The Wanderland: Rewritten

Chapter Eleven - The Final Battle

It was a rainy day. The droplets of water were falling down to the ground of an island. A massive island that one day could've been a place where people spent their holidays on. But not anymore. A giant castle was standing in the center of the island. A massive thunder cloud was looming over the castle, striking down thunderbolts around the island. Chris remembered a holiday he had spent with his family on an island. It was one of his best memories from the past. But those days were far behind.

Chris and Alice were standing in the rain, looking at the castle in front of them. This would be the end of their adventure, and it can only go two ways. "Well, this is it." Alice said. Chris nodded his head. "You know, Alice, all of this will end here. I just want to thank you for joining us." Chris said. "It's been an honor. You, Alex, the captain, you all just were too nice to me. Thank you." Alice responded. She started walking towards the castle, and Chris followed her. The castle looked pitch black. Chris was terrified, but something inside him kept telling him to move on. The gates to the castle were open. Evilor had left them open. He wanted to face the two alone. The lobby of the castle was big and decorated. There were paintings on the walls, an expensive-looking carpet on the floor, and beautiful plants all over the place. "At least Evilor has some good taste in decorations." Alice stated. They were walking on the big stairway that led to another floor of the castle. In front of them, there were huge doors that were made out of stone. "I've seen these doors in my dreams... or visions or whatever they were." Chris said. "Me too." Alice said. "Evilor is there." Chris pushed the doors open slowly.

The room in front of them was a round cave-like hall. It was the exact same room that Chris had seen in his dreams. "Ch- Chris?" they heard a sound from the other side of the room. There was a bald man and a woman with blonde hair, laying on the ground. "Mom? Dad?" Chris said and ran to the other side of the room. There they were. His parents were alive, a bit wounded, but alive. Chris couldn't believe his eyes. Chris' mom hugged him, but meanwhile she was hugging him, tears were falling out of her eyes. "Chris, you have to leave. You have to leave before he comes back." she said. Chris was crying too. He didn't want to let go. "I will get you out of here. Both of you. I promise." he said, and let go. "Not so fast, Chris." a voice said behind them. It was Evilor. There he was. More alive than ever. More real than ever. Sitting on his throne, and pointing his frightening yellow eyes towards Chris and Alice. "There you are. I've been waiting for you for quite a while!" Evilor said and laughed. "I saw you fighting my army out there. That was impressive. However, I will have to tell you that your silly bracelet has to recharge. You'll both be long dead before it's ready again. Or, you can join me. It is up to you." Evilor said. "Let my parents go. They have nothing to do with this. They don't deserve this." Chris said. "I will let them go. But only if you join me. Othewise... well, they'll die as fast as you will." Evilor said. "You're a monster." Alice said. "Sometimes you have to be a bit of a monster to succeed in life. You should know that, Alice." Evilor said. "I went through so many experiments. Experiments that I worked on for years. Experiments that would turn me into what I am now. A godlike creature. I saw the problems of this world and it's leaders. Problems that people either couldn't see, or didn't want to see. It was time to change that. I suffered a lot. I sacrificed a lot. But now I'm here. I have reached my goal." he continued. "That's not who you are. You did all of this because you are selfish." Chris said. Evilor stared at him. "I wouldn't speak like that if my parents' lives were on the line. Now, take a step forward. Lay down your sword, yes, I know you have one. Join my army." Chris looked at Evilor for a while. Then he his sword on the ground. He walked towards Evilor, slowly. "Chris! No!" Alice said. "There we go." Evilor said and smiled. "NOW!" Chris yelled and Alice threw Chris' sword onto Chris' hand. Chris sliced as hard as he could, and pierced Evilor's chest. "I thought you had finally learned." Evilor sighed. He pulled out the sword from his chest. His chest was completely fine. No wounds whatsoever. "You have made your decisions. Now suffer the consequences."
