The 1.000 year Great Sage ---> COMPLETED STORY

Seya took a quick bath and dressed up. He opened a Gateway directly to the Control Room. In there, Queen Titania was looking at the view from a window with Gaya's Magic Knight near her. She sensed the changing in the light and she turned, smiling.

- Hello, dear Seya. How are you this morning? I knew that you were a little occupied yesterday so I stayed here for a while and made sure that there weren't any problems. I also visited the Kingdoms, the Dragonoids and the Mermaids, to have a look around and see if everything was going smoothly. For what I could gather, the troops and the Mages of every Kingdom are ready and they are waiting for your orders to go through some big Gateways to the Demonoid Island, in ships with your Wind Crystal idea.

Seya was caught by surprise. It was way too soon!

- That fast? How is that even possible? I know I said we had to move fast, but…

- And they did all that, in record time! Shouldn't you go to the Meeting Room and talk to everyone to get ready for the battle? Remember you still need to make Gaya travel there. Yesterday, I have sent all non-essential personal to your lands. The students of your school started to arrive moments ago, I think that even the Phoenix birds are there, waiting for you.

Seya nodded and opened a Gateway directly to the Meeting Room and offered his right arm to Titania. She grabbed it, with a strong determination in her eyes. Seya shivered for a moment, the slight amount of Magic that she had, was freezing the air around her. Seya thought that was strange, considering that all Fairies only used Light Magic. Maybe Titania had so many Magic at her disposal, that she could do some strange things.

At the Meeting Room, his students and his friends were all seated near the Principal, waiting for him. There were also every King and Queen of all Races. His parents were seated next to his Denar'an parents, with Xenya and Null at the middle. Seya dispersed the Gateway and went to the centre, with Titania at one side and the Knight on the other. Titania smiled and went to sit next to her daughter, Talya. Seya threw a dark dot to his right, near Gaya's Knight, and when it dispersed a whiteboard was there, with a drawing of the Demonoid Island. Around it, drawings of the ships surrounding it and at the bottom, a list of tasks. Seya pointed to it and explained everything that he drew in there.

- Good morning. Considering that everything is prepared, I want to take just a few moments to talk again about my attack plan. Gaya, you too, pay attention, ok?

- …||… Yes, Father! …||…

The scattered voices that could be heard all around, stood silent, waiting for him.

- Please explain all this to your troops and give them a fair chance to go home, if they don't want to participate in all this. I will never think badly of anyone that has doubts, I have no right to do that. A lot of people may die on that Island, they need to know. That being said, we will use Gateways to send our troops to the shores of the Demonoid Island. Where there is no shore or only cliffs, we will need Gateways further into the land to deliver the troops and the Mages, because they will be the first to be deployed to form a protective ring for the arrival of the group that will be in charge of the Crystallization Process of the Island. With them, the Phoenix, as the last defence. Dragonoids and Fairies will join the front line, to help the soldiers. As for the Mermaids, I need the sea completely dry, for at least twenty meters all around the Island. Any Demonoid that tries to escape, kill it.

Seya stopped for a while and looked around, to see if everyone had any doubts. Since no one said anything, he continued.

- The Mermaids that are not needed in the making of the dried border or on the killing of the Demonoids, will join the Phoenix and protect the ones that are going to turn the Island into a Magic Crystal. The ones that have one of my Communicator Crystals, shall join the attacking group of one Kingdom, to help me on delivering the orders. So, Mother, to the Kingdom of Rohan. Father, to the Elfians. Null, to the Dwarfs. Aunt Cemil, the BeastKind. Uncle Sully, the RabbitKind. Xenya, to the LizardKind. Master Eridan will command the Dragonoids, Talya the Fairies and Queen Athena, the Mermaids. Queen Titania will be with me because if my hunch is right, I may need her protection. The students and anyone that can turn solid rock into Magic Crystal, surround the Island and start the transformation as soon as you can. If something weird happens, like a huge amount of Demonoids appearing to attack you or to stop the ones that are making the Crystal, kill them without delay. But the priority is making the Crystal because as soon as the Island is ready, we can retreat to make it float and like that, contain the Demonoids in there without any further Demonoid killings or danger to your lives. Any questions?

Complete silence. Then, the familiar 'Flash' and the 'Bum' sound. When the light diminished, around him, the three forms of the Goddess dressed in complete armour and armed with three swords, spoke at the same time, while the complete form of Aria was hovering at three meters high, with her blond, curly hair and white dress, floating.

- Where do you need me, dear Seya?

- What the… since when can you all appear at the same time?

They responded in choir while smiling.

- Since always. I explained to you how this work, right? What, you thought that when little Aria was near you, the others were sleeping? We are the same entity, but at the same time, we are not, remember? While one Aria was with you yesterday, the others were working, making sure that everything was ready for today. Where do you want each of us? Remember, we can't kill any Demonoid, but we can immobilize them and defend everyone. So, how can we help?

Seya looked around, there were a lot of happy faces looking at him. He nodded and assigned them to their place.

- Ok, little Aria, the girl and the woman, position yourselves at North, West and East. I will be at the South with Queen Titania and this Knight. The beautiful flying Goddess over there can stay in the sky, at a distance from where you can see the entire Island and try to help as much as you can. If I see or I heard that any of you killed a Demonoid, I will lock her up inside Gaya. For your own protection, of course. I don't want the Council of the Gods to punish you! You can cut the tentacles of any Demonoid that you see and like that, they will not be able to move around. But killing is forbidden. Let the killing to us. When everything is ready for the lifting of the Island, I will need that you move your barriers, when the Island begins to float. Understood?

The four Aria's stood straight and placed their left hand over their chest, saluting him.

- Yes, Half-Breed Great Sage! Knnya…knnya…knnya…

- You could at least not joke at times like these!

The hovering Aria went near him and rubbed his head. She spoke aloud, to everyone hear her.

- I can't avoid it, I'm so happy because of what you accomplished here. The entire world is united today, thanks to you and this crazy plan of yours.

- Well, I aim to please, you know that. So, let's get started, shall we? Unless anyone has a question…

Then, a voice was heard. When Seya looked in the direction of the voice, he saw the school Janitor with his hand raised.

- Can I help with something? I don't fight as well as the students and I can't use Magic, but I still want to help.

- Sure, I need you to explain the Phoenix what they need to do. Make sure that they understand you because I am counting on them.

- Of course, Milord, but I think they understood everything.

- Yes, Milord, you can count on me! And I will be counting on you, Gaya!

- …||… Yes, I am here if you need me! …||…

Seya opened a Gateway to the Control Room, to prepare Gaya.

- So, get out of here and we will meet at the Island. King Rohan, King Leonheart, King Denar'an, return to your Kingdom and pray for us. King Barunger and Elfian King, join the army. I will arrive there in a moment. Let's kill some ugly Demonoids, shall we?

He crossed to the Control Room with Titania, while everyone that was in the Meeting Room rushed to a Gateway that they opened to get to the fleet of ships.

In there, Seya went straight to the Helm. He touched one Crystal at the centre.

- 'Auto Patrol, off!'

He then looked to the window at his front and made a big Gateway, larger than Gaya. When it was complete, the Demonoid Island was on the other side. Seya grabbed the helm and shouted the next order.

- 'Speed 2!' Get ready, Gaya, as soon as we cross that, we are going to start.

- …||… 'Yes, Father! We are really going through that? So cool… I'm used to sensing people going through, but I never thought that I was able to use it as well! …||…

Seya grabbed tightly the helm and shouted.

- 'Reverse Speed 2!'… Ok… steady… a little more… now, 'Reverse Speed 1!'… and… 'Full Stop!'. I think we are at a safe distance so that when the Island starts to hover, it will be right at our front. Gaya, can you sense the armies on the ships down there?

- …||… Yes, Father! Even the Mermaids in the ocean! So many! …||…

- Ok, any Demonoids on land? Any Dark Magic in there?

- …||… Let me see… No… Nothing… Not a single one, Father. That's strange, right? …||…

- Yeah, really strange…

Seya grabbed his Communicator Crystal to contact the armies.

- Mother, Father, Null, aunt Cemil, uncle Sully, Master Eridan, Talya, and Queen Athena, we are going to start our attack! Get ready! Be careful, the Demonoids are hiding, Gaya can't sense them on the Island!

- 'We are ready… Me too… Everyone is ready… Give the order!'

- Ok, everyone, count till five and deploy the troops!

Seya rushed to the front window and he used his special Binocular to look at the ships surrounding the Demonoid Island. A complete circle made of hundreds upon hundreds of ships, all full of soldiers and Mages, all at his disposal for the task ahead. He saw Gateways being formed on each deck and when the armies went through them, they immediately appeared from another Gateway, on the Island. He was impressed by the number of troops, it seemed that all the men and women that worked in an army, were there, mixed with some civilians armed with axes, swords or bows. Maybe they were Adventurers or volunteers that joined the attacking forces when they heard the news about a joint operation with all the armies of the world.

Seya opened a Gateway to the shore that he could see down there, right in front of Gaya. He runs through it, followed by Titania in full battle mode and Gaya's Knight, with a huge sword. While the Gateway was dispersing, he went to the nearest mountain wall and he began changing it to Crystal. But as soon as his hand touched the rock, the janitor's voice was heard, through Seya's Communicator Crystal.

- …||… Everyone, Gaya is sensing Demonoids coming from deep underground, they are of small size, but there are hundreds of them! And… more are coming! Bigger ones! And… Gaya says that now there are ones of the size of a Dragonoid! …||…

Seya started to change the rock into a Crystal while giving orders.

- Titania, don't let any of those things get near me! Gaya Knight, help her! I need to concentrate on this!

Titania made her Light Swords while shouting orders around to the soldiers and Mages nearby.

- You heard him! Anyone that can make Magic Crystal, help him! The others form a wall in front of Seya, don't let any of them pass! Gaya, stay near him, you will be his last line of defence! I'm trusting Seya to you, don't let me down!

- …||… Yes, Teacher Titania! I will protect Father! …||…

Through the Communicator Crystal, the voice of the janitor was shouting orders, but Seya did his best to not pay any attention to him, he had work to do.

- …||… Dwarf Soldiers and Mages form a wall in front of Milady Ryn, a huge horde is coming! Elfians, a wall in front of Princess Arys, four big Demonoids are approaching, together with hundreds of small ones! Soldiers and Mages of Rohan, there's a bunch of medium-sized ones, protect Princess Heiji! …This is strange, they seem to aim only the most powerful people of the Crystallization Team! Like if… they have a plan?... My Goddess! Fairies, gather near Milord Seya, there's a huge horde coming from underground, the biggest one until now! …||…

That last shout took Seya from his work. He look back and a deep hole appeared behind him. Only Gaya's Knight was between him and some small Demonoids that were coming from it. Titania was at his front, fighting all alone against three big Demonoids while the soldiers and Mages that were supposed to protect him, were fighting and dying, against hundreds and hundreds of Demonoids. A group of Fairies, LizardKind and Mermaids arrived to help them, but almost half of them were overwhelmed and killed by the endless wave of Demonoids that were coming from holes on the ground.

While Gaya's Knight was slashing the head of a small Demonoid, another was trying to rip the head of the Knight.

Seya acted instinctively, he sent a wall of Dark Magic to throw the Demonoids attacking the Knight into his Compressed Dimension, but when the wall was reaching the first Demonoid, his Magic changed its form. It turned into Dark Tentacles, that went back, in the direction of the soldiers, to kill the nearest ones. When the tip changed to solid Dark Spears, Seya wrapped the tentacles into Light Magic, forming a shield around each tentacle to control them. He tried to dissipate the Dark Magic, but it wasn't obeying. Instead, the Dark Tentacles were still trying to get free and hit the soldiers. Suddenly, a small Demonoid reached near Seya and threw a tentacle towards his neck. The tentacle grabbed Seya's string, the one that had the Ancient Magic to simulate the Dragonoid skin and was protecting him since he was ten years old when he made it from the hair of the Elder Igneel. Seya knew that without the string, his protection would disappear, but he was still struggling to control his Dark Tentacles. The only thing that he could do was using his hands and sword to release himself from the Demonoid's tentacle. Then, he heard the janitor's voice.

- …||… Attention everyone, Gaya told me that everyone that tries to use Dark Magic, is losing the control of its Magic and there are a lot of soldiers and Mages dying because they are getting killed by it! ..||…

Seya managed to grab his Communicator Crystal and shouts an order.

- Gaya, tell the RabbitKind and anyone that's using Dark Magic to stop! The Dark Magic can be contained by Light Magic!

While Seya was cutting the Demonoid's Tentacle, only to have another one reaching for the string, Gaya's voice was heard.

- …||… Dark Magic users, don't use that Attribute! People are dying because of your Magic! Fairies, contain the Dark Magic that gets out of control! Teacher Titania, Father is in danger! Save him! …||…

Titania shouted from afar while she was fighting five big Demonoids that joined the three that were trying to kill her.

- I can't get near him, these things are blocking my way and they keep on attacking! I don't have time to gather my Magic! I need someone to protect Seya!

Seya started to wrap more of his dark Tentacles that were forming, in Light Magic. He was fighting against his own Magic and he was losing. Then, the impossible happened. From the hole through where the small Demonoids appeared, a medium-size Demonoid stuck out. A grey one. He slowly approached Gaya's Knight and Seya could hear his strange voice inside his head.

- …||… Great Sage. Eat. Learn. Evolve. Demonoids only Race. …||…

One tentacle pierced Gaya's Knight, and three more tear it apart while the Knight was fighting against five small Demonoids. He then continued its slow approach towards Seya, that was still fighting two small Demonoids while containing his Dark Tentacles in the Light Shield, to prevent the killing of the soldiers nearby. Suddenly, the Demonoid that was grabbing Seya's string, pulled it from his head and threw it to the ground. As soon as the string left Seya, he lost his protection and the grey Demonoid threw three tentacles directly to Seya's chest. When Seya was about to get hit, a voice shouted and a light appeared between his death, protecting him with her own body.

- No! No one harms my beloved! Arghhhhh!....
