When the three-minute warning was called, Ryan pulls out his phone and starts looking through his playlist. As he carefully stands up on top of this giant warbird that was flapping its wings he looks down and can see the steaming mouth of the volcano coming into sight. He gets nervous and starts taking deep breaths. He knows he needs a song with a buff that will help him survive this perilous drop and he has just the song in mind. In the mood for metal, He looks at the song “Tsar Bomba” from Avatar and starts playing it on a low party mode setting. He then puts on his helmet and grabs this bomb by the straps and loads it onto his back.

Alex looks over at him and while jamming out to the song says “So, you’re going with this song?” Alex asks him while grabbing his helmet and giving it a good jiggle.

“The buff of this song is epic. It gives me 10 seconds of pure invincibility, and 10 seconds of +600% armor rating and durability, and for what I’m getting myself into I am definitely going to need it.

“It’s really funny you are choosing this song for this mission. I mean This is a Swedish band, singing in German about something Russian, and your sky diving off a bird, into a volcano, with a bomb strapped to your back and you’re doing this all while dressed as Master Chief. Ryan, I don’t know if it gets any more metal then this!” Alex expresses excitedly.

Ryan looks over at Alex and takes off his halo helmet. “Oh Alex, I’ll probably out metal myself somehow in the future by accident. But for now, I’m excited!” He shouts as they pass right over mouth of the volcano. Zephyr grabs him and gives him a kiss while he still had his helmet off and takes it from his hands and sticks it right back on him.

“You come back to me you hear!” Zephyr tells him. Ryan looks at her with his golden visor blocking his eyes and nods at her. He then slowly starts sliding down off the side of the saddle. As he looks over the edge, he can see the volcano and spots around 2,000 anarchy members fully engulfed around the rim of the volcano. He summons forth his phone into his hand and turns the music’s party mode setting all the way up to the highest setting and runs off the edge of the bird and starts skydiving headfirst into the volcano from 15,000 feet. As he does, he catches the eye of some of the Anarchy captains and they all pull out their spy glasses to see what was heading toward them. When the captain spots the lime green Minecraft creeper Alex drew on the bomb, they start appearing confused. Suddenly Ryan puts his music onto “God Mode” volume and the landscape starts vibrating and the ground beneath their feet starts shaking. When one of the veteran captains who survived a run in with Ryan before puts together the loud music and the shaking world, he gets alarmed.

“That’s him! That’s the Monster who keeps slaughtering our men! DON’T LET HIM THROUGH!” He shouts at the top of his lungs to the other captains.

All the other captains take another look at Ryan through their spyglass and notices his phone in his hand and the bomb is now more recognizable since he has fallen a few thousand feet. The General then says: Oh, my Yulee! They are going to blow this volcano!” and then trembles in fear for a little bit. Then he raises his hands up and shouts: “OPEN FIRE!!!!” he orders. He points up at the sky toward Ryan. Suddenly all the Fire mages, Ice mages, and every single ranged magic user, and the archers on top of the volcano looks up at the sky and stops their summoning of the celestial witch Kansas and starts spamming barrages of everything they got up toward Ryan.

To Ryan as he was skydiving still 90 degrees straight down, he sees a huge wall of fireballs and spells come out of nowhere from the circumference of the rim on the volcano and sees them heading his way. The wall of incoming fire looked like streaking fireworks just being lite and slowly flying up toward him.

Alarmed Ryan yells “Shit!” and grabs his phone. “I need to time this activation just right!” He says to himself as he hurdles closer to this incoming fire. He looks at his phone and the song was at 1:55 He free falls for just a few more seconds and at 2:06 of the song start of the songs riff, he hits the “Activate Buff” button on his phone and the invincibility effect goes into effect for 10 seconds. Just as it activates, he gets hit with the violent and explosive “Anti-Aircraft” fire. In 2 seconds, he’s been hit with over 4000 rounds of Fire balls that have detonated on impact and some that have detonated around him. The Ice spells that hit his armor also bounce off of him, but their hits can be violently felt as well. Tie in the thunder bolts and the arrows that were thrown into the fray, and this was a Ride that would terrify any modern A-10 warthog pilot.

As he gets hit and continues ride through the hellish barrage of fire, the impacts slowly start to push him off course. He must adjust his angle and is forced to lay “Flat” in order to lean forward and guide him back on course. But this flat face down position decreases his terminal velocity and slows down his fall.

As this happen the next simultaneous barrage from the mages start to approach him. At this point his invincibility buff has worn off and now the sub buff- that increases his armor rating has taken effect. He was 3000 feet from the rim of the Volcano when the captains frantically start screaming: “Don’t let him through!” and order another hailstorm barrage on Ryan. As everyone desperately fires off the next barrage Ryan holds his breath and braces himself for impact. As the next wave of rounds hit him, he starts seriously taking a violent beating. He flies through an even heavier barrage, and every single blast that hits him rattles his cage. Not a single inch of his armor doesn’t get spared a beating. Every square inch starts soaking damage and the Wyonuim plates start emitting their glowing health color. The armor quickly blows through its blue, yellow phases and critically beyond, when he hits the red phase, he still starts soaking up damage and the armors hue starts pulsating. Halfway through the barrage it starts glowing Black and it starts disintegrating into fine sand. The last 12 hits he physically endures by himself as his armor starts to rip off and disintegrate.

As Ryan zooms through the mouth of the volcano he lets off a “WHOOOOO-HOOOOO!” cheer that echoes off the mouth of the volcano and drops his bomb with the mine craft creeper drawing off his shoulder and eyes the ledge that’s coming up fast. He attempts to reposition his arms to start burning [Ball Lighting] but can’t. He has taken such a beating from that last barrage they are severely bruised, and it hurts to move anything.

Not wanting to miss his landing zone, he quickly swipes to his homepage of his phone and activates his slow fall widget. As he starts to decelerate quickly, he leans back and away from his landing site. As he drags his feet against the walls to help the deceleration process hurry up, he quickly soon leans forward and pushes off the wall and starts moving in that direction toward his ledge. He hits the ledge at 25 miles an hour and his forward momentum makes him clear the gap and land inside the cavern. Right at the feet of 8 Succubi.

The bomb that he dropped at this point has entered the lava pool and has detonated. Steam starts to generate below, and brown ash starts to float up into the air. Ryan who was in extreme pain and mildly bleeding from his mouth and at 15% health without any armor on, looks up and sees a thirsty excited succubus staring down at him.

Alarmed at the danger he is in; Ryan grabs her feet and pulls her down. Grabbing the back of her neck with one hand He begins draining her health. This excites her and irritates her at the same time. This also draws forth the attention of her sisters. When he gets his health back to 25% the lead succubus draws out her katana, and Ryan chooses to let go of the demon he was stealing health from and fires off [Ball Lighting] in fire mode at the lead one at which he detonates the spell in mid-air at her head and the blast makes her go down and drop her sword. Ryan gets up and grabs it and enchants the sword with [Black Plasma] and thrusts it into her. Next, he looks at the big glowing void on the other side of the room and fixates his eyes to the wall behind it.

He darts behind it to the other side of the room and cuts down another succubus. At the other end of the chamber and with his back firmly against the wall, he sacrifices 5% of his health and takes a deep breath and fires [Chaos Blast] at them. The spell completely disintegrates them and fills the room with thick fire. The shockwave forces the fire out the chamber and the fire vents into the main vent of the volcano. However, as the fire vents outside of the room, the shockwave causes quite a few large sized rocks to fall down inside the chamber. Ryan looks up and darts out of the way of a huge rock that was coming down quickly. As he jukes out of the way of it, the last of the fire has vented out of the room and he can now take a breath. He pauses his music and attempts to recuperate.

Feeling slightly burned from that spell and weak from his low health he falls to his hands and knees and takes a quick rest. Unaware that another succubus has just passed through the portal from hell, Ryan hears footsteps behind him but doesn’t have time to turn around. The pastel blue haired succubus captain kicks him in the stomach and makes him go down.

“Great! I don’t have to go far for a meal” The Succubus announces out loud while leaning over and flipping him over.

The brownish ash that was starting to be emitted from the bottom of the magma layer was now starting to magically clot on to the main vent of the volcano, and a cap has just now formed. The steam that was being produced still from below was pressurizing the room and Ryan started to feel a change in pressure through his ears.

In pain Ryan shouts: “I don’t have time for this!” As the Succubus attempts to hop on top of him. When she gets on top of him, he notices her skin and body felt burning hot to the touch. She was so hot in fact that he was taking damage just by her being on top of him.

As he attempts to resist her from kissing him, he grabs ahold of her weapon that was in the sheath and enchants it with [Black Plasma]. This causes the blade to melt through the sheath it was in and gives him the ability to slice it through her side. This mild cut catches her off guard but she quickly catches on and attempts to put up a fight and stops him from slicing through her.

Still with her on top of him she manages to overpower him and gets a firm hold of the blade. The succubus then pulls the blade away from him and quickly stands up. With the blade still enchanted with [Black Plasma] and in her hands Ryan freaks out. With his adrenaline pumping hard, he picks up the other blade that was beside him and rolls backwards as she takes a swing at him. When he gets onto his feet, she attempts to take another swing at him. This forces him backwards back toward the ledge where the lava pool was located below.

He quickly runs toward the end of the ledge, and she slowly chases after him. When he reaches the end of the ledge, He waits for her to take a swing at him, and Casts [Ball Lightning] in Lightning mode and stuns her. He then takes the blade and enchants it with [Black Plasma] and jumps behind her and cuts off her wings. He then kicks her as hard as he could and sends her into the deep lava pool below. He then looks up at the mouth of the volcano and notices the new Cap above the mouth.

He quickly darts back to that void and prays to Arcadia for a Portal out of there.

Up top in the air, the team has been engaged in a dogfight with an Anarchy Warbird that was dead set on shooting them down. Kannell was twisting and turning and making evasive maneuvers from the Mages that were firing at them when suddenly the Prayer request for Ryan’s “Emergency exit" pops into Arcadia’s head. She does her best to lock onto his location and sends him a portal as Kannell pulls a hard Split-S.

Ryan deep inside the Volcano chamber sees Arcadia’s Green Portal and gets ready to enter it. But suddenly he tries to think of where that last succubus came from. When she attacked him, she was hot to the touch, and this puzzled him. Ryan then looks directly at that void. He suddenly remembers what Zephyr told him a while ago while they were here.

“This is a portal to hell!” He says out loud. Suddenly the image of Lilith, his ex-girlfriend pops back into his head and he starts piecing things together. He remembers the encounter with Lilith while he was with Alex in Faterra, and everything starts to make sense to him now.

“This is how she came back into the world!” He shouts. He then turns to the void and takes the Katana that was still enchanted with [Black Plasma] and plunges it into the void. He then slowly starts to bring the sword down to the ground and starts sealing up the rift. When he finishes sealing it up the main chamber starts to shake violently, and an enormous earthquake starts to take place. Ryan ditches the sword onto the ground and then darts through Arcadia’s portal.

Upon exiting the other side of the portal, the portal places him outside on an isolated ledge on the outside edge of the volcano. The hasty cast Arcadia was forced to make accidently placed him here. As Ryan looks down at his feet, he sees a sheer drop right below him and freaks out. He almost falls off the ledge but grabs the rock face behind him and regains his balance.

Since he already used his phones slow fall buff, he needs to wait 15 minutes to be able to use it again. He then spots his team being pursued by Anarchy members. As they zoom past him Ryan waves his arms at them. Kannell nods at him acknowledging to him that she sees him. Knowing that she was busy at the moment, he waits patiently and taps his foot. In the meantime, though, it was too quiet for him amidst the chaos that he’s caused, so He chooses to play: “Death By Rock And Roll” From The Pretty Reckless on party mode volume and stands by.

As he does so the mountain starts to shake violently, and it starts to make a terrifying noise. The Anarchy members at the top of the volcano now realizing what Ryan has done start to panic and those who could, started selfishly teleporting the hell out of there. Those left behind started panicking. The roaring of the volcano starts shaking the mountain even more and this causes even more people on top of the rim of the volcano to lose balance and fall. A few fall over the edge of the mountain, and a handful of Anarchists slip into the mouth of the capped volcano that was getting ready to blow. When Kannell zooms back around on the war Shikra, Ryan takes aim at their pursuers and charges up [Ball Lighting] In fire mode and takes aim. When the spell was fully charged, he lets it go and it takes off toward the black war raven that was pursing them. The fireball misses them by a little bit, but Ryan does his special ability and detonates the fireball in midair and fragments of the fireball hits the War Raven in the left wing. The Raven lets out a loud scream and starts to fight the input from the pilot. This allows Kannell to come back around to Ryan.

Upon coming around to him Ryan shouts: “Slow Fall me!” To Kannell.

Kannell as she zips by him Buffs him with [Slow fall] with one hand and turns away from the mountain as their pursers lock back on to them. Ryan then Heroically leaps off the edge of the mountain and starts burning [Ball Lighting] in flame mode and blasts off away from the mountain. Just then the steam pressure inside the volcano was just too great. The cap breaks loose, and a deafening explosion can be seen coming from the volcano. The cap is ejected high into the air and Pyroclastic ash starts flying into the air, and lava bombs start blasting into the air and starts bombarding onto the Anarchy’s base below.

The 2000 people who were at the top of the volcano’s rim when the Pyroclastic ash started coming out were instantly vaporized by the super-hot ashy air.

As this cloud started engulfing everyone, it was on the move and appeared to be chasing Ryan. Ryan at the time realized he wasn’t moving fast enough and starts throwing even more Mana into his little “Thruster” trick and starts speeding up his flight angle toward the ground.

For the next 30 seconds he quickly descends from 8000 feet and gets to about 4000 feet.

He then spots the mages on the War raven that were still chasing after his friends. They had a vendetta on shooting them down, weather they lived or died. Ryan, who was right above them, looks straight down and starts having a super heavy headache. He can’t burn [Ball Lightning] anymore and the spell suddenly ceases.

Ryan now realizing he has officially ran out of mana but has a clear shot of his friends’ pursuers; thinks fast.

He sacrifices 2% of his Remaining health and charges up [Chaos Blast] and takes aim at the rear of the bird. He lets the spell go and the enemy dodges his attack, but he does his little trick again and detonates this mini–Air Nuke and the violent explosive shockwave rips all the feathers off the bird, and also shears through the preexisting wound on the birds left wing. This severs its tendons, and the wing detaches from the bird’s body sending everyone on board into a spiraling fall.

The shock wave also hits his friend’s bird too, but the bird is only momentarily stunned unable to flap its wings, which slows it down fast. Ryan adjusts his descent and angle and times his approach with their’s. Kannell looks back and sees him coming in gets ready to make mild corrections to help him land back on the bird. Ryan does mild corrections on his forward and back lean and with utmost precision manages to land right on the saddle feet first right before collapsing face down due to his mana-depleted induced headache, and his extremely low health.

Meanwhile sitting atop a mountain adjacent to the volcano Mriya was zoomed in and looking at Ryan through her Spyglass. She appeared turned on from Ryan’s little badass stunt she just witnessed from start to finish. Now collapsing her spyglass, she writes down her final notes and motions in her teleportation mage. She now had an evil smile on her face and hastily snaps her fingers, signaling to her teleportation mage to get them out of there before the encroaching ash cloud reaches them.

Her teleportation mage teleports them over to a ship that was within range of his abilities, and she takes a teleportation “relay” train back to her castle in Palmlandia.

Back on the bird, Arcadia was now examining Ryan who was still lying face down.

Upon realizing he was at 2% health and beaten up badly she quickly starts healing him with her magic spells. Healing up was not easy though. He used [Chaos Blast] twice today and he was mildly corrupted from the spell. This forces her to “Cleanse” his soul first with her magic. As she does that, the corrupted tears in his arms that made him bleed blackish colored blood quickly disappear.

Now finished cleansing him of his self-inflicted corruption, she is now able to effectively heal him. After bringing him back up to full health Zephyr pushes her out of the way and starts hugging him in excitement. She was cheering at him and cursing at Anarchy base that was now being engulfed with Lava, fireballs and ash. Kannell flies them away and around the massive ash cloud and brings them safely to the Emperors Palace. Upon landing the emperors Painters had a huge iconic painting of Ryan in his Halo suit diving headfirst into the Volcano while charging through a legendary amount of Anti-Aircraft fire. The painter had a second copy of this painting already copied from the royal printer and carefully hands it to him while bowing.

The whole room was showing Ryan their respect and bowing down.

After a long and heart felt thank you from the Emperor, Queen Lake attempts to cash in a reward from him since he used her “Special” Taskforce to save his nation. He and her go in the backroom with Liz and an unknown conversation takes place. But in the meantime, Ryan and his team are offered an exotic breakfast and they all jump on it and start eating.

After eating, Ryan takes his memento painting and puts it into his void storage vault. The team then gets out of sight and take a portal over to Breanna’s boat. Upon getting to her ship, the team explain to her what Ryan just did, and also key her in on what is about to happen next.

She was to come with them on the return trip back to Staug. Breanna glad to hear the news, and even happier to leave this floating prison of hers, packs up her stuff and takes the next portal from Arcadia back to Staug.

Meanwhile over in Palmlandia

Upon arriving inside the castle, Mriya looks at her lead operations captain who was saluting her and says: “The “Investment” we made in Cheetoecchi was a bust. Our plans were once again foiled by that very same one annoying badass. I want you to track down Oli and send my general to squash this little annoying bug. I want him destroyed.” She orders him while sitting down in her throne. “Also tell Oli that he has a blank check to get the job done. Laws, Treaties and Conventions may be broken to achieve this. If he needs anything just give it to him. I’m getting irritated at my Ex’s boyfriend” She demands in an irritated tone.

“Yes, right away your highness” The captain replies to her. Just before he exits the chamber, he pulls out a letter from his coat pocket and slowly reaches out to her to give it to Mriya.

She sees the letter and snatches it from his hand. “Who is this from?” She hisses in a pissed off tone.

“From Wyozonia your highness” he replies as he turns away and leaves the room to resume his original order.

As Mriya grabs a letter opener from the table beside her and opens the letter, she spots the official seal of the Thickmane’s and rolls her eyes. She then starts to read the message.

“Your Deland minions have attempted to sell us something that was recently stolen from you. It would BEE wise to start looking into this matter further BEE for someone else buys it.” The letter said. Upon reading the message and getting the hint, Mriya glares at the message. She balls it up and throws it on the floor and knocks over the table beside her in rage. She then stands up and prepares herself for a journey to Deland.
