Chapter Thirty One: The Demons and The Dragon

The dragon gave one more roar, and the large hall was somewhat lit up better by the purple torches on the walls. Strangely the inner area of the hall was lit up fine, while the sides of the round shaped room were still pretty dark. Lareo morphed into demon form, drawing his sword. Raylo and Ruleta prepared for battle. The dragon began walking closer, making a large thud and a small shake when it walked. "Careful guys. If Zalendor made this, and thinks it can take us down, then it must be the real deal." Lareo warned them. "Yeah yeah. We took Zal back in the day, we can take this tin can of a dragon!" And Ruleta rushed into battle. "Ruleta wait!" Raylo called, but to no use. Then rocket launchers popped out of the dragons shoulders, and began firing at Ruleta. She dodged a direct hit, the the force of the blast blasted her back. Raylo caught her. "Tried to tell ya." "Whatever, come on!" She answered. Lareo had flown at the dragon after it fired the rockets, but it fired laser beams from its eyes at Lareo. He dodged one, and blocked the second. But the force of the second shot blasted him down. He caught himself though. "Ok, Its got good fire power. But perhaps its not to fast. It is a robot." Lareo said aloud. "Im on it!" Ruleta said back. She dashed behind the dragon with swift speed. But at almost the same speed the dragon spun around, and slashed at her with its steel claws. "Ah!" She yelled. Raylo quickly fired lunar beams at the unaware dragon. It spun back around, and fired a large beam of lava out of its mouth. Not only did it easily destroyed the beams, it nearly destroyed Raylo! Lareo quickly flew into Raylo to knock him out of the way. After a few seconds of being on the ground, the lava vanished. "How in the? Its insides are made of metal and steel. How can it use lava without destroying it's self?" Raylo asked. "Knowing Zal, he probably has the body reinforced, or some kind of powers are in the metals. Either way, it dont matter." Lareo answered.

Ruleta tried attacking the dragon with twilight flames, but they had no affect. "Ruleta, have you ever tried burning a dragon?" Lareo asked, trying to make a point. "I get your point, but its not a real dragon. So I figured it was worth a shot. Maybe I need to attack another point. Maybe the..." But she was cut off by a swipe from the dragons tail. "Less talking, and more fighting guys." Lareo ordered. They all fired a beam of there powers at the dragon, but it put its claw in the way and it started spinning in circles without spinning its arm, deflecting the beams. It followed up by opening its mouth, and launching its teeth and they flew at them like missiles. They scattered in diffrent directions to dodge the many missiles. The dragon then replaced its teeth, pretty much reloading. The dragon then tried attacking them with its claws, and it seemed to be failing. But now Raylo and Ruleta were stuck together, and the dragon fired fire from flamethrowers in its palms. Lareo flew infront of them, and blocked the flames with his mirror shield. "Some help would be welcome!" Lareo called. "On it!" Raylo fired a lunar beam at one of the dragons eyes. It hit, and caused a small explosion. Smoke was coming from its eye.

"Attacking it just anywhere isnt working. We need to attack it in weaker areas like the eyes." Lareo ordered. "Right." The other two answered. The dragon let out another roar. The three of them fired beams of their powers at the dragon. The dragon countered by firing lava from its mouth. It destroyed the beams, and almost covered them in lava. They dodged by jumping in diffrent directions. It tried to slash at them with its steel claws, but Lareo fought it back with his sword. Sadly when Lareo got to tough for claw to sword, it blasted Lareo back with its flamethrower. Lareo landed on the ground, a little bit torched. "Ouch. Forgot about that." Then in the dragons thick but short wings, two rockets in each wing started up. It began to lift off the floor. Since wings wouldnt be strong enough to lift the robot dragon, it has jet wings. "Great. It can fly to?!" Ruleta said, ticked off. It began flying at them, though being so heavy it didnt fly to fast. Its claws switched out with rapid fire blasters, and it flew after them firing at them. "Raylo, in the air!" Lareo yelled, takeing to the sky with Raylo. They made a loop u-turn, and flew right at the dragon. It raised its claw blasters to fire at them. They deflected the lasers with their swords, and kept flying at it. It then fired two lasers from its eyes at them. The greater size of them blasted the pair out of the sky, but the damaged eye gave off alot of electricity after firing.

Ruleta then came down on the dragons neck with a flaming kick. The force of the move threw the dragon off balance. Then she fired a focused beam of fire at one of the jet rockets. It blew up, and caused the dragon to lose alot of air ability. She got off, and it crashed into a wall. Strangely the walls must of been reinforced, since the room didnt fall apart after the crash. The dragon replaced the rocket, but the wing had taken a great deal of damage. It got up, and turned around, facing the trio. It roared once more, and switched back to claws. It fired more missiles from the launchers on its shoulders. They destroyed them with their attacks though. It was seeing its attacks were beginning to fail, so it needed to change things up abit. It took to the air once more, firing lava from its mouth to keep them at bay. Once it stopped the lava attack, Lareo and Raylo, carrying Ruleta, flew after it. The dragons strange tail, which looked like a strange four clawed tail, one claw upwards downwards and to the left and right, opened and fired small beams from the claws and a large laser from the center. And on top of that, the missile launchers on its shoulders turned around and fired at them. "In coming!" Raylo yelled.

They fired at the lasers, but the missiles would be tougher. Raylo flew over one, and Ruleta scratched the missile. A few seconds later it blew up. Lareo flew over one as well, and slashed it with his sword. It blew up as well. But there were four more left. Lareo zoomed past Raylo and Ruleta, He flew over the missiles, and used shadow tentacles to push the missiles into each other. They all blew up, and the blast force hit the dragon a bit, almost sending it to the ground. The three then flew up to the dragon, and landed on its back. Ruleta blew up the jet rockets on the left wing with a charged fire beam, while Raylo stabbed the connecting parts for the right wing. The left wing was blasted apart, and the right was badly damaged. Lareo blasted the strange darkness off the back of the dragons neck with a sol beam, then stabbed the raw steel with his sword. It went through, slashing a few wires inside. The dragon crashed into the dark world generator, damaging it. The three were a bit hurt by the crash, but it was nothing they couldnt handle. The dragon got up, and faced them. It roared at them. It was badly broken apart. It opened its mouth, and began charging a large plasma beam. "Hit the deck!" Lareo yelled. And they all jumped to the sides, just dodging it. After the beam was fired, it had its mouth still open. The damage the robot had caused its jaw to lock up after the beam was fired, since the power of the beam drained the robot for a short time. Lareo and Raylo flew up to the mouth of the dragon, and both fired a large blast of lunar and sol energy down its throat. Ruleta had Raylos sword since he dropped it in the last dodge, and stabbed it in the dragons chest where its heart would be. The blade, fulled with enough lunar energy to get through the strange darkness, stabbed into a energy tank. It partly powered the dragon. The combination of these attacks was about to cause an explosion. They got away, and the explosion went off. It destroyed the generator and almost all of the dragon. Though the explosion destroyed all of its energy tanks, so it was down for the count. Without the generator the dark world around the temple faded away into nothing, and the seal around the sword was gone. Lareo quickly went to get the sword. "Got it!" He said. "Good now lets get..." But Ruleta was cut off by a beeping noise. The last red eye in the dragon was flashing. There was a tank inside the remains of the dragon, it looked almost like the dark detonator. It had a timer set for a minute and sixty seconds.

"Oh shoot! A self destruct countdown! We gotta get out of here!" Lareo exclaimed. They started running out the way they came. Back in the grave room, Lareo had a better idea. He took to the air, and grabbed Raylo and Ruleta, and started flying. He went intangible, and flew out of the temple. After they were out, he stopped being intangible and let Raylo fly holding Ruleta, and they all flew off. About a forth of a mile away, the bomb went off. And like with the tower, the blast range kept growing and growing. This blast range looked like a tear in space as well. It nearly engulfed them, but they got out of the range of the blast, and it soon stopped growing. "That was to close!" Ruleta exclamed. "Yeah....Well no time to waste. We got to get back to france as soon as we can." Lareo stated. And they all flew through the desert, heading to the sea.

End of Chapter.

Chapter Thirty Two: The Hunt for the Chaos Darken

About a few hours after the battle at the bomb tower, which made it morning now, everyone was trying to figure out there next move. It was about this time they noticed who they left on guard duty were gone. Zach looked around the living room. "Hey where is everyone? Werent they here last night when we got back?" Zach asked. "Im...not sure. I thought I checked for aura's last night...." Neon answered. Neon then closed his eyes, and checked for auras. "Nothing. They couldnt of been here last night. Their aura traces are old..." Neon said. "But I do sense two auras coming to the front door." Skylos said. Then the light sage came in, carrying Yisha in his arms. "I found her on the way to the cabin. She looks like she had a run in with Zalendor." He said. Musashi took her out of his arms as soon as he saw them. "What did he do to her?" Musashi asked. His voice wasnt in its normal tone it was in most of the time. "She must of went head to head with him. I also believe he's put her into some kind of sleep. Her head is filled with nightmares. I cant read anything going on in her mind. The nightmares may have that effect to keep people out of her head so nothing can be done perhaps. It seems harmless, but it may not be as it appears." The sage said. Musashi put her down on a couch. "So what should we do now? We took Lareo's lead, but here we are again. We dont have anything to go on." Halo asked. "Well let us think. But first, where's Draco?" The light sage asked. No one answered. "Dont tell me....You left him unguarded didnt you?" The sage asked. "No we didnt. We left him here with everyone that stayed at the cabin. But we couldnt find anyone here." Seth answered. "Hmm....I fear he's attacked everyone here. He must of taken the shard from Draco. This isnt promising....." The sage said. "Enough about that. What do we do now?..." Neon asked. "Well until Lareo returns with the sword, we cant take Zalendor head on, so we need to do something to weaken his numbers, and strengthen ours. By getting Rem back." The sage answered. "Alright then. How do we go about that?" Skylos asked. "Well something like what happened to Rem happened to one of Zalendor's men back during his first takeover. Zalendor tried to make one of his men more powerful, by fusing him with a darken. That made the first Chaos darken. But for some unknown reason, it turned on Zalendor, and aided us for a short time by giving us pieces of information. When the darken tried to kill Zalendor, a battle started. During the battle, Zalendor learned that the darken had less power over its host the weaker it got. Soon Zalendor freed the darkens host, though we dont know what became of the darken. Though it seems the darken is made into the opposite of what its host is, which is why Rem's darken is evil. But anyway, my point is that we might be able to free Rem the same way." The sage finished. "Alright then. So lets get on it. Where is he?" Zach asked. "Not sure yet. I'll look for his aura, then send you too him once I do." The sage answered.




At the same time, the darken rem wandered in a swamp past the mountains where E Link's base is. "What are we doing here?" "For some reason...I feel calmed here...I can clearly...think...Here we can plan...Our next move...Until master needs us..." "Ah. I see. Well what are you thinking we should do?" "We must....Attack before we...are attacked first...We must wait....for...the right time....to strike..." Sadly for the darken rem, the light sage already found where they were. "Alright. I've located where Rem is. He's in some swamp past the mountains. I'll send you nearby so you can get a sneak attack on him. Good luck." Then they all were covered in a white aura, and they soon vanished. They appeared in the swamp. Skylos groaned. "Ugh...Here I am dressed in white in a muddy swamp." "Oh cut it out. Your clothes will wash Caleb." Halo said. "Quiet people...I hear him. He's close..." Neon said. "I have and idea." Skylos said, as his hands glowed white. In seconds everyone became unseeable. "By refracting the light, I've made us appear invisible." He said. "Nice move. Now lets go." Zach said, kinda rushing things along. In moments everyone had surrounded the darken rem. "Hey, I get the feeling we arent alone." "Indeed...." Seth began to get closer, but then like lightning the darkens arm turned into tentacles, grabbed Halo's legs, and tossed her into Seth. The others were shocked for a second, then went in for attack. As they came, the darken dodged as needed, and hammered them with his arms, and lashed at them. In seconds he took them all down, though they werent out by a long shot. But Skylos couldnt keep them invisible for the time. The darken came close to Halo, and looked down at her. The darkness moved away from the darkens head, showing Rem's head. His eyes looked weird and evil, while pieces of darkness were still on his head. "Im I strong enough for you now?" Rem asked Halo in a morphed voice that sounded like Rem's and the darkens. "Rem, I..." Halo started, but Rem cut her off. "Silence! We will have none of your backtalk! You broke my heart, now im gonna break something of yours!" He said, and tried to slam Halo with both arms, which would feel as thick as stones. But then Musahsi tackled the darken rem away from Halo, and into a tree. "You arent venting your anger that way!" Musashi said. Darken rem roared, and tossed Musashi away, crashing into Zach. "Ugh! Get off me!" He yelled. "Heh heh. Sorry Zach." Musashi answered. Seth charged once more, with his sword drawn. Darken rem pulled out his sword from inside his body. The darkness was back around his head, giving him his darken head again. Darken rem went sword to sword with Seth, then hammered his free arm into his side. Seth was knocked into a tree. Darken rem tried to follow after Seth to keep attacking him, but Neon grabbed him by his legs with chains, and pulled him away from Seth. As he was dragged, darken rem clawed the chains and slashed them apart. Skylos light dashed and tried to blast him with a beam up close, though darken rem grabbed his arm and tossed him into Neon. Darken rem approached Neon and Skylos, but Zach and Halo were blasting him back with beams. "Man he sure loves to toss us around." Zach said.





"Everyone, pour it on!" Skylos yelled. He and Neon fired beams of their powers. Ponic shot one shadow blast after another. Musashi fired fire crescents from his sword. Seth put on his deku mask, and started shooting exploding seeds in a rapid fire fashion. And Zach and Halo kept firing beams. By now darken rem took a great deal of damage. Then it's body glowed, and a huge blast of strange darkness powered up by the power demon orb, blasted from his body. This hit everyone, and it hit them very hard. Mostly everyone was knocked out. Darken rem was breathing heavily, and looked at the others. "Now to...finish them..." It said. No trace of Rem's voice that time. He walked over to Halo, and picked her up by the neck. The darkness left Rem's head, and he was staring at her again. And still just as evil as earlier. "Im I good enough for you now? Huh! Im I better then when I was before for you?" He asked her in a morphed voice. "You...dont get it...do you Rem?" He coughed as she spoke. "That wasn't the reason, but you wont believe me..." She answered. "Silence! Im sick and tired of your lies! Thats all you have ever told me, lies! You may have meant them then, but they mean nothing now do they!? Just a bunch of empty words! And im sick of it!" He yelled. This was clearly Rem talking. But he'd probably never say it to Halo's face. The darken must of gave him the guts to say it. "Rem, I..." She started, but he cut her off again. "Save it!" Then the darkness went around his head again. "You crushed me, and now im gonna do the same to you!" And he tossed her into a tree with great force. So much force it smashed the tree, but swamp trees here weren't all that strong. He slowly walked closer to her. "Now...we finish her...Start up the...hyper mode...of the gauntlets..." "Wait what?! I dont want Halo or any of them dead! You said you were going to help me!" "I am....Old wounds cannot...heal...until the problem has...been removed...So they must go..." "What?! Thats not what I agreed to! Im not going to let you do this!" "Yes...you are!...Now start the...hyper mode!..." "You want hyper mode? I'll give you hyper mode!" And Rem's hands inside the darken started glowing, filling with aura energy. Then spikes came out of the gauntlets, shooting through the darkness skin. Then aura infused lightning started zapping the darkens hands. It roared in pain. "W-what are...you doing?!" "Taking my body back! You are no longer welcome!" Rem slowly gained control over the weakened arms of the darken, and dug its claws into the dark head. The aura was burning away the strange darkness around the head, as more of the body was getting weaker, and losing its hold on Rem's body. Soon the darken realized that he was fighting a pointless battle, he had no hold on Rem now. "That is....enough!" The darken said, as it took Rem out of its body, and tossed him into a tree. Rem's clothes were now black and white, which wasnt what they were before. The darken walked over to Halo, so he was now standing right next to her. She had no energy left to battle, and couldn't even move. "I will....finish...what Rem was...to weak to...do!" And he raised his claw, ready to tear her apart. But then a wave of aura sliced his hand and lower arm clean off. It turned around and faced Rem. It roared at him. Rem fired two aura beams, blasting lots of holes in its body. The darken then breathed out a beam of the strange darkness, but Rem blocked it all with his mirror shield. It morphed its only arm into a bunch of bladed tentacles, and sent them at Rem, trying to dice him apart. Rem sliced the tentacles with his sword with a aura infused blade as they came at him, then fired a wave of aura from his sword, slicing off the darken's other arm. Then he kept firing blasts of aura, over and over, until what was left of the darken was half of its body, in a piled heap on the ground.





It spoke to Rem in great pain. "W-why...Rem?...I was going....to help you....I could of....gotten you....anything you wanted...I could of helped...make you...happy...Unlike how you really...feel..." Rem was charging a large sphere of aura energy in his hand. "You know something? You might be right. But your cost for it, is to much for me." And Rem fired the aura sphere at the darkens remains. The size of the sphere was large enough, that it engulfed the darken, destroying it. It roared in agony as it was destroyed. "Probably right?..." Ponic said to himself. Everyone went around Rem, as he just stared down at the burning remains. Halo decided to speak up first, to break this creepy silence. "Rem...Thanks for saving me." She said, with a slight smile. Rem didnt look away from the ground. "Dont mention it..." Rem answered, with what seemed no emotion. "Rem are you alright?" She asked. "No...No im not...I need some time to think..." Rem said, putting away his sword and shield, and walked off. He noticed a strange colored black orb on his gauntlets. But he made no big deal of it. Rem made a portal, and left in it. The others all looked at each other, and Halo was just looking down. Soon Skylos teleported everyone back to the cabin. They did what they needed to do, now they needed rest and needed to find out what they needed to do next.





Sometime after the battle at the swamp took place, Zalendor appeared there. He looked around, then he picked up the aura of a few small hunks and pieces of strange darkness on the ground. His hand glowed purple, and pieces floated in the air in front of him. "I see you failed, and lost your host. Not surprising since you were greatly out numbered." "Indeed master...I was doing fine...And I would of...killed them all...But then Rem broke...free from my control...." "Yes yes, I understand. It was expected to happen at some point. But I came to ask if you want your chance at revenge at Rem and the rest of them." "You dont even...have to ask...Of course I do...I will make them...all pay...for this!..." "Excellent. Thats exactly what I wanted to hear. Then we must get to work right away." Zalendor said, teleporting away with the darken remains. Who knows what he had planed...

End of Chapter

Chapter Thirty Three: Battle aboard the S. S. Xana

Later that night at the factory, Zalendor was in the middle of some experiment with the darken remains. He left for a moment, and went to the super computer screen. "Xana. Whats the status on your interception?" He asked, over like a video phone or something like that. "Well. We are on course, and should intercept them any minute now." The polymorph answered. "Very good. Report back when the mission is done, or if anything goes wrong." "As you wish Zalendor." Xana answered, ending the call. Zalendor returned to his work.



Same time, over the sea somewhere, Lareo, Raylo, and Ruleta, were flying on their way back to france. Still a few hours away. "Dont you find it odd that we haven't been attacked yet?" Ruleta asked. "Quite. Usely Zalendor always has a backup plan. He's not one to count on just one plan to work without a hitch." Lareo answered. Then the three of them heard a roaring type of sound. But not like a beast, more the like roaring sound a plane or something makes. Then they saw something far off, cutting through the clouds. It was to far away to see clearly, but it was getting closer second by second. In about a moment, it was in plain sight. A huge ship! Kinda old looking, like a pirate ship or something. Looked to be made of wood, it was some type of metal, just painted to look like wood or something. On the huge sail it had, which was completely unneeded since the ship had 3 jet engines on the back, was the Xana symbol painted on it. "Well it looks like the back up plan has reared its ugly head." Raylo said. "Yep. Almost right on cue." Ruleta agreed. Lareo gave a good look at it. "Odd...He's sending Xana to do his work for him? Guess its a smart use of him, not that it will do him any good." Lareo thought. "Well it doesn't look like theres anyway around it. Fly on board, we need to get rid of them. If we dont, they will just follow us the whole way." Lareo said. The other two nodded.



In a room of the ship, which would be the captains room, the William polymorph looked on a targeting screen. It spoke to the darkens in the room. "Open fire!" It said in its morphed voice. On the front of the ship, many cannons came out, and began firring at them. They easily flew around them, but the closer they got the harder it was to dodge. Soon they broke off, and tried their luck at the side. The polymorph read on the scanners where they flew to. "Open the side ship cannons!" It ordered. The darkens typed on the controls, and the cannons came out on the side of the ship. They fired tons of blasts and lasers at them, forcing them to retreat. "There are to many cannons. Theres no way we can get through that." Raylo said. "Maybe you two cant, but I can!" Lareo stated, and took off for another run at the ship. They just fired again at him. He easily dodged the blasts for a while, until he got closer. Then he just went intangible, and they went right through him. Once close, he swung his claws, and waves of energy flew from them. It destroyed a few cannons, enough to leave an opening for Raylo and Ruleta to get through. The three then got aboard the deck. It was mostly clear, other then a few missile and rocket launchers mounted on the deck, run by darkens. On the upper deck, the polymorph came out from the captains room. "Destroy them my servants!" It said, in a commanding voice. A door below the upper deck, or on the main deck if you wish, opened. Many Xana monsters came out from below deck from that door. Darkens then came from behind, as well as sky form darkens and flying Xana monsters covered the air. They were trapped!



The three of them took a battle stance, though things looked bleak for them. The polymorph laughed evilly, as it awaited the death of the trio. "This might be it guys. Its been great fighting along side you both." Raylo said. "Please. Dont think for a second this is the end. These guys are nothing!" Lareo exclaimed. "Maybe, but we are badly outnumbered." Ruleta said. The polymorph looked down at them all, and said, "Well, this is your end. Any last words?" "Yeah we got a few. Your going down!" A voice said from high above. Then a liquid type slime came down on top of all the monsters, then two beams of fire came down. The beams hit the slime, which was highly flammable, and caught all the monsters on fire. It was destroying most of the monsters. The trio looked up, to see Mire and Flare. "Ha ha! You two showed up in the nick of time!" Lareo said. "Grrrrrr! Get them!" The polymorph yelled. More monsters came from below deck, while darkens readied the rocket launchers. They fired at Mire and Flare, but they did the same slime fire combo to destroy the rockets. "Ruleta, take out the missile launchers so Mire and Flare can fly at ease." Lareo ordered. "Yes sir!" And she went on the attack, taking out two at lightning fast speed. "Mire! Take care of the engines." Lareo ordered again. Mired nodded, and started flying to the back of the ship. Flare and Raylo started to take out the many monsters. Lareo jumped through the air, right at the polymorph. He reached out his hand, and shot a blue lightning at Lareo, blasting him to the ground. "Ugh...That smarts..." The polymorph yelled down. "This is the strongest of my polymorph's. I would not use any other form for something this important. Did you think this would be as simple as turning off a tower? I think you'll find this much harder." It said to Lareo, firing more lightning at him. Lareo blocked this lightning attack with his sword. "Heh. I was about to say the same." He said back. "Kill Him!" It yelled. Two darkens moved their missile launchers, and aimed them at Lareo. They both fired at him. Lareo jumped into the air, with the help of his wings. The missiles might of crashed into each other, but Lareo fired ghostly chains at both missiles. They wrapped around the missiles, he swung them around, and into the launchers, destroying them. He then flew at the polymorph. It fired lightning at him, but Lareo was to agile for the attack to land. Lareo was in close, and tried to use his claws to rip him apart. A large sword appeared in the polymorph's hand from black smoke, and swatted Lareo to the ground. The polymorph jumped from above, down at him. Lareo went intangible, and came out behind the polymorph. Lareo tried to stab him, but the polymorph used its super smoke ability to dodge the attack. It reformed, and smirked at Lareo. Hmm...Whell, this could take a while... Lareo thought.



Meanwhile at the back of the ship, Mire was flooding the engines with slime. "He he he. This is to easy. Soon this ship wont be doing any flying." He said chuckling. Soon some air form darkens, and flying Xana monsters found him, and began attack him. But then a storm of fire balls rained from above, striking them all. Flare flew down to where Mire was. "I thought you might need some cover." He said. Mire smirked, and kept working his magic on the engines. On the main deck, Raylo and Ruleta were finishing moping the floor with the monsters, and started going below deck to find the power generators powering the ship. Back on the upper deck, Lareo was still toe to toe with the polymorph. The polymorph worked Lareo to the side of the ship, then fired blue lightning at him, sending Lareo over the edge. "Ha ha ha!" It laughed, hearing the sounds of laser fire from the ship. To bad the polymorph overlooked the detail that Lareo is a phantom demon. He went intangible though the ship, and came out behind the polymorph. He shot ghostly chains at the polymorph, wrapping it up. He then took to the air, and started spinning it around. Then using the force of the spin, he flew out next to the ship, and tossed him into one of the ships cannons. Then to quickly follow up this move, he few to the cannon, and started sending bolts of electricity through the cannon. The overload of power caused the cannon to explode. All this power shorted out the polymorph, leaving it completely out of it. Lareo floated back up to the deck. "Heh heh...He who laughs last, laughs best. Now, on to business." And Lareo ran up to the main upper deck.




He blasted down the door to the captains room. The darkens running the controls all noticed him and charged at him. "Three moves." As the darkens jumped at him, he drew the Solar sword. and slashed at the darkens. He totaled three swings, and in seconds the darkens blew apart. "Hmm. Haven't lost a beat. Now for the controls." And he just started blasting and slashing the control panels. Soon, all the controls were destroyed. Then Lareo start speaking to the others telepathically. "Im all done here. Everyone else finished?" "Aye aye captain! Me and Ruleta are all done here." Raylo answered. "All finished taking out the flying monsters. Flare responded. Engines are all gunked up." Mire answered. "Excellent! Then lets meet up on the deck." Moments later they met up on the deck, and then took to the air, off for france. Once Xana's polymorph came to, he headed up the the deck, and saw them flying away. "Grrrrrraaaahhhhhh!" It screamed. It went back up to the control room, and contacted Zalendor. "Zalendor, the ship has been destroyed, and its going down, and those pests are getting away. I need you to send me more power!" Xana demanded. "Im sorry my dear Xana, but I have no intention of helping you out of this." He said back. "What!? What are you saying!? We had a deal!" Xana shouted. "Yes. Yes we did. But the deals off now. You've out lived your usefulness. Besides, a captain always goes down with his ship. Enjoy your long and painful trip back to the internet!" Zalendor said, terminating the call. "Grrrrraaaaaahhhhhh! You with pay for this!" In moments, the ship was overloading, and started to explode. After a few small explosions followed a very large explosion. After the last explosion, all that fell from the sky was the burning remains of the ship. Falling into the ocean.....

Chapter Thirty Four: Frontal Assault On the Factory

About the same time at the cabin, everyone was all rested and recovered from their battle with the darken rem. Everyone was in the living room. Well...Everyone but Rem. The others that were hiding at Mire's cave he returned. The light sage came to speak with them again. "I see everyone has assembled. But.....where is Rem?" He asked. Everyone looked at each other. Then Neon decided to speak up for the bunch of them. "We're not sure. After he destroyed the darken, he ran off. He seemed.....a mess inside..." He said. "Hmm....Well that's believable. Chaos darkens mess with the hosts emotions until their a big broken mess....." The light sage explained. "Do you think he'll join the up coming battle?" Zach asked. "Well I cant say for sure. I dont think he'll attack us, but its to unclear." He answered. "True. Anyway, the point of this meeting?" Skylos asked. "Yes I was getting to that. Well I have heard no word from Lareo as of yet. But I dont think we have much of a choice but to begin our attack." The sage said. Everyone had a shocked look on their face's, other then Neon, Saira, and Zuika. "B-but why? He hasnt gotten any weaker then before, and do you seem to recall how we got kicked around by him like three times already? What better chance do we have now?" Halo asked. "You have beaten the odds before. Why not this time? But the reason why is this." He took a note out of his robe. "Rem left me this. Its secret information on the rest of Zalendors plans. First off, Zalendor has almost finished a second dark detonator, and will set it off from the safety of the factory. Also Zalendor has a protective force field around the factory, cutting off all entries to protect his bomb. This bomb is planed to be finished by dawn, and with it he plans to take all of earth into his dark world. Did you notice the strange rip in space the last bomb made? That would lead whatever is inside it into his darkworld. This bomb will also be powered partly by Zalendor himself, giving the bomb the power to do that." The sage finished. "So your saying we have only tonight to stop this, or Zalendor will drag this world into his?" Skylos asked. "Thats exactly what it means." He answered. "Whats our plan of attack?" Ponic asked. "Im going to have Zuika look for some way into the factory. Without a way in, were doomed. After we have a way in, we all storm the factory. Simple as that, but doing it will not be as easy." The sage said. Everyone agreed on this plan, "But I wish for some of you to remain here. Yisha is unsafe here alone, and an attack here could prove deadly if the place is left alone." The sage asked. A few of them volunteered to stay behind. The light sage turned to give Zuika his orders, but he was already gone. "Hmm. Wasting no time I see. Very good. Everyone else, make sure you use this time to prepare for battle. We leave as soon as Zuika returns." He said. Everyone nodded, and left to get ready.


Meanwhile at the factory, Twilore walked into the main room of the place. "Sir. I believe they are almost ready to begin their attack. Are we prepared?" He said, looking up at Zalendor, who was on a throne made of metal on a platform held up my chains from the rafters. "Why yes of course. The trap as been set, and the second dark detonator is almost finished. Everything is going as planed. Lareo may have the solar sword, but it means nothing if the rest of his tiny army has already been crushed. Everything is ready. Now take your post. But dont go getting killed. I need more then just mindless slaves in my army." Zalendor finished. Twilore bowed. "Yes sir. I'll see to it." And he left the room. Behind Zalendor on the platform, was a very tall figure with glowing red eyes. Being as dark as it was in the room, the shape of the figure was impossible to make out. "Are we....ready?..." It asked. "Indeed. Take your place, and await your prey. You shall get what you want. We all will today." Zalendor answered. The figure nodded, then vanished from behind him. Outside, Zuika was flying around the outside of the factory. He noticed an opening in the force field. It was where the factory bridge ended. Zuika soon returned to the cabin. He spoke with the light sage for a moment. "And your sure their isnt another way inside?" The sage asked. Zuika nodded. "None. You know what this means, yes?" "Indeed. But we have no other option. He knows this. Prepare for battle Zuika." Zuika took off, and the sage met with the others again. "We have found a way in. But there is a problem. It is the only way in, and its in plain sight. Im sure you all know what this means." He said. Everyone nodded. "An open invitation." Skylos said. "We still have no other option. We must attack anyway..." Neon added. "Yes. But I felt like I should still ask you all anyway. Come then. He awaits us...." The light sage said. He made a portal, and walked through it. Everyone else coming also followed. Everyone appeared outside the factory. They looked at the portal through the force field, and then at each other. They all moved forward, looking around, waiting for something to appear. And sure enough, something did appear...


Right in front of the portal, was a portal in the ground. And Twilore appeared out of it. He looked at them all. "I see none of you are surprised. Cant blame you though...So who will be the first to die? How about the light and dark humans? Their power will make mine even more deadly...."He looked at Skylos and Neon, as if he knew them from elsewhere, and had a look in his eye saying he wanted to kill them. But even more so then everyone else of course. They all had to die. But it seemed to mean something more then just that with Skylos and Neon. Twilore drew both his white bladed sword, and his black bladed sword. "Careful everyone. Twilore is a powerful void demon, that builds off the powers of light and dark humans he absorbs. We must be careful." The light sage warned. "Careful will do you little good with me!" He fired a mixed beam of light and darkness, void, into the air. In a few seconds, it was raining void! Neon and Skylos quickly made a dome of void, using their powers together. Saria used the earth under Twilore, and smacked him away with it. But he caught himself midair. He then started firing void blasts at them, which if the others did not dodge would be fatal. Everyone dodged. Zach and Skylos and the light sage tried a frontal attack on him with fire and light, while Neon and Halo were in the air, trying a attack from the rear with darkness and ice. Twilore stopped the front attacks with an arm filled with light energy, and the rear attacks with the other arm filled with darkness. What Twilore didnt count on was a earth spike coming from below, with a large beam of shadow coming from above. The two attacks met with Twilore in the middle of them. Halo then blasted his dazed body back with a strong gust of wind. When he crashed a short distance away, Musashi and Seth quickly rushed over to attack him while he was down, but Twilore recovered in time to block sword blows with his own swords. Twilore was to quick to hit, but this kept him to busy to counter attack. Seth then quickly went into deku form, and blasted him with a explosive seed, while at the same time Zach blasted him with white hot fire. He sored into the air, where Skylos hammered him with a powerful light attack, sending back down. Neon and Ponic both wrapped him up with chains and tentacles, and spun him around, and sent him sailing into the force field. Halo then attacked with a strong bolt of lightning at him, which hit him. He fell to the ground. But much to everyone's surprise, he got right back up. He fired a gust of void wind, which forced everyone to dodge a very wide range attack. He then took to the air, and fired small but powerful beams from his swords, both of their respective power. Those that tried to get close, was blasted down. Musashi jumped high into the air, after Twilore.

Twilore was momentarily surprised he could jump that high. He blocked the blow from his big sword, with both of his small ones. Once he had the chance, he kicked Musashi down to the earth with both legs. Musashi landed with no pain, other then from the kicks. Twilore used blinding speed to fly over to a place across everyone, and he put both hands together. Before anyone had the chance to notice, Twilore fired a very very large beam of void from his hands. Saria quickly took everyone underground, deep enough for the beams range to not reach them. Once safe, she let everyone out. He thought he got them, so they all took him by surprise. They all fired attacks of their respective powers, and they all hammered him. He hit the ground, but still got up. *** Ugh...There are too many of them...They are over powering me....I cant handle this many foes at once..." Then there was a response in his thoughts. "Its fine. You've done well enough. Retreat into the portal for the next phase of the attack." Said Zalendors voice. Y-yes sir... Twilore stared at them all, creating a moment of silence. Then the second they didnt expect anything, Twilore made a light dash into the portal through the force field. "Drat! He got away!" Zach yelled. "No matter. We must follow him in. We are both going to the same place. Let us not waste time." The light sage said, healing everyone with a light mist. After they were all healed, they followed Twilore in the portal. ***


Meanwhile at the cabin, the reason some of the others stayed behind was coming forth. "I sense a lot of shadows moving this way." Keera told the others, saying something or things were coming. Everyone got what they needed, and headed out to battle. Once they were outside, they saw an army of darkens coming out of the forest. And like before, they came from all sides. "Does it seem like there are more then before?" Aqua asked. "And us in fewer number." Zuika said. "Well we cant let them beat us can we? The others need a home to come back to." Wrath said. "Well we better do something, cause there closing in on us." Keera said to them all. "Its too late. Were boxed in." Zuika stated. "We take them one at a time." Keera said. The others nodded. Someone must of miscounted. There are way more going to face Zalendor, then to protect the cabin. And things looked bleak in terms of numbers. Then two huge balls of aura energy came from the sky. By huge, I mean like ten to twenty feet wide. It thinned the numbers of Darkens in seconds. Rem then landed next to the others without missing a beat. "That help?" He asked. "Rem! And not a moment to soon." Keera said. "We need to keep them busy till backup arrives." Rem said. "We have backup coming?" Aqua asked. "Sooner or later." Rem answered. "Time for talking is over. Now we fight!" Zuika ordered, flying into the fray. "Wow....I dont think I've ever heard him give an order....Like he said, lets fight!" Rem said. The others also joined Zuika. Aqua and Wrath went with Zuika, while Rem and Keera covered the rear area of the cabin. After a while of fighting, almost forty minutes or so, and the darkens just kept coming and coming. They didnt seem to end. Some darkens got past the gang, and sneaked inside. They saw Yisha inside, looking like she had one nasty headache.
The darkens moved in for the kill, but then the three of them were shot by blasts of ice in the shape of bullets. Our favorite eye patch wearing samuari had entered the room. "I leave for a few weeks, and you all fall apart without me. Cant seem to get a break around here." The man named Masamune said. Now who forgot to invite him back to the party?

End of Chapter

(Note from writer: Im sorry to say, but I had made a mistake in my story. Mainly the way twilore is defeated. I had intended for him to be beaten at this point of the story, but I forgot. So instead I'll leave the chapters as they are, and add an alternate ending to this chapter when I have the time. Hope you'll read it once I write it )

(And now that I have written it, here it is for your enjoyment. its marked where it would start into and where it would end by three * marks. that way you can figure out where it goes.)

*** "Ugggghhhhh! Im so tired of you pests! Time to pull out all the stops!" Then Twilore started channeling his power. In moments, Twilore had transformed into his enfused form. The gang couldnt attack because of all the loose void flying all over the place. Once changed, he looked diffrent. And he was filled with power. He reached out his hand, and a huge beam of void shot from it. And he didnt even need a charge. Everyone quickly jumped out of the way of this attack. "Such a high level of power...." Neon commented. "Thats his enfused form. Its what made him a huge threat. Few beings can acheave a form like that." The light sage said. "Well we still have to fight him anyway!" Halo said. "Right. We cant let this stop us." Ponic agreed. Musashi didnt wait around for this speach of everyones, and dashed right into battle. "Musashi wait!" Skylos called to him. Musashi lept at Twilore, sword drawn. Twilore smirked, and took out the mighty twilight battle axe. He blocked Musashi's attack, and nearly chopped his sword in half, along with Musashi's head! He kicked Musashi down to the ground with force, leaving him knocked out. "Such weak attacks. Give this form a challange!" Twilore yelled, and fired huge beams of void down on them. Everyone was still manageing to dodge. But by now everyone was tiring out. "This isnt going to work, just attacking him. He's to powerful. He'll wear us out before we even get close to taking him down." Skylos said. "I agree. But how can we take him down quickly?" Ponic asked. "Your capture orbs. You plan to capture him, dont you Caleb?" The light sage asked, "Correct. We just need to lead him into a trap. Neon, if your reading my mind, you already know my plan." Skylos said. "Yes...Lets go with it..." Neon answered. Then Twilore spoke up. "I hope you were saying your prayers. Because your about to meet your maker!" And Twilore had a huge orb of light in one hand, and one of the same size of darkness in the other. He threw them both down, and they caused a huge explosion. Luckly Skylos and Neon kept them from touching. When the smoke cleared, Twilore landed. He stood near Neon, who was trying to get to his feet. Twilore looked at him. "Well dark human, are you ready to join with my power? Your energy will be of much use to me." He said. "Yes..." Neon answered. "Very good. You've chosen the quick and easy way out of this pointless battle." Twilore started, but then Neon said something. "Just....one more thing before you absorb me.....Look out behind you..." Skylos had already fired the capture orb before Neon even finished. But it never reached Twilore. He put his large battle axe behind him, blocked the orb, and knocked it away. Skylos looked a bit surprised. Twilore kicked Neon away, with a foot full of light. "What fool do you take me for? I know enough about you lot that you would never give in. You'd rather fight to the death for what you think is right. You think I'd fall for a trick like that!?" Twilore yelled. Then a huge burst of darkness came from his body, blasting everyone. Some were knocked out. Twilore walked over to the helpless Neon. "Whether or not you lied, you said I could have your power. So I might as well start with you. No last words. Real hero's go without a sound." And Twilore raised his axe, and was about to bring it down on Neon. Then something happened. The broken black square body of Draco flew at Twilore, and stuck to his body "W-what!? I cant move my body!" Twilore exclamed. Then Draco's voice was heard next from Twilore's mouth. "Q-quickly! I...dont know how long I can hold him...." Draco said. Skylos quickly got to his feet, and grabbed his capture orb off the ground. He shot it off his finger, and it flew at Twilore. It hit him, and sucked him inside the orb. "Nooooo!" Twilore yelled as he was sucked in.

Skylos quickly ran to Neon, and started healing him. "You ok?" Skylos asked him. "Im fine....Could be better..." Neon answered. The light sage was healing the others. Skylos then looked at the capture orb. "He let himself be captured with Twilore, to save us." He said. "Let us not waste his actions by letting the world be engulfed by Zalendor's world then. We must carry on." The light sage said. Everyone nodded and went into the portal in the force field. ***

Chapter Thirty Five: Giga. The Beast of Emotion.

The portal the others took didnt lead them to the other side of the forcefield. Where they were was a black, white, and gray desert. This was Zalendor's trap. "This isnt right. Where are we?" Halo asked. "Oh no. That wasnt a portal. That was a dimensional hole. It's taken us to the dark world." The light sage said. "Does that mean we cant get through to the factory?" Skylos asked. "Not necessarily. I mean Twilore had to have gotten back to his master somehow. There must be a least one way out. Come, we move. I have an aura trail. It leads to those ruined areas over there." The sage answered, and he started walking. The others followed. Meanwhile at the cabin, at about the time the others would reach the ruins in the darkworld, the darkens just kept coming and coming. Soon there would be to many to defeat. "Were gonna be over run soon." Masamune said. "We just need to hold out a little longer. Until..." Rem was then cut off by a roar. Alice had returned again, and she had reinforcements. Cat demons. Though I thought she was the last one....Regardless she had help, and they helped even the numbers out. "Excellent. Were back on the winning side." Rem said. "The others are gonna need your help Rem." Keera said. "Yes. But I want to make sure things will be ok here." Rem said back. "We have things under our control now. Go where you are needed." Zuika said, almost like an order. Rem looked at him for a moment, then nodded. He changed into a twilight wolf, and started heading to the factory. That might take some time since darkens covered almost everywhere on the way to the factory.

In the darkworld desert, the light sage and gang reached the area of the desert with destroyed ruins. "I can feel a rift in space near by...." The sage said. "Yeah...But doesnt this seem a little....to easy?" Musashi asked. Then a strange creature began to appear out of darkness. Standing at 12ft tall, its body was all black with red glowing eyes. It looked like it had a shell with gray spikes coming out of the back. A tail with eight spikes, four on the upside, four on the underside. For its size, it had short arms, with clawed hands. Had clawed feet as well. And a big jaw filled with sharp fangs. It roared at them all. "Ugh! You just had to say something didnt you!?" Zach yelled at Musashi. "This monster....Its aura....I've seen it before..." Skylos said. "As have I..." Neon added. The monster laughed in a beastly way. "Now that I have....you...You wount be getting....away this time..." It said. "Thats it! The way it talks. It's the darken that had Rem!" Halo yelled. The darken glared at them. I am a....simple darken...no more!....I am the beast.....of emotion....Giga!...And you all are...the first to die...by this form!..." And Giga breathed out green fire at them all. Everyone dodged. "This monster doesnt have Rem this time. So lets get him back!" Zach yelled, firing a beam of blue fire. Halo shot a beam of ice. Giga morphed both arms into arm cannons, one caught the fire, and the other one shot it back out at Halo's attack, overpowering it and blasting her back. Neon and Skylos tried a combination void attack. Giga countered by breathing out void at their beam. Both attacked ended in a tie. But Giga wasted no time for the smoke to clear. He went into his shell, and started spinning, then shot at them like a train. He plowed Neon and Skylos down. Then the sand under Giga started to slow him down, until he was caught in a whirlpool of sand. Saria stood near the sandpool. He light sage came next to her, and started bombarding Giga with light attacks. Once Giga had an opening, his arm morphed into tentacles, he shot them at the light sage and grabbed him with them. He quickly tossed him into Saria. Once Giga could get loose some, he leapt out of the sandpool, and knocked the sages into the sand with his tentacles. Seth and Musashi charged at Giga. Giga morphed one of his arms into a blade, and blocked Musashi's attack. Once Seth got close, Giga punched him down into the sand. Then using that free arm, he morphed it into a cannon and blasted Musashi with strange darkness. He went sailing. Ponic was in the air behind Giga, and blasted him with a large beam of shadow. It hit, but did little damage. Giga smirked, and fired the spikes off his back at Ponic. Ponic made a dome of shadow around him, but it couldnt hold back the force of the explosions from the spikes. Ponic was blasted out of the air. Once Giga turned around, Neon and Skylos blasted him with a beam of void. This time it hit, and half of his body was gone. But then Giga started to laugh. "How is he still standing?" Skylos asked. "And living...." Neon added. "Fools...." Was all Giga said. His body began to regenerate!

In seconds, it was like he was never hit by the void. "Now...let us continue...." Giga said. He jumped high into the air, went into his shell and started spinning, then started firing a purple smoke from the holes in the shell. Then along with it, he released green spores. Most everyone shielded in time, but Zach, Halo, and Seth breathed in some. The effects of the purple smoke poisoned them, and the spores put them to sleep. If this battle didnt end fast enough, they could lose three members of the team for good. Neon and Skylos kept trying void combos to keep him at bay. We need a plan people... Neon said telepathically to everyone. Skylos was the first to come up with something. I have an idea. He needs time to regenerate. So after me and Neon blast him, the rest of you attack him so he cant rengenrate. Skylos thought. Everyone liked the plan, and put it into action. Neon and Skylos kept firing void at him. Giga kept dodging attacks. Then Ponic managed to snag Gigas legs with shadow tentacles, and pulled him down. That gave the Pantech's a chance to blast him with void. Then Musashi fire crescents at Giga's reforming body. The sages got free and did the same. Ponic held him down, and Skylos blasted him with light. Giga's body then glowed black for a second, then he blew up. "Is he gone?" Skylos asked. "No....I still sense his aura..." Neon said. Giga, retreat. You have done your job. I will finish the rest of this. Zalendor spoke to Giga's mind. "Yes....Sir..." Giga was standing next to another dimensional hole. Everyone else saw him flee into it. "Lets heal the others, then lets move." Skylos said. Skylos healed them, and then they all headed to the dimensional hole. Meanwhile, Rem reached the dimensional hole on the outside of the forcefield. "Hmm...I guess this is my way in." Rem said to himself. He went into the hole, in an attempt to catch up with the others.



End of Chapter.

(Note from the writer: This was not how I wanted Giga to appear. How he appeared in the arc was how I wanted it. So just refer to that. For those that missed that, go to Giga's intro post in the intro posts section)

Chapter Thirty six: The Calm Before the Storm

Everyone came out of the dimensional hole, and were now on the factory bridge. They saw the only thing between them and inside was the gold and green krab that helped capture E Link in the first place. "Ok everyone. It just one monster. And its one of Xana's. This will be a piece of cake." Zack said. "I wouldnt be so sure. If its guarding the way in, it cant be a total pushover." Skylos said. "Whatever. Im going in." Zach rushed in, Halo and Seth behind him. "Wait Zach! Ugh." Skylos complained. The krab noticed Zach coming close, and fired lasers at him. Zach dodged them, jumped into the air, ready to end it with his sword. A blue forcefield went around the krab, and Zach bounced off it. "Ow! Whats with that?!" Zach yelled. "Let me try." Halo said. She fired two beams of ice at it, but then a red forcefield went up around it, stopping the attacks. A red light came from the krab, and it stopped on Seth. Two rocket launchers came out of the krab, and fired at him. "Oh shoot!" Seth changed into his warrior form, and shot waves from his sword at them. They were destroyed. He fired more at the krab, while Ponic fired shadows at it. The red forcefield went around it again, and stopped the attacks. Musashi came from above, and tried to smash it with his sword. The forcefield changed to blue, and blocked Musashi's attack. Skylos and Neon got together, and fired a mixed attack at the krab, void. The forcefield changed to red, and the void hit the forcefield head on. But the krab was never hit. The forcefield withstood the attack. Musashi, Seth, and Zach, all charged at the krab. They jumped up, and all went to slash the krab, Zach and Musashi mixed their powers with their swords. The forcefield turned blue, and it held against all their attacks, then blasted them with rockets up close. They were blasted back, but Ponic caught them using their shadows. "Wow that is one tough krab." Ponic said. "Indeed..." Neon agreed. "I've noticed something. Every time we try to attack, it makes a forcefield. But when its attacked by up close attacks like swords, it makes a blue shield. When we attack with powers, it puts up a red one." Skylos pointed out. "So if we attack it with one move, it makes a shield to defend against that attack. Think it can use both at once?" Halo asked? "Lets find out!" Musashi yelled. Skylos, Neon, Halo, and Ponic all attacked it with their powers. The krab defended with the red forcefield. Then Seth, Zach, and Musashi all charged at the krab, and all hit it at once. The krab put up its blue forcefield. Both forcefields were defending, but then the krabs back started sparking. This was where the shield generators were at, and they were overloading! Soon it exploded, and both forcefields died. Then all the attacks hit the krab. Since all these attacks were strong, the krab couldnt take it, and was destroyed. "Excellent." The light sage said. "Let's hope that the last of the servants..." Neon said. Then they all made there way to the entrance to the factory.



Once they were at the entry way, they all looked at each other, and then they went in. Once they went in, a spiderweb like gate went over the door. Trapped in. It was dark in the room. Then torches lit on the platform Zalendor was sitting on. "Welcome my guests to my new home. How did you like the darkworld?" Zalendor asked. "Dark and depressing. Not a place where you'd get many visitors." Ponic answered. "Heh heh. Then its just as it should be. Glad you all enjoyed it." Then he looked to the light sage. "Ah. Long time no see. I had hopped you would of died out by now." Zalendor said. "Sorry to disappoint you Zal." The sage answered. "E Link's memories show me that you never get your hands dirty anymore. Why now? You let these young kids handle all the other problems of the world." Zalendor asked. "I dont get my hands dirty anymore because we sages havent been needed for that for a long time. But im not fighting you today as a sage. I fight you as one of your old foes." The sage answered back. "Aww im special." Zalendor taunted. "You won't be joking around much longer....You will fall as countless others have to our combined power..." Neon said. "Thats right! You dont stand a chance against us all. Think of this as your last chance to give up." Skylos said. "Oh is that so? Some big talk from someone who dont like to fight at all. From a peace keeper. I was actually going to offer you all one last chance to join me. You all would have a grand place. At my side, as my most trusted servants." Zalendor said. "Not gonna happen big shot!" Musashi answered. "Hmm....I didnt think you'd accept. Oh well, it cant be helped. I guess I'll have to silence you, like all the rest. But as for the Pantech's, someone wants one more shot at you both. And I see no reason not to grant his wish." And Zalendor snapped his fingers. Under Skylos and Neon, dimensional holes opened under them, they fell in, and the holes closed once they fell through. "Caleb! Neon!" Halo yelled. The sages readied to attack. "Ah ah ah. The sages dont get to fight just yet." And strange darkness on the walls grabbed the light sage and Saria, and covered them in it like a spiders web. It paralyzed them, and left only their heads free, so they could watch. "Now who wants to be the first to die by the power of Chaos darkness?" Zalendor asked. Everyone glared at him.



Meanwhile, Skylos and Neon appeared in the darkworld. They found themselves on top of Lareo's tower. Above them was a large black empty space where the dark detonator used to be. Below them was a small amount of land, over a endless sea of chaos darkness. "I see you've arrived. Im glad." Said the voice of Twilore. He was floating over the large black empty space over the tower. "Im glad to see master Zalendor didnt keep you all to himself. And that he trusts me enough to finish you both." He added. "Twilore, dont you see that Zalendor is just using you? He doesnt care about you or your well being. He only wants what he wants." Skylos spoke up to him. "The lies of the race that took everything I had from me. And of the race that helped them. Zalendor is all I have left, and I will serve him till the day I die!" Twilore stated. "Then you wount be serving him for much longer...." Neon added. "You dare to mock me, and my power?! You will die first, dark human!" Twilore said. He drew both swords, and flew at them.



At about this time, Rem came out of the other dimensional hole, and was now on the factroy bridge. He saw the way inside was blocked off. But inside wasnt his target. His target was high above the factory. The darkworld 'cloud' where all this darkworld energy was coming from. He ran down about three forths of the bridge, and fired his clawshot at the roof. He pulled himself up to the roof. He ran to the very top of the roof, and was about to attack his target. But then he heard something else on the roof. "Heh heh heh....Hello Rem.....Its so nice....to see you...again..." Said the voice of Giga. Rem turned around like lightning. "Giga?! Your alive?" Rem asked in disbelef. "Why yes....Master Zalendor fixed my...body...And now it is self...susstaining now....Meaning I no longer need.....a host to be....smart....or strong...And I partly have you....to thank for that....With all the diffrent kinds of.....powers you have...I wouldnt of picked anyone....else to be my host....even if you killed me...." Giga answered. "So now what do you want from me?" Rem asked. "Your....head!..."Giga yelled, ready for battle.



End of Chapter.

Chapter Thirty Seven: The Enfused Ones

Ponic and Zach fired beams of their powers, making a fire shadow beam. Zalendor waved his hand, and a forcefield went around him, and his platform. Seth looked above the platform, and saw it hung by chains. Seth sent three waves, snapping three chains. The last one snapped on it's own. Zalendor fell to the floor, and the others followed. Seth and Musashi jumped below, and tried to strike Zalendor. Zalendor blocked with both the beam sword, and red bladed sword. He stomped on the ground, and chaos darkness bursted out of the ground, engulfing Seth and Musashi. Zach went in close, and tried to dice him apart. Halo bombarded him with lightning attacks. Zalendor held off Zach with one hand, then fired dark lighting from his other sword at Halo's lightning. They countered each other out. Zalendor then fired fire form the sword before Halo could move out of the way. She tried to stop it with ice, but the fire out powered the ice, and she was blasted away. Musashi jumped back, and Ponic came in behind him. He tried to lash at Zalendor with shadow tentacles. He countered by grabbing the tentacles, and Ponic in close with them. He then kicked Ponic in the face, a kick mixed with chaos darkness, and the kick knocked him away. Seth changed into deku form, and fired explosive seeds at Zalendor. Zalendor started up E Link's reflecter, and bounced them back at Seth. The sleeping powder inside put Seth to sleep. Zalendor tried to roast Seth with a beam of white fire. Musashi dashed over, picked him up, and jumped out of the way. Zalendor started charging energy within him. The others used this at their chance to attack, and used their attacks on him. But before these attacks reached him, he released the energy he charged up. Tons of large waves of white fire came from Zalendor's body. There were way to many to dodge them in time, and everyone was hit by these waves. Luckily Seth changed back to warrior form, otherwise he'd burn into nothing. "Ha ha ha! Come everyone. Im not even breaking a sweat yet." He taunted. Then he looked up through a hole through the roof. He saw Giga fighting Rem. "Ah, he came. Just as I thought." Then Zalendors darkforce mark glowed on his hand, then he snapped his fingers.

Up above, Rem's dark black orb activated. In seconds, chaos darkness covered Rem's body. He was once again the darken he used to be. Only in the powered up form. Everyone below yelled, "Rem!" But after the change, Rem looked at himself in fear. He couldnt believe this happened again. He couldnt even move. Giga walked over, and smacked him hard with his hand. He flew across the roof. Before Rem could crash, Giga appeared where he would crash, and punched him the other way. Then Giga appeared above him, and nailed him with a body slam. Once they hit the roof, Giga got off him. "Heh heh...Whats the matter?.....Cant fight back?....Well then....I might as well....end this..." And Giga picked him up, one hand was large enough to hold his whole body in his grip. He then tightened his grip, trying to crush him. Rem couldnt move. "Heh....So weak....You should be...happy im ending....your existence....We both know.....you have nothing left....to live....for..." Giga taunted. "S-silence!" Rem said. He morphed his arm into tendrils, fused with aura power, and slashed Giga's arm in many places. Giga roared in pain, letting Rem go. Rem slashed Giga in the chest with both clawed hands. Then he kicked Giga away with both feet. Aura was fused in all of Rem's attacks. Giga recovered, and shot his tentacles at Rem. Rem grabbed the tentacles once in range, tied them together, then pulled Giga in close with them. He then jumped up, and kicked Giga in the face. The aura mixed with Rem's attacks was breaking down the darken form. Rem then slashed Giga twice more, then sent him airborn with an uppercut. Rem then jumped up after him, slashed him twice more, then nailed him on the top of the head with a powerful kick. Giga crashed on the roof. Rem landed shortly after. Giga slowly got to his feet, but Rem left him no time to recover. He slashed Gigas chest, blow after blow, until a white glowing orb in Giga's body was seeable. Rem the thrusted his claws into it, then took them out. Giga roared in great pain, then, without a word, slowly fell with a thud. Rem's darken form faded, and returned to the orb. Rem looked at himself for a moment, then at Giga. "Now be quiet!" Rem said. He went back to the top of the roof, and fired an aura beam straight into the sky. It struck the source of the darkworld, and it weakened the effects of it. This also meant Zalendor's attacks would be much weaker then before.

Now that the field has been leveled, the gang had a much better chance at winning. Zach started the attack, firing waves of fire at Zalendor. Ponic tried to strike him with shadow tentacles. Zalendor canceled out Zachs attacks with Chaos darkness, and he slashed at on coming tentacles. What he didnt see coming was that Musashi and Seth came in from behind. Seth fired waves from his sword, while Musashi went for a large slash. Both attacks worked. "Gah!" He turned around, and blasted both of them back with Chaos darkness. Ponic got the upper hand, and grabbed him by the legs with shadow tentacles. He tossed him into a wall, while Zach used blue fire, and Halo used another jolt of lightning. He got hit by both of these attacks. Ponic grabbed him with tentacles again, trying to keep him from gaining an edge, and tossed him into the air. Halo caught him in a tornado, and struck him with lightning while inside of it. Seth fired waves from his sword, and Zach fired more blue fire at him. All these attacks converged on him at once. Then the tornado died down, and Zalendor fell with a thud. But then he forced himself back to his feet. My darkworld must be weakening. There cant be another reason for my sudden weakness. Time to step it up. "Ha ha. You all have proved more skilled then I thought. Guess its time to move on to level two!" He drank a whole bottle of yellow potion he took from Rem, and tossed it at them. It was filled with Chaos darkness. And when it hit the ground, it exploded, knocking the gang back a bit. Zalendor used this as a cover, and activated the twilight shard of transformation. His form then changed. His body was all white, except for his glowing red eyes, and a purple inverted triangle mark on his chest. Every few seconds, his whole body color changed to black. "Careful everyone! He's changed into the twilight shape shifter!" The light sage yelled down. Zalendor laughed. "And what a powerful form this is." He said.



Meanwhile in the darkworld, Neon had locked weapons with both of Twilore's swords. He was defending Skylos, who was down at the moment. Twilore then kicked Neon in the gut with a light kick. Neon recoiled back a bit, then Twilore stabbed him in the gut with both swords. Any closer together and the swords would of made void in Neon's gut. Neon fell to the ground. At the moment, Twilore was powered up, enfused with his void powers. His wings were much larger, and parts of his body were made of pure void. "Hmm? He's not dead? i'll finish him later. Now for you light human." Twilore said. Skylos looked worried. And for two reasons. One, Neon of course. And second was that he didnt think he could take Twilore alone. And with him even more powerful. This isnt good. He's to strong. I cant beat him at this level. Think Skylos think!......Thats it! If he can enfuse himself with his power, then maybe I can too. And Skylos focused all his power in his body, and tried to channel it like how he saw Twilore do it. And in a few seconds, he channeled his power. Twilore was right over him. "Say good bye!" Twilore said. He held the mighty twilight battle axe over his head, and then brought it down on Skylos. But then Skylos blocked with a large scythe that appeared in his hands. Skylos's body glowed all white, then a burst of light came from Skylos. It was blinding. Twilore teleported away from Skylos, and watched what he did. When the light cleared, Skylos looked diffrent now. A pair of large feathery white wings were on his back, and a white halo floated somewhat pointlessly above his head, only to show that he had changed into a Light Form. His eyes had changed, though. Well, only his pupils, actually. They were now pure white. Indeed, his hair also was now a snow white. Blue sunbursts decorated his robe. Twilore looked at him, once the light cleared. "I see you have increased your power as well. This will prove more fun then." Twilore said, as he flew at Skylos. Twilore swung his axe, and sent waves of void at Skylos. Skylos flew at Twilore, and fired waves of light at the void. This made the void uneven, and was no longer void. Skylos flew around the attacks, and went to strike Twilore with his scythe. Twilore blocked this attack with his axe, then kicked Skylos away with a kick fused with darkness. Twilore then fired many void blasts at Skylos. Skylos spun around his scythe, and deflected the void blasts away. Skylos then tossed a handful of his light prisms at Twilore. Twilore wasnt sure what this attack did, so he struck the prisms with his axe, which was what Skylos had hoped for. They exploded when they were hit. The explosions blasted Twilore back. Then Skylos got close, and fired beams of prism light at Twilore. The force of the attacks blasted Twilore to the ground. Skylos flew after him to attack with his scythe. Twilore wasnt gonna let him get close, and whipped up a void wind around him. Skylos stopped before he flew into it. Skylos then fired many light beams at the wind. This made the void unstable again, and Twilore had to stop the attack. He added more darkness to it to make it void again, then he stopped the attack. Skylos and Twilore then flew at each other again. But mid flight, Skylos used a light dash, and got behind Twilore. He blasted him up close, which hit and blasted him away. Twilore recovered, and fired a very large beam of void at Skylos. Skylos flew low to dodge, and tried to get behind them. Though Twilore noticed this, and let him get close. Once Skylos was in his range of attack, he stopped the void beam, and turned around and tried to slash Skylos with his axe. Skylos ducked, but then Twilore knocked him down with the flat side of the axe. He flew down after him, and went in for the kill. Skylos saw him coming, and started charging energy. Once Twilore was close enough, he discharged the energy, letting off a huge explosion of light. It blasted Twilore back into the air, then Skylos attacked with lightning, which also hit Twilore. He's to good. It better finish this up. Then Twilore started charging up for a huge attack. Skylos could sense the change in his power level, and had an idea. He tapped into Twilore's light half, and started draining energy from it. Once Twilore noticed this, he had to lower his darkness levels to match the decrese in light energy. This worked out well for Skylos, and when he had enough energy he cause light beams to strike Twilore from many diffrent places. All these attacks, plus with the fact that Twilore lowered his power levels, all knocked him out. He fell to the ground with a thud. Skylos landed seconds later.



"W-well light human....You won...Take my life to finish this battle..." Twilore said, all out of power to keep fighting. Skylos shook his head. "No, I wont kill you. Thats not how I look at it. I won, you lost. But im not going to kill you to prove it. Im not a killer." Skylos answered. "Now you mock me by keeping me alive? Or maybe you want me to live with the pain of this loss....I guess thats just as fitting..." Twilore said back. "No thats not it at all. Im just not a killer. I dont see the need for you to die." Skylos answered again. "Feh....Whatever....Not like I have the strength to protest anymore anyway...." Twilore soon passed out. Even though Skylos wouldnt kill him, he wasnt going to let him go and kill more. He took out a capture orb, and captured Twilore in it. Then Skylos felt a little light headded, and soon passed out. He powered down after he passed out.



End of Chapter.


(Note from writer: Please remember this fight between Twilore and Skylos isnt nearly as good as the one rped. So for those that wish to see it, you'd have to look for the better fight in the rp posts. I believe it starts on post #12535)

Chapter Thirty Eight: A fight with a shape shifter.


Zach, Musashi, and Seth led the attack on Zalendor. Zalendor smirked, and morphed his arms into blades. Smaller blades came out of his elbow's as well. He blocked attacks, as well as struck his attackers. Ponic and Halo tried to attack from above, but E Link's stolen swords were now floating on their own. They kept the air born ones busy. Zalendor then started spinning like a top, and moving his arms around in different ways. Blocking these attacks were hard, and Seth, Zach, and Musashi didnt dodge well, leaving them slashed. Then the blades turned red, and waves of fire were launched every few seconds. These were easier to dodge, but he was still hard to hit. Once he stopped spinning, he was catching his breath it seemed. His arms morphed into tentacles. Halo, Zach, and Seth all attacked him. Halo with lightning, Zach with white fire, and Seth with sword waves. Zalendor was hit by these attacks, but showed no pain, even if he took damage. Then he started spinning in place, the tentacles lashed those in range. Then he slowly started floating upwards. The tentacles now had blades on them. Then after a ways in the air, he started flying all over the place, while still spinning. Everyone was constantly moving to dodge this attack, but they were still hit many times anyway. "Guys, cover me." Halo said. Everyone spread out, and attacked Zalendor with different attacks. He went after them instead. The ones he attacked were badly hurt. Then Halo formed, and fired a large gold orb at Zalendor. Him being busy lashing Musashi at the moment didnt see the orb fly at him. When it hit him, he froze in time. Everyone then took this chance to charge up a powerful attack, then they all hit him at once. The force of the move was so powerful, he was blasted out of his time lock. He flew across the room, and crashed on the floor. He slowly got up, then spoke in a morphed voice. "Heh heh heh....Time to change the playing field..." He floated up into the air, and moved his arms out. Everything around them began to shift and morph. "Whats going on?!" Ponic asked in shock. "The darkworld is at it's most powerful inside the forcefield. Meaning I can morph this part of the world in any way I see fit!" Zalendor answered. He then disappeared before the morphing was finished. When the morphing was finished, it looked like the core of sector five. Only darker, and covered in webs. The large hole in the center was also covered by a large web. Everyone looked around, then looked up. They noticed a large gray and black spider on the ceiling. It had a purple triangle on its...abdomen. "I will kill all of you, even if I have to eat all of you to do it!" He said. Then bombs held to the roof by webs then fell down to the ground below, causing explosions around the gang. They were blasted about. Then Zalendor then started spitting wobs of webs mixed and fused with chaos darkness at them. Everyone was to busy dodging to think of a plan. Musashi jumped high up to attack Zalendor. Zalendor swatted Musashi away with one of his many arms, where he landed into a web on the wall. Zach saw him stuck to the wall, and got an idea. He started firing a large amount of fire blasts up to the webs on the roof. The webs started burring away, and the bombs went off on the roof, causing the rubble to fall below. Ponic destroyed these hunks of roof, so they didnt hurt anyone. The webs would soon be gone. "Hey! What about me?!" Musashi yelled. Zach smirked. "Oh sorry. How could I forget?" He fired a blast at the webs around Musashi, and he freed himself. Zalendor couldnt stop the fire, but he made beams come down at them from the flames. The gang dodged or protected themselves in the best way possible for each person. Soon the webs gave way, and Zalendor started falling to the floor below. As he fell, Seth jumped into the air, and slashed a few of Zalendors legs off, before being swatted away by one of them. He landed on the web over the hole below. Zalendor tried to slash them with his legs, which everyone dodged, while Zach and Musashi blocked the attacks. What Zalendor didnt notice was that the fire beams caught the webs on the floor on fire. Soon they burned away, and Zalendor was holding himself over the hole. Musashi then jumped on top of him, and hit him on the head with his sword. Musashi then jumped off, as Zalendor fell into the digital sea. Only this wasnt lyoko. Then a large beam of light shot from the sea. Everything started to morph again, and they appeared in a dark graveyard. Everyone looked around. Everything started shaking, and soon a large monster made of bones come from the earth. It had a purple inverted triangle on its forehead, and red glowing lights for eyes. Then a bunch of smaller ones started coming out after. "Im guessing we need to just keep hurting him till he stops changing." Ponic said. "Then lets get to it." Zach said, slashing a bone monster in two.

Meanwhile at the cabin, the darkens finally stopped coming. "Thank goodness..." Keera said. "Yes. But something's wrong with Yisha." Masamune pointed out. Keera checked her mind. "Shes under attack in her mind. And I think shes feeling all the pain that happening to her in her mind. We have to help her." Keera said. Zuika nodded. "Very well. You send me, Masamune and Aqua in to handle them. The rest of you stay here in case more darkens show up." Zuika ordered. Everyone nodded. "Alright, I'll try to send you three in." And after a few moments, Keera sent them in. Inside her mind a bone monster like the ones attacking the gang was leading an attack with darkens on Yishas mind. It turned around, and pointed at them. It said something that the others couldnt hear, then the darkens attacked them. Elsewhere, in the darkworld, Neon slowly came to. He took out a blue potion he swiped from Rem's room, and drank some of it. He got up, and saw a capture orb on the ground, and saw Skylos passed out near it. Neon walked over, and tried to wake him up. Once that didnt work, he gave Skylos some of the blue potion. He slowly woke up. "N-neon....Are you alright?" "Yeah, I'll live....I see you got Twilore." "Yes. He's stuck in the orb now." Skylos said, picking the orb up, and putting it away. "Now....how are we to get out of here?..." Neon asked. "Well we came through a dimensional hole. So maybe another one will open up." Skylos said. "Or maybe not....We'll find out..." Neon said back.

Back at the battle, everyone had taken care of the smaller bone monsters, and were now after Zalendor. There were strange devices on some of the rib bones of Zalendors body, and he fired chaos darkness like bullets out of a machine gun from the devices. Halo flew at him, but he swiped at her with a hand axe, which is still huge since its a small hand axe to the monster but big to anyone else. She dodged, but got hit by the flat side. She recovered midair, and fired beams of ice at the monsters arm. It was frozen, and couldnt move. Ponic then struck the frozen arm hard with a high power shadow beam. The arm was smashed to pieces. Zalendor tried to strike Halo with the other arm, but Ponic held it back with shadow tentacles. Halo landed, and fired lots of ice at the legs, freezing them solid. Then Musashi tossed his sword at the legs, covered in fire. The sword grew to twice its size, and smashed both legs apart with one attack. With no legs, Zalendor fell to the ground. Seth then jumped into the air, and stabbed Zalendor on the purple triangle on his head. A roar of pain was heard, then the skull exploded. The place started morphing again. They were on a very large round platform in the middle of the sea. Then crawling out of the water was a huge lobster like monster. Areas of the shell were made of metal armor. Two spots on the armor opened up, and started firing blasts of chaos darkness from cannons. Zach stopped the attack by making a dome of fire all around him. Once the darkness stopped firing, the fire dome went down. Musashi jumped high into the air, and tried to strike Zalendor on the back. But the shell was to hard. The cannons aimed at Musashi, and blasted him off. He crashed on the ground. Halo tried to attack him with ice, and Seth fired sword waves at Zalendor. These attacks bounced off of his shell. He tried to snap them in two with his pincers. Ponic lifted them up into the air with shadow tentacles. "Our attacks are bouncing off his shell. What can we use on him?" Ponic asked. Everyone started thinking, while dodging Zalendors attacks. Zach then had an idea. Then he yelled, "Hey guys, lets have roasted lobster." Everyone smirked. Ponic floated everyone into the air on their shadows. Zach fired beams of white fire at the ground near Zalendor, while Musashi fired fire crescents at Zalendor, and Halo struck him with lightning. Zalendor tried to stop their attacks by firing chaos darkness from the cannons on his back. But they dodged, and kept attacking. He was roasting. Then he roared, and just stopped moving. Everyone landed, and thought he was dead. But then he rolled up into a ball, put away the cannons, and tried to mow them down. Ponic got them all on a shadow disk, and tried to out fly him. But he was just as fast. Then Zach just started firing beams of fire at him. Halo and Musashi joined in. His shell was turning red, meaning he was cooking. He changed his target, rolled to the edge of the platform, uncurled and then crawled into the water. Seth noticed a purple triangle on his underside. "I got this." Seth said. He changed into Zora form, jumped off the shadow disk, and into the water after Zalendor. Zalendor was swimming backwards, as Seth swam at him. The cannons came back out, and fired at Seth. But Seth was more agile in the water in this form then Zalendor, so he dodged these moves easily. Zalendor tried to snap him in two once he was in range of a pincer attack. Seth swam through his pincers would getting hurt. Now he was swimming right under the mark. Seth jabbed it with his sharp fins, and slashed him as well. Zalendor roared, and then disappeared. Seth got back on land, and changed into warrior form. He joined the others just in time for everything to morph again.




Everyone found themselves on a stone platform in a quicksand sea. This platform wasnt as big as the last one. Then out of the sand arose a large rock monster. A golem if you will. He tried to crush them with his huge arm. Everyone jumped to the side. Everyone tried their attacks, but none of them worked. Then Zalendor breathed out lava at them! Everyone dodged this, while Zach tried to take over the flames from the lava, intensify them, and use them against Zalendor. The flames did nothing, and the lava soon faded away. Zalendor laughed, and tried to slash them with a stone bladed arm. Halo teleported everyone out of the range of the attack, then brought them back once the attack had passed. "Nothing hurts him in this form. What can we attack him with?" Zach asked. "I noticed he suffers the most pain when we hit that mark on his forehead. Lets use our attacks on that point." Ponic said. The others nodded. Ponic used a bunch of shadow blasts, Halo shot two bolts of electricity, Zach used two beams of white fire, Musashi fired a fire crescent, and Seth changed to deku form and shot explosive seeds. All these attacks hit that mark on his head, and he roared in pain. He slowly fell back into the sand, and sank into it. Then out of each compass direction, a sand worm was heading toward the platform. When they came close and jumped out of the sand, ready to eat them, Seth fired a few seeds at each, while Zach fired a huge wave of fire that hit them all at once. The worms blew up, as they were made of darkness. Then everyone felt the platform move up. Zalendor in golem form was lifting the platform, then threw it into the sky. As they flew up, everything started morphing again, feeling like they were in space. As everything reformed, it seemed like they were in the sky. Full of dark clouds and everything. Halo looked over the side, and saw they were on a huge tower, hundreds of miles into the sky it seemed. Then a roar was heard.

On the factory roof, Rem was still firing aura into the sky. Giga had crawled up behind him. "Really Rem....Why do you....keep fighting?....The love of your.....life has...left you...she has done nothing but....hurt you....she's never brought you....any happiness....and any she did bring you....she ripped away....how can you still...care for her?...Shes not worth fighting...for...She doent even care...you exzist.....and soon your friends will.....die....Then you wount even...have the thought...of having anyone left....Join us Rem.....you can have anything....you could ever....want.....Power....The love of...your life....Anything...you could ever want....and it can all....be yours....if you just stop....and join us...." Giga spoke to him. Rem looked lost in thought. As if he was actually thinking about this offer. He looked a little upset, then mad. Then he turned around, and aimed the beam of aura right at Giga, blasting him across the roof. "You've fooled me once Giga, and that could be my own fault. Even if some of what you say is true....I've had enough of you talking to me like this. Now be quiet!" Rem yelled, going back to attacking the source of the darkworld. "Gah.....ugh....." Giga just fell with a thud. This time completely drained of energy.

Back on the battle field, out of the dark clouds came a huge dragon like monster. It roared once more at the gang. "I think he's pulling out the stops on this one." Seth said. "Then we must do the same." Ponic added. Zalendor then breathed fire down at all of them. Zach stopped it, and redirected it back at Zalendor. This fire didnt harm him much. Halo took to the air, and flew at Zalendor. As she flew at him, she threw lightning bolts at him. Zalendor countered with dark lightning, then swatted away Halo with his tail. Musashi jumped into the air to catch her. Ponic lifted Seth and Zach up into the air with shadows. Zalendor breathed more fire, and Zach redirected it again. Seth made a bold jump at Zalendor, and stabbed him in the leg. Zalendor roared in pain, grabbed Seth, and threw him earthward. And thats not at the tower. Halo flew after him, and was able to catch him. Seth and Halo looked up to see Zalendor right above them. He had charged lightning in his tail, ready to strike them. Then Musashi crashed into Zalendors head, giving a mighty slash at his face, thanks to Ponic. Musashi then moved to the top of the head, and started stabbing him. Zalendor kept roaring in pain, then started spinning. The super strong gusts of wind, blew everyone away. Ponic caught everyone using their shadows so they didnt get blown away. Ponic got everyone back to the main tower. Then Zalendor appeared in plain sight. Everyone attacked at once, and the Zalendor was destroyed. Then they noticed the sky was full of Zalendor dragons. "You cant kill what you cant hit!" They all said at once. Then they all started flying around, firing attacks as they went. Everyone tried attacking them. But they only hit clones. Then Zach had an idea. He aura searched for Zalendor's aura. He found only one had an aura. But only Zach could keep track of which one was which. "Everyone. Give me some of your power!" Zach asked. Everyone complied. They all touched Zach, and gave him some of their power. Then Zach launched a full power fire beam at Zalendor. It hit him dead on, and he was momentarily stunned. Then Halo shot a full power bolt of lightning, Zach a beam of white fire. Ponic used shadows to toss Seth and Musashi at Zalendor, and they both stabbed him close to where the heart was. Zalendor roared in great pain. Then his body began to melt. Ponic brought Seth and Musashi back with shadows.



Then in the darkworld, a dimensional hole opened near Neon and Skylos. "Lets go!" Skylos said, and he went into the hole. Neon followed close behind. They were on the tower with everyone else. "Nice of you two to finally join us." Seth said with a smirk. "Better late then never right?" Skylos said, as he started to heal everyone with a light mist. Then the area started morphing again. But now they were on the factory bridge. But this was the real world. The force field around the factory was gone. The sages were now free, and they joined up with the others. They all looked across the bridge, to see a very tired Zalendor. He was back in human form. Skylos took out another capture orb. "You've lost Zalendor. This is your last chance to come quietly." Skylos said. Zalendor chuckled weakly. "And what? I get to live my life inside a snow globe? Forget it!" He paused, then spoke again. "Besides. Why surrender, when I still have my ace in the hole?" He asked, taking out the Twilight shards. All three of them!



End of Chapter.

Chapter Thirty Nine: The Form of the Darkforce

"Quick! Stop him!" The light sage yelled. Skylos and Musashi quickly dashed at Zalendor. Seth fired sword waves at him, and Halo threw lightning bolts at him. He knocked away the waves with his hands, then grabbed the lightning bolts and threw them at Skylos and Musashi, blasting them back. Neon appeared behind him, and Ponic came out of Zalendors shadow. They both tried to attack up close, but he dodged, and jabbed them both in their guts with two fingers each filled with chaos darkness. He dodged attacks shot at him from the sages. Once he was in the clear, he jabbed all three shards into his chest. Then there was a short pause. Then these black and red lines appeared on his skin. "Ah yes! I can feel the power beginning to flow. World savers, prepare to meet your end!" He said as he made a strange hand sign. A hand sign where the back of his left hand was seeable and facing the gang. The black inverted triangle on his left hand began to glow. Then an even stronger form of chaos darkness came from within the mark. And it slowly covered his body. He then started to morph, and started growing. In a few short moments he was super tall. Almost twice the size as the monster kollosus. His body was all black now. His right hand was huge, and had clear blue circles around his wrist. His left hand had huge claws on it. Long, blade like claws. The palms of each hand had a circle mark on each. His huge feet had three clawed toes, and one clawed on on the heels. He had gray spikes that looked rocks on his back. Also looked like a black smoke like substance came out of his back. Two horns came out of each side of his head, and went back toward behind him. Red hair on his head, and down to right past his neck. A nasty mouth filled with razor sharp fangs, red eyes, and a purple inverted triangle on his forehead. He then let out a loud roar. "Oh no....Its just as I feared...It's his darkforce form. He is at his strongest now. We are in for quite the fight." The light sage said. "Well lets not waste anymore time staring at him. Lets move!" Musashi said. "Soon you won't be moving for much longer." Zalendor spoke. He roared, then shot two beams of fire from his eyes. These were big beams.

Everyone dodged in their various ways. Everyone started flying up to Zalendor's head. Ponic lifted those that couldnt fly with shadows. Zalendor lifted his left arm, and swatted away everyone with his clawed hand. Halo tossed two lightning bolts at Zalendor, while Seth fired sword waves. They bounced right off his skin with no affect. He then breathed out a poisonous purple smoke on them all. Musashi started spinning his sword in circles, making it like a fan. Using wind power, he blew it back at Zalendor. It didn't affect him though. Then Musashi jumped up at Zalendor. Man Musashi jumps high. But Zalendor grabbed Musashi with clear blue tentacles that came out of his wrist of his right hand. Yes they came from the clear circles on his wrist. He used the tentacles to pull Musashi into his fist. He then crushed Musashi into the ground. He laid there for a few minutes, in a lot of pain. Neon, Skylos, and Ponic all flew at Zalendor, riding on darkness and shadows. Zalendor then launched some of the rock spikes off his back at them. They flew at them like missiles, and they were blown out of the sky like they were hit by missiles. Halo flew up at the triangle mark on Zalendor's head, and was going to stab her claws into it, filled with lightning. Then a dome of earth spikes went around the spot. "Heh heh heh....Not so fast!" Zalendor said. Then chaos darkness shot out of his skin, blasting Halo out of the sky. He then grabbed her, and tossed her with the clear tentacles from his wrist. Saria made a large mud pit under Zalendor, hoping his large weight would sink him faster. But Saria couldnt made a pit deep enough to sink him, but it was enough to trap him. She shot pillars of earth at Zalendor at his legs, trying to weaken him there so he might fall. It didnt work. He climbed out of the pit, and stepped on the ground hard. He sent a shockwave through the earth, right at Saria. It blasted her back, the force of the move. The light sage started shooting beams of light at Zalendor. This was level three light, and it had little affect on him. Zach flew up high using his flame board, and used level three fire on him in many places. It had little to no effect, just like the light. Zalendor raised both his arms, and the clear circles on his palms had spikes come out of them. Really big, long spikes. He shot them both at the light sage. The light sage dodged, but the force of them hitting the ground blasted him back a ways. The light sage then lifted everyone up on a light disk, and they all flew at Zalendor. They all fired there attacks all at once at him. Zalendor actually showed a good deal of pain. Then a bunch of cannons appeared on his chest, made out of chaos darkness. They all fired chaos darkness at them. They split up, and attacked them from many different angles. Then Zalendor roared. He set off many huge explosions all around him. They just appeared, no cause, in random areas around him. It would either hit them, or drive them off. And they did just that. Everyone regrouped in front of the factory. "Ugh Our attacks aren't affecting him. And he keeps blocking that weak point of his. What do we do now?" Ponic asked. "You can die!" Said Zalendor's voice. He opened his mouth, and started charging chaos darkness into his mouth. He was going to wipe them all out with one attack!

"Stop right there!" A voice yelled from the sky. Everyone looked into the sky. As did Zalendor, but he only looked away, so he stayed on his targets as well. Then a large ball of sol energy was fired into Zalendors mouth. It blew up inside, and he roared in pain, falling back a bit of a ways. Lareo was in the air, high above them all. "Lareo!" They all yelled. Well Skylos said Phantom master instead, but anyway. "Im glad you all didnt finish the party without me." He said. "Well we kinda needed you for that." The light sage said. "Well then lets get rolling. Cover me guys." Lareo said, as he flew at Zalendor. Darkens appeared on Zalendors shoulders, turned into sky form, and flew at Zalendor. Zach, Seth, and Halo took out the darkens. Then stray blasts and beams flew off of Zalendor's body, which everyone else took care of. Zalendor tried to stop him with his claws and tentacles, but he flew around them easily. He soon landed on his head, and tried to stab him with the solar sword. The spikes went around the mark, and protected himself from the attack. Then Zalendor swatted Lareo and the sword away. Both Lareo and the sword went in different directions. The sword flew over the factory."No!" Lareo yelled. As it flew over the factory, a claw was shot at it, and grabbed it. It was Rem's clawshot. Now Rem had the solar sword. "Rem, you fly up to Zalendor and finish the job. We'll cover you." Lareo said. Rem nodded. He started up his jet boots, and started flying as Lareo did before. Lareo flew along side him. The others stopped the attacks and darkens as they flew up. Lareo kept Zalendor's hands busy with sol energy attacks. Rem landed on Zalendors head. The spikes went up, and tentacles came out of his skin. Rem fused the solar sword with aura power, and slashed apart the tentacles. He then stabbed areas on his head around the spikes, which caused them to loosen. Rem quickly stabbed the sword into his head, and Zalendor roared in pain. Rem held on to the sword, so he wouldnt be shaken off, which Zalendor was trying to do. While the sword was stuck in his head, a large glowing white orb appeared on Zalendors chest. Closer inspection showed that E Link was inside the orb. "E Link!" Everyone yelled. "Now Caleb, Neon, and Ponic, pull that orb out of Zalendors chest!" Lareo yelled. They nodded. Ponic used shadow tentacles, Neon used chains, and Skylos used light threads. They all wrapped around the orb, and they tried to pull E Link out.

At this same time, E Link was deep in sleep. He was having a odd dream. He was floating in the middle of black nothingness, almost like space. "Whats going on?" E Link asked. "Do not fear. You are alright." A voice answered. "Who's there? Show yourself." E Link said. Then someone appeared. He looked a bit like a zombie. He was in a robe much like the kind the sages did. But on one side it was dark blue and trimmed in silver, and the other side black with small white stars and trimmed in hot pink. "I am the master sage, master over time and dimension." He said. "And why are you here?" E Link asked. "Im am here to speak to you. Your friends are risking their lives to save you." The master sage said. "W-what do you mean?..." E Link asked, a bit dazed. "Zalendor has taken you over, and has changed into the form of the dark force. You need to fight to get free, and help them." The master sage said. "But I was told I would be forced to become this monster. That I didnt have a choice in it." E Link answered. "You have been told wrong. Only one person can stop Zalendor at this time, and its you. You must stop this beast of chaos before he takes over everything." The master sage told him. "But how do I get free? And how do I stop him?"" E Link asked him. "Use your will. He is possessing your body. Use your stronger will to break free of his grasp. The others are helping to get you free, use your will and you will be free with their help. The rest will come to you." He answered. "Thank you master sage." E Link said. "Come to see me in the banishment realm once this crisis passes." The master sage added, as he faded from the dream.

At the battle, the white orb was nearly free from Zalendor's chest. Zalendor kept trying to attack them to make them stop. Lareo and the others covered Skylos, Neon, and Ponic. Soon the orb was ripped out, and Zalendor roared in pain. The orb hit the ground, and smashed, freeing E Link. Zalendor's mark glowed on his forehead, and an explosion of chaos darkness bursted from Zalendor's body. It blasted everyone back and out of the air. Everyone crashed around Zalendor. Rem and the sword were blasted away as well. They landed near E Link. Everyone slowly came to. Zalendor was firing many different chaos darkness attacks all over the place, as well as setting off the random explosions. "You may have freed E Link, but this form is self sustaining now. I can still destroy you all!" Zalendor said. E Link looked over to Rem. "Rem, give me the sword." He said. Rem nodded, and handed him the solar sword. E Link made his shadow board appear, and he got on it. He flew up to Zalendors head, dodging and destroying all in his way. He got on his head, he readied to stab his head. E Link's darkforce mark on his hand glowed, and he stabbed the mark on Zalendor's head. Zalendor roared in pain. Energy sent through the sword from E Link into Zalendor, and forced the twilight shards out of Zalendor's body. "No!" Zalendor yelled. E Link teleported back to the others, and they all watched the power drain out of Zalendor. Soon he was nothing but what looked like a body made of smoke. Two red lights served for eyes. It was down on one knee. "H-how?......How could you beat me? I had everything planed out perfectly. I had a plan for every possible turn this plan could take. It was foolproof! How could you defeat me!?" Zalendor said, getting short of breath. "I guess you didnt plan on us having a chance at all. But we fight for whats right, and we always find a way to win. We all have something to fight for, and thats what gives us the power to go on. Even if it looks hopeless. You've lost." E Link said, standing in front of him. "You world savers will pay for this! I will return....And I will extract my revenge! You all will pay for this!...." Zalendor said, as his smokey body faded away into nothing. Dieing apparently. "Well....we've won....." E Link said. Saria ran over to E Link and hugged him. "E Link your back! Im so glad your alright and safe." She said. "Im glad your safe to. Im glad your all safe." E Link said back. Rem looked around, and on the roof as well for a few moments. "Giga is gone too. Do you think he died with Zalendor?" Rem asked. "Who knows. But if he is alive and around, we'll make sure to get him." Ponic answered. "Well anyway, you all have done great works today. You all have stopped Zalendor from taking over again." The light sage said. "Please. Its all part of the job. It's what we do." Zach said. "Yes indeed....It was nothing...." Neon said. "Regardless you all have done a great job today....And look. The dark world is fading away from our world." The light sage said. "Makes you think what we take for granted I suppose." Halo said. "Indeed." Skylos added. "Well why dont we head back?" Rem asked. "Actually we need to stop somewhere else first. The banishment realm. We also need to fix Draco." E Link said, holding the twilight shards. "Very well then. Come on everyone. I'll lead the way." The light sage said, making a portal to the light ruins. Then Lareo heard a noise. "You all go on ahead. I'll be right there." Lareo said. Everyone nodded, as they headed into the portal. Lareo went inside the factory to find the source of the noise.

While Lareo's back was turned, a black smoke came from behind him. It quickly went into his body through his mouth and ears. Then Lareo's eyes became hazy looking. Soon he was possessed by the smoke. "No no no! I can believe this happened! My plan completely failed. And now I dont even have a body. I guess I'll just have to hide out in Lareo's mind until my body regenerates. Giga has probably already taken off for the Nexus point. But sadly Twilore has been captured....I will need to make a plan to get him back....Ugh this is awful...Lowered to this...Well I better give Lareo back control. They are waiting on him. But they will pay for this one day. I'll make them all pay...." Then Zalendor's voice stopped, and Lareo's eyes returned to normal. "Huh what? Oh I was looking for that noise. Must of been nothing. I better go join the others." And Lareo left the factory. Zalendor has been defeated for now, but he'll return. And thats when the gang will face him again. Other villains will appear to fill the void that is made when a villain is defeated, but they will also fall to the might of this gang. So what will happen to them next? We'll have to see to find out...
