"Why and how have you summoned us? Only the Dark King and his companions know of our existence" Santaren stated.
"The stone tablets" Mane answered quickly, somehow knowing they would understand.
"So.. you are the guardians of this world?" Kehter-Chara asked.
"Yes.. almost. Kingnoob–The Dark King–is.. well, he didn't make it through a fight" Roy explained, sadly.
"Your statement was incorrect in every aspect." Santaren sternly informed.
"To start, the Dark King was never a guardian. He was never meant to be. The shadows were created for death and destruction; they are not a force of good." Survanet explained.
"But, four tablets fell. Every legend says four-" Mane began to argue.
"The legends tell of four guardians, yes, but Kingnoob is not one of them. Yes; the tablet fell for his purposes, but his destiny is far different from yours." Kehter-Chara retaliated.
"Then who is the fourth..?" Flare asked.
"You know her as a master of the element water" Survanet answered.
"Jess.." Flare gasped to himself.
"Wait, you said Kingnoob has a different destiny, but he's dead!" Mane retaliated, confused now.
"No, he is not. He lives on in the shadow realm where he belongs. Once he realizes his destiny, he will be able to return." Santaren answered for Mane.
Mane sighed, and bowed his head. "Now, there is an important issue that we must discuss... Carnelius Nar has been resurrected." The tree spirits looked at each other shocked at this news, and then turned back to the three. "And he has the DNA of Derponet inside of him.."
"If what you say is true.. then there is nothing you can do to stop him" Kehter-Cahra sighed.
"What!? Anything, please!" Roy begged, hopeful at the news of the possibility of a chance at victory.
Survanet reached behind her back, and then pulled out an elaborately designed staff. Kehter-Cahra and Santaren watched her do this, and then each reached behind their backs. Kehter-Cahra pulled out a more crude staff, and Santaren pulled out a sword.
"This is my staff.. it is infused with the strongest Gedunian energy. I present this as a gift to you, Mane" Survanet offered, handing the staff over to Mane.
"This is my sword; the most powerful blade in this land. It is both unbreakable and matchable; use it in your imminent battle" Santaren offered to Roy, and handed over his sword.
"And Flare" Kehter-Cahra began, "This is my staff, a power source for rage and intense energy. Use it to channel your fire and you will have a strength you have never felt before."
"Be warned: Even with these weapons you might not be enough to defeat Carnelius and his army. If you can not succeed, run. You must not let Nar get his hands on these weapons. Ever." Santaren warned.
"For if he does, as well as the geo-blocks, he will have the ability to create a weapon of such magnitude that not even the Dark King will be able to stop him." Kehter-Cahra finished the warning.
Mane, Flare, and Roy all bowed their heads, and turned to leave. "One more question.." Mane asked as he turned around. "How will Kingnoob know how to fulfill his destiny?"
"He will. He just will" Santaren answered, and then the lights flickered back on; the spirits gone.

Kingnoob jolted up with a gasp, the voices in his dreams now gone. He looked at his surroundings as he panted. He could see the charred remains of a coliseum, and a few charred corpses in front of him.
"It worked" He coughed, and got to his feet; still weak from his self-destruct attack. "But.. Why am I still alive? Why am I still alive!?!"He yelled to the sky, desperate for some sort of answer.
He received none.
He continued panting, and fell to his knees. "Why? There must.. there must be something I have to do." He asked himself, starting to catch his breath.
~N- Nar~ ~Resurrection~ ~Power* The words of Moka rang in his head, and he tried to make sense of them. "What!?!" he roared into the sky, and fell flat on his face; though he was still conscious.
"Something... anything.." He begged. "Just some kind of sign!" A tear of frustration seeped from his eye, and he pulled himself to his feet.
Still, he received nothing.
"Maybe.. I'm nothing. I am a shadow. I am death. How can I be a savior of the earth? The ocean.. aquatic life would fit- of course. Jessica is who was meant for me." Kingnoob came to realization to. "But.. the shadow slab.. I saw it.." He continued, the black sun of the shadow realm setting; and things started becoming darker.
~Nar~ The name rang in his head again, and he thought harder. "Why am I even here? Why was I resurrected? I was a tyrant.. murderer.. why was I spared?"
Kingnoob was becoming frustrated, then something of a wall seemed to fall from his mind. "The attacks.. Nar.. powers.." He repeated aloud. "I-.. I am supposed to kill Nar if.. no, when he is resurrected."
With that said, he felt a weight lift off his shoulders, and a black portal opened next to him. "Which might be sooner that I thought."

As soon as the three surfaced, Lizzy urged them forward; they did not even have a chance to explain anything. It was almost as if she expected all of the events that had occurred down in the cave.
They ran for a few miles, until another running group caught their eye. Lizzy turned towards them, and eventually they caught up with them; the being Blue and the others.
"Lizzy! Now would you mind to explain what is going on?" Blue asked, holding up an energized cube with a pyramid and sphere resting firmly in their appropriate slots on the cube.
"Definitely" Lizzy answered, and took the cube. She tapped the orb in the center, and it glowed slightly, a hole opening on the point of the pyramid, and three more on three of the sides.
Lizzy then grabbed her staff, and slid it into the opening in the pyramid**** fit perfectly, then seemed to lock in place. "Give me the weapons" She ordered, and Mane, Flare and Roy gave her their newly found weapons.
Lizzy took each, and put it into its own hole, each locking into place. After it was completely assembled, an energy surrounded the staff and three weapons so that they shared the same design and texture as the cube. After it was done, Lizzy handed the hammer to Blue to hold.
"This weapon.. it might be our only chance at killing Nar. It is going to be a last resort, however, as we can not risk taking it into battle early and losing it.
"So, now what?" Flare asked.
"Now.. we prepare for the fight of our lives. And we hope that we win; for if we don't, the world as we know it is finished." Lizzy answered, frightened.
"But where to look? This guy could be anywhere by now!" Blue asked, just as frightened as Lizzy.
"Nar has had a taste of darkness... and he probably wants more. Where do *you* think he's gonna be?" Lizzy asked.
"...The Dark Kings castle.. rumored landing point of Kingnoobs slate." Blue answered in a sigh.

Nar stopped, the crushed ruins of the Dark Kings castle half a mile in front of him. Behind him was his army of stone leopard-like things, and beside him stood Dorkstein.
"This is it master; ultimate power is at your finger tips." Dorkstein chuckled, anticipation sweeping through his body. "And this time no one can stop us."
Nar remained silent, and then continued walking. "Be on the ready, for they shall try." Nar warned, and Dorkstein nodded, knowing this was true.
They continued walking, and the remains of the castle became more clear. It had completely collapsed; if the stone was in there, it was buried under a ton of wood and stone. "Dig" Nar ordered, and pointed at the rubble.
The front line of his stone leopards snarled, and charged forward at their masters command, ready to tear through wood and stone. Before they could reach, though, a wall of fire rose from the earth and stopped the creatures in their paths.
Each of them turned to find the cause, as did Nar and Dorkstein. On a hill a quarter of a mile away, they could see a young man standing, the heart of fire glaring in his eyes. "The holder of fire. Attack!" Nar ordered in a roar.
The stone leopards bent down on their front legs, and then leaped forward, sprinting towards Flare. Before impact, Flare was thrown into the air over the leopards, and he shot a laze of fire down at them, leaving nothing but char marks.
Flare landed, and he whistled sharply, Mane flying overhead with several other people being dragged telekinetic-ally behind him. He broke that link, and Blue, Wave, and the others dropped down to the ground; the swordsmen landing with their swords driven into a leopard.
Nar roared,and raised his right hand, nearby rubble begining to shift into new stone leopards, that immediately began to charge.
Flare threw his palms behind him and shot fire from them, surging himself forward and over the incoming hostiles and into a clear zone with Nar.
"Guardian of Zamorak, you are match for I. Surrender now and thou death shall be quick.. and mostly painless." Nar commanded, his voice intimidating enough to take control of the common minded.
"Never" Flare hissed, and swung his arms at Nar, blue fire surging from his hands and towards Nar.
Nar put his hand through the blast and managed to break through it unharmed, then he pulled his sword from his sheath. "Thou shall die painfully." He growled, and lifted his sword over his head, swiping down brutally.
Before any anticipated contact could be made, Roy had leaped into the fight and threw a sword into the path of Nar's. With all of his strength, he was able to stop it from striking down Flare, but only long enough for Flare to move.
The stone leopards snarled as they circled the group; their paths becoming smaller to draw the entire group into one small pack. "Damn.." Wave growled, and threw his whips to the ground. He reached to his back, and grabbed the handle of a sword. he pulled it out to reveal a giant two-handed sword with fancy edges: a sword of the gods.
One of the newer leopards roared, and leaped at Wave, who swiped at the leopard with his new weapon and sliced it clean in half.
All hell broke loose, and the leopards charged the group, Wave doing his best to kill what he could.
Boom! That's what it took to kill a leopard sneaking up on Wave, and Mk laughed to himself, repositioning his hand cannon for another shot.
Jessica moved to the outside of the group and was able to sneak by. She looked around for a few seconds, then found what she was looking for; a source of water, which just so happened to be a conveniently placed lake.

"Leave now; this is your last chance!" Nar roared, swinging his sword violently at Roy, who ducked under it and ran to the opposite side; temporarily out if attacking range.
"No, you!" Flare roared back. "We will make sure that you do not succeed!"
Nar became enraged by this, and pointed his hand at Flare, a surge of lightning far more powerful than his first flying from his gloved fingertips.
Flare stood shocked for a second, but then he braced himself and allowed the electricity to hit him. He knew he had little time, and then he roared in pain and forced all of the electronegative energy out of his own hands, back at Nar.
Nar took the blast and froze for a second, slightly stunned at being shocked. He shook it off within moments, and took a heavy step towards Flare. "I have waited century's for my resurrection. I am NOT going to let some kids ruin the plans I have so long awaited to fulfill." Nar scowled, and charged at Flare and Roy with heavy steps.
"Crap, crap, crap" Blue growled to himself, using his agility to maneuver around and attack the leopards, his standard weapons doing little to no hard against their stone hide.
"Move!" Jessica's voice ordered, and a dump load of water flew through the sky and towards the group of leopards that had managed to surround Blue. Blue looked up, and quickly jumped onto a leopards back, and then he dove off just as the water hit the leopards and then curved back up and became a bubble; trapping the leopards so that they would drown.
"Nice trick" Blue groaned, getting to his feet. He sighed as he looked on, seeing nothing but the stone leopards and his allies fighting them. "We.. " he sighed, and then grabbed his sword and ran up to the nearest enemy.

Mane tried to help everyone; using his telekinesis to stop a leopard from landing an attack, or lifting someone into the air to avoid the attack.
"Gedunian.." Dorkstein scowled to himself, and ran over to a tree off to the side of the battlefield. He jumped up to the top, and turned towards where Mane was. He crouched as low as he could, and then jumped towards Mane, sword drawn.
Mane heard a slight snap, and turned to see Dorkstein flying at him with a weapon drawn. With little time to react, he stopped levitating and allowed himself to fall. He hit ground hard, but quickly made way back to his feet in time for a confrontation with Dorkstein.
Dorkstein landed a few yards in front of Mane, and drew a second sword from his belt. He pointed them both at Mane, and chuckled.
"Oh... crap" Mane groaned, and raised his hands to use his abilities.
Roy and Flare jumped to either side, managing to avoid the initial attack of Nar's, but neither were ableto avoid being pelted by debris drawn from the earth from the magnitude of the attack.
"Pathetic!" Nar roared, and swung his sword at Flare, who leaned backwards far enough to go under the blade. "Little!" he continued, and the swung around to swing at Roy, who quickly dropped to his stomach to avoid the attack. "Cowards!" He finished, and raised his sword to finish Roy off, who was still on the ground.
***
Kingnoob looked on through the portal, and he could see the remains of his former castle**** angle of viewing moved after a few moments, and he could see Flare and Roy fighting the tyrant Carnelius Nar, as well as the rest of his friends and allies fighting some kinds of stone leopards.
"This.. this is it.My destiny is fulfilled here." he said to himself, and jumped into the portal, which closed behind him.

"It will be fun to watch you fall at my hand" Dorkstein laughed, and charged mane with a red magic trailing behind him.
Mane used his abilities and caught Dorkstein in a telekinetic grab, but for only a moment; for Dorkstein was able to somehow break Manes hold and then continue charging.
Mane freaked out, and jumped into the air, levitating away. Dorkstein stopped under Mane and scowled, jumping into the air and using a flight magic to propel him. Mane looked down and saw him, and he looked back up, trying to go faster.
The two went higher and higher, and finally an idea struck Mane. He cut off his levitation and fell, past Dorkstein, and then towards the ground. "This had better work" He pleaded with himself and he looked up to see Dorkstein now following him down.
"Come on.. come on.." Mane panted, frightened, as the ground became closer and closer. Only a few yards above the ground, he reactivated his levitation and halted. Dorkstein kept going for only a moment, and then curved up nad flew back at Mane.
Mane grimaced, and then landed, Dorkstein flying over and landing several yards away. "I see you fight as a coward; that will get you nowhere in war!" Dorkstein laughed. "You don't understand... I might be human, but I can not die! I have survived the unthinkable; with my wit and strength, not some DNA ability!" He roared with an evil joy.
"Not even your precious Dark King was able to kill me!" He chuckled, and cast a bind spell, which held Mane tight in his place. "Now then.." He snickered, and walked over to Mane, dropping one of his swords. "Any last words?"
"You might try asking that to yourself" Wave growled behind him, and Dorkstein spun around. Before he could react, Wave was slashing down with his godsword, and hit Dorkstein head on, cutting him clean in half.
