Chapter 9: The ultimate trophy
This is the ultimate battle between Ky Stax and Lokar, the fate of the city and the world was depending on it.
-"You will regret for interfering, brat!" Lokar said and he shot one of his attacks at him, but Ky jumped away and he activated his cloaking system.
-"Try to kill what you can't see, old man!" Ky said and he used his speargun to shoot Lokar.
-"I don't need to see you to find you." Lokar said and he made the ground to shake until he broke the water system so many water drops were falling from the roof, and unfortunately Ky's cloaking system started to fail since the technology of the cloaking system is vulnerable to the water so as long as the water falls, Ky can't turn invisible.
-"Goddamn it! Okay…let's think." Ky thought and he knew that Lokar was so powerful that even his projectile based weapons like the plasmacaster and the smart disc won't work against him.
-"Hey! Don't you have honor? If you do, how about a single hand to hand combat?" Ky said as he grabbed his combistick and his wristblades.
-"Ky, what are you doing?" Maya asked.
-"Don't worry, I got this…you stay back and you'll be safe." Ky said but as much as Maya didn't want to, she couldn't interfere with a battle that wasn't hers.
-"Fine, if you wish to die by having your face in the ground…so be it." Lokar said.
When the battle started Ky proved to have more skill in the hand to hand combat, but yet again the shadow kairu energy around Lokar made him almost invulnerable against any blow Ky made.
-"Ugh, there must be a way to defeat him." Ky thought and then he remembered what Blade, the creature that saved his life when he fell from the waterfall, had taught him.
-"you must never underestimate your opponent in combat, and if you expect to succeed then first you must analyze his weakness and use it against him."
Then Ky used his thermal vision to analyze any weakness in Lokar, then he found the answer…it was the circle in his chest! Because after Lokar returned he looked more like a cyborg and the circle in his chest may provide him vital energy. Then Ky grabbed a plasma mine and threw it at Lokar's chest.
-"AGH!" Lokar shouted in pain as electricity and shadow kairu were coming out of his chest alongside with blood.
-"Don't fall asleep, old man. The party's just getting started." Ky said as he used his combistick and threw it at Lokar's chest to damage him even more.
-"AAGHH! You insolent kid!" Lokar yelled and Ky stabbed the master of darkness three times with his wristblades, now Ky was already defeated and he was kneeled and in critical state.
-"You won't get out of this so easily, my forces will hunt you down." Lokar declared.
-"Go on sent them, I don't care because I'm the real hunter around here." Ky said.
-"You think you saved this city and the world? HAHAHAHAHAHA!" Lokar laughed.
-"I'm not doing this just for this city or the world; I'm also doing it so you will leave Maya alone…and I'll say this once: You will never control her." Ky said and then he turned around to see Maya who nodded her head in agreement of what Ky was about to do.
-"It's time to say good night."
Then Ky used his wristblades and ripped off Lokar's skull and spine…now the master of darkness was gone for good.
-"It's over." Ky said taking off his mask but someone ambushed him and Maya.
-"I don't think so Ky." Zane declared entering the area and he picked up Lokar's X-reader.
-"With Lokar gone…I, his successor the almighty Zane will control the city and the planet, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Zane said laughing maniacally and he jumped away.
Ky knew he had to stop him but first, he needed to get ready for the final battle and most importantly…get Maya to safety.
Later Ky and Maya had left the area and reached Ky's ship underground where Maya was amazed for the technology and designed of the place, she also saw Ky putting Lokar's skull and spine in the trophy wall.
-"Are those your trophies? Maya asked curious.
-"Yep, these are the skulls of the boss, the alpha male, Vexus, Hexus and Nexus…plus now having Lokar's skull on it." Ky said and he was charging all the weapons he needed.
-"I just want to know…I know about your origins as the hunter, who was your master and about the code of honor stuff. But what I wanna know is what made you become such a bloody hunter?" Maya asked.
-"There's no hunting, like the hunting of a man. And those who've hunted armed men long enough, and like it…never really cared for anything else thereafter." Ky said.
-"Wow…that's pretty poetic." Maya commented.
-"I know, I read it on a magazine." Ky said as he opened a secret door on the wall where all of his hunter gear was.
-"I can't let Zane to be on the loose slaving people and playing with Lokar's power, I have to stop him." Ky said and once he was ready he led Maya to the pilot's seat.
-"Write the coordinates you need and the ship will take you back to the monastery." Ky said as he putted his red mask back on.
-"Wait, where are you going?" Maya asked.
-"I'm going to stop Zane once and for all." Ky said.
-"I'm not letting you go alone." Maya said.
-"No, you have to get back to the monastery…besides; this is something I have to do by myself." Ky said but he could feel Maya's sadness.
-"Maya, please…I have to do this; I promise I'll come back." Ky said and Maya took his mask off and kissed him.
-"And I'll be waiting for you." Maya said and Ky left to fight Zane and put an end to the tyranny that's infecting this city, the skies were getting dark and with thunders meaning that the final battle is getting closer.
