Disclaimer: Sorry again lol. Anyway...
I think it went without saying that there was going to be death in some capacities in this season finale. I have at least one confirmed death in all of them. There were plenty of changes that went in my head regarding who to kill for this finale though. I'll share the ones I thought of that didn't make the cut at the end of the finale. For now, let's have fun with the ride!
Also, I don't own Paw Patrol.
Paw Patrol X
Powered Up Pooches arc Episode Nineteen: Battle For Adventure City Part Two
Continuing from where the previous chapter left off, Arrby was going through with his sneak attack on Slash and Victoria. He kept a close eye on them while making sure he had everything. Before he made his move, a flashback began to show him telling Ryder of his plan right before they headed out. He used his powers to get the portals from Slash to do so. "I've had years to work on this power Ryder. I just have to plan out every move, and I'm set."
Ryder was skeptical, but he could see that Arrby was ready to make his move. "Did you give this as much thought as it looks?"
"If by that, you mean hours of hard planning, then yes." Arrby assured Ryder, knowing he had this. Or at least being confident that he did.
Ryder put a paw on Arrby's head, letting him know they had his back. "We'll be there to back you up if they overpower you. Just in case, slip a portal to Charm." Arrby smiled and nodded, heading over to Charm to do exactly that.
When the flashback ended, Arrby made the first step in his plan. 'No turning back now.' Arrby used his powers to spawn and throw a powered up net at Slash and Victoria. They turned around and evaded, but not before Arrby went through a portal to throw them off. He appeared on a sign above them after that and spawned a demon blinding flash grenade. Good thing the Paw Patrol still had plenty left over. He threw one down after detonating it, blinding Victoria, and especially Slash. With Slash more stunned, Arrby spawned a wrap up net.
Arrby threw the net at Slash before going through another portal. Victoria pulled him out of the way with Arrby appearing before Slash and Victoria. Victoria was furious when she saw Arrby standing there with his sly grin. "Great. Now the street rat's BOYFRIEND wants to mess with my brilliance." Victoria aimed a lightning zap at Arrby, but not before he spawned a barrier and activated it. Victoria groaned out of frustration as Arrby spawned another portal. This one was right above Victoria.
Slash recovered just as this portal spawned, and Arrby spawned a bucket he filled with water to douse her with and make her short circuit. Just before it could hit her, Slash pulled her out of the way. Arrby went through another portal he spawned when Victoria zapped through the first one with lightning. Here, he jumped out from a portal that appeared on the ground. He used this to throw another grenade at the ground. He covered his eyes when this blinded Slash again. Victoria ran for him just before he used another portal to vanish again.
This portal finished right behind Victoria, and Arrby tackled her and pinned her to the ground. He spawned a power suppressor Snow created for him and attached it to Victoria's back. While her enraged shock armor from this made Arrby bounce back, he wasn't stunned enough to be paralyzed. This allowed him to regain his balance easily. Arrby spawned another portal to deal with Slash and Victoria. When he emerged from it, he prepared another grenade.
Just as Arrby got ready to throw the grenade however, Slash covered his eyes upon Victoria's shout. "Slash! Don't look!" Victoria covered her eyes as well; and in that one second glimpse, Arrby spawned a gun and aimed it at Slash's head.
"DON'T MOVE!" Slash and Victoria saw what Arrby was doing as soon as they saw the gun. He was right behind Slash, and had a perfect angle at his head from where he stood. With all he'd done there, he clearly wasn't messing around. Slash and Victoria were surprised by this. And Arrby wasn't even on the Paw Patrol? Well, then again, Charm wasn't either, so that sentence alone didn't carry much weight. "I'm not gonna tell you twice! I want Sid back, and I want you to stop doing what you're doing, right now!"
Slash couldn't help but give a sadistic laugh. Arrby was about to pull the trigger, but Slash elbowed the gun up just in time. This caused a misfire, and Slash took the chance to grab the gun from Arrby upon turning around. He pointed it at Arrby, who made a split second decision to spawn another grenade. However, Slash pointed the gun at him as soon as he spawned it. And he knew that if he moved just one inch too much, he'd be dead where he stood. Slash grinned sadistically before making his own demand. "I have a much BETTER trade in mind."
Down in the streets, Wave and Snow were taking care of their next district. Coincidentally, they met Chase and Marshall in this district as well. Marshall cut off one of the demons with his fire blast, giving Wave enough time to strike. She jumped over the flame and punched the demon right on the top of the head. It hit its head on the ground as well upon impact. Wave rolled upon landing with Marshall burning the demon as soon as it fell to its back. After that, Wave and Marshall ran up to each other and hi pawed as Marshall praised Wave. "Nice work Wave."
"Thanks Marshall." Wave replied, looking around to find Chase and Snow taking out the last demon. Snow spawned a brick spike from a building, and Chase kicked the demon into it. Now that the demons were down, Wave got to telling Marshall about what happened. Once Chase and Snow came over of course. "Chase, Marshall, this might be important." Chase and Marshall listened as Wave filled them in. "Humdinger got killed by a faraway bullet. No one brought a sniper rifle, so-"
Just then, Slash and Victoria began broadcasting all over the city, just like Victoria once before. Sladh and Victoria were standing next to a tied up Arrby. Chase dashed up to the nearest monitor, demanding they release Arrby. "Let our friend go! We took our your demons, we can stop you too!"
Slash laughed in response, knowing he was much worse than his army. "That lie should be a crime Chase."
Victoria backed this up as she put her hand on Arrby's head. She moved it from side to side as she talked. "You know Slash could snap your neck in seconds!" Victoria laughed a bit before calling out to Liberty. "Oh, and to the street rat who got into the Paw Patrol..." Liberty was shown to be horrified at the sight of Arrby being captured. She was also filled with an unbreakable determination to save him. "We have your boyfriend again! We have your boyfriend again! Nah nah nah na boo boo!"
Victoria blew a raspberry at the screen just before Slash looked at Arrby. "Speaking of which, Arrby attempted to hold me at gunpoint during his little show of blindsiding us with my portals. In all honesty, I commend him for even being able to steal them from right under my nose." Slash laughed a bit, and then knelt down to Arrby. "Remind me Arrby. You said you wanted us to give you Sid back, right?"
"That's right! AND to stop attacking Adventure City!" Arrby demanded, glaring at Slash as he refused to let him fear him out of talking back.
Slash took Arrby's chin as he started taking notice of his exact words. "That's right. You said you wanted us to return Sid. However, and correct me if I'm wrong, even I'M capable of that. Did you tell us to give him back... alive?" Slash looked right at the camera for that last one. Everyone instantly caught onto what Slash meant. That made Arrby start shivering. And Slash feigned surprise when he saw it. "No?" And with glee, he took out a device to call for his next plan phase. "I don't think you did!"
Slash pressed a button that started allowing the super demons to rise on the map. It was only one for every member of the Paw Patrol, but it was still more than enough to give them all trouble. Victoria added to the intensity of this by reminding Arrby of the identity to one of the Super Demons. As if he needed it. "Don't forget Arrby. One of those Super Demons, is your precious Sid. And one of your friends is gonna kill him!" Victoria laughed a bit, and Slash noticed Charm pulling out a portal as Liberty ran over to her. "Good thing I'M the one doing the shocking!"
Victoria laughed a bit more with Slash noticing Charm and Liberty entering through the portal. Once they entered the roof area, Charm made their presence known. "Don't get too full of yourself. Slash does that enough."
Victoria looked with Slash, just as Liberty made it clear she wasn't backing down. "This street rat's about to take down the alley cat!" Victoria glared at Liberty and started to electrify herself. Despite having the power suppression device Arrby put on her, she was still ready to fight with what she had.
Just as Charm and Liberty started fighting Slash and Victoria, Rocky, Everest, and Rubble were fighting their three Super Demons. Everest started by freezing the ground around them. However, when she shot ice at one of the Super Demons, it proves their strength. While they were still slowed down by the blast, they were able to withstand it enough to brace the cold enough to keep moving forward. Meanwhile, the other Super Demons were charging at them while breaking the ice. Rubble kept his busy by rolling at it at a super high speed. "Rubble; wait!"
Despite Rocky trying to warn him, Rubble rode off. He took his Super Demon with him after he barely missed its shin. Claw spoke as they joined him and his Super Demon. "I'll keep him safe Rocky!"
The Super Demon Rocky faced attempted to stab him, but he was just fast enough to grab its claw and hold onto it. This led to him being held up in the air due to holding onto the claw. He took out a screw he brought and jumped off of the claw when the demon slashed at him again. Rocky sent one of the screws at the Super Demon's head, stabbing it right in the center.
The Super Demon was hurt by this, but he was still able to jump up and pound Rocky into the ground. This sent him crashing into three parked cars; the one he collided with flipped after hitting the other two. Rocky jumped off and went onto a lamppost, which the Super Demon charged towards. It jumped up and attempted to slash at Rocky, only for him to jump up as well. He jumped on his Super Demon before hearing Everest yelp in pain. Rocky looked and saw that Everest had been smacked into a building by her Super Demon, prompting him to chase after her.
Rocky sent some more nails at his Super Demon to stun him. But it swatted them away and charged at Rocky. Rocky deflected the Super Demon's slash with a nearby pipe, stunning it long enough to kick it back. After that, Rocky got near Everest, who made them an ice pillar to stand on. They got onto a nearby roof with Rocky checking Everest's wounds. "Thanks Rocky."
"Happy to assist." Rocky responded, and thankfully, Everest wasn't actually wounded. This helped greatly when the Super Demons teleported up to knock them back down. Rocky, knowing Everest wasn't immune, grabbed her and took the hits for them. When they tumbled, Rocky let go right at the end. They got back up to continue fighting the enemies. Rocky started fending off his with a pipe, using the close range weapon combat training Charm gave him to do so. As for Everest, the best she could do is use her ice to create wall poles to climb up.
And even then, the Super Demon would just start climbing at her when she got high enough. She used her ice blasts when it started jumping, which managed to stun it just enough to avoid being attacked. At least this way, Everest could think of a plan while evading well enough to stay in the fight.
Ryder and Richie were fending off against two Super Demons as well. They were having among the easiest times in the fight. But it was still quite the struggle for them. Even with Richie's demon powers, the Super Demons were quite the challenge. Richie attempted to blindside his opponent by turning invisible, but it didn't work. The Super Demons had some kind of sensing powers that let them see where he was. Thankfully, Richie was still able to block the Super Demon's slash. He took his gun out and fired, causing the Super Demon to teleport three times.
Ryder was struggling just a bit more than Richie. While he was able to avoid being scratched by the Super Demon, it was still a challenge to evade its attacks. Ryder took a huge risk and dodged the Super Demon's thrust before grabbing its claw. He threw the Super Demon over his shoulder and shot a bullet at it, striking it in the head. After it regained its balance, it dashed at Ryder, who put up a walking barrier just in time to block it. As soon as he deactivated it, he kicked the Super Demon back.
Richie ducked underneath his Super Demon's lunging slash and kicked it into the air. He jumped as high as he could and got ready to strike. The Super Demon was able to clash with all of his sword swings, prompting him to grab the Super Demon's claw mid air with his feet. When he tried to shoot the Super Demon, it teleported, only for Richie to land and perform a spinning slash. He managed to slash the Super Demon, causing it to jump back after being slashed in the gut. It regenerated with Richie dashing at it and aiming a swift sword stab.
Ryder took out a demon blinding flash grenade and used it on his Super Demon just after jumping over a slash. He was forced to grab the Super Demon's claw as it aimed a spin slash at him. After barely avoiding infection from its touch, Ryder covered his eyes, and the Super Demon was stunned. "Richie! Now!" Richie saw Ryder's Super Demon struggling and kicked his own opponent over to it. Richie's Super Demon skidded, but just before it stopped, Ryder shot it in the back of the head.
The Super Demon turned around just as Ryder readied another grenade. He activated another walking barrier just before Richie stabbed his Super Demon in the head. The other one was still up and active, and it slashed at Richie, who dodged and slashed upward at the same time. Once its claw was chopped off, Ryder deactivated the barrier and threw the grenade. Richie covered his eyes, and the Super Demon was so badly blinded that it couldn't regenerate. Richie then stabbed the Super Demon in the head, finishing it off once and for all.
Despite Ryder and Richie's victory, the fact that they had to catch their breath was proof they were exhausted. Knowing they couldn't fight the Super Demons in this state, Richie made a suggestion. "I think we should take a minute Ryder."
"Good call. We'll be completely outclassed if we go in tired." Ryder said, understanding where Richie was coming from. They could only hope the others would fare as well as they did. If they were struggling, imagine how the others must've had it.
Skye and Zuma were flying high to avoid their Super Demons and plan their win. Zuma shot water to knock them back when they jumped high enough, or teleported to them. While their plan was working well enough at the moment, Zuma knew he'd run out of water eventually. "We're gonna need a plan B Skye! I'll get totally dwained at this wate!"
"You have to have more attacks than just water blasts!" Skye suggested, knowing that now would be a good time for some new weapons, even if they were elemental. "Try making a water knife or something!"
Zuma dodged another Super Demon's slash, and Skye kicked it down as he attempted her idea. Surely enough, he was able to create a water knife with ease. All it took was thinking about it, and morphing his water into it. However, this came at another risk, as he was about to see. When one of the Super Demons teleported to them again, Zuma was able to deflect its slash. But the water knife vanished as soon as the collision occurred. This concerned Skye and Zuma, who still had limited options. "What I wouldn't give to have Chawm's awsenal wight now."
Zuma started to think about what else he could do and directed Skye over to a roof. "Skye! Onto that woof!"
"On it!" Skye responded, flying Zuma over to the roof he pointed to. It was pretty high up, so the demons would have to teleport or climb up to them. "We're gonna have to be fast Zuma!"
"We will! I just wanna twy something!" Zuma assured Skye, being on guard for when one of the Super Demons appeared before them. It jumped at them, but Zuma reacted quickly, and created a water spike that pierced its gut! The Super Demon was held up during the bit where the spike stabbed him. And when it started to fall, Zuma kicked him back. It regained its balance, but Zuma now had a good idea on what to do. When the other Super Demon appeared, Zuma jumped off the building and called to Skye. "Catch me if ya can!"
Skye dove down as fast as she could; and since Zuma knew Skye would catch him, he was as laid back as could be during the fall. Skye flew off with Zuma and dodged the Super Demons slashes just in time. As they flew off, Skye revealed that she caught onto Zuma's idea. "You think you can get them in the head with that?"
"That's the plan. But we'll need a good setup." Zuma admitted, knowing he couldn't just wing it with something like this. "Good thing I had a light bweakfast."
"Zuma, we ALL had a light breakfast." Skye reminded Zuma, making Zuma laugh as they devised their plan. Zuma was still scared, obviously, but he was less so now that he had a plan.
Wave, Marshall, Snow, and Chase were struggling against their own Super Demons as well. This was evident when Wave deflected one slash, only to then get swatted back. She regained her balance and backflipped onto a car. When the Super Demon got its claw stuck in the car, Wave jumped at it and aimed an enhanced punch. She missed however, when the Super Demon teleported. She rolled on instinct, attempting to low sweep the Super Demon when it appeared in front of her. When it jumped, she rolled to the side, dodging its downward slash.
Marshall was keeping his Super Demon busy with his fire attacks. He managed to trap it in a fire circle on the ground, and was ready to rise it. When he did, he was sure the Super Demon was trapped. But when he got ready to burn the inside of the circle, the Super Demon jumped through, showing its endurance. Marshall was stunned by this and attempted to aim a fire blast at the Super Demon. However, it swatted him to the side, making him tumble and skid on the ground.
Snow saw this and created a demon blinding flash grenade to throw to Marshall. "Marshall! Heads up!" Marshall noticed the grenade and rolled away from the Super Demon's diving stab just in time. It barely missed, and Marshall covered his eyes and let the Super Demon go blind.
Marshall started trying the trick from before now that he had more time to succeed. He called over to Snow, who was still fighting her own Super Demon. "Thanks Snow! Hope you're ready for some demon barbecue!"
"Just as long as mine's on a bun!" Snow called back, dodging the Super Demon's slash and creating a street spike for it to barely avoid. Snow then created a blinding grenade herself, throwing it at the ground and blinding her demon. At the same time as when she started stabbing her demon, Marshall rose the fire circle up at full force. This caused his Super Demon to cry out in pain as it burned to a crisp. Snow stabbed her Super Demon in the head as soon as the cry was heard. It proved that it could take a stab when it shook Snow off after that.
Snow fell to the ground, but got back up quickly. Just in time for Wave to save her with a running enhancement kick as well. "You okay Snowflake?"
"Sure am. Thanks Crasher." Snow answered, revealing her nickname for Wave as she did. Wave took a liking to it, making Snow glad upon seeing her smile. If only they had time to have an exchange over it. They were forced to dodge the Super Demons' attacks again after that. Snow then realized she hadn't seen Chase for most of the fight. "Where's Chase!?"
Chase zipped past them at that moment, keeping the Super Demon busy by making it teleport. Wave and Snow entered a blade struggle, and a punch collision, when Wave answered. "Knowing him, trying to uphold the laws with these demons!" Snow snickered a bit as she rolled her eyes, jumping back with Wave as they continued to avoid their enemies' attacks.
Chase was keeping his Super Demon busy the best he could. Every time it teleported, he zipped just a couple feet away. At one point, it lunged at him. So he quickly dashed and jumped over it. After kicking it into the ground, he took his gun out and shot at it multiple times. Only one bullet hit however, and it wasn't on the head. Chase landed on his front paw and used it to jump away from another teleporting slash. Knowing he couldn't beat the Super Demon on his own, he made the choice to regroup with the others. He dashed over to them in a hurry.
Marshall's Super Demon once again proved how durable it was when it took his attack and remained alive. It was still wounded, but it was still able to teleport and attempt to stab Marshall. He barely dodged the next slash before blinding it with fire. He ran off to rejoin the others, knowing they'd all need a plan. Once the four were reunited, Wave punched her demon back, and Snow blinded hers to kick it back as well. Chase advised Snow to continue with her power. "Snow! More blinding grenades, stat!"
"On it!" Snow responded, throwing the first one she spawned to the ground after warning the others. "Now!" Everyone blinded their eyes with the Super Demons being blinded just before one could hit Wave. Its claw was two inches away from her face when the blinding happened. With all of them blinded, Wave and the others knocked them all back. They were all struggling to keep their breath. Wave remained optimistic in spite of it. "We can do this. We just need a plan." Chase started hatching a plan of his own. One that could use their signature abilities.
Liberty and Charm were still doing their best with Slash and Victoria. They were both evenly matched with their opponents, as shown when Charm and Slash entered a blade struggle. Once they did, Charm jumped up and punched Slash in the face, causing him to step back. He pushed him back with his palm, and Charm used his knife to regain his balance. He charged at Slash, who collided several knife clashes with him. At one point, he grabbed Charm's arm and attempted to stab his head. He caught the knife in his mouth, which caught Slash off guard.
What Charm did next would do this even more. After yanking the knife out of Slash's paw, he bit down on the knife and broke off the tip! Charm took the chance to low kick Slash, who stepped up just in time before kicking Charm back. Charm skidded on the ground a bit before spitting out the piece of knife he bit off at Slash. Slash caught it before acknowledging how risky Charm was with that move. "That was quite the deadly game of chance you played there, Charm."
"It was as deadly as it was sharp it seems!" Charm shouted before charging at his father again. The two engaged in paw to paw combat, colliding several blows while blocking and deflecting several others. They also made sure to evade the blows they had enough time to do so far. Charm jumped over a low sweep Slash aimed at him, and Slash blocked a spin kick that was aimed at his face. Charm pushed off of his arm after that, only for Slash to grab his tail. Slash started spinning Charm around, only for Charm to take his guns out.
Charm shot at Slash, who felt the bullet hit his ear, causing him to let go of Charm. Despite being a little dizzy, Charm was able to recover from his tumble quickly. He skidded right to the edge of the roof before firing another bullet at Slash. Slash caught the bullet in his mouth, making Charm start to enjoy the battle even more. "Guess I'm not the ONLY one fond of using my teeth!"
Slash caught the bullet after dropping it form his mouth as he began his retort. "I'm just glad you remembered to brush." Slash and Charm dashed at each other, punching each other in the face after Charm jumped up. Charm grabbed Slash's paw and gave him a sadistic grin; Slash doing the same as he finished his retort. "I have better ideas of where to drill that hole."
With Liberty and Victoria, the two were in quite the tussle, even with Victoria's electric powers being lowered from Arrby's device. Liberty used her stretchy powers to zone in when she got far away, as well as catch or dodge Victoria's strikes. She used them to jump over her before stretching her front paws down at her. After smacking her in the face with them, she landed behind her and wrapped herself around her legs. This made Victoria trip and fall over, allowing Victoria to continue wrapping herself around her. "Game over Victoria! You can't shock this!"
Victoria groaned in annoyance before attempting to roll herself over with all her might. Liberty was surprised by this level of strength. It was clear that Victoria wasn't about to let Liberty upstage her. "No way. I'm not going down that easy!" Victoria hit Liberty's face with the back of her head, making her yelp and loosen her grip a little. She tried to get it back up, but Victoria was able to free one of her arms and grab Liberty's face with it. Liberty tried to bite her, but Victoria grabbed her throat.
Arrby, who was still tied up, was nearby when she heard Victoria start to strangle Liberty. Her sounds of gasping for air brought horror to his eyes. His voice said it all when he looked in her direction. "LIBERTY!" Liberty managed to free herself by using her stretchy powers to punch Victoria in between the eyes. This made her stumble back, but she planned her fall when Liberty fell to the ground. She could still feel the device Arrby put on her, and sought to break it. She fell, hitting her back at just the right angle; just as Arrby fell back in the chair.
Arrby broke the chair and called over to Liberty, who was still recovering from being strangled. She stretched over to Arrby and untied him, just before Victoria zapped him back with a full power strike. This sent him into the wall, making Liberty cry out in fear. "ARRBY!" Arrby was paralyzed after that, and Liberty glared at Victoria once she noticed this. Victoria walked over to Liberty, who was done going soft on her. For good. "You can hurt me all you want! But you won't hurt my friends!"
"Awww, how cute." Victoria said sarcastically. She started to electrify herself when she attempted to tear Liberty down. "You try to protect this city, but you can't even protect a single dog. You really are pathetic Liberty." Victoria laughed with Liberty shaking her words off. This time, she was much more capable of brushing them off as an attempt to break her. "You couldn't stop the meteor, you couldn't stop our first two attacks, and you couldn't stop Arrby from coming after us! What CAN you do right!? Besides cry about your past that is!"
"I can do a lot more than YOU can!" Liberty shot back as soon as Victoria started laughing. This stopped her laughter as Liberty told Victoria off for the type of person she truly was. "When I told you we both had hard lives, I was trying to help you. But all you've been doing since the meteor incident shows it. You can't be helped!" Victoria clenched her fists when Liberty said what she said next. "You're always trying to prove you're better than me; better than everyone! But you're not."
Arrby watched during his paralysis as Liberty tore into Victoria's problems. "You're just an insecure, envious, sociopathic attention hog, who gets off on showing the world her 'brilliance', when all she does is try to hurt those who supposedly look down on her!" Victoria started to lose her mind as Liberty kept going. "You'll always be sad, alone, and miserable. Or you would be without Slash. Because the world only sees you as a mad scientist." Liberty's face showed anger, contempt, and confidence. "And no one else sees you, as Victoria Vance."
Victoria started to lose control of her lightning powers, which rose more and more as her rage increased. "Shut up." Victoria glared at Liberty, who stood her ground once she got in front of Arrby to protect him. "Shut up!" Victoria took notice to her power, and let lose to hit Liberty with every last volt. "SHUT UP!" Victoria created a massive force of electricity around her, hitting Liberty, Charm, and Slash with it. Liberty managed to cover Arrby with her powers just in time.
Victoria let out all of her rage at Liberty after she rose up as high as she could go. "I've always known I was a mad scientist! But mad and brilliant aren't always mutually exclusive! And I'm going to prove that! Even if I have to kill everyone who stands in my way!" Victoria started powering up the ultimate lightning bolt; something that even Liberty wouldn't be able to stop on her own. "And that... includes..." Victoria formed the bolt into a massive ball. Just before she launched it, Liberty instantly realized what it was she had to do. "YOU!"
Liberty left her position and stretched up at the ball. She pushed back against it as hard as she could, but Victoria's strength was overwhelming her. She could barely keep herself from going farther than she already was. Arrby knew she needed help, looking around for anything he could use to help her out. Charm and Slash had stopped their fighting briefly to get a look at what was happening. It amazed them for sure. Liberty and Victoria were putting in a lot of power.
Arrby then remembered the portals and spawned one with his powers. He looked up at Victoria and realized he'd only have one shot with this. So before he spawned the other portal, he spawned a second electricity suppressor. Rocky made him a second one from the one Ryder made him, just in case. He acted as quickly as he could while staying behind Liberty. He spawned the portal on the wall behind them and threw the device in. Victoria looked up as the portal appeared right above her. But she couldn't dodge. The suppressor landed on her forehead.
Victoria felt her powers start to weaken at that moment. This gave Liberty the help she needed to push the orb back at Victoria. While it didn't do any damage, Victoria still fell from how exhausted she was. After Victoria fell to the ground, Charm lunged at Slash to keep him busy once again. As Charm and Slash fought, Victoria and Arrby walked up to Victoria. Liberty hated the idea of what she was about to do. She pointed her gun at Victoria, doing her best to finish her off.
But she couldn't. All she could do was shiver at the thought of killing her. As horrible as she was, killing anyone scared Liberty. She didn't know what would happen to her if she took someone's life. But she knew she had to finish Victoria off for good. Victoria gave a smug grin when she realized Liberty was struggling. Liberty started to cry silently when she realized how much she was struggling. She couldn't bring herself to kill someone. It just wasn't in her blood. Arrby saw what Liberty was going through and offered to do it himself. "Give me the gun Liberty."
Liberty looked at Arrby, who knew she didn't have to go through this alone. Just because she grew, didn't mean she couldn't be scared, or overwhelmed. "I'll do it." Liberty handed Arrby the gun, but he had her continue to hold onto it. Not on the trigger, but on his own paw, and to help him aim. Seeing what Arrby was doing, the two of them aimed the gun at Victoria. Knowing there was no way out, Victoria gave one last taunt to Liberty. "To think I was beaten by a street rat."
Liberty gave one back, showing Victoria how much she despised her. "At least this street rat has a heart." Arrby's finger was the one on the trigger. Liberty had her finger over his paw. Together, they pulled the trigger, finishing Victoria with a loud...
BANG!
Charm and Slash heard the gunshot just after Charm kicked Slash's side and blocked his punch to make him tumble back. Slash was shocked by the outcome of Liberty and Arrby's battle with Victoria. She thought for sure Victoria would've come out on top. This was yet another example of him underestimating his opponent. Just like he did in Wolfland when he dropped his guard at Charm's base. However, he smiled when he remembered one more thing he had planned. "Well done you two. You actually managed to kill my right hand woman."
Liberty couldn't be more grateful to Arrby for that. She knew she couldn't have done that alone. It motivated her words towards Slash. "Give it up Slash. Even with your power, you can't beat us alone."
"You're right about that Liberty." Slash pulled out a device and pressed it instantly. "But I'm not alone." This device revealed the one Super Demon who wasn't involved in the battle until now. When Liberty, Arrby, and Charm looked at the portal that was created, the look left Arrby in horror and shock. The Super Demon that emerged from the portal was none other than the Super Demon Sid had turned into. He had an eye patch, even though he didn't need one, and even his pirate hat. Arrby was overwhelmed with emotion at the sight of this.
Liberty took notice as Arrby took a step forward, trying to convince him to stay back. "Arrby, wait!"
But Arrby didn't listen. He couldn't hear Liberty over his spiraling emotions. All he could do was desperately try to speak to his best friend, and owner. "Sid... is that... you?" Sid looked at Arrby, seemingly having more sentience than the other Super Demons. Arrby held onto hope when Sid didn't attack right away. He prayed that somehow, he could get through to Sid. "It's me Sid! It's Arrby! You rescued me from-"
"Hit him." Slash commanded, and Sid instantly obeyed, swatting Arrby into a nearby wall on the roof. Liberty attempted to run over to Arrby, only for Slash to stop her. "Stop her!" The Super Demon appeared in front of Liberty, who glared and growled at him as Slash shared his idea. "I wonder. What would a pirate do in a situation where his decade long best friend was turned into a monster, and was fighting the love of his life?" Slash gleefully looked at Arrby, who was in shock over what just happened. "Take your time. This question has no right answer."
Charm readied his flaming sword to continue fighting Slash, who faced him and took his sword back out to continue fighting. Liberty was cornered with Sid refusing to let her get by to help Arrby. Arrby was in utter shock and disbelief. He kept telling himself this wasn't real. 'No. This can't be happening. Sid would never hit me! This has to be a dream!'
