Chapter 93: Daykona's Reasons

Chapter 93: Daykona’s Reasons

Sasha has woken up and now the heroes are trying to get to Daykona. Like last time, Sasha does not remember much from what just happened.

The heroes converse as they continue running through the mansion.

“So I did that?” Sasha asks, amazed. “I see. I wish I could tell you more but I don’t know.”

“It’s okay,” Zeth replies. “We will get your power unlocked.”

Interjecting, Emily points ahead, shouting, “Trouble ahead of us!”

Daykona’s minions stand in their path. They all appear to be weak goons with no discernible threatening power.

“No problem!” Zeth shouts with a grin. “We can blow right through these guys!”

They punch any minion they come in contact with, easily blowing by them.

“They are setting up a blockade ahead!” Kurt points out.

Minions are gathering around a blockade of various junk, a desperate attempt to stop the heroes.

“Once again, no problem!” Zeth shouts as he releases a Star Shine Blast, which destroys the blockade and annihilates the minions too. After getting through, they eventually reach a large staircase.

“Due to the fancy design, I figure these stairs will take us to Daykona,” Zeth says.

“I was just thinking the same thing,” Kurt adds.

“Then let’s go up there and kick her ass,” Joe says. “I’m tired of this stupid mansion.”

“I think we all are,” Emily replies, taking a deep breath.

“Let’s get going,” Sasha suggests.

They begin running up the stairs, all of them determined to reach Daykona and finally finish this. As they run up, turrets hanging from the ceiling take aim and start shooting magic beams at them.

“This is nothing!” Zeth shouts. “Let’s take these out!”

The other four shout, “Right!” in reply.

The heroes have no problem handling them as they dodge the beams and then release their own ranged magic attacks to destroy them. Soon, all of the turrets are destroyed.

“It seems Daykona now has no choice but to fight us herself,” Zeth says.

They all smile confidently as they can see the end of this mess in sight. They reach the top of the stairs and walk into a very large room. They see Daykona sitting on her throne.

“Oh, so you are acting like you are royalty now?” Zeth asks, irritation in his voice.

Daykona smiles and laughs. “Hehehe! You have done well to make it this far.”

“No, it’s more like you have done well to avoid having me not stop to talk and just go straight to strangling you for these aggravating annoyances,” Zeth replies, his irritation growing.

“What are you after!?” Sasha asks, gritting her teeth.

“You have yet to be clear on anything about your goals,” Kurt states.

Daykona looks up at the wide glass window part of the ceiling. “I want to experiment. I want to create. I want to know what the gods have hidden from us mortals.”

Zeth raises an eyebrow but remains silent.

Daykona stops looking up and changes her focus to the heroes as she continues speaking.

“I have big bulging eyes, and though they don’t literally make me see better, they figuratively let me see that something is clearly not right about this world and the heavens and the hells. The gods and goddesses of the light and dark fighting over what to do with us as if we are their playthings.”

“That is nonsense!” Zeth blurts out. “My mother does everything in her power to protect this world!”

Daykona continues, ignoring Zeth’s outburst. “I want to create beings that can oppose the gods.”

“That experiment that can resist magic…” Kurt mutters.

“Precisely!” Daykona replies, leaning forward. “Though, that one was a failure. This has all led me to join the Divine Killers. Or as it’s also known, Crow Beak. Although I mainly operate independently of the rest of the organization.”

An angry Zeth recalls that Harmona warned him about the Divine Killers.

“Something I need to warn you about during your travels, watch out for the Divine Killers. Though, their organization is officially called ‘Crow Beak’. They are a group of mortal people that want to rid the world of all divine influence. They think that only mortals should have influence in the world, as naïve as they are, and will try to kill anyone who does not originate in the mortal world. This makes them a wild card in the battle against the Dark Goddess. Zeth, if they find out you are a divine being, they will come after you. And you being the son of a goddess will only make you more important as a target.”

With his memories of Harmona’s warning echoing in his head, he sternly says, “So you’re my first encounter with one of these misguided Crow Beak people!”

“It is here that I now get the chance to start by killing the children of both the Light and Dark Goddesses...” Daykona says calmly before lifting her arms up as she shouts with a mix of excitement and anger, “Let this be a warning to the gods!”

“That’s it, I have had enough of you!!” Zeth yells.

He powers up, his magic energy flowing as a strong aura surrounds his body.

“Let’s get this started!!!” he screams as his aura flares.

The heroes have heard Daykona’s plans and reasons. Now, their final battle with her starts.
