"Get back here you traitor!" Darkonda yelled out, in pursuit of an unknown person down a corridor.

"You can run, but you can't hide!" Darkonda yelled out as he continued his pursuit.

Meanwhile, on down the corridor, there is a shadowy figure rushing down the hall and panting.

"Stop!" Darkonda demanded, the shadowy figure appears to obey, but then fires a blast of energy at the villain.

"Ahh!" Darkonda cried out as he fell backwards onto the floor.

"Quantons!" Darkonda yelled out as the mystery person continued to run.

Darkonda manages to struggle to his feet as the Quantons arrive on the scene.

"After him!" Darkonda commanded the grunts.

"He must not be allowed to escape!" Darkonda yelled.

The Quantons rush down the hall, unaware the mystery person has found a hiding place in a dark room

The mystery person steps out of the dark room to reveal a tall robotic being with green highlights running down his body.

"I must warn Astronema." Ecliptor said softly, still gasping for air. He steps out into the highway and is greeted by Darkonda.

"Hello, Ecliptor!"

"Darkonda!" Ecliptor yelled, assuming a defense posture.

"What's your problem?" Darkonda asks, but gets no response.

"What kind of a question is that?" Ecliptor replied as he began to take a few steps back, preparing to draw his sword.

"What's the matter... I thought we were friends!"

"You're no friend of mine, Darkonda!"

"Oh, really! Hmm... It sounds like I need to give you another attitude adjustment!" Darkonda said, as he pulled a type of drill out of his pocket.

"No! I won't let you do that to me again!" Ecliptor replied as he took a step back with each one he took.

"You don't have a choice in the matter!" Darkonda said as he continued to walk towards Ecliptor.

"When I'm done with you, I'll do the same to Astronema!" Darkonda said, getting closer.

On the end of this note, Ecliptor suddenly and swiftly draws his sword.

"You touch her, and I'll destroy you myself!" Ecliptor warned.

"You, destroy me?! That's a laugh!" Darkonda said in a mocking tone of voice.

"Go ahead, destroy me! I'll just come back to life!"

"You don't have the guts!"

"I'm warning you..."

"You're pathetic!" Darkonda said as he finally reached Ecliptor and flicked him aside like a bug with his arm.

"Ah!" Ecliptor yelled as he hit the wall and sunk down to the floor.

"Now Ecliptor... just relax... Oh, and this hurts, a lot!" Darkonda said as he knelt over Ecliptor with the drill.

"Uh... No!"

"Hahahahahaha!" Darkonda laughed as he got closer and closer.

Suddenly, Ecliptor's eyes lat up, and fired a green spectrum of energy at Darkonda.

"Ahh... No!... Ahhh!" Darkonda screamed as the blast blew him through the wall. Meanwhile Ecliptor is able to stumble to his feet.

"Let that be a lesson to you, Darkonda!" Ecliptor said as he approached the hole in the wall.

"Ah!" Darkonda yelled out as he ran out of the area where he'd just been blown with his sword at the ready.

"Ah!" Ecliptor yelled in surprise, as he was nearly sliced in two by Darkonda. Fortunately, he was able to block him with his sword.

"I'm going to enjoy slicing and dicing you!"

"And I'm going to enjoy ripping you apart, piece by worthless little piece!

"Ha! We'll see!"

"So we shall!"

On the end of this note, the two combatants engage in a sword fight, and a fierce one at that. Darkonda swings his sword, but misses. Ecliptor does the same thing and also misses. Darkonda swings his sword and manages to strike Ecliptor, sending sparks flying.

"Ah!" Ecliptor yelled out in pain as he grabbed his side.

"You're a weakling!"

"I beg to differ! Ahhhh! Ecliptor yells as he rushes Darkonda to the corner of the wall.

"Let go of me!"

"Make me!" Ecliptor replied.

"I said let go, you worthless bucket of bolts!" Darkonda demanded as he kicked Ecliptor hard in the stomach.

"Ah!" Ecliptor yelled out in agonizing pain as he collapsed to the floor.

"What's the matter? Did I hurt you?"

"Uh!"

"Take it like a man!" Darkonda said as he grabbed Ecliptor's hand and forced him to his feet.

Ecliptor counters and grabs Darkonda's hand.

"Let go!"

"If you insist!" Ecliptor said as he released his grip and struck him with his sword causing Darkonda to tumble across the floor.

"I'm not done yet!" Darkonda said in a angry tone of voice as he quickly stumbled back on to his feet.

"Neither am I!"

On the end of this note, the two combatants charge at each other with they're swords drawn, they pass each other as sparks fly. The two seem to be both fine at first, as they both maintain a standing position, after a second, Ecliptor falls to the floor.

"Uh!" Ecliptor yells as he falls to the floor in pain, arches of electricity flowing through his body.

"Ha! That was too easy!"

"Now to finish it!" But before he can finish off Ecliptor, arches of electricity begins to flow through his body, apparently he was struck too.

"Uh! What the?"

"What was that you said about me being weak?" Ecliptor said, suddenly back on his feet.

"Uhh!" Darkonda yells as he plummets to the floor.

"This isn't over, in fact... This is just the beginning." Darkonda said as he pushed a switch connected to some sort of watch looking device. This activates a beeping sound.

"Huh? What are you doing?"

"Ha! They're on their way! Any minute now, this place will be crawling with Quantons!"

"Ah! I've got to get out of here!"

"Run all you like, Ecliptor. You can't escsape! And neither can Astronema!" Darkonda said, his voice echoing down the corridor.

Ecliptor continues to make his way down the hall, running down corridor after corridor, that there was seemingly no end to. Turning to his right, Ecliptor is suddenly greeted by Quantons.

"Ah!" Ecliptor yelled as drew his sword and started fighting them. He delivers a slash to the stomach of one of them that sends sparks flying, punches another one hard in the stomach, delivers a back kick to one that sends it colliding with the wall, and swiftly strikes them all with his sword in slow motion, sending sparks flying all over the place.

"You guys are too easy. Now then, time to get out of here" Ecliptor said as stepped over the bodies and headed for the exit.

Meanwhile in another part of the corridor.

"General... he's escaped, shall we give chase?" A Quanton asked Darkonda.

"No... Let him run, it's too late anyway. He can't stop us."

"After all... He's just one person, hahahahahahahahaha!" Darkonda laughed as she he spun the drill he was holding earlier.
