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

Chapter 36. The Portal

The Gang was getting tired of Valonamor's resistance. Still angry, he commits on Maladar's skills. "Impressive." He said propped against his desk. "You've blocked my every move." He gets up and puts his sword away. "You cut that out!" Yelled Trixi while still holding Cyclone. Valonamor notices him and finally calms down enough to ask her. "Who's the boy?" She looks down at him. "He's with us." Trixi explained. "His head injury has weakened him." Valonamor goes over to them. He feels the top of Cyclone's head. "He's lucky to be alive." He said. "But barely." This worried the Gang. "What's wrong with him?" Asked Wolfe. Valonamor explains. "The child's skull has almost split into half. Did anything else happen to him after the concussion?" "An Illusion Demon made him go crazy not too long ago." Said Zara. "I was afraid of that." Said Valonamor. "The Demon found an opening to the young boy's mind. Your friend could possibly die from this." The Gang all looked at one another with concern. Valonamor adjusts his glasses. "Its a good idea you brought him here." Suddenly, he walks away to another location in the library. He goes over to the laboratory area. He takes a glass bottle of dark purple enchanted potion. Maladar was sceptical. "What is that?" He asked. Valonamor ignores the question and walks back to Cyclone and Trixi. He takes the cork out of the bottle. "Open his mouth." He said to Trixi. She did just that. Valonamor puts a total of seven drops of the potion into Cyclone's mouth. Valonamor puts the cork back into the bottle. Suddenly, Cyclone immediately awakens. He tries to get up, but Trixi had a good grip to him. "What's going on?" He asked confusingly. "Where am I?" "Easy!" Trixi begged. The Gang was happy that Cyclone was alert, but was also confused about how he had awakened so quickly. "What did you give him?" Maladar asked Valonamor. As Valonamor puts the potion away, he replied. "This potion completely numbed his pain. It is only half done healing him. The rest will close the crack in his skull like glue. It will make him look like as if he had never been hurt." "How long will it take for the healing to prosses?" Asked Wolfe. "Approximately an hour from now." Said Valonamor. "He shall live afterwards." Cyclone confusing asked the Gang. "Who is this guy?" The Gang explains to him about what was going on while he was unconscious. At first, he couldn't quite understand, but he eventually did as the potion continued to heal him. He holds his head. "I'm feeling kind of dizzy." He explained. Finally, the Gang continued to ask Valonamor if there was an exit out of the Couragaristis Dimension. Valonamor stubbornly stays silent, but Wolfe explains to them. "There is a portal that leads out of here." "Its true." Said Zara. "Do you remember how to get there?" Asked Maladar. "Me and Zara found the portal out of sheer luck." Wolfe explained. "We honestly don't remember how to get there." "I do." Said Trixi. "It is not that very far from here." "Then we best get moving." Said Maladar. The rest of the Gang agreed. Valonamor still didn't like the idea about them facing Zinteren, especially with his sister involved. "You're all insane if you think you can stop him!" He said. "My Father's army will kill you all!" Maladar steps in. "Maybe so, but we have all dedicated our lives to protect what is rightfully ours." Valonamor then looks at Trixi. "Don't you dare go with them." He demanded. "You know I've always wanted to help people." She said. "This is what I was ment to do." Finally accepting defeat, Valonamor gives up on talking scene into them. "You mortal fools." He said, grinding his sharp teeth. "If you wish to destroy yourselves, then so be it!" He leaves them behind to continue with his research. The Gang decided that it was time to leave the Castle and find the Portal.
