Chapter 3
The Omen part 1

Snow peered through the door to see if the coast was clear. There were no signs of either Lars or the Soul Eaters.
"Okay, all clear."
After seeing that the coast was cleared, Hiro, Dani, and Snow continued on their mission to save Lily and the captain. Dani however, was curious about where Hiro was taking them.
"Where are we going?", she asked.
Before he could answer the question, a dark cloud appeared in front of them.
Dani: Not again!
Hiro: What is it?
Suddenly twenty Soul Eaters emerged from the cloud. The trio was ready to fight them all until a dark portal appeared among the Soul Eaters. Hiro, Snow, and Dani were surprised that Lars emerged from the portal.
"You again!?", Hiro yelled.
"You won't escape me that easily. Sooner or later the three of you will meet the same fate as the other two."
Dani and Snow were shocked and sadden about what Lars just said.  They believed that they were too late to save the captain.

"Don't believe him. He's lying." Hiro said suddenly.

Lars: Oh is that so? How would you know?

Hiro: I have a way of knowing.

Then he pointed his sword at Lars with a look of determination. “Just like I know that we’ll save our friends no matter what. I'll be happy to take you down to do so."

Lars was annoyed about the look on his face. He remembers someone else gave him the same look years ago. "You will die by those words, boy. Attack!"

He noticed that the Soul Eaters did not respond to his command.

Lars: I said attack!

Then they all turned their attention to him.

"W-What's happening!?" he yelled.

In a blink of an eye, all the Soul Eaters started to pounce on Lars. One by one the hill of creatures increased as the sound of Lars screaming began to muffle with the sounds of Soul Eaters growling. The trio was shocked and confused about what was going on.

Hiro: What are they doing?

"Don't know. We never encountered anything like this before." Dani says.
The hill of Soul Eaters began to sink into a pool of darkness like the one Hiro saw earlier. Moments later a giant claw emerged from the pool followed by a colossus demonic dog emerged afterwards.
Snow: What the hell?
Hiro: Lars is that you?
"This power. The true Darkness! I'm no longer Lars, I am...Titan!!"

Suddenly Titan grew three tentacles on his back and each one grabbed Hiro, then Dani, and then Snow. They all tried to struggle free, but no success.


Titan: Once I finish you off, next the people of Redtail shall face my wrath!

Hiro remembered that all the people back in Redtail had suffered enough and the possibility of not talking to his uncle after their heated argument. Suddenly he felt an enormous energy along with his rage within his body.

Hiro: I won't....I won't let you!

Suddenly Hiro's body began to emit a fiery aura. Titan was confused about him, "Wh-what's going on?"

Suddenly Hiro's eyes turned from blue to amber and his mark started to glow. He finally found the strength to set himself free from the demon's grasp. Then wings started to grow on his back. He flew around the demon and used his sword to destroy the tentacles holding Campion and Sydney. He points his sword at Titan. His sword is surrounded in a black and blue aura. Then he shouted, "Fire Blast!"
A beam of dark purple fire shot out of the sword and the blast critically injured the giant. Titan couldn't believe what was happening.

Titan: NO...Who...are...you!?

"Death awaits you.", Hiro said with a deep and booming voice.

Titan: It can't be.....You…..You're a…… Crusader?

He unleashed an aura attack destroying the Soul Eaters and Titan with one blow. After that, Lars returned to his original form. Then Hiro landed on the ground and his aura and wings disappeared and fell on his knees feeling exhausted again. Dani and Snow ran to see if he was okay.

Dani checks on him and says. "Hey, are you okay, Hiro?”

"What... just happened?", he asked.

Snow: You mean you don't remember?

Hiro: Remember what?

"You did that." , Snow says as he pointed at Lars kneeling in pain.

"I-I did that?", he asked as he stood up with Dani's help.

Lars couldn't believe it; three kids were able to defeat him in a short amount of time. When stood up his legs were wobbling from his fight.

"I can't believe it! I won't believe!"

Hiro: Give up Lars, you can't beat us!

Lars: Silence! You don't know who you're talking to! I am Lars Duquesne! Leader of the Elite! I will not be beaten likes of y-

Before he could finish his sentence, he felt a sharp pain through his back. He looked down and saw a bloody point of a sword coming out of his chest. He slowly looked behind and sees a boy in a black mask. Hiro, Snow, and Dani were shocked to see what was happening.
"W-What…. Y-You…" Lars barely said.

"You time is at an end." the masked boy says as he quickly pulled his sword out of Lars's back.

Lars collapsed instantly afterwards. He breathed his last breath as his blood was pouring out of his wound. The trio couldn't believe what they just saw.

Snow: What the hell just happened?

Dani: Who are you?

Masked boy: Call me Shadow.

He looked down at Lars's bloody corpse.

Shadow: How ironic. This man thought he could control the Soul Eaters, but in actuality they were controlling him.

Dani: What do you mean?

Shadow: The Soul Eaters were using him from the start. He was nothing more than their puppet. He failed to realize that they were feeding off his dark soul. An appropriate end to a foolish man.

Suddenly Lars's body started to fade away into darkness, similar to how the Soul Eaters faded away. Then Shadow points only at Hiro.

"The day of Apocalypse will come soon" he says in an cryptic voice.

Hiro, Dani, and Snow felt a chill down their spines when he said that.

Hiro: What? What are you talking about?


"You'll know soon enough." He says as he summoned a black portal and disappeared, leaving them stunned. Then Snow snapped them out of it and says, "Come on we got friends to save, remember?"

Dani: Oh yeah, you said you know a way in, right?

"Y-Yeah, follow me.", Hiro says as he ran ahead while the others followed.

Meanwhile within the Castle of Eden, the guards threw Lily into the throne room with her hands cuffed. She looked up and sees a humanoid lion known as a Leo, with a cold expression. His name is Nero, tyrant king of Eden. He is the younger brother of the deceased king, Caesar. Lily was nervous to be in the same room with him after all the things he had done and all the things Hiro and everybody in Redtail said about him. He approached her with a grin on his face, a grin she found very, very creepy.

Nero: So you're the young lady I've heard about.

Lily: W-what do you want from me? I don't have anything valuable.

"Don't play dumb with me. You have a hidden power within you. According to one of my spies, you used some magic on this crystal.", he says as he showed her the pendant.
Lily: Look, like I told the guards before, I don't know how that happened!

Nero didn't believe her, even though she was telling the truth.

Nero: You're lying. But in case I need to jog your memory, I just sent Lars to bring that boy who attacked him earlier here. You know what will happen to those who are against me. Right my dear?

She was shocked to realize that Hiro’s life might in danger if she doesn't do something.

Lily: Wait! Don't bring him. But I’m telling you the truth I don’t how that happened. I swear!

Nero looked as if he lost his patience with her. Then he for some reason he was smiling.

“All right then. You don’t know how to use that Crystal and you’re worried about your friend. I have just one other option. Agree to marry me. It would be shameful to lose a lovely creature such as yourself.” He says as he strokes her hair.
Lily was appalled and shocked when he made that request.

Nero: You’ll have one hour to think it over in the dungeon.

The guards escort Lily out of the throne room to the dungeon. She may not have a choice, if it means to save Hiro from Nero.

Meanwhile outside the castle, Hiro led Dani and Snow at the back of the castle with ease since the guards were scrambling around the city.

Snow: I don't get it. With the head guy gone, why don't we just go through the front door-

Dani: Because there are more guards inside. It will takes forever to find Lily and the captain if we fight them.

“Fine I get it.”, he says in frustration.
While they were talking, Hiro was observing the wall. Dani looked at him and was confused about he's doing.

"What are you looking for?, she asked.

"I'm trying figure out where to find the button to open the door.", he says as he started to feel around the area on the wall, because the button is the same color and texture as the bricks. Suddenly he felt something that was out of place. He knew it was the button. He pressed the button and part of the wall slowly rose up revealing a tunnel.

“It'll take a while but we can easily avoid the guards here.”

Dani: All right. Let's go!

Hiro:  (Lily, hang in there. I –no we’re coming.)
