"Hello there and welcome to a new chapter of THE V2, last time Emerald used a new skill to push his body further then anyone ever saw before to fight the rogue sage Bordux, can he win?, find out on this latest chapter." TME said before he looked to the left before he spoke up.

"Here are tonight's guests, Infernus and Oceanic!" TME said before the Polar opposite lovers walked in before Infernus spoke up.

"Thanks for the invite kid."Infernus said while sitting down before TME spoke up in a blank tone. "Would a kid write lemons and make the story dark in some places?" TME asked rhetorically before Infernus replied.

"Compared to how old we are kid, we don't really care." Infernus said while she relaxed in the chair before Oceanic spoke up. "Hehe!, sorry there TME, but you have to admit she is in one of her better moods." Oceanic said while he sat down next to Infernus before TME spoke up after sweatdropping.

"N-noted, well here some snacks and on to the story..." TME said before he held up three fingers.

IN 3!2!1! GO!

"I won't let anyone here die... even if it takes away my humanity... even if it kills me... even if it destroys my soul or whatever I don't care!" Emerald said before he took a familiar stance confusing all but Bordux who's grin spread further across his face before Emerald spoke up.

"IF THIS DOESN'T, I DON'T KNOW WHAT WILL!" Emerald roared before he roared out one more time.

"DARKNESS OVERDRIVE!" Emerald roared beforea massive pillar of darkness erupted under him before turning turning blood red before it started to warp and twist into a vortex while the rest could only watch in horror because unlike last time, were Emerald was OK Mentally, this time Emerald was unstable.

The vortex then sped up and shrank before a form was seen which made everyone look at Emerald in horror.

Emerald now looked like a demonic looking monster, he looked like a demonic version of himself, His entire body glowed red in various areas, red mist was leaking from him, his nails now looked like claws, and his teeth looked extremely sharp, veins were bulging in various place like his body could barely contain the darkness surging inside while a pure black aura emitted from him like a storm.

His eyes opened shortly after his body appeared, they were pure white for a moment before turning completely black, then purple catlike eyes with no pupils appeared right after.

All in all, Everyone was horrified at the transformation while the scene faded to black.

Now

"Emerald!?" Lillum whispered while she looked in horror while Emerald stood still before Core spoke up.

"W-What...happened to him? Core said horrified at the form Emerald took before Leonel stammered a bit while she spoke up.

"I-I don't k-know." Leonel stammered out when her instincts told her to run before Emerald started to walk forward which got everyone's attention before he spoke up with every step.

"I...wont...be...alone...again...I'll...pro..tect...friends...no...mat..ter...what!" Emerald slowly said before he leaned forward and launched towards Bordux who smiled while the battle started again in earnest.

Rage Emerald VS puppet Bordux (Round 1)

Emerald launched toward Bordux who jumps back in a defensive stance while Emerald pulled his fist back before he swinged it forward which hit the ground were Bordux was just a moment ago.

The resulting impact caused a crater to form under Emerald before the shockwave caused the crests holding Nocturn and the others to break while the illusion Nocturn flew away to a platform.

To say the others were shocked was like saying Core in his dragon form was small to them, it happened so fast they could barely keep up.

Bordux landed nearby before he spoke up while Emerald's eyes focused on the sage.

"My, my Emerald!, such strength!" Bordux said in an impressed tone before Emerald roared while he charged Bordux, and as soon his right foot hit ground he vanished which caused Bordux to grin before he spoke up.

"Not bad!" Bordux said while his eyes glowed red before he spoke up.

"But not good enough!" Bordux said while he turned his entire body towards Emerald as soon as he appeared, raised his staff and a crest appeared to block Emerald's fist.

Emerald in turn roared at Bordux before vanishing again before he sped around the room at high speeds to look for an opening to strike Bordux who spoke up while shrugging.

"Come now, the same old tricks?" Bordux said before he blocked Emeralds attack again which enraged Emerald further before he jumped back before he charged Bordux again with a dark aura surrounding him before it then condensed into his fist, he swinged it forward, expecting Bordux to dodge.

Bordux saw what Emerald was doing and spoke up.

"Now why would I block that, hmm?" Bordux said before he vanished and reappeared behind Emerald who swinged his fist around surprising Bordux with the out of style move.

The backhand connected and Bordux was sent flying back into the wall with a cloud of dust while the scene shifted.

outside

"YEAH!, THAT AUGHT TO KNOCK HIM DOWN A PEG OR TWO!" Zack shouted while slamming his fist into his palm before Kamikazix spoke up. "not to be a downer but I doubt he would be taking out that easily." Kamikazix said before the group looked back to the fight.

Back to battle

Just then a chuckle could be heard from the dust cloud before it started to settle while Bordux walked out of the cloud with barely a scratch before he spoke up after dusting himself off.

"Well now, it seems I need to get a little serious don't I?" Bordux said before he grabbed the blade in his right hand while the staff vanished before he held it above his right arm, and shouted something odd to the dungeon group.

"SHOW THE WORLD ITS TRUE SIDE, KAGUYA!" Bordux shouted before the blade then somehow turned into water and reformed into a shield on his right arm.

The shield looked like a mirror attached to Bordux's arm by the same odd material it was made out of, Metal and wood fusion.

he summoned his staff back to his left hand and got into a defensive stance while the scene shifted.

outside

"What the hell!?, how did the blade do that!?" Zack said in shock before Xan spoke up which got everyone's attention.

"Simple, the blades has various abilities aside from the initial form, some blades can evolve and grow depending on various factors, some by evolving or just by knowing a segment of its true name to grow to the next stage, some say there is a stage above its true release but not even the original guardians who guarded the Master Emerald hold records of it, there could be users that are not recorded to help keep it a secret but I'm not sure."Xan said while looking to the screen before .

"So Bordux is more deadly now!?" Shunpei asked in a worried tone before Nexus spoke up.

"I don't know boy, I never saw Bordux use that blades form, and I doubt that the other Elemental's saw this form either." Nexus said with the other Elemental's reluctantly agreeing before everyone looked back to the fight.

battle

"I'd like to congratulate you Emerald, I may be quick on my feet and smart not only in studies and battle, but hardly anyone was quick enough to get past my sight to actually hit me." Bordux said before he bowed to Emerald which made Emerald growl in response before Bordux spoke up.

"But I'd also like to say that now you don't even have a snowballs chance in hell now that Kaguya is in her advance state." Bordux said before he faced Kaguya in Emerald's direction which made Emerald roar before charging in response.

Bordux was hoping to for that to happen before Emerald got closer the Mirror on his shield shimmered which showed Emerald's reflection while Emerald threw his fist forward to attack.

To everyone's surprise, while Emerald swinged his fist towards Bordux, a red fist like Emerald's came out of the mirror and hit Emerald's fist in response which sent Emerald flying while Bordux stood there grinning before Emerald landed on his hands and feet before standing up before Bordux spoke up while the arm gripped the mirrors edge.

"Id like to introduce you to one of Kaguya's abilities, its called Doppelganger, and it is a very interesting ability that creates a double of the attacker for a short time, you know that old saying about seeing your double you die?, well lets see if that rumor is true!" Bordux explained before a red double of Emerald pulled itself out of the mirror and got up from the ground growling.

Emerald in response charged the double to get too Bordux but was punched back so fast the others couldn't even see the double move before Bordux spoke up.

"I should say that even though my movements are restricted when using Doppelganger, it adds my power to the double, you could say your fighting a improved version of yourself if you want to get simple." Bordux said with a grin before Emerald roared in response and charged the double again this time going for speed instead of power before he vanished as he got close.

the double stood there for a moment before catching Emeralds fist from its left and swinged Emerald towards the ground so hard that he caused a crater to form under the doubles before Lillum shouted in worry.

"EMERALD!" Lillum shouted before she flew above the dust cloud that formed and saw that Bordux was focused on watching the fight play out.

The dust settled before she then saw that one Emerald had his foot on the other's chest and had no clue which one was which before Nocturn flew over before speaking up.

"Lillum target the one on his chest!" Nocturn said when he flew over before Lillum summoned a ice spike before speaking up.

"I hope your right!" Lillum said before she cast the ice spike at the one on Emerald's chest.

The double noticed the ice spike coming towards him and jumped back to guard Bordux who in turn looked towards Lillum with a grin before speaking up.

"Well, well, seems the little lady wants to join in, why don't you entertain her?" Bordux said while he pointed the mirror towards the double before the mirror shimmered which made the double looked towards Lillum back away from the double's gaze before speaking up.

"uh oh." was all Lillum said before she started to fly away with the double in pursuit while the scene went to Emerald who regained some mental control.

with Emerald in crater

Emerald could barely move, the double was strong, stronger then he thought and if Lillum hadn't intervene he would have been crushed.

Just then he heard a scream followed by a voice shouting in worry, from what he heard it was most likely Leonel.

"LILLUM!" Leonel shouted in a way that froze Emerald's blood cold before he forced himself to get up and looked over to the groups direction to see Core and Leonel against the wall with more injuries while the double pinned Lillum down on the ground with a boot on her stomach with a hand raised in a stabbing motion for the killing blow.

Emerald couldn't take it seeing his friends hurt and seeing Lillum about to be killed caused something to snap inside.

*heartbeat**heartbeat*heartbeat*

*Snap*

With Lillum

Lillum saw that the double raised its hand in a stabbing motion which made her close her eyes while the double started to stab at Lillum who waited for death.

For a moment nothing happened which confused Lillum before she opened her eye and saw in shock that the double's arm was being held back by Emerald who held it back with one hand and was slouched over with his back facing Lillum before she spoke up when the double removed its foot from her stomach.

"Emerald?"Lillum asked in a worried tone when she saw purple smoke now rising from Emerald in various places, he looked oddly calm now compared to earlier though, and that was what worried her greatly after he spoke up.

"Even now I'm still weak huh." Emerald said with in a deeper, calm tone, before the double jerked his hand from Emerald and jumped back after getting a feeling of terror from Emerald while the scene shifted.

outside

"Whats happening to Emerald now!?" Cream asked greatly worried for her friend before Vanilla spoke up."I don't know honey, I don't know." Vanilla said holding onto Cream as the others looked on helpless.

back to battle

"Even now, even though I have this power its not enough huh?" Emerald said oddly calm while his hands lowered in front of him with his head looking down before he spoke up again.

"Maybe I should take seriously then." Emerald said shocking everyone which made Bordux smile even wider then before if that was even possible when he realized that Emerald wasn't bluffing.

Emerald stood there quietly thinking back to the steel event

Dark Emerald jumped back as he waited for the dust to settle, he then saw Steel get up, and even though he was greatly damaged from that last attack, he looked insanely happy as he grinned.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!, well guess I had that one coming for not planning ahead so how about this!?" Steel said snapping his fingers as a barrier appeared around Emerald which locked him in but Emerald didn't even look mad as he stared at Steel with rapt attention.

"HEHE!, now before I was interrupted here goes something!" Steel said as he crossed his arms in a X like guard as the dim blue glow turned raging red in color.

"CHAOS OVERDRIVE V2!" Steel roared out as he felt his body erupt explode with Intense energy before he charged Emerald who crossed his arms to block Steels charging form which blew the cage apart as he punched Emerald into the wall on the far end with a cloud of dust blocking everyone's view for a few seconds as the room fell silent except for loose rocks and dust hitting the ground.

back to battle

Taking a similar stance to Chaos overdrive, Emerald growled out with a dead look in his eyes while the rest looked on in shock.

"Well Steel... it seem I learned one thing from you... Darkness Overdrive V2!" Emerald growled out and as soon as he said that a red orb of darkness shot around Emerald before it twisted into a purple vortex that condensed before a cloud of darkness appeared around Emerald while the orb shrank which blocked everyone's sight before Bordux spoke up.

"Well now lets see how this turns out." Bordux said before the mirror shined for a moment before the Double charged into the cloud.

for a minute nothing nothing happened which confused everyone before they saw the Double flying out of the cloud so fast that it left a creator in the wall, the double slid down to its feet.

Everyone saw that it was missing its left arm and looked like it was clawed on the chest before Lillum spoke up.

"W-What happened?" Lillum said worried for Emerald before floating up before Leonel and Core got up before Leonel spoke up.

"I-I don't Know!, I never saw Emerald act like this!"Leonel said hoping Emerald is OK before Core spoke up. "Seems we can see in a second." Core said while drawing his blade before the dark cloud dissipated to show Emerald and what they saw shocked them.

Emerald's skin was covered in a shroud of darkness so thick that it had a purple shine when light hit it,his hair was more wild then before, a Purple mist was pouring out of Emerald at a fast rate, he still retained the claws and fangs, and his eyes changed from black with purple catlike pupils to red with black catlike pupils.

all in all it had a more frightening feel then the last form.

Just then Emerald vanished before reappearing in front of the Doppelganger before he grabbed it by it head with both hands before the double could react.

Emerald then shocked all who saw by crushing the doubles head like a grape which caused the remains to vaporize before Bordux spoke up.

"My, my, Emerald, so ruthless." Bordux said before Emerald looked to him with a cold blank stare which made everyone but Bordux shudder while the scene shifted.

outside

"Emerald what happened to you!?" Vanilla said while looking at Emerald in sadness before Cream spoke up. "Mama will Emerald and his friends be OK?" Cream asked after looking at Emerald in shock before Zack spoke up.

"To be honest kid, I don't think she knows." Zack said before the group looked back to the screen while the scene shifted.

back to battle

Bordux tried to raise his arm to copy Emerald, but before he could get his arm far Emerald vanished and grabbed Bordux's arm so fast that even Bordux lost track for a moment before Emerald spoke up.

"Lets see how durable that puppet body is." Emerald said before he punched Bordux so hard in the face that he was sent flying into the wall and making it collapse from the impact.

outside

"YEAH GET HIM EMERALD!" Zack shouted while making a funny face which made the group sweatdropped in response before they looked back to the screen.(Picture joey wheeler from yugioh and you readers should get it.)

back to battle

"Hehehe well now that is really interesting!" Bordux said in the dust cloud before it cleared which shocked most at what was revealed.

outside

"KYA!" Cream shrieked as she scooted closer to Vanilla while the others were sickened at what they saw.

Battle

Bordux stood back up and what everyone saw that freaked the others out was this while Emerald looked at Bordux with a blank look.

His head was at a angle no human could possibly bend at without snapping and he still kept his sickening grin even then before Bordux spoke up.

"I must say, If I took that hit and not this puppet, I would most likely be dead by now." Bordux said grinning before he grabbed his head and turned it back with his neck giving a loud and sicking crack before Emerald spoke up.

"It seems I need to rip you apart then don't I?" Emerald said blankly before vanishing again while Bordux's grin widened.

Before Emerald could hit Bordux, he was stopped in midair which confused Emerald at what happened because Bordux normally held the staff up though he made no movements whatsoever before Emerald gave Bordux an irritated look while he grit his teeth before Bordux spoke up.

"Well Emerald, it seem you have no idea whats going on so Ill clarify, this staff is a bit special for it allows me to use any spell I've already mastered with no delay for chants or motions, it cost more for it to use but the price is well worth it for what I'm planning." Bordux said before Emerald growled out while he tried to get free before a crest appeared under him which made everyone look at the crest confused before it glowed a bright white light.

Just then Bolt of energy hit Emerald which caused him to scream in agony.

"AAAAAAAHHHHHHH!" Emerald screamed while the others raced to him to help, but bounced off some barrier that blocked the group from helping which launched them on their backs before looking to Emerald in worry.

The group could only look on in horror as Emerald screamed in agony before Nocturn had an idea and flew off, leaving the group for the moment.

The rest of the group looked on before they saw the form that Emerald took was cracking here and there before it finally shattered with the pieces floating in midair while leaving Emerald screaming in his rage form with the same thing happening to that form as well after a minute.

"GRRRRRAAAAAAAAHHH!"Emerald screamed in agony as he wished for the pain to stop.

His Dark form shattered as well after a minute before the three separate set pieces that somehow stayed afloat condensed into three orbs before they flew into the crest underneath Emerald before the crest faded which let Emerald fall to the ground after gravity kicked back in.

As Emerald fell to the ground, the others raced over to catch him, but a figure grabbed Emerald before he could hit the ground, vanished, and reappeared at the wall near the group before Leonel spoke up.

"Who are you!?" Leonel asked before she summoned her weapons again while the figure place Emerald gently on the ground with Lillum flying near while looking concerned before the figure stood up and turned to the group which shocked all with his appearance.

outside

"Impossible he should still be banished!?" Infernus said before the Elemental's agreed, though Kamikazix smirked before she spoke up. "Well... its not like his help wont be needed right?" Kamikazix said while scene shifted.

with the others after Emerald was knocked out

"Dammit, why is this happening!?" Zack shouted in anger. "I don't know but I'll say this I really hope that guy is on our side." Shunpei said as Xan grinned but kept silent.

back to battle

"What?, don't remember these good looks?, I'm hurt." ? said with a grin which shocked all when they recognized that it was the doppelganger Nocturn that flew off the platform from earlier, though the only difference was that it had a gem in its chest that everyone recognized that it was Nocturn's prison before Bordux spoke up.

"I must say not a bad Idea hijacking an illusionary body to use, not bad at all." Bordux clapped while the others looked towards Bordux before Nocturn got a serious look on his face.

Just then Nocturn vanished before he reappeared in the middle of the room, he had a blank look on passive look on his face before he spoke up. "Bordux, I have no idea as to why you want to destroy the gods, but I can assure you, you wont be hurting anyone here." Nocturn said before Bordux spoke up while his chilling grin reappeared.

"Well then what are you waiting for?, lets battle!" Bordux said while he got into a defensive stance before Nocturn spoke up.

"A battle?" Nocturn said while he remembered what Bordux did to everyone, Helios, Leonel, Core, Lynx, Umbra, Emerald, the list went on before he closed his eyes before everyone felt an extreme amount of pressure press down on their bodies, Leonel and Core fell to their hands and knees while Lillum was fully pressed into the ground after she fell while the three had a hard time breathing.

Nocturn noticed that and calmed down which receded the pressure before he looked to Bordux before speaking up.

"No a slaughter!" Nocturn said before he cloaked himself in darkness while the others got up.

Nocturn then held his right arm with his left hand before he spoke up.

" Sense you keep bringing out surprises, let me bring out something that not even the Elemental's witnessed, Lets just hope it works with this fake body!" Nocturn said which caused Bordux to smirk at the new info while the scene shifted.

Outside

"What does he mean?" Xan asked Kamikazix who only shrugged before she looked back to the screen before she spoke up.

"I have no clue, it seems Nocturn really hid things from us but Helios apparently." Kamikazix explained while the scene shifted back to the battle.

back to battle

Nocturn looked down sadly before he spoke up. "Forgive me old friend, it seems I have to break my promise." Nocturn said before he looked back up before he roared out.

"SHOW MY ENEMY TERROR, TENSHIMUSHA!" Nocturn roared out before a crest appeared in front of Nocturn while the scene shifted to the outside.

outside

Xan stood up so fast that it surprised everyone, not only at the speed, but the face he had, it was one of absolute horror.

He then said something that confused the group greatly.

"How is this possible!?, That blade was sealed by the vary first guardian!, WHY DOES NOCTURN POSSESS IT!?" Xan shouted near the end before Zack spoke up.

"Whats so bad about that blade?" Zack asked surprised at xan's reaction before Xan spoke up.

"It's suppose to be forbidden to speak about but it seems I have no choice, Tenshimusha is the twin brother of Onimusha, It's the only other SSS rank blade that can match Onimusha." Xan said shocking those who heard about the ranking but confused those who have not heard about the story before Zack continued.

"What makes that blade more forbidden then Onimusha?" Zack asked as he wondered how Tenshimusha was worse then Onimusha before Xan continued.

"The reason is no one was ever able to master Tenshimusha without losing there sanity, unlike Onimusha who gradually drove the wielder to madness, if you rested the madness fades, Tenshimusha overpowers the wielder instantly and takes over leaving no hope for the wielder, the last time that happened, the guardians lost 30 members!" Xan said shocking all even the Elemental's before Chise spoke up.

"The hell!?, why was that blade not destroyed then?" Chise said while looking towards Xan before he spoke up.

"Simple, the brother blades regenerate even from a single shard or piece of melted metal, it's baffling really as to how it works." Xan said stunning the group before he looked back to the screen before he spoke up.

"Rumor also has it that they are always in their advance stage because of their raw power." Xan said while Nocturn took his stance

Back to battle before Nocturn summoned Tenshimusha

Nocturn looked down sadly before he spoke up. "Forgive me old friend, it seems I have to break my promise." Nocturn said before he looked back up before he roared out.

"SHOW MY ENEMY TERROR, TENSHIMUSHA!" Nocturn roared out before a crest appeared in front of Nocturn.

Before anyone could react, blade handle then appeared in the middle of the crest before Nocturn grabbed the handle and pulled the rest of the blade out of the crest which vanished while everyone got a good look at the blade.

the blade looked completely white with black pulsing veins on the sides, there was a hole near the handle the size of a mans head, the blade looked like a giant meat-cleaver with a curved tip on the slicer side while the other side was completely flat, the blade itself was massive, all in all it looked like a freaky looking great-sword before Bordux spoke up.

"My my, that is a really impressive weapon, I hope this is will turn into a good fight!" Bordux said when he felt the murderous aura coming from the blade before a voice spoke up.

"KEKEKEKE!, Its been awhile partner!, who's the next victim this time!?" ? said shocking the group before everyone looked around for the voice.

Just then a white mist emerged from the hole in the blade and it condensed into a man like figure who emerged from the mist.

He had pure white hair that was wild, it was tied in a pony tail, he also had a extremely pale complexion, he had a handsome face though it was warped with a insane grin with a crazed look in his eyes.

He wore a really old set of ancient Japanese armor, he had a white long sleeve shirt with a black breastplate with no gauntlets but black bracers that held the sleeves in place, he wore white pants with black samurai sandals.

"So now who is the target this time, HUH!?, HUH!?" Tenshimusha yelled out before he looked around before Nocturn pointed the blade at Bordux before speaking up. "Him Tenshimusha, that's the target!" Nocturn said before Tenshimusha gave Bordux a crazed look before dissolving into mist.

The mist then flew back into the blade before the veins pulsed to life before Nocturn spoke up.

"Lets end this Bordux!" Nocturn said before he charged Bordux.

Nocturn puppet body vs Bordux Puppet body (Round 1)

Bordux in turn grinned at Nocturn's action.

He was about to move and copy Nocturn when Nocturn vanished before he slashed downward with Bordux blocking with Kaguya.

Bordux then sent an ice spike towards nocturn who dodged and gave a vertical slash into a forward step with a darkness enhanced punched that caused Bordux to block, get sent back into the wall and Bordux in return landed on the wall and jumped towards Nocturn with his staff held in front of him with a crest ready to cast another spell.

Nocturn in return took the sealbreaker stance while Bordux few to the wall before the crest wrap around his hand like with Emerald vs Core and charged Bordux.

The duo met in the center of the shrine with a sound like glass breaking and saw Bordux fly into the wall with a boom.

The dust cleared to show that Bordux was embedded in the wall before Nocturn appeared with a orb of darkness in his hand before he spoke up.

"Any parting words traitor?" Nocturn said in a cold tone before Bordux smirked while his weapons vanished before he spoke up.

"I got what I came here for, hope I see you again later." Bordux said before Nocturn condensed the darkness in his hand before he thrust his hand forward before shouting.

"DARK IMPACT CANNON!" Nocturn shouted before releasing the attack.

the resulting blast was so massive in one direction that it blew not only the wall it took a pad with it as well.

When the blast vanished Bordux was not there before Nocturn spoke up after he walked out of the dust cloud.

"Seems I got a good hit in."Nocturn said with a smirk before he turned to the shocked dungeon group before Leonel spoke up.

"N-Nocturn!?, how did you...!?"Leonel tried to asked before Nocturn finished for her.

"Get a body?, simple, I hijacked the Illusion version and the rest is how you saw." Nocturn said as the darkness faded from Nocturn's body before Leonel spoke up.

"Well not to be a downer, but wasn't that to easy, did he just give up?" Leonel said while Core looked around the room to be sure.

Lillum on the other hand was worried about Emerald, she put his head on her lap before she spoke up.

"What about Emerald?" Lillum asked which got Nocturn and the others attention before looking toward Emerald in concern before Lillum spoke up.

"Can't you do anything Nocturn?" Lillum asked in a worried tone because Emerald hasn't woken up yet while Nocturn waled over, examine Emerald, before speaking up.

"Hmm, I don't know What Bordux did, but it seems the Darkness in Emerald was drained before the Link between us was cut somehow, I have no idea what happened or what Emerald's going threw now." Nocturn said which depressed the group before the shrine began to shake before starting to crumble before Core shouted out.

"NO TIME WE GOTTA LEAVE!" Core shouted before he slinged Emerald on his shoulder before the group ran to the pad they came from before Leonel shouted in worry.

"WHAT NOW!?, HOW DO WE LEAVE!?" Leonel shouted over the crashing of rocks.

Just then a crest appeared underneath the group before it flashed greatly which caused the group to shield their eyes.

After a minute the flash died down and the group opened their eyes saw that they were back in the small room they were in before the teleportation into the shrine.

After looking around the room, the group noticed that Nocturn was back in his gem form before Nocturn pouted before he spoke up.

"Well it was fun while it lasted, lets go everyone, if the rest area is on the 75 floor lets hope its before the fight like with Core." Nocturn said before heading deeper with the others in tow while the scene shifted.

outside

"Well at least that freaky guy is gone right?" Shunpei said while the group had different things to say in response.

"I don't know, don't you think that Bordux held back not only with Nocturn, but with Emerald even in those freaky forms he took?" Zack said while looking to everyone before Kamikazix spoke up.

"That's an easy one, Bordux couldn't go all out because he was using a puppet body, not his real one, not only that, he was sending his power from a great distance that limited the effectiveness of the power sent, its like fighting with a brand new weapon, you need to master it to properly use it right?" Kamikazix explained before Tails spoke up.

"Hold on, what's he like going all out then?" Tails asked in a worried tone before Kamikazix looked to the ground for a moment in sadness before she spoke up. "Enough to make one of us seem like a simple encounter if we are not serious." Kamikazix said shocking the group.

"Hold on, didn't Nocturn take him on easily though!?" Chise asked after she pulled out her hammer while Kamikazix took a moment to look at her before she replied.

"Nocturn was in a more favorable position, he had a direct link to his temporary body, therefore making the power he sent give 100% efficiency, not only that, if what I can remember about the blade he had has a common ability that brought it up past 100% making the user more powerful." Kamikazix said which confused the group before she continued after sighing.

"Sigh, here let me give comparisons." Kamikazix said before chanting which made a pool of floating water appear in the middle before chibi versions of Noctun and Bordux appeared on the surface.

"For Bordux before he defected, here is the list." Kamikazix said while a list appeared.

"1. Bordux was a sage, a master magic caster, that made him deadly in many arts." Kamikazix said getting the groups attention before she continued.

"2. His physical attributes are not to be underestimated either, he amplifies his strength by sending his aura into his limbs, making them many times stronger." Kamikazix said while Pluton recorded the list for later updates.

"3. He also knew the previous guardian leader, last we heard he got the blade from a cave of trials." Kamikazix explained before Xan nodded while thinking that it made sense for Bordux's blade to evolve.

"Now here is what we know about the current version." Kamikazix said before another list pops up after the other list vanished.

"1. He found a sealed forbidden tome that held many secrets, most likely that berserker like crest and the Master Core turning into its current form, from before the current Elemental's came into being, meaning before me, Terragaia, Nebula, Shiro, Kuro, Nexus, Infernus, and Oceanic, Helios and Nocturn might have info on it, though I'm not sure about that sense Helios died and Nocturn was sealed." Kamikazix said not liking this one bit sense she was lacking info.

"2. what he said about Emerald being linked to the Master Emerald is iffy at best sense we have no proof and it seems Emerald is down for the count for now." Kamikazix said while everyone listened before she continued.

"3. The fact that he did something with that darkness he took from Emerald is a mystery as well, not only that, even though Emerald was in a berserk like state it seemed Bordux was holding back against Emerald for some reason, It could be that plan of his or something else, I don't know, but what I know is this, Bordux it the real enemy here not Nocturn." Kamikazix stated with most of the Elemental's nodding in agreement while Infernus looked away growling.

"4. It would be safe to say that Bordux is not alone in this, he may be many things now, but an idiot he is not." Kamikazix said with everyone in agreement.

"Now for Nocturn." Kamikazix stated before a list appeared over chibi Nocturn.

"1. Before he was sealed, Nocturn was one of the strongest close range Elemental's though he never used a weapon until now, which was a mystery for some reason." Kamikazix said while the others looked at the list.

"2. Nocturn before the Incident had no spells to speak of, I have no clue if Helios helped him or he learned how to from someone else, but the magic he tried to cast before always blew up in his face, for all we know that could have been a ruse." Kamikazix stated while some of the Elemental's chuckled or flat out laughed at some of the more hilarious failures of Nocturn's spell blunders.

"3. finally this is me being spiteful, but Nocturn was an even worse womanizer before he met Helios, who know how many descendants in other dimensions there are." Kamikazix said a bit ticked with the others sweatdropping.

"Now for what we now now, Here is another list." Kamikazix said after another list popped up.

"1. Nocturn knows spells that were never seen before witch leaves the question how much he knows." Kamikazix said while the rest agreed.

"2. He has a blade that was apparently forbidden to even the guardians, How he got it is unknown." Kamikazix said while the list increased.

"3. Like I said Nocturn had a direct link to the Illusion body so he could give 100% in power while Bordux in comparison could only give 30% or so, maybe less depending on where he sent the energy from." Kamikazix said shocking the group at the info before the pool vanished.

"So what your saying is that even though Emerald went overkill in trying to beat him, Bordux was barely fighting at all at 30%!?" Shunpei whispered in shock while the others were stunned silent at that info.

"W-What do we do then!?" Chise said looking around worried before Xan stood up to stretch for a moment before speaking up.

"After Emerald gets out we train that's what!" Xan said before sitting down and pulled out a scroll to write in it with the others looking at each other then back to the screen.

with the dungeon group

Core carried Emerald all the way down the other 15 floors to the rest area which was thankfully before the boss room, unfortunately Emerald was still unconscious ever sense Emerald had the darkness absorbed, and sense Core was carrying Emerald the entire way the group had to rely on Leonel and Lillum to fight the monsters that appeared on floor 61 to 75, not that they were weak, on the contrary they tore through the monsters like hot knifes threw butter after seeing Core having trouble keeping Emerald safe.

The group arrived to the rest area where the place was indeed better then last time.

There was a hot spring nearby like last time and there was a blacksmith repair area to repair weapons and armor.

"Hmm, seems it really upgrades the deeper we go, wonder whats on the 100th floor." Core said before walking into the cabin with the others in tow.

The inside of the cabin

Core noticed that there was a room for everyone and set Emerald on the closest bed to see if he would recover.

"I hope he wakes up soon." Lillum said when she saw that Emerald was still sleeping.

"Well we need to stay here then until he awakes, lets go to sleep its been a few hard days for us." Nocturn said before floating to the nightstand with the others leaving except for Lillum.

"Hay Nocturn isn't there anything we can do?" Lillum asked with Nocturn opening one eye before he spoke up.

"The only thing I can think of is to wait and see if he is normal again after he wakes, we can plan for after then." Nocturn said while Lillum nodded and floated to an empty bed in another room to let Emerald sleep.

meanwhile another dimension right after Puppet defeat

A man was laughing in a chair when the crest vanished from his head, he then got up, walked out of the room and walked into another room that held many workers with many massive crests littering the floors and walls, three of them had Emerald's three dark stages, a woman walked up before she spoke to Bordux.

"So father how was Emerald?" ? said grinning before Bordux spoke up.

Bordux looked towards his daughter before chuckled.

"He did vary well, he just needs a better push to move things along, but one step at a time Nex." Bordux said before he looked to the three orbs of darkness.

Nex in question wore a simple blue shirt, brown cargo pant with a skull pattern on one pocket, she had black hair in twin pigtails that stopped near her hips, she had a tan complexion though it was getting paler from not going anywhere by her fathers orders.

"You know, even after all these years, I still don't know why you named me after your student, any reason for that?" Nex asked while looking over the three orbs.

"Well that's two reasons, one of them is that I respect her as a magic caster while the other is this, is there a reason not to?" Bordux said grinning before walking down a set of stairs leading to the orbs.

Just then an extreamly large bulky man, with extremely long wild brown hair in a jumpsuit with a winter coat walked up and spoke with venom lacing his voice.

"I still don't see why this boy is so important to our plans Bordux, why not just drain him completely and kill him." ? grunted before Bordux looked up to the large man.

"Oh Aggro you are not here just to insult my plans are you?" Bordux said with a cold grin.

Aggro wasn't even fazed by Bordux's gaze before he spoke up.

"I'm not the only one who questions you, make no mistake its no insult, is it just the boy is to weak." Aggro said before Bordux shook his head while a grin appeared on his face.

"Make no mistake, he is weak now, but with the right push he will get stronger, stronger then we can imagine, enough to make the true plan succeed, after all killing the gods is only one part of the plan." Bordux said while looking back to the orbs of darkness while the scene shifted.

Eggman's skybase

"Hmm, it seems I have some competition." Ivo said when he looked over the footage before he looked over to see that Steel was 50% complete while Metal 75% with the upgrades happening after the eggcam catches the footage of the battle while the scene switched.

Meanwhile in Emerald's dream

Emerald woke up in the clearing feeling funny and not in a good way at all, his body wouldn't move and he couldn't speak, the main question that popped in his head was this.

"Who am I?" Emerald asked before the scene faded to black.

3 hours till dungeon and 2 hours till robot completion

next time

the 2 gifts revealed, a helping hand,and Emerald's true ability

"Well people, here is the next chapter of THE V2, Emerald is not only incapacitated, he has memory loss, what will Bordux do with the three orbs he stole?, what is his true plan?, again can I stop asking questions and get to the next chapter already!?" TME asked while oceanic chuckles.

"Well TME I must say, not a bad chapter,not bad at all, a bit rushed here and there but not bad." Oceanic said before Infernus just hummed.

"Hnn." Infernus said before getting up and walking out while making the male duo sweatdrop.

"T-Thanks Oceanic, and again, it helps build into the series." TME said as he escorted the Elemental duo to the door before walking back in.

"Well readers, I hope you like this Chapter, I gotta upload it now see you next time!" TME said while the scene slowly faded to black while TME walked off stage.
