Chapter 8: Final Battle!

(It's finally here! The big battle as to who's fate will strive. Enjoy!)

The next day…

"Hello, citizens of Acmetropolis!" Zodavia announced as the Worldrome was overcrowded with every single citizen in Acmetropolis, including Emerald, who was in a healing bed next to Tech in the audience. "Today, we're ready to witness the battle that coule decide our fate. Kaiguard and Ryzakhanyo versus Taiguard and Pyrokyte. We'll have two separate battles. Kaiguard versus Taiguard and Ryzakhanyo versus Pyrokyte, which will be the first fight."

As this was said, Ryzakhanyo stood at his entrance, ready to fight. Pyrokyte was in the same position in his entrance, with his own armor made by himself. Zodavia appeared in the center of the hugs arena as she spoke.

"On the right entrance, the tallest Loonatic and, probably, the most powerful as well… Ryzakhanyo!"

The tall lavender PandRabbiDragonox walked out with the crowd going wild, holding his sword in one hand and a plasma ultima whip strapped to his waist. His armor was powerful and massive as he Zodavia took a final check of him.

"And in the left entrance… Pyrokyte!" She continued as the evil Mystic ferret twin of Emerald walked out in his armor… and on two feet with his extremely sharp sword. When he approached the two, Zodavia improved Pyrokyte as she continued. "This first battle will be a two round match, having 4 minutes of fighting time each. Whoever's the last one standing will be the victor. Any questions?" The two sidekicks shook their heads while staring at each other eye-to-eye. "Now, may the force of the Loonatics be with you and good luck. Fighting stance! Ready………… BEGIN!" After that, Zodavia disappeared just in time for Pyrokyte to slash his sword, only to be miraculously blocked by Ryzakhanyo's impressive armored wristband. He smiled as he blocked the sharp sword as he pulled out his whip and slashed the sword in half, shocking Pyrokyte and sending the crowd going wild, especially Slam, who was freaking Ace, Lexi, Zappondellyo, Danger, and Rev out.

"My God!" Danger exclaimed he watched the tasmanian devil go nearly out of control with his excessive cheering. "Is it just me or is Slam bein' very supportive to Ryzakhanyo?"

"Slam is Ryzakhanyo's biggest fan and probably his best friend." Zappondellyo replied in his expert tone. "It's nothing new really."

"Well, tell him to take a chill pill and sit his big, purple ass down."

"Ugh!"

"Danger is such a retard around Slam." Lexi muttered under her breath, agreeing with Zappondellyo. Ace shook his head in response.

Back in the arena…

Ryzakhanyo dodged Pyrokyte's 23rd attack in a row without getting hit not once since the fight started. This was pissing the ferret off as he landed on his feet again.

"Look, Mr. Block-and-Sense-Every-Move! I've had it up to here with your crazy blockin'! Time to end this!" He screamed as he pulled out a spare sword from behind his back. "Prepare to block for one last time!"

"I'm expectant for this, bastard. Bring it." Ryzakhanyo replied bravely as he stood in his usual still-as-a-statue stance. Pyrokyte ran up to him, screaming with effort on the way. The sword was really close from slashing Ryzakhanyo until…

"ULTIMA WHIP!" He screamed as he launched his whip out of his pocket and it hit the ferret under his chin, leaving it bleeding with a deep wound at his neck as it was in slow-motion with Pyrokyte falling towards the ground on his back hard, leaving his blood staining his fur and the arena grounds, rendering him unconcious and claiming Ryzakhanyo the winner.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the winner of this first match is… Ryzakhanyo!" Zodavia announced as she appeared next to the Loonatic and raised his hand up in victory. "Congradulations! This'll give Kaiguard an advantage for sure. You may sit in the audience with the other Loonatics while I check on the two dragons."

Meanwhile, in Taiguard's preparation room…

Taiguard overheard the victory of Ryzakhanyo and grew angry.

"Oh, hell no, man!" He cursed to himself as he looked at himself in the mirror. "Kaiguard will die for that! Him and his makin'-his-own-experiment tail! I can't wait 'til I kill him! When I do, he'll realize how stupid he is for lyin' about the start of our fight. If only there was a way to… make…… this… competition………… better…… hmmmm…" After that was said, Zodavia appeared behind him.

"Are you ready, Taiguardian H9000?" She asked. Taiguard turned himself around his chair as he spoke.

"Yeah, just one thing… is there another female Loonatic besides Lexi in the audience?"

"Yes. Her name is Carnation Williams. She's the descendant of Tahitii's girlfriend, Rachel and powered by lavender colored powers. She's also Kaiguard's girlfriend. Why?"

"I wanna talk to her for a second."

"Make it quick. You have 2 minutes until the battle begins."

Later, in the audience…

Carnation and Paxitony were astonished by Ryzakhanyo's win and they were discussing it. Carnation didn't notice Taiguard stalking up on her from behind, but Lexi's super hearing did as she quickly turned towards him and grew wide eyed, but before she could react…

Zzzzzzit!

…Taiguard zapped the lavender dragon Loonatic to an unconcious state and took her away with his tentacles, leaving Lexi silently cursing to herself for not warning her in time.

"Goddamn it." She muttered.

Later, in arena after Zodavia announced Kaiguard and Taiguard…

"Hey, Taiguard!" Kaiguard exclaimed as he looked among the audience and noticed that Carnation was absent beside Paxitony. "What happened to my girlfriend!"

"You mean her?" Taiguard asked sarcastically as his tentacles revealed the unconcious Carnation limp in the back appendenges. "She's in some 'good' hands."

"If you hurt her, I'll…"

"You'll what? Fire that laser shit at me! You wish! Look! I'm makin' a lil' wager. Whoever wins, gets this sexy chick. Deal?"

Kaiguard was confused as to why Taiguard was plotting this, but either way…

"……………………deal… and you better not break this deal at the last minute, either!"

"Don't worry, bro." Taiguard telekinetically transported Carnation on the prize pedestal. "She'll be fine. Now, how about we start this?"

"Lets." After that was said, the two dragons got into their fighting stances and Taiguard started the fight by firing a plasma burst at his brother, knocking Kaiguard towards the ground on his back hard. When he was regaining his vision, Taiguard used his tentacles to strangle him as hard as he can. Kaiguard struggled to get himself free until he finally fired a laser from his chest, hitting Taiguard and knocking him backwards. After that happened, they were in a fist fight. Kaiguard scratched Taiguard's face to the point where it was bleeding with his scarred suit. Then, Taiguard used his tentacle to slap Kaiguard back along with a fierce scratch against his side, making his scream in pain with a roar as he fell, holding his bleeding side. Taiguard was about to strangle him again as he was phased, but Kaiguard became smarter than usual and operated his laserwings, firing 3 from one wing and 3 from the other simultaneously and they all hit Taiguard hard, knocking him towards the ground, sliding to the very edge of the arena. After the slide, he slowly sat up and saw Kaiguard flying towards Carnation in an attempt to free her, but Taiguard grew pissed as he used his stood on his two feet and formed up a huge plasma ball and fired it at the blue dragon, knocking him out.

"You think you can cheat, don't you, Kaiguard!" He screamed as he flew over to him and picked him up again, strangling him again. Kaiguard kept his eyes closed as he slowly used his right hand to reach for the formula Tech gave him in a needle and stuck it in his leg without Taiguard noticing. After the whole needle was inserted, he dropped the needle, making Taiguard freeze in puzzlement as he looked down at the object, then at Kaiguard, who slowly began to grow. This made Taiguard quickly release his tentacles as he watched his brother grow into a giant version of himself. When he was completely grown, he was indeed 30 times taller than what he was before with intense muscles and his voice improved as well, which was deep… really deep.

"Cheatin' is not what I do, you dumb bastard." He said smoothly as he looked down at his brother. Taiguard chuckled as he smiled.

"You came prepared, huh?" He asked cooly. "Well…" He pulled out a needle of his own. "…watch this." After that, he stuck himself, sending the formula into his bloodstream. After it was emptied, he grew into the same size and form as Kaiguard, growling with extreme anger. "Who's laughing now!"

"This'll be a great challenge for me. Let's finish this, bro. Carnation is mine and always will be!"

"Tell it to someone who gives a crap!"

After that was said, the two gigantic versions of the dragons began fighting in a part-wrestling, part-karate style. Kaiguard had the upper hand, due to the fact that his temporary laserwings were permanent as he used them to block punches from his evil brother. Taiguard then used his tentacles to grab Kaiguard by this arm and he flung him over his head, knocking him towards the pedestal where Carnation was being held, just tipping it until it was back to its stance, which woke her up. When Kaiguard got up to his feet and charged at Taiguard, Carnation was shocked at what she was seeing. She grew furious as she struggled to free herself from the chains that were binding her. Taiguard saw this from over Kaiguard's shoulder and roared loudly, abruptly stopping her from escaping.

"Don't make me eat those chains along with you, bitch!" He screamed. Carnation grew furious on the inside as she sat still again. Back in the fight, Kaiguard was about to bite his brother to catch him off guard, but Taiguard sensed it beforehand and wrapped a tentacle around his hand, sending hot plasma energy through his veins, burning him to death in the inside while he was screaming with extreme pain. Carnation saw this and decided to do the unexpected. She finaly broke herself free of her chains and started flying above the scene without Taiguard noticing. When she had full aim, she started forming a lavender-colored laser-lightning-plasma-lava mixed ball, which was guaranteed to be 50 times stronger than Taiguard's plasma and Kaiguard's laser put together. When it was at its full size, she held it as she prepared herself to fire.

"Oh, Taiguard?" She called from her location. Taiguard looked over to the empty pedestal, but didn't see the lavender dragon Loonatic. He then looked above him and gasped with shock. "Lookin' for me, baby?"

"How in the hell did you get up there?" He asked furiously.

"Let's just say I have ways… and my ways are a lot stronger than yours."

"Prove it!"

"Just what I wanted to hear. Adios, mi amigo!" After that was said, she fired her huge multi-energy sphere at him, completely missing Kaiguard, which was how she wanted it. When it hit the red evil dragon, there was a bright lavender flash in the whole arena. This was Carnation's chance to save Kaiguard and fly up to higher ground just in time for Kaiguard to change back to his normal form. When the flash finally disappeared, it showed Taiguard knocked out and back to his normal form. He had bloody bruises all over his body, having most of them being deep wounds in their own little pools of blood. The crowd was silent, including Slam, as they saw this. Carnation flew back down to the ground with the unconcious Kaiguard in her arms and settled him down gently as she landed on the ground. "Kaiguard? Kaiguard, are you okay?"

Kaiguard stirred a little, taking a shuttering breath of life as his green eyes fluttered weakly for a moment. When he saw Carnation's face, he showed a small smile before he replied to the question by passionately kissing her on the mouth. This made everybody in the audience finally cheer in celebration. Slam went completely crazy, hugging Danger in the process.

"Ugh! Slam! Let me go!" He exclaimed as he was hugged to death. Lexi, Ace, Tech, Paxitony, Emerald, Zappondellyo, Ryzakhanyo, Rev, and now, Pyrokyte chuckled at this display. Zappondellyo was surprised to see Pyrokyte laying next to Emerald.

"Well, well, well, Pyrokyte." He started as he saw the two ferrets next to each other in a loving manner. "Looks like you two really made a brotherly bond between each other. Will you two stay this way forever?"

"Yeah, now that I know how responsible I have to be to my younger twin brother." Pyrokyte replied as he hugged his brother. "I have my priorties straightened out now."

"Great."

Back in the arena…

Zodavia appeared between the unconcious Taiguard and Carnation and Kaiguard, who just slowly sat up.

"Congradulations, Kaiguard." She announced. "As a rewards for winning, you have a choice. You could either have Carnation and Taiguard or completely lose Taiguard and keep Carnation. The choice is yours."

Kaiguard looked around the audience until he spotted the Loonatics, Zappondellyo, Ryzakhanyo, Paxitony, Emerald, and Pyrokyte. Then, he looked at Carnation, who showed a smile, encouraging him to make his own choice. He then looked over at his unconcious brother, who was just opening his purple eyes. His eyes were glossy with tears of sadness and pain. Kaiguard's eyed started to get glossy as well when he saw this and made his decision in his mind…

The next day, in the Loonatics HQ…

It was a beautiful morning in Acmetropolis. Kaiguard, Ace, Ryzakhanyo, Tech, and Zappondellyo were all meditating in the same circle while Rev and Taiguard were playing some air hockey. Emerald and Pyrokyte were playing chess together in the kitchen while Slam was watching with confusion and Lexi was cooking breakfast with Carnation as she was talking with Zodavia from her headset.

"It was a deadly battle, but they managed, huh?" Lexi said as she flipping pancakes.

"Well, they are dragons, Lexi." Zodavia replied from the headset. "They have advantages for surviving battle like that."

"I never knew."

"How is everybody doing?"

"Just fine. The pair of twins have been getting along well and they haven't fought since last night."

"What are the pair of twins doing?"

"Well, Pyrokyte and Emerald are behind Carnation and I, playing chess together. Slam's watching them, but he confused as hell. Kaiguard's meditating with Tech, Ace, Zappondellyo, and Ryzakhanyo and Taiguard's playing air hockey with Rev. Everyone's doing fine."

"What about you and Zappondellyo's relationship?"

"You know about that?"

"Ace managed to tell me everything last night before bed."

"Well, our relationship got better. He asked me out on a date for tonight and damn! I'm excited."

"I've noticed. You're not nervous, are you?"

"Not really. My superhearing will come in handy."

"Hope so. Good luck on your date."

"Thanks."

Later, at breakfast…

"How did everybody do?" Lexi asked out of curiosity.

"Kaiguard's meditation style is very unique." Tech replied. "He uses his laser wings as his 'ego healer'. I told me that it really helps, but I'm still confused."

"Wow. Taiguard, how about you?"

"I beat Rev by a landslide!" Taiguard exclaimed happily. "I thought his super speed was helping, but it was my tentacles that stopped his last shot, makin' me score."

"Rev, what happened?" Ace asked with humor.

"Oh,-shut-up!" Rev moaned. "I-was-beaten-by-a-dragon! So-what?"

"Aw, stop poutin', Rev." Danger replied. "I was watching tv the whole time you all were doin' your own little thing and I didn't mind the winning."

"Of-course-you-didn't!"

"Don't worry about it, Rev." Lexi encouraged. "Just pretend it never happened. Pyrokyte, Emerald, how was the chess game?"

"I actually beat Pyrokyte." Emerald replied. "When he was down to his king and he moved his queen over towards my knight, I managed to use my rook and demolish his king."

"Cool. Now, Zappondellyo…"

"I know, I know." Zappondellyo came in, stopping Lexi. "Tonight's date. I already made reservations to Havino's Italian Cuisine. It was difficult, but I managed."

"You know I can't wait."

"I know, but just wait. The date'll be here faster that Rev could run."

So, after the pair of twins became loving couples to each other, they became temporary additional recruits of the Loonatics, giving the ferrets their own suits. As for Lexi and Zappondellyo's date, that will be the next chapie. Look out for it.
