30. Chapter 30

Hello all Storm here with a new chapter! It's been a while since this was updated, but I'm back and with a very special and long chapter, here we'll be seeing the main event the match between Naruto and CodeMaster Crellan, and we'll be seeing all the battles this time around! Along with Crellan showcasing some other powerful Creatures of Prexxor Chasm, I'd also like to give special thanks to "Okto, The Wandispider" over on the Chaotic Discord Server for letting me use their OC Creatures Logmmmak and Kaeroa, along help in creating the stats for Loup and Jackal (Loup being the unknown wolf-like Creature from "Blight Fight" and Jackal the one from "Chasm Quest". So, without further, let's get chaotic!

I own nothing

"How's the progress coming?" Naruto asked after porting to Castle Bodhran to meet Bodal and Ulmar, having commissioned them both for a special project to make, while needing a Location they'd both meet at.

"It'd be finished already human, if I didn't have to deal with this dimwitted loudmouth that's even slower than that idiot Igrog!" Ulmar said while glaring at Bodal, who gave him a look of indignation.

"Dimwitted?! Slow?! I'll remind you that I was handpicked by Maxxor to oversee the OverWorld's arsenal of BattleGear. I know more about BattleGear construction, deconstruction, maintenance, and design than you could ever hope to know. If I was just asked to build this device, it would have been finished within a day. Yet you constantly wish to add such unnecessary additions that it's miracle we haven't been blown up." Retorted Bodal, making the UnderWorlder growl in annoyance.

"Yeah, handpicked alright! You were just chosen so no one had to listen to you talk for hours on end! That's why you were picked! And lest you forget, I've created some of the deadliest BattleGear in Perim and I didn't need to be picked, my genius was simply recognized to where even Chaor knew that I'm the one who'll make the greatest BattleGear!" Shouted Ulmar, only for Bidal to smirk at him.

"And yet the UnderWorld also has Khybon, who seems to have a reputation for building some very devastating BattleGear as well, while the OverWorld only required my intelligence. Also, I live in Kiru City, while you are put in a castle far away from UnderWorld City." Bodal stated, with Ulmar simply laughing at him.

"HA! Jokes on you, I chose to live away from UnderWorld City because I hate everyone equally! And Khybon may build BattleGear, but I have the brains to think of and design ones you couldn't even hope to dream of." Ulmar said with smirk, with Naruto sighing at seeing them get into another argument from their pride clashing, but knew this would happen when he got both of them to help.

"So it's almost finished then." Naruto stated while looking over the large crystal screens the two scientists were working on.

Having gotten Ulmar and Bodal to combine the inter-dimensional communication function of the Code Scanners, the televisions that show matches in Chaotic, and the Viewing Crystals here in Perim. Along with adding some Fūinjutsu into the mix.

"Yes, they should in fact be finished momentarily. But if you don't mind me asking, Naruto, why exactly did you want us to build these?" Bodal asked while looking at the whiskered blonde, having found the request rather strange, a sentiment Ulmar shared but wouldn't admit to agreeing with an OverWorlder.

"I have a special DromeMatch coming up in Chaotic soon and I want my friends in the Tribes to be able to see it." Replied Naruto, wanting his friends in Perim to see his CodeMaster Match against Crellan, knowing it'll definitely be an intense one.

With the answer intriguing Bodal and Ulmar, that he'd show the other Tribes one his Chaotic Matches. Something none of them ever put much stock into unless it'd be useful for them.

"Hmph, I guess that'd be useful to see, especially if you're going to use other M'arrillians." Ulmar said, knowing the Tribes would be interested in seeing how M'arrillians fight and what they can do.

"For once, you actually said something smart. One other thing, I'm sure Najarin and Afjak would be interested in studying this, what did you call it, Fūinjutsu. As it does remind me of the symbols on Mugic." Said Bodal, interested in the Fūinjutsu Naruto added to the screens.

"As if that fossil would be able to understand any of it, Kopond would find far more uses in studying this stuff. Even better if I could use it in some new BattleGear." Ulmar retorted, wanting Kopond to study the Fūinjutsu while imagining the BattleGear he could create with these seals.

"You mean destructive uses. The better use would be helping to improve life for Perim, rather than finding new ways to destroy everything." Bodal said while narrowing his eyes at Ulmar, who scoffed at his words.

"Yes, I'm sure it'll be very useful when the M'arrillians arrive and we don't have better BattleGear or Mugic to use against them." Said Ulmar with the two glaring at each other.

"I'll think about it, but right now, I'd prefer finishing the screens and delivering them." Said Naruto before things could escalate, with both BattleGear Specialists, thankfully, returning to their work.

With it not being long before all the screens were finished, as he sealed them all away before porting off to deliver them to his friends.

*Later-Chaotic*

'And that's finished.' Naruto thought as he ported into the Port Court, having finished delivering the screens.

Having taken them to Maxxor, Najarin, Afjak, Intress and Aivenna in the OverWorld; Chaor, Takinom, Nivenna, Agitos and H'earring in the UnderWorld; Mudeenu, Iflar and Siado in the Mipedim Oasis while being disappointed to learn that Malvadine was currently out on a mission, after how well they hit things off in Gothos Tower; as well as Aszil, Wamma and Odu-Bathax in Mount Pillar. Having told them all what they did and why he had them built, something that intrigued the Creatures at being able to see a DromeMatch firsthand.

Spotting his friends at a table, Naruto headed over to them while noticing Kit was absent, which was understandable.

'He's probably preparing his own Battle Team and it'll probably be filled with Creatures from Prexxor Chasm.' Thought Naruto, knowing that for all his time in Prexxor Chasm, even he hasn't seen many of the Creatures there, only hearing about a few from Ursis and Ariak that they've encountered before.

"Hey dude, glad you're back!" Peyton said as Naruto sat down.

"Yeah, I just needed to make a few trips around Perim." Replied Naruto getting their attention.

"Was it to get some scans for your CodeMaster Match?" Tom asked as while he hasn't been officially challenged yet, with seven wins in the Crellan Drome it's only a matter of time.

"Have you even decided on what team you'll be using against Crellan?" Questioned Kaz, knowing how difficult it is to face a CodeMaster and that you'd need to be extra prepared and be ready for anything.

"It wasn't to get any new scans since I already have my team, Locations and Mugic picked out. But I'm still nervous, this isn't going to be like any match I've had before." Naruto said, not denying he's nervous about facing Crellan, knowing it'll likely be his toughest match yet.

"That's understandable, you'd be crazy not to be nervous about facing a CodeMaster. But just be confident, after all, don't forget that Crellan uses Prexxor Chasm and the Creatures that live there. With it helping that you lived there yourself for a while and know it better than anyone." Said Sarah, with Tom, Kaz and Peyton nodding in agreement, believing Naruto would have the advantage with his own knowledge of Prexxor Chasm.

"Maybe, but I only heard about the ones Ursis and Ariak encountered themselves, while seeing even fewer with how dangerous they are. There are probably still plenty more I haven't seen or heard of, while Crellan's had plenty of time to find, scan, and battle with them. All I can do is my best and prepare for anything." Naruto stated before his Scanner began ringing, getting all their attention as he answered it.

"Chaotic Phantom, CodeMaster Crellan challenges you to battle. Prepare your deck and report to the Crellan Drome in exactly seventy-two hours." Said the DromeMaster.

"Well, that timing couldn't have been better." Said Naruto before swallowing his nerves, knowing he had three days to prepare and get ready, and he'll make the most of it.

*Timeskip-Three Days*

After three days, which Naruto spent in the BetaDromes training with the Creatures he chosen in the Locations he planned to use. Thinking up different strategies to use for whatever Creatures Crellan will use, along with researching all his past matches to get a better feel for his own deck.

Now it was finally time, with the Uzumaki having already headed for the Crellan Drome, while his friends sat a table eager for the match to start.

"Oh man, this match is gonna be a big one." Kaz stated in excitement, with the others nodding in agreement.

"No kidding, with all those Creatures Naruto's scanned and the Locations he has, I think he'll have a real chance to win this." Said Tom, given Naruto's M'arrillian scans, being able to make mixed teams of Creatures that work together, and then having Ursis as his ace.

"We'll just have to wait and see Major T. But Crellan will have his own share of nasty Creatures, not to mention the sick Locations, BattleGear, and Mugic he could have too." Said Peyton, knowing it wasn't just a CodeMaster's Creatures you had to be careful of, but their Locations, BattleGear and Mugic as well.

"Peyton's right, Naruto and Crellan both have pretty unique decks, so they'll both be going all out and see who has the better plans and knowledge." Sarah said while hoping Naruto will be able to pull through.

While not far from them, Krystella's group was also looking forward to the match, but for entirely different reasons.

"I can't wait to see Crellan crush Phantom." Nick said, eager for the chance to see Naruto get taken down hard.

"Even better if after this loss he decides to leave Chaotic for good. One less loser stinking up the place." Added Sanjay, hoping to see Naruto experience another losing streak after he crushed him before, one that could make him leave for good.

"As long as we get to see ghost boy humiliated, I don't care what happens." Tank stated, only caring about seeing Naruto be humiliated in the match.

Sam didn't say anything, not really caring who won or lost, just caring more about seeing the teams they'll use. Knowing it'll be a bunch of rare scans. Especially if Naruto uses more Creatures like Bahrakatan, the UnderWorld player knowing there had to be more like him.

"You'll all get what you want, seeing the Phantom getting his butt handed to him." Krystella said with a smirk, eager to see Naruto be defeated, though another part she ignored was also hoping to see more of his brutal and ruthless side.

*Perim-Kiru City*

While in Perim, the groups Naruto had given the screens to were also gathered together as they saw them starting to activate. With the OverWorld group being together in the meeting room of Maxxor's Castle, including Najarin and Afjak. All of them interested at seeing Naruto battle as Creatures.

"You look excited Maxxor." Intress stated, smirking at her friend/leader, who had his own smirk on his face.

"I am. It's one thing hearing about what Naruto can do, it's another to see it, especially as a Creature." Replied Maxxor, interested to see how Naruto fights firsthand.

"Agreed. I've heard him talk about the previous matches he's had, but it'll certainly be interesting seeing it instead. Even more without his own abilities." Said Intress, having only seen how Naruto fights as himself, now she can see how he fights as a Creature.

"I'm curious for who he'll use on his team and how he'll fight as said Creatures." Said Aivenna, interested to see how Naruto will fight as a Creature as opposed to himself.

"Indeed. Perhaps we shall also get the chance to witness him fight as a M'arrillian to learn more about what they can do." Najarin added, getting nods from everyone since that would be useful information.

"It looks like we won't have to wait any longer, it's beginning." Afjak said while seeing the screen now showing Naruto enter the Crellan Drome.

*UnderWorld City*

While the UnderWorld group was gathered in Chaor's throne room, looking at the screen.

"Finally getting the chance to see what that kid can do. This'll be entertaining, even better if he uses UnderWorlders." Chaor said with a smirk, eager for the chance to see Naruto battle.

"If these CodeMasters are truly the best, then it'd only make sense for the human to use the most powerful Creatures in Perim to achieve victory. Especially you Chaor." Stated Agitos, believing Naruto will use UnderWorlders, especially since it seems Takinom was one he used in many matches.

"Unless he uses me." H'earring said, happy and excited when Naruto told him he used the UnderWorlder in his last match and defeated Heptadd with him, something that gave H'earring a lot of pride.

"What do you think, Nivenna?" Takinom asked while looking at her former student, curious to see what she thinks of seeing Naruto's match.

"It will certainly be interesting to see the human battle, along with how he'll fight as Creatures." Replied Nivenna, interested to see more of Naruto, with Takinom nodding in agreement, especially eager to see if Naruto will battle as her.

*Mipedim Oasis*

While Iflar, Mudeenu, and Siado were in the formers throne room in the Mipedim Oasis, looking at the screen in intrigue.

"What do you think of this Siado, Mudeenu?" Questioned Iflar while looking at Siado and his cousin.

"I can't say for certain, Your Highness, but I have heard that Naruto's supposed to be a powerful Chaotic player. So I'm sure this battle will be interesting to witness." Siado replied, having heard from Peyton about some of Naruto's matches.

"Despite my past dealing with the human, he does seem to have a mind for strategy and rather…unique plans. This may also give us better ideas for when the M'arrillians arrive and the Tribes battle alongside each other." Said Mudeenu, interested in seeing the way Naruto will battle and the strategies it could help them make.

"Agreed. He does seem like the type capable of thinking on his feet, which is an invaluable skill in the heat of battle." Iflar stated, something he had to do as well, as while he may be a fierce fighter and had unrivalled melee skills, he couldn't fight for long and needed to end battles swiftly.

So he's intrigued at seeing how Naruto battled to improve his own skills and thinking.

*Mount Pillar*

At Mount Pillar, Princess Aszil, Odu-Bathax, and Wamma were in the, still being constructed, OverWorld Embassy. With Aszil's mother having commissioned it to be built after the knowledge of the M'arrillians and with the Tribal Alliance. Having begun constructing embassies for the other Tribes as well, knowing it'd be good for them to start working together and start by building alliances.

With the three using the OverWorld Embassy, which is the one that's nearly finished to watch Naruto's match, while Aszil's guards were just outside the office.

"Young Naruto continues to impress me each day, being capable of thinking of a device to show one of these Chaotic battles. It's certainly impressive." Aszil stated while looking over the screen, impressed that Naruto was able to help build such a device.

"It is impressive princess. I'm sure it'll also be interesting to see how he'll battle." Said Wamma, though was secretly hoping that Naruto didn't use him on his team, not wanting Aszil or Odu-Bathax to think he was stronger than he looked and gave him more duties to perform, or worse promote him from being a Mandiblor.

"I'm more interested to see how the kid fights as different Creatures." Said Odu-Bathax, wanting to see how Naruto fights as different Creatures, knowing it'll be different fighting styles compared to the originals, but also help them think of new ways for them to fight as well.

*Crellan Drome*

Back in Chaotic, Naruto entered the Crellan Drome before walking up as a docking pedestal rose up in front of him, soon followed by a hole opening on the floor on the other side. With Crellan himself rising up out of it, with the Uzumaki taking a deep breath and nodded.

"Chaotic Phantom, you have won seven battles here in the Crellan Drome. For this, you have been challenged by CodeMaster Crellan so that he may test your skills, himself." Said the DromeMaster, with Naruto nodding before looking at Crellan.

"Good luck, Chaotic Phantom." Crellan said, though was proud at how far Naruto's come since they first met, from having no knowledge of Chaotic or Perim to now battling against him as a CodeMaster.

But that didn't mean Crellan would be holding anything back and will give it his all to see if Naruto had what it takes to defeat him.

"You too, CodeMaster Crellan." Replied Naruto with a smile.

"Dock your Scanners please." The DromeMaster said, with both doing so as the battle boards appeared before they proceeded to assemble their teams.

'He knows I'm gonna use Ursis, but let's see if he'll be expecting the Drilldozer giving Ursis some extra energy. And for an added surprise, Gal'Drad up front with the Windstrider, as I know he'll definitely have Ariak in the back. This way, he won't be getting the chance to revive any Creatures. Then Intress with the Reefshard since I'm having her with a Chieftain. While in the middle, I'll have Maxxor with a Liquilizer to give him Water Attacks, and Chaor with the VileDriver to give his Fire Attacks an extra kick, plus I'm sure seeing these two together will be a surprise. And finally Siril'ean in the back with a Mugician's Lyre, making sure any Mugic that Crellan uses are rendered useless and open for me to use.' Naruto thought, pleased at the team he created before going onto Mugic.

'And for Mugic, I'll Song of Futuresight to see what attacks he'll use or rearrange the Locations, Chorus of Cothica to let me use any Mugic for any Creature, Song of Revival to bring back a Creature, Unheard Melody to instantly take out any Creature with no Mugicians, Trills of Diminution for any difficult abilities, and Melody of Mirrored Action since he'll have at least one Creature with the Droskin.' Thought Naruto, pleased at the Mugic he'll be using.

'Finally Locations. I'm sure he'll be using a couple scans of Prexxor Chasm and who knows what other Locations, so I'll go with ones I'm familiar with like UnderWorld City, Mount Pillar, Castle Pillar, and Everrain during that eruption Borth-Majar dealt with. Along with a few surprises like Kirvak Mound, Siril'ean's Lair, Mugician's Arch, Castle Rathwaq, and Akarakk Cavern, plus Ravanaugh Ridge during a full moon.' Naruto thought, having gotten the last one after learning from Intress how Arias claims that the giant statues there came alive on a full moon and fought each other.

While he wasn't sure if it's true, having not stuck around long enough to see if they did come alive, Naruto figured if it is then it'll be a big surprise.

"Players, lock your decks." Said the DromeMaster once Naruto and Crellan finished assembling both their teams before the two pressed the buttons on their Scanners, revealing their teams to each other and those watching.

*Port Court*

"Woah, they're really not gonna hold anything back." Tom stated at seeing the teams Naruto and Crellan were using.

"No kidding. Dude's got Maxxor and Chaor together, then Ursis and Intress!" Said Peyton, seeing Naruto had four powerful Creatures on his team.

"Yeah, never thought I'd see those two put together. And I'm guessing those other two are M'arrillians." Kaz said while looking at Gal'Drad and Siril'ean.

"Yeah, they look like the rest of them. But look at Crellan's team, the only Creature I recognize is Ariak, but the rest…who knows what they can do." Said Sarah, seeing all of Crellan's looked pretty vicious and dangerous just from their appearances, but who knows what they can do.

"Definitely. And I don't see Ursis on Crellan's team either." Said Tom, having expected Crellan to use Ursis, given how powerful he was.

"Given that Naruto's main Creature is Ursis, I doubt Crellan would want to risk his own being coded, since Naruto probably uses him a lot more often." Kaz said, with Sarah and Peyton nodding in agreement, knowing it'd be a risky move and get one of his Creatures coded too soon.

"I hope Crellan makes it hurt even worse now!" Nick muttered, scowling at seeing Naruto put Chaor with Maxxor and Intress.

"What, not upset about the other three Creatures Phantom put them with?" Said Sanjay with a smirk, only for Nick to scoff

"I could care less what those other Creatures are, the fact he's putting Maxxor and Intress with that freak Chaor is what I'm angry about." Retorted Nick before looking back at the screen eager to see Naruto be coded.

*Kiru City*

"The leaders of the OverWorld and UnderWorld fighting together on the same team, that's…certainly an interesting strategy." Afjak said with a slight smirk at seeing Kiru's and Vlar's descendants now fighting together.

"Indeed, two of Perim's mightiest warriors fighting side-by-side. Wouldn't you agree Maxxor." Said Najarin while looking at his friend, who looked slightly annoyed at seeing Naruto was having him and Chaor fighting together.

"Yeah, really great. Needing to pick up the slack for Chaor after he's defeated." Maxxor said, but was intrigued to see how Naruto will battle as him.

"And I'll be there picking up the slack when you're defeated. Unless you and Chaor manage to not defeat each other, somehow." Intress added while smirking at her friend, managing to get a laugh out of the OverWorld Leader.

"Unless you're defeated first, Master. And I don't see me up there to help you out." Aivenna stated smirking at her former teacher, though was inwardly annoyed that Naruto wasn't using her on his team.

*UnderWorld*

"Grrr, great, having to see myself working with Maxxor of all people! I'd sooner deal with Van Bloot an entire day than work with Maxxor!" Said Chaor in annoyance that Naruto's making him fight alongside two OverWorlders, mostly Maxxor though.

"Well look at it this way Chaor, the human only requires you to represent the UnderWorld's might, while needing to have Intress to assist Maxxor. After all, you need no help to crush our enemies." Agitos said, managing to lessen Chaor's annoyance.

"Hmph, yeah that's true. Still annoying that I'll need to pick up their slack after they're defeated." Said Chaor, along with being interested at how Naruto fights as him.

"Unless Maxxor defeats them first." H'earring muttered with a smirk, only to yelp when Chaor glared at him.

"Too bad he didn't use me, then you could just sit back with Maxxor and enjoy me crushing those Creatures." Takinom said while smirking at Chaor, who let out a laugh at his friends words.

"HA! You wish! I'd have them turned into trophies before they could even land a hit." Chaor stated, with the female UnderWorlder's smirk growing.

"Then I guess it's a good thing you won't be proven wrong." Replied Takinom, though she was annoyed that Naruto didn't put her on his team, even more so that he's using Intress.

'Should have used me instead, I'm already more powerful than the furball.' Takinom thought in annoyance at her sister being included on Naruto's team, something Nivenna noticed as she looked at her former teacher curiously.

'Just what is the affect this human has on Takinom?' Nivenna wondered, not sure about the affect Naruto had on Takinom, especially since he seems to have a similar effect on her sister and Intress.

The UnderWorld Muge thinking of speaking more with Naruto when she has a chance to learn more about him, and hopefully better understand the affect he has on Takinom, Intress and Aivenna.

*Mipedim Oasis*

"How annoying. Using OverWorlders and an UnderWorlder, yet no Mipedians." Mudeenu said in annoyance that they wouldn't see any Mipedians in the battle to see how humans fight as them.

"I mean no offense My Prince, but with the team he's assembled I don't think any Mipedians would do Naruto any good. Perhaps if he had a different team, you would be among them as opposed to Intress, as you are one of the Tribe's fiercest warriors." Said Siado while looking over the team Naruto's made and saw that any Mipedian put on it would only be a liability.

"Agreed Siado. Look at those he has, placing a M'arrillian and Intress in the front and another in the back. With the information provided, we know Fluidmorphers such as Siril'ean are granted Mugicians for each Water Attack they and their allies use. I believe Naruto is, as the humans would say, farming for Mugicians to use Siril'ean's ability to negate Mugic." Iflar said, seeing how and why Naruto assembled his team the way he did.

"Hmmm, yes, I see it now. And even if we will not see any of our Tribe battle, perhaps we will see how OverWorlders and UnderWorlders work together." Said Mudeenu, now seeing the same thing as Iflar and Siado, with both Mipedians nodding in agreement as it'll be good to see how the Tribes work together to better plan for the M'arrillian Invasion.

*Mount Pillar*

"Ah damnit! I was looking forward to seeing how that kid fights as a Danian." Odu-Bathax said, having wanted to see how Naruto fights as a Danian after their own fight and learning about his abilities.

"I'm sure Naruto is quite good when battling as a Danian, but with the importance of this match, it makes sense he wouldn't use any. Given what we've heard in regard to their game, Danians are at their strongest when they're only Tribe being used, or at least are the majority. Otherwise we can't be utilized at our full potential." Said Aszil, with Wamma nodding in agreement, having heard how Danians worked in Chaotic.

With their reliance on their Hive Ability, you'd need either all Danians or a majority of them, otherwise you'd only be at a disadvantage.

While Odu-Bathax nodded in understand at this, only annoyed he wouldn't get to see how Naruto battles as him, but knew it'd still be an interesting battle to see.

*Crellan Drome*

"Most players that battle me lose because they play too cautiously, but looking at your team, I see you aren't holding anything back. Having some of your most powerful Creatures up front while having Maxxor and Chaor in the middle as further strength and doubling as Mugic Casters. And I see you're using a M'arrillian in the front and the back, making for tricky opponents to defeat. A very unpredictable approach." Crellan said, intrigued at Naruto's team and glad to see he wasn't holding anything back.

"Thanks. And looking at your team, I see you're keeping Ariak safe in the back, while having Cromaxx in the front and from I've heard about him, he's not a Creature to be taken lightly. But the rest of them…I don't know much or anything." Replied Naruto, not recognizing the rest of Crellan's team.

"Then I believe this match will have plenty of surprises for both of us." Stated Crellan, having assembled his own team based on what he believed Naruto's own team would be and ways to counter it.

"Chaotic Phantom, you will be the attacker. Activate the Location Randomizer." Said the DromeMaster, with Naruto nodding as he spun the dial before it soon stopped on Ravanaugh Ridge.

"The first Location, Ravanaugh Ridge. Choose the attacking and targeted Creatures." Said the DromeMaster.

"A perfect Location for Gal'Drad's Windstrider." Naruto said with a smirk while revealing the Windstrider, with Crellan knowing who he's going to target first.

"Gal'Drad attacks Ariak!" Said Naruto selecting Gal'Drad while Crellan chose Ariak, with both of them transforming into their chosen Creatures.

Something that amazed all the Creatures watching, having heard of how Chaotic players transforming into them. But it was completely different seeing the transformation for themselves.

"Ravanaugh Ridge may let you fly your Windstrider, but can you hit what you can't see?" Ariak said, knowing his size will be his advantage in a Location like Ravanaugh Ridge.

"Let's find out. Let's get chaotic!" Said Gal'Drad.

*Ravanaugh Ridge*

Gal'Drad flew his Windstrider around Ravanaugh Ridge, trying to see any sign of movement for where Ariak may be hiding.

'Can't forget the little guy can fly pretty quietly, not to mention being really fast on the ground and the sky. Plus, Crellan will have a lot of experience playing as Ariak. So he'll definitely be good at staying unseen.' Thought Gal'Drad while flying closer to the ground to see if he could get a better look.

"Unsanity!" Ariak shouted, leaping up from a tree and blasting Gal'Drad in the back, with the Chieftain grunting at the attack as he lost control of his Windstrider for a moment.

"Power Pulse!" Said Gal'Drad firing a barrage of green fists at Ariak, only to see the tiny Creature had already vanished.

Shaking his head, Gal'Drad narrowed his eyes when his vision began getting blurry from his lowered wisdom. Along with flying higher up into the sky, hoping to draw Ariak out from the trees and into the sky where he could see him better.

"Delerium!" Said Ariak flying up right in front of Gal'Drad and blasting him again with another attack, this causing Gal'Drad to become dizzy and confused, now unable to see straight.

"Followed by Sludge Gush!" Ariak said spitting out a stream of sludge that impacted Gal'Drad's head, making the M'arrillian cry out as he was blinded.

"Gah! Annoying little-Skeletal Strike!" Gal'Drad said as a skeleton emerged from his body and launched towards Ariak, who quickly flew out of the way.

"Like I said, can't hit what you can't see. And can't fly without that Windstrider! Tones of Tumult!" Said Ariak using one of his Mugic that came down and hit Gal'Drad, who cried out as black smoke-like energy exited his mouth and eyes while his wisdom took a serious hit.

The lowered wisdom causing Gal'Drad to start seeing doubles of everything as the sludge in his eyes only further hindered his ability to see and fly the Windstrider. Causing the M'arrillian to cry out as he crashed his Windstrider into the ground, sending him skidding away, groaning at the hits.

'Okay, this will definitely be harder than I expected.' Thought Gal'Drad as he stood up and wiped the sludge off his face, only to see his vision was still blurry and showing doubles of everything, he could even see Ariak land right in front of him, but couldn't tell which was the real one.

"P-Power Pulse!" Gal'Drad shouted, firing a Power Pulse all around Ariak hoping to hit him, only for the Tribeless creature to dodge the attack.

"Still trying to attack when you can't see straight? Let's see you attack something you can't see at all, Dirge of the Desert!" Ariak said while playing his second Mugic, rendering him invisible and Gal'Drad unable to see him entirely.

*Port Court*

"Ooooh, things aren't looking good dudes. That Tones of Tumult drained Gal'Drad's wisdom and Dirge of the Desert ain't helping matters." Peyton said, wincing at seeing Gal'Drad getting knocked around by Ariak.

"No kidding, and all those other attacks messed up his head even more." Added Kaz, seeing that while Ariak is small, that didn't make him any less dangerous.

"Man, if Crellan's this dangerous with just Ariak, imagine what he can do with his bigger Creatures." Tom stated, as while they were rooting for Naruto to win, Crellan definitely isn't making it easy.

"Don't give up yet, the match has just started. I'm sure Naruto has something he can use." Sarah said while looking at the screen in worry before they heard Nick and Tank laughing at the other table.

"Look at the loser! He's getting knocked around by a shrimpy little rat!" Tank laughed, enjoying seeing Tom's friend getting taken down by a tiny Creature.

"I know! So much for those freaky Creatures if all it takes is a squirrel to beat them!" Said Nick with a smirk, hoping Naruto will burst into code soon.

"You mean like how I took you down as Bodal, Tank?!" Said Tom, wiping the smirk of Tank's face at the reminder of losing to Bodal of all Creatures.

"Or maybe how you got taken down by an UnderWorlder and a Mipedian, Slicky Nicky!" Peyton added, much to Nick's anger at the reminder of his own losses.

"No, it's like how I crushed Phantom like a bug before!" Said Sanjay with a smirk.

"Oh, like how I crushed you with Borth-Majar!" Kaz retorted with his own smirk, making all three seethe in anger before looking back at the screen.

*Ravanaugh Ridge*

Trying to focus his mind, Gal'Drad tried searching for any sign of Ariak before remembering the Windstrider wasn't his only BattleGear.

"Turning invisible won't help you if I have this!" Gal'Drad said summoning his Spectral Viewer, having equipped it knowing it'd help spot Ariak, even if he wasn't invisible, the fact he was only made it more useful.

Putting the Spectral Viewer on and closing his uncovered eye, Gal'Drad was glad to see that while his vision was still messed up, he could see more clearly than before. With him soon spotting Ariak clinging to a tree.

"Found you! Rip Tide!" Shouted Gal'Drad firing a blast of water at Ariak, who jumped out of the way and scurried across the ground close to Gal'Drad's feet.

"Airsault!" Ariak said hitting the Chieftain with a blast of wind, which knocked him back into a tree and getting a grunt out of him.

Getting up, Gal'Drad shook his head again as his vision kept messing up, even with the Spectral Viewer helping somewhat.

"Okay, new plan. Frost Blight!" Gal'Drad said, releasing a massive blast of snow, freezing winds and razor-sharp ice shards all around him, covering the trees, plants and ground in snow and ice, making it so if he can't see Ariak he'll be able to hear where he is.

"Good move, here's another for you! Shriek Shock!" Said Ariak, jumping over Gal'Drad and hitting him with a high-pitched shriek, making the M'arrillian grunt as he fell to his knees from the impact, but could still make the sound of Ariak landing on the ground.

"Torrent of Water!" Yelled Gal'Drad firing jets of water at where Ariak was, pleased when he finally managed to hit him before Ariak managed to slip away again.

"Velocitrap!" Ariak said, shooting a blast of electricity at Gal'Drad.

"Power Pulse! Skeletal Strike!" Gal'Drad said, firing another barrage of green fists at the electricity, along with a skeleton emerging from his body just in case he missed.

Looking around again to try and find where Ariak could be, Gal'Drad grunted in annoyance that he could barely see. Knowing if he wanted to beat Ariak, he'll need to get him out where he can see him.

"Alright, try dodging this! Frost Blight!" Shouted Gal'Drad while firing another blast of snow, freezing winds and razor-sharp ice around him to force Ariak out into the open, the plan working as Ariak flew into the air.

"Spirit Gust!" Ariak said, releasing a blast of spirits and wind, with Gal'Drad immediately looking to where the small Creature was, even as he was hit by the Spirit Gust attack.

"Got you now! Flood Force!" Gal'Drad said while shooting a blast of water at Ariak, succeeding in hitting and capturing him in an orb of water.

"Hail Storm!" Said Gal'Drad, launching a barrage of large pieces of hail at Ariak, with the Tribeless Creature being unable to dodge as the hail impacted him repeatedly until he burst into code.

*Kiru City*

"Yes!" Aivenna cheered, happy to see that Naruto managed to win the battle.

"Clever of him to use Frost Blight to cover the area in snow to reveal where Ariak was hiding, then again to get him to reveal himself." Said Intress while smiling at Naruto's victory.

"Agreed. Though this CodeMaster isn't an easy opponent, even with such a small Creature. The speed and agility he used, combined with the attacks and Mugic, it could take down Creatures even larger than the M'arrillian." Maxxor said, with Najarin and Afjak nodding in agreement.

"Indeed. Using Tones of Tumult and Dirge of the Desert is a devastating combination." Said Najarin.

"As well as using attacks to further lower wisdom and cloud the mind. If Naruto hadn't also used a Spectral Viewer, he likely would have been defeated." Afjak stated, having learned from his time in Ancient Perim that no matter the size, all Creatures can be dangerous and deadly.

"Perhaps, but those Water Attacks he used have ensured Siril'ean in the back now has plenty of Mugicians to use." Said Aivenna, seeing that Siril'ean now had multiple Mugic Counters with the Water Attacks Gal'Drad used.

The others nodding in agreement, knowing that will be useful to cancel any other Mugics Crellan will use, though the same can't be said for any other tricks he has.

*Crellan Drome*

"Now your team is trapped on both sides, while Siril'ean is filled with Mugic Counters." Gal'Drad said as they reappeared in the Drome and he transformed back into Naruto.

"Perhaps, but the same can be said for you, as now Gal'Drad is trapped behind my Creatures and a space is now open for them to move into your territory." Replied Crellan knowing it's a dangerous position for both of them, before he spun the Randomizer with it soon landing on Prexxor Chasm.

"The next Location, Prexxor Chasm. Choose the attacking and targeted Creatures." Said the DomeMaster.

"Loup attacks Maxxor!" Said Crellan, choosing his Creature and started transforming.

With Loup being a bipedal wolf/jackal looking Creature with black eyes and yellow sclera, brownish-red fur covering his body, darker red fur on his chest, a light brown-white mane on the back of his head and neck with his tail being the same color. Along with being covered in brown sore-looking spots, making him look sick or infected with something.

Seeing the Creature, Naruto remembered Ursis mentioning him once, that Loup was one of the fiercest Creatures in Prexxor Chasm, along with having an equally fierce rivalry with Smildon.

"Okay fido, let's see if you can play dead." Said Naruto while selecting Maxxor and turning into him, with Loup snarling at the OverWorlder.

"Let's get chaotic!"

*Prexxor Chasm*

"Almost forgot how dangerous this place can be." Maxxor muttered while moving through Prexxor Chasm, nearly walking off an edge as he did so, knowing he needs to be careful, especially since Loup is a native of the Chasm.

Summoning his Liquilizer, Maxxor narrowed his eyes while making sure to listen for any sounds, not noticing the eyes watching him the bushes until Loup leapt out from his hiding spot.

"Slash Claw!" Loup growled, swiping his claws through the air sending claw shaped energy blasts at Maxxor, with the OverWorlder's eyes widening before he quickly rolled out of the way of the attack.

"Torrent of Water!" Maxxor said firing his Liquilizer at Loup, knocking him out of the air and into a tree, making him grunt at the impact as he hit the ground.

"Lavalanche!" Said Maxxor aiming his free hand at Loup unleashing a wave of lava at him, only Loup to summon his own BattleGear, the Ur-Shard.

"Ur-Shard! Rock Wave!" Loup shouted, slamming his fists into the ground, causing giant rocks to shoot up and block the lava before he ran up the rocks and jumped into the air.

"That didn't work before, Rip Tide!" Maxxor said, smirking as he fired his Liquilizer at Loup again.

"Thunder Shout! Power Pulse!" Yelled Loup, releasing a loud shout that dispersed the water, followed by unleashing a barrage of green fists that crashed into Maxxor, knocking him back.

"Sunder Ground!" Said Loup, smashing into the ground, causing it to begin shaking before a hole opened up beneath Maxxor, which he fell down.

"Vine Snare!" Maxxor shouted shooting vines out his hand, managing to grab hold of the edge of the ravine before he could hit the bottom, only to see Loup walk up to the edge and took a deep breath.

"Megaroar!" Loup roared loudly, unleashing a loud and powerful shockwave right at Maxxor, making the OverWorld leader crying out in pain as the attack hit him dead on, along with feeling his vines start slipping.

*UnderWorld City*

"HAHA! Yes! Crush him just like that!" Chaor said, wanting to see Maxxor be defeated, with the others looking at him.

"Uh Chaor, we are supposed to be rooting for the human, not against him." Stated Agitos.

"I'm aware! But he's using Maxxor and I wanna see him get taken down! I don't care if it's the real Maxxor or not, as long as he's defeated!" Chaor said with a smirk, willing to root for Naruto when he's battling as other Creatures, but as Maxxor, he'll root for whoever defeats him.

"Well it is Naruto fighting as Maxxor, so I don't think he'll be defeated that easily." Takinom stated, knowing Naruto won't be defeated so easily, though wouldn't deny she'd probably be rooting for Crellan if he attacked Intress instead.

*Mount Pillar*

"Yeesh, these Prexxor Chasm Creatures aren't fooling around." Said Wamma, seeing how Loup was using attack after attack.

"I like em! Fighting head-on like that and not stopping until the enemy is crushed! If only all Mandiblors were like that." Odu-Bathax said while looking at Wamma with narrowed eyes, with the Mandiblor squirming slightly under the BattleMasters look.

"Relax Odu-Bathax, the Mandiblors are perfectly fine. After all, while it's good to be capable of fighting non-stop until victory is achieved, it's also wise to still know when it's time to retreat and fight another day." Aszil said, agreeing that the Prexxor Chasm Creatures have a good killer instinct, but such a thing can also get one killed themselves.

Though the Danians took another look at the battle, before spotting the BattleGear that Loup had equipped, causing their eyes to widen as they now recognized it.

"Wait a sec…how did that human get a scan of the Ur-Shard?!" Odu-Bathax demanded, given the fact the Ur-Shard was currently in possession of Queen Illexia and stored away in the royal treasury.

"It…appears he was able to find a way into the treasury somehow." Aszil said warily, as while she knew that Crellan likely didn't have ill intentions towards the Danians and was merely getting a scan, it's still worrying he was able to get that far into Mount Pillar to scan it.

The princess making a mental note to speak to her mother about that, while Odu-Bathax muttered about dealing with any Mandiblors that weren't doing their jobs right.

*Prexxor Chasm*

Maxxor gritted his teeth as Loup continued hitting him with his Megaroar, while feeling his vines were starting to slip from the crumbling ledges.

"Rock Wave!" Maxxor shouted slamming his fist into the wall, causing the ground to begin shaking, knocking Loup off balance and ending his attack.

"Frost Blight!" Said Maxxor firing his Liquilizer at Loup, releasing a blast of snow, icy winds and ice shards at him.

With the attack managing to impact Loup and send him falling over the edge of the ravine as well.

"Vine Snare!" Said Loup shooting out his own vines that wrapped around a ledge and stopped him from hitting the ground.

"Nice of you to drop in! Flame Orb!" Maxxor said before firing several fireballs at Loup, who swung around to avoid them

"Power Pulse!" Loup said firing green fists at Maxxor and at the wall he was attached to, causing it to start to crumble even more, with the OverWorlders eyes widening as the rocks falling towards him.

Knowing he needed to get out of this ravine fast before he was crushed by the rocks or his vines broke before he got an idea of what to do.

"Power Pulse! Torrent of Water!" Said Maxxor firing green fists at the rocks falling towards him and a blast of water below him, being powerful enough to propel him out of the ravine and back onto solid ground, before seeing Loup leap out as well.

"Terrantula Tackle!" Said Loup, slamming right into Maxxor sending him crashing into a tree, getting a grunt from the OverWorld Leader.

"Coil Crush!" Loup said before a thick, thorn covered vines shot out of his lower chest and wrapped around Maxxor and began squeezing him.

"Iron Balls!" Maxxor shouted shooting a barrage of iron balls at Loup that slammed into him, making the Tribeless Creature grunt at the impact.

"Rock Wave!" Shouted Loup, slamming his fists into the ground, causing several large rocks to shoot up out of the ground towards Maxxor before releasing his Coil Crush at the last moment sending Maxxor flying into the air.

"Slash Claw!" Loup said swinging his claws at Maxxor, releasing dozen of claw shaped energy blades at him.

"Lavalanche!" Said Maxxor shooting blasts of lava at the attack and stopping them, before firing his Liquilizer at the lava and super cooling it.

"Fearless Strike!" Maxxor yelled, slamming his fist right through the lava and into Loup's face, sending the Creature crashing into a tree which collapsed on top of him, with Loup groaning at the pain as the tree pinning him down before grunting as he managed to throw it off.

"You might be able to handle Loup, but let's see you handle someone much worse! Song of Transposition!" Said Loup activating his Mugic, using one of his other Creatures Mugicians to trade places with Cromaxx.

"I don't think so! Siril'ean!" Said Maxxor activating Siril'ean's ability, causing Loup's Mugic to suddenly end and stop him from switching places, surprising the Tribeless Creature at seeing he was still here.

"Now take this! Fire Ram!" Maxxor shouted, firing a blast fire in the shape of a rams head at Loup, the attack crashing right into him, causing Loup to burst into code.

*Port Court*

"Alright! That's two Creatures down already!" Tom said, seeing Naruto just had four more Creatures to defeat.

"Yeah, but let's wait and see, since things can easily be turned around. Especially since it seems that from what we saw of the first match, Crellan had planned his team out knowing Naruto would use M'arrillians. Plus, now his Liquilizer is gone and he has the Ur-Shard." Said Kaz, given how close Ariak came to coding Gal'Drad, especially since it seemed like Maxxor lost his Liquilizer with it being replaced with the Ur-Shard, probably thanks to an ability the latter has.

"Yep, that's why hardly anyone beats Crellan, dude has backup plans for his backup plans." Peyton added in agreement.

"And your loser friend will learn it the hard way when he's blown into a million pieces of code!" Said Nick, annoyed and angry at Naruto using Maxxor and actually winning with him.

"Just like you were in your matches against Naruto and Tom!" Sarah retorted, shutting Nick up while Krystella rolled her eyes unseen by her group.

'Can't believe I'm thinking this, but thank you loser. Ugh, just thinking it makes me feel sick.' Thought Krystella, hating that she thanked one of the losers for something, but even she's getting annoyed with Nick's comments.

*Crellan Drome*

"Two Creatures down, four to go. Getting nervous yet?" Naruto asked with a smirk, starting to feel more confident after defeating two of Crellan's creatures.

"Are you? You may have defeated two of my Creatures, but both Maxxor and Gal'Drad took their share of hits in their respective battles, showing that this won't be a cake walk. While Maxxor has lost his BattleGear and gotten Loup's." Replied Crellan, still perfectly calm since he still had some surprises in store for the whiskered blonde, with Naruto frowning slightly at his response before spinning the Randomizer.

"The next Location, Everrain." Said the DromeMaster, with Naruto moving Intress forward to attack one of the two Creatures in the middle.

'That one looks like it could be a problem.' Thought Naruto, looking at the Creature that resembled a bipedal rhino.

"Intress attacks…um, I'm not actually sure about that one's name." Naruto said sheepishly while pointing at the rhino-looking Creature.

"That's Kaeroa, I'm sure he'll be familiar to some players." Crellan said, with Naruto nodding at the name.

"Okay, Intress attacks Kaeroa!" Said Naruto, selecting Intress and turning into her, while Crellan selected Kaeroa and transformed as well.

With Kaeroa resembling a giant bipedal wooly rhino with thick, leathery dark brown-green skin, two large horns protruding from his snout, with the one in back being shorter than the one in the front, dark brown fur covering his forearms and back, and wearing a loincloth and crude leather armor. Though what surprised many players, and a few Creatures, was that Kaeroa resembled the OverWorlder Velreth.

"Kaeroa stems from Velreth's family tree, but a savage branch! Let's get chaotic!" Kaeroa roared.

*Kiru City*

"That Creature looks almost identical to Velreth, only…savage." Maxxor said with a frown at seeing a Creature that looked so similar to an OverWorlder.

"It's not out of the realm of possibility that ancestors of several OverWorlders had ventured out and came across Prexxor Chasm, only to end up trapped there. With their descendants becoming like this." Said Najarin, knowing such a thing was possible, especially given how different Maxxor's and Chaor's own ancestors had been compared to them.

"And now I get to fight him." Intress said with a frown, not sure how she'd do against such a Creature.

"Don't worry Master, Naruto's already beaten two Creatures already. And using you, I'm sure he'll achieve victory again." Aivenna stated confidently.

*Everrain*

'Gotta end this fast, before this entire place is covered in lava.' Intress thought while running through Everrain, knowing with the eruption going on, it won't be long before it goes up in flames.

"Lavalanche!" Kaeroa shouted, charging through the trees before shooting blasts of lava at Intress, slamming into the OverWorlder's back, making Intress growl in pain before getting up and summoning her Reefshard to make her Disciplines stronger.

"Flood Force!" Shouted Intress releasing blasts of water at Kaeroa, only to be shocked when her harmlessly deflected off of him.

"MajorTom should be familiar with this, the Droskin! Leaving your attacks useless against me!" Said Kaeroa, making Intress's eyes widen at seeing he was wearing the Droskin across his chest, not expecting Kaeroa to have it equipped.

'Shit! All my attacks are useless!' Intress thought before jumping out of the way when Kaeroa got down on all fours and charged at her, watching as he crashed right through a tree like it was nothing, before stopping and turning back to her.

"Torrent of Water!" Said Kaeroa, spitting out a blast of water right at Intress, forcing her to jump out of the way again.

"Power Pulse!" Intress shouted, firing several green fists at Kaeroa before she took off running through the forest.

Knowing the only way she'll be able to beat him is to let the eruption finish him off for her, the feline OverWorlder picking up the pace when she heard Kaeroa right behind her.

"Thunder Shout!" Kaeroa said, letting out a loud shout, causing the cavernous forest to start shaking with several stalactites began dropping down around them, making Intress curse as she had avoid being hit by them as well.

"Rock Wave!" Instress said while slamming her fists onto the ground, creating a few rocks to rise up behind her, given Earth Attacks were weakened in Everrain, but was doing so to create more to act as a barricade before she continued running.

*UnderWorld City*

"HAHAHAHAHA! Look at the scared little kitty run away!" Takinom said, laughing and taking enjoyment in watching her rival be left helpless and only able to run.

"What happened to rooting for Naruto?" Questioned Chaor with a smirk.

"I'll cheer when he's a different Creature! I just wanna watch the cat be turned into the mouse!" Said Takinom.

'And that's what you get for using my sister instead of me!' Takinom mentally added, believing she would have been a better choice in the situation than Intress, as she can at least fly.

'Looks like I have the better Master after all, sister.' Thought Nivenna with her own smirk, seeing her sisters teacher left helpless and unable to do anything.

"Hmmm, the BattleGear is rather interesting, being able to protect Creatures from most attacks." Agitos stated, knowing the Droskin would be something useful if Ulmar or Khybon could recreate it, or at least something similar.

*Everrain*

Intress kept running until she reached the spot where the eruption was going off, seeing the lava had already begun covering most of the area.

'Okay, now I just need to lure-' Intress thought, only for her thoughts to be cutoff when Kaeroa smashed through several trees.

"Ektospasm!" Kaeroa shouted, standing up and firing several green energy blasts at Intress.

"Power Pulse!" Yelled Intress shooting multiple green fists at the blasts, before grunting in pain when Kaeroa took the chance to charge and slam into her, knocking her into the air.

"Skeletal Strike!" Said Kaeroa as his skeleton emerged and charge Intress, slamming into the OverWorld and dealing even more damage.

"Lavalanche!" Kaeroa said, firing blasts of lava at Intress, which she managed to barely roll out of the way of.

"Flood Force!" Intress shouted, shooting blasts of water at Kaeroa.

"Megaroar!" Roared Kaeroa releasing a loud and powerful shockwave that dispersed the water, while Intress found herself being pushed back from the roar.

With Kaeroa getting back down on all fours and charged at Intress while continuing his attack, the OverWorld having no time to dodge as the Tribeless Creature crashed right into her. The impact sending Intress flying through the air and right into the erupting lava, before bursting into code.

*Kiru City*

"What was that about Naruto winning with me?" Intress asked with a deadpan expression towards Aivenna, especially since she knew that Takinom won't let her live this down, with the OverWorld Hero laughing sheepishly.

"I've uh…I've been wrong before?" Said Aivenna, getting laughs from the others.

"Don't take it too hard Intress. It looks like that BattleGear made it so all attacks were useless, not leaving many options to attack or retaliate." Maxxor said, with the female OverWorlder nodding in agreement.

"Yeah, it's definitely something that'd prove useful." Said Intress while hoping Naruto will be able to take down Kaeroa and avenge her defeat.

*Crellan Drome*

"How were you able to use all those Elemental Attacks? And make that Lavalanche so powerful in Everrain?" Naruto asked as they reappeared in the Drome, while Kaeroa transformed back into Crellan.

"It's Kaeroa's special ability, by sacrificing a Mugic Counter he can use all elements as if they were his own, even in Locations that'd normally weaken them. While the Droskin makes him immune to every attack you can throw at him." Said Crellan, making Naruto frown knowing that'd be a difficult combination to go against.

'But luckily I have Melody of Mirrored Action to destroy the Droskin.' Thought Naruto, knowing that Mugic still works on the Droskin, while Crellan spun the Randomizer.

"The next Location, Frozen Fire." Said the DromeMaster.

"Kaeroa attacks Gal'Drad!" Crellan said as they both selected their Creatures and transformed into them.

"Let's get chaotic!"

*Frozen Fire*

Gal'Drad ran through Frozen Fire as Kaeroa was charging after him, knowing he couldn't stop and attack thanks to the Droskin.

"Hammer Dash!" Kaeroa shouted, rushing right towards Gal'Drad and slammed his arm into the M'arrillian, making Gal'Drad grunt as he went skidding across the ice.

"Ugh, thanks for that. Now that you're standing still, I can use this! Say goodbye to the Droskin, Melody of Mirrored Action!" Gal'Drad said, activating his Mugic to destroy the BattleGear.

"Not so fast! Logmmmak!" Said Kaeroa, activating the ability of his other middle row Creature, with Gal'Drad being surprised when the Droskin suddenly vanished and replaced by a wooden club, which was soon destroyed by his Melody of Mirrored Action.

Before shaking his head and getting up, knowing that he can finally attack and code Kaeroa now.

"Fluidmight!" Gal'Drad shouted, creating a giant fist of water that he launched towards Kaeroa.

"Power Pulse!" Said Kaeroa, releasing a barrage of green fists towards the water fist, managing to dispel it.

"Force Strike!" Kaeroa shouted, slamming his fist into the ground, with a blast of energy erupting underneath Gal'Drad and launching him into the air.

"Rainspears!" Said Gal'Drad, creating and firing multiple rain spears at Kaeroa, managing to hit him a few times as the M'arrillian landed on the ground.

"And if you liked that, you'll love this! Tainted Thunderstorm!" Gal'Drad said firing a large blast of lightning at Kaeroa, shocking the Tribeless Creature, not seeing how Kaeroa was smirking even as he was attacked.

*Port Court*

"No, no, no, no dude! You're gonna get yourself coded!" Peyton said, pulling at his hair at seeing what Naruto was doing.

"What is it, what do you mean?" Kaz asked in worry, while Tom covered his face, knowing what was going to happen.

"Any Creature that uses or gains Mugic Counters in Frozen Fire takes damage! And each time Naruto uses a Water Attack, Siril'ean gains a Mugic Counter!" Said Tom, making Sarah and Kaz's eyes widened as they looked and saw Siril'ean's energy dropping with each attack Naruto used.

"HAHAHAHAHA! What an idiot, maybe he should save Crellan the trouble and just code the rest of his Creatures for him!" Nick laughed, enjoying the sight of Naruto about to unintentionally code his own Creature.

"I can't believe a loser like that somehow got seven wins to challenge a CodeMaster! What morons make a mistake like that!" Said Tank before laughing as well.

"And there's the loser I was able to beat and send spiraling down! Making dumb mistakes like the newbie he really is!" Sanjay said with a smirk, while the friends glared at them.

"Hey! It's not Naruto's fault, it's impossible for anyone to the effects of every Location, Creature, Mugic or BattleGear! No one could remember or know all that!" Kaz said in defense of his friends.

"Yeah, like how you didn't know Van Bloot could turn invisible in Gothos Tower, or Tiaane's ability to sacrifice himself to take someone down. Or maybe Nivenna and Aivenna's rocking tag team abilities! Like how Major T and Naruto did with you Nicky!" Added Peyton, making Nick scowl at the reminder.

"Or maybe how you didn't know that Bodal knew his way around Kiru City and made the mistake of underestimating him, Tank." Said Tom, with Tank scowling as well.

"Oh yeah why don't-" Nick said as he, Tank, and Sanjay stood up.

"Why don't you three just shut up already!" Krystella said, finally snapping at them.

"Honestly, why don't you put your bruised egos away for five minutes and look at the bigger picture. You got beat by two losers, you got beat by a loser and the lamest Creature ever, and you got beat by a loser separated into two idiots." Said Krystella while pointing at each of three.

"While Phantom is the one battling a CodeMaster right now, after being able to Hercu-Leon, who you were dumb and cowardly enough to send after him." Krystella continued while glaring at Nick at the end.

"So, do us all a favor, zip it and keep it zipped, cause in case you forgot, the match isn't over until one sides nothing but code. And all Phantom needs is the right Location and use the right Creature to turn this into a minor setback." Krystella said, making the three narrow their eyes at her.

"And since when did you start defending him?" Demanded Tanks.

"She's not you idiots. She's just thinking smart, your bruised egos are making ignore the fact the Chaotic Phantom is a highly skilled player, even being able to make a team of practically useless Creatures work together against Hercu-Leon and win. It's also that same kind of thinking that lead the three of you to losing the way you did before against him, MajorTom and KidChaor." Said Sam in annoyance, getting tired of them disturbing his thoughts with their constant need to taunt someone who can't even hear them and probably didn't care either.

Their words making the three scowl, but sat down and didn't say anything else.

With the friend frowning at this before looking back at the screen, becoming worried when they saw Siri'lean vanish as the last of his energy dropped to zero.

*Mipedim Oasis*

"So, Frozen Fire takes the energy of Creatures who gain or lose Mugicians. It sounds like the perfect battlefield to use against the M'arrillian Fluidmorphers." Mudeenu said, with Iflar and Siado nodding in agreement.

"Agreed Mudeenu, it will certainly be a surprise for them when they begin growing weaker. Though I wish this revelation didn't have to come at a price for young Naruto." Iflar said while frowning, given this match was important to Naruto to win.

"Don't worry, Your Highness, I'm sure he'll have a way to turn it around." Siado said, believing that even with the loss of Siril'ean, Naruto will be able to turn the match around.

*Mount Pillar*

"I'll admit, the kids doing pretty good, but he just cost himself a useful Creature, and probably another if he can't beat that rhino." Stated Odu-Bathax with a frown.

"Yes, but perhaps Naruto will also take this as a learning experience, to learn more about such Locations and the effects they have on Creatures there. A chance the M'arrillians sadly won't be getting." Aszil said, knowing this knowledge will be very useful in combating the M'arrillians.

*Frozen Fire*

Gal'Drad looked at Kaeroa, having been blasting him with attack after attack, but the Tribeless Creature still kept getting back up and fighting.

"I'll admit, Kaeroa is an impressive Creature, but now it's time for him to go! Rage of Aa'une!" Gal'Drad said as multiple pillars of water shot out of the ground and moved to hit Kaeroa, who smirked before running out of the way.

"Not just yet! You didn't know the effect this Location had on Creatures and you didn't know it'd be what helps me to defeat you! Deserter's Finale!" Kaeroa said playing his Mugic, with Gal'Drad's eyes widened before the Mugic crashed into him and he burst into code.

*Crellan Drome*

"What…what just happened?!" Naruto said, looking at his board only to see that Siril'ean was gone, along with Gal'Drad.

"It's thanks to the effect of Frozen Fire, any Creature that gains or uses Mugic Counters takes damage. And with Siril'ean as a Fluidmorpher gaining a Mugic Counter for each Water Attack, you were unintentionally weakening him until he was defeated." Crellan said, making Naruto's eyes widen in shock and disbelief, before mentally cursing that he coded his own Creature.

"Well…guess I need to try harder than before." Stated Naruto since he only had Ursis, Maxxor, and Chaor left, against Crellan's Cromaxx, Kaeroa, and the two other Creatures he didn't recognize, before spinning the Randomizer

"The next Location, Mount Pillar." Said the DromeMaster.

"Ursis attacks Kaeroa!" Naruto said, planning to finally defeat Kaeroa as he and Crellan chose their respective Creatures and transformed into them, with the two Prexxor Chasm Creatures growling or snarling at each other.

"Let's get chaotic!"

*Kiru City*

"So, that's Ursis." Intress said having heard Naruto talk about him before during his visits, with Ursis being one of the first Creatures he encountered after arriving in Perim.

"He definitely looks like he'd be a fearsome opponent to face." Said Aivenna while looking at Ursis warily, with Maxxor nodding in agreement.

"Agreed. I'm sure even our strongest warriors would have a hard time defeating him, if they even could at all." Added Maxxor, not even sure if he'd be able to go against Ursis and win, and if he did then the Tribeless Creature likely would make him work for a victory.

"He reminds me of some of the Creatures I've encountered." Afjak muttered with a frown, seeing Ursis was similar to some of the Creatures he had to fight in Ancient Perim, perhaps even more dangerous as he's smarter than just a feral beast.

"Prexxor Chasm is located far from any of the Tribes, isolated from villages and cities, I'm sure those that live within only know of survival and combat. Making them far more dangerous than most." Said Najarin, getting nods from the others before watching the match begin.

*UnderWorld City*

"HAHA! Now this is my kind of battle!" Chaor said with a smirk, eager to see Ursis and Kaeroa fight each other since they both looked to only know how to battle and defeat their enemies.

"These Creatures are certainly unlike any we've seen before. I doubt even that wretch Van Bloot could hope to stand a chance against them." Said Agitos, with Takinom smirking at his words.

"He wouldn't. Naruto told me of how he fought another player who used Van Bloot as Ursis, and he crushed the harpy. Even breaking his wings to keep him grounded." Revealed Takinom, making the other UnderWorlders look at her in surprise, before Chaor laughed at this.

"HAHAHAHAHAHA! I'm liking this kid more and more." Stated Chaor, his respect for Naruto going up if he's able to do that to Van Bloot, whether it's the real one or not.

"He certainly is becoming more interesting." Nivenna muttered, impressed with anyone who can unleash such brutality, even better on Van Bloot of all Creatures, making her eager to see how he is as Ursis personally.

*With Danians*

"That's definitely one Creature I hope never shows up." Wamma muttered, looking at Ursis warily, having heard from Naruto and Sarah how tough and dangerous he was.

"Speak for yourself! That is someone I can get a challenge from!" Said Odu-Bathax, believing he could get a good challenge and fight from Ursis with how powerful he looked.

"Be careful what you wish for Odu-Bathax, I have heard from Naruto that this Ursis is one of the fiercest Creatures he's met. Though I'm curious to see how they battle within Mount Pillar." Aszil said, interested in the Location being Mount Pillar.

*Mount Pillar*

Meanwhile, Kaeroa was running through Mount Pillar while behind him Ursis was driving his Drilldozer, smirking as he began driving faster to run Kaeroa down. Only to see the rhino-like Creature make a sharp turn down a corridor.

"Not getting away that easily!" Ursis said as he turned the Drilldozer to start drilling through the wall to get at Kaeroa, breaking through after a few moments to see Kaeroa standing there.

"Torrent of Flames! Torrent of Water!" Kaeroa shouted shooting out a stream of flames from one hand and a stream of water from the other, the two attacks combining to create a wall of steam in front of Ursis, blinding the other Tribeless Creature.

Narrowing his eyes, Ursis drove at full speed through the steam to hit Kaeroa, only for his eyes to widen at seeing he'd been lead right to a ledge! Ursis having no time to stop the Drilldozer before he drove over the ledge.

"Freeze Flash!" Kaeroa said releasing a wave of freezing air and rocks at the Drilldozer, freezing it and causing it to blow up, only to narrow his eyes when they didn't appear back in the Drome.

"Looking for me? Arbor Smash!" Yelled Ursis from behind Kaeroa, having managed to jump out of the Drilldozer and cling to the walls before scaling up behind Kaeroa, before shooting a large log from his chest which slammed into the wooly rhino-like Creature's back, nearly knocking him over the ledge.

With Kaeroa managing to catch himself before turning and charging at Ursis, who took off running back into Mount Pillar. Going down on all fours, Ursis ran ahead of Kaeroa before soon coming to stop, digging his claws into the ground to spin around face his opponent.

"Rock Wave!" Ursis said, slamming his fists into the ground with several rocks shooting up in front of Kaeroa, who went down on all fours as well.

"Harnessed Rage!" Shouted Kaeroa with a violent energy surrounding and empowering him, smashing through the rocks towards Ursis.

"Power Pulse!" Said Ursis, releasing a barrage of green fists at Kaeroa, who simply charge right through them, making Ursis grit his teeth as he was forced to grab hold of Kaeroa to stop his charge, having no time to get out of the way.

Ursis grunted as Kaeroa pushed him back, before using the other Tribeless Creatures momentum against him. Grabbing him tightly, Ursis gave a roar as he spun around and threw Kaeroa threw a wall, sending him crashing into another chamber.

"Skeletal Strike!" Ursis shouted with a skeleton emerging from and rushing towards Kaeroa, who'd pushed the debris off of him and got up.

"Gladiator's Fire!" Kaeroa yelled slamming his fist into the ground, causing flames to shoot up from the ground towards Ursis, burning the skeleton as they did so.

"Funnel Blast!" Said Kaeroa shooting a funnel of wind at Ursis as well, combining it with his Gladiator's Fire to empower both attacks.

"Muge's Edge!" Said Ursis feeling his power grow before he charged right through the attacks, roaring at Kaeroa as he leapt through them.

"Trampling Tackle!" Kaeroa yelled charging towards Ursis as well, both Creatures colliding against each other, releasing a shockwave from the impact and sent skidding away from each other.

"Landgore!" Shouted Kaeroa, creating four elemental weapons which he launched at Ursis.

"Fearless Strike!" Ursis roared, swinging his fist at the weapons, releasing an energy wave that destroyed then before rushing Kaeroa and slamming his fist into his face, knocking the other Prexxor Chasm Creature back.

Only for Kaeroa to pull Ursis along with him and throw him through a wall, the two now ending up in the grand hall of Mount Pillar, charging after him as he was surrounded by green energy.

"Reckless Reproach!" Roared Kaeroa slamming right into Ursis, who growled and dug his feet into the ground, before managing to grab Kaeroa and throw him against a pillar.

"Tectostrike!" Shouted Ursis slamming his fist into the ground, causing multiple rocks to float in the air before launching them at Kaeroa, who jumped out of the way or broke them with his horns.

The two Creatures glared at each other before roaring as they charged at each other once again.

*Port Court*

"Oh man, this battles getting really intense!" Kaz said while watching Ursis and Kaeroa go at it, feeling like it wasn't even a regular match anymore, it's two Creatures really fighting each other.

"No kidding dude! And I thought Naruto went hard against Klay and Hercu-Leon!" Said Peyton, also shocked by how intense things were getting.

"What else would you expect? Naruto knows how to fight as Ursis just as much as, or even better than, Crellan. If there's one Creature he couldn't hold back against, it's Ursis." Sarah said, given Crellan knew Ursis was Naruto's ace, so he'd need to go all out.

"Yeah, while Kaeroa's already gotten two of Naruto's Creatures coded, three if you count Siril'ean, so he can't afford to hold back against him." Added Tom, knowing Kaeroa is a major threat Naruto needed to defeat.

*Mipedim Oasis*

"This battle…it's truly unlike any I've seen before." Mudeenu said in amazement at the power and ferocity being displayed by Ursis and Kaeroa.

"Indeed cousin. Watching them battle…it's as if this is how Warbeasts battle if they were the size of other Creatures, merely being driven by the instinct to achieve total victory." Said Iflar, also amazed at the battle.

"Then I'm glad these aren't Warbeasts. I doubt much of Perim would survive if they were." Stated Siado, with both princes nodding in agreement.

*Mount Pillar*

"Torrent of Flames!" Kaeroa shouted, shooting blasts of fire at Ursis, who jumped out of the way.

"Earth Pulse!" Said Ursis while slamming back down on the ground, causing ripples to move out from his impact, knocking Kaeroa off balance, with Ursis's eyes glowing at seeing his chance.

"Terrantula Tackle! Reckless Defeat!" Ursis shouted being surrounded by a red and green energy before charging towards Kaeroa, slamming right into the other Tribeless Creature, grabbing him before ramming him right through a pillar.

The impact and combined attacks being strong enough to take out the last of his energy, with Kaeroa bursting into code soon after.

*Crellan Drome*

"Tough battle, you definitely weren't holding back were you." Ursis said as he turned back into Naruto, feeling like he could have been coded any moment.

"Against someone who's perhaps better than me as Ursis, I felt it'd be better to go at you with everything I had." Replied Crellan, knowing that Ursis would be the toughest opponent for any of his Creatures, barring perhaps Cromaxx.

"Which means if I want to defeat Ursis, it seems I'll need my use strongest Creature." Crellan added, making Naruto look at Cromaxx on the board, having heard about him from Ursis and Ariak, and they've both said the same thing.

Never go near Cromaxx unless you wanted to suffer a very painful death.

"Cromaxx. I've heard of him and seen some of your past battles, but I've never actually seen you use him before." Stated Naruto.

"Cromaxx is one of the fiercest Creatures that ever existed. I've never faced a player that's beaten him." Said Crellan before he spun the Randomizer.

"The next Location, Jade Pillar." Said the DromeMaster.

"Cromaxx attacks Ursis!" Crellan said with the two selecting their chosen Creatures.

Ursis growled as Naruto turned into him, only to gasp in shock when he finally got his first look at Cromaxx.

*Kiru City*

"By the Cothica." Najarin muttered in shock as they looked at Cromaxx in disbelief.

"What is he?" Said Afjak, looking at the screen with wide eyes, feeling on edge just from the sight of Cromaxx.

"I…I didn't think…such a Creature could exist." Aivenna said in shock and disbelief.

"Maxxor?" Intress said looking at her friend, only to see his own shocked and disbelieving expression while clenching his armrests tight enough to crack them.

*UnderWorld City*

The UnderWorlders were in a similar state of shock at the sight of Cromaxx, none of them having thought to see such a sight.

"I…I honestly have no idea what to say to that." Said Chaor, simply shocked at seeing such an unbelievable Creature, yet there it was.

"I don't think any of us did." Takinom stated, not even able to laugh at imagining the reactions of her sister and her allies.

While H'earring's eyes rolled into the back of his head before falling backwards.

*Mipedim Oasis*

"By the sands." Siado muttered as the Mipedians looked at Cromaxx, having trouble believing the sight of him.

"I believe you were lucky Mudeenu, that it was Maxxor you had to deal with before." Said Iflar to his cousin, with Mudeenu only able to nod numbly, doubting even his army could have survived a battle with Cromaxx.

*Mount Pillar*

"How…How could something like…like that be…" Wamma said unable to even find the right words.

"I think it's better if such a thing remained a mystery." Said Aszil, unable to shake the nervousness and fear the sight of Cromaxx brought onto her.

"Agreed." Muttered Odu-Bathax, looking at the screen with wide eyes, knowing even with his enjoyment of a good fight, he'd be torn into pieces against Cromaxx.

*Port Court*

With many Chaotic players also being shocked at the sight of Cromaxx, with the friends looking at the screen with wide eyes.

"It's…it's a nasty…" Kaz said in disbelief.

"Freaky…" Stated Sarah.

"Evil twin version of…" Peyton continued, none of them able to comprehend the sight.

"Maxxor?!" Said Tom in shock and disbelief.

*Crellan Drome*

Everyone being shocked at Cromaxx's strong, physical resemblance to Maxxor himself but with a much broader build and a darker green skin tone in comparison. He possesses sharp fangs, wild red eyes and digitigrade feet, giving him a more feral appearance, as his hair is much more unkempt. With Cromaxx wearing nothing but a brown loincloth, fitting for his savage nature.

"Like with Kaeroa and Velreth, Cromaxx stems from a savage branch of Maxxor's family tree! Let's get chaotic!" Cromaxx snarled.

*Jade Pillar*

Ursis jumped through the scaffolding of Jade Pillar, looking around for any sign of Cromaxx, knowing it'd be best to lay low for a little while until he can find his opponent.

'Definitely don't want Cromaxx to spot me first, who knows what he's capable of.' Thought Ursis before jumping down to a lower level.

"Skel-Evolve Strike!"

Hearing the sudden shout, Ursis's eyes widened before he saw Cromaxx on an upper platform, with a large demonic skeleton emerging from him. The sight making Ursis quickly jump away to avoid it getting hit, managing to cling to a land of a jade outcropping.

"Muge's Edge!" Ursis shouted feeling empowered as he launched himself towards Cromaxx, only to be shocked when Cromaxx raised his arm and stopped caught his fist like it was nothing.

"Power Pulse!" Cromaxx yelled, slamming his fist right into Ursis's gut while launching the attack at point-blank range, sending him crashing through a scaffolding.

Pushing the debris off himself, Ursis looked at Cromaxx, before noticing the jewel-adorned belt across his chest.

"The Droskin?!" Ursis said in shock that Cromaxx now had the Droskin.

"That's right! You didn't forget, Logmmmak switched the Droskin with Cromaxx's Club before you could destroy it! Now let's see you handle a true unstoppable force! Rock Wave!" Roared Cromaxx, jumping down and slamming his fists onto the ground, creating a wave of jade stones to crashing towards Ursis, with the Tribeless Creature barely having enough time to get out of the way to dodge the attack.

"Good thing I made sure to have other ways to destroy it, besides Mugic! Rot Cloud!" Said Ursis, releasing a blast of rot towards Cromaxx to destroy the Droskin.

"If you can get close enough to destroy it! Torrent of Water!" Cromaxx said while shooting out jets of water dispelling the Rot Cloud, much to Ursis's shock again.

"Rustoxic!" Said Cromaxx releasing a stream of rust that impact Ursis despite his attempt to dodge, with Ursis feeling his body start to be covered in rust.

'Damn it! With the Droskin all my attacks are useless, I can't even destroy it if Cromaxx will be able to stop my attacks and I don't have any Mugic that can destroy it! Only one choice left to avoid being coded by him!' Thought Ursis as he burst into code before Cromaxx could attack him.

*Kiru City*

"Are you alright Maxxor?" Intress asked, looking at the OverWorld Leader in worry and concern, along with the others, knowing it must be a shock at learning Cromaxx came from his family tree.

"Yes, I'm fine Intress. It's just…certainly a surprise to see a Creature that comes from my family and looks so much like me, yet is nothing like an OverWorlder." Replied Maxxor with a frown, still surprised that he and Cromaxx are related.

Along with wondering if he could have turned out that way, or at least become similar, if he'd stuck with his "might makes right" attitude and believing everything could be solved with violence. It only made Maxxor more grateful that he had his friends and allies to help him grow and mature into a better person and leader.

'You'd be surprised then.' Najarin and Afjak thought, both of them remembering Vlar and his selfish personality, only caring about himself before becoming the OverWorld Hero who lead the Tribe after Kiru went to the UnderWorld.

"Yeah, it is." Aivenna muttered, remembering her initial meeting with her sister and learning she was an UnderWorlder.

*UnderWorld City*

"Well…that was certainly a revelation." Agitos stated, with H'earring having regained consciousness during the match, all of them still shocked at Cromaxx's appearance.

"That's putting it mildly." Said Nivenna with a deadpan expression, given they just saw a savage and twisted version of Maxxor that could likely tear through all of them.

"Indeed. But it's interesting as well, could that have been what Maxxor would have become if he was an UnderWorlder." Said Takinom, unable to help herself from think of the idea, if Cromaxx is what Maxxor would be if he'd been an UnderWorlder rather than an OverWorlder.

"Hmph, if Maxxor had been an UnderWorlder then I still would have been stronger, so nothing would change except his appearance. Now enough talking, looks like the real fights gonna start." Chaor said with a smirk at seeing Naruto now move him across the board, eager to see how Naruto battles as him.

*Crellan Drome*

"Sacrificing Ursis to move any Creature you want to any position on the board, a bold move as you now only have two Creatures left." Said Crellan as he transformed back.

"Maybe, but sometimes you have to take risks to get an advantage." Naruto replied before moving Chaor into position to attack Logmmmak, but knew even if he defeated them the damage they did outside of battle was devastating before he spun the Randomizer with it soon landing on UnderWorld City.

"Chaor attacks Logmmmak!" Said Naruto as he and Crellan selected their Creatures and began transforming into them.

With Logmmmak resembling a female giant and bipedal, humanoid sloth with a surprisingly gentle face, while wearing leather straps on her arms and legs, a loincloth and wrappings around her chest. Her appearance slightly reminding Naruto of Intress.

"Let's get chaotic!"

*UnderWorld City*

Logmmmak dived behind a building to avoid a blast of fire from Chaor's VileDriver before she climbed up to the roof.

"Vine Snare!" Logmmmak said shooting vines to wrap around the VileDriver's legs.

"You think a few vines will stop me?!" Demanded Chaor before aiming the flamethrowers at the vines to burn.

"No, but this will! Delerium!" Said Logmmmak before blasting Chaor with the attack, making him grunt as his mind began getting clouded.

"Followed by this! Rock Wave!" Logmmmak shouted jumping off the roof and slamming her hands on the ground, unleashing a wave of rocks towards the VileDriver, making Chaor's eyes widen before he quickly jumped out of the VileDriver to avoid getting crushed by it and the rocks.

"Who needs BattleGear when you have firepower! Torrent of Flame!" Chaor shouted while unleashing blasts of fire at Logmmmak.

"Sludge Gush!" Yelled Logmmmak spitting out a stream of sludge that blocked the flames, giving her enough time to jump out of the way.

"Unsanity!" Said Logmmmak while blasting Chaor again, with the attacking further clouding his mind.

"Grrr, let's see you dodge this! Sudden Flare!" Shouted Chaor releasing a large amount of fire all around him, leaving Logmmmak unable to dodge or avoid them, with the Tribeless Creature grunting as she was burned by the fire.

"Now take this! Power Pulse!" Chaor said, firing several green fists towards Logmmmak, who managed most of them before being hit by the last few.

"Gravity Slam!" Logmmmak said, placing her hands on the ground before Chaor grunted when he felt the gravity around him suddenly increase, causing him to slam into the ground.

"Evaporize!" Said Logmmmak, sighing in relief as she felt some of her energy return, only to see Chaor grunting as he stood up through the increased gravity.

"Flame Orb!" Shouted Chaor firing several fireballs at Logmmmak, who quickly jumped out of the way to dodge them.

"Quick Exit!" Logmmmak said releasing a shockwave from her body, being powerful to throw Chaor through the air and send him crashing through a building.

Grunting in annoyance, Chaor pushed the debris off himself only to see Logmmmak took the chance to escape and hide, much to his growing annoyance. Before the UnderWorlder gained an idea, smirking as he figured out how to draw her out and defeat her. Exiting the destroyed building, Chaor went the middle of the road and took a deep breath.

"Megaroar!" Chaor roared releasing a loud and powerful shockwave, before he began focusing it on a single building, causing it to start vibrating and shaking before it came collapsing down.

Continuing his attack, Chaor aimed at all the surrounding buildings to force Logmmmak out of whichever one she was hiding in. Soon succeeding as Logmmmak jumped out of the last building just before it could collapse on top of her.

"Torrent of Flames!" Said Chaor, shooting a stream of fire at Logmmmak, blocking her path firing off another stream when she tried going the opposite way.

"Fire Ram!" Chaor shouted, launching a large amount of flames at Logmmmak that were shaped like a rams head, the Tribeless Creature having no time to dodge for the attack hit her, reducing Logmmmak to code.

*Port Court*

"Alright! Now it's all tied up!" Tom said, smiling at seeing that Naruto just needed two more wins and he'll have beaten Crellan.

"Yeah! And he's got some pretty good moves as Chaor, being able to focus that Megaroar like that then using Torrent of Flames trap Logmmmak!" Said Kaz, seeing that Naruto's pretty good with using Chaor along with Maxxor.

"Don't go celebrating just yet dudes, he's still got that nasty Cromaxx to get through." Peyton said, with Sarah nodding in agreement.

"Which is hard enough without him having the Droskin, with that on Naruto's gonna have to do some serious planning to win." Sarah added, knowing that while it may look like Naruto's close to winning, he still has a lot to do before he can get there.

"Cromaxx is gonna crush your loser friend!" Said Nick, getting annoyed and angry that Naruto's still somehow in the match and hasn't lost already.

"Yeah, and he's already lost that freak Ursis! He's just wasting time if he thinks he has a chance to beat a CodeMaster!" Sanjay added, eager to see Naruto be defeated.

"Yet he's still facing a CodeMaster, remind me again when any of you faced a CodeMaster? Let alone managed to code four of their Creatures, or even one." Kaz said smirking at them, making Nick and Sanjay seethe silently.

*Crellan Drome*

"And now we're all tied up." Naruto said, glad to get rid of Logmmmak so she couldn't switch around any BattleGear.

"But for how long remains to be seen." Said Crellan before spinning the Randomizer, with it soon landing on Prexxor Chasm.

"Jackal attacks Maxxor!" Crellan said as they chose their selected Creatures and transformed into them.

With Jackal being like Loup, resembling a dog/wolf-like Creature with dark yellow fur, as well as brown fur on the tip of his tail, blue fur on his knees and the top of his head, long claws on his hands and feet, equally long fangs emerging from his mouth, and wearing ragged grey shorts with a metal belt with a pale blue crystal, leather wrappings around his abdomen, and leather straps around his biceps and shoulders.

"Let's get chaotic!"

*Prexxor Chasm*

Jackal jumped down from a tree before quickly running into some bushes, peeking out to look for any sign of Maxxor, but didn't see him anywhere. Standing up from the bushes, Jackal sniffed the air to see if he could catch his scent.

"Rock Wave!"

The Tribeless Creature didn't have time to dodge before a massive wave of rocks came crashing down on top of him, Jackal grunting as he pulled himself out from the rocks. Looking, he saw Maxxor jumping down from a ledge with his Ur-Shard equipped and an uncharacteristically fierce and ferocious smirk on his face.

"Thanks for the new Gear, it really helps power up my Earth Attacks. Like this, Pebblestorm!" Shouted Maxxor aiming the Ur-Shard and unleashing a large blast of pebbles at Jackal, who rolled out of the way to avoid getting hit.

"You aren't the only one with BattleGear!" Said Jackal as he summoned his own BattleGear, the Gauntlets of Might to boost his attacks.

"Power Pulse!" Jackal said, unleashing dozens of green fists at Maxxor.

"Anything you can do; I can return even more powerful! Power Pulse!" Maxxor said unleashing his own green fists that crashed into Jackal's with them exploding upon impact, before charging and leaping into the air.

"Thunder Shout!" Yelled Maxxor, unleashing a loud shout at Jackal.

"Megaroar!" Jackal roared unleashing his own sonic wave at Maxxor's, before quickly turning to face the OverWorlder once he landed behind him.

"Flash Kick!" Said Jackal kicking his legs out, releasing several curbed energy blasts at Maxxor that slammed into his back, getting a grunt from Maxxor.

"Delerium!" Maxxor said, turning around and blasting Jackal while still being hit by the Flash Kicks, managing to hit and daze the Tribeless Creature.

"Now for Unsanity!" Said Maxxor blasting Jackal again and further dazing him, with Jackal seeing doubles of everything around him.

"And if that doesn't clear your mind, maybe this will! Ash Torrent!" Maxxor shouted, blasting Jackal with torrents of ash, dealing more damage and blinding him from the ash cloud.

"Xenocentric Wrath!" Jackal yelled as he began firing barrages of plasma arrows all around him since he couldn't see, with Maxxor jumping and dodge out of the way before grunting when some of the managed to hit him.

"There you are, Flashwarp!" Said Jackal firing a blast at Maxxor, who managed to recover and got up.

"Earth Pulse!" Maxxor said, slamming his fist into the ground, releasing a ripple that managed to knock Jackal off balance along with his attack missing.

"Lavalanche!" Said Maxxor, firing a blast of lava at Jackal as he was off balance, the attack managing to make contact and burn Jackal.

"Iron Ball!" Maxxor said, then releasing a barrage of iron balls that slammed into Jackal and pushed him further back.

*Mount Pillar*

"Kid seems to be fighting a lot more ruthlessly than before." Odu-Bathax stated, seeing how relentless Naruto was being in his assault.

"It's due to the Ur-Shard. While it does increase the users Earth Attacks, it also makes them more reckless and ruthless as well. Something that while useful in certain situations, can prove to be more of a hindrance. Which is why mother prefers keeping it locked inside the treasury." Said Aszil, knowing while a useful BattleGear, the Ur-Shard can prove to be a hindrance just as much to the user as it is for their enemy.

"Well hopefully it won't make him too reckless to end up losing." Said Wamma, with Aszil and Odu-Bathax nodding in agreement.

*Prexxor Chasm*

"Velocitrap!" Jackal shouted after managing to get away from Maxxor's barrage of attacks and fired a blast of electricity at him, with the OverWorlder moving to the side and dodging the attack.

"Powercut!" Said Jackal, swiping his claws unleashing crescent shaped energy blades at Maxxor, succeeding in impacting the OverWorld Leader and sending him flying over a nearby ledge.

"Vine Snare!" Said Maxxor, shooting vines out of his hand that wrapped around a tree, using his momentum to run along the cliffside and jump back up into the air.

"Rock Wave!" Maxxor shouted while smashing his fists into the ground, releasing a large wave of rocks towards Jackal, who quickly ran out of the way to avoid being crushed, only for Maxxor to smirk at seeing this.

"Skeletal Strike!" Maxxor said, rushing Jackal and hitting him with a skeleton that emerged from his body, slamming into the Tribeless Creature hard enough to reduce him to code.

*Crellan Drome*

"You've done well to have made it this far Chaotic Phantom. But now are you ready to face your biggest challenge yet?" Crellan asked, knowing it'll be nearly impossible for him to defeat Cromaxx with the Droskin equipped to him.

"Only one way to find out." Said Naruto as he spun the Randomizer, watching as it soon landed on Akarakk Cavern.

"Maxxor attacks Cromaxx!" Naruto said as they both selected their Creatures and transformed into them.

*Mipedim Oasis*

"Do you think Naruto will be winning, My Princes?" Siado asked while looking at both Iflar and Mudeenu, wondering what they thought of Naruto's chances of winning.

"Hmmm, it depends on if he's able to find a way to get rid of the Droskin, as that is his main obstacle to achieve victory." Replied Iflar knowing without the Droskin, Naruto's chances of winning did go up.

"Indeed. But even if he succeeds in doing that, Cromaxx is still a formidable Creature, he will need something to ensure he can defeat him." Mudeenu added, with Iflar nodding in agreement.

Knowing that even without the Droskin, Cromaxx will still be a tough opponent to beat and will require either careful planning or an ace he's waiting to use.

*Akarakk Cavern*

Cromaxx moved through Akarakk Cavern, smashing any crystals in his way, stumbling slightly due to the reduced gravity, not used to fighting in Locations like this. Before he stopped and sniffed the air, roaring as he caught Maxxor's scent from above.

"Vine Snare!" Cromaxx said, shooting vines out of his hands that wrapped around one of the crystals on a higher level, lifting him up before releasing them, letting himself fly straight up to the ceiling.

Turning so his feet touched the ceiling, Cromaxx spotted Maxxor hiding behind a crystal outcropping, the Tribeless Creature immediately kicking off the ceiling towards him.

"Sludge Gush!" Cromaxx shouted spitting a torrent of sludge at Maxxor, which also got the OverWorlder's attention, his eyes widening at the sight before he quickly kicked off the ground launching himself away from Cromaxx.

"Rot Cloud!" Maxxor shouted, shooting a stream of rot at Cromaxx to try and destroy the Droskin again.

"That didn't work before and it won't work now! Freeze Flash!" Said Cromaxx, releasing a blast of freezing air and rocks that froze the Rot Cloud, only for Maxxor to have kicked off the wall towards Cromaxx, smashing through his frozen attack and grabbing hold of savage relative.

"I know, I was counting on it! Magma Might!" Said Maxxor before slamming his lava covered fist into Cromaxx's chest knocking him across the cavern, with Cromaxx grunting at the attack before watching as the Droskin melted and crumbled away.

"Rot Cloud wasn't the only attack I found that could destroy BattleGear! Now without that annoying belt, I can do this! Inferno Claws!" Maxxor said while making a claw shape with his hand and thrusting it forward, shooting fiery claws at Cromaxx.

"There's an attack for every defense, and a defense for every attack! Ice Disks!" Said Cromaxx, launching several ice disks at the fire claws, before launching himself at Maxxor and grabbing hold of him.

"Paral-Eyes!" Said Maxxor blasting Cromaxx and paralyzing him, but could see he's already starting to fight through the paralysis.

"Iron Balls!" Maxxor said hitting Cromaxx with a barrage of iron balls to throw him off of him, with Cromaxx grunting as he hit the ground and broke free from the paralysis.

"Aqua Recoil!" Cromaxx said, restoring some of his energy and gaining more courage.

"Rock Wave!" Said Maxxor, launching himself towards the ground and slamming his fists down, unleashing a wave of crystals towards Cromaxx.

"Megaroar!" Cromaxx shouted unleashing a powerful roar that destroyed the crystal wave, with Maxxor grunting and covering his ears.

"Tainted Thunderstorm!" Said Cromaxx, unleashing a blast of lightning that smashed right into Maxxor, sending him crashing into a wall.

"L-Lavalanche!" Maxxor yelled shooting waves of lava at Cromaxx.

"Mirthquake!" Roared Cromaxx, letting a loud laughter filled shockwave that dispersed the lava, at the cost of his Earth Element, before charging Maxxor on all fours, making the OverWorlder's eyes widen before he quickly got up and jumped away.

"Inferno Claws!" Said Maxxor, shooting more fiery claws at Cromaxx.

"Skel-Evolve Strike!" Cromaxx shouted, unleashing a large demonic skeleton that rushed right through the flames and slammed right into Maxxor, causing the OverWorlder to burst into code.

*UnderWorlder City*

"And it looks like it is up to you to bring the human victory Chaor, as to be expected." Agitos stated, only to see Chaor sporting a frown on his face.

"No, he still has some tricks left." Said Chaor, knowing Naruto still had some tricks left to pull, along with his own doubts on if he'd even be able to beat Cromaxx himself.

"He's right, even with him managing to destroy the Droskin with that Magma Might attack, this isn't over, not yet anyway." Nivenna said, seeing that Naruto still had some tricks up his sleeves and a probably a way to defeat Cromaxx, he just needed to get the right Creature and Location.

"I bet he's got a Mugic to use against Cromaxx." Said H'earring, thinking Naruto had a special Mugic to use when the time is right.

Takinom nodded in agreement with her former student and H'earring, fully believing Naruto still had some tricks to use and it may be a Mugic he's saving for the right moment.

*Crellan Drome*

"It seems like we're now both down to our last Creatures." Crellan stated, only to see Naruto's smirk, knowing that meant he's planning something.

"Looks like it. Time to find out who will win this match." Replied Naruto, with Crellan nodded in agreement but felt this wouldn't be the last match before spinning the Randomizer, which soon landed on Elmantiir.

"Cromaxx attacks Chaor!" Crellan said as they both selected their final Creatures and transformed into them.

*Elmantiir*

"Ember Swarm!" Chaor shouted while shooting a blast of embers at Cromaxx.

"Neuro Freeze!" Said Cromaxx, unleashing a blast of icy energy that froze the embers in midair, with Chaor smashing right through the block of ice and grabbed hold of Cromaxx.

Lifting up the Tribeless Creature, Chaor charge through several trees, smashing Cromaxx through each one, making him grunt at each impact. Until Cromaxx managed to regain his footing, coming to a skidding halt and smashed his fists down on Chaor's back.

"Rustoxic!" Cromaxx said, hitting Chaor with a blast of rust, causing the UnderWorlders entire body to be covered by it.

Breaking free of the frozen Chaor, Cromaxx grabbed him and threw Chaor high up into the air.

"Vine Snare!" Said Cromaxx, shooting vines out of his hands to wrap around Chaor as he began spinning him around before with a roar, Cromaxx slammed Chaor down onto the ground.

With Chaor grunting in pain as the impact, which also broke the rust around him, allowing him to move again. Though he didn't have time to regain his bearings as Cromaxx came charging at him again.

"Skeletal Strike!" Chaor shouted as a skeleton emerged from his body and charged towards Cromaxx.

"Skel-Evolve Strike!" Cromaxx said, firing his own larger demonic skeleton, with both skeletons colliding against each other with Cromaxx's managing to overpower Chaor's.

"Enlightened Tenacity! Fearless Strike!" Said Chaor launching himself at Cromaxx's skeleton, slamming his fist right through it as he continued towards the savage Creature, who launched towards him as well.

"Power Pulse!" Said Cromaxx, firing green fists at Chaor who grunted as they slammed into him, but he kept running until she slammed his fist into Cromaxx's face sending him crashing into a tree.

"Power Pulse! Torrent of Flames!" Chaor yelled, firing green fists at Cromaxx immediately afterwards before unleashing blasts fire, combining the two attacks together to have fiery fists flying towards Cromaxx.

"Caustic Cascade!" Cromaxx said, unleashing a blast of water at the fists, extinguishing the flames, but grunted when a few of the Power Pulses managed to still pass through and hit him.

"Freeze Flash!" Yelled Cromaxx, switching to a blast of freezing air and rocks launched at Chaor.

"Flame Orb!" Said Chaor shooting fireballs at the freezing air, only to be thrown back when the attack managed to overpower his flames and slam right into him.

"E-Emberwhip!" Chaor said after managing to get up, creating a flaming whip which he launched at Cromaxx, managing to wrap it around his arm before pulling him in close.

"Force Strike!" Said Chaor, slamming his fist into Cromaxx's face once he was close enough, sending him crashing through several trees.

Seeing this, Chaor took a moment to catch his breath, feeling like he could get coded any moment now with how relentless Cromaxx was. Not helped that he got energy back from the Location thanks to having the Earth and Water Elements.

'Hopefully I'll be able to code him though, otherwise I'll have to try Plan B. And if that doesn't work, Plan C.' Thought Chaor, knowing he only had three chances to try and code Cromaxx, before he grunted when a tree was thrown at him and pinned the UnderWorlder down, shocked to see Cromaxx getting back up and punching his fist into his palm, not believing he's still standing after all those attacks.

Grunting, Chaor managed to throw the tree off of himself and stand up to face Cromaxx, seeing his regular attacks weren't doing much.

"Okay, no choice then…Incinerase!" Chaor shouted as he glowed a bright red, before unleashing a gigantic tsunami of flames at Cromaxx that burnt everything they touched to ash.

"Liquescent Swirl!" Roared Cromaxx releasing a gigantic cyclone of water that matched Chaor's Incinerase in both size and power, the two attacks clashing against each other.

With them soon ending in the attacks cancelling each other out, creating a massive cloud of steam that covered the entire Location. While Chaor fell to his knees in exhaustion and feeling the loss of his Fire Element, before looking to see Cromaxx still standing tall.

"Gutsy move using Incinerase to try and finish me. But now you're all out of fire, while I still have my Earth Attacks." Cromaxx said, making Chaor sigh but still smirked.

"Maybe I'm out of fire, but I'm not out of tricks. Song of Revival!" Said Chaor, making Cromaxx's eyes widen.

"Skel-Evolve Strike!" Shouted Cromaxx, unleashing a skeleton to try and code Chaor before he could revive a Creature, only to be too late as the Mugic played just before Chaor was coded.

*Crellan Drome*

Naruto and Cromaxx reappeared with Cromaxx turning back into Crellan, watching as Ursis reappeared on the battle board.

"If you failed to code Cromaxx with Incinerase, you had Song of Revival ready to revive Ursis should he have already been defeated. A good strategy and thinking ahead rather than use the Mugic to revive Ursis when you battled Logmmmak." Said Crellan, impressed at Naruto managing to still have a few tricks up his sleeves.

"That's right. But now it's time for this battle to really end. No BattleGear, no other Creatures, just Ursis against Cromaxx." Naruto stated with a smirk.

"Then I guess it's time to see which Creature truly reigns supreme in Prexxor Chasm." Crellan said, with the Uzumaki nodding in agreement as he spun the Randomizer.

"The final Location, Castle Pillar." Said the DromeMaster as the Randomizer settled on the final Location.

"Ursis attacks Cromaxx!" Said Naruto, selecting Ursis while Crellan selected Cromaxx.

The two transforming into both Prexxor Chasm Creatures, with Ursis growling and flexing his claws, while Cromaxx punched his fist into his palm with a fierce glare on his face.

"Let's get chaotic!"

*Port Court*

"Ooooh man! This is getting so intense!" Peyton said while grabbing it his hair at how close this match was getting, and now seeing it's between Naruto's and Crellan's respective Ace Creatures.

"I know, I honestly don't even know who could win at this point!" Said Sarah while biting her nails nervously, knowing at this point either of them could come out the winner.

"Wait, what's Naruto doing?" Tom said upon seeing that Ursis wasn't trying to find or even fight Cromaxx, instead he's moving through Castle Pillar.

"The Mugician! There's a Mugician at the top of the pillar that gives help to the wisest Creature, and Ursis has higher wisdom than Cromaxx!" Said Kaz, realizing what Naruto's doing.

"That must mean he's got a plan to win this!" Said Tom, but knew he'd need to get there first and avoid getting coded by Cromaxx.

While Nick, Tank and Sanjay gritted their teeth in anger, having hope Naruto would lose last round, but still managed to survive with Song of Revival. The three could only hope that Cromaxx finds and crushes Naruto before he can reach the Mugician.

*Castle Pillar*

Ursis ran through Castle Pillar, making his way to the top to reach the Mugician, knowing he needed it if he had any hope of beating Cromaxx.

'That is if the Location doesn't code me first.' Thought Ursis while dodging a piston that nearly crushed him before leaping up to another floor, only to quickly jump back when Cromaxx burst out of the ground.

"Rock Wave!" Cromaxx shouted, slamming his fists down on the ground and unleashing a waves of rock at Ursis, with the Tribeless Creature flipping over the rock wave.

"Rustoxic!" Said Ursis, blasting Cromaxx with a spray of rust that froze him in place before running past his frozen opponent to continue his way up the tower.

Reaching a chamber, Ursis looked around before suddenly iron doors slammed down on the exits including the one he just came through. Looking up, Ursis's eyes widened when he saw a spiked ceiling was descending down towards him.

'Puzzle! Puzzle there's gotta be a puzzle here!' Ursis thought, looking for where any puzzle could be, before spotting a puzzle with sliding pieces on the wall.

Rushing over to it, Ursis looked it over before he began moving them around, glancing up at the ceiling occasionally to see how much time he had left before being crushed. Narrowing his eyes at the puzzle, Ursis moved a few more pieces until finally it depicted the UnderWorld Tribe's symbol. This causing the ceiling to stop descending while the doors opened up, only for Cromaxx to be on the other side of one.

"Power Pulse!" Said Cromaxx throwing his fists forward releasing a barrage of green fists at Ursis, who quickly dived out of the way of the attack.

"Vine Snare!" Said Ursis shooting vines at Cromaxx that wrapped around him, yanking the savage Creature into the room and clotheslining him.

"Paral-Eyes!" Ursis said blasting and paralyzing Cromaxx before running out of the room, with the doors slamming shut once he was out leaving Cromaxx trapped.

'That should keep him busy for a few minutes.' Thought Ursis as he continued making his way up the pillar, solving any puzzles he came across, along with using Sludge Gush on all the stairs and corridors to make it difficult for Cromaxx to get around.

Finally, Ursis arrived at the top of the pillar in a room with five colored orbs, being blue, red, brown, yellow and purple.

"Okay the Mugician has to be in here and I just have only one puzzle left." Ursis muttered while looking at the orbs, wondering what they could mean.

'Wait, those are the Tribe colors. Blue for OverWorlders, red UnderWorlders, yellow for Mipedians, and brown for Danians.' Ursis thought before looking at the purple orb.

"And purple?" Said Ursis before he heard Cromaxx roaring and the ground shaking from his approach, the Tribeless Creature looking back at the orbs until he realized what the answer was.

"Purple!" Ursis said while immediately jumping up and tapping the purple orb, causing all of them to spin around rapidly before the Mugician appeared and entered Ursis.

'Perfect!' Thought Ursis, just as Cromaxx burst through the door making him turn around, ready to fight seriously now.

"Skeletal Strike!" Ursis shouted unleashing his skeleton to attack Cromaxx.

"Skel-Evolve Strike!" Said Cromaxx unleashing his own larger and demonic skeleton, with both of them clashing against each other.

"Lavalanche!" Said Ursis, shooting out blasts of lava destroying both skeletons and continuing towards Cromaxx.

"Freeze Flash!" Cromaxx yelled while releasing freezing air and rocks, with both attacks colliding together and creating a large amount of steam before they ended.

"Muge's Edge! Fearless Strike!" Ursis yelled, jumping through the steam and slamming his fist into Cromaxx's face, sending him crashing through a wall into another room.

"Shadow Strike!" Roared Cromaxx as all the surrounding shadows rose up and rushed towards Ursis.

"Tectostrike!" Said Ursis, slamming his fists into the ground with several rocks floating into the air and charging towards the shadows dispersing them.

"Rip Tide!" Cromaxx said, creating two balls of water that he launched towards the rocks as large waves that overpowered the rocks and slammed into Ursis.

"Flood Force!" Said Cromaxx as the water then entrapped Ursis in a sphere of water.

"Poison Panic!" Cromaxx shouted shooting green blasts of poison at the trapped Ursis, his opponent being unable to escape the attack as they impacted him.

"Thunder Shout!" Shouted Ursis, unleashing a powerful shockwave, strong enough to free him from the Flood Force and slam into Cromaxx while sending him crashing into a wall.

Ending the attack, Ursis roared as he charge Cromaxx, slamming into him and sending them both crashing into another chamber, before Cromaxx grabbed Ursis and threw him against a wall.

"Ice Disk!" Cromaxx yelled, throwing multiple ice disks at Ursis, who ducked and dodged them.

"Power Pulse!" Ursis said firing green fists at Cromaxx, the savage Creature leaping out of the way of the attacks.

"Earth Pulse!" Said Cromaxx, stomping his feet on the ground releasing a pulse through the ground that knocked Ursis off balance before he dug his claws into the ground growling at Cromaxx.

"Megaroar!" Ursis roared, unleashing a loud and powerful shockwave which he focused entirely on Cromaxx, who growled and raised his arms as he pushed back by the force of the attack.

"Primal Smash!" Cromaxx shouted while raising his arms up before slamming them down on the ground, causing the entire tower to begin shaking and ending Ursis's attack.

With Cromaxx roaring as he charged Ursis, grabbing him before the Tribeless Creature begin ramming through all the walls and chambers of the pillar. While Ursis grunted with each impact before he began punching Cromaxx to get him to let go. Only for Cromaxx to ignore the attacks and seemed to start running faster, giving a final roar as they broke through the last wall and began falling to the ground below.

The sudden sensation of falling getting Cromaxx to release Ursis who roared and dived towards his opponent, slamming his fist into Cromaxx's face. The savage Creature returning the roar with his own and smashing his head against Ursis's before punching him in the chest. Growling Ursis swiped his claws across Cromaxx's face before wrapping his arms around Cromaxx.

Positioning them so that Cromaxx will hit the ground, Ursis kicked off Cromaxx's back and pulled his arm back.

"Fearless Strike!" Ursis roared while diving back down at Cromaxx to slam his fist into him.

"Torrent of Water!" Said Cromaxx shooting a blast of water at Ursis to throw him back, while shooting another blast at the ground to slow his decent a little.

The attack allowing Cromaxx to survive crashing into the ground, while Ursis was thrown back towards Castle Pillar. Managing to grab hold of the edge while roaring before launching himself down at Cromaxx, tackling the savage Creature as they began rolling on the ground, both of them punching and clawing at each other. With them soon ending up on the edge of the surrounding lava with Ursis on top on Cromaxx and trying to force him back into the lava.

Seeing this, Cromaxx knew he needed to act fast or else he was done for.

"Song of Translocation!" Cromaxx said, activating his Mugic, teleporting him and Ursis away from Castle Pillar and into Prexxor Chasm, with the ground shaking and rocks falling around them.

With the sudden change of Location being enough to distract Ursis long enough for Cromaxx to slam his fist into his face, knocking him off and allowing the Tribeless Creature to get up.

"It's time to end this!" Cromaxx said, knowing the battle and match will end here, with Ursis smirking.

"I couldn't agree more! Unheard Melody!" Said Ursis activating his own Mugic, with Cromaxx having no time to react before he suddenly burst into code.

*Port Court*

"Yes! He actually won!" Tom cheered, along with Kaz, Sarah and Peyton.

"Woohoo! Way to go dude! AHAHAHAHAHA!" Said Peyton before laughing in excitement that they saw Naruto really defeat Crellan.

"Alright, way to go Naruto!" Kaz said while smiling at his friends victory.

"YES! I knew he could do it!" Cheered Sarah, smiling happily that her friend/crush had actually won his first CodeMaster Match.

"NO!" Nick shouted, throwing his drink in anger that Naruto actually somehow won.

"How did that loser actually defeat a CodeMaster?!" Demanded Tank, slamming his fists down on the table.

"He had to have cheated! There's no way he could just code a Creature like that without an attack!" Yelled Sanjay with a scowl and believing Naruto cheated.

"He didn't, he used Mugic. Again, you'd have seen it if you put your egos and personal grudges away for five minutes." Sam said while rolling his eyes, though smirked since now he was able to see a lot of new and interesting scans, along with learning a lot of useful information.

"Let it go, you wanna go cry about it, then do it somewhere you won't further humiliate yourselves." Said Krystella while mentally smirking at getting Naruto's savage and more brutal side again.

*Kiru City*

"YES! He won!" Aivenna said jumping up out of her seat in excitement at seeing Naruto won the match.

"That was certainly an amazing battle." Said Afjak, amazed at the skill, planning and strategy displayed.

"Indeed it was Afjak, these Chaotic matches are quite entertaining to see rather than hear of." Najarin added, seeing that Chaotic was definitely more than just an average game.

"You don't look surprised Intress. You weren't expecting this were you?" Maxxor asked rhetorically while looking at his friend with smirk, who returned it with her own.

"I never doubted for a second that he would win." Said Intress, having been fully confident Naruto would win, getting a laugh from the OverWorld Leader before he stood up.

"Well, I don't know about the rest of you, but seeing those battles put me the mood for some training and sparring. After all, I can't have a Chaotic player being a better me than me." Maxxor said, having seen the way Naruto battled as him and was interested in improving himself and trying out the moves he saw.

With Intress, Aivenna and Afjak getting up to follow him, also desiring to get some training and sparring done after those great battles.

*UnderWorld City*

"Alright! Way to go Naruto!" H'earring cheering at seeing his friend win the battle.

"HAHA! Yes, that's my future mate right there!" Said Takinom with a large smile, not ashamed of what she just said, now refusing to let Naruto get away from her.

"That was…definitely far more than I expected. In a good way though, and a very entertaining one." Stated Nivenna, only being further amazed and intrigued by Naruto with how he battled as different Creatures.

"Indeed it was. I must admit it, I was skeptical of seeing this human game, but now I'm glad I did. To see such a spectacular battle and prowess. What did you think, Chaor?" Agitos asked, looking at Chaor only to see him getting up and walking away.

"What do I think?! I think I'm going to the Colosseum to knock some heads together! After what I just saw, I'm making sure I'm at my strongest when I can finally fight that kid!" Said Chaor, eagerly as he headed for the UnderWorld Colosseum, having seen how Naruto fought as him and combined attacks together, wanting to practice doing that and needing to fight some Creatures himself.

A sentiment Takinom and Nivenna shared as they joined the leader to have their own battles.

*Mipedim Oasis*

"That was…quite spectacular. Far more than I ever could have expected." Mudeenu stated in amazement at the match, with Iflar and Siado nodding in agreement.

"Indeed it was cousin, young Naruto certainly has great skill and abilities both as a human and as Creatures. I dare say, if he'd been born in Perim then few would be able to rival him." Said Iflar, knowing it was good they would have Naruto's aid in battling the M'arrillians.

"Definitely, Your Highness. Makes me wish to see what he can do here in Perim as himself." Siado said, something Iflar and Mudeenu had to agree with.

"Perhaps we will one day. Though for now, I will be organizing the training of the soldiers, these battles have given me some new ideas to improve our ranks and abilities." Said Mudeenu with Iflar standing up.

"I shall join you Mudeenu, it's been too long since I entered the training yard and after such an excellent display of fighting abilities, I don't wish to grow rusty or fall behind. Siado, you're more than welcome to join us." Iflar said, surprising Mudeenu and Siado before they nodded as the three exited the palace.

*Mount Pillar*

"Now that's what I'm talking about! That was some of the best fighting I've seen in my entire life!" Odu-Bathax said, amazed at the battling in the match, having not expected humans to be so skilled at fighting as Creatures, seeing there's definitely more to this game than they thought.

"No kidding, most of them I forgot it were actually just a matches between two players. They can seriously get into the right mindset of the Creatures they play as." Said Wamma, with Aszil nodding in agreement at how amazing the match was.

"Indeed, that was so much more than I was expecting and I can say I wasn't disappointed at all. I'm sure mother will be interested in hearing about it." Aszil said, planning to tell her mother about the match, maybe even see if Naruto can bring another one of these screens to be set up in her chambers.

*Crellan Drome*

"The winner of the match, Chaotic Phantom." The DromeMaster announced.

"YES! I actually won!" Ursis said as he transformed back into Naruto, smiling in excitement and happiness that he really won.

"You waited until I used Song of Translocation, leaving me with no Mugicians left, then using Unheard Melody to code Cromaxx. That planning was…perfect. Congratulations Naruto." Crellan said in amazement and pride at how Naruto was able to successfully outmaneuver him.

"Thank you CodeMaster Crellan, but I did learn from the best." Replied Naruto while smiling at Crellan, knowing he had him to thank for a lot of what he's learned and how far he's come, along with the rest of his friends.

Before his smile widened as he looked at his Scanner to see a scan of Prexxor Chasm has been uploaded to it.

"That scan will unlock a new world for you, there are still many secret of Prexxor Chasm to be discovered. Use it wisely and say hello to Ursis and Ariak when you see them again." Said Crellan, with Naruto nodding happily that he'll get to see his other Creature friends again, and whenever he wants.

Exiting the Drome, Naruto was greeted to his friend running up to him, with Sarah running up and hugging him.

"Naruto! That was amazing!" Sarah said while smiling brightly at him, something that made Naruto happy at seeing her starting to act like her old self again.

"Dude, that was the most epic and awesome match ever!" Said Peyton, having never seen a match that intense before.

"Definitely! The way you used your Creatures and then that ending battle, it was just beyond anything we've seen before!" Kaz added.

"It's definitely gonna be hard for anyone to top a match like that! Now come on, let's see it." Tom said, all of them eager to see Naruto's new scan, with the whiskered blonde showing them the Prexxor Chasm scan much to their amazement.

"Prexxor Chasm, just think of all stuff you'll be able scan there!" Said Kaz, with Naruto nodding in agreement.

"Yeah, there's still a lot of different Creatures to scan and see, probably even ones that Crellan hasn't seen or heard of. But I'm gonna be happy just seeing two, right now." Naruto replied, knowing the first thing he'll do is go see Ursis and Ariak to tell them about everything that's happened since he arrived in Chaotic.

"So how does it feel to win your first CodeMaster Match?" Sarah asked.

"Honestly, when I first started battling, it was just to beat Crellan and win a Prexxor Chasm scan. But now after seeing how fun it is to battle in the Dromes, along with all the adventures in Perim, now I'm gonna be aiming for the other six CodeMasters. And I'm sure they're all gonna be really tough opponents and do everything they can to beat me, but that just means I have to try my best to win." Said Naruto, making them all smile before Peyton wrapped an arm around his shoulder.

"Well hold that thought for a moment, dude! Cause we still have to celebrate and we put together a little surprise for ya! Let's go!" Said Peyton before the four of them began pulling Naruto back to his house.

Once they arrived and went inside, Naruto was surprised to see his house looked completely different. Seeing there were now dozens of DVDs put on the shelves, music CDs, books, a sound system, and even a few game consoles he's heard them talk about.

"Surprise!" The group said, while Naruto looked around in amazement.

"What…is all this?" Naruto asked, before hearing chuckling and saw Kit walk out.

"You have your friends to thank for this. After you first showed Sarah and Peyton this place, they decided to make it feel…more like a home." Said Kit, much to Naruto's surprise as he looked at the others.

"That's right dude, we couldn't have you just sit around here with nothing to do besides watch matches. So, we brought you some stuff from Earth; movies, shows, music, games, everything you could need, though Sarah insisted on the books too. Totally my idea by the way." Peyton said with a smirk while Tom, Kaz and Sarah rolled their eyes before smiling at Naruto.

"So, what do you think?" Sarah asked, as Naruto looked around before smiling at them in happiness.

"It's amazing. Thank you for this, and everything else." Naruto said, glad to have them as his friends.

"Glad you like it. Now…how about celebrating your refurbished house and winning your match." Said Tom before turning on the stereo.

(Chaotic OST-Cure For The Common Code)

Naruto laughed as his friends started dancing to the music, before looking at Kit when he walked up to him.

"You've really grown a lot since I first met you in Prexxor Chasm, Naruto. And I can't say how proud I am to have seen your journey to become such an amazing Chaotic player and the help you're giving to Perim." Kit said, smiling at Naruto and holding out his hand, only to be surprised when Naruto hugged him instead before he returned the hug.

"I couldn't have gotten this far without your help, bringing me to Chaotic, and giving me my Scanner. I couldn't have done any of that without you, so thank you Kit…for everything and believing in me." Said Naruto while smiling at the CodeMaster, who was touched by Naruto's words and smiled at the Uzumaki.

"No problem and I'm glad for the chance to have met you Naruto. You're definitely a special kid." Replied Kit while placing a hand on Naruto's shoulder.

"I prefer unpredictable." Naruto stated, getting a laugh from Kit before they joined the others in celebrating his victory as the music played.

It's hypnotic and exotic

So psychotic

It's Chaotic

It's hypnotic and exotic

So psychotic

It's Chaotic!

So, what did you think good. Yep we see Naruto has commissions Bodal and Ulmar to creating viewing screens for his Creature friends in Perim to watch his match against Crellan, before delivering them to each of the Tribes. Then it's the main event as he's challenged by Crellan, with three days to train and prepare then the start of the match and seeing how Naruto and Crellan are both going all out in defeating the other with their teams. With Naruto starting off strong by coding Ariak and Loup, only to lose most of his team against Kaeroa before coding him with Ursis, but then runs into the ace of Crellan's team, Cromaxx. Having to sacrifice Ursis to code Logmmmak then coding Jackal with Maxxor, only for Cromaxx to code Maxxor and Chaor back-to-back, with Naruto managing to revive Ursis before losing Chaor. Then the final match between Ursis and Cromaxx in Castle Pillar, with Ursis racing to get the Mugician before the battle really begins, until Cromaxx takes them to Prexxor Chasm giving Ursis the opening to use Unheard Melody to code Cromaxx and win the match. Along with seeing the reactions of Naruto's friends in Chaotic and Perim, along with his enemies, to the battles and his victory. Finally we see Naruto's friends have refurbished his home (if you all remember Peyton's idea back when he and Sarah first saw his house) before celebrating his victory. So, review if you liked go away if you didn't.

Storm out
