Chapter 66 - The Golden Guardians

Star: He ripped open a rift for everyone to follow into, looking up at the frozen titan. "Multhi?!" He darted in, everyone following behind him, his eyes scanning frantically. "Where is he?!"

Radna: He ran in behind him, gripping his hooks tightly. "Tiffany is gonna fucking kill us if we don't bring Multhi back, probably Alces too."

Sophi: She took in a deep breath and followed behind Star, trying to stay close to Alex and Radna. "Shh, don't say that, we're bringing him home..." she whispered, looking up at Radna briefly as they walked.

Alex: He appeared on top of the chest of the creature, looking inside the hole in its chest. "Hey, I found him! He's in here!"

Star: He dashed up there quickly, going inside the beast to pull Multhi out, appearing back outside with everybody else. Multhi's body was badly burned and injured, blood dripping from his body and staining his clothes. Star lay him down slowly, his hands hovering for a moment. "He's hurt...Alex!"

Alex: "I got it." He knelt next to him, holding his hands above Multhi's body, his hands glowing green. "He's alive...but barely. With these kinds of injuries, he's lucky to be alive."

Sophi: She sprinted up to Multhi and kneeled, kissing his forehead and helping Alex heal by sending her own energy through as well. "Fuck, why did you have to push yourself so hard..." she whimpered, taking a deep breath and sighing. "B-but...thank you for defeating the titan...we're proud of you..."

Multhi: He slowly opened his eyes, looking up at her and Alex. "Sophi?...Alex?...did...did we win?" He blinked slowly, some of his burns still slowly fading away. "Tss, ow fuck..."

Alex: He kept his hands steady, eyes focused as he continued healing him. "Don't move too much, buddy."

Star: He crossed his arms, tension slowly easing as relief set in. "Don't...ever do something so foolish."

Sophi: She rubbed Multhi's hair, giving him a weak smile as she looked into his eyes. "Yes, Multhi...you won..." She looked up at Star, a wave of emotions passing through her expression as she met his gaze.

Multhi: "W-where's Noctum?..." He sat up slowly, rubbing the side of his head from his throbbing headache.

Solarius: "That will be my issue to solve; you all have done enough and dealt with enough because of my brother. It is only fair that I deal with this matter."

Star: He turned toward him, still catching his breath. "Are you sure? We could always try to help."

Solarius: "You all already saved many lives; there is no help needed past that."

Sophi: She stood up slowly, shuffling up to Solarius and reaching her hand out to him. "We want to help, or at least, can we tag along and make sure you're okay?"

Solarius: "Tell you all what, I will reach out to all of you if I need help. What is your guy's group name anyway?" He looked down at her, then at the others.

Alex: "My wife and I kinda just got here, so..."

Radna: He crossed his arms slightly, tilting his head. "The Golden Guardians."

Alex: His eyes darted over to Radna, and he smiled a bit at hearing that old name.

Multhi: He sat up a little more despite the pain, eyes lighting up. "That's a cool name! We are like a superhero team!"

Star: He smirked slightly, patting Multhi on the head. "Yeah, exactly!"

Solarius: He nodded slowly, arms folding. "The Golden Guardians, huh? Catchy."

Star: He stood up, facing Alex and Sophi, his expression firm but hopeful. "You know this can only work if you two join us too."

Alex: He looked down at Sophi for a brief moment, watching her nod and smile before taking her hand. He turned back toward Star, giving a small grin. "Alright, alright, I know how much you need us. We are in."

Star: He let out a slow breath, the tension finally easing from his shoulders as he looked around at everyone. "Then it's settled...Golden Guardians, together."

Multhi: He gave a weak but proud smile, still leaning slightly into Sophi's support. "We actually did it...We made something real..."

Radna: He exhaled sharply, crossing his arms with a faint smirk as he looked away. "Yeah...don't make me regret that name."

Solarius: He turned slightly, a faint approving nod given before he stepped back. "Then I will remember this...Golden Guardians."
