Shad's POV:

This is it. The day where I rule Irene and take away everything she loves like she did with me. She took my soldiers, my life, and my heart as well as broke it. This is for everything you did to me Irene. Be prepared to watch everyone and everything die in front of you.

Aphmau's POV:

"Aaron, I don't want to go but I don't want you to go alone."

"I know Aphmau." He turns to me. "If there was any way I could just reveres all of this and have us live normal lives, I would in a heat beat. It's not just not going to be me and you going. Dante, Gene, Laurence, Garroth, Travis, Katelyn, Zane, Sasha, Zenix, and Lily decided to go with us. They asked Ein yesterday when we were asleep and woke me up to tell me. I'm sorry Aphmau." They are all going with us? I think I know why they want to go. A little while back, we figured out about the Devine Warriors and found out who was who from Hyria. Since we knew that I'm Irene, Aaron is a descendent of Shad, and Travis is a descendant of  Enki, we decided to figure everyone else. Garroth is a descendant of Esmund the Protector, Laurence is the descendant of  Kul'Zak, and Katelyn is the descendant of Menphia. Together, we have incredible power. No one, not even Shad in the flesh, can match this. He doesn't know that though.

"You know what? That's fine. We have a surprise in store for him anyways. I gave everyone yesterday a charm. It will go on your shirt or wherever you want. When you press the charm, there will be an armor set and a sword in there. It will also transform you into your divine form. Here. I made this one special for you. It is also a locket with a picture of us in there. There's also a button that you push to get your stuff."

"Thanks Aphmau. You are amazing." Then we head outside and meet Ein and his goons outside of the gate. Here goes nothing.

Aaron's POV:

We are currently on our way to the Nether portal Ein and his shadow knights came here through. I wonder what the Nether looks like. I look at Laurence and gives me glance back. This must be hard for him, going back to the Nether. He sacrificed himself for Aphmau when they went into the Nether. It's too silent so I decide to speak.

"So Ein, how does it feel to be one of Shad's pawns?"

"I'm not his pawn. I am a soldier of the Nether. I understand that in the other dimension you are the Ultima and here you are a Divine Warrior, but you have no pace to speak out of line."

"Well he's kind of right though. Trust me. I'm a shadow knight myself and all he did for us was give us stupid commands. That's when my love for Aphmau helped me in my darkest times. A rebel shadow night or not, you are his pawn. He will turn on you right when he gets what he wants. Trust me."

"There's nothing I can do about it anyways. I'm not a werewolf anymore because Aaron took that away. I'm just a normal human. I'm not special in any way. I'm not even a shadow night yet. He said that if I bring you guys to him that he'll make me into a full blood shadow night."

"Well we have an idea. We just need you to be on board with it Ein. I know it's hard to see me and Aaron together, especially because you still have feelings for me. We need you and every soldier here on board with us. I can sense that you all are rebel shadow nights. You hate is very strong." As soon as I say that, someone takes their helmet off. It's the old lord of Scaleswind. "Sir. I've forgotten you were a shadow knight. I am extremely sorry."

"You're quite alright Sir. It's nice to see you after all this time. You look the same as when you left. Lady Aphmau, I don't think I've properly met this man. Who is he?"

"I'm Aaron. I'm her husband." I never thought I would say those words EVER in my life. It just sounds so foreign.

"Husband? Wow! So you went from Ms. Aphmau Phoenix to Mrs. Aphmau....?"

"Liken. Aphmau Liken." I look over to Aphmau who is smiling. Ein groans in disgust. "Anyway, we have a plan to beat Shad. We have the new generation of the Devine Warriors. Laurence Zvahl, Aaron Liken, Garroth Ro'mave, Kaitelyn The FireFist, Travis, and me."

"Who's Irene?" Before Aph can speak Laurence and Garroth shout...

"Aphmau is!" At that his eyes go big. I don't know what to think or say. It's just all still...new to me to hear the name Irene referring to Aphmau.

"Lady Irene in the flesh?! I knew there was something special about you the day we met."

"Yes there is. That's why I married her. I knew she was special and she was amazing. She is now mine and I will NEVER regret it." Another soft groan comes from Ein. He doesn't like the fact that me and Aphmau are married now. "Anyway, is everyone in on our plan?"

"Count us in." I'm shocked Ein was the one to say it above everyone else. "What's the plan?"

Time Skip By Elena

Lord of Scaleswind's POV:

I hope this lad, Aaron, is right and can go through with this plan of his and Lady Aphmau's. I can't believe she married the stranger instead of someone like Laurence or Garroth. They both liked her. I trust her judgement though. I just hope she knows what she's doing.

Ein's POV:

Aphmau seems to know what she's doing. She has in the past and I never listened. Maybe she's already in her perfect form, her human form. There's Shad now. There's no turning back now.

"Lord Shad!" I kneel "I have not just Irene but your descendent and the rest of the new Divine."

"Excellent. We meet again Irene It's nice too---"

"Don't call me Irene! You will never be worthy enough to call me Irene!"

"Then what do I call you?" He gives an evil grin.

"Aphmau!" They press the charms that they have and some armor and a sword came out onto them and into their hands. They also turn into their divine forms. We line up next to them. "Sorry Shad but I'll always be one step ahead of you." Aphmau has her back straight and an aura of energy surrounds her showing Shad that she's of more power and strength than he is. I already know how this battle will end.

"Michi, Demon Warlock, Ivy, Lily! Get prepared for war. I'll give you idiot's 5 minuets to change your mind and surrender. If you don't, well then you'll regret it." Shad is giving us 5 minuets? That doesn't sound like him at all. Hmmm. I wonder how Aphmau will react to all this. I doubt she will be surprised.

"We don't need 5 minuets! We need you to surrender. If you don't then I will put you in a place where no one will know you, you will have no power, you will not be of any importance, you will be alone, AND you will be weak. I'll give YOU 5 minuets to make your decision." Did she just...? She just threatened Shad the DETROYER.

"Fine. I'll take your most gracious offer. Leave me be with my colleges." I keep a keen eye on him as we walk away. The moment Aphmau turns around to take a step away, Shad pulls out his sword and throws it at Aphmau.

"APHMAU WATCH OUT!!!" I run and push her out of the way. I've fallen and I'm in too much pain to get up. I look down to see the sword right through me enchanted for a one time use only to kill anyone who is a god, goddess, or immortal. I'm immortal so it works on me. Black starts to cloud the edges my vision and I see Aphmau running up to me. Is this how it ends?

"EIN!!!!!! NO!!!!!!!!" Aphmau throws her sword right at Shad and stabs him right in the stomach. Everything starts to fade around me.

"I'm sorry Aphmau. I'm...sorry...for..everything."

Aphmau's POV: 

"EIN!!!!!!!!!!!! NO!!!!!!!!!" I throw my sword right into Shad's stomach. I run and slide over to Ein, dodging an arrow in the process. Blood is oozing out of his chest. "Ein, please don't leave us. Don't leave me."

"I'm sorry Aphmau. I'm...sorry...for...everything."

"Ein please. Look at me. LOOK AT ME!!!"' His eyes closed and he has no pulse. He's cold and limp. He's "Gone. Aaron, he's gone." Aaron comes to comfort me. I can feel the aura around me brighten and get larger. Aaron covers his ears and walks away. He knows I'm about to scream, and when I scream your ears could bleed. "HOW DARE YOU KILL HIM!!! I'M GOING TO MAKE YOU WISH YOU WERE NEVER BORN SHAD!!!!!!!!!" I make another sword appear our of thin air and charge toward Shad. I grab onto him and bring all of us to my dimension. Wait, did I say MY dimension? Oh well. It is technically. "Here, none of your or your shadow knights powers are useful. Give up now and I'll kill you quickly." He spit at me.

"Never." I grab my sword and enchant it. I kill him. It kills all of his loyal Shadow Knights. Laurence is okay as well as Gene, Sasha, Zenix, and Zane. I bring us all back to Phoenix Drop and everyone cheers for us. I made it so time was frozen until we got back. I look through the crowd to find Aaron but someone covers my eyes. Out of instinct I elbow them in the chest not realizing that it was Aaron. I turn around and give him a hug.

"I'm SO sorry. It was instinct."

"It's fine. I probably would've done the same thing." We kiss and everyone goes silent. When we pull away we see Hyria walk toward us. Aaron grabs my hand and our fingers intertwine. "Hello Hyria."

"Hello Aaron. Ire- I mean Aphmau." She gives us a smile. "You and your friends have a choice. You all may stay here or go back to the other dimension. Know that either way has a price."

"What is that price if I may ask?"

"That is not to be said. It's rules."

"We choose....."
