7 Chapter 6: Alliance

Zilong went beside Lapu-Lapu, who is still covered with bandages. "Lapu-Lapu, you know Chang'e all along?" he asked, looking at his bandaged face.

"Ah, yes. You didn't bother asking. She is a very friendly kid," Lapu-Lapu replied, "too bad she was captived by that bastard.." he added.

Rafaela walked closer to them, looking at Zilong in the eyes.

"Zilong, don't lose hope. Let's team up together to rescue Chang'e, along with Kagura and the others." she said.

"We are closer to the Dark Abyss, only a couple more days and we'll get there," Hayabusa said, "We should get ready, now we know that they have Helcurt, Balmond, Selena, and Karina on their side." He added.

Rafaela having a huge amount of hope, summoned the Guardians...

"If that's the case, Uranus will be your comrade along with Kaja. I'll stay here with Lolita to protect the palace," she said.

"Thanks, its a lot of help. We'll cross to the Dark Forest after that will be the Dark Abyss. Let's prepare ourselves," Zilong said.

After a few minutes of recovery, they asked for a blessing for their army so they can do the rescue mission correctly.

Zilong stood infront of his army. "It's time to continue our expedition," he said.

So Zilong's Army set off track and went inside the Dark Forest. They saw alot of different creatures big and small. They also stumbled upon a small house with red walls and a nice grey roof.

The sun just went down, and the whole forest is covered with darkness. Fortunately Lapu-Lapu brought a torch from his island.

A few moments later Hayabusa heard a howling noise inside a bush a few kilometers away. He reported it to Zilong.

"We should check it out to see if there are survivors in this Forest." Zilong said.

They went to where the howling noise is coming from and as they go closer Tigreal saw a large wolf looking at them in a far distance. It's eyes are pure red, shiny sharp teeth with a grumbling noise that seems like its about to slaughter someone.

While staring at them, Tigreal decided to swing his sword to ignite a medium light that moved far away ,giving Zilong a sight to what it is.

They saw alot of wolves behind the wolf that Tigreal saw earlier.

"Everyone.. Prepare yourselves." Tigreal commanded.

As soon as he said that the wolves started running towards them. It made a large noise that was heard the Celestial Palace.

"Can anyone hear that?" Rafaela asked, "it seems like it came from the Dark Forest." she added

"That's the same destination Zilong and the others are taking right now. I wish they were ok" Lolita said.

Tigreal pierced his shield into the ground and enraged in anger, knockbacking the enemies.

But that didn't stop them from going back.

Zilong unleashed his true form, blazing in Dragon's energy. He slashed his spear wolf by wolf and hooks them until they die. Hayabusa threw his shurikens with Hanabi and striked the enemy from their katana slicing the wolves into pieces.

The large wolf stared Lapu-Lapu for a second, following it with a fast jump on his face. Zilong hooked the wolf, making Lapu-Lapu rage. He combined his dual blade and made a big sword. He swung the sword in a forward direction causing the big wolf to die.

But then a new horde of wolves started showing up.

"Oh man, it looks like we need to try harder." Tigreal said.

The new horde of wolves started to run to their army until suddenly they heard a slight off-key Guitar sound.

"Where the hell is the sound coming from?" Hayabusa asked.

A man holding a guitar case came out in the shadows.
