I don't own dinosaur king or any of its characters. This chapters gonna be pretty long so enjoy!
Ok what the hell is happening now... I remember jumping into a purple and black poral... then the rest is blank. I opened my eyes to fine i was in some sort of high tech castle. Wow not bad... I sat up and shook the dizzyness out of my head. The first thing i saw was a dead Rico right in front of me. I was shocked at first. What happened. I thought i was going to the future. Did i rage again, or did i have some kind of mental lapse. Either way Rico gone. Rex came in front of me.
"That was incredible! Nice job Max!" He yelled. He gave me a pat on the back, but the next thing that hit me was a shock. Zoe, Hugged me. no i mean a real hug, but she was captured. This doesn't make any sence. Oh well i wasn't complaining i was just happy to see she was alive. She looked into my eyes and began to get closer... way too close to my face. Panic struck me more than anything else.
"ZOE WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" I yelled. I tried breaking free, but she wouldn't let go. We wrestled around slightly, then, I fell to the floor bringing her with me. She pinned my arms behind her back, and leaned in. Naturally i was blushing like crazy, how am i supposed to handle a situation like this? She was so close, close enough for a kiss, until...
"AUGH!" I yelled as i sat up, drenched in sweat. What the hell was that? I turned and saw Rex next to a campfire, with a surprised look on his face.
"Morining sleeping beauty! Ha! bad dream huh?" He asked.
"You have no idea..." I shook my head trying to get those weird vivid images out of it. It just seemed to be giving me a headache, so i stopped.
"What was it about?" Rex asked. I opened my mouth to tell him, but decided not too. The last thing i needed was a rumor flying around that i dreamted about Zoe. Rex always was one to spread funny rumors around places. Sometimes i tend to wonder about his sources.
"well were here..." He said. I saw a bit of sadness in his eyes. I guess he didn't want to come back to this time. Though i could see why, It looked like the world of the matrix. Machines everywhere, and around everything... Dark skys, and Completly void of human life.
"Woah... is this... the future" I asked appalled. He nodded.
"When Rico takes over..." He gloomed.
Rico? That kid that went down easily? How could he take over? I could easily beat him. The only reason i haven't is because he retreated, or fought me when i was injured. Other than that i was fine fighting him, Hell i bet even Rex can beat him alone.
"How can someone like Rico take over. Both of us can beat him alone" I pressed.
"Thats just the thing... He's not alone." He said. I gave a quiestioning stare. "Well remember that demon army attacting our town?" I nodded. "Well in my future... you fought alone bravely, ... we both did, but you didn't wanna leave your town. So you stayed, and died like a hero. I ran away like a coward..." He shivered. I suddenly felt his suffering. He had to live with the guilt of my death all the time... knowing that he could've stopped it.
"Rex, if you didn't run where would the future be now... history. You running gave us a fighting chance now stop beating yourself up." I said as i punched his shoulder. He smiled.
"Thanks man... It's just a quick run from hear... it ends tonight!" He yelled. We both sprinted off into the distance.
Meanwhile...
Zoe woke up with a pain in her head. Where was she? What happened? The last thing she remembered was tinjed red. A boy... no not Max, it was a scary looking one... took her in his arms. She tried me move yet couldn't. Her arms were tied to the wall, and the strange boy was looking at her.
"hmm so your awake..." He purred.
She glared at him.
"now now... i just need something from you... your soul" She spat at him, hitting his face. He could only hide his rage. "now now don't be like that"
She gave a nasty glare, and looked away.
"now men... take to the main room... its time to begin." He muttered. Two men surrounded her, and carry her away into the main hall.
Meanwhile...
"Well were here..." Rex said.
"Good... took near a damn hour." I mused.
He shrugged and we both walked in. The castle was nothing like a imagined it to be. Instead of bieng all nice and high tech, the castle was in shambles. It's like a ghost of its former self. The walls were chrome and scrapped up. The area was completly messed up.
"jeez, he likes a nice room don't he?" I joked. Rex didn't even smile. I guess he has bad memorys of this place. We walked through the light, yet eirly creepy, hallways until we heard gwaning on the other side of the door.
"tch Demons!" Rex yelled. "we'll be surrounded by grunts in an instant."
My ears twitched. It might've been grunts but they were still dangerous. We had to make a plan fast.
"Listen max, go on ahead and don't stop." He said. I was shocked at his words. Theirs no telling how many grunts their were... but if we waste time, zoe could lose her soul. We could lose her forever if we stop here... In a way Rex was right... but i can't lose him too... theirs only one thing i can do.
"fine... just be careful..." I muttered. I ran in the direction we were going, but i saw an assortment of shadows pass me by. Please god let Rex survive. I ran through the halls and soon entered the main hall... where i saw the shock of my life. Zoe laying face-up. A blank look in her eyes, and saw Rico standing over her, with a pink sphere in his hands. Mixed emotions rammed me like a train. Rage... Sadness... Agony... then back to Rage.
Red energy swirled around me. "... Zoe... wake up." I muttered, my voice switching into demon mode.
"your wasting time... without a soul shes life-less..." Those words haunted me, was she really gone? Why... why was i too late... WHY?!
Crimson energy swirled around me, but i didn't feel the plessure of rage this time. I was uncontrolable, a shell of my former self. My skin turned a dark shade of grey and i started to grow taller. My fangs grew, and my muscles grew in size. By the end of my transformation, i looked like a grey sixteen year old.
"Now... your dead." My voice was deep and demonic. I think i finally unleashed my inner demon. Rico shocked face was all it took. I got him in my sights and I'm ready to start killing.
"Must say, boy this is new... but this won't change a thing..." He mused. I was silent. "Awaken... Spinosaurous cyclone blade." A pale blue cyclone blade came out of nowhere. He threw it, and it flew at rapid speed at me. Wind parted and it just came faster. I didn't move anywhere... just extended my palm, and launched a pilar of crimson energy. The blade was completly obliterated, and the beam hit Rico. His body was slightly burned and he got launched threw several coloums in the room.
"ACK! tch... not bad... CYCHANIA HAMMER!" He yelled as a gigantic hammer, like a cychainia tail, was brought forward. He charged and skillfully swung it at me. I swifly dodged and I punched his face. My new power sent him through another few pilars and he correted himself.
"DODGE THIS!" He screamed as he through his hammer down on the ground unleashing a powerful shockwave, devastating the floor around me. Once again, i stayed in place, and stomped my foot, unleashing an even more powerful shockwave. The shockwaves collided and the floor was completly shattered. We fell to the other floor below. I landed with ease, but the poor bastard landed on his head.
"ow..." The pain he felt only made my day. "carnotaurous claws..." He muttered as his claws began to show. He charged at me and made swift movements, punching, slashing and kicking, trying to hit me, but he was just wasting his time. I'm just to fast for him.I dodged with ease, hoestly i wondered why he hasn't givin up yet.
2 minutes pass, and Ricos frustration had risin. "THESE CLAWS ARE USELESS! TYRANOSAUROUS SWORD!" He yelled as he drew a red sword. He charged and made a wide-arc move with his sword. I didn't bother going for my sword, I grabbed it with my hand and tossed him over my shoulder, but he did something i didn't expect. He launched fire from his sword and struck me full force. The fire didn't give my pain but i'm pretty sure my human bodys burnt.
I just shook it off and jumped high. I punched him to the ground, shattering it. "TRICRATOPS CANNON!" He yelled as he gained a yellow cannon and launched a lightning bolt at me point blank. The lightning bolt peirced my shoulder, but i ignored the pain, and flew down, punching him through the floor. Finally he was down and couldn't move... its gonna be over in a second... I raised my sword and was about to bring it down before i was grasped from behind.
I was about to strike whatever it was, but the grasp was soft, like a hug. Who's doing that... I turned my head to see the one person i needed. Zoe was awake, but how... her soul was left alone, maybe it found its was to her body... either way... i got my Zoe back. My body began to shrink, and my skin turned tan.
Her familar feel, her scent, her breath, all that i needed. Why do i feel so... bare. I look down to see my shirt, and jacket completly blown off and my skin was slightly burnt and bruised. Their was a small hole in my shoulder that hurt like hell.
"Zoe... your ok... sorry" I muttered. She only hugged me tighter.
I saw Rico stand up and glare at me. "I WILL MOUNT YOUR HEAD WHERE MY PRIDE USED TO BE!" He screeched.
His entire arm lit in black fire, and his gripped a larger sword, a black one.
"Behold the black tyrano." He said with what pride he had left. dammit what do i do now? i'm injured and i can't fight a guy like this.
"Zoe... this might be it... " I muttered. Zoe shed a tear, but something odd happened. Her hand's began to glow green, and she placed them on my bare chest. Relief from the pain was what i felt first. My wounds began to close and my burns went away. Zoe has powers?! though thats something i gotta work out later.
I drew my sword and waited for the fight of my life.
Now its time for the final battle, of the book, don't worry they'll be more, but this books gonna end at this next chapter. It's Max vs Rico in a battle to the death. Though will Max come out as the victor? Or is this the end of the D-team. This is Ace of Spades sayan GOODNIGHT!
