When they ascended from the underworld to the human world, they saw the guardians of heaven waiting for them. For the first time in history, they only have one goal— it is to defeat the current king, Reiki. From silver ones, the prince's twin katanas turned into black ones. Riku will follow later as he still needs to assure himself that the queen is safe. As expected, Yuuki chose Reiki's side. It is two men against the two kingdoms. 

"My queen." Riku called for Gia a few times and slowly, she stirred from her sleep. She opened her eyes and saw Riku waiting for her to wake up. 

"Finally." He mumbled before heaving a sigh of relief. She sat down on the bed and suddenly remembered what happened before she fainted. 

"You're Riku, right? You're the real Riku." Tears dwelled up once more and he nodded. At one point, she doesn't know how she will be able to accept the truth. 

She is feeling overwhelmed. A part in her heart is telling her that the person in front of her will make her genuinely happy. She reached for his cheeks and he rested his forehead on hers. She started sobbing softly and she can't believe that she is feeling relieved that he is Fuyu's real father. Maybe it is because she doesn't want any one of them to suffer more. 

"I'm sorry for making you sad and cry. I didn't mean it.. I needed to do it to keep you safe. Sho and I— we did those things to keep you and Fuyu safe from Reiki. I'm sorry for hiding the truth from you." He started explaining and she cried more, realizing that both men only want to keep them safe and away from pure evil. 

"I love you. I really do. I'm asking you to give me a chance to prove it to you. I want a happy and complete family with you. I'll make it up to you and Fuyu." He continued. She shut her eyes and more tears fell. 

"Riku, you're real, right? I'm not dreaming, right?" She whispered and he nodded many times. The truth set them free and happiness will come along soon. 

"I hate you for keeping it all to yourself. Is this how you treat your queen?" She started to hit his chest lightly with her fist. 

"I longed for love and comfort. I longed for warmth and safety. I longed for happiness and assurance. Can you give those to me?" She added and he held her hands and placed kisses on it. 

"Yes, my queen. I will give those to you. As much as you want. Everything you deserve as my queen." He cupped her cheeks and wiped her tears. 

They suddenly heard someone banging the door, so Riku quickly stood up and materialized a black and gold one-handed sword. The door burst open and the guard almost screamed for help when Riku suddenly pressed the sharp edge against his neck. He heaved a sigh when the king finally put the sword away from his neck. 

"My king, the war has started already. We need you there." The guard said and he nodded. The sword on his hand disappeared and he turned to her to kiss her forehead. 

"Stay here. Keep yourself and the little princess safe." He said but she shook her head and stood up. 

"No. I want to go with you. Let's fight together. You're not alone anymore. You got me now." They heard some creatures screaming outside when a part of the kingdom exploded. 

They rushed out of the kingdom, flapping their black wings out while running before soaring high to fly to the human world. When they arrived, they saw the married couple fighting against their own son while the deity, Makoto, was fighting against Reiki. It is Kazuma's condition to him in exchange for the reincarnated Lauren. Hokuto and Itsuki were eliminating Reiki's spawns and then, when Gia looked at the side, she saw her son, Ryu with Lauren. Above them are the nephalems. They can't do anything for the war. They can't interfere. 

It is painful for the queen to see her grandson fighting his own parents. All she can blame for it is Reiki. Things will not turn out like this if he didn't become greedy for power and everything. Riku materialized his black and gold twin swords when he saw Makoto falling down to the ground after being hit with a fireball. Indeed, Reiki is stronger than Makoto but he can't let any more people die in his hands. He, once, killed his own little brother and there's a possibility that he will do it again. 

"Finally, you're here. Oh, the queen is already awake." Reiki grinned widely while brushing his long hair through his fingers. 

"This will be your end. You need to be stopped." Riku said. The older twin raised a brow and raised his hand before snapping, making his spawns stop for a while. 

"Did you hear that? He said that it will be my end now." Gia gritted her teeth when the spawns started laughing. 

"You bastard." She growled and her eyes turned dark red. Bow and arrows appeared in front of her and her arms were suddenly covered with gold and black chains that links to the sleeve of her red satin gown. 

"I'm the one who kill you, you fucking bastard." Fuyu smiled viciously and her black wings grew larger as it was lifting her higher. 

"You dare, Princess." Reiki smirked and he got a two-handed sword to counterattack. His face became serious when Fuyu and Riku started attacking him from both sides while Gia released an arrow towards his direction.
