[Book 3] Land of Chaos: The Final Battle (AQW)

From the Surface and Under

"So, why are you dead?" Mortimer asked. "Who killed you?"

"Drakath did," Gomfalion replied. "I mean, he killed the Eternal Dragon of Time... Afterwards my soul was ripped apart and boom, now I'm down here."

"I watched as Drakath chaorrupted you in Mount Doomskull," Mortimer explained. "From down here I could see you winning your battles, conquering cities, everything."

"Yeah, to be honest it was such a terrible and stupid idea to get myself chaorrupted to put the world in order. I just realized now, now that I'm dead."

"Anyways," Mortimer said. "We have to find a way to break out of here. Gravelyn is preparing the whole Shadowfall to rise again, and I don't want to rot and become like those horrid skeletons and fiends. Look what happened!"

Mortimer showed his left hand. It was as if it was cyberized, with the tons of scrap metal covering it.

"What happened there?" Gomfalion asked.

"My hand rotted into a skeleton hand. I gathered a bunch of scrap metal from around this place and wrapped it around."

"I see. Well we better start working now, before we rot!"

"Indeed," Mortimer said. "Now, we have to search this place for some sort of exit. Although we do have to kill all the aggressive little skeletons on the way."

"Let's get to it," Gomfalion then said, readying his glowing sword.

They began to travel the Underworld, climbing down. They began to fight countless undead monsters and fiends. As Mortimer swung his musket toward his next opponent, the person defended and said, "Halt!"

Mortimer released his weapon and noticed the face in front of her.

"Oh! Gamzati! WHAT!? How the hell did you die?"

Gomfalion smiled nervously. "Hehe, don't look at me."

Back in the surface, in Shadowfall...

"The forces are ready to begin the spell that will raise the castle," Dage said to Gravelyn.

"Then let us begin," Gravelyn said. "Long unlive the Shadowscythe!"

Outside Shadowfall, the armies gathered and began the spell that would raise the castle and make it fly once again. The undead soldiers raised their arms and dark red orbs began to appear out of them, beginning to raise the castle. It lifted slightly, but it crashed back down with a thud.

"The magic is not strong enough," Dage said. "The forces of chaos ore only ten minutes away!"

Gravelyn turned her head. "If only Gomfalion was here."

The three in the underworld slashed down the three opponents in front of them. As the bodies fell and they looked up, they noticed a six-eyed red and black demon with horns and a floating sword behind him.

"Nulgath!" Gomfalion said. "What are you doing here?"

(Nulgath is an archfiend and is Dage's nemesis and former teacher. He is an evil contractor and the geneal of the Nulgath Nation, an army of fiends and demons.)
