It's been a month ever since the quartet stopped MoC from completing her plan, I'm writing this to record the therapy session with the quartet and King Blixer. But my main concern is that Blixer haven't recovered much from whatever he experienced, Blixer won't even tell me what he gone through. I assumed the corrupteds really broke him, but he told me that he's having endless nightmares every night. The only shape he trust on telling was his suppose-to-be brother Ace. So I trust him to help Blixer recover.

Whenever anyone mentioned something near Blixer, he usually walks away or harshly told them to shut up. If Blixer can't recover from his trauma, I don't know what will happen to him...

-Milky Way

It was a peaceful day in Paradise Village, it's been 3 years ever since the corruption's defeat. The great treeangle have brought back those who were victims to Mother of Corruption. The shapes were setting up for the upcoming Zodian Festival, a special event to celebrate the Zodian Knights' services of keeping Paradise safe. Cube is looking through the clipboard, checking if everthing is set for his favorite time of the year. He enjoyed going to the Zodian Festival when he was a little shape, "Cube? What is all the set up?" he turned to see Ace. "Oh, we are setting up for the Zodian Festival! It's my favorite time of year to honor the Zodian Knights!" Cube seems excited from this. "Ace, can you go check on Blixer? It's 12:57, he should've be awake by now which is making me worried." Cube said, Ace nodded and walked over to Blixer's house. He knocked on it and waited, he waited for a solid 1 hour before opening.

What he saw was Blixer in a corner panicking and crying with his eyes closed, "Another one of his nightmares..." Ace shook Blixer awake and was immediately pulled into a hug.

"Still having nightmares?"

"Yea..."

"Was it the invasion or THAT incident again?"

"Both..."

"It's gonna be ok, it's all in the past now."

"B-But Jabber...Keygen....Born Survivor...everyone....It's all my fault..."

"It's not your fault, it's Mother of Corruption's fault for making you suffer."

Ace is taking the role as Blixer's brother, he accepted the role and goes with it. Blixer is crying on Ace's shoulder, "Blixer, Cube told me to check up on you. He was getting worried and wanting to check on you himself, but he's busy setting up the Zodian Festival." Blixer's crying slowly came to a halt. "Oh...I almost forgot it's in 3 days." Blixer always think shapes treating him out of pitty, but it's not like that at all. He just doesn't see it through yet. "Hey Blixer, how about you teach us how to use our Zodian powers and Sacred Weapons?" Blixer nodded and the two decided to meet up with the others.

"Alright you four, since you need to learn how to use your powers again. First we'll summon our Sacred Weapon, just focus on your energy and lead out your hand for it to form." Blixer demonstrated them on how to summon it and a longsword was formed. "Seems easy enough!" Vex said with confidence, he copied what Blixer did and a bow was form. "WOW! I get a bow!" Vex said excited, "My turn!" Lua raised her hand and a rapier formed. "Now I wanna try it!" Ryan made his arms into an X position and a pair of brass knuckle gauntlets formed, Ace is the only one that didn't summoned his weapon yet. Ace lead out his hand and a sword was formed, "Woah, we both have swords." Ace was mesmerized by it. "Now we got the basics of summoning our weapons, let's learn how to use your zodian powers. Ace, yours is Scorpio which is both attack and defence. Ryan, your zodian powers is based only on melee and energy. Vex, you are a mix of support and defence. And Lua, your powers only based on Rune Magic. Now, let me demonstrate to you. Capricorn power: Wind of Light!" Blixer swung his long sword and created a whirlwind. It hit a tree and the tree instantly cut into pieces, pretty sure the quartet have their jaws dropped at that sight. Now it their turn to try...

It's not going as planned, the quartet is having trouble controlling their powers. Lua summoned a rune but the power is too strong like her emotions, Vex tried out Archer's Mark which cause the arrow to aim at Vex and Blixer have to block it. Ryan was cocky enough to try Bullhouse Kick, that cost his leg to turn yellowish-gray immediately. Ryan tried getting up but fell back down, Ace haven't use one of his powers yet and he's nervous. Is he a pussy? No! He can do this! "Scorpio power: Chains of Slumber!" Ace waited for the chains to form.

But it suddenly burst out of control from his wrist(?), multiple chains formed and was trying to wrap around anyone near Ace. It even causing damage as the chains starts turning corrupted pink. Ace have no control and he's down right terrified to the core, "I-I can't control it..." he stuttered in fear.

"ACE! ACE!" Blixer cried out, "I CAN'T CONTROL IT! I'M SCARED! SOMEONE! HELP!" Blixer remembered the same thing that happened when he was young. "You three, try to prevent any damage while I get Cube!" they nodded and Blixer used Quick Step and ran to where Cube is at.

Cube was checking decorations until he was caught off guard by Blixer snatching him up and runs back to the incident. "Blixer, what are you-" "THIS IS AN EMERGENCY!!" Cube is confused, "What do you mean Emerge-" Cube then saw the situation happening. The Chains of Slumber is getting stronger the more Ace struggles, "SOMEBODY HELP ME!!!" Ace's siblings are trying to prevent it from damaging anything any further. Cube struggled free from Blixer's grip and flew to Ace, he grabbed Ace's hands and muttered something under his breath. The chains suddenly retracted and the light disappeared, the two was lowered to the ground. "C-Cube...I just....I can't...." Ace was still afraid, who knew Zodian Abilities can be hard to master like Scorpio's. "Blixer?" "This is pretty unusual, a zodian that can't control their own powers. But that's only one tho, what about the other?" Blixer said.

Ace mastered three out of four Zodian powers, Chains of Slumber is the hardest to control for Ace. "Maybe something is preventing Ace from fully controlling it?" "Maybe, Chains of Slumber and the user have to be cooperative. Ace, it won't cooperate if you keep denying that your half corrupted." Cube told Ace. "I-I can't! Not after what MoC did to me back then! She controlled me with those strings and...and....I'm scared if she's gonna make me her puppet!" Ace cried. This will be very difficult, "Let's all take a break then, we'll figure it out soon or later." Blixer headed back to Cube and his house.
