A
Father's Love
With the death of Junior, Katrina is grieving, having lost
one person too many in her life that she cares about. Wind, realizing that the
big battle with Theos is rapidly arriving, tries to reconcile with his daughter
and heal the rift that has formed between them. Can a father and daughter show
their love for each other before they take on a God? And what mysterious force
is at work?
Session 235: Hello Again
Wind leads the Emerald Ship to Theos' Sanctuary for
what will hopefully be the end of Theos' plan to start the second age of the
universe - by bringing all the worthy souls to heaven and casting all the damned
into hell. However, once they arrive and begin to work their way in, it seems
the lines of who is right and wrong are blurred as the team begins to murder all
of Theos' men who try to get them to stop. When they are battle Logos, one of
the three fates, a dead Junior comes to their aid - only, after they defeat
Logos, they learn it isn't Junior at all. Garland has had his soul transferred
to the dead body of his son in order to deal with this threat. As the team
continues, they end up seperated by Pathos, who attempts to gather the weakest
in one spot - Slasher, Colephantus, Katrina, Kio, and Terra. However, as they
continue onward, they learn that Ripple and Spirit are now working for Theos -
and after a harsh battle, drive the two away, only to face Ethos, who refuses to
let them pass, but doesn't attack either. Kio and Colephantus quickly ends his
life.
Session 236: War of the Gods
Slasher, Colephantus, Katrina, and Kio continue
onward, where they run into Ripple and Spirit again. And this time, it's a
battle to the death. As the two enhanced psionics battle them, they are forced
to do everything in their power to stop them - and when defeated, Slasher has no
choice but to kill Ripple and Spirit in order to continue onward. Meanwhile,
Garland has to do battle with Pathos alone, and prove who is stronger - fate or
a Hianule. And Snipe has to convince Hotaru and Em to give up the glory of
heaven for him.
In the end, everyone is reunited for the final battle with Theos. As Snipe handles the psionics with Slasher's new invention, the rest use the Bone Blade to battle Theos in a bid for the world. As Kio uses hyper and battles Theos with everything he has, he's soon defeated despite holding his own. Colephantus then steps up, but sustains heavy damage from Theos. Finally, everyone has has to step up and end Theos' for good. After the battle ends, Theos' dies, giving them his blessing, but the trouble isn't over yet. As Colephantus dies in Katrina's arms, Atheos arrives, ready to rule the universe.
Session 237: Exhiled
Atheos now stands as the supreme power in the galaxy with
Theos defeated. He quickly kidnaps Katrina, claiming she is the key to opening
the gate of the dead and unleashing their souls into the universe. As he turns
into Sigma, claiming he's going out to cause trouble somewhere and leaves,
everyone has to escape back to the Emerald Sword, where they see the entire
galaxy is going insane. Wind and Ariel head back to Earth, where Wind thinks
Atheos is at, while the others debate what to do. In the end, Garland has an old
friend, Spectre, deal with the Tsivrixsh insanity, while the others rush to
Earth to find Wind and Ariel locked in battle with Atheos. When they all arrive,
Atheos defeats them all, saying they will meet again and leaves.
Session 240: Teaos
After navigating a giant maze, the team arrives in Atheos'
chamber. There, the final battle against hell begins, as they have to face the
many dead forms of their old enemies that Atheos has attained over the years. As
the fight drags onward, the team begins to wear down more and more. Finally,
Dias makes the ultimate sacrifice to protect Snipe from being killed. Enraged
and grieving at their loss, the team manages to beat Atheos back, who falls,
defeated. But before anyone can react, one of the dead spirits in Atheos takes
over his body - the soul of Xevil. Xevil, using Atheos' body, prepares to finish
the team off for good, when everyone combines their strength and seals Xevil
into the Ark of the Covenant for all time. But, the danger isn't over yet -
Katrina is about to open the Gate to Hell.
Session 241: Miracles
As Wind, Ariel, Michuri, Colephantus, Kio, Snipe, and
Slasher arrive at the Gate, they find Katrina has been completely brainwashed.
As the team attempts to reach her, it seems it will be a futile gesture and the
world will come to an end no matter what. As some of them contemplate killing
Katrina in order to save the galaxy, Michuri reaches out with her psionics
powers and opens Katrina's mind long enough for Cole, Wind, and Ariel to reach
her. Coming out of her dark state, Katrina collapses, but the gate has already
begun to open it. Helpless to stop it, the team witnesses a miracle - all the
souls of their dead friends, led by Dias, attacks the Gate. Dias, Eve, Ripple,
Spirit, Slash, Darien, Ire, Kyouki, and many more bring down the gate for good,
ending the threat. And Garland, done with his battle, uses his powers of Death
to destroy his soul to release Junior's body, which is healed. As the team has
saved the day, they head home, ready to start a new chapter in their lives.
