Everyone tried to make the others move, they wouldn't budge. Hyperium looked at each of them and saw their blank eyes staring off into space. Everyone but Hyperium was panicking as they didn't know what to do. Hyperium spoke up saying,
"I guess this is where it ends for me. This room is mine and I never knew these ones were in here. Cydonia never let me into my room, seeing I was with you. He believes I am a traitor now. So he had attempted to kill me by using the others. We were once his knights, and now I'm the last knight left." The group looked at him, not in a threatening way but a sympathetic way. They all comforted Hyperium as he had shed a few tears.
"I might know how to free them, but it will cost my life to do so.", Hyperium said. The group listened closely as he sighed,
"I will have to be killed in order to free them." Everyone that was conscious was refusing to do so.
"M-maybe James can use his aura an-"
"There's no other way. One of you must end my life and free then, once I am slain the path to your last friend and Cydonia will open.", Hyperium cut off Ruby as she was hopeful to try another way.
Zap pulled out the knife Electross dropped and nodded. Hyperium sat in the throne as he was ready. Zap stepped up to him and slashed him, he slit his throat, scarred his eyes, carved his skin, and stabbed his heart. Soon, Hyperium stopped breathing and their friends started breathing again. The rest all rushed to them and were relieved. Zap said one last thing to Hyperium's dead body,
"Rest in peace, fallen king." The group left the room and reentered the main room. A pillar of light was shinning in the center, Cydonia was ready.
