(Chapter 4: We're Space-Ready…Right?)
It would be a few months after Leonardo's meeting with Wladimir that he began to make the preparations with the Transylian to prepare not only himself, but his ever-growing army of Hellhounds to become spacefaring. Something that was coming along rather well, both in building more advanced tech and weaponry to contend with alien adversaries; on top of building ships that could withstand the rigors of the great beyond.
(April 4th, 2015, Phoenix, Arizona, 2:40 Pm)
It was 20 minutes till 3 in the afternoon as Leonardo was chopping it up with his 2nd in command Tatiana over at his house.
"So let me get this straight. You're still stuck with that piece of Voldemort in your head?" Tatiana asked while she was poured a 2nd tequila shot
"Yup! Turns out that ripping a shard of someone's soul out of your head is pretty difficult…So unless you know any necromancers on hand, then I'm stuck with this shit...Just my luck that I'm someone's walking-talking phylactery." Leonardo answered back in irritation
"It hasn't been messing with you or your aliens, has it?" Tatiana questioned
"As far as I know, everything's still in working order...At least for now." Leonardo replied with a shrug
"The only thing that's a pain in my ass are these super weird dreams I keep having." Leonardo added as he filled himself a glass full of orange Fanta
"What kind of weird-ass dreams?" Tatiana asked
"Can't really make heads or tails of it. I just know they're weird as hell….Which is saying something, when you consider what we do for a living." Leonardo answered back as both took a large swig from their drinks
"You ever think about seeing a shrink or some dream-caster-person thing about this?" Tatiana suggested
"First off, I doubt there's a therapist qualified for the hot mess that's my thought process. Second, I'm not wasting my hard-earned money on a seer or anything that deals with divination…That stuff is pure bullshit!" Leonardo replied his tone becoming dismissive when it came to the subject of diviners and fortune-tellers
"Oh yeah, I forget that you don't like those crystal-ball types." Tatiana said
"Yeah…Those people are just good-for-nothing charlatans and swindlers, that'll say some phony mumbo-jumbo so they can cheat you out of galleons by the truck load." Leonardo replied
The Ultimatrix wielder looked down on those who use divination as basically hacks and cheats, since to him they were nothing but fakes and people who used parlor tricks to swindle people out of their money. Therefore, Leonardo saw them as the worst kind of mage since they were nothing more than fraudulent quacks; who didn't know shit upon shit about anything.
"I swear if any one of those quacks tried anything on me. They'd get a hole in their head for their trouble." Leonardo added venomously
"Can't say I blame ya." Tatiana said as she poured herself more liquor
"Anyways, since you can't get that piece of Voldemort out of your noggin'. What are you gonna do going forward?" Tatiana questioned
"Do what I've been doing. Keep helping Wladimir with making new weapons for you guys, and help get us space-ready. We gotta be if we're gonna make sure those overgrown toads don't come knocking on our door next." Leonardo told her
"I don't think I'll get used to the fact that aliens exist...That's saying something, when we fight against witches, wizards, dragons and whatever other kind of fuckery is out there." Tatiana said, downing half her tequila in a single gulp
"You are fine with werewolves, wizards and dragons being a thing. Yet you draw the line at aliens?" Leonardo said with a somewhat bemused look on his face
"Hey, cut me some slack. It was enough of a headache getting used to this supernatural crap; when I had to go through that time of the month. Now I have to deal with aliens being real…I swear there isn't enough liquor in the world to help me deal." Tatiana replied
"Fair point, Tatiana. I'm still getting used to it myself." Leonardo said back taking a sharp gulp of Dr. Pepper
"Still, I can't believe we're gonna be heading out to space in a few months ...Who would've thought we'd go from being monster-hunting mercenaries. To being on some Star Wars bullshit." Tatiana said, in disbelief of what would happen in a few months
"This is gonna be better than Star Wars. Because unlike them, we won't be dealing with light side dark side bullshit. I swear that stuff is irritating in the movies…Give me something that shows the bounty hunters doing some kickass shit, instead of it always being the same lightsaber back and forths with the Jedi." Leonardo replied in having grown tired of seeing the same Jedi vs Sith nonsense that happened in the movies
"I couldn't agree with you more, boss. I just hope that one of these days we'll get a show where we get to see a Mandolorian kick ass…Now that'll be something else." Tatiana said back in hopes of such a thing happening
"I'm sure it will. If we can build spaceships and take on dragons. Then I'm sure something like that'll happen down the line." Leonardo said while taking a big gulp of soda
"Speaking of spaceships, we're gonna finally be doing testing this coming Thursday. You think you can handle test-driving one of them?" Leonardo asked the former lycan
"Sure why the hell not. I mean, I'm already one of our best pilots, so doing shit like this shouldn't be a big deal for me." Tatiana replied fully on board
"Great to hear…Also, good luck with handling the thing. Because, it'll be really interesting to see how these new ships handle, versus our regular airships." Leonardo said back
"I'm sure I'll handle it just fine. It doesn't matter if it's an airship, spaceship, or a goddamn tank. If it has a steering wheel and controls, then I can drive that sucker no problem." Tatiana told the Ultimatrix wielder in full confidence of her abilities
"I'll hold you to that, 'cause the moment you and the others get into your first intergalactic firefight. You're gonna need all the luck and help you can get." Leonardo replied taking a swig of his soda
"Relax, boss. I'm sure I'll be fine when we go up in space. Those fuckers haven't seen what we can do in scrap." Tatiana said with a sharp-toothed grin of confidence
"Now that I won't argue with. The Hellhounds are something the galaxy ain't ready for." Leonardo replied with a proud smile of his ever-growing army
"To the Hellhounds being a fucking menace to the world?" Tatiana asked as she was poured another round of tequila
"No…To the Hellhounds being a fucking menace to the galaxy." Leonardo answered back with a grin that was shared by his 2nd in command
"Alright, boss. Now that's the kind of thing I can drink too. I swear we're gonna be running the whole damn galaxy one day." Tatiana spoke as she and her leader chugged their respective drinks
'Now the real question is, how're we gonna do branding once we start making waves on a galactic scale?' Leonardo wondered to himself as he and Tatiana continued to spend the day drinking with one another
(3 days later, Glendale, Arizona, April 6th, 2015, 4:20 Pm)
It was the following Tuesday later as Wladimir and Leonardo who had turned into Tech-Goblin had finished working on more of the starships that would be used to take the fight to the Incurseans invading the Anur System.
"That takes care of the thrusters, Wladimir" Tech-Goblin spoke up as he popped out of the rear of one of the starships they'd been working on
"Excellent. Now, all we have to do is finish working on the warp drives, and we should be ready to take off." Wladimir replied as Tech-Goblin hopped down from the ship in questions' engines
"I, still can't believe we're super close to going into space." Tech-Goblin said before turning back into his human form
"I never would've thought in a million years, that I'd be going off into space to fight aliens…I swear this feels like a dream." Leonardo added as he looked at the small fleet of ships around them
"I must admit, it will be rather nice to see the stars again…No offense, Leonardo, but being waylaid here has made me rather homesick." Wladimir replied with longing in his voice
"Well, it won't be too much longer before we get you home and fuck up these Incursean guys. Plus it's thanks to you that we got some new contacts here on the planet." Leonardo said back with a wicked grin
"I must admit that I was surprised to find aliens on this planet. Then again, stranger things have happened." Wladimir spoke
"Hey, I'm just happy that we have a whole new group of people I can offer my services to." Leonardo replied as one could almost see the dollar signs in his eyes
"Considering the many threats present in your world. Moreso, with those bothersome knights." Wladimir said in disgust since finding out about the Forever Knights
"Luckily, we're not only gonna provide protection. But once that Incursean problem is taken care of, those Forever Knight dickheads are next…People like them are bad for business, after all." Leonardo replied
The Ultimatrix wielder had decided that after the Incurseans were dealt with that he was going to set his sights on these Forever Knights, considering that they were putting a damper on all of the potential alien clientele he could be doing business with. Therefore, he made it clear to his Hellhounds that once they had helped the people of the Anur System repel the threat they were faced with; that other than their regular missions, they were to focus on eradicating the Forever Knights down to the last man.
"While I'm glad that you have you will take care of those bothersome knights…I do have to ask how your going to handle the Incurseans?" Wladimir asked
"Oh…I have a simple solution for them." Leonardo answered back
"What do you have in mind?" Wladimir questioned
"Simple. Once we drive them off your planet, and any of the planets their currently invading. I'm going to personally storm their home planet, and get them to cut this out. Because the only way this ends is if I take it to them." Leonardo told the Transylian of his plan
"I must say, that is a rather bold move. Not many would dare to mount a frontal assault on the Incursean homeworld. Especially by themselves, no less." Wladimir said as he looked down at the raven-haired teen
"Well none of them had something that could turn them into a bunch of kickass aliens." Leonardo replied with a cocksure grin, while gesturing to his Ultimatrix
"That's right you have the Ultimatrix at your disposal…I still can't believe that a teenager of all things, manages to wield one of the most powerful pieces of technology in the galaxy." Wladimir noted at the sight of the Ultimatrix
"Hey, I'm just making the best out of something amazing. Not my fault, it happened to stick with me." Leonardo spoke
"Still, are you sure that your assault on the Incursean home planet will work? Even with the Ultimatrix at your disposal, what your attempting is extremely dangerous." Wladimir questioned in knowing that this was a rather dangerous move
"I know its going to work. Because, I'm gonna make sure that this goes off without a hitch and then some." Leonardo said to the large alien before him
" 'Cause here's the thing Wladimir. They won't see what I do to them when I go for their boss. I mean you said it yourself, that these guys are out on their conquering shizz. That they're fronting themselves as basically gangsters who think they can own everything….That is why, my plan will work. Because who would expect someone like me to come to their backyard and take their boss out in one fell swoop?" Leonardo added with a broad grin on his face
"You make a rather good point. Hardly any of them would expect a move like that…Still, I have my concerns about this plan of yours. One wrong move and they've captured a wielder of one of the Ultimatrix, something that spells doom for everyone in a dozen systems." Wladimir replied still concerned about the large risks of the plan
"Hey, it's either I do this or the alternatives. One which just lets them spread like wildfire till they reach my home. Which is definitely not gonna happen on my watch. The other is to basically declare war on 'em. Something that also can't happen, since we're barely a company's worth of mercenaries. Meanwhile, they have who knows how many armada's worth of starships, soldiers, and whatever else they could throw at us…So basically this is the best option at stopping them as quickly as possible." Leonardo said back, in the unwavering resolve of his plan
"Unless you have any better ideas?" Leonardo asked looking up at the violet-eyed alien
"I'm a weapons-trader and starship pilot, not a general of an army. So there is little I can offer in terms of tactical alternatives." Wladimir answered back
"Then this is what we gotta go with. I mean unless you want to deal with going to all-out war against these guys?" Leonardo questioned
'I'll take his silence as a no then.' Leonardo remarked to himself at the absence of a response from the Transylian
"...Even if you do succeed in going to the Incursean homeworld, taking down their leader, and managing to have them stop their conquests…Or at the very least put it into remission. What is your next move after that?" Wladimir asked
"Well, other than expanding the Hellhounds onto a greater galactic stage. Since, it wouldn't hurt to expand our role into doing things from smuggling, bounty-hunting, body-guarding, and mercenary work. That the only other thing I want to do after I help with this Incursean problem is to see the creator of the Ultimatrix." Leonardo answered back on what he intended to do going forward
"While I can respect your want to expand beyond this planet. Why do you wish to see the creator of Ultimatrix?" Wladimir inquired
"That's pretty easy to answer….From the moment I got this thing, I've been wanting to know about the guy who made this. I want to know why he made it, what the heck else this thing can do, and more importantly what he's all about." Leonardo explained looking down at the crimson-colored gauntlet on his arm
The shape-shifting mercenary had been rather curious about the Ultimatrix's creator for years, having always wondered why something of this magnitude was created and moreover what would have someone create one of the deadliest weapons in the galaxy.
"Then I wish you the best in that regard. The creator of the Ultimatrix isn't someone to waste time with, or talk down too…There is a reason why he is regarded as one of the 10 most intelligent beings in the galaxy, if not the universe." Wladimir told him in regards to Azmuth
"I'm pretty sure that when I meet him, he'll be pretty interested to see me…I mean, at the rate I'm going, Wladimir. The Hellhounds and I are gonna be the greatest thing this side of the galaxy." Leonardo replied with a self-assured smile
"While I'm sure that he will be very interested in seeing you. Let's not get ahead of ourselves. Focus on stopping the Incurseans first, then after that has been dealt with. Then I would advise focusing on promoting your team as one of the greatest in the galaxy." Wladimir advised the teenage shapeshifter
"Fair point. Anyways, I'm gonna head out and grab something to eat. You want anything?" Leonardo asked as he tapped his Ultimatrix and soon transformed into Speed-Demon
"I will be fine. Besides, I have to get started on reverse engineering my warp-core. If we're going to reach my home by our deadline, then I need to get to work quickly." Wladimir replied
"Alright. In that case, my drones are at the ready. All you have to do is give them the command to do what you need, then you should be good to go." Speed-Demon told the Transylian before his visor shifted down
"Anyways, I'm gonna go. Good luck with everything." Speed-Demon said before zooming off faster than Wladimir could blink
'That child is going to go places… If his exploits don't impress Azmuth, I don't know what will..' Wladimir said to himself before going to work on more warp cores
(2 weeks later, Phoenix, Arizona, April 20th, 2015, 4:20 Pm)
It was 2 weeks later, after working on more heavy-duty armaments to fight against both monsters and the Forever Knight, with the teenage shapeshifter watching Danny Phantom while munching on some brownies.
"Why the hell does this Danny guy just let his ass get kicked?!… He literally has the power to run that school." Leonardo wondered as he saw the half-ghost get shoved in a locker
"I mean just what the fuck…If I was him, then there wouldn't be a living soul that would even think to mess with me. I'd show all of them who's king shit." Leonardo said whilst munching on his 4th brownie
The Ultimatrix wielder continued to watch a few more episodes of said cartoon, and was soon about to watch the episode called Fanning the Flames…or at least he was until he found himself getting a Skype call from none other than Audrath. With Leonardo putting the show on pause to answer the elf who had come in handy in helping keep the missions that not only himself would go on, but also the Hellhounds as well; on top of managing their funds and the more legal side of things.
"Hey, Audrath, how's it hanging?" Leonardo asked the sun elf
"Pretty good. After you did that job for the Brazilians a week ago, on top of the Hellhounds killing it in Germany and in the states. We're sitting pretty." Audrath said with a grin
"Well, someone had to do it. Let's be real Audrath, no one wants to deal with a Mayan death god coming back…or whatever it is they were gonna summon back." Leonardo replied
"I will never get why people want to summon things from other planes of existence..That's basically asking for Cthulhu jr to obliterate you. Honestly, do these idiots have any common sense when they do this, or are they just born idiots?" Audrath wondered to himself
"You're asking the wrong person. All I know is those dark wizards are idiots most of the time… They think they're tough stuff; because they can wave their wands and do a fancy light show. Yet all it takes for me is to fire off a few shots to the chest, and they're dead as a doornail." Leonardo responded with a dark grin
"It's almost kind of funny to see their faces when you pop 'em with a round to the face faster than they can say Protego….All those wand-wielding dipshits think their something special; until they realize they aren't bullet or laser-proof for that matter." Leonardo chuckled to himself at how easy it was to lay waste to wizards and witches alike over the years
"You would think that after almost 4 years of you doing this. That everyone and their mother would realize that it isn't a good idea to do anything stupid. I mean just look at you..you are one of the most terrifying people on this planet!" Audrath replied
"Oh come on, Audrath. I am not that scary. Just look at me, I look like the world's deadliest hobo." Leonardo said back in concerns to his disheveled appearance and messy jet-black hair
"Not only, are you a walking arsenal of weapons that can blast people into bloody chunks. You can also turn into a legion of aliens from what I've seen that can tear apart nearly anything…If that isn't enough, you can turn into even stronger versions of them. So yes, Leon, you are in my opinion one of the most terrifying people on the planet." Audrath spoke with bits of genuine fear present in his voice
"I mean your not wrong, Audrath. If I really wanted to, the Hellhounds and I could probably run this shit in a year or two." Leonardo said with a shrug of his shoulders
"If you don't mind me asking, why don't you? Considering your work ethic, you always want more funds to do what you want, and your ability to get people on your side. On top of you having more power than most people triple your age. Why don't you go for it?" Audrath asked the green-eyed shapeshifter
"Because it wouldn't be any fun…If anything ruling the world, and crap like that is super overrated." Leonardo told the sun-elf
"I mean here's the thing, Audrath. I'm the type of guy that likes to experiment with stuff, build kickass gadgets and weapons, go on dope adventures, and see what I can do with my aliens. Ruling the world or anything for that matter doesn't let me do that. Having to rule over stuff, means I have to put up with over a billion people's worth of problems, political red-tape, and nonsense. Then the kicker to all of that having to worry about making sure every little thing runs smoothly, so my planet ain't fucked….More or less, its too much work for an incredibly low reward compared to what I do now." Leonardo explained in the heavily condensed version of his reasoning
"You make a damn good point. Everyone makes it seem like it would be a hell of a time…Honestly, never saw what's so great about ruling over a bunch of petty idiots." Audrath spoke in agreement
"Nice to know that you agree with me, Audrath." Leonardo said with a slight yawn
"By the way. Why'd you call me? Is it about another job, do we have a problem with our people in France? Or anything else, I need to know about that's gone tits up?" Leonardo questioned
"Everything is fine as far as I'm aware of…I just wanted to check up on you. With you being busy with the jobs you take, building your gadgets, training with your aliens, overseeing the Hellhounds, and now dealing with aliens and this Forever Knight business. I figured it wouldn't hurt to see how you're doing." Audrath answered back
Between all of the projects that the almost 16-year-old had his hands in, Audrath figured that keeping in contact and making sure he was functioning decently was a must…While he knew that Leonardo was a workhorse and had a damn near endless amount of willpower and drive, he also knew that he was still one person nee a teenager at the end of it; who no doubt was slaving like a madman on a constant basis.
"Oh, I'm totally fine. Just taking a bit of a break, and then I'm gonna work on some stuff. I gotta be ready by this Saturday or Sunday; if I want to pay the Forever Knights a beating." Leonardo told the sun-elf
"Good luck, Leon. The last thing I need; is you dying by a bunch of jackasses who pretend to be toy crusaders." Audrath said as a sinister grin spread across the Ultimatrix wielder's face
"Don't worry, Audrath, if anything they're the ones that are gonna need good luck." Leonardo replied with a malefic-sounding chuckle
'Especially, since I get to field test out one of my new aliens on 'em. Hopefully, I can work on that energy-sensing ability while I'm there.' Leonardo said to himself
"Since you got that look on your face, I'll take your word for it." Audrath responded as he saw Leonardo's face morph into one that desired to butcher for the hell of it
"I'll tell you how it goes when I get back. Right now, I gotta get to work. Because my breaks' over, and I gotta gear up." Leonardo told the sun-elf as he continued to let loose more sinister chuckles to himself
"...Just try not to do anything stupid. The last thing we need is you coming back without a limb, because you were trigger happy." Audrath said with a semi-exhausted sigh
"I'll be fine, Audrath. I mean I have gotten this far with all my limbs intact, so I think I'll be fine after I 'go out' for a weekend." Leonardo replied
"I'm going to hang up before I get a headache." Audrath said back knowing not to bother Leonardo when he got like this
'Now then, time to work on my new rocket launcher. I can't do this without making a bang!' Leonardo said to himself once Audrath hung up
(3 days later, April 23rd, 2015, 9:03 Pm, Rosario, Argentina)
It was the following Sunday as Leonardo was at the Forever Knights base he'd tracked down, as he began to pull out his rocket launcher from his satchel; whilst he started to put on Worship Music by Anthrax to start the assault on the base.
'Whoever said that metal doesn't make things better, clearly hasn't listened to Anthrax.' Leonardo said to himself as Earth on Hell was finishing up
With it being by the time The Devil You Know began to play he pulled the trigger on his rocket launcher, and from it came forth a trio of rockets the size of a grown man's arm from bicep to fingertip. From the moment the rockets impacted the castle in question, a raucous explosion erupted into the April night; sending debris, blown-off body parts, and eviscerated corpses flying through the grounds of the area.
The Ultimatrix wielder continued to fire another 3 volleys of rockets as more Forever Knights came out of the castle armed with various weapons that ranged from laser lances, to heavy-duty laser crossbows, energy-broadswords, and heater shields, to see what was going on. With Leonardo after seeing the Forever Knights gathering after killing a substantial amount of their men; he then put his rocket launcher back into his satchel and with his newest alien already selected beforehand, transformed into it in a flash of bloody crimson.
The battalion's worth of armed Knights were all at the ready for whatever had blown a large hole in their stronghold…minute after chillingly long minute had passed for the armored knights who scanned the area from their sundered stronghold looking for the culprit. With it not being until one of them atop of the still intact castle ramparts noticed a reddish-golden light quickly descending down towards the courtyard; with the speed of a Hungarian Horntail on bath salts.
Once it crashed down with enough force to kick up a large dust cloud that almost knocked said knights to their feet, as they aimed their weapons at the entity within the dust cloud of smoke and debris…Yet the one thing they were unprepared for was the shout of Masenko from within and a beam of golden energy with ruby discharges was fired from it, causing a sizable handful of Forever Knights to be blown to bits on impact.
"Show yourself devil, you will pay for your attack against the Forever Knights!" A Forever Knight commanded
"Well, if you insist." Leonardo's voice echoed as he dispelled the dust cloud in a burst of reddish-gold energy
"What in the hell are you doing attacking our stronghold, you abomination?!" A Forever Knight demanded from the Ultimatrix wielder
"How about, because I can. Also, because you guys are alien-hating dickheads…Which means, I'm here to give you guys a good ol' fashion vibe-check." Leonardo said as he was still looking himself over from within the smoke
'Also, I really look like someone's Dragonball OC right now…Still pretty dope lookin' if I say so myself.' Leonardo remarked as he was still doing a once over from within the cloud of thick smoke and debris
"Regardless of what your intent was here. On behalf of Lord Enoch, you will be coming with us in chains, and punished for your crimes! Failure to do so and we will…" another Forever Knight spoke before a shockwave of fiery red and gold dispelled the smoke cloud with great force
"How about I just blow you all away, and kick the shit out of this Connor guy…I mean as the Great Saiyaman, someone should get started on sending you pretend knights to hell." Leonardo or rather the now named Saiyaman
Leonardo's new alien form stood at 6 foot 5 and was built like Yoel Romero's evil twin with him having large ruby-colored eyes, thick, large blocky black hair that went to his upper stomach that was paired with a thick jet black beard, and reddish-yellow skin, while behind him was a heavy-looking black monkey's tail. In terms of attire he wore what looked like a cross between a black and white version of Vegito's DBZ outfit, combined with a ruby and black version of Vegeta's battle armor and boots during the Android Saga, with the Ultimatrix across his waist similar to a belt buckle.
Before any of the Forever Knights could even raise their weapons to fire at the armored alien in question, he quickly rushed forward with a speed that was impossible for a normal human to track; before reappearing and punching a Forever Knight so hard in the chest that his midsection exploded in a rain of metallic shrapnel and gore. From there he proceeded to blitz his way through the forces that came to meet him as a fiery red and gold covered blur of malefic joy who was ecstatic in the thrill that came with dominating his armored opposition.
Saiyaman was quick to lay waste to Forever Knight forces who found it pretty difficult to hit the alien in question, due to a combination of him dashing and flying around at great speeds; or blasting them with powerful attacks that would annihilate them by the handful. Especially evident when after he landed a reverse roundhouse kicked a Forever Knight's head off; that he took out several of them with a Special Beam Cannon that pierced through them like a Bowie knife through soggy tissue paper.
The armored soldiers in question quickly found themselves being picked off by the dozens, as Saiyaman was thanks to both not only his great speed and immense physical strength able to tear through their forces. It was also thanks to the energy-based attacks that he used to decimate them and turn the legion of armored warriors guarding their stronghold, to a coffin of sundered stone where the bodies of eviscerated corpses crushed from his blows or the piles of ash from his attacks lie on the ground.
With Saiyaman soon striding in after having turned the outside of the stronghold into a veritable bloodbath and was met with more Forever Knights who were attempting to drive him back, but to no avail as he was able to overwhelm them through sheer physicality. Yet as he was continuing to crush the forces of the Forever Knights, he was able to sense a rather large energy signature in the depths of the castle; which caught his interest.
"I wonder what the hell they're keeping in this place." Saiyaman wondered as he used his tail to snap a Forever Knight's neck
'Guess there's only one way to find out.' Saiyaman noted to himself as he started to power up
"Everyone, run for cover!" A Forever Knight shouted as Saiyaman began to glow harshly
Every able-bodied Forever Knight dashed as quickly as they could while Saiyaman quickly unleashed an explosive wave of pure power that detonated with such force that anyone caught had their armor sundered and their bones shattered like glass. The walls of the stronghold buckled and nearing collapse from the explosion of crimson and gold, yet once the smoke cleared as the Forever Knights came to collect their wounded from the explosion was there a hole at the bottom of the floor where a fiery red light was traveling into the depths below.
Saiyaman on the other hand, used an energy shield he formed during the explosive wave, as a battering ram while he traveled towards the source of the energy signature that he felt at the depths of the castle. After a minute and a half of him traveling to the castle depths, he eventually reached the source of the energy signature after what felt like hours of diving into the castle depths to discover a massive golden-scaled and azure-eyed dragon that was being held within a large cage.
"...Of all things, a dragon in a cage...Not my first time seeing one, but definitely one that's held up in a castle." Saiyaman remarked to himself as he stared up at the beast
"What in the blazes is a Saiyan doing here? You're a far ways away from Vegeta." The dragon spoke to the Ultimatrix wielder
'Huh, so that's what I am…Neat, I wonder if I can go Super Saiyan?... Also thank you sweet merciful God for this thing having a universal translator built in.' Saiyaman said to himself as he used his inhuman strength to tear the cage of the dragon to shreds
"That's not really important. What matters is that we get you out of here…You got a ride we can hitch, to get out of here and quick?" Saiyaman asked as he was quick at work to tear down the binds that held the dragon
"No, those bastards destroyed my ship. They didn't want me getting out of here when they caught me…So I've been rotting in this place for who knows how many centuries." The dragon replied angrily at the fact their ship was no doubt in pieces
"If you want, I can free you and we can get revenge on 'em for keeping you imprisoned. Heck we could make a whole mini field trip and obliterate their bases on our way back to my home…That is if your up for it?" Saiyaman suggested as he was busy tearing away at the last of the dragons' binds
"After being used as a test dummy for their latest inventions to slay me. I am more than eager to take you up on your offer." The dragon spoke as the Ultimatrix wielder who snapped the last of its chains
"Great to hear. Now, how about we make our exit, and pay them back with interest." Saiyaman said as he motioned for the dragon to follow him
The almost 4 and a-half-story tall alien speedily leat out of its prison to join the Ultimatrix wielder, as together with a combination of a full-force fire breath and Saiyaman unleashing a Masenko; the two attacks combined together to form a fiery pillar of golden light that eviscerated everything in sight. The sundered castle soon had what looked like a gaping maw in the center of it, as the duo's combined attack reached into the starry night that shone like a heavenly beacon of light.
From there the two within mere minutes eviscerated the rest of the Forever Knights forces that were stationed there, between the dragons' immense strength and fire breathing abilities; combined with Saiyaman's inhuman speed and energy attacks. It was ultimately child's play for them to annihilate them all in their entirety, as they made damned sure that not a single soul would escape the massacre of this night, as they reduced all in sight into nothing more than a smoldering crater full of charred and eviscerated corpses.
After their work was done, the terrific duo set about to track down more of the Forever Knight strongholds across Argentina and all the way towards the Ultimatrix wielders' base of operations in Glendale. With Saiyaman and the dragon on their flight towards the next stronghold decided to make an 'extended week of fun' out of it, all the while the Ultimatrix wielder was elated at the circumstances of this night.
'I can't believe I'm gonna go on a rampage with a dragon…Man, my life is awesome!' Saiyaman remarked as he flew on the back of the dragon towards their next destination
So with Leonardo readying his forces for their first outer-space adventure, and his having tested out a new alien form against the Forever Knights and gained a possible dragon in the process. The real question remains in how will Leonardo and the Hellhounds fare in their first intergalactic adventure? Find out in the all new chapter of, Leonardo Voorhees: Alien Chronicles!
Alright, I hoped you guys liked this chapter and everything it entailed as we start to head into space with our heroes; which I think will be pretty dope to cover. On top of Leonardo having his first official encounter with the Forever Knights.
That being said I hope y'all enjoy this story and what's to come, as well as favoriting, following and sending reviews so that we can hopefully make this a pretty decent story. With flames for the most part will be ignored unless you got anything nice to say or that helps the story then go somewhere else.
Without further adieu this is Pravus666 signing off until next time, as the next chapter is gonna be getting into our heroes helping out against the Incurseans. So stay tuned for all of that good shit.

Now then onto some of the reviews from the last chapter.
Stratos263 (Chapters 2-3) Well, as you can see so far the Hellhounds are doing pretty well, and also in regards to Remus. His wanting that cure for his lycanthropy is gonna have some consequences on the Order of the Phoenix down the line.
Obsidian Nova Arc: In regards to D.N.A meddling, that's a tricky thing to approach considering that if you get it right you can get someone who can be on some Alex Mercer from Prototype, or Captain America type shizz. However, if you get it wrong then that hopeful in question you did it too, is gonna come out looking like a half-baked Resident Evil monster. So if that does happen its something that has a massive chance for failure, and would have to be put on the backburner, considering one slight error and your men are getting turned into Cronenberg-styled abominations.
