48. Supervillain Lockdown Part 2

A/N: Part 2 begins now! What is in store for these teams in these final battles? Find out now!

"Welcome back! Let's bring you guys back into the action as the Rats are the first to face the last of their tests for this challenge. And one of them includes….. fighting themselves! Will they get through or will they be replaced? Let's check it out!" Chris announced.

The five originals were having their moves matched by their silent mirror image counterparts.

The second Rick pulled out another weapon, his counterpart matched him with the exact same weapon or a counter for that weapon. The same thing applied to the others, even Axl's vast weaponry and shapeshifting.

Tangle tried to use her speed and her tail to her advantage against her counterpart, knowing how she can be grabbed, but her mirror wasn't falling for it, with the clone Axl actually working with her to grab the original Tangle's tail. The clone Tangle grabbed her original's body with her tail before flinging her, causing her to go into some cube-shaped rock formations.

"Okay. Now I see how others feel when I do it to them." Tangle said, in pain after going into the rocks.

"Cicini!" Bennett called out and nodded to her weapon with him making a turning symbol with his hands to indicate a switch. Understanding this, she switched weapons with him. They tried to use this to their advantage against their counterparts, but that also proved to be a failure as their counterparts simply switched opponents with each other.

"Looks like they traded personality with brains." Bennett commented as he had to dodge several projectiles from the high jumping Cicini clone.

"Yeah, and it's p[censored]ing me off." Rick added, unable to get the one-up on his counterpart. All of his tricks, including the guns he got from Hiruma, were all accounted for and were either copied and cancelled out, countered, or actually done better by the clone.

One of Bennett's arms looked as if it had a robotic arm equipped to it akin to Iron Man's as he fired it, though that was accounted for as well.

"This doesn't make any sense! I literally have never showcased this at all! How does it know!?" Bennett said.

"They know our moves, but other than that, they're running on autopilot. All they have to do is wait for us to do something and then use our own knowledge against us and counter. That's exactly why they haven't been the aggressors at all. Even now." Axl said as both the originals and the copies were idly standing.

"I think we've already figured out the countering aspect. Tell us something we don't know." Rick said.

"Well, how about the fact that that'll be our downfall." Axl stated bluntly.

"And just think about it, the last stage will be even harder than this one. How do you expect to win that if you can't even figure out how to beat yourselves?" A voice bellowed above them, the same as the first one.

"I hate to say it, but I'm really starting to believe he's got a point." Bennett said low to the rest of his teammates.

"Then let's use the one thing that we haven't tried yet. Get help." Cicini proposed.

"Who's to say they don't have the ability to do that too?"

"Well, we won't know unless we try." Cicini said before choosing someone to help them.

"Guessing you're going with Natsu on this again?" Axl asked.

"You'll see."

Suddenly, someone was brought in. That someone being Adrien, who was just as confused as several other people, from his team and outside of it.

"Uh….." Adrien started before trailing off as he looked around.

"Okay, if you would have brought in say X, Zero, Lucy, or heck, even Albedo to use the same trick the Kings used with Clockwork, that would have made sense. But this? I'm not understanding this at all." Bennett said.

"Yeah, you've got some explaining to do here." Axl said.

"I appreciate you picking me but with all due respect, what exactly do you expect me to do that others can't?" Adrien asked.

"You've got the Kwami of destruction, right? Now would be the perfect time to cause a cat-astrophe!" Cicini answered.

Bennett facepalmed after hearing that pun from her.

"Wait, that's it! I know what she's trying to do. Gotta give it to ya, that's some good thinking. Now you better hope it works or I'm instantly taking back what I said." Rick said.

"Hey Adrien, are you thinking what I'm thinking?" Plagg asked, now appearing aside him from out of his jacket.

"If it's cheese, no." Adrien responded.

"For once, it's not cheese. Now, it's time to cause some trouble!"

"Oh! How could I not think of that earlier?" Adrien said, hitting himself on the forehead with the palm of his hand.

"You might want to make it quick. That time is ticking." Rick said.

"You got it! Plagg! Claws out!" Adrien called out before transforming into Cat Noir.

"I'm at a loss. What are they going to do?" Natsu asked his teammates.

"Just watch. You'll see." Kurt said, already figuring it out himself.

Almost instantly after he transformed, he performed the cataclysm, instantly getting rid of all of the replicas in the area, as nothing but blocks were seen before they dissipated, as if they were a video game character that died.

"And that's that." Adrien declared as he returned to normal.

"Thanks for the help!" Cicini said.

"Anytime." Adrien said before eventually disappearing seconds later. The next thing they knew, the sky cleared and the sun could be seen along with a now blue sky above them.

"Well, that's the last of our assists, with the exception of full-stage help. Now we've got to do this on our own." Axl said.

"And it'll only get harder from here. It's probably best we save that for the last stage." Bennett added.

"Regardless of how hard that mystery voice claimed it'll be, I'd rather deal with anything else but that again. At least then we'll have a fighter's chance to win." Tangle said.

"Are you sure about that?" Another voice said, one all but familiar to the five. Two figures were seen walking in the distance not too far where the five were. The source of the voice, Slyger, now had a robot-like appearance, with purple armor and a yellowish-green visor covering four glowing green eyes. A purple tail and cat-like ears were seen on the top of its head along with two blades on both arms resembling claws.

The second figure, Granox, now had gray armor with a white visor covering his glowing green eyes. On the forehead area was a horn similar to a rhinoceros'. He carried an axe and a shield. "Well, well, look who we have here."

"It looks as if fortune has smiled upon us. Not only do we get to deliver the Dragon Cube to Vilius, but we get to exact our revenge on these five!" Slyger said.

"So our last stage is a rematch? " Axl said.

"Even if you come back stronger, we can still take you." Tangle said before she already had chosen someone to assist them. That someone being Whisper, who looked around, surprised.

"Why-" Whisper started before Tangle instantly answered her question.

"Don't worry. I'm confident you can help us get the job done." Tangle said, putting a reassuring and encouraging hand on her shoulder.

"Enough messing around! Nothing will stand in the way of our objective! Not the Knights, and especially not you." Granox said, pointing his axe at the five.

"Alright, I know this is going to be déjà vu but, let's get this s[censored] over with." Rick said.

"I do not know of this, 'déjà vu' you speak of, but I do know of ending a battle quickly. And that, we can agree on." Slyger said.

"Considering how outnumbered you are again like last time, I think you should be the last two to be confident like you've already beaten us." Axl said.

"Underestimate us at your peril!" Slyger said before sending a streak of green energy from his claws across the ground towards them, all of which they jumped over easily.

"Got you!" Granox declared, jumping at them, but was sent flying back to the ground by the weapons of Axl, Rick, Whisper, Cicini and Bennett. "Okay. Bad idea."

"Don't get too overaggressive you fool!" Slyger yelled.

"Quiet!" Granox yelled back, still on the ground.

Axl took the opportunity to fire at him, but the shots were blocked by Slyger, who fired another energy beam from his claws.

"Don't expect me to thank you." Granox said, standing up.

"You wouldn't have to thank me if you weren't so overaggressive." Slyger said.

"With how much you two argue, I'm convinced you're in a relationship with each other. However that works." Rick said.

"What!? You dare mock us?" Slyger replied.

"Now you'll pay!" Granox said, before the two resumed attacking the six.

"Wait a second, so you know about being gay but you don't know about déjà vu? What the f[censored] kind of logic is that?" Rick asked, as they continued to exchange attacks, with Slyger and Granox, despite being outnumbered by four and were embarrassed in their last meeting, were holding out quite well against them.

"What's gay?" Granox asked, confused, as he looked at Slyger. But this distraction allowed Tangle the opportunity to try and pull his shield away from him.

"So you were using this as confusion to distract me! Clever, but not clever enough!" Granox said as he tried to pull the shield back. The break to the tug of war being Axl, who caused him to have to accept losing the shield to avoid getting hit by the laser coming his way, just as he was about to slice at Tangle's tail with his axe.

"Willing to bet that wasn't the first time someone's tried to chop that off has it?" Axl said to Tangle jokingly.

"Probably not. Can't say I remember to be honest." Tangle replied.

"Even though they're outnumbered, you gotta admit, they're holding out pretty well." Mr. Wolf commented, referring to Granox and Slyger.

"True. But still, this should be an easy win for them. Especially if they're dumb enough to not even try to go Titan Mode." Toxsa said.

"Wait, those two can go Titan Mode?" Sena asked.

"Yeah. Was kinda surprised when they first unlocked that power-up myself. But hey, if they're not gonna use it, oh well."

"Either they're just that stupid, or they're up to something. Hopefully it's the former, because it really seems like it is." Rei said.

"As much as I would like to stay positive, I am afraid it might be the former. They may be robots, but that gato and rinoceronte may be more clever than they let on." Puss said.

"Hey, anyone notice that they're fighting a cat too? And we're cat-themed?" Kise pointed out.

"Cool, I guess?" Noah said, unsure how else to react to Kise's out of the blue comment.

"If it helps, I think it's interesting. I never even caught on to that myself." Lotte offered.

"Now, I have a riddle for you!" Tangle said. after avoiding three-way split energy blasts by Slyger using her speed.

"Stand still!" Slyger said, frustrated that he couldn't hit any of them. And the hits that he did land, were blocked by the forcefields from Rick, Bennett, and Cicini.

"First you're tired of riddles now you want to give one yourself. Make up your mind already." Axl joked.

"Who's going to be full of dents and sent to the scrapheap when this is done?" Tangle asked, running around him and Granox, the confusion of who to attack frustrating the two before making Granox dizzy and allowing Axl to grab ahold of Slyger's tail from behind. She then hit grabbed Granox with her tail.

"Uh….. can we get a hint?" Granox asked, still dizzy and holding his head.

"The answer is easy. You two!" Tangle said before sending Granox flying with her tail.

"I WOULD HAVE NEVER GUESSED THAAAAAAT!" Granox yelled out as he was sent flying.

Now all that was left was Slyger, who was terrified at being left alone with the six.

"Gotta admit, you may have not been pushovers like last time, but still, you guys still aren't good." Axl said, pointing his weapon at him, preparing to finish him off. "And also, that wasn't a riddle. That was way too obvious." He said to Tangle.

"Well, I tried." Tangle replied, shrugging. "But anyways, great job Whisper!" She said, hitting her on the back, knocking her forward a little, to the surprise of the Wolf who was focused on ending the battle with Slyger, pointing her Wispon at him.

In the distance, Granox was with another figure in mostly black armor and had a long red cannon on his right shoulder. That figure being a soldier of the Corrupted army.

"Well? What are you waiting for? Hurrry up and fire it!" Granox commanded impatiently.

"The weapon is only charged at 87%. It needs-"

"I don't care! Fire it now!" Granox commanded, stomping the ground as he did.

"Honestly, if it wasn't for this, I'd say you two were pretty pathetic. So at the very least, you did redeem yourselves." Bennett said to Slyger.

"W-wait! Please! Show mercy!" Slyger pleaded.

"F[censored] off." Rick said. A trigger was pulled. But it wasn't just from Rick. It was from somewhere else as dust was seen surrounding everyone. When the dust cleared, Cicini was on the ground before disappearing and Slyger was gone.

"Cicini!" Axl, Tangle and Bennett called out.

Granox, who returned, was seen laughing, along with a bull that had a black body, a yellow and silver head, black horns with red tips at the end, yellow feet, red eyes and blue ears.

"You." Bennett said.

"Yeah. That's right. You thought you had it won didn't you?" Granox said. "It's too bad that blast couldn't get all of you but whatever. More for me! And less for Slyger!" He said before laughing. But his laughing would be interrupted by Bennett, who blasted him, a blast that may have either heavily damaged him or obliterated him if he didn't attempt to block with his axe, which somewhat worked.

"Okay. Ow." Granox said, on the ground. Bennett tried to do the same thing with the robotic arm he had from before to the bull, but it didn't work, with it charging at him, forcing him to have to roll out of the way to avoid being trampled. Axl's standard bullets from his pistol seemed to have no effect, and it was quick enough to dodge Rick's shots.

"Toro! Toro! Come on!" Tangle called out. Using her speed, she dodged the bull's charge before grabbing onto its cannon with her tail to try and pull the cannon off, only for it to shake her off and then try to shoot her with it, with Axl rolling to save her and stop her from taking the direct hit.

"Okay. Note to self. Never do that again." Tangle said.

"What was your first hint?" Axl replied.

"Hope I'm not interrupting a moment between you tw-ah!" Granox started before being attacked by Bennett again out of anger.

"Uh oh. Looks like someone's upset I took their friend away from them." Granox said, now having his shield back and trying to block or dodge the blasts Bennett sent his way.

"Shut….. up!" Bennett yelled before continuing to attack him. But the bull stepped in front of the remaining attacks he sent his way.

"If you actually think you have a chance against us, you have another thing coming!" Granox said. "And now you're about to see why!"

Both Granox and the bull were starting to glow. The former in a greyish blue and the bull in a dark blue.

Granox spins his axe before going through a similar transformation process as Toxsa as Valorn on his Titan Mode, first turning into a brick. "Granox! Tenkai Titan Mode! Activate!"

Like Valorn, his size increased, he gained more armor plating, but unlike him, on his chest was an additional rhinoceros-like horn. Also, unlike him, he also lost his shield, but in return, he now wielded a club instead of an axe.

As he whirled his new weapon of havoc, electricity started to come from it.

"For Vilius, and victory!" He announced, completing the transformation.

The bull roared before beginning its transformation. The roar translating to: "Hos! Tenkai Titan Mode! Activate!"

Like its predecessors, its size expanded, with its horns now being orange and its head now being blue. Its cannon also grew in size along with it. After finishing its transformation, it roared again.

The pair landed on the ground, standing over their now smaller opponents.

Music Stops

"Wait, even the bull has Titan Mode!? Can everyone where you come from do that?" Akko asked Toxsa, horrified at the prospect of them being undersized against not only Granox but the Hos bull as well.

"Thankfully, no." Toxsa answered.

"Now what do you have to say to that!?" Granox taunted before laughing.

"Yeah, I think I understand why they're the final stage now." Axl said.

"We might be in trouble…." Tangle added.

"They underestimated Granox and Slyger. And now they might be about to pay for it in the worst way possible." Blaze thought.

"The old fashioned stuff ain't gonna work on them. We're gonna need the big boys to take these two out." Rick said.

"Already on it…." Whisper replied, changing her Wispon to fire more heavy hitting shots than what she used before on the three.

"Can't work if it doesn't land!" Granox said as he and the bull prepared to move out of the way of any attacks that came their way. Instead of shooting missiles like most people expected, Whisper instead continued to fire lasers at the bull, which again, proved useless against it, but actually hitting Granox directly in the face as the shot bounced off the bull and at him.

"A direct hit! Nice one!" Tangle called out.

"One that will cost you your life first you pest!" Granox said before revealing that the spiked end of his club could actually be removed as it was attached to the staff it was on via a chain. After swinging it around a few times, he used it to attack her and Bennett, with the latter continuing to try and attack the pair, moreso Granox.

Missiles came swarming at the pair. Some of which were actually able to hit the two, staggering them both, but especially Granox, who was shocked, and angered that these five, who weren't even the Tenkai Knights could actually land hits on him that he felt. "That….. why you! You'll pay for that!"

"They may have the advantage in size and height but I think they've lost a step when it comes to speed. We need to use that to our advantage." Whisper said low to her teammates.

"Just so you know I can still hear you! And even if that may or may not be true, I honestly don't know, you can't match me in power or defenses!" Granox said before dashing towards them, slamming his club on the ground and forcing them all to dodge out of the way. He was hit with more missiles, forced to use his arm to have to block or resist the attacks.

"Maybe it would have been smarter for you to keep the shield." Tangle said.

"Oh shut up! How many times are you guys going to criticize me!? It's not like you can do Titan Mode!"

Hos, combining its toughness and still relatively quick speed for a bull, retaliated back with lasers from its cannon, the radius still causing some of them to go flying. As they were on the ground, several objects were seen in the air, but too far for either group to see.

Granox spun around the end of his mace, preparing to choose his next target before saying, "Nice work! Best not to let it go to waste am I right? Consider this payback!" He had already chosen his target, about to send the spike of the club at Tangle.

"No!" Whisper shot missiles at him, which he jumped over. The bull, using its cannon, was able to shoot at the missiles fast enough to prevent all but one from hitting him.

"Ha! You fell for it!" Granox said triumphantly before jumping back and getting on higher ground. "I was hoping to finish you with an up close and personal approach, but I see I'm going to have to take the ranged option! Now I have the high ground!"

"Star Wars reference?" Kise pointed out.

"Probably unintentional. I doubt he even knows what that is." Toxsa said.

Missiles still came at him.

"Wait a second! That's not right! How can-" Granox said before trying to evade the missiles coming at him.

"What did he think was going to happen, the missiles were just going to run out? As silly as that sounds." Sophie commented.

"Nah. He's using us as a reference way too much on what to expect. And that might be his downfall. If they use the right strat." Toxsa said.

Granox dropped down and slammed down on the ground hard in anger, hoping to get one of them but failed, even the bull, though it was holding out better than Granox, was still taking some damage as well.

"Why!? Why won't you just give up you puny runts!?" Granox asked, irritated at their continued resistance.

"If you think we'll just quit, I don't think you know who we are." Tangle said.

"Actually, I kinda don't. I don't even know your names."

"Challenge or not, I won't let you hurt my friend or my teammates." Whisper said.

"That cheap shot you did against Cicini…. You're not going to get away with that!" Bennett said, pressing a button on the arm and now fully covered in a full suit of blue armor with an orange visor for him to see.

"Actually, I think I will!" Granox said before sending his club to attack them just as the bull charged at them once more, using its laser at the same time.

"And I would have to disagree." Another voice said as several energy blasts came Granox and Hos' way. The source being several colorful forces in red, green, blue or yellow armor with tanks that were red and white along with jets that were blue and black. Though one of them was uniquely colored with a blue and black chestplate, a red and white helmet, green arms, yellow legs, a red, black and white shield and a red and gray lance.

"Corekai scum." Granox said. "Stay out of this you Tenkai Knight kiss-up!" He said, pointing his club at Beag.

"The only kiss-up I see here is you Granox! I idolize the Tenkai Knights! You worship Vilius to the point of enduring suffering and punishment!" Beag countered, pointing his lance back at Granox.

"Beag!" Toxsa called out, recognizing the multi-colored soldier.

"And don't think you'll be getting that Dragon Cube. We know you and Slyger were a diversion to turn attention away from the fact that you had found one. Forces are already taking it as we speak." Beag said to Granox, pointing his lance at him.

"NO!" Granox, in a fit of anger attacked with his mace. Although he was able to take out a couple of soldiers, the punishment he took from the tanks and jets were greater.

Jumping on top of the bull, Whisper sent more missiles at Granox before it could shake her off, sending him staggering as he was trying to pull his club back, something that Tangle slowed him from doing with her tail.

"I'll admit, you may be tough, maybe even as tough as some of the Mavericks I've faced, but that last fight was way tougher than this one." Axl said, now shooting a Circle Blaze shot, bombarding Granox and the Bull with a ring of flames.

"No one can beat me better than me, I'll admit that, as much as it p[censored]es me off to say it." Rick said, mixing his own weaponry with Hiruma's bazooka.

"Sounds like someone's stealing your lines." Yang said to Aomine.

"Eh, I don't really care. Besides, it sounded cooler when I said it anyway." Aomine said. "Anyways, looks like this fight's over." He said, half closing his eyes again and leaning back in the seat, almost tempted to put his feet up had someone not been in the seat in front of him.

"How can you tell? Granox and that bull are still holding out it looks like." Dewey said.

"Don't kid yourself. They've already figured out the formula to beat 'em. Long as they keep doin' that, it's a matter of when, not if now."

"Agreed. Now we should just see if they can wrap it up in a rather brief fashion." Sebastian said.

Meanwhile, in the future on another Earth

It was another rather lonely day for the old inventor as he ate by himself. Afterward, he began to put up the dishes and prepare the find some work to do. But as he did, he noticed more pictures than what was usually there and backtracked. One of the pictures being armor that was created with a picture of him and someone else that finally decided to wear pants for once. There were a couple others, but this was the one that caught his eye the most.

He knew what it was but he didn't want to say, think or do anything involving it. But against his better judgement, he decided to act on what he saw, a trait that he still somewhat had from his younger years.

"Good morning sir." Edee-34 said to him as he sat down in front of a chair and began to access some footage of the past.

"Morning Edee." Old Bennett responded.

"It's over! Take this!" Bennett called out before he and the others combined their attacks on the bull and Granox, the latter looking on in horror.

"This was supposed to be easy!" Granox yelled before the explosion came, sending him yelling and blasting off in brick form.

"HOW COULD I LOSE!?" He yelled off as he was blasting off.

"Kid… What did- how did-" Older Bennett said in disbelief at what he saw his younger self doing.

"It would appear your younger self has been doing quite well. Well enough to continue to stay in the game and compete with his teammates." Edee-34 said.

"Yeah, I have eyes, I can see-" He started before stopping himself, knowing that he was about to be unnecessarily rude to the robot that was basically his only friend. "Well, good for him. Uh, me. Glad to see I made the right decision in no longer being involved." He was about to cut off the screen until the five were webbed up.

"S[censored]! Not these again." Rick said. "Give me a second. I made something to get this off in case we got caught in it agai-" Before he could even do that, they were obliterated by a purple energy beam. All five of them were no more.

"BENNETT!" His older self called out.

"NO!" Beag called out in horror. "Corekai! Fire!"

"And that's that." A figure, in large black and dark grey armor said, in the air with a sword, a wolf on his chest that had red eyes along with the figure's actual head also having red eyes. Interestingly enough, he sounded just like Ben, Albedo and Sena. The Corekai army he commanded, as ordered, fired at the figure, but he began to retreat.

A smaller figure in pink and black with green eyes and two purple daggers was on the opposite side of him, revealing herself behind some rocks. "That was too easy. And the fact they actually thought those two were the final stage? Boy that cracks me up!" She added before laughing.

"I have to hurry and fix this!" Old Bennett said running to chair for the time projector

"But I thought-" Edee-34 started.

"This is different! If I don't fix this now I won't exist and you might not either!" He said as he was already preparing to project himself into the past.

Present

"HOW COULD I LOSE!?" Granox yelled off as he was blasting off.

"Well done. Despite your strange appearances, I assume you must be allies of the Tenkai Knights?" Beag asked the five.

"Uh, you could say that." Tangle said.

"Call bull, but whatever." Rick said.

"Bull? But, Hos was defeated." Beag said, confused.

"Huh. That Beag guy sounds awfully familiar." Launch pointed out.

"Bull as in bulls[censored]. You know what? Never mind." Rick said.

"I see. And what is this….. 'bull sh*t'?" Beag repeated, still confused.

"Yeah, can we not expose Beag to swear words?" Toxsa commented.

"He's kinda like Rook and Razer. Unfamiliar with stuff we'd know, but their innocence is kind of cute in a way." Ruby G. said.

"I don't believe that would be considered as 'cute', but fair enough." Rook said.

"Don't just go along with stuff Rook! You'll-" Ben started before stopping himself. "Never mind."

***Confessional***

Ben(Storm Kings):

"Honestly, sometimes it'd be funny. If using his unfamiliarity with stuff goes too far though, that's when I'll stop it. But right now, it's a little funny. And by the way, Rook and Razer aren't the only ones. There's Ryoma, Asta, and a couple others too. I guess Sebastian would kinda count too."

***End Confessional***

"We appreciate the help but…. who are you?" Bennett asked, now calmed down.

"Oh! My apologies! How ill-mannered of me! My name is Beag! Commander of the Corekai army! Although brief, it is an honor to assist allies of the Tenkai Knights in battle. And seeing your strength firsthand, I can see why they would align themselves with you."

"Well, any friends of the Tenkai Knights, is a friend of ours. Really appreciate the help." Tangle said.

"Of course!"

Suddenly, Bennett had jumped in surprise. And that was due to the fact that his older self had reappeared. "Kid, get out of the way!"

"What? You just show up out of nowhere and just tell me tha-"

"IF YOU AND YOUR FRIENDS DON'T WANT TO DIE THEN MOVE NOW!" Old Bennett yelled.

"Is something troubling-" Beag started before Bennett interrupted him.

"Everyone, move out of the way! Now!" Bennett called out.

After what happened last time, none of the others questioned him and they quickly moved. More purple webs were seen at the spot they were originally in.

"It's those webs again." Axl said. "I don't know how you knew that, but you probably saved us from losing this challenge right when we had it won."

"Actually, that couldn't be further from the truth." A figure in pink and black armor with green eyes said above all of them, the helmet and armor itself seemingly based off a spider. She also had two very familiar daggers in her hand along with a shield on her back.

"Venetta. Course she'd crash this party too." Toxsa commented.

"I'm honestly surprised. I thought I had all of you." Venetta said after dropping down.

"Yeah, you can thank me for that." Old Bennett said, though only his younger self could see or hear him.

"A product of underestimating your opponents." Another figure, this time with grey and black armor, red eyes, a black shield and sword with a dark blue blade said above them on another rock. The wolf-like appearance of his chest also has red eyes with a scar on the left eye. Accompanying him was several Corrupted soldiers.

"Corekai! Attack!" Beag commanded.

"And mystery guy makes four." Ben commented, noticing how his voice strangely sounded like his, Albedo's and Sena's.

"That mystery guy is Dromus. But why the heck is he on Team Corrupted again?" Toxsa said.

"But I won't make that same mistake unlike those two weaklings before. You'll go no further!" Dromus declared, pointing his sword at them before wasting no time and activating Titan Mode after performing two slices with his sword.

Tenkai Knights Soundtrack Titan Mode/X-Mode ~Viclipse Version Plays

"Dromus Tenkai Titan Mode! Activate!"

Like all the others, Dromus' Titan mode had him turn back into brick form as dark purple energy surrounded him before beginning the transformation.

A wolf with a cannon mouth on it was now also on his chest as it roared. He also summoned a shield on his left wrist and a larger version of his sword.

"Tenkai Titan Darkblade!" Dromus called out as he made two extra slices with it before he dropped down to the ground along with Venetta.

Music Stops

"What is this Titan Mode day?" Tangle remarked.

"Let me guess, you're gonna transform too, right?" Bennett asked Venetta.

"Nope. Titan Mode isn't everything ya know." Venetta said, wielding her dagger and preparing for battle.

"Are all versions of you cool in some way? This is just unfair." Randy said to Ben.

"Hey, I'm not complaining." Ben said.

"Even with your Titan mode, if we could take Granox and that bull, we should be able to take you by yourself easy." Axl said as he and the rest of his team along with Beag and the Corekai battled Dromus, Venetta and the Corrupted army. He attempted to fire at Dromus with more missiles but Dromus blocked them with the one thing Granox didn't have: A shield.

His partner Venetta, quickly webbed and/or sliced through and destroyed several Corekai soldiers, dodging any jet or tank blasts that came her way.

Dromus put down his guard after successfully blocking them. "Comparing me to Granox and Slyger was your first mistake. And will be your last!" Dromus created a whirlwind from his sword, blowing several Corekai, Rick and Axl away, all of whom were grabbed Tangle. This was the opening Venetta needed to web up her tail, performing incredible acrobatic moves to dodge the missiles sent by Whisper in the process to the surprise of both her and Tangle.

"Why are you so surprised? You thought because I didn't go Titan Mode I'd be some weakling? I've seen your speed. Juri and Azula may have been fast, but their speed's nothing compared to mine. I can match all of you easy. Even cat boy." Venetta declared, pointing one of her daggers at Whisper and Tangle.

"Wait, how do you know about Adrien?" Bennett asked.

"Don't worry about that. You won't be here long enough to find out!" Venetta said before running at the group. Bennett was forced to hover in the air to avoid her, but she shot webs at him, something that he avoided easily. "I'm not going after you. It's her I want!" She ran at Tangle, who, even with her tail being unable to move, tried to outrun her as best as she could while Rick prepared to get them free. But she was blocked by a wall. A Tenkai wall made of Corekai soldiers to be exact.

"Do not worry, we will provide you with all of the time you need!" Beag said to Whisper and the others.

"Thank you. But I won't stand by and do nothing. I'll help too." Whisper declared before getting around the wall to assist him and the soldiers that weren't in the wall.

"I see….. two can play at that game! Corrupted! Form a wall!" Dromus commanded.

Several corrupted formed a wall in front of him to protect him while Venetta ran past it to attack the Corekai's wall. Clouds started to form over the sky.

"You think that will stop me? Think again!" Venetta said to Beag before moving even faster, so fast that she left pink streaks as she ran, dodging Whisper's attacks before she tried to time a well-placed hammer strike, which made her jump in the air to avoid it, giving Bennett the opportunity to hit her with an arm blast.

The four others appeared from behind the wall, now unbounded from the webs thanks to Rick.

"You think I wouldn't come prepared? Think again bit-" Rick said to Venetta before lightning struck them all, leaving only Bennett and Whisper.

"Actually I did." Dromus said, lowering his sword as the wall in front of him disappeared, revealing him to be the source of their demise.

"NO!" Bennett declared before pulling out a sword and a shield himself and fought a surprised Dromus with them.

Meanwhile, Whisper was trying her best to contend with Venetta's speed.

"Pretty sad isn't it? Having literally everything come crashing down on you. From having a basically perfect run to outright losing. I hope you don't give some sappy little speech about 'hurting my poor little friends', cause I'm about sick of 'em. Not like they actually do anything to help you anyways." Venetta said as she relentlessly attacked the wolf, with the latter trying to block with the hammer mode of her Wispon.

With the sword and shield he has, Bennett was surprisingly able to keep up with an experienced swordsman and fighter in Dromus.

"Considering the predicament you're in, I'm impressed. But pure anger won't be enough to carry you to victory I'm afraid. I already told you before. I am nothing like Granox!" Dromus said before overpowering Bennett with his strength.

"This is incredible. Never in a million years would I have thought you-" Old Bennett started.

"Now's not the time!" Young Bennett said.

"Actually, now is the perfect time, for you to disappear!" Dromus said before jumping high in the air and sending another whirlwind with his sword, which was dodged by Bennett before he sent an energy blast his way. One that Dromus tanked easily but faked as if he was reeling from the attack to allow Bennett to get close. When he did, Dromus punched him, sending him flying back to the ground, almost making a crater. The evil swordsman was already charging an energy blast from his chest.

"No! No! No! Nooo!" Bennett said, as the suit's energy was getting low.

"Kid, don't tell me your suit's low on energy already. What kind of power source did you use?" Old Bennett asked.

"My turn. Dark Energy Cannon!" Dromus said before unleashing a very powerful purple energy blast from his chest cannon.

Bennett closed his eyes, prepared for the impact to come. But it never did.

A wall was created in front of him by several Corekai soldiers, many of whom were killed by the blast. As a matter of fact, Bennett was nowhere close to the blast. He was saved thanks to Beag.

"Beag? Why-" Bennett said in disbelief.

"You are surprised at our assistance? We are allies are we not?"

"But, your men. They-"

"Sacrificed themselves for absolutely nothing." Dromus said from above. "Unlike you, I still have more than enough energy to finish all of you off! But first….." He summoned a staff with three red diamonds on it. "Core corruptor engage!" He began to quickly shoot several tanks and jets. The blasts from the corruptor transforming them into Corrupted War Stallions and Sky Griffins respectively, to the horror of several Corekai soldiers before they were destroyed.

"Our vehicles! They are being corrupted!" Beag said aloud.

"Even your own forces are turning against you. Do you see how hopeless it is now?" Venetta sad after knocking Whisper to the ground and quickly webbed her to the ground after overwhelming the wolf with her incredible attack speed.

"You already lost this from the beginning. We watched all of you fight prior to know what we're up against. And not a single one of you were out of our league when it comes to who we could beat. The only reason you even got past those replicas is because you used help to do it. And the only reason you beat Granox and Slyger is because they're Granox and Slyger, even with Titan Mode. And you know the funny thing? This isn't even the last stage. You're still on stage 4!"

"What?" Adrien said, back at the set in disbelief.

"Yep. Can confirm. This is not the last stage." Chris said.

"Darn it! All of that fighting's going to be for nothing!?" Natsu commented, frustrated that there was nothing he could do to help.

Venetta pulled out the shield from behind her back and pointing it at Whisper revealing that there was a cannon on the top of it as well. She began to charge a pink energy blast infused with dark Tenkai Energy. "Oh well. Just wanted to give you that heads up before you go. Buh bye."

"This battle is lost. I am afraid that we must retreat." Beag conceded to Bennett.

"Retreat? No. There is only demise. So let's try this again. This time, there is no escape!" Dromus said as he began to charge another Dark Energy Cannon attack.

Bennett tried to send another energy blast, but he didn't have enough energy for it. "You might want to use that shield or run!" His older self advised.

"Third choice…." Young Bennett said before throwing his sword at Dromus.

"Ha. Do you really think that-" Dromus started before the sword was inside the cannon.

"What? No!" Dromus said in disbelief before he had to discharge the cannon. He stayed above them.

"Your persistence puzzles me. You have no energy left and have to resort to desperation tactics such as that. Why? Why do you continue to fight!?" Dromus asked.

"It wouldn't be right to just give up after everything the others have done to get us here. Especially after what Kuroko did to give Whisper, Priya and I another chance. Loss or not, I'd feel like I'd let everyone down if I just abandoned them because I wanted to stay in my safe zone." Young Bennett answered as Whisper's Wisps tried to defend her by trying to take the brunt of the still charging blast. Dromus simply landed on the ground with Venetta giving him a glance before turning her attention back to Whisper.

"If you think for a second you can protect her, then you can go too! You'll learn what happens when you don't mind your own business!" Venetta said before firing. Though her shot was disrupted by Bennett throwing his shield at her.

When the dust cleared Venetta was in disbelief. "What? I missed?" Her disbelief quickly turned to anger at Bennett. "You ruined everything!"

"Well, I guess that's one good thing out of all of this." Young Bennett said, smiling, though knowing that the end was about to be near with the Corekai forces dwindling and having no way to defend himself.

Venetta sighed, calming down. "Hmph. Well don't think you've won anything. Because you're still outnumbered."

"And unfortunately for us, we won't be around to see your demise. I need to recharge. And from the looks of things Venetta does as well." Dromus said.

"I hate to admit it, but he's right. I do. Enjoy your time alive while it lasts!" Venetta then threw down a smoke bomb that created a large pink puff of smoke before both of them completely disappeared.

Bennett tried his hardest to pull out Whisper but couldn't.

"There's nothing you can do to help me get out of these webs. Just run." Whisper said.

"This is one time where you need to run! Now!" Old Bennett said as there were only a few forces left and only a couple of tanks remaining. All jets were either corrupted or destroyed.

"Okay." Young Bennett said before running, hoping for there to be a portal for him to advance. When he looked back, Whisper was already gone.

When he turned back around, he ran right into Slyger, to his surprise and horror. "Going somewhere?"

"Slyger? How did-" Young Bennett started before being picked up by the neck by him.

"By the way maggot, the answer to my riddle was demise! Meaning, your demise!" Slyger said before laughing. Before he could even draw back his other arm to impale him to impale him with his claws, it was held by a vine. "What trickery is this?"

"Not trickery. Magic!" Natsu declared as he along with Sendo, Lotte and Morty appeared! Morty was wearing a suit similar to a gundam suit with a sword while Sendo was notably shirtless and wearing his blue boxer shorts that had a small orange lightning bolt with a red outline on the right. His name, Sendo was in the middle on the waistband area of the shorts and boxing shoes.

Both Natsu and Sendo threw powerful punches to send Slyger flying causing him to go across the dirt.

"Thanks guys. But how-" Bennett started.

"Don't know. But we're here now. You'd rather us not be and not save your a[censored]?" Sendo asked as Natsu, Morty and Lotte began to try their best to assist the Corekai in their retreat, holding off the corrupted forces.

"Well of course not. Duh. But, you think there's a way for me to get out of here? I don't exactly have much else to contribute." Bennett said.

"We do all of that and now you wanna run? Give me a break." Sendo said.

"Well it's better that than having claws impaled into me."

"Actually, I'd say he has the right idea." A voice said, walking towards them, with more corrupted ground soldiers behind him along with several mechbeasts in the ground and in the air. He had red and black armor with bat-like wings that had yellow outlines, red eyes and a red and black shield and matching shield.

"Uh oh. It's Vilius!" Toxsa said.

"Wait, that's him? That's who they have to fight?" Asta asked.

"Yep. Looks like he's the final boss. Hope they're ready."

"With how many are coming I'd tie you guys down. And besides, if this was tough, there's no telling what the others might face. Just let me go!" Bennett said to Sendo.

"Fine. Go ahead." Sendo said, waving him off.

"No idea how to do it but, I give up! I surrender!" Bennett declared out loud before he suddenly disappeared.

Yulaw was put in his place seconds later.

"It doesn't matter how many of you there are. All of you will fall before my might!" Vilius declared before charging energy into his trident. "HAAAA!" Wasting no time, he was looking to end things with one hit, something that would have happened had Lotte not used a magical barrier to take the brunt of the attack. Though the barrier wasn't strong enough to take everything, it was enough for her to protect others and survive herself, taking a decent amount of damage in the process.

"Impressive. But not good enough. You have only delayed the inevitable!" Vilius said before being confronted by Natsu.

"I think these fists will say otherwise." Natsu said confidently to Vilius.

"Strange. You sound very similar to Tributon. But you certainly do not share his appearance. But the real question is, do you share the Knights' skill!? I highly doubt it!"

"Personally, I think I could take on Toxsa- uh, Valorn, too!"

"I see. So you have encountered them. Well then, let us find out how much you know about them. Like for example, where they currently are!" Both he and Natsu ran at each other for a one-on-one battle. One that Sendo was about to intervene in before Slyger stopped him, blocking his way.

"I don't think so." Slyger said.

"Get in my way and I'm going to make you regret it." Sendo said to the Quartonian.

"Ooh I'm so scared."

"That wasn't a joke! You're gonna find out what makes a tiger more fierce than a cat!"

As the two began to exchange blows, Natsu and Vilius were locked into combat as well. The other three were continuing to try their best in fending off the Corrupted Forces.

"Are you okay?" Morty asked Lotte.

"Yeah. I'm fine. Don't worry about me." Lotte replied, giving him a reassuring smile before adjusting her witch hat as he looked over at Yulaw in awe as he was handling multiple corrupted soldiers and seemed to not have much trouble in dealing with them, using a combination of punches, kicks, throws and energy pistol shots to annihilate the ground soldiers and some of the mechbeasts.

"Man, that guy means business." Morty commented.

"Amazing…." Lotte said in awe before gasping as she saw a War Stallion coming at them full speed ahead. "Morty watch out!"

"Huh-" Lotte immediately pushed him out of the way, saving him from getting blasted and/or trampled as Granox got off the Stallion.

"Ha! Surprised to see me?" Granox said.

"Wait, we literally saw you guys get destroyed! How?" Morty asked in disbelief.

"That's because I wasn't! Did you really think a weak attack like that would destroy me?"

"Yep. Just telling yourself that man."

"It's the truth!" Granox insisted before groaning. "Why am I wasting time arguing with the two I'm about to destroy!? Prepare to meet your doom uh, what's your names again?"

"Morty."

"Lotte."

"Morty and Lotte! Prepare to meet your-" Granox started before being hit by a blast of magical energy by Lotte, knocking him back a decent bit of distance.

"I suppose that was a little rude." Lotte said.

"Eh, he'll be fine." Morty said. "I think he might be a different story though." He added, looking at the War Stallion that was preparing to fire its cannons at them, cannons that Lotte was able to cancel out with her own magical attacks, allowing Morty to slice the cannons off. He was about to get shaken off before he decided to end the Stallion's life, hitting it in the head. But, it turns out, doing so revealed that the Stallion was actually a Corekai tank.

"Hey, I'll take it."

"So it looks like all we have to do is beat them to revert the corrupted beasts back to normal." Lotte concluded.

"Seems like it. Let's bring these guys back to our side." Morty said as Lotte nodded in agreement before returning back to the fight.

As for Natsu and Vilius, the former was proving that he was more than a match for the former Tenkai Knight, even without weapons of his own.

"I know they're planning something. Now tell me! Where are the Tenkai Knights!?" Vilius asked, moreso as a command as the two clashed, trident and fist.

"You're asking the wrong person buddy. Other than Toxsa, uh, I mean Valorn, I don't know where those guys are. And even if I knew, you really think I'd tell you?" Natsu responded.

"I see. If that's the case, I will beat the information out of you!" Vilius said before creating a shield around himself made of dark energy to push the mage back before sending another dark trident blast at him.

"Fire dragon's Wing Attack!" Natsu created flames in the form of a pair of Dragon's wings before unleashing them at Vilius, who blocked the first strike with his shield but was knocked away by the second.

"Is that all? Tenkai Dark Tempest!" Vilius, still airborne, countered by sending several orbs made from dark Tenkai Energy at him, some of which Natsu dodged, others, he swatted away.

"What?" Vilius said in disbelief before getting caught with a flame-infused punch in the face.

"Fire Dragon's Iron Fist!"

The punch sent him tumbling along the dirt and crashing into a rock as well.

"Lord Vilius!" Slyger called out before getting hit by an uppercut.

"You should be worried about your damn self! 'Cause at this rate, the same thing's gonna happen to you!" Sendo called out before refusing to let up on him.

"That's the way!" May cheered on.

"Go Natsu!" Happy added.

As for Yulaw, his consistency in the challenges was something that went under the radar, but one that could match Jotaro's, continuing to show off his expertise at gunmanship and martial arts. He jumped over a diving Sky Griffin before using the lance of a corrupted soldier to shoot it down. After shooting a couple soldiers that attempted to block his way, he got on top of the griffin before slamming down on its head with the lance, sending it to Tenkai afterlife, if such a thing even exists.

"That all you got bat bot? Hey, that rhymed." Natsu asked as Vilius returned.

"I see. So you possess a bit of skill and power. And Tributon's annoying banter as well. But…."

"Let me guess, you're gonna go Titan Mode? You probably should have lead off with that, 'cause holding back against me is a bad idea!"

"I figured as much that you'd be familiar with Titan Mode. I promise you, my Titan Mode is-"

"Look lord yappius, are you gonna talk or transform? No wonder the Tenkai Knights aren't here. They probably got tired of your blabbering."

"So bold. Yet so foolish. It appears that you do not realize who you're talking to! I will make you regret those words. Dearly!"

Vilius spun his trident before slamming the staff on the ground.

A/N: Vilius has his own transformation theme in the dub but it's not featured in the soundtrack. I believe it's only played when he transforms and after he takes control of the Guardians.

"Dark Tempest…. Vilius Elemental Titan Mode! Engage!"

Vilius' words, though interrupted, weren't an exaggeration. His sequence was completely different than Granox, Dromus, Hos and Valorn's as his core brick glowed dark purple before going up and traveling a great distance backwards before falling back to the ground. Dark purple electricity, which was pure Dark Tenkai energy surrounded his larger brick as several larger pieces of armor appeared. Both of his shoulders had even more armor plating, with both acting as shields as well.

Finishing off the transformation, he created another burst of dark Tenkai Energy as dark electricity continued to surround him as he laughed.

"Well? This is what you wanted to see. And now, let me show you firsthand why you are overmatched!" Vilius declared.

"Probably not the first time I've heard that. And at this rate, it for sure won't be the last." Natsu countered.

Even with him now having a size disadvantage, Natsu still proved to be more than a match for him. Though Vilius wasn't backing down either, easily tanking Natsu's punches as the two were in a high speed fist fight.

Meanwhile, Lotte and Morty continued making progress in restoring the Corrupted Corekai vehicles and informed Yulaw of what they discovered to revert them back.

"When Dromus shot at them, that Corruptor attached something on the jets and tanks to corrupt them. If you can smash them those little red corruptors, we can return them back to normal without hurting them." Lotte explained to Yulaw.

"Noted." Yulaw nodded before using his speed to dodge or attack Corrupted ground soldiers or dog-like mechbeasts that tried to take him out. Taking Lotte's advice, he shot at or attacked the red corruptor devices on them, reverting the Corrupted Corekai tanks and jets back to normal. Though in the case of the ones that lacked the device were pure Corrupted soldiers that he didn't hesitate to take out.

The tides of the battle were slowly but surely starting to turn, even with Beag and many of the Corekai ground soldiers already retreating.

As for Slyger, he was sent flying to the feet of Granox after receiving an absolute pummeling from Sendo.

"Looks like I'll outlast you again at this rate." Granox said after cutting down one of the few Corekai ground soldiers that remained.

"Quiet you fool! Once I get the range advantage on him, he'll stand no chance!" Slyger said.

"Actually, neither of you are making it out of here. We'll make sure of it." Morty declared as he and Lotte stood before the pair.

"You think you've won? Just like Lord Vilius, you haven't seen the extent of our power! Sho! Shadius! Prepare for Robofusion!" Slyger ordered.

A Corrupted Soldier that had black and pale yellow armor along with a small dragon-like mechbeast appeared with the former firing at Lotte and Morty, forcing them to have to move.

"Granox! Commencing Robofusion Sequence!" Granox, with light pink energy surrounding him turned back into a core brick.

"Slyger! Commencing Robofusion Sequence!" Slyger followed suit, also turniing into a brick.

"Shadius! Commencing Robfusion Sequence!"

The Sho beast only growled. Though it's growl translated to it also commencing the Robofusion.

Their four bricks flew in the air together before beginning to fuse and rearrange themselves for a new combination into a battleship. Yellow and red wings from the Sho beast and Shadius respectively, a front and back composed of mostly Slyger and Granox and claws on the wings from Slyger.

"Sickle Ship engage!" Granox called out.

"I THOUGHT YOU SAID THIS WOULD BE EASY!? WHAT THE HELL IS THAT!?" Kagami yelled at Toxsa as he stood up, pointing at the screen.

"Well I mean on Earth for you guys, yeah. I didn't expect them to go to Quarton, give me a break!" Toxsa responded.

"You may be able to dominate on the ground, but you can't beat us in the air game!" Slyger taunted as they shot blasts from Slyger's claws from the ship, airborne as they flew around the battlefield.

"Lotte, do you think you can get a good hit? I can't reach them." Morty asked.

"I can try. But I'll need to time it just right." Lotte said.

"Looks like you're askin' for bait."

"I-if you'd like to. That'd really help a lot."

"Forget 'if he likes to'! Do what you gotta do to bring those guys back down here!" Sendo announced, joining the three.

"As you wish!" Slyger said as the four piloted the Sickle Ship towards the trio before they began to charge an attack. "Dark Raven Attack!" Slyger and Granox said simultaneously.

Though their efforts to get the attack off were thwarted by a yellow shuriken shield that came at them. Two blue energy blasts came at them shortly afterwards, forcing them to have to dodge the attacks but were then hit by a tank blast.

The sources: Beag and three other figures in red, yellow and blue. The shuriken shield returned to the figure in red that had a chain saber in his other hand.

"Did someone call for a manager?" The figure in white and blue armor quipped that oddly sounded like Natsu.

"Ceylan, Guren and Chooki? Okay what the heck is going on here?" Toxsa commented.

"The Tenkai Knights. Good, we can take you out too!" Granox said before they were hit by Lotte in all of the distraction from the Tenkai Knights appearing along with the return of Beag and Corekai reinforcements.

"Mayday! Mayday!" Granox said.

"Pull up you fool! Pull up! Pull up!" Slyger said before they crashed, with all four being forced to have to split apart into their individual selves again.

"You'll pay for tha- OW!" Slyger was hit with another devastating punch that sent him flying from Sendo.

"Grr! Let's see if your punches will work on this!" Slyger said before preparing to activate Titan Mode.

Slyger made two slashes with his claws before being surrounded by dark green energy as he returned to brick form. "Slyger! Tenkai Titan Mode! Activate!"

His Titan Mode transformation sequence was no different than the others', with the exception of Vilius. A chestplate that had a tiger head on it was also added along with him keeping his claws.

"RAAA! As Vilius Commands!"

"Time for Round 2!" Granox announced before transforming as well. "Granox! Tenkai Titan Mode! Activate!"

His transformation was the same as before.

"Now! To battle!" Granox called out.

"You may have been able to match us in our normal forms, but can you handle us in Titan Mode I wonder?" Slyger asked Sendo, Lotte and Morty.

"Uh, hello. We're literally right here." Tributon said. Tributon's armor was blue and gray and had an eagle-like appearance. He also wielded a blue crossbow and a blue and gray shield.

"Let's level up guys!" Bravenwolf, the Knight in red and white armor that had green eyes and a green wolf-shaped chestplate like Dromus', though without the scar on either eye said, having his own shield and sword that were red.

Lydendor's armor was yellow and black and was based off a wasp as seen by the red eyes in his chestplate. As stated before, he wielded a yellow chain-saber and a yellow and black shuriken that also doubled as a shield.

The three glowed their respective colors before they began their Titan Mode transformation.

A/N: The Knights have their own transformation theme, but it's not on the soundtrack from what I've seen. Think of it as instrumental of the dub opening theme or the one heard in their regular transformations in the dub.

"Bravenwolf! Tenkai Titan Mode! Activate!"

Minus the initial and ending slashes, his transformation sequence was no different than Dromus', including the wolf cannon on his chest that also roared. "Get ready, 'cause it's Tenkai Titan Time!"

"Tributon! Tenkai Titan Mode! Activate!"

Along with his armor increasing, he also gained a wrist shield like Dromus and Bravenwolf to replace his traditional shield along with a larger crossbow. After grabbing the crossbow when it appeared, he finished off his transformation.

"Oh yeah! Time to kick some bot!"

"Lydendor Tenkai Titan Mode! Activate!"

Unlike the others, his weapons were the same as his normal form but larger, with the shuriiken shield being on his wrist, ready for him to remove and use. After finishing off the transformation, he performed several acrobatic kicks.

"Yeaheah! Game on!"

"Alright, I guess I'll be nice and show these newbies the ropes. And help 'em handle buckethead and toasterface. And make sure Lydendor doesn't annoy these three with his sports lingo." Tributon said.

"And I guess I'll try to make sure Tributon doesn't kill these guys with his terrible jokes." Lyndendor countered.

"By kill you mean have 'em die from laughter."

"Sounds like a plan. Which means, I've got a date with the big boss." Bravenwolf said, referring to Vilius, who he saw was still fighting Natsu.

"You're not going anywhere!" Granox said before being shot by Tributon.

"Hey, please have your eyes forward on the teacher." Tributon quipped.

"Nuisances!" Slyger remarked before the seven engaged in battle.

"Hey, they did say I was a pest on the defensive end." Lyndendor quipped.

"Thanks guys." Bravenwolf said before dashing his way to the battle between Vilius and Natsu that was still taking place, with Vilius now wielding a larger version of his trident.

"The Tenkai Knights cannot stop me! So what makes you think you can!?" Vilius said before unleashing a blast from his trident at the fire mage. While Natsu was prepared to dodge it, someone else had already blocked the attack for him. That someone being Bravenwolf.

"Let's see. A two-timer and a liar. This is why you'll never be in a healthy relationship Vilius." Bravenwolf quipped after lowering his guard, blocking the blast with his shield.

"Bravenwolf. I was wondering when you'd show." Vilius said.

"Okay, maybe I was late. But I didn't expect you to cheat on me." Bravenwolf joked.

"Joke all you want, but we'll see who's laughing when I destroy you and the rest of the Knights!"

"Glad you could join in. But you missed the start of the fun." Natsu said to Bravenwolf.

"Oh I bet. But you don't gotta worry. Let's show Vilius what happens when you cheat in relationships!" Bravenwolf said.

"Not really sure what you mean by that, but I'm already warmed up for battle!"

The three began to battle each other exchanging slashes and punches, with Vilius proving that he was more than a match for both of them at the same time.

"Fire Dragon Sword Horn!"

Vilius, using the thrusters under his bat-like wings, strafed to the side to quickly avoid the attack before shooting lasers from his eyes back at Natsu with Bravenwolf using his own thrusters to step in and block the attack before their fists collided, creating a shockwave with Natsu coming from behind and quickly adding his own punch, hitting Vilius in the face. But he quickly recovered and kneed Natsu in the chest. Before he could follow it up with a hammer-fisted smash, Bravenwolf stopped it with an overhead air slash, forcing him to have to jump back.

Meanwhile, Slyger and Granox, along with the few ground soldiers that fought with them, weren't making things easy for the five heroes.

"For guys that are supposed to be weak, they sure as hell ain't actin' like it." Sendo commented as he knocked away a shield before punching a soldier in the face. Morty, after cutting one down, finishes off the one that Sendo knocked down.

"Yeah, even some of the worst teams in the league can still beat you. Can't let your guard down, as much as you'd probably want to, especially with these two." Lydendor said as he cut through several soldiers by throwing his shuriken shield before kicking another.

"That's right! Underestimate us at your peril fools!" Slyger said, jumping back in the air to send more green energy blasts at them.

"Underestimate? I think we overestimate you at times." Tributon countered.

"Gotta admit, for you to be able to do what you did on Earth, you guys sucked at the beginning." Morty added. "And I know that's kinda rich coming from me."

"It's one thing for the Knights to insult me. But for you three to do it? Enough is enough!" Granox said.

"But I never-" Lotte started.

Granox pointed at her while comically stomping the ground. "Shut up! You were gonna say somethin'! And I know it was gonna be hurtful! Now eat laser!"

"Stealin' from Valorn when you don't even have lasers. Talk about unoriginal- AH!" Tributon said before being suddenly shot from a compact energy blaster from Granox that he summoned to replace his club. "Okay, I completely forgot about that." He said before firing them at them all, forcing them all to have to dodge out of the way with Slyger also joining in with his claw blasts.

"Dance fools! Dance!" Slyger called out as he jumped in the air again, shooting split blasts at them as they all tried to evade them.

"A dance with you Slyger? Yeah, I'm gonna have to pass on that." Lydendor said as he decided to fly in the air to avoid the attacks.

"How about the Cupid Shuffle?" Tributon quipped as he shot an arrow blast at Slyger.

"Actually, I was thinking of... the dance of death!" Slyger countered as instead of falling to the ground, he incredibly landed and put his claw into the ground, sending energy into it to send a wave of energy at them all under the ground and then like a real cat, landing on his feet while forcing the others to jump.

Though in Sendo's case, his timing was off along wiith him not jumping high enough and he was hit, yelling in pain from being shocked as he was being electrocuted by green energy.

"Sendo!" Several of his teammates, in the fight and back at the set called out.

"Oh your suffering isn't over yet. I'll make you feel what I felt tenfold!" Slyger said, preparing his claws.

"That's not gonna happen!" Morty called out as he, Lydendor and Tributon attempted to stop the attack but were cut off by Granox with a chained club attack and an energy blast, now wielding his club in his other hand along with the blaster.

"Going somewhere?" Granox asked.

"Yeah, anywhere where I don't have to see your ugly face." Tributon said.

"I'm ugly!? You're ugly!"

"Wow. Stupid and uncreative. Reachin' new heights here. Which in your case, is new lows."

"Grrrrr, I'll make you regret that!"

"Sure you will dude."

"I will!"

Yulaw, seeing that Sendo was in trouble, shot at Slyger with his pistol to stop the barrage of slashes that came his way.

"You're welcome." Yulaw commented, more to himself before grabbing the staff of the soldier that tried to attack him from behind and hitting him with it in the chest.

"I'd like to make a return. It appears these goods were defective." Slyger said before tossing Sendo back to his team as if he was trash.

"I'll take care of Slyger. You make sure Sendo's okay, alright?" Morty proposed.

"Okay." Lotte nodded. She ran over and knelt down to him, looking horrified at what she saw.

Sendo groaned, grabbing his head. Though he felt as if he was touching something that wasn't his face.

"It's okay. I have some napkins. I know it's not much but it'll hopefully stop some of the bleeding. After that, I can try to-" Lotte started before his eyes crept open a bit to see what was there, the source being a red liquid, causing his eyes to immediately shoot open.

"No! No! It's okay! I'm here to help you, alright? Here-" She was about to hand him some napkins but he smacked her hand away. He immediately got up and yelled like a man in an insane asylum.

"No wait please! You can't!" Lotte pleaded. Though her pleas were ignored.

Slyger looked on at the incoming boxer as he blocked an attack from Lydendor and Morty.

"Oh? Back for mor-" Slyger started before being hit with an absolute haymaker of a punch from Sendo, surprising Lydendor and Morty along with Slyger.

Hajime No Ippo OST- Black and Blue Plays

"RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" Sendo's yell was so loud you could have sworn it was an actual tiger roaring, which caused even Vilius, Natsu, Beag, several Corrupted and Corekai Soldiers, Yulaw and Bravenwolf to stop their battle to see what was going on.

"Why you-" Slyger started before he was hit again. And again. And again. And again. The barrage all coming from Sendo. Even with there being a clear size difference, he didn't give a damn.

Even after he knocked him down into a large rock formation, he continued to punch him in his face over and over again.

Slyger even tried to revert back to his normal self to force him to miss and attack back, but even that failed as he dodged the attempt to slash at him and continued to wail on him.

"Jesus. I can't even compare this to Ippo and Falcon. Sure he was upset. But this... this is something else." Rally thought.

"I surrender! Granox! Someone! Help!" Slyger said in between constant punches. Though Granox wasn't exactly in a position to help himself as he was being overwhelmed by the others.

"I think it's about time we wrap this up." Lydendor said.

"Think wrappin' it up is mercy for Slyger. Sheesh." Tributon said before pointing his arrow after Lydendor hit Granox with several kicks and punches.

Tributon, using two powerful blasts from his arrow, finished off a now reverted Granox along with Slyger to put the latter out of his misery, with Sendo moving out of the way, moreso by force via Lydendor by pulling him back with his chain saber.

Music Stops

"THIS CAN'T BE! AGAIN!?" Slyger yelled in disbelief.

"WE'RE BLASTING OF- aw forget it." Granox said as their core bricks flew away again.

Vilius, Bravenwolf and Natsu meanwhile, had already resumed their battle.

After jumping over both of them when they tried to attack at the same time, Vilius dive kicks and hits Braven wolf in the back before performing a roundhouse on Natsu.

"Perish! Darkstorm Thunderbolt!" Vilus called out, creating a beam of dark energy surrounded by dark purple electricity and firing it at the two.

"No way!" Natsu prepares to perform an attack to counter the beam after quickly turning around. "Fire Dragon's Roar!"

Bravenwolf was beside him as he was in a pose to charge the cannon in his chest. "Right with you! Bravenwolf! Tenkai Wolf Cannon!" Bravenwolf called out, unleashing the red energy that he was charging up. The two attacks mixed together to create a beautiful mixture of Tenkai Energy and fire, which collided with Vilius' attack. But even with their combined efforts, it wasn't enough to overpower Vilius' attack as they cancelled out, with it being a miracle that that even happened.

Vilius looked and saw Slyger and Granox, as bricks, being sent back to his lair after being defeated.

"Incompetent fools..." Vilius commented low before focusing his attention back on his two opponents. "No matter! This changes nothing! You've barely put a scratch on me! Are you still excited to fight me now?" He asked, more to Natsu before unleashing a burst of Dark Tenkai energy around him to show that he was still full of energy.

"Man, he wasn't kidding about his Titan Mode." Natsu commented.

"Yeah, Vilius isn't exactly the jokey type." Bravenwolf said.

"Heh. Must be fun at parties then."

"You can forego coming up with any tactics to try and defeat me. Or thinking you can rely on the others for help. They have their own problems to deal with." Vilius said before his eyes glowed a darker shade of red briefly. Four figures in black appeared beside him from under the ground.

"As Vilius commands." The four figures said in monotone unison. All of them had black armor and helmets with silver and another colored line on them as well. The wing designs on the helmets along with the circles in the center of their chest and designs on their shields were colored as well. One had blue, who was named Boreas, another had yellow, who was Notus, another was green, who was Zephyrus, and the fourth was red, who was Eurus.

A/N: The Guardian's VAs are: Eurus(Kyle Hebert), Boreas(Steve Blum), Notus(Ben Diskin), Zephyrus(Matthew Mercer)

"Uh oh. It's the Guardians." Toxsa commented. "And before anyone asks, they're the Guardians of Quarton. But when Vilius took over their Sanctuary, he ended up Corrupting them too. Now, they serve him."

"This just keeps getting better doesn't it?" Kurt commented.

"Great. These guys again." Lydendor said.

"Come on! I'm gonna send these guys to the scrapheap too!" Sendo said, still angered.

"Not if we destroy you first!" Eurus said.

"My fight is not with you, but your intervention in this battle has left me no choice." Notus said to the five challengers.

"That's too bad, 'cause I'm damn sure in the mood to fight you!" Sendo yelled out before running at them only for them to all quickly and effortlessly step to the side without even lifting a single leg, afterimages trailing behind them as they did. The others, including Lydendor and Tributon tried to catch them as well, but those attempts also failed before they were shot at by their blasters.

"Fool. You do not fully understand who you're dealing with. We are the Guardians of Quarton! Perhaps it's time we showed you why!" Boreas said, pointing his energy pistol at them.

All four Guardians jumped into the air and returned back to their brick form.

"Uh oh. I think they're about to go Titan Mode." Morty said.

"Eurus!"

"Boreas!"

"Zephyrus!"

"Notus!"

"Guardian Tenkai Megafusion! Engage!" All four said simultaneously. But this was no Titan Mode. This was far more powerful. And terrifying. Almost all of the corrupted army in the area were being turned to bricks.

"Little good your cries out in pain will do you worthless fodder. Your power is mine to use now!" Boreas called out as they were made to forcibly fuse with the Guardians.

Eurus was fused into a Falcon made up of gray and black core bricks with the brick at the top being illuminated in red, representing the head and eyes, which was Eurus. Boreas was fused into a giant golem. Notus was fused into a giant snake. Zephyrus was fused into a giant lizard.

"Now, do you see how hopeless it is for you to win!?" Zephyrus bellowed above them before they all roared.

"And I thought Vilius was tough..." Natsu commented as he watched the giants finish forming, the only exception being Eurus. But even he was still larger than normal.

Sendo was the first to try to run at them but was grabbed by Boreas and slammed back down onto the ground, hard, causing him to yell in pain before the next thing he knew, he was gone.

Yulaw tried his best to avoid the attacks and climb up Notus but was grabbed by him instead. Before he could be squeezed to death, Tributon and Lydendor broke him free.

"It is worthless for you to even try. Your Titan Mode is nothing compared to our power! None of your power compares to ours!" Zephyrus said.

"Well what do ya expect us to do? Just sit there and let you beat us up? Not like the heroes ever get that luxury, so..." Tributon joked as he fired more arrow blasts at them, while staying on the move but was caught in the back by a diving Eurus.

"Darn it. I wanna help them, but..." Natsu thought.

"Don't worry about me. Help your friends and the others. I'll deal with Vilius." Bravenwolf said, already reading his mind.

"Thanks."

As he ran off, Bravenwolf lunged at Vilius to stop him from intercepting Natsu. Sword and trident clashed as it was a battle of will and strength.

"How selfless of you. And foolish!" Vilius remarked.

"Of course you'd call something like that foolish. You wouldn't understand doing something for others!"

"Of course I do. Why do you think I kept the Guardians alive? I could have easily destroyed them"

"That's a funny way of saying enslavement!" Bravenwolf countered before Vilius overpowered him and sent dark energy balls his way.

"Enslavement!? I showed them power unimaginable! Power that weaklings such as yourselves will never have! Power that I was wrongfully denied!"

Bravenwolf tried to dodge all of them, but was hit by several of them.

"That was more mercy than they deserved! Mercy, that I will not show to you!" Vilius said, charging at Bravenwolf to catch him mid-air.

"Bravenwolf!" Lydendor called out before being smacked down by Zephyrus.

"You will stay right where you are!" Zephyrus said. "Beneath my heel, as it should be!"

Bravenwolf blocked the attack at the last second with his sword to stop a fatal blow, but Vilius used his shoulder to send him flying across the ground.

Meanwhile, Natsu was combating the Guardians along with the rest of his team, with the exception of Sendo, who was knocked out.

"For you to be Guardians, it sure as heck doesn't seem like you're doing much protecting!" Natsu remarked, dodging a tail smash from the yellow color-coded guardian.

"Silence fool! What we are doing is preserving balance!" Eurus said as he fired blue energy missiles in the form of core bricks at him. It was only through the Fire Dragon Iron Fist Boosters was he even able to dodge the missiles before attempting to jump high enough to reach him. Though Eurus flew back to evade the punch.

"Uh, does this seem balanced to anyone else? No? Just checking." Tributon remarked as he flew in the air to shoot at Zephyrus' leg to get Lydendor from under it, though he spun rapidly like a spinning top to deflect the blast, causing it to hit a rock and almost collapse on Yulaw who had to shoot all of them to bits.

"Believe me, I don't want to fight you. I have no choice! It is as Vilius commands! And I must obey!" Notus said before slithering away from Lotte and Morty's attacks.

"Don't give me that crap! There's always a choice!" Natsu countered. "You're the Guardians of this planet for goodness sakes! You're telling me you don't have a say in what goes on around here!?"

"Bold words from an outsider! You have no knowledge of what goes on in this world! Which means, you have no right to judge our actions!" Boreas declared before Zephyrus attempted to bullrush them, forcing all of them to have to dodge out of the way. But it allowed Boreas to swing a hand and smack down Yulaw and Morty.

"Even if that's the case, that still doesn't mean helping Vilius is the right answer. Haven't you thought about that?" Lotte asked.

"Of course we have you naive little fool! The right answer was right in front of us! It was to serve Vilius! Once the Knights are destroyed, along with yourselves, balance will be restored to Quarton! I act to do whatever it takes to preserve and restore balance!"

"Or maybe he's lying to you to use you for what he wants. Once he's done with you, he'll throw you to the side." Yulaw said as he was able to jump on the arm of Boreas and then jump again to shoot Zephyrus mid-air to make him move back a bit from the shot to the eyes.

"Why you!" Zephyrus said before being hit by an flaming elbow from Natsu, causing him to stagger.

"I may not be from this world, but if you're it's Guardians, then I feel sorry for every good person on this world, 'cause their protectors are a joke!"

"You dare disrespect us!?" Boreas bellowed before attempting to punch him down onto the ground.

Though to his disbelief, he pushed back as he was on the ground. "What?"

"I do dare. I won't pretend like I understand half of what goes on around here or even the Earth back where the rest of my team is. But I do know this! I'm not gonna sit idly by and let someone like Vilius, and a bunch of cowards like you afraid to stand up to him, send this world into Darkness and destroy the Knights and my teammates!" Somehow, with incredible strength, he was able to push the hand off him.

"Yeah! I don't know about you, but that definitely got me hype! I'm ready to go back in coach!" Lydendor said before flying back in the air, kneeing Eurus in the face. "And now, let's give em a bit of MMA!" He added another kick along with a few punches that would definitely be seen in MMA matches, UFC or non-UFC.

"Uh, you're already in?" Tributon remarked before charging up a more powerful arrow blast that hit Boreas in the face directly.

"Foolish Knights! You're just delaying the inevitable!" Boreas called out.

"They always say that to the underdogs. Wait till they hear the media buzz when we win!" Lydendor said before picking up and throwing Morty towards Notus.

After getting on his back, Morty impales his sword into him, which only caused him minor pain as he threw him off to send him flying, with Lotte breaking his fall. Bravenwolf wasn't too far behind after being kicked by Vilius as if he was a soccer ball, the large amount of damage he took against Vilius reverting him back to his normal form.

"Bravenwolf!" Tributon and Lydendor called out.

"I'm fine guys. Don't think I'll be able to go Titan Mode again at the moment though. Let me catch my breath first." Bravenwolf said, which was an understatement. His energy levels were getting low.

"I told you you were no match for me! But I'm not through with you yet. Destroying you now would be too much mercy. I want you to see one more thing before you go!" Vilius was surrounded by purple aura before a black cube came out of him as his armor had changed. All of the yellow parts of his armor were now gone and the second shield plating on his right arm was gone too as he had reverted to standard Titan Mode. Dragon cubes also came from the four guardians as well, causing all of them to slump forward after losing a decent chunk of power from the cubes. After a purple vortex in the sky appeared as a red and black dragon formed from the cubes.

"I summon you! Evil Tenkai Dragon!"

A dragon roared before Vilius got on it.

"Yeah, so what? You just made yourself weaker by losing your Dragon Cube!" Tributon said, shooting an arrow at him which was dodged before Vilius countered by having the dragon shoot a stream of purple energy from his mouth constantly as it went across the ground. The Guardians kept up the pressure by attacking him and Lydendor along with the others as well.

"Even if that's the case, having the control of the powerful Dragon is enough of a trade-off I believe." Zephyrus said as he chased down Yulaw, even with the martial artists' incredible speed.

"Damn it! A little help here?" Yulaw called out, trying a no look pistol shot from behind. But it didn't seem to slow him down too much.

"I got it!" Natsu called out before jumping high to hit him in the face but was grabbed by Boreas and thrown. "Okay, I don't got it."

Yulaw was caught with a body splash from Zephyrus, crushing him and removing him from the game as well.

Lotte was caught by Notus and was being squeezed while Morty was sent flying from the explosion of several missiles Notus sent his way.

Lotte tried to free herself but only caused him to squeeze tighter. "You would think... you would want to decrease your suffering and give in! This would be over quicker!" Notus said as he continued to try to squeeze her but kept feeling her trying to resist.

"I... can't quit!"

"I want to make this easier on you. But you are testing my patience!" Notus squeezed even more, causing Lotte to scream out loud in pain.

"Got any secret plays in that playbook of yours?" Tributon asked Lydendor.

"Just one. It's our only chance!" Lydendor started. "Titan Fusion!"

"But, the each of us have only fused with Bravenwolf!"

A yell was heard as large amounts of fire was seen on the ground. "No way! I'm not gonna give up! Even if it means I've gotta beat you all by myself!" Natsu yelled out.

Notus released his grip on Lotte as she fell to the ground, unconscious. "For your sake, I hope you stay down. Please." Notus said before slithering away.

"Bold words. Ones that will do nothing to help you!" Boreas declared to Natsu before the four guardians and Vilius and the dragon began to converge on him. After dodging a trident and dragon blast along with a grab from Notus and a dive from Eurus, he hits Boreas in the face with a Fire Dragon's Claw.

Morty, getting up, held his head. "Hey dad, we there yet-" The loud noises from the action that was unfolding made him realize what was going on and saw Lotte on the ground, unconscious, with Bravenwolf tending to her.

"Oh crap! Is she alright?" Morty asked, quickly running to her.

"I don't know. And I don't exactly have a way to heal her. Sorry." Bravenwolf said.

"Lotte! You've gotta wake up!"

"If you can't even one handle Guardian, then what makes you think you can handle four and the Tenkai Dragon!?" Notus declared as he tried to catch him with his mouth.

"You're always talking about what others can't do. I'd say we talk about what others CAN DO!" Natsu declared. "FIRE DRAGON'S BRILLIANT FLAME!"

After basically eating the fireball, Notus fell to the ground. "Such... power."

Notus' previous words to her as she fell unconscious replayed in her head.

"Everyone else can finish the fight. Maybe I should take Notus' advice. We could still win anyway."

"Lotte! Come on!" Morty shouted , trying to shake her awake.

"And rounding it off is Lotte the paperweight." The voice of Barbara was in her head too.

"Maybe that's why Hiruma didn't want to train me. Guess even he knew I was a lost-"

"You've gotta wake up!" Morty yelled out.

"Your team needs your help!" Bravenwolf yelled out. It was these two that made Lotte slowly creep her eyes open and saw the two over her.

"Lotte! You're awake!" Morty said happily.

"Morty? What's happening?" Lotte asked.

"See for yourself." Morty answered, helping her up to see what was happening as Tributon and Lydendor along with Natsu were still battling the opposing five.

Lotte clutched the side of her body, still in pain from being squeezed.

"I know it hurts. Trust me, I'm a bit banged up myself. But, believe it or not, you're a lot more useful than I'll be." Bravenwolf stated.

"Really?"

"Yes, really. My energy's too low to go Titan Mode again. And that's the only way I'll be able to deal with the Guardians. And even then, without elemental mode, that's still an uphill battle. Trust me, from firsthand experience, in our case, David loses against Goliath every time. But you've still got your magic. You can help the others!"

"Come on! They need our help!" Morty said before suddenly taking Lotte's hand and running to the action with her, to her surprise due to how sudden it was.

"One of our superstars is out and the other can't do it alone! The supporting cast has got to step up and be that second and third option! But we're gonna need more firepower, even if it isn't something we've done before!" Lydendor said to Tributon.

"Tch. We don't exactly have many other options. And it's not like Bravenwolf hasn't done some risky things himself... Okay, let's do it!" Tributon said. Both he and Lydendor let out a yell as they began to glow blue and yellow respectively.

"Warning. I do not detect Bravenwolf in your fusion." The Tenkai Knight AI said to both.

"We know!" Both replied.

"I see. This may lead to unexpected irregularities in your fusion. Do you still wish to proceed?"

"Yes!" Both answered.

"Very well then. Commencing titan fusion sequence."

Tenkai Knights OST- Coalescence A plays

"Tributon!"

"Lydendor!"

"Titan Fusion Shapeshift Mode! GO!" Both said in unison as both flew around each other before a mixture of blue and yellow lights were seen. Both Lydendor and Tributon lost some of their pieces of armor with Tributon losing his legs and plating on his arms while Lydendor lost his head and chest plate as the connectors for the top and bottom halves remaining for both folded.

Electricity began to fuse the top and bottom halves together before Lydendor's plating reappeared on the arms along with Tributon's head. Tributon's crossbow appeared on the right and Lydendor's chain-saber appeared on the left.

The newly created fusion of the two grabbed the crossbow and the chain-saber before it performed several agile kicks.

"Yeah! We're twice the knight!" Both said in unison as the transformation finished.

"Now it's time to run the two-man game with Natsu!" Lydendor declared.

"Now that's an idea I can get behind!" Tributon said.

"You are strong. But not strong enough!" Eurus declared before sending even more missiles at him. Despite him trying to outrun or deflect them, there were just too many, especially with Zephyrus, Vilius and Boreas blocking where he could go. After being hit by several of them, Natsu felled and rolled a few times on the ground.

"That all you got? I can take whatever you dish out at me." Natsu said, getting back up.

"But can you take this? Dragon! Destroy him!" Vilius commanded as the Dragon charged a large energy beam from his mouth, even stronger than the last one. Though a burst of speed stopped that from happening. That burst coming from the combined speed and agility of the fused Tenkai Knights, sending them flying back and vausing Vilius to fall of the dragon.

"What? What is this form? I've never seen it before!" Vilius said in a mixture of shock and disbelief.

"Oh yeah. You've never seen Titan Fusion have you?" Tributon asked.

"Guess that's one thing in our playbook you can't copy!" Lydendor said.

Music Stops

Getting on the dragon, the two were about to try to destroy it, but Vilius knocked them off it.

"Two Knights separate, two together. It doesn't matter! You are still no match for me!" Vilius said as he flew back on the dragon, taking flight again.

"Oh yeah? You can't hit what you can't catch!" Tributon said before they quickly flew around and attacked the five, evading their attacks and working with Natsu.

"You be the power." Lydendor said to Natsu.

"And we'll be the speed!" Tributon added.

"Sounds good to me!" Natsu agreed. "But, think you could give me a lift?"

"Sure thing!" Lydendor and Tributon said simultaneously, carrying him as if they were a larger blue and yellow Happy.

"It will take more than Titan Fusion to beat us!" Eurus said before shooting missiles again. Though Tributon and Lydendor's combined speed and agility proved to be more than fast enough to avoid them.

"And here's your stop!" Tributon quipped. Combining the speed of the drop with his magic, Natsu hit Eurus with a devastating kick, sending him to the ground.

As he was dropping, Tribendor(this is the name of the form on the wiki) was already there to grab him with his chain saber before grabbing onto him with their hands.

Boreas grabbed them with both of his hands. "I told you. Even with your power, you are still a long way from being a match for all of us."

"FIRE DRAGON'S WING ATTACK!" The sudden burst of heat caused him to release the pair, Boreas' hands being in pain.

"Now!" Vilius declared, charging up an attack from the dragon to finish the two off.

"No way!" Tributon declared before they countered back with an even more powerful arrow shot than he's ever shot before in his normal Titan Mode. The beams collided.

"Full power!" Tributon and Lydendor said simultaneously, pushing Vilius' beam back.

Vilius, wanting to give them no chance of even thinking they could win, pitched in with his own blast from his trident as well.

Before Natsu could join in to help, he was attacked by Boreas, with the others about to attack Tribendor as well.

Vilius laughed. "It's over!"

It was Lotte that turned the tide, hitting the Dragon in the face. It wasn't strong enough to knock him off, but it was enough to stop the Dragon from firing, which only annoyed and angered Vilius.

"This is our chance! Put everything in this blast!" Lydendor said.

"I will rule this world! And every other! You... ARE NOTHING BUT AN OBSTACLE!" He added even more of his Tenkai Energy into the blast, preparing to overwhelm the pair before Lotte, as a bird before changing back into herself to create a barrier, took the brunt of the blast. But this time, Vilius' attack broke through, causing her to fall back down to the ground.

As for Tribendor, the two Knights were split back into two.

"Uh oh. Looks like we ran outta juice." Tributon said.

"And time! It's over!" Vilius was about to attack again before Morty chucked Bravenwolf's sword, per said Knight's suggestion, instead of his own, aiming for Vilius but was nowhere strong enough to be able to reach that high. Instead, it hit the dragon right in between the eyes. Suddenly, the dragon started to roar and a flash of white light was seen, grabbing the attention of everyone before blinding them. "What's happening? What have you done!?" The next thing everyone knew, cubes were scattered in the air before five returned to the Guardians and Vilius. The others went to the Knights.

"For all the trouble you've caused, you're grounded Vilius! Now go home to your room!" Tributon said.

"This changes nothing!" Eurus said, getting up.

"You doubted us when the Dragon was around. How'd that go?" Natsu countered, a confident grin on his face.

"Dragon or no dragon, you are still no match for me!" Vilius declared.

"You sure about that pal? I think we drew pretty even."

"And it looks like even your best defenders can't handle his physicality." Lydendor remarked.

"It is true. He is stronger than we expected. But, that doesn't mean-" Notus started before Vilius interrupted him.

"I see. But as I said before, I can't let power like yours go to waste. So I will have you be of use to me in other ways!" Vilius declared before purple aura and Dark Tenkai Energy surrounded him. So much so that Natsu couldn't push through it. The Guardians were glowing blue as they were grunting in pain.

"What's... going on?" Notus said.

"Vilius! What are you doing to us?" Eurus asked.

"He's... draining us... of our energy!" Boreas said.

"But... why!? This is the payment we get for serving him!?" Zephyrus said.

"AHHHHHHHHHHH!" The Guardians all cried out in pain, feeling even worse than what the Corrupted armies felt when they got them to fuse with each of them. And now they were being forced against their will to fuse with Vilius.

The bricks surrounded Vilius as he began to laugh maniacally. The sky started to turn dark.

"VILIUS! ULTRA GUARDIAN TENKAI MEGAFUSION! ENGAGE!" Pieces of the other guardian's megafusion forms began to appear on Vilius.

"Haaaaaaaah!" Purple aura began to surround him as he continued to absorb their power.

Their bodies, arms and legs were merged together to create a monstrous fusion with Vilius as purple lightning struck after he finished the transformation. The rest of his body was there but his legs. But that was because most of the fusion, with the exception of his extra arms, were his legs as everyone that was left looked on in horror. Even Chris, Chef, Doyle and Heloise were horrified at the monstrosity that Vilius had become. Even the most even-keeled contestants including Jotaro and Din were surprised, with Echizen, understandably terrified as he was still 12 compared to the others, with Rick spitting out his drink.

"Is it too late for me to swap out with someone else?" Morty remarked.

"Dios mio." Puss commented.

"What the f[censored]!?" Courtney and Heather said simultaneously.

"I can't even pretend and say something like 'I'm not surprised'. I truly do believe Chris has gone insane with this one." Noah commented.

"Uh uh. Don't blame me for this. I'm not responsible. No one told me this was going to happen." Chris said, still in shock.

"Then pull them out! At the rate this is going, they're going to get killed!" Alejandro called out.

"Our battle isn't going to be as hard as this right? Right!?" Toxsa said.

"You mean he's never done this before!?" Doyle asked.

"Uh, no. If he did I probably would have mentioned it earlier."

"Well? What are you waiting for? Pull them out!" Kurt said to Chris.

"Hold on. I'll let it play out a little more to see what happens." Chris replied.

"What do you mean let it play out!?"

"Look, it's fine. Trust me. Win or lose. I'm dead serious. You'll see why. Wouldn't be fair to stop it just because of this."

"The last time I was asked to put my trust in someone, people I raced with, cared about, including my own brother, was lost in the Racing Realms. So you can't blame me for being skeptical about this. Especially after what you've shown us so far."

"Some of us have dealt with things just as if not more threatening than this. I have faith they can handle it." Blaze said.

"Well, it's a good thing this applies to the people in right now. But what about the ones that, you know, haven't?" Isagi asked.

"In that case, you're probably f[censored]ed. Just being honest." Rick said.

***Confessional***

Isagi(Storm Kings):

"Remember when soccer was like the craziest thing to worry about? Can we back to that? Just for this episode?"

***End Confessional***

"Don't worry, you won't need to swap out. Because this will be over in an instant!" Vilius bellowed before laughing maniacally again as even more lightning struck.

"What's wrong? No witty banter or jokes?" Vilius taunted.

"In the wise words of Valorn. Does not compute. Does not compute. System error." Tributon said.

"Is something really wrong with your systems Tributon?" A red Corekai soldier asked. One of the few left besides Beag that were alive that is as most of the ones in the area were destroyed by Vilius or the Guardians.

"You okay dude? You picked a really bad time to go out on us." Natsu remarked before actually going to try and snap him out of it by hitting him.

"Woah! Woah! Hey chill! You'll mess up the paint job! It was just a joke! For you to be me, you don't exactly have a good comprehension of humor. Which should be impossible."

"This is no time to be fooling around! We need to stay focused!" Bravenwolf said.

"So you have faulty systems do you? Then let me put you out of your misery!" Vilius declared before slamming one of his hands on the ground, causing Tributon and Natsu to have to scatter to avoid being crushed.

"Fastball eh, fast shuriken, comin' at ya!" Lydendor said, flying in the air as he threw his shield at Vilius only for him to swat it away.

"I got it!" Natsu said before throwing the shield back at him from behind.

"Okay, we'll call it a pass then."

"I've heard enough, quip privileges revoked." Tributon said as he tried to shoot at him from behind.

"I'm honestly a little surprised I felt that!" Vilius remarked before swiping at him. But Tributon, using the speed from his thrusters, was fast enough to dodge. But he was hit by Vilius' tail, which was actually the entire snake form of Notus, slamming him into the ground and causing him to yell out in pain before he was forced to change back into his normal form from taking too much damage.

"We need a no huddle play. So what have you got cap?" Lydendor asked Bravenwolf.

"Wait, what if you guys absorb those cubes like the Guardians did? When Vilius lost his it looks like he lost some of his armor. Think that'll make you stronger?" Morty asked.

"Yeah. It would." Bravenwolf said.

"The problem is, how the heck do we get there without getting vaporized or stomped on like a bug?" Tributon remarked, still on the ground in pain.

"Yeah, the defense isn't gonna exactly let us score." Lydendor remarked.

"Take this ya tin can! HAAAAAAA!" Natsu, using his flames to propel himself upward.

"Don't think I forgot about you!" Vilius remarked before he attempted to slam him down with one of his hands but missed. He even tried swiping at with him with his trident but also missed, this time sending scatter shots from it in the hopes of catching him, which some of them did. This gave him the opportunity to follow it up by slamming him down on the ground with both his arms and stomping on him multiple times.

He then picked him up and grabbed him, squeezing him tightly as he screamed in pain, Vilius' squeeze being even tighter than when Notus did the same thing to Lotte.

"This time, there are no worthless sacrifices from weaklings to come to your rescue! Well, at the very least, at least this is one thing I say the Guardians were useful for!" Vilius remarked as he began to charge a blast from his chest to finish him off, laughing.

"You sure about that Vilius? These Dragon Cubes say otherwise!" Morty yelled out from out a higher elevated area.

"What?" Vilius asked in surprise, turning his head to look at him, only to see that it was only a rock. "Fool! That is no Dragon Cube!" Suddenly, a mighty roar was heard from Natsu. Or at least that's what it seemed like anyway as a large torrent of flames came from him. So large and so hot that Vilius was taken aback by it and dropped him.

"You're the only one that's a fool here Vilius! All you care about is yourself! Say what you will about the Guardians, but they did what you asked! And this is how is you treat them!? And as for Lotte, what she did was nowhere close to being worthless! But you only see it that way because the only thing you look at when it comes to worth is power!" Natsu shouted.

"I couldn't agree more!" Bravenwolf declared. He. along with the others Knights were now beside Natsu as their armor had changed from absorbing the Dragon Cubes.

Bravenwolf's wings expanded as they were now orange and red along with the rest of his armor, with the orange replacing any parts of his armor that were originally white. The same thing occurred to Tributon's armor as his wings also expanded into four with his white pieces of armor being replaced with a lighter blue. Along with the same wing expansion, Lydendor's ears on his helmet also pointed outward more before his black and some of his yellow armor, notably his legs, changed to light orange.

"What Lotte did took a lotta guts, and that's no joke." Tributon added.

"Playing for the team. Now that's something I can always get behind!" Lydendor said.

Tenkai Knights Soudtrack- Elemental Knights Plays

"Elemental Mode is online and operational. Tenkai Energy restored to one hundred percent. Elemental Titan Mode is also available." The Tenkai Knight AI informed the three.

"Good, well then it's time to rally behind Natsu and level up ourselves!" Bravenwolf declared.

"Bravenwolf! Tenkai Firestorm Titan Mode! ENGAGE!"

The starting point of his Elemental Titan Mode transformation was the same as Vilius'. Though in his case, when his brick landed, flames were seen everywhere. After his armor plating appeared, his sword also appeared from the flames.

After completing the transformation, he sent up a stream of flames with his sword before striking a pose. "TIME TO FEEL THE HEAT VILIUS!"

When Tributon's brick landed, his created cold wind and ice under it.

"Tributon Tenkai Iceblast Titan Mode! ENGAGE!"

His armor plating was covered in ice before it broke and he was equipped with it. His crossbow also broke from ice as well before he took off like a jet to grab it, landing on the ground and smashing some of the ice as he did.

"Oh yeah! So cool!"

When Lydendor's Brick landed, sparks of electricity were across the ground.

Lydendor! Tenkai Lightningstrike Titan Mode! ENGAGE!"

Lydendor's armor appear from the electricity along with his shield blade. Electricity was seen as the shield came to him.

He held a ball of lightning in his hands before striking a pose, both hands having lightning in them.

"GAME ON BUCKETHEAD!"

As the three were aside Natsu, each had auras surrounding them, with Lydendor even being surrounded by electricity with his.

"ELEMENTAL MODE OR NOT! YOU ARE STILL NO MATCH FOR ME!" Vilius boomed, preparing to send out an attack from both his trident and his chest before being hit by a purple spider web in the eye, disorienting him. The source being Venetta.

"Well, I come back from a recharge and this is what I see. Gotta admit, I'm impressed." Venetta remarked.

"You!" Vilius said, turning before being hit by Natsu with a devastating knee and was barraged by several other devastating punches and kicks from him.

Vilius pushed back against his attack with his hand. Even with his power-up, Vilius was still pushing back against the Fire Mage.

"Not so fast! Tenkai Titan Lightningstrike!" Zipping around as fast as lightning, he flew right through Vilius' arm, shocking it before following it up with a lightning strike from above, shocking his whole body, allowing Natsu to push back.

"FIRE DRAGON SWORD HORN!"

This caused Vilius to stumble back before breaking free from the lightning.

"TRIBUTON TENKAI TITAN ICEBLAST!" A vortex of ice surrounded tributon before it went all into a single blast from his arrow, freezing the lower half of his body.

"I AM THE STRONGEST. I WILL NOT LOSE….. TO THE LIKES OF YOU!" Vilius said before surrounding himself with Dark Tenkai Energy to break free from the ice. "I WILL OBLITERATE YOU! ULTIMATE DARKSTORM TEMPEST!"

He sent forward several balls of dark Tenkai energy that changed into missiles to annihilate all of its targets.

"Not if we destroy you first!" Bravenwolf raised his sword in the air as a geyser of fire was seen in the sky.

"TENKAI FIRE SWORD! GO!"

The fire along with the contribution of Tributon, destroys most of the balls with Natsu actually charging through some of the others. Even though he took damage, he was not about to be denied.

"THIS IS FOR LOTTE! AND FOR ALL OF MY OTHER TEAMMATES!" He charged through Vilius like a missile, driving him back.

"ONE MORE TIME! TENKAI FIRE SWORD! GO!" Bravenwolf shouted before slicing diagonally on on Vilius' body.

"Actually, how about one more for good measure! YOU CAN FORGET ABOUT COMIN' BACK FROM THIS! CRIMSON LOTUS! EXPLODING FLAME BLADE!" Igniting his arms, Natsu sent spiraling flames towards Vilius as Bravenwolf added on by charging up a blast from his chest cannon.

"This… AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Vilius yelled before an explosion was seen. The only thing that was left was Vilius' core brick. The next thing everyone knew, a bright light was seen.

Morty and Natsu were suddenly back in the Aftermath set, not a single semblance of the fact that they battled being shown on their bodies, with Whisper and the others also reappearing.

"W-what just happened?" Morty asked.

"That can't have been a dream. That felt way too real." Natsu said, looking at himself. There was no hint that he ever even used Dragon Force in the first place.

"Everything will be explained to you in a moment." A familiar voice said. A teen with sharp red eyes, hair that was flipped over his right eye with the lower half being brown and the upper half being brown was seen with them. He wore a high-collared, zipped up black jacket with buttons on the collar area along with matching pants and black slip-on shoes.

"Wait, Dromus?" Natsu said in disbelief. "What the heck are you doing here?"

"Before anyone tries to attack me, I am not your enemy. You can just call me by my real name, Gen. I am an ally of the Tenkai Knights. Toxsa can vouch. As for my partner, Venetta, wherever she is, her name is Beni." Gen said.

"Yep. He's definitely on the friend list. But still, why the heck are you here dude?" Toxsa asked.

"A football player with super speed, an emo kid that can fight as a robot, and a guy and an alien that can turn into aliens. Meanwhile I'm a duck in an alternate universe. Am I gonna get that treatment? No offense Dewey." Randy remarked.

"You basically just said he was lame. There's no way you can make that not sound like an insult honestly." Louie said.

"None taken. It's cool. I'll remember that in a future challenge though." Dewey said.

"Okay. You said you were going to explain what was going on. So what exactly was that?" Kurt asked.

"All of what you saw on Quarton was virtual reality." Gen answered, getting several surprised faces from the contestants.

"So that's how I got that suit?" Morty asked.

"Correct. You were going to be put in the best situation possible based on what you've already experience and/or your personality. The real Quarton is too dangerous for you to visit. So this was a good alternate. Noah's Park, an area Axl has also seen before, was also virtualized. All of this was provided with the assistance of Cody Jones and the Maverick Hunter training simulator."

"What about Alia, Pallette and Layer?" Axl asked.

"All authentic. Everything else, from Vilius, the duplicates, to Granox, Slyger, and even Benham City itself was virtualized. Though the rest of the knights were real. Along with Juri and Azula. The battle against those pair"

"Yeah, we kinda had to keep quiet about that. Sorry for lying to you Toxsa." Guren said, as his voice was heard from Gen's watch communicator device.

"Another question. Will our battles be like this?" Weiss asked.

"Same question for ours." Myron added.

"I was only given info about the role we'd play for ours. So that, I cannot say for certain. I am sorry." Gen said.

"Well, at least you're honest about it. Unlike some people here. You had us thinking people were in danger of being actually killed! What is wrong with you!?" Becky F. asked Chris.

"I told you to trust me. Did you really think I was just gonna risk lawsuits? And you're supposed to be smart?" Chris remarked. "But, as a sign of goodwill, I'm going to give you a preview of the next opponents waiting for the teams! Mind you, this is only the last battle! Not spoiling the ones in between!"

"Wow. Very helpful." Aomine remarked sarcastically. "Definitely not half-a[censored]ed at all."

"If you'd like, I can just reveal nothing." Chris said. "Now quiet! And pay attention!"

Someone in a brown vest with fur on the shoulders over a blue racing suit with long spiky brown hair extending on his cheeks was seen on the screen. He also had blue-green-wild eyes and red markings under his eyes.

"For the Kings, your final opponent will be Ryu Kaizel!"

"Thanks, but it's kind of hard to make a judgement when we don't know who the guy is from the picture." Bren said.

"Wait, Ryu!? But how!? We destroyed him!" Kaz said.

"Wait, that's him?" Asta asked.

"Don't let his looks fool you. His machine's power is off the charts." Fiona remarked. "If that's who you're going to be facing it won't be a cakewalk by any means."

"And for the Breakers, Starscream!" Chris announced.

"Thanks but, still don't know who this is." Mr. Wolf said.

"If it helps for reference, another version of Starscream has competed in two completed seasons."

"Again, that still tells us nothing. He could have been a first boot for all we know."

"Look, if I spoil everything it'll ruin the beauty of having to figure out how to beat 'em yourself." Chris said. "Although, we did give him a theme. Given his personality, I'm sure he'd be honored to know that he's the only to actually have that happen." Chris said before a snippet of a metal song played. After about 15 seconds played, it ended. (The theme used is Starscream's actual theme from the Devastation Game)

"Boss themes? Cool." Toxsa commented.

"Anyways, that's it. Kings, get in there. While you get started, we'll take a break. We'll be right back guys! And when we return, we'll finish things off with the other two teams! Cool? Great!" Chris said before the camera cut to black.

A/N: The next chapter will be the last part of the episode. See you there!

By the way, the Titan Fusion used was not actually seen in the show. But it was a form in the game. Even if it wasn't that long, I felt like Titan Fusion was a cool concept forgotten about later on in the second season. so I wanted to showcase it here a bit. Though I guess with elemental mode it would make sense that it wouldn't be needed anymore.
