Final chapter: I Am After All, DarkMagician!

The gargantuan monster had come out of hiding, he looked as though he was olga flow with spider legs, but his arms...they had two long blades that weren't solid, there was a space between two blades of each sword, as though there was something that it was used for...

Rannu rushed forward, and slashed his gargantuan blade at the 4 remaining hunters, they jumped up landing on the blade. "Quick! Attack him!" Mini Bert yelled as he started slashing the blade they were on with the agito, they all nodded, Logan began to slash at it with his demolition comet, Kinami with the belaria saber, while Vahn shot at Rannu's head, "Pathetic." Rannu said as he tossed them off the large blade, which now had many cuts and indents. Rannu charged forward, slashing wildy with his blades, but hitting nothing, they all managed to avoid the attack, they all jumped on the blade again, and began slashing, Vahn was still power up and firing at Rannu's head, "When will you learn? You cannot harm me!" Rannu yelled as he threw them off the blade.

"Where is Maria?!" Kinami yelled at Rannu, Rannu looked over to the side where there was no light, he nodded, and a spotlight lit up where Maria was, laying on the ground, unconcious. "Maria!" Kinami yelled as he ran towards her, but Rannu had other plans...He swung one of his blades, knocking Kinami unconcious beside Maria. "Any other questions before I annihillate you?" Rannnu said smirkly. "Just one...Why did you kill Albert!" Mini Bert yelled, 'Killed him...I never killed him... I took him away from you with the intent of using his power to form my body...The body that you now see before you." Rannu explained, he then rose his sword, and a small yellow flame appeared, "This is Albert's spirit, which contains the might of one of the sages." Rannu continued, "You muderer! You took his spirit!" Logan yelled, "Calm down Logan, you will join your brother in the other world soon." Rannu said as he powered up and fired a beam from the gap between blades at Logan, sending him into a wall, knocking him unconcious, "You monster!" Vahn yelled as he shot at Rannu's head continuessly. "Hahaha, it's your turn Vahn..." Rannu said as he aimed at Vahn, powered up, and shot a beam at Vahn, sending him beside Logan, unconcious.

Mini Bert stood alone against a giant mutated monster that harbours the very spirit of the one he was seeking, Rannu looked at Mini bert, aimed his sword, and said "Any last words?" Mini bert stood there for a few seconds, "Yes...You may have Alberts spirit..but I will destroy you...you will not take my or my friends spirits!" Mini Bert said as he held the agito with both hands, and it began to let of the eerie mist, "Brave words...for a dead man!" Rannu yelled as he charged up, the eerie mist traveled over Mini Berts body, then Mini Bert charged forward, "This is for Albert!" Mini Bert yelled as he charged forward, Rannu shot directly at him..."Well there goes the last threat..." Rannu said, but when the smoke cleared, Mini Bert was still standing, and he hadn't moved, but the sword he was holding wasn't the agito, it was a shining silver blade, the blade was longer and wider, the hilt was much easier to grip, and there was a small orb between the hilt and blade. Mini Bert charged forward, "You will die Rannu! You will pay!" Rannu stood shocked, " The.. The..Vengeance blade....How did he.." Rannu said, "You will give me that sword!" Rannu yelled. "I think not, Rannu!", A voice boomed. "What? Is that...!" Mini Bert started. "Yes. It is I. DarkMagician!" he shouted. "It-it can't be! how did you return?!?" Rannu shouted. "I teleported just after you shot me, and re-appeared behind you." DarkMagician told him. "But DarkMagician...you do not know how to teleport...?" Mini Bert said. "Well...I am after all, DarkMagician! No-one knows me completely!" His eyes sparkled. Just then, Rannu stabbed at DarkMagician and missed. As DarkMagician blasted Rannu with Grants, Mini Bert ran up the blades, "This is for everyone!" Mini Bert yelled, "Go for it Mini Bert!" DarkMagician shouted, then Mini Bert jumped, "This...Is for vengeance!" Mini Bert slashed, and cut Rannu's head in half.

"GYYAAAAAAAH!" Rannu yelled as he fell to the ground, Mini Bert landed on his feet, holding the Vengeance Blade up to his chest. He turned, and saw Rannu's body turning into smoke, and DarkMagician absorbing some. "What ARE you doing!?!" Mini Bert shouted at him. "DarkMagician paused from the absorbtion, leaving 8 coloured flames, which turned into bodies, and flew off threw the roof, and in 8 different directions. "Hmph! *smirks* Later Mini Bert!" He turned to leave. "Wait! Why are you leaving!?" Mini Bert said exasperated. DarkMagician just said, "You do not need me any more. When you need me, You know where to look..." and left. Mini Bert was staring at where he left as everyone got up, except Maria.

"I guess those were the sages...I'll have to find them...and destroy them..."

They all returned to pioneer 2 through a telepipe, with Maria on Kinami's shoulders. "Mini Bert, how are you going to find the sages?" Logan asked. "I'll use the only lead I have..." Mini Bert said as he turned to Maria. "Her." "What about DarkMagician?" Logan asked. "he...has left. He said when we needed him, we can find him." Mini Bert said. "I don't understand him..." Logan exclaimed. "I think no-one does..." Mini Bert replied.

Epilogue:

The other hunters returned to pioneer 2 after defeating Rannu. Kinami lay by Maria's hospital bedside. Dale, Duraku, and Snow hit the town. Vahn and Logan were down on ragol, training for the battles they knew were coming...and Mini Bert sit in a chair alone in a lobby thinking about the sages...As for DarkMagician...he was last seen talking and playing with his Rappy friends in a beautiful forest clearing...
