Mind Reality of Eclipse

The Finishing Touches To This Fight ~ Chapter 146

"Alright, we are all together, let's get this plan started," Shez sighed as he looked at the heroes. They looked at each other and smiled. Shez took a deep breath and put his hand on his chest. "Our plan, we're going to do what exactly?"

The heroes all stood there thinking for a bit, but then they recalled the conversation they had with one another earlier in the month... the conversations about the plans.

Shez mumbled, "Zethus is corrupting his body, the key is to get rid of Zethus from corrupting Byleth's body. I believe our best option is to break the crown. If we break the crown we can free everyone from Zethus' command and his reign will finally end."

"Our plan is to break the crown from Byleth's head, then we will be able to free everyone from his command and Zethus' reign will come to a full closure," Shez explained.

Celica said, "Alright, we know what the plan is... what do you all suggest we're going to be dealing with?"

"We're probably going to deal with Zethus and Rafal, he has the heroes in custody and we're unsure what he's going to do with them at the time being but in case of them being used to go against us..." Shez explained. Soon their voices became muffled as Alcryst looked at the door in front of them.

Alcryst muttered, "Zethus hated me from the beginning, calling me a demon. I wonder what I did to him in order to be called such a way..."

Byleth laughed, "There you are again! You're 100% that demon! I will make sure that after I get the scroll and the book you'll be SEALED AWAY!"

"Seriously! What are you talking about?! I'm not trying to do anything wrong! I'm trying to help you better understand yourself!"

Alcryst sighed, "I never knew how much those words would hurt in the end... Zethus really despises me but what did I do to him? All I did was attempt to stop him in his plans and he called me a demon for it... could it be..."

"ALCRYST!"

"GAH!! W-WHAT?!" Alcryst asked while panicked. The heroes looked at him as he looked at them in worry.

Celica asked, "Sorry, are you alright? You didn't seem to respond to us when we were calling your name. You were really lost in thought."

"No, don't worry too much about me, I just was thinking about the heroes," Alcryst sighed, but he knew he was lying. The heroes looked at him as they looked at each other.

Shez sighed, "I miss the heroes so much. We're going to free them, don't you worry about it Alcryst." Alcryst nodded slowly as he looked at the heroes.

"What did you want to talk to me about? You were calling my name, I apologize for not responding," Alcryst sighed. The heroes looked at him as Shez cleaned himself.

Shez explained, "We're going to need you to stay back and deal with the possibility of the other heroes attacking us. Can you do that?"

"Yes... I can," Alcryst sighed.

Shez described, "I'm going to be dealing with Zethus myself. This won't be that hard, trust me." The heroes looked at him and nodded. They seemed to have the entire plan ready, and they were more than prepared to get rid of Zethus once and for all.

"We're all set right? Let's make sure Zethus is destroyed for good and that we free the heroes!" Veyle cheered. The heroes nodded as Alcryst kept staring up at the castle. He looked down at his hands and then took a deep breath.

"Why are you awake... Why are you still following me... DEMON!"

"YOU ARE ONE ONLY DEMONS THAT FOLLOW ME THROUGH THE NIGHT!!" Byleth shouted. He looked like he was shaking from fear. Alcryst stood there staring at him. "WHY WOULD YOU BE UP!?"

Byleth shouted, "THAT'S WHAT A DEMON DOES!"

Alcryst thought, "Demon, Demon, Demon... that's all what this madman thinks of me. I'll show him who the demon is, I won't have Zethus try to push me down anymore longer. His reign ends now, I'm sorry Shez... I'll deal with Zethus on my own."

Shez laughed, "Alright, we're all set! Are you ready, Alcryst?" Alcryst nodded as the heroes all stood there together. The heroes all together did a high five but Alcryst didn't join. He looked back at the heroes and opened the doors to the castle.

Kirby cheered, "Let's get going-" Then the doors shut on them. "W-What!?" The heroes tried to open the doors but they were unsuccessful. The doors were locked.

Shez asked, "How are we going to get in now?!" The heroes looked around and soon noticed that Alcryst was missing. "Where did Alcryst go?!"

Celica asked, "Is he inside?! ALCRYST!! YOU NEED TO GET OUT OF THERE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!!" The heroes tried their hardest to open the doors but there was no luck.

Alcryst sighed, "I'm sorry heroes, I'm doing what I need to do." Then he saw someone opening the doors in the distance. It was Zethus, he smiled at Alcryst as Alcryst stared back at him.

"Welcome... welcome, I sure hope you will enjoy your stay here at the Netherworld castle... my home," Zethus Byleth giggled. Alcryst stood there glaring at him as Zethus Byleth looked down at himself.

Alcryst muttered, "Zethus..."
