Lord Ejeeth, I like to spend the rest of my days with my family, goodbye, said Royston.
Don’t say goodbye yet. If fate must have its way we might end up seeing each other. Dusk is about to fall as it’s a new moon night so there won’t be enough light after a few minutes, please prepare to board and have a safe journey, said Lord Ejeeth.
Royston thanked everyone in the coast and ran towards the empyrean ocean, pushed the boat into the ocean, jumped into it and paddled. The people bid goodbye, they were experiencing mixed emotions, their eyes welled up with tears and at the same time their hearts were filled with joy.
Royston took the Key of Emrath and dropped it into the ocean simultaneously bidding goodbye to everyone on the coast. The Key of emrath opened the maelstrom portal, Royston’s boat started to spin in its vortex. Ex-nature god feared the maelstrom portal and held onto the boat. Maelstrom spun heavier and the current was so strong that Royston fell out of the boat, he went deep into the ocean and fell unconscious.
When he came back to consciousness, he swam upwards and came out of the ocean and realized that it was not the empyrean ocean in Empyrea but it was the river Nile in Egypt. Royston had reached earth and viewed the biggest pyramids in the heat of the sun.
Thank god!!! I reached my place safe said Royston and breathed a sigh of relief.

Ext-Empyrea, Vathura- Evening
The Emra (sun) is setting and it looks like it’s going inside the closing vortex of the maelstrom portal. The sun set at Empyrea when the maelstrom portal was closing in. All the people who gathered in the coast returned to their places.
On his way back to the palace Lord Manav saw three dark smoking meteors in the sky. It was raining down at the speed of ten thousand horse power. It hit the portal of the vortex and went right into it.
But Lord Manav’s gaze shifted to Lord Ejeeth when he discovered a broken piece of some strong metal on the ground. There were more steel plates on the ground. Lord Ejeeth picked one of them and cleared the mud. Lord Manav's face turned red looking at the designs on it.
Lord!! Why the dreaded look? What does this design mean? Does that convey any evil message? asked Lord Ejeeth.
Lord Manav let out a frustrating OMG. Lord!! This is not the design, these are alphabets and numbers used by the people of the Earth. It says here- A-351!! These broken steel plates are the parts of a chopper used by the Interpol officer Rayman to capture us. He must have entered Empyrea!!!!!
Ext-Egypt, Earth- Day
Oh my gosh, the heat!! It’s killing me. There is a lot of time difference between planet Earth and planet Vathura. When I started there it was dusk, but now its noon here and the sun is really getting to me now, blabbered Royston moving through the hottest desert of Egypt.
Within seconds Royston heard the sound of a chopper and he thought to get its attention to get picked up. Thinking of using his shirt as a flag to signal his presence he started unbuttoning his shirt. By the time he got to the last button he heard some more vehicles and those were of a couple of tankers, jets, and choppers.
Choppers!! Tankers!!! Jets!!! Is this a war zone? Thought Royston to himself and soon spotted an aircraft aiming at him. Oh!! No!! This is insane.
Run Royston, Run!! Yelling that out loud Royston ran to save himself. The pilot in the aircraft launched the missile, he couldn’t help himself but turned to check and the missile missed him hitting the ground nearby. Royston jumped, hit a slope and was saved, the missile itself was a nuclear bomb explosion.
Meanwhile, the SWAT team threw down some ropes from the choppers.
I should have stayed in Empyrea, whined Royston.
(Attention, all aircrafts. This will be a dangerous close fire mission, announced the superior officer in the intercom)
The pilot locked his next target and was ready to fire. He hit the button and before the missile hit its target, the chopper exploded. Royston saw what happened to the chopper and he couldn’t believe his own eyes.
We have never seen anything like these before!! We are going down!!! I repeat we are going down!! We need more air support. We need it now, screamed a pilot from another aircraft.
Hearing the pilot’s words more than 100 aircrafts, 40 choppers, and 60 tankers started from the base.
What’s that!! What’s that thing!! What overturned the tanker, shouted an officer from inside.
We need more gunships on stations as soon as possible, repeated every pilot in the intercom.
In the middle of this war zone, Royston stood frozen with his mouth wide open taking everything in.
Oh!! NO!! NO!! Look at them. NO, they are huge in number. We need to get back, turn, turn, said a pilot filled with panic.
They aren’t dead!!! I repeat they aren’t dead!! We seem to be facing defeat against the unknown, screamed another pilot.
Meanwhile, the aircrafts, choppers, and the tankers from the camp reached the place. The aircrafts launched the missiles one after another, the tanks fired continuously and the gun men were unstoppable. The jets flew all around the desert targeting the attackers.
Ext-Royal palace, Empyrea- Night
An Empyrean rushed to see Lord Horus, and luckily met him along with Lord Deva.
Lord, Lord, I have a….. I have a….. he seem to be having trouble getting his words out, a wheezing problem limiting the empyrean.
Relax!! Relax!! Take your seat, why are you so tensed?, asked Lord Horus.
Lord, I am the person who carried out the death formalities for the old lord Pitheceus. At that time of the preservation process, I found his left heart missing. Doubtful, I examined the body of the other lords and their left hearts were also missing. This sounded like a threat to me, and that’s why I rushed to the palace, said the empyrean.
Oh shucks, the old lords must have sacrificed one of their hearts to the dark lord during the eclipse night. This must have enabled them to become one among the dark lords with the gift of immortality, said Lord Deva.
Ext-Egypt, earth-evening
All of a sudden, the earth’s surface started to shake, the aircrafts, tankers, and the jets stopped fire trying to figure out what it was. The earthquake was nothing but those of the attackers surging forward.
We are in deep trouble!!! I repeat we are in deep trouble!!! I can see a vast sea of dark smoke which is nothing but the enemy approaching us, said a pilot through his intercom. Soon his jet was swallowed by the dark cloud, the 40 feet snake Titanoboa. On the ground, the tankers were flung around furiously by apes, 18 feet in height. They literally crushed the tankers under their feet. The SWAT team member’s heads were rolling on the floor, attacked by the smoking veloxes.
A chopper got swallowed by a gigantic tyrannosaurus after a thrilling chase, the chopper just could not outrun the beast.
The adversaries were more than 100,000 in number. There were 10,000 dark smoking tailed Dinomen, over 6000 Nagas, 5000 veloxes, 4000 snakes and over 70
00 apes. All of their bodies had been bathed in a dark smoking substance. All of these surged forward to attack the choppers, tankers, and jets. It was an evil formation and looked like a diabolic beast skull. They were led by three evil and the most cruel dark lords.
The technologically savvy human army once again faced defeat.
A gunman fired from the door of a helicopter. There was a crash and the head of a dark smoking Quetzalcoatlus lunged in the open flinging at the gunman bringing him down and the other Quetzalcoatlus tore at the pilot’s windshield.
While all of this was taking place in the background, the three lords were ready to face Royston.
Are you surprised seeing us Royston? First of all, do you recognize us, asked the chief Dark Lord.
Yes, of course I recognize you very well Tyrant Seth, you betrayer. Get out of my world. I warn you, take both your kids and leave my planet immediately, ordered Royston.
Hahaha!!! Don’t make a fool out of yourself. Now we are the Dark lords, and no one can defeat us!! We are immortal, said Lord Pitheceus.
Hey brother, there’s no need to fear him. He will piss in his pants anyway, won’t you Royston, joked lord Kraity. This is our new venture. We prayed to the dark lord on eclipse day sacrificing our valuable organ, and now you can’t kill us. We became immortal, said Dark lord Kraity.
Oh by the way!! Royston, what do you have in your pant pocket, is it that sea cucumber and are you taking it for your daughter Cleopatra. No, wait, she has a different name in this era, right, what’s that..? Ok, forget that. My dear brother, you may experience rebirth as many a times to save the universe and to save that kid Cleopatra, but I will be the same, I will remain your foe forever. This time I am stronger than you, renewed with the power of immortal life.
Now let’s face each other, fight me, come on, fight me Osiris, let’s see what you’ve got, called out Dark lord Tyrant Seth.
