The GOOL Story Part 5

*As the gang stares up at the sky, looking at the army of fallen angels over Washongol, they get a really bad feeling. Tarold says they have to get to Washongol as soon as possible. Jerry says he came in a car and will gladly lend it to them. They thank Jerry, for everything he did, and quickly drive off.*

*When they arrive in the city, the fallen angels are still swarming up above, which makes Tarold wonder what they’re waiting for. They approach Washong, who says they came out of nowhere and started circling above Mercury Tower, the capital building. They’ve been doing that for two hours straight, with the citizens growing more scared by the minute. Tarold tells Washong to evacuate as many people as possible and not to engage with the horde. He says he’ll try to stop this conflict himself. Washong wishes him and his friends good luck and they drive to Mercury Tower.*

*They go through and immediately encounter two Fallen Angels, with Charlie and Moose staying behind to take them on as the others run forward. They begin to ascend, until they encounter two more Fallen Angels, forcing Wilbur and Larwin to stay back and confront them, leaving Tarold to go up alone. He then encounters another Fallen Angel and battles it himself. Tarold makes it to the top and the others soon arrive in suit after defeating their own foes. They step on the roof and Tarold calls out to Gaivinore to stop what he’s doing. From the swarm, Samurai, Charles, Butch and Shawn descend.*

*Charles says they’re too late, their army is almost done building energy for an attack that will devastate every citizen of Washongol ,and there’s nothing they can do about it. The gang fights the angels, with Larwin once again facing Samurai and Charlie fighting Charles. When Butch attempted to confront Tarold once again, Shawn steps in and says the fight is his. Moose accepts (fighting Tarold gets boring after a while) and battles Wilbur and Moose.*

*As they all fight, Tarold argues with Shawn over what he did. He says that he thought Shawn was his friend, he saved them during the invasion and saved Tarold’s life when all hope was lost. He can’t understand how Shawn could do such a thing. Shawn says he’s sorry for betraying him, but he claims to have had no other choice. He says that now, with the power of colorless delharia in his hands, he feels stronger and mightier than he ever did before. He says Gaivinore will help him achieve his goal, whereas it would’ve never been met if he stayed with Tarold. Tarold is enraged and fights back aggressively.*

*Larwin manages to defeat Samurai in combat. With their ongoing rivalry, Samurai says he is honored to have been defeated by a warrior as brave and courageous as Larwin and wishes him good fortunate in his future, despite them being on opposite sides. Samurai then dies, as a true warrior.*

*However, Charles manages to get the upper hand and impales Charlie through the chest with his Alamancer. Charlie falls to the ground and Tarold stares in horror. He runs to Charlie, who is coughing up blood, and tries to patch up the wound, but the sword went through his vital organs. There’s nothing Tarold can do but support Charlie’s head and comfort him until he sees the life leave his eyes.*

*Just then, the angels above stop immediately halt in the air and Charles, Butch and Shawn rise to join them. Gaivinore then descends from above. And says for Tarold not to feel bad, since he’s about to witness the beginning of something beautiful. And with that, all the angels then unleash a massive mist, just like the one Gaivinore emitted on them, downward. It proceeds to cover the entire city and minutes, and Tarold and friends watch as it descends upon every person inside and turns them into fallen angels, now enslaved by Gaivinore.*

*Seeing this, Tarold all of a sudden lets out an ear-piercing scream of agony. Everything is too much for him: Shawn’s betrayal, the resurrection of Gaivinore, Charlie dying, and now the transformation of thousands of innocent people into monsters, all bear on his shoulders. Suddenly, his entire body engulfs into a shape of pure white light, just like he did a year ago in his final battle. He then rises into the area and rockets towards Gaivinore.*

*Tarold and Gaivinore have a battle in the air. Tarold attacks ferociously, with more aggression than he ever did before. However, his rage was impairing his judgement and Gaivinore was outmaneuvering him. Eventually, the two shoot giant beams of delharia at each other and have a standoff of white and colorless delharia. Just when Tarold thought he was getting the upper hand, Gaivinore unleashes a burst of energy, overpowering Tarold and hitting him with the beam. The beam was so powerful that it knocks Tarold out of the sky, sending him crashing into the roof of the building. Moose barely manages to catch him out of the area in time. The white delharia enveloping him is now gone and he is unconscious.*

*Gaivinore descends with his victory and says to Wilbur, Larwin and Moose that he has defeated their leader and they are now helpless; they may as well give up now and accept the inevitable. The three look to each other with hope gone, since Gaivinore is right. They are surrounded by enemies and powerless.*

*But just then, they see a jet flying below. The three look at each other and jump off the building. They fall into the jet and quickly fly away. The fallen angels pursue them, but they are too slow. Apparently, Moose secretly called a jet over as soon as Charlie died.*

*The three look below and see the elf-turned fallen angels on the streets. They are defeated and hopeless, with Tarold and Charlie’s absence cutting deeper than any sword. They sit in silence as they fly through the sky, having no idea where to go, what to do, or how they will ever win.*

#### *Two Weeks Later*

*Two Fallen Angel guards talk near a prison cell about the Supreme Leader’s plans, now that Washongol is secured and all the elf nations are in utter terror of them. They say that he is renaming the city “Gavenel”, and that all is going according to his plan. They then walk out of the dungeon.*

*Inside the cell, Tarold is unconscious on a bed with black veins protruding through his body and his skin pale as white. All of a sudden, he opens two purplish black eyes.*
