Chapter 30 - Heroes never die -

The group was standing in the cage where Carrierbombs ran around. Well, where they usually ran around. Souleater lied on the ground. The Unknown Girl was bent over him. Souleater breathed deeply. "W-what happened?" asked Neocro. The girl talked, without looking to the group. She was busy with trying to heal the wounds of Souleater. "The Meteonyker managed to grab him with his claws. It was my fault." "It was not." interrupted Souleater. The Unknown girl ignored Souleater. "I was standing too close to the Red Meteonkyer. The Meteonyker noticed that and tried to attack me. Souleater was able to push me away though. So he grabbed him instead and trew him away." "But... someone has to kill the Meteonyker!" said Sven. "It'll destroy Darken, it's still there, right?" "It is." said the Unknown Girl. "Aren't there any heroes around?" asked Smoer. Souleater groaned. "No, only you." "Huh, who?" asked Lari who looked around. "You, brave Larimar, you and your friends." "Wait, what?" asked David. "You ain't going to put them in that danger Souleater." Souleater looked to his old friend. "I know they're your friends David, but they didn't manage to help you with finding all the secrets about Hambas." David looked shocked to Souleater. "They're no Heroes, Souleater. I'm not either." Souleater tried to get up but the Unknown Girl pushed him back. "Why aren't they Heroes?" David didn't reply. "Souleater, we managed to do alot." Said Lari. "Like Mas Mines, Ivilis, Dekane Mines. We survived the storms of Azria and we traveled trough Madrigal with a group behind us who wanted to kill us just to save one of us. It doesn't mean that we're already accepted by the Gods to be a True Hero." Souleater tried to smile. "I thought you were smarter... David, don't you remember the day my father died?" "I do..." murmered David. "Don't you remember how I lifted the sword of my father? I was neither a Hero, neither close to it. The Gods never accepted me as a True Hero." David looked curiously to Souleater. "Why could you lift that sword then?" "Cause you accepted me as a True Hero, David." Everyone shocked. "so, if David accepts us as True Heroes, we'll be True Heroes?" asked Lari exited. "Yes." said Souleater. He closed his eyes. "I tought you'd find that out on your own David, but it seems like you needed the help of Laola." David looked to the ground. "It's time to lift your head for me, David. You got more in you as you ever accepted from yourself." "Even if I make them True Heroes, I won't be able to help them with this task." "You can, David." said Souleater. "What...? How? I can only get high damage with moments, I can't decide that. And without that high dammage I'm useless." Souleater didn't answer. "David." The Unknown Girl lifted her head. "You can choose when you do that damage. Like you chose to resque me... Back in Saint Morning..." "What... Are you the Assist I once saved as a kid?" asked David. The Unknown Girl nodded. She smiled. "How do I control this... power...?" asked David. "It's controlled by feelings. If you feel anger, sadness. If you feel the need to protect friends or protect others." Everyone looked surprised to Smoer, cause she spoke the words.

Sam started to buff everyone. David sat on the ground with his eyes closed. When Sam was done buffing everyone, David opened his eyes. He put his hand on Lari her head. Then he asked the Axe of Toro and reached it to Lari. "Take it." Lari grabbed the Axe. "Try to use a skill." said David. Lari walked away from the group and smashed the Axe on the ground. A big circle appeared. Lari looked surprised to the Axe. "I'm... A Hero..." David put his hand on all heads of his friends. Smoer, MrBored, Sven, Neocro, Sammz, Foloya, ... "Don't." said Toro when David walked to him. "Don't make me something I already am." Toro lifted his Axe in the air and walked to the entrance of the cage. Everyone looked surprised, except Neocro. She smiled. "Time to save the city." said Larimar. She left the cage and the others followed. At last David looked one more time to Souleater. "Are they really Heroes now?" Souleater smiled. "Not Heroes, but a True Hero in each of them their heart. That's what counts." For the first time in his life David understooth exactly what Souleater meant. He walked out of the cage and stopped with his friends who were staring to the Meteonyker. David looked to Neocro who grabbed the hand of Toro. Sam nodded smiling to Lari. Sven and MrBored hit eachother on their back. Foloya tried to shoot an arrow to Toro, but Smoer hold her. David walked to Smoer, grabbed her hand. "Guys." said Neocro. "We' faced already a lot things. We've been through a lot things. We all know that we're the strongest group in Madrigal. Not power, but friendship. I'm sure we'll be fine as long as we face the Meteonyker together." The others nodded. "And Heroes never die!" shouted Larimar out loud. The group smiled. Side by side they ran to the Red Meteonyker. All running with one same tought in their head. Heroes never die...
