General Levendus

As soon as Jerry stepped out on the other side of the cloaking field, Jerry was suddenly surprised as he saw Braddock and Emma ahead of him standing still, their back at him. As he approached near them, Braddock holds out his arm to Him. "Stand Back Damian!" Braddock Shouted to him.

Puzzled, he looked further ahead and saw a figure at least 15 feet away from them standing in the middle. On it's back, Jerry can see a platform with four pillars that appears to have archways that joined together, however, it appears too short to link with each other arch in the middle and not letting the protruding arch joined the others.

"What took you so long? as I have guessed, The cruiser Ship will not be much of a challenge, especially with Powers, there with you people." The figure said pointing at Jerry.

Jerry focused his eyes as it adjusted from the dim light of the moon and the stars, he tried to look more closely at the figure. Its hand is much longer than a typical human, it's length reaching down past its knees. The figure looked kind of hunched in the back with a shawl wrapped around its neck. It's head wearing some kind of strange hat Hat Jerry is not familiar of. Its face looks like an old man but lacking a nose. It is wearing some kind of futuristic armor that makes it look like a robot, from his distance from them.

"Who is that? tell me, he's an Arkhon, oh please, tell me," Jerry blurted out getting nervous, feeling the tension in the air. Emma and Braddock not moving transfixing their gaze at the figure in front of them.

"It's an Ambush Damian! stay alert," Braddock said still staring still in front.

"If I were you, I won't make any sudden moves, Arkhon!" It said slowly on hoarse voice. The Figure raised its hand then made a series of clicking sounds from its mouth. As soon as it finished, figures wearing almost the same design of the figure's armor came out of hiding, from the pillars behind it, and a few appeared on both sides of them entering the cloaking field.

Braddock Clenching his fist, getting pumped up and ready for action let's out a low growl at the figure. However, the figure raised its hands, "I guess an introduction is a must! especially since I finally meet the infamous Damian Powers. He looks Small and weak in person though, very disappointed based on what I heard on stories." the figure said looking at Jerry, sounding very very confident. especially as Jerry sees because they are obviously outnumbered.

"I am General Levendus of the Zentaris!" Levendus Introduced himself to them confidently, "I am here for Damian Powers over there." He said as he raised his hands, pointing with his thin tendril-like finger, "I may show you other Arkhons mercy, with a quick a painless death. If Powers will surrender and come with us... right now!"

"Not in your lifetime, Zent!!!" Exclaimed Emma summoning two huge guns on each hand, with looks that Jerry is not familiar of. She outstretched both her hands pointing the guns at the Zents on the right side of them, both guns emitting low humming sounds of powering up.

"Of course as expected of any Arkhon! HAHAHA!" Levendus lets out a throaty laugh, "Being courageous, at the face of death, a trait of every Arkhon across the Galaxy. However, I doubt that any of you two in front is a match for me, other than Powers there at the back, or so I heard." His piercing stare appears to burn Jerry, while Jerry can't as much as take away his stare at him.

Levendus Continues his Monologue, "Calmly looking at the situation, possibly planning about how to escape with every one of you guys alive. That may have been what Powers is thinking, based on what I have heard from the stories of his Legend."

Unfortunately, that is not the case with Jerry. Jerry is just scared frozen on his feet, that is why he can't even utter a single word at this moment. He is staring at Levendus unblinkingly as if he has not any choice not to.

"I can feel your hatred as you stare at me, Powers! I am wiser than my master Zemeth. I assure you Powers! All of you will not get out of here alive!" then he let out another series of clicking sounds, "Look Behind you Arkhons!"

OH NO!!! Jerry is now screaming in his head 'this cannot be!!' he is now sweating profoundly as they all turned around behind them at the same time.

Appearing out the Cloaking device from outside is Stint walking slowly, his hands in the air. As Jerry Frighteningly guessed, Behind Him is Levendus looking the same as the one in front of them. This Levendus is holding a spear-like weapon but pointed straight down on the back of Stint, holding him hostage.

"Stint!" Jerry shouted, "Danny!!" Emma shouted at the same time not taking down her Guns still pointing at the Zents. "Everything is gonna be alright, Danny!" Emma shouted, her voice a bit shaky.

"Now don't make any, sudden moves or the Gallaxian life is over." Said the Levendus behind Stint.

"I'm very sorry Mr. Powers, they suddenly appear after you guys went inside the field, I was not fast enough to take off." Stint said apologetically. "No need to apologize Stint, just Hang in there okay!" Jerry shouted, suddenly overcoming his fear when he saw Stint being held hostage.

"Hey!!! Levendus Right. Take it easy, man."Jerry said, he can't help himself but shout out to Levendus. Trying to shrug off the pressure he is currently feeling on his chest, "It's me you want. right??!! I'm Damian powers! Take it easy, ok. maybe we could talk something out here, ok. Or maybe an even trade." he said not exactly knowing what to do, just thinking on in the midst of the situation. Now speaking to himself. Cmon Dragons! daddy's gonna need you guys out to help us now.

"Well, I am not unreasonable!" Said the Levendus now behind them besides the 5th Gate, "Just give up Powers, then I will let the boy and you other Gallaxians go. fair enough?!" Levendus shouted.

"We're not gonna give you up Damian." Braddock whispered beside him.

"Do we have any plan? now is a good idea to have one, Brad." Emma replied. "Still working on it, Em." Braddock Replied

"NO! okay!" Jerry finally got the courage to say. He is not used to this kind of pressure and situation, he is not the hero they are saying. They must have made a mistake, he is just plain old Jerry. Yes, that's it, plain old Jerry. maybe the dragon earlier was just a fluke. He does not even know if he will be able to summon it again. He's just way over his head this time.

"Levendus, Right?!" Jerry said, shouting at the Zent Behind Stint. "Okay man, you win, you got me! I'm surrendering," jerry said standing straight, raising his hands to his head, "What are you doing, Damian?" Braddock whispered to him, "It's ok Brad, they will let you go if I surrender."

"No! Damian, we went out all the way here to find you. we are not gonna fail this mission Damian, not with you," Braddock now raising his voice to normal, his tone getting serious, "No, Brad! I don't even know how to summon that dragon again, it's alright, If what you said before is true, I'm just one single Arkhon. There's gotta be another one as strong as me out there. Besides, I don't exactly think I'm as strong as what you guys expect I should be, right now."

Jerry turned his back on Braddock and Emma. His hands raised on his head, walking slowly towards Levendus, who is currently holding Stint hostage, "It's alright! You win, Man!" he said as he walked towards them."

Jerry approached them and is now as near as hands reach of Stint, then he stopped, "Hey, Kid. everything's gonna be alright, you hear. Just go with Braddock and Emma," He said to stint.

Jerry Smiled at him his eyes telling Stint that everything is gonna be fine. Stint smiled widely back at him, "You need to be on your way Mr. Powers, I already told you this is as far as I go," stint said. Jerry puzzled at first, on what stint said. when he realized it, however, it's already too late. Stint Suddenly raised his right foot in front of him, blinked at him, then Kicked jerry with all his might.

Jerry hurtles back with the sudden impact on his chest. He saw Stint draws a small knife out of his back, swirls around and was able to somehow slashed Levendus on the face. Jerry saw as Levendus cried in Anger quickly stabbed the spear through Stints front, as it went out his back.

"NNOOOO!!!!" Jerry cried, and all hells broke loose around him. He can hear Emma started screaming after she saw Stint being stabbed. She started shooting with her guns at the Rushing Zentaris.

Braddock was tackled by two Zentaris, trying to knock him off his feet, however to no avail. Braddock did not fall, Brushed his Huge arms at one of them hurtling it far then grabbing the second by the back of its neck and shoving it face-first to the ground. He summoned again his double-bladed battle axes bracing himself to face another oncoming Zent.

All around Jerry, chaos broke loose as the two Arkhons wreak havoc on the attacking Zentaris, shots of lasers and other projectiles were heard all around him, as the battle ensues. Jerry still shocked crawled on his four slowly to were Stint is, while trying to keep his head down from the shots fire above. He was stopped a few feet away from Stint's body by a pair of boots. He raised his head and view standing in front of him is Levendus, holding his 4 pointed spears above him Getting ready to strike, "Show me what you're made of! Powers!" He cried as he brings down the spear into Jerry's head. Jerry Cringes and shuts his eyes, knowing he can't dodge it.
