Chapter VI

Tien winced as he regained consciousness; he slowly opened his eyes and immediately jolted upright. "Hello mentor, how have you been?" Tien said in a very polite tone. "Don't even think about running. You know you'll get hurt more. Revive your brothers" Their mentor said. Tien nodded, he stood up and placed his hand on Virgil's and Shadow's forehead. White energy slowly seeped from Tien's into their bodies. The bruises and cuts on Virgil's and Shadow's body healed and they slowly opened their eyes."Thanks for healing me, Tien." Shadow said. "Where is he?" Virgil said as he regained full consciousness. "Here." Their mentor said. "Now, do you mind explaining why you three ran from the island?" He then poured another cup of tea, waiting for their reply. "Sir Geran told us what happened to our father." Their Mentor immediately burst out in anger. "How many times have I told you not to talk to the dead Tien?"

Tien shrugged and grinned sheepishly. "Sorry? But he did tell us the true events on how our father died Shifu!" Shifu shook his head. "Violence won't solve anything, Tien. You of all people should know that. If it was Virgil or Shadow, I would understand their violence." Tien shook his head slightly. "They collaborated with the demons to take down our father. Justice must be done." Shifu sighed and downed a cup of tea before he spoke. "I see, i too know about this, but you were young and i could leave to take revenge. Now, since the chance arrived, I will aid you in confronting him. However,leave Narius to me. Agreed?" Virgil, Shadow and Tien nodded in response. Shifu then nodded too and got off his staff. He gripped his staff and tap on the ground. A huge blast of energy shook the earth as a huge path was blasted right towards the centre. Dust and gravel started to rain around them. "Let's go!" Shifu said as he walked in the path he created. "Violence won't solve anything huh? That seemed very peaceful." Virgil turned and said to Shadow. "I mean that ass is not doing what he preac-" Virgil stop as he saw Shadow's face changed to one of fear. "He is behind me isn't he?" Virgil asked. Shadow nodded and immediately shifu's staff came crashing down on Virgil's head. Virgil held his head in pain as he knelt complaining. "I tried to warn you but he was too fast." Shadow said as he helped Virgil up. "Ow... what about Tien?" Tien appeared behind Virgil. "I was the one who told him you were bad-mouthing him! I have excellent senses because of Soul magic." Immediately, Tien reappeared near Shifu and was laughing loudly. "I swear I'll torture him one day." Virgil muttered.
"How will we fight them? Together they are too strong." Zans said as he looked at the approaching four. "Father, they are really too powerful." Zes added in. "I do not believe that all of us together will not be enough..." Narius said gripping his staff tightly. "Father! The old man blasted apart the heavy gates. Not even you can do that." Zes protested. "Enough! I've heard enough. Either you're with me or against me." Narius said. "That is enough, Narius. You should know what we are here for." Shifu spoke in a magically magnified voice that shook the ground around them. The four then appeared in front of Narius and his sons. The elders behind them all prepared for battle. "You three remember what I said about violence? Forget about it. Take the elders out!" The three nodded and immediately moved with great agility appearing in the middle of the elders. After a couple minutes, the elders were already beaten and most were seriously injured. Tien turned to Zes and spoke. "Do I really have to do this again?" Zes smiled and said. "I have to fight, even if I die, it is for honour. But before I die, can you at least tell me why you are here to destroy our base?" Tien smiled. "I would rather kill you than to let you know the truth." Shifu laughed. "Tien, he should know what his father did. Years ago," Shifu started,"after the Great War, Saint was gaining incredible support. Some of the clan leaders got worried. They made a harsh decision. To kill Saint, however they knew it was impossible to kill a God Class Wizard themselves. So they secretly opened the gates of Demonia and went to find the Demon Emperor. He gave them a dagger stained with his blood, it was so poisonous that it a single contact with water would poison an entire ocean. On the day before Saint's death, they secretly called him to discuss the future about the kingdom of good. However, they backstabbed him and plunged the dagger into him. The poison broke his magical barrier and poisoned his blood. He was weakened. Soon he was killed after he battled with the clan leaders." Narius started to feel uneasy and shouted. "Stop!" he prepared to cast a spell but was immediately stopped as huge globs of water appeared around him, threatening his life. Zans and Zes stared at their father in disbelieve. "It was supposed to be a secret however, an old guardian of Saint witness the scene. He was however discovered and killed, but at the last second, he did the unthinkable. He banished himself to a life of torture by forcing his spirit out of his body. He painfully made his way back to the heaven island, to tell us of the deed. We did not take any actions as we knew we could not prove it. Fighting against the clans seems like a bad idea that time as I could not leave my seniors children alone. Soon, I forgave them. However it seems like now I too can't hide this feeling of hatred. Especially when you, Narius was the one who suggested the idea."Narius burst in anger and fired lighting bolts at Shifu. Shifu blocked the bolts with his hand and laughed. "Actually, your sons were still in a state of disbelieve. However, your actions prove that you are guilty." Zans and Zes were already moving away from Narius. "Saint was a hero. I always thought that you were one too. How could you?" Zans screamed, close to tears. "Enough! I will kill you, Narius. Along with this base you created with the blood of my senior!" A huge ball of bright blue energy appeared in Shifu's hand. It started glowing white. Shifu's iris also started to turn dark blue and white symbols started appearing and fading within it. "Tien! Protect your brothers and Narius's son. The deed of the pass will not be passed on to the future." Tien grabbed Zans and Zes from their places with great speed and stood behind Shadow and Virgil. "Hold on tight to me!" Tien said, as white energy surrounded them. "I'm not even sure if I can block his energy blast. Virgil, Shadow, you two also injected all your energy into the shield. It would last, I hope." Virgil and Shadow immediately helped, and just in time as a huge explosion erupted when the orb broke. Blue energy swallowed the base and disintegrated every single thing, Narius was hit the worse, as he was painfully vaporised from the power of the spell. The light soon faded and Shifu's eyes returned to normal. However, heaven's three and Narius' sons were lying on the ground in injuries as the shield had collapse during the blast; however it had already helped them avoid the worse. Shifu looked at them and chuckled. "Oops." He said. "Guess i used too much force. I really have to remove their seals soon. They are weak."
