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."
