I just hope I have a fanbase after last chapter...^_^'

"KAAAAAAAIN! You're dead meat!" Super Shadow said, as he,
Ryoko, and Super Sonic took turns attacking the superpowered monster.
With his increased speed and strength, Kain was able to deflect and
counter all their attacks. Even projectiles had no effect on him.

"You all are fools!" Kain said, as he swatted the three away.
just as he did, he was greeted by bazooka fire, courtesy of Mihoshi
and Kiyone.

"Alright! We got 'em!" Mihoshi said.

"Yeah, but he's still ticking!" Kiyone said. As the smoke
cleared, the two saw that she was right. All they had basically did was
crack the faceplate he wore.

"Like I said, fools!" Kain said, releasing a hail of Ki blasts.
The two scattered just in time. Just then, a ball of Juraian energy
slammed into him, roaring in pain as it did.

"Killing my sister was the biggest mistake one could ever do!"
Ayeka said, as she advanced towards Kain. "Now you shall pay with your
own life." Her tiara glowing and hands crackling with energy, she began
to create another ball of energy.

"Let's see you do that, princess." Kain said. She raised her
hands into a fireball-throwing position and prepared to launch it, but
was unable to as he punched her with all his might, sending her across
the lake, skipping as she went across, until a tree stopped her.

"Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow." Sonic said as she hit the water and into the
tree. "Alright, Kain. That was your last cheapshot!" Super Sonic
turned to face Kain and flew at him at top speed, his golden shield
turning blue as he ran into him. Kain just lurched back a bit.
"No way!"

"Way." Kain said, as he blasted Super Sonic from the
battlefield, THROUGH the house, and onto the steps to the shrine. Kain
was about to turn his attention to Achika, Tenchi and Washu when Metal
Sonic came out of nowhere and attacked him, hitting him with all his
might (and weaponry). With Kain distracted, Shadow went and retrieved
Ayeka from the other side of the lake.

[No one else dies today, but you!] Metal said as he attacked
Kain with emense fury.

"That's where you're wrong, machine." Kain said. With that, he
grabbed Metal and ripped him in half, tossing the halves aside.

"My turn, you monster!" Tenchi yelled as he ran the Tenchi-ken
blade through Kain's stomach. As the blade pierced his body, Kain
roared in pain. He, then, grabbed Tenchi and the sword.

"Nice try, boy." Kain said. He covered Tenchi with his own
body, then he tossed Tenchi-ken high into the air, hoping it would
never be a bother to him ever again. "Now, for your dear mother to see
her precious torn into pieces." As he advanced towards Achika, the
others attempted to stop Kain, only to be stopped as he held Tenchi
towards them as a sign to back off.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Up in the air, the hilt of Tenchi-ken spun round and round,
its destination unknown. A few seconds later, a gloved hand reached out
and caught the wooden weapon.

"Odd, never thought Tenchi would ditch his sword like that."
A young voice said which accompanied the gloved hand.

"We're not too late, young one." Said a gentler, feminine
voice. "We have time to save them."

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!" The first voice said.
The glove disappeared with the sword.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

"Thirty years. That's how long I've been plotting and schemeing
for the day I would get my revenge." Kain said as his body formed four
tendrills to wrap around Tenchi's limbs. "Your REAL mother may be dead,
but this one shall do very nicely."

"KAIN! STOP IT!" Ryoko shouted, knowing one wrong move could
spell death for the one she cared for. "You've....won. Let him go!"

"Won? No, my dear. I haven't won until the Juraian bloodline is
demolished!" Kain said, as he began to pull the poor boy apart. Tenchi
screamed as he felt his body ready to be torn in half. At the last
minute, four streaks sliced the tendrills from Tenchi. The shock caused
Kain to release Tenchi. Ryoko took that chance and pulled him to
safety. "WHO DARES?!" Kain loses his look of shock and sees four golden
birds hovering a small figure wearing a brown cloak. "Who are you?"

"That's for me to know and you to find out." He said. The
figure folded back his cloak revealing a golden-furred body wearing
red and white sneakers. He also had two very familiar tails.

"Tails....? Is that....you?" Sonic asked softly.

"Aw! You blew it!" the figure said, ditching the cloak to
reveil the now-gold fox. He, then tossed Tenchi his sword.

"He's Super Tails!" Shadow said in surprise.

"But, how...?" Kain asked. At that point, another person
appeared beside Tails.

"Tsunami!" the heros said at the same time.

"Does that mean Sasami's....?" Ayeka said before getting cut
off by a nod from Tsunami, making the princess smile. "Thank you."

"At last, I can finally have what I wanted." Kain said,
grinning. Once again, the void opened up, the vaccum trying to pull
not only Tsunami in, but everyone else, too.

"Super Shadow, there are a number of lifeforms inside him."
Tsunami said to him "You have the power to save them. The time is now."
Super Shadow nodded, powered up his shoe rockets and raced towards
Kain.

"SHADOW! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" Super Sonic shouted. Shadow
just grinned.

"CHAOS...." Shadow began to say. As he got to the void, he
knew the time was right to finish it. ".....CONTROL!" Once again, time
stopped for him. Entering the void, he found the source of power and
attacks: The five unforunant victims Kain went after. "Bingo." Bringing
the five, plus the Master Emerald, close, Shadow, then, teleported
them all out of Kain's body and back to the outside world just before
the time stop ended. "Got 'em!"

"Wha...what's going on? What's happening?" Kain said as his
body began to revert to his old self.

"You drop something?" Super Sonic said. At that point, the five
began to stir. The first one was Vegeta.

"Ooagh...what happened?" he asked "Last thing I remember
was..." He turned his head and saw the confused Kain standing there.
"YOU!" Vegeta wasted no time powering up and attacking the monster.
Kain quickly regained his composure and knocked Vegeta away.

"Ow, my head." Knuckles said as he began to stand up. He, then,
saw where he was and who was there. "Sonic? What's going on?"

"No time to explain. Just get ready to rumble!" Super Sonic
said. Knuckles nodded and made the Shovel Claws reappear. Pretty soon,
everyone was ready to take on Kain again.

"You think that this added firepower is enough to stop me?!"
Kain said. "You're WRONG!"

"Let's see you handle this!" Gohan said, going airborne. He
put his arms above his head and placed his right hand over his left and
began charging up an attack. "Masenko......HA!" With that, he launched
the attack at Kain, nailing him in the face. All that was done was
cracking more of his faceplate.

"Nice try, mortal." Kain said. Next to attack was Chaos, who
streched his arm towards Kain, his hand balled up into a fist. The
punch nailed the creature in the face. Chaos didn't waste anymore time
in his attack as he sent his other arm out after Kain, this time, it
was glowing in pure Chaos Energy. That really did some damage to Kain,
slashing him in the chest.

"Way to go!" Tikal said, smiling at her friend.

"Keep attacking him! Don't give him a chance to fight back!"
Washu shouted.

"I'll just end it here!" Vegeta said, powering up to Super
Sayian level and rushing to the monster. A well-placed punch sent Kain
spiraling into the trees, until Gohan, now in Super Saiyan mode,
appeared and kicked him high in the air. Kain stopped himself as he
got high enough, only to get smashed by the three Super Mobians. While
falling, Ryoko appeared over him and blasted him with numerous plasma
shots. When he landed, it was relavent that the combo attack was
working. He was weak, the faceplate was half gone, and he was furious.

"You think you've won, eh? THNIK AGAIN!" Kain shouted. All
of a sudden, something began to happen to Kain. The faceplate
disappeared, his fingers began bonding like before, he sprouted wings,
and his face began to take a shape almost like the symbiote Venom's.

"What the hell?" Vegeta muttered as he saw this new monstrosity
in front of them.

"Kain...he transformed...this is bad!" Knuckles said. Tikal
and Chaos nodded.

"He's still a pushover!" Super Shadow said. Kain grinned at
that remark. He raised his right hand.

"Who shall be the first to go?" Kain said. He moved his hand
to Gohan, then to Mihoshi, then Tikal, and launched it at her. As
Knuckles went to deflect it, it turned in a ninety degree angle and
headed straight for Achika. Tenchi and the Super hedgehogs attempted
to stop it, but it was too late. When Achika moved her body to see the
incoming attack, she allowed the claw-like hand to go through her chest
and out her back. "Buh-bye, offspring of the Jurai royal family." He
then retracted his hand back to its original position and looked at
his bloodied hand. "Heh. What a waste."

"NO! MOTHER!" Tenchi shouted, running to catch his mother.
"Mother, speak to me."

"I'm....sorry, my Tenchi." Achika said "It was....my fault."

"Mother, it'll be okay. Little Washu and Tsunami will heal
you...."Tenchi began to say until Super Tails saw something horrible
about her.

"But, can they repair clone degeneration?!" Super Tails said
in shock. He was right; she was disentergrating, and fast!

"Mother, please, don't leave me again!" Tenchi pleaded, tears
forming in his eyes.

"I'm sorry....it can't be helped." she said, very softly.
"I love you, Tenchi, with all my heart." With that, she closed her
eyes, gave out one last breath of air, and allowed her fate to pass.
In a matter of seconds, all that was left was her battle outfit.

"No...." Tenchi muttered as he began to cry.
"MOTHERRRRRRRRRRRRR!"

"I'm sorry, Tenchi." Super Sonic said, placing his left hand on
Tenchi's shoulder. "I should of gotten in front of the attack."

"Don't blame yourself, Sonic." Tenchi said, looking up at
towards Kain. "Kain will pay for what he did." He grabbed Tenchi-ken
and activated it. "You hear me, Kain. I WILL MAKE YOU PAAAAAAAAAAAAY!"

"Bring it on." Kain said. Tenchi charged towards the monster.
When he got to him, he began hacking and slashing at Kain, pieces of
the creature flying off as the blade connected. "RRRARGH! IMBECILE!"
He prepared to impale Tenchi with his right hand when, out of nowhere,
Knuckles and Ryoko began attacking Kain, swiping and slashing furiously
as they did.

"Kid! Get outta here! We'll handle him!" Knuckles said. Tenchi
shook his head.

"No way! He killed my mom. He's gonna pay for what he did!"
Tenchi said, resuming the attack. Kain became furious and swiped the
three away.

"I'm gonna kill all three of you HERE AND NOW!" Kain shouted.
He began breathing fire and had it circling the three. Using what
spare ki energy he had, he formed a ki ball and prepared to blast the
three. Before he could, something hit him from behind. Kain turned
and saw Chaos in his bulky, second mode; the mode Kain had taken on
before. "So, you want to fight, huh? YOUR FUNERAL!" With that, the
two titans began duking it out.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
TO BE CONCLUDED....
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Tails: This is it! The final showdown! After Chaos 2's fight with Kain,
Metal Sonic goes into action once again and tries to destroy the
monster through another dimension!
Metal Sonic: [I will take you down, once and for ALL!]
Tails: When that fails, will a mysterious person from that dimension
help save the day?
?????: You're gonna regret meeting me, blob!
Tails: Find out in "Victory and Defeat"! It's gonna be a blast!
