53: Ryan Annihilation

Control room…

0:18:09 till Cannon fire…

"Uhh…Ryan?" said Raimundo "Kimiko?"

"Mmm…" sighed Kimiko in mid kiss.

"Ryan?" said Raimundo.

"Oh yeah…" said Ryan to Kimiko, making her giggle as they continued kissing.

"Ryan!" said Raimundo "What do we do now?"

Ryan sighed as he and Kimiko broke apart and looked at the others.

"Oh…Sorry guys…" said Ryan "Kind of got lost in the moment…"

"That's nice…" said Clay "But what do we do now?"

Ryan looked down at Hannibal; he was out cold but still breathing.

"We get out of here" said Ryan "When Hannibal comes to, he will take the Fake Tesla Dynamo to the Reactor and blow it up for us while we escape!"

"Okay!" said Omi as they turned around, "Let's go!"

They were about to leave the room when they saw that the door was still blocked with clones, but none of them were moving, just staring at them.

"Uhh…" said Raimundo "What's going on?"

"There staring at us like sheep…" said Clay "Creepy…cloned sheep…"

Ryan looked down at Hannibal; he was still wearing the Chaos Helmet. He then walked up to Guardian Angel, he had the same dazed look in his eye that Hannibal had.

"Hannibal controls Guardian Angel" said Ryan "Guardian Angel controls the clones, if Hannibal is out cold, so is Guardian Angel"

Omi stepped up to one of the clones and waved his hand in front him, he didn't move, not even blink.

"Come on partners" sighed Clay as he pushed past the clones into the corridor, "I haven't had anything to eat for ages!"

"Yes, let us all head home for now until we plan our next move!" said Omi.

"You go on ahead" said Ryan as he bent over Jack, "We'll catch up with you, start up the Ark Angel for us, but leave the real Tesla Dynamo for me with Rai"

Omi, Chucky and Dojo nodded as he ran off after Clay, leaving Raimundo with the Real Tesla Dynamo, Kimiko and Ryan in the room. Ryan looked up from Jack and looked up at Guardian Angel; he narrowed his eyes at the giant monster.

"Ryan?" said Kimiko "You okay?"

"Yeah…" said Ryan "It's just…This thing here…He is who I am…"

"No Ryan" said Kimiko "You are who you are"

Ryan smiled as he held her hand.

"Your life isn't for someone else" said Kimiko as she rested her head against his and looked out the window at Earth, "You live for yourself, do what you want to do…"

"Kimiko, I want my life to be for someone else" said Ryan as he looked out the window too.

"Who?" said Kimiko. Ryan smiled as he turned to her.

"Who do you think?" said Ryan as he lent forward, kissing her softly.

"Aww…" said Kimiko as they both turned towards Raimundo, "Yeah, your right, we do live for other people, but for love, not evil"

Ryan smiled as he nodded in agreement and put his arm around her waist.

"For love…" said Ryan to himself, "Not for evil…"

"Only because you failed at evil!" said a dark voice behind him. Everyone gasped as they turned around and saw Hannibal on Guardian Angel, both of them awake and both of them staring at them with yellow eyes.

"Ryan!" yelled Hannibal "You're mine!"

Ryan saw Guardian Angel raise one of his tentacles to press a button, Ryan suddenly in the blink of an eye, shoved Kimiko away from him, just as a large glass pod enclosed around him, trapping him.

"Ryan!" gasped Kimiko as she leapt to her feet and ran to the glass pod.

"Ha ha ha ha!" laughed Hannibal "Did you really think that you could trick me?"

"Well the thought did occur to me" said Ryan "Bean for brains!"

"Oh really?" said Hannibal as he held up the Tesla Dynamo that Ryan gave to him, "Did you really think that I would fall for a fake Wu?"

"But…But how did you know?" said Ryan as he looked at him through the glass pod. Hannibal looked at Guardian Angel.

"We get out of here" mimicked Guardian Angel in Ryan's voice, "When Hannibal comes to, he will take the Fake Tesla Dynamo to the Reactor and blow it up for us while we escape!"

"Damn it!" yelled Ryan as he began punching the glass walls of the pod, trying to break out. Kimiko and Raimundo rushed to his aid and began to punch the pod too.

"I will eject the pod into space" said Hannibal "Once it clears the Shadow Ecliptis…BANG! Ryan will be blown to smithereens!"

Upon hearing this, Ryan, Raimundo and Kimiko began to hit the pod faster and harder.

"Come on!" yelled Kimiko as she doubled her effort, "Keep trying! Don't worry Ryan; I'm going to get you out!"

Ryan looked at her, she seemed so determined to get him out. Ryan bashed the glass again; it looked like it was shockproof, and shatterproof. He stepped away from the glass and looked at the ground. He sighed as he looked at Raimundo, he could see by the look in Ryan's eyes that it was hopeless, so he stopped hitting the pod.

"Ryan! Raimundo!" cried Kimiko "Don't give up! Keep going! We will get you out of there…"

"Kimiko…" said Ryan.

"I'm not giving up!" cried Kimiko.

"Kimiko" said Ryan.

"I can do it!" yelled Kimiko; tears were falling from her eyes.

"Kimiko, please" said Ryan "You can stop now…"

"No!" cried Kimiko as she lent on the glass and slid down it. The three of them looked up as they heard the machines around the pod began to whirr and hiss, preparing to fire Ryan into space. Kimiko pushed her face against the glass, trying to get as close to Ryan as she could, Ryan sighed as he did the same.

"Well Ryan?" said Hannibal "Any last words?"

"Yes…" said Ryan as he looked up at Raimundo, "Rai? Take care of Kimiko for me; finish what I have started…I'm counting on you"

"I will…" said Raimundo. Ryan turned to Kimiko as she went back to banging on the glass pod again with tears streaming down her face.

"Before you go Ryan" said Hannibal as a tube lowered itself towards him, "Take this fake Tesla Dynamo with you to your grave!"

The tube sucked the fake Tesla Dynamo up and blew it into the pod where Ryan caught it.

"Guardian Angel!" said Hannibal "Fire!"

Ryan turned to Kimiko again; she had slid right down to the floor where she was still hitting the pod in a tantrum like fit.

"Goodbye Kimiko…" said Ryan. The machines around Ryan hissed as the pod sank into the floor, there was a loud bang as Ryan was ejected into space. Kimiko scrambled to her feet as she ran to the window, she whimpered as she saw the pod tumbling through space as it headed towards Earth.

"RYAN!" screamed Kimiko as she banged on the window with her fists.

Outside the Shadow Ecliptis…

0:15:04 till Cannon fire…

Ryan held on to the sides of the pod as it shot towards Earth, he could see the timer for the pod detonation at his feet, counting down to his doom in ten seconds. The pod shuddered, sending Ryan falling to the floor.

"Damn it!" groaned Ryan "Never thought I'd go out with this…"

"10…"

He looked at his feet; he could see the fake Tesla Dynamo rolling around on the floor.

"9…"

He bent over and looked at it; it looked just like the original.

"8…"

"The fake Tesla Dynamo has the same energy types and properties" echoed Chucky's voice in his head as Ryan picked it up, "But is less powerful than the real one"

"7…"

"If this has the same properties…" said Ryan "I could…No, I couldn't…Could I?"

"6…"

"It's a long shot…" said Ryan as he strapped the fake Tesla Dynamo to his arm, "But it's all I got…"

"5…"

Ryan pushed the orb on the fake Tesla Dynamo and it popped out, he could feel energy building up inside him, but it wasn't as powerful as the real one.

"4…"

"Last chance…" said Ryan.

"3…"

He began to charge up power in his body, slowly it built up around him.

"2…"

"I got one shot at this…" said Ryan "I can do it!"

"1…"

"SINGALA SPECTRU-"

BOOOOOOM!

Control room…

0:14:54 till Cannon fire…

There was a bright flash that lit up the sky as the pod exploded with a loud bang, shards of metal and glass spread out from the smoke of the explosion. Hannibal grinned as he looked at Kimiko; she had her hands cupping her mouth in horror at what she saw.

"Guardian Angel?" said Hannibal as he grinned at him, "Results?"

Guardian Angel looked at the results of the explosion on a computer screen in his metal sphere.

"There are zero signs of life" said Guardian Angel "Target has been eliminated"

"Farewell Ryan…" said Hannibal as he looked back out the window, "My worthy adversary…"

"NO!" wailed Kimiko as she burst into tears and fell to her knees, "RYAN!"

"Now then" said Hannibal "The real Tesla Dynamo!"

Guardian Angel signalled to the clones that snapped out of their mindless stare and advanced on Raimundo. They searched through his robes till they found the Tesla Dynamo. Hannibal grinned as he saw the Tesla Dynamo get closer to him.

"Now that I finally have all eight Elementa and Ryan has been permanently disposed of" said Hannibal as he laughed evilly, "I'm off the Eclipse Reactor to give it maximum power! But do not fear, I'll leave you in the very capable hands of Guardian Angel, Destroy them!"

Kimiko gasped as she looked up at Guardian Angel, two large metal legs grew out of the side of his sphere, lifting him into the air. Two metal claws came out of the side like arms as he stomped towards Kimiko.

"To-do-loo!" waved Hannibal as he disappeared off to the Reactor Room.

"Your boyfriend's dead Kimiko!" roared Guardian Angel as he towered over Kimiko in his new sphere-mech, "You're next!"

He raised his large foot to crush her, but Raimundo dashed and grabbed her, rolling her out of harms way.

"Raimundo…" said Kimiko as she looked up at him.

"Ryan's depending on us" said Raimundo as he stood up to face Guardian Angel, "Ryan last wish was for us to survive and finish what we started! I won't let him down! I won't give up!"

Kimiko said nothing as she closed her eyes.

"Oh Ryan…" thought Kimiko as tears rolled down her cheeks, "I can't believe you're gone…"

"Very well Raimundo!" said Guardian Angel as he towered over him, "I may as well kill you first!"

Ryan's dead! Blown up in a tiny pod in outer space…What a way to go…Anyway. Kimiko and Raimundo are in danger of being destroyed by Guardian Angel, Hannibal has all eight Elementa…Is this the end? R&R!
