The rain poured over the village as all in the village and all those who knew Dusk appeared as the brave warrior who was felled. Tears were shed, words were said, but all this mattered not, for one thing was going on in a girls head, and that one thing that she had to know, why has this happened and who was the one responsible.
DUSK AND DAWN 
Wrath of the Gods: Chapter 2
Reasons why 
*The newly rebuilt Citadel a few days later*
Herro: *Holding the Soul-Splitting Blade* Damn it, why of all people! *throws the sword at the door* 
Dravir: *Catches the sword* Hope that wasn’t meant for me.
Herro: Sorry *sits down* You were at his funeral right?
Dravir: Yeah, I didn’t see you there.
Herro: It’s not easy, after Auran died, you all made me the new Chief, and I’ve worked my ass off. I mean, I’ve turned the Organization, from a group bent on global control to a basic heroic mercenary squad.
Dravir: And you’ve done a pretty good job at filling the shoes of your predecessors.
Herro: *sighs* Do you have something for me?
Dravir: Yeah, Dusk was able to give your daughter this letter. *Give Herro a letter*
Herro: *Takes out a letter opener and cuts the letter open* Ok so what is it that he sent me. *Starts to read*
*A few minutes later*
Dravir: What is it?
Herro: *Eyes wide and hands shaking* Dravir, gather the other generals.
Dravir: What for?
Herro: *Stands up* Just go do it; we don’t have time to discuss it.
Dravir: *Runs out the door*
Herro: *falls back on his chair* Crap, we really are screwed.
Malice: *Appears in the shadows* So I guess Dusk really did die, didn’t he?
Herro: What is it that you want Messenger of Death?
Malice: Oh nothing, by the way your white hair looks pretty good by the way.
Herro: Really, I think it kinda clashes with the rest of my fur- wait a minute, don’t get me off on a tangent.
Malice: Ok, ok, I just wanted to mention on how this world is going to change.
Herro: Trust me I know all too well…
*Door opens* 
Eon: What the hell did you want to call us for?
Herro: Take your seats.
Dalc: *turns his seat around and sits* So, what the hell happened, I mean I’s only been a few days since Dusk’s funeral.
Trios: (Normal Forme) *sitting* So what did you need us for?
Herro: Dusk’s letter, it had some extremely important intel. 
*A holographic map of the world*
Herro: Dravir I’m sure you know what these glowing points on the map, right?
Dravir: They’re the Elemental Pillars, just like Pillar of Air that lets Sky valley float in the air.
Herro: This image was taken around the time that Dusk infiltrated the sacred temple of the Elemental Gods. The next one that I’m showing was taken a few hours ago.
*A second holographic map appears next to the other one*
Herro: Notice anything different?
Dravir: It’s not possible!
Dalc: What is it that you see?
Dravir: The Elemental Pillar of Fire is gone!
Dalc: In Mount Valnai, how is that possible!
Herro: In the message that Dusk sent me, he said that the Elemental Gods were in the process of starting a war in the world of mortals.
Eon: That’s madness!
Malice: I do believe I know what they’re planning on doing.
Herro: If you know, then talk!
Malice: Ok then, *Thinking* I see such rage in his eyes *out loud* You see if all the pillars were to be destroyed, this world would be reset, ending all the unbalances and in theory creating a perfect new world.
Herro: And of course, that requires all of us except the gods to die.
Dravir: We have to stop them! Destroying all the Pillars would make this world hell itself.
Oblivion: Of course it would, why else would Takeru, try to stop them, albeit in a rather negative way.
Herro: How the hell did you get here?
Oblivion: What, you left the window open. *points to the open window*
Herro: So you took it upon yourself to climb 36 stories to get into my office.
Oblivion: And…
Herro: You’re what 60, 65 years old?
Oblivion: Age doesn’t exactly figure in for someone who’s supposed to be dead.
Herro: Now then, we need to start preparing for the worst.
Dravir: They wouldn’t dare attack the Air Pillar at this point, especially since my family turned the pillar into a weapon.
Oblivion: Yeah I kind of remember the blast from it.
Dravir: Well then, the gods must know how powerful it is then.
Herro: Alright then, Dravir, I’m leaving the Air Pillar in your care. Eon, do you know where the pillar of Light is?
Eon: Unfortunately I don’t, as I’m sure not even Miss Londe does either.
Herro: Then there might be one person who we can trust who knows where it is.
Dalc: And since the Fire Pillar has been destroyed, my fire attacks won’t be as powerful.
Dravir: Don’t worry hun, you still have your flying attacks.
Herro: Good, your sister she’s still in the city right?
Dalc: Yeah, she is.
Herro: Then make sure that she’s safe; currently I can only think that both this place and the plains are the only safe place in right now. Shana, go to the Plains and get my daughter and tell her to go find Dawn.
Shana: On it. *opens a portal* Any more info, boss.
Herro: *smiling* Yeah tell Kyte to get the Requiem ready.
*Back in the Plains*
Nick: Hey Marin!
Marin: What is Nick, did Danny and Rio get into a fight again.
Nick: Well yeah, but Takeru wants us to meet him at the southern pier.
Marin: Why does he want us to go to the beach for?
Nick: Don’t know.
*at the southern pier*
Takeru: It’s really nice to see you again, my Goddess.
Shana: *Blushing* Oh you’re making me blush.
Kyte: *on a boat* Come on Takeru, stop with the flirting, you’re a married man after all.
Takeru: You just can’t let me have any fun, can you?
Aerin: No, that’s my job.
Takeru: *ears and tail shoot up* Aerin, honey, I see your back in town.
Aerin: Don’t Aerin honey me. Just remember, your ass belongs to me.
Takeru: *scared* Got it!
Marin: You know there are some things that I really don’t need to know.
Takeru: Ah, good you’re here and so are our other guests.
Rio: Hey what’s going on?
Aeon:  Papa, what’s with the boat?
Kyte: What, this is a ship, not a boat. Other than that, it’s my father’s ship, The Requiem!
Marin: Whatever, so what is it that you guys wanted us for anyways.
Takeru: Well it’s the fact the Organization has called an official state of emergency.
Nick: What happened?
Aerin: Not sure, but from what I’ve heard from Rika, fire attacks are no longer as powerful as they used to be.
Danny: So that’s why I beat Rio so easily.
Rio: *Black eye*Just shut up!
Takeru: *Serious* Quiet, both of you!
Danny: Dad.
Rio: Huh?
Takeru: I want all of you to help Kyte go and find Dawn. As you guys know she left rather quickly after the funeral. Right now our orders are to find her immediately.
Kyte: So I hope that you guys are ready because I already got your stuff packed and on the boat.
Takeru: *Eyes turn blue* Yuki… everyone, get back!
*something crashes into the ground*
Yuki: Well, if it ain’t Takeru. Off to find the Ancient of Light, are you?
Takeru: Finally you come straight to me Yuki, Goddess of Ice! If this is your wish to die here, then so be it! *Darkness surrounds him and becomes a black torn cloak* Just because my Servant is dead, it doesn’t mean that I can’t use his weapons. Black Claymore, come to me!  … W-what the hell is going on!
Yuki: ho ho ho! What’s this, perhaps that blade no longer believes it to be its master
Takeru: Like I need a sword like that. Shadow Pistols Return! *two shadows pull out of his hands and create two black pistols appear in his hands* Do you like it? These two pistols are the new weapons that I created in the past ten years. The shadow pistols are, though a weaker version of the Dark guns that I created one-hundred years ago. Either way these two should do more than enough to kill you.
Yuki: I always wondered if you created anymore weapons.
Takeru: Just shut up, you cold-hearted bitch! *Starts firing at her * Out of all the elementals, I hated you the most. The rest of you get out of here!
Kyte: What about you?
Takeru: Don’t worry, I powered up the Dark Pillar, these pistols of mine are even more powerful than the originals. 
Yuki: Oh I wouldn’t be so sure of that, Mao is taking his army straight to the pillar, right now.
Takeru: *Dark Aura expands into a Black Cloak* I’m going to kill you so hard, that you won’t even reset yourself. Kyte you got the kids on board?
Kyte: Yeah, what are you planning, Takeru?
Takeru: Don’t worry, I don’t die that easily. Now go! PSYCHIC! *Eyes glow blue*
*The Requiem rises out of the water and flies out into the ocean*
Takeru: Now that those children are out of the way, what is it that you wanted to come here, Yuki?
Yuki: Nothing more than to slice you up with my whip.
Takeru: Heh, heh, heh, that it. Is that it, fine then, I’ll show you the true terror of Darkness. *Snaps his fingers* Code Tsuki!
Yuki: Wait, what do you think you’re doing!
Takeru: Oh nothing just activating all my former selves inside of the Pillar.
Yuki: WHAT!
*Two shadows rise from the ground and form Tsuki and Yōkai*
Tsuki: It seems that you never learn, Ice Goddess.
Yōkai: I would agree to that.
Yuki: Three on one I would think that’s barely fair, for you that is. *Snaps her whip* I’m going to enjoy wringing your neck with this whip of mine.
*back on The Requiem*
Danny: Do you think he’ll be alright?
Kyte: Don’t worry kiddo; your father’s a God, and a damn strong one at that.
Marin: So which way we heading!
Kyte: Last I heard, Dawn was heading towards the Kahlma Region.
NOTE: The Kahlma region is mostly desert and mountains to the southeast of Sky Valley*
Danny: Isn’t that towards Arcadia?
Kyte: Yeah, I thought I would never return to that city, the city of one of my greatest sins…
*In Arcadia*
Hiro: Come on people, we need to move those blocks, if we don’t get into those ruins, we don’t get paid!
Dawn: I appreciate this Hiro.
Hiro: Yes well, I’ll appreciate the money and the ruins information even more.
Dawn: Just be careful, if I’m right there’s going to be a lot of traps in there.
Hiro: Dawn, you really didn’t give me much information to go on. What is it that’s in there?
Dawn: If I’m right, the entrance to of the Pillar of Light is here.
