Opening up at the Sodor High School grounds, a monster known as Evil HERO Inferno Wing was going in to attack Elemental HERO Flame Wingman.
"Say goodbye to your Elemental HERO Flame Wingman!" laughed Zander (the owner of Inferno Wing).
Inferno Wing finally struck Flame Wingman, destroying it.
"Flame Wingman!" James cried out (LP: 3700).
"Now to inflict even more damage!" Zander continued, pointing forth.
James was stunned. "You mean there's more?"
"Yes! Every time Inferno Wing destroys a monster, she can inflict damage to you for the attack or defense of the destroyed monster!"
"That's Elemental HERO Flame Wingman's ability, too!" cried Gordon.
"And Flame Wingman had 2100 attack points!" added Henry.
Inferno Wing charged up a huge flame and fired it at James, overwhelming and causing him to yell in pain (LP: 1600).
"James!" cried Molly.
"I activate my set Trap card; Hero Signal!" groaned James, weakly poking a button on his Duel Disk.
His facedown card flipped up and revealed itself.
"I remember you using that against me." Zander said calmly, folding his arms. "I'm not worried though. Many of your Elemental HEROES are weak fighters and need either fusion or Spell/Trap cards to become more effective in attacking or defending."
James just scowled as he took out a card from his deck.
"With Hero Signal-" The red-haired boy pointed out. "-if a monster is destroyed by battle, I can summon an Elemental HERO in its place."
Appearing on the field was Elemental HERO Clayman (Level: 4/ATK: 800/DEF: 2000).
"Elemental HERO Clayman, eh?" smirked Zander. "Funny, my deck has that card, too."
"My turn." said James, ignoring his opponent's comment and drawing a card from his deck.
Turn Five: James Hughes (LP: 1600)
Deck: (31)
Current Hand (3): Elemental HERO Neos, Elemental HERO Wildheart, and Hero Shield
Sadly, his hand wasn't the best for a situation like this.
"Not good." The red-haired boy thought. "I need a plan to get myself our of this mess." Seeing his drawn Trap card, however, gave him an idea. "But maybe I can use this to buy me some time."
He slid his new card into a Spell/Trap slot on his Duel Disk.
"I place one card facedown and end my turn."
A facedown card materialized.
"You're making this all too easy." taunted Zander, drawing his card. "But that's fine with me!"
Turn Six: Zander (LP: 4000)
Deck: (35)
Current Hand (3): Evil HERO Malicious Edge, Elemental HERO Clayman, Anti-Hero's Heart(!)
The drawn card was a Spell card called Anti-Hero's Heart.
"And I'll play this Spell card..." The Rare Hunter held his card out. "Anti-Hero's Heart!"
"What's that?" James asked.
"Gives you a little benefit." explained Zander. "You gain 2000 life points."
James was surprised (LP: 3600).
"What's the catch?"
Zander grinned wickedly. "By also getting rid of my Vicious Claw, my monster...gets to attack twice this turn if it successfully destroys a monster in battle!"
"Attack twice?" gasped Henry.
"James will lose if that thing attacks him directly!" added Gordon.
"Evil HERO Inferno Wing!" commanded Zander. "Destroy that weakling Clayman now!"
Evil HERO Inferno Wing obeyed and started charging itself on fire before charging forth and crashing into Clayman.
Title: Good HEROES & Evil HEROES, Part 2
"I'm not gonna lose now!" cried James, holding his hand out. "Go Hero Shield!"
The set card flipped face-up and revealed itself.
"This Trap card equips itself onto Clayman, and for one attack it prevents him from being destroyed in battle!" explained James.
Inferno Wing struck Clayman...but the latter survived the flame attack and pushed the enemy monster back to its original spot.
"So be it." grumbled Zander. "But you still lose life points!"
James grunted as some flames went to him (LP: 3500).
"Geez, what's with people nearly giving me heart attacks?" Gordon complained.
Henry ignored that comment. "Hang in there, James!" he encouraged.
Turn Seven: James Hughes (LP: 3500)
Deck: (30)
Current Hand (3): Elemental HERO Neos, Elemental HERO Wildheart, and Wild Half
Looking at his drawn card, as well as the Elemental HERO Wildheart in his hand, gave James an idea that might help get him out of this mess.
"I summon Elemental HERO Wildheart in attack mode!" he declared.
Appearing was a muscular black-haired man with a large sword (Level: 4/ATK: 1500). James then held out another card from his hand.
"Now I'll throw in my Wild half Spell card for good measure!"
The mentioned Spell card materialized.
"This cuts your monster's attack and defense points in half." explained James. "Then I can also summon a Wild Half Token to your side of the field."
Inferno Wing's attack and defense stats both got halved (ATK: 2100 - 1050/DEF: 1200 - 600). Just as a second copy of the monster appeared beside the original.
"Smart play." grimaced Zander.
"Wildheart!" smirked James. "Attack Inferno Wing!"
Wildheart obeyed, charging at Inferno Wing with his blade. Sadly, that attack wasn't gonna cut it...
"I activate the Draining Shield Trap Card!" yelled Zander, poking a button on his Duel Disk and causing his facedown card to flip up and reveal itself. "This negates your attack and increases my life points by your monster's attack points."
"I don't think so." returned James. "Wildheart can't be targeted by your Trap cards."
Very quickly, Draining Shield was instantly destroyed.
"No way!" Zander exclaimed in disbelief.
"Way, man!"
Wildheart's attack continued until he sliced at Inferno Wing. Zander grunted as he took damage (LP: 3550).
"Do you smell that?" Gordon asked, sniffing the air in a teasing matter.
"That smell is a comeback." Henry answered.
The two boys high-fived proudly.
Zander sneered. "This isn't the end." he warned. "I won't lose to you twice in a row!"
The Rare Hunter fiercely drew his next card.
Turn Eight: Zander (LP: 3550)
Deck: (34)
Current Hand (3): Evil HERO Malicious Edge, Elemental HERO Clayman, and Dark Calling
"Behold the Spell card Dark Calling!" Zander held his drawn card out. "To use it, I need to banish a Dark Fusion from my graveyard!"
The mentioned Spell card slipped from his graveyard and vanished in some light.
"Now I can perform a fusion with monsters in my grave or my hand-" said Zander, as the Elemental HERO Burstinatrix card slipped out of his graveyard. "So now I'll fuse Burstinatrix from my grave with the Clayman in my hand to summon the Evil HERO Infernal Sniper!"
Clayman and Burstinatrix both appeared briefly before fusing in a twisted way.
"Now, come forth Evil HERO Infernal Sniper!"
A heavily armored woman with red shades and a weapon on her arm appeared, kneeling (Level: 7/ATK: 2000/DEF: 2500).
"I summon her in defense mode." Zander snickered.
"But why?" quizzed James.
"While in defense mode-" explained Zander. "-my sniper can deal 1000 points of damage to you on each of my standby phases."
"And its defense is high, too." Gordon said in realization. "Meaning it won't be easy to get rid of."
"That's right." agreed Zander. "Now let's see what you've got!"
James was thinking on how he was gonna get rid of that strong Evil HERO.
"I have to break through that thing." The red-haired boy thought to himself, drawing a card.
Turn Nine: James Hughes (LP: 3500)
Deck: (29)
Current Hand (2): Elemental HERO Neos and Trap Hole
The drawn card was a Trap card called Trap Hole.
"This Trap card won't help me." James sighed, but noticed he had a monster in his hand that might. "But this card might for a start."
James held up his card, causing light to start raining out of it.
"Behold my deck's ace monster!" he cried. "I sacrifice Elemental HEROES Clayman and Wildheart!"
The two mentioned monsters turned into balls of light and descended up into the sky.
"Now, come forth-" James bellowed, placing his card onto a monster field slot on his Duel Disk. "-Elemental HERO Neos!"
Out of the beams of light came the large grey skinned Ultraman-like hero (Level: 7/ATK: 2500/DEF: 2000).
"Not that thing again!" One Rare Hunter complained, while the other two Rare Hunters nodded in disgust.
Zander looked a smidge surprised to see James's ace monster appear.
"How do you like seeing my deck's ace again?" asked James teasingly.
"I'm not impressed." replied Zander. "But I assure you I will not lose to it again. It helps that you monster's attack is equal to my monster's defense."
"That may be, but things can change just as quickly."
"That's true." The disgraced Rare Hunter agreed, drawing his next card. "May not be now, but that change will give me the advantage. Now say goodbye to 1000 life points!"
Infernal Sniper fired a blast at James, causing him to grunt (LP: 2500).
"That's gotta hurt." Zander joked.
Turn Ten: Zander (LP: 3550)
Deck: (33)
Current Hand (2): Evil HERO Malicious Edge, and Solemn Judgement
Zander added his drawn card to his hand...and immediately entered the end phase.
"I'll just keep my monster in defense mode and call it a turn." The disgraced Rare Hunter simple stated.
"My turn!" said James, drawing.
Turn Eleven: James Hughes (LP: 2500)
Deck: (28)
Current Hand (2): Trap Hole and Neos Force
Looking at his drawn card, the red-haired boy looked up at Zander with a smirk.
"What's the joke?" asked Zander dismissively.
"I just drew a card that will allow me to take down your sniper." replied James, slotting the drawn card into a Spell/Trap slot on his Duel Disk. "Go Neos Force!"
The mentioned Equip Spell card materialized face-up.
"Now this is something I've never seen before." gulped Zander.
"This nifty Equip Spell card gives my Neos an extra 800 attack points." explained James. "And when he destroys a monster in battle, you lose life points equal to the destroyed monster's attack points!"
Neos grew more powerful than ever (ATK: 2500 - 3300). Zander cursed out loud in anger.
"Now crush that Evil HERO now, Neos!" called James.
Neos obeyed, charging at Infernal Sniper.
"Cosmic Crush!"
Neos struck Infernal Sniper's shield, destroying her.
"And now for Neos Force's effect!" continued James.
What was left of the attack was transferred over to Zander (LP: 1550).
"He almost got the boss!" cried a Rare Hunter.
"Now Neos Force returns to my deck." James stated, shuffling the Equip Spell card back into his deck.
Elemental HERO Neos went back to his original attack strength (ATK 3300 - 2500).
"One more attack-" smiled James. "-and you're finished!"
Suddenly, there was laughter.
"Huh?"
The laughter was coming from Zander. But why? Why was he laughing?
"You're as good as ever, James Hughes." remarked Zander, still laughing. "But do you honestly think you can defeat me twice?"
"Your life points are at 1550, and I have Elemental HERO Neos out." replied James bluntly. "I'd say that would seal the duel."
Zander only laughed even harder in response.
"Seal the duel?" The disgraced Rare Hunter laughed. "You haven't even begun to feel the power of my Evil HEROES!"
Gordon looked over to Henry and pointed his index finger to his temple and spun it around.
"Cuckoo!" came from Gordon.
"Crazy." Henry added.
"My turn!" declared Zander, drawing a card.
Turn Twelve: Zander (LP: 1550)
Deck: (32)
Current Hand (3): Evil HERO Malicious Edge, Solemn Judgement, and Pot of Malicious Greed(!)
Looking at his drawn card, the disgraced Rare Hunter looked back up.
"I activate Pot of Malicious Greed to draw two cards." he said drawing. Holding up one of his new cards, he grinned. "Now I must send four cards from the top of my deck to the graveyard."
Zander drew four more cards and discarded them to the graveyard.
"And now it's time for me to play another fusion."
"Again?" James moaned.
"I activate another Dark Fusion!" Zander slotted the card into his Duel Disk.
The mentioned card materialized face-up, followed by Zander holding two cards up for everyone to see.
"I'll now fuse my Evil HERO Malicious Edge with Elemental HERO Clayman-" announced Zander. "-to call out my most powerful monster!"
A bluish fiend (almost resembling Elemental HERO Bladedge) and Clayman appeared before fusing together in a twisted way, resulting in an explosion.
"I call forth Evil HERO Dark Gaia!" declared Zander.
The fusion was coming to an end. Still tied to the pole, Molly looked very scared indeed.
"James..." The poor black-haired girl whispered.
Standing before them was a large winged fiend that looked as though he had rock armor on his body. (Level: 8/ATK: ?/DEF: 0).
"Behold the instrument of your destruction!" Zander cackled. "My new monster gains the combined attack of each monster used in the fusion."
James feared the answer. "And what would that be?" he asked.
"3400!" answered Zander.
James was in big trouble. "No way!"
Gordon and Henry both didn't like this either.
"Dark Gaia." commanded Zander. "Destroy his Neos with Dark Catastrophe!"
Dark Gaia obeyed and started charging a huge black orb above his head. James watched on knowing that there wasn't anything he could do to save his monster.
"I'm sorry, Neos." The red-haired boy thought to himself with regret. "Looks like I can't save you right now."
Dark Gaia fired his orb at Neos, destroying it and causing James to get sent flying back and yell in agony (LP: 1600).
"JAMES!" cried Gordon, Henry, and Molly.
The red-haired boy slammed onto the ground. That attack from Dark Gaia obviously hurt quite a bit.
"So much for your ace monster." smirked Zander.
James merely grimaced as that Rare Hunter continued to speak.
"Well now looks like we're so close. There is only a 50 life point difference between us. But I now wield an all-powerful monster. You have no chance of stopping me! Now draw your card, Hughes!"
Weakly getting up, James did so.
Turn Thirteen: James Hughes (LP: 1600)
Deck: (27)
Current Hand (2): Trap Hole and Pot of Greed
"I'll use Pot of Greed and draw two more cards from my deck." he said.
"Go ahead." Zander nodded.
Slowly, James reached for his deck and drew two cards. Unfortunately, they weren't what he needed at the moment.
"I could always do worse." The red-haired boy thought, taking one of them and placing it sideways on a monster field slot on his Duel Disk.
"Winged Kuriboh in defense mode!"
The winged version of Kuiboh appeared (Level: 1/DEF: 200).
But Zander was ready. "If I attack, I'll just activate my Dark Gaia's special ability!"
"What?!"
"When Dark Gaia attacks, I can switch its target's position."
James was shocked to hear that. Looking at his hand, he decided to play his newly obtained rare card.
"I play the Spell card Subspace Battle!" The red-haired boy slotted the mentioned card into his Duel Disk. "We are required to pick any three monsters from our decks and summon them to the field."
The two duelists searched their decks.
"I know just what to use." Zander thought, taking three monster cards from his deck and holding them up. "Okay, James, here are my monsters."
A second copy of Evil HERO Malicious Edge, Summoned Skull, and a dragon-like monster called Twin-Headed Fire Dragon appeared. James carefully looked through his deck, knowing he had to make this move carefully. Finally, the red-haired boy chose his three monster cards.
"Here are my three monsters!" He held his three monster cards out.
Zander was ready for whatever James had to throw.
"Come out, my three monsters!"
On cue, Elemental HERO Sparkman, Neo-Spacian Flare Scarab, and Neo-Spacian Grand Mole each appeared. The sets of monsters face each other fiercely.
"Now the second effect of my Spell card activates." said James. "The weaker monsters are sent to the graveyard and the controller of those cards takes 500 points of damage per card."
Gordon was shocked. "But James has weaker monsters! He'll be sent down to 100 life points for it!"
Zander, meanwhile, was laughing.
"Committing suicide, eh?" he chuckled viciously. "So be it. Attack now, my three monsters!"
Zander's monsters immediately attacked and destroyed James's monsters, making the red-haired boy grimace (LP: 100).
"Now my Spell card's third effect activates. You have to add your three victorious monsters to your hand."
Zander did so.
James sighed. "My turn is over now."
The disgraced Rare Hunter was gleefully laughing.
"A waste of a final move to me!" he proclaimed, drawing his card.
Turn Fourteen: Zander (LP: 1550)
Deck: (24)
Current Hand (5): Evil HERO Malicious Edge, Solemn Judgement, Summoned Skull, Twin-Headed Fire Dragon, and Graceful Charity
On cue, the Graceful Charity Spell card materialized face-up.
"I'll begin by using Graceful Charity!" Zander held his card out.
Raindrops began falling gently onto the disgraced Rare Hunter's deck. From there, he drew three cards.
"Now I draw three cards and discard two."
Upon doing so, Zander had added Super Polymerization and Yubel to his hand. This was the moment he had been waiting for.
"I activate Super Polymerization!" Zander went and slotted the mentioned card into a Spell/Trap slot on his Duel Disk.
The card materialized face-up.
"What does that do?" asked James nervously. "I've never seen a card like that before."
Zander kept his sinister smile. "Think Polymerization...only more powerful. I can fuse any monsters on the field and my hand to create a whole new monster! And best of all...THIS CANNOT BE NEGATED AT ALL!"
James, Gordon, Henry, and Molly were all more scared than normal. How much stronger was Zander going to get? They were due to find out as Zander held out one of his cards from his hand.
"Now I'll fuse Yubel with my Evil HERO Dark Gaia!" he declared.
The sky turned all stormy as dark lightning started striking the duel field. Appearing next to Dark Gaia was a creature that looked like a woman with green and orange eyes, hair that was half blue and half white, bat wings, purple skin, and a third eye in the middle of her forehead. The two fused together.
"What's he gonna create?" James thought.
Winged Kuriboh looked pretty scared too.
"The fusion as ended!" declared Zander. "Now, show yourself! Yubel the Evil One(!)!"
An explosion of dark energy covered the field as Gordon, James, and Henry steadied themselves.
"Here it comes!" called Gordon.
Molly was shivering in fright. "James..." she whispered.
Appearing from the dark sky was Yubel seemingly unchanged...but she still seemed much more...evil in a sense. But that was not the truly scary part. Her stats were very much off the charts (Level: 12/ATK: 5000/DEF: 5000).
"Whoa..." said James quietly. "5000 of both stats."
"I've been waiting for this moment ever since you've handed me a defeat!" Zander shouted dramatically. "I've been unable to face my master without feeling nothing but shame...now that loss is finally about to be avenged! But first, all other monsters on my field get destroyed."
James merely stared on in defiance as the Wild Half token was destroyed.
"Yubel the Evil One, attack Winged Kuriboh and end this duel!"
Yubel obeyed, charing a dark orb and firing towards Winged Kuriboh.
"And Yubel gains the same ability as the fiend monster Yubel fused with!" added Zander. "Meaning your furball goes into attack mode!"
Winged Kuriboh found itself being forcefully switched into attack mode. James merely closed his eyes and awaited his fate as the huge orb of darkness got closer and closer. There was a massive explosion in the center of the duel field. Gordon and Henry both watched in horror at their friend's seeming demise.
"JAMES!" They both shouted out at once.
"NO!" screamed Molly.
Zander only laughed in triumph. "I did it!" he cried proudly. "I got my revenge on that punk for beating me!"
"Don't count your chickens before they hatch." came a familiar voice.
The dust cleared to show James still standing (LP: 100).
"James!" exclaimed Gordon.
"He's okay!" Henry added.
Molly felt very relieved that James was safe. Zander, meanwhile, was stunned to see that James was still standing.
"B-But how?" The disgraced Rare Hunter stuttered.
"When Winged Kuriboh is destroyed in battle-" said James. "-ALL Battle Damage I take this turn becomes 0. Meaning your attack was wasted!"
Zander was cross. "How dare you stop my victory with that fur ball!" he growled. "On my next turn, my Yubel will destroy you!"
James kept a confident look on his face...but deep down, he knew he wouldn't last the next turn. He had to end the duel here and now.
"This is it. My last chance." James thought. "If I lose, then Gordon, Henry, and I are as good as dead." He then spoke aloud. "It isn't over until the last card is played!"
"Then draw your card!" Zander replied hotly.
James reached for his deck and drew his card, making a slash of colour.
Turn Fifteen: James Hughes (LP: 100)
Deck: (22)
Current Hand (2): Trap Hole and Card of Sanctity
"I activate Card of Sanctity!" James held his card out. "Now we both must draw until we hold six cards in our hands!"
Zander only drew one card, while James drew five cards.
"All right!" James thought, looking at his drawn cards. "Time for me to win this duel!" He selected his drawn Miracle Fusion Spell card and slotted it into his Duel Disk. "I activate Miracle Fusion!"
The mentioned card materialized face-up and ready to activate.
"Miracle Fusion?" Zander frowned.
"That's right." confirmed James. "This Spell let's me do a fusion summon with Elemental HEROES in my graveyard or my field."
Both Element HEROES Sparkman and Flame Wingman both appear before fusing together.
"And the monsters I've chosen are Elemental HERO Sparkman and Elemental HERO Flame Wingman!"
The fusion ended and Elemental HERO Shining Flare Wingman stood tall and proud (Level: 8/ATK: 2500).
"Shining Flare Wingman?" gasped Zander. "That monster gets stronger for every Elemental HERO in your graveyard, right?"
"That's right." nodded James, three cards then slid out of his graveyard. "My monster gains 300 attack points for every Elemental HERO in my graveyard." He took hold of them and showed them to Zander. "And I count three."
Shining Flare Wingman grew stronger (ATK: 2500 - 3400). Zander sighed in relief.
"Your monster is still weaker than my own." The disgraced Rare Hunter commented. "I'm safe."
"I'm not finished yet!" James held out another card. "I'll add in Miracle Contact next!"
Three more cards slid out of his graveyard. They were Grand Mole, Flare Scarab, and Elemental HEO Neos. James then took hold and shuffled the three cards into his deck.
"You remember seeing this card in our last duel, right?" The red-haired boy asked.
"Yes." growled Zander. "I know what it does."
"Then I'll use it to merge Neos with Flare Scarab and Grand Mole! Come forth, Elemental HERO Magma Neos!"
Another fusion commenced. When it ended, there stood Elemental HERO Magma Neos (Level: 9/ATK: 3000).
"My new monster gains 400 attack points for every card on the field, regardless of who owns it." James explained.
Since there were three cards of the field, that was an extra 1200 attack points added in to its strength (ATK: 3000 - 4200).
"And-" James went on. "-before you say my monsters are weaker than your Yubel, take a good look at this card!" He held out Neo Space. "The Field Spell Neo Space!"
The sky turned from dark and cloudy to all...very colorful.
"Since I played an extra card, my Magma Neos gains 400 extra attack points!"
Magma Neos grows stronger (ATK: 4200 - 4600).
James smirked. "And that's not all Neo Space does!"
"What else does it...do?" Zander demanded, sounding nervous.
"It grants my Neos monster an additional 500 attack points and prevents him from leaving the field at the end of the turn."
Magma Neos reached its full strength (ATK: 4600 - 5100).
"N-No!" stammered Zander. "This can't be happening!"
"Magma Neos!" commanded James. "Wipe out Yubel the Evil One now!"
Magma Neos obeyed, charging up a large meteor and hurling it at Yubel.
"Your monster is history, Zander!"
"Alright, James!" cheered Gordon and Henry at their friend's comeback.
Magma Neos sent down its Meteor Meltdown attack from the sky. Yubel was hit by the meteor and a massive explosion filled the area.
"James!" cried out Molly.
When the smoke cleared, Magma Neos stood triumphantly while Yubel the Evil One was destroyed.
"M-My monster..." mumbled Zander in a low whisper (LP: 1450).
"It's gone." said James proudly. "And that leaves you wide open for a direct attack! Go get him, Shining Flare Wingman!"
"N-No!" cried out Zander in rage. "I will not lose to you a second time!"
"Too late, pal!"
Shining Flare Wingman charged up a blast and fired at Zander.
"No... NO!" The Rare Hunter winced, as the attack got closer and closer.
The blast struck Zander and sent him flying back as he roared in pain from the attack (LP: 0).
DUEL RESULTS: James Hughes wins!
"I've won!" cried James, jumping up into the air happily.
"Nice win, James!" came from both Gordon and Henry.
The three Rare Hunters each stared in disbelief over what had just occurred.
"He just beat Zander again!" wailed one Rare Hunter.
"Let's beat it before he decides to mop the floor with us!" added another Rare Hunter.
The three Rare Hunters quickly bolted out of there before it was too late. Zander, who was back on his feet, quickly fled the school grounds too...though not before turning around and threatening the three Tidmouth Teens.
"You haven't seen the last of me!" shouted Zander. "I will have my revenge!"
James only stared on in defiance before Zander ran out of the area, dropping two cards and a Locator card in the process. With the four Rare Hunters gone, James, Henry, and Gordon made their way over to the tied up Molly.
"You're safe now." said Henry, untying the roles.
"Oh, thank you." Molly sighed in relief.
As soon as the black-haired girl was freed, James quickly wrapped his arms around her.
"Oh, Molly, I'm so happy you're safe!"
"James?" Molly was surprised by this gesture.
"I'm so sorry I yelled at you," said James, tears streaming down his eyes. "I was just so angry because I thought you hated me."
"James..." Molly whispered, tears streaming down her eyes, too.
"Please forgive me for what I said to you." James pleaded. "I'm so, so sorry!"
Molly gently wrapped her own arms around James.
"I would like to forgive you, James." The black-haired girl said seriously. "But how would you manage to keep your arrogance and pride from taking you over again?"
James immediately new the answer to that. "How about this then?"
The two teens then shared a kiss under the very colourful sky (From Neo Space). Both Elemental HERO Shining Flare Wingman and Elemental HERO Magma Neos were still around watching all that was happening.
"Guess he finally got the girl." Gordon could be heard saying down below.
"Hush!" hissed the voice of Henry.
Meanwhile, continuing to watch all that was happening, the Elemental HEROES Shining Flare Wingman and Magma Neos both descended into the sky and out of sight.
Happy ending, right? Not entirely. Let's move on, shall we?
(elsewhere...)
Marik was furious. "You blew it again!" he shouted.
"Please, Master Marik." begged Zander. "I tried my hardest!"
Inside one of the hideouts near Brendam Docks, Marik was furiously standing before a terrified Zander (despite Zander being a 28-year old man).
"Hardest wasn't good enough!" Marik bellowed, and held his Millennium Rod up. "You've failed me for the last time, Zander. So now, you will suffer the consequences for this!"
"No please!" begged Zander. "Give me another chance!"
"SILENCE!"
The Millennium Rod's eye started glowing gold. Zander gave a scream of panic before, in a blinding white light, the young man fell onto the ground, facedown, in a coma. The three other Rare Hunters watched what had happened and gasped in horror as Marik gave a contented sigh.
"It's really hard to find decent help these days." The Rare Hunter leader said irritably. With that said, Marik looked back over to his minions. "Report?"
The three Rare Hunters recovered from their shock.
"The boy, Percy Avonside, had won his final Locator card." said the first Rare Hunter. "Is it time to go and get him?"
"Yes." confirmed Marik. "And I have a new friend who is going to help us."
"Friend?"
Marik only chuckled evilly and looked to the nearby doorway. "You may show yourself now."
The door opened and a shadowed figure walked into the warehouse.
"Oh, but of course." The figure said quaintly, as he started to laugh maniacally.
The Rare Hunters gasped. The 'friend' was but a mere teenage boy! ...no. It was not a mere 'teenage boy'. It was actually...
Montague.
