A month after the elementals arrived at the human realm. An isolated mysterious island has suddenly emerged in the middle of the pacific ocean. This island spanned for more than fifty thousand square kilometers and is completely covered by a magical barrier that hides and protects it from the eyes of the normal humans including their technologies.This island is called Bantayan and is currently used as the base of operations for the Human realms" final resistance against the incoming invasion of the Shadows.
Currently inside this ma.s.sive island are the various representatives of the different races responsible for defending the human realm. At the centermost is a ma.s.sive circular grandstand where the representatives meet.
Under the power and authority of the Guardians, the final resistance has been gathered.
On the right side are the groups of the water, wind, and earth elementals except for the fire and lightning elementals whose nature is of pure destruction. Currently leading them is the mermaid princess Danna of the water elementals, an earth fairy elemental called Katri, and a ma.s.sive golden eagle with golden claws and beaks called Unos.
On the left side of the ma.s.sive grandstand are a group of the last remaining Dragons who were forced to attend due to the severity of the situation. Right now, the strongest Dragon alive are on a level of an Elder Dragons since their last confrontation against Elric.
Completing the triangle formations are the various tribes of the elusive Ancient humans including the last survivors of the Arkhans and the Guardians.
While not far from the Ancient humans are a couple of representatives from the modern humans, mostly are powerful presidents, army generals, and CIA agents that were aware of the true situation of the human realm.
There was great animosity in the air as the various group stares at each other. However, in order to survive the coming invasion, the powerhouses have decided to push aside their differences and strive to work on the security of their future for now.
"As we have told you beforehand, in the next fifteen days, the longest total lunar eclipse will happen and the Emperor of the Dark Realm has been waiting for that specific day to start his full invasion."
The voice from the second-ranking Elder who is currently leading the union echoed throughout the grandstand.
Everyone snapped out of their hostile gazes and finally focused their full attention on the tall and composed figure of the Second Guardian Elder.
A month ago, the elemental has arrived to the human realm, causing a great uproar to the current residents of the human realm. The arrival of the weird-looking elementals together with their inherited abilities was considered a threat to the balance of the human realm thus igniting the locals to defend.
However, before another war could greet the newly arrived elementals, the Guardians suddenly intervene using the brute force of their advanced technology.
The Dragons, Ancient Humans, and even the powerful secret human agencies have to bow down at the overpowered abilities and technology used by the Guardians. Fortunately, the Guardians remained committed to upholding their duty in protecting the human realm.
Under their initiation and influence, these current union was born.
"As the number one race in terms of accurate calculations, tell us, how much is our chance of winning against the invasion?"
A familiar figure suddenly spoke from the direction of the Ancient humans. These men stood out from the rest of his companions since he is the only Arkhan who preferred to stand together with the Ancient humans instead of being with his fellow Arkhans on the other side.
It was Arkhoz, the Dragon Hunter who fought Elric for several occasions and survived. With his superior body that has consumed countless Dragons and the mind of the Ancient Humans, he is the current representative of the Ancient Humans instead of the Arkhans.
ROOOOAR!~
ROOOARRR~
ROOOOOOOOAR!~
The moment Arkhoz spoke, the Dragons on the opposite side could not help but release some hateful roar to the Dragon Hunter. Some Dragons remembered their close encounter with him and decided to jump out of their place in an attempt to harm him only to feel a sudden mental shock before fainting on the spot.
THUDDD!~
It was a psychic attack from the Guardians who are placed on every side and responsible of keeping the event peaceful. Seeing the Dragons finally calming down, the second Elder Guardian continued.
"As of our latest calculations from the data provided by the Elementals, our chances of winning is currently less than two percent."
Hearing the host"s reply, everyone could not help but grumble at the result.
"Two percent? Are those b.a.s.t.a.r.d Guardians looking down too much on us? We might be few but we are Dragons! I have faced those ant Shadows one time and they die on my breath like tiny insects being roasted!"
"No matter how many those Shadows are, as long as they are not as strong as that Alpha one, I doubt an army of thousand would last a single breath of mine!"
The Dragons, fueled by their overwhelming pride, reacted at the Elder Guardian"s answer with skepticism.
Meanwhile, Humans, Elementals, and Ancient Humans had a different reaction. They know better than letting their pride control their tongue and emotion.
"It is true. Even the G.o.d of the Elemental realm has fallen under the hands of the Shadows. Specifically, the Emperor"s power is just beyond our imagination." Danna interjected with a distressed look. The two mermaid princesses were beside her.
"Indeed. We have witnessed them ourselves. Those Shadows are hungry and endless. They are able to blend their bodies to our brothers making them more powerful with an extra elemental attribute." Katri, the Earth fairy elemental added.
"Not even our land of the wind was able to escape their grasp. Their body are incredibly adaptable and are almost unstoppable. It only took less than an hour before our wind elemental realm has fallen. If not for the help of the Elemental G.o.d, I doubt we could even last more than thirty minutes." said the ma.s.sive brown eagle called Unos.
The normal humans on the other side remained unmoving, their eyes are gazing from one side to another while trying to remain calm and learning as much as possible about the real situation.
"We may have a very small chance of winning, but we can effectively raise the probability if we work together. That is the main purpose of why we are currently gathered." The second Elder Guardian proceeded as he pulled out a small mettalic disc.
Then from the small metallic disc, came out a ma.s.sive screen revealing a certain video.
It was the last moment before Elric went inside the dimensional door to Kaora"s realm.
Then the voice of the second Elder came, " This is our final hope."
Everyone watched in curiosity as Elric, together with an unconscious old woman in his arm and two familiar Chinese looking siblings followed him as they entered the warping dimensional door.
Upon seeing the mysterious door, Arkhoz could not help but stand in shock.
"The Kaora"s realm. The legendary door to the Fabled s.p.a.ce. So they have it all along..." Arkhoz mumbled in disbelief as he recalled the rumored legend of the mysterious door left behind by their so-called "original" Guardian.
"It"s him!" Its Elric!" Diana grabbed Danna and Donna"s arm with excitement the moment they saw Elric"s back.
"Isn"t that turtle Lord Das.h.!.+? So he was here?" Donna said while watching the little turtle floating beside the mysterious door.
"It is indeed them..." Danna muttered with a little relief in her voice.
"The Alpha Dragon is currently inside the legendary Kaora"s realm. A place where not even the G.o.dly Beast of the Dimensional Realms could never find." Explained the second Elder Guardian.
Everyone listened attentively knowing that what"s gonna follow is probably their next step.
"The Kaora"s realm is an unreachable realm for everyone indeed unless specific conditions are met. The door leading there is one-time use only and will instantly shatter to useless bricks the moment it is used. However, going out of that realm would only be dependent on them and us. There is a strict timing that must be followed in order for a pa.s.sage to open and bring them back."
Then the second Elder paused for a moment, scanned the entire place before nodding as if confirming something from someone.
A mental message suddenly came to the host.
"Everything and everyone is cleared. Not a single shadow is present."
"Good." replied the host telepathically as he calmly switched back to his loud voice.
"On behalf of the Guardians, we are willing to provide you with our latest tools, weapons, and technology to defend against the Shadow"s invasion."
Hearing the news, the Ancient Humans and the Arkhans smiled excitedly. They knew just how valuable and powerful the Guardian"s technology is.
"However, we have already made calculations and despite equipping everyone with our weapons, our resources would not be enough to completely stop the enemies. Rather, its main purpose is to buy our hope the time they need to get out of the Kaora"s realm."
Then with a hopeless sigh, he added.
"That is if we can survive and find the Key to Kaora"s gate."
