Currently, Adrian and Imp were walking down the street looking for Devel. It had been three days since Tia told them about her plans for him and they'd been searching tirelessly, along with Fiona and Zeke. Imp had a worried look on her face, which didn't go unnoticed by Adrian. Adrian stopped himself and Imp before saying,"Imp, are you okay?"

Imp shook her head before saying."No, I feel sick always and am restless even when you're with me. What is this emotion?"

"That's called worry or concern, you usually get it when someone you care about is in trouble. To be honest I'm kinda surprised you still care about Devel.",Adrian said.

"I don't know why either. I don't love him and adore him like I used to but I still don't want to see him harmed by anyone.",Imp said while looking at her feet. Adrian nodded then said,"That's like how even though I hate my dad's guts, it did hurt me to have to kill him. All children feel this towards their parents. I mean I think Devel would be considered your parent anyway."

Imp nodded, still having her expression of worry on her face. Adrian hugged Imp then said,"Don't worry Imp we'll find him before Tia does."

Imp just looked up at Adrian then nodded before she and him began walking together.

{ Bringing it Down by starset is playing. }

( Build up plays before music intensifies. ) Adrian stands by himself in the console looking at the walls as faint images of Robin, Gio, Zeke, Marcus and Fiona appeared around him.

( I saw it in your eyes. I saw the creature deep inside. ) Adrian gained an angered look as he turned around and saw Tia and Fighter Ace standing behind him. Tia then changed into a silhouetted monster briefly before reverting to her human form.

( You opened up your cage. ) Devel sat in his room filled with computers. He then shook his head and ruffled his hair.

( Pathetic insect, drawn to flame. ) Devel then looked up and saw a violet and pink flame. He gritted his teeth before charging at it.

( I'm falling apart, inside your holographic heart. ) The ground around Devel broke away and he fell into a chasm. Imp walked alone thinking about Devel before she shook her head.

( Lost souls dancing, and now the lie is collapsing. ) Imp began skipping down the sidewalk with a smile on her face. It then switches to Adrian standing in the console, his appearance being disheaved.

( There's something inside you that isn't right. ) Adrian, Robin, Gio, Zeke, Marcus and Fiona were fighting many grunts.

( There's something that haunts your dreams at night. ) The six teens then looked forward to see Tia and Fighter Ace standing there. Adrian closed his eyes and gritted his teeth.

( There's something that you have lost. ) Devel appeared from the side and began fighting Marcus. He then looked over to see Imp watching the fight and he gained a surprised look.

( And you're bringing it down. You're bringing it down. ) Images of Pinkpsycho, Greendetective, Violetking, Yellowassassin, and Bluegeneral appeared across the screen all fighting as they did.

( On top of us. ) Redfighter appeared on screen and punched at the screen making flames engulf the screen. The flames then changed into red, blue, yellow, violet, neon green, and neon pink pixels before the pixels spell out Video Sentai Game-man.

Currently, Gio and Robin were walking together with Gio moving his, now healed, arm around saying,"Yeah! Finally my arm is healed and I can be the Yellowassassin, once again."

Robin smiled and said,"Yeah that's good. We do need everyone on the team if we wanna go up against Tia while also trying to find Devel."

"Oh right, I forgot we have to find that jerk. Why do we want him to survive again?",Gio asked his girlfriend.

"Because if he dies, Tia's plans are complete and she can become all powerful or something. I wasn't listening too much when Adrian was explaining everything.",Robin explained. Gio said,"Oh." in a disappointed tone then he looked at Robin and asked,"So, what's been on your mind pretty lady?"

"What are you talking about?",Robin asked with genuine curiosity. Gio put his hands in his pocket and said,"Well you've had this kinda look/vibe around you for a bit and with me being your goofball, I wanna know what's got you all. Not Robin-y."

Robin raised an eyebrow then she smiled while chuckling before saying,"I haven't really had much on my mind besides what I'm gonna do after all this."

"After all of what?",Gio asked with a confused expression.

"You know, this. After we're done with Tia and everything, I've just been wondering what I'm going to do with my life afterwards. I mean me, Adrian and Marcus are about to graduate so we gotta figure out what to do with our lives.",Robin said. Gio nodded then he said,"I get it, I never thought about that. I just kinda assumed I'd always stay a game-man ya know."

"Why would you stay a Game-man?",Robin asked her boyfriend.

"I don't know. It's just been fun being a hero and fighting with you guys, plus for once I don't feel like the screw up of my family. Not to mention, I've become a better person since I've been a Game-man.",Gio said with a smile. Robin nodded then said,"True but still you have a life outside of this. I mean haven't you wanted to do something besides this?"

Gio thought about it and shook his head then he asked,"Have you?"

"Yeah. I've actually been considering going back to America to get become a nurse.",Robin said. Gio looked at Robin with some worry/sadness and he said,"You want to go back to America?"

Robin nodded then said,"Yeah, Japan has been cool but I wanna see my home again."

Gio turned his head to the ground and said,"Okay." with a saddened tone. Robin noticed this and looked at Gio before stopping both of them and saying, in a worried tone,"You okay goofball?" while facing Gio. Gio nodded, quickly switching his attitude back to being happy, and said,"Of course I'm okay. Just started thinking about some stuff."

"Hope I was one of your thoughts Gio.",Gio and Robin heard before they turned their gaze to the other side of the road and seeing Tia standing there. The couple took out their gashats and Tia said,"You all are wasting your time. Devel is going to die one way or another."

"Well while we'd usually be okay with that, it's you who want him dead so yeah. Gotta save the jackass.",Gio said. Tia rolled her eyes then said,"Your humor hasn't gotten any better Gio."

Gio gritted his teeth and Robin put her hand on his chest before saying to Tia,"Did you come here to fight or just piss us off?"

"Oh I came here to make sure you two don't get in my way. So have fun fighting these guys.",Tia said before snapping her fingers, causing Hyko and Yogak to appear beside her. Gio and Robin's eyes widened and Gio said,"Okay, that's uh, uh. "

"Not good at all.",Robin said as he put her gashat into her game cycler

In another part of the city, Fiona, Zeke and Marcus were searching for Devel together with little to no success. Zeke sighed then said,"Where could Devel be?"

"Don't worry Zekey, we'll find him before Tia does.",Fiona said in a calming voice.

"And when we do, you can be the one to kill him.",Marcus said nonchalantly. Zeke looked at Marcus with confusion then said,"What?"

Marcus looked at Zeke and said,"You are going to kill Devel right?"

"Hadn't planned on it. Why did you think I would?",Zeke asked while he and Fiona stopped in their tracks. Marcus stopped walking and turned to Zeke while saying,"Well seeing as how much destruction he's caused, what he did to Fiona and how he's tormented you. I just assumed that you'd be down to kill him."

Zeke looked at Marcus then said,"I'm not. Yeah he's done all that stuff but I can't say that I completely blame him."

Marcus and Fiona raised eyebrows as Zeke continued to speak,"Zatarn, Fenrir and Roganda programmed him to be evil and he had no choice but to be that. On top of that they gave him no emotions or any semblance of a personality besides that so."

Suddenly, the trio had explosions go off all around them and they put their hands up to try and shield themselves. Shin Devil Deus then swooped down from the sky and kicked Marcus in the chest before throwing him across the street. Fiona tried to take out her gashat but Shin Devel Deus used his telekinesis to push her several feet back. Shin Devil Deus then grabbed Zeke by his throat before saying,"You're coming with me."

Shin Devil Deus and Zeke then disappeared from where they stood, which Fiona witnessed and shouted in a alarmed and fearful tone,"Zekey!"

Marcus gasped and winced in pain while grabbing his chest. Marcus then shook off his pain and took out his phone and began dialing someone. He then got to his feet and ran over to Fiona while talking on the phone,"Adrian, we found Devel but he ambushed us and took Zeke."

A few minutes later at the console, Marcus and Fiona entered the console with Fiona saying,"Have you found Zekey yet?" to Imp and Adrian who had arrived earlier. Imp shook her head then said,"Sadly not."

Fiona became incredibly worried and she began worriedly saying,"No no no no no no."

Marcus came over to Fiona and said,"Fiona, calm down. We're gonna get Zeke back and get Devel."

Fiona looked at Marcus, with her expression changing to one of anger and insanity, then said,"I don't give a damn about Devel. All I care about is my Zekey!" angrily. Marcus nodded then he looked at the console's entrance as Gio and Robin ran into it breathing heavily. Adrian saw Gio and Robin then asked,"What happened to you two?"

"We had a run in with Tia and let's just say that she's way different now.",Gio said as he and Robin approached their friends. Robin nodded then said exhaustedly,"She's not just different guys. It's like she's not human."

"What? What do you mean?",Marcus asked as his concern grew. Imp tilted her head to the side then she said,"Oh no."

"What's wrong Imp?",Adrian asked while looking at Imp. Imp turned to Adrian and said,"You remember when I first saw Tia and my eyes glowed?"

(Author's note: this happened outside of the story.)

"Yeah, it was when she showed up at my apartment unannounced. What about it?",Adrian questioned.

"Well as you know I can sense when other bugsters are around, but when it came to Tia I assumed that it was Fighter Ace causing my sense to go off. However with that revelation from Bluegeneral and Yellowassassin, I now realize that what I was sensing at not FIghter Ace but instead Tia."

Adrian, Marcus and Fiona were shocked by this and Marcus said,"Hold on a sec. You mean to tell me that Tia's a bugster?!"

"Ah! That explains it!",Gio shouted while pointing at Imp. Robin put Gio's hand down then said,"That explains what Gio?"

"It explains everything. Remember when Tia put me my back like it was nothing then casually walked out of here, I said she was Devel level of strong. Also remember when she tried to kill us after Adrian fought his dad.",Gio said. Robin thought about it then said with realization in her voice,"She made an energy burst in her hands. Oh my god she is a bugster."

"Well if she is a bugster then who's her host?",Fiona asked.

"That is a question that you all will never know the answer to.",Tia said as she entered the console along with Fighter Ace. Adrian, Imp, Robin, Gio, Marcus and Fiona immediately looked at Tia and were going to charge at her but she raised her hand and all of them flew into the back wall. Tia chuckled evilly then said,"Did you all actually think I wouldn't come here for you? Oh how stupid you kids can be." before she snapped her fingers. Fighter Ace revealed his bugvisor in beam mode and he began shooting around the console as Tia fired energy burst around it. Explosion went off around the console which caused the walls to crack and scaffolding to fall. Adrian gained a look of rage and he said,"You guys get out of here now. I got them. Game start!" as he took out his gashat.

"BREAK FROM THE CAGE WITH K.O FURY!"

Redberserker jumped over the railing of the main room and puncher Fighter Ace in the chest before kicking Tia in the side. Fighter Ace blocked a kick from Redberserker then shot at him before proceeding to engage the red game-man while also destroying the console. Imp saw Redberserker and shouted with concern,"Adrian!"

Redberserker blocked a kick from Fighter Ace then turned to Imp and said,"Imp go now!" He then pushed FIghter Ace back before getting blasted into some railing by Tia. Tia smiled evilly then said,"I'm gonna enjoy killing you the most Adrian."

Suddenly, Yellowassassin and Bluegeneral landed in front of Redberserker and readied their weapons as they faced Tia. Redberserker looked at the two and said,"GIo, Robin?"

"Take Imp and Fiona and go, we'll hold off Tia and FIghter Ace. You gotta find Zeke and Devel.",Bluegeneral said. Redberserker got to his feet and said,"But."

"No time for buts dude, go!",Yellowassassin said before he and Bluegeneral charged at Tia and began fighting her. Redberserker hesitated then a computer exploded behind him and he stumbled before growling in anger. He then ran towards Imp and said,"Come on Imp."

Meanwhile, Greendetective and Pinkpsycho were fighting Fighter Ace together. Greendetective blocked a blast from Fighter Ace as Pinkpsycho was hit by a kick from Fighter Ace. Pinkpsycho stumbled back then Greendetective blocked a punch from Fighter Ace and said,"Go with them Fiona."

"What?",Pinkpsycho asked while standing up. Greendetective slashed Fighter Ace across the stomach with the gashacon keyslasher then he looked at his sister and said,"You heard me. Go with Adrian and Imp, go get your Zekey."

"But, but.",Pinkpsycho stuttered. Greendetective hugged his sister then said,"Don't worry lil sis, I can take this guy. Now go get your boyfriend." before he began fighting Fighter Ace once again. Pinkpsycho looked at her brother then she followed Imp and Redberserker as they ran out of the console. Tia saw this and tried to chase after the three, but Bluegeneral got in front of her and said,"Nu uh, you're staying here." before shooting at her several times.

Explosions went off around the entire console, even causing the roof to come down, as Yellowassassin and Bluegeneral fought Tia and Greendetective fought Fighter Ace.

A few blocks away from the console, Adrian, Imp, and Fiona had continued running until Fiona stopped and took out her phone. Adrian and Imp stopped and looked at Fiona with Adrian saying,"Fiona this isn't the time to be checking your phone."

"Zekey just texted me though. He says that he's in the warehouse district.",Fiona said with some happiness in her voice. Adrian and Imp looked at one another with concern then Imp said,"It could be a trap by Devel-sama."

"I don't care if it's a trap. It's the only thing we have to finding Zekey.",Fiona said with happiness. Adrian grunted then let out a frustrated sigh before he said,"Let's go to the warehouse district then."

"But what if it's a trap?",Imp asked. Adrian looked at Imp then said,"Then it's a trap we'll need to go to anyway." The trio then began making their way towards the warehouse district.

In the warehouse district, Devel sat on a crate in a warehouse and threw the smart that was in his hand off the side before saying,"Now your friends on the way. They're coming to save you." Devel's appearance had changed since he was last seen. His hair was now frazzled and he took out all the pins so it was now just all over his head, his eyes were a pale violet and his nails were now all black, and his hair was also now white in color. He had changed his clothes so that he wore a white t-shirt, dark grey jeans, faded black sneakers as well as a tattered black cloak around his shoulders.

Zeke, who was tied to one of the support beams, looked at Devel and said,"Devel, we wanna help you. Just let me go and I can make sure that."

"Shut up! SHUT UP! I don't want your help, all I want is for you and your friends dead! I hate every single one of you and want all of you gone, you especially!",Devel shouted in anger and insanity while getting in Zeke's face. He then walked away from Zeke and Zeke looked down at his feet before looking up at Devel with an expression of determination and resolve before saying,"Then let's do this."

Devel looked at Zeke and said,"What?"

"You said you hate me and want me dead the most right? Then untie me and fight me right here, right now.",Zeke said to Devel. Devel chuckled crazilly then asked,"Why would I oblige such a request when I hate you?"

"Because you're Devel, the final boss of Will of God's World and my bugster. I know that if you fight me to the death then you'll get the most excitement you've ever had plus, you'd be rid of the one person that's kicked your ass several times over.",Zeke said, purposely goading Devel. Devel scowled at Zeke then he began laughing evilly before having energy swords shoot towards Zeke's bonds, releasing Zeke.

"You make an excellent point. Okay then Violetking, NO Zeke. Let's finally settle our little feud then shall we?!",Devel said crazily while putting his visor on his waist and taking out his gashat. Zeke rubbed his wrists then he took out his gashat and prepared himself. Both young men walked to the left until they were in the middle of the warehouse and many feet away from each other. Devel and Zeke scowled at one another, even as the both lifted their gashats and in unison said,"Game start." while putting their gashats into their devices.

"DESCEND FROM HEAVEN, ASCEND FROM HELL! CHANGE YOUR FATE! THIS IS, THE WILL OF GOD'S WORLD!",Devel's buggle driver announced as he changed into Shin Devil Deus.

"GOOD OR EVIL WHICH WILL HE BE? WE'LL JUST HAVE TO SEE WHILE ON THE WANDERER'S JOURNEY!",Zeke's gashat announced as he changed into Violetking.

Shin Devil Deus and Violetking stared at one another for what felt like ages as they revealed their weapons, Shin Devil Deus revealing his bugvisor in chainsaw mode while Violetking revealed his gashacon buster. The two warriors stood in silence for a few more moments then they both charged at one another while shouting at one another. Shin Devil Deus slashed at Violetking, who blocked the slash then slashed at Shin Devil Deus. Violetking slashed at Shin Devil Deus two times, both being dodged, before the colorful warrior parried a slash from Violetking.

Violetking and Shin Devil Deus slashed at each other five times, their weapons clashing with each slash. The two then clashed blades once more and pushed against one another, each one of them trying to overpower their opponent. Violetking grunted as he pushed against Shin Devil Deus, and Shin Devil Deus chuckled as he pushed against Violetking. The two were at a stalemate until the jumped back from each other and charged at each other once again.
