=====================---------------------------==================
The Sinkers were firing everything they had at the demon. Justin weaved in and out of the shells and missiles, firing small blasts at the enemy. Several Sinkers went down with each blast. Soon the Sinkers that were left began to retreat.
Justin: Hahahaha! Take that! Get lost you lousy Sinkers! And don't come back!.
Justin smiled and continued to laugh at the retreating Sinkers. He heard the blast coming and had just enough time to put his arms up and defend. The Death Stinger came into view and Justin lowered his arms. The wounds on his arms and head began to close as the Death Stinger fired its back mounted cannon again. Justin avoided the blast and fired a charged particle beam at the large scorpion-type zoid. The Death Stinger blocked the small beam with a claw and looked up at the Demon.
Hiltz: What are you?
Justin: I'm the Chaos Demon.
Hiltz: Well, well, well… then the rumors were true. The demon was awakened. Let's see how you do against the Death Stinger.
The Death Stinger raised its tail and began to charge the Charged Particle Cannon. Justin began charging a blast of his own. They both fired at the same time and the beams collided. Both beams fought to blast past one another but could not. Hiltz turned up the power on the charged particle cannon and began to win the fight. Just stopped his beam and absorbed the beam fired by the Death Stinger. There was a momentary gold glow before Justin sent another blast flying. It missed the Death Stinger but the explosion sent the evil zoid into the distance.
Justin: That was weird…
Justin turned to were the Ultrasaurus used to be and fired a small charged particle blast in the direction. A few moments later a HammerHead surfaced and Justin flew towards it.
**Later**
After a long trip on the HammerHead, Justin returned to the Ultrasaurus. Everyone in the room looked sad, worried, and angry. Rosso and Fiola weren't there.
Justin: What's going on?
Rachel: The Death Stinger's destroying everything…
Justin: What?
Herman: Did you successfully evade the enemy?
Justin: I dealt with the Sinkers easily. The Death Stinger showed up afterwards.
Shubaltz: Were you able to damage it?
Justin: No, but I sent it flying again. Do we have any idea where the Death Stinger is going to strike next?
Van: Yes. He's destroying everything along the path that we first took to the Imperial capital …we're going to head him off here at the Gureal Plateau *points to map*
Rachel: So, do we have a plan?
Thomas: Yes. A Delta Formation Blockade. Or in this case a Quadra Formation Blockade. All four of us will trap the Death Stinger with our shields while the Gravity Cannon is fired. Then we have to run for it.
Justin: And I …
Herman: Will make sure nothing goes wrong. Everyone got that?
Everyone: Right.
**Later**
Everyone was in position for the attack. The Ultrasaurus stood behind the Dibison, Lightning Siax, and Blade Liger. The War Shark had burrowed underground and Justin was floating high above it all.
The Death Stinger appeared and everyone froze. Suddenly the four zooids charged forward, avoiding fire from the Death Stinger. Justin Flew overhead and let charged particle blasts rain down on Hiltz's zoid. The Death Stinger was surrounded by the Guardian Force zooids and the activated the Quadra formation shield.
Shubaltz: FIRE!
Shubaltz fired the gravity cannon as The Death Stinger tried to break free of the shield. It succeeded and blew the Gravity cannon shell out of the sky with a charged particle blast. It then easily swatted the Guardian force away and began charging another blast. A few missiles from the War Shark stopped the Charged Particle Cannon from charging.
Van: Let's try the Quadra Formation one more time.
Irvine: But it didn't work the first time!
Van: It'll work if we use more power!
Rachel: He's right. With more power it should work.
Irvine: Alright, we'll try it again.
The Guardian force Zoids did just that. While the zoid got into position Justin kept the Death Stinger bust with small charged particle blasts. The shield was activated once again and this time the Death Stinger couldn't break free. The Gravity Cannon was fired and the zoids scrambled. Justin flew as high into the air as he could to avoid the blast.
Dr. D: Get out of there now! The Hyper Gravity Area is going to expand!
The Dibison, Blade Liger, and Lightning Siax were running away, the Death Stinger fired one last charged particle beam. The Dibison's legs were hit, and the zoid fell. Thomas was knocked unconscious and the deadly gravity cannon shockwave was approaching fast.
Van: Thomas! Wake up and get out of there!
Irvine: Wake up!
The Blade Liger turned to go back but suddenly the ground under the Dibison gave way and the zoid tumbled under ground.
Van: What happened?
Rachel: Don't worry, Thomas is safe. How's everyone else.
Irvine: We're all in one piece.
Justin: *from high above* Take a look at the Death Stinger! It's finished!
Everyone turned to seen that the shock wave had faded. A destroyed Death Stinger sat in the middle of the crater. It began to fossilize as it was exposed to the air.
Fiona: We did it!
Moonbay: Yeah!
Justin: I'm going to go see if Hiltz is still alive…
Herman: What? Hold it!
It was too late; Justin had already landed on top of the Death Stinger and was slowly walking towards the cockpit.
**Meanwhile, in the Cavern of the Dark Kaiser**
Raven, Specular, and Riece had arrived. They found an organoid capsule containing Shadow and opened it. Raven was happy to see that his friend was still alive but the feeling was not mutual. Shadow attacked Raven but Specular stepped in. Currently both Organoids were staring each other down.
???: Hahaha… Well look who's back.
Riece: The Dark Kaiser…
Raven: That voice…
A strange shadow fell from above. It seemed to be made of clay and rock. The Strange formation began to twist and turn until something remotely human emerged. IT formed a face and a gasp of surprise came from Raven.
Raven: Prozen.
Prozen: The one and only.
**Back at the Gureal Plateau**
Justin reached the cockpit of the now fossilized Death Stinger. Fiona and the Gustav had arrived to help pull the Dibison out of the hole it had fallen into. Justin was cutting through the Death Stinger's armor as the Gustav was making its way back to the Ultrasaurus with the Dibison on one of the Platforms behind it.
Fiona: *suddenly senses something* Something's coming…
Out of nowhere, a red light rocketed down from the sky, slammed Justin off the Death Stinger and then fused with the wreaked zoid's power core. It was Ambient. The Death Stinger Regenerated as Van and Irvine ran to their zoids. Zeeke fused with the Blade Liger as The War Shark rose out of the ground. Justin wiped blood off his face as the slashes caused by Ambient's tail blades closed.
Hiltz: The fight isn't over yet!
The Lightning Siax Charged forward to attack but the Death Stinger burrowed underground.
Irvine: Where'd he go?
Van: Rachel,
Rachel: On it!
The War Shark burrowed underground. The Death Stinger was slowly making its way towards the Ultrasaurus. The War Shark opened fire, knowing the Death Stinger couldn't fight back underground.
Hiltz's zoid took a hit but
kept moving. The War Shark sped up to catch the destructive zoid but it was too
late. The Death Stinger smashed through the ground under the Ultrasaurus,
causing the zoid to topple to its side.
The Death Stinger rose above
the ground and was followed by the War Shark. Rachel's zoid flew into the air
and its jaws clamped down on the Death Stinger's tail. Hiltz tried to shake
Rachel off but only succeeded in having the Death Stinger's tail bitten off.
Rachel: Ha! Now you can't use the Charged Particle Cannon anymore!
Hiltz: But I do still have Ambient.
The organoid growled and the Death Stinger's tail regenerated. It easily swatted away the War Shark and opened fired on everyone else. Justin flew forward and fired a blast. The Death Stinger's claws were demolished but Ambient just regenerated them. Hiltz then shot Justin right out of the air.
The Lightning Siax ran forward but was scooped up by one of the Death Stinger's claws. It raised the zoid to the charged particle cannon and began to charge the weapon.
Van: Irvine!
The Blade Liger flew forwards, blades out, and sliced right through the Death Stinger's claw and tail. The Lightning Siax hit the ground and ran as the Death Stinger was once again regenerated. The large zoid turned and scooped both the Blade Liger and Lightning Siax up. The War Shark flew from underground but was shot away. Justin flew high into the air and was about to release a charged particle blast when the Death Stinger used the Blade Liger as a shield. Justin powered down his beam and dodged shots from the Death Stinger.
No one noticed that the Gustav's cockpit was open and Thomas was awake. Fiona was behind the Gustav reading the Megalo Max. The Ancient Zoidian jumped out of the zoid and began to run back towards the Gustav's cockpit.
Thomas: Beeke, fire the MEGALO MAXX!
The beam Smashed into the Death Stinger. The scorpion-type zoid collapsed and did not regenerate. There were several explosions all around and Fiona was caught in one.
Van: FIONA!
The Blade Liger, Lightning Siax, and War Shark moved over to the Gustav. Justin walked over while his injuries repaired themselves. Van jumped out of his zoid and ran over to Fiona. The ancient zoidian was very badly injured. Suddenly the Death Stinger was engulfed in a glowing pink light. Everyone turned to see the large zoid begin to disappear. Fiona too was engulfed in a similar light. A bolt of electricity shot from the light and flung Van, who was holding Fiona, a few feet away. Irvine and Zeeke also tried to grab Fiona but were blasted away.
Rachel: Justin.
Justin reached forward and the light seemed to flee from him. He grabbed hold of Fiona's wrist as she began to disappear. The ancient zoidian disappeared completely and the Demon went with her.
Irvine: What just happened here?
**Dark Kaiser's Cavern**
Raven hit the ground and Shadow jumped in front of him. Prozen just laughed and fired another energy blast. Shadow fell down next to his partner and Specula charged at Prozen. Prozen sent the blue organoid flying into Riece.
Prozen: Now that I no longer have a use for you, I'll just get rid of you.
Behind Prozen a pink light formed. Fiona was dropped out of it and Justin was flung a few feet away.
Prozen: Well, Ms. Fiona has arrived.
Prozen walked/oozed over to Fiona and began to glow. Fiona got up off the ground but something wasn't right. Prozen had taken control of her mind.
Riece: What are you doing?
Prozen: I'm going to have Fiona here open the gate to the Zoid Eve. Then I will resurrect the Death Saurer and heal myself. Then the world is mine!
Fiona walked over to the Gates of Zoid Eve and Prozen followed. The Zoidian was about to open the door when Prozen's attention was diverted.
Justin: Get away from her!
Everyone turned to see the Chaos Demon standing a few feet away. He didn't look happy.
Prozen: And, who are you?
Justin: I said get away from her.
Prozen: Do you have any idea who you're talking to?
Justin: Look, you mutated freak, I don't care who or what you are. Get away from her and those gates or I'll have to hurt you.
Riece was a little surprised. Whoever this guy was, he was either extremely brave or extremely stupid. She was leaning towards stupid. At least the Guardian Force had zoids to back up their talk but this guy didn't even have an organoid with him.
Prozen: You obviously need to be taught a lesson; sadly you won't live long enough to use it.
With that Prozen fired another energy blast, he expected the blast to kill Justin, but was very shocked when the demon just knocked the blast away with his hand.
Justin: *smirk* That the best you can do?
Prozen scowled and had Fiona continue to open the Zoid Eve gates.
Prozen: Far from it, boy!
Justin: Then c'mon, impress me.
Justin flew forward and knocked Prozen as far away from Fiona and the Gates as possible. Prozen hit the cave wall but recovered quickly and fired several more energy blasts. Justin knocked them away then countered with a Charged Particle Blast.
Prozen: A Charged Particle
Beam!?
The beam hit Prozen and burnt a hole right through him. Prozen regenerated and looked back up at the Demon.
Justin: So you can regenerate. I'll just have to use a bigger blast.
Prozen: I think not. I now know what you are, Chaos Demon. And I know how to stop you.
Black lightning began to form in Prozen's human hand. He threw the blast at Justin. The demon attempted to smash the blast away but was electrocuted. He fell to the ground as Prozen walked/oozed back to Fiona and the Gates. The gates slowly creaked open and golden light began to pour into the dark cavern.
Riece, Raven, Shadow, and Specula got up off the ground and watched as the Zoid Eve came into view. Zoid Eve looked like a very large mechanical woman trapped in a block of stone. Prozen smiled evilly as he and Fiona walked down the long corridor to the Zoid Eve.
As they reached the control platform to the Zoid Eve, Fiona Broke free of Prozen's mind control. A large bolt of lightning slammed Prozen away as Fiona glared at him.
A portal back in the cavern opened and The Blade Liger jumped out. It began to run towards the Zoid Eve as the War Shark and a Storm Sworder fell out of the Portal. Just as Van was about to reach the gates, The Death Stinger rose out of the ground.
