ML C8, P3- "The Purple Gate"

"The Purple Gate" is the third Part of "Miracula Luxia" 's eighth Chapter- "For Whom The Bell Tolls". It was released on 25.03.2020.
== Plot ==
The dangerous portal in the middle of Paris- the location where hundreds of monsters are teleported to attack the city's citizens, is still active. If it is not destroyed soon, there might be no future for the city and its residents.
But this is not the main goal of our heroes for now. Until they gain enough power to fight back against the horde of monsters that come out of the portal, Jared, Seiko and Commander Jones have to scout the area and find out how it is teleporting so many monsters at once.
== Story ==
A few hours pass. The sun goes down. The moon comes up.
Our heroes travel in the darkness, undetected by the hostile humanoids on the streets. It is a miracle, considering their attentiveness when they search for their prey.
Jared notices an ogre nearby, but is pushed out of its way by Seiko before it could have the chance to see him.
The three of them hide behind a building, just a few miles away from the thing that is causing this mayhem.
The purple portal. The gateway from the lands of chaos, from which the monsters enter this nexus.
Jared notices that the portal is unlike any he has ever seen before. Its magical energy is... disturbing. At the very least.
What is more worrying than that is the fact that, even from here, the portal tries to push the three of them away from it.
Jared has the bad feeling that it might not let them go through.
But it doesn't matter. All they need to do is destroy it, to stop it from working ever again. When that happens, no more monsters will be able to go through it and the rest of them will be stuck in the lands below.
However, the task won't be as easy as it seems to be. To do that, our heroes need to find a way to distract the humanoids and lead them away from the area with the portal. 
Fortunately, the task won't be that hard. The ogres and goblins aren't famous for their intelligence. In fact, their brains are not made for thinking. Just for obeying orders, destroying things... and people, and other common tasks for such creatures.
The gremlins are different, though. Or, some of them, at the very least. Some of the creatures might be able to realize what our heroes are planning and simply go back to their original location.
To distract all of the creatures, our heroes need to think of the perfect plan.
As Jared's mother and Commander Jones think about a possible plan to lead them away, the boy stares at the portal and analyzes the time between the teleportations.
What he finds out is that the monsters don't teleport in equal amounts. Sometimes, 20 goblins are teleported after about 1 hour of time. It is more different for the ogres, who are able to teleport between 4-5 hours, but only 1-2 at once, probably because of their huge size.
Gremlins are like goblins, can be easily teleported between 1-2 hours of time.
Jared also notices that there are a dozen gremlin mages standing near the portal, chanting songs of strength to strengthen both the portal and their incoming allies alike.
Commander Jones wants to attack them and kill them before they make the portal strong enough to teleport their whole army at once. Seiko does not agree with that.
"We need to think about this logically, Gary."- She says- "And the only way to do that, is to lead their troops away."
"I'm not scared of some pathetic goblins. And gremlins."- The commander says.
Seiko shakes her head.
"It's not about the amounts of monsters currently around. It's about the fact that they might make a very strong defense against us. Should we attack them like that, they'll prepare their portal faster. Because the mages will be able to work undisturbed while the rest of their minions attack us. It's not a good plan."
"Mom's right."- Jared says- "This is not the time to make bad decisions. We need to trick them. Somehow. And if that has to happen, we need to act like heroes. Because the whole city relies on us. We must not fail. You get it, don't you? You know the plan, just like I do?"
Commander Jones and Seiko nod.
"Very well. Then let us be the heroes that this city needs right now."
With that, the three of them split and go in different directions.
Commander Jones whistles to the goblins to the right of the mages. The creatures turn around and notice him. Then, they mindlessly charge towards him, not thinking twice about what he is planning.
Commander Jones runs away. The goblins go after him.
Seeing that he's gone far enough, the commander draws his blade and attacks the goblins.
He manages to kill them with ease. Fortunately for him, their death cries go unanswered by the rest of the hostiles.
Meanwhile, Jared places and wires a bunch of explosives around the ogres. Just when they're about to notice him, the boy draws his bow and shoots a flaming arrow at one of the TNTs.
Soon, the other explosives ignite as well and explode, severely wounding most of the ogres without getting the attention of the other mobs.
The wounded ogres soon die from their wounds, leaving Jared alone in the area where he is.
Seiko thinks about the current situation more aggressively, deciding to lead some of the humanoids away and kill them with no mercy.
Once she has distracted enough of them, she draws her sword and starts to kill each one of them very quickly, spinning around while blocking their blows and hitting them as hard as she can.
Her quick blows are able to kill the goblins so fast that they aren't able to emit their deaths screams to alert their allies.
Having killed all of the distracted creatures, Seiko gives each one of them a sharp kick, confirms that they're dead and reunites with her son and Commander Jones.
"I think we killed most of them."- Commander Jones says.
Jared notices something in the distance and stares at it.
"Is something wrong, son?"- Seiko asks him.
Jared is unable to say anything. Seiko stares as well, trying to figure out what her son is worried about.
Then she sees it. A huge army of monsters are coming their way.
"Get down!"- She yells and takes Jared and Commander Jones behind a building.
The three of them watch as the rest of the humanoids join their allies in defending the portal area.
Jared notices a chute next to them. Seeing no escape routes other than this one, the boy decides to slide down.
Commander Jones and Seiko take the hint and slide down as well.
Soon, the three of them go back to the sewers. However, just when she is about to join Jared and Commander Jones, Seiko bumps her head in a rock and falls unconscious.
"Oh, dear god. Mom!"- Jared says, worried about his mother.
Commander Jones checks her heartbeat and nods.
"She has a pulse. She's alive."- He says.
"But she... "
"I'll take care of her. We need to go back to the Kaos residence."
Jared stares ahead and notices a river not far ahead of them.
"You know what?"- He mumbles- "We might be able to do that from here. But... we need to find a boat."
"A boat?"
Jared nods.
"Yes. A boat. And I think I see one over there."
He points at a small boat.
"Interesting."- Commander Jones says- "Let's go, then."
Jared goes ahead first, with Commander Jones coming after him while carrying Seiko's unconscious body on his back.
