Zero started to run towards the temple. John sensed Zero left and started to chase him through the city riding steel like a wave. Meanwhile, back near the temple Sierrna and Rykar are in battle with other two S rank UDF units. Sierrna is in battle with a tall girl who has water manipulations. They clash wave after wave of water. Rykar is in battle with a tall boy that looks kinda like the woman fighting Sierrna. Rykar is firing fireballs at the other man but he's firing fireballs right back over and over. The man summoned a sword made of fire with his manipulation and rushed after Rykar. Rykar summoned two swords with his manipulations and clashed with the other person's sword. The man smiled and slashed more ferociously. Rykar tried his hardest to defend but with the constant onslaught of attacks, his swords were shattered and the man jumped back and casted massive fireball that consumed Rykar!
"Rykar!!!!!" Sierrna shouted.
But the girl she was fighting took the opportunity while Sierrna was distracted. The woman threw a water spear piercing her side damaging Sierrna. Sierrna fell down to her knees and coughed up some blood. The girl went and sliced Sierrna's arm at the top of the shoulder. Sierrna grabbed the top of her arm where it was cut. The man who killed Rykar headed over to sierrna and the girl. Inside the flame, it starts to swirl into Rykar. He stands and starts to sprint out of the fire holding a small orb-like structure in his hand, blood dripping down his head. The girl looks and tries to warn the man it's too late. Rykar reaches the man and hits him with the orb,
"Infernal Eruption!!!" Rykar screamed.
Out from the orb comes a flame hotter than any before melting the person and blasting away everything in its path. While he's melting he shouts in pain yelling.
"I'm sorry sis."
Rykar after using the attack falls down and faints. The girl that the man shouted to looked in horror and started to sprint for the unconscious Rykar. She summoned hundreds of water spears and sent them towards Rykar. Sierrna summons a giant wall of water one last time before fainting tears in her eyes as she closes, although trying to keep them up she passes out from exhaustion. The girl summoned more spears again at Rykar. With both Rykar and Sierrna down for the count she throws them at both of them. The spears hit both of them. Blood splatters all over. The woman, enraged, summons one final volley. The ring that Val has starts to dim. The woman flings the final volley. Then all the sudden rock walls show up and block all the volleys. The woman who looked shocked and standing in front of the wall was Isha!
"You hurt my family, you will now pay." Isha stated.
The woman summoned a lance and attacked Isha. Isha avoided it and summoned a lighting sword and clashed with lance breaking it. Isha then used wind like little knives and sent them towards the woman cutting her in all areas of her body, Isha then summoned a giant lightning bolt and then coated it in fire along with wind to increase the flame. Isha threw it at the woman she tried to defend with a water wall but Isha's Bolt pierced right threw the water wall striking her straight on the woman fell down. The woman started to cast something. Isha looked at her and waved her hand. All the blood came rushing out of the woman. Isha looked shocked.
"I see you killed yourself to avoid embarrassment." Isha said.
She went over and checked on Rykar and Sierrna. They were both alive; she used some healing manipulations to heal the two and then brought them to the temple.
Back with Judge, Fay and Judge have finished their conversation. As viltro and Warhammer fight, Viltro summons an aura around his fist striking Warhammer down and running off towards Zero. Warhammer got up and tried to go after him. The judge stopped him. A figure appeared in front of them.
"So you're here also this will be interesting." Judge said.
"I've come to kill Fay the enslaver for betraying our order." The figure said.
"Come at me then I wont be an easy kill apostle of thanatos." Fay said while summoning shadows. The apostle and Fay began fighting, clashing shadows after shadows.
The Judge leaves with Warhammer heading towards the temple.
While Zero is running towards the temple, John is slashing everyone down who gets in the way of him and Zero. Zero can see the stairs to the temple, As he reaches the stairs he's pierced by a metal scrap and sent falling down the stairs. John descends down the stairs and corners Zero and encloses them in a metal box.
"You're done running boy." John said.
He formed a sword from the metal. He started to attack Zero as he was getting up and kicked him in the ribs sending him flying into the metal wall. He falls from the wall being rushed once again by John sent into another wall. Over and over again John kicked Zero into the walls.
"How is he so much faster and his strength is on a different level then what viltro trained me on. I can't keep up with how fast he'll hit me let alone dodge." Zero thought to himself.
"Won't you give up Zero and come with us to end this suffering, You're no match for me let alone judge and warhammer how can you hope to win if you cant even fight back." John shouted.
Zero stood up from the last wall and closed his eyes and remembered back to Viltro's training.
"You can do anything Zero as long as your body and mind are one, no foe can be too fast to see, no foe can be too hard to fight back. Just believe in yourself."
Zero started to look more serious, John rushed at him again, Zero avoided it, John, shocked by it, started to swing wildly, Zero constantly avoided over and over again infuriating John. Finally Zero slams his leg down on the sword and snaps it in half. John, now shocked, summons two more swords and rushes Zero, Zero keeps dodging.
"I can't keep dodging forever. I need a way to fight back." Zero thought to himself then all of the sudden Zero hears a voice call out to him
"Summon me Zero, call upon my name Demorshia." The voice echoed in Zeros' mind.
"Demorshia I call upon you please come to my aid!" Zero shouted while holding out his hand. A left curved like sword started to materialize in his hand.
John was shocked and petrified with fear.
"Why do you keep fighting, please just die." John shouted while lunging towards Zero.
Zero slashed Demorshia with grace breaking both swords into pieces. John summoned more and slashed at Zero again. Zero swung Demorshia again, breaking the swords again. John has a flashback to when he fought an ancient sword. John stopped summoning swords and started to summon spikes from the wall, Zero sliced all the spikes that kept coming at him getting faster with each slice. John surrounded Zero with spikes for all directions and sent them all at once. Zero swung in a spiral cutting all the spikes. John stopped trying to attack and just looked at Zero with amazement and dropped the metal box around them.
"Go Zero, I see there's no stopping you anymore." John said.
Zero turned around and headed towards the temple which was just now materializing four towers and a beam in the center opening a portal. Zero sees Isha, Rykar and Sierrna along with Rhyunous. Just as he's approaching Viltro appears in front of them.
"Quick you need to go, the judge will be here soon. But please leave Rhyunous with me so I can protect him." Viltro asked.
"Of course I don't want him in harm's way thank you for that viltro." Zero said.
Rhyunous runs over and hugs Zero and the rest while tears fall from their eyes. To them not knowing would be the last time they would all be together one last time. Viltro started the portal; it would take three minutes to be ready. Then a portal opened up and out came the judge, In front of John.
"Good work John, you may rest, I will deal with the rest." Judge said.
John flung metal at the judge. Judge turned around to face John.
"What is the meaning of this John?" Judge asked with an angry expression.
"I will not let you harm them anymore!!!" John said.
