Encountered

Three days have passed, Yi decided travelling back to the Moniyan Empire, after leaving the Maze of Minos. Gusion practiced all day and night, trying to master the art of dark magic, also called chaos. When Yi could see the great wall of Moniya, he knew they were here. The giant wall extended for thousands of miles, used as protection from invaders.

"Rooney, we're here now." Yi said, talking through Beta, Rooney's prototype.

"Good. Be safe there commander." Rooney replied.

"Heroes! We're here, so be ready!"

The heroes who were sleeping woke up, and started to pack up their bags. Gusion looked down on the necklace Lunox gave him.

"Miss Lunox, we'll defeat the Abyss and bring Eruditio back. I promise." Gusion whispered to himself.

As soon as they saw the Airship Hangar used by the Moniyan Empire, they started descending. Things were going smoothly, when they saw S.A.B.E.R. agents closing in and pointing their guns on the airship.

"Sh*t! We're surrounded!" Gusion shouted.

"Well, it could be because of your crime Gusion." Alucard said.

"I didn't do anything! Lancelot framed me!"

As soon as they landed, they came closer, and started surrounding the entire airship.

"Everyone! Put your hands in the air!" an agent said.

It seemed everyone was there. Johnson, Rafaela, Saber and Cyclops was there. When they saw Alucard and Hayabusa going down the airship, they got confused. Gusion refused to go down the airship and hid inside.

"Hey, you two,what are you guys doing inside that airship?" Saber asked.

"We're not baddies. We just came back from Eruditio." Hayabusa said.

"Is Paxley here? He has a warrant of arrest."

"N-No. I-I don't think so."

"Really? Because his friends are here. We'll go check inside. Agents, inspect the airship!"

The agents started going up the ladder, and got inside. They checked all over the airship, but Gusion was nowhere to be found. Lesley and Ruby was standing, confused where Gusion was.

"Where's onii-chan?" Ruby whispered to Lesley's ear.

"I don't know." she replied.

Since all the S.A.B.E.R. agents were on the left side of the airship, Gusion saw the chance to escape. He drank an invisibility potion from his bag, and went to escape.

"Where's Gusion, Alucard?" Yi asked.

"So he's here?" Cyclops asked. "Alucard, what the hell is..."

"I'm sorry I had to."

"S.A.B.E.R. agents, go find Paxley before he escapes!"

And everyone started searching around the giant parking lot, near the Hangar. Gusion had already escaped into the forest. When his invisibility potion ran out, one of the S.A.B.E.R. agents saw him.

"Mission, Paxley is in the forest! Repeat, he is in the forest!"

"Crap. They caught me."

Gusion ran as fast as he could. He passed through lots of jungle monsters, but he was too fast. The jungle monster attacked the S.A.B.E.R. agent when it saw him. Gusion ran and ran, until the agent caught up with him. He used a stun gun and Gusion got electrocuted. The agent pointed his gun to Gusion, who was on the ground.

"Hands down Paxley! There's nowhere for you to go."

All of a sudden, a jungler who saw the two of them, started attacking the agent. She cabled from tree to tree, continuously slashing through the agent. She was wearing a mask, and she was armed with two blades. She freed Gusion, who was handcuffed. When she took off her mask, it was Fanny.

"Come with me Gusion. You can explain everything when we reach the capital."

"O-Okay."

"Arrival, Moniyan Castle!"

The two of them started flying towards the castle, after three seconds, they were already there. Zilong and Freya were guarding the gates to the inside. When they got inside, King Tigreal was waiting for them in the room where they last met weeks ago.

"Pleased to see you, Your Highness." Gusion bowed.

"Gusion Paxley. It's you. I heard about happened in Antoinerei."

"Y-Yeah."

"Ok, lets talk about the rules here in the Kingdoms of Light. You do know that chaos magic is banned here, right?"

"No I didn't. I never knew it was illegal, nor did I know it was a thing."

"I know. And I also heard about your duel with Lancelot. The two of you have been such bitter rivals."

"I hated him. But this dark energy, it consumed me. When I woke up, everyone from S.A.B.E.R. was chasing me. I swear."

"The dark energy... It has been known to take over your mind Gus." Fanny said. "It's so hard to control it. That's why we banned it here."

Gusion's necklace started glowing. Some particles of dust formed into a golden portal, similar to what he saw in the Maze of Minos.

"L-Lunox?!"

"Say who???"

Lunox started walking out of the portal, as it disappeared behind her. When Tigreal and Fanny saw Gusion bowing, they did the same.

"It is I, Lunox. The Twilight Goddess, the Zodiac Libra." She said.

"Miss Lunox, what are you doing here?!"

"Gusion Paxley, you said this place banned the dark magic right?"

"The Twilight Goddess! This dark force has destroyed so much..."

"Because you people never knew how to control it. I say you teach your apprentices from the Moniyan Academy to learn the power of dark magic."

"B-But our..."

Lunox enclosed her hands and started to summon a dark orb. When she passed it onto Gusion, he turned it into a sword, practicing it for three days.

"G-Gusion! How did you do that?".Fanny asked.

"It has to be controlled young girl. It can be used as a weapon to destroy, but it can also be used to create. However only Twilights like us can control both of it. Gusion is rare, just like me."

"That's amazing..."

Suddenly, Zilong interrupted them when he opened the gate.

"Your Highness, the S.A.B.E.R. forces are here." he said.

When they walked in, Gusion saw them walking armed with guns. Ruby, Layla, and the others were handcuffed. The agents saw Gusion and pointed their guns at him.

"Your Highness! Gusion is a criminal! You mustn't!" an agent said.

Lunox shot a dark orb onto the S.A.B.E.R. agent. When she snapped her fingers, the handcuffs got removed.

"T-Twilight Goddess, what are you..."

"I am offended seeing one call Paxley a criminal for using dark magic. The Land of Dawn really has changed after a thousand years! Tigreal, I say you legalize the use of dark magic all over the country, and lift all their crimes."

"As you wish."

Lunox then banished the S.A.B.E.R. agents from the castle. Saber took Layla's hand as they left the castle. Layla got Saber's hand off her arm.

"Layla, you can't do this. You chose to be..."

Claude handed over the cloning machine to Layla and she cloned herself. Layla and Claude ran back to the castle, leaving the cloned version behind.

"Sure! I'll come with you Saber!"

"Oh thank goodness. Let's go now."

Saber didn't know he was with a clone. Back in the castle, Lunox was continuing her demands.

"And also, I've decided. Take back all your territories, as this war will never end unless you act. As long as no more people have to die, there is peace and balance. I will stop you if your forces try to invade the Abyssal Lands." Lunox said.

And she started floating in the air. The two orbs on her shoulders revolved rapidly around her. In a blink of an eye, she disappeared into the air.

"Heroes of Dawn, this meeting is over now. You are free to go where you please. Return tommorow at 8 in the morning." Tigreal said.

Lesley and Ruby ran over to Gusion, and hugged him tight. The others left the castle with no plans in mind.

"So Gusion, where do you want to go now?" Lesley asked.

"Are you guys free?" he asked.

"Yes we are Onii-chan! We'll go with you!" Ruby said.

"Good. Let's have some lunch, shall we?"

"Yes!"
