Darkness Triumphant

A/N: Okay so I'm a really lousy writer, but I like it so anyone who's got a problem with that shut up. Anyhow, I'm writing again for a while, or at least when I've got time. Anyhow, I once again reiterate that I own nothing here. I wish I did, of course I wish I was rich. Anyhow, the next place we go to is the land of Middle Earth. Behold what dumbness I can do. Oh yeah, and it takes place a long time after the battle at the mountain and the defeat of Sauron's eye and his armies.

Toby: Okay, I want to know something Doc.

Writer: What?

Toby: Are you going to end up killing us all in the end?

Writer: Uhm……….I'm not at liberty to answer that.

Bell: What's that supposed to mean?

Toby: I think he does plan on killing us, but won't admit it.

Writer: Ha, funny. Let's get back to the story.

Chapter Seven: Weirder things have yet happened.

Fiona's power picked us up and once again we were traveling through the wavelengths in dimensional style, once again a door way opened and deposited us elsewhere.

"So where are we this time?" asked Toby, looking unsure of this place, "It's very…….forestry."

"Yes it is," I said, scanning the horizon, and then my sight fell on something behind me. "Cat, check that signpost to see where we are."

Cat walked over, looked at the sign, pulled out one of his guns and deactivated the safety, and walked back to the group armor activating as he came back.

"Cat?" I asked, "What the heck?"

"It said: Welcome to Elven Woods, visitors not welcome unless with escort, so we're screwed."

I looked around, we were on the edge of the woods, and the Elves lived within, therefore using the trees was not to our advantage, staying out in the open was better.

"T Formation," I said, "land fighters stay down, all flyers get airborne."

The T formation wasn't a true T, because we wouldn't all be facing the same direction, it was more of an I formation. Cat, Banpei, Siegel, and I took off into the air, with our combined powers whatever came at us we could defeat. How wrong we would be later when we found out so.

A bunch of elves came forth from the trees, we had our banner out as was custom, ours was a phoenix with the multiverse symbol under it, and we had our truce sign up as well.

"Who dares come unto the lands of Finderkind uninvited?" asked the lead elf.

"I am Phoenix of the Multiverse army, seeking Legolas, Strider, Gimli, Gandalf, and Frodo; we are joining the fight against the darkness that has corrupted many other worlds."

"You come seeking the hero's of the Great War," said the lead elf, "you come to the wrong place."

"We came through the multiverse dimensional portal," said Keichii, "We did not know where we'd end up."

The leader raised his hand and then let it drop, immediately arrows fired from the trees.

"PROTECTION SHIELD!" cried Bell and surrounded us all with a shield as the arrows bounced off harmlessly.

"Was there reason for that?" I asked, "We come here in peace and you fire on us.

"You intruded on Finderkind land," said the Elf who was apparently their ruler, "and for that we must destroy you, your quest is now ended."

He raised his hands and more knockings could be heard, so I decided to play my hand, I raised three fingers and the three robots opened fire with cannon fire, knocking out a good part of the forest.

"We come here in peace," I said, "You will let us leave in peace, or you will find hard to find your own pieces."

He looked at me and glared then whistled a loud and long tone. We heard stampeding like horses and saw through the clearing was coming Elven Calvary with crossbows.

A voice cried out……….. "Phoenix…………Supreme Omega Code Red!"

In my hands appeared a really big gun, I aimed it and fired, it fired hard, I went back hard one way and the forest and Calvary all went the other way. Actually to be more specific, it obliterated them.

The king was looking rather scared now, and suddenly his hands started glowing, or to be more specific, the rings on his hands which were all amethyst elemental stones started glowing.

The king seemed to grow into an orclike giant type creature. Cat, who had a power monitor on him for creature ident, was showing that the king was way beyond the exponential for Elves; apparently this was some dark magic that was beyond what they should be able to do.

"What are you?" I cried as he unleashed really gigantic stomps.

"I am Finderkind," It said, I am the spirit of the Finderkind!"

I was not going to stand for that answer, I saw it blanch when Toby fired off one of his arrows at it, but no damage was done.

"Hero's," I cried, "Unity attack!"

They all went into the Unity attack mode formation or the U mode, which was in the shape of a U and me outside the U.

We weren't prepared for what he pulled next, the creature king pulled out a tree that was still standing and started whacking it around, he was getting too close for comfort, then the really big pummel took out Toby and sent him flying, the robot trio got bashed as well and sent flying, soon it was just down to me and him.

"Little Man," it laughed, "Do you have any requests before you die?"

I didn't answer because I started feeling another transformation about to occur………… "Phoenix…………………..Supreme Transformation to…………………….WarPhoenixmon!"

"Yes," I said, "Supreme Tao Punch!

The attack didn't go the way I wanted it to, but it pushed him on edge a bit. I look back on this years from now and realize that his power resided in the power of the trees, if I had gotten rid of the trees earlier instead of just knocking out the forest but the whole 5 mile radius, things might have been easier.

"Really young one," the creature laughed, "Is that the best you can do?"

"NO!" said a deep commanding voice, "He can do better!"

I turned to see A really white wizard standing there, with a human, a dwarf, and an elf, all pointing arrows at the creature.

"You are trespassing on the Finderkind lands," said the creature, "You shall be eliminated as well."

"I THINK NOT," said Gandalf, "FOR YOU HAVE FALLEN FINDERKIND AND YOUR SIN IS GREAT!"

"Gandalf the White shall truly fall this day," said the creature as it picked up a new tree.

That's when I figured it out, the tree's, there were still some in the area, about ten and if he was still up and powerful then they were his true source of power.

"Omega Flood!" I cried, releasing a flood of power at the trees. The idea worked, it brought down the trees, killing off whatever power he had left.

"NO!" cried the creature as light surrounded him and brought him back to normal size, and his rings also had disappeared. At first I thought they had incorporated, but then I realized that they had broken in the original process and with the trees destroyed they must have been broken for good.

"I am the Penultimate Judgment," I said, "You have committed a crime that is unforgivable, the usage of the powers of nature to harvest your own power, and for that you must be punished."

"No," he cried, "Forgive me, I wanted power to protect my lands from Sauron, the darkness came back it tried to take them, but I stopped it and it fled. I wanted to have that ultimate power to make me answerable to no one."

"How unfortunate," I said as I summoned up a spell circle. "But you sinned and that is the unforgivable sin of nature, for that you must be punished………………..Tao Summoner Circle!"

The circle activated around him, "You made a choice that you will spend eternity for hating yourself," said Gandalf, "Now face that punishment."

The circle closed with Finderkind going down into the phantom zone. In a few years I'd open it and let him out, after he learned his lesson.

"You made a wise choice Phoenix," said Gandalf, "Others would of destroyed him."

"I am not others," I said, "I am the Penultimate, I make the right choices, now I have to find my friends."

"You will not find them in this reality," Gandalf said, "They were swept into a modern reality, much like your home reality, only much weirder, and it will be your last place to stop before the final dimension."

"Thank you," I said, "Gandalf, can you set me a door so I can go?"

"I can do better," He smiled, "We are coming with you."

"Let's go." I said, "we have much more to save now."
