Bunnymund sat there, still staring at the patch of grass where his lover and best friend lay not to long ago. But as he stare at it, the green grass has began to wilt as if the light has been never been there. Then the Warren seemed to loss its glow, like the colors had gone dull.
"... She's gone, she's actually gone..." Tooth muttered.
"But with no Angel Patrons then..." Jack said then his look drifted to North who was nodding sadly.
"What are we going to do?"
Usually, North was the one who comes up with ideas and motivations for his friends, but after witnessing a death of an Angel, he was stuck.
"I'll tell you what we're going to do..." Bunnymund finally spoke up, surprising them, "we're not going to let Venus or her siblings die in vain, I say we go out there and protect what is left!"
Aurora and Shinya told the Guardians whatever information that is related to death or the Angel of Death, etc. either in mythology or history, they need all the knowledge and wisdom and help they could get.
They transferred the girls to the North Pole, so the Yeti's could watch over them, saying "if you two are in danger or in need of assistance, ring this bell 6 times."
North handed them a bell each, both examined the bells in awe until Shinya piped up, "are these sleigh bells?"
North chuckled, "what else could they be?" He retorted jokingly. They all said their farewells and headed on to the sleigh, after North pulled one of the Yetis "keep them occupied and don't make them watch the TV," the Yeti nodded and began to usher the girls for a tour of the workshop.
Once the Guardians had reached heaven, they noticed that the garden was empty and the once lively colors had gone dull. They immediately went to control and they were met with working angels all commanding something on their earpiece, giving out rushed orders. It all stopped when they all noticed the Guardians. Mellie was the first to approach them.
"So, how did it go? Is Venus safe?" Her questions only made them look down mournfully.
"Venus, she, sacrificed herself for Skrillex..." Bunnymund explained. The rest of the Guardians told them about the up coming war that Skrillex has been preparing for thousands of years.
And when the story was done, Mellie looked back at the elders and angels in the room, "Everyone, prepare the Gargoyles, we're going to war..."
Weapons are being sharpened, different kinds of armory has been tossed to one another, war chariots are being prepared, prayers has been sent back and forth, blessings has been given. The realm of the Angels sworn to never go to war but sometimes promises are meant to be broken.
The Guardians all watch the events take place.
Bunnymund was sitting in the secret garden that Venus made for them, he slipped out of the control room while everyone was preparing for war. He thought of Venus last words about death.
'Death is not the greatest loss in life. The greatest loss is what dies inside of us while we live, I understand that now. I just wished I understand that sooner...'
After hearing that, he suddenly came into a conclusion. The dark figure that came to whisper in Skrillex' ear was all too familiar to him. Skrillex was forced into darkness because of the desire of being loved and adored and look up upon by others. He was betrayed, like... he was. Which forced him to make a deal with Era...
Era was the one whose intentions were evil, not Skrillex! All he wanted is to be loved! Venus was right! Deep down inside of him, there is still good in him!
He rose up to his feet, feeling determination swell through him and a plan in mind. He left the secret garden and Venus' temple, before glancing at her statue for a brief second then returning back to the control room to tell everyone his plan.
~•~•~•~•~•~•
Everything was set, his army was ready. He has waited for this day for years. He faced his army and began to his war song.
I have waited for the day
To send this greedy wolf away
Now the magic is my salvation
Gather close in my protection
We will stand for ever free!
We hold the beauty of nature and all it's glory
No need to fear the vultures at the door
Right here you have me to protect you
Within these walls of thorns
Forever free! Forever more!
They have come into our domain
Here to seal our fate in shame
But we waited for it for generations
This is just a complication
We will stand for ever free!
Trust in me this is for your own good
Don't be afraid nature is our friend
Every lovely bloom designed to defend
We will stand for ever free!
His demons cheered then began to race upwards the entrance to the earth realm, eager to taste the fear and blood of the living.
Era stood by a cliff, watching her plan unfold. Every hard push, every plead, every sacrifice was finally paying off. And she didn't have to worry about those pesky Archangels ruining her plan. Once chaos is restored in the world, fear will rise, then she could finish off her 2 pawns making her rule the world filled with chaos just like the old times!
She vanished into the shadows just to teleport right beside her Dark prince, she smirked as she encouraged him more, telling him he did a great job and teasingly massaging his shoulders.
Of course he would just brush her off, she didn't mind, soon she will be having everything she ever wanted. ETERNAL POWER!!!
...
Wait...Why have they stopped?!?!
She whipped her head at what was causing HER army stop from their war march.
And what she saw was made her blood boil so much!
"HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TAKE DOWN THOSE STUPID GUARDIANS?!?!?!"
