After the events of yesterday's brawl at the Grand Canyon.

The group were back in their base.

Mani: Master how do we get you out?
Lindworm: I do not know, somehow I cannot use my powers as how Nahane stated.
Jozef: How about we use some of my technology?
Crow: Bro this is magic and there's no chance in Hell that you inventions can't save Lindworm's ass.

Kaori was distraught after she saw how her mentor Roost Wayne sacrificed his life to save Lindworm from Nahane's grasps.

Kaori: I can't believe Roost died....

The others knew she was devastated from the events.

Mortis: May he rest in peace, may the Heavens accept him for all the good he did his entire life.
Brock: Bro are you in a church or something?
Max: Roost's noble sacrifice won't be in vain...

She then gave everyone a glare.

Max: This just gave us more reason to kick the Ordo Drakkonis' asses.
Bea: We're had it with them, can't they just buzz off?
Lindworm: Only time shall tell, that will be the only thing I say.

"At the Ordo Drakkonis' side"

The group sat in their chairs as they circled a table.

Nahane: Ordo Drakkonis we've failed to vanquish Lindworm, but I my next plan will surely gurantee to make up for it.
Dratis: And how will we do that mistress.

Execumancer grunted at Dratis' clumsiness.

Execumancer: Ugh, Vishamah weakened the piece of shit by trapping him within an orb and he can't use his powers. Think Dratis, think!

Dratis felt out of place.

Vishamah: Calm yourself Execumancer.
Zeighar: Question, can he like free himself?

Vishamah smirked.

Vishamah: He can't, he needs a specific spell to say in order to be freed and I am the only one that knows it.
Dielab: And I bet you won't be telling it am I right?
Vishamah: Of course I won't, the tyrant deserves his inprisonment.
Execumancer: But I want him to suffer...
Nahane: I agree with Execumancer, Lindworm will die and we all know that.

They all nodded in agreement.

Draghar: So what's the plan Nahane?
Nahane: There is an amulet where it grants the host infinite power, I can use it and then destroy Lindworm along with his gang. Happy ending!
Zeighar: And then what?
Execumancer: We take over the fucking Universe?
Dielab: I vote for that.
Nahane: Patience everyone, there are a lot of opportunities.

Dratis raised a hand/blade.

Dratis: Where is the amulet found?
Nahane: Back at Galaxar-K94 and luckily since Lindworm isn't leader we can return back there like nothing happened.

Vishamah then got up from his seat.

Execumancer: Where are you going?
Vishamah: To pack up, I suggest you all do the same since we are heading to Galaxar-K94 aren't we?

He then left the room.

Vishamah: *Mumbles* We shall leave but first I need to do something...

"At the hero's lair"

Everyone were doing their usual things.

Jozef was trying to come up with a way to free Lindworm with the help of Mortis.

Mortis: For the 33th time Jozef, technology can't free Lindworm. It has to be with magic.
Jozef: How can you be sure about it?
Lindworm: Mortis has a point, there is only one spell to free me from this inprisonment but it is unknown to what it is.
Mortis: I will research every spell book I find to see the spell and I shall free you from it.
Wings: Okay genius where do we begin.
Mortis: I don't fucking know!

Lindworm placed a palm on his forehead.

Lindworm: Arguments will not lead us to success you dolts...

Crow was with Surge, Brock and Bea in the lounge room.

Crow: Yo, I have been wondering after this whole Drakkonis fiasco ends what will it be next for us?
Surge: I don't know bro, maybe another bad guy who's literally more power than Nahane and Lindworm appears out of nowhere and tries to take over the Universe or something.
Bea: Haha, don't jinx it Surge.

They laughed, except for Brock who was in a thought.

Crow: Hey Brock, you're all eerie quiet all of a sudden. Anything wrong?
Brock: I've been thinking about something...
Bea: What is it?
Brock: You know if I tell it to you guys you gonna sound "Oh that's cheesy" or "Dude he's just bluffing and I shouldn't overreact or something"

Surge shook his head in a no.

Surge: No bro, we're here for you, we're in this together and we will all go through it, it's what friends do.

Brock warmly smiled at them.

Surge: So come on, just tell us.
Brock: Alright alright, don't get all pissed or something.

Brock sighed.

Brock: It's about my dad who disappeared when I was young. I never heard from him or anything but today's battle against the Drakkonis... Vishamah said that he knew my dad... Perhaps he knows if he's alive or something... I gotta know!
Bea: He's obviously trying to trick you.
Surge: I wouldn't trust Vishamah if I were you, he's too shady.

Crow looked at Bea and Surge.

Crow: I'd say the guy is just lying or something, but I think he's right.
Bea/Surge: What?!
Crow: Vishamah clearly knows things we all don't know.

He then nodded his shoulders.

Crow: Who knows? He might even keep secrets from his loser crew or something to proof that the guy is something that I wouldn't mess. No wonder Lindworm hates him.
Brock: Thanks for believing me Crow.
Crow: No problem, plus I think we can make him spill the beans and tell us where your dad is and how is he.
Brock: I hope so.
Bea: Let's just hope master Lindworm tells us what their next move is.

The scene then changed to Kaori who was in her bedroom.

She was kneeling on the ground and had her elbows on the edge of her bed with her hands on her forehead and eyes closed.

She was praying.

Mani spotted her and approached her room.

Mani: Hey Kaori.

She snapped back to reality and turned to eye Mani Pulate.

Kaori: Yes?
Mani: I've noticed how you were feeling when Roost died back at the Grand Canyon. Even I was pissed after what happened to him.

Kaori sighed.

Kaori: I know... It's just hard to be around without your family nor someone that was close to you. Roost was like my teacher after my family disowned me after they found out that I wanted to be a samurai.

Mani kept listening.

Kaori: Roost found me and took me from the streets and raised me like I was his own kin. He trained me and taught me all his techniques and skills of fighting and I went to samurai school because of him. And to see the person, the mentor and saviour of your life fade away like dust is too much to handle.

Mani felt bad for her.

Mani: Hey look, I know how it's like to feel hopeless.

She looked at him.

Mani: I mean look at me, I felt hopeless after Execumancer tormented me from days end but Mortis helped me out of my trauma and I became a better person.

He then offered a hand for Kaori.

Mani: I may not be Roost Wayne or any teacher from your past, but I assure you that I can help you out a lot if you can just trust me.

Kaori was silent.

Mani: I know it's hard to trust someone after knowing them for a short period of time. I had the same thing with Mortis but he was a person with truly good intentions and didn't want to see me like this. I used to be evil but I changed for the better after master Lindworm, Jozef and Bea agreed to do it after we came to terms with Max and her team.

Mani then placed a hand on her left shoulder.

Mani: I used to be a bad guy and I was crazy and always overconfident, but look where my over confidence cost me... My life and that's twice in a row... But in this new human form it was like I was granted a 3rd chance in life. I breathed fresh air and I learn that confidence isn't always needed, it's who you truly are that is really needed. So I am asking you this once... Do you trust me...?

Kaori was silent, but then she hugged Mani and he was blushing.

Kaori: I... I trust you...
Mani: Good...

He hugged her back.

The scene then changed to Max who was outside, in the back side of the tower as she stared at Bo's grave.

Max: Bo... It's been a while hasn't it...

There was just dead silence.

Max: I know and I miss you too... It's just hard without someone's shoulder you need to cry on. You were always there but when you died it was like death did us apart...

Still silence.

Max: I still know that one day you will come back from ground and we can be happy like we were before... Afrer all I was the one who taught you everything you needed to know and you said you wanted to be a hero just like me, Surge and the others....

Still silence.

Max: I know what you were gonna say to me if you were still here... Things change... And you think I don't know that... Of course I do since you taught me that... Anyways me and the others will do everything we can to vanquish the Ordo Drakkonis... They did enough damage to us and I was hoping you would give me the strenght to take them down...

She looked at the grave and shed a tear.

Max: I'll see you tomorrow...

She left back inside the tower.

What she didn't know was that above the sky Vishamah saw everything.

Vishamah: Interesting...

"Nighttime"

Everyone were asleep.

It seemed eerie and quiet around the tower.

Suddenly a bright light shined at Max's bedroom window.

She woke up to it and saw how shiny it was and it blinded her.

Behind the light there was Vishamah.

Vishamah: Max...
Max: Who's there?
Vishamah: It's not important... I can help you bring Bo back from the dirt.
Max: Wait really?
Vishamah: Yes... But I need you to do me a favour... Bring me Lindworm...

Max who still wasn't fully conscious she got out of her room and went to Jozef's lab.

She found Jozef still asleep with his wings' eyes closed.

There she saw Lindworm who was in the orb as he too was asleep.

She went to grab the orb and took Lindworm away.

Lindworm woke up.

Lindworm: Max? Where are you taking me?
Max: Somewhere...

She then went outside the backyard and saw Vishamah.

Max: Vishamah!
Vishamah: Yes Max, thank you for bringing me Lindworm.
Lindworm: What is the meaning of this?

Vishamah then casted a forcefield that trapped the two.

Vishamah: I wanted to talk with you about something.
Max: What now? Can't you just leave me alone?!
Vishamah: I saw how you were suffering after losing Bo... He must've been very special to you...

Max grit her teeth.

Max: Don't you mention his name...
Vishamah: I saw the delightful conversation you 2 had, it was like I saw Bo in his spirit form and he was communicating with you.
Lindworm: Vishamah I would advice you not to play with her.
Vishamah: And I was thinking, I would like to help you by reuniting you with Bo as I can ressurect him from the dead.

Max was surprised.

Max: Wait you can do that?
Vishamah: Yes, I was known as the bishop of rebirth until I was expelled due to the use of black magic. I can help you ressurect Bo but you have to give me Lindworm.

Lindworm looked at Max.

Lindworm: Max do not listen to him!
Vishamah: Stay out of this Lindworm! This is between us now. You are no longer a factor to us anymore.

He then turned to Max and offered his hand.

Vishamah: Max this is a chance for reunion, give me Lindworm and I will grant you this wish.

Max was tempting, she wanted to be with Bo once more but then again who knows what the Ordo Drakkonis would do to a already powerless Lindworm.

Lindworm: Max, Vishamah is not to be trusted. Do not and I repeat do not do this!
Vishamah: Do it! For the greater good!

Then suddenly Bo's grave who was within the forcefield was shaking and suddenly a blue spirit of Bo emerged from the ground.

Max: BO!

Vishamah turned around and was shocked.

Vishamah: I thought you were dead?!
Bo: There is no death, only a change of worlds.

He then imagined for a blue ghostly like bow and a bag filled with arrows behind him.

He then fired ghostly arrows at Vishamah who then rolled his staff to protect himself from them.

Max then looked at Bo's spirit who then moved from all sides trying to hit Vishamah.

Lindworm: Max I can sense that really is Bo's essence coming from the ground.
Max: Are you sure?

Lindworm nodded.

Max: I better help him.

Max then rushed to Vishamah and tackled him to the ground.

She began punching the dragon's face repeatedly.

Max: You fucking no good liar! Fuck you and everything you love!

She continued punching him repeatedly until Bo's spirit flew behind her.

Bo: Max, stop.

Max stopped and looked at the spirit of Bo.

Vishamah pushed her off.

Vishamah: You'll soon see how far I am willing to go for the Ordo Drakkonis to reign victorious! We shall meet again!

He disappeared.

Max then looked at Bo.

Bo: Max I know how much you miss me and believe when I say this, I miss you too.
Max: I know, I just wanna be with you now.
Bo: No, I don't want that. You are meant to live, this world needs you more than it needed me.

He then put his ghostly hand on her right shoulder.

Max: But-
Bo: No butts, you were destined for greatness and I can see that in you. Do me a favour and live out life to the fullest. That would make my soul happy.

Max was tearing up.

Lindworm felt sympathy for Max.

Spirit Bo hugged her.

Bo: There there, one day there might be a way for me to comeback and I promise you that we will be together.
Max: Forever?

Bo nodded as he smiled.

Bo: Take care Max.

His spirit then flew back to his grave and it disappeared

Max: You too Bo... You too...
Lindworm: Come on, there is a new day tomorrow.

Max nodded and took back Lindworm to the tower.

OK guys, this was chapter 18.

Peace out!
