Vanula’s war cry

“Taro!” Turning around he sees no one. That voice was Ashley's. “Dad, I’m ready to fight Victor. This has to end now.”

“Yeah, I know you are.”

“I can’t have this thing playing mental games during this.”

Listen, Taro, you must claim the spirit. If you don’t, Victor will only come back later down the road with more power. You have to purify its soul. You only have one shot.”

“Who is this Victor person?”

“Don’t worry about this, Pai, you have your own battle now. Rondo is coming after you personally.”

“Don’t let a spirit kill you, Taro. I still wanna test your spirit energy against my essence, don't drop dead in there. I’ll pull you out of there myself,” scold Pai.

“As if that will happen, idiot,” smiles Taro.

“Listen, everyone get prepared for the enemy. This is only the beginning of it all. I won’t let them harm this planet anymore, no one. We run this show, not them. We’re made for this.”

Back on Kowo Island, inside the alien craft. Rondo waits in the cockpit. “Is that the heat me and Plug felt earlier?”

“Sir, we have an incoming transmission linking to the ship. Lord Dante waits,” says the alien.

Rondo’s fingers tap the chair. Dammit, this isn’t gonna be good. I gotta break the news to him. I was hoping for someone else. I don't even know how I’m gonna handle this one. “Put the transmission through!” A shadow appears through a hologram.

“How’s the search going for my brother?” says Dante.

Rondo squeezes both hands. “Um, sir, about Rook,” Rondo mumbles.

Plug walks through the door. “I’ll rip it off for you, Rook is dead. The androids were unable to bring him back because whatever killed him wanted nothing to be left behind.” The whole cockpit goes quiet, with no sudden movement.

All the aliens look back and forward to Dante, Plug, and Rondo. Dante sits in silence, rubbing his shadow pixel hands together. Dante and Plug hold eye contact. Dante looks over at Rondo.

“Is this true, Rondo?”

“Yes, we found Rook’s remains scattered throughout the land.”

“So who’s this person that killed my brother?”

“I don’t know his name, but intel is saying we have two Seekers on this planet. That’s probably what killed Rook.”

Rondo’s pushed back into the chair, glued shut. “I’m so tired of hearing about seekers and fucking Nova. Everyone is so obsessed with this fucking dumb Nova? Now, I lost my brother to this bullshit. All because of Nova...Nova…Nova. I've made up my mind, if you don't kill that person don't bother coming or I'll kill you myself.”

Is this telekinesis, isn’t this guy thousands of light years away from us? “Rondo, Kill everyone involved with this and retrieve all the power ore from the planet. Make sure you take his head with you. Fucking kill the bastard!” The spaceship shakes.

“Yes, sir,” says Rondo.Dante releases Rondo from telekinesis.

“What’s your name?”

“The name’s Plug, swell to finally meet you warlock,” says Plug.

Dante smirks. “He has more backbone than you ever will, however call me a warlock again and I’ll take your head, Plug.” Dante ends the transmission.

“Fucking Dante!”

Rondo shoots a beam through the cockpit window. “I’m gonna end this fucking trash kid, giving me all this trouble. I have no choice but to burn everything down! I hope you're ready for the smell of blood. Plug, you can have all the kills you want!”

Additional beams spill, melting some of the cockpit. “Everyone, we head out in two hours. Keep building androids. Nothing will be left standing up, everything must be crushed!”

“So that was Dante, how exciting.” Plug smiles.

Dante flies over yellow rings of a planet. “Seeker, huh, and Nova? I’ll wipe everyone out who’s associated with this fuck. I don’t care who it is, I’m ending it all when I get my hands on you.”

Juzu smashes his fist on the glass. “Sorry, I thought it was our shot to finish it all.”

“We all have the power to stop what's happening, however you know we can’t do that,” says Vanula. The scar on Vanula shines. “Trust me, I know just sitting here makes me want to vomit. Knowing they were there the whole time. We all knew, nevertheless... Juzu, shallow your sins for now. Just make it to the end with me. I want all of us to."

“The promise we all made, I don’t wanna come short of that. Let’s get everyone back together. After all this wait, I’ll be damned if we don’t reach there together,” says Juzu.

“Yeah, In our way we’re breaking through everything.”

“I’ll destroy every single power ore. I’m tired of this fucking curse on our lives.”

"We’ll atone for everything. Repercussions will come for us all. There’s no going around that, step by step all the pieces will fall into place.”Vanula and Juzu fist bump; the window creaks.

“That’s coming out of your paycheck.”

“Just get a stronger glass.”

“Don’t blame it on the window!"

Pai and everyone practices in the training room. Outside Taro fires ghost trigger, the beam forms into a portal. “Alright, Taro, it’s all up to you now. Only you have your back in there,” warned Mr. Z.

Taro's lungs fill up. “Remember, the ghost trigger is powerless inside the spirit realm for now. You will have to use your own spirit energy within to weaken Victor. As that happens you just have to touch Victor with ghost trigger. To start the passing on process. The spirit realm will try to play mind games. Nevertheless, push through no matter what.”

“Thanks, Dad, for helping me with ghost trigger."

"Also, remember you can't be there for too long. Your body isn't adapted to being there for long periods. Taro, you're fighting against time so always keep moving, and another thing..."

“I’m ready for this now, I got this.” Walking through the portal, it disappears by Mr. Z. “I wish I could also come with you Taro, but I’m just useless inside there. I’ll only be holding you back. This is something you must face alone.”

Taro walks out of the portal, entering inside the spirit realm. “It’s all coming back to me from my childhood, this place is beautiful.” The blue and red grassy land stretches holding down the massive mountains, sleeping with the dense clouds.

Spirit animals fly above, dipping for the blue greenish crystal water. Spirit energy fills the air leaving a blue tint behind.

Taro sees ghost trigger isn't active, but Taro’s feet ignite with spirit flames, heating the ground.

“Come over here... Taro, I know you’re here. Come to me, I sense that beautiful spirit. I know Ashley would've loved to be with us right now,” says Victor. Taro hears the voice coming from a mountain not too far away.

“I’m not running, I’ve come to end all this talking,” says Taro. Wind pushes the spirits as Taro jets off to his long-awaited battle among the spirits.

“My Vaders, a battle is upon us. Is everyone ready to put their lives on the line…If not, the enemy already defeated us. EWe are one lifeline, I wanna protect what’s dear to me. If you’re not living to the same standards, you can leave right now. I wouldn’t wanna die beside you. How far will you go for victory, Vaders?"

Lightning strikes behind their boss; flames outspread over leaves. You could hear the half-ashed leaves break through the fresh wind. No one moves a muscle.

"Star system seven is our home; we are the main force here. No one else, only us; we are the shield. Vaders, even if it's cracked, rebuild the damn thing to make it stronger. Don't let them break through. This is your home, and they're trying to take it."

Vanula's eyes widening in purple essence, his heavy blonde hair showers in essence. Juzu stands behind, the brass knuckles fog fade over their black suit pants and shoes.

“Okay, I see where you all stand, come and stand on that line together! I’m no better than you. We share the same fight, the same passion...The same victory, we all follow the same path. Lay down your lives, Vaders, and face your inevitable victory!”

"Vanula, I haven't seen you this worked up in forever," says Blake.

"My Vaders, I am selfish. My one true goal is to change everything for my liking. Ending corruption is what we must do, so the future generation can be prosperous. Help me make that happen. Our will of fire will never be broken, you must keep those flames alive deep in your souls. Don't waver! Fight for your brothers and sisters lives!"

Vanula, everything will work out, I promise that on my life. “Vaders fight! Vaders stand strong! Vaders...My Vaders fight with your life! Fight for those dreams. We must never let them become a myth. My Vaders we are the shield, please... My friends help me protect our dreams.”
