Chapter 16
So it seemed as though, time had stopped when Lumanite X also heard that, “Lumanite X cannot die unless you use the 3 crystals that you currently possess to utterly destroy him, like it says in the prophecy!”Lumanite X’s head, at that point, started ringing like somebody took a sledge hammer to it. Images started to flash in his mind very quickly, like his entire life passing before his eyes. He even remembered one time when Sage Tanner told him that, “You need to collect all the 7 crystals and return them to heaven! However if the dark lord Venomeous collects just a few of them, and decides to use the powers contained inside them against you Lumanite X, you will surely die!”
So at that moment Lumanite X was losing hope and the spirit of fear came rushing in once again and penetrated through him, contaminating his inner soul so drastically, even to the point that he could barely move. When he tried to throw a punch at Venomeous, it was so sluggish that Venomeous almost had pity on him. So the dark lord of the evil Dynamite X Empire knew and was made fully aware that, this was the one and only chance to kill the one and only Lumanite X. So he decided that he was going to finish him off.
The Dynamite X Empire army cheered for their leader, while the Sandovian army could barely watch as their faithful leader was headed to his doom.
So Venomeous decided to throw him on the ground one more time and then mock him by saying, “If you really love your beloved Nebula, you would have protected her and not let her die!” Venomeous said this to him again to make him so angry, to the point of trying to caused him to be possessed, and to put his inner soul in more torment, knowing that, this will cause the warrior of light to lose his mental and physical composure. So while Lumanite X was out of control, it gave the dark lord, the edge to finally destroy his spirit, soul and body.
Then Lumanite X, while dazed and confused still heard what Venomeous had said to him, became almost vex, and attacked the dark lord once again. He knew that he had one more chance and hoped to prevent himself from death. So he planned on using his Lumanite Flash to blind Venomeous when he got closer to him. However at this point, he was more out of control when he tried to attack Venomeous by activating the Lumanite Flash that was in the oval crystal on top of his Lumanite Helmet. Consequently when Venomeous saw that he was ready to activate this powerful beam of light, he knocked the warrior of light down so hard that, even the Lumanite Helmet went flying off his head. Venomeous immediately used his evil Spirit Force powers to send the Lumanite Helmet, while it was in midair, far away to the other side of the waste land, right over the mountains that lead to the east side of the waste land.
Lumanite X was even more furious that he wasn’t able to use his Lumanite Flash to counter attack his fearless nemesis, so he became slightly powerless and became even more rampant, and wanted to grab Venomeous and chock him with his bare hands. So with the little amount of energy that he had, he reached over to Venomeous’s throat with his bare hands, also moving it slightly upward to maybe, hopefully if he gets the minor chance, he can even yank his golden mask off in the process. However Lumanite X became too weak to even leave a scar on his neck, let alone yank his mask off.
Venomeous knew at that moment, it is now the time to either kill the warrior of light or do something else to him, especially seeing that his ultimate supernatural powers were becoming weaker and weaker.
Therefore as Lumanite X’s supernatural powers became very feeble, Venomeous’s strength to use the 3 crystals on him became stronger. Therefore, the 3 dunamis crystals that were nailed firmly to the dark lord’s chest started to glow. Lumanite X was hoping that when it started to glow, it would restore some of his powers, since these were the same crystals that he was supposed to possess himself and use for the greater good, then return them back to heaven. However on the contrary, while the 3 crystals were glowing right in front of him, it was making him feel even weaker, almost to the point of death.
Venomeous was becoming so empowered and was totally in control of the raw powers inside the crystals that he could almost read Lumanite X’s mind and says to him, “No Lumanite X, you cannot hope for these crystals to restore some of your powers, because it’s being control by the ultimate evil, I Venomeous, the dark lord of the earth and of the underworld, also know me as Crystal Sky, soon to be the dark lord of the skies and of the heavens.”
The raw powers and energy emanating from the 3 crystals were so intense, that it started breaking apart the surfaces of the ground right behind Lumanite X, and instantly melting them into a clay-like substance, and then it gradually transformed into a puddle of liquid mud. This was one of the magic that Venomeous preformed while holding up Lumanite X.
Venomeous then took Lumanite X and disgraced him by dipping his face into the mud, and then pulls him back up and says to him, “Did you really believe that you could defeat me Noah? According to the prophecy, you do die by the hands of, one of the dark lords from the Dynamite X Empire!”
At that point Lumanite X was feeling cold and was shivering profusely, while the mud that was all over his face started dripping down, messing up the rest of his uniform. He was absolutely confused at that point and had no idea what was going on around him. He thought that his spirit had already left his body, so he was waiting to see the bright light at the end of the tunnel.
So, while Venomeous continued to speak to him, all the warrior of light could hear was gibberish, like a handful of people mumbling and moaning.
So, right before Venomeous was ready to finally kill Lumanite X, an evil voice spoke to him, it was one of his demonic allies from the second heaven, and he said, “This is your chance Venomeous to make him like one of us!”
“That’s a good Idea!” Venomeous responded back, and then said to Lumanite X, “I can totally give you back your supernatural powers if you join the dark side of the Dynamite X Empire!”
At that point Lumanite X was becoming a little bit more conscious, but was still very confused and could not answer. His subconscious mind almost gave into the dark side because he wanted to escape death, due to his present suffering and torment, along with his spirit wanting to leave his body.
Images flashed before his eyes once again, but this time, it was images of Dark Lumanite who got banished into the dark crystal, images of his sage and prophet, and then images of his beloved Nebula, then finally images of Sage Tamion. Afterwards, for split second he remembered what Sage Tamion said to him when he was at the planet Sandova; “Now it’s time, Warrior of Light to place your hand on this particular page to have the 7 crystals engraved in your palm so that you can use it to reflect and transform evil powers and turn them to good.”
Then, Lumanite X thought to himself at that moment that he still might have some hope to overcome the evil that was entering him. He could not answer Venomeous when he said to him, “I can totally give you back your supernatural powers if you join the dark side of the kingdom, the Dynamite X Empire!” because he could barely speak. So Venomeous being as evil as he could be, started restoring Lumanite X’s supernatural powers, however it was not the power of good, but it was the power of evil.
So as Venomeous held up the warrior of light, he puts his hands on his chest to restore his powers. Lumanite X’s eyes started to change color from a natural blue color, that he normally gets when he increases in supernatural powers or when he’s ready to fight just like all the members of the good Dynamite X Kingdom, to a purple color, then gradually to a deep red color; just like the evil lords and warrior of the evil Dynamite X Empire.
Every one of the Sandovian warriors were shocked that Venomeous was actually restoring their leaders supernatural powers, so some were delighted, however some were afraid and knew right away that Venomeous was up to no good and was transferring evil demonic powers to their hero and leader. So one of the Sandovian warriors while watching this, pulled out his sword wanting to stop Venomeous, but one of the phantom-like creatures of the Dynamite X Empire apprehended him.
Lumanite X became even more conscious and aware of what was happening to him since his powers are now being restored. He was also fully aware, and could easily discern very quickly what was happening to him. He was becoming evil like the dark lord, while his eyes continued to turn to a deeper red color. He shuffled his mind back to the last thought that he had previously when images were flashing before his eyes. He again thought about what Sage Tamion said to him which was,
“Now it’s time, Warrior of Light to place your hand on this particular page to have the 7 crystals engraved in your palm so that you can use it to reflect and transform evil powers and turn them to good.”
While this was happening, the Dynamite X Empire’s army was waiting, anticipating the greatest event in the history of the dark side of Dynamite X. This was, finally turning the ultimate warrior of light, Lumanite X to the dark side. Duma Jax was still lying on the ground with about a dozen Sandovian warriors surrounding him, feeling more helpless than ever, like his spirit wanting to leave his body. Sage Tanner and Prophet Dan who were still in the southern cave were even feeling more oppressed by the spirit of fear and death. So they were both still on the floor of the cavern unable to move. The dark and misty shadow being the spirit of fear manifested in the physical, and was still surrounding them. They were both shivering and twitching on the cold ground, like they caught a deadly fever, almost as though they were also ready to die.
Lumanite X was being greatly affected by this evil power that was entering him. It felt quite painful, because he was not used to having evil powers enter him in such a dramatic fashion such as this. In-spite of feeling very uncomfortable, he began to fight against this evil that was entering him, even though it was empowering him, making him stronger, restoring his energy and supernatural powers back to normal.
With the amount of energy that got restored back into his body, he even became more cognitive than ever before, and his brain started to function more efficiently. So he was able to recall what Sage Tamion said to him more effectively and knew what he needed to do next.
So as the saying of… “Now it’s time, Warrior of Light to place your hand on this particular page to have the 7 crystals engraved in your palm so that you can use it to reflect and transform evil powers and turn them to good…” entered his mind for the last time, he placed the palm of his hands towards Venomeous. The restoration of the evil powers, were now being channeled through the palm of his hands that had the miniature engraving of the 7 crystals.
Fortunately this was able to start restoring his supernatural powers and turn any evil powers that entered him into good supernatural powers. He started to feel the light of God the father, God the son and God the Holy Spirit. The evil powers that had already previously entered him were slowly dissipating, but not all of it was destroyed.
Venomeous had no clue what was going on when he was restoring powers back to the warrior of light. He could not discern that Lumanite X had the knowledge of the 7 crystals and could not even see that it was engraved in his hand. Lumanite X even gained wisdom from the Lord to pretend that evil powers were still entering him, so that he can fool Venomeous.
So when Lumanite X’s eyes started going from the evil red eyes like a dark lord to a bright blue color, he used some of the evil that was still in him to create an illusion to make his eyes red again. So for the first time in history of Dynamite X, the warrior of light used Venomeous’s own tricks to fool the dark lord himself. This was very wise, because it enable Venomeous to finally finish what he was doing, and by letting Lumanite X go, seeing his eyes no longer turning purple or blue, but staying red, signifying that he was completely evil, and had been totally transformed to the dark side.
“I now release you Lumanite X, my new apprentice! Now fly over to where my demonic allies dwell, up in the heavens, to proclaim your acceptance to the Dynamite X Empire! These allies are also known as the powers and principalities. They will accept you Lumanite X! You will no longer be known as the warrior of light, but you’ll be known as the warrior of darkness!” Venomeous said to Lumanite X seeing that he had full restoration of his supernatural powers. However Lumanite X was still only pretending that he had joined the dark side, keeping his eyes still looking as red as ever, just like the dark lords of the evil empire.
“Yes my master!” Lumanite X replied to throw Venomeous off. However Venomeous was extremely delighted to see the warrior of light obeying his command. So as soon as Lumanite X took off and flew to the other side of
The waste land, Venomeous and the rest of his army started to shout for victory. While this was happening, the rest of the Sandovian army were petrified and almost wanted to retreat, because they knew they lost the battle, seeing that their leader has gone to the dark side. So they ultimately thought to themselves, what next, the Dynamite X Empire army will come after us and kill us all. So we should either run to the southern cave, and hide there, and some of us can crawl through the walls of the mountains, making tiny crevices inside of it, to eventually escape the wrath of the dark lord. Or we obey what the dark lord says from now on, even if it meant taking us as slaves to work for him.
However for some reason they did not budge, something stopped them from going. God knew that if they all stampeded to the southern cave trying to escape, they would viciously trample over the sage and the profit who are still lying down, unable to move, and who were also close to the pathway of the cave. So God allowed them not to fear and run away suddenly.
Another option would be to use every bit of strength that was in each and every one of them to charge Venomeous’s army very quickly, and then scatter to other areas of the waste land. And the ones who were strong enough to withstand the impact will survive, but the ones who were not, will die. And as for Duma Jax, who was still on the ground half dead, there was nothing they can do for him. Maybe they can hide him in a secluded area inside one of their ships, while the enemy is not looking, and hide him deep in one of the transport chambers where the enemy can’t find him. All of them knew that Duma Jax was destined to live and not die. He will be the future leader and commander of the Sandovian army. So they had faith in that, even if an angel had to come down to protect him, it will happen.
