Lee and Xavier stared each other down. The inklings nervously watched from the office.

"O-Oh man." Callie said.

"This is gonna be fierce." Vee told Callie.

Xavier tilted his head and asked, "You really want it to end this way?"

"I never wanted this. Blame yourself!" Lee told him.

Lee charged towards Xavier, violently swinging his fists. Xavier blocked all of Lee's attacks and pushed him back.

"You're inexperienced, Eel." He said.

Lee ran towards Xavier and swung his leg around. Xavier grabbed it and tossed him into the air. Xavier flew towards Lee and kicked him higher into the air. Flying up past Lee, Xavier punched Lee in the chest, sending him crashing into the Earth. Xavier slowly descended until he touched the ground. Lee jumped up and shot dark balls of energy towards Xavier. Xavier, all while walking towards Lee, slapped the blasts away. Lee tried to grab Xavier with his shadow arms, but missed as Xavier jumped into the air. Xavier blasted Lee with his light energy.

Lee stumbled back, trying to regain his balance. Xavier flew straight towards the exposed Lee. Xavier kicked Lee upside his head. Lee fell backwards, landing hard against the dirt. He winced in pain. Xavier crouched down, shaking his head.

"Those inklings have made you weak and your mindset has allowed you think you were only getting stronger. No one improves themselves on the lowest difficulty, Eel." He told Lee.

Lee jumped up and kicked Xavier. Xavier bounced off the ground and onto his feet.

"Then what do you call that?" Lee asked.

"...The lowest difficulty..."

Lee tried to frown, but his shocked face was frozen stiff. He growled and charged Xavier blindly. Xavier twisted around and roundhouse kicked Lee in an instant. His leg still on Lee's neck and shoulder, Xavier forced Lee to the ground, putting his foot on Lee's head.

"Lee!" Callie yelled.

"Lee! Get up!" Vee yelled.

"Yes, Eel." Xavier said.

Lee bared his teeth as his eyes were closed shut.

"Get..up. Now!"

Lee struggled to stand up as Xavier held him down with his foot.

"You're making a mockery of our father. You were the one he spent the most time with. He worked on you the most. He spent various resources on you! Show me what he wasted a portion of his life on!"

Lee forced his head up slowly until he could jump out of Xavier's hold. Xavier took a step back as Lee lunged at Xavier with his right normal and shadow fist. Xavier dodged the blow and slashed at Lee with his Brightness. He cut Lee's left arm and kicked him away. Lee threw some more punches, landing none of them. Xavier was too quick, quicker than anything Lee had ever faced.

"Why! Can't! I! Hit! You?!" Lee shouted while swinging his fists.

"Like I said, Eel. You're inexperienced. You've never had a real challenge." Xavier told him.

Xavier swiftly got around Lee and punched him in the back. While Lee arched his back in pain, Xavier wrapped around him and punched him in the gut. Lee bent down, groaning. Xavier bicycle kicked Lee in the face, lifting him 20ft into the air. Lee crashed into the ground, blood trickling out of his nose.

"You don't stand a chance."

Lee got up from the ground slowly, coughing and groaning. He wiped away blood from his nose. Xavier snarled and kicked Lee back down, hard. Lee was heavily bleeding out his nose now. Xavier stomped Lee's head twice and kicked him away.

"You're pathetic, Eel!"

Lee rolled a several feet away from Xavier. Lee stood up and charged at Xavier again. Xaiver sidestepped and kneed Lee in the abdomen. He grabbed Lee's head and punched him dead in the mouth. Blood poured from Lee's mouth.

"Disgraceful. 'Father's greatest achievement' my ass! You're a damn dirty disappointment, Eel."

Lee grabbed Xavier's arm and threw him to the ground. He had managed to bust Xavier's lip. Lee threw Xavier away, allowing Xavier to recover.

"Hmm. Seems that I was losing myself there. Lesson learned." He said.

"Not yet, Xavier...I'm still..gonna...defeat you..." Lee said.

"Oh please, Eel. I've had countless years of training. You've been up and about for less than a year."

"I'm gonna...rip you...limb...from..."

Lee kneeled down to the ground.

"Feel that, Eel? That's genuine pain. Genuine damage. Genuine regret. I bet you haven't felt it in quite a while."

"How...I am...hurt...this badly?"

"I'm not one of these weakling octarians nor one of these weakling inklings. Remember that!"

Lee shot dark balls of energy at Xavier again. Xavier put up a thin shield composed of nothing but light. The dark blasts were ineffective. Xavier his shield down and frowned.

"You're giving your all and you still can't amount to me, Eel. Maybe I should kill one of these inklings for motivation." He said.

"Don't you dare!" Lee yelled.

"Then maybe you should actually start fighting."

Lee charged Xavier and assaulted him with hundreds of punches. Not a single one made contact as Xavier expertly dodged them all. It was like Lee's hands and Xavier were magnets on their North side.

"Just go down already!" Lee shouted.

"Why? You've inflicted minor damage and nothing more. Because you're weak!" Xavier told Lee.

Xavier headbutted Lee and then punched him in his jaw. Lee fell back down. He groaned and lied down. He laid on the ground, almost motionless.

"That's it, huh? I had expected you to fight for at least a bit longer, but oh well. You've made it clear." Xavier said.

Xavier walked into the office.

"S-Stay back!" Callie told Xavier, putting Vee in front of her.

"Get off of me, coward!" Vee said.

"Oh don't you two worry. I'll be killing you shortly. But first, I have to deal with him." Xavier said.

Xavier tore through a part of the wall and pulled out one of the Human Reverters.

"Wait! Don't!" Callie begged.

"Quiet, woman! I could kill you now if that's what you want." Xavier told Callie.

Callie reluctantly silenced herself. Xavier walked over to Lee and pointed the weapon at him. Lee opened his eyes.

"..N-No..." He groaned.

"Father wasted his time with you. You've shown me just how weak you are. No one deserves this horrid power, so now, you're going back to how you were. And then...maybe you can come back as someone more obedient." Xavier said.

Xavier fired the Human Reverter at Lee, surrounding him in a thick, erratic aura tinged orange. Lee's shadow arms slowly faded away. His hair was changed, now colored brown. His teeth were no longer sharp. Only his four canines were, but similar to the average 14-year-old's. His left eye became blue, but his right remained red. His skin remained brown, but of a lighter shade. His nails were no longer sharp.

His powers were now revoked as he now became human. A full blown human. Nothing but flesh, bones, the works.

"It's over now, Eel." Xavier said, picking Lee up.

Xavier slammed Lee unconscious.

"I've won."

Lee opened his eyes slowly. He looked around, panicking as his surroundings were nothing but space. Different shades of black, purple, red, green, blue, and even teal were cascaded around, even though the majority of his surroundings were black like the night.

"Where am I?! Where is Callie?! Marie?! Vee?! Anyone?!" Lee shouted.

He was surprised that he could breathe and talk. Just then, a figure rose from behind Lee.

"Eel Commons. Face me..."

Lee slowly turned around and saw the monumental figure. He dressed in black, white, green, and red robes. His face showcased his moustache and beard. He looked so young. Not child-like, but no older than 30. And he was covered...in fur?

"Who are you?" Lee asked.

"The one who gave you your powers."

Lee gasped.

"Rami Salyers?!"

"The one...and...only." Rami said.

"You're..the one who cursed me...with that power!"

"Oh don't even start. Without me, you'd be dead."

"I guess that's true...Where are we?"

"This is part of my realm. You're unconscious. That Xavier gave you a real beating."

"Yeah, I know."

"I never meant for my powers to be abused like that. All I ever wanted was the best for this world. That fool, Xavier, won't stop until he ruins my desire...I've failed you father."

"So, stop him!"

"I can't."

"Why not? What're you, scared?!"

"Don't question me, boy! Believe me, I am not scared and far more powerful than any being could ever comprehend! I'd stop him if I could!"

Rami's voice boomed so loudly, Lee had to cover his ears. Rami was surrounded in a thick purple aura. His eyes were engulfed in red and thousands of shadow arms sprouted from him.

"My a-apologies, sir!"

Rami retracted his shadow arms. His eyes were their normal color with only the iris being red. The aura faded away.

"I cannot directly affect my world. Only indirectly. It was the price of becoming a deity. If not for that stupid rule, I would've already obliterated that damned traitor Xavier."

"Well, I'm sorry, but I failed. He was much stronger and experienced. I didn't stand a chance."

"No. You did not. I blame myself for not doing this earlier, but..I'm going to do you a solid, so to speak."

Lee raised an eyebrow.

"What?"

"I'm sending you back there to fight him."

"I'm going to lose again!"

"No you're not. I'm going to imbue you with more of my Darkness. A much stronger amount. You will have your powers back tenfold. I hope that will be enough to deal with Xavier."

Rami held out his hand and shot Lee with a beam of Darkness. He felt it flooding back into him. The power. The insanity. The monstrous presence. Everything was back and tons stronger than before.

"Dark Lee 2...Yes, I heard you talk about naming yourself that. Now, go and save my world."

"Wait! I have so many more questions!"

"I'm sorry, but now isn't the time."

"B-But-"

"Go! Use my powers and destroy Xavier Commons. Your father believes in you."

"..How would you know.."

"Let's just say, we keep in touch."

Rami smiled. Lee's face brimmed with happiness.

"R-Really?"

"Yes, Lee...I will see you again.."

Rami sealed Lee in bubble and transported him back into his body. Lee sprang upwards and exploded in power. Xavier, who was ready to strike Callie, turned around. He gasped in awe, seeing Lee's purple aura and now erect purple hair flowing along with the aura. Although he no longer had shadow arms, that didn't deter his intentions.

"What?! How did...how did you..." Xavier said.

"Xavier Commons. You will no longer continue your evil ways! I will never allow you to roam freely ever again!" Lee responded.

Lee grabbed Xavier instantaneously and threw him away from Callie. Xavier stood up and prepared to fight Lee.

"I am Earth's Last Hope! I am Eel Commons and as my father and Rami Salyers as my witnesses, I'LL DESTROY YOU!"

Sorry everyone, but I'll have to delay the next chapter again. I would've finished it up tonight, but I'm back up with my forgotten homework. Until told otherwise, The next chapter will drop some time the approaching week. Thanks for understanding. The next chapter will have slightly more content/ word count to show my appreciation for your understanding. It'll be bumped up 300-500+ words.

Thank you once again, and I will see you once that chapter drops. Oh, and one last thing..The story is coming to an end soon. The next chapter will be the second to last chapter. I have decided to make a sequel later in the year. The explanation for Rami being a god will be in the sequel. For those who don't know, Rami is a character from my fanfic and, more or less, my OC.

I decided to put Just Perfect III on a hiatus as to focus on Rami's rise to power, so to speak. A lot more will be explained later on. As for now, prepare for a chapter drop this upcoming week. An with that, I bid you all adieu, for now.
