## Plot

The stealth group Legion of Life go to the Edge of Lijos in order to get to Myrkur.

In Myrkur, Pilin asks to see Ezen. The guard is at first hesitant as he has orders from Skinscraper not to, but Pilin tells him that Skinscraper was executed. The guard then agrees to, and leaves Pilin with Ezen alone. Ezen is bitter to Pilin, berating him for his betrayal. Pilin explains that he had no choice, but Ezen disagrees, saying he could have simply left, come with him and his friends, or better yet tell Pozan face-to-face what a horrible person he is. Pilin ignores Ezen, and asks him about his past. Ezen refuses to tell him, but Pilin informs him that he knows Ezen wants to, and that he's never shared it to anyone before, and that he desperately wants to. Reluctantly, Ezen agrees.

Ezen tells of a while ago, when he and Azen were much younger; Skinscraper, who, at that time, was the admiral of the Order of Magma, had come to offer Ozen (Ezen's father) a place in the Order of Magma. Ozen is about to accept, but Izen quickly intervenes and refuses to let her husband join, saying that it's fascist and evil. Over the years, Ozen and Izen drifted apart, their love for each other slowly drifting away due to their differing opinions. One day, Izen was killed by humans. Ozen decided then to join the Order of Magma to gain revenge for what happened. He tried to convince Ezen to join him as well. While Ezen pretended to say yes, he truly had plans to leave, as he packed up that night and set off. Azen tried to convince him to stay, while Ezen tried to convince her to leave. Ultimately, he left without her. Pilin apologizes to Ezen for what he had to do. Ezen bitterly demands why Pilin would care, and Pilin replies that it's because he's been through similar experiences.

The Legion of Life travels through the Frozen Land to reach the Cloud Castle.

Pilin returns to the dungeons of Myrkur to see Ezen. The guard is hesitant to let him through, as he finds it suspicious. Pilin eventually convinces him, and the guard lets him, but remains extremely suspicious. He sits down next to Ezen's cage for a while in silence. Eventually, Ezen tells Pilin that it's his turn to open up and tell him about his past. Pilin refuses at first, but Ezen knows he wants to, so Pilin reluctantly tells him.

Pilin describes that it was only around a year ago or so that this happened, but he was much younger and more naïve then. He was playing tennis with Baibee (and apparently losing, much to the amusement of Leethos and the disgust of Azen), until Vogana came and told them she found out how to do a cloaking spell and spy on a meeting going on with the general, admiral and commander of the Order of Magma. They do so. However, in the meeting Pilin overhears Pozan's plan to wipe out a civilian plan, which he directly speaks against, saying those people want nothing more than to live their lives unoppressed. The Magma Queen is furious with Pilin for this, as not only did he interrupt a war meeting, but he also demonstrate "weakness", and a wish to spare innocent civilians. She wanted to have him executed, but his friends stood up to him. The Magma Queen decides to name Pilin a spy for the Order of Magma, an incredibly risky job. She warns him that if he fails, he will be executed.

Back in the present, Ezen is horrified to hear of such cruelty from the Magma Queen, as he admitted that he had thought that there was at least a glimmer of a soul inside such a monster, but he was wrong. Pilin scoffs, saying that the Magma Queen was awful, but his own father simply let it happen, and Pilin was expected to be fine with it. Pilin begins to question whether he is weak. Ezen disagrees, saying that having friends and compassion makes one vulnerable, but not weak; it lets them have something to live for, as despite the fact that a war needs tactical and strategic planning, it also to some extent requires at least some degree of morals and compassion, which Pilin has, but his father wants to get rid of. After a while, Pilin asks if circumstances were different, if the two of them could have been friends. Ezen has a confusing reply.

The Legion of Life arrive at the Cloud Castle, and go across the bridge and into the palace. After some time, they come across a large room and are suddenly confronted by Coo Coo Junior, Crazy and Waawa, who are all proxies of Coo Coo. They inform the Legion of Life that they are no longer part of Coo Coo, and that they had to lock her up in the Obsidian Palace, as she was getting out of hand. Dabsar tells them that they're looking for Tree of Life pieces, as well as a way to Myrkur. Coo Coo Junior explains that they used to have two, but one was taken away; they could find it by going through the Obsidian Palace. Crazy warns however that if they go there, they could risk freeing Coo Coo, and should that happen, they need to be ready to put her back in. The Legion of Life agree to this. Before they leave, Coo Coo Junior, Crazy and Waawa apologize to Chappal for the trouble they caused her. She accepts their apology and leaves.

Once they reach the Obsidian Palace and the prison room, Coo Coo is quickly released from her prison, and she proceeds to attack them. While Chappal prepares the spell to seal her back in, Coo Coo is quick to stop the spell. Dabsar attempts to charge at Coo Coo and her force her back in, but that fails almost instantly. As they fight, Chappal suddenly has a memory surge, and she remembers that something happened a while back in Painful Parkour. While Chappal's memory keeps coming back, Dabsar, Sven, Zoe and Guard keep trying to figure out exactly what it is, until finally Zian snaps and orders Chappal, surprisingly harshly, to tell them what's happening. Chappal blurts out that she remembers that the Dungeoneer had killed Coo Coo, but Coo Coo had been resurrected by The Void and by Zovan, but she was under their control this time. Coo Coo, sure enough, grew Zovan's voice, and proceeded to attack them, this time with the intent to kill.

During the fight however, Chappal continued to reach out to Coo Coo and continued to succeed, which finally, after some time of fighting, led Zovan to abandon Coo Coo's body and leave her to die. He strikes her and leaves her to die, and proceeds to leave. Chappal cries over Coo Coo's limp body. Coo Coo, with only minutes left in her life, wants to tell Chappal something. Chappal wants to hear it. To her shock and relief, Coo Coo reveals that she in fact wasn't dying, and that Zovan had failed to kill her, and the curse on her had been lifted. Delighted, Chappal embraced her friend — no, sister — and the two hugged for a while. Eventually, Sven said they should probably be going soon. Chappal asks if Coo Coo can join the Legion of Life, given that she wasn't truly a terrorist, it was merely The Void controlling her to be that did this to her. Sven agrees to it, as he would love to have a panda representative. They then set off and go through the next portal.

The Legion of Life stops by by their base in the End.

In Myrkur, the Magma Queen summons several of her minions to her throne room, including Pozan, Azen, Vogana, Leethos, Baibee and Pilin. She begins by saying that she finally has a plan to use Ezen to bring back The Void by forming an alliance with the Void Empire, by giving Ezen to them, but only if they pledge their allegiance to her. She then says that she plans to use their airships to wage war on Lijos and completely decimate it; but once The Void arrives, it will wipe the world clean, and she, alongside her minions, would remake it (though unknown to them, she plans to kill them all too and only keep herself alive). She then proceeds to give everyone promotions except Pilin and Vogana, making Baibee a captain, Leethos the commander, Azen the general and Pozan the admiral. By now, however, Pilin has finally made his decision on where he will stand.

The Legion of Life goes into the End dimension. They travel through for a while until they finally reach the mount of the notorious Mewi Fat Cat. While at first they cannot find him, Mewi reveals that he is trapped in limbo, therefore they cannot see his physical form, and his true form right now is Zovan, as The Void took his body from him and replaced it with Zovan. Mewi explains that the same was done to Coo Coo's girlfriend in the past, Komodi, who became The Deathmaster. He tells them that they formed the Void Empire, an extremely dangerous group beyond their comprehension. He tells them of something he heard a while ago.

Mewi explains that he was stalking Pozan and Azen, who mysteriously went to the Void, and asked to see The Deathmaster. Pozan explains that he is here for an alliance, that they will give them Ezen, an enderman who can bring back The Void. The Deathmaster simply laughs at this, but Zovan suddenly appears, and tells him that Ezen's power does, indeed, have enough to resurrect The Void if paired with his own. Pozan warns them that there are several terms to this, that they will need pledge their allegiance to the Magma Queen. Reluctantly, Zovan agrees. Pozan also adds that they must use The Void to completely decimate Lijos. Zovan very sadistically agrees to this, and forms this alliance.

The Legion of Life is absolutely horrified to hear this, and Mewi tells them they are definitely rightful to feel this way; however, they have bigger problems right now, and they should focus on that. He also tells them that they still have time to save Ezen and keep this from happening. Dabsar says that even if they save Ezen, they'll simply spend the rest of their lives running. Mewi replies by saying that they can rebuild the Tree of Life, which will keep away The Void for good, and defeat both the Order of Magma and the Void Empire. He tells them that there are about three pieces left; one here, one in Myrkur, but the last one in the Void. He tells them a way to get through the Void in a safe manner, by going to Mount Etheral, a mountain which has the piece. He tells them that everything must go exactly to plan, or else the world will be destroyed. He gives them the Tree of Life and tells them to hurry and go, as the fate of existence is at steak. They do so.

The Legion of Life arrive in their base in Myrkur and have to get ready to infiltrate Myrkur to defeat the Magma Queen and save Ezen.

As Pilin once again goes to Ezen's prison, the guard expresses his distrust, but before he can do anything, Pilin attacks him and takes the keys, and frees Ezen. Ezen is incredibly confused by this, and asks what he's done. Pilin tells him that he's getting him out of here, and tells him that he can get magic and manage to escape. They go to a room of magic, and Pilin gives him enough power to teleport now. As Pilin prepares to leave, Ezen asks Pilin to come with him, saying that he shouldn't be letting Pozan treat him the way that he is. Pilin disagrees, saying that he has things to do. As he continues to refuse, Ezen eventually loses his patience and demands why Pilin is even helping him in the first place. Pilin explains the Order of Magma's plan to completely destroy Lijos using Ezen to bring back The Void and kill millions of innocent humans, animals and even fellow monsters alike. Ezen is horrified by this. He asks why Pilin won't come with him, and Pilin explains he wants to tell his father, face to face, what a horrible person he is, which Ezen suggested he do a while ago. Ezen discourages this, saying that Pozan could kill him. Pilin simply responds by saying "so be it".

Pilin arrives in the Magma Queen's throne room. He demands to speak to Pozan alone. Reluctantly, the Magma Queen agrees, and leaves. Pozan mutters his interest in the fact that Pilin had a sword in his hand, and asked to speak to him alone, noting that it would be interesting, especially considering he didn't request an audience, but instead demanded it. Pilin begins by saying that he won't be going through with the Order of Magma's plan. Pozan simply scoffs, telling him that the Order of Magma already has their plan in motion, and that there's nothing he can do to stop them. Pilin grins, telling him that he set Ezen free. Pozan orders Pilin to return to his room, but Pilin refuses and demands that Pozan listen. He goes on a rant about how the Order of Magma isn't a cult for justice, but for revenge, and that Pozan never cared for Pilin at all. He, essentially, did exactly what he said he would do: tell Pozan face-to-face what a horrible person he is. Pilin then finishes by saying he's done with the Order of Magma for good and that he plans to leave.

Pozan scoffs after he's done, saying that he took after his mother, or both his parents. Pilin responds by saying that he's nothing like Pozan. Pozan goes on to explain that he's not Pilin's real father, which horrifies Pilin. He explains that in order to conquer the Order of Magma Base, they had to invade part of the Heart of Fjall. In this, Pozan encountered a family of piglins. He was about to kill them, but they begged him to spare their son. Pozanat first had no reason to, but then realized that he needed someone to carry on his legacy, as he had no children (and presumably didn't want to have affairs with anyone). He then trained that child to be his weapon, his slave, and his son, Pilin. Pilin is disgusted with his father, and gets ready to leave, but Pozan reveals that he has Coo Coo's chaos magic, and is ready to kill Pilin with it. Pilin confronts his fate, willing to die, so long as Pozan knew that he was in the wrong, not Pilin. However, as Pozan aimed to kill Pilin, Ezen intervened, teleporting Pilin and him away, getting them both to safety. Pozan is furious at this. Azen enters the room and questions what's happening. Pozan replies simply by saying that they have a prisoner and a traitor to catch.

The Legion of Life finally arrives in Myrkur. As they enter, Sven says that the other Legion of Life soldiers may already be infiltrating Myrkur as they speak, or they are back on Lijos. Coo Coo comments that they probably would need a chaos master on their side. Chappal responds that they don't, and they are their last hope. They get ready to advance, and defeat the Magma Queen.

As they go through Myrkur and finally reach the throne room, the Magma Queen's voice appears. As Sven tells everyone to get ready, the Magma Queen scoffs, calling them idiots for thinking that she's still there, when in truth, she, alongside the rest of the Order of Magma, have already left to Lijos. Chappal realizes that they are too late, and the Magma Queen bids them farewell.

Zian breaks down, believing they've failed. However, all of a sudden, both Ezen and Pilin appear, with Pilin telling them they haven't failed. Dabsar, Chappal and Zian delightfully reunite with Ezen. Sven questions why he is with Pilin. Pilin responds by saying that he's no longer part of the Order of Magma. Guard is very hesitant about this, questioning whether he might be a triple-agent now. Ezen vouches for him, saying that he faced his father and nearly died, essentially risking his life to safe Ezen. Chappal is very distrustful however, saying that she still holds grudges, and is still mad. Pilin responds by saying he doesn't need forgiveness, only trust, so that he can help them. Sven mutters that Nadu wasn't the type to give second chances, particularly to traitors, but he wasn't her, so lets Pilin join. They then head into the portal to the Void.

The Legion of Life arrive in their base in the Void.

The Legion of Life travels through the treacherous Void, first through its entrance, then through its ocean, and finally they reach Mount Etheral, where Mewi told them to go. Eventually, as they reach the inside of the mountain, they realize they've split up. Once they reach the bottom, Dabsar, Chappal and Zian try calling for everyone. They realize that Coo Coo is still there to their relief. However, eventually they encounter Ezen. Quite quickly, they realize that something is wrong with him, as he called them "humans" instead of "friends". The Deathmaster suddenly appears, revealing that he has possessed Ezen, to his friends' horror. He orders Ezen to kill them.

On the other side of the mountain, Zoe, Pilin, Guard and Sven have found the final Tree of Life piece. As they celebrate, Zoe suddenly realizes that this isn't the final Tree of Life pieces, and counting all of them, they only have twenty-four (twenty-six counting the ones from Crazy Caves and Painful Parkour), and that there was one left. This leaves them all confused and horrified. All of a sudden, a voice appears, from a voice that appears to be coming from nowhere/limbo. Sven is quick to realize that it is Komodi, Coo Coo's girlfriend. Komodi informs them that Ezen has been possessed by The Deathmaster, and that the only way to undo the possession is for someone to make a sacrifice. She explains how.

As Ezen fights his friends, The Deathmaster eventually loses his patience with them and dangles them all over a cliff, leaving them only inches away from falling straight into The Void, where they will be consumed by never ending darkness. Pilin, Zoe, Sven and Guard witness this, and are horrified. Pilin believes that he must do the sacrifice, saying that life isn't fair on monsters, and that he's the only one worthy of it. Zoe asks Pilin if he really wants to do it. Pilin answers that of course he doesn't, but he believes he's the only one who deserves to. Zoe disagrees with him, saying that he has far more in life for him, including his friendship with his four new friends, and that his turn from darkness shouldn't be his end. She goes onto say that Sven and Guard have important roles to fill as the leaders of the Legion of Life, while she has no roles to fill, and that she has no worth, which is why she should be doing the sacrifice. Sven discourages her from doing it, saying that she's their friend, but Zoe answers that her role can be replaced by anyone, while they had an irreplaceable role, and that the world would certainly need Ezen and his friends.

Zovan arrives, noting that they've finally found Ezen and have him under their control, though not quite in the way they expected. Coo Coo begs Zovan and The Deathmaster to not resurrect The Void, saying that everything they've worked for will be destroyed. Zovan responds by telling them of a time that The Light and The Dark were the only two living entities in Lijos. He explains that the world was better then, with eternal clashing and balance, but eventually The Dark was imprisoned in its own dimension, becoming The Void. He tells the Bringers of Life that if they are to find true balance, they must bond The Dark once more with The Light, and once more lead to eternal clashing. He then proceeds to bring back The Void with the combined magic of him and Ezen. He then orders The Deathmaster to throw the Bringers of Life into the empty void below, but The Deathmaster simply says that he wants to hear them suffer first, exasperating Zovan. He tells The Deathmaster to join him in Lijos once he's done and leaves with The Void in his control. As The Deathmaster is prepared to have Ezen throw them in, he is suddenly ambushed by Guard and Zoe, as Zoe attacks Ezen, preventing him from doing so and Guard attacks The Deathmaster. As they are about to fall in, Zoe, using Ezen's magic, teleports them to a safe location for now. The Deathmaster orders Ezen to kill them all, and as Ezen is ready to oblige, Pilin suddenly hands him a note, that Ezen quickly realizes belonged to his father. Pilin replies that Ozen regretted leaving Ezen, and that he doesn't want Ezen to be like him. This shatters Ezen as he is unable to move.

The Deathmaster then uses his power and dangles everyone except Zoe, whom he misses, over the edge. He orders Ezen to finish them off, but Ezen feels moved by what Pilin gave him. The Deathmaster says that what he believes and feels doesn't matter anymore, and that he is a servant. He is ready to drop everyone in himself, but then Zoe appears, which angers The Deathmaster. He relentlessly attempts to catch her, but she expertly dodges all of his blasts, and eventually reaches The Deathmaster. Sven demands what she's doing, as it could kill her. Zoe replies by saying that this is the only way, and that she will supply all her undead energy into The Deathmaster, which will kill him and free Komodi and Ezen. However, she would be killed too. The Bringers of Life protest against her doing it, but she does it anyway, seeing that there was no other way to free Ezen. She tearfully bids them farewell, begging them to be happy, as she destroys herself and The Deathmaster once and for all, and completely releases Ezen from his control. There is nothing left of Zoe by the time this is done, and everyone is heartbroken at this.

Ezen completely blames himself for this, as he was the one who was possessed, but Sven disagrees, saying it was his own fault, and that he should have made the sacrifice. As they all mourn her death, Komodi appears, and she and Coo Coo kiss in a reunion. Komodi says that they are in danger now more than ever, as Zovan is making his way to Lijos right now with the power of The Void with him. She tells them that she has a fast transport to Lijos, and that they need to be ready to face him there. Chappal says that they don't have all the Tree of Life pieces, but by now, they have no choice, otherwise Lijos will be destroyed along with everyone in it. Komodi installs the fast transport, and they get ready for the battle of a lifetime.

Dabsar, Chappal, Zian, Sven, Guard, Coo Coo, Pilin and Zoe arrive in Lijos, except it's completely destroyed and burned. Zian is shocked at how much damage the Order of Magma managed to do in such little time. As Coo Coo tries sensing around the battlefield to see where everyone is, she realizes most of the Order of Magma are at the top of the mountain, while Pozan and Azen are under the mountain and the Magma Queen is in the sky, raining fire down below. Pilin says that Pozan is his fight, and Ezen and Zian agree to go with him, as Azen is there too. Dabsar, Sven and Guard decide to face the remaining soldiers of the Order of Magma, while Chappal and Coo Coo face the notorious Magma Queen. They all go, with the fate of Lijos in their hands.

As they reach the top of the mountain, Dabsar, Sven and Guard finally find the rest of the Legion of Life (Cutie, Mmea, Ocie, Puerto, Baana, Sid, Bob, Feza). Cutie and Mmea ask if they found Ezen. Dabsar explains that they have, and they have all split up to deal with their own battles, and that right now, they have to deal with basically the entire Order of Magma. The Legion of Life is ready for this threat, as they all cheer for them, and get ready to shake the heavens with their battle cry. Eventually, Baibee, Vogana and Leethos appear, ready to fight them. Baibee promises to bring an enormous army of zombies, while Vogana attacks them with her magic, Leethos simply watches from above. As this happens, a battle begins, with the Legion of Life relentlessly attacking Vogana and Baibee as well as the army, while Dabsar, using a bow and arrow, attacks Leethos. After a while of fighting, Vogana's magic suddenly stops working, Baibee's army completely deserts him while Leethos simply loses his motivation to fight, and so the Legion of Life wins. Baibee is terrified that his mother will find out what he's been up to, so begs the Legion of Life to not tell her. Sven denies this, saying that he'll definitely be telling his mom what happened. He decides since they're all technically underage, they can't go to jail, so they would have to serve in community service and juvenile prison. Leethos is disgusted by this, while Sid is greatly pleased that his brother finally lost against him at something.

Meanwhile, in the sky, Chappal and Coo Coo are getting ready to face the Magma Queen. Chappal is afraid, as the Magma Queen has her own power that is much stronger than theirs, but she also had the combined power of Coo Coo's chaos magic, thus making this battle, according to Coo Coo, extremely difficult, if not impossible. Chappal is nervous, but Coo Coo offers something, that she has very little chaos magic left in her. It wasn't enough to get them out of the situation in the Void, but it may be enough now to stand up the Magma Queen. Coo Coo casts a spell on Chappal so that she is able to fly, with firework rockets in one of her hotbar places. Chappal and Coo Coo then confront the Magma Queen. The Magma Queen mutters how she remembers them, and asks Chappal if she remembers the Magma Queen. Chappal bitterly responds that yes, she did remember, the way the Magma Queen manipulated them, and that her friendship was fake, and so were her motives. The Magma Queen agrees with her, showing no remorse, going on to say that *everything* she does is fake, and that she even plans to betray Zovan so that she's the only living entity left in Lijos, going to show that she has no respect for anyone whatsoever, and is perfectly willing to murder innocents in order to achieve what she wants. Coo Coo tells Chappal that trying to figure out the Magma Queen's endgame is too difficult, as she is too stupid to figure out, and they shouldn't waste their time. Chappal hugs her sister, thanking her for her help. Coo Coo says you're welcome, and they begin to fight.

After a while of fighting, Chappal and Coo Coo are both exhausted, and the Magma Queen continues to have the upper hand. She mocks them, demanding if they actually thought they could defeat her. Coo Coo responds by saying that she didn't, but had to try anyway, or else Lijos would burn. The Magma Queen prepares to kill them both, but then suddenly, Coo Coo Junior intervenes, and attacks the Magma Queen. She is joined by Crazy, Waawa and Komodi who all arrive to fight the Magma Queen and keep her from destroying Lijos. Waawa and Komodi cast a spell on the Magma Queen, and completely destroy all the magic in her, and give the magic that from Coo Coo that she had back to Coo Coo. The Magma Queen is furious at this humiliating defeat. As she attempts one last time to kill her, Crazy spits that her game is over, and that she will dwell in the Obsidian Palace for the remaining of her life. Chappal comments that that's a pretty harsh sentence, given that her entire soul would eventually be destroyed, and she would become an entirely new person. Coo Coo Junior remarks that after all the pain and suffering she's caused, not only to her (fake) siblings, but to the entire world, she completely deserves it. Coo Coo Junior, Crazy and Waawa take her away. Komodi stays behind and gives Coo Coo another kiss. Chappal makes fun of Coo Coo that she now has a love interest, which annoys Coo Coo. She asks Chappal if she should be helping her friends, to which Chappal replies there's nothing she can do besides hope that they're doing alright.

After some pursuing, Pilin finally cries out "ENOUGH, POZAN!", which causes Pozan to smirk and commend Pilin for being able to call him by his name rather than "father" or "sir". Pilin replies that Pozan never treated him like a son, and only as a weapon or a slave. Pozan simply replies that that's all he is to anyone, a weapon that they use for their own purposes. Zian strongly disagrees, saying that they value him for his morals and his kindness, not for his strength. Azen simply scoffs at the notion of Pilin and Ezen working together against both her and Pozan. Pozan tells her that there's no need for Ezen or Pilin to be alive anymore, so they can be killed now. Ezen begs Azen to not do this, and asks what Ozen thinks. Azen calls Ezen an idiot, saying that Ozen is dead, and has been for years, saying he couldn't live with himself anymore (aka, committed suicide). Ezen is horrified by this, and he tries to reach out to Azen, but Azen doesn't let him. Pilin wishes to fight Pozan alone, while Azen will fight Ezen alone, so Zian decides to simply keep watch for Zovan. Thus, Pilin and Ezen then battle Pozan and Azen.

After quite some time of fighting, Azen's power has completely outweighed Ezen, to the point where he's essentially hopeless. He continues to beg her not to, but Azen refuses, and continues hitting and attempting to kill Ezen in blind rage. She goes into a rant about how Ezen was the one who abandoned her, and that it's his fault that she's in the position that she is today. As she continues to attack and hit Ezen, Ezen eventually stops blaming himself, and realizes that he isn't to blame. Just as Azen is about to deliver the fatal blow, Ezen fights back, using his wits and intelligence to confuse her, and push her backwards. He eventually is able to disable her magic by punching her down a cliff, weakening her. Azen demands that he "finish it", but Ezen refuses, saying that he's disappointed in her, and that Izen would be too. He then leaves to find Pilin.

Pilin unfortunately isn't having the same luck. He is continuously being successfully hit and struck by Pozan, with even greater consequences now that he has Coo Coo's chaos magic as well. Pozan mocks him, saying that he's weak. He tells him that Pilin needs him, but he doesn't need Pilin. Pilin struggles to argue, saying that he never needed him. Pozan simply smirks and strikes him. Zian tries to come in from behind and defend him, but Pozan simply strikes him, and this successfully weakens Zian. Pozan then moves back to Pilin, and strikes him again. He then gets ready to deliver the final blow, calling him "pathetic, weak... alone". Pilin then sees both Ezen and Zian give him an encouraging nod. This gives him the strength and courage he needs, as he fights back against Pozan by punching him across the face, thus causing his father to lose control over himself, and strike himself, disabling his powers. Pilin goes on to say that Pozan was the weak one, not Pilin, as he could have chosen to leave his abusive father, chosen to leave the Order of Magma and stand up to the Magma Queen, but he refused to, and that is what led him into this position, while Pilin chose to leave the Order of Magma and seek a better future, unlike Pozan who let the oppression stay the same.

Ezen shows up and congratulates Pilin for what he managed to do, which Pilin thanks. Before they are able to celebrate long enough, Zian catches sight of Zovan arriving in Lijos, with The Void directly behind him. Zovan announces that he is about to destroy Lijos, saying that all the people there are part of a "noble sacrifice", and not a massacre, in order to ensure that peace is brought to the long, corrupt world. Chappal and Coo Coo attempt to discuss with one another how to stop him, but Coo Coo's chaos magic is still weakened as it was just given back to her. Crazy also reports that Zovan with The Void is currently at his weakest, and will only grow stronger the more he is allowed to absorb the power of The Void. Regardless, they are left with no way to help.

Up on the mountain, the Legion of Life looks to Sven for a solution on how to defeat The Void, but Sven is unable to give one, and Dabsar's awful encouraging skills don't exactly help either. He goes on a rant on himself, believing that he's unworthy to be commander of the Legion of Life, and that Nadu managed to succeed because she was a natural leader, unlike him. The other Legion of Life soldiers, however, disagree. Ocie tells Sven that it wasn't Nadu's mind or her skills that helped her win; Puerto concluded by saying it was her heart. Feza went on by saying that the reason Nadu never lost, and the reason she was worthy for this mantle, and the reason she became the legend that she is, is because she never gave up, and that Sven should refuse to give up as well. Sven asks who will stand with him, which Dabsar responds that he'll stand, and Guard agrees as well, that the entire Legion of Life will stand alongside him as they combat The Void, and if they die, they will die together, remembered as the warriors they were born. Meanwhile under the mountain, Zian prepares to lift off to do whatever he can. Ezen is about to follow him, but suddenly falls over, clutching his stomach. Zian is worried for him, but Pilin tells him to leave, that the world needs him right now, and that he'll look after Ezen. Reluctantly, Zian leaves to fight The Void. Pilin asks what's wrong, and Ezen replies saying that his magic that he took in Myrkur was limited, and that he used up most of it. He also explains that being possessed by The Deathmaster left him very vulnerable, and now fighting with Azen left him with hardly any of his magic powers anymore. Pilin demands what he's saying, and Ezen says "it's over for me". He closes his eyes and begins to darkness, to Pilin's horror. Despite Pilin crying for Ezen to not die, Ezen still slips away, slowly losing consciousness... and his life.

As Zian arrives before The Void, The Void manifests a physical form, into an enderman. He asks Zian who he is, to which Zian replies that he is the apprentice of Ezmio the Powerful Sorcerer, and that he is here to avenge his master. The Void replies "do your worst", prepared to combat him. The two exchange blasts for a while, until eventually, quite expectantly, The Void is able to easily overpower Zian and strike him. Before Zian can die however, Cutie and Mmea are able to save him. As they discuss what to do next, as The Void is seconds away from destroying the world, Zovan grabs Cutie and Mmea, but not before they get Zian to safety. He mocks them for their efforts, and is about to destroy all of Lijos and let them watch it be destroyed before he destroys it to. He mutters how the world is terrible at accepting fate. He begins to channel the power of The Void, and the world begins to disintegrate.

Under the mountain, Pilin is clutching at Ezen's body, doing everything he can to keep him from dying. Ezen questions why Pilin is so eager to keep him alive, as they'd only known each other for a few months. Pilin replies that he's the first person to ever show true compassion, and that Pilin couldn't use. As he is busy doing everything he can to save Ezen, Pozan sneaks up on them from behind. As he is ready to stab Pilin and kill him once and for all, to everyone's shock, Azen suddenly intervenes and kicks Pozan down the hill, and into the ground. Pilin is shocked to see Azen do this due to their previous major grievances. Azen gives her pearl to Ezen which, according to enderman magic law, automatically becomes Ezen's original pearl. Due to this, Ezen is able to gain enough power to live. Azen then proceeds to quickly teleport Pilin and Ezen out of the range of Pozan's blast. She then attacks Pozan. Pozan demands to know what she's doing, and Azen replies that she's done one good thing in her life. Pozan scoffs at this, believing that their father raised two weaklings. Sadly, Azen agrees with him, saying that she is, indeed, weak, for not choosing to leave, and for choosing to join the Order of Magma. She looks at Ezen, and asks him for forgiveness. Ezen gives it, but begs her not to do this. Azen smiles at him, saying that both he and Pilin are pure, in the sense that they believe in second chances for everyone. She adds, however, that some people not only don't deserve the second chance, but will never take the second chance, and will always remain the same. She gestures to herself and Pozan, knowing that the two of them would continue spiraling down. Before, however, she is able to lay the final blow, the Void suddenly shows up and interrupts the emotional moment by remorselessly killing Pozan. He explains that he can do it because Pozan has no good left in him, and decides that Azen should be next. Zian attacks the Void while prompting Ezen and Pilin to save Azen. In the meantime, the Void continues spreading out its multiple vessels and confronts the Legion of Life atop the mountain as well as the Demons and begins fighting them, while Ezen and Pozan continue trying to talk Azen out of her trance. Ultimately, Ezen manages to get through to her be reminding her of all the times she was there for him, and begs Azen to let him be there for her. Azen is saved, and jokingly remarks how needy Ezen is before destroying the Void's proxy form. She then leaves, much to the dismay of Ezen. He and Pilin have a heart to heart about how both of their abusers have left their lives, and how they feel about it. Pilin acknowledges that he isn't truly upset about Pozan dying as he had caused nothing but pain. After this, Pilin thanks Ezen, prompting Ezen to ask why, and Pilin simply states that Ezen was the first person to ever show true love and compassion towards him, and the two share a moment (which Ezen uses to pat Pilin on the head, a hinted romantic gesture). However, their moment is interrupted by the orb that Ezen is carrying, which begins glowing, causing both boys to conclude that this is, in fact, the final Tree of Life piece.

As Zovan continues to destroy Lijos with brutality and no mercy, The Void is suddenly stopped, the sky turns bright, and the rain stops all of a sudden. Zovan is confused, and then Zian suddenly sees Ezen flying, which greatly confuses him. Zovan questions how Ezen was able to stop The Void from destroying Lijos, as he is the most powerful Void wizard, not Ezen. Cutie responds by saying that it isn't Void magic Ezen is using; it's life magic, and that he is the Life Bringer, an entity that counteracts The Void completely. Zovan vows to rise again, but Ezen debunks his statement, and, with a single spell, erases Zovan from existence, banishes The Void back to their dimension for good, and restores Lijos to before all the damage was done to it by the Order of Magma. Mewi is released from his prison, and he reunites with Coo Coo, Komodi, Crazy, Waawa, Coo Coo Junior and Chappal. They all share a group hug, with the Demons being reformed, except no longer corrupted. Chappal wonders if they'll let the Magma Queen into this hug, to which the others instantly say no, which Chappal agrees with. On the other side of the world, the City of Life is restored, with Sven, Guard, Dabsar, Feza, Ocie, Puerto, Baana, Bob and Sid all teleported to it. They all express their delight on winning. Guard eventually interrupts, disappointing them all by saying that they should probably get to cleaning up the world. Dabsar remarks that he's definitely ruined the mood. Back at the Land of Xora, Cutie is relieved that the past conflict has finally resolved, as Mmea and Zian vocally celebrate in very odd ways including screaming. Meanwhile, Pilin and Ezen have their own conversation. Ezen thanks Pilin for all his help, though Pilin responds that Ezen is the one who saved the world, not him. Ezen simply smirks, saying that he just happened to be the Life Bringer. Pilin never had a written destiny, he merely climbed his way out of the darkness and seized control of his destiny himself. He offers for Pilin to live in the Land of Xora alongside his friends. Pilin delightfully accepts, wanting to be alongside his true friends, as he gazes at Dabsar, Chappal, Coo Coo, Zian, Mmea and Cutie behind them. They discuss what they should be doing next. Dabsar suggests going to the Legion of Life in order to help repair the world after the war, as there are still many scars left. They all agree. Ezen says that they should restore the Tree of Life piece first, and they all agree to this. The episode, and series, ends on Ezen saying that they'll do it together, as they've always done and always have been.
