The moment several purple portals opened, multiple events unfolded. Events that would change Middleworld forever.

  "Friends! Listen up, it's time to tell you the plan we'll follow to collect all the Crystals we can find at the celebration!" - This moment took place a few days ago when Two and his group arrived at the Black islands. The Black islands are two hours away from Middleworld, making it the perfect place to set up a small base.

  "First, I'll try to convince the rulers nicely, ALTHOUGH I do NOT have high hopes that they'll actually be persuaded... after all, why would they give up such powerful items as the Crystals? So I'll tell y'all the main plan on our menu!" - Two's whole group started chanting, they all have the same goal and they believe that Two will lead them to it.

  "...As soon as I raise my hands above my head...which you will see through the open portal from which I will come to the celebration, Six will open several more portals from which you will come to my aid. In total, we will divide into seven groups."

  "According to information we obtained from our friend..." - Two pointed to a man tied to a tree. He was a major member of the black Crystal army, which had a small base on the Black islands. Two and his group tactically attacked this base two days before carrying out their plan so that no one would have time to realize that something was wrong on the Black islands. Two also attacked this base so that he could obtain the information he needed to attack the celebration.

  One member of Two's group, Eighty Two, has the ability to read minds when he touches someone, so they got all the information they needed from this guy. The guy only knew the basics, but that was enough to carry out the plan if luck was on Two's side.

  "Group number one is me and Forty. The black Crystal is the most powerful, so Forty will isolate me and the king in a bubble, and I'll have a nice date with him. Groups two through six will each contain three of us. The task for each trio will be clear... to attack the individual rulers of the Crystals!!!! The last group, which will include most of us, has the most fun task... TO KILL EVERYONE WHO GETS IN OUR WAY!"

  Everyone started chanting again. Two assigned each member of his group to an individual team, finalized the last details and everything was ready. The plan which Two named "Colorful Tragedy" could begin.

  According to Two's plan, three members of his group were approaching each ruler. While Two had a "date" with Horwann and the leader of his army, Flame - the ruler of the red Crystal kingdom, had a clear goal. To protect his daughters.

  "Girls! Stay behind me, but a little further away so you don't get burned." - Flame winked at his daughters and grabbed his scythe. The scythe is a legendary weapon that contains the red Crystal.

  Two uninvited guests are approaching me, one sliding across the ground at great speed without even lifting his feet. The other looks like an ordinary person. Well, time to give them a little heat under their feet!

  Flame slammed the scythe into the ground, creating a fiery arc that rushed toward the people approaching Flame. The arc burned everything it touched.

  The Red Crystal is a very powerful crystal, but also one of the most dangerous to use. The Red Crystal has the power of fire... very strong fire. If the user used all the power of the Red Crystal, the surrounding damage would be catastrophic. Most Crystals can do more things, such as the Black Crystal, which can control the dead or allow the user to travel through shadows. The red crystal has only one power and that is fire - to control it, create it, and be immune to it. If the red crystal is in the right and trained hands, it is the perfect weapon. If not, then I wish everyone nearby the best of luck.

  A member of Two's group, who was sliding across the ground as if surfing, easily dodged this attack to the side thanks to his speed. He drew his sword and tried to stab Flame from the side as soon as he got close to him.

  Flame managed to react in time, clashing his scythe with the sword of the man who had the number fifty-six burnt into his hand. Flame intended for their weapons to collide, because his scythe began to burn and with it, Fifty Six's sword as well. This flame instantly ignited Fifty Six.

  Fifty Six quickly slid away from Flame and a half-burned "ordinary man" ran onto the scene. His hand had turned into a curved blade. But before he could reach them, Flame created a circle of fire around himself that burned anyone who came near.

  Unfortunately, Flame did not know that someone was already standing in the circle. Flame was stabbed in the back and when he turned around, he saw only a flying knife, but as soon as he heard a voice, he realized that this person was simply invisible.

  "Those who play with fire can get burned, right?" - The person pulled the knife out of Flame's back. The circle of fire around Flame shrank, and his daughters could see their bleeding father.

  Spark's eyes began to fill with tears, but Ash decided to act.

  "DADDDD!!" - Ash ran into the flames surrounding Flame. She threw her personal knife, which she always carried with her, at the flying knife that had stabbed Flame.

  Ash aimed at the flying knife but since she was aiming in anger and knife throwing was not her strong suit, she missed of course. However, luck was on her side because she hit the invisible person right in the head.

  Ash ran to the bleeding Flame, burning herself badly on the way because the grass around Flame was on fire.

  "Ash... n-now...now it's up to you." "Dad, no, it's just a small scratch. Surely the mighty Flame won't die from one stab, right?!"

  "You're right!" - Flame coughed up blood. "But just to be sure, I'd prefer to hand it over to you." - Flame handed Ash the scythe, which contained the red Crystal. Red energy passed through Ash's entire body, just as black energy had passed through Horw's I entire body when he discovered how to use the black crystal.

  The burning Fifty Six tried to interrupt the transaction between Ash and Flame but it was too late. Ash had already absorbed the power of the red Crystal. Ash aimed the scythe at the sliding Fifty Six. Fifty Six prepared to dodge to the other side which would have been possible thanks to his speed but Ash wasn't going to take any chances.

  A wave of fire shot out of the scythe which Fifty Six was unable to dodge. However, this wave also hit the guards and guests that the guards were protecting from Two's group in the background. Ash wanted to burn all the attackers and didn't care about the surrounding damage.

  Ash was ready to avenge her father no matter what the cost.
