Wangzhou Turner traitor eh?
Rudechaw: What do we do now?
Gartox: Lord Nebotus gave us to this moron and we are now his servants, I guess we should help him too.

The two then went to fight Dark-Er and Fayemalice.

Fayemalice: How dare you turn on us after all we did for you 2?!
Gartox: It ain't our fault, Lord Nebotus sold us to Wangzhou and now we have to follow him.
Rudechaw: Yeah!

Raijin was above the air as he was fighting Neurofunk in a battle of thunders/telekenesis.

Neurofunk: Impressive, for someone as scroney as you, your powers are at 96% strong.
Raijin: Don't bore me with math you dumb mushroom!

He then casted a barrage of thunders while Neurofunk casted barrier of dirt to protect himself thanks to his telekenesis.

Chi Ao Loong and Wangzhou managed to fight off some of the Nebudemons while the Terracotta army were finishing off the rest.

They then approached Lord Nebotus.

Lord Nebotus: It's the emperor and his pet dragon again!
Chi Ao Loong: We managed to beat up half of your army I say it's best for you to leave.

Lord Nebotus laughed.

Lord Nebotus: I don't need my servants to do the dirty work for me, I could do it for myself. After all, I'm the Lord of Corruption.

Chi Ao Loong pointed his staff at Lord Nebotus.

Chi Ao Loong: And I am my nation!

He then charged at Lord Nebotus and tried to swing his staff at him.

Nebotus blocked it and he moved away.

The dragon casted fire at the Lord of Corruption but he blocked it with his left hand.

Chi Ao Loong: No matter how much you resist, you shall crack!

He then circled the Lord and then began constricting around Nebotus' body.

He began squeezing the entity, bur with unknown strenght Nebotus managed to break free of Chi Ao Loong.

He jumped to slice Chi Ao Loong, but the dragon blocked the attack with his staff and then shoved Nebotus away who perfectly landed on his feet.

Lord Nebotus then smirked.

Lord Nebotus: Chi Ao Loong if you say that you are your nation, then is your nation is strong as you think it is? Even for a millenial dragon, you still feel a bit tired.

He then turned to look at Wangzhou.

Lord Nebotus: And as for you Wangzhou, I'm starting to doubt that you would be my perfect delegate for me to rule this planet, whatever the diffrence is I just have to remove you all together.

He then turned around.

Lord Nebotus: I'll go back to my new planet, but I'll be sure to come back with the plans I have for Galaxar. I'll give you time to think if you want to rule this planet by my name or you'll be buried underneath it.

With the snap of a finger, he and his army teleported away.

Chi Ao Loong then turned to Wangzhou.

Chi Ao Loong: Now listen to me emperor, if we want Lord Nebotus out of our planet then we have to work together.

Wangzhou crossed his arms.

Wangzhou: We'll see great protector, what's your great plan to get the Lord of Corruption off our backs?
Chi Ao Loong: Let me think...

He then placed a finger on his chin and began having a thought of something the dragon had in mind.

Chi Ao Loong: You mentioned that the Pure monsters are his enemies, if we could free them this could go under our favour.

He then turned to face the Emperor.

Chi Ao Loong: If I were you Yaoguai Wangzhou, I would change my mind about inprisonment.

Wangzhou was silent.

To be continued...

OK guys, this was chapter 18.

Peace out!
