C.I.3: The Battle of the Mega Titan

Chapter 16. Journey to the Top

Maladar's vision clears as the brightness fades to where the inside of the tower was visible. The air was cold and foggy. Cold enough to where Maladar's breath could be seen. He looks down at young Cyclone and noticed that he was barely breathing on his own. Maladar knew that he had to get to the top of the tower as quickly as possible. The Towers were indeed very strange structures. It was nothing like anyone had ever seen before. Every wall and every beam glowed dimly. Maladar located the staircase and began walking to the top. He finally had enough strength to walk under his own power with Cyclone in his arms. The walk to the top however wasn't easy. There were many different rooms and stairs. Some of the rooms can through Maladar off track and become lost. Thankfully, it wasn't Maladar's first time inside the Towers. He remembered every room by memory. Unfortunately, the climb seemed to take forever, especially in Maladar's condition. But he never gave up. He kept walking up the stairs endlessly. Finally, he arrived to the top floor. The room was much more normal than the rest of the Towers. It even had a bed nearby, which was the same room Georgey was in after being defeated by the Gang. The remains of a burned pillow still lied on the floor. There was still an extra pillow on the bed. He places Cyclone on the bed and covers him up with a blanket. "And now we wait." Maladar thought." The room glowed dim once more. He knew that he Tower's energy was already working on Cyclone. Maladar looks at him once more. He puts his hand on top of his head. "I am proud of you young one." He said to him softly. "You've become so brave. It impresses me. But the journey isn't over yet. Come back to us, and we will save the Island, it's power, and...and I will gladly help you save your brother. He needs you. Come back to us." The room flashes slowly as Maladar got back on his feet. He goes over to the window and looks down at the gang patiently waiting for him. He then looks over to where the Mega Titan stood in the distance. It had been centuries since Maladar last encountered Zinteren under similar circumstance. The condition of the Island reminded him of the terrible things Zinteren had done before. At this point, it was the worst he has ever done. It angered Maladar as his eyes grew wider. "You will be stopped." He whispered. "With whatever it takes." Maladar had the feeling that Zinteren was starring back at him through the office window of the Mega Titan telling him, "We shall see."
