Revelation

The Result of Buried Madness

Hey, guys! I hope you enjoy this chapter! Happy reading!

A deep rumbling shook the entire room and Jack's head jerked to where the huge statue of the mysterious face was, the aura from North entering it through the many cracks and making it come to life.

"...This is...Emmanouil."

The statue shifted its gaze and chuckled, and Jack raised his eyebrows. "I've been waiting, Jack."

"Emmanouil... You've manipulated many people's lives. Atone for this sin with your life!"

The statue seemed to grin. "...What's so terrible about manipulating people? ...People are only filthy creatures that have forgotten its place in the world - forgotten its benefactors. People cannot do a thing without me!

"Even so, why?!" the statue screamed. "Why must I suffer alone? Why must I face my death? Why can only mankind prosper... And only I continue to suffer?! Why?!" Emmanouil shook his head and gave out a ferocious roar, causing some the debris to fall dangerously close on the army. "Answer me, humans!"

Jack raised his sword. "Tch! How's this for an answer?!"

He ran up to the towering statue, bringing Guardian down with a mighty slash...

Which didn't even make Emmanouil flinch.

What...? Not even the Guardian can leave a scratch on him?! thought Jack.

"You dare bare your fangs toward me, Jack?" Emmanouil, coming dangerously closer to him, laughed cruelly. "Then I will end your life first. And then, your body will be mine. YOU who've inherited my powerful blood... Are only fit to be my puppet!"

Eugene came running up beside Jack. "We won't let that happen!! Everyone, protect Jack!"

"We will defend him with all our strength! We won't hand Jack over to you!" Hiccup added, on the other side of Jack.

"How impudent... Do not interfere, human scum!"

"Uwaah!"

"Gaaah!"

"Kyaaah!"

"Everyone!" Jack screamed as his comrades were hit with magical spheres from the Invisible King. He turned back to Emmanouil.

At this rate, everyone...will be killed, Jack thought grimly. He clutched Guardian tighter in his grasp. I need you to give me more power...! The power to protect everyone... The power to make this war end.....!!

Then, a soft blue light started emanating from Merida's bow, the DunBroch. She and Jack shared an incredulous look before she gasped and pointed to Galaxy, whose tome, the Altea, was glowing in the same way as well. Galaxy, in turn, stared unbelievably at Hiccup and Eugene's swords, which had also started glowing.

"What? This light..." There was awe in Hiccup's voice, as he looked at Night Fury with a disbelieving gaze.

Eugene gripped Corona, the same look on his face. "It can't be...the five divine weapons... They're resonating?"

"That's right... The Rainbow Sage said this would happen... To complete the Fire Emblem, we needed the five divine weapons...!" Jack gave them all a determined smile, nodding. "All right, everyone, hold your weapons high!"

Together, as his four chosen siblings raised their legendary weapons up high, Jack brought the Guardian up as well. The moment his sword touched the others, it was encased in a bright white light, showing the final form of it as the light died down.
