Chapter 6: The Yaoguai Trio

The scene showed Wangzhou with his on his back.

He was staring at the mountains of the Eastern Regions, but he then heard footsteps.

He turned around and saw Fayemalice approaching him which prompted the Terracotta warrior to smirk.

Wangzhou: You came back for me.

Fayemalice smiled as she stopped right in her tracks.

Fayemalice: I did now let's get down to business, you know what Corruption can do for you? Evil takes over you and your power becomes infinite.

Wangzhou smiled sadisticaly as he clenched his fists.

Wangzhou: Yes, that's exactly what I want. It's exactly what the country needs.
Fayemalice: In exchange, you will join the Lord in his war and you will bring the entire Terracotta army with you.

Wangzhou raised an eyebrow.

Wangzhou: For how long? I have my own plans.
Fayemalice: For as long as your needed.

Wangzhou smirked.

Wangzhou: Kihaku is even weaker ever since you attacked, if I want to become Emperor of the Eastern Regions I need to act fast.

Fayemalice raised an eyebrow and crossed her arms.

Fayemalice: Why would I Corrupt you if you're not going to be of any use to the Lord?

Wangzhou turned around.

Wangzhou: Hmm...

He then turned to face Fayemalice again.

Wangzhou: Let's make a deal, you Corrupt not only me but you also Corrupt my future general and my master of books. Give us 1 day to conquer the Eastern Regions and then we'll go to war for your Lord.

He then raised a finger.

Wangzhou: Without an Emperor, the Terracotta army will only follow the senior member of the Council, it would be useless to try to gain control of the army.
Fayemalice: Fair point.

She then placed a hand on her hips.

Fayemalice: If by 1 day you don't come to the Lord's service you won't live to become Emperor.

She then pulled out her Corrupting Root.

Fayemalice: I CORRUPT YOU!!!

She hit Wangzhou with the Corrupting Root as he went through a new transformation.

The result was this.

Wangzhou looked at his hands and smiled evily.

Wangzhou: Yes! The power I longed for so long!

He then turned around.

Wangzhou: Kurai Kage and Jaakuna Hi! Come here!

He then fired some blasts from his hands that went nowhere.

He turned around to face Fayemalice as then 2 creatures appeared behind Wangzhou.

Fayemalice: I'll be back at sunrise.

She then turned around and left the scene.

The scene changed to Max and the others marching towards the Mundi Castle but suddenly Kaori froze right in her place and the others stopped to see what happened to her.

Max: Kaori, are you alright?
Mani: Is something wrong?

Kaori snapped out of her trance.

Kaori: I sense a disturbance back in my home, the Eastern Regions...
Max: A disturbance?
Kaori: We have to go and see what's happening over there.
Surge: What about Brock and the others at the castle?
Max: You guys go, me, Kaori and Mani will check what's wrong.
Lindworm: Do inform us of what is currently happening over there.

Surge nodded as he left with Bea and Jozef behind him.

Kaori: Come on, let's go.

Mani and Max nodded as they joined to Kaori to venture to the Eastern Regions.

"At the Mundi Castle"

The scene changed to the castle palace

Lady Meow and the others walked in and suddenly the new king of the castle got up from his throne.

This was how he looked like.

Crow: *Mumbles* Is that the king?
Kat-Herine: Yes, that's King Daeron, Iguanazar's successor to the throne.

Daeron wasn't ammused.

Daeron: Lady Meow inform me at once! You left the castle without my blessing and now you come back. What is the meaning of this?
Lady Meow: Your majesty we come back to inform you that we're in the brink of war against the so called Lord of Corruption.
Daeron: The Lord of what?
Brock: Corruption, my king. There's some dude that wants to enslave this planet and possibly the whole Universe.

Daeron then looked at Brock, Crow and Mortis.

Daeron: And who are these hooligans? They don't seem to be from here.
Crow: Who do you think you're-

Kat-Herine placed a hand over his mouth to keep him quiet.

Kat-Herine: My apologies your majesty, these 3 are our friends from a planet called Earth and there's more of them as they are helping us fight off the Lord.
Daeron: I see...

Mortis then approached Daeron and kneeled to him.

Mortis: Your highness, I'm Mortis, a fellow pure monster that wishes to help you and your kingdom fight off the expected attack of the Corrupted monsters. But all we from Earth require is your trust, afrer all we did find this...

He then pulled out the Lord's last relic, his sword.

Mortis: Without our help then your kingdom could fall to pieces.
Daeron: I admire your guts to approach and show me respect Earthling, I guess I could trust you and your friends.
Mortis: Thank you your majesty.

Crow sarcastically clapped.

Crow: Wow, you're such a show stealer Mortis.

Ferrata smacked Crow's head.

Crow: Oww...
Ferrata: Show some respect, at least act properly like how Mortis did.

Daeron then eyed everyone.

Daeron: Kat-Herine and Lady Meow you know the castle all around, would you show our new guests their bedrooms?
Kat-Herine: Of course your majesty.

She turned to the others.

Kat-Herine: Come on, follow us.

She began walking out of the throne room and the others followed.

Kat-Herine: Crow come with me to show your room.
Brock: I'll show yours Brock.
Ferrata: I may not know this castle but I'll happily try to find your room Mortis.
Mortis: That would be delightful.

They then split up.

The scene changed to Crow and Kat-Herine.

Crow was resting his palms on the back of his head as he followed Kat-Herine.

Kat-Herine: What were you thinking? With that kind of behavior the king could have a disliking to you.
Crow: Hey, I'm just myself. Besides I don't like being bossed around by some nobody, I only follow Max and only because I want to.
Kat-Herine: That's not the point, it's just he has an army and he could command it to slay you if you say a bad word to him.

Crow smirked.

Crow: Geez, remind me not to shit on his crown the next time I say something.

Kat-Herine turned around to face him.

Kat-Herine: Languange young man, languange!
Crow: Like what are you gonna do about it, kitty cat.

He smiled which angered Kat-Herine. She then grabbed his beak and began pulling.

Crow: Hey, let go!
Kat-Herine: To your room!

The scene changed to Wangzhou who was wandering around the Eastern Regions.

He was then spotted by Qin and Qinling.

Qinling: Look Qin, there's the traitor and he even looks like 1 too.

Wangzhou approached them.

Qin: How could you let darkness completely take over your Wangzhou?
Wangzhou: I wasn't made to blend in, I'm destined for greatness.
Qinling: You keep using your element as an excuse not to blend in.

He pointed at himself.

Qingling: Look at me, I'm diffrent too but I at least bring honor to my fellow warriors.

Wangzhou chorted and then cackled menacingly.

Wangzhou: When I look at you I don't see honor, I see mediocrity.

He then raised his hands in the air.

Wangzhou: But when I rule and command this army, you won't be mediocre anymore... You'll be feared...
Qin: We were made to protect, not to inspire fear.
Qingling: And without an Emperor, we'll only serve the Council.

Wangzhou then gave the 2 warriors a numb look.

Wangzhou: Only while Kihaku is the head of the Council.

He then fired blue energy blasts at both Qin and Qingling and they were hit as they fell to the ground.

Suddenly more Terracotta soldiers approached Wangzhou as they eyed the situation.

They knew that he wasn't himself anymore so they attacked him but he didn't hold back and counter attacked as well.

The scene changed to Mortis and Ferrata as they were walking in a hallway.

Ferrata: Geez I wonder which one of these doors is a room for you to rest in.

Mortis turned to face her while walking.

Mortis: What are you so afraid of Ferrata?
Ferrata: Well we could open a door to someone who already occupies a room and then lash out on us.

Mortis ignored her and used his night vision to see what's inside every room.

Mortis: No need, I already have night vision and I spotted an empty bedroom that I can reside in now.
Ferrata: Oh, I forgot you can do that since you're a vampire.
Mortis: I know.

They then chuckled.

Mortis: You remind me so much about her...

Ferrata turned to face Mortis.

Ferrata: Who?
Mortis: The green eyes... The clumsiness... The bubbly personality...

He then stopped as his face was shadowed.

Mortis:... My late wife... You remind me so much about her in general...
Ferrata: You were married before?
Mortis: Yes, she was the person I could dream off... But sadly, death did do us apart...

He then raised a hand.

Mortis: She's resting in Heaven...

Then he raised his other one.

Mortis: And I'm a lonely immortal creature of the night forced to spend an eternity without her...

Ferrata placed a palm over his left shoulder.

Ferrata: Don't say that, there are second chances in life and I think that there's someone for you there in the future, you just have to look harder for it.

Mortis turned to eye the cat.

Ferrata: I may not know you a lot and you don't know me as well, but know that I'll always have your back.

Mortis smiled.

Mortis: Thank you Ferrata, your words warmed my heart.
Ferrata: Happy to help.
Mortis: You don't mind sharing my room, do you?

Ferrata blushed.

Ferrata: Nah I don't mind at all.

The scene changed Surge, Bea and Jozef as they were still venturing to the Mundi castle.

Bea: How much farther till we get there?
Surge: I don't know dudes but we better get going.

Suddenly Jozef overheard a conversation.

Wings: I heard something guys.
Jozef: Me too, I can hear people talking.

Bea and Surge stopped.

Surge: Where?

Jozef pointed at the direction.

They went to where the conversation came from and took a peek.

There they saw Dark-Er, Mouseron, Neurofunk, Rudechaw and Gartox as they had other monsters with then standing in a line.

Mouseron: Is this all we could find guys?
Gartox: I guess, there weren't many candidates found to be Corrupted sadly.
Rudechaw: One of them is a fanboy of the Lord.

Then one of the chosen Corrupted monsters that looked like this retaliated.

Skelektron: Hey! Watch your mouth you naked mole rat!
Gartox: Yeah, shur your flip flopping mouth you moron!

He smacked Rudechaw's head as he yelped in pain.

Jozef: It seems like they're gathering more followers for the Lord.
Bea: This is getting scary.
Surge: Ewww guys look at that one.

He pointed at a Corrupted monster that looked like this.

Neurofunk then walked back to back in front of the "chosen" servants.

Neurofunk: Fellow Corrupted monsters, you have been chosen to fight to for the Lord-
Dark-Er: OUR Lord.

Neurofunk looked at Dark-Er who was smirking.

Neurofunk: As I was saying, you will fight for our Lord as he wants his final relic brought to him. With the relic being brought to him, the chances of us rulling the Universe will go up to a 100%!

Then one of the servants stepped up as he looked like this.

Fungheratops: Me and Urtikus are from the swamp, our loyalty lies to Wickah but since we got our powers enhanced thanks to you we will follow your Lord as well.

Urtikus then raised his blade.

Urtikus: Yes!

The other followers cheered on.

Skelektron: For the Lord!
Neurofunk: Then I think it's settled. We head back with the Lord's newest recruits and then head on to attack thr Mundi castle.

Gartox cracked his knuckles.

Gartox: Hehe, can't wait to get revenge on those royal scums that exiled me.
Rudechaw: I can't wait to devour flesh again!
Mouseron: Let us head back then.

They then left the scene.

Surge: We gotta tell the others about this.

They then began running for the castle.

The scene changed to Brock and Lady Meow who were walking around a hallway.

Lady Meow: So Brock, what do you think of the castle so far?
Brock: It seems very rich and big, but riches don't matter in my eyes.
Lady Meow: You think that too?

Brock turned to face Meow.

Brock: Yeah, it's the person's worth that matters as well for who and what they are.

Lady Meow smiled as she looked away for a moment.

Lady Meow: I had the exact same vision as you.
Brock: Yeah, we have a lot of things in common to be honest.

He then placed his elbow on a door handle and suddenly the door opened and he fell off and landed on the ground.

Meow laughed as Brock got up and dusted himself.

Brock: Very funny, but hey I found a room.
Lady Meow: That's my room you dummy.

Brock blushed madly.

Brock: I'm sorry.
Lady Meow: It's fine, wе can share it.
Brock: Are you sure, I don't wanna make you uncomfotable.
Lady Meow: It's fine, I've been with men of all sorts and I got used to their behavior, in fact I act as a tomboy myself at times.
Brock: Ah ok.

The scene changed to Wangzhou who was in the middle of nowhere with Kurai Kage and Jaakuna Hi.

Jaakuna Hi: You're very close to power Wangzhou, but we need to be discreet. Attacking your fellow warriors will make the people turn against you.

He then pointed at a tunnel that lead to underground.

Jaakuna Hi: Let's take the underground tunnel to the dojo and avoid the rest of the army for the moment.

Wangzhou was a bit annoyed.

Wangzhou: And do you think I care about the people or the warriors?
Kurai: We're ready to take the region without anyone's aprooval!

Jaakuna facepalmed.

Jaakuna Hi: We are in no need of supporters no, but if you want your empire to last you need less fury and more of a clear mind. I know the way history works and you recruited me to counsel you not to tell you what you want to hear.
Wangzhou: Alright, no more attacking Terracotta warriors at the moment.

Kurai Kage was a bit displeased.

Kurai: What about my sickles, they're thirsty for blood.
Wangzhou: Their time will come.

They then head inside the underground tunnels.

The scene changed to Max, Mani and Kaori who arrived to the Councilc's dojo where they met Kihaku.

Kihaku: Kaori, what's going on?
Kaori: Kihaku, I sensed a great danger coming in the Eastern Regions.
Kihaku: Come to think of it, some of the Terracotta soldiers reported that they were attacked by Wangzhou.
Max: Who?
Lindworm: Wangzhou, I know him. He used to work for me until he decided to turn traitor for his selfish needs.
Mani: You have a lot of sworn enemies master.

Kaori grit her teeth.

Kaori: I knew that one day that traitor would sell us out!

They heard people screaming outside the dojo and they ran out to see that the houses around them were set on fire.

They the saw Wangzhou, Kurai Kage and Jaakuna Hi approach them.

Kurai: Where's Kihaku?
Wangzhou: He should be here any moment.
Jaakuna: There he is.

He pointed at Kihaku and the heroes as they approached them.

Wangzhou: Kihaku, your authority ends here, surrender the Eastern Regions to me as I will become it's Emperor!

Kihaku was about to say something butnwas cut off by Kaori who stepped forward.

Kaori: He's not alone! We're here to protect the dojo.

Then Max and Mani followed her behind.

Kurai Kage couldn't help but laugh at the sight.

Kurai: Look at them, they don't know that they're gonna be playing with the big boys now.
Mani: You're the one to talk for someone who's short.

Wangzhou pointed at the heroes.

Wangzhou: You're nothing. The Emperor's Room has been closed for centuries ever since the last Emperor died, but it's door will open for me today and Kihaku's authority will be as null as of today!
Max: Bring it on!

Then both sides began clashing.

Max fought against Kurai Kage who swinged his sickles at the hero but she dodged them and fired her laser shots from her bracelet.

Jaakuna Hi fired burning darts at Mani who used his athletic body to dodge the shots.

Mani: Klaatu!

He fired a green orb at Jaakuna who used his staff to cast a red shield that protected himself.

Kaori swinged her sword at Wangzhou who dodge it and then tried to uppercut the female samurai.

Kaori dodged the attack and then kicked Wangzhou's face and then jumped to slice him in half but he caught the sword.

Wangzhou: You think you can harm the Emperor of the Eastern Regions, you fake samurai girl?!

He then tossed Kaori across the battlefield.

Mani: Kaori!
Lindworm: Mani Pulate look out!

He turned around to see Jaakuna Hi who swinged his staff at Mani's face and hit the hero.

Max: Guys!

Kurai Kage tripped her and then pinned her to the ground.

Kurai: Make a move and I'll slice your throat.
Max: Go to Hell!

Wangzhou approached Kihaku who was calm.

Wangzhou: Surrender the Eastern Regions to me Kihaku, we already have disposed of your ridicilous defense.
Kihaku: I will never surrender this land to you Wangzhou.

Wangzhou smirked and laughed.

Wangzhou: Oh yeah, you and what army? Oh I forgot, the army that I will control after your demise!

He then blasted Kihaku with a blue blast and he slowly began disappearing.

Kaori: Kihaku!
Kihaku: One day Wangzhou... Your arrogance is going to cost you...

He then disappeared in thin air.

Wangzhou cackled, but soon in turned into a maniacal laugh.

Wangzhou: I won! I won!

He continued laughing as he then fell to the ground on his knees.

Wangzhou: The Eastern Regions are now all mine!

Kaori got up and kneed Kurai with a knee and helped Max get up.

Kaori: They are never yours and never will be!

Wangzhou turned to face her.

Wangzhou: Your struggle is useless, I'm inevitable!

Max helped Mani get up.

Lindworm: Wangzhou, your thirst for power will never end will it?
Wangzhou: It never will, my reign as Emperor only just began.
Kaori: We'll be back to dethrone you one day!

The heroes then fled to safety.

Kurai Kage got up as he cracked his neck and went to his Emperor's side.

Jaakuna stood by Wangzhou's side who continued laughing as he won and got what he wanted.

OK guys, this was chapter 6.

Peace out!
