Ryan slowly spun on the spot, keeping his eyes on as many clones as he could. It was the entire army verses him, so the odds won't be too good. His eyes narrowed as he decided on what clone he should attack first.

"Prepared to meet the fruit of your labours?" said Chase as he hovered above him.

"This is no fruit of my labour…" said Ryan "You just scrounged off my D.N.A. like a parasite!"

Ryan suddenly heard the scampering of feet behind him; he shot around and swung his sword as hard as he could. There was a thud as the body of one of the clones fell to the floor.

"You're reflexes have improved" said Chase "I was much older when I was able to do that"

Ryan sneered as he looked at the other clones; they seemed a bit more hesitant to attack Ryan. They were waiting to do a group attack.

"Any last words?" said Chase as he hovered above Ryan. Ryan thought for a moment as he looked up at him.

"Yeah…I have something" said Ryan "Who is my mother?"

Chase gave him a confused look.

"I have no idea what you are talking about" said Chase "You have no mother, you were cloned, remember?"

"Oh come now Chase" said Ryan "No secrets now, you finished you plans…now tell me, who is my mother?"

Chase raised an eyebrow as he looked down at him.

"Kronego said something about my mother" said Ryan "Who is she?"

"I know my word doesn't mean anything to you" said Chase "But I promise you I have no idea what you are talking about, you have no mother!"

The clones began to move on Ryan, each one was waiting for the moment Ryan would lower his guard.

"Enough talk" said Chase "Let me see how good you have become without your old man…"

Suddenly another clone charged at him, Ryan spun around and jabbed his sword right in its body. It fell to the floor faster than it ran at him. One by one, they charged at Ryan, but he managed to counter attack. One jumped into the air and landed on his back, Ryan grunted as he grabbed it and flung him into a clone that was charging directly at him. Two more grabbed his arms and a third came up to him from the front armed with finger razors, he was about to punch Ryan in the stomach, thus gutting him, but Ryan growled as he slammed his arms together. The two clones on his arms were flung into the third clone, knocking them to the floor. One charged at Ryan with a sword and swung it at him, Ryan dodged it be leaning over backwards, and the blade narrowly missed his nose. Ryan then roared as he stood up and sliced the clone like Swiss cheese. Suddenly a small wave of clones dived at him from the side; Ryan felt cold steel across his chest. He groaned as he fell backwards, blood oozed from his body and soaked into his shredded shirt and armour. He growl got louder as he reached behind his back and pulled out his Spear of Guan. He swung it hard, sending the clones flying over the crowd. Suddenly, every clone around him charged. Ryan shoved the spear into the ground and swung round and round it, his body became like a wrecking ball as his feet ran along the clones bodies, knocking them back. He swung his body around spear, dislodging it from the ground and into the air. He spun like a helicopter through the air, every clone in the area was looking up at him. They cleared a small space for him to land in, which he hit directly. He spun the spear around his fingers as he looked at the clones again. He went to attack again, when someone hit him from the side, the Spear of Guan went flying out of his arms and flew off into the crowd.

"Aww crap…" groaned Ryan, he swung his hands around, summoning his twin swords and made short work of the clone that hit him. He was about to attack again, when he felt a very sharp pain in right arm, her yelled as he felt a razor sharp blade slice through his arm. He spun around and saw that one of the clones had picked up his Spear of Guan to remove his arm.

Ryan screeched as he fell to the floor, blood now rapidly flowing from where his arm was. The pain screeched at him like a thousand blackboards, he felt his head become woozy as he slouched over, the ground was now painted in an unpleasant shade of crimson. His eyes became foggy as he looked up at Chase as he held his thumb out and gave the clone army the thumbs down sign. Ryan heard the sound of someone come up behind him, probably to finish him off. Ryan sighed as he closed his eyes, he had failed to protect the temple, and he had failed to protect Kimiko. He suddenly looked up as he heard the sound of high speed jet engines speeding towards him.

"What?" gasped Chase "What is this?"

Ryan tried to focus his eyes on what was coming; he could see the blurred image of a large red dragon shaped ship flying towards him.

"Is that…" gasped Ryan as his throat became breathless, "The Ark Angle?"

"Ryan!" cried Kimiko's voice over the Ark Angle's loudspeaker, "I've come for you!"

"Kimiko…" groaned Ryan "No…The Shen Gong Wu…"

"Ryan must not get away!" yelled Chase "Take down that ship!"

There was a hissing noise as the bay doors on the Ark Angle opened up, followed by a loud roaring noise as a huge monster jumped down from the ship. It landed on the clones and begun to demolish its way through the army.

"Mala Mala Jong?" groaned Ryan as the clones pushed past him so they could swarm over Mala Mala Jong, it roared as it blasted water, fire and thunder in all directions.

"Ryan! Oh no! Your arm!" gasped a worried voice; Ryan looked up as he felt arms around him. He looked up and saw the tear filled eyes of Kimiko looking down at him.

"Kimiko…" groaned Ryan "I told you…to not come back…"

"I couldn't leave you!" cried Kimiko as she cradled him in her arms, "Just say the word…And I'll be there for you…"

Ryan looked up as tears began rolling down his cheeks. Kimiko burst into tears as she nuzzled her head on his. They both looked up as they heard Mala Mala Jong roar, he fell to the ground as he was buried under thousands of clones. The Emperor Scorpion on Kimiko's wrist stopped glowing, signalling that Mala Mala Jong had been overpowered.

"Come on!" called Kimiko "We must get to the Ark Angle before…"

There was a loud crash as the Ark Angle fell from the sky, covered from top to bottom in clones. Kimiko whimpered as she saw every clone turn towards them. She closed her eyes as she clutched Ryan to her chest and waited for the end.

"Lasso Boa Boa!"

Kimiko looked up as she felt the Lasso Boa Boa wrap around her and Ryan, pulling them off the ground and away from the clones. She sighed with relief as she saw Clay pull them up onto the Sliver Manta Ray. Kimiko lowered Ryan onto the floor; his breathing had become very weak because of blood loss.

"Please Ryan…" begged Kimiko as she sat over his body, "Stay alive…"

"Let's get out of here!" yelled Clay as he closed the cockpit.

"What about the Wu?" said Omi "And Ryan's other arm?"

"We've lost it all" said Raimundo "Chase has all eight Elementa now…"

He looked over at Kimiko; she was ignoring everyone as she looked down at her one-armed boyfriend.

"Come on Ryan…" cried Kimiko as she shook him, "Hold on!"

The Silver Manta Ray shook as clones leapt all over it, it did a nose dive as it plummeted towards the earth.

"We're going down!" cried Dojo "Mayday! Mayday!"

Kimiko closed her eyes as she hugged Ryan tightly.

"I'll never let you go!" cried Kimiko as the Silver Manta Ryan hit the ground. Ryan couldn't say anything; his throat was too dry to speak. All he could remember was seeing thousands of clones swarm him and Kimiko, followed by the sounds of Kimiko screaming his name as she was dragged away from his arms. Tears stung his eyes as his mind fell into darkness.

The temple has fallen…Thousands of people are dead…Ryan's lost his arm…The monks have been captured…And Chase has now got all eight Elementa…R&R…
