Kai and the Divine Medallion

Chapter 29: Separate Battles

Things didn't look bright for Hazel. Kai was knocked out, Diveman could dive underground, and Hazel was on her own against the ultimate defense.

"Think, Hazel," Hazel thought. "This guy can dive underground before you can pull out any attack. He then retaliates with either a tidal wave or torpedoes. He can also get past your own barrier. What can I do to beat him."

Diveman began to charge straight for Hazel. Hazel grabbed Kai and jumped out of the way. She then propped Kai up against a wall.

"Stay right here," Hazel said.

Hazel pulled out her hammer and charged straight for Diveman. She swung her hammer towards Diveman. Diveman dove underground before she could hit, however. Hazel then began to move. She watched the ground for Diveman. She then saw Diveman begin to rise in front of her. Hazel jumped to the side as Diveman began his attack.

Hazel swung her mighty hammer in a vertical attack towards Diveman. Diveman escaped underground. When Hazel's hammer hit the ground, the hit made a small hole.

"Damn," Hazel thought. "He dodged me again!"

Diveman appeared behind Hazel. He then blasted Hazel with a torpedo. Hazel fell to the ground and had a wound on her right arm. She then used a Cura spell to heal the wound.

"If this keeps up, I'll lose my power without even hitting him once," Hazel thought. "Should I use the Gyro Sphere? No. He can dodge it as well. If I can find out where and when he rises up, I might be able to hit him. But how do I do that?"

Meanwhile, Toad was running low on magical power as Blastman continued his assault.

"I can't seem to land a blow on this guy!" Toad thought. "We both specialize in distance attacks. Even if I keep my distance, he can still hit me."

Blastman covered his whole body with a flame.

"What the?!" Toad shouted.

Blastman charged for Toad with a flaming tackle. Toad jumped out of the way, but he felt the heat of the attack.

"That attack could scorch me!" Toad shouted.

"I have to help," Captain Falcon said.

"Shut up," Amelia said. "I'll do it."

Amelia stood up and pulled out her giant wrench. She then threw it like a boomerang towards Blastman, and it hit.

"I did it!" Amelia happily exclaimed.

Blastman only looked angry.

"I was going to kill the fungus first, but you have pissed me off!" Blastman shouted.

Blastman started a second flaming tackle towards Amelia.

"Look out!" Toad shouted.

Toad pushed Amelia out of the way. His leg, however, felt the full force of the attack. Toad screamed in absolute pain. His right leg was torched.

"Why did you do that?!" Amelia asked.

"We're allies," Toad said with his teeth clenched from the pain. "I won't let you die like that. I know that you'd do the same thing for me."

"But now you can't even walk!" Amelia shouted.

"Yeah, I didn't think that through," Toad said.

Blastman landed in front of them.

"This is where it ends," Blastman said as he focused a fireball into his right hand.

Meanwhile, Zero was still handling the crocodile book.

"Damn!" Zero shouted.

"You will eventually fall," Judgeman said. "Justice will be…"

"SHUT UP!!!" Zero shouted.

The seal on his stomach began to glow brightly. Zero felt the full power of his chakra. He ripped the huge book straight in half.

"Now then," Zero said. "Let's get this started."

"So you've been holding back," Judgeman said. "Your sentence will be harsher now."

"Don't think he's the only one," Serena said.

Serena stood up and pulled up her pant leg. On her ankles were leg-weights.

"How long were those on there?" Zero asked.

Serena removed the leg-weights and held them out to her side.

"Do you really believe that removing a few pounds will…" Judgeman began.

Serena dropped the weights. The weights crushed the ground below them and created huge craters. Zero and Judgeman were both surprised by this.

Serena then disappeared in a flash.

"Where did she…" Judgeman asked.

Serena appeared behind him. She then began to rapidly punch and kick Judgeman. Judgeman felt the full force of the attack. Serena disappeared and reappeared behind him in the blink of an eye. She then pulled out two knives and began to hack and slash at the navi. Zero watched in astonishment at this girl. Soon, Judgeman was on the ground.

"What the heck are you doing?" Serena asked. "Zero, get moving!"

"Right," Zero said.

Zero formed a few hand-signs.

"Shadow-Clone Jutsu!" Zero shouted.

Four more Zeros appeared.

"Let's do this!" all of the Zeros said.

Serena nodded her head as if she understood what Zero was thinking.

The five Zeros charged forward towards Judgeman. Judgeman saw as Zero got up to him. Four of them kicked Judgeman straight up into the air. Serena ran up to the fifth. The fifth Zero launched Serena into the air. He himself then jumped up below Judgeman as Serena flew above him.

"Twin Barrage attack!!!" Zero and Serena shouted together.

Serena kicked down on Judgeman as Zero hit him with an uppercut. Judgeman was squeezed outwards. Serena then grabbed Zero mid-air and threw him towards Judgeman. Zero focused his chakra into his right hand.

"Meteor Blast Jutsu!" Zero shouted.

Zero used his jutsu to slam Judgeman straight into the wall. Zero and Serena landed on the ground, the four other Zeros disappeared in a cloud of smoke, and Judgeman crashed into the ground.

"I…failed," Judgeman groaned.

He then changed to a purple light and exploded.

"I guess we deleted him," Serena said.

Zero fell to the ground.

"I hate it when this happens," Zero said painfully. "I guess it was either this or death by a book."

"Now how do we get out of here?" Serena asked.

Meanwhile, Blastman was prepared for his final attack.

"Falcon Kick!" Captain Falcon shouted.

Captain Falcon performed a flaming kick that blew Blastman away.

"Raptor Boost!" Captain Falcon shouted.

He performed a flaming uppercut that shot Blastman into the air. Captain Falcon then jumped into the air and grabbed Blastman.

"Falcon Dive!" Captain Falcon shouted.

Captain Falcon blew Blastman away with an explosion. Blastman crashed into a wall while Captain Falcon landed on his feet. He then groaned with pain as he clutched his stomach.

"Captain!" Toad shouted.

Blastman crawled out of the wall.

"I WILL NOT BE DEFEATED!!!" Blastman shouted.

"Enough!" Toad shouted.

Toad focused one last spell into his right hand.

"Amelia, throw me!" Toad shouted.

"What do you…" Amelia began.

"Just throw me!" Toad shouted.

Amelia grabbed Toad and threw him towards Blastman. Toad's magic energy in his right hand became filled with a multitude of colors. Blastman turned to face Toad and filled his hand with a fireball.

"Ultima!!!" Toad shouted.

The two attacks collided. Toad's spell, however, bested the fireball. A huge explosion completely engulfed and destroyed Blastman. Toad crashed landed on the ground.

"That hurt," Toad said.

"But at least Blastman is dead," Amelia said. "Now I can focus on getting us out of here."

Amelia began to click wildly on the keyboard. Meanwhile, Hazel was trying to hit Diveman, who kept dodging her attacks. She also dodged Diveman's torpedoes. By now, there were many craters in the ground.

"I'm running low on energy," Hazel thought. "I have to finish this quickly."

Diveman taunted her by diving underground and resurfacing over and over. Hazel watched Diveman move.

"Wait a minute," Hazel thought. "He can only seem to dive into and resurface from undamaged tiles. And I can see wires in the damaged floors. Then that means…I've got it!"

Hazel focused a large Gyro Sphere into her right hand.

"You won't hit me with that!" Diveman shouted.

"It's not for you," Hazel said.

She slammed the attack straight into the ground. A huge wave of energy spread across the room and destroyed the floor. Diveman was sent flying straight into the air by the force of the attack.

"Checkmate," Hazel said from below him.

Hazel jumped in the air with another Gyro Sphere in her hand. She slammed it straight into Diveman's chest. Diveman was sent spinning wildly through the air. He continued to spin even when he hit the wall. This created a huge, spiral-shaped crater in the wall. Diveman then fell into the damaged floor. Hazel landed on the ground as well.

"You're ultimate defense has a weakness," Hazel said. "You can travel through the ground through a network. By destroying the network, you can't travel around. Not only that, I can blast you right out of the ground with a wave of magic. That was it. You have lost."

"Impossible," Diveman said.

Diveman was then deleted.

"Nice job," Kai said weakly.

Hazel ran over to him.

"How long have you been awake?" Hazel asked.

"I woke up about when I flew through the air by your attack," Kai said. "Nice job. That's why you're our group's tactician."

"Thanks," Hazel said as she helped Kai to stand.

"Now what do we do?" Kai asked.

Suddenly, an undamaged tile in front of them was glowing brightly.

"Maybe it's a good thing that nobody's perfect," Kai said.

Kai and Hazel stepped onto the glowing tile and teleported. Every member of Kai's group returned together in the hallway where they disappeared.

"You guys are alright!" Kai exclaimed.

"Toad, what happened to your leg?!" Hazel asked.

"Long story," Toad said.

Hazel began to heal Toad's leg. Zero walked up to Kai.

"So how much strength do you have?" Zero asked.

"Full strength," Kai said. "I ended up taking a nap mid-fight. Hazel, however, is running on near-empty."

Hazel's spell fizzled out after she was halfway through.

"Sorry Toad," Hazel said. "That was all I could do."

"No problem," Toad said. "I can at least walk now."

Toad was able to stand up on his own without any pain.

"But I doubt I can run," Toad said.

"No problem," Zero said. "Now then. Let's finish our mission."

The group continued down the path. Meanwhile, Dr. Wily slammed his fists on his computer table.

"DAMN IT!!!" Dr. Wily shouted. "Impossible! How did they beat my strongest forces?! And Colonel, of course, has gone A.W.O.L. Damn it! I hope you're almost finished…Iris."

Iris was working on two large robots. One had a pink diamond on its body while the other had a blue diamond on it.

"Of course," Iris said. "I will be done soon."

"I'm so glad I programmed you to be obedient," Dr. Wily said. "You might not be the strongest of my navis, but you sure are the most loyal."

"Yes," Iris said.

"Now then," Dr. Wily said. "Alright. It'll soon be time to release the Cybeasts on the world!"

Dr. Wily began to laugh evilly. His laughter echoed through the room. Will Kai be able to stop Dr. Wily? And where has Colonel gone?
