==Chapter Thirty: The Blood-Stained Altar==
Kyle, Honey, and Rose opened their eyes and appeared in a room shrouded in white light.
"Where are we?" Honey asked.
"Well, it's not the Netherworld, that's for sure." Kyle said.
"What's this?" Rose asked. She stepped to a brighter light that was calling to her. Honey and Kyle did the same. They all walked in opposite directions.
Rose found herself in her attic. She saw Thorn and herself go into the room and find out Midnight had taken the pin. Rose looked out the window of her attic and saw Angel Island floating in the sky. It was surrounded by lightning.
Kyle found himself in Rose's backyard. He saw himself, Rose, and Thorn go back into her cellar after searching for Midnight. Kyle looked up at the sky and saw Angel Island surrounded by lightning.
Honey found herself in the tree between her and Kyle's house. Honey's younger self went into Kyle's basement. Her current self climbed to the top of the tree and saw Angel Island floating in the sky, surrounded by lightning.
Kyle, Rose, and Honey surged up out of the water. Thorn, Cocoa, and Quartz helped them up and out.
"I saw the night Midnight freed Nightshade. It was when we went back into the cellar." Kyle said.
"I saw it too. Except, it was when I went to your basement." Honey said.
"Yeah, I saw it as well." Rose said. "It was when Thorn and I went to the attic to try and find Midnight."
"So, where are they?" Thorn asked.
"Angel Island." the three said in unison.
"Noon, you and me will try to draw Aurgentum out." Thorn said. "While..."
"Quartz, Kyle, Rose, and I will go to Angel Island." Honey said.
"I'll stay here and help Nightshade and Daisy with Midnight." Cocoa said.
"I'll try to find out what my pack is up to." Elizabeth said.
"I'll fly you guys up to Angel Island." Nails said.
"Let's get going."
Nails, Honey, Quartz, Kyle, and Rose drove off to the Mystic Ruins.
Thorn and Noon went out to the woods.
"They're coming." Elizabeth said, hearing howls.
"Why?" Cocoa asked.
"They think that Noon and Thorn are still here." Elizabeth said. "I'm not sure why, but Jonathon wants Thorn to join him."
"Come on!" Elizabeth said. She led Cocoa outside to the back of the G.U.N. Fortress.
The howling got closer to Elizabeth and Cocoa.
Robert and Emily arrived.
"Where's Noon?" Robert demanded.
"Out for a walk." Cocoa said.
"Do you know who you're talking to?" Rober snarled.
"Someone in desperate need of a shave." Cocoa replied.
Robert began to go towards Cocoa. Emily growled menacingly.
"This is going to get a lot more violent, isn't it?" Cocoa asked.
"Uh huh." Emily said.
Aurgentum melted out of the shadows.
"Bravo! Fighting among each other when there is such a bigger threat out there." Aurgentum said.
Robert snarled and pounced onto her.
Aurgentum knocked him into the window. Glass shattered on the grass.
Emily ran to attack Aurgentum. Aurgentum snapped her head back. Emily fell to the ground.
Elizabeth howled in vengeance for Emily. She rammed Aurgentum, but Aurgentum threw her into a tree.
Aurgentum walked towards Robert.
"Do you know how hard it is to look like this?" Aurgentum asked.
"I don't care." Robert told her.
"It takes power." Aurgentum said.
She levitated the shards of glass around her.
"I..." Robert said, caught off guard.
Aurgentum smirked.
"I should have ripped your throat out when I had the chance!" Robert spat.
"Aragh!" Aurgentum yelled in fury. She flicked her hands, and the glass shards hit Robert all throughout his body. He fell to the ground, dead.
"And you." Aurgentum said, talking to Cocoa.
He put his fists up and got into a fighting stance.
"You're worthless." Aurgentum said. She hit him to the ground, knocking him out.
Melissa met Thorn at the outskirts of the G.U.N. Fortress.
"What are you doing here?" Thorn asked.
"Quite frankly, I'm worried about my daughter." Melissa said.
"You're Honey's mom..." Thorn realized.
"I'm wondering why these recent attacks have been so close to your and Honey's friends." Melissa said.
"I don't know ma'am. I'm sorry." Thorn told her.
She ran past her out of the Fortress.
"Wait!" Melissa called.
She sighed.
Noon heard the wolves howling. He ran to the back of the G.U.N. Fortress.
Jonathon met Thorn in the woods.
"Where are the others?" Thorn asked.
"They are attending to other matters." Jonathon said.
"Now," Jonathon said, "may we please join forces to fight Aurgentum?"
"We have to now." Thorn said. "But you know, it will just be you and I against her. I don't know where Noon went."
"Then we'll make a great team." Jonathon told her.
Noon met with Aurgentum in the field.
"I did this all for you and for everyone else these wolves have hurt." Aurgentum told him.
"Stop trying to convince me to join you." Noon replied.
"If you join me, and protect me against Jonathon, you can take their place." Aurgentum said.
"It looks like you don't need my help." Noon said. He motioned to the fallen wolves around them.
"If he has Thorn on his side, I don't stand a chance without you." Aurgentum said.
"I am going to be at my strongest when the moon is at the middle of the sky." Aurgentum said. "I only need Jonathon in the right place at the right time."
"Aurgentum..." Noon said.
"I promise you that if you protect me, you take their place." Aurgentum said. "Here, take this."
She handed him an ancient tome. Noon's eyes widened.
Nails flew Honey, Rose, and Quartz up to Angel Island.
They went through the plains and found the emerald shrine. They found Lana and their parents.
"Mom, dad!" Rose exclaimed.
"Dad!" Kyle cried.
"Dad!" Honey yelled. "Lana!"
Quartz and Nails began to untie them.
Thorn and Jonathon arrived at the Mystic Ruins.
Daisy investigated the shattered window by the back field. She woke her unconscious brother.
"What happened?" she asked.
"Aurgentum." Cocoa replied.
Elizabeth rolled over.
"She's still alive?!" Cocoa exclaimed.
Daisy and Cocoa brought Elizabeth to the infirmary.
Aurgentum arrived at the Mystic Ruins. Noon stepped out of the fog alongside her.
"Well, well. Isn't this interesting." Jonathon said.
"Noon, how could you?" Thorn asked.
"Aurgentum, shall we show them why you needed to sacrifice ten innocent people in order to face me?" Jonathon asked her.
Jonathon pounced on Aurgentum and knocked Noon away. Aurgentum's eyes glowed gray. She punched Jonathon, but they had no effects. He had her pinned down.
"Kill her." he urged Thorn.
"You're friends are dying as we speak!" Jonathon told her. "Kill her and save them!"
"He's lying." Aurgentum said.
"Kill her, and become the sorceress you were meant to be. Absorb her power!" Jonathon said.
"Killing me won't be the end." Aurgentum said. "He'll make you kill everyone you love."
"They're not dead yet." Thorn said. "Eum sonum!"
A blast of blue energy knocked Jonathon back.
The moon rose to the center of the sky. Aurgentum turned into her hellhound form and knocked Thorn across the ground. She then began to punch and claw at Jonathon. He covered his eyes.
"Look at me!" Aurgentum yelled. "Look at what you did to me!"
He put his arms down and looked at her in her hellhound form.
"Enough." Noon told her.
Aurgentum reverted to her dog form.
"What are you talking about?" Aurgentum asked.
"You said you would kill him!" Aurgentum cried.
"I'm sorry Aurgentum." Noon told her. "But I'm not a killer."
"No!" Aurgentum cried.
"If you won't help me, then they all die!" Aurgentum yelled. "And once I have their power, I will kill Jonathon and the rest of you!"
"Let them go." Noon said. "Or I'll kill you myself."
"You don't have to." Jonathon said. Jonathon recovered his strength and leaped on Aurgentum. He slashed her head open. She fell to the ground, bleeding.
"Jonathon." Noon said. "You were once a good man. You don't need to harm anymore people."
"No, I suppose I don't." Jonathon said.
"We'll let you go if you can go back to your old ways." Thorn said.
"Very well." Jonathon said.
Thorn and Noon teleported to Angel Island.
Everyone was hugging each other.
"It's over." Thorn said.
They all grinned at each other, except for Noon and Nails.
"I'm sorry about Aurgentum, Noon." Nails said, putting her hand on his shoulder.
"I should have realized it." Noon said.
"You were too blinded." Nails told him.
"You knew the truth about her, didn't you?"
"Not at first, no. But I never did fully trust her." Nails said.
Noon smiled at her. He teleported away.
Noon put the piece of the Chaos Chronicles Aurgentum gave him in Thorn's room, along with a note.
Midnight woke up in the infirmary.
"Hey there." Noon said. He gave her some water.
"You up for a trip?" Noon asked her.
The next day, Thorn, Kyle, Honey, Rose, Quartz, Nails, Cale, Jason, Duke, and Alexandria returned to the G.U.N. Fortress.
Noon and Midnight left the fortress.
"I don't know if he's ever coming back." Nails told Thorn.
"Nightshade disappeared after Midnight woke up." Daisy said.
"Cocoa, are you okay?" Rose asked.
"Yeah, just a little roughed up. You?"
"The same." Rose replied. "I'm just glad you're okay."
"I'm glad you are too." Cocoa said.
They held hands.
A few days later, Thorn was walking down the hallway. She saw Rose and Cocoa walking hand in hand, Quartz and Honey laughing together, and Elizabeth and Daisy talking. Kyle came next to her and grabbed her hand. Thorn gave a full smile at him.
Thorn walked into Nails' office.
"Kyle and I feel it everyday. And I know that Quartz, Honey, Rose, and Cocoa must too. I feel like I am looking into an immense darkness. But instead of looking at darkness all the time, I look to my friends." Thorn said.
"What about Aurgentum?" Nails asked.
"I don't know." Thorn said. "When I went back to the Mystic Ruins, she was gone."
"Thorn...there's something I need to tell you...." Nails said. "It's...about the Prophecy."
Aurgentum was crawling towards the Master Emerald.
"Chaos!" she begged. "Save me, like you did once before!"
The water morphed into a tentacle-like object, reaching out for Aurgentum. She reached out for Chaos.
A black clawed hand grabbed her and flipped her on her back on the Master Emerald.
"Of course it's you!" Aurgentum said, laughing.
"Everyone else suffers, but somehow you manage to come out on top. After all, you only spent a few days in the Netherworld, while I spent five years there." Aurgentum said.
"I am sorry, Aurgentum." Nightshade said. "We could have worked together, but you threw it all away for feeble revenge."
"And what are you doing? Are your motives not out of revenge?" Aurgentum countered.
Nightshade smirked at her.
"You'll never find out." Nightshade said. She slashed Aurgentum's throat open. Aurgentum's blood splattered on the altar and mixed with Chaos' water.
Mephiles the Dark appeared behind Nightshade.
"Hello, Nightshade. I trust there was a reason to our conflict the last tme we met?" he asked.
"I had to earn their trust somehow." Nightshade told him.
"Very well." Mephiles said.
"Now," Nightshade said,"we must accelerate our plans."
