John summoned all the metal in the area and started to fight the judge. Judge stopped the metal from reaching him. John released an aura and the metal started to move faster at the judge. Judge at the sudden speed enhancement was caught off guard.
"I know you, You're the cowardly king who ran away nine years ago." Judge said with a smile.
"I never thought I would be able to atone for that sin but I finally found a way I will give my life to protect them!" John said while summoning more metal into an armor around him.
Judge rushed John slicing at him with the air cutting the metal in half john counter with the metal forming it around him once more. Judge kept chipping away at the metal but again John kept reinforcing the metal. Viltro realizing what he's doing tells the group.
"No, he can't sacrifice himself for us." Zero said. Zero tried to run to him but Viltro grabbed him.
"Don't make his sacrifice worthless Zero." Viltro said.
Zero stopped and went back waiting for the portal to be ready. While Judge was constantly attacking John he broke through and sliced John in the heart. John's life flashed before his eyes to that day.
John was sitting on a throne surrounded by his knights when all of the sudden a person burst through the door and was screaming.
"Thanatos is here and coming to wage war!"
"Wait this day again?" John thought to himself while reliving the day again.
"Quick everyone to the front line, we need to push him back." John told the knights, they all left the room and went to fight. A lady in fancy armor appeared with long white-sliver like hair.
"You need to go and bring him with you. Run away, I'll stay and fight King Thanatos for you in your stead." The woman said.
John looked at her and agreed and left the throne room, he grabbed a child's hand and brought him with them while they fled the castle.
"This is when I should have made a stand instead of being a coward." John thought after relieving him leaving the woman. John and the kid ran as far as they could. Eventually John and the kid are attacked, John leaves the kid and runs away.
"No you coward go back don't leave him. Every since that day, I watched you from afar and hated you wouldn't ever give up every time i've tried to stop your progress you would beat the challenge and become stronger, I've always watched you all this time so this will be my final thing to protect you Zero I won't leave you like I did nine years ago I will not falter."
John started to reach into the sky and summoned a meteorite of metal. Which he sent toward the Judge striking him all over. The judge couldn't dodge all of them, ripping his clothes to shreds revealing his chest with a giant scar down the middle. Judge infurious slammed all the rocks down and pelted John, crushing his legs and arms with the rocks then ripping them off with his gravity manipulation. John falls to the ground coughing blood up
"At least I know he'll be safe. I saved him. I'll be joining you soon. He thinks of the woman in the armor.
"Your son is safe." John said.
Judge hearing that goes up to him and opens his book to the last page and lets him read it. John's face turns to pure fear as he dies.
"You just read how Zero dies. Now you'll die with no hope." Judge said while closing the book.
Judge then turned his attention to the group. Just as he started walking forward Warhammer reappeared. Vero then showed up behind the group crying and blood all over him bleeding from his head and arm.
"Zero, Zero, She's dead, they killed my mom. Fay's dead!" Vero screamed. The rest of the group shocked by this news looked really sad.
"Who could have killed her?" Zero questioned.
"The apostle showed up and killed her. I barely escaped." Vero said while holding his arm in pain. Zero checked the camera set up by the school and there he saw from one of the broken windows was a shadowed figure starting at Fay. Who was hanged by her own whip.
Judge smiled and ordered the Warhammer forward. Viltro stepped up and summoned a sword made of steel. The portal activated.
"Go now, escape, I'll hold off Judge and Warhammer!" Viltro screamed while rushing the Warhammer in battle.
Zero grabbed everyone and ran into the portal leaving Rhyunous behind while also leaving all their soul rings behind for them. The group escaped through the portal. Judge rushed towards the portal. Viltro was locked in battle with Warhammer and couldn't get to him. Just as Judge was reaching the portal an old man appeared with one arm wearing a cloak with only a right eye. Judge stopped right in his tracks.
"You will not go any further." The old man said. With a threatening tone.
"I'm going to kill them." Judge said.
"It's not written that they die here, Judge." The old man said.
"And what if I chose to rewrite it old man?" Judge asked.
"I'll kill you right now where you stand." The old man warned Judge with an enormous aura surrounding him. Judge was on guard and called back Warhammer. The warhammer refused, the Judge grabbed the warhammer and dragged him away from Viltro.
"We're leaving Warhammer, we can't fight Chronos." Judge said.
He opened a portal and both him and Warhammer disappeared. Viltro looked over at Chronos.
"I didn't expect you to show up." Viltro said.
"Well it seemed like it was the time to intervene. It's almost like the first time isn't Viltro?" Chronos said.
They both looked up to the sky. Viltro picked up Rhyunous and left to head to the remains of one united high. They arrived and saw all the destruction and death left by the judge, people crying, students trying to heal one another. Arden was seen opening up the ground, making coffin sized holes, he was burying his comrades while someone treated his severed arm. Val saw Viltro and Rhyunous; she ran over to them and hugged Rhyunous and started to cry.
"I'm so glad you're ok." Val said, crying.
"Val, it's ok big bro protected me." Rhyunous reassured her.
"So then it worked. Zero escaped through the portal?" Val asked.
Viltro stepped up to Val and grabbed her and brought her and Rhyunous to the center of the courtyard in the school.
"If I may have your attention. I know today seems like a tragedy and absolute loss, but he did it. Zero and the rest of the group escaped Judge. They are safe." Viltro announced to the remaining students.
All the students that were all depressed, crying and upset. Heard viltro's word and gave a little smile not enough to stop the awful feeling of thousands of deaths flowing over them the atmosphere was depressing but Viltro's word lighten a little. Viltro walked over to a grave built by the students, He kneel down and prayed.
"Fay, your sacrifice wasn't in vain, your son and the rest escaped and I wish I had more time to tell you about your real dad. I'm sorry. I wasn't strong enough to fight Judge. Please forgive me."
The students surrounded Viltro, Melody picked up Viltro off the ground.
"I'm sure she knows and don't beat yourself up Mr.Viltro. There's nothing else we could have done. We trained for a whole year and none of us could even move a muscle under Judge's power."
"You're right there's only one thing to do, I'll rebuild one untied high."
Arden with all the students chimed in,
"We will rebuild one united high, together!"
