Near the Ibis Cannon…
0:04:31 till Cannon fire…
Ryan climbed down a ladder which took him out onto the face of the Shadow Ecliptis. He looked out into the vastness of space; Earth was in the distance. He looked up and saw the Ibis Cannon looming over Earth in the distance. He groaned as he saw that the only way to get to it was to cross a very, very, very long walkway that went through a large air bubble that stretched between the building Ryan was in and the cannon itself.
"Aww man…" groaned Ryan "Why did I have to pick the walkway that's the longest…"
He grumbled to himself as he climbed down the building onto the walkway, it seemed to go as far as the eye could see, but then again the Shadow Ecliptis was one third the size of the moon and this walkway probably went from one side to the other.
"Well…" sighed Ryan as he stepped onto the walkway which was the size of a road, "Looks like I have to run there…Time for me to…"
"You never stop surprising me, boy…" said a voice behind him. Ryan spun around to see Chase leaning against the wall of the walkway.
"Chase" said Ryan "What are you doing here?"
"I should be asking you the same question" said Chase as he walked beside him, "I thought that pod you were in exploded in space?"
"Well…" said Ryan as he smirked and walked alongside him, still keeping his distance, "I just can't seem to die, can't I?"
"But how did you survive?" said Chase "Your Wudai Overdrive would of protected you from space, but the explosion would of killed you"
Ryan's grin got bigger as he held the fake Tesla Dynamo in his hand so Chase could see the "Made in Hong Kong" sign.
"But that's a fake?" said Chase "How did you…"
Ryan's grin kept on getting bigger as he looked at Chase's clueless face.
"So you're not just any clone of mine…" said Chase as they both went from walking into a jog, "Just who are you?"
"I'm more than just a person…" said Ryan as they both speed up, going from a jog to quite fast running, "The ultimate warrior! Ryan Young!"
"I see…" said Chase as they both went faster, "But you know, I can't let you destroy the Ibis Cannon…"
"Why not?" said Ryan "You finally sided with Beanie Baby?"
"No, I will take care of Hannibal…" said Chase "After I've taken care of you!"
Ryan looked ahead as he and Chase travelled at top speed side by side towards the Ibis Cannon; the walkway ahead had no roof or side panels, so Ryan would have to watch his step when they got there. As they both shot across the walkway, Ryan looked up and gasped, he never really looked at how big the Shadow Ecliptis really was. He then looked to his side; Chase was glaring at him as they ran side by side.
"This is it Chase!" said Ryan as he glared back, "Time to finish this! Once and for all!"
"You think you can take me?" said Chase "I created you! Heylin power! Chaos Blast!"
Chase summoned a bolt of black lighting and threw it at Ryan, he dived through it and rolled across the floor, narrowly evading it as the energy blast hit the walkway and made a huge burn mark in the metal.
"Oh yeah?" yelled Ryan as he managed to catch up with Chase, "You're not going to stop me!"
He clapped his hands together, creating a large ball of electricity in his hand.
"Wudai Supernova Thunder!" yelled Ryan as he flung it at Chase. The ball of electricity exploded in front of Chase, shaking the whole walkway and almost tipping Chase over the edge and into space.
"So, you have become more powerful…" said Chase as he summoned black energy to his fist, "I rarely underestimate people…But for you Ryan…I made an acceptation…"
"Big mistake!" said Ryan as he summoned yellow energy to his fist, "You thought you knew everything about me…You're wrong!"
"You have become far powerful than I even dreamed you would become!" yelled Chase "That is why you must die! Chaos Blast!"
"Oh yeah?" yelled Ryan "Well you can't stop me! I'm going to take you down, and then I'm stopping Bean head! Wudai Supernova Thunder!"
Chase and Ryan roared as they punched each other, their fists, buzzing with dark and electric energy, touched and caused a huge explosion which flung Ryan and Chase to the ground. They bounced and rolled across the walkway, Ryan tried to stop himself but his slid right of the edge of the walkway. Hanging on for dear life, he slowly pulled himself back on. He gasped as he looked up and saw Chase standing over him with a dark grin on his face.
"Bye bye Ryan…" said Chase as he raised his fist, "This time, you will die!"
Suddenly the platform began to tip over, they both gasped as they say their explosion had blown a huge hole in the walkway, and with nothing left holding it up, it was slowly falling down to Earth.
"Uh oh…" said Ryan as the walkway became a steep slope, "Run!"
Ryan and Chase both leapt up onto the next section of the walkway, just as the last piece fell to Earth. The piece they were on slowly began to fall down too; they both went back to running at top speed as the walkway behind them began to collapse behind them.
Ryan looked over at Chase as he ran slightly ahead of him; he ducked as Chase lobbed three balls of black energy over his shoulder at him. Ryan grinned as he picked up speed and ran behind Chase. He suddenly dived at him, his arms wrapping around Chase's legs.
"What the?" gasped Chase as he fell to the floor. Ryan planned ahead, before his body hit the floor, he curled up into a ball and rolled over Chase's body. When his feet landed on the ground, he sprung back to his feet and ran off at top speed. Chase growled as he got to his feet, but stopped as the platform began to tilt away from him. He tried to scramble up the platform, but he was too late, it fell to Earth with him on it.
"Oh yeah!" cheered Ryan as he punched the air, "I rule!"
"Heylin Warp Portal!" yelled a voice. There was a bright flash as Chase appeared right in front of him.
"What the!" gasped Ryan. Before he could react, Chase punched him hard, sending him flying over the edge of the walkway.
"You put up a good fight" said Chase "But you are no match for me"
Ryan fell through space as he tried to activate his wind chi, but there was no wind in space. Ryan fumbled in his shirt as he pulled out the fake Tesla Dynamo and strapped it to arm.
"I did it once!" yelled Ryan "I'll do it again! Singala Spectrumise!"
There was a bright flash as Ryan became his element, as electricity was attracted to metal, he could pull himself back to the metal platform where Chase was running to avoid the falling walkway. He bolted through the metal in front of him and solidified, surprising him.
"What! Ryan?" gasped Chase.
"Yep!" said Ryan as he ran beside him, "Me again! Bet you didn't know I could do that?"
Chase roared as he tried to punch Ryan, he managed to block it and counter with another punch which struck Chase quite hard. Ryan swung his fist at Chase again; it hit him hard in the stomach. Chase gasped as he stumbled and tripped, in a last attempt to take Ryan with him he punched him again, but Ryan was way ahead of him and knew how he could finish the job.
"Repulse the Monkey!" yelled Ryan as he flipped Chase over the side. Ryan looked over the edge as he watched Chase fall through space. There was another bright flash as Chase warped back to the platform.
"My, my, my…" said Chase as they both went back to running at top speed to avoid the falling walkway, "You definitely have improved, boy…"
"I not a boy anymore!" said Ryan "I've grown beyond you plans…I now have what it takes to take you, Bake Bean and this space station down!"
"Even though Hannibal is controlling the place" said Chase as he lunged at Ryan again, "I can't let you destroy the Ibis Cannon, for I wish to use it myself!"
"Well tough!" said Ryan as he managed to evade his attack easily, "I'll take this place to the scrap yard if I have too! And you're going down too!"
The fight between father and son, the winner decides whether or not the cannon will be destroyed or not…R&R!
