From pain awakening

The both of them continued their way making it back as quick as possible to Emerald. Concern for the worse cross through his mind. Alistor and Tannen made their way back after an amount of time.

“The damage has already escalated.” Tannen noted.

They spot Sairori and Katty struggling as they are outnumbered barley fending off the pawns and the king’s new monster. Sairori begins to fall back a Katty attempts try to take them all on.

“Hold on! We’re coming.” Alistor hollered.

Alistor and Tannen tried reaching to them, but they were halted by swarms of pawns and the new spider walkers blocking their way. Baronia fighter ships continue assaulting the ground from the skies.

“There’s a lot of them.”

The pawns slowly falls back as they we’re cleared out of the way. Katty got aggressive enough to take a spider walker down to the ground. Slicing through one of the walker’s legs, it to tumble to the ground and exploding.

“Bring it on I’ll take you all on.” He shouted to the fleet.”

Gear ships fired at Katty from above damaging him. He is seen sent flying to the other side. Crashing through a wooden wall.

“Fall back Katty, you already taken enough.” Sairori pleaded.

Katty refused as he got back up, slicing through the line of pawns. He takes damage again from the same ships firing above.

“Fall back!” Sairori hollered on.

Alistor and Tannen had their hands full with another wave of pawns. Katty was now in the middle surrounded by enemies from all sides.

“I’m not afraid. Your numbers don’t mean anything.” Katty went on.

The village of Emerald was now pretty much wrecked to some degree. The Baronia King arrives to the scene.

“I’m coming!”

Sairori breaks through the line rushing to Katty. He cuts through them with a stream of lightning. The Gear ships continue to assault Katty as Sairori went to cover him.

“We need to do something about those ships.”

Sairori finally had enough of those ships and took both out by summoning a rod of lightning. It stretched out very high short circuiting both ships. With his masterful controlling he was able to force both ships into crashing into the set of spider walkers blocking Alistor and Tannen.

“That will do.” Katty patted.

With the path open, the others wasted no time into hurrying to their side. The Baronia King was still calm as he moved in to greet them again.

“So most of your team is here I see. This will finish you for good.”

The King calls out his new monster to join the battle. “

“Do my bidding. I summon you, my armored warrior, Mecha Tiger!”

The winds suddenly change for as a new monster deployed down from a gear ship. Mecha Tiger came down hanging from a set of strings attached to its shoulders.

“Now go and destroy them.” Ordered the King.

“We’ll handle things from here.” Alistor insisted. “You guys take it easy.”

With only the monster left Alistor tells Katty to fall back but he was too ignorant to listen.

“Think I’ll let you guys have all the glory? Just sit back. This one’s mine!”

Feeling cocky he rushes at the monster. Mecha Tiger begins charging forth as he draws his katana.

“My White Fire technique should be enough.”

Mecha Tiger readied its claws as they both clashed in one swift swipe. A blinding flash of light sparked as they came in contact. A piercing sound was heard.

“Did he get him?” Alistor wondered.

Tannen focused on the scene as both warriors stood silently still. A cracking sound was heard from Mecha Tiger’s armor. A few piece of scrap metal came falling off as the monster looked back. Katty rolled his eyes over, feeling victory was at hand, bur blood quickly came pouring from his side.

“Cough…..what but how?”

He was badly pierced, unable to fight on his strike was not powerful enough to pierce the Tigers armor with his ninja attacks.

“A foolish move boy.” The King comments.

The monster laughs as Alistor got enraged. Sairori moves Katty’s body away for recovery.

“You’ll pay for this!”

The monster makes the first move as it charges in with one claw ready to strike from the distance. Tannen acted quickly sweep him away before the monster even had a chance to land a first blow. The ground shatters from the result of the impact.

“We need to find a way around this.” Tannen said.

The King continues to watch from the distance overjoyed at the sight of the battle.

“I won’t let you down! Hold on Katty!”

Alistor tried to land some quick strikes at the monster before it had a chance to get up. Tannen toss’s a few hand axes as projectiles, but it didn’t prove effective. It got up and roar causing Alistor to stumble back since he was close.

“His armor is tough.” Sairori noted.

Their attacks had no further effect as it just bounced off the beast. Mecha Tiger then tries again to strike at the defenseless Alistor.

“Got to think of something fast.”

He decide to attempt to use his own sword as a defense to block the Tiger’s attack as its claws pounced on his blade. The weight was heavy to bear as Alistor was put in a tense struggle.

“So heavy…..”

Alistor was on the verge of losing his grip with his sword as the monster continue to press down on him.

“Here goes!” Muttered Tannen.

Rose fighter quickly got summoned as it dashed on the ground like it was ice skating. A heavy punch rammed right into the monsters face as it flew a few yards back.

“Sigh….thanks.”

He was free from the monsters grip as Rose warrior came to his side. The Tigers metal face was all cracked up as it pushed itself to open its mouth. Parts fell off of the monster’s face.

“Ok, what will we do next?” Alistor asked.

Tannen began whispering in the others ears to plan out how they were going to take that thing out. Mecha Tiger reacted as it released a huge breath of flame from its mouth.

“Spread out!” Tannen ordered.

Fire was beginning to spread on the ground. They all dodged their way out of the flames range. The monster fires out more flames as they disbursed around the monster. The Baronia King continued watching.

“Let’s try this out.”

With his magnifying glass, Tannen summons a binding earth to restrain the beast’s four limbs.

Alistor and the Rose Warrior jumped in to slash the beast with great force. Rose warrior plunged its blade into the beast but it wouldn’t work as it quickly broke free of Tannen’s bind.

“What are you doing? Stop messing around and finish them.” Shouted the King in a rather impatient manner.

The monster went berserk blasted out bigger flames from its mouth.

“The next plan!” Announced Tannen.

The four of them got into position as Tannen stood right in the cross fire of the flame attack. With the darkness Tannen summons out pillars of waters as the flames impact. A huge fog of smoke surround the battle.

“Argh! I can’t get a good view?” Complained the King.

The King was not happy with what he was seeing as he complained about the fog to his pawns. Mecha Tiger’s flames were extinguished as it shivers in fear soaking wet.

“Now’s our chance!” Shouted Alistor.

Rose fighter surprised the beast with a heavy punch out as it still felt unaffected but flinched barely. The monster jumped out of the way but fell straight into the ground feeling very lagged since its body got soaked. Alistor and Rose Warrior didn’t gave it a chance to gain its ground as they began firing energy attacks.

We have you trapped!” Snapped Tannen.

Rose warrior joined in as it fired multiple rounds of energy on it. The beast’s armor began to crack up as Tannen leaps in the air to cut through the Tiger with his scythe. He cuts through the beast with a heavy impact.

“Katty….please stay with us.” Sairori said.

The fog cleared away as everyone witnessed Mecha Tiger’s armor shattering to the floor. The king looks at his monster very displeased as it was still standing.

“It’s still standing?” Questioned Alistor.

“It seems so.” Muttered Tannen in an annoyed disbelief.

The monster came to its senses as it was now lighter and able to move around due to losing its first layer of armor.

“It seems it can move around more quickly but now he’s completely vulnerable.” Alistor pointed.

Tannen had his scythe ready to charge in with. The monster tries swinging its claws around but that didn’t stop him from landing a direct hit. The beast then attempt to open its mouth again for its flame, but the Rose Fighter grabbed its snout shutting it as it burned its mouth.

“Pathetic!” Shouted the King.

Mecha Tiger tried swinging its claws but was bind again from Tannen’s summoned earth. Alistor went in with his Star Breaker focusing his energy as both spirits were commanded to unleash their finishing attacks.

“Star Breaker!”

Mecha Tiger writhed in pain as it shattered to pieces. A double explosion came out of the beast.

“Humph….” Nodded the King.

The Baronia King no longer cared about his monster as he began to turn away. Alistor and the others approach the King from behind. Alistor was fueled with rage as the King just blankly stared back with no emotion.

“Hey wait……”

Auroa and Maigashi suddenly came back to the village only to witness the tragedy that bestowed. Katty was at the last minutes of his dying breath as Sairori couldn’t do much more.

“You monster! Somehow I will defeat you I promise. When I do, I’ll make sure to tear you apart.” Alistor pointed.

He badly wanted to rush at the enemy, but the Baronia King just laughed back evilly at him in joy of amusement.

“Small words, but you are in no position of power to fight me? Your threats mean nothing. You see this is just the beginning of your very end.”

Alistor blindly charges at the King but got smacked out of the way flying in midair. Maigashi and Auroa goes to help him back up. The King turned his back away, but not before leaving with some parting words.

“Take this causality as a lesson for today.”

The Baronia King wiped his hand with his cape and teleports away with the remaining Baronia pawns.

“Katty!”

Alistor rushed to Katty’s side.

“Why? Why didn’t you just stay back?” He asked.

Blood rushed from his mouth as he struggled to fight on.

“I….just wanted to maintain my code of honor. Sorry….Looks like you’ll just have to do this without me…..”

There was nothing they could have done as they mourned for him.

“No! You can’t go! Please! Please stay with us.”

“Don’t ever forget about me. I’ll always be in your team’s heart.”

His eyes closed as Alistor mourns for him. Hours passed as Katty was soon buried. Alistor couldn’t believe his close friends was gone and he tries to overcome grief. The sun starts to set.

“Come on…Let’s go home.” Sairori said.

It was a silent moment for the team back home at the table. They had a quiet moment to honor a fallen friend. Alistor was lying in his bed as he can’t stop thinking about what happened today. He is seen getting up from his bed opening his window for fresh air as he gazed upon the moonlight. Memories of Katty flashed back to him.

“I’ll never forget the time we had together.”

A flashback takes him to the moment the two trained at the beach, Axe Winston is seen watching over them. The scene suddenly shifts to the moment the day the Labyrinth appeared over their school. Grass horns chased the both of them.

“Our time at the arcade as well…”

The scene show Katty alongside playing games with him in the arcade. Then it shifts to the moment he clashed with Barrel Man on top a high building.

“I promise you Katty…. I’ll train hard and get stronger. When I do I’ll give everything I got to take him down. I won’t let anything stop me.”

A shooting star is seen at the end.
