It had been one year since Ethan died, and Keonde announced that he would be invading. Up on Guardian Fluete's Lookout, Masmik, Miko, Sayaka, Evan, Ayumi, and Sileanic were all ready to go take on Keonde and Bella, or so they thought. Guardian Fluete wished them luck, and down onto the Earth they flew to go face the Demon King himself. Down on Earth, Keonde and Bella stood in the middle of a wasteland of dirt and small rock mountains, waiting for the fighters to arrive. Bella looked completely different now. She now had a dark-red scar going over her left eye, and she had a hardened face. She wore the same outfit as Keonde, with the same symbol. Her hair was now very short, too, going down only to the top of the back of her neck.

Keonde stood over Bella, his arms folded over his chest. Bella meditated on the ground, her eyes closed. She was sensing her surroundings.

"... They'll be here soon." Bella said. "It's sad; they're all coming to face their inevitable deaths." Bella said. Keonde chuckled.

"And this is why I decided to train you. I like your style, kid." He said. Suddenly, Keonde quickly jerked his head up towards the sky, his eyes widening. Bella got up, and stared in the same direction as him, a look of disbelief on her face.

"It couldn't be… Their powers couldn't have increased THIS much!" Keonde shouted.

They squinted their eyes, and they could see one - no, two - no, three strange objects coming into sight. They appeared to be white, spherical hunks of metal. They had caught aflame, and they were hurdling down to Earth at high speeds.

"Stay on guard, Bella! This could be one of their tricks I was telling you about!" Keonde shouted. The objects got closer, and closer, until it seemed as if they were going to crash land right on top of them. Keonde quickly grabbed Bella, and he hightailed it a few hundred feet away as fast as he could. The three objects slammed into the ground, causing a loud explosion-like noise to echo around the wasteland. The objects hit with such force that they created three huge craters in the ground.

The entire area was covered over with dust, and Bella and Keonde could sense three high powers from the strange objects. Behind Keonde and Bella landed all of the Earth's fighters, ready for combat. All except for Ethan and Everin, that is.

"Keonde. We've come to put a stop to you and…" Evan began. But he saw that neither Keonde nor Bella paid attention to them, but instead were staring at the strange three objects. They could all sense the high powers from the objects, too. Keonde signaled Bella to follow him, and they walked to the edge of one of the craters. About fifty feet down was a large, white, spherical pod of sorts. There was a red-tinted window, too. Slowly, the pod's door began opening downwards, smoke coming out as it opened. Then, simultaneously from all three craters, three figures rose into the air, and slowly hovered over to the warriors that now stood in front of them.

One of the men, the weakest of the three of them, was about 5'9", and Humanoid. Actually, they were all Humanoid. He had a large black afro, and yellow eyes. His skin was pale, and he wore a strange device on his face. It had a white piece that went over his ear, and a a green lens over his left eye, with a red button on the center of the white piece. He also wore a strange outfit that looked like a spaceman's armor of some sort. He wore white gloves and white boots, and dark-blue spandex underneath the armor, which consisted of strange bronze shoulderpads that seemed to point upwards slightly, and bronze leg guards, and a bronze crotch guard; and there was also a bronze guard that went slightly over his stomach. The rest of the armor, on the sides of his stomach and on his chest, was white, and there were lines that clearly outlined his chest.

Wrapped around his waist was a golden, ape-like tail, just like Ethan had. The man whose power was in the middle of the other two was very short, about 5'2", and he had long, spiky hair that seemed to have a greenish tint to it. His eyes were light-blue, and he had a black goatee. He had the same device over his left eye as the other man, but his device was turquoise instead. He also worse the same armor, but instead of bronze guards and shoulderpads, they were silver. He also had a golden tail wrapped around his waist, and although he was short, his muscles were huge, and he was ripped.

The third, and definitely most powerful man was about 6'0" tall. His hair was spiky, but not upwards, more spiky to the left side, and dark-brown. He had some long bangs growing over his face, too. His eyes were dark-purple, and over his right eye, there has a large, dark-red scar, as well as a scar over his left cheek. His eye-device had red lens, and instead of silver armor, he had golden armor. He also had the same tail as the other two. The three stood in front of everybody, large smirks on their faces.

"It seems like we have a welcoming party…" The short one said.

"Indeed we do, Kabaj." The man with golden armor spoke.

"Prince Riken, what shall we do?" The man with the bronze armor spoke.

"Well, Karrot… We talk to them." Prince Riken responded.

Keonde gritted his teeth together, a few drops of sweat running down his forehead. He could sense their evil intentions, and he could sense how much stronger they were than him.

"Hey Karrot, use your Scouter on these guys and get a reading." Kabaj said. Karrot nodded. He pressed the read button on his Scouter, and it began beeping. Then, yellow symbols and numbers came up on his Scouter.

"The blue one has a Power Level of 1'406. The little girl has a Power Level of 1'203. The pale one with the moustache has a Power Level of 912. The woman with the strange shell on her back has a Power Level of 1'004. The man with the long, black hair has a Power Level of 1'106. The man with the short black hair has a Power Level of 1'202. The last guy has a Power Level of 916. And the woman has a Power Level of 902. Not bad for what this planet's average Power Level is - 5." Karrot said.

Keonde clenched both of his fists tightly, a drop of sweat running down his forehead. He felt something odd… Was it, perhaps, fear? No; a Demon King can't feel fear, can he?

"Who are you, and why are you here?" Keonde asked. Prince Riken closed his eyes, and chuckled.

"That is Karrot, my left-hand man… That is Kabaj, my right-hand man… And I am Prince Riken, prince of the Rykens… We are here for two reasons… The first reason is because I am looking for my half-brother, Kyabetsu, who was sent year about… twenty-five years ago to take over this planet. Secondly, rumors have been spreading across the universe that this planet has magical spheres known as Lizard Spheres, which can grant any wish you may have. So, if you could hand both of them over, I'd really appreciate that." Riken explained.

All of the heroes exchanged looks and glances, unsure of who Kyabetsu was. But they knew that they weren't going to hand over the Lizard Spheres as easily as the Rykens wanted them to.

"What are you planning on using the Lizard Spheres for?" Sayaka asked. Riken then suddenly began laughing loudly.

"I'm going to use them to wish for immortality! I will rule the universe!" He shouted. Sayaka frowned.
"I'm afraid we can't allow you to do that." She said. "And as for this Kyabetsu you were talking about, I have no clue who he is."

Riken's laugh stopped, and he began frowning. The words that had just come out of Sayaka's mouth disgusted him, yet excited him.

"So, it appears to me that we're going to have a fight on our hands then?" Riken asked.

"If that's what will make you leave, then yes." Sayaka said.

"Here's how this is going to work… I'll send Karrot in to fight one of your fighters, and whoever loses the ability to battle is the loser. We will keep going until all of the fighters on one said are unable to battle." He said. Sayaka thought about it, and although she didn't want to agree to his rules, she did, because they'd have a better chance of winning that way.

Karrot took a few steps forward, cracking his knuckles and neck. He chuckled.

"So, which one of you puny Humans is going to fight against me?" He asked arrogantly. Miko stepped forward.

"I will. I'm not afraid of you." He said. Karrot chuckled. Miko stepped forward, and everybody else stepped back, leaving an open battlefield for the two fighters. They stared at each other, waiting for the other to do the first move. Karrot reached up, and grabbed his Scouter, taking it off of his head. He tossed it to Kabaj, who caught it, and held on to it.

"... I hope you're not too overconfident. I might surprise you." Miko said. Karrot simply chuckled again.

Then, without hesitation, Miko began running forward towards Karrot, both of his fists clenched. He sent a quick punch towards him, but Karrot dodged it. He sent his knee towards Miko, and Miko caught it, and pushed off into the sky, launching himself up into the air. Karrot watched his every movement. Miko did a summersault in the air, and then forced his body downwards, attempting to slam down onto Karrot's head. Karrot caught one of his feet with his right arm, and slammed Miko down into the ground. He then jumped up, and slammed down onto his chest. The sound of bones cracking could be heard from Miko's chest. He groaned in pain, but he wasn't done yet. Karrot attempted to slam down onto his chest again, but Miko did a log-roll to the left, dodging it.

He extended his right arm up towards Karrot, his palm facing him and his fingers spread out, and he shot a small, yellow Ki Beam towards him. It hit Karrot in the face, and a cloud of smoke surrounded his head for a moment, giving Miko the chance to spring up, and kick him right in the chest. Karrot was sent a few feet backwards, but he regained his footing, and began charging back towards Miko. He violently swung his left fist towards him, hitting him right in the head, sending him flying into the distance, and then he disappeared from his spot, and appeared behind Miko, sending an elbow into his chest to send him slamming down into the ground.

Miko hit the ground, and dust kicked up, and the sound of attacks clashing could be heard from within the dust. When the dust cleared, Miko and Karrot could be seen clashing their attacks at inhuman speeds, but it was apparent that Karrot was landing twice as many blows as Miko was. After a few minutes of clashing, Karrot disappeared, and appeared behind Miko. He sent a roundhouse kick into his back, sending him flying hundreds of feet away. However, Miko had a trick up his sleeve. He turned his body so that his chest was facing up, and he picked his head up to look at Karrot.

"Kamehameha Ring!" He shouted. He opened his mouth, and a blue energy ball began forming, letting out a humming noise.

Sayaka looked shocked. She'd invented the Kamehameha years ago, but she'd never seen a variation like Miko was attempting. The blue energy ball grew bigger, and bigger the longer he waited. Then, he rolled his head in a circle, seemingly forcing the blue energy ball to draw a bright blue ring of energy. He also began charging a Kamehameha Wave with his hands. The blue ring of energy grew bigger, and bigger, until finally, Miko saw it as big enough. He blew onto the ring with his mouth, and it began rushing towards Karrot.

"I'm not falling for your cheap trick!" Karrot shouted, smirking.

The Kamehameha Ring swerved towards him, and Karrot swung his right arm outwards to try and deflect it, but as soon as his arm was to make contact with it, it flew up into the air, and it expanded. It then surrounded his body at about his waist, trapping his arms to his body. He had a shocked look on his face.

"Wh-What the?! What kind of technique is this?!" He shouted. Miko was still flying backwards from Karrot's attack. He turned his body around, so he was facing away from Karrot, still charging the Kamehameha Wave in his hands. He was flying towards a huge rock pillar, and he was going to hit it within the next few seconds. But, before he hit it, he thrusted his arms outwards, and released the Kamehameha Wave towards the rock. It slammed into it, and it had just enough force to begin pushing his body back towards Karrot.

Karrot still had a shocked look on his face, but it began to shift to a worried look.

"Wh-Wha?! Wha?! No, No! Karrot can't be defeated - Not like this!" He shouted. Miko's body was going faster, and faster as his Kamehameha Wave continued being shot. Eventually, he stopped shooting it, as his body had enough momentum, and he turned back around as he closed in on Karrot. Then, after a few more seconds of soaring towards Karrot, he put both of his arms out, like Superman would fly, and he slammed into Karrot, and both of them went flying towards huge rock pillars. They crashed through several before Miko was slowed down, and he did a few backflips away from Karrot.

The ring around Karrot's body began glowing a golden color, and it suddenly lifted from his body, and manifested into a large Ki Beam, and shot up into the air.

"Scatter Kamehameha!" Miko shouted. He extended both arms into the air, and then swung them downwards. The golden Kamehameha Wave suddenly split apart into seven different Kamehamehas, and they all collided with Karrot, exploding upon impact. Dust kicked up into the air, and everybody's jaws dropped. They had no idea that Miko had developed such a powerful technique during training.

"That was amazing, Miko!" Evan shouted.

"You have to teach that to me sometime." Sayaka said. Miko extended his right arm up into the air, and displayed his fingers into a peace sign.

He seemed proud of himself for the smooth victory he just achieved. Keonde watched in disbelief. Him and Bella stood a few feet behind everyone else. They considered themselves last resorts for the battle.

"He's not done." Bella whispered to Keonde.

"Are you sure about that?" Keonde asked. Bella pointed to the cloud of smoke, showing Keonde the shadowy figure that could barely be seen. The shadowy figure swung his arm as if swatting at something, and a thin line of yellow Ki, almost unnoticeable if not paying attention, began cutting through the air towards Miko.

"Miko! You fool! Look out!" Keonde shouted. Miko turned around, and before he could even react, he was struck by the attack, which cut his body into two, right there and then. He was cut at an angle, from his left shoulder down to his waist, his legs were cut right off.

The two halves of Miko's body fell in opposite directions. Sayaka shrieked in horror, and began running over to Miko's side. She knelt by him, and grabbed his hand with both of her's.

"Miko! Are you still with me?! Please, say something!" She shouted at him. She was now kneeling in the same pool of blood that Miko was laying in. Miko's vision was blurred, and he could barely see Sayaka. He smiled lightly, though.

"... Sensei… I think… I'm dead…" He whispered. Sayaka closed her eyes, and shook her head in disbelief. She'd first witnessed her teacher die, and now her student. Miko chuckled a bit, and with the last of his energy, he spoke:

"Tell Ethan… I said… Sor...ry…"

Miko's eyes closed, and his head dropped to the ground, and his life-force completely vanished. Sayaka rose up off of the ground in anger, as a huge blue aura surrounded her body, spiralling up into the sky like a beam of light. Her power began rising exponentially. The blue shell on her back fell off onto the ground, and it shattered. Her body began visibly throbbing, and veins protruded on her arms and legs. She began growling in anger, and muttering some things that nobody quite understood. Her muscles tightened, and suddenly, her body became three times bigger, as she expanded her muscles outwards! Her voice became noticeably deeper, and almost sounded mutated.

Kabaj's Scouter began beeping, along with Riken's, and Karrot's Scouter, which he held in his hand. The beeping continued, and Karrot's Scouter shattered in his hand.

"2'000… 2'500… 2'700… 3'000…" Kabaj said, as Sayaka's power continuously increased. She extended her arms out, and quickly pulled them to her side. A bright blue energy ball began forming within her hands, shining brightly across the wasteland.

"Ka Me Ha Me…!" She shouted, her voice seemingly echoing. The dust cleared in Karrot's area, and he was visibly damaged. His armor had holes in it, and his spandex also had holes in it, revealing his skin. Blood was running down his arms, legs, and face, and he had dirt marks all over. He looked furious.

Karrot slowly began walking towards Sayaka, his face full of fury.

"Go on, get angry, see if I care! In the end, you're nothing but a pitiful Human! You're weak compared to me, got it?! My Power Level is 2'500! Your Power Level is barely over a thousand! I'll kill you, just like I just killed that failure!" Karrot screamed.
"... That failure? That "failure" was my student… And one of my best friends… I'll never forgive you… NEVER!" Sayaka screamed. She thrusted her arms outwards, releasing her blue energy ball into a huge mass of blue Ki towards Karrot.

"HAAAAA!" She screamed. Karrot extended both arms outwards, and took the attack head-on. He tried pushing it back at Sayaka, but the attack was too strong for him.

Riken's eyes widened. In his eyes, Sayaka had just cheated. He extended his right arm out, one finger pointing towards Sayaka. He focused, and then shot a tiny, purple energy beam towards Sayaka, which pierced through her heart just as her Kamehameha Wave exploded. Dust kicked up everywhere, and wind blew in every direction, forcing the dust to surround the entire battlefield.

"The fool!" Keonde shouted. Everything and everyone fell silent, as the dust cleared the entire battlefield. Sayaka stood, her arms outwards. She was panting. Her muscles returned to normal, as did her power, and as soon as her power went to normal, her body fell forward, the tiny hole in her chest seeping out blood. Her life-force was entirely gone. She was dead.

Where Karrot was was now pieces of his bronze and white armor laying in a crater. There was no sign of his actual physical being. He'd been completely annihilated. Masmik glared at Riken.

"Why the heck would you kill her like that?! What happened to one-versus-one?!" He shouted. Riken glared back at him.

"She cheated. The match wasn't officially declared over, and she jumped in to avenge her friend, so as a result, she joined him in another dimension." He explained. Masmik growled.

"I'll fight next. I have faith in myself that I can defeat your… Midget." He said. Kabaj clenched his fists together tightly, glaring at Masmik.

He took his Scouter off, and handed it to Riken, his body trembling with immense rage.

"Who are you calling a midget?! Look at me - I'm more ripped than you'll ever be, Human! Because of that, I think I'm going to enjoy pulverizing you!" Kabaj shouted. The two stepped forward from the sidelines, both having their fists clenched, both ready to face one another in battle. Masmik began to take a step, but Kabaj was much faster than he anticipated. It appeared as if Kabaj took a step, and appeared in front of him out of nowhere. Kabaj sent several jabs into Masmik, and then sent a hard punch right into his stomach.

Masmik hadn't even fully been on guard. He was surprised. He took a few steps back, and then realized exactly what he needed for the battle. He closed his eyes, and began concentrating. His body was engulfed with a light blue aura, and his right hand shot out a long, sharp sword. He opened his eyes, and his pupils had completely faded, and both of his irises were the same color as his sword and aura.

"... Is this a trick?" Kabaj asked. Riken pressed a button on his Scouter, and scanned Masmik's Power Level.

"No, Kabaj. The Scouter reads 5'600… His power has increased. I've seen something like this before… I believe it's called Spirit Energy." Riken said.

"That's right. But you forgot to add one part to that: This is the same Spirit Energy that's going to defeat the both of you!" Masmik shouted.

Riken smirked, and chuckled. He shook his head.

"It's good to believe in yourself, but it's not good to be optimistic; it's better if you look at it from a realistic point of view. You're all going to die." He said. Masmik then lunged forward towards Kabaj, and threw his fist towards Kabaj's chest. Kabaj was sent flying into the distance, but he regained his footing, and began charging towards Masmik again. Masmik began throwing a series of punches towards Kabaj, and he didn't defend against any of them. He groaned with every punch that landed, and it appeared as if he was getting dominated.

Bella folded her arms over her chest, and shook her head.
"What a fool… He's too overconfident. That Ryken could have a trick up his sleeve." Bella said. Keonde looked down at her.

"Do you think so?" He asked. Bella shook her head.

"No. I know so." She responded back. Masmik continued beating on Kabaj. It was amusing to him.

"So, who's the stronger one now, huh?" Masmik asked. Kabaj growled.

"Sh-Shut your mouth, Human!" He shouted back at him. Masmik kneed Kabaj in the stomach, and then lifted his leg up, and slammed the heel of his foot down on Kabaj's back, slamming him down into the ground below.

Masmik kicked Kabaj in the side, forcing him to roll over to stare at him. He laughed in Kabaj's face.

"Okay. This fight has gone on long enough. It's time to end this." He said. He aimed his arm down at Kabaj's neck, his shiny Ki Blade pointing straight down at him. He brought his arm up, and then swung it downwards, ready to slice Kabaj's head right off, but he put his arm up, and somehow blocked Masmik's Ki Blade. When Masmik's Ki Blade collided with Kabaj's arm, it shattered into pieces, the Ki that shattered off of his hand disappearing. Masmik gasped, and then took a few steps back.

"N-No! It's impossible! Wh-What are you?! There's no way you could just destroy my Spirit Energy like that!" Masmik shouted.

Kabaj picked himself up off of the ground, and wiped the dirt off of his armor. Masmik's aura was fading in and out, and his Ki Blade was half gone. Kabaj slowly began walking towards Masmik, a face full of rage and hatred staring directly at him. Masmik took a few steps back, and it looked like he was actually afraid.

"What's wrong? I thought you said you were going to kill me with your "Spirit Energy"... Not so tough now that I shattered that sword, are you?" Kabaj said. Masmik threw a punch forward towards Kabaj, who dodged it. He hovered up into the air, and grabbed Masmik by his neck. He began choking him with one hand. Masmik tried to say something, but he couldn't, because Kabaj was squeezing too hard.

Kabaj then brought his other arm up, and wrapped it around Masmik's neck, squeezing even harder. Masmik squirmed, and tried kicking and flailing his arms towards Kabaj multiple times, but to no avail. Kabaj gritted his teeth, and continued squeezing Masmik's neck. On the sidelines, Sileanic clenched his fists tightly. He couldn't take it any longer. He began flying as fast as he could towards Kabaj. Masmik's body fell limp in Kabaj's arms, and his eyes rolled into the back of his head. He was dead. He removed one arm from his neck, and extended it out towards Sileanic when he was only a few feet away from him. Sileanic couldn't stop himself, and he flew right into Kabaj's hand, Kabaj's hand going right through his body.

Sileanic gasped, and spit out blood. Kabaj grabbed his beating heart inside of his chest, and forcefully ripped it out. Sileanic's body also went limp, and his life-force disappeared. His body fell onto the ground next to Kabaj, and Kabaj let go of Masmik, his body also falling limp in front of him. Evan's eyes widened at the sight of his best friend dying.

"SILEANIC!" He screamed. He began running towards Kabaj as quickly as he could. Kabaj took Sileanic's heart in his hand, and threw it like a baseball towards Evan. Evan stepped to the side, and dodged the heart, but it curved, and hurdled towards Ayumi.

Evan focused on Kabaj, however. Getting hit with a heart couldn't heart anything. But he heard an explosion from behind him, and heard Ayumi's scream. He halted, and turned around, and saw that somehow, Kabaj had forced the heart to explode. Dust filled the entire area, and when it cleared, Ayumi was no more. Her body was completely blown to smithereens. Bella's eyes widened. Evan walked over to where Ayumi was, and he fell to his knees, trying to hold back the tears. Bella unfolded her arms, and began trembling, her body full of sadness and anger. Sure, she'd grown to liking Keonde, but Ayumi birthed her - Ayumi was her mother, and Evan was her father. She loved them.

Riken's Scouter began beeping, and he saw that Bella's power was rising.

"... 2'000… 2'800… Wait, no, it's spiking… 5'900… No; 8'000… 8'000?! KABAJ, WATCH OUT! THAT LITTLE GIRL IS HIDING HER TRUE POWER!" Riken shouted. He glared at Bella, who had her eyes squeezed shut. She was mumbling something under her breath as she began slowly walking towards Kabaj. Kabaj was serious the entire time, not daring mock Bella. She approached him, and stood in front of him. When she opened her eyes, she had done it - she had begun to use the Kurēn'ai technique. She growled loudly.

"What's up with your eyes? You freak." Kabaj said. Without a word, Bella sent her foot straight up into the air, connecting it to Kabaj's jaw. He fell backwards onto the ground. Bella walked over to him, and placed a foot on top of his chest.

She extended her right arm downwards towards his body, and began charging a dark-purple energy ball. As the energy charged, she used her other arm to grab Kabaj by his right arm, and throw him into the air. She rose up, chasing after him, and began sending a fury of punches and kicks into his body, using one arm, of course, since her other one was charging the strange energy ball. After a while, Kabaj slowly began falling back down towards the Earth because of gravity, and she floated, watching him fall. Then, she aimed towards his body, a huge, dark-purple energy ball floating in front of her.

"Death Kikoho." She muttered. The large energy ball shot downwards towards Kabaj, and made contact with him, exploding, kicking dust up everywhere. Keonde and Evan both looked amazed at Bella's power with the Kurēn'ai.

Bella descended from the air, and landed on the ground, and slowly began walking towards Kabaj. Kabaj got onto his hands and knees, his armor now destroyed, laying as bits and pieces on the ground, burn marks, and blood stains all over from his body, which smoke now rose from.

"I know your kind. You think you can do anything you desire. You think you can take from me what's most important and get away with it. Well, you're wrong." Bella spoke, in a calm, yet infuriated tone. Kabaj attempted to get up, but Bella slammed her foot down onto his head, forcing him to smack down into the ground again. She extended her arm down again towards Kabaj, and began charging the purple energy ball once more.

"This time, I'll make sure you don't survive." She said. Kabaj growled, and began squirming, but her power was too much for him. The purple energy ball got bigger, and bigger, until it faded, and she grabbed her head in pain.

Evan's eyes widened. He knew what was happening. Bella stumbled backwards, and then fell down onto the ground.

"The Kurēn'ai… It's run out… She's too small to withstand it long…" Evan said. Keonde glared at Kabaj, almost as if daring him to make a move. Kabaj got up, and staggered over to Bella. He reached down, and grabbed her leg, and picked her up, and then slammed her down into the ground repeatedly. Her screams of pain were heard echoing throughout the land. Keonde roared loudly, his deep voice stopping everything.

He grabbed his head in pain, as veins protruded from all over his body. His pupils faded from his eyes, and his eyes began glowing bright red. His ears seemed to move upwards, and they transformed into sharp horns on his head. His muscles began to expand outwards, ripping his clothing. His head became more round, and he grew many more fangs, which now stuck out of his mouth. His hands and feet became sharper, like claws, and he grew larger due to his muscle expansion. His body took on a translucent look, and all over, he grew dark-blue crystalline objects.

"His Power Level is 7'000… And it appears as if he's… A Frosakian." Riken said. Kabaj noticed Keonde's transformation, and dropped Bella onto the ground.

Keonde roared out in anger, and slowly began walking towards Kabaj. Kabaj clenched his fists, and he did the same exact thing as Sayaka, basically, roaring as his power and body mass increased. He was now about the same size as Keonde, and they both launched off of the ground and began running towards each other. They both sent a heavy punch towards one another, their punches colliding in the middle of them, creating a shockwave over the entire land, forcing some rock pillars in the distance to shatter into tiny pebbles. Keonde gritted his fangs, glaring at Kabaj with his serious, red eyes.

"... Don't you EVER touch her again!" Keonde shouted. Kabaj got a large smirk on his face, and began laughing.

"Once I'm done with you, I'm going to slaughter her in cold blood!" Kabaj screamed.

Keonde's eyes narrowed, and he roared out again. They both, at the same time, sent their knees upwards, and their knees slammed into each other. They pulled back, and slammed their knees against each other again, staring angrily into one other's eyes.

"You're not going to make it past me!" Keonde shouted. Kabaj laughed in his face.

"Your fantasy is childish! So unrealistic! Now… You… Die!" Kabaj shouted. They both did a backflip backwards, and they stared at each other. Keonde disappeared, and appeared behind Kabaj, and roundhouse kicked him in the back, sending him flying hundreds of feet into the distance. He ran after him.

Evan rushed over to Bella's side, who was unconscious on the ground. He scooped her up in his arms, and rocked her back and forth slowly.

"Just rest… It'll all be okay, sweetheart… We'll defeat the bad guys soon…" He whispered. Bella's eyes shot open, and she glared at Evan, blinking a few times.

"Put me down, foolish Human." She said. Evan shook his head.

"Your my daughter… Why would I do that?" He asked. Bella frowned.

"I'm no daughter of such a weak man such as yourself…" Bella said. She slammed her head into Evan's head, forcing him to put her down, and she began sprinting over to help Keonde.

Keonde and Kabaj were fighting on par, and Kabaj was beginning to get irritated. He kicked Keonde, and backed up a few feet.

"This is it… You're done!" He shouted. He opened his mouth, and a small, orange energy ball began forming, specks of orange energy gathering in front of his mouth.

"... Super… Kamikaze… Ball…" He said. Keonde's eyes widened. Kabaj was going to do something stupid, he could feel it. The energy ball slowly began growing, and Keonde knew that if he allowed him to charge the attack, he wouldn't live to regret his decision.

He rushed forward, and sent his fist into Kabaj's stomach. Kabaj hunched over, the energy ball disappearing, his eyes wide. He looked down, and saw Keonde's fist lodged into his stomach, having somehow broken through part of his armor. He could also feel something cold on his stomach. Suddenly, a small sheet of ice began rising up Kabaj's body. He couldn't believe it: Keonde had just somehow froze him. The ice engulfed the armor that Kabaj wore, and he felt a chill go through his body. His skin turned light-blue quickly, and he growled. As the sheet of ice slowly made its way up to Kabaj's head, he glared at Keonde.

"This… Isn't… Over…" He muttered, before his entire body was covered in the sheet of ice. Then, the ice expanded, and before he knew it, Kabaj was frozen solid in a huge block of ice.

Keonde panted, and he slowly shrunk down to his normal form, his power depleting. He removed his fist from Kabaj, and took a few steps back. Bella stopped in her tracks, staring at Keonde with a large smile on her face.
"Good job, Sensei! I knew you could do it!" Bella shouted.

"... You've killed both of my men… Do you understand what you've done? DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'VE DONE?!" Riken screamed. Keonde, Evan, and Bella turned to stare at him. He crushed Kabaj's Scouter in his hand, the pieces falling down to the ground. He took a few steps forward, towards Keonde, his face full of rage. Keonde began walking towards Riken, ready to fight, and hopefully defeat him.

Riken's frown turned into a smirk.

"You've lost all of that power from before. Your Power Level is barely over a thousand now. Do you really think you can defeat me?" Riken asked. Keonde closed his eyes, and clenched his fists.

"Well… Maybe not with sheer power, no, but with a smart mind, and strategy, one can overcome anything." Keonde said. Riken chuckled, and made a gesture with his hand for Keonde to charge towards him. Keonde started flying towards Riken, but behind him, he heard the ice shatter, and he looked over his shoulder to see Kabaj come out of the ice.

He shrunk back down to his short, ripped self, but he was furious. He lunged towards Bella as quick as he could, attempting to spite Keonde. Keonde's eyes widened, and he disappeared just before Riken tried to punch him, and he appeared in front of Bella. Kabaj latched onto him, grabbing tightly onto his body, squeezing onto whatever he could. His body began to light up with a golden Ki, which hummed as he charged his power. Keonde grabbed Kabaj, and tried to throw him off, but his grip was too strong. He then figured out exactly what Kabaj was doing.

"RUN, BELLA!" He screamed towards her. Bella was frozen in place. He turned around, and kicked Bella, sending her flying backwards.

Then, suddenly, Kabaj's Ki became larger, and him and Keonde became surrounded in a large sphere of golden Ki, and Kabaj seemingly exploded, leaving a large cloud of dust in the area. Everybody was shocked, even Riken, who didn't know that Kabaj had such a technique. Dust filled the entire area, and all that was heard was the sound of multiple things hitting the ground. Bella ran into the dust to see if Keonde was okay, but once unseeable inside the dust, she screamed in sadness. The dust cleared, and there was almost nothing left of either Kabaj or Keonde, just a few pieces of their bodies and Kabaj's armor laying around. Riken smirked, and began clapping his hands together.

Evan clenched his fists tightly, and held his head down. Everybody he cared for had died. Miko… Sileanic… Masmik… Sayaka… Ayumi… All of his friends were dead. And Ethan hadn't arrived, either. Evan clenched his fists, his body trembling in anger. He began approaching Riken.

"... I'm going to defeat you, if it's the last thing I do…" He said. Riken began laughing out loud.

"You?! A Human with such a pitiful Power Level?! Oh, please! I think I'd enjoy myself more fighting a brick wall than fighting you! At least it might leave a scratch on my hand! Ahahaha!" Riken laughed. Evan gritted his teeth, and he began sprinting towards Riken out of anger, his Kurēn'ai active, the wings on his pupil flapping.

He attempted to punch Riken as hard as he could, but Riken caught his hand, and then kneed him in the stomach. Evan took a few steps back, but realized that Riken was now behind him. Riken threw his arms around him, and tightly locked them at Riken's stomach. He flew high into the air, and then began flying around in circles for over a minute. Then, after gaining speed and flying around in circles for long enough, Riken began flying down towards the ground quickly, and right before he hit the ground with Evan, he let him go, and Evan slammed into the ground, kicking up dirt into the air. Then, Riken descended down, and grabbed Riken by his arm, and flew up into the air again. He dangled him above the ground, and then began shooting him with tiny purple Ki Beams, which tore right through his clothing and burnt his skin, but he made sure not to penetrate through his body as to torture him more.

With every Ki Beam that hit Evan, he groaned in pain. Riken then began punching him furiously, for what seemed like the longest time. Then, he dropped Evan, and he fell down and hit the ground, laying face-up on his back. Riken descended from the air, and landed next to him. He placed his foot on top of his chest, and slammed down. A loud cracking noise was heard, and Evan screamed out in pain. Riken had just broken his ribs.

Bella sniffled. Sure, she was stronger than Evan if she wanted to be, but there was no way that she could defeat Riken. Riken continued stomping down onto Evan's chest, until they all heard a voice up in the sky.

"You… You stop that right now!" The voice shouted.
