---Aphmau's Pov---

I look around seeing white. "Am i dead?!" I see Laurence pacing and Garroth pull me up and answer.

"No, Zane took us to some.. sort of... i don't really know." I look at them distraught and look up to see a HUGE castle.

"GUYS THIS IS NOT GOOD!!" I look over at Dante. "I saw Zane run in that castle!" I look at all my guards.

We all nod and i speak. "We need to get Zane." Dante nods.

"Im with you guys till the end." We unsheathe our swords as we run in the castle.

"YES FINALLY!! THE RELIC IS MINE!!" We run in to see Zane in the middle of the castle about to touch the relic as it flows towards Ally. He stares at her.

"You cant be.....NOW I HAVE HER ON MY SIDE!!" He then turns towards us.

"Now we will be able to start the monarchy we deserve!!!" Laurence steps forward as Zane whispers something into Ally's ear and she nods.

"ALLY PLEASE GO BACK TO WHO YOU WERE! YOU KILLED AN INNOCENT MAN!!" She just stares blackly at us, as her eye turns even more red.

"It was super easy to convince your poor sister that it was your fault that everything happened. Starting with Laurence to poor innocent Aphmau. You have all missed her full potential!" I see another huge bright light and suddenly, Ally wasnt there.

In her place was well... terrifying. It had midnight black armor, and a matching helm. It had the flaming sword of my sister, but was much, MUCH, taller than her.

"Isnt she beautiful?! This is a Jury of Nine's form when their hearts become tainted. Now Ally, KILL APHMAU!!" She starts running towards me with her sword out, but was blocked by the mask mans.

"Well brother.... we are finally reunited.."

---Gene's Pov---

This isnt my sister. There is no way in Irene this could be her! I have to be dreaming! "MOVE!" I look up at her.

Her angelic voice isnt the same, its like demonic..... like Zane's. "ALLY NO! I WILL NOT LET YOU KILL HER!"

"WHY GENE?! I SHOULD KILL YOU TOO! YOU WERENT THERE FOR 17 YEARS OF MY LIFE!! IM 22! YOU LEFT WHEN I WAS 5! YOU LEFT ME TO BE KILLED! WELL.. NOW ITS YOUR TURN!!" I grit my teeth as i slowly start to push her back.

"ARE YOU EVEN LISTENING TO YOURSELF?! THE ALLY I KNOW WOULD NOT DO THIS!! SHE WOULD GO OVER THERE AND RIP THE HEAD OFF ZANE!!" She shakes her head.

"YOU DONT EVEN KNOW ME! YOUR SUPPOSED TO BE MY BROTHER!!"

"Please listen to me... Ally, this isnt you. The Ally i know is loyal and trustworthy. Not evil and dark." I hear a mumble of something under her helm.

She starts to lower her sword as i do the same. She takes off her midnight black helm and looks at me. Her one eye suddenly turns black as she runs past me, straight towards Aphmau.

"ALLY DONT!!" She swings her sword towards Aphmau when it was blocked with Laurence's.

"GET OUT OF MY WAY!" He shakes his head, while tears fall out of his eyes. I stand in front of Aphmau, as Dante does the same.

"Ally.... Please! Come to your senses!! You cant do this!!" Laurence looks like he was going to break down while she just stares at Aphmau, as if focusing on something.

"Zane.... Zane has helped me. You guys hurt me..." She swings her sword towards Laurence but i blocked it.

Laurence tells me to take his place as he runs up to her. He pulls her face down and kisses her. Ally lowered her sword as Laurence stops.

She starts to put away her sword as her eye turns grey. She falls to the ground and holds her hands against her head.

"Whatever Ally!! Ill get that relic if i have to rip you apart, piece by piece!!"

I see her eyes flutter open but this time her eye was ice blue. She was still in the Jury of Nine form but her voice was normal.

"Guys.....where are we?!" She stands up and i hug her. She moves my hood and mask and starts crying. "GENE!!" She turns back to the normal Ally, but still with her Jury of Nine armor. She stops hugging me and looks over at Laurence, who's looking back at her.

"LAURENCE WATCH OUT!" I turn to see the demonic looking Zane swinging his sword towards Laurence. In a split second i see Ally blocking his sword with her own.

"A....Ally?" Laurence just stares at her in awe as i pull him back by his shoulder.

"Zane.... i shouldnt have been so foolish. To think you would actually care for me. These people tried to.... WHAT IS THAT!?" She faces left and we see a portal with a blond haired female standing in front of it.

She was breathing heavily but still spoke. "GET IN THE PORTAL!!!" Everyones nods except me, Laurence, and Aphmau.

"Ally, we cant just leave you here!!" She nods. "Guys please!! I will take on Zane! Just please promise me you will go!!"

We shake our heads. Garroth grabbed on to Aphmau's shoulders. Pulling her back. "Ally please!!!"

Tears are now falling out of Aphmau's face as i turn towards her. "Aphmau we NEED to go!"

She stares at me, stunned. She slowly nods, sobbing now and runs out. "Laurence we..."

"ALLY PLEASE!!!!" He cries into the ground while hes sitting, his face in his hands.

"I....GAH!!" I look over at Allyson who has been launched towards the portal. I run towards her as Laurence does the same to see blood is leaking out of her armor.

"LAURENCE BRING HER IN! ILL SHUT THE PORTAL!!" He jumps out as i follow, throwing tnt in front before i leave.

It blows up launching me out, and exploding the portal. I stand up and stare at everything.

I turn towards Aphmau who is talking to the blond woman. I see Garroth talking to Dante and i see Laurence crying, and kneeling near Ally.

I walk up and hear a faint singing coming from him.

(Play Da Music)

"You and I,
We're like fireworks and symphonies exploding in the sky.
With you, I'm alive
Like all the missing pieces of my heart, they finally collide.

So stop time right here in the moonlight,
Cause I don't ever wanna close my eyes.

Without you, I feel broke.
Like I'm half of a whole.
Without you, I've got no hand to hold.
Without you, I feel torn.
Like a sail in a storm.
Without you, I'm just a sad song.
I'm just a sad song.

With you I fall.
It's like I'm leaving all my past in silhouettes up on the wall.
With you I'm a beautiful mess.
It's like we're standing hand in hand with all our fears up on the edge.

So stop time right here in the moonlight,
Cause I don't ever wanna close my eyes.

Without you, I feel broke.
Like I'm half of a whole.
Without you, I've got no hand to hold.
Without you, I feel torn.
Like a sail in a storm.
Without you, I'm just a sad song.

You're the perfect melody,
The only harmony
I wanna hear.
You're my favorite part of me,
With you standing next to me,
I've got nothing to fear.

Without you, I feel broke.
Like I'm half of a whole.
Without you, I've got no hand to hold.
Without you, I feel torn.
Like a sail in a storm.
Without you, I'm just a sad song.

Without you, I feel broke.
Like I'm half of a whole.
Without you, I've got no hand to hold.
Without you, I feel torn.
Like a sail in a storm.
Without you, I'm just a sad song.
I'm just a sad song."

A few tears start to slip down when i see Ally just laying there with her eyes closed. "What happened to Ally?!"

I see the woman running up, with Aphmau following close behind. "She got stabbed by Zane trying to protect...me...." Laurence wipes his tears standing up.

The woman looks at me confused. "Oh im sorry my name is Gene." I throw off my mask showing my hazel eyes, and black spiky hair.

"Oh im Zoey! Sorry if you guys didnt recognize me. It has been 15 years so..." Laurence jumps up.

"15 YEARS?!" She nods. "When you all dissapeared no one could bring themselves to become Lord. The whole village went kinda wild and most people left. We have a settlement close by that we can use to house you guys." She smiles and started to walk away.

"Oh and Aphmau? I... uh... need to show you something." She nods. "One minute let me check on the others."

---Aphmau's Pov---

Everyone said that they didnt really have anyone they need to make sure is ok, so i followed Zoey. We walk up to some old walls that had vines everywhere.

"This.... this is Pheonix Drop." I gasp, almost crying. "M...My village..."

She puts her hand on my shoulder. "This is where you have to go check everything yourself."

I turn towards her. "Your not coming with me?!" She shakes her head.

"Aphmau, i am so glad you are alive. Believe me, im more happy then i am showing. This is your time and you have to learn how to cope with this." I nod, shaking.

I walk through the gates shedding tears. I look around towards the houses. I look towards Cadenza and Kawaii-Chan's houses.... well the remains of the houses...

I look at all my hard work. THE IRENE STATUE!! I run towards it and breath a sigh of relief.

"Irene please help me. I cant process this, i just need something. Somebody to be exact..

"Aphmau-Senpai?" I turn behind to see a worn out Kawaii-Chan who has tears in her eyes. "K..Kawaii-Chan?!"

She runs up and hugs me, and i hug her back, as tears fall out of my eyes.

"APHMAU-SENPAI IS IT REALLY YOU?!" I nod, crying a bit harder into her shoulder. "KAWAII-CHAN IS SO GLAD YOUR OK!!"

I wipe my tears away as i let go of my friend. "This is unbelievable Kawaii-Chan. What has happened to Pheonix Drop.... i just cant wrap my head around the fact that it has been 15 years sense i last saw you in your time, but when we were in Irene's dimension it was only like 15 minutes."

She wipes some of her tears away as she smiles even more. "Kawaii--Chan t..thought you d..died! Oh Aphmau-Senpai!!"

I look at the Irene statue and i sit down at the edge. "The whole village. Gone. How am i supposed to just process this so easily?! Zoey says most people are gone. Is that true?" She nods sadly.

"Would you like to go see Aphmau-Senpai?" I nod standing up as she walks down, pulling my hand along with her.

I look around pointing things out in my head, and looking at my village.

The Remains Of My Village....

Before i know it we walked up to a gate. I run my hand through my hair, nervous. "Kawaii-Chan? Do you think anyone will even rememb-"

"A....APHMAU?!" I look at th top of the gates to see Cadenza. She opens them and runs out hugging me. I hesitate at first but hug her back.

"H...How are you even here?! Am i dreaming?! If i am please.. PLEASE dont wake me up!! Please!" I let go of her and grin.

"Cadenza its really me. I am right here. Your not dreaming. Trust me, im also thinking its a dream. But its not. I am back, with everyone who disappeared. Even my sister though she is badly hurt. I'm just so glad you didn't get hurt in the 15 years i was gone."

She hugs me again, and i feel tears fall on my shoulder. "A...Aphmau... is it you?" I let go of Cadenza to look towards the manly voice that spoke.

"Logan?!" He runs up to me and smiles. "How has life been treating you Logan?" He laughs.

"Well, i have 4 kids. 3 human, and of course Yip. Who has also by the way got his human form. I just cant believe your here!" I smile.

"Did you think i would die so easily?! Ha! Logan, your as funny as you always were!"

He laughs tiredly. "Lets get you in here. You need to rest. You dont look a day older then hmm... 45?"

I walk up and punch his shoulder. "Very funny, at least i dont have bags under my eyes so big they can carry groceries!"

"Touche. Anyway you can meet everyone in the morning. Everyone else is already in. Ally, is not doing good. At all." I nod as he starts to walk.

We get inside the walls and i see houses everywhere. Garroth was sitting by a tree bit when he notices us he gets up and walks over.

"Lady Aphmau, Laurence is taking this really hard. Its not that he misses anyone, its that.. we think Allyson isnt going to make it."

I nod as Logan brings me to a huge tree. "We grew this in your honor. Its basically the new guard tower. It also is going to be housing the people that have just returned, until we get houses. Oh and i was wondering if tommorow you would like to greet Donna? She will be so ecstatic to see your alive."

"Of course!" He smiles and walks off. I sigh and climb up the ladder leading to the main part of the tree. I get up there to see everyone sleeping except Laurence and Garroth who are talking.

"Garroth? How did you get here before me?" Whispering, he stood up. "Theres a shortcut."

I chuckle and walk over to where they were sitting, which was near a bed. "Zoey says Ally won't make it..." I kneel down right next to Laurence.

"Laurence its not your fault." He looks at m stunned. "How did you kn-" I cut him off laughing.

"Because i know you Laurence. Remember how you blamed yourself when i was stuck in the nether, though I was the one who decided that?" He nods, looking back at her.

I do the same, to see her hair back to black. "Who died her hair back to the normal color?" He shrugs. "I honestly dont know."

I stand up and walk towards an area that was showing the sky, and the old docks. I sigh and Garroth walks over. He stands next to me and puts his helmet on the ground. I put my head on his shoulder and he wraps me in a hug. I was surprised at first, but hugged back. It was quiet for the longest time until Garroth spoke in a whisper that only i would hear.

"Our Lives Are Like A Beach, Huh...."
