16 cautiously approached the severely damaged human. The android could detect that his ki was dropping at a tremendous rate, now stopping close to zero. He looked down at his former friend. He had serious burns on his face and body. His clothes were torn and his muscles bruised. Those still weren't the worst afflictions that plagued him.

A war was raging on in his mind. Treyb turned from side to side struggling to overcome it. The android couldn't help him now. He had to do it on his own. The outside source was powerful, and wouldn't let go, but the human remained determined. Deep in 16's heart, he felt a great sympathy for him. After all, they were once friends. Be it only for a few hours or an eternity, friends would last forever.

He took one last look at him, and turned around, fearing that if he looked back, he wouldn't be able to continue his mission. The android suddenly remembered the final orb lying atop the regal throne. He quickly ran on the steps, and with a swipe of his hand, he grabbed the item and dropped it into his pocket. All three had been recovered. At the opposite end of the room was a small door that slid open.

The exit! I can finally escape this evil labyrinth and be on my way. Thoughts of his friend returned in his mind. He was helpless. He wanted to help him greatly, but it would be impossible.

He leapt off the throne down to the ground. He stepped into the exit, and the same portal he had seen before was created. He sank in just like usual, but now he was ready for what ever awaited him.

16 examined the area around him. Hot winds thrashed on him from every location, as large spikes jutted out of the ground shot out intense concentrations of fire and lava. Not too far him was a demon standing. His power level was quite high, but he was suppressing it. The android hid behind a large boulder, and strained to hear him talk.

The one with that raspy voice! He's the one that's been telling me everything. But who's he talking to. I don't see anyone yet he continues a conversation.

With out warning, someone pulled on his shoulder. In his edgy state, he turned around and pointed his arm cannons forward. His eyes opened wide in disbelief.

"My god, it's you! Treyb, you've overcome the evil!"

The human was now back in his normal form. He returned to a healthy tan and his childish and cheerful mood returned. "Ya, it was harder than I expected it to be."

16 smiled, and then continued to listen in on the demon's conversation. Treyb's mood soured. "You know that person too? He's the one that had instructed me to retrieve the orbs and do all that stuff."

"But that's, that's," he stuttered. "that's Lediv!"

"What! That can't be possible. Why would he tell you to protect the orbs when he told me to get them! He's playing some twisted game and I'm going to figure it out, right now!" the android stormed, approaching the demon.

He noticed the two out of the corner of his eye, and stopped the conversation he was having with this "invisible" being. The demon had on a thin coat of armor over his entire body. His ears stuck out from both sides and his mouth dripped with hatred and evil.

"Ah, so you've come. I see you've retrieved the orbs and you've brought a friend." Lediv taunted.

"Cut the crap and explain what the hell is happening." 16 shouted.

"Explain, explain what?"

"Don't play shit with us. You know what to explain."

The demon laughed. "You don't get it! Quite simple actually. You want answers, here's your answers!"

With one hand he forced forward a mighty blast. The two leapt out of the way, but barely. They recuperated behind a boulder and discussed the plan.

"We have to fight him now." The android explained.

"I can take him. I know I can. At least you still escape!"

"No way, he's too powerful. We have to do this together!"

"Let's do this the easy way. Flip a coin. Heads I fight him, tails you do." The coin flipped multiple times in the air, and landed into this hand. He closed it and slowly opened. "Heads, I do it." He placed the coin in his pocket, and got into a fighting stance.

Lediv just laughed at his opponent. He was much stronger than the human and with him weakened it would be even easier, but that did not deter Treyb. He began to power up, an aura of white ki surrounding him. He cupped his hands, and released a powerful blast. The demon put his arm in front of him, and blocked it easily. He then retaliated by delivering a large blast of his own. This time it hit its target, causing him collapse onto the ground.

16 couldn't watch his friend get beat, so he rushed over to Lediv, but the demon was clever. He noticed him quickly and concealed him in a thick layer of ki. It detonated, leaving the android damaged, as he too fell to the ground.

The human slowly rose to his feet, regaining some of his ki. He started to sprint, going faster as he went. A small trail below him formed, as dust and rock flew into the air. He was in attack range, when the unanticipated happened. Lediv pointed his finger at him, and a small thin ki shot flew off of his fingertip. It pierced through the air, and skin and bone. It hit him directly between the eyes.

It penetrated flesh, bone, and his brain. His body paused for a moment as the pain took affect. His ki level dropped as did his body. He lay there, motionless. 16's eyes shot open. He pulled himself up and rushed over to his friend. He cradled his head, and felt his pulse. It was too late, he was gone.

A small coin rolled out of his pocket. It was the same coin they had used to see who would fight. He grabbed it and examined it closely, flipping it to both sides. "It's, it's double sided. He, he saved my life." With out warning, another ki blast struck Treyb's body, disintegrating it. He looked back at the evil one.

Emotions filled him. He had never felt so many, hatred, sympathy, sadness, all at once. The android stood, and looked the demon in the eyes. He was the enemy, the cause of death, the evil. 16's ki rose, as he roared a mighty roar. It echoed through out the depths of Hell, shaking what little foundation the land had.

He slowly approached his opponent. "You, you've caused so much pain and misery. It's time you pay." Tears almost streaming down his eyes.

With one Hell's Flash, Lediv was tossed into the air and sent back down, his body broken and ripped in many areas. "You still don't get it! This was all a test! I am just a puppet! The true one lies somewhere else!"

"A test! His death was a test! All of this pain and suffering was a test! Then I'll turn you into a test myself." He clasped his hands and moved them to the side, cupping them. With one push, 16 released a lethal Ultimate Shine Blast. It consumed the demon's body, and destroyed him, slowly and painfully.

He dropped down to the ground on his knees. All the android had now were memories, memories of his good friend.

A loud voice boomed at him. "Now for the final test!" This voice was different. He seemed more evil and sinister, nothing like Lediv.

The android whispered to himself. "The true evil."
