Chapter 28: the Warrior returns
Back in the Glatorian arena, things weren't looking too good for Grun or his allies. As Grun dashed and ducked behind one rock after another to avoid gunfire, more and more of his men continued to fall. It almost sickened Grun, the fact that Aldus and his followers were capable of such violence. Almost, for they had been willing to do the same time and time again just to prevail, some just to get out alive.
The difference was that the Protection Army had fought brutally because they had to. The Skull Gang fought brutally because they wanted to, because they felt the urge to kill, rather than the need to survive. when someone elses life was in their hands, they always played with it or just took it out of pure boredom or pleasure. It was because of this, that Grun was not about to let Aldus win this war. No matter how many soldiers would die, he would keep fighting. At least his soldiers had something worth fighting for.
But as Grun looked from side to side, he only spotted nine other soldiers. Not a good sign, as they had come in with thirty soldiers. It was evident to Grun then as he turned and peeked over his rock/cover, spotting at least fifty other Skull Soldiers, that this could be their last battle ever. Grun shut his eyes tightly, trying not to look hopeless in front of his men, as he realized that there was no way he was getting out of this alive. He opened his eyes then, deciding to stay strong for his soldiers as he r his laser crossbow. If they were going down tonight, thy were going down with as big of a fight, or with whatever fight they all had left. Grun took a deep breath as the rest of his men reloaded their own weapons, getting ready to go out like a male.
All of the Skull Soldiers simply laughed as they heard the Protection Army Soldiers reload their guns, all of them knowing just as well as Grun did that they were going to lose this battle the second they rose again to fire. In a way they found it adorable, the way Grun and his men still wanted to try facing impossible odds and come out victorious. But if there was one thing that wars like this proved, it was that "heroes" like Grun, always died.
"Give it up Grun"! One of them taunted. "There's no way you're gonna win now! You all are done"!
'Not yet'. Grun thought, having now prepared to fight his final battle with dignity. But just as he and his men were about to rise to fight for the last time, everyone heard a loud explosion. All of the Skull Soldiers turned quickly to the sight of a massive hole in the wall, fifty Skull Soldiers dead and sprawled out in several places in front of it. Each Skull Soldier gazed at first in confusion, wondering just what could've been the cause. 'A suicide bomber maybe'? One thought. 'Nah, not Grun's taste.' He decided.
A second later, every Skull Soldier gazed and shrunk in fear at the sight of the creature who walked out, wielding his kannabo in his right hand, and fire encasing his left hand. It was Ghost Warrior. 'But HOW'?! they thought fearfully. They had seen and/or heard that Aldus had taken Joey's powers away! This should've been impossible!
Curious as to what the explosion had been as well, Grun peeked up from the rock he was behind, smiling in relief as he spotted the Ghost Warrior gazing towards the evidently frightened Skull Soldiers. The other Protection Army soldiers had also spotted him then, all cheering at the sight. Grun smiled in agreement with his men. Aldus had failed to keep the Nui Power from Joey. The Warrior had returned!
"Evidently not Skull punk"! Grun shouted, in response to what the Skull Soldier had said earlier.

Hearing the cheering, Galva left Evo alone for a second and gazed down the cliff over the rock they had been hiding behind. 'Protection Army soldiers were just dying left and right'. Galva thought. 'What reason could they possibly have to be happy right now with a soldier dying every second and Joey still in captivity.
Galva smiled widely then as she spotted Ghost Warrior, wielding his weapon and ready to finish the fight once and for all. She cheer gladly and proudly, knowing that this had meant Joey had learned from his mistake, and had finally decided to accept that this was a good thing, and not as bad as he thought it was. She didn't know how Joey had come to this realization, or how he had gotten his powers back, but regardless, the Warrior was back, and hopefully was here to stay for as long as he was needed.
"Show them why we call you a warrior Joey"!She cheered down at him.

Ghost Warrior heard Galva's cheer and smirked, deciding to do just as she said. The Skull Soldiers were snapped out of their fearful daze as Ghost Warrior stomped towards them, all of them firing their weapons at him in response. Ghost Warrior let out a roar and charged faster as the bullets all bounced off of him, running over ten of them, knocking them out instantly. Ghost Warrior turned to the remaining Skull Soldiers and stretched his left hand towards them, striking lightning towards them, shocking and knocking out twenty more.
Realizing that guns weren't going to do anything, the remaining twenty Skull Soldiers all dropped their guns and took out baseball bats, machetes and knives. As afraid as they were of him, perhaps close range fighting would do the job. Ghost Warrior smirked at the Skull Soldiers, walking slowly towards them. One Skull Soldier charged towards him, attempting a swing with his metal bat. Ghost Warrior acted fast, making a punching motion towards him, fire emerging from it and hitting the Skull Soldier, catching his face on fire. The Skull Soldier screamed in pain, and dropped the pat, slapping at his own face to put out the fire. Ghost Warrior took the distraction as an opportunity, punching him in the face with the same fist, both putting out the fire and knocking him to the ground unconscious.
Eighteen of the other Skull Soldiers charged immediately, as the nineteenth ran away to get something. Ghost Warrior proceeded to walk slowly towards them. He swung his kannabo at the first two to reach them, striking them across the faces and knocking them out. Three others swung their machetes at him. Ghost Warrior blocked all three machetes with his kannabo, then kicking one back into five others that had been charging. Ghost Warrior flipped behind one on his right, then swinging his kannabo at his head, knocking him forward into the second Skull Soldier, knocking them both down, the whom he had hit, unconscious. Ghost Warrior turned to his right, swinging his kannabo towards a machete swinging his way. The machete broke into pieces on impact with the kannabo before Ghost Warrior knocked out this same Skull Soldier with a head butt.
Ghost Warrior turned towards another charging Skull Soldier, who jumped upwards and attempted a kick to his chest. The kick failed and he collapsed to the ground. Ghost Warrior chuckled, amused, before kicking him, knocking him through the air, and into three other charging Skull Soldiers, knocking them all out. Ghost Warrior spun towards the other Skull Soldier from earlier with a spin kick, knocking the Skull Soldier out instantly. Ghost Warrior turned towards the five other charging Skull Soldiers, fire punching the first one quickly, and then swinging his kannabo, only one of them ducking down in time to dodge, knocking the four out. The fifth Skull Soldier rolled away from a downwards kannabo swing, then taking the opportunity while Ghost Warrior was still bent down to jab him in the face three times. Ghost Warrior groaned in boredom at the jabs, none of them doing anything, before punching him in the chest, knocking him fast through the air, and through another wall in the rectangular building, knocking him out.
As Ghost Warrior rose back to his feet, he became aware of the last four Skull Soldiers circling around him, three wielding machetes and the last one cautiously holding a knife, all in defense stances. Ghost Warrior simply chuckled, placing his kannabo back on the magnet on his back, then raising his fists. the first Skull Soldier behind him charged first, swinging his machete towards Ghost Warriors head. Ghost Warrior turned quickly towards the Skull Soldier, ducking back and them punching the hand that held the weapon. The Skull soldier cried in pain as his hand broke instantly, dropping the machete. Ghost Warrior picked the Soldier up by his legs and swung him towards another charging Skull Soldier. Both of the Skull Soldiers heads collided, both of them being knocked out.
Ghost Warrior dropped the unconscious Skull Soldier and turned his attention toward the two remaining Skull Soldiers whom charged, and crouched down a bit. When the first one reached him, he swung a knife. Ghost Warrior ducked back a bit, then grabbed him by the shoulder with his left hand, and pushed him back in time to elbow the other charging Skull Soldier in the face, knocking him out.
The Skull Soldier Ghost Warrior pushed back, rolled to his feet and reached an arm toward his knife. Ghost Warrior smirked at this. 'Not a chance buddy'. Ghost Warrior thought as he then dashed towards him, grabbing him in a roll before the Skull Soldier had the slightest chance of reaching the knife. Ghost Warrior then rolled to his feet, and threw the Skull Warrior down towards the ground and leaned down, roaring viciously in his face. The Skull Soldier screamed in terror in response to the roar before Ghost Warrior rose and stomped on his face, knocking him out.
"Hey"! Ghost Warrior heard the last Skull Soldier shout from a few feet in front of him.
Ghost Warrior looked up quickly in time to see said Skull Soldier fire a bazooka at him, hitting him and knocking him into one of the farther rock walls. The Skull Soldier smirked wider then, aiming up at the rocky ledges over him and fired the next missile at it. The missile flew quickly from the bazooka and hit the the ledge, the explosion creating large chunks of rubble that fell on the collapsed Ghost Warrior. A s a large cloud of dust surrounded the scene, the Skull Soldier laughed victoriously.
"You're seriously beaten by a few rocks"?! The Skull Soldier called out. He scoffed. "You're not as tough as they say".
Just as the Skull Soldier had finished that second statement, he noticed an orange glow start to become visible, and the sound of boulders being easily moved away. In curiosity, the Skull Soldier squinted at the strange glow, seeing if this would give him a better look at it. He widened his eyes in fear as he noticed the glow start to bet brighter. Enough of the dust eventually cleared to reveal the Ghost Warriors blue Skakdi-like head, the bright light shining inside his open mouth.
Before the Skull Soldier had time to react, a ray of fire erupted from Ghost Warriors mouth, hitting him in a split second, and disintegrating him into burning ashes.
Gruns mouth dropped open and his eyes widened at the sight. He had seen Ghost Warrior beat Crumble to a pulp, shoot lightning, and beat Skull Soldiers in seconds with his bare fists. Never had he expected to see Ghost Warrior fire fire from his mouth like a Kanohi Dragon. But the Protection Army quickly regained his composure, deciding to stay serious, as cool as that move had been.
With the Skull Soldiers having all been beaten. Ghost Warrior removed the kannabo from the magnet on his back, and raised it in the air as he roared victoriously. This roar was followed by cheers from the remaining nine Protection Army Soldiers, and a wide, thankful smile from Grun. By coming in to fight off the rest of the Skull Soldiers, Ghost Warrior had saved the lives of those who remained in the Protection Army. Also thanks to him, Aldus had no more soldiers at his disposal to use. The war was almost finally over. Ghost Warrior spotted the Le-Matorans smile and nodded back in response, as if to say it was nothing, and no matter what, he would always be there to help his friends, and that from now on, the Ghost Warrior was there to stay, ready to help Grun out with any matter, should he need him.'
"NO" Everyone heard a familiar voice shout.
Ghost Warrior looked quickly towards the source of the sound, spotting Crumble sliding down a hill-tilted rock wall on his clawed feet. Ghost Warrior braced himself, knowing another fight with the mutated Skakdi was coming, hopefully the last one. Ghost Warrior smirked as he waited, ready to pay Crumble back for chasing after them for all of this time. Besides, after him, there would be one last Skakdi to take down, thus ending the war, hopefully once and for all.
Three seconds away from reaching the bottom, Crumble jumped from his current spot on the hill-tilted rock wall, moving high into the air, before eventually landing a few feet in front of him. Crumble growled angrily at Ghost Warrior as he raised his red fists. Ghost Warrior almost chuckled now at the sight. If he was willing to waste time with puns, he would've told the mutated Skakdi that his fists were big enough to rival Lugnuts.
Without time to waste, Crumble charged towards Ghost Warrior, whom charged towards him as well. Upon reaching him, Crumble swung a fist upwards, uppercutting Ghost Warrior and causing him to stumble back a bit. Crumble took this opportunity immediately, dashing towards him, and knocking him down with his shoulder. Crumble didn't wait for Ghost Warrior to get up, pinning him down with a single arm and punching him with the fist on his other arm. Ghost Warrior roared menacingly in response to these hits, smacking him across his Garai with his kannabo.
The hit knocked Crumble off of him, landing a foot away. As both creatures rose to their feet, Crumble remembered the fact that his mask was the Kanohi Garai, the mask of gravity. Crumble chuckled darkly as he gazed at a charging Ghost Warrior, his mask glowing a sickly yellow as he activated his mask power at full blast. He widened his eyes in shock as the mask power did nothing, Ghost Warrior continuing to charge. Crumble growled in aggravation, punching Ghost Warrior in the face once he had reached him.
Ghost Warrior retaliated by kicking Crumble full force with both legs from the ground, the hit knocking Crumble farther back into a rocky wall, which cracked in response. Crumble was ready when Ghost Warrior reached him, quickly grabbing him by the back of the head and bashing it into the rock wall, hard enough to crack it. Ghost Warrior growled in response, then elbowing Crumble hard in the face and then punching him across the face again with his left fist. Crumble retaliated by swinging his right fist at Ghost Warriors face, then delivering a lefts jab into his chest, causing him the stagger back a bit. With the Warrior distracted, Crumble wrapped his arms around him, then tossing him as hard as he could into the rock wall. Ghost Warrior hit the rock wall hard, his right arm becoming trapped in it.
Crumble acted fast, punching and jabbing at Ghost Warrior repeatedly as his arm remained trapped. Ghost Warrior turned his head quickly to Crumble, letting out a short blast of fire from his mouth. Said short blast hit Crumble in the face, stunning him back a bit. Luckily not too far as Ghost Warrior had finally pulled his arm from the rock wall, using the leftover force from the pull to punch Crumble across the face, the punch strong enough to knock him off of his feet.
Ghost Warrior jumped onto the mutated Skakdi then, pinning him down as he swung both fists at his mask repeatedly. Crumble growled in response, headbutting him to get him off before rolling back towards one of the large rocks scattered across the arena. Crumble wasted no time in picking it up and tossing it towards Ghost Warrior. Ghost Warrior saw the rock coming and quickly pulled out his kannabo, tossing it towards the boulder. The kannabo smashed through the boulder, stopping its motion upon hitting Crumble in the left shoulder, dislocating it.
Crumble roared it pain as he felt said shoulder dislocate, grabbing it with his right hand quickly in order to attempt to snap it back in place. Crumble never got the chance however as Ghost Warrior grabbed him around the waist, then lifting him up and violently tossing him to the ground. Crumble roared in rage, then turning onto his front and attempting to force himself up with his right arm, only for Ghost Warrior to knock him back down, smashing a chunk from the boulder on his back.
In that very second, Crumble began to feet his body weaken, barely being able to move at all now. Seeing this, Ghost Warrior stomped hard onto Crumble's back, snapping it instantly, causing Crumble to roar in pain. Now immobile, and in too much pain, Crumble sorrowfully accepted his own defeat as Ghost Warrior kicked him hard one last time, knocking him into another large rock and shattering it.
Setting: Ghost Warrior and Crumble fight, this time, Ghost Warrior perfectly blocks and counter acts his skills, eventually beating him to the ground and sending him rolling across the ground.
