"Sasha!" Luz shouted in shock.
Chris had been watching from the healer's bay and shouted also in shock, "luz!"
"Everyone!" Rj shouted.
Samurai jack put his sword away as the Gioji appeared and asked, "Warriors, what has happened here?"
"I….we…..we don't know. She just collapsed right in front of us." Luz answered, really concerned about his brother.
Jack bent down and put his ear against sasha's slowly moving chest and said, "her breathing is shallow. Something is definitely wrong."
"This warrior will require a healer at once. The match will be nullified, pending a further investigation of this incident." The Gioji said.
Luz nodded and helped Sasha to stand up, holding one of her arms over her shoulder as he said, "We better then get moving then. Anything to help my brother."
Jack grabbed the other arm and placed it around his shoulder and requested, "Very well, but I insist you allow me to accompany both Sasha and luz to the Healer's Pavilion."
Chris then floats in, staff in hand as he shouted at jack, believing he hurt his friend, "And I insist you keep your hands off my friend!"
"Chris stop! He's okay! Jack is a friend." Luz said, holding her hand out to Chris. "He helped me and Sasha from the assassins that attacked us."
"It's true. I only wish to help Sasha." Jack said with a nod, showing genuine concern for Sasha.
"Chris…..it's…..it's okay." Sasha said weakly.
"Try not to talk. We're gonna get you some help." Luz said as she continued to keep Sasha standing up.
Chris stood beside luz, though still not fully trusting jack. The Gioji then said as he waved his instrument in the air, "Come. The Healer awaits."
A flash of light appeared and suddenly, they were transported right out of the arena. Mizar and his councillor looked down at where they once stood.
"They shall be an example. All shall fear me as Master of the Multiverse." Mizar said before leaving.
A pair of green eyes flashed and the sound of slight growling could be heard from the hooded figures cloak.
The Gioji, Chris, luz, Sasha and jack appeared in the Healer's Pavilion where the Master Healer stood. The Gioji bowed at the man and explained as he gestured to Sasha, "Wise and beloved Master Healer, an honoured warrior has needs of your gifts."
The Master Healer bowed and said in a gentle voice as he gestured to one of the futons, "Bring him over to me quickly."
Luz and jack laid Sasha down on the futon. Sasha winced in pain and the Master Healer could definitely see something was causing her great pain. He kneeled down beside Sasha and placed his hands on her forehead. He then began to speak in some sort of language and his body began to glow.
"What's with the Vulcan mind meld?" Chris asked Jack.
"Vulcan mind meld?" Jack asked, completely confused.
"What is the healer doing to Sasha?" Luz asked so this time, Usagi could understand.
"Oh. He's merging with your friends spirit in order to determine the exact nature his sudden illness." Jack answered.
Rj and Anne entered the room and looked down at Sasha with concern and fear as Anne asked, "Oh my girlfriend! What has happened?"
"We don't know anne. Jack,Sasha and I were just in the middle of our match and then the next thing we knew, Sasha collapsed in front of us." Luz said, looking down, hoping that her friend would be okay.
Suddenly the Master Healer was pushed back from Sasha's body. Rj,Anne and Chris helped the Master Healer stand back up as he answered rj's question, "It seems she has been poisoned. But the source of the toxin eludes me."
"Sasha poisoned?" Mizar said, pretending to be shocked as he walked inside and transforming into his human form. "What fiend would do such a thing? Rest assured rj, I will personally get to the bottom of this atrocity."
"We should still inform your father of what has happened and hope he can help as well." Rj said. She turned to Chris,and said, "Chris, you stay with Sasha while luz and I go speak with the Daimyo. We will return shortly."
"But rj I….." Anne began to protest, wanting to stay with Sasha as well, but rj placed a hand on anne's shoulder and said sympathetically, "It is hard to leave after what has happened, I know. But since luz had seen what had happened, the Daimyo will need to hear her side of the story if we're going to find out who poisoned sasha.and Sasha would want you to continue on the fight,besides she's in safe hands thanks to you, Jack and Chris."
Anne looked down and nodded before leaving to continue in the torment,luz was following rj out of the Healer's Pavilion, both of them unaware that mizar secretly made a sinister smirk as he watched them leave.
Sprig,Polly and king came in the room,we heard what happened and we came help king said.
What happened to Sasha sprig asked?
She was poisoned Chris said.
Meanwhile.
The Daimyo was waiting in the throne room, but he was starting to lose his patience.
He looked at the note once more and thought, "What is keeping my son? His message said that this was an urgent matter. I can't stay too long for I must return back to the tournament."
Suddenly, a black shadowy smoke filled the middle of the room. The Daimyo stood up and was about to grab his staff ready to fight, but a chain wrapped around it and pulled it away, out of his reach.
"What is the meaning of this?!" He demanded.
The assassins then appeared in the room, weapons in hand and stood ready to take the Daimyo once and for all. The Daimyo shouted, "GUARDS!"
But none of the guards responded and he was now left in the hands of the assassins.
Meanwhile back in the arena.
the Gioji continued the contest and announced to everyone, "The following warriors will advanced to the final rounds of the Battle Nexus Tournament. Garnet of earth, Daniel of Dimension seven, Apollo of boiling isles, kim of the boiling isles,amity of the boiling isles,Darrel of Earth and willow of the boiling isles,maria of the boiling isles,gus of the boiling isles, Anne of Earth and hunter of the boiling isles, Atreus of second asgard."
Willow and Gus gave each other a thumb's for making it through. The Gioji then finished before disappearing, "The finalists are to meet at the base of the Pyramid Arena in exactly one megaquagon."
"How long is a megaquagon?" Hunter asked his brother.
Gus smiled and answered, "Long enough to see me dominate the finals bro!"
Oh bring it willow said.
"But of course, I would never be so un-sportsman like to rub it in their faces." Gus said with sarcasm.
Dani smirked and said, "I would."
Gus laughed and then said, "Me too. Let's go and find them."
And so they left to go find the others, unaware of the events that took place and the ones that are taking place right at this moment.
Rj and luz had arrived at the doors leading to the throne room of the palace, only to be shocked as they found the two guards knocked unconscious.
"DAIMYO!" Rj shouted, realising that the Daimyo was in trouble.
Wasting no time, both luz and rj kicked the doors open to find that the Daimyo and Ue-Sama was on the ground unconscious surrounded by the assassins that tried to kill luz,Apollo and Sasha.
"These guys are the ones that attacked me,Sasha and Apollo!" Luz said, pointing at them.
One of the assassins threw a dagger straight at rj, but he blocked it with her staff and then charged at the assassins with luz. The assassins however jumped through the window and vanished without a trace, leaving luz and rj with the injured Daimyo and Ue-Sama.
"Rj…..rj….." The Daimyo said weakly to his friend.
"Do not try speak old friend. My niece and I will seek help." Rj said gently.
Suddenly guards filled the room and demanded, "Step away from the Daimyo and Ue-Sama now!"
Rj and luz stood back, but found themselves surrounded by more guards. One of them then spoke to mizar as he entered the room, "We have the intruders my lord."
"Wait! We're not the ones who did this!" Luz tried to tell them.
Ue-Sama kneeled down and began to act like he was in distress, "Father!"brother!" No!"
He turned to the guards not holding luz and rj and ordered, "Take them to the Healer's Pavilion at once."
He then stood up and glared at both rj and luz as he sneered, "My father and little brother trusted you two! He called you friend vermin and you betray him thus! Imagine if your youngest sons were here right now to see you two now."
As the guards began to carry the Daimyo and Ue-Sama away, they reached out to rj and luz once again said weakly, "rj…."
"See how he points to the assassins?! Throw these two cowards in the dungeons!" Mizar ordered the guards, who immediately began to take Splinter and Leo away.
Ue-Sama, he was grinning like a mad-man. Happy that his plans were going along swimmingly.
As the guards continued to lead luz and rj to the dungeons, rj whispered to luz, "luz, there's something going on with the Daimyo's older son. You must flee and find out what is going on in the shadows."
"But auntie, I can't just leave you….." luz began to say, but rj cut her off and said, "You must! I will be fine. Now go!"
Luz nodded and immediately split kicked the guards that were holding her and quickly ran towards a window and jumped right out of it. The guards that were kicked immediately got back up and ran over to the window, only to find luz wasn't there and below was the flowing river.
"I don't even think a warrior as skilled as he could've survived that fall." One of them said.
"Looks like since he couldn't complete his mission to kill the Daimyo and his younger son, she decided to take her own life." The other guard said.
"Let's just get this witch to the dungeon before he does the same thing." The guards holding rj said. "Then we'll report to the eldest Daimyo's son that the other assassin is dead."
As the guards continued on to the dungeons, they were unaware that luz was using an invisible glyph and was fly down the palace walls. Landing on the ground, she quickly checked the area and continued on, looking for mizar in order to shadow him as rj told her to.
Meanwhile.
Chris,sprig,Polly,king and jack continued to watch over sasha as she was still unconscious. The Healer was going through his scrolls, trying to figure out a way to find the source of the toxin inside sasha so he can help her.
King continued to wipe the sweat from sasha's head with cold towel. Suddenly, the guards came in carrying the Daimyo and Ue-Sama in their arms as one of them said with urgency, "Master Healer, you're needed at once. The Daimyo and Ue-Sama has been attacked!"
The Healer immediately got up and followed the guards to a private room at the back of the pavilion.
"Wait, what about sasha?" Chris asked.
"I'm sorry, but your friend is going have to wait. The Daimyo and Ue-Sama needs my immediate medical assistance." The Healer said and closed the door.
Chris looked down in dismay and spoke in his head, "What can I do? I'm an engineer, not a doctor."
Jack reached his hand over, but Polly grabbed it with and snapped, "Don't even think about touching her!"
Jack waited until Polly let go of his hand, before removing his swords and placing them down as he said, "Please, I only wish to examine your friend. I think I can help."
He picked up the oil lantern as he said down and said calmly, "I mean no harm. I think I have seen this kind of thing before and have had some experience."
Polly calmed down a bit and said warningly, "Go ahead, but I'll be watching."
"If you would be so kind as to hold this for me like so?" Jack asked as he held the lantern up above sasha.
Donnie held the lantern and then watched as jack gently rolled Sasha to her side carefully. He then pulled out a crystal shard and said, "Observe."
Chris,sprig,Polly and king watched as jack allowed the light to flow through the shard, creating a rainbow light. Jack then moved the light near Sasha's shoulder blade and saw the mark near her neck.
"What is that?" Sprig asked.
"It is the entry point of a dissolving poison dart." Chris answered as he put the shard away and then pulled out a small bag. "A rarely used weapon nearly impossible to detect, even by a trained healer."
He opened the small bag, revealing it was filled with different herbs and plants. He placed it on a cloth and said, "Now that we have located the source of the toxin, I have some medicine that might help with your permission."
Polly,sprig and king could see that they really could trust jack as Chris tried to tell them and nodded, giving jack his permission to help their friend. Jack nodded and placed the cloth with the medicine on the entry point.
"All we can do now is wait." Jack said.
They all looked at Sasha, hoping that jack's medicine would help and that Sasha would be alright.
Meanwhile in the arena
Meanwhile,Garnet,Daniel,Apollo,kim,amity,Darrel,willow,maria,gus,Anne and hunter were walking through the town district of the Battle Nexus still looking for the others.
We gotta find luz,Sasha,king,sprig,Polly and rj."amity said.
Unfortunately Hunter wasn't looking where he was going as he was walking backwards and walked right into a food cart. All the food had fallen right over Atreus, one of the finalists in the tournament.
"Oops!" Hunter said.
Atreus wiped the food from his face and then began ranting. he isn't exactly happy with what Hunter did.
Hunter bent down to Kluh's size and began to tease, "Oh yeah? Well if you weren't such a young children, I'd show you how a real Battle Nexus champion fights!"
Suddenly Atreus began to shake and then began to transform into a bear'. He roared at hunter who smiled sheepishly and said, "Eeep!"
In a dungeon.
Sitting in one of the cells of the palace dungeon was rj. He sat there in a kneeled position, eyes closed and very calm. Footsteps were heard and a mizar's shadow loomed over rj as he looked down at him from the other side of the cell. His Councillor stood behind him.
He was unaware that luz was hiding amongst the shadows of the dungeon, ready to hear in on what mizar had to say.
"How can one remain so calm in the face of such serious charges?" Mizar asked.
Not even looking up at him, rj only said firmly, "My niece luz and I could never have bought harm to the Daimyo or your little brother, as you should know."
Mizar was grinning and he admitted, "All too well. For it was I who ordered the attack on my father and little brother."
Rj's eyes opened and he looked at mizar with anger and shock. Luz's eyes widened in shock, but she remained quiet and continued to listen in.
Mizar nodded and continued, "Oh yes. Even as we speak, your friend the Daimyo lies in the Healers Pavilion, not long for this world. I was hoping to have luz destroyed, but it seems she has made my job easier by destroying herself as he tried to escape, I was also the one who ordered the attack in the Pavilion of Past Champions on Apollo and luz before the tournament began and but sasha got in the way I was going to hit luz with the poison dart but sasha lies in the Healers Pavilion as well, poisoned by my hand."
Luz's eyes narrowed in anger when she heard that and said in her head, "He poisoned sasha but it was Intended for her?I knew we still couldn't trust him! I'll make him pay for this!"
From his back, he pulled out the Daimyo's War Staff and finished, "My father forced me to bow down before you and your niece, now you will bow before me for I am the Daimyo now."
Rj stood up from her position and said firmly, "You attempted and still plan to kill your father and little brother, framed myself and luz for the attack and also harmed my niece friend sasha. You will never earn that title. You know nothing of honour."
"Honour?" The Councillor's voice growled, causing rj to gasp in shock for he recognised that voice. "This has nothing to do with honour little rat. This has to do with power. Power and vengeance!"
Clawed red hands came out and ripped the cloak off, revealing that the Councillor was someone rj thought she would never have to see again. kavaxas! The same warrior she defeated in the Battle Nexus Tournament from years ago and the same one who tried to destroy him after the tournament.
"kavaxas!" Rj shouted in shock.
"Yes. I'm pleased you remember me." kavaxas said with a snarl. "How's the leg?"
Rj growled back at him and luz quietly and quickly left the dungeon. She stood on the roof and immediately began to head back to the Healer's Pavilion.
"Sasha,the Daimyo and Ue-Sama are both in danger! I have to get there and warn Chris and jack before it's too late!" Luz said in his head as he leapt over rooftops, heading back to the Healer's Pavilion.
Meanwhile.
Atreus continued to roar as he lifted hunter up by his belt, ready to pound him into the ground. Hunter chuckled nervously and said meekly, "about that im sorry for what I said.
Atreus my son I told you not to get into any trouble kratos said.
Atreus turned back to normal and said.Yes I'm sorry father.
I'm hoping to fighting you in the tournament atreus said to hunter.
Same Hunter agreed.
Then suddenly the Gioji appeared before them and announced, "Attend! Attend! The final stages of the Battle Nexus Tournament is about to begin!"
In a flash of light Garnet,Daniel,Apollo,kim,amity,Darrel,willow,maria,gus,Anne and hunter found themselves back at the arena with the other four final contestants.
"Welcome noble warriors to the final stages of the Battle Nexus Tournament!" The Gioji announced and suddenly, a floating fighting arena appeared before them. "Before we begin, all match ups will be determined by random lottery."
A blue bubble formed before them and the Gioji continued to explain, "However, due to a disqualification, we are left with an un-even number of contestants. Therefore, the odd warrior will automatically advance to the semi-finals."
They all placed their hands inside the bubble, feeling around for their duel markers. Each of the contestants then pulled their hands out. The others were matched up, they bowed to each other and then the Gioji sent them to their battle zone.
However it seemed that luck was not on gus's side as willow presented her duel marker to him and showed that they matched. Gus was now going to have to fight willow.
"Let's do this!" Gus exclaimed.
Willow smirked and said with anticipation, "agreed ."
Kim pulled out his duel marker, indicating that he was fighting amity,
Anne pulled out her duel marker,she has to fight dani.
Maria pulled out her duel marker,she has tohas to fight Hunter.
Apollo pulled out his duel marker,he has to atreus.
Darrel pulled out his duel marker,he has to fight garnet.
But to everyone's garnet said I forfeit the match it shocked everyone in the Crowd.
Is that your final request gioji asked.
Yes garnet answered as she got transported out of the Arena.
In the area apollo vs atreus.
Show me all you got son of kratos apollo said.
Okay atreus said transformed into a bear. In his bear form he pounched onto Apollo scratching him.
Apollo screamed in pain as the bear's claws left deep gashes on his skin. He quickly recovered, transforming his body into a more resilient form.
"Nice try," Apollo growled, his body bulging with increased muscle mass. "But you're going to have to do better than that."
Apollo charged forward, his fist colliding with the bear's snout, sending it flying across the room. Atreus swiftly transformed back into his human form, tumbling and rolling to absorb the impact.
"You're a tough one,"atreus admitted, wiping a trickle of blood from his lip. "But I've got more tricks up my sleeve."
In an instant, atreus transformed into a gorilla, slamming his massive fists into Apollo's chest. Apollo grunted under the impact, staggering backward
.atreus then changed into a jaguar, his agile form darting around the room, confusing Hulkling with his rapid movements.
Apollo roared in frustration, attempting to swipe at the elusive jaguar.
"You can't catch me, big guy!" Atreus taunted, transforming into a hummingbird and buzzing around Apollo's head. The hummingbird suddenly transformed into a massive anaconda, coiling around Apollo's legs and constricting tightly.
"Is it just me or are things getting hot out here." Apollo said as he sent scream fire at him.
"Ow, that's hot." Atreus said. The fire was enough to revert him back to his human form
With a swift motion, atreus transformed into a massive elephant, The elephant trumpeted loudly, charging towards Apollo with its powerful tusks aimed straight at him.
. Just as the two powerful beings were about to collide, atreus shifted again, this time transforming into a tiny flea.
Confused, Apollo looked around, trying to spot the elusive flea. Before he could react, the flea transformed into a venomous snake and sunk its fangs deep into Apollo's ankle. Apollo cried out in pain,
"That was a cheap shot," Apollo growled, his voice echoing through the empty building. "But it's time to end this."
Apollo got out excalibur. "I am a shiwen, I am warrior.
Apollo ran to atreus and was about to strike his sword, atreus barely missed it.. Apollo picked up atreus and threw him to the other side.
Apollo ran towards atreus and punched him backwards.
Apollo slashed with his sword hitting atreus shoulder.
Atreus went down to the ground, gasping for breath but none was coming.
Apollo walked over to the boy and gave him a senzu bean.
Here eat this it'll help restore your help apollo said handing putting the senzu bean in atreus mouth,
Atreus eat the bean and then he was transported to medical bay.
And the winner is apollo gioji announced.
Maria vs hunter
Maria fires kai blast at hunter, who dodges the blast as he sprints toward Maria,he then concurrently performing a leaping Sword slash. Maria parries with his sword,a energy blade, and the two clash several times before hunter struggles to keep up, making it apparent witch girl is faster when he blitz-cuts Hunter at least twice. The blitz is stopped by hunter's Chidori Current, pushing Maria back long enough for the grimwalker to summon several shadow clones, which all swarm Maria at once. He trades blows of speedy punches, fiery kicks and spin jumps with the duplicates until they are all defeated, disappearing into smoke. This leaves maria to look around for her real opponent, who is out of sight until he hears something.
"Fireball Jutsu!"
The moment maria turns around, she is directly hit by a blast of fire. She turns around and shoots light blast at hunter, but it turns out to be another clone. The real hunter, holding an electric ball in his hand, suprise attacks maria with the Chidori, follwed by a series of taijutsu strikes capped off with an electricity-infused slash from his sword. Knocked in the air, maria performed a homing attack that rammed the supporting kage straight in the chest. She summons a energy Spear and jousts, which Hunter blocks with his staff, but the impact knocks flapjack out of his hand. Before it can impale the grimwalker, he grips the blunt area and uses it to judo-flip maria over. As she gets back up, hunter activates his Sharingan, allowing him to predict Maria's next move as a spin dash and counter it with his sword. Parried, maria launches a ice shards, but Hunter forsaw this too, so he is not only able to block it in time despite the speed, but he replicates the barrage of strikes onto Maria afterward.
A little frustrated, time to skill that chocho showed me,human bolder Maria Expanding and rolling into a ball,but before they contact the grimwalker protects himself from them with a barrier of Amaterasu's black flames. The un-exstiguishable, all-burning black embers are sent Maria's way, but she quickly used a teleportation spell to get away before the flames hit her.
"Hm?"
Hunter scans the area for Maria's whereabouts, the Sharingan helping detect her aura quickly, finding her fly in the sky. Oh, and aiming a large light blast, which she then blasts Hunter with. Maria leaps down to fire a rocket launcher and shots it, but Hunter strikes it with a flaming kunai, sending it back with double the power, blasting Maria and destroying the rocket launcher,she was to the ground.then Maria transform into a dragon sent lightning at hunter. It's faster than hunter can dodge, and he was stunned long enough for Maria to heal the damage she has taken.
As she is halfway healed, she creates a pistol aiming it at hunter who has just appeared in front of her, and is exposed to the strange designs inside Sasuke's eyes from a glare.
She is unable to pull the trigger, as she suddenly begins to feel like his soul and mind are being pulled from her body.
"Ah! What?!"
Wrestling for control of herself, maria manages to resist, but is then greeted with an empty void. Maria glances around to see absolutely nothing.
"What kind of trick is this?"
Out of nowhere, a metal chain lunges at her from behind and wraps around her neck. More chains sprout up to bind her left arm, then right arm, then left leg, then right leg. Then they all pull on her. Maria grunts in pain and resistance. then opens her eyes; shortly following, the chains crack, then both the chains and the illusionary void shatter, freeing her. To hunter's surprise.
"But how-" as he wonders how Maria could have possibly resisted mental manipulation.
"Oh, please." She responded.
She then covered herself in a amber sphere, transferred the energy to her hands while walking up to hunter and shapes a large cosmic orb which she flings.
Too fast to dodge, a dimensional Rift touches Hunter, and he disappears.
When she reappears, tournament arena, rather floating in a void. Not an illusion void like he had just sent Maria to, but a real one, outside of the space-time continuum. Realizing where he is, his purple left eyeball glows, and the screen flashes black-and-white once...
Back at the arena, maria is walking away from the scene of the fight, when she hears a sound behind her as the screen briefly flashes black-and-white. When he turns around, he sees Sasuke has resurfaced.
"Kirin!"
Hunter summons what seems like a giant dragon made of electricity to lunge straight at the speedy hog. Wasting no time with surprise and enjoy the attack sasuke, maria then charging a boosted spin dash. This launches him straight into the jaws of the dragon, the clash's power resulting in an explosion. When the dust clears, maria sees a tall, giant, winged purple figure holding an equally big samurai sword in its hand looming over him. Susanoo swings upon Maria, who leaps out of the way just in time to avoid the blade hack. Where he lands, she floats up, Susanoo raises its sword and brings it down. Not to attack with the blade, maria uses a Pokémon move Draco meteor an energy ball came from her hands and separated into many energy balls at the Susanoo,but it survives however, and begins charging its katana with blue electricity. Susanoo takes a mighty jab at Maria, and Maria rises over it just in time to another Pokémon move thunder punch along the blade and the arm until she barrels through the chakra construct's chest. Grabbing Hunter, she flies higher up into the air before throwing Hunter over him.
Here's a little trick I copied from Darrell"time freeze maria shouted as left hand glowed red. Then Hunter remains completely motionless in the air his body was covered in red energy.
Then maria summoned multiple shadow clones then they all used aura sphere like lucario, and with another motion, then they all blast at Hunter at one by one, at him.hunter grunts in both pain and surprise from the attack before maria turns around.
She snaps her fingers, causing the clones and red aura surrounding hunters to disappear.
He then fell to ground he was transported out of the arena.
Maria clawthorn is the winner gioji said.
Amity vs Kim.
Well no hard feelings amity but I'm gonna fight the way luz taught me talking out glyphs.
Bring it amity said talking out her shadow staff.
Amity runs forward as Kim pulls out an ice glyph, which she uses to launch herself into the air. Kim pulls out fire glyphs and rains them down upon amity, but amity opens up a portal with her shadow staff and makes them disappear before she rushes towards Kim on the ice. Kim then uses an invisibility spell to dodge amity's staff swing. As amity Slides Down the ice and looks around to find her opponent, she is then caught off guard by the vines suddenly coming from the ground to snare her.
What the…vines? Amity asked.
Kim(reappears behind amity) I guess you did… KNOT see that one coming! Boom!
Ugh Boooo. What kind of puns was that. Even hooty could do better than that.amity said.
Hmph, well I thought it was funny kim said.
Kim then summons her palisman, Scarlett to her hand ready to blast magic at amity, who uses her staff to cut out of the vines and barely dodges the attack with her staff. Kim throws out some fire blast at amity, but She uses her staff to open a portal and teleport away.
Wait... where did you go?luz asked.
Amity then appears behind Kim and smacks her in the back with her staff. Kim then gets up and uses an Ice Glyph to summon a block of ice, which appears from the ground in front of amity, sending her flying back. Luz throws a energy blast at amity. Amity uses her staff to once again to open a portal deflect the Blast back at Luz, who then knocks it back into the air with a swing of her Palisman. Amity then teleports in front of Kim and hits her with her staff, to which Kim blast amity back with a circle spell from her Palisman. Amity Using her teleporting staff, Claire keeps up with kim's quick, circle spells as the two constantly miss each other. The two then lock their staff together and trade several blows until amity is dazed when Kim unleashes a light glyph right in her eyes. This allows Kim to bring out a ray pulse and hit amity.
Amity then throws her shadow staff at Kim, who activates an red energy dome to protect her. Amity teleported in using her staff knocks kim on her back. She then manages to land a few punches on her best friend before kim activates an ice glyph to make an ice fist to counter amity's abomiton punches'. While amity clenches her fist in pain, kim then uses her palisman to slam into the ground and unleashed several blocks of ice from the ground to knock her opponent down. As amity recovers,the she notices kim riding on flys heading her direction.
Kim flys towards amity with her Palisman swinging, but amity uses her shadow staff to teleport away to safety. Amity then appears from a portal she created from above kim, but she activates a plant glyph to create a red energy dome, blocking amity's attack. Amity then open a portal underneath the dome and swallows it up, forcing kim to blast her way out on Scarlett before the shield disappears.
Okay, I'll admit, you pretty cool with that staff of yours kim said.
Ditto. But girl, you ain't see nothing yet Amity said.
Locked in a clash of weapons, kim slashes at amity, who dissipates into a portal. She reappears behind kim and jabs the hero in the gut with her staff, sending her flying to the other side of the arena. Amity charges at kim with her staff, but kim flies into the air, avoiding the attack. Kim then throw several Glyphs at amity, as she starts hopping through several portals to the dodge the glyph attacks.
Amity carefully opens a portal in front of kim, who is too distracted to see the portal in front of her. It isn't before its too late for kim to see the portal as she flies straight into it. Kim appears out of another portal, sending kim flying to the ground. Luz then looks up to see Claire staring down at her from a rock as she spits out dirt.
Ouch, that looks like it hurt amity said.
Not as much as this is going to hurt Kim said.
Kim pulls out two light Glyphs and slaps them together, temporarily blinding amity. She leaps up and grabs hold of amity's Shadow Staff. The two girls struggles in the dirt over possession of the shadow staff, until Scarlett flies over latches onto amity's face. Screaming in fear, amity flings all over until she kicks kim away and throws Scarlett off.
Kim uses an invisibility spell and disappears. Amity looks around with her shadow staff ready, waiting to find kim. She then hears something behind her and she swings her staff around, knocking kim on the head, forcing her to take a breath and reveal herself. Upon seeing that amity is smirking at her, amity then feels her staff burning and looks down to see two fire Glyphs on her staff, making her drop it before it explodes into ashes.
Amity hands began to glow with shadow magic and she fire purple projectiles at kim, who scampers to the other side to dodge the attack. Amity leaps forward with a purple energy sword which kim blocks with her palisman. Kim counters with by pulling out a flaming fire glyph, but amity is ready this time and conjures up a magic blast in her hand. The two attacks clash at the same time, and the force of the blast knocks both girls back. Amity gets to her feet first and tries to kick kim, but kim grabs Scarlett and flies high in the air to avoid it.
Kim then summoned her zodiac armor.
Fellow best friend, I am The Good Witch kim! Child of both the human and demon, jinchuuriki of the nine tails, And Warrior of peace! ...NOW EAT THIS SUCKAA!! Pegasus Meteor Fist Kim shouts.
Kim uses concentrates her cosmos on the hands and makes positions of the stars of the Pegasus Constellation, then, fires several punches capable of hitting the target at the speed of sound, like meteors., forcing amity to open a portal to escape. Amity appears again on a ledge above kim and shoots a wave of shadow magic at the tailed beast chakra Kim, who counters with her new Titan Squeal ability. The resulting collision of magic creates a shockwave rage sends them both back into the snow. Amity recovers first and summons shadow magic bats to attack kim. As the bats continue to scratch at kim, she summons a shield to protect her self and create a fire symbol to blast the bats away.

Oops, I missed, still getting the hang of these powers I should still train with naruto".kim said.
Clearly! Unlike you, i've been using my new powers much longer than you what my girlfriend would say.. NOW YOU EAT THIS…SUCKA!! Amity said.
Amity summons three Shadow Magic bats from her hand at chakra kim. Two hit kim, cutting her, until she uses scarlet to create a shield and protect herself. Kim the unleashes a Titan's sonic scream that pushes amity back. Amity opens a portal behind her that takes her back behind kim and summons a shadow staff to whack kim away.

Okay, Time for my Ace in the Hole.amity said.
Amity lifts her hands into the air to summon her magic to eclipse the sun around them. Kim and fly up to face amity, but she evades kim just in time and hides in the shadows. Kim carefully walks around looks for her opponent while amity silently keeps circling her and laughing as she hides in the shadows. A pair of glowing purple eyes come from the dark as Luz finally notices the Shadow Wizard in the corner.
Boo Amity said as she opens up two portal from her left and right side and fire out multiple objects at kim. Kim tries to use her shield to keep herself safe, but she can feel her power drained as the pressure builds up. Kim then blast the oncoming projectiles away and unleashes a blast of fire and ice magic at amity. Amity retaliates with her blast of Shadow Magic, which clashes with kim's Magic, both magic beams colliding with each other as both the Witch girls continue to hold their own. However kim's powers begin to weaken before amity performs an increased power blast, overpowering kim's magic and sending her. As Kim's chakra cloak begins to fade from her, amity steps forward and summons her palismen staff with all her remaining strength.
Kim stomps on the ground, revealing that while searching for amity, she drew a large ice glyph symbol in the ground, which amity was right in the middle of. Kim flys high as the ice spell activates, unleashing a giant block of ice all around the arena, freezing amity in place. With her last strength,she summons a fire spell and uses her Titan Squeal that incinerates and shatters the entire block of ice, knocking amity out unconscious.

Outside the arena
Hunter was finally healed and let Dicethrad go and said,"draal? garnet? Wulf?"
Garnet smiled and offered, "Care to drown your sorrows in a Surosian Liquid Protein Supplement?"
"Come join us friend." Wulf said in English.
Hunter,draal,Wulf and garnet sat at a table in a tavern and the waiter bought them their drinks. Draal,garnet and Wulf pulled out some coins and gave it to the waiter.
"This ones on us Hunter. Wulf never got the chance to properly thank you and your girlfriend dani." Draal said.
"For what?" Hunter asked.
Wulf held up his glass in the air and said, "Nia libereco."
"I'm only guessing, he means freedom right?" Hunter asked. "Dani taught me a few phrases in Esperanto just in case we met again."
Garnet smiled and nodded as he explained while recalling Wulf's escape from the walkers prison , "Yes. I'm are now free. Back at the ghost zone freeing him from walker again , the mayhem you and your girlfriend caused when you overthrew walker, gave Wulf the chance to escape."
"That prison was a messed up huh?" Raph asked, remembering the experience he and Dani went through back then.
"It's gotten well. Really well." Wulf said.
Garnet's smile as well she said, "Wulf is right.since you all managed to overthrow walker. And morro(from ninjago) is doing a great job as his replacement."
Draal took a sip of his drink. Hunter then began to drink, "Though it seems that even the Battle Nexus has corruption. We heard word of an attempt on the Daimyo's life, by some cowardly assassin witch and human."
Hunter suddenly chocked and spat out his drink as soon as draal said those words and asked in complete shock, "Did you say witch and human?!"
"There wasn't much about human except she had a blade, but the witch goes by the name of ra or racial." Wulf said.
Hunter stood up from his seat and said, "Or Rachel? That's my aunt and human has got to be my cousin luz and they're definitely not assassins!"
He then asked wanting to hear more, "What else have you two heard?"
"Only that they were caught in the act, it seems luz perished in her escape attempt from the palace and as for Rachel, she was imprisoned in the palace dungeon." Garnet answered.
"No way! It's gotta be a frame-up and as for luz, she's definitely alive and aunt rj probably ordered her to get away so she can find out who the real culprit is." Hunter said, determined to help his family.
She flew on the edge of the opened tavern and said, "I'm gonna bust rj out right now!"
Draal grabbed Hunter's arm and stopped him as he said, "Hunter that is a rash, foolhardy and extremely dangerous act….."
Garnet,draal and Wulf both then smiled and said together, "Count us in / Kalkulu nin en."
Hunter smiled at them both, glad to hear they were going to help him in his mission.
Meanwhile in the Healer's Pavilion.
the Master Healer was still healing the Daimyo's and Ue-Sama's injuries using many spells and herbs. Two guards stood at the door leading to the private room and in the other room, Sasha was still unconscious, but sprig,Polly,king,Chris and jack weren't in the room.
Suddenly five pellets were thrown in the pavilion and landed near the guards. Before the guards could react, smoke filled the air knocking the guards unconscious. The smoke then went through the door and began to fill the room with it, the Master Healer stood up in shock and coughed as he inhaled the smoke, before succumbing to it and falling unconscious just like the guards.
Five of the assassins then entered the pavilion and began to head towards where the Daimyo and Ue-Sama was. The first one stopped in front of Sasha and picked up her sword.
"What are you doing?" The second asked, confused by his partner's actions. "Our orders are to end the Daimyo's and Ue-Sama life."
"And so we shall, but we will make it look as if the half-ghost creature finished the work his master started." The first one explained.
With a node, the second one opened the door revealing the still unconscious Daimyo and Ue-Sama. They walked over to him and the first assassin raised one of sasha's swords above him, ready to bring the sharp blade down and end the Daimyo's and Ue-Sama's life once and for all.
But just as he was about to deliver the fatal blow, it was stopped by another blade. Before the assassins could react, one of them was suddenly knocked down by a sonic scream and the other one was kicked in the stomach, sending him flying back across the room.
It was sprig,polly,Chris,king,Jack and luz who had stopped them from killing the Daimyo and Ue-Sama. Luz had managed to reach Chris,sprig,Polly,king and jack on time and told them everything. Knowing that there may be another attempt to kill the Daimyo and Ue-Sama, they hid in the shadows and waited and it seemed their patience had paid off and now, they were ready to stop the assassins from completing their mission.
"Be alert Chris"luz,Sasha,Apollo and I have encountered these assassins before." Jack warned as they stood ready to fight the recovering assassins. "And they are extremely skilled and dangerous."
The assassins stood back up and one of them sent a chain flying at sprig in an attempt to attack. Polly jumps and dodged the oncoming attack, before rolling over and slamming her mace against the chain weapon and hitting the assassin in the face.
"You can say that again!" Chris exclaimed.
Jack however took that literally and once again repeated as he blocked the oncoming strike of the other assassin's spear, "Very well. They are extremely skilled and dangerous."
Jack continued to dodge the oncoming strikes and then swung his sword at the assassin he was fighting. The assassin blocked the blade, causing it to get stuck in the pole of the spear and then the assassin kicked Jack right through the screen door.
Luz faced the third assassin. It was sword against blade as the blades crashed against each other. Luz then pushed the assassin back, before leaping up and spun kicked the assassin right in the side of the head, knocking him out of the room and causing him to drop sasha's swords that he was using.
Luz picked up one of the sword and placed it back next to Sasha as he warned, "Never touch my friends sasha sword again!"
She leapt over and stood beside Chris. Suddenly a chain weapon grabbed Chris's staff and pulled it right out of his hand. Chris dodged the assassin's chain weapon as he continued to throw it at him. The assassin luz was fighting recovered quickly and pulled out a pair of butterfly swords.
He charged at luz and the two began to fight at close contact. The assassin that Chris was up against spun his chain weapon and came closer. Chris looked behind and saw the jars and medicinal herbs and uses his telekinesis to picked one of them up, he opened the lid and threw the contents straight at the assassin's face, blinding him and causing him to wrap his own weapon around himself.
Chris then punch back the assassin. He then turned and saw that the third assassin was about to kill the Daimyo and Ue-Sama. But just before the second attempt could be done, Chris uses his telekinesis to held the spear still,Polly then grabs jack's sword.
"I believe this belongs to my friend Jack!" Polly said, showing he now completely trusts Usagi.
Jack heard that as he got back up and saw Chris's staff on the ground and picked it up. Polly managed to pull the sword out as the assassin pushed him back. She was about to try and kill the Daimyo and Ue-Sama again, when suddenly Jack hit the back of his knees with the staff causing him to fall down and then hit him the chest with the staff knocking him back.
Jack smiled and said to Chris, "And I believe I have something of yours Chris."
Chris and jack exchanged weapons. Chris began attack the assassin with a series of strikes, but each one was blocked with the assassin's own weapon. Luz and the assassin she was fighting with, pushed their weapons against each other, until pushed him back a bit, slid down and spun around on his shell very fast, hitting the assassin and knocking him out cold into one of the shelves.
Jack and the first assassin stood face to face against each other. The assassin spun around his chain weapon and held it up straight. Jack used both his sword to cut the chain weapon in half, but the assassin threw the now two chain weapons straight at the samurai. Jack dodged the strike and flipped over the assassin.
The assassin wrapped the chains around jack's wrists and twisted him around, causing him to drop his sword and was now bound in chains. Jack thought quickly and pulled hard against the chains, flipping the assassin forward like a whip and then straight back into a shelf.
Luz suddenly saw that the last assassin was about to once again, attempt to kill the Daimyo and Ue-Sama with his spear. As fast as lightning, she ran over at super speed and blocked the blade of the spear with her sword, allowing king to super scream him the back and hold him against the ground with plant Vines using plant glyphs.
Jack,Chris,sprig, Polly and luz stood near king and held their weapons near his head. Luz then spoked, "We suggest you surrender. You're outnumbered."
The assassin however said nothing, except narrow his eyes at the open doorway of the room. Sprig then asked warily, "Uh guys….do you two get the feeling he knows something we don't?"
They all suddenly felt the presence of others in the pavilion. Luz,king,Chris,Polly and jack walked over to the doorway and looked up at the roof to see more assassins had arrived.
"Chris….I get the feeling we're in for the fight of our lives." King answered as the assassins jumped down, weapons in hands and ready to fight and destroy them.
