A voice screams across the sky, "I will be imprisoned no more, Lord of Malice."
The sun dims as the moon moves to fully eclipse the sun.
An almost oppressive sense of Order seems to grip the realm.
The corona around the eclipsed sun suddenly flares, nearly blinding you.
Far to the east, a streak of light soars towards the heavens!
The moon seems to be pushed from the sun for a moment creating the illusion of a rotting skull, cast amongst the heavens.
The lands tremble as a huge figure crashes into Thera, cast down from Asgaard.
The moon moves further from the sun, the eclipse is nearly over. The image of the rotting skull forms again.
A voice echoes from the heavens, "I should have finished you long before Kingbreaker. The world is not how you left it. You have been gone too long. Your power is weakened."
A voice screams from Thera, "I admire your use of strength to supplant me, Dark Knight. However, you stand unprepared, I have plotted this day for centuries. Zulghinlour, take him!"
uddenly a flaming crown is formed, encircling the eclipse, and replacing the image of the rotting skull.
The Ebony Warlock's axe swings through the air, filling the heavens with the scream of the unprepared Dark Knight.
Vilhazarog turns, snarling towards the Ebony Warlock.
"You will die slowly and painfully for this Zulghinlour, I will crush you as surely as I will the Lord of Rapacity."
A streak of light soars towards the heavens as the moon seems to begin its eclipse again.
Striking quickly, Agathocles unleashes a burst of brilliant flame towards the distracted Vilhazarog.
Turning at the last minute, the Dark Knight avoids the tongue of white-hot flame.
'So this is what it comes to? You will both die this day!', screams the Dark Knight as he unleashes a powerful flurry of lightning towards the other immortals.
Thunder crashes from the dark sky as the stars fade in and out of view. Sparks of fire and forks of lightening dance across the sky, marking the progress of the great battle.
Thera trembles, under the strain of the turmoil in Asgaard. The skies are lit by blue and green streaks of lightning.
Red and White flames are seen leaping from the ground and to the sky...as the Dark Knight fights off the furious attack of the King Breaker and the Ebony Warlock.
The image of the rotting skull flares suddenly seeming to burn the moon and the encircling crown. Two figures plummet from the heavens.
The voice of Vilhazarog echoes from the skies, "You fools! I will enjoy your slow agonizing deaths for centuries to come. First, I will devour any souls of those foolish enough to have ever born your mark."
A fierce wind suddenly sweeps over you as great silver wings beat overhead. A great silver bird races towards the heavens.
The Dark Knight sneers, then snarls in anger.
The voice of Vilhazarog echoes 'Stand down Skyborn, this is no matter of yours....and your time to perish is not yet at hand.'
Though soft, the voice of the Phoenix echoes 'My concern is wherever any of the dark still plague the land. Without your allies you will not win this fight.'
A silvery-white light explodes from the heavens as Shokai plunges his spear into the Dark Knight.
A thunderous scream explodes in your mind, crushing every other thought into nothing. A dark wave flares from the sun and dissipates.
A dark figure moves from the earth and behind the great Bird. As he moves to strike, Shokai sidesteps him, leaving him to crash into the smoldering corpse of the once immortal Vilhazarog.
Shokai's voice echoes , "The Dark Knight was correct, Agathocles. You have been weakened and you will die, you haven't the strength to stand against me."
The King Breaker voice echoes, "Zulghinlour if you let me perish, you will be next. Only together can we stand against the Skyborn."
Filled with malice and contempt Zulghinlour's voice echoes, "Very well Kingbreaker, but my assistance will cost you your place in the heavens."
" I will reign supreme over all of the Dark Forces and the Empire."
