Hours pass and the forest is filled with shrieks of pain. Lisa instantly regrets that she gave permission to Secton to "helping" her with her injures. Pixrry covers her pointed ears to drown out General Lisa's screams. As Lisa is pleading for Secton to stop, he doesn't listen at all, it's like he is extremely focused on the procedure. As Secton adds the last stitches to her arm he pulls a odd looking cast and places it on Lisa. As soon as he lets go, Lisa crawls away from Secton. He then walked up to Lisa and gave her a few pellets.

"You have to take these in order to heal. It's necessary...trust me..."

"(Gasping) Why...should I?!"

"Do you wan't to heal or not?"

As Lisa was going to say something Secton shoved the pellets in her mouth. Lisa started to cough and starts to curse at Secton for his "rough" behavior. Secton cleans his tools and closes his chest, as he's doing this Pixrry crawls to General Lisa and reassures her that everything will be fine. Lisa starts to calm down for a bit, and tries to stand. As she stood she noticed that Secton was walking toward the carriage, and with a few tries, Secton flips the carriage on it's wheels and he walked to Pixrry and carried her to the carriage, he then walked to Lisa. Lisa was still a little star strucked and before she knew it Secton grabbed her and placed her in the carriage with Pixrry.

"Secton what are you doing?"

"I'm going to find the beast Pixrry."

"How? that thing is probably gone for good!"

"Not, if it left tacks..."

"Why are you going to get them? I mean, I know why, but why?"

"I'm still following your command...[-protect and attack-] I need to find the rest and protect them."

Lisa jumps in the argument.

"I don't know if you noticed but we just got our ass' whooped by some dirt monster!"

"It doesn't matter...If we follow the tracks we can find him and rescue everyone else."

Lisa and Pixrry stayed quite and saw Secton grab some ropes and tied it to where his waist would be. He then started to pull the carriage with Pixrry and Lisa sitting inside. As Secton is pulling the carriage Pixrry casts a water spell to put out the fire from what used to be their camp. As the tracks lead deeper into the forest everyone starts to notice that the tracks are fading away. Secton scans the area to see if there is any tracks somewhere else. As Secton is scanning, Lisa remembered this part of the forest. She looks around and sees her old trail, which was confusing to her.

"Secton stop scanning please."

"Sure...what happened. Do you need more medicine?"

"NO! I mean look over there! That trail over there was made by me last night."

"How? The distance we traveled from this morning and tonight is fairly a long distance away from each other."

"I don't know, but if we follow it I think we may find him. At the end of the trail there is a clearing with a lot of dead branches and stumps."

"Is there anything to note in the clearing?"

"Yeah...there is a giant tree in the middle of the clearing."

"...INFORMATION RECORDED...Lets follow your trail then."

With the information given Secton walked toward the trail and followed it until it ends. As Secton pulls the carriage and follows the trail at the same time, Pixrry starts to hear faint groans further in the forest. It wasn't just Pixrry that heard, Lisa and Secton heard as well. Further down the trail Secton saw something in the corner of his orb. Even on closer inspection he couldn't see the figure clearly. Without asking Pixrry, she casted a ember spell above her finger to better see the figure. Lisa gasped in horror as the figure was one of the guards. His body drained of life, eyes pale, hair dried, skin engulfed in tree bark, bugs crawling out of his mouth and nose. They noticed as Pixrry's flame got bigger more bodies were hidden within the trees, all still groaning. Secton told Pixrry and Lisa to hold on as he ran further along the trail. Pixrry covered her eyes and Lisa starred at the horror of what this creature has done. 

Finally the groaning stopped and Secton reached the end of the trail that Lisa had left before. Secton then scanned the area and found the King and Queen in a bark prison. Pixrry wanted to get out of the carriage and hug them, but Lisa grabbed her wings and pulled her towards her telling her to be quite. Lisa then noticed that some guards were in the ground with only their noses out so they could breath. She then saw the creature fall from the tree tops then got absorbed within the dirt. The flower that was on top of the beasts head was following him like some sort of antenna. The flower stopped in front of the King and Queen, and rose from the dirt. 

"You know you two are going to be part of something special..."

"Stay away beast! Or I'll-"

"Or  you'll what?! You got no power here King! You and your Queen are going to see the reawakening of Erk The Green Father! It will only take the rest of your guard's souls to awaken him!"

Before the Queen could intervene the process had begun. The guards that were in the ground were swallowed whole, and once they were swallowed by the planet new grown trees sprouted in their place. It was just like with the guards from earlier, except this time it's more frightening in action. As the event was taking place, Secton had gotten closer to the King and Queen but before he could do anything the ground shook and within it's trembling effect everyone had stumbled to the ground, including the dirt creature. A strange blue aura came from the sky and surrounded the giant tree almost engulfing it. The night sky grew darker, darker, yet darker. The sky was now filled with souls heading toward what used to be the giant tree and thunder was what lit the sky. The event had ended. Pixrry and Lisa were still in the carriage when this happened, yet Pixrry had fallen from the carriage because of the trembling of the dirt. 

The tree was still the same. Had the ritual not succeeded, Secton thought. The beast was still laughing and for good reason. The tree started to move on it's own, it's size increasing drastically, the bark from it's body started to fall as if the tree was it's prison. Pixrry saw a face within the tree, but couldn't tell it facial expression. Secton started to record this, but something was off. Secton had felt this feeling before, like a long forgotten bond. He continued to record this event as what used to be a tree started to roar, what used to be it's branches shifted inward and became it's arms, the roots grew further out of the ground breaking any sturdy rock in it's path, and the body slumped over into a massive hunch and a head sprouted at the end of the body, twisting multiple times before stopping and revealing two bright glowing eyes and a rather large lower jaw, roaring to reveal it's presence. It started at the beast then shifted it's focus to the King and Queen.

"WHO DARES AWAKEN ME?!"

"It's me master Erk, your guardian"

"IF IT ISN'T EARTHEN, WHAT HAVE YOU BROUGHT ME?!"

"I've brought you the King and Queen of Blezxical. They entered your sacred grounds and making fires around the-"

"...fire...Fire...FIRE!"

Erk's thundering voice echoed through the forest, making a sound wave so loud that some trees were swayed away and in the process Lisa and Pixrry were blown away with the carriage revealing their position. Erk and Earthen look in their direction, the King and Queen also look to see their daughter underneath the carriage. The Queen pleads to Erk to leave her alone, but Erk payed no attention.

"Master let me."

"No...let me..."

One of Erk's roots come out of the ground and entangles Pixrry legs and dragged her towards him. Secton got back up from the shock wave and saw Erk dragging Pixrry from her injured legs. Erk then rose Pixrry to his height and proceed to constrict his grasp, making Pixrry scream.

"Tell me girl...what happens if I do this?"

"(Sobs) Do what?."

Erk's grasp got tighter making her legs bleed, and making Pixrry scream again.

"I see you are a screamer...well what do you think Earthen? What shall I do with our trespassers?"

"Let's torture them! Make them learn when they start a fire in a forest."

"Correct you are Earthen..."

Earthen lowered the dirt cage and Erk grabbed the King and Queen with his roots. While General Lisa was trying to escape, Erk found her and grabbed her as well. Secton had stayed within the bush and saw Erk dragging everyone towards him. Erk started to laugh with Earthen along side him. Pixrry saw Secton within the bush and with the little voice she had left, she gave Secton the command.

Secton's orb glowed a dark red and rose from the bush.

"YOU CAN NOT RULE WHAT I HAVE TURNED TO ASH!"

"Earthen take care of that creature."

Earthen followed Erk's orders and jumped to were Secton was and the two locked eyes. Earthen threw a punch to Secton, but he avoided the attack. Secton then grabbed one of Earthen's arms and ripped it apart from his body. Earthen then let out a shriek that got the attention of the King and Queen, even if they were upside down, they couldn't help but cheer Secton on. As the two fought Earthen went underground and circled Secton for a while, Secton planted both his fists into the ground and his arms started to glow and change. His arms transformed into two giant machines and started to make a strange noise. As the flower circled Secton the ground stated to shake, as the ground shook the flower rose from the soil revealing Earthen's body, but something was wrong. His body was malformed and wrong. Holes revealing his roots and it's face dislocated. Secton took this opportunity to attack Earthen while he was weak. He aimed for his head and struck the blow, Earthen's body disappeared while his flower fell to the ground. Secton then walked up to Erk, but failed to realize that Earthen rose from the dirt once more. Earthen then latched on to Secton will rooting him down, then the ground started to absorb Secton. Earthen forced the process and Secton was fully submerged into the dirt. Erk stared at the ground to make sure Secton was stuck. Secton was still able to hear what was happening above ground.

"S...Secton...please...you can...do t...this.."

Secton heard this voice before. It was Pixrry, she cheered Secton on even if she had little consciousness. With that little boost of confidence the ground stated to light up. Earthen and Erk were confused and leaned closer to bright light, what they didn't expect was Secton to burst out of the ground knocking Earthen back. Secton then started to spazz out, Earthen jumped toward Secton, but before he could latch on once more. Secton's orb glowed and his head spun multiple times while shooting out a red beam around the forest. Earthen was then split in half and Erk's grasp on everyone was released, and they all fell until Secton jumped to them and grabbed them before they hit the ground. Earthen tried to get up, but he noticed that he couldn't regenerate. The King and Queen were thankful for Secton's rescue, and Lisa was glad she was alive, while Pixrry was left breathless with her legs bleeding more than before. Erk saw the damage that Secton had caused around the forest, and he saw Earthen whimpering in fear, for he couldn't move. Filled with anger Erk threw one of his roots toward Secton, impaling him in the process. Everyone stood still and Pixrry watched Secton's impaled body rise off the ground. Erk took him toward his eye level with anger.

"HOW DARE YOU ATTACK THE FOREST! FOR THAT I'LL TAKE YOUR SOUL AND THEN I'LL TAKE THEIRS NEXT!"

Erk opened his horrifying mouth and made a hollow noise absorbing a dark purple aura. Pixrry remembers the color, it was the magic she used to free Secton from his rock prison. The King and Queen were startled to see such a sight, but Pixrry was the most horrified; however, Erk had stopped. Erk looked around and looked back at Secton. He placed him next to Pixrry and General Lisa.

"Y...your Majesty!"

"Are you referring to us Erk?"

"No...i'm referring to him..."

Erk pointed at Secton's limp body.

"It's the Prince of The Loop...Secton"
