Thanks:

Neominitails: Good to know you enjoy the story, and I look forward to an update of your story.

The others: I know you're there. The amount of hits per chapter can't come from the three fans I know of. Thanks, if you really do exist...

Vania

Jutah's attack was swift and merciless. As the dark wall came down, he ran at Brandon and punched him hard in the chest, shattering a few ribs. His body was thrown into a large tree. Jutah then charged at Chaud, knowing to take out the strongest first. He grabbed his head and slammed his knee deep into it. The silver haired teen smashed his nose into the stone wall of the cave. Chaud fell to the ground, unconscious.

By this point, the others realized what was happening. Lan's claws appeared as he pulled up a large rock that had been sticking out of the ground. He jumped onto it and began ripping of smaller chunks and fired them at their attacker. "Take this, traitor!" Jutah dodged around the stones for a while, before raising the weapon on one of his arms and launched a small, purple device at the boulder. He then pressed a button on his weapon and the device, which turned out to be a bomb, blew up. It was a gravity bomb, which sucked everything into the centered point. Lan screamed as he was twisted around and around. When it was over, he was thrown to the ground, the rest of the boulder landing on him.

Sammy took his chance next. He spun his stretch grenade above his head and jumped into the air. "Raining Icicles!" the icy blades shot at Jutah, who focused his target laser on the grenade itself. He fired a red bomb onto it. After pressing the button once more, it blew up, revealing itself as a napalm bomb. The resulting fire easily melted the ice away, leaving a mist in the spot. The rope on which the grenade had been attached continued to fly at Jutah, who grabbed it and pulled Sammy towards him. When he arrived, a foot met his face.

Tracey and Ash attacked at the same time. The wind teen summoned a tornado, while the other set it on fire. Jutah saw this and fired two blue bombs and one purple bomb. He pushed the button on his wrist, which set off all three. The blue ones let loose water to put out the flames, while the gravity bomb countered the effects of the tornado. Ash and Tracey were also sucked in, going on the same ride that Lan had.

"Hey, bomb boy!" Mag had ran behind him and was now revealing the element he had control over: Nature. The multiple trees of the forest began to fly at Jutah from all directions. He began to spin in a circle and fire red bombs around him. Once again, he pressed the button, which caused the Napalm to form a wall of fire all around him, turning the trees to ash as they came into contact with the fire. "Uh oh." through the flames, a yellow bomb came at Mag. When it blew, it let loose a blast of electricity.

As all this happened, Tony and Gary looked on, dumbfounded. "And I thought I was good."

"Yeah. You had trouble fighting Chaud, but this guy took him out in a blink." Gary gulped. "I think Demitri won't be happy with us for being this weak."

"Don't worry about that." their leader said, having sneaked up on them. "Jutah was the top warrior in the past. In the universe where I found him, he was already a powerful fighter, unlike you."

"But what's his element?" Tony questioned. "All he's doing is using bombs."

"That's because he's a non-elemental. He has trained hard in all types, so it doesn't matter that he has none."

"I think we can move on now, master." Jutah said, landing in front of Demitri. Behind him lay the beaten members of the Netwarriors.

"Shouldn't we kill them first?" Gary asked.

"Not yet. If they die, my brother will just find more to try and stop us. Besides, we can beat them anytime we need to. Let's go." the quartet headed for the next dimension.

Antibase

The four villains appeared in the center of the room. It was a large warehouse, like the one in Crystal Tokyo, except there were many floors above it. This place was new to Gary and Tony. The latter asked, "What the heck is this hellhole?"

Suddenly, a whip came down from the ceiling and wrapped around his foot. He soon was face down on the floor, a tall and slightly buff teenager on top of him, holding the whip, now wrapped around Tony's throat. The assailant had steely gray hair and was wearing a jacket of the same color. Underneath that was a black shirt and brown pants. His most distinguishing feature was his eyes, which had an expression of burning into your soul. "No one speaks against the Antibase, home to the opposes of the light side.

"Who he hell is that guy!" Gary shouted.

A smile crept onto Demitri's face. "Unlike the two of you idiots, who couldn't even get one warrior, I was able to get two. You've met Jutah. This is Nathan Graves."

"Wait a minute." Tony exclaimed, having gotten to his feet. "I remember this guy. I saw a picture of him at Brandon's house." Nathan's foot swung up and crashed into Tony's jaw, sending him back to the ground.

"Never mention that fool's name around me. The only reason I joined you was to kill that bastard."

"Demitri, you might want to stop hiring psychopaths." Gary commented. Jutah fired a napalm bomb on his head and lit it up.

As Gary ran around trying to put out his hair, Demitri shook his head. "Listen, you two, as important as you are to this mission, I think I'll take just Jutah and Nathan." the three walked onto the Transport pad.

"But, boss!" the two yelled, but they were already gone.

Desola- The House

After a few hours of rest, the Netwarriors, who had been brought back by the least damaged, were rested and ready to go out again. Tracey was busy pinpointing the next place they should go. Eventually? "Pay dirt! I know where Demitri and his collective are."

"That's good, now tell us where that is?" Brandon said, like talking to a baby.

"Fine, thief." Brandon growled. "They're on the Final Hope."

"What universe is that?" Lan questioned.

"Final Hope."

"What?" Sammy asked, puzzled.

"In this universe, all planets and life have been wiped out. All that is left in the infinite existence of space is one ship, Final Hope." Tracey typed in a few commands. A picture appeared on the screen. He had a ghost white face and dull white hair. He was wearing pure white garments and was in a totally white room. The only part of him that wasn't white, were his eyes, a deep piercing blue. "This is Ghaleon. He is the lifeline of Final Hope. Like Molly, he has the element of metal, and he uses it to keep up repairs on Final Hope."

Mag chimed in. "If Demitri gets to that guy before us?"

"It doesn't matter who gets there first. Blood is thicker than water."

"What?"

"Ghaleon is the brother of Canute and Demitri."

Cyfra

Canute sighed, flipping the device in his hand shut. He had just been informed by The House's mainframe of Ghaleon being discovered on Final Hope. "Dang it, why him? Why now?"

"Don't let it bother you too much." Canute turned to meet topaz eyes, a dark smile on that face. "You knew you'd see him eventually."

"A family reunion isn't something I look forward to."

"Oh, you can't wait."

Canute smiled. "Yeah, I can't."

"You know, we're the worst enemies ever."

"Yep."

The topaz eyed youth disappeared, followed shortly by Canute.
