Author's Note: Unedited Chapter
-------------------------
He was clad in a majestic royal blue robe with green patterns.
The one sitting on this throne was none other than Emperor Dhios.
General Borl lowered one knee to the ground before speaking, "We have a problem," He stated.
Emperor Dhios's eyes squinted before replying, "I sensed something was amiss… tell me everything,"

~The Palace Dungeon~
The initial destruction and multiple quakes that plagued the place had come to a stop. A large part of the dungeon stairway had been obliterated and a large area of the walls were missing, leaving only holes that further led underground.
A figure stood about three feet deep within the structure with disbelief in her eyes.
Her armor had been blown off in most parts, exposing her feminine skin which was now reddened with blood. Staggering, she took a step backward as her eyes went from the female figure completely clad in silvery armor, down to her body. She sighted a large, visible, hole in her belly.
Ivreen turned her head to stare at the massive, silver drill-like projectile embedded into the wall behind her.
Thiisshhhh~
Steam erupted from the hole in her belly region as the silvery, drill-shaped weapon happened to be extremely hot.
"Your mistake was thinking I reached my limit with how I can manipulate my abilities… I can apply it in ways that your mind will never be able to comprehend," Matilda voiced as she stretched her hand forward.
The massive, silvery, drill-like weapon pulled out of the wall and transformed into a flaming sword that sliced Ivreen's arms off while returning to Matilda's grasp.
She caught it and swung it sideways, causing the blood on the blade to splash across a part of the stairway.
Prior to that, she had made one of her silver projectiles tiny enough that it couldn't be seen or even sensed. By the time it went through Ivreen's protective cluster of needles, it was too late for her to detect.
The silvery drill suddenly turned massive the moment it pierced through her belly and caught flames before drilling through her, all in an instant.
"Remember I told you your power wasn't enough…?" Even muttered weakly.
"I wasn't talking about myself…" Her voice trailed off as she gave up the ghost mid-speech.
Anxiety and fear instantly spread across Matilda's face as she stared at Ivreen's lifeless body that continued to remain in a standing position even after her death.
Bang!
A massive blast suddenly rang out as a hole appeared above the structure.
Fwwwwwhhhhiiii~
Before Matilda could react a figure descended from above and appeared beside her with incredible speed.
A glowing red blade was already swinging towards her right side with incredible energy spreading from it as it cut through the air.
Matilda hastily raised her right arm to protect herself as silver covering materialized around her arm to form a double layer of protection.
Her eyes widened as the blade sliced through the silvery layers of protection with ease… cleaving through her right arm in the process.
While she was still in a state of disorientation, another figure had descended from above but this one continued falling towards the bottom of the dungeon.
….
At the bottom of the palace dungeon, a figure in a black outfit stood before a thirty-foot-tall door with weird designs on it. He had a rhombus-shaped piece of machinery in his grasp. He turned around to stare at the scene behind him.
Guards were strewn across the ground and passed out. If one were to look at the path that led towards the left behind, they would find the scenery to be exact as well.
"So this is what he meant when he said drugs," Toldou voiced with a tone of realization.
It turned out that Tuenviq had laced the meals
of all the guards around with sleeping drugs. Since he was also a guard, he was able to successfully pull this off based on Matilda's request.
"Phew~ I thought I would meet my end after reaching here," He let out a sigh of relief as he moved closer to the massive decorated door.
He paused when he was only one foot away with a look of hesitation.
"What if guards are waiting on the other end of the door? I should wait for them before thinking of going in." He decided to wait for Tuenviq to arrive.
Toldou sat on the rocky floor for a couple of minutes before he felt the entire place rumbling.
"He must have opened it… great," Toldou had a relieved expression on his face as he spoke.
Thrreeeevvv~
The massive door before him suddenly sprung open as well. His eyes widened as he swiftly picked up the rhombus-shaped piece of machinery and ran to the side to hide himself.
He let out heavy breaths as he stood by the left side of the large door and waited. After waiting for nearly a minute, he realized that no one stepped out of the door. He slowly tiptoed to the side and peeked from the ledge of the door. His eyes widened in disbelief once more as what appeared in his line of sight was something he hadn't expected in the slightest.
Within the door was a heavenly garden with all sorts of beautiful greenery and an artificial sun located within an artificial sky. A bunch of purple-skinned figures in white garments could be seen moving around.
"This is supposed to be a prison for Her Majesty and the rest of the royal family and guards who survived?" Toldou still couldn't believe his eyes.
"I'd rather live here than on the surface…" He muttered before realizing that they didn't have any free will.
"Hmm no guards," He noticed there were no guards around but then realized that without free will they couldn't escape even if the opportunity presented itself.
'If only I knew how to activate the Separator Machine…' He thought with a look of cluelessness.
At this same moment, the sound of multiple footsteps suddenly pandered into his eardrums.
"Guards?" Toldou instantly became scared and began to take steps backward.
In a couple of moments, a group of eight appeared in his line of sight.
He squinted his eyes for a second before beaming up with a smile, "Tuenviq… Old Riole!" He yelled with a tone of excitement.
"Quick! Quick!" He added as they ran as quickly as their legs could carry them.
They soon arrived before the door as well but this was no time to admire the view within.
"Activate it quick!" Toldou said with a tone of urgency as he passed the piece of machinery to Old Riole.
Riole immediately took it from his possession and set it down. Without wasting a single second he began tapping on the multiple buttons on the piece of machinery.
"Don't you need to get closer?" Tuenviq questioned.
"As long as they are within a one-mile radius it should work," Riole answered while focusing on working the machinery.
"Now shut up and let me work," He uttered before Tuenviq could ask another question.
Pat! Pat! Pat! Pat!
"Almost there…" He said after ten seconds had gone by.
"It should be…"
Fwwwoommshhh~
An unexpected situation suddenly occurred as Old Riole's entire body was suddenly yanked across the air by an unfathomable energy.
"Old Riole!" They yelled as he got dragged into the garden prison.
This was when they noticed that every single royal within the door had glowing red eyes.
In their midst was a beautiful purple-skinned female with long flowing black hair and a black mark on her forehead. Her left arm was outstretched and Old Riole floated before her in a daze.
"Your majesty no!" Toldou yelled.
"They're being controlled… which means… the emperor is aware," Tuenviq's jaw dropped as he came to this realization.
Everyone else eyes widened as well as they heard this.
"We need to get him back from them right away!"
Tuenviq yelled as he bounced forward like a spring while the others ran in haphazardly.
Due to their lack of coordination and numbers, Dahria couldn't focus on every single one of them at the same time. This helped Tuenviq's approach as he bounced once more while the others were getting swooned around.
He descended from the air right above Dahria and sent a kick at her face, causing her to crash towards the ground.
"Sorry Your Majesty," He voiced with an apologetic tone as he grabbed Old Riole and turned around.
"I got him!" He yelled while bouncing forward once more.
At this moment, an unexpected occurrence suddenly played out.
Thhwwoosshhh~
A burst of wind whooshed past them and Tuenviq stared at his arm in a daze while he was still in mid-air.
"Uh?" He mumbled as he noticed it was empty.
Not only was Old Man Riole missing but even his entire arm was gone.
"AHHHH!" He cried in pain as he dropped from the air with blood gushing uncontrollably from his shoulder which was missing an arm.
"If this person dies, that machine cannot be operated… am I right?"
A domineering voice suddenly reverberated across the vicinity.
