-Ch. 10 Evil Issues-

Back at Lord Ivex's menacing dark castle, Lex enters, a bit late. "You failed. I'm most disappointed with you," Lord Ivex states, very unhappy, "Punishment is your fate. Why are you so late, Lex? You should've returned hours ago." "Why do you need to know, Ivex?" Lex snaps. Cira, Mr. Muscles, and L are stunned at Lex's words. "Excuse me, impudent worm?" Ivex interrogated Lex, "You dare address your master with such rudeness?" "Why you little! I'm gonna…" Mr. Muscles started, but was interrupted.

"No, I'll deal with him, " Lord Ivex, "It appears you need to be punished to the fullest extent! You will learn your place, pathetic fool!" He swings his scepter and fires a dark energy ray at Lex. Lex is struck with the blast and he kneels down. "Yes, bow before the great Lord Ivex! Disrespect of your master will not be tolerated!" Ivex bellows. "Ugh…you're stronger than I'd thought you'd be, Ivex!" Lex grunted. "Where's this stupid insubordination coming from, Lex?" Cira questioned, "Leave it to a stupid boy to do something so stupid!" "…Do you think I'm finished, Ivex?" Lex muttered. "Why, yes Lex, for this munity, your punishment is…death!" Ivex declares.

Lord Ivex focuses his power even more, with intention to kill Lex. Lex some manages to withstand Ivex's power. "…I see, you have a few Dark Stone Fragments! As do I! Two in fact! Observe true power, Ivex!" Lex bawls. He breaks free of Ivex's energy blast and leaps at him. He snatches the black gems that were on Ivex's cape and crown. "Impressed?" Lex gloats. Ivex slashes Lex with his scepter. "You little cretin!" Ivex roars, "You die here!" "I think not, " Lex laughs, "The next time you see me, I'll be the ruler of all worlds! And all you fools will fall into complete darkness!" He vanishes from the castle, with the gems he took from Ivex.

"How? Why? How could I have let myself be bested by that insect!" Lord Ivex shouted, "That foolish traitor! I will erase that fool from the very fabric of existence! Those gems on my garbs…were Dark Stone Fragments! I only have three remaining! Bah!" "Don't worry, Lord Ivex, sir, If that low life, scum bag ever shows his face here or any where else, he'll have to answer to me and my murderous fists!" L vows. "L! Go destroy those pathetic Woo Fools!" Ivex demanded, "It will give me one less nuisance to worry about!" "You got it, Lord Ivex!" L responds, "I've been CRAVING action and violence! I'm gonna enjoy ripping those little furry fools apart! Finally, I get see some true competition! You guys may have lost to those punks, but I won't! HAIL IVEX! L-out!" He pulls out the teleporting orb that was given to him by Ivex and disappears.

Just then, the doors of leading to the room Lord Ivex and his minions were opens and Lex enters. "Wha? You dare show your face here again after all that? You've got some nerves! Too bad I'm gonna rip em out!" Mr. Muscles threatened, "…Wait…that's not right…Bah! Just get ready to be crushed!" "Yeah, Lex, traitors of Great Lord Ivex aren't welcome in the here! Or even allowed to breathe! It's go time! Your finished!" Cira screeched. "Whoa! WHOA! What the HECK? Traitor? Why I would never betray our excellent leader!" Lex stated, very puzzled. Cira and Muscles prepare to attack Lex, by they are stopped Lord Ivex. "Halt!" he yells, "The Lex who attacked me was an imposter, as I suspected. Yes, Lex wouldn't have stood a chance against me. Who ever this person was, they were indeed powerful, there's no denying that. But, the had two Dark Stones in their possessions, took mine, and even just that fact they even knew about the stones means someone is planning something similar to my brilliant plan…All of you! Begin training at once! And also inform Lex an the scenario that took place here," "Yes sir! HAIL IVEX!" the minions cried. "Listen, pathetic worm, you dare interfere with the great Ivex's plans, and you will fall! I will destroy you! THE GLORIOUS AGE OF IVEX WILL RAIN SUPREME! BWAR HARHARHARAHAR!" Ivex howled maniacally.
