Chapter 16:His end has come!

A few days have passed by now and the kids were outside having some fun. Snow and Ellie were at the beach swimming with the fishes, Nexo, Arno and Dawn were playing tag around the town, Amber and Tony were on a date inside of the popular bakery in town, Viper was skateboarding around town, and Cloud was out training with Polaris and Violet.

"HYAHHHH!" POLARIS SCREAMED AS HE THREW A BARRAGE OF PUNCHES TOWARDS VIOLET.VIOLET DODGED ALL HIS ATTACKS AND GRABBED HIS ARM, SLAMMING HIM INTO THE GROUND OF THE TOURNAMENT STAGE.POLARIS SPUN AND QUICKLY GOT UP TO PUNCH VIOLET BUT VIOLET COUNTERED BY USING HER TELEKINESIS AND SPINNING POLARIS IN THE AIR.VIOLET RUSHED UP TO HIM AND GRABBED HIS ARM, SLAMMING HIM INTO THE GROUND AGAIN. IN ORDER FOR HIM NOT TO GET UP AGAIN VIOLET SAT ON TOP OF HIM AND PUT HER FIST IN FRONT OF POLARIS'S FACE SO HE WOULDN'T MAKE ANY MOVES.

"Haha. Dude, Violet really just dropped you twice."Cloud said laughing at Polaris and pointing at him on the floor.

"Oh yeah? Well let's see you go against someone with telekinesis abilities hot shot!" Polaris said with a cartoony expression on his face. Violet pouted and made her weight heavier, crushing Polaris a little bit more, making him scream in a cartoony voice. Violet got up and skipped her way by Cloud's side while humming some random song as they both turned to Polaris's direction and saw him get up and yell in a cartoony style.

"I'm so tired of you guys always thinking your better than me! You guys are always going pass your limits and leaving me in the dust! It's not fair!" Polaris said waving his arms in the air and screaming.Both Violet and Cloud giggled at Polaris causing him to stop screaming and give off a slight smirk which than lead to him giggling as well.

"Well, let's get out of here. I'm soooo hungry, I could probably eat like 3 horses!" Cloud said

"Ah! Maybe even a few cows as well."Polaris said looking at Cloud.Both the boys looked at eachother with a wide smile on they're faces along with drool running down their mouths.Violet looked at them with a blank expression on her face.

"You guys are always hungry after your training sessions, which is totally fine. But every time we go out to eat you guys pretty much devour the whole store! And even worse, it comes out of my pocket money!" Violet said pouting. "Honestly,you guys need to think about me too you know!"

"What can we say? We're growing boys!"Polaris said with his hands on the back of his head.

"Yeah, come on now. You know you love it when we mess with you Violet."

Violet slightly blushed and turned her head towards the exit where Cloud and Polaris were walking towards."F-Fine, I guess i'll put up with your guy's appetite for today."Violet said as she ran towards both of the boy's side. The trio walked out of the tournament stage and towards the town where songs were being sung and people were dancing to the sound of instruments.

"Man, we live in a really peaceful area. Not one drop of negativity in this town at all." Polaris said smiling with his hands still on the back of his head

"Right? It's like wherever you go, you could just be totally relaxed."Cloud said

The trio walked towards a restaurant called The Meatlapeno Spree, where they sold all different kinds of spicy meals made out of various amount of meats.Just as they got closer to the restaurant, Viper rolled up to them on his skateboard and crashed into Cloud's back.

"Wahhh!"Cloud said as he fell onto the floor with Viper right next to him. Viper patted his head and grunted at the same time as he stood up slowly.

"Man, that hurt. A skateboard really isn't my type of transportation at all.If anything I started to get a little bit nauseous on my way down."

"Viper, Get off of me!" Cloud said as he punched Viper sending him into the air with a cartoony expression.

"Waahhh!"Viper said as he came back down crashing onto the floor. "What the hell are you doing man?! A dude can't skateboard in peace around here or something?"

"You can skate,just don't be crashing into me!

"Hmm, you talk as if you think it's so easy You try going down a steep hill super fast going while getting nauseous 'm going to go back to the house to put this skateboard back anyway. Hey Polaris, Hey Violet."Viper said as he walked away waving with his left hand and carrying his skateboard in his other hand.

"Man that dude is annoying. Hilarious, but annoying."Cloud said with his left arm on the back of his head. Violet and Polaris giggled at Cloud who Tony walk out of The Meatlapeno Spree's entrance, where they were holding hands very softly.

"Oh, hey guys."Tony said looking at the trio.

"Yo! It's the big homie Tony!" Polaris said high fiving Tony and gripping his hand.

"Hey Violet! What's up?"Amber said as she approached Violet and gave her a friendly hug.Violet hugged her back and they both started to giggle.

"Nothing much, I've been coming out here almost every day lately though! It's a very beautiful town, but what were you doing out here?"

"Well Tony and I were just on a little...outing you could say."

"Oh, that sounds fun.Where you guys heading to now?"

"We were just about to go home for right now, we're sooo stuffed!"Amber said with her hands up in the air! Amber looked at Cloud and slapped him on hid head.

"Oww! What the hell is with you guys today? First it was Viper and now you?"

"I had to make sure I wasn't imagining things.THE Cloud Lightning is actually smiling for once in a lifetime. It's a miracle!"

"I smile all the time!"

"Yeah yeah whatever. Come on Tony let's go home."Amber said walking off, grabbing Tony's hand and running off.Tony looked behind him and waved back at Polaris and Cloud for a goodbye.

"Okay, now that all the crazies are away, let's go finally eat". Cloud said with a sigh of relief and a cartoony expression on his face.The trio walked into the restaurant and finally sat down to order their food.

Meanwhile back in an secret hideout,

A wild Caby appeared into the throne room, and kneeled in front of Lord Darkness's presence. "my lord, we have all the preparations set up, the only problem is I'm not sure how we are going to find an army to raid the town."

"My young apprentice...we are not going to find an army, we are going to create an army."

Caby looked at up at Lord Darkness with a confused look on his face. "But my Lord, Do we have enough negative energy to create such an army."

"Tion has done an excellent job on collecting darkness and despair over the years, especially when he raided The Dragon's Den a while back. As well as Moonlight who I've been sending on side missions to burn down villages and other towns. We have more dark energy that I have ever gained before in my lifetime and for that, you have my gratitude. Speaking of which, I need you to go get and Moonlight and Tion and bring them here to explain the plan."

"As you wish Lord Darkness." Caby said as he stood up and walked out of the throne room.Caby walked to another part of the cave where he entered a training room that was surrounded by the tight cave walls, where he also saw both Moonlight and Tion sitting down on the rocks with their eyes closed.Caby walked towards the center of the training room and bowed at them where he was able to get their attention. "Lord Darkness wishes to speak with all of us at once. He wants to go over the plans to take over Brunswick Villa."

"If you insist."Moonlight said as he got up and walked passed Caby. Just as Moonlight got up Tion had gotten up and done the same however unlike Moonlight who had just walked past Caby, Tion stopped right next to Caby and whispered in his ear.

"I need to know something Caby."

"What is it that you need to know?"

"That boy with the brown hair from a long time ago, is he with this man Edward Spear?"

"From what I sensed in that area, I was able to feel a dragon slayer's presence however I am not entirely sure if it's the same young dragon slayer that slayed De and Struc some time ago."

"Is that so? Well even if it isn't him, than it will still be the death of another dragon slayer by my hand."Tion said as he walked past Caby and headed towards the throne room with Moonligh.Caby sighed and walked right behind Moonlight and Tion where they all reached the throne room of the cave and kneeled down before Lord Darkness.

"Ahhh, my young soldiers. Our time has finally come to finally act on this plan which took years for us to complete." Darkness came down from his throne and opened his right hand out where he showed a virtual projection of how they will carryout their plan. Moonligh, Caby, and Tion looked up and saw the town in a 3D projection along with Edward's house. "First things first, none of you are strong enough to slay Edward Spear, so I will give you some of my energy." Darkness said as he put his palm out and shot dark purple energy towards Caby and Moonlight. Both of their auras were summoned as they went from a clear aura, to a dark purple aura. They both screamed as they were being infected by the dark energy pulsing through their veins.Just than the auras faded and the two were now back to normal but were struggling to breathe. "There, now all you boys are filled with dark energy.You are now...invincible. Now, it's my turn." Darkness said as he took a few steps back and put his arms up to the side.Darkness screamed as his body and palms started to glow and hundreds of dark auras started to spawn all over the cave.Dark people emerged from the dark black and purple auras all around the cave and Darkness finally had enough as he stumbled all over the cave but regained his balance. "MY CHILDREN! YOU HAVE BEEN ASLEEP FOR YEARS, AND NOW YOU HAVE FINALLY AWAKENED!" Darkness said laughing.The goons grumbled and cheered at Lord Darkness's presence. "AND NOW, YOU WILL ALL OBEY ME! WE ARE GOING TO END ONE OF THE MEN WHO IMPRISONED US AND SLAYED OUR KIND! AND NOBODY IS GOING TO GET IN OUR WAY THIS TIME, NOT EVEN LEGEND HIMSELF! NOW THAN, LET'S EXPLAIN WHAT WE ARE GOING TO DO FIRST." Darkness said laughing.

Back to Brunswick Villa.

Dawn,Nexo, and Arno's game of tag brought them to where the beach was located at as Nexo was running away from Dawn who was it. Dawn zoomed closer to Nexo as she was just about to touch him, however Nexo activated his Voidwalker transformation which made him able to use one his abilities named Blink, which allowed him to teleport a short distance ahead of him followed up by his jumping. Nexo's blink activity was able to counter Dawn's speed as she flew right over Nexo and crashed directly into Ellie, knocking her onto the floor.

"Ahh. What the hell? Did I just get hit by an asteroid or something?"Ellie said with her eyes spiraling and imaginary sheep floating around in a loop around her head. Dawn got lifted her head and nervously chuckled as she put her right hand on top of her head.Arno,Nexo, and Snow walked right around them and they all laughed when they saw Ellie on the floor. Ellie laughed along with them and sat up.

"Are you okay Ellie?"Arno said as he reached his hand out to pick Ellie up.

"Yeah, I'm fine. I just have one question,Just why are there two of you?"Ellie said jokingly as she grabbed Arno's hand and got up from the ground. "Well, I guess if we're all here than we should all play together.Dawn ran into me which means... tag your it!" Ellie said as she shoved Arno and ran away.All the kids screamed and they all ran from Arno as well.Arno smiled and ran to the closest person near him.

Meanwhile back in the Legend house

Edward was in the dojo meditating with his brown robe on where he was all of a sudden interrupted by Viper who walked into the dojo with his normal clothes on. "Viper, this is the dojo. If you need something you must wear your robe and take your shoes off please."Edward said with his eyes closed

"Yes, I'm sorry Edward."

Edward sighed. "Your here anyway so what is it that you need?"

Viper looked down onto the mattress floor of the dojo. "Well, we're all worried about you. You haven't left this room at all in the past few days, not even to use the bathroom."

"Viper...When the time comes you will all find out the truth about the world, no... the universe. It will not be an easy journey but it will be an easy life straight after."

"Wh-what does that even mean."

"We're home." Amber and Tony yelled as they walked through the front door.

"Please leave now Viper."

Viper turned away and walked towards the living room to see Amber and Tony laying down on the couch with the television on.Tony looked at Viper with an concerned expression on his face. "Dude, don't worry about him. He's an old, strong man, he could take care of himself."

"Yeah your right. Maybe i'm over reacting."

"Yeah come on Viper! It's not kike you to worry so much! Your the funny one in the group you shouldn't be acting so serious." Amber said

"Yeah sorry, hehe."

JUST THAN THE THREE FELT A SLIGHT STING IN THE ENERGY AROUND THEM. AMBER, TONY, AND VIPER SHOT UP AND JUMPED AT THE LAST SECOND WHERE A GIANT ROCK CAME FLYING AND DESTROYING THE LIVING ROOM. AMBER, TONY, AND VIPER FLEW OUT OF THE TOP OF THE HOUSE AND LOOKED ALL  AROUND TO SEE WHERE THE GIANT BOULDER HAD CAME FROM BUT WHAT THEY SAW SHOOK THEM TO THE VERY CORE. THEY SAW HUNDREDS OF BLACK SILHOUETTES SPAWNING ALL AROUND THE TOWN, FOREST, AND BEACH.

"OH NO, THIS IS NOT GOOD!" TONY SAID WITH HIS EYES WIDE OPEN.

"THEIR GOING TO DESTROY THE TOWN! WE HAVE TO GO HELP THE CITIZENS!" AMBER SAID. JUST THAN A BLACK SILHOUETTE JUMPED UP AND ATTACKED AMBER WHILE SHE WAS IN THE AIR AND TRIED TO DRAGO HER ONTO THE GROUND BUT TONY TURNED AROUND AND ACTIVATED HIS KAGUNE AND PIERCED THROUGH THE SILHOUETTE'S STOMACH MAKING IT SCREAM.JUST THAN THE BLACK SILHOUETTE TRANSFORMED INTO DUST AND THAN IT SUDDENLY VANISHED INTO THIN AIR.

"THANKS."AMBER SAID. TONY NODDED HIS HEAD AND LOOKED AROUNDTO SEE THAT THERE WHERE MORE OF THOSE BLACK FIGURES SPAWNING EVERYWHERE.VIPER, AMBER, AND TONY GLIDED AROUND EACHOTHER SO THEY CAN WATCH EACHOTHER'S BACK.

"WE'LL WORRY ABOUT THE CITIZENS LATER, RIGHT NOW WE NEED TO WORRY ABOUT OURSELVES."TONY SAID WITH HIS KAGUNE ACTIVATED.THE OTHER TWO ACTIVATED THEIR TRANSFORMATIONS, WITH VIPER ACTIVATING HIS EMERALD DRIVE AND AMBER ACTIVATING HER LIGHTNING GODDESS TRANSFORMATION.THEY ALL RUSHED AND ATTACKED THE BLACK FIGURES.

-

THE BLACK FIGURES STARTED TO APPEAR ON THE BEACH AS THEY STARTED TO WALK OUT OF THE WATER. ARNO AND ELLIE STOPPED RUNNIG WHERE THEY SAW THE BLACK SILHOUETTE'S APPORACH THEM SLOWLY AND WITH A SINISTER SMILE ON THEIR FACES.THE SILHOUETTES RUSHED THEM WITH A STRONG FIST BUT ARNO AND ELLIE DODGED AND COUNTERED THE ATTACKS AND LANDED A STRONG RIGHT HOOK TO THE BLACK FIGURE'S GUT, MAKING THEM VANISH AND TURN INTO DUST. ALL OF A SUDDEN SNOW,DAWN, AND NEXO RAN TOWARDS ELLIE AND SNOW WHILE AVOIDING THE BLACK SILHOUETTES AT THE SAME TIME.

"ELLIE! ARNO! ARE YOU GUYS OKAY?!" SNOW SAID PANTING WITH HER HANDS ON HER KNEES.

"YEAH WE'RE FINE, BUT WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?"ARNO SAID. JUST THAN MORE OF THE BLACK FIGURES APPEARED AND CHARGED THE KIDS WITH FEROCIOUS SPEED. THE KIDS POWERED UP AND TRANSFORMED INTO THEIR NEWLY MASTERED TRANSFORMATIONS, WHERE THEY HUDDLED UP CLOSELY TOGETHER AND DODGED THE ENEMY'S ATTACKS. ELLIE AND SNOW SPERATED FROM THE GROUP AND TURNED TO THE FRONT LINES WHERE THEY USED THEIR BENDING POWERS TO UPPERCUT THE ENEMIES INTO THE AIR.DAWN THAN FLEW UP WITH HER WINGS AND FINISHED THE BLACK FIGURES OFF. HOWEVER THE SILHOUETTES KEPT SPAWNING OUT OF NOWHERE AND KEPT COMING OUT OF THE WATER. ARNO USED HIS LEGEND SLAYER POWERS ON ONE OF THE SILHOUETTES, MAKING HIS FIST GET SURROUNDED WITH A FLAMING GOLD AURA AND DESTROYING A LARGE GROUP OF THE DARK FIGURES.JUST THAN ARNO CAME UP WITH AND IDEA.

"SNOW, USE YOUR WATER BENDING TO MAKE A CYCLONE AROUND THE BEACH TO STOP THESE GUYS FROM SPAWNING IN SO FAST. NEXO, SHOOT YOUR VOIDWALKER ULTIMATE INTO THE WATER AND THAN BOOM! THEY'LL ALL BE EVAPORATED!" NEXO AND SNOW NODDED AS THEY RAN CLOSER INTO THE WATER. SNOW MOTIONED HER ARMS AROUND, FORMING A GIGANTIC WATER CYCLONE THAT WAS SO BIG THAT IT REACHED THE SHORE. SNOW PUT SO MUCH PRESSURE INTO THE CYCLONE, THE DARK SILHOUETTES WEREN'T ABLE TO MOVE ANY PART OF THEIR BODY, MAKING SNOW SLIGHTLY GRIN. NEXO JUMPED UP SUPER HIGH INTO THE AIR AND HIS BODY STARTED TO GLOW PURPLE AS HE TRANSFORMED INTO HIS VOIDWALKER FORM.

"NOVA BOMB!" NEXO SCREAMED AS HE USED ALL OF HIS VOID ENERGY TO CREATE A GIANT VOID BOMB INTO THE WATER, EXPLODING ALL THE DARK FIGURES INTO THE WATER AND MAKING A GIANT EXPLOSION INTO THE WATER. ARNO'S PLAN HAD WORKED AS THE KIDS GOT RID OF THE LAST AMOUNT OF DARK SILHOUTTES ON THE BEACH AND A LARGE AMOUNT OF RAIN FELL ON TOP THEM FROM THE HUGE EXPLOSION. ELLIE WAS JUST ABOUT TO USE HER FIRE BENDING ON THE LAST DARK SILHOUETTE BUT BEFORE SHE LANDED THE FINAL BLOW, DAWN GRABBED HER ARM.

"WAIT ELLIE. MAYBE WE COULD ASK THIS ONE SOME INFORMATION."

"YEAH GOOD THINKING. HEY YOU! WHAT THE HELL DO YOU WANT AND WHY ARE YOU ATTACKING THIS TOWN?"

THE BLACK FIGURE LAYED DOWN ON THE GROUND WITH NO LEGS ATTACHED TO IT'S BODY AS IT MADE LOUD GRUMBLING NOISE. ELLIE CLENCHED HER TEETH AS SHE GREW IMPATIENT AND SUMMONED A BRIGHT ORANGE FLAME FROM HER HAND BUT JUST AS SHE DID, THE DARK FIGURE FINALLY SPOKE WITH A DEMONIC VOICE.

"WE.. ARE CALLED... THE SONS OF DARKNESS...."

"THE SONS OF DARKNESS? WHAT THE HELL DO YOU GUYS WANT?"ARNO AND THE OTHER KIDS SAID HOVERING AROUND IT.

"WE... ARE HERE... TO SLAY... A SPECIFIC TARGET...AND BRING DESPAIR TO THIS TOWN...FOR THE DARK OVERLORD HIMSELF...LORD DARKNESS...

"LORD DARKNESS? WHO'S LORD DARKNESS?" SNOW ASKED

"YOUR.....DOOM... HAHAHAHAAHAH.... AHAHAHA--" ELLIE BURNT THE LAST SON OF DARKNESS TO A CRISP.

"THAT'S ENOUGH OF THAT."ELLIE SAID WIT A SERIOUS EXPRESSION ON HER FACE. JUST THAN A LOUD EXPLOSION CAME FROM THE HOUSE WHERE AMBER, TONY, VIPER, AND EDWARD WERE STILL AT. "SOUNDS LIKE THEY NEED OUR HELP, LET'S GO GUYS!" ELLIE SAID RUNNING TO THE HOUSE WITH ALL THE OTHER KIDS FOLLOWING BEHIND HER.

-

"DO YOU GUYS HEAR SOMETHING?" POLARIS SAID STUFFING HIS FACE WITH FOOD.

"YEAH, IT KIND OF SOUNDS LIKE SCREAMING." VIOLET SAID

"LET'S GO OUTSIDE AND CHECK REAL QUICK."CLOUD SAID AS HE GOT UP FROM HIS SEAT AND CHECKED OUTSIDE. PEOPLE WERE RUNNING IN FEAR ALL OVER THE TOWN AS THE SONS OF DARKNESS CAME OUT AND STARTED SETTING BUILDINGS ON FIRE. CLOUD GASPED AND SCREAMED AS HE SAW HIS BELOVED TOWN GETTING DESTROYED AND PEOPLE GETTING BRUTALLY MURDERED RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIS FACE. ALL OF A SUDDEN A SON OF DARKNESS WAS JUST ABOUT TO ASSASSINATE CLOUD, BUT CLOUD WAS JUST ABLE TO FEEL HIM IN TIME AS HE LOOKED UP AND COUNTERED THE SON OF DARKNESS'S ATTACK AND DISINTEIGRATING HIM IMMEDIATLY WITH A GIANT KI BLAST. POLARIS AND VIOLET RUSHED RIGHT TO HIS SIDE AS THEY AW THE CHAOS GOING ON. A LARGE CROWD OF SONS OF DARKNESS'S SURROUNDED THE THREE AT THE ENTRANCE WHERE THEY GOT INTO THEY'RE FIGHTING POSITIONS. POLARIS RUSHED AHEAD AND SHOT A LARGE CHAIN OF BLUE KI BLASTS AT A FEW OF THE SONS OF DARKNESS, EXPLODING THEM AND DISINTEGRATING THEM INSTANTLY AS WELL. VIOLET JUMPED OFF OF POLARIS'S SHOULDERS AND USED HER ACROBATIC, TAE KWON DOE MOVES TO ATTACK THE SONS OF DARKNESS. VIOLET ROUNDHOUSE KICKED THEM, SIDE KICKED THEM, FRONT KICKED THEM, AND EVEN MORE UNTIL ONE OF THE SONS OF DARKNESS THOUGHT THAT THEY COULD SNEAK UP ON HER. VIOLET USED HER TELEKINESIS ON A FEW OF THE ENEMIES IN HER WAY ANY AND TOSEED THEM UP IN THE AIR AND THAN RIGHT BACK DOWN TO THE GROUND WHERE THEY WERE DEFEATED AND VANISHED. CLOUD SIDE KICKED THE LAST OF THE SONS OF DARKNESS THAT TRIED JUMPING THEM, UNTIL HE HEARD A LARGE EXPLOSION FROM EDWARD'S HOUSE ON TOP OF THE HILL. "EDWARD! " CLOUD SCREAMED, READY TO RUN OVER TO THE HILL UNTIL HE LOOKED BEHIND HIM. "ARE YOU GUYS GOING TO BE OKAY?"

"DON'T WORRY ABOUT US JUST GO!" POLARIS SCREAMED PUNCHING MORE SONS OF DARKNESS.

"I'M GOING TO HELP SOME OF THE CIVILIANS GET TO SAFETY! GO AND HELP YOUR FAMILY!"VIOLET SCREAMED RUNNING DEEPER INTO THE TOWN. CLOUD NODDED HIS HEAD AS HE RAN TOWARDS THE HOUSE.

AT THE HOUSE DAWN, NEXO, ARNO, ELLIE, AND SNOW MADE IT UP TOWARDS THE HOUSE WHERE THEY SAW VIPER, A,BER,, ANT TONY STRUGGLING TO BEAT THE SONS OF DARKNESS. VIPER FELL TO THE GROUND AND WAS ABOUT TO BE TRAMPLED OVER BY A MEMBER OF THE SONS OF DARKNESS UNTIL ELLIE SHOT A FIREBALL DIRECTLY AT THE SON OF DARKNESS, BURNING IT TO DUST. THEY ALL RUSHED OVER TO VIPER AND PICKED HIM BACK UP.

"YOU GUYS ARE A LITTLE LATE, DON'T YOU THINK?" VIPER SAID STARCASIACLLY. THEY ALL LOOKED AROUND THEM TO STILL SEE HUNDREDS OF DARK FIGURES SPAWNING ALL AROUND THEM.

"TH-THERE'S SO MANY OF THEM! WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO?" DAWN SAID SHAKINGLY

AMBER USED HER LIGHTNING GUN AND SHOT A BARRAGE OF LIGHTNING OUT OF HER FINGERS AT THE SONS OF DARKNESS AND JUST AS SHE WAS OUT OF BREATH, SHE LOOKED DOWN AND SAW THE REST OF THE KIDS ALSO FIGHTING THE SONS OF DARKNESS AS WELL.

"OH THANK GOD YOU GUYS ARE OKAY! DO YOU GUYS HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE?"AMBER SAID COUNTERING EVERY MOVE.

"WE, FOUND OUT THAT THESE GUYS ARE CALLED THE SONS OF DARKNESS. THEY SAID THEY'RE HERE FOR SOMEBODY SPECIFIC SUPPOSEDLY BUT WE DON'T KNOW WHO. YOU GOT ANY IDEAS?" ARNO SAID DODGING THE SONS OF DARKNESS'S ATTACKS.

"I HAVE NO IDEA, BUT SEEING THAT MOST OF THEM ARE COMING OVER HERE IT MIGHT NOT BE GOOD FOR ANY OF US OVER HERE. " ELLIE SAID DODGING THE SONS OF DARKNESS'S ATTACKS AS WELL.

ALL OF A SUDDEN, ALL OF THE SONS OF DARKNESS HAD AN IMMEDIATE POWER UP AS HUNDREDS OF THEM GANGED UP ON EACH OF THE KIDS.

"MAGICAL STAR BLAST!" DAWN SCREAMED AS SHE FLEW INTO THE AIR AND UNLEASHED SHARP LASER BEAMS IN THE SHAPE OF STARS, RIGHT DOWN TO THE GROUND, AND SLAYING MANY SONS OF DARKNESS. HOWEVER, SHE HAD LET HER GUARD DOWN AS ONE OF THE SONS OF DARKNESS LEAPED UP INTO THE AIR AND BIT DOWN ON HER WINGS, MAKING BLOOD GUSH OUT OF DAWN'S BACK.

"AAHHHH." DAWN SAID SCREAMING IN PAIN AS SHE CRASHED DOWN ONTO THE GROUND COMPLETELY PARALYZED.

"DAWN!!" NEXO SCREAMED SHOOTING THE SON OF DARKNESS WITH HIS DUAL PISTOLS. AND THAN EVAPORATING IT WITH A SOLAR SMACK. NEXO RUSHED OVER TO DAWN'S SIDE AND SOFTLY TOUCHED DAWN'S BACK, JUST TO SEE HER WITH TEARS IN HER EYES. "C-CANY YOU GET UP?"

"I--I CAN'T MOVE."DAWN SAID STRUGGLING TO GET UP. VIPER SENSED AN ENEMY POPPING BEHIND HIM SO HE TURNED AROUND AND QUICKLY THREW A GRENADE AT A HORDER OF ENEMIES AND SHOT IT WITH HIS SUAL PISTOL'S, EXPLODING ALL THE ENEMIES BEHIND HIM, BUT WHAT HE DIDN'T NOTICE WAS A SON OF DARKNESS WHICH APPEARED FROM UNDER THE GROUND, UPPER CUTTING HIM AND BREAKING HIS GUNS. THE SONS OF DARKNESS GANGED ON NEXO, BREAKING HIS RIBS AND SCRATCGING HIS ENTIRE BODY.

"AAHHHH!" NEXO SCREAMED AS WAS ABLE TO ACTIVATE HIS SUNSINGER ABILITY AND DISINTEGRATED ALL OF THE SONS OF DARKNESS AROUND HIM. ANOTHER HOARD APPEARED HOWEVER AND BIT DOWN ON NEXO'S LEG, CAUSING HIM TO FALL ON HIS BACK.

"EMERALD DRAGON RROOOAAARRR!!" VIPER SCREAMED AS HE SHOT A LARGE EMERALD BLAST OUT OF HIS MOUTH, HITTING ALL OF THE SONS OF DARKNESS AROUND NEXO. THE SONS OF DARKNESS RUSHED VIPER AS THEY JUMPED UP INTO THE AIR TO AIR ATTACK HIM, BUT VIPER COUNTERED THE ATTACK.

"EMERALD DRAGON'S RAGING SHIELD!" VIPER SCREAMED AS HE SUMMONED HIS EMERALD SHIELD AND KNOCKED THE SONS OF DARKNESS INTO THE AIR. "EMERALD DRAGON ROAR!" VIPER SAID AS HE THE SONS OF DARKNESS MID AIR, ERADICATING THEM. HOWEVER JUST LIKE THE OTHERS WHO HAVE SUCCESSFULLY LAYED ATTACKS ON THE SONS OF DARKNESS, VIPER WAS GANGED UP ON AS WELL AND SLAMMED TO THE GROUND WHERE HE WAS PINNED DOWN AND STRUGGLED TO MOVE. TONY PIERCED MORE OF THE SONS OF DARKNESS AND RACED TOWARDS VIPER TO SET HIM FREE FROM THE SONS OF DARKNESS'S GRASP, BUT AS HE DID THE SONS OF DARKNESS SHOT RAZOR BLACK KI BLASTS AT HIM. TONY EVADED ALL OF THE BLASTS WITH HIS KAGUNE AND SLAYED ALL OF THE ENEMIES IN HIS WAY BY PIERCING THEM WITH SUCH PRCISION AND SPEED THAT THE SONS OF DARKNESS COULDN'T LAY A SOLID HIT ON HIM. TONY PIERCED THROUGH THE ENEMIES HOLDING VIPER BACK AND THEY FINALLY DISSAPEARED. ALL OF A SUDDEN THE SONS OF DARKNESS STOPPED MOVING.THEY ALL LOOKED UP ATH THE SKY AND ALL THE KIDS EXCEPT FOR SNOW WHO WENT TO GO HEAL NEXO AND DAWN, NOTICED FOUR MORE SILHOUETTES GLIDING IN THE AIR. SOMETHING ABOUT THEM WAS DIFFERENT HOWEVER, THESE FOUR PEOPLE SEMMED DIFFERENT, THEIR ENERGY WAS UNBELIEVABLY STRONG.

JUST THAN, OUT OF NOWHERE THE ENERGY GOT STRONGER AND ALL OF A SUDDEN ELLIE AND SNOW WERE STRUCK WITH BLACK LASER BEAMS ALL OVER THEIR BODY AND THEY BOTH COLLAPSED ONTO THE FLOOR WITH HUGE HOLES, LEAKING BLOOD ALL OVER THEM.THE LASERS WERE SHOT SO FAST, THAT TONY, VIPER, AND AMBER STILL COULDN'T COMPREHEND IN THEIR MINDSET ON WHAT JUST HAPPENED. THE FOUR RAISED THEIR HAND OUT AGAIN TO TRY AND ATTACK ONCE MORE BUT AT THE VERY LAST SECOND, EDWARD APPEARED FROM OUT OF NOWHERE AND BLOCKED THE BLASTS WITH JUST HIS RIGHT HAND.

"I'M SORRY LITTLE ONES. I SHOULD HAVE COME SOONER, BUT I AM HERE NOW TO PROTECT YOU NOW. DARKNESS! SHOW YOURSELF COWARD!" JUST AS EDWARDS STOPPED SCREAMING AT THE ENEMIES ABOVE HIM, THE SONS OF DARKNESS DISSAPEARED INTO THIN AIR AND WERE NOW GONE IN A FLASH. DARKNESS, CABY, MOONIGHT, AND TION FLEW DOWN ONTO THE GROUND WITH DARKNESS IN FRONT LEADING THE THREE.

"EDWARD SPEAR....OH HAVE I BEEN CRAVING THIS MOMENT..THE DAY I GET MY REVENGE ON HOW YOU, ALONG WITH YOUR BUDDIES, IMPRISONED ME FOR YEARS! AND NOW, I GET TO YOU SLAY YOU WITH MY LAST TWO HANDS! I GET TO FINALLY SLAY ONE OF THE LAST REMAINING LEGENDS FROM THE FIRST GENERATION!" DARKNESS SAID WITH A GIANT GRIN ON HIS FACE.

"WE'LL JUST SEE ABOUT THAT, DARKNESS."EDWARD SAID IN HIS FIGHTING POSITION. THERE WAS A HIGH AMOUNT OF TENSION IN THE AIR AS EDWARD'S GOLDEN AURA WAS ACTIVATED AS WELL AS DARKNESS'S BLACK AURA WHICH WAS ACTIVATED AT THE SAME TIME OF EDWARD'S.

ALL OF A SUDDEN DARKNESS AND EDWARD RUSHED EACHOTHER AT HYPER SPEED, MAKING EVERYONE IN THE AREA BARELY ABLE TO SEE THEM THROWING ANY PUNCHES AT EACHOTHER. EDWARD DODGED ALL OF DARKNESS'S PUNCHES AND COUNTERED THEM WITH A GOLDEN AURAED PUNCH TO THE GUT, MAKING SALIVA FLY OUT OF DARKNESS'S MOUTH. EDWARD FOLDED BOTH OF HIS HANDS TOGETHER AND HAMMER PUNCHED DARKNESS DOWN ONTO THE GROUND BUT DARKNESS WAS ABLE TO CATCH HIS BALANCE MID AIR AND RUSHED EDWARD WITH AN ARROW LIKE HEADBUTT, ONLY FOR EDWARD TO DODGE THE ATTACK AND SHOOT GOLDEN BEAMS TOWARDS DARKNESS, ALL DIRECTLY HITTING HIM IN THE BACK AND MAKING HIM BLEED A PURPLE COLOR. DARKNESS GRUNTED AND TURNED AROUND QUICKLY TO SEE EDWARD WITH A DEADLY BLANK FACE, STARING UP AT HIM. EDWARD FORMED A GIANT GOLDEN BEAM IN HIS HAND AND SHOT IT AT DARKNESS, FORMING A GIANT GOLD LIGHT INTO THE SKY. DARKNESS DID THE SAME AND SHOT A GIANT BLACK BEAM AT EDWARD, MAKING BOTH OF THE GIANT BEAM COLLIDE AND FORMING A GIANT SPHERE IN THE MIDDE COMBINED WITH THE COLORS OF GOLDEN AND BLACK. THE GIANT BLAST FINALLY DISPERSED BUT AFTER THE GIANT BLAST, A HUGE PRESSURE OF WIND STARTED TO BLOW THE WHOLE AREA AWAY, MAKING EVERYONE GRIP ANY STABLE RESOURCE AROUND THEM. TREES FROM THE FOREST WERE BEING PULLED OFF THE GROUND AND DARKNESS TOOK THAT AS AN ADVANTAGE, GRABBING A GIANT TREE THAT WAS BLOWN OUT OF THE GROUND AND THROWING IT AT EDWARD. EDWARD SHOT A SET OF GOLDEN RAZOR BEAMS OUT OF HIS ARMS AND DESTROYED THE TREE BUT DARKNESS WAS EXPEXTING HIM TO DO JUST THAT, AS HE RUSHED EDWARD AND PUNCHED EDWARD IN THE FACE BREAKING HIS NOSE AND CAUSING IT TO BLEED. EDWARD GOT SENT FLYING BUT DARKNESS USED HIS NAMEKIAN ABILITIES AND STRETCHED HIS ARM OUT SUPER LONG CATCHING EDWARD AND STABBING HIM IN THE STOMACH WITH A SHARP AND BLACK AURA COVERING HIS ARM. EDWARD COUGHED OUT BLOOD AND DARKNESS STRETCHED HIS ARM OUT ONCE MORE, THROWING EDWARD DOWN TO THE FLOOR. AS EDWARD WAS FALLING DOWN HOWEVER, DARKNESS USED TWO OF HIS SPECIAL MOVES ON EDWARD AS HE WAS FALING DOWN.

"DESTRUCTION'S IMPALING COMBO!" DARKNESS SCREAMED AS HE OPENED UP HIS HAND AND CLOSED IT INTENSILY, SPAWNING BLACK ,SPIKY LOOPS ALL  AROUND EDWARD'S BODY AS THEY STARTED TO CLOSE IN ON HIM AND CUT EDWARD'S SKIN, MAKING BLOOD GUSH OUT. JUST THAN THE BLACK, SPIKY LOOPS STARTED TO GLOW AND BURN EDWARD'S SKIN AS THE LOOPS SUDDENLY EXPLODED. DARKNESS SMILED SINCE HE THOUGHT HE SUCCESSFULLY BLEW EDWARD UP BUT WHEN THE SMOKE CLEARED OUT, HE SAW EDWARD PERFECTLY IN SHAPE AS HE WAS STANDING ON THE GROUND NEXT TO VIPER AND TONY.

"IMPOSSIBLE!"

"YOUR OLD TRICKS WON'T WORK ON ME."EDWARD SAID STANDING STILL.

"TCH...TION! MOONLIGHT! ATTACK!" DARKNESS SAID POINTING DOWN AT THE THREE. MOONLIGHT AND TION NODDED THEIR HEADS AND RAN TOWARDS EDWARD WITH HIGH SPEED. THEY BOTH RAISED THEIR FISTS IN THE AIR BUT VIPER AND TONY PROTECTED EDWARD, COUNTERING THERE ATTACKS. VIPER GRABBED TION'S HANDS AS THEY BOTH PUSHED WACHOTHER BACK AND FORTH, ALONG WITH TONY WHO PUT HIS KAGUNE IN FRONT OF HIS FACE, BLOCKING MOONLIGHT'S PUNCH AND SENDING HIM FLYING DIAGONALLY WITH HIS KAGUNE.

"AHH, A DRAGON SLAYER... YOU SHOULD HAVE DIED ALONG WITH YOUR KIND ON THAT RETCHED ISLAND! BUT DON'T WORRY, I'LL PUNISH YOU FOR YOU SINS, ALONG WITH THAT BROWN HAIRED BOY AS WELL!" TION SAID SMILING

"WHAT ARE YOU EVEN TALKIN ABOU--" VIPER DIDN'T EVEN GET HIS CHANCE TO FINISH TALKING AS TION LET GO OF HIS HANDS AND PUNCHED VIPER IN THE FACESENDING HIM FLYING AS WELL. EDWARD RUSHED DARKNESS AGAIN BUT DARKNESS SHOT HIS LARGE BLACK BEAM AT EDWARD THINKING IT WAS GOING TO HIT HIM BUT EDWARD, AT THE VERY LAST SECOND WAS ABLE TO SHOOT HIS GOLDEN BLAST RIGHT BACK AT DARKNESS, COLLIDING AGAIN AND FORMING ANOTHER GOLDEN AND BLACK SPHERE. HOWEVER IT DIDN'T TURN OUT TO HAVE THE SAME EFFECT LIKE LAST TIME THE BLSATS COLLIDED AS CABY INTERRUPTED EDWARD'S BLAST AND GRABBED BOTH OF HIS ARMS STILL, CAUSING HIM TO GET SHOT UP BY DARKNESS'S HUGE BLAST. EDWARD SCREAMED AS HE COULDN'T ESCAPE THE BURNING SENSATION OF THE BLAST DUE TO CABY'S STRENGTH HOLDING HIM DOWN. EDWARD SCREAMED IN PAIN AS THE BLAST CONTINUED TO WEAKEN HIM AND ONCE THE BLAST FINALLY DISSAPEARED, EDWARD WASN'T ABLE TO MOVE AS CABY FINALLY LET GO OF EDWARD, CAUSING HIM TO FALL ONTO THE GROUND AND CRASH.

"EDWARD!" AMBER SCREAMED AS SHE TRIED RUNNING OVER TO HIM, ONLY TO BE STOPPED BY CABY AND DARKNESS IN HER WAY.

"EMERALD DRAGON ROARRRR!" VIPER SCREAMED SHOOTING A LARGE BEAM OF EMERALD OUT OF HIS MOUTH. TION BACKFLIPPED AND DODGED THE ATTACK, SHOOTING A BLAST OUT OF HIS MOUTH AS WELL.

"DEATH KNIGHT'S SHOUT!" TION SAID, SHOOTING A BLACK BLAST OUT OF HIS MOUTH AND DIRECTLY HITTING VIPER. VIPER SCREAMED AS HE FELL ONTO THE GROUND. VIPER DIDN'T GICE UP AS HE STRUGGLED TO GET UP AND PANTED AT TION'S DIRECTION. "YOU ARE A STRONG OPPONENT, HOWEVER YOUR NOT THE DRAGON SLAYER I'M LOOKING FOR. YOU, ARE NOT EVEN CLOSE TO THE POWER HE HOLDS! SO BEGONE!!" TION SAID AS PUT BOTH OF HIS HANDS RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIS FACE. "DEATH KNIGHT'S DARKNESS SLASH!" TION SAID AS HE RUSHED VIPER WITH TWO LONG AND SHARP BLACK SPIRALS AROUND BOTH OF HIS FISTS AND THREW THE LARGE AND NOW SPINNING SPIRALS AT VIPER CAUSING HIM TO GET SENT TO THE AIR AGAIN AND ONCE THE SPIRALS HAD DISSAPEARED TION RUSHED UP TO VIPER AND STABBED HIM IN THE BACK WITH HIS AURA COVERED  ARM AND MAKING VIPER GO UNCONSCIOUS AND CRASH STRAIGHT DOWN ONTO THE FLOOR. "ANOTHER DRAGON SLAYER DOWN."

WHILE VIPER AND TION WERE FIGHTING, MOONLIGHT AND TONY WERE FIGHTING AS WELL SO FAR NOT LANDING HITS ON EACHOTHER. TONY SWUNG AT MOONLIGHT BUT MOONIGHT COUNTERED AND GRABBED TONY'S KAGUNE, AND PULLED TONY CLOSER TO HIM WHICH LED TO TONY GETTING PUNCHED IN THE GUT INSANELY HARD AND MAKING HIS KAGUNE DISSAPEAR. TONY COUGHED OUT BLOOD AND SAT ON HIS KNEES COUGHING UNTIL MOONLIGHT GRABBED TONY BY HIS HAIR AND ROSE HIS HEAD UP IN ORDER TO MAKE EYE CONTACT. "WHERE IS HE?" MOONLIGHT ASKED.TONY LOOKED AT HIM WITH ONE EYE OPEN.

"DO YOU REMEMBER WHO I AM?"

"NO, AND I DON'T CARE."TONY SAID JUST TO GET PUNCHED IN THE GUT AGAIN.

"DOES MOONLIGHT, THE PRINCE OF NIGHT RING A BELL FOR YOU?"

"MOONLIGHT. WEREN'T YOU THAT GUY CLOUD BEAT UP YEARS AGO?"

"THAT'S RIGHT....I WENT MISSING AND NOONE BOTHERED TO FINE ME, NOT EVEN MY OWN PARENTS CARED ENOUGH TO LOOK FOR ME. AND IT'S ALL BECAUSE OF CLOUD LIGHTNING...NOW WHERE IS HE?!" MOONLIGHT SAID KICKING TONY IN THE FACE AND ONTO THE FLOOR.

"EVEN IF I KNEW... YOU WOULDN'T GET SHIT FROM ME."TONY SAID. MOONLIGHT WAS ENRAGED AND AXE KICKED TONY UNCONSCIOUS. AMBER TURNED AROUND TO SEE EVERYONE WAS KNOCKED OUT OR ON THE VERGE OF DEATH AND SHE STARTED TO SHAKE AS SHE SAW BOTH DARKNESS AND CABY STANDING RIGHT OVER HER. MOONLIGHT RAISED HIS HAND ABOVE HER TO KILL AMBER OFF BUT AT THE LAST SECOND,EDWARD STOOD UP AND KICKED DARKNESS IN THE BACK, MAKING HIM LOSE HIS BALANCE AND FALL ONHIS STOMACH. AMBER SNAPPED OUT OF REALITY AND SHOT CABY WITH HER LIGHTNING GUN, SHOCKING HIM AND PARALYZING HIM TO THE GROUND FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. AMBER UPPER KICKED CABY IN THE FACE SENDING HIS BODY JUMPING UP. AMBER JUMPED ON TOP OF CABY'S BODY AND PUNCHED HIM DOWN FROM THE SKY.

"LIGHTNING RUSH!" AMBER SAID AS SHE FLEW DOWN ONTO CABY AND CONSTANTLY RUSH PUNCHING HIM WITH HER ELECTRIC AURA.AMBER WAS TAKING ADVANATGE OF BOTH HER ELECTRIC ABILITIES AS WELL AS THE GRAVITY AROUND HER AS SHE USED HER LIGHTNING AURA TO PUSH HERSELF OFF OF THE AIR AND RUSH CABY WITH HER LIGHTNING PUNCHES. CABY FINALLY HAD ENOUGH HOWEVER AND GRABBED AMBER'S HAND AND SLAMMING HER TO THE GROUND. CABY USED A CLOSE RANGED GREEN BLAST AT AMBER BURNING AMBER'S BACK AND MAKING HER TEAR UP.AMMBER TRIED TO GET UP BUT CABY STOMPED HIS FOOT ON HER BURNT BACK AND CONSTANTLY MOVED IT AROUND, MAKING HER BACK BLEED. CABY STOPPED AS HE TURNED OVER TO DARKNESS TO SEE HE WAS ABLE TO KNOCK EDWARD DOWN ONTO THE FLOOR AGAIN WITH HIS FOOT ON TOP OF HIS HEAD.

"NOT SO TOUGH ANYMORE ARE YOU? NOW, THIS IS GOODBYE... OLD FRIEND."DARKNESS SAID PUTING HIS HAND OUT AND GETTING READY TO SHOOT EDWARD WITH A PURPLE KI BLAST TO HIS FACE, WHEN JUST THAN CLOUD CAME OUT OF NOWHERE AND KICKED DARKNESS IN THE FACE, SENDING HIM FLYING TOWARDS THE BROKEN DOWN HOUSE! CLOUD STOOD IN FRONT OF EDWARD WITH THE ANGRIEST EXPRESSION ON HIS FACE AS WELL AS HIM PANTING LIKE AN OLD MAN. CLOUD COULDN'T BRING HIMSELF TO LOOK DOWN AT EDWARD BUT IT DIDN'T STOP HIM FROM GOING INTO HIS SUPER SAIYAN TRANSFORMATION AS WELL AS TALKING TO EDWARD WHO WAS CRIPPLED DOWN ON THE GROUND.

"I... CAME HERE AS FAST AS I COULD. I'M SORRY, BUT I PROMISE TO AVENGE YOU GUYS." CLOUD'S NOW BLACK HAIR WAS GOLDEN AND HIS RED EYES WERE A BEAUTIFUL SKY BLUE COLOR. CABY AND TION RUSHED NEXT TO DARKNESS'S SIDE HELPING HIM OUT OF THE RUBBLE OF THE BRKEN HOUSE BUT MOONLIGHT SMIRKED AS HE STOOD A FEW FEET AWAY FROM CLOUD.

"DO YOU REMEMBER ME CLOUD LIGHTNING?! HOW YOU HUMILIATED ME IN FRONT OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE? HOW YOU STOLE WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN MY TITLE? AND HOW YOU STOLE WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN THE LOVE OF MY LIFE? BECAUSE OF YOU I LOST EVERYTHING, INCLUDING MY LIFE HAS A HUMAN,UNTIL LORD DARKNESS TOOK ME IN AND SHOWED ME UNBELIEVABLE POWER I'VE NEVER SEEN BEFORE. BUT NOW...I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!"

MOONLIGHT RUSHED OVER TO CLOUD WHERE HE RAISED A FIST TO PUNCH HIM BUT CLOUD DIDN'T EVEN FLINCH AS HE DUCKED UNDER MOONLIGHT'S ATTACK AND ROSE BACK UP PUNCHING CABY IN THE FACE, SENDING HIM FLYING INTO THE HOUSE AND KNOCKING HIM OUT INSTANTLY. "DON'T BLAME ME FOR YOUR OWN WEAKNESS." CLOUD SAID WITH AN AGRESSIVE YET CALMING EXPRESSION ON HIS FACE. TION LOOK OVER AT MOONLIGHT, THAN AT CLOUD WITH A FRIGHTENED FACE BUT TION DECIDED TO GO AND RUSH CLOUD ANYWAY

"DEATH KNIGHT'S DARKNES--" TION DIDN'T EVEN GET TO FINISH HIS ATTACK AS CLOUD SWIFTLY FLEW BEHIND HIM AND PLACED HIS PALM RIGHT BEHIND TION. "LEGENDS GOLDEN PUSH!" CLOUD SAID SENDING TION FLYING OFF OF THE HILL AND THAN TELEPORTING ON TOP OF HIM.

EDWARDS GASPED, "HOW THE HELL DID HE LEARN INSTANT TRANSMISSION? I NEVER TAUGHT HIM THAT!"

"CELESTIAL PUNCH!" CLOUD SCREAMED PUNCHING TION IN HIS STOMACH, BREAKING HIS RIBS AND FRACTURING HIS BONES. TION COUGHED OUT BLOOD AS HE CRASHED ONTO THE HILL AND ALSO FELL UNCONCIOUS. CABY AND DARKNESS STOOD UP IN ANGUISH AS DARKNESS HAD THOUGHT OF AN IDEA.

"CABY, DESTROY THAT BOY AND I WILL STAND BACK TO DELIVER THE FINAL BLOW."

"YES,MY LORD." CABY SAID RUSHING CLOUD IN THE AIR. CLOUD DODGED HIS ATTACKS AND PUNCHED CABY IN THE FACE BUT IT DIDN'T DO ANY DAMAGE AS CABY STILL TURNED HIS FACE EASILY TO LOOK AT CLOUD. CLOUD GASPED AS CABY STRETCHED HIS NAMEKIAN ARM OUT AND GRABBED CLOUD'S LEG TO SKAM HIM INTO THE GROUND, BUT CLOUD COUNTERED BY SHOOTING A KI BLAST INTO HIS  ARM  AND EXPLODING HIS ARM RIGHT OFF. CABY SCREAMED IN PAIN AS PURPLE BLOOD SHOT RIGHT OFF OF HIS ARM. CLOUD FLEW TOWARDS CABY AND BEAT HIM WITH  A BARRAGE OF PUNCHING COMBOS BACK TOWARDS  THE HOUSE WHERE DARKNESS WAS CHARGING A POWERFUL BLAST THROUGH HIS FINGERS.

"I GUESS I SHOULD BE THANKING THAT LITTLE GIRL FOR SHOWING ME THIS TECHNIQUE..."

EDWARD SAW WHAT DARKNESS AND CABY WERE PLOTTING BUT HE COULDN'T SCREAM OUT HIS PLANS TO CLOUD DUE TO HIS VOCAL CHORDS BEING ALMOST BROKEN DURING HIS FIGHT WITH DARKNESS. "CABY! MOVE!"" DARKNESS SCREAMED AS HE SHOT THE KI BLAST AT CLOUD. CABY MOVED OUT OF THE WAY AND CLOUD GASPED AS HE SAW THE KI BLAST HEAD TOWARDS HIS WAY AS HE THOUGHT HIS LIFE WAS GOING TO FLASH BETWEEN HIS EYES UNTIL SOMETHING UNEPECTED HAPPENED. EDWARD HAD JUMPED UP SUPER HIGH AND BLOCKED DARKNESS'S SHOT FROM HITTING CLOUD, BUT IN ORDER TO DO THAT, EDWARD HAD TO SACRIFICE HIMSELF AND TAKE THE SHOT IN ORDER FOR CLOUD TO KEEP ON LIVING. CLOUD GASPED AS EDWARD'S BODY FELL SLOWLY TO THE GROUND.

"EDWARD!!" CLOUD SCREAMED AS HE SAT NEXT TO EDWARD'S UNRESPONSIVE BODY. DARKNESS AND CABY LOOKED AT EACHOTHER AND NODDED THEIR HEADS AS THEY GRABBED BOTH MOONLIGHT AND TION, AND FLEW OFF. CABY STARED AT DARKNESS IN CONCERN AS THEY FLEW OFF BACK TO THEIR CAVE WITH INTENSE SPEED. CLOUD UNTRANSFORMED HIS SUPER SAIYAN FORM AS TEARS FLEW OFF FROM HIS EYES.

"EDWARD...EDWARD PLEASE.... WAKE IP. OPEN YOUR EYES."THERE WAS NO RESPONSE UNTIL THE KIDS HAD WOKEN UP, BLOODIED AND BEATEN DOWN. SOME CRAWLED AND SOME LIMPED OVER TO CLOUD ONLY TO SEE THE DEAD BOSY OF EDWARD SPEAR.

"NO...NO...NO!" SNOW SCREAMED AS TEARS FLOODED OUT OF HER EYES.

"THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING..."ARNO SAID WITH AN SHOCKED EXPRESSION ON HIS FACE.

"THIS HAS ALL GOT TO BE A DREAM..." ELLIE SAID WITH A SHOCKED EXPRESSION AS WELL.

"GOD DAMN IT IF ONLY I WAS STRONGER, THIS WOULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED AT ALL." AMBER SAID WITH TEARS COMING OFF HER FACE.

"IF I DIDN'T NEED SAVING I COULD HAVE HELPED EVERYONE ELSE." DAWN CONTINUED, WITH TEARS ALSO FALLING OFF HER FACE.

VIPER AND NEXO COULDN'T EVEN BRING THEMSELVES TO LOOK AT EDWARD'S BODY, AS THEY LOOKED THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION WITH TEARS RUNNING DOWN THEIR FACE.

CLOUD KNEELED DOWN AND PLACED HIS HANDS ON TOP OF EDWARD'S BODY WHICH WERE IN A BALLED UP POSITION. "PLEASE, WAKE UP, DAD!" CLOUD HAD SCREAMED WITH HIS TEARS DROPPING ONTO EDWARD'S CORPSE.

-

MEANWHILE BACK IN A SECRET CAVE.

CABY AND DARKNESS WALKED INTO THEIR SECRET HIDEOUT WHICH WAS NOW INFILTRATED WITHT HE SONS OF DARKNESS, AND DROPPED MOONLIGHT AND TION INTO A RESTING ROOM. DARKNESS LIMPED TO HIS HUGE THROWN ROOM AND SAT DOWN ONTO HIS THRONE WHERE HE WAS OUT OF BREATHE. CABY LOOKED UP AT DARKNESS AND SMIRKED.

"My Lord, we have done it. The plan worked."

"YOU FOOL! The plan was to destroy the kids, destroy Brunswick Villa and it's citizens, and slay Edward Spear..."

"Yes, my Lord, and we did just that.

"NO! We destroyed the SOME of the kids while taking casualties down with them, We destroyed the Brunswick Villa and SOME of it's citizens, and WE SLAYED EDWARDS SPEAR."

"My Lord, I don't understand what you are trying to say."

"What I'm saying is, we... ARE STILL NOT STRONG ENOUGH AT ALL. THOSE KIDS WOULD HAVE DESTROYED YOU IF I HADN'T GIVEN YOU ALL MY POWERS! THE PLAN FAILED! WE THIS POWER THAT WE HAVE, I WILL NEVER GET CLOSE TO TAKING OVER THE UNIVERSE!"

"Forgive me for my arrogance my Lord." Caby said as he kneeled down with his head down towards the ground. Darkness sighed.

"We may not be strong enough to taking over the universe but I do know this, Edward Spear...is dead."
