This is going to be the shortest chapter ever of this fic.

Episode 15: Great Mistake, Solo Struggle

"This is it!" I shouted, in triumph. A part of me began to think this wasn't going to be such a great idea. After all, it was Lumina, sometimes unpredictable for a sword but still a sword.

I stood on the crest, prepared for whatever was about to happen, and tossed the sword into the air. The sword crashed onto the crest full force. Instead of the orange accompanied with the crash, instead it was black and blue.

"That isn't what's supposed to happen…!" I shouted, right as a giant purple portal appeared around the crest and shot up into the sky. Green strings floated there, before a black aura surrounded the strings, and then, the Wizard of Darkness, Dark Lumina in the flesh, rose from the crest.

It laughed maniacally, the laugh sounding all too familiar to me. It dawned on me…

That voice--! It was him! The wizard of darkness told me to do this… all of it. He was that guiding voice!

I gazed at the size of the red-skinned beast. It had a blue jewel in the center of its forehead, two black horns on the sides of it, looking about twenty feet tall.

The beast took one step, and crushed Team Powerpuff into pancakes.

"I… AM… FREE! NOW… NO… ONE… CAN… STOP… MY… PLANS… FOR… DESTRUCTION!" the beast spoke.

"I know now… the Wizard of Darkness wasn't sealed BY Lumina, but was sealed WITHIN Lumina! I've been doing all this to release the Wizard of Darkness! No wonder Brave Fencer Musashi had Crest Guardians protect the scrolls!" I concluded, with beads of sweat dripping from my forehead.

"IT KNOWS WE'RE HERE!" Sonic shouted out, almost sounding, for the first time in his life, fearful. Suddenly, before it could step on us, it began to change, a black sphere, complete with lightning, surrounding it, before the lower body changed, into a scaly green hue. Then the arms ripped forcefully off the torso, and a large, reptile-like tail grew from the waist. Two reptile arms, complete with long claws, grew out.

"Where's the--?" Amy was cut off by the ugly head of the beast coming from between the shoulder blades, some sort of fluids dripping from the newly created limbs, and the teeth were yellow, the jewel was still there.

"Both of you, stay over on the floor below this. It's my fault this thing is out…" I said, and they obliged, climbing from the hatch.

"I did all that to free the beast?" I hung my head, before a bout of rage swept through me, and I faced the beast, getting into a battle position.

"YOU'RE GOING TO GET IT NOW!" I shouted, head rearing up as I became a Super Saiyan 2.

Short, yes, but this is mainly about the release. The battle SHOULD last at least two more chapters after this one. Sooo R&R! Alright? I mean it! ALRIGHT?
