Chapter 40: Infinite Island

The next day...

Xaena: "O-Okay."

Xaena has arrived at the hospital with Cale to visit the other seven.

Cale: "I'm terrified."

They're head upstairs.

Xaena: "M-Me too."

They turn left.

Cale: "Th-They might try to kill me."

Xaena: "I won't let that happen."

They stand in front of a door labeled 2K.

Cale: "At least your people were willing to accept me."

They open the door to find that Owen is currently the only one awake, with Rox hugging his arm.

Owen: "Uh, this is awkward."

Owen looks at Xaena and Cale.

Owen: "You're not doctors, and what the hell is a Flora doing here?!"

Owen tosses his sword at Cale, but Xaena catches it.

Xaena: "We saved your lives."

Owen: "Huh?"

Xaena tosses the sword back.

Xaena: "You'd have lost not only your lives, but your number 8's life too."

Owen: "Number eight?"

Owen puts two and two together.

Owen: "Y-You're the last one?!"

Xaena's heart begins to race.

Xaena: "The Demi o-of Nervousness, Xaena is r-right here."

Cale is still getting over what just transpired.

Cale: "I just want to help."

Others begin to stir.

Thoris: "(dazed) What's going on?"

Owen: "Can we really trust you, uh..."

Cale: "C-Cale."

A green arrow flies towards Cale, but Xaena blocks it with a dagger.

Lariat: "How did you see that?"

Xaena: "(shaking) M-My abilities gave me foresight."

Rox is the last one to wake up.

Rox: "(yawning) That was a nice nap.

Owen: "(nose bleeding) Uh..."

Owen's arm is right..."

Rox: "Wh-What was I doing?!"

Veld: "Everything."

Rox quickly lets go.

Owen: "Wasn't me."

Rox still punches Owen in the face.

Makoh: "Y-You do realize that we're in a h-hospital."

Nyria: "We passed out in the desert and were evacuated here."

Lariat gathers his thoughts.

Lariat: "So we're finally complete."

???: "Yes."

Everyone's eyes except Cale's flash their respective colors and are completely immobile.

Cale: "Wh-What's going on?"

Cale is immobilized by fear.

Meanwhile...

Owen: "The platform..."

The eight are spiritually standing at the platform.

Feaquil: "The successors have been gathered."

Lariat: "So we're here as astral projections."

Bael: "Our power runs dry and we're using what little we can spare to give you all a message."

Thoris: "Lay it on us."

Jex: "In order for you all to keep the seal intact for a bit longer, we need to to physically be here."

Rox: "(confused) How? We only seem to come here spiritually."

Wosen: "That is the message."

Poxi: "We have opened the forbidden passage to bring you here."

Veld: "If it's forbidden, then why open it?"

Xeoin: "It's the only way."

Makoh: "O-Okay."

Floa: "It lies open on Infinite Island."

Nyria: "(thinking) That's really far down south, across the ocean."

Preio: "It was the only place where we could open it."

Xaena: "W-W-We'll head there the moment we can!"

They begin to fade.

All: "Perfect."

They're gone.

Meanwhile...

Soalious: "Too perfect. I almost want to feel sorry for those oblivious fools."

Soalious is smirking within his prison.

Meanwhile...

Rox: "(blinking) We're... back?"

Cale begins to move again.

Cale: "(relieved) What happened to you?"

Owen stands up with newfound confidence and strength.

Owen: "We're going to set sail towards Infinite Island."

Everyone except Thoris stands.

Thoris: "(groaning) We're going back to the boat?"

Nyria: "Just try to think positive."

Everyone begins to leave.

Cale: "I-I'm going too!"

Veld: "You're in charge of her Xaena."

Xaena: "O-Okay."

Lariat: "(in head) I still don't trust her."
