A/N: I must admit this took awhile. But the news that Evolution Worlds was coming to the Gamecube got me searching the whole net looking for info. Please enjoy.
Disclaimer: If I owned Evolution, aside from being rich, this would be a video game, not a fanfic.

"Must...not...give...up...Must...not...quit...Must...not...listen...to...Chain."
It had been an hour since the three teams had entered the dungeon.
Mag's team had gotten to floor 48 of 50.
It had been alot different than the TOD back in Museville, and now they were moving through a maze that always tilted uphill.
Chain was making it worse.
"To bad YOUR Cyframe can't hover above the ground in these instances, huh, Mag?"
In order to prevent himself from Magna Raving the girl floating a few feet away, he asked " How are you holding up Linear?"
To his surprise, and frustration, Linear was also floating, using the power of Evolutia.
[Why is it that I'm the only one on this team who can't fly?]
"I don't know."
Mag looked back in surprise at Linear, who seemed normal as ever.
There was a moment of quiet.Then...
"Really? It's called mind reading? How interesting!"
Both of the spiky haired adventurers looked in amazement.
"Well now I know how she always knows the right thing to say."Mag replied.
"Why do I even talk to her?"Chain asked to no one in particular.
It was lucky they had gotten this far, a short cut had appeared on the 25th floor immediately
after they got there.
"Whoever made these ruins didn't have much imagination. A three year old could solve this!"Chain had bragged.
After another 15 minutes of: Mag trudging, Chain trying not to think of anything private, and Linear trying to block out the nasty words going on about Chain in Mag's head: they found the door to the 49th floor.
As it usually happens in these instances, the area changed style.
Looking around in amazement at all of the machines that seemed to be in the room, Mag heard something.
"About time you guys got here, we've been waiting long enough."
Mag's team turned around in surprise to see the other two teams already there.
"You guys beat us here?"
"About 45 minutes faster, too." Asroc said.
Carcano's group looked in amazement.
"It was easy enough, we found the path with the most bosses. When we beat them, we went up a floor."
"There were bosses on the way up here?" Mag asked in surprise.
We got up here by drilling through the ceiling."Pepper said in disgust, pointing toward Carcano.
As Mag fumed at the fact he had picked the longest path, Linear said"Hey! Come look at this!"
All three teams moved to where Linear was standing and saw she was at some kind of control panel.
"It says here that this control panel activates other ruins."Linear stated."It also reads"only a barer of evolutionary light can pass through here unscathed""
"Another puzzle!? When will it end?"Mag said desperately.
"It's simple."Linear said" the shortcut we found must have activated because of me, leading us away from any bosses."
"Well, let's activate the other ruins, go up to the last floor, get the treasure and go home!" Chain said.
"It needs a key card to activate. I think we can find it on the last floor."
"Well then let's go!"Asroc said happily. The thought of new ruins was set in his mind.
The three teams went up the stairs and imediately wished they hadn't.
They were on the roof, and in front of them was a large, dragon-like creature.
"Well, I'm sure glad we came up here together."Cahin shakily said,"At least we all get to burn
together."
"EXACTLY"
The adventurers recoiled in shock.
"MY NAME IS DRACON," the large monster said,"I AM THE GUARDIAN OF THESE RUINS.
YOU MORTALS ARE TRESSPASING WERE YOU DON'T BELONG. NOT EVEN THE LIGHT OF HEALING IS PERMITTED HERE."
The group instantly knew he was talking about Linear.
"LEAVE NOW, AND I MAY SPARE YOU. THE ONLY ONE PERMITTED HERE IS THE LIGHT OF DESTRUCTION."
"Please Mr. Dracon," Linear said stepping forward," Yurka died a few days ago. We-"
"THE EVOLUTIA OF DESTRUCTION IS GONE? IMPOSSIBLE. THE ONLY THING THAT COULD ENSURE HIS DEATH WOULD BE IF THE ULTICANNON'S POWER FELL OUT OF BAL.."
Dracon looked at the adventurers, all but Asroc and Meg with sorry looks on their faces, and guilt on their minds.
"YOU!"He yelled at Linear, pushing them all back."YOU BATRAYED YOUR COUNTER-PART BY LEAVING THE ULTICANNON WHILE IT WAS ACTIVATED! BECAUSE OF YOU, HIS LIFE WAS LIMITED TO THAT OF A NORMAL GUARDIAN! A TRAITOR LIKE YOU CANNOT GO UNPUNISHED, PREPARE FOR BATTLE!
All three teams readied themselves. This wasn't gonna be easy.

A/N:Okay, I borrowed from a few other RPGs for this chapter.
Alpha: I see a large scale copyright lawsuit coming our way.
UU: Be prepared for a chapter-long battle and aftermath. Will our heroes prevail?
Alpha: Duh. You can't have Evolution Worlds if any of the charecters are dead.
UU: May the Gamecube bring new light to the series, and hopefully the rebirth of Yurka.
Alpha: Read the next chapter or we'll make all upcoming ones even shorter!
