## What Happened

Slimey and Zak meet up at Town Square in preparation to kill Gykallis, but have the realization that they have no idea where he even is. As they are discussing where they should start looking, Juniper announces that she knows that Au'ora is dead and that theres now nothing stopping her from becoming all powerful. She boasts that she's impossible to kill with the power of the activated Vine Shrines and flies off to go be evil or something.

Zak picks up by what exactly she meant by the temples and immediately tried to locate where one was. As they were heading over however, they heard a conversation between Uno and Juniper, with Juniper "showing Uno the light". When they eventually got there, Uno acted extremely violently towards Zak and Slimey, and they were forced to kill her in order to shut down the shrine she was guarding. This process repeated with the rest of the Grape Clones until they realized there was only one left, Grape Prime herself.

Prime had slept in through her alarm clock and woke up to see Juniper at the foot of her bed. She noticed that all of the other grapes had gone missing and immediately became concerned. Juniper rambled a little while about the light before Prime screamed out for help. Zak finally managed to locate Prime, but it was already too late. Grapes body seemed to lash out at the duo while Juniper's voice was broadcasted through Grape's voice like a radio. Slimey and Zak both suffered a death before managing to defeat her, and Primes body collapsed into goo.

Juniper is surprised that Slimey and Zak managed to take down all of the grapes but brushes them off, thinking that she'll just hide away from them so they can never kill her. In response Slimey gets ready to launch his FUCKING METEOR NUKE. Juniper finally shows her face after that and attacks them head on. During the fight, Zak almost manages to drown Juniper under the water with his frostwalker boots. While he's doing this, Slimey enters the facility to get his meteor gear and other powerful items from inside the facility. Juniper finally gets too tired to fight back against them and kneels down for her final words. She tells Zak that "she could not have done this without his help" and thanks him before she's slain by Slimey with his meteorite sword.

At first the duo is confused as to what they meant, but quickly released that Juniper was referring to Gykallis, and that they can now challenge him. Shortly after the nature god himself announces across the land that he is ready to be challenged. He tells them he'll be waiting, so Zak void walks to the old facility. This is when Slimey discovers there's a giant fucking train in the side of it for "unknown" reasons. After that revelation, the gang gets back on the main path, when they see Gykallis standing near the end of it. He had created a small island for the dual to take place, and offered to walk Slimey and Zak across to it. Both of them realize that the nature god maybe wasn't as bad as they first thought... but Zak quickly brushes these feelings off and goes back to wanting to slay the god.

Slimey tells him to cool it for a second and askes Gykallis if he could see his soul and shows him Au'ora's soul. He explains that maybe he and Au'ora are somehow linked and maybe he could just give them his soul. Gyk is unsure of this idea, and doesn't even know if its possible to just give them his soul. And so Slimey finally pulls out his weapons and challenges god. The battle was intense, and for the longest time it seemed like Gykallis wasn't taking any damage at all. Just as things were starting to look hopeless, Zak heard shattering of glass, and suddenly, the god seemed to fall from grace. They finally got him to kneel down and congratulated the duo on their victory. He told Zak to take his final strike, and with one slash, it was all over. Cupped in the hands of his corpse was the Soul of Life, which was taken promptly by Zak.

The realization that they have no fucking idea what to do with these two souls now dawned upon Zak and he throws a fit that they literally just killed two gods for absolutely no reason. Then an idea strikes him, go to the literally fucking SOUL FORGE he has in his house and put them back together. He tries to do this and... yeah nope still not working. But then in a twist of events, his hammer speaks to him just like the Sword of Darkness and tells him there's an old forge that used to belong to him. So they look for it for a while, all while trying to avoid dying because Gykallis literally cannot save their asses if they do.

They finally unearth the thing, fuse the two souls together, and create the Heart of the Primordial God. It does... absolutely nothing. Zak is so absolutely pissed he throws it on the ground in anger. Shortly afterwards, the Heart launches into the sky, a choir of angels voices rain down from the heavens and the sound of the earth splitting open could be heard all across Farcombe. The gang quickly traces down the source of the sound, and witnessed with their own two eyes the Primordial God, Aukallus.

This bibically accurate angel lookin mf explains to Zak and Slimey why he had left all those eons ago, and the tale of Gykallis and Au'ora. He tells them that he'll be watching them and making sure they don't pull anymore stupid bullshit, and leaves. Gykallis is then brought back in his primordial form which made up of pure light. Slimey tells him that apparently he has a dad and Gyk is all like huh that's wack. They test to see if they can die without any repercussions, and they come back just like before, but without Gykallis's help. Gyk then realizes how BIG of a deal this is because this means he can finally take a break from saving all the dead souls in the Overworld and can take a much needed vacation.
