Act 8 (Final act) Chapter 2

“Is everyone ready? Master Archer should be arriving with the ship soon.” Firepaw asked. “Okay, so we have Rin, Cheesepaw, Coplo, Flameclaw, Merax, me, and that random gray cat who likes sitting on floating barriers,” Hexa answered. “I think we got everyone.” “My name. IS. VEX!” Vex shouted at Hexa, throwing a rock at him. Hexa caught the rock and threw it back at Vex, hitting Vex on the head. “Ow...” Vex muttered, rubbing his head. “We got everybody, Firepaw,” Rin said. “Do we have to take a ship? Can’t we just use a portal to get to where Eclipse is?” Coplo asked, yawning.

“Well, Coplo, that was the plan until you wanted to stay up all night playing video games with Vex,” Cheesepaw replied. “Even Firepaw told you to sleep.” “But it was Pokémon Scarlet!” Coplo shouted. Merax gave a slight laugh.

Everyone turned their attention to the sky as a large ship landed on the pink grass. Hexa grabbed

Coplo and Cheesepaw before jumping towards the ship and suddenly disappearing. Flameclaw, Merax, and Vex gasped. “Don’t worry about Hexa. That is just how we enter the jump.” Firepaw told Flameclaw, Merax, and Vex before leaping towards the ship and disappearing himself.

“Wait for me!” Vex shouted as he leaped toward the ship and disappeared. Rin shrugged and teleported (I got lazy lol).

Merax and Flameclaw looked at each other and nodded. They both got ready to leap toward the ship but were suddenly stopped by someone shouting Flameclaw’s name. “Flameclaw!” Rose shouted, running toward Flameclaw and Merax. “Rose? What happened?” Flameclaw asked. As Rose reached Flameclaw, she picked him up in the air and caught him.

“Woah! Chill out, Rose!” Flameclaw said. “Why didn’t you tell me you were leaving so early?” Rose asked, giving Flameclaw and head pat. “I thought I wouldn't have time to give you your gift!” “Gift?” Flameclaw asked. Rose let Flameclaw down and took out a necklace with a pink shard. “This,” Rose said, putting the necklace around Flameclaw’s neck. “It’s a part of the Gem of Creation. It’s not as powerful as the actual Gem of Creation, but it should be helpful.”

“T-thank you,” Flameclaw said, looking at the shard. Flameclaw smiled. “I’ll take care of it.” Rose gave Flameclaw another head pat. “Good. Take care, little friend.” “What about me?” Merax asked. Rose gave Merax a look that made Merax shiver. “Right, I wished I could’ve joined you lot, but I must protect this place. Hopefully, we shall meet again.” Rose said. Flameclaw nodded. “Once all of this is over, I’ll bring back Vex and Eclipse,” Flameclaw said. “Until then, stay safe.”

Rose watched as Merax and Flameclaw jumped toward the ship and disappeared. The ship slowly lifted above the ground and shot off into the sky at light speeds, leaving behind a powerful gust of wind to hit Rose. Rose looked up at the sky once again and smiled.

“Stay safe, Flameclaw.”

“Aye, wake up mutt.” Omnizerax opened her eyes to see herself back in the Soul Realm. She was in the same hotel room. “Over here, dude.” Aspin waved his hand. Omnizerax yawned. “Why did you bring me here?” Omni asked, rubbing her eyes. “To give you directions on where to go next, of course,” Aspin answered “However, there is a side quest I want you to do.”

“Side quest? Are you treating me like a main character now?” Omni growled. “No. I mean, I could, but I am not evil.” Aspin answered. “However, if you want the next gem, you’ll need an army.” “An army? Why?” Omnizerax asked once more.

Aspin smiled. “I’ll tell you more when the time comes,” Aspin said. “But have you ever heard of The Day of Endings?”
