Blixer's not doing too good, his nightmares are getting worse. Ace told me what he told him, I was very shocked from the nightmares he have! I pray to the Great Treeangle to help him, Blixer still haven't accepted his burden from the past. From further analysis, cracks were forming if he's under pressured of reliving the past. It's similar to over-limiting Oni's Rage, but yet it's very painful mentally. I'll keep on writing the future process in our next session.

-Milky Ways

Earlier,
Lady Spinel was fixing and cleaning up the entrance to the Lost Cave after Blixer broke through the huge pink crystals. Just another day with the Monarch at the cave, then her head started to ring. Lady Spinel has fallen to her knees as Chronos appeared in her half corrupted form. "Chronos....You're the traitor...?" Chronos gave her a smirk before striking her finger at her head, "It's time to wake up Lost Monarch, MoC got a little task for you since you know where he is." corruption spread across Lady Spinel's body and she tranformed back into the Lost Monarch. "I assumed my pure form didn't take your reveal lightly?" "Lady Spinel was shocked when she first saw this appearance. If you want to keep being corrupted, then do these task for Mother of Corruption. She wants the process to speed up!"

Now,
"WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS!!!?? BRINGING HIM BACK WILL ONLY DESTROY PARADISE AND BRING THE BITCH BACK!!" Blixer yelled. "Hmm....I don't recall myself as a corrupted to be devoted to the Treeangle, you already know us corrupteds devote ourselves to Mother of Corruption. Her right hand shape told me to speed up the reviving process! HE IS THE VESSEL OF THE SON OF CORRUPTION!!! THE FIRST SACRED WEAPON WIELDER!!! Now let's continue to bring back the lord!" Spinel placed the head down in the middle of the triangle drawn with crystal powder. The powder glow bright pink as well as the head, Blixer looked at Ace, he knows what he's gonna do and Ace stepped back. "Wrath ability: Oni's Rage!" he changed to his Oni's Rage form, he summoned his longsword and shattered the barrier. Then he fell to his knee and coughed out pink blood a bit, Ace was gonna run to him but Blixer told him to stop Lady Spinel. Ace ran at Spinel but was stopped, his whole body can't move. That's when he knew Lady Spinel is pulling the strings, "You are just like Scorpio, being caught in my threads. Now I need no interruptions!" she began gesturing her hands to a sudden song. This song is so unfamiliar, it only grew louder and louder as the head was restored. A body was formed from the pink light, Lady Spinel grinned as she bow down to the corrupted shape. "It's good to have you back, my lord!" it's the Corrupted Gargoyle and Pure Corrupted Lord himself, Lord Shockwave...

"It's good to be back! I see the little informant gave you MoC's message. And what do we have here?" Shockwave walked up to Ace, "A half pure half corrupted sacred shape? This is very rare for a sacred shape to be born, unless this is Scorpio's reincarnation." he was about to grab Ace but Blixer swung his weapon between them while still in Oni's Rage form. "Huh? A corrupted protecting the reincarnate? Aren't you supposed to be on our side? Or maybe you are the King of Paradise that devoted himself to the Treeangle." Blixer grabbed Ace and threw him out of the cave. "WARN THE OTHERS! I'LL SLOW HIM DOWN!!" Ace nodded and sprinted to Paradise Village.

The festival is almost set up, Cube is excited for the Zodiac Festival to begin in 3 days. "CUBE!! CUBE!!" Cube immediately turned to seeing Ace running, "Ace? What's wrong?" then an explosion haopen and Blixer crashed down near the two. Blixer have cracks on his body and no longer in his Oni's Rage form. Then a blur of pink zoomed past and the blur is heading to the Treeangle, Cube sense a powerful corruption from that and immediately flew after. Ace ran after Cube as fast as he can, Shockwave saw Cube and dive kick him. Cube crashed into Ace, giving Shockwave more time to reach the Treeangle. "Cube!" "I'll be fine! Stop him from reaching the Treeangle!" Ace used his dash, but Shockwave beats him to it.

Shockwave bit the Treeangle, sapping all it's energy and it changed to corrupted pink. The Treeangle split into 3 pieces again and the land began turning corrupted. Then an orange rune circle appeared on the ground nex to Ace.

Then Ace's three siblings appeared from it, "I-I did it!" Lua said happily but her expression changed when she saw Shockwave sapping the energy. "Who the fuck is that!?" Vex yelled, "The vessel of the Pure Corrupted Lord, Shockwave the Corrupted Gargoyle..." Cube looked down right terrified. "I. AM. EMPOWERED!!!!!" Shockwave let out a roar, creating a shockwave of corruption to spread across. Cube created a shield around Ace and his siblings, the shockwave began corrupting shapes that got hit with it. But their corrupted forms are different, they looked more scary than what to think. "I haven't seen that mode for a long time..." Cube said, "Cube? Why are the corrupteds we faced looked different?" Ryan asked. "These are what we called them Hardcore Mode, the most terrifying and powerful evolution of corruption. It's similar to pure corruption but a tad bit weaker." Cube explained. "Lua, can you use your rune magic?" Ace asked Lua, "I-I can try!" Lua focused the rest of her energy to create the Rune of Teleportation.

Shockwave, however, shattered the shield barrier with one shot of a beam. Shockwave was about to shoot another until Blixer with Quick Step charging at him. "WRATH ABILITY: ONI'S RAGE!!!!" Blixer changed again but still have the cracks, but he was caught by Shockwave. One look and Blixer was striken with fear, Shockwave have Oni's Rage too. "You are very interesting, you never give up and you're risking your life to save others. I got some plans for you..." Shockwave put his hand on Blixer's forehead. "CUBE WE GOT TO GO!!" "WHAT ABOUT BLIXER!?" Cube doesn't want to leave him, Blixer is more like a brother Cube never had. "JUST GO!!! DON'T WORRY ABOUT ME!! IT'S ALL ABOUT YOUR SAFETY!! I KEPT THAT AS A PROMISE TO EVERYONE-" then Blixer screamed in pain from an electrical shock. Lua created the Rune again and teleported the group, leaving Blixer with Shockwave. "Have a nice nap, I'll be dealing with you once you wake up." that's all what Blixer heard from the gargoyle shape before passing out. Then Shockwave used his powers to create a fortress around where the Treeangle once were.

This is the beginning of the end, for not all stories have happy endings....
