Disclaimer: I do not own anything, expect the OCs. This is just a story for fun.

Doctor Princess found herself on a plateau with some mountains off in the distance. Before her and her captives were a few cherry tress and some kind of shrine with a massive Ryoanj, otherwise known as a hanging bell in the center. Sleepy Sam handed Doctor Princess over to Mitsuhid and he carried her over to one of the trees, which had Skelton Princess tied to it. Mitsuhid set Doctor Princess down and tied her to the tree. The clone then turned around to face Sleepy Sam and pointed South.

"Tobe and Django will be arriving shortly at the lake near the this mountain. Your job is to attack them."

Sleepy Sam nodded his head and hopped off to do Mitshuid's bidding. Mitshuid then turned to the shrine and pulled out some black leather boots with large silver Spurs on them. The clone put the boots on before he pulled out his shamisen, took a seat on the shrine's floor, and began playing a little tune on it. The two captives looked at one another.

"Don't worry, Tobe and Django are on their way here and it'll take more then an overgrown robotic frog to stop them." Said Doctor Princess.

"That may be, but I'm more concerned about how they'll handle that Mitshuid guy. His giving off a weird vibe." Said Skeleton Princess as she watched Mitshuid.

A few miles away, Tobe and Django had just meet up and were arriving at a large lake. The two heroes looked past the lake and saw a path leading up a mountain through a forest. They were fixing to move on, but Tobe caught a slight bit of movement from the lake. The ninja grabbed Django and jumped back from the lake, taking his friend with him. A split second, later a large metal frog tongue shot out of the water and smashed into the ground, where the heroes once stood. The tongue was reeled back into the lake and out hopped Sleepy Sam.

"Mitshuid ordered me to attack the two of you." Said Sleepy Sam.

"It appears that our enemy has set up a little welcoming party, to warm us up." Said Tobe as he pulled out his swords.

"I can still see a spirit trapped inside that thing. Disgusting. The organization turned this creature into a machine and stripped it of it's free will. All Sleepy Sam is a hollowed shell with a spirit trapped inside. Killing this thing will allow that spirit to be free." Said Django as he turned his guitar into a scythe.

The warriors faced the robot. Sleepy Sam opened, his mouth and a swarm of robotic flies flew out and at the two heroes. Django's scythe glowed red with energy as he swung it and released a bright red wave of energy that destroyed the flies and raced towards Sleepy Sam. The robot leaped over the attack and into the air, attempting to land and crush Tobe and Django, underneath its weight. Tobe and Django jumped out of the way as Sleepy Sam crashed to the ground. Tobe conjured up a ice ninja star and hurled it at Sleepy Sam's left eye, hitting it and making it exploded into a shower of sparks. The robot stumbled back unfocused, before quickly coming to and firing it's tongue at Django. The undead musician dodged out of the way and Sleepy Sam chased after him shooting his tongue at Django. After a few minutes of this, Django decided to take the offensive. The undead hero tapped into his new power and he became enveloped in his spirit flesh. Django turned his scythe back into a guitar and strapped it to his back in one quick fluid motion. Sleepy Sam fired his tongue at Django, but instead of dodging the attack, Django caught the tongue with his hands making it come to a halt.

"Looks like I got your tongue." Said Django.

Sleepy Sam tried to yank his tongue back, but Django held on and he didn't budge. The undead hero then yanked on the tongue lifting Sleepy Sam into the air, before he twirled him around and slammed the robot into the ground. Django let go of the tongue and looked at the robot. Sleepy Sam was severely damaged with tears in his metal skin and wires sticking out.

"System error...system...error!" Croaked Sleepy Sam as he staggered to his feet and drew his tongue back in.

It seemed like the robot was fixing to fall over and shut down, but instead it opened it's mouth and a strange speaker like device poked out.

"What the?" Thought Django.

"Deploying...Ravage...Ribbit!" Said Sleepy Sam.

There was a strange Ribbit sound from the speaker, as a blast of solid sound shot at Django. The hero quickly jumped out of the way as the blast flew by and hit the river causing a explosion that shot a bunch of water into the air. Django landed on the ground and pulled out his guitar. The undead musician faced off against the robot as it prepared to fire another blast of sound. Both fighters fired and the two sound blast slammed into each other canceling each other out. Sleepy Sam was fixing to fire another blast, when suddenly, Tobe jumped in from above and stabbed one of his swords into the robot's head! Django watched as Sleepy Sam sparked and sputtered. Tobe pulled his sword out of the robot's head and nodded to Django. Django morphed his guitar into a scythe and charged at Sleepy Sam swinging.

Slash!

Thunk!

Sleepy Sam's decapitated head dropped to the ground and the red light in his remaining eye went out. Django turned his scythe back into a guitar and the spirit energy vanished.

"Rest in peace." Said Django as he bowed to the defeated robot.

"Let's move on." Said Tobe.

The two heroes continued onward and neither of them noticed a fly robot fly out of Sleepy Sam's mouth and began following them. The robot fly had a camera in it and it was giving a direct video feed back to the secret lair. Sylvester and Kim were watching the video feed and taking notes.

"It appears that both Django and Tobe have a few new tricks up their sleeves. How very fascinating." Said Sylvester.

"Yes. Sleepy Sam didn't stand a chance." Said Kim.

"Very unfortunate. I at least thought, he would at least injure them in some way, but at least we got some interesting data from, his defeat. All in the name of research." Said Sylvester.

The two scientist continued to watch the video feed in silence.

Tobe and Django were making their way through the forest, unaware that they were being watched and that there were some enemies preparing to ambush them. Luceline stood invisible on a tree branch as she watched the heroes progress through the forest. The clone flew a few yards away from the path and found Scorcher, Hood, and Greywhack waiting for her. Luceline became visible to order her forces.

"Alright those two heroes are only a few yards ahead of us. If we move quickly we can overtake them and attack."

The three villains nodded and began moving forward, but then a wall of ice suddenly sprung up and blocked their path.

"What?! Who did this?" Demanded Luceline.

"Oh I did." Said Iroh aa he jumped down from the ice wall and landed in front of the group.

"Who are you?" Asked Greywhack.

"Just an old man out for a stroll. I also happen to be the teacher of one of the warriors you were planing to ambush." Said Iroh.

"You must be that old man that forced Mitshuid to fallback after that little attack on the Candy Kingdom. Well old man, your in our way, so why don't you just move aside and will be on our way." Said Luceline as she shooed a hand at Iroh.

"I'm afraid I cannot. Your comrade Mitshuid wants to fight Tobe and Django in a fair fight. I highly doubt, he would appreciate it if you and your group ambushed the warriors he challenged and greatly weakened them, so they would be easy to defeat. Mitshuid wants to beat Tobe and Django in a fair Warrior's Duel. This is a matter of honor between warriors and I shall not have you ruin it with your actions." Said Iroh.

"Like I care about honor. Only the strong and ruthless survive in the real world. Boys take care of this old fool and then will deal with the others." Said Luceline.

The three warriors moved forward to do as Luceline commanded. Greywhack pulled out his sword and then leaped forward with a quick thrust at Iroh's chest, but Iroh sidestepped the thrust, got behind Greywhack, and cuffed on the back of the head. Greywhack let out a gasp as he dropped his sword and crashed face first into the ground. The other villains were momentarily shocked by this, but Scorcher quickly overcame his shock and came charging at Iroh, with his hands glowing red with flames. Iroh stood his ground as the assassin charged at him and struck at the old man with his hands Iroh calmly deflected Scorcher's blows with his hands, which both surprised and and angered Scorcher. The assassin turned into a cloud of smoke and reappeared behind Iroh swinging a flaming hand at him. Iroh shot his right hand backwards and caught Scorcher's hand stopping it, he then swung his left hand backwards and delivered a palm strike to Scorcher's face sending him flying back and crashing into the ice wall.

"Impressive." Said Luceline.

"Take your wounded and leave." Said Iroh as he gave Luceline and Hood a stern look.

"Ug...stupid old man! I'm not finished yet!" Spluttered Greywhack as he picked up his sword and stumbled to his feet.

The villain charged at Iroh with a murderous look in his eyes as he swung his sword at him. Iroh retreated back dodging the sword swings, while Scorcher managed to get back up and charged at Iroh from behind with a flaming hand. The assassin reached his target and slammed his flaming hand through his back and out of his chest. Iroh let out a gasp then he exploded into a bunch of snowflakes that fluttered to the ground. Greywhack and Scorcher starred at the ground in confusion and then they both felt something strike the back of their heads and knock them to the ground. Iroh stood over the down villains.

"I think you have had enough." Said Iroh.

Greywhack let out a snarl as he leaped to his feet and swung his sword at Iroh. Iroh caught Greywhack's arm and twisted it making him let go of the sword, before he struck him in the face with his other hand and knocked him to the ground. Scorcher tried to attack Iroh from the side, but he spun around and slammed the hilt of Greywhack's sword into his face and knocked the assassin to the ground. Iroh tossed the sword to the ground and faced Luceline and Hood. There was some evil chuckling in the air and a ghostly image of Crimson, suddenly appeared between Luceline and Hood clapping.

"Well that was done nicely. I must say this is a real treat to see someone like you here. It really gives me the chance to see how my prototype works against a warrior like you." Said Crimson.

"What prototype?" Asked Luceline.

"Why it's Hood. I've made some great modifications to him. Now Hood, why don't you show everyone the big improvement I've made to you." Said Crimson.

Hood reached down to the armor he wore and tapped it. The armor shifted and parted to expose Hood's chest and imbedded in the center of it was a demonic wishing eye that looked at Iroh and then at Luceline. Hood tapped his armor and it shifted back into place covering the eye.

"You see Hood is not a normal living creature, but one I've created with magic. I decided to see how powerful Hood could become if I infused a demonic wishing eye into him. Now I have a perfect opponent to test his new powers against. Just imagine all the possibilities with beings infused with demonic wishing eyes and other magical items, oh the possibilities are just endless." Said Crimson with a chuckle.

"What your doing is insane. You can't fuse dark magical items with living beings, it will destroy them." Said Iroh.

"Oh I beg to differ. A new universal order is coming and there's nothing anybody can do about it. I'll just leave and let Hood entertain you." Said Crimson as his ghostly image vanished.

Hood faced Iroh with a grin, then twenty green copies of Hood appeared next to him and surrounded Iroh with swords drawn.

"Well this should be entertaining." Thought Luceline as she sat on a rock and watched.

Iroh took a fighting stance as the Hood copies prepared to attack.

Tobe and Django finally reached the plateau and found Doctor Princess and Skeleton Princess tied to a tree. The two heroes were fixing to go over to them, when suddenly there heard a bell tolling and they turned to see the shrine to see Mitshuid walking towards them, then he stopped a couple of yards away from the heroes. They all starred at one another for a few minutes as the bell tolled.

"You have both finally arrived, my challengers. The bell is tolling, which means that someone here will most likely meet their end this day. I've been looking forward to this battle for quit some time." Said Mitshuid.

"We have been anticipating this battle with you as well, but before we begin, we request that no matter the turnout of this battle, that both Doctor Princess and Skeleton Princess be returned unharmed to their homes." Said Tobe.

"Very well. You have my word that if I'm the victor of this battle, then I will personally return the two women back to their homes unharmed." Said Mitshuid.

"Alright, let's begin this Warrior Duel." Said Django as both he and Tobe pulled out their weapons.

"Yes, let us begin." Said Mitshuid as he clapped his hands together and did a little chant.

Tobe and Django watched as Mitshuid was covered in shadows and then he split into two Mitshuids. One Mitshuid pulled out his scythes, while the other pulled out a shamisen. The Mitshuid with the shamisen began to fire some sound blades at the two warriors forcing them to dodge about. The Mitshuid with the scythes then leaped forward swinging his weapons at Tobe and struck at him. Tobe managed to block the attack, but the force of it was still strong enough to send him flying and crashing into some woods. The Mitshuid with the scythes laughed as he took off after Tobe, leaving Django to fight the other Mitshuid.

"Now it's just you and me partner." Said Mitshuid as he pointed his shamisen at Django.

"Bring it." Said Django as he pointed his guitar at Mitshuid.

The two of them began to strum their musical instruments and fire long range attacks at one another. Mitshuid with his sound blades and Django with his energy beams. At first the long range attacks hit one another and canceled each other out, but then Mitshuid strung one of his blades a different way and sent it spinning at Django. The blade spun and sliced through one of Django's energy attacks and headed towards the undead musician. Django eyes went wide and he quickly leaped into the air to avoid the attack. Mitshuid grinned as he quickly fired several more sound blades at Django in quick succession. Django realized the attacks were coming in to quick for him to counter them with energy blast from his guitar, so he changed it into a scythe and began to deflect the sound blades with it, but then one sound blade got through his defenses and struck him in his left shoulder causing him to shout as he crashed into the ground. Mitshuid grinned as he put his shamisen away and pulled out his scythes. The clone then leaped into the air and brought his weapons down towards Django. The undead hero saw his opponent coming down towards him and quickly grabbed his weapon and rolled out of the way as Mitshuid's blades slammed into the ground and became imbedded. Django then leaped at Mitshuid and struck him in the back with his scythe sending him flying away from his weapons and crashing into a rock.

"Not...bad Django, but this fight is only just starting." Said Mitshuid as he got back up to his feet and faced Django.

"Well the fight may have already started, but it looks like I'm at an advantage where I can finish it quickly." Said Django as he turned his scythe back into a guitar and pointed it at Mitshuid.

"It may appear so, but I have a few tricks up my sleeve." Said Mitshuid.

The clone then jumped into the air and the spurs on his boot rearranged themselves and appeared underneath his boots, as he landed on the ground. Mitshuid then blasted forward at an incredible speed using the spurs as skates! Django eyes widened in shock as Mitshuid quickly reached him with his new speed and then, the clone preformed a slashing kick at the undead hero, with his spur skates. Django managed to leap back from the attack, but his poncho and shirt received a slash from the attack. Mitshuid then grabbed his scythes and raced after Django swinging them. Django turned his guitar back into a scythe and began to block the attacks. At first Django managed to defend himself, but then Mitshuid started to throw some kicks in with his spur skates. Django deflected a scythe blade, with his on scythe, only to then quickly receive a slash from a spur skate that knocked him off balance. Mitshuid pressed forward and sent Mitshuid flying into the air with a powerful kick. As Django flew into the air. Mitshuid hurled one of his scythes at him and it smashed the undead hero into the ground with a thunderous crash. Mitshuid pulled on the wire that connected the scythe to his wrist guard and brought his weapon back to him as he approached Django.

"It looks like I'm going to win." Said Mitshuid as he stopped a few feet from.

Django looked up at Mitshuid and let out a little chuckle.

"Your...not the only one with a few tricks up their sleeve."

Django got to his feet and activated his new powers, in casing his body in the ghostly flesh. Mitshuid starred at Django slightly stunned.

"What the-" began Mitshuid, before Django slammed a kick into his chest and sent him flying back.

Mitshuid stuck his spur skates into the ground and managed to stop himself. The clone regained his composure and looked to see Django rushing at him with his scythe. Mitshuid tried to strike the undead hero with one of his scythes, but he ducked beneath the swing and got closer to the clone, who quickly raised one of his legs up and kicked downwards with his spur skate, attempt to slice Django in half. Django leaped into the air spinning as Mitshuid's leg barely missed him by a inch. The undead hero then punched Mitshuid in the face knocking him back, but the clone recovered and preformed a roundhouse kick at Django, who leaped back to avoid the blow and swiped the spur off using his scythe. This caused Mitshuid to stumble back unbalanced and Django took this opportunity to slice the other spur skate off. Mitshuid stumbled back, but managed to regain his balance.

"Your going to pay for that!" The clone roared as he charged at Django.

Django turned his scythe back into a guitar and as Mitshuid charged him, he strummed it, but instead of a blast of red energy a blast of wind slammed into Mitshuid and sent him crashing into the shrine, shaking it and destroying a support beam. Mitshuid groaned as he stumbled to his feet. Django headed his way and Mitshuid pulled out his shamisen and began strumming it sending out sound blades. Django countered with beams of red energy. The two warriors battled with their instruments and long ranged attacks, while Django wondered how Tobe was doing.

Tobe faced off against Mitshuid in a clearing surrounded by trees. Mitshuid charged forward swinging one of his scythes, forcing Tobe to dive out of the way as all the trees behind him, were sliced in half. Tobe came up with a sword thrust at Mitshuid, who dodged out of the way and a large rock behind him was shattered to bits by Tobe's attack. Mitshuid swung, his scythe and stabbed Tobe in the chest, only to see Tobe explode into a cloud of smoke. It was a fake! The real Tobe suddenly sprung up from behind Mitshuid and stabbed his blades into his back, only to see Mitshuid explode into a cloud of smoke. Tobe looked around for his opponent, when suddenly a skeletal hand burst from the ground and attempted to grab him. The ninja leaped away from the hand and toss a chain made out of ice at it. The ice chain wrapped around the hand and Tobe yanked on it, yanking Mitshuid out of the ground and into the air. Tobe then yanked down on the chain and Mitshuid slammed into the ground hard. The ninja hero let go of the chain and leaped down at Mitshuid with his swords down ready to stab. Mitshuid saw him and quickly rolled out of the way, as the blades imbedded themselves in the ground. The clone then hurled one of his scythes at Tobe, who quickly pulled his swords out of the ground and blocked the attack. Mitshuid yanked on the wire that connected his scythe to his arm guard and caught his weapon. Tobe faced Mitshuid, who grinned and leaped into the air. Tobe watched him expecting the clone to come down with a downwards slash, but instead, Mitshuid went up high and seemed to stand in midair.

"Behold my powers allow me to master the skill of levitation. I am now a mighty hawk, who will kill you from above!" Declared Mitshuid as he began to pull out ninja stars and began hurling them at Tobe.

Tobe went about dodging the attacks, as he tried to figure out how Mitshuid was doing his levitation. The ninja then had a bright idea and clapped his hands together as he did a little chant. Tobe pointed his hands up and a blast of light snow shot out and spread through the area. The snow covered the trees and a bunch of thin wire sticking out from the tress connecting them in the air above. Mitshuid was reveal to be standing on them. The clone clapped his hands in approval.

"Clever. You managed to reveal my wires, but I'm afraid it won't do you any real good." Said Mitshuid before he hurled both his scythes at Tobe.

Tobe managed to block the blades, but the force of the impact, still knocked him against a tree. Mitshuid laughed as he pulled one of his scythes over to him and then he hurled it at Tobe. The scythe sliced through Tobe's neck and the tree. Tobe's head fell off and he exploded into a cloud of snow flakes, revealing himself to be a fake. Mitshuid looked around and tried to find the real Tobe, when suddenly Tobe burst out of the ground before Mitshuid and swung, his swords downwards slicing Mitshuid's arms and chest. The clone stumbled back and tried to yank, his scythes back to him, but Tobe conjured up some ice ninja stars and hurled them at the strings slicing them. Mitshuid let out a snarl as he charged at Tobe, grabbed him, and slammed him against a tree. The clone grinned in triumph as he pressed down on Tobe's arms attempting to crush them. Tobe gritted his teeth and then he slammed his head into Mitshuid's face making him shout in pain and let go. The ninja then leaped forward and kicked Mitshuid in the chest sending him flying back and crashing into the ground near one of his scythes. Mitshuid picked it up and faced Tobe, who charged at him unleashing an onslaught of blows at the clone forcing him to retreat back and grab his other scythe. The clone tried to to launch a counter attack, but Tobe leaped forward and sliced his swords in an X shape and slammed into Mitshuid and sent him flying through the woods. Tobe took off after him.

Meanwhile Django and the other Mitshuid were still going at one another with their instruments. Django decided to chance strategies and changed some of his spirit power through his guitar and fired a white energy blast at Mitshuid. The attack blasted through Mitshuid's sound blades and crashed into Mitshuid destroying his shamisen and sending him flying back.

It was at this exact moment that the Mitshuid, Tobe had been fighting came flying out of the woods next to the shrine and he and the other Mitshuid collided with one another and they fell to the ground. Tobe came out of the forest and joined up with Django as they watched the two Mitshuids turn into shadows and merged to form one Mitshuid. The clone groaned as he stumbled to his feet to continue fighting.

Meanwhile deeper in the forest, Iroh was facing off against dozens of Hood copies. One Hood copy leaped at Iroh with a short sword, but the deity slammed a palm into the clone and sent the copy flying and crashing into six other copies knocking them all down. A dozen copies then leaped into the air and tried to pounce on Iroh, but he formed a staff made out of ice and swung in a circle hitting all the copies and sending them flying and crashing into the surrounding forest. The real Hood stood by and calmly created more copies of himself to go after Iroh. Luceline sat on her rock and watched the whole fight with a board look on her face. The clone decided to go invisible and fly off to see how the fight with Mitshuid was going. As soon as she was gone, Hood decided to get involved with the fight. Hood tapped his armor and it shifted, so the demonic wishing eye could be seen. The villain then charged in to join the fight.

Mitshuid stood facing Tobe and Django. The clone realized he had taken to much damage in his fight against the heroes, so now it was time to play one of his trump cards. Mitshuid strapped one of his scythes to his back and pulled out the gourd that contained the liquid from the well of power. The clone uncapped the gourd and poured the green liquid down his mouth and let it drip down his spinal cord and ribs. The gourd was soon empty and Mitshuid tossed it to the ground.

"What did you just drink?" Demanded Django.

"The water of a god. It was a gift to me and with it's blessing I will annihilate you!" Declared Mitshuid as he grabbed his scythe and got into a combat stance.

It was then Mitshuid began to feel stronger. It felt like his body was on fire and he had a huge desire to kill. The clone's eyes glowed a faint green as he charged forward at super speed and delivered a scythe slash to Django and sent him crashing to the ground a few yards away. Mitshuid then spun on the balls of his feet and delivered an elbow to Tobe's chest cracking a few of the ninja's ribs and knocking the breath out of him. Tobe stumbled back gasping for breath, before Mitshuid delivered a powerful kick and sent him crashing into a rock. Mitshuid prepared to go after Tobe, but Django leaped in and swung his scythe at the clone, stabbing him in his right shoulder. Mitshuid stumbled back in pain, but then he let out an insane laugh as he yanked the blade out and slammed his head into Django's face causing his ghost flesh to flicker as he staggered back. The clone prepared to go after him, but a chain of ice suddenly flew in and wrapped around his left arm, yanking him off his feet and slammed him into the ground. Tobe appeared at the other end of the chain and threw several ice ninja stars at Mitshuid stabbing him in the chest several times and one ninja star stabbed into the clone's left eye. Mitshuid screeched in pain for a few seconds, but then the ice weapons stabbed into, his body began to melt and he staggered to his feet laughing.

"I'm invincible! The mighty Lich has blessed me!" Declared Mitshuid.

"Ug...his gone completely insane. That water has not only increased his power, but it gave him a huge tolerance for pain." Said Tobe.

"Then we just have to hit him harder. I'll knock him off balance and you can go do some serious damage to him." Said Django as he stood next to the ninja.

Tobe nodded as they both faced clone let out a war cry as he charged at the two heroes. Django slammed his hands to the ground and a enormous tree root suddenly shot up from the ground before them and smashed into Mitshuid going upwards. Tobe jumped onto the tree root and ran up to towards Mitshuid. As he reached him, Tobe leaped into the air and slammed both his swords down on Mitshuid sending him crashing to the ground with a thunderous crash that created a huge crater in the ground. Tobe leaped down from the tree root and stood next to Django.

"How did you do that thing with the root?" Asked Tobe.

"I communicated with some of the spirits of the forest and asked them for help, so they assisted us." Said Django.

"Your powers allow you to communicate with the spirits of nature itself." Said Tobe with understanding.

There was a groan from the crater and Mitshuid stumbled out. The clone was in bad shape and it looked like the attacks were finally starting to take their toll on him. The green in Mitshuid's eyes flickered a little.

"I...refuse to lose! I'm going to finish this!" Declared Mitshuid as his aura began to glow and the giant energy Tengu appeared behind him.

"It's time to end this!" Said Tobe as his aura began to glow and the giant energy samurai appeared behind him.

The two warriors charged forward and swung their weapons as the Tengu swung it's claws and the samurai swung it's swords. The two clashed and sparks flew. The ground shook as both sides locked blades and pushed against one another. Then they separated and charged at one another again with wild roars as they swung their weapons. Mitshuid scythes clashed against Tobe's swords and the two sparked against one another. It seemed like they were evenly matched, then there was a cracking sound as Mitshuid's left scythes shattered to bits and his Tengu aura flickered. Tobe let out a roar as he slammed his sword into Mitshuid's chest and sent him flying into the sky causing the Tengu aura to vanish. Django then leaped into the air, his scythe glowing white with energy as he flew at Mitshuid and sliced at him. There was a loud slashing sound and Mitshuid's right arm flew off, then Django sliced at Mitshuid's chest and sent him smashing into the ground below with a thunderous crash. Mitshuid laid on the ground with his dismembered arm and scythe laying a few yards away from him. The clone's clothes were ripped up, with several of his bones cracked, and his left leg was twisted at an odd angle. Tobe and Django stood over him.

"It...appears...that you two...have won." Said Mitshuid as he starred up at the two warriors.

"It appears that way." Said Tobe.

"Hey since we beat you and all, why don't you tell us what your masters are planning. We figured they want to start a war between the kingdoms, but we can't figure out what else they're up to." Said Django.

"I...suppose I can tell you what...little I know. Yes my maters want to start a war, but that is only a small part of the plan. Regardless of who wins the war they start, the Lich we obtain what who desires in the end...and thus he will win. Your universe...and the multiverse will meet their end...and there's nothing you can do about it. You and your allies are strong, but the Lich is beyond strength, he is the end of all." Said Mitshuid.

"Don't count us out yet." Said Django.

"There's...one more thing...I need to tell you." Said Mitshuid as he pushed himself up onto his knees.

"What's that?" Asked Tobe.

"I'm not afraid to meet my end. You beat me, but I'm going to take you down with me, in the name of Lord Pyro!" Declared Mitshuid as his chest suddenly began to glow red and be sprung at the two heroes.

Django quickly turned his scythe back into a guitar and fired a sound blast at Mitshuid sending him crashing into the shrine, directly underneath the bell. Tobe then hurled a ice ninja star at the rope suspending the causing it to fall towards Mitshuid. The clone looked at the bell in shock, his mouth forming a scream of outrage as the bell fell on top of him.

"So the bell was tolling for my death." Thought Mitshuid as the bomb hidden in his chest exploded and killed him.

The ground shook and a tiny sift of smoke exited from the bell. Tobe and Django looked at the bell and bowed their heads in respect for their defeated enemy. The two heroes then stumbled over to Doctor Princess and Skeleton Princess and freed them. Doctor Princess pulled off Tobe's mask and kissed his cheek.

"I knew you two would rescue us. Now let's head home and get you patched up." Said Doctor Princess.

The little group began to head down the path away from the shrine. As soon as they were gone, Luceline became visible and appeared next to the severed limb of Mitshuid and picked up his scythe.

"Oh what a shame. Poor Mitshuid is dead, but at least I have myself a weapon and I think I have a way to become stronger then ever." Said Luceline with a smirk, before she flew off with the scythe.

In another part of the forest Iroh stood in the center of a bunch of destroyed trees facing Hood. The two have been fighting each other intensely neither giving an inch. The two were fixing to continue fighting, but Hood received a telepathic message telling him to return to the lair. The villain gave Iroh one last look, before he and the unconscious forms of Greywhack and Scorcher vanished in a flash of light. Iroh let out a sigh as he began to walk down the path away from the battlegrounds. Something big was fixing to happen to this planet and he planned to find out what it was.

Up in space the chuck of the Citadel was reaching the Earth's atmosphere. The villains got into the the large chunk of crystal as it began to enter the planet's atmosphere. Dr. Cerebral and Mental Mouse let out some angry curses as the black box that contained REGIS flew away from the Citadel chunk. The massive crystal continued to fly towards the planet's surface and crashed into the desert outside of the lands of Ooo. The box that contained REGIS crashed into the grasslands and cracked a little. A new threat had arrived on Earth.

To be continued.
