Now everyone was together except for Zaiyal who was closing in with
Whiskers in his pocket but had noticed the two massive power levels of Tatu and
Narcis and was deeply concerned he began to think. "Strange there are two
massive power levels. These are most definitely not Gods for Gods do not normally
have power levels. One of them has disappeared while the other is right in the Bee
Kingdom. I need to find out who this is." Thought Zaiyal. To his horror he discovered it was the wood Elf Narcis who had the incredible power level, Zaiyal
was in a state of shock. "The wood elf! It can't be!" said Zaiyal. After he said this
Narcis than Saria and than Ungar and than Sarai noticed Zaiyal landing above
them. "Look its Zaiyal!" said Sarai. "Zaiyal?!" said Ungar. After this Zaiyal
landed and shouted; "Wood-Elf tell me what's happened here?!" said Zaiyal.
"Fine but Jr. is coming I felt his presence some time ago he will be arriving here shortly."
Said Narcis. "Wow Jr. is coming." Said Daniel. "Well in the meantime tell me this
Elf. Who are you? There's no way the real Narcis would have such an incredible
power level!" said Zaiyal. After a clear silence, Zaiyal shouted; "Answer me now!"
said Zaiyal. "Isn't it clear." Said the Slug Man. "Isn't what clear?!" said Zaiyal.
"Narcis has reached the status of a Bodhisattva and therefore his power level or
Chi has increased ten-fold." Said the Slug Man. "Narcis is a Bodhisattva?!" said
Zaiyal. Zaiyal began to think to himself once again. "Incredible a simple wood elf
achieved the status of Bodhisattva and is more powerful than I am even at the apex
of my strength. How can he even be this powerful?! He's nothing more than a mere
wood elf?! Its that Elf Daniel he's responsible for all of this I use to be on the top
and now everyone is overtaking me. Curse you Elf, you've turned my world into a
circus." Thought Zaiyal. Shortly afterwards Jr. arrived; "Sorry I'm late guys; my
dad made me clean my room and the Shrine before I came so what I miss?" Said
Sun-Wukong Jr. the Monkey Prince as he arrived on his flying Cloud cloud.
"Alright I'll explain everything." Said Narcis.
As Narcis began to explain everything to the rest of the group being Ungar, Daniel, Zaiyal, Sarai, the Slug
Man, Whisp and now Sun-Wukong Jr. Far away someone else would soon be
experiencing something else earth-shattering. The Wasp Warrior Prince Tatu closed in on his kingdom but he arrived there
was nothing, it was gone but in the distance he could see a spec which was clearly
one of Zeal's airships. It was clear what had happened Zeal had used his magic to
destroy the Wasp Kingdom and with it the entire Wasp race. The only two
remaining Wasps left in the world now were Tatu himself and his younger brother
Whisp. Whisp had already sensed the death of his people but he viewed it as an
almost karmic justice for they had done the same thing to countless nations and
peoples for centuries and now it was their turn. Everyone, the king, their father, the
queen, their mother and everyone else was dead; it was clear that Zeal feared the
Wasps and wanted to make sure they were dealt with once and for all. Wasps had
the ability to sense the life force of other beings so Tatu like Whisp knew what had
happened but he had to see it for himself. Whisp had told the group about the event
after Narcis had explained everything else back with the heroes. Whisp recounted
the example of the Mantis People over 300 years ago whom the Wasp People
formed a military alliance with and ended up doing the same thing to them that
Zeal had done to the Wasps 300 years later wiping out all of the Mantis People.
Tatu was full of rage. He didn't like it but he knew he had to bury the hatchet at
least for a time and team up with his brother. He was crushed by the death of his
people but he still wanted to be the Emperor of the Universe. If he helped the
heroes get rid of Zeal and his forces he could take the Black Jewel afterwards and
conquer the Universe himself. But first he needed to find them. He took off back in
the direction of the heroes towards the Bee Kingdom.
After all of this Zagros was chosen to hunt down the heroes next and the
heroes next traveled to the edge of the Bug Kingdom to the Sand Pit of the Great
Ant Lion King. Eventually however they would run into Tatu and they would be
forced to work together to defeat Zeal which hurt Whisp more than it hurt anyone
else. Daniel during all of this was surprised that Narcis of all people was the first in
their group to become a Bodhisattva he always assumed he would not be the first
but assumed it would be Sarai or Jr. It made him wonder if Narcis had really
changed that much? He must have to reach such a high status. The Slug Man
stressed that he needed to stay and help his people rebuild the Taoist Temple and
the Bee Capital. He soon left as did Ungar who stated he would return when he felt
the Bee Capitol had been fixed but before they had a chance to head back to the Bee Kingdom about a mile and a half away. Tatu arrived and descended to meet the
heroes.
"I presume you know why I'm here, Whisp?" said Tatu. "Yes, the Wasp
People have been completely wiped out by Lord Zeal. Maybe you should have
heeded Narcis's warning and understood that Zeal was using the Wasps and not
the other way around." Said Whisp. "I'll be honest I don't want to side with your
ilk but I have no choice. I have to avenge my people. The people who were
supposed to conquer the Universe." Said Tatu. "It was such an abstract concept
when the Wasp people butchered countless other races and wiped them off the face
of the Earth but now that it's the Wasps who have met their end you feel the need to
avenge them is that right?!" said Whisp. "Like you would understand my people
you're nothing more than a half-breed. We share the same father but my father was
the Wasp Queen and your mother was a Bee. The fact that we share a father
sickens me to no end. And I'll be honest, as soon as we defeat Zeal and his goons
I'll be coming for all of you." Said Tatu. "Well it meets nothing now because the
Wasps are dead and the Bees live." Said Whisp. "That can be changed." Said Tatu.
"Don't you dare, you bastard!" said Whisp. And just as Whisp was about to
attack, Tatu Ungar stopped the fight. "This quarreling is getting us nowhere. Look
here's the deal: I'll stay with the rest of the group. Whisp you need to go with the
Slug-Man because its your kingdom who was laid waste by the Wasps. I'll be going
with Daniel, Zaiyal, Sarai, Narcis, Jr. and Tatu. We'll travel in groups of two. I'll be
teamed up with Narcis. Daniel and Zaiyal will be teamed up. And Sarai, Tatu and
Jr. will mark the final team. We'll all work together to find the Spirit Blade which will take much longer than finding the Black Jewel pieces. Two of them have been
collected by Zeal and the enemy and Zaiyal has the last one, right Zaiyal?!" said
Ungar. "Right here!" said Zaiyal. Zaiyal held up the Black Jewel.
After this the
Slug Man and Whisp went back to the Bee Kingdom to rebuild the Imperial Bee
City while the final team was established lead by Ungar the Warlock and included
the likes of Daniel the Gatekeeper, Zaiyal, Narcis, Sarai, Tatu and
Sun-Wukong Jr. A total of 7 heroes began to travel on an epic journey that was
expected to take months perhaps even a year certainly no Journey to the West. But
still quite the adventure and an adventure that Daniel could only have dreamed of
in his old life. But it would become clear through Narcis that there were limits to a
Bodhisattva which was already evident due to his defeat by Tatu.
