At last, Today is your last day on this planet Human."

Lance trembling with anger holds Mei's hand, which was the only thing that would calm his mind. He closes his eyes taking in the feeling of her hand. They were supposed to be in this together. Both of them promised they would do this together. But one of them had broke the promise. He takes one last look at her when the man remarked, "Have you finished your farewell Human?

You'll meet the same fate next"

"Don't be so sure" says Lance wiping his tears.

He leans in near Mei's ear supposedly whispering something to her whereas in reality his eyes were searching for the door.

"The door is still there, he doesn't know about the time machine. If I'm lucky I can activate right then" He ponders and looks at the open ground where there used to be a training facility right in front of them.

Black turns to where he is looking, wondering for a moment then grunting in a mocking manner.

"huh You want to fight me?, You continue to resist even though you know you can't win, that was something you should have accepted a long time ago.

"Tell me what would your mother think about you? Her dear boy defying a God. Denying Justice itself." Then Black looks at Mei laying limp and says indifferent with a serious tone "Don't worry, I'll send you after that girl in no time."

Lance starts gritting his teeth seeing the smirk Black's face return, he says softly whispers with his eyes closed, "Death is a blessing to these foolish humans"

He said it in a manner that he was superior to this pathetic race. That was all Lance could handle, he finally lost it. No one could stop him now.

He raised his ki to its max creating a large aura around him his eyes glowing bright.

"You bastard... YOU BASTARD! HOW DARE.. HOW DARE YOU DO THAT TO US!"

He lunged from his cover onto Black's position at the speed of a bullet train and flew up where he stood with his hand landing on his stomach like a bullet taking Black down the cliff with him and his fist.

He then stomps his left foot from behind and before he could fall kicks him in the back launching him upward, he flys back up and punches every inch of his stomach and chest all the while Black's eyes are wide open and his mouth is open in the shape of a laugh only thing is, no sound is coming from him. He is eating the attacks with a quiet laugh plastered on his face.

It's wasn't like the attacks weren't having an affect, he could sense his power depleting but not depleting quick enough, Lance's stamina was draining fast or at least it was fast in comparison to his opponent who was just floating there taking everything thrown at him.

Suddenly the ring on Black's right hand starts glowing. He blocks Lance's hand diverting it's momentum to his left and kicks him in to the entrance of the watchpoint. Lance regains his footing before he collides and both of them fly to each other in a one on one battle of skill. Black kicks him into the ruble making a large hole in it and shot 5 blasts in quick succession in the hole holding his enemy who couldn't escape.

When the dust settles Lance walked out, holding his left arm in with his other hand, falling to his knees, bruised and battered.

"Is that all? Black asked disappointingly,

"A rather pathetic ending to such a proud organization, wouldn't you say. "

The injured young man looks at the sky, helplessness evident in his eyes, as Black prepares a Giant ball of energy "Say goodbyeee." is all he says with a glimering look in his eyes as Lance falls back slowly when he stumbles on a sharp instrument on his feet, his eyes dart across and sure enough it was Genji's sword. The one he lost during the Evacuation of the city.

"Heh, Let's see how strong Shimada clan's sword truly is" he threw it at Black startling him

"wait Wha?!"

as his focus got distracted and the ball of energy blew in his hand. This was his chance Lance knew that as he leapt and catched the sword and put it in the huge Sheath at his back. The explosion's became clear by the electric aura of Black and he was FRUSTRATED.

Before he could find that rat he heard him yell from behind "MASENKO!" [Demon Flash] which released a giant beam of light at Black and he was prepared to deflect it when suddenly it grew as bright as the sun and he was forced to close his eyes while the beam consumed him and detonated with him still being inside. It was a good 10 seconds before he flew out of the explosion. But Lance was nowhere.

Black was getting annoyed at this point, even Tracer was easier than this, and she always recalled out to escape his attacks, until he learned the time limit of her recall of course. One day during another evac mission he threw a beam at one of the citizens when Tracer blinked him out of the way and recalled back only to find Black standing in front of him. He knew exactly where she would recall back to. And with his hand over her head as he said "You are an annoying kid you know that luv?" and she disintergrated in a flash of light. This time for good. Black shrugged those fond memories aside and continued his search for the coward.

Lance inside the underground launch pad

He shut the door activating all security protocols. Hell he even activated self destruction failsafe if anyone else tries to harm the door because he is willing to do damn near everything so that the machine doesn't get in Black's hands.

Once he felt he was safe for now he sat on the chair in the testing room of the lab and drank water from the emergency cabinet Angela put in just in case.

" I made it," He pondered while panting, "we started off as 3, now it's just me but at least it wasn't for nothing. I hope. I don't have much time, I have to move quickly. "

One hour later

He was still in deep pain from his dislocated shoulder which the prolonged the launch preparations The medical supplies in the base had finished a while ago so he couldn't treat himself. He had to calibrate the machine for the jump and it was ready.

"Let's hope this thing doesn't fall apart during the transmission. "

When he was done, he took a glance at the family photo posted on the wall of the main hallway right before the launch area. "I will come back. I promise. To all of you. And if I don't, perhaps the world was right. I am a freak with powers. I could have ended this but I showed Mercy (no pun intended)but not anymore. Too many people have lost their lives. Next time I will won't Mercy."

He activated the power up phase, took Genji's sword out of the Sheath to take out the fuel container he hid at the bottom of the Sheath.

He took hold of the container with heavy eyes, too many nightmares were endured to obtain that small amount of fuel. He poured every last drop into the machine but doing such work was making his arm increasingly painful.

With everything ready he hopped in the pod, he put in the date

"Shit they never told me when they originally disbanded, what year do I go to? screw it I don't have time let's go to where MEI lways wanted to go 17th March, 2070.

A voice resemblimg Athena spoke *launch initiation needs 25 m height min. for takeoff.*

"Are you shitting me? OK whatever initiate launch. "

*initiating launch, commencing opening of roof*

Outside the lab, Black was floating in the air, his legs crossed in a sitting position, he had been meditating for the past hour. With the increased focus he could sense anyone on the planet."I can sense you are still here, there is no point in hiding."

*sound of roof opening*

"I'll give you credit though human, you are the only one who actually tried to hide from me. All the Other stupid members of your group just ran around wasting their breath struggling. Too bad this game ends here"

He prepares a special lighteming blast in his hands. This wasn't meant for just a building, it was for a whole state.

Lance took a deep breath and mumbling "Please forgive me" as he fired a blast at the secret door from the inside just as he was out from the lab which triggered the protocol and the whole watchpoint exploded from under their feet.

"Wha-?" was all Black could say and that was all the distraction Lance needed as he thrusted upwards in the air with the time machine making whirring noises.

Black quickly refocused saw the young man in the pod and frowned

"You can't escape in such a flying device".

He shot the beam in his hands but just before it was about to hit him Lance saw himself and the machine Teleport into a dark tunnel. He opened his eyes expecting certain doom but found himself in an endless void. For the first time in a long time he felt relieved. This was it, this was the void his mom and his gorilla uncle theorized about. Now all he had to do was wait. He didn't know for how long.

He couldn't take the pain anymore and felt his skin burning with fever but their were no medical supplies in here. All he could was wait the suffering out. He kept his eyes shut until sleep took him.
