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

Chapter 35. Valonamor

The Gang continued to walk for what seemed like hours. They finally reached an unusual structure. It was a large black castle. Maladar realized that Trixi had led the Gang to the Couragaristis Castle. Zinteren's personal home. It was built overtime by Zinteren's man-made powers. Wolfe and Zara were even more concerned about where Trixi had led them all to. "Are you crazy?!" Asked Wolfe angrily. "You just led us to the Lion's Den!" Zara pulls out her naginata and points it at her. "I KNEW we shouldn't have trusted her!" She said. Trixi stays calm and explains to the Gang what her plans were. "The one we need to see is imprisoned in this castle. All the Demons are up top. We're going to lower level." "We're not going anywhere!" Yelled Zara. "Didn't you say yourself that he was your ONLY friend in Couragaristis?" Trixi asked with her arms crossed. Wolfe realized that they were visiting Valonamor. The only one Wolfe and Zara ever trusted before leaving Couragaristis. Zara puts away her weapon and again apologizes to Trixi for her behavior. Trixi forgave her only because she knew how she felt about being back to Couragaristis. The Gang continues. They go into the castle and tried their best to not get noticed by any Illusion Demons nearby. Once they made it to where they was going, they find a dark but beautiful library. It was large and full of magic books. They spot a man sitting by a desk, staring into the yellow pages of a journal. As Maladar approaches cautiously after handling Cyclone to Trixi, the man suddenly summons dark magic out of his fingertips to warn him and the rest of the Gang. Maladar takes out the Gladiator to defend himself. The man spoke in a soft deep voice. "Why thou you come here, mortals?" Maladar's eyes widened. The Man's voice was vaguely familiar to him. He had not heard such words in centuries. "Speak up, or perish." The Man warned. Suddenly, Trixi, who was carrying Cyclone, spoke up to him. "Now you quit that Valonamor!" She demanded. "We have no time for your fancy little 'wisdom words!' I brought these people here because they need your help!" Valonamor evaporates his magic. "Trixi? Little sister! How dare you return when I'd CLEARLY told you to never come back!" "You can thank your idiot father for that brother!" The Gang was once again stunned by the relations between Trixi and Valonamor. "Brother?" Asked Maladar "Sister?" Asked Psycho. "Silence!" Snapped Valonamor. "This is a conversation between me and my little sister!" "Yes." Said Trixi rubbing her eyes with embarrassment. "He's my brother. I know, we look nothing alike. He's a bit overly dramatic." "Silence!" Demanded Valonamor. Trixi turns around and pokes him in the chest. "Don't you silence me little man!" She said. "Remember what the last time you told me what to do?" Valonamor crosses his arms. "I wish not to be reminded of such events!" He exclaimed. "Uh-huh." Said Trixi. "I didn't think so." Wolfe and Zara walk up to him as well. "Valonamor." He said quietly. "Its true. We need your help." Valonamor puts is fingers under his chin with a bit of confusion. "Wolfe and Zara." He said softly. "I am indeed surprised that you've returned so quickly. Why do you wish to come here unnoticed and who may I ask are these mortals that come before you?" Wolfe tries to explain everything in every detail to Valonamor. "Zinteren is on a rampage on Courage Island. He's already killed so many people. We tried to stop him, but one of his B.O.Ts used a Titan Bomb to bring us here." Valonamor was beginning to wonder about the Gang's presence in his library. "You try, but fail to bring my father down." He said. "You must be the rebellious gang I've heard so much about." Suddenly, he looks over to his sister with a not so pleased look on his face. "You! You've joined them?!" Trixi snaps back. "They saved my life!" "That is no excuse!" Valonamor continued. "You're only getting yourself into more trouble! You fighting against your own father! Bah!" "He's no father of mine!" Yelled Trixi. "He created us! Remember?" Valonamor slams his fist on the desk. "The point is that you shouldn't be with these people! They will be the death of you some day!" He becomes furious and summons his dark magic once more. "And I shall not let that happen!" He fires his magic while aiming for the C.I.Gang, Maladar blocks his attack with the Gladiator. Valonamor summons his own sword to attack back fairly. The Gang stood by and watched as the duel took place. Finally, Valonamor was stopped by Maladar. Angrily staring back. He helps himself up while holding on to the edge of his desk. Papers and writing utensils were scattered after the short tussle was over.
