It was horrible to see. The waves of the sea where going higher and higher. The earth was partly shaking. And around where Zhyrmar's creatures.

"Attention people of Manhattan" something said. There on top of the highest building stood Zhyrmar. "I am Zhyrmar. And these disasters are my doing. If you want them to stop you will listen to me" he says.

"NEVER" someone shouted. Zhyrmar looked to the nearby building and saw Elwood standing on top of it.

"We will never listen to you Zhyrmar. A monster like you doesn't deserve to be a leader. You don't ever deserve to live" he said.

Zhyrmar laughs "but you can't defeat me Elwood. I'm almighty" he says.

Elwood laughs to "you think so. But I have friends. Hit it guys" he yells and his friends begin to fight Zhyrmar's creatures.

"Fine if you want to play it that way. Striker" Zhyrmar yelled and the assassin appeared on the same building as Elwood.

"Your going to pay for killing Lord Strongwood wardrobe" Striker says. Elwood makes strange hand movements "well actually I didn't kill him, Joe did" he says nonchalant.

With Pamela and TAB….

TAB and Pamela hid themselves from the battle to think of a plan. The two couples came with them to.

Everyone got an arm cannon from the band.

"Listen closely everyone. The disaster occur for as long as Zhyrmar is in contact with his machine. What we need to do is get him of that building and destroy the machine quickly" Meph says.

"Why can't we just destroy the machine with Zhyrmar on it?" Jane asked. "Because if we destroy it when its in contact with someone it will destroy the building and kill innocent lives" Rubix said.

"Oh" Jane said. They wanted to go out of hiding but a sudden whiplash stopped them dead in their tracks.

It was Sulk.

"You're trough" he said. He lashed out and grabbed Alice around her waist. Joe grabbed her before Sulk threw them against the wall. Joe quickly got up and ran to the judge.

"This is for raping my girlfriend" he said and kicked the judge in the gut. Causing him to fall down.

"Joe. We need your help now" Meph said. And as much as he wanted to kill Sulk. He went with his friends.

With Elwood….

Elwood was in a big sword fight against Striker.

James was trying to sneak up behind, Elwood saw but paid no attention to Verger. A surprise attack.

"In school you also where a loser. And you still are" Striker says. "Really. I don't remember much of that" Elwood says.

James now behind Striker gives a hand sign to Elwood. Elwood nods and throws his sword to him.

Striker instantly turns around and with that James slices the sword right trough his head. Strikes cries out in pain and James lets go of the sword. Leaving Striker to tumble off the building to his dead.

Elwood and James shake hands and he says "nice work Mr. Verger. Now let's get Zhyrmar" he says.

I know short chapter. But in the next chapter, the second part of the final battle we will see Maya against Sulk once again. And this time Elwood and James go to confront Zhyrmar. Find out in the next chapter.
