The floating island that the Monolith stood on was surrounded by a glowing purple barrier. As Taya flew the spaceship through, she suddenly noticed that she wasn't in her spaceship anymore. The force field had left it on the other side, where it slowly drifted off into space.
"Well, crap," Taya groaned. "There goes my ride home."
The magical energy inside the force field slowly lifted Taya down onto the floating island. It was nothing but gray rock, with a gigantic black spire jutting out from the center.
"The Monolith," gasped Taya. "I made it."
Then, looking up, she saw Resheph on top, placing an orb of green energy on top.
Taya cringed. "But not fast enough."
She pulled out Leukos and slowly began to scale the Monolith. As she climbed, she noticed something. Leukos was sending out streams of energy that were latching onto the sides and allowing her to climb more easily. About five minutes later, and Taya had reached the top.
Unfortunately, Resheph had already performed his spell. The green orb, shrouded in mist, was now sending out pulses of energy that broke through the force field and out into space.
"No..." Taya moaned. "I'm too late..."
Resheph turned his gaze on Taya. "You! You're that girl from Infernus!"
"Dang right I am," she growled, pulling out Leukos. "And my powers have doubled by then."
"Two times zero is still zero," snickered Resheph.
"Too bad for you, because I'm not into math." And with that, Taya charged at the god of plagues.
