Arthas, Kel'Thuzad, Jaina, Twilight and Anub'arak watched from the top of the glacier. They saw Illidan now having an additional pair of wing in addition to his appearance that Arthas saw previously, Arthas grimaced “I believe it’s time we remind him why he should fear death.”

Twilight growled “Indeed!”

Kel’Thuzad grimaced as he turned to Jaina who was glaring at the three of them “It’s time for us to end this.”

Twilight and Arthas made up the main group that quickly took a group of creatures near a gold mine. Arthas grimaced “So these are the obelisks that grant access to the Lich King’s chamber.”

Twilight nodded as she and Arthas begun to set up a base around the Obelisk.

Meanwhile Anub’arak, Kel’Thuzad and Jaina had taken over a small Naga base. Kel’Thuzad bowed “I have noticed you look quite pretty in that dress.”

Jaina grimaced “Don’t even try, you were responsible for my death in you remember besides I have had enough of old perverts.”

Kel’Thuzad growled “I am not like that, Antonidas enjoyed the young girls but I did not, I spent much of my time studying alone! I remember when I walked through the streets of Dalaran, I heard the phrase Old Pervert more than once on his account and I hated it, If I ever see him again I’ll use his entrails as his noose!” Jaina nodded not bothered by the his harsh words about her former master.

It didn’t take long for the two groups to build fully formed bases with spirit towers guard every entrance. Arthas launched a heavy assault full of Abominations, Meat Wagons, Frost Wyrms and countless other undead against Kael'thas base while Twilight defended the base around the obelisk..

Jaina’s force meanwhile decimated the Naga base, not even paying attention the Naga guarding it. Arthas grimaced as his forces has torn apart the base only to see Kael'thas glaring at him, Arthas frowned “Who are you working for?”

Kael'thas growled “We work for Kil-jaeden, the Demonlord.” Arthas shrugged “Then I have no qualms about killing you.” Arthas ran up stabbing his sword deep into his chest, and with a single slice upward tore him in half.

Arthas’ and Jaina’s forces met up and proceeded to strike at each obelisk capturing each one with a ruthless assault, as all four Obelisks were captured Arthas turned to them “I need to go to the Frozen Throne, I have a few things to settle with Ner’zhul.”

Just as he headed toward the Frozen Throne Illidan landed in front of him “I must do this, don’t stand in my way!”

Arthas grimaced as he readied his sword “This is the end for you Illidan, your life ends here!” He ran froward his sword firmly grasped in his hand, his mighty swings quickly disarmed the former demon hunter, Arthas stabbed in the chest “Farewell Illidan” were the last words that the former demon hunter would ever here as Arthas hacked his body to pieces.

Arts then entered the Frozen Throne and climbed up a cold winding set of stairs, he frowned as he saw huge frozen crystal. Ner’zhul spoke “At last you’ve come, shatter this prison of mine so that I can be free.”

Arthas nodded as he smashed Hallowed Gate into the ice leaving the Lich King’s remains on the ice, Arthas picked up the helmet and put it on he felt power coursing through him he opened his eyes that were now the bright gold of the light “Now we are one!”

A massive wave of light flooded through the Scourge, Twilight, Kel’Thuzad, Jaina and countless others felt the massive force of light course through them, all the abominations erupted in flash of light revealing several skeletons wearing golden glowing armour. Arthas stepped out with a smile as he stood there the helmet gleaming “From this day forth, we are no longer the Undead Scourge, we are the Order of the Cursed Light!”

He then approached Anub’arak and the crypt friends “You have suffered a great deal under the Lich King but no more.” The glowed with light and they were restored to the Nerubians they were in life “Rebuild you kingdom Anub’arak.”

He bowed “I will. You have my thanks, Arthas.”

As his group began to move he turned to Twilight with a smile, he walked over to here and knelled as he produced a plain golden ring “Will you marry me?”

Twilight smiled “I will Arthas.” He placed the ring on her horn and they kissed passionately unaware that soon they would have a change of Locale.
