The warrior entered the portal room with determination in his eyes. He looked around, seeing the beam of light in the center of the room and the control panels around it.

Finally… this ends today. He thought as he walked towards the controls.

No more User soldiers…

He drew his sword, ready to strike the controls. Just as his blade was about to make contact he stopped.

… I'm not alone.

He whirled around swinging his sword. His blade met with another's, that of a young woman with yellow eyes and armor with glowing circuits that matched.

"I wouldn't go breaking things that aren't yours." she hissed.

"I have my reasons to." he growled.

He jumped back, trying to attack her again. She reacted, blocking each swing of his sword. She was fast… very fast, but that wasn't going to stop him from completing his task.

They fought around the room, few cuts here and there but no fatal blow had been made. He was growing weary…

Now or never.

As they worked their way around the room again, he took a moment to throw her off guard and used it to smash the main control panel for the portal. The beam of light from the center of the room faded. The warrior grinned, knowing he had done what he needed to do.

The revolution begins now.

The woman tackled the warrior to the ground, pinning him, her sword at his neck.

"Now you've done it, you die now."

The warrior's grin didn't falter. "Do as you wish."

The woman hissed as she raised her sword to prepare the final blow she was going to make his chest. Before she could strike, there was a snapping of fingers that kept her from doing so.

"No need to kill him, Harmony."

Harmony lowered her sword, but didn't let the warrior go. The warrior looked to the side to see another man enter the room. His eyes narrowed as he recognized who he was. Anyone in Esanii knew who he was.

"Malus Cordis…" the warrior growled.

Malus grinned. "Glad to know my reputation is still strong, even among you Data Ninjas."

Malus looked over to the portal clicking his tongue. "How rude, you broke one of my toys… Oh well, I have enough User soldiers, don't need more."

"It'll end eventually Malus, you know it."

"I do, and when it does end… I'll be on top." Malus looked to Harmony. "I believe a message better be sent to the Data Children that resistance is futile, we'll use this warrior as one." he smirked. "You know what to do, my crown jewel."

Harmony nodded. She raised her sword, striking down the on the warrior's right arm. He screamed as his right arm broke off, disintegrating into crystals and disappearing.

Malus snickered as he snapped his fingers again. "Fletcher."

A young man with blue circuit armor like Malus' appeared behind him.

"Yes, sir?" he asked.

"Help Harmony drag this scum back outside to his Aquarca, I know for fact he has one, every last Data Ninja does."

Fletcher nodded, going over to Harmony and carrying the warrior out with her.

Malus looked at the portal again. "Hm… Bethany."

Another person appeared in the room. A young woman with pale green circuit armor.

"Yes?"

"How are our numbers in soldiers? Do we outnumber the Data Beings?"

"Yes, sir."

"Good… our portal is broken because of a warrior… Well looks like his effort was a lost cause."

Bethany got an uneasy look. "Actually… there is one problem sir."

"Hm?" Malus turned to her confused. "What?"

"We may outnumber them, but our soldiers still end up wounded. Our Virus soldiers are fine along with the corrupt Data Children soldiers… it's the User soldiers is where the worry is… the Data Healers we have have no idea how to treat Users and they need medical attention badly."

"I see… and your suggestion?"

"We need to bring in doctors from Earth… and with our portal broken it will be difficult."

Malus nodded. "True… but of course, we have another way in, it's just back on Esanii. We made this island so we could have no disruptions when transporting soldiers."

"I'm aware sir, we can transport them that way, it'll just be a bit more difficult if Data Warriors try breaking in, I'm not saying that will happen, but we know what that island is like… it just doesn't function the same way as a system does."

"Then we'll just prepare, be sure to get the best doctors." Malus smirked. "Of course… I'm sure you've already picked out who you will want to bring."

Bethany grinned. "Oh yes… and trust me when I say this… They are, the best of the best."
