This is it. The semi-final chapter. This is where the final battle ends. I've also come up with the next in the series:

X-Birds: The Legend Of Kronos. It will be a prequel on Kronos's life before and during the start of the series. I've already begun writing. I also want to know if anyone is willing to draw some of the characters for me. If you do, please PM me. I've tried, but I'm not a very good drawer, and I am teaching myself, but until then, I can't draw. Hope you enjoy this chapter :)

Blu followed closely behind his old foe. Hunter managed to stay ahead, but not for long. When in range, Blu rocketed up then dived straight for Hunter. He scratched one of his wings, preventing anymore flight. Blu didn't stop in time and skidded along a thick branch just in front of Hunter.

"Well this is great. Both of us, now too injured to fly" Hunter hissed in anger. Both struggled to stand. "Of course, we still try to fight. Why can't we just be friends?"

"You started this" Blu accused, struggling to keep his wing up to point. "Now we're going to end this."

"You think I wanted this! I didn't want war, but they forced me to! They rebuilt me and made me obey! If I don't they can shut me down in an instant! But I'm afraid of death, so what was I supposed to do!?"

"You could let go of life and sacrifice yourself to save others."

"That wouldn't change a thing. They would just replace me!" Hunter recoiled in pain from his wounds. He held a wing to his chest. "Now, I must do what I was made for." He readied his battle stance.

"Then you leave me no choice." Blu readied his claws and braced himself.

Cody slid under one Sentinel, which was blasted away by another's beam. He rolled out of the way from another beam then phased through the floor. The confused Sentinel looked around for him before having talons rip through it's back. It fell forward, Cody standing behind it. He noticed another mutant in trouble, so ran at the attacking Sentinel. He kicked it's head and flipped backwards, then rammed his talons through it's chest. He turned as it fell back to face the mutant bird he saved.

"Thank you."

"No thanks needed. No one messes with other mutants. Let's kick some Sentinel butt!"

"Yeah." The mutant ran into the fray, only to be sent flying back.

"Oh well. He tried."

In another part of the battle, Logan had teamed up with a tornado-making mutant. The tornado would suck them in, where Logan waited. He darted for his fourth target, which saw him coming. It opened it's beak to fire a beam, but he was too fast. He threw a piece of debris into it's beak, causing it to explode. He dodged a piece of metal which hit another Sentinel right through it's head.

"Ouch. That's gotta hurt." He didn't notice the Sentinel behind, but neither did it notice the large shadow behind it. A big eagle grabbed it by it's shoulders before carrying it out of the winding vortex. Logan decided to fly out and join the battle outside of the tornado. When he went out, he saw the remarkable.

"They're retreating!" he heard one bird yell.

"We've won!" another shouted. Logan perched himself on a branch overlooking the battle. He watched the Sentinel army retreat, staring in disbelief.

"I don't believe it either." Logan looked to his right to the new voice to get a glimpse of Cody landing next to him. "After fighting them for over a century, we defeat them. But it wasn't in the future, but in the past." They both watched the victorious army below, cheering.

"I feel like we're forgetting something." They both thought, then realized at the same time.

"BLU!"

Blu felt he couldn't hold on for much longer. He knew that Hunter felt the same.

"Face it, Hunter. You've lost." Hunter spat some blood and shook the dizzy feeling away.

"I haven't lost yet. I still have my army. Even if you kill me, they will kill you."

"But how many will be left? Even if my friends lose, you won't have many left."

"Friends? I thought they were your team."

"Their more than that. When they win, they'll come here to finish you off, and I'll be there to help."

"So you think." Before Blu could react, Hunter threw a dart at him. It struck him right in his wing. Blu grunted in pain as he pulled it out, but instantly felt weak.

"What..have you...done to me?"

"Just given you the cure. It isn't enough to cure you completely, but it's enough to drain your power. The more harder you fight, the more of it you'll pump around. It's also mixed with a poison that, once your power is low enough, will give you a slow, painful death" Hunter explained. He grinned as he spoke the next part. "There is no cure for it." Blu fell forward and kneeled down, trying to stay up. Hunter kicked him in the side of the head, causing him to collapse instantly. "You are weak."

"At least I'm not a coward" Blu growled. Hunter, angered by this last insult, charged at the injured Blu. Taking his chance, he quickly reared up, his left wing in Hunter's way. He saw it, but it was too late. He felt a piercing pain in his chest, right through his heart. He looked down to see Blu's claws had gone right through. He looked into Blu's eyes.

"How ironic. I give you a gift, and it ends up being the death of me." Blu slipped his claws out of Hunter's chest, leaving him to bleed to death. "W..wait." Blu stopped, turning slowly. "You haven't defeated me yet."

"Just give up. You're already dead."

"I may be dead, but I have set something in motion." Blu weakly went back over to his dying foe. "What I have set in motion cannot be undone. Yes, I will still die in the future by that flooding wave, but i have set in motion what I am now. I have set my creation in stone. I will rise again, and you cannot stop it. The Sentinels may be gone one day, but I will still exist. This, you cannot...stop." Hunter's head fell back. Blu gave his respects, then slowly walked away. But he stopped when he heard a beeping. He looked back at Hunter. A small red light was bleeping underneath his wing. Knowing what it was, he sarted to run away, but it was too late. Hunter's body exploded, sending him flying. He blacked out as fiery wood crashed down around him.

The first thing he saw was darkness. He felt pain, so knew he was not dead. He felt what covered him, and recoiled from the burnt wood, which was still hot. Trying again, he tried to push it off. But he was weak. So he resorted to trying to call for help.

"H...h..help m..me"he managed to whisper. But he knew no one could hear him. He laid back, knowing it was the end. As he drifted away, he heard voices outside, then felt the wood shift. That was the last he knew before blacking out again.

I know it's a bit short, but I couldn't fit much else in without going over to the end. One last chapter, then it's finished. Hope you enjoyed :)
