Matt opened his eyes to find himself in a huge
palace. Matt looked around until he heard a voice,
"You are not welcome here human. Leave this place or
suffer!" Matt took out his blade and looked around
saying, "I was destined to save the Pridelands. I will
save my family, no matter what the cost it takes me to
get them back! Show yourself so I can beat you
senseless!" Several tourches began to burn as Matt
started to see a figure starting to appear. It didn't
look like anything at first, but then it took more of
a lion form as it said, "I'am Mufasa, the former ruler
of the Pridelands. I have never back down from a
challenge! I will kill you and throw your body onto
the land below!" Mufasa jumped at Matt, who did a
back-flip to escape Mufasa's claws. Matt jumped at
Mufasa, swinging his sword hard at Mufasa, which he
was cut badly on his right front arm. "It can't be?!
The legendary blade, the Earth Blade? How can this
be?!", Mufasa said as a bright light appeared out of
nowhere and a white lion, standing on two legs looked
at Matt and Mufasa. "Takauto?! It's a honor to finally
meet you.", Mufasa said as he bowed to Takauto as
Takauto walked close to Matt. "So, we finally meet
Matt. I'am Takauto, your ancestor. I've been watching
you ever since you were born. I seen Nightmare
kidnapped your family as well as Rion and Tanabi, but
with my powers alone, I can't enter the Oblivion
Castle without the help of you. There are seven demons
that were loyal to the monster that I defeated
hundreds of years ago that acted like keys to enter
the castle. If you defeat them and absorb their
powers, you can enter the castle, defeat Nightmare and
his master, and save the Pridelands and the world from
the ultimate darkness. Your family should be free from
their control, however there's one thing I need to
tell you. The monster that I defeated years ago had
several humans that were changed into lions. The
monster called them 'The Loyal Knights of Oblivion'.
They were extremely powerful and I was almost close to
being killled by them, but the Earth Blade saved me.
To be quite honest, I think that the Earth Blade is
not trully in its true form. The only way you can
unlease the Earth Blade's power is to show courage,
kindness, loyalty, power, and wisdom...But, that's
been only written in books." Matt couldn't believe
what he was hearing as Mufasa heard a loud noise.
"Something is here...something evil.", Mufasa said
grimmly. "It's one of the demons. It followed you here
Matt and now it has taken control of the palace! You
must free the kings of the past from the demon's
control...here, take this. It's a map of the palace
and the location of a good weapon to help you defeat
the demon. Remember Matt, you're this world's last
hope!", Takauto said as Matt took the map and ran deep
into the palace to save the kings of the past and
defeat the demon.
   Meanwhile, on the very top of the palace, the wind
demon sat on the throne of the first king of the
Pridelands. "With the power that I have, I can control
those lions to do my bidding, but I must send knights
down into the palace to help them deal with that
human! My loyal knights, go down there and destroy
that human!" A horde of 100 knights, with every type
of weapon that can be carried cheered and stormed down
the steps into the bowels of the palace. The wind
demon looked at the darkening sky as the demon started
to laugh loudly and evily when Nightmare appeared.
"So, you think you can defeat that human? That human
has hidden powers because of his ancestor...being able
to change into a lion. That item I remember hearing
about that human's ancestor made me look into what
that was. It was a item that allowed Takauto to speak
to the animals, but he did not need it anymore after
he became a lion by the sheer force of will.  He did
put the energy of the lion inside the item and the
power of becomming a lion is now in the bodies of the
human and his family. Master is using those two lions
to help make that family of the human into his loyal
knights to stay lions forever, but if you and the
other demons are destroyed by the human, everything
will be ruined! So, make sure you keep the human busy
for the time being!", Nightmare said as he disappeared
into the mists, leaving the wind demon thinking.
    Matt looked around as he starts finding the
treasure that was on the map. "Damn, where the hell is
it?!", Matt said to himself as when he turned a
corner, several wind knights and two posessed lions
stood before him. "You will not find the Pride Bow and
we are here to make sure you don't interfer with our
master's wish to rule the Palace of the Kings!
Attack!", One of the wind knights said as they ran
towards Matt with their weapons drawn. "I have no time
to deal with you losers!", Matt said as he ran towards
them and slashed two of the knights in half with one
swipe of his sword. "What the?!", A wind knight said
as it backed away from the fight, "Master is not going
to like this...Arrgghhhh!" The knight got his head cut
off as Matt dodged the two lions. "I can't kill them,
they are under the control of the wind demon...What
the?!", Matt said as his sword began to glow an bright
light and blinded him. Matt opened his eyes and saw
two normal color lions sitting in front of him. "Thank
you human. You have freed us from the demon's control.
We will head to the lobby of the palace and wait there
until you defeat the wind demon. There are eight other
lions that are deep within the wind demon's spell and
they have the power to use Fire, a black magic spell
that you better talk to Rafiki about after this is
done. Good luck human!", One of the lions said as they
both disappeared into the mist.
   Meanwhile, on the top of the palace, the wind demon
grew more annoyed as Matt fought off his minions to
find the Pride Bow. "Damn, that human is a bigger
threat than I first thought. I better be on lookout
for that human. Nightmare might be right...." Back
down in the palace, Matt continued to fight the
knights and saving the controlled lions until he
reached a huge room where Matt saw a huge treasure
chest in the middle of the room, but there was several
knights and three controlled lions surrounding the
chest. Matt took out his sword and said, "Nothing will
get in my way from saving my family!" With that being
said, Matt ran towards the knights and lions with his
sword drawn and began fighting them. The fight felt it
was going on forever until the knights were slained
and the lions were freed from the wind demon's power.
Matt walked by the bodies of the knights until he saw
something shiny on one of the bodies. Matt picked it
up and looked at it. It was a key, but nothing compare
to other keys he seen. It was a little bigger than
those old keys his grandma uses at her house and then
Matt heard a voice. "Matt, that key is the Skull Key.
That key will open the treasure chest to get your
first weapon to use against the darkness, the Pride
Bow. That key will also open the Master Door that will
lead to the wind demon, where you must use the bow to
defeat it with.", The voice said as Matt walked up to
the treasure chest and put in the key. All of a
sudden, the chest opened by itself and Matt looked
inside. Matt tooked out a bow and 20 arrows and
studied them carefully. After confriming that the bow
was the Pride Bow, Matt began his trek to where the
wind demon is located.
  The wind demon looked even more mad as he hears his
knights were being taken down by a human. "Damn that
human! He's a thorn in my master's plans! I must deal
with that human myself!", The wind demon thought to
himself as Matt ran closer to where the demon was
located. Matt ran to a huge hall and saw ahead of him
was a locked door and fifty knights ready to fight him
off. "I have no time to deal with you freaks! Out of
my way!", Matt said as he ran towards the knights with
his sword in striking pose. After ten minutes of sword
clanging and knights yelling in death, Matt stood
there with dead bodies all around him. Matt walked up
to the door, took out the key and placed it into the
keyhole. The door unlocked and Matt opened the door
and headed up the steps to the top of the palace.
   Matt walked out on top of the palace rooftop and
looked around before hearing a voice from above. "So,
you're that human that been giving me and my master
problems. You are going to die now!", The wind demon
said as he sent a minature tornado at Matt, which he
dodged easily. Matt looked up to the sky and pulled
out the Pride Bow and got ready to strike before the
wind demon attacked again. Matt got a arrow out and
prepared it just as the wind demon attacked again. The
wind demon kicked Matt in the face just before Matt
unleased an arrow into the wind demon's leg, making it
roar in pain. "Arrrggghhhh!", The wind demon yelled as
it crashed into the ground. Matt tooked out the Earth
Blade and ran over and struck the wind demon several
times, making it bleed very deeply. The wind demon
coughed up alot of blood as it looked at Matt.
"You...you are the choosen one...You will not defeat
my master...my brothers will revenge my death.", The
wind demon said. Matt just laughed as he lifted the
sword in the air as he said, "Yeah and soon, they will
be joining you...nothing will stand in my way to save
my family and the world!" Matt swinged the sword and
cut the wind demon in half. Matt stood there as
Takauto stepped forth and saw the wind demon dead.
"Matt, good job on defeating the wind demon. Lift your
sword up and take the ability that the wind demon
used...the power to control the winds.", Takauto said
as Matt looked at the wind demon's body and lifted his
sword in the air as a bright light appeared out of
nowhere and the wind demon vanished as Matt is blinded
by a flash of light. Matt opened his eyes and saw the
Earth Blade changed into a new form. "Matt, that blade
has now become the Wind Scar Blade. As you take the
powers of the other demons, your sword will change
until it will take the legendary form, but first lets
go back to the entrence of the palace and plan what to
do next.", Takauto said as Matt and him teleported
back to the entrence of the palace.
