//Okay so, I talked to a few people over MSN and I think we've got enough people to start this. This will pick up right after Chapter 10.

If you had any unfinished business for Chapter 10, come post it here. Later on, we can have some fun with the story; it'll likely become non-cannon (unofficial to the true story) by the end, if it gets to crazy.

Same rules as DAL, except we'll allow some comment only posts, but try and limit them a bit, I don't want people posting like three comment only posts in a row.\\


The vortex in the sky as disappeared, the sky is lightening, as the sun begins to rise. Yet the darker times are coming.

The Kandarinian Sovereignty and the Dark Empire have already begun to take over. Now that the opposition is gone, the world is in their clutches.

But is their hope? There is still the matter of the Aspyes. Many of them have died in battle. Geif has fallen, yet some areas are ready to fight for their freedom. The resistance has begun.


Two men were walking about in a small village know as Aterra. The place is built on a plain of grass in the mountains. They are loyal to the Aspyes and Haraldur's flag flies high in the middle of the village. It is surrounded by stonewalls, with guards armed with machineguns protecting the city.

Lately there has been some strange happenings going on...

"I'm telling you, I swear I saw a something here."

"And I'm telling YOU, that you're crazy! People don't walk around without heads! It's just not possible!"

"I swear! It was over here."

The two men walk towards the near by cave into the mountains, it was a former mine; yet the minerals have been exhausted. The place is usually left alone now.

"God, this is stupid. I'm telling you, you're just seeing things." He steps into the cave. "There is no headless man in-" Suddenly a scream of terror and pain in heard then silence...

Meanwhile in Asgarnia...

Several Kandarin warriors were sitting in the ruined town hall. The commander was discussing battle plans with his troops.

"Sir!" A Kandarin trooper entered the conference room. "Intelligence has reported several survivors have been straggling around."

"Probably just some villagers, let them be, they'll get killed on their own."

"But, sir reports say they are armed and may be magic users. We found the abomination burnt to a crisp."

"Well find them then! Kill them!"

[Dark Spartan]

//Yay, time to tie up some loose ends!\\

Dawn was soon to break over the city of Asgarnia, and with it, a new rule. Asgarnia, once a gleaming utopia of any man's dreams, now a ruined wasteland of destroyed buildings, devastated citizens, and tained water. The Kandarin Sovereignty had no idea of what happened underground. The Asgarnian Science Team and a certain ex-merc of twenty-seven were formulating a plan. Like a virus incubating inside its victim, it would strike when the time was right.

"Alex, come over here," motioned Kleiner. "I want to show you something."

"Oh? What is it?" Alex wondered what the old man had in store for him.

"Please forgive the unceremonious introduction," Kleiner said as he pulled on the handle of one of the sliding double doors in the lab. The interior was shrouded in darkness...that is, until Kleiner turned the light on. What Alex saw was unbelieveable.

"My God! You found the H.E.V. suit?" Alex exclaimed.

"Wrong," Kleiner replied. "Say hello to the P.C.S. Mk-II tactical system."

"P.C.S.?"

"Why, Personal Combat Suit, of course!" said Kleiner. "It's a far more advanced version of the H.E.V. suit previous to it. This system is far more focus on combat and tactical advantage. The science team had to pool all of their resources to produce this, so please, don't lose this one..."

"Wait-wait-wait. You're just going to give it to me?" Alex asked, astounded.

"After all you've done, Alex, I think you've earned it," answered Kleiner. "The new system is more heavily armored, so it'll be harder to destroy. The fusion process has also been streamlined, the fusion cycle should last nearly ten times longer than it did before. The resonance cascade has enticed the growth of the necessary metals needed to power the suit, so you should be relatively safe. The medical systems have also been greatly improved. The response time to an injury has been cut in half. Last, but not least, a feature that I believe you will come to enjoy."

Kleiner pressed a button on the wrist of the suit, and a razor-sharp sycthe extended out of the forearm.

"Nice," Alex said, clearly impressed.

"If you're ever in close combat, simply whip out this scythe and you'll rule the battle," Kleiner replied.

"Wow, Isaac, this is just...wow. I can't believe you'd trust such a lethal weapon to me."

"We can think of no better person to entrust it to. We ask just one thing in return. We would greatly appreciate it if you could help citizens of Asgarnia make their way out of the city before the Kandarin Sovereignty instates their rule over it," Kleiner proposed.

"So what you're saying is..."

"We want you to assist us in an uprising against Kandarin," Kleiner said.

Alex stared into the suit's reflective visor, and back at Kleiner.

"Isaac, you got yourself a rebel."

[Dude Man]

The Sovereignty had already begun building the place into a Kandarinian outpost. The town hall had been completely taken over; already they had connected the place with the Kandarin commutation system.

Meanwile Geif had already gone under similar changes.

The lieutenant commander at the Asgarnian town hall had communicated General Roland at Geif.

A ghostly figure of Roland appeared over the communications orb.

"What is it lieutenant?" Roland asked.

"General, reports say that a band of rebels are still in the area, we are unable to find them." He replied.

"Well, keep looking then, and stop wasting my time!" He about to break connection but then was struck with a hunch on who might be there. "Wait, weren't those two rebels dropped down around there. The ones that infiltrated the temple?"

"Why, yes. You think it could be them."

"Maybe. Keep looking for them. I'm coming over."

[D. Ein]

//I'm actually going to use this to develop the side story with Jacob and the three Kandarinians.\\

-"Yes, as you were saying... What was your name again?"

Jacob sighed, and thought that there wasn't even a need to insult this one's intelligence.

-"Jacob."

-"Last name?"

-"Don't have one."

-"I see... so that's Jacob, the Necromancer... alright then. Now if you just take a seat here. I have to go submit this form to the Allocation."

Jacob sat down at the bench he was directed to, next to Soghol, who was carefully studying his own reflection in a large silver lamp hanging under the ceiling. Jacob, however, looked right at the commander.

-"GAWD! Stop STARING at me, damnit!"

-"I'm not staring."

-"Yes you ARE!!!"

-"Am not."

-"Are TOO!"

-"Am not."

-"Are TOO!!"

-"Am not..."

They continued in the same key for about half an hour, up to the point when the COAP came back into the room.

-"So, I have these directions --"

-"Are TOO!"

-"-- and they want to --"

-"Am not."

-"-- put you in a house next --"

-"Are TOO!!!"

-"-- to the palace."

-"Am no- what? Why next to the palace?"

-"The council of twelve believes you will be of interest to the Marshal."

-"Interesting. What about that twit that was here earlier? The one with the crappy threats?"

-"Oh, that's Vorren. He's off to brief his troops on some major assignment they're going on next. Speaking of that, Soghol, don't you have somewhere else to be?"

-"GAWD!!! ALWAYS giving me directions, EH!?"

Soghol opened the door, and took one last look at Jacob.

-"Oh, and by the WAY... ARE TOO!!!"

...and he slammed the door before Jacob could reply.

[Dude Man]

Marshall was walking along through the damaged city. "It doesn't look like there is anyone Coriko. Maybe we should just head back to the house outside."

"Hey what was that?" Said a voice from several meters away.

Marshall looked shocked, as he heard another voice. He turned in the direction of it. He then saw two men in Kandarin armour armed with spear guns, they were on the other side of the row of buildings, they spotted each other through the space between two of the buildings.

"There they are! Get 'em!" One of the warriors shouted.

Marshall took out one of his guns and fired a blast of ice at them. The shot missed, one of the soldiers fired at Marshall the spear stuck in to the ground less then a foot away from him. Marshall fired again, striking one of the warriors that cried in pain, as the blast of ice began to freeze his body, he fired two more shots then warrior was frozen solid. The second fighter shot a spear at Marshall yet he jumped out of the way.

The warrior then ran off.

"He's going to get others!" Marshall cried. "We got to get him!" He then propped open the gun and placed a few bullets in it, loading it back up. "Let's go..."

[Coriko]

"I'm game, but let's make it interesting. First to take him down wins, what I don't know, but we'll figure that out later."

With that Coriko ducked down a side alley towards a ladder which he was eyeballing. Climbing up it as fast as he could. At the top he bolted accross the roof to the far side. He couldn't see marshall so he assumed he was ahead. Looking forward he saw the warrior running.

"He'll be there soon, gotta work fast."

Running back a few steps Coriko turned and bolted jumping the ledge for ther next roof.  He caught up to the soldier quickly after a couple more of these and summoned his bow. Pulling an arrow out of his quiver, about to make the kill shot, he saw marshall going right for the soldier. He decided he was going to distract him so marshall could make the kill. *Thwip* he fired an arrow right in front of the soldier, who in turn, stopped and starred at him. Figuring that this may be one of the last things the man saw, he would make it great. Standing to full height, Coriko put his hands on his hips and looked in the distance. The classic hero stance.

"Nice stance Jack-Ass. Who are the the masked avengar."

Coriko, surprised by this answer called back to him;

"To bad those had to be your last words. Don't forget to tell me what dying's like when you get the chance."

[Dude Man]

Marshall popped out the blue crystal and replaced it with the yellow one, and put the blue one back into the case, he took out the other magi-pistol and loaded the red crystal into it.

'May as well take the opportunity to try using them both at the same time.'

He dashed between the two buildings were he last saw the soldier run. He saw Coriko standing in front of it. The soldier laughed as Coriko made his comeback, he loaded a spear into his gun and aimed it at Coriko, who was oddly standing still.

Marshall then fired a shot at the spear gun, a fireball smashed the weapon from his hand severely damaging the spear gun and rendered it useless.

The Kandarin Warrior turned and saw Marshall. The warrior then drew his wrist blade and dashed towards Marshall.

He fired a shot from one gun and then from the other, the two enchanted bullets struck the warrior, and he fell down to the ground, lifeless...

Marshall sighed as he holstered his weapons. "So, then Coriko. Shall we head back to the 'safe house'?" He asked, putting his mind off the fight.

[Coriko]

Yeah, let's get out of the street, I don't want to risk another one of these soldiers finding us."

Coriko started walking forward with Marshall.

"So, whats your background. I mean how'd you come to join the asypes."

Not paying attention to where they were going, Coriko was shooken from his trance by the yelling of another one of these soldiers.

"There they are get them."

They had stumbled into one of those soldiers camp.

"Aw Crap!"

[Dude Man]

Marshall stared blankly, he'd just been innocently following Coriko, and he led them into a camp. He'd say something to him, but who's the bigger idiot, the idiot or the idiot who follows the idiot?

Several warriors aimed their spear guns at them.

"Drop your weapons and surrender now, and your lives will be spared." One solider said.

Marshall shrugged and grinned. "Heheh. Okay." He lifted up his guns so they could see them; he then dropped them on the ground. He then pointed to the air behind them. "Oh my god, what's that!?" He shouted quickly, as if trying to trick them.

"Do you really think we are THAT stupid." One solider said.

Marshall grinned, as suddenly his wyvern (see late chapter 10) swooped down at one of the soldiers, grabbing it and flying up in the air. The other soldiers aimed their guns at the wyvern and fired. Only one spear struck the creature, yet it wasn't enough to take it down.

Wile the wyvern distracted the warriors, Marshall picked up his guns and shot fireballs and lightning strikes at them, taking them to the ground.

"Sound the alarm!" One shouted from another spot in the camp.

[D. Ein]

The slain running soldier lay dead, with a rather large pool of blood forming around him. Some time passed as Coriko and Marshall went off.

With a strained groan, the soldier got up. There was a strange purple glow coming out of his eyes and his mouth...

He looked around, and headed off to the nearest soldier camp.

Inside were two officers. One was chewing on a rather large slab of bintmeat, while the other one was reading a book with a metal cover. The soldier knocked.

-"Hey, is that you, Lukas? We were expecting you a while ago, where were-"

The bintmeat-chewing one finally noticed the glow through the soldier's eyes. He made a warning noise in the general direction of the other officer, and both of them rushed down to the ground, kneeling and bowing.

-"Lord Marshal, we were not expecting you. Our deepest apologies."

The soldier sighed. His voice was a lot heavier and a lot deeper than what it was before.

-"It is good to check on your progress once in a while. This particular warrior was struck down by an Aspye. I was told that this town was cleansed of that... that... that  filth?"

-"We must have missed him, lord Marshal. We will report to lord Zjott immediately."

---

High General Zjott zu Helzer was sitting up in the half-ruined tower, looming above the city of Asgarnia. He glanced at the Kandarinian soldiers patroling the streets, noted that the citiznes were oddly not resisting as much as he expected them to. The assault was an overall success, and yet... and yet, something seemed amiss. Something that was right under his nose, he felt, but couldn't quite see what it was.

The door behind him creaked.

-"Lord General."

He immediately recognized the voice of a high ranking officer. He could tell even if he did not know who that person was - they had a certain presence in a room, much like he did himself.

-"Yes, Argo, I'm listening. What is it?"

-"Lord General, there have been reports of two armed men with beasts by them. Reports state that they have slain an unspecified number of Kandarinian soldiers, but we do not estimate the losses to be heavy. Less than 10, I am sure."

-"How cute... the city is trying to fight back."

He turned around in his chair, his expression of a soft smile rapidly changing into a scowl.

-"But you know how much I hate cute things. Find these... these ingrates, and bring them back alive."

Argo looked at the high general questioningly.

-"What if we encounter more resistance than expected, lord General?"

A subtle way of asking "what should I do if I screw up and kill him". Zjott's scowl vanished, and made way to his soft smile again.

-"In that case... Who knows? It's up to you."

-"Understood, lord General."

Argo strode out of the room, almost running. Zjott turned around, facing the window once more. There it was... a wyvern, by the looks of it, throwing around some poor fellow. Transfixed by the mesmerizing movements of the wyvern, he drifted off into a trance, lost in his own little world.

---

The patrols on the streets were greatly reinforced. Now, each patrol was containing two speargun soldiers, two lightning acolytes (basically, same thing as the speargun dudes, but lighter armour and heftier damage - with a lightning-based spell, obviously), and a shield-casting Adept, instead of just the two speargun soldiers. It seems that Argo decided not to put the entire city on the alert just yet - perhaps the threat was but a minor nuisance...

[Dude Man]

General Roland Ridgeway flew through the air, on the back of a blue wyvern, he summond. Asgarnia wasn't too far away.

Roland was thinking of that one young man, Marshall. He knew he was there. He may have been foolish, but his summoning powers were strong. In fact he noticed his skills in commanding his creatures and the speed he summons them at, were much better then when he was a member of the Blue Minotaur.

He was detirmened to kill him, and make him a minion of the Marshal (not Marshall). He is a threat to the Sovereignty. He knows a few of the secrets that the Minotaur knew, he may pass this on.

The crumbling walls of Agarnia were just below him. He lands his wyvern on the wall, and jumps off landing on the ground.

"Come on out mortal..."

----

Marshall, sensed something, he never actually sensed anything before in his life, but he had a gut feeling somebody dangerous is here.

He looked at Coriko. "Everyone knows we are here, now. We've got to leave." He then started running off. (Coriko told me he will be unable to post often, so we'll assume he's just following Marshall.) "Well, maybe we'll just be able to find a place to hide, I guess."

"When, my old home, the Blue Minotaur got taken over by zombies, I was able to escape by sneaking through an underground tunnel system we made. Maybe this place has got one of them sewage systems. I heard some of the richer towns have built in underground pipes that transfer wastes into the water."

[Dark Spartan]

Comfortable inside the P.C.S., Alex was soon briefed by Kleiner in front of a large corkboard with a map of the city mounted on it.

"Pay attention, Alex. We have confirmed reports of Kandarin soldiers here, here, and here," Kleiner said, pointing to three points on the map. "Now, I believe the most deadly weapon they carry is a high-power speargun. The new suit is heavily armored, but it can only take so much punishment. Then, you'll have to find a source of energy to recharge it."

"Recharge?"

"Why, of course. The suit no longer relies on physical armor to protect the user. Energy introduced into the armor allows the suit to bind the armor plating tighter. To recharge the suit, simply grab on to a compatible energy source, and the suit should do the rest. Most sources of energy are compatible with the armor, ranging from heat to Borderworld energy. Though, too much can overcharge the suit and make the armor so tightly bound that the suit becomes immobile. The joint grooves will flash when the correct amount of energy has been absorbed."

"Neat. So what's my mission?"

"Alex, your job is to locate the sources of insurgency at these three locations on the map, and then to render aid to them. If you can, try to lead the survivors back here."

"All the way back here?" Alex asked. "It's a good mile and a half through the tunnels."

"Yes, but we've managed to locate an entrance into the city that is relatively well-hidden. It's down that tunnel about fifty feet, and you'll see a ladder. Climb up that ladder and you'll be behind the general store, which is about in the center of the city. Be sure to stay on the look out for Kandarin guards, pits of stagnant water, as well as any xenofauna that may have migrated from the Borderworld during the incident. I believe your energy rifle will be the best suited weapon for this job."

"All right, will do," said Alex from behind a tinted visor.

"Best of luck to you," Kleiner said as Alex left the outpost for the city shortcut.

As Alex left the encampment, he came across a pool of clean water, unaffected by the radiation above. In its glassy surface, he saw his reflection. The suit was similar to its predecessor, but some notable changes were evident. The ebony armor across the suit was somewhat thicker for combat purposes, and the trademark grooves remained at the joints of the suit as well as up and down the limbs. However, the P.C.S. was less blocky in design. The suit's shape followed curved contours, with the elbow and knee guards ending with sharp points. On the left arm was the scythe that Kleiner had told him about, and on the right was a series of sharp, fin-like protrustions that could be driven into the ground should Alex ever loose traction. The long-jump module survived the transistion, and Kleiner noted this time a much more powerful kick would be delivered upon activation, at the expense of temporary disability to absorb shield energy and automatic medical systems.

What Alex liked the most about the suit was its appearance. It resembled the base of a metallic human being, with animalistic features such as the forearm claws on the right arm, the scythe on the left arm, and the sharped joint guards. It looked intimidating.

Alex had explicity advised Otis to stay behind, lest the little alien get injured out it in the field. He climbed up the ladder with relative ease, despite the obvious weight of the suit, perhaps it was cancelled out by some unmentioned device. Alex pushed up the manhole cover and slid it back. He pulled his armored frame up out from the underground into open air, and recovered the hole. The view of a ruined vista was still as shocking as he saw it the first time. He checked his bearings. He was indeed behind the general store, and could see some fighting going on a few hundred yards away. Some citizens had apparently armed themselves with whatever they had and were attempting to fight off the Kandarin guards. From the looks of things, the rebels were losing.

"Time for some hazard pay," Alex said to himself enthusiastically as he cocked his rifle.

[Trent]

//I'll go ahead and do this. I've not officially signed up the guys I'm introducing, but I will when the next chapter starts (And I hope it's a while off). :/

"..."

"..."

"...!" Zion's eyes shot open. Darkness. Darkness all around him. "Where am I?" He soon realized that he'd been restrained... Cuffs on his wrists and his ankles kept him bound to a wall behind him.

"Look, Zerobi..." A man emerged from the shadows. He had spiky brown hair similar to Xenai's, but spiked in a much more orderly manner. He had blood red eyes and light skin, and was sporting a tiered goatee. He looked a lot like a scientist, decked out in typical scientist apparel. "One of them has awoken."

"How splendid..." Another man emerged from the shadows, looking a lot like an inverted version of Tsu. He had grayish white hair styled in the exact same way, white eyes, and tan skin. He was wearing all black. A black cloak, a black opened button-up shirt, a black undershirt, black baggy pants, and a pair of black boots. "What do you intend to do with them, Dr. Genais?"

"In due time, good sir."
The man snapped his fingers, and the cuffs restraining Zion vanished, causing him to drop to the floor on his hands and knees. He got to his feet. "Who are you people?"
"Pardon me," said the scientist. "We've not properly introduced ourselves. I am Dr. Drake Genais, a genius in scientific and metaphysical warfare. And this..." He gestured to the other man. "...This is Zerobi no Anti."
"A-Anti?!"
"Yes, quite literally in the flesh. And you are Zion Ultima. And they..." The scientist's hand started to wander. It gestured off in the distance, where a spot light suddenly shone. "...are Xenai Omega..." He gestured to another wall. "...Tsu Nami..." And then another. "...and Aura Hikari."
"What the hell?! Where are we, and how the hell did you get us?!"
"I see no need to explain myself to you. I have an experiment to perform with you four." The man snapped his fingers one more, and the environment changed. They appeared to be in the ruins of Romme. The other three remained restrained, yet appeared to be in the air.
"What is this...?"
"A simulation, sir."
The dark-skinned man spoke up. "Is it time for me to do my thing yet?"
"Indeed it is. Go ahead and have your way with him. But do NOT kill him."
"Very well."

Zion braced himself, pulling out Eternity Weapon. But it was on much more quickly and more forcefully than he expected. Anti acted first, pointing his hand out. A flash of red glow surrounded his body, as if he charged a spell extremely fast. "Vehemence!"

Pillars of fire lashed out from under the ground at Zion, juggling him in the air. Whoa! Anti flew up at Zion, covering the 30 feet between them in a nanosecond. An extremely fast kick was shot up at his chin and sent him flying through the air. So fast... So powerful...

"GYAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!!!!" With a truly maniacal laugh, he pulled his arms back and threw them forward rapidly, sending out a flurry of energy blasts at his victim. Zion righted himself in the air and started deflecting them with Eternity Weapon. Anti suddenly vanished, appearing behind Zion, pulling his fist back. Energy blasts were still approaching.

Damn! What a pinch! Energy blasts coming in from the front, and a fist from the back! He's not just fast and strong... He's smart too! I know... Zion dropped out of the air, and Anti's punch passed harmlessly over his head. Being thrown off balance, he had no opportunity to right himself and defend against his own energy blasts. He got hit by them all.

Zion floated away from the large cloud of smoke the energy blasts made. Anti flared his aura menacingly, pushing the smoke away. It created a black sword in its right hand and flew down at Zion. A volley of slashes and blocks immediately started between the two. Anti sneaked in a kick to Zion's gut, though, and sent the warrior flying. It brought its left hand into the air, creating a large sphere of dark energy. Zion righted himself in the air and braced himself, but Anti grinned and vanished again. No...! Zion turned around just in time for Anti to slam the sphere down onto him. A large explosion.

Drake smirked. "No chance. I thought so."

Zion was slammed into the ground near Xenai, extremely injured by the last attack. He slowly got to his feet.

"I'd better free one of the others, then." Drake snapped his fingers once more, and Xenai dropped from the wall. He soon regained consciousness and got to his feet. He immediately saw Zion, and soon after saw Anti, cackling madly in the air.

"Zion, what th' hell's goin' on?"
"I'll tell you later, if I find out."

Anti's cackle suddenly halted. He vanished and appeared between the two warriors. He stepped back, and before the two warriors could react, shot forward, slamming his hands into their faces and clotheslining them... kinda. He flew forward, taking the two warriors with them, slamming them through all walls and obstacles in his way. Upon reaching the shoreline, he let go and threw them into the ocean. He lifted his hands and created another gargantuan sphere within seconds, flinging it into the ocean to pummel the two. The explosion created a huge crater in the simulated ocean, all the way down to the floor where Zion and Xenai lay, beaten and bludgeoned. "GYAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Weak! You're both incredibly weak!"

Xenai got to his feet. "Bastard... Don't like it... When people badmouth me."
Zion rose also. "Can't die here, not yet."

The two started to yell as the water started to fall back into place. Their wings appeared, and energy started to overflow their bodies. It leaked out into their auras, causing them to flare up. The water couldn't actually reach them... The energy they were emitting pushed it away, encasing them in a sphere of air. "Well, well, well. Weren't giving 100% before, were you?" Anti cackled some more, but it was immediately stopped when Zion shot out of the water at an incredible speed, indignantly uppercutting the astral demon, sending him straight up. Xenai shot out then too, straight upwards. Once he got above Anti, he turned a flip and brought an axe kick down on his head. Anti was slammed into the ground.

"Grrrrr....!!!!" Anti hopped off of the ground and onto its feet, looking over his adversaries. The two were now glowing all over, even their strange, translucent, ethereal-looking wings. Zion glowed white, and Xenai glowed black. "I hope you mean business now."

"Oh, trust me..."
"We're fuckin' serious now."
"Come down here and fight, then!"

Zion suddenly appeared in front of Anti, and started pushing him back with a fierce flurry of slashes. It was sudden, and Anti had no chance to defend himself. Zion halted and pointed his left hand out, sending out several energy blasts to push him back even more. Xenai suddenly flew in from the side with Zero Weapon, launching an assault of his own. The slashes weren't as fast, but with such a big sword, they hurt much more. Meanwhile, Zion charged up a spell.

"ARGH!" Anti caught one of the slashes.
"Urk-!" "I've had it with you!" He brought his fist back and furiously brought it into Xenai's gut, sending him far enough away from him.

"Consume all, flash of death!" "What?!" Anti directed his attention to Zion too late.

"Omni!"

The omni-directional gravitational field appeared around Anti and started to crush him. "AAARRRGGGHHH!! Bastard!" Xenai flew upward, extremely high into the sky. Meanwhile, Anti was starting to resist the spell. "No way..." Zion pushed harder to contain him, but it was rapidly draining his energy.

Xenai stopped in the air, shouting down at Anti. "This is the special edition of my favorite move! If this don't get you, I have no idea what will!"

"Super Omega Striker!"

Xenai shot down to the ground, instantly appearing there due to super speed teleportation, creating a sonic boom. His giant sword was held out in front of him as if he'd just slashed down through something, and he did. Anti screamed as he got shot through the ground in front of Xenai, and really deep into it. The ground crumbled and buried him. Zion released the spell and relaxed, though both remained in their powered-up state.

"Hmm..." Drake pondered the situation. "Interesting."

Zion and Xenai floated a good distance away from the ground as it exploded, giving air to rather unpleasant screeching. Anti was pissed. "You stupid sons of bitches! How could you inflict so much fucking damage on me?!"

A feminine voice. "Hey, you!" Drake turned to see that Tsu and Aura had woken up.
"Ah... I think you should try to help your friends, not that there's a lot that you can do."
"Screw you! Let us down!" Tsu shouted at him.
"Alright." A snap of his fingers, and the two dropped from the walls and onto their feet. They hit the ground running, dashing past the scientist.

Anti floated up, charging up a beam of energy in each hand. He flung his hands forward and unleashed them, revealing them to be much more powerful and larger than they appeared. They engulfed Zion and Xenai and shot them backwards.

Tsu flung his hand down, he and his girlfriend a safe distance away from Anti. His hand erupted with lightning. He held it out to Aura, both of their wings appearing. She struck the lightning in various places, starting to make it swirl.

Anti was too pissed to notice the two behind him. It was charging up a spell, glowing with red and black energy. "I'll finish you two off, for good!"

Aura grabbed Tsu's arm and started to spin, trying to give him as much momentum as she could. Her long skirt lifted, flying higher and flattening out more about the waist as she spun faster and faster.

Zion and Xenai stopped themselves in the air, and looked past Anti at the two. Xenai decided to taunt him. "Go ahead!" He spanked his own butt. "I know what spell that is, and it doesn't scare me!"

"Fine, then! That's it!" Aura released Tsu just in time, and with good aim.

"Vehement Damna-"
"Rasengan Chidori!!!"

Tsu tore right through Anti with the swirling electricity, sending the energy crackling violently through his body, inflicting massive damage on every inch of the body. "NO! I can't believe I fell for that move AGAIN!"

Tsu turned to face Anti as Zion and Xenai floated next to him. "You lose, pal," said Zion.
"No... No I don't." Anti's body repaired itself... coming back together, even after being torn right through!
"No way..." Tsu's eyes widened.
"Fuckin' hell..."

"Anti, that's enough!" He looked down at Drake.
"Did that guy just say 'Anti'?" asked Tsu.
"Drake, why are you ruining my fun?!"
"There are much more amusing warriors in the real world. Let's send these people back." He looked to Aura, then to Zion, Xenai, and Tsu. "You all fought extremely well. But you don't stand a chance.
