Chapter 42: Corruption
One week later...
Lariat: "We're not that far away from shore."
Infinite Island is within sight.
Thoris: "(groaning) Finally..."
Rox looks at Owen.
Rox: "(in head) I know."
Owen: "Uh... Rox?"
Rox blushes as she looks away.
Owen: "(in head) She's been doing that all week. What's going on?"
Veld: "We'd better get ready to dock."
Everyone gathers their weapons.
Nyria: "So it's almost here..."
Makoh: "L-Let's hope we don't have to do something as crazy as dying."
Cale: "I-I doubt that they're going to ask for your help a-and then kill you last second."
Veld: "You're not going to be heading over with us so you don't need to think about that."
Cale: "I-I know!"
Xaena: "You don't need to put Cale down like that! She's just trying to help!"
Veld: "Sorry, it's just that it's true."
Tensions begin to rise.
Lariat: "(sighing) Everyone calm down, we're here."
They have just docked at the vast beach.
Owen: "(determined) Here we go."
A faint light can be seen from the center of the vast jungle.
Rox: "Think you can stay with the boat, Cale?"
Cale remains on board as the others hop off.
Cale: "O-Okay."
Thoris: "(relieved) Thank you."
They all head into the jungle.
Xaena: "I-I'm hoping that Cale was right."
Makoh: "I'm putting a-all of my trust in her."
They soon arrive at a large pillar of white light.
Nyria: "Here we are."
They all step into the pillar.
Owen: "Time to get the results of our work."
They all vanish.
Bael: "They've finally arrived."
The eight arrive at a smaller platform connected to the one with the eight gods.
Lariat: "Smaller than I anticipated."
Xeoin: "It's because the soul is a fraction of a being."
They all slowly walk towards the gods.
Rox: "So what's next?"
Eight pillars appear behind each god.
Poxi: "Step into the pillars and the seal will be restored."
They all start to walk towards the pillars.
Xaena: "Wh-What happens then?"
Jex: "Then we'll temporarily fade from existence and our energy will be replenished."
Nyria: "So we're taking over for a while?"
Floa: "Ye-"
The pillars suddenly turn black.
Soalious: "More like I'm taking over."
Black lighting strikes the gods.
Feaquil: "(in pain) Soalious!"
The heroes are repelled backwards by the blasts.
Soalious: "Man did my plan work!"
Rox: "(struggling) Plan?"
Soalious emerges at the center of the gods.
Soalious: "When you bastards sealed me, I sent one last attack on you!"
510 years ago...
Soalious: "(in head) Guess I need to wait."
Eight, microscopic balls of energy enter the gods the moment the seal is complete.
Present time...
Preio: "That feeling wasn't my imagination!"
The lightning gets harsher.
Soalious: "That attack drained away your energy a lot faster and gave you all my specialty."
Gods: "Fear."
The gods become lifeless as energy from all eight are absorbed into Soalious, but some of it finds their way into the heroes as a last ditch effort without anyone noticing.
Thoris: "(struggling) All we did was loosen the seal instead of repairing it!"
The bodies now have a black light to their eyes.
Soalious: "I always was the smart one."
Everyone else is pushed into the light.
Soalious: "I'll take whatever is left inside you all!"
They vanish into the light the moment Soalious is about to grab them.
Soalious: "Damn, now they're going to fly all over Isa."
The lightning subsides as the pillars vanish.
Soalious: "Time to let me have some fun with my new toys!"
Meanwhile...
Cale: "What's happening?!"
Pure, black clouds cover the world, with red, orange, yellow, green, light blue, dark blue, purple, and pink lights flying out from the center, in different directions.
Cale: "I-It can't be!"
Red and orange land north, yellow and green east, light blue and dark blue south, and purple and pink west.
Cale: "(afraid) He's coming..."
