Part 23: Explosive situation

MetalEtemon saw Hinakaze approaching him. "YOU are my opponent? Damn, the other guys got the tough ones and I get this lil' piece 'a shit?" said MetalEtemon, as he looked at Hinakaze. "Don't underestimate me, machine..." said Hinakaze. "Bah! Whatever, let's go!" said MetalEtemon. Then stood and looked at Hinakaze with his hands on his waist. "What are you doing? Aren't you going to attack?" said Hinakaze. "Ladies first!" said MetalEtemon, smiling. "Okay, but you'll regret this!" said Hinakaze. Then she pointed her palms at MetalEtemon. "Red Fire Cannon!" she said then, as she started shooting many red fireballs from her palms at MetalEtemon. MetalEtemon smiled as he jumped high in the air and did some front flips, as Hinakaze was throwing fireballs at him but missed. MetalEtemon jumped above Hinakaze and then landed, as Hinakaze turned to face him. "Haaa!" laughed MetalEtemon as suddenly he charged at Hinakaze and punched her hard in the cheek! "Hahaha! Hahahahaha! Ahahahahahaha!" laughed MetalEtemon as he started throwing many quick punches at Hinakaze's face! "Aah!" said Hinakaze as she was taking a few steps back while MetalEtemon kept punching her. Then MetalEtemon threw a banana behind her legs at such speed she didn't notice, and Hinakaze stepped back and stepped on the banana and fell down. "Hahahahaha! You're so pathetic!" laughed MetalEtemon. "Hmmmm!" grunted Hinakaze as she looked at MetalEtemon angrily and threw a shot of blue fire from her middle and index fingers. "Whoah!" said MetalEtemon as he did a back flip, standing on his hands and then back on his legs, and avoided the attack. Hinakaze got up and said "Wind Dance!" as she swinged her arm around. Then some tiny cyclones appeared and surrounded MetalEtemon, and then they started closing in on him. "Ha!" said MetalEtemon as he jumped high in the air while the cyclones collided and cancelled each other out below him, but then Hinakaze pointed at him with her index finger and said "Pink Lightning!". Then she blasted a pink lightning from her index finger at MetalEtemon, which hit him. "Argh!" said MetalEtemon as he was sent flying by the lightning and fell on the top of a car, smashing it. "Bitch!" said MetalEtemon as he got up on the car's top. Hinakaze hovered up in the air, and then she dived at MetalEtemon and tried to Ice Punch him, but MetalEtemon moved his body and avoided the attack. Hinakaze kept flying, and then she flew up again and then turned and faced MetalEtemon, and then she flew down at him with her leg to try a kick. "Metal Punch!" said MetalEtemon as he avoided Hinakaze's flying kick and then landed a punch straight at her face! Hinakaze fell with her face right on the punch and then she kept going at the same direction she was flying as she started to swing vertically around herself for a while until she hit the ground. "Haha!" laughed MetalEtemon as he jumped from the car's top and dived at Hinakaze with his metal leg, but Hinakaze rolled to the side and avoided the powerful attack, which created a crack on the ground! "Pink Fireball!" said Hinakaze as she pointed her two palms at MetalEtemon and shot a ball of pink flames at him. "Hmph!" said MetalEtemon as he smiled and turned his body to the side while doing a muscle pose with his right arm, which he let get hit by the fireball! MetalEtemon took the attack easily, surprising Hinakaze, and then he jumped at her and said "Heavymon Kick!" as he kicked Hinakaze at the stomach with big force! Hinakaze spat out some blood as she got launched horizontally, and then broke through a window of a large warehouse. As she got up from the floor inside the warehouse, she saw MetalEtemon smashing through the warehouse's wall with a shoulder smash. "Hmm, what is this place?" said MetalEtemon as he looked around and saw many large boxes everywhere in the warehouse. "What are you doing, ape? You're in a battle, you don't have time to be looking away!" said Hinakaze. "Oh, hahaha! I almost forgot! But with the level of challenge you present that's only natural!" laughed MetalEtemon. "Tch" said Hinakaze, as she did a chop in the air and sent a wind blade at MetalEtemon. MetalEtemon rolled away and then the wind blade kept going and hit a box some distance behind him, which then went off in a large explosion! "Whoah, what's in these boxes?" said MetalEtemon as he looked at the explosion's dust and a hole which the explosion had created on the warehouse's wall. Then he ran at a box and opened it. "What are you doing, machine?" said Hinakaze. "Haha! Let's see what this can do!" said MetalEtemon, as he was holding some dynamite in his hand, which he had got from the box, which was full of dynamite! MetalEtemon threw the dynamite at Hinakaze, and Hinakaze did a chop with her hand and sent out a wind blade towards the dynamite. But by the time the wind blade was sent, the dynamite was already close to Hinakaze, and the wind blade hit it and exploded in a blast that caught Hinakaze in its range! "Aaargh..." said Hinakaze as she got sent flying back by the explosion. "This is an explosive situation!" said MetalEtemon as he smiled, and grabbed two dynamites with his hands and threw them at Hinakaze. Hinakaze flew up and avoided them, while the dynamites hit the ground and exploded. The explosion caught a box of dynamites in its range, which caused an even bigger explosion as all the dynamites blew up together, and this large explosion hit Hinakaze! "Urf..." she said as she got blasted flying towards MetalEtemon! "Hahaha! Come to daddy!" said MetalEtemon, as he leaned back his fist and then punched Hinakaze hard at the head, sending her flying away while spinning around herself like a tornado! Hinakaze drill-smashed on the ground and slided for some distance. "Hahaha! What's that?" said MetalEtemon as he opened up another box. In there, he saw some heavy machineguns. "Hey, this looks like one of Gunchamp's toys! I'll try it out!" he said, as he grabbed a machinegun. Hinakaze got up as she looked at MetalEtemon. "Say hello to my little friend!" said MetalEtemon as he smiled and started shooting Hinakaze with the heavy machinegun! Hinakaze rolled as a wheel on her hands and legs to her right as she avoided MetalEtemon's bullets, which hit some crates with explosives and blew them up! "Hahahahaha! Ahahahahaha! Haha!" laughed MetalEtemon as he kept shooting Hinakaze, who avoided his bullets that then kept going and hit the crates which contained guns and explosives, and those that had explosives were blowing up. "What are you doing, you stupid ape? You'll blow us up!" said Hinakaze as she looked at the explosions. "Haha! Dance, little girl, dance!!" laughed MetalEtemon, as he just kept shooting Hinakaze, who started dodging the bullets again. Hinakaze kept doing hand-stand rolls and other quick movements, until MetalEtemon stopped firing his machinegun after some time. "Damn, what's wrong with this thing?" he said, as he had ran out of bullets. Hinakaze stood on the ground and said "Wind Blast!" as she slapped the air and threw a blast of wind from the back of her hand, which disarmed MetalEtemon as it blew the gun off his hands. "Crap! My gun!" said MetalEtemon, as he looked at his gun fly out of a window. Hinakaze then looked and saw a open box, in which there was a long katana. She grabbed it and charged it up with some pink spirit energy! "Haaa!" she said as she ran at MetalEtemon, who threw a banana at her legs, and Hinakaze slipped and fell on the ground. "Watch your step, little one!" MetalEtemon laughed, as he grabbed a grenade from a box. "Boom!" he said as he threw the grenade at Hinakaze, who did a back roll, but the grenade still caught her in an explosion as it blew up on the ground. "Ahh..." said Hinakaze as she was sent sliding on her body by the explosion. She hit a box on which there were also many other boxes, and then all the rest boxes fell on her and squashed her! "Heh, looks like it's over" said MetalEtemon, as he watched the boxes which had buried Hinakaze. But then he saw the boxes getting surrounded by a blue energy, and then they got lift up in the air and Hinakaze flew out from below them. She was also covered in that blue energy, and her eyes were glowing blue! "Psychic powers..." said MetalEtemon as he lift his black glasses up slightly and looked with his eyes, as Hinakaze placed the boxes down slowly with her psychic powers. "That's enough, machine" said Hinakaze, as she looked at MetalEtemon with her blue eyes, full of psychic power. "Heheh... Not yet, little girl!" laughed MetalEtemon, as he jumped behind a crate so that Hinakaze couldn't see him and use psychic on him. Hinakaze started moving towards him to see him, but suddenly MetalEtemon threw a grenade at her which took her by surprise as it hit her before she could react! Hinakaze got blown away by the explosion, and was thrown on a wall. Hinakaze started getting up, but then she suddenly saw MetalEtemon charging at her with a big smile on his face, as he punched her hard on the stomach! Hinakaze widened her eyes and coughed out some blood, and now she was too weak and could not concentrate to use psychic powers anymore. "Hahaha! What's wrong, are you tired?" laughed MetalEtemon, and then he grabbed Hinakaze by the hair and tossed her on a pile of guns! Hinakaze got up with two submachineguns in her hands, and then she started shooting at MetalEtemon. MetalEtemon jumped high in the air above Hinakaze, who kept shooting. Most of the bullets missed, but some hit MetalEtemon as he was diving down at Hinakaze, although they did nothing to him! "Hah!" said MetalEtemon as he landed his heavy metal foot on Hinakaze's foot, stomping her badly! "AAARGH!" screamed Hinakaze in pain. "Stop screeching!" said MetalEtemon as he slapped Hinakaze across the face, sending her sliding on her body. MetalEtemon then stood and looked at Hinakaze, who started to slowly get up from the ground. She was heavily wounded, with blood covering her entire body, clothes and head. "It's over, girl! Give it up!" said MetalEtemon, smiling. "It'll be over soon..." said Hinakaze, as the ground began to tremble. "What's that?" said MetalEtemon, as he looked around. "Hurricane!" said Hinakaze as she suddenly waved her arm and instantly formed a gigantic hurricane! "Wow!" said MetalEtemon as he took a few steps back and looked at the huge hurricane, which was dragging inside it many boxes, weapons and explosives from around the warehouse and started spinning them all fast in circles! "Mmmm..." said Hinakaze, as she closed her eyes and used her last powers to control the Hurricane and direct it towards MetalEtemon! MetalEtemon started to get dragged towards the hurricane, along with many other objects from the warehouse! "You lil' bitch!" he said, as he started running towards Hinakaze, while keeping his distance from the hurricane. Hinakaze had her eyes closed to concentrate to control the hurricane, until she heard MetalEtemon's steps while he was heading towards her! Hinakaze opened her eyes, but it was too late as MetalEtemon had already dived at her and used Heavymon Kick on her chest with huge force! Hinakaze spat out a big amount of blood as she got sent flying and went through a crate full of explosives, ending up inside it, surrounded by many bombs and dynamite! MetalEtemon saw the huge hurricane going out of control as Hinakaze stopped controlling it with her powers, and then he ran away as the hurricane was raging inside the warehouse. The hurricane, full of explosives, kept going and went straight at the box where Hinakaze was in, and sucked it into it! Hinakaze started spinning around in her own hurricane in the explosives box, and then the hurricane kept going and hit a wall of the warehouse! MetalEtemon jumped out of the warehouse from a window literally in the last second before the huge hurricane and all its explosives blew up in a gigantic explosion which destroyed the entire warehouse in an incredibly huge explosion of fire that resembled a nuclear explosion! After the incredibly loud sound of the explosion, many car alarms started sounding, as a lot of broken, flaming pieces from the warehouse started falling from the sky. MetalEtemon was sitting on some grass and looked at the warehouse's burning ruins, in which Hinakaze had been killed, ironically, with the help of her own ultimate attack, Hurricane.

Part 24: Dragonaurus - Golden Blast!

Dragonaurus was fighting against Exrai. "Dragonaurus... This is bad... But I have no other option, I guess... Okay, I just need to delay this guy for a while while the others kill the machines..." thought Exrai. "What's wrong, little bird? Are you scared?" said Dragonaurus, as he looked at the agony in Exrai's eyes. "Tch. Don't underestimate me so easily, Dragonaurus. The battle hasn't even begun just yet" said Exrai. "Oh yeah? But it's gonna end right now!" said Dragonaurus, as he fired a Hyper Beam at Exrai. But Exrai flew and avoided the beam in the last second, while the beam kept going and destroyed five entire houses in a row! "Thunderbolt!" said Exrai as it fired a Thunderbolt at Dragonaurus, but Dragonaurus also fired a Thunderbolt. The two attacks collided and were equal in strength, so they cancelled each other out. Then Dragonaurus used Flamethrower on Exrai, but Exrai flew and avoided it. But as it was dodging, Dragonaurus flew at it and grabbed it with his hands! "Ah! Let me go!" said Exrai as electricity came out of its body and zapped Dragonaurus's hands! "Tch" said Dragonaurus, as he let Exrai go, but he didn't seem to be hurt much by Exrai's electricity. In fact, he just left it only out of annoyance, even though Exrai's electricity was extremely powerful! "Wing Attack!" said Exrai as it flew at Dragonaurus and started to flap him with its wings. "Hahaha! That's supposed to be a Wing Attack? I'll show you how it's done!" said Dragonaurs as he laughed, and then he used Wing Attack on Exrai. Dragonaurus flapped Exrai powerfully with his wings and sent it flying away! "Damn! This strength... I really can't compete with it. I hope the others finish off these machines soon, 'cause I don't think I'll last much longer at this rate!" said Exrai, as it was flying backwards by Dragonaurus's Wing Attack. Then it flapped his wings and stopped flying. "Haha!" smiled Dragonaurus then as he used Extremespeed at Exrai and delivered a powerful shoulder strike at the bird with huge speed! "Ugh!!" said Exrai as it widened its eyes when it was hit at the stomach with such force that it spat out some blood! "Ha!" laughed Dragonaurus then as he flew above Exrai and swung around his body fast, and, at the end of his swing, he striked Exrai hard with his tail from above! The attack hit Exrai straight at the head, and Exrai was sent diving fast towards the ground! Exrai fell right into a chimney of a house and ended up in the house! As it landed inside, a huge explosion happened which demolished the whole house! Dragonaurus flew down and landed on the ground, watching at the dust of the demolished house, which was covering the area around the house. "That wealking must be dead by now. How disappointing..." he said. But then he looked carefully and saw two yellow eyes glowing through the dust! "Thunderbolt" he heard then, and Dragonaurus was then surprised as he saw a huge Thunderbolt attack emerging from the dust and heading towards him! He immediately used his wings as a shield, and the Thunderbolt then hit them hard and burnt them a little as it even pushed Dragonaurus back on his feet for some distance! "What the hell was that? The previous Thunderbolt wasn't as powerful!" said Dragonaurus, as he moved his wings back to normal position and looked at Exrai standing on the ruins of the demolished house, while the wind was blowing away the dust. "Am I still disappointing you, Dragonaurus?" said Exrai, as it was breathing heavily. "Ha! Hahahahahahaha! Bring it on, birdie! Now I can say that there is a reason to kill you!" said Dragonaurus as he looked at Exrai with an evil look in his eyes and a big smile on his face! "Earthquake!" said Exrai, as it stomped on the ground and caused an Earthquake. "Tch. You really find thinking hard, don't you?" said Dragonaurus, as he just flew up and avoided the Earthquake. "Charge!" said Exrai, as it spread its wings open and flew up in the sky, while at the same time it started charging up a large amount of electricity in its body. "Hm?" said Dragonaurus as he watched. "Thunderbolt!" said Exrai after it had charged, and then it fired a gigantic Thunderbolt attack at Dragonaurus! Dragonaurus flew up and barely avoided the Thunderbolt, which kept going and fell in the sea close to a beach, frying many innocent swimmers and water type pokemon alive! "So this is why your attack became so powerful... It's because of that charging thing..." said Dragonaurus. "Exactly. And guess what? I'm going to use it to destroy you!" said Exrai, as it once again charged up much electricity in its body. "Thunderbolt!" it said then, as it fired another gigantic Thunderbolt at Dragonaurus. "Lightning Blast!" shouted Dragonaurus, as he fired a huge bolt of lightning out of his mouth! Dragonaurus's attack collided with Exrai's and overcame it, as it kept going and even hit Exrai with some force! "Argh!" said Exrai as it was hurt a little by Dragonaurus's attack and was pushed back for a small distance. "You might have some power, bird... But don't fool yourself by believing that it is more than mine..." said Dragonaurus, as he looked at Exrai in the eyes. "Then I'll just kill you in a swift, lethal strike! Drill Peck!" said Exrai as it flew fast at Dragonaurus and tried to drill him with its spinning beak, straight at the heart! "No" said Dragonaurus, as he grabbed Exrai's beak in his powerful right claw! "Uaagh!" said Exrai as it now started spinning around itself, since its beak was spinning but Dragonaurus was holding it, so Exrai's rest body was now spinning instead! Exrai stopped spinning soon, and it was now dizzy from all the spinning. "Dragonbreath!" said Dragonaurus then, as he used Dragonbreath on Exrai from point-blank range! Unable to dodge since Dragonaurus was holding it by the beak, Exrai got burnt badly by the powerful green flames which Dragonaurus was spitting straight into its face! Then Dragonaurus let Exrai go, and then he said "Triple Slam!" as he slapped Exrai's head hard twice with his muscular tail, and then he slammed it one last time on the top of Exrai's head, launching it flying vertically towards the ground at huge speed! "Urf..." said Exrai as it barely managed to use its wings to change his vertical course and fly just above the ground, and then fly back high in the sky. "Hm... So, you can still fly even after all those attacks?" said Dragonaurus, as he looked at Exrai, who was flying exhausted in the sky, with much blood covering its body. "Pre... Prehistoric Power!" said Exrai then, as it used Prehistoric Power. Dragonaurus watched as some huge rocks started coming flying from the ground! "Hmph!" he said, as he flew to the side and let a rock fly next to him, and as it was right next to him he did a spin and slammed it hard with his tail! The rock then went flying and hit Exrai in the air! "Uff..." shouted Exrai as it was hit at the stomach hard by the rock, and spat out much blood from its mouth! After hitting Exrai, the rock continued flying below the bird, while Exrai lost some height after the hit and desperately tried to stay in the air. The rock flew behind Exrai and landed on an oil truck, destroying it in a huge explosion, which even caught Exrai in its range! "Argh!" shouted Exrai as it was blasted from behind and was sent flying fast towards Dragonaurus by the explosion! Dragonaurus smiled as he created some purple flames in his right hand, and then he punched Exrai hard as it flew at him! Exrai suffered a devastating blow, after which it was sent flying diagonially towards the ground, and he landed on a pavement, smashing it as it even kept sliding for some distance until it stopped. Dragonaurus landed on the ground, and watched as Exrai was struggling to get up on its feet. "I must say, this was fun. But it's over now..." said Dragonaurus as he looked at Exrai, smiling. But suddenly he widened his eyes, as he heard an incredibly huge explosion which even shook the ground! Immediately he and Exrai, surprised, turned their heads and saw something that resembled a nuclear explosion happening at a warehouse, while a metal ape machine was just getting up from some grass! "It looks like it's over for your friends as well..." said Dragonaurus, while the atmosphere was still shaking from the explosion. "No! Hinakaze!" said Exrai, as it looked at the explosion's dust. Then it turned his head and looked as Gunchamp was blowing up Kylorados with a Hyper Beam, and then it looked elsewhere and saw Magmegalosaurus lying slain, as Beelzemon was grabbing his motorcycle! "No! No!" said Exrai, as then it turned its head once more and looked at Enu's fried corpse, lying on the floor! "You seem to miss these guys... But don't worry, I'll send you with them!" said Dragonaurus. "You..." said Exrai, as he turned his head with a shadow covering the extremely furious look in his eyes, and he was also charging up a gigantic amount of electricity! Dragonaurus took some steps back, as Exrai's electricity started to cover a large area around him! "DIE!!! SACRED THUNDER!!!" screamed Exrai as loudly as it could, and then a terribly big blue lightning attack came out of its mouth and headed towards Dragonaurus! "AAAAAAARRRGGGHHHH!!!" screamed Exrai as it was firing its attack, which was so huge that it even blocked its line of sight, making it unable to see what was in front of it! "AAAaaaaargh... Uff... Pant... Pant..." said Exrai as it exhausted all of its power in his attack, and stopped using it after some seconds. "This... was tiring... but at least he's gone now... it seems..." said Exrai. "Heh, you wish, birdie! I'm over here!" it heard a voice then from above. Exrai then looked above it and saw Dragonaurus flying, and smiling! "No! No! No..." it said, as it watched Dragonaurus with a desperate look. "That was an impressive attack. In fact, it might've caused me huge trouble had it hit me! Too bad it didn't though" said Dragonaurus, smiling. "You-you bastard..." said Exrai. "So, I suppose this was your ultimate attack, right? In that case, let me repay the favor... with my own ultimate attack!" said Dragonaurus. Then he started forming a large gold ball of energy, while Exrai was watching helpless as it didn't have any power left, not even to move! In addition to that, Dragonaurus was emitting a powerful energy which pushed it hard towards the ground! "Golden Blast!!" shouted Dragonaurus excitedly, as he fired the huge gold ball of energy at Exrai, hitting it in an unbelievably gigantic explosion of light which enlightened a very large area and demolished many buildings around! Even Dragonaurus himself was sent flying back by the explosive force of his attack, which sent hundreds of objects in its range flying! After some seconds, the attack ended, leaving behind nothing but ruins covered in a huge amount of dust. Dragonaurus landed on the ground and waited until the dust went away. Soon, he saw that the only thing that was left after his Golden Blast was a large crater on the ground. Nothing was left of Exrai - he had been completely destroyed.

Part 25: Interruption

Rance was above Ryuumaru, hovering in the sky as he watched his Dragonaurus. Ryuumaru was into the dust that had been created after he had crashed on the crossroad and created a big crater. Suddenly he emerged at blinding speed, with his fist leaned back and with green flames coming out of it! Then he tried to punch Rance, who was still looking at his Dragonaurus, but Rance raised his hand and grabbed Ryuumaru's fist in it without even looking! "...What!" said Ryuumaru, as he widened his eyes in surprise. "Heh" laughed Rance, with his eyes closed. Ryuumaru then pulled out his sword with his other hand and tried to slash Rance, but Rance once again grabbed Ryuumaru's sword with his bare hand! Rance then, holding Ryuumaru's sword and hand in his own hands, delivered a kick at Ryuumaru's chest with the force of a cannon! Ryuumaru was launched flying and landed back to the crater which he had created previously, and made it even bigger as he crashed hard on the ground and filled the place with dust! Rance looked down at the dust in which Ryuumaru was, and then he hopped and started to dive extremely fast down towards the crater. He flied at comet speed and a green fire covered his entire body, making Rance resemble a comet on green fire! Ryuumaru got up from the dust and barely managed to notice flame-covered Rance, raising his sword to guard himself. "HAHAHA!" laughed Rance, covered entirely in green flames and with an insane look in his eyes and a big smile, as he delivered an extremely powerful green fire punch at Ryuumaru's sword without even getting cut! "Ugh!" said Ryuumaru as he looked at his sword, and then Rance swung his body and delivered a spinning green fire kick straight at Ryuumaru's face! "Uagh!" screamed Ryuumaru as he was sent flying horizontally by Rance's powerful Dragon Kick, and he flied at big speed just above the ground, occasionally bouncing on it! Ryuumaru kept bouncing until he eventually hit a car and stopped as he got smashed on it. Rance landed on the ground and he then slowly started to walk towards Ryuumaru, smiling. The green fire around Rance's body had now disappeared after his attacks. "Uh... Damn..." said Ryuumaru, as he slowly got up from the ground and looked at Rance walking towards him. "Crushing Trees!" he said then as he put his hands on the ground, and then some tree roots came out of the ground and started to wrap around Rance! Ryuumaru watched as the roots formed such a thick trap around Rance that he could not even be seen anymore! He looked carefully and hoped that the attack would stop Rance, but suddenly he saw the tree roots burning in some green fire and dying, falling on the ground, as Rance kept walking uninterrupted in the green fire that was burning the tree roots! "Unbelievable... Just how did Rance become so powerful?" he wondered, as he watched Rance walk. Suddenly Rance stopped. He grabbed his sword. "Sword Boomerang!" he said then, as he threw his sword at Ryuumaru like a boomerang. Ryuumaru watched closely at the sword and blocked it with his own as it was about to hit him, but at the moment he did that Rance used Extremespeed and went to his right, and, as Ryuumaru was blocking his sword, Rance delivered a heavy Dragon Punch straight on Ryuumaru's head! "Argh!" said Ryuumaru as Rance's fist landed on his right cheek and sent him flying through an entire building, and then he continued fallen on the ground, sliding on a road! Rance immediately caught his sword after the Dragon Punch, while at the same time he looked at Ryuumaru, who eventually stopped sliding and was then started to get up. Rance used Extremespeed and went next to him and tried to punch him. But, in the last moment, Ryuumaru noticed Rance, and he moved at extreme speed to get behind him and punch him on the back instead! Rance was sent flying and went through a bus from its side, and then he kept going as the bus flipped to the side. Rance slid on the ground on his cape for some distance, and then he did a roll and got up. "Damn!" he said. "Heh" smiled Ryuumaru as he moved at extreme speed before Rance and started throwing punches at blinding speed! But Rance moved his arms also at extreme speed and started to block every single one of Ryuumaru's punches! "That speed... Impossible!" thought Ryuumaru as he widened his eyes in surprise. "You do really suck at this, Ryuumaru!" said Rance, as he looked at Ryuumaru's eyes and kept blocking his punches without even looking! "You're so pathetic! I'll show you! I'll show you some extreme speed hand-to-hand combat!" continued Rance, as he started throwing punches on Ryuumaru's face! The speed at which Rance was throwing his punches was double than that of Ryuumaru's, and Ryuumaru was flinching with every punch! "Hahahaha! Ahahahahaha! Hahahahahahaha!" laughed Rance insanely as he threw punches at Ryuumaru faster and faster, and Ryuumaru couldn't believe in his eyes! "Draaaaagon Punch!" said Rance as he ended his unbelievably fast punch combo with a powerful Dragon Sky Uppercut, which launched Ryuumaru flying at huge speed! Ryuumaru flew high, with blood coming out of his mouth and nose, and then he fell back towards the ground and landed straight on a car and smashed it up badly. "You're too slow fo' ma' beat!" laughed Rance as he did a pose. But then he looked confused as he saw Ryuumaru smiling as he got up. "Have you lost it, Ryuumaru? Why're you smilin' while you're dyin'?" said Rance. "Heh... Rance.... I'm not angry about losing. In fact, I am glad. Glad that I have, once more, encountered a challenge worthy of my skill" said Ryuumaru, smiling. "What're y' talkin' 'bout?" said Rance angrily. "Heh... You remind me of Dragonaurus... He, too, was beating me in the beginning of our battle... And he was also arrogant and confident like you... Until I defeated him, with the help of my five trusted Sacred Creatures..." said Ryuumaru calmly. "Heheheh... Well open your eyes and look, your lil' buddies are dead! There's no one to save ya anymore!" said Rance, smiling evily. Ryuumaru then looked and saw his five Sacred Crearures killed by the machines and by Dragonaurus! "Oh, no. No! I shouldn't have left them alone against that Dragonaurus..." said Ryuumaru. "I'll send ya with 'em!!" said Rance, as he charged at Ryuumaru with his sword. But Ryuumaru blocked with his own sword.

"Hm!" said Rance, as he jumped away from Ryuumaru after the latter had blocked his attack. Rance landed on his feet some distance away from Ryuumaru, and then he looked at him in the eyes. "Prepare to die! Hyper Beam!" said Rance, as he pointed his sword at Ryuumaru. Ryuumaru immediately hid behind his cape for protection, while Rance fired his Hyper Beam. However, just in the moment he fired it, something big suddenly appeared in front of him and grabbed his sword's end, and then the Hyper Beam exploded as it hit what had grabbed the sword! The explosion caused some dust, and after it faded away, Rance and Ryuumaru looked and saw a huge red machine standing between them, holding the tip of Rance's sword with the three ends of his right hand claws. It was ChaosLord! "Damn! ChaosLord!" said Rance as he pulled back his sword, and ChaosLord let it go. "So you are Dragon Master Rance..." said ChaosLord, as he opened his eyes and looked at Rance. "That's right! I'm Rance!" said Rance. The he pointed his sword at ChaosLord and said "ChaosLord! My dragons will have, by now, destroyed all your men on ChaosPlanet! You're next!" said Rance. "Destroyed my men? Ha, ha, ha. Fool. It is your dragons that got destroyed on my planet" said ChaosLord. "What?" said Rance. Suddenly, ChaosLord lunged at him and grabbed him in his right claw! "Aargh! Crap! Let me go!" said Rance angrily, as he punched and slashed ChaosLord's claw with his fist and sword, without effect. "So, Rance... you are posing as Acclaim, and have taken his position as the leader of Dragon Planet. And you are even trying to take over Earth as he did" said ChaosLord, as he looked at Rance, who was still struggling to escape his hold. "Now, as you may know, Acclaim paid for similar actions... with his life. And you are following his steps. Before I give you the same fate as the previous "Dragon Master", I will offer you another chance to mend your ways. Consider this a warning" he continued. "Damn!" said Rance, as he looked at ChaosLord's eyes, unable to escape his tight hold. "Now, go back to your little dragon statue..." said ChaosLord, as he raised his hand, "...and stay there!" he continued as he used Superpower! He swung his right arm at blinding speed and tossed Rance with unbelievable force in the sky! Rance was sent flying, and Dragonaurus saw him. "Master Rance!" he said, as he started flying away from Earth. Some other of Rance's dragons also saw that. A Snakezaur said "Hey, what's going on? Why's Dragonaurus leaving?". An Oobereseadivagon said "Look! It's master Rance!" as he pointed at Rance, who was flying in the sky. "Let's go!" said a Goorialdra, as he started flying away from Earth, following Rance. Many dragons followed him, and all the dragons followed the rest dragons who were leaving, and soon they all evacuated Earth and followed Rance. "Damn!" said Rance, who had been sent flying so fast that his cape caught on fire soon after he was launched flying, and then he flew for a huge distance until he landed on his own planet! He landed on a hill and hit it with such force that, after he crashed on it, the only thing that was left from the it was much dust and a large crater, in the center of which was Rance, fainted! After some seconds, the dragons arrived at Dragon Planet, and some of them gathered around and looked at Rance, who had lost his senses after he had crashed with such force on the ground. Meanwhile, on Earth, ChaosLord turned around and looked at Ryuumaru. "Ryuumaru... Your behaviour is... very unsatisfying..." said ChaosLord. "Hmph!" said Ryuumaru in despise, as he shot a Hyper Beam from his sword at ChaosLord, who just reflected it back with his left claw at Ryuumaru, hitting him and dropping him to the ground. "Tch" said Ryuumaru, as he started to get up from the ground. But he widened his eyes in surprise as he suddenly found himself teleported in ChaosLord's right claw! Ryuumaru then struggled to escape ChaosLord's hold, without results though. "You're a stubborn one, aren't you? But, I still have some faith in your intelligence. And the people on your planet should not pay with their lives just because you could not accept defeat" said ChaosLord. "The only one who will pay with their life will be you" said Ryuumaru, as he fired a Hyper Beam at ChaosLord, without effect. "Listen up, Ryuumaru. This is your last chance. I will give you six days to ready your people to evacuate your planet. Now..." said ChaosLord, as he pointed his right claw towards the sky, while still holding Ryuumaru in in. "...Get lost" he continued, as he fired a Hyper Beam at Ryuumaru, which hit him at the cape at point-blank range! Ryuumaru was blasted flying towards his planet, and his cape had been damaged a little by ChaosLord's beam! "Impossible! My cape! It's damaged!" said Ryuumaru as he looked at some threads waving from his damaged cape. "This has never happened before... ChaosLord... He's unbelievable... Such power... And Rance too..." he continued. "Well... It seems I have found two opponents of my level. But... heh heh... I will bring them both to their knees, just like when I first battled Dragonaurus..." thought Ryuumaru, as he was flying in the sky with such force that he was unable to even slow down himself! Meanwhile, his army of Shinigamis and Sacred Creatures were somewhere in space, on their way to ChaosPlanet. "Hahahahahahaha!!" laughed Mag insanely as he was the first one leading the attack. "Lord Mag! Watch out!" said a Shinigami, who was behind Mag. "Hm?" said Mag, as he turned his head to look, but before he could see anything he was suddenly hit by a black comet which was pushing him extremely fast back towards Soul Society! "Shit!" said a Shinigami as he saw that. "What was this black comet?" said another. "It was... Ryuumaru!" said Rika, looking scared. "Lord Ryuumaru? Are you sure, Rika?" said Yamix. "Yeah, I also think it was him! What happened?" said Dragonaurus. "I think we should go and see" said Yaiba. "Yeah" said Dragonaurus. Yaiba then looked at the army of Shinigamis and said "Shinigamis, the attack is cancelled for now. We will return to our planet". Then he and the rest Shinigamis and Sacred Creatures flew back to their planet, following the black comet which had dragged Mag, which was indeed Ryuumaru! Ryuumaru flew fast, pushing Mag at comet speed towards Soul Society. The two Shinigamis reached close and kept flying until they got hit straight on Ryuumaru's castle and smashed all the way from the roof to the basement and got buried even below! "Shit! Shit! SHIT!" shouted Mag, as he got up. "Calm down, Mag" said Ryuumaru, as he got up and wiped some dust off his clothes. Back at Earth, ChaosLord looked and saw the four machines from his planet, SkullMeramon, Beelzemon, Gunchamp and MetalEtemon. He flew at them, and they all faced him. Then ChaosLord landed in front of them. "Hello, boss! Nice moves you used there! That showed 'em!" said MetalEtemon. "Machines... What are you doing here?" said ChaosLord. "We just came here to crush some lizards for fun!" said Gunchamp. "As you can see, the battle has just come to an end. Now, let's go back to ChaosPlanet and release the dragons" said ChaosLord. "Release the dragons? ChaosLord, are you sure? They might come back with that Rance guy!" said MetalEtemon. "And that other guy you let go... That Ryuumaru dude... He also didn't seem like a person who can be trusted" said SkullMeramon. "Don't worry about that. This was their last warning. If they come back again, there will be no more chances..." said ChaosLord, as he looked at the sky, towards the direction where he had thrown Rance and Ryuumaru. Then he looked at his machines, and said "Alright. Let's go". Then he and his machines started flying back to their planet. They reached there after some time, and MetalEtemon, Gunchamp, Beelzemon and SkullMeramon flew fast and all landed on the ground before ChaosLord. As soon as they landed on the ground, various machines surrounded them, asking them about what had happened. The four machines started telling stories about their battles against the four beings of Ryuumaru, while ChaosLord also arrived on the planet. "ChaosLord, you're back!" said a Skarmwary. "Welcome back, ChaosLord" said ChaosBlackWarGreymon, as ChaosLord landed on the ground. "What should we do with the dragons?" he continued. "Release them" said ChaosLord. "Okay" said ChaosBlackWarGreymon. Then he turned and faced a MetalGreymon and a SkullGreymon, as well as some other machines. "You heard what he said" said ChaosBlackWarGreymon. Then these machines started informing the dragons that they were free to leave. Also, more and more machines learned the about ChaosLord's decision, and started to tell the dragons to leave. "Lucky... You lizards are lucky that ChaosLord is so merciful!" said a Knightmon. "Go back to your planet... and never return here!" said a Boltmon. "R-Really? You're letting us go?" asked a Sunaryuu, who was just informed by ChaosMetalSeadramon that he was free to go. "Don't make me repeat myself. Go" said ChaosMetalSeadramon, with his eyes closed. "Th-thank you!" said the dragon, and he then flew away. Eventually, all the dragons left the planet. They were happy to be free, but also sad that they had lost the battle at the same time.

Part 26: Back from the beginning

Peace had been restored on Earth. With the exception of a few criminal organizations which were still carrying out their plans on several towns and cities, and a few wild pokemon who were still causing trouble, most of the world was now in peace. The people on Earth looked at the ruins that were left after the raid of Rance's dragons, as well as the destruction caused by Ryuumaru. They started to rebuild what had been destroyed, while at the same time the beings of other planets were making their own plans.

At Soul Society, Ryuumaru and Mag got out from the damaged castle, and saw the army of Shinigamis and Sacred Creatures approaching. They all started landing on the planet, as Ryuumaru watched them. "Ryuumaru!" he heard a voice. He turned his head to the right and saw Rika running at him. "Are you okay!" said Rika, as she reached next to him and looked at him in the eyes, looking worried. "Of course, silly" said Ryuumaru as he closed his eyes and smiled at her. Rika then blushed as she looked down. "Ryuumaru, what happened?" heard Ryuumaru. He turned his head and saw Dragonaurus. "I found ChaosLord" said Ryuumaru. "Really? Did you kill him?" said Dragonaurus. "No, not yet. He has an impressive strength, actually. It will not be as easy as I thought" said Ryuumaru. "Tceh" said Mag as he turned his head and looked away. "Hm?" said Ryuumaru. "What is it, Mag?" he continued. "Nothin'... See, it's just that you went to that planet to destroy this guy and you ain't done nothin'" said Mag. "Mag, a fight is not merely about strength... You have to use strategy" said Ryuumaru. "Do you have something in mind, lord Ryuumaru?" said Yaiba, who was standing next to Mag. "No, not at the moment. But I will come up with something during the six days which ChaosLord will wait before attacking again" said Ryuumaru. Then he looked around, and noticed some Shinigami prisoners. "Hm... Aren't these people prisoners?" said Ryuumaru. "Yes, my lord. We allowed them out for the war, since the situation called for it" said Yaiba. "I see. But the war has now stopped. Put these people back to their cells" said Ryuumaru. "It will be done" said Yaiba. Then he turned around and looked at all the Shinigamis, and then he closed his eyes as he made a sign with his head. Immediately, the prisoner Shinigamis were arrested by the other Shinigamis. "W-what's going on?" said a prisoner Shinigami. "You're going back to your cell, scum" said a Shinigami. "Wait! Wait! But... we were about to help for war!" said another prisoner. "Sorry, boy! Lord Ryuumaru's orders!" said a Shinigami. "Fuck you!" said a prisoner as he punched the Shinigami who was trying to arrest him, and then he kicked another at the stomach. Three other Shinigamis surrounded him, but the prisoner grabbed the sword of one of the Shinigamis he had knocked out previously and pointed it at one of the Shinigamis. "S-step back, motherfuckers! I'll kill ya!" said the prisoner, as he had widened his eyes in tension. "Put that down, or we will be forced to kill you!" said a Shinigami. "Let him" sounded a voice then. The Shinigamis turned their heand and saw Ryuumaru, where the voice came from. They then lowered their swords. The prisoner looked at Ryuumaru with his eyes widened, with sweat in his face. "What is your name, prisoner?" asked Ryuumaru. "Ken" said the prisoner. "I see. Ken, please put down your sword and return to your cell quietly" said Ryuumaru calmly. "And what if I don't?" said the prisoner. "You will..." said Ryuumaru, as he started walking towards the Shinigami, "...if you value your existence, that is" he continued, as he stopped walking and looked at the prisoner in the eyes. "Ugh..." said the Shinigami, as he was getting pushed back by an enormous spirit energy radiating from Ryuumaru's body. "Fuck you, dickhead! Raaaaargh!" screamed the man insanely as he widened his eyes and started charging at Ryuumaru. "Hm" said Ryuumaru as he closed his eyes while the maddened prisoner was charging at him. Then he did an upward movement of his arm and unleashed a wave of spirit energy at the prisoner. "Waaah!" said the prisoner as he got sent flying as he got hit by the wave, and then he landed on his back down to the ground. The prisoner breathed heavily as he got up from the ground, and then he raised his head and looked at Ryuumaru. "Ugh!" he said as he widened his eyes, when he saw Ryuumaru pointing at him with his hand. "Destructive art 90..." said Ryuumaru, "...Black Coffin" he continued, as he closed his eyes. "Nooooo!" screamed the prisoner when suddenly a large cube made of black energy appeared around the man's body! Everyone then stood and watched speechless for some seconds. After these seconds, the cube disappeared, and the prisoner was standing with his eyes closed. Just then, blood started spouting from the prisoner's entire body towards every direction, staining the clothes of some nearby Shinigamis red. The prisoner then fell on his knees while blood was still spouting from him, and then he dropped to the ground, and his blood formed a red lake around him. Everyone except Ryuumaru watched stunned, and many prisoners widened their eyes and sweat in terror. "Now, prisoners... please return to your cells" said Ryuumaru calmly, as he slowly opened his eyes and looked at some prisoners in the eyes. "Gugh!" said a prisoner who looked into Ryuumaru's eyes. Then the Shinigamis took the prisoners to their cells without facing any resistance. "Wow... lord Ryuumaru sure has his way of persuading people.." whispered Yamix to Seigi. "Heh. Of course he has" said Seigi, as he seemed to be smiling. Ryuumaru then looked at Yaiba. "Yaiba, how did the attack on ChaosPlanet go?" said Ryuumaru. "We were on our way to the target planet, but... we paused the attack when we saw you flying towards Soul Society" said Yaiba. "I see. So, nothing went as planned" said Ryuumaru. "M-My deepest apologies, my lord. I am sorry we have failed you. Should we attack now?" said Yaiba as he looked down. "No, never mind. The situation should be dealt better with a different battle plan anyway..." said Ryuumaru. "A new plan?" said Yaiba. "Yes. I will let you all know when it is finished. For now, let everyone rest for the day. They have been training all these days, so they deserve some rest" said Ryuumaru. "As you command" said Yaiba, as he bent before Ryuumaru. "Good. I will be at my office if you need me for anything" said Ryuumaru, and then he turned and walked to his castle. As he saw it, he remembered that it had been damaged badly when he got smashed on it with Mag. Then he turned around and said "Oh, and... get some Shinigamis to repair the castle". "Yes, my lord" said Yaiba. Then Ryuumaru walked to his castle, and went up to his office.

Two hours later, Ryuumaru heard someone knocking the door to his office. "Come on in" he said from the chair he was sitting, behind his desk. The door then opened and in came Rika. "Um, hi Ryuumaru" she said. "Ah, hello Rika" said Ryuumaru as he smiled. Rika then walked and sat on Ryuumaru's bed. "What's wrong, Rika? You look a little worried" said Ryuumaru, as he noticed that Rika indeed looked somehow troubled. "I was... wondering about you, Ryuumaru" said Rika, as she blushed a bit. "How are you doing?" she continued. "Me? I'm fine!" said Ryuumaru. "Really?" said Rika, as she looked into Ryuumaru's eyes. "Of course!" said Ryuumaru, as he closed his eyes and smiled. "Good! I thought you would be disappointed because things did not go as planned" said Rika, whose face turned a little happier. "Well..." said Ryuumaru, as he looked at his desk. He also had a more serious look in his face. "So many casualties are definitely not a good thing" he said. Then he looked at Rika and said "But I promise you. This will be over soon". "Okay, since you say so... I am sure everything will be fine!" said Rika. "It will all be back to normal in a few days..." said Ryuumaru and then he looked at a note book on his desk. "Uh, so, how strong was that ChaosLord guy?" said Rika. "He seemed very powerful. After all, not many can send someone flying from one planet to another" said Ryuumaru. Rika then put her hands in her mouth, as she looked at Ryuumaru with surprise. "W-was that why you were flying in space and hit Mag?" she said. "Yes. It was one of ChaosLord's attacks" said Ryuumaru. "Incredible! Did you attack him?" said Rika. "Not much. But he did look very tough. Although the few slashes I gave him are not enough to come to a final conclusion about his endurance, the fact that he was not even scratched shows that he has at least a huge defense" said Ryuumaru. "Not... even... scratched? Ryuumaru, I thought your sword could slash everything?" said Rika, looking worried. "Well... that ChaosLord is the leader of these machines, so it would be disappointing if he wasn't at least that strong" said Ryuumaru. "But... Is he... Invincible?" said Rika. "Don't worry, silly. Dragonaurus seemed invincible too..." said Ryuumaru. Rika thought about what Ryuumaru just said, and felt a little relieved. "That's true..." she said. "Exactly. Besides, there is no way even for ChaosLord to survive if I use... that attack..." said Ryuumaru. Rika smiled as she looked at Ryuumaru in the eyes. "Ryuumaru, you are so strong!" she said. "Heh" said Ryuumaru, smiling. Then he looked at his note book and thought of something. But then Rika interrupted him. "Ryuumaru..." she said. "Yes, what is it?" said Ryuumaru. "I'm sorry if I am interrupting you..." she said. "No, it's okay" said Ryuumaru. "See, I was just wondering... What happened to Rance?" she said. "Rance..." said Ryuumaru, as he looked up and took a deep breath. Then he looked at Rika and said "Rance is now an enemy. He controls a planet full of dragons, who, for some reason, obey him. From what ChaosLord said, I think he has taken the position of some previous "Dragon Master" who lived there before him, and so now he comands all the dragons" said Ryuumaru. "Incredible! Ryuumaru, what are we going to do? What if he attacks us?" said Rika. "Well, apparently, Rance seems to be more interested in Earth than out planet. Or perhaps Earth is only his forst step towards conquering the universe. Or maybe..." said Ryuumaru, as he had a thoughtful look. "What?" said Rika. "...maybe he just wanted to kill me, since he knew I would be on Earth. And then... take my place as the king of this place" said Ryuumaru. "This is terrible! If it is true, then he might come after you here!" said Rika. "Ah, don't worry about that, Rika. I have already come up with a solution in case this happens" said Ryuumaru. "Really? What is it, Ryuumaru?" said Rika. "Well... I am thinking of activating the Energy Orbs" said Ryuumaru. "Energy Orbs? I think I've heard of these, but... I've never seen them being used. I think they create a spirit energy shield around our planet?" said Rika. "Exactly. And it's not just a simple energy shield. That thing can hardly be penetrated by Dragonaurus's Golden Blast" said Ryuumaru. "Wow! Amazing!" said Rika, looking excited. "Yeah. In fact, I have already ordered Kuroi about half an hour ago to activate the energy shield" said Ryuumaru. "Great!" said Rika. "But..." she continued. "What?" said Ryuumaru. "I heard that Rance has a Dragonaurus too..." said Rika, as she looked at Ryuumaru. "Ah, yes, he does. So I guess you think he might be able to break the shield with Golden Blast, eh?" said Ryuumaru. Rika shook her head, implying a positive answer. "Well, in case that happens, I guess I will have to destroy his Dragonaurus myself. That way, he will not be able to enter our world without his Golden Blast" said Ryuumaru. "Mmm, okay" said Rika. "And what about Rance himself? I heard from Yaiba that he has gotten a lot stronger than before" she continued. "Indeed, he has. His spirit energy has increased dramatically for some reason, I didn't even recognize it when I first felt it. He is very much faster and stronger than before. And I hadn't battled for a long time, so he was actually able to surprise me. I will have to do some practice, otherwise Rance could cause me some trouble" said Ryuumaru. "So he really has gotten that strong?" said Rika. "Yeah" said Ryuumaru. "Come to think of it, I think he must also draw power from his sword..." thought Ryuumaru, when suddenly the telephone rang. "Oh, the telephone. Excuse me, Rika" said Ryuumaru."Sure" said Rika. Ryuumaru then picked up the telephone. A Shinigami gave him a report. "Ah-hah. So it's ready? Good" said Ryuumaru. Then he hanged up the phone. "Who was it, Ryuumaru?" said Rika. "It was Kuroi. The spirit energy shield is now active" said Ryuumaru. "Great! Now, what will you do next?" said Rika. "Wait here and you'll see" said Ryuumaru, as he picked up the phone again and called a number. "Yes, Yaiba? I need you to come here" he said, and then he hanged up the phone.

(Note: I have renamed the world which Ryuumaru rules from New World to Soul Society)
