Time: A bit after the tragedy.
Place: OS HQ in Black Hole
Tears streamed down her cheeks, as she huddled up on top of a couch, ignoring everyone else around her.
"Are you okay?" Andy probed.
" . . ."
"Nothin'." Andy said to Nell.
"That's not good at all." She said.
" . . ." Sami slowly stood up."
"!!!"
" . . .why . . .why did he . . .?" She finally said as she fell unconscious to the floor.
"Sami!"
"Oh dear." The other three Orange Star officers gathered around her. "Call a medic, NOW!" Nell shouted, carefully cradling the younger girl's head on her lap. " . . .why did he sacrifice himself to go after Sturm like that? He promised her he'd come back alive . . ."
Time: 10 minutes later
Place: Infirmary
The dull whir and beeping of the monitoring machines droned on, as the others carefully looked at her. Blue Moon, Yellow Comet and Drake had taken a temporary residence in the Orange Star HQ in Black Hole. The White Sun was just informed, and they were making their way to Black Hole with their armies. Eagle was still nowhere to be found. Andy, Max and Nell watched as the crimson haired girl shifted every so often in a fitful bout with semi-consciousness.
" . . ."
"She's coming to."
" . . .mmm . . ."
"Looks like it."
" . . . mmph . . ."
"Yeah . . ."
" . . ."
"What happened?" Sonja said, entering the room. Sonja herself looked just as bad as Sami did. Her arm was in a sling, and she had been out cold for the past few days after the battle had ended. She had been padding around the hospital for the last hour in her pajamas trying to figure out what was going on. All she got were deathly cold and silent glances since she woke up again.
"She's waking up." Andy said, resting his hand on her arm.
"That's good." Sonja said, staring at her friend.
" . . . M . . . m . . ."
"Why'd she collapse?"
" . . .you don't know?"
"Know what? Everyone looked so depressed when I woke up."
"You were out for a while weren't you?"
"I guess."
"Anyways, you should sit down first." Nell motioned at the edge of Sami's bed.
"Hmm?"
"Please do it Sonja. All we have is bad news. Sturm's still alive and . . ."
"All right . . ." Sonja sat on the soft mattress and looked intently at Nell.
" . . .Mel . . .Mel was . . .was K . . .K . . .I . . .A . . .by Sturm . . ." Nell said, her business like composure shattering. She couldn't help but let the tears fall.
" . . .no . . ."
" . . .yes." Andy said, resting his hand on her quivering shoulder.
" . . .no . . ."
" . . .mmm . . .Mel?"
"Oh no . . ."
"Sami . . .I'm . . .so . . .sorry." Sonja sobbed.
" . . .Sonja? Oh no . . ." Sami started to cry again.
" . . .it's all right . . ."
" . . .no it's not." She sniffed.
"C'mon . . ."
" . . .I can't." Sami hugged tightly against Sonja and wept on her shoulder. "First Commander Eagle . . .then Mel . . .and . . ."
"And what?" Sonja asked. She saw Sami's hand shaking as she reached for something hanging on her neck.
"This . . ." She said, sobbing loudly.
"What?" Sonja wiped away her tears and looked at the object in Sami's closed hand. There was a small band of gold attached to her necklace. "He . . .he didn't . . ."
"He did."
"When?"
"Before he left . . .when you went back to bed . . ." Sami said, trying to regain what was left of her broken spirit.
" . . .I'd say congratulations . . .but that . . .that won't be necessary." Sonja said.
" . . .Mm hmm . . ." Sami nodded, slumping dejectedly down onto her bed. "It's no use . . ."
Time: All the while
Place: Black Hole Laboratory
"Sir . . .is he dead?" The scientist asked, looking at Mel.
"It seems so . . ."
"Are you certain?"
" . . .well . . .check for yourself."
"Hmm . . .I will . . ." He said as he hooked up electrodes and wires and such to Mel.
"Call me back when anything interesting turns up . . ."
"Very well sir . . ." The scientist nodded as Sturm left. "Hmm . . .you're an interesting one . . ."
' . . .what in the . . .oh crap . . .' Dark murmured as he 'stood' next to Mel's body. 'Ugh . . .I guess the shock must have knocked me out of his body . . .'
" . . .hmm . . .you're still showing signs of life . . .how interesting."
'Sonnuva . . .he almost killed him!'
"Well . . .might as well take some blood samples and such . . .see if I need to clone you or something . . ."
' . . .bastard. Well . . .I guess I should find somewhere to be . . .oh. The Origin . . .what is that thing doing here!? Oh well . . .I guess that should be a fitting place to dwell for now . . .because knowing if I end up back in Mel's body . . .he might get killed . . .again.' He sighed as he floated into the sword.
"What the . . .something's wrong with that weird sword . . ." The scientist muttered.
"Ugh . . .ugh . . ."
" . . .what the?"
" . . .ow . . .god dammit . . .stop poking my damn arm you son of a bitch . . ." Mel groaned and swore as he regained what was left of his consciousness. "Guh . . ."
"Um . . .okay . . .this is . . .not right . . .you should be dead . . ."
"Where the hell am I?"
"Ah . . .Lord Sturm!!!"
"Yes? What do you want!?"
" . . .um . . .look."
" . . .ah . . .so you're actually still alive? Amazing . . ."
"You . . .bastard . . ."
"Fortunate that I won't kill you now . . ."
"Damn you . . .why not?"
" . . .because I want you to see the rest of your friends suffer first!"
" . . .bastard. Where's the Origin?"
"That toy? You don't deserve it anymore." Sturm then turned to the scientist. "You have the samples now doctor?"
" . . .yes."
"As for you boy, that sword will be put to better use . . .heh."
"You . . ."
"As for you though . . .we no longer have use for you. We have all we need. Now we'll just send you to the detention center and let you watch your friends' demise. Then I shall have great pleasure in ridding myself of you."
" . . .I'll kill you Sturm. I swear I will."
"That, I would like to see boy."
"That desire shall be granted to you one day."
"Too bad . . .you won't live long enough to pull your end of the bargain . . .hmph." Sturm then punched Mel in the gut.
"GAH!" He groaned.
"Now guards, take him away."
"Yes sir."
Time: Unknown
Place: Black Hole Area
Mel slowly moved his bloodied form along the bare dirt road. His hands were cuffed from the front and the two guards watching him remained deathly silent.
"Hehe . . ." Mel groaned, as the blood trickled from his lip.
"Shut up and move Orange Star dog." The Black Hole guard said pushing him with the butt of his rifle.
"Hmph." 'Good thing I left my own good weapons back in HQ before I came to check on Black Hole.' Mel thought to himself. "Idiots . . ."
"What was that impudent swine?" The guard hammered Mel in the back with the rifle butt.
"Gah!" He groaned, coughing up blood.
"Idiot. Keep moving."
"B-b-bastards . . ." He cursed. His white uniform was covered in his blood. "You think you can take me this easily?"
"What was that!?"
"Heh . . .hack . . .heh . . .cough . . ." Mel wheezed painfully as he was being led to the detention facility. "Lousy Black Hole . . ."
"Shut up!" The guard kicked him in the back of the leg, causing him to collapse onto the dirt.
"Argh . . ." Came a muffled groan.
"And this guy calls himself a CO. Ha! He comes in without any troops, what kind of idiot would do that?" The first guard said to the other.
"Damn straight."
" . . ."
"Hey! You get up!"
" . . ."
"I'll shoot you if you don't move."
"Lord Sturm said you can't kill the prisoner."
"I know, but I can permanently maim him."
" . . ."
"Move it punk!"
" . . ."
"Stubborn eh? Let's see what a few rounds of machine gun fire can do!" The guard readied his gun.
"You two really think a few rounds can take me out?" Mel said with a pained laugh. "You're terribly mistaken."
"What did you say!?" The guard said enraged.
"I said . . .eat this!" He swung his clenched fists straight into the guard's unprotected jaw, shattering it. "Idiot."
"Riley! You! Don't move!"
"Hahaha . . ." Mel had gone out of sight.
"Where'd that guy go!?" The guard said panicking.
"Hahaha . . ."
"I know you're here! Don't try anything!"
"Gahaha . . ." The eerie laughter continued.
" . . .where is he?"
"HAHAHA!!!" The twisted laughter came from the treetops and as the guard looked up Mel descended on him, his hands glowing with deadly En. "Destruction . . .blade!" Moments later, after the sound of blows landing, the guard fell to the ground dead. " . . .Ugh . . .gotta get outta here before the En rush wears off . . ." Mel said to himself, as he searched them for the keys to the handcuffs, unlocked them, then ran off.
Time: In the mean time
Place: Black Hole labs
Sturm paced about with his many researchers and technicians busily working with data on Mel and the Origin. He was surprised that anyone could survive that assault.
"Perhaps it's this sword." Sturm murmured, looking at the blade, as it constantly played the dim light in the room.
"Indeed Commander. It is possible. The En reading coming from it are off the scales."
"Impressive."
"But the request you have made is rather difficult to fulfill, but it may work just as well as the last experiment."
"Of course. But is it ready?"
"Almost sir."
"Good, good."
"We have the sword, the DNA, and the information, we only need to create a vessel needed to be filled with Dark En."
"Fill the sword."
"But?"
"Do it. Perhaps, with that slight unbalance, a vessel may be created."
"I see Commander." The technician began processing Dark En into the blade, and Sturm watched with satisfaction as the weapon that had earlier rended his flesh was now going to help him destroy all of the other factions and allow him to rule.
"Amazing. It is forming a soul."
"Not just that, but I believe it is the commander of White Sun in the 'Darkness' state."
"Very impressive."
"Ah, physical state complete."
"Good. Good. Now for some Dark En." Sturm put energy into the 'soul'.
" . . ."
"Well?"
"It seems to have no vital signs."
"What?"
"More of a pure En basis."
"Pure En?"
"Purely. Nothing more."
"What?"
"It's neither living or dead."
"So?"
"It is Pure Destructive En."
"Astounding."
" . . .who . . .who called upon me?" Came a voice from the figure sitting up. It was Dark.
"I did. I am your master."
"Ah . . . an En user. Of course, I only exist to serve." He brushed back a tress of long onyx hair from his face.
"No go and destroy all the allied armies of Wars World! They await you outside. As well, I have prepared troops for your use."
"I thank you, Lord . . ."
"Sturm."
"Lord Sturm . . ."
"And take this. It shall prove more than useful to you." Sturm handed the now darkened Origin to the figure.
"Thank you, my lord."
"But may I ask, who or what are you?"
"I am Dark, the entity of Destructive En. The main lifeblood that commands all CO abilities. I am but invincible."
"Excellent. Now I have living Destructive En under my control!"
Time: An hour later
Place: A city in Black Hole
The buildings were bare, there was no definite sign of life there. Mel slowly made his was through the streets.
"This is not good . . ." Mel groaned, half-walking, half-dragging himself along the sidewalk. He'd managed to make his way out of the detention center and through an entire squadron of guards with the remaining En he had left. He'd managed to take their first aid packs and fixed himself up. "Dammit, I'll get Sturm for that one." He then doubled over to the ground and wretched violently as blood came from his mouth. "Ooh, note to self, taking very powerful Pure Dark En attacks head on and almost getting my ass killed is a bad thing." He struggled to get back up, and leaned carefully on the shaft of a discarded gun. "Now where did I hide my junk? Huh?" He turned to see in the distance, there were two forces still fighting. "Eagle?"
Time: Meanwhile
Place: Black Hole
Eagle and his men were holding off the remaining forces of the Andy Clones.
"Hmph, these things are annoying! Lightning Strike!" He shouted, as pure energy filled his units and they charged forward striking the remaining enemy troops with a salvo of destruction. "That should be that last of them. I wonder how everybody else is holding up?" An explosion caused him to turn. "Huh? Damn! More of them!"
"Strike!" Came a shout.
"What the?" Eagle was surprised as beams of energy cut across the battle field, hitting every last one of the Black Hole troops, leaving a smoking patch of ash where they were. "What on Earth . . .? Wait, only one person could use that attack. Mel!"
" . . .ugh. Damn right." Came a pained reply from the com-link. Mel's face appeared on screen. "I've managed to regroup some of my own men, who thought I was dead, and we captured the remaining Black Hole territories here. They've been rendered useless and are surrendering. But now, we should go after Sturm."
"Indeed. You look terrible though."
"I know, tell me about it. Ugh . . ." He collapsed on the floor.
"Mel! Quickly! Whoever is not busy at the moment, quickly get to the White Sun region and get the Advisor to the infirmary!"
"Yes sir!"
"Now that I've found Mel, perhaps we should have to regroup . . .no wait, perhaps we should get ready to trap Sturm . . ."
Time: 8:00 pm
Place: Infirmary/Command room
" . . .?" Andy saw a strange signal coming in. " . . .bizarre."
"(sniffle)" Sami remained curled up on her bed, refusing to speak, eat or move from that spot. The only evidence that she was even awake was the sound of her sniffling and the tears running down her face from her reddened eyes.
"C'mon Sami, it's alright." Sonja said, trying to comfort the red-haired girl.
"No it's not." She moaned.
'Bzz . . .bzz . . .bzzkrt!'
"Eh? The com link is going off!?" Andy quickly smacked the button that activated it. The screen showed up, but with only the shadow of a dark figure.
"Heh. It's me, and if you all want to find me, just wait around the Black Hole HQ. If you dare."
"What . . .what the hell was that!? No . . .was that . . ."
" . . .Mel?" Sami finished.
Time: Later
Place: ???
Andy clenched his fists.
"No way in hell is that Mel." He said. "It's . . .it's another damned clone!"
"Bzzkt!"
"Eh?"
"I am more than a simple clone, Andy. But since either you're brave or stupid enough to come, I commend you on that. Now bring it on!"
" . . .that tears it! Prepare whatever troops we have left! We're gonna storm Black Hole! For Mel!"
"Hold on Andy . . .I know you want revenge . . .but our men are exhausted on all fronts . . .we need to regroup, get reinforcements and then fight back." Nell said.
"But . . .dammit Nell . . .Mel's dead . . .I can't take this . . .we have to. We just have to . . ."
"Andy . . ." Sami said.
"Sami?"
" . . .I'm glad you feel this way . . .but I don't think he'd want us to sacrifice ourselves just for revenge . . .maybe . . .maybe we should just give up."
" . . .are you kidding me Sami!? Has something in your head just snapped cuz?" Andy said grabbing the girl's shoulders.
"Huhn . . .?" She gazed blankly back at him.
" . . .it's no good." Sonja said crossing her arms. "She's lost it . . ."
"Is she . . .gonna be . . .okay?"
"I think the psychological trauma of it should wear off eventually, but currently, in her state, she's just about as useful as rag doll to us . . ."
"Mel . . ." Sami sighed, hugging her knees to her chest.
" . . .no good. Let's just let her stay in her room for now."
" . . .yeah."
"Sami . . .hang tight. We'll make sure Sturm pays." Andy said.
Time: Within 24 hours
Place: Orange Star Helipad
The wind tore through the area as a number of shiny white colored helicopters began their descent onto the Orange Star base.
"Is this place it?" Gabe muttered as the gale tossed the ends of his jacket. " . . .we should have noticed something was up when Kanbei left for so long."
"Well . . .by the looks of it . . ." Gary said peering through a pair of binoculars, I'd say that the black army back there is our foe."
"Then let's get onto business shall we?"
" . . .what about business?"
"It's payback time." The swordsman said.
"Ah . . .that dirty type of business. Well . . .let's get to it. I'm sure if we don't . . .Mel's ghost'll probably haunt us down 'til our grandkids or something . . ." Gary groaned.
"Heh . . .damn right it will. Let's go!"
Place: Orange Star HQ
" . . .mm . . .mm . . .mm . . ." Sami basically bobbed side to side on her seat on her bed in the infirmary.
"Whoa . . .it's true . . .she's totally vegged." Gary said examining Sami's face. "Um . . .hi?"
" . . .hmm . . .hi . . .la . . .la . . ."
"You think she'll stay like that?" Sonja asked.
" . . ." Gabe just frowned. "Not unless you do something." With that, he simply raised his hand and brought it across the redhead's face.
'SMACK'
"OW!" Came a surprised yelp. "Ow . . .that hurt!"
" . . .there we go." Gabe said crossing his arms. "No service charge for curing of psychological trauma is necessary."
" . . .euh . . .since when did you two get here!?" Sami asked pointing at Gabe and Gary.
"Just a few minutes ago." Gary said, backing away slowly.
"And . . .why does my face hurt so much?" She whined holding her cheek. "And . . .where's – mmph!"
"Don't say it." Sonja said holding her hand over Sami's mouth.
" . . .mm?"
" . . .Sami . . .sorry . . .but . . .we should ease you into this again . . ."
"Into . . .oh . . .oh . . .I understand . . ."
"Then . . ."
"No . . .it's all right. I know why you're all grim again . . .I'm sorry if I caused you any trouble while I was out of it . . ."
"Think nothing of it." Gabe said. "It would've helped if they did it before I did though . . ." 'Hoo-boy . . .I'm sure as hell gonna get a major haunting for this . . .'
"Ow . . ." Sami sighed as she brushed away some tears.
"So . . .can you help now Sami?" Sonja asked.
" . . .I . . .I don't think I'll be of any help to you guys still . . ." She said shaking her head. "Just . . .tell Andy, give them a good couple hits for me."
"We'll let him know." Gary said.
" . . .ah . . .and sorry about that. But I think you needed a good hit." Gabe said with a forced smile.
" . . .I understand."
"Well . . .see you two then."
Place: OS Command
" . . .those . . .rrr." Andy growled. "I'll show them!"
"Ah . . .Andy!"
"Huh? Gabe! Gary!"
"We've brought help. Now let's take the fight to whoever this new officer is then, shall we?"
"All right! Let's move!"
Place: Black Hole HQ
"Hmm . . .interesting. Interesting. I like this." Dark murmured.
"Well . . .have they taken the bait?" Sturm asked.
"Yes, yes they have."
"Good . . .now show us that power of yours."
"With pleasure . . ."
Place: Orange Star HQ
"Hmm . . .let's move out!"
"Do you idiots really think you can beat me?" Dark's face came up on the communications screen.
"Yeah! Damn right we will!" Andy shouted back.
"Fools . . .now taste my wrath." Dark drew his sword.
"Huh!? What's goin' on?"
"Uh oh . . .watch out now." Gabe said.
"What's the matter?"
" . . .die. All of you. Die."" Dark simply swung the sword and even from the headquarters, the allied commanders felt the shockwaves from the En, knocking the occupants of the buildings off their feet.
"Ow!" Sami groaned as she fell on the floor. "What's going on out there Sonja!?"
" . . .oof . . .I don't know. Daddy, what's happening?"
" . . .there . . .seems to be giant waves of En coming from the enemy headquarters . . .and it's tearing through all our men."
"Drat . . ." Sonja spat as she watched the glowing energy tear across the fields disintegrating soldiers and turning vehicles and aircraft into scrap.
"Holy . . ." Andy stammered as he tried to get up off the ground. "This guy is even scarier than Mel . . ."
". . . he reminds me of someone." Max said.
"Of course he does . . ." Gary said grimly. "If you remember, Mel came back sometime during that tournament in this 'form' as we'll call it. This 'entity' is technically some sort of manifestation of Mel or something . . ."
"Which is probably why Sami mistook that person . . .to be Mel." Nell realized.
"Another thing though." Gabe started. "At the same time, he isn't entirely Mel, the En readings and types differ. This guy's affinity is Darkness, like mine. Whereas Mel can use mainly fire and light, even though he has the capacity to use some dark type En."
"Hmm . . ."
"And certain COs have a tendency to have more than one type of ability, after all, the Destruction Strike is more light orientated in comparison to the flaming strokes of the Destruction Blade . . ."
"But didn't Mel change the way he used Destruction Blade later on?" Andy asked.
"Probably . . .then it'd be a light type technique as well. But . . .it was pretty easy to adapt for him . . ."
"Well . . .do we have any other Light En users that happen to be alive?" Gary muttered.
"Sadly, no."
Place: Infirmary
"Mmm . . ." Sami moaned softly as she lay on her bed.
"Oh no . . .not again." Sonja groaned as she gently clasped Sami's hands reassuringly. "C'mon . . .don't let it get to you . . ."
" . . .and he promised . . ."
"Promised what?"
"To visit the graves of our parents . . ."
" . . .oh . . ."
"And now . . .I guess I'm stuck visiting his as well . . ." She started to sob.
" . . .my, my . . ." Sonja sighed. "Guess there's no helping it . . .there, there . . ." She hugged her friend.
"But . . ."
"Think what Mel would say if he saw you crying Sami . . ." Sonja said gently.
"He . . .he'd tease me for crying . . .then . . .then he'd . . ."
Place: OS Command
" . . .that is just sick." Andy groaned as he finally regrouped their men.
"But . . .we're kinda screwed . . ." Gabe muttered. "I think his En is limitless."
"You mean he could pull another one of those just like that!?"
" . . .probably."
"Well then we probably are gonna get – "
'BOOM'
"Eat this!" Came a shout from a familiar voice. "Eagle's back and he's got reinforcements!"
"Eagle! He's alive!" Andy cheered.
"Of course I am Andy! But there's someone more important coming around the rear!"
Place: ???
"Think you can get rid of me that easily eh? I don't know why or how, but I'm still kicking around! Now . . .STRIKE!"
Place: Orange Star HQ
"Whoa . . ." Andy said in awe as beams of En tore through the black units, destroying them. "He's back . . ."
"Amazing . . .no, a miracle." Gary said grinning broadly.
" . . .Mel." Gabe laughed. "I knew it was way harder to kill someone like you."
"Mel-nii . . ." Sonja managed as she started to cry happily.
"I'm glad to see you're all right guys." Mel said on the communications system. "Let's kick some Dark Entity butt!"
" . . .Mel!?" Sami said just as she fainted.
"Not aagin . . ." Nell sighed.
"We've managed to take over most of the enemy bases without their nothing, so Andy . . ." Mel started.
"Yeah?"
"Go and finish this!"
"Yeah! . . .with what though!? He nuked more than half of all our forces in one shot!"
" . . .minor, minor detail." Mel groaned.
Place: Black Hole HQ
"Impossible . . .What's HE DOING ALIVE!?" Dark growled.
"But sir . . ." A soldier said.
"Oh wait . . .he was still alive. Rather . . .how did he ESCAPE!?"
"He probably killed both the guards escorting him and he ran off."
"Damn." Dark cursed. "Oh well, then I can start with more killing. With you being the first."
"What!?"
"Heh . . ." Dark simply gave a twisted grin as the soldier looked down his chest.
"What . . .?" He then realized that Dark's arm was through it.
" . . .how was that?"
" . . .uh . . .urk . . .ugh . . ." He babbled as he died.
"Now then . . ."
"Sir!"
"What!?"
"We currently have no more deployment points! All reinforcements are gone and we remain with only a few weakened units left!"
" . . .well damn them . . .let them come after me. I'll deal with them personally."
"I see sir."
"Oh and you . . ."
"Yes?"
"Die." Dark placed his hand on the soldier's face and released a blast on energy, leaving only ashes.
"It's no good if you continually kill our own men Dark . . ."
"Lord Sturm . . ."
"If you think you can defeat them . . .very well. Let them all come here."
"But of course Lord Sturm."
Place: Orange Star HQ
" . . .I'm . . .back . . ." Mel said.
" . . .it's good to see that you're alive . . .but just how?" Nell asked.
"I . . .don't . . .know."
"Well . . .don't give us such a fright next time eh?" Max said.
" . . .yeah . . .sorry."
"Faking your death is soo not cool." Andy muttered.
"I wasn't faking it! I could have sworn I was dead!"
" . . .huh . . ."
"Hmm?" Mel turned to see who it was. "Sami?"
" . . .you . . ." She slowly walked toward him. "IDIOT!" She screamed tears flowing down her cheeks. "You stupid, stupid idiot!"
"Uh . . ."
Idiot! Idiot! Idiot! You . . .you . . ." She then slapped him and collapsed to the ground.
"Ow." Mel muttered rubbing his cheek.
"Wow . . ." Andy said. "She still has enough kick in her to do that."
"Yeah . . .yeah . . .ow. She left a mark didn't she?"
"Yup."
"Hmm. C'mon . . .get up." Mel said pulling her up. "It's time to give them some payback."
"Huh . . .?"
"I want to see what this Dark character is all about . . .and to kick his ass."
"Hmm . . .yeah. That sounds good."
"Then let's move. Dark . . .can you hear me? I'm coming for you!" Mel shouted on the com-link.
Place: Black Hole
"Then by all means . . .come!" Dark said laughing. "Today will be a very entertaining day! Hahahahahahaha!"
End of Chapter
Name: Dark
DOB: 'Created'
Gender: Male
Nationality: ???
Rank: Commanding Officer, First Class
Eye color: Brown to Red
Hair color: Black, long
Distinguishing features: Long black hair, red glowing eyes, two slightly more noticeable canine teeth (fanged)
Height: 6'2"
Weight: 170 lbs
Country: Black Hole
Bio: A 'doppelganger' of the real Mel, but with the true dark powers of the awesome Destructive En. He was created from the En Shift mode of captured Mel and was filled with Destructive En and Dark Destructive En. Under the command of Sturm and Black Hole's army, he is the complete anti-thesis of the real Mel. Evil and depraved, he craves battle and his blade thirsts for blood and chaos. His katana known as Dark Origin proves itself to be more formidable than even Mel's Destruction Blade. Being capable of more destruction than Mel could ever deal with, his only weakness is his thirst for power. Never needing any other arms, his sword has proven more than deadly against tanks and even battleships. Wears a long black coat, he's not hard to miss, with long hair, and glowing red eyes. Prowess in any sort of battle is unmatched. However does not have the CO power bonuses that the others gain, i.e. 2 range on indirect, 2 move for infantry. Because he is the 'perfect' commander, he has some more field advantages compared to Mel. Little else is known about the enigmatic 'entity of Destruction'. Apparently . . .some of this information seems to be untrue . . .
Strengths: All units have a 1 movement cost on any terrain. All units can move perfectly in snow and rain. High attack power
Weaknesses: Insanity and depravity, Low defense
CO Power(s):
