AOE Saga:

The Wrath of the Wraith

Chapter 5:It's all Fun and Games till Someone gets Slain

The two groups returned to the BiNebular in the Ohana and one of the Imperial ship's fighter ships. The BiNebular was only a few light-years away from Nocturnus-13. Red Moon's magic has caused the BiNebular to turn jet-black, which Draco and Chip strongly objected to. "You spend two days giving a battleship a proper paint job then somebody paints over it," grumbled Draco. They managed to get in through the docking bays without being detected. "What our first move?" asked Draco when the two groups had left their ships. "We sneak over to the brig and release the non-cursed experiments that were captured," whispered Chip. Somehow they managed to creep through the pitch-black hallways to the brig. The brig for some reason was darker than the hallways. PlasMorph found a light switch and flipped it on. The group instantly found themselves surrounded by cursed experiments. PlasMorph quickly turned the lights back off. Much battling happened in the dark. Nothing could be seen but plenty of noises could be heard. When PlasMorph turned the lights back on, all of the cursed experiments were found unconscious. EnigMorph quickly administered the serum to all of them. The imprisoned experiments were set free soon afterwards. EnigMorph then thought of a way to help with their fights. He would produce a glowing mist made up of the serum that would light up the area. And when a cursed experiment got an open wound while in the mist, the serum would get inside their bodies and they would be cured. By this method, the group quickly cleared out most of the ship. MysticMorph's upgraded TimeScythe proved to be quite an effective weapon indeed. It could now temporarily send enemies to a limbo-dimension for a few minutes and could freeze everything in time except for the user. Finally, the only place left to clear on the ship was the bridge. The group entered and found it to be even blacker than the other parts of the ship. Only the light from the serum-mist could penetrate the darkness. Then Red Moon's voice was heard from everywhere and nowhere, "So, you've purified the rest of the ship have you? Did you really think that releasing all my minions would weaken me? In the past, that was true. But I've found a way of taking all the vampire or werewolf power that my minion had when he or she lost their powers and add them to my own. And even with that Silverbane Cannon, you can not defeat me." "Show yourself!" yelled EnigMorph. "Very well." Then a large shape loomed up in front of them. It was Red Moon, he was now 9 feet high and armored from head to toe in black, cybernetic battle armor. "Wait a minute," said Chip. "The ceiling in the brig is a lot shorter then that." "It was until I plunged it into a darkness dimension," said Red Moon. Then the glow of his red eyes grew brighter, "Enough talk, let's battle!"

The battle than ensued was very vicious. Even EnigMorph by himself could not topple Red Moon. The four extra Morphs were trying their best, but not even the TimeScythe could seriously harm Red Moon. The armor protected Red Moon from Draco, Chip, and Silvia's powers and the Silverbane Cannon. But the Cannon did seem to weaken Red Moon a bit. Then Virustoxico tried to attack Red Moon head on. He grabbed all of their heads in one claw and pulled them close. He studied them for a few seconds and growled, "Piton Toxico." "Hi Red Moon," gulped Piton. "Long time no sssee." "And do you know why you haven't seen me for so long?" growled the werepire. "Becaussse your body wasss dessstroyed?" "Yes, and you were the one who told the experiments how to do that." "It wasssn't my fault. They forced it out of me with vinesss. There wasss nothing I could do. Won't you forgive me?" Red Moon grinned and said, "No." Red and black energy surged through Virustoxico's body. The only thing louder then their twin screams of pain was Red Moon's cruel laughter. Then a black energy hit Red Moon in the back. He turned around and saw NegaMorph holding up his right arm. "Let them go," he said. "You're saving their lives?" asked Red Moon. "No, it's just that I want to fight with you now." Red Moon threw Virustoxico unceremoniously over his shoulder. "Alright then," said the werepire. The battle between Red Moon and NegaMorph was interesting: Red Moon couldn't control NegaMorph or his attacks because they were made of negative energy, not darkness. The others watched with great interest. "Who do you think will win?" asked Draco. "For our sake, it better be Slimer," said Matt. NegaMorph paused. "Slimer?" he said indignantly. Unfortunately this allowed Red Moon to make a sucker punch. NegaMorph flew straight into the group, knocking them down like bowling pins. "Nice going," said Silvia.

Red Moon grinned and said, "It matters not. We've already reached out destination." He made the darkness roll back to show the main window. Outside was a black planet with a red moon orbiting it. "Nocturnus-13," said NegaMorph. "Yes and now that we are in range, I can now unleash my master-plan." "Landing on Nocturnus-13 wasn't your master-plan?" "Only part," said Red Moon. "You see, I can easily take over Noctunus-13 since it is virtually unpopulated. But all I need is the planet's elemental darkness to amplify my powers to my one true goal: getting through the Chateau portal." "That's it?" said Matt. "The reason you've went through all of this was to get through some silly doorway?" "May I remind you that the Chateau has portal entrances all over the Earth?" said Chip. "And I'll be able to send armies of vampires and werewolves through all of the portals and use them to take over the world," said Red Moon. Then Red Moon sent a bolt of red and black energy at the portal, which was on the other side of the bridge. The portal crackled with energy and was slowly forced open. A multi-colored vortex was revealed. Red Moon walked past the group and went to the portal. "I've enjoyed fight you," he said, "But I've got an Earth to conquer." As Red Moon was stepping through, Virustoxico managed to get generate enough strength to send a powerful viral blast at the portal. The portal tried to close with Red Moon still between dimensions. This caused dimensional energy to strike through Red Moon, weakening him considerably. A large hole appeared in his chest armor. Matt took aim at this hole and fired the Silverbane Cannon straight into it. This time the Cannon's power was truly released on Red Moon. His body slowly disintegrated from his limbs inwards. The last thing that was destroyed was his head. The particles of his body floated in the portal but then they combined into Red Moon's spirit form. Red Moon writhed around until the doorways on both sides of the portal closed, isolating Red Moon in the dimensional gap between.

The moment that Red Moon's mortal form was destroyed and his spirit was trapped between the dimensions, his spell over the BiNebular broke. The black covering over the BiNebular diminished and the ship became its proper green color. All of the darkness inside was replaced by light. And the cursed experiments were returned to normal. The only bad thing though was that Silvia, Virustoxico, and NegaMorph somehow managed to disappear along with their fighter ship. And they still hadn't gotten a DNA sample for Kala. Other then that, the only repairs that had to be made was to the Chateau portal, which was damaged by Red Moon's forced entry and Virustoxico's viral blast. "So where do we go to now?" asked Draco once all repairs were done. "First thing we do is get out of the Borundin Quadrant," said Matt. "This place is way too creepy. Next we have find NegaMorph again. I speculate that he travels along with Silvia and Fire Hazard. Let's try to get a lock on their location." Then one of the communicator monitors crackled and a voice said, "This is the Resistance base at Polarus-9. Imperial troops have attacked. We need help from any ship we can get." The transmission ended very abruptly. Matt turned to Draco and Chip and said, "Shall we kick some Imperial butt first?" "I'm game," said Draco. "Me too," said Chip, "but I think we need to take a vacation soon." "I agree with you Chip," said Matt. "But first thing's first. To Polarus-9!" Matt typed in the coordinates and hit the hyperdrive. The BiNebular rocketed out of the Borundin Quadrant towards distant Polarus-9.

However Red Moon's spirit was still in the dimensional gap. It's possible that he could have been trapped there forever. But the dimensional walls of the multiverse are always opening and closing at unpredictable times. Eventually a small wormhole appeared in the gap and Red Moon flew through. He found himself in a desolate part of the galaxy, where there were no inhabited planets anywhere nearby. Red Moon growled to himself and said, "This isn't over experiments. I'll get even with you all yet and then I'll build the foundations my kingdom on your bones." Then the werepire's ghost flew off to find another host in the galaxy.
