Metal Face dropped gracefully into Makna Forest, crushing five trees as he went. His torso was covered in shadow, but the glowing ether in the eye-holes of his mask still seemed to shine with hate. Riki hopped out of the way of the crashing trees, grabbing and throwing Reyn his weapon off the ground. The 7 warriors got into battle positions, drawing weapons and dusting off armor.

Riki was the only one who noticed Dunban, his eyes to be specific. Dunban's vigilant brown eyes sunk into darkness, he was angry, depressed, filled with hate. His katana seemed to glow with the fiery emotions it's owner showed in it's eyes.

"Leave us Mumkhar, please. Your dead, leave us, don't let me see you again." Dunban said even quieter. Loneliness was written all over his face, on his trembling hands, and in his eyes. Loneliness was Dunban's only emotion, until anger filled him once more, this time fiercer then ever.

"Why won't you leave us? Why won't you die?!" Dunban screamed. He charged, and aimed his katana in the middle of the Mechon's stomach, he longed to put another hole through his torso.

This time, Melia saw what was wrong, "Dunban!" She yelled reaching out as if she could catch him as he fell into the Mechon, as if being swallowed by darkness.

Dunban fell into Metal Face, right into the hole that was stabbed into the broken mechon a week ago. He looked down, and for the first time since The Battle of Sword Valley, Dunban fell unconscious.

Reyn was running straight for Metal Face at full speed, he wasn't thinking, or looking, just running. He wouldn't let the Mechon fly off with Dunban inside, or anyone for that matter. Shulk, Sharla,Riki,Fiora, all followed him, maybe ten steps behind, breathing harshly. Melia stayed behind, firing ether blasts like mad, each avoided by Metal Face. The next series of events happened as Metal Face was lifting off the ground.

1st meter off the ground: Reyn jumped and clung onto the ankle of Metal Face.

2nd meter off the ground: Reyn climbed up to Metal Face's torso, promptly falling into the gaping hole where Dunban lay unconscious.

3rd meter off the ground: Reyn landed inside the Mechon with a squish, and fainted.

4th meter off the ground: Metal Face's damaged engines kicked in, and he flew off, with Reyn and Dunban inside.

"REYN!"

Shulk reached out to the Mechon. There was no way a dead man could have stolen two of his friends, his idols. It wasn't possible, Mumkhar was dead. Shulk stopped running after the Mechon and sat down in the grass, squishing Sickleberries as he slammed his head into the wet grass. How could both of them go into a hole in Metal Face's chest and faint? Why did that particular spot cause fainting, was it poison, a concussion? What could be so horrific that they would both lean over and faint in the exact same place? Shulk pulled at his hair in anger, searching his mind for any possible ways that was...

The reason hit Shulk like a brick. Mumkhar was dead, he died inside the suit. The suit must have been remote-controlled, no one could pilot the Mechon physically, the controls were stabbed when Metal Face was stabbed a week ago. The reason, Shulk concluded, that two strong men fell unconscious in the exact same place, was that they had both jumped and landed on the stinking, rotting remains of the former friend and mentor, Mumkhar.

Ok!
