The Orso Loobas and Miletis continued to fight and bicker. Ruth looked all around, trying to find his father.

He found his dad arguing with another person.

“Hey, dad!” Ruth called out.

His father, Cedric, stopped upon hearing the call from a distance. “Son, is that you?”

“Yeah, it is! I’m glad I found you!” Ruth ran over to his father as the two hugged.

“Have you escaped from those Miletis?”

“How many times do we have to tell you?” A Mileti questioned. “We had nothing to do with—”

“Liar!” Cedric retorted.

“No, stop fighting!” Ruth yelled out.

“Why?” Cedric asked.

“I have something to tell you; it’s about grandpa!”

“Wait. What? Are you serious?”

The ground shook again, almost as if it broke apart. Everyone stopped fighting and turned around, only to find the volcano about to burst and erupt.

“Everybody, panic and run!” The groups shouted.

.-.-.-.

Aehaby, Stels, and Papeht teleported on top of a platform and checked the area and volcano in front of them.

“What the— are we too late?” Papeht inquired.

“We need to evacuate everyone down there as soon as possible!” Stels pointed out.

“But where to?”

“I think I got an idea.” Aehaby proclaimed. “Listen carefully; I’m only going to say it once...”

.-.-.-.

“Oh god, it’s getting hot in here...” Antonio whined as he continued to run, his body tiring out from all the running.

“Will you stop complaining?” Tommy retorted, sprinting as best as he can.

As the group made it to a dead end, they stood on top of a circular platform. Maggie used the red gem in her hand to try and control the lava below.

Just then, the lava rose fast as the group held on for dear life. The volcano threw the platform out as the group jumped off and landed on some higher plains.

“Oh god, that was a close one.” Tommy sighed in relief. “But where do we go from here?”

“I can’t believe I failed though...” Antonio muttered, looking away.

“Dude, get a hold of yourself. You should know that Kira’s not what you think she is.” Tommy told him.

“I’m sure he’ll get over it...” Maggie shrugged.

“But what about the red gem?” Antonio asked.

“Forget about that!” Maggie thundered. “Right now, we need to find a way off of this random floating platform! In fact, why is there one of these, anyway?”

The three wondered how this happened. The lands of the unknown broke apart all around them due to the occurrences that preceded them.

Antonio glanced at Maggie’s hand, which still had the red gem inside. He proceeded with caution and crept towards it. Without her noticing, he snatched away the jewel from her disposal and jumped off the platform.

“Hey, give that back!” Maggie turned and shouted.

Tommy rushed over to chase after Antonio and try to get back the gem as the two went from floating platform to platform to one-up another. Eventually, Antonio caught the gem from his hands. He stopped in his place and stared at the jewel.

No way, I can’t believe it. I got the very last one. He thought to himself as he looked up at the dark magenta sky. “Are you happy, Kira?”

“Oh, yes, I am proud of you. You’ve done well.” Kira replied as she descended to meet with him face to face. She levitated the gem off of his hands and placed it inside the last slot of the crown. “However, before I can use this, I will need one last thing. And only then, will I be able to harness its true power...”

“But what would that be?”

“A body...”
