(Deamon took the glass of wine from Hector as Hector held his glass up for a toast)

Hector: To us! *Laughs*

Deamon: ...

Hector: Toast, Foxx.

(Deamon reluctantly held his glass up as the two made the toast. Hector sipped some of his wine and began to speak.)

Hector: Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Do those three things mean anything to you, Foxx?

Deamon: ...No.

Hector: *Laughs* They should. Those are the three concepts which I will base my global empire under...

Deamon: Global empire!?

Hector: Yes, Foxx. Global empire... Our world is one dominated by tyranny and strife. Foxx, I am going to be the one to free the world! Free us all from the sins of man!

Deamon: *Cough* ..What the hell are you... *Cough* Talking about?

Hector: The world in which we live is one dominated by kings and queens who mercilessly rule over the general population, they create wars for their own simple pleasure... Humankind is enslaved by these rulers who simply want nothing more than power. I wish to release the world from these invisible chains...

Deamon: ...But you... *Cough* You're in business with those kings and queens...

Hector: Of course I am Foxx. The easiest way to defeat your enemy is to become it's friend. That allows for the element of surprise! I will crush my foes who have enslaved our world to their knees!!

Deamon: *Cough* *Cough* You're no different than them... You're a monster... *Cough* You just want power... Don't try to deceive me...

Hector: Heh. No, Foxx. You're wrong... Dead wrong. The five great kingdoms of the world, Terius, Gabul, Loira, Ferdinand and of course Yura are all at the brink of creating a massive "World War" if you will...

Deamon: World war? For what?

Hector: Profits and power of course. The human population is rising at too great a rate for the world's food supply at this point and because of all these people, the value of gold has gone down considerably. The fortunes of these empires will become worthless soon. And with the development of Moon Metal technology, the unseen underground alliances have become strong enough to challenge the empires! Now, the great empires of course realize this and before the underground networks make their strike, the empire is going to cause them to divert their attention towards this massive war!

Deamon: The survivors that are left wouldn't be enough to take down the empire...

Hector: Exactly. The empires will stay in power and the world will continue to be enslaved by monarchy for the next 300 years!

Deamon: *Cough* And that's where you *Cough* come in?...

Hector: That's right. Foxx, I am going to become the world's greatest revolutionary. And my plan can only become complete with the development of nuclear technology...

Deamon: ... *Sigh*

Hector: Nuclear technology will be the gateway that allows me to combat these powers and wipe them off the map. I've been secretly at the head of developing this revolutionary technology, I am going to stop this pointless war with the most destructive force the world will ever know...

Deamon: You're gonna wipe out the planet! *Cough*

Hector: Fool... Even after all that, you cannot see my vision. You cannot see that these fools who sit on their thrones are committing each of the seven deadly sins to create this bogus war...

Deamon: Hector... If what you're saying is true, then we have a bigger problem than the score that we have to settle *cough* but the development *cough* of nuclear technology is not the answer!

Hector: *Laughs* It's already set in place Foxx. The five step process in nearly complete.

Deamon: Five *Cough* step process?

Hector: Yes. Step one, kill Remy and gain the October Moon from him. Step two, gain influence in the ranks of these empires. Step three, establish the October Moon as the ultimate power source for humankind. Step four, implement the Guardians as the force that ultimately guards the October Moon and carries out the order of select elimination....

Deamon: Select elimination... *Cough* Who have you been kiling?

Hector: *Laughs* Anyone who is a potential threat to the October Moon. The first targets were those who were capable of using magic. My guardians eliminated anyone who was familiar with the arts... Only those who use the technology of the October Moon are fit to live in the new free world!

Deamon: ...*Cough* You don't have the right...

Hector: To what? Choose who lives and who dies? *Laughs* Funny, coming from the mouth of a murderer...

Deamon: ...Five steps. What's the last step?

Hector: Develop nuclear technology and build the new free world under the concept of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. But... There's been a recurring thorn in my plans.

Deamon: ...

Hector: That's right. You, Deamon. Your appearance was unexpected to say the least. I thought you would've just died. But I didn't kill you because I needed to use you...

Deamon: ..Remy...

Hector: That's right. I used Remy as a mimic of you, "you" were my diversion. The empires were still in fear of Deamon Foxx and they would not dare to send their best out to fight a war knowing that you were on the loose still killing... But my diversion is no longer with us.... Because of you.

Deamon: ....

Hector: Time is running out for this war. The clock is ticking... You and Generation October were unexpected and unnecessary thorns! I needed to have Kali excommunicated because if she remained free in Yura, she would've recruited more and had more power to strike at me....

Deamon: ... *Cough* You're going about this the wrong way entirely....

Hector: *Laughs* I had 5 Guardians to lead my fight against each Kingdom and now.... I have only 3. And why is that? Because of you, Foxx. You and Generation October.... The necessity for nuclear weapons has never been greater!

Deamon: 5 Guardians?... I thought there were only 4?

Hector: *Laughs* One of them decided to ride alone, if you will.

Deamon: *Cough* Ride alone?....

Hector: It's of no importance at this point. I am done talking, Foxx.

(Hector stood up.)

Hector: Heh. Life, liberty... and the pursuit of happiness. For all mankind, Foxx. For all mankind....

(Hector walked out of the room. Deamon sat in his chair thinking about what Hector said and then began wondering about the four land mines placed near his chair. Which ones were active, which ones were inactive. The move he made was a complete gamble...)

(Deamon thought about which way to go. He couldn't just sit there to die, he had to act...)

Deamon: *To himself* Ok... I've got one move.... *Breathing heavily* Shit! How do I do it?.... Which one.... Argh....

(Deamon fought with himself for a few more minutes before finally deciding to simply stand straight up... And walk in front of him....)

Deamon: .....I'm *Cough* ok.... *Cough* I'm fine.... Fucking Hector....

(Deamon walked to door and opened it carefully. He saw a long, dark hallway with another door at the end. Deamon walked out and found a lighter and an aerosol can on the floor, he picked them up and walked out of into the freezing cold with no armor suit on.)

Deamon: *Shivering....* It'.....s.....cold..... Sh...it.....

(Deamon moved forward and found a battered winter armor suit a few feet in front of him. He ran back inside and put it on before finally coming back out.)

Deamon: *Breathing heavily* Much better.... Where am I?

(The mountain was still under whiteout conditions as Deamon tried to figure out where he was at. He couldn't really tell although he noticed that he was at a higher elevation than the base of the mountain. He looked up and saw that he was near the mountain summit.... He crawled through the area in fear of being spotted by patrolmen. There were none as Deamon made it up to the summit and found a small house of some sort. He remembered what Penniless had said about Kali and Rydol being at the summit but he opened the door very carefully...)

Deamon: Oh.... No!

(Deamon opened the door to find two decomposing skeletons in the room, side by side. One a man and the other a woman, Deamon ran inside and checked the bodies...)

Deamon: ....Fakes...?

(Outside Deamon heard the engine of a flying ship come up. He had no weapons but he couldn't just stay inside either, it was a setup... Deamon walked out of the room to find Penniless directly in front of him inside a small podship being driven by an unknown figure. The word, "Valente" was written on the side of the podship.)

Penniless: *Laughs* You fell for it... *Laughs* You fell for it! Nice surprise wasn't it? *Laughs* Well, here's your next surprise!!

(Penniless pulled his rifle to his eye and aimed at Deamon.)

Penniless: Yarnick...

Yarnick: Take your best shot!



(Penniless fired but Deamon rolled out of the way of the shot and began a quick sprint down the mountainside. The whiteout conditions made it impossible to see for either Deamon or Penniless. Deamon continued to run down the path as Penniless continued to follow and shoot at him from inside Valente.)

Deamon: ...*Out of breath* I can't...take this....

(Armed with only a lighter and a can of aerosol, Deamon had no weapon to fire at the Valente so he continued down through the mountain in the whiteout conditions. Deamon's lungs had given all they had as he stumbled over and as he started to now crawl down the mountain with Penniless still firing shot after shot at Deamon.)

Penniless: This is it, Foxx! *Laughs* You're gonna wish you had just paid with your body... But I'm gonna get it whether you're dead or alive! Ha, ha! Yarnick, steady the damn ship!

(Deamon was solely focued on getting down the mountain as he continued to crawl through the cold snow as quickly as he could with the sharpshooter still on his tail.)

Penniless: Foxx! Pay up! Pay up! Ha, ha, ha! Come on, Foxx! I love this kinda of warfare, makes me hot for love!

Deamon: *Out of breath* F...reak...

(Penniless' taunts were disturbing but Deamon crawled through the snow as hard as he could though his lungs didn't seem like they were gonna hold out on him. His breathing was becoming more erratic and it was still a ways down before he reached the base of the mountain but he treked on. As Penniless kept up his steady sniper rifle fire, Deamon was still treading down the path though it was now at an extremely slow pace as his lungs continued to give out on him.)

Penniless: You don't have much left, do you?! Give what's left of your body to me! I can heal you, I'll give you one shot to fix you right up, one penetration is all a man needs! Ha, ha, ha!

(Despite these taunts and his lungs failing on him, Deamon remained stable enough to continue down the path. He finally caught a break when he found a rifle loaded with gun metal deep in the snow. He picked up the rifle and as quickly as he could began shooting into the sky, though he couldn't see anything...)

Deamon: *Out of breath* Damn it! I...can't.....see.... breathe....

(Instead of continuing his fire, Deamon kept a steady pace down the mountain, his air supply was low though his body just would not quit on him, he was running on pure adrenaline to survive. His pace was getting slower, however and the whiteout conditions were beginning to end as he got closer to the base. With the conditions becoming better, Penniless' shots were becoming more accurate with two hitting Deamon in the side though the armor suit had taken most of the damage.)

Deamon: ...*Out of breath* ...Fuck... My... side.....

(Deamon's pace had become even slower as he struggled to pull his rifle to his eye to take a shot at the Valente.)

Penniless: You can't do it, Foxx! But I can do it to you! Ha, ha, ha! Let me inside your body! Allow me to introduce you to the ultimate panacea! Ha, ha, ha!

(Penniless took a few more shots but missed because of the Valente's movements.)

Penniless: Yarnick, steady the fucking ship!!!!

Yarnick: I'm trying to! This thing wasn't designed for this shit!

Penniless: Argh....

(Penniless' fire began to get erratic as his anger grew. Deamon, out of breath and essentially on his last legs pulled his rifle to his eye once again and took some shots at the Valente knowing that conventional weapons didn't work against the Guardians armor suits.)

Yarnick: Hey! Don't shoot my fucking ship!!

(Deamon's firing at the Valente enraged Yarnick who being the crazy daredevil that he was turned the ship and flew straight at Deamon, who as quickly as he could aimed and fired at the Valente's underbelly propeller.)

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

(The ship began to sputter out of control and began twisting as it spiraled all the way down....)

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

(The ship had crashed into the base of the mountain..... Deamon took began to catch his breath as he watched the small podship burn in flames.... Deamon crawled down the rest of the mountain and regained control of his breathing.....)

(Valente had been destroyed as Deamon walked down the mountain. As he got closer to the base, the flames that had incinerated the podship were being put out by the heavy snow....)

Deamon: ...*Cough* *Cough* I'm glad that's over....

(Deamon passed by the ship and began to walk through the base of the mountain when...)

BOOM! BOOM!



Deamon: What the hell!?

(A sniper was targeting Deamon who got down and quickly ran back towards the mountain trail.)

Deamon: ... He can't be.... *Cough*

(But he was. On the other side of the mountain's base was Penniless, his armor suit was ruined but he held his sniper rifle in hand and aimed at Deamon.)

Penniless: Foxx!.... You're good. I'll give you that. But I'm not gonna go down that easily.

(Deamon ran out towards Penniless but as he was getting closer Penniless fired, not at Deamon but at the ground. The shot caused the ground to explode on impact....)

Penniless: Before you make any more rash decisions and try to make your way across, you should know that this base has been rigged with land mines that stretch across the area.

Deamon: Land mines.... ? Shit!

Penniless: That's right. And you have no rifle to show for it. *Laughs* You're a either a sitting duck for my rifle fire or you're going to blow yourself up. *Laughs* There's no way you can win! No one gets lucky twice in the same day!

BOOM! BOOM!

(Penniless fired more shots at Deamon who ran back towards the Valente and hid behind the podship. He had nothing aside from the lighter and aerosol can, that wasn't gonna cut it right now. Deamon searched around where he was at to find some type of firearm but it was no use...)

Deamon: Damn it! There's nothing.... *Cough* I can't sit out here forever....

(Deamon pulled out the aerosol can and sprayed it.)

Deamon: *Sigh* This no *Cough* use.

(Deamon pulled out the lighter and played with it... He could hear shots being fired at the Valente but none were near hitting him.)

Penniless: You can't hide forever Foxx! *Laughs* Be happy, you're one of the few who gets to choose how they die!

(Penniless continued to fire but Deamon simply ignored him and just kept playing with the lighter.)

Deamon: ...Heh. *Coughs* Just great... I don't *Cough* even have any smokes... *Cough* One more before I go would be nice... *Cough*

(Deamon continued to play with the lighter and then just for the heck of it sprayed the aerosol can in front of the lighter to find an interesting surprise....)

Deamon: A flamethrower?... This is a homemade flamethrower.... *Cough* I could *Cough* use this. *Sigh* But those damn land mines.... *Cough* *Cough* *Cough* Shit... They're getting worse the more I stay out here... *Cough* I need to end this fast... *Cough*

(Deamon was still uncertain as to how he would get past the land mines and sat behind the Valente still trying to figure out what to do though time was running out, his coughing was getting terrible with each minute and he needed to finish this fight. But how?...)

Penniless: Foxx.... This is getting sickening! Heh, heh. But at the same time... I'm getting horny, it's romantic in a sense... It's like having the ultimate plan to sweep the one you love off their feet regardless of how much they resist.... I think I read something like this in a novel. Ha, ha!

(Penniless took another shot and his firing was becoming more accurate as his shots kept getting closer to Deamon. Deamon knew time was running out and he desperately tried to come up with some way to get past the land mines.)

Deamon: .... Argh... *Cough* *Cough* What's that sound?...

(Deamon noticed a beeping noise coming from the inside of the Valente. He stood up and looked inside the destroyed ship to see what it was.)

Penniless: There you are! Ha, ha, ha!

(Penniless took another shot at Deamon but he ducked out of the way and crawled to the pilot section to see where the beeping was coming from. It was a radar. The podship's radar still worked and the beeping was several small blips on the radar. They were all in a pattern... As Deamon tried to figure out what the pattern was, another shot was fired at him, this one cut through his left shoulder but he was ok for the most part.)

Deamon: ...*Cough* ... Could this be where the land mines are?.... *Cough*

(Penniless fired more shots but missed each time. Deamon did his best to memorize the pattern and crawled out of the Valente and was back on the other side of Penniless.)

Penniless: Decided to finally choose? Heh, heh, heh. Die!

(Penniless fired more shots but Deamon ran out of the way and tried his best to keep in line avoiding the mines. So far, he was fine as moved through the minefield dodging shot after shot from Penniless.)

Penniless: ...Argh! Die you persistent son of a bitch!

(Penniless fired more shots but Deamon dodged most while following the pattern in his head. He was doing well as he made it across the minefield and to Penniless' side with only a few nicks from his rifle fire.)

Penniless: .... How...?! Argh! Forget it!

(Penniless pulled his rifle back up to his eye and aimed to fire when Deamon quickly pulled out his aerosol can and sprayed Penniless in the eyes. The sniper fell down to his knees and took an accidental shot into the sky as he held his eyes in pain...)

Penniless: Ahh! Ahh! Shit.... Shit! Shit!

(Penniless was holding his eyes in pain when Deamon quickly reacted and pulled out the lighter and held it straight in front of Penniless.... He pulled up the aerosol can and sprayed, a burst of fire came out and lit the sharpshooter in flames....)

Penniless: Ahh! Ahh! Ahh! Fire! Fire! Fire!

(Penniless ran around in flames, he attempted to douse the fire out by jumping into the snow but each time he did, Deamon lit him in flames until he eventually was so badly burned that he could no longer feel his skin.... Seeing that Penniless was nearing his end, Deamon walked up to him.)

Deamon: ...*Cough* I've got one question, where are Kali and Rydol being held?

Penniless: *Dying* .... *Cough* I.... *Cough*...

Deamon: Talk...

Penniless: *Dying* ...I... In the....Forest.....

(Deamon's eyes popped out.)

Deamon: The forest?.... No....

Penniless: *Dying* .... It's all....

(Penniless died before he could finish his sentence.... Deamon picked up his rifle and took it with him. Penniless had burned alive in a blizzard. Now knowing that Kali and Rydol were somewhere in the forest, Deamon left Mt. Othella......)

(Deamon moved out of Mt. Othella and reentered the Yura landscape... It was a cold and cloudy afternoon as the sky was getting darker, a storm was coming. Deamon tested the rifle he had picked up from Penniless and took a few test shots. He noticed that the moon metal in the rifle didn't dry up a little with each shot.)

Deamon: Could this be the moon metal that Rydol was talking about? The type that doesn't dry out?...

(Deamon put the rifle away and moved through Yura back towards Iopa where the War House was located. Before reaching he noticed that the entire place was filled with troops, unlike before where there were only a few troops located in the town itself...)

Deamon: ...*Cough* They must have gotten word about me. Heh.

(The rain began to fall down as Deamon got within a few feet of the town. He got down and started to crawl through the mud surrounding the area and avoided the town. His next destination was the Hoya Forest, which was about a 5 day walk from his current position.)

Deamon: The forest... Of all places...

(Deamon tried to stop thinking about the forest and continued moving through the area. After traveling for a few days he reached Jack's Point, the area had become rundown in ten years but as he entered the area, he had flashbacks....)

Deamon: Yuki. Stay back.

Yuki: What?

Deamon: *Whispering* Hector.

Yuki: Here? You're kidding...

Deamon: Just stay here.

(Deamon pulled out his blade and rode towards the large rock at full speed.)

Hector: NOW!!

(Kali hidden behind the rock, sliced the two left legs of Deamon's horse off, bringing both him and the horse to the ground. While on the ground, Hector attacked Deamon but Deamon fended him off with a quick blow to the ribs.)

Hector: Bastard!

(Deamon charged at Hector and grabbed him by the throat and squeezed until he was turning a pale green color when Kali stabbed Deamon in the shoulder forcing him to release his grip and cry in pain. Hector regained his breath and walked to Deamon.)

Hector: Finally got you, Deamon. It's been a long time coming. Not as tough now, are we?

(Hector grabbed his axe and attempted to hack at Deamon before getting pierced by an arrow in the arm.)

Yuki: Deamon!


Deamon: ...*Sigh*

(Deamon shook off the memories of when he fought Hector at Jack's Point and continued past the area. Patrolmen in the area had begun to appear more and more as Deamon got closer to the forest...)

Deamon: *To himself* I guess Hector knows I'm coming.

(After a couple more days of travel, Deamon finally reached the Hoya Forest, there were still burnt sections from the fire but most of it seemed to have been restored at least from the outskirts. He was about 100 yards away from the actual entrance and noticed the many patrolmen scattered around the outside of the forest.)

Deamon: No way *Cough* I'm getting through that mess... I've gotta use my entrance then...

(Deamon crawled through the area and sneaked around the patrolmen in front of the forest to find his old secret entrance.)

Deamon: ...What?! They've got it covered too...

(The patrolmen had Deamon's old entrance covered as well. There was no way into the forest without entering a fire fight and although he was equipped with a rifle, there was no way he would be able to cut down all of those troops.... He left the area and headed to Narobia, which was only a few hours away.)

Deamon: ...*Cough* If I had some of their gear last time, it wouldn't be so hard... But I can't go back to Iopa now... Hmm...

(Deamon was outside of Narobia and found a group of people crowding over something. Deamon crawled near the people to see what all the fuss was about but was out of their field of vision so he wouldn't be seen.)

Deamon: What are they babbling about?...

(Deamon positioned himself so he could see through the crowd. He found out what it was that they were so excited about, a new flying podship.)

Deamon: ... That's kind of like the one that Penniless was riding in.

(Deamon saw a couple of guards walk by and overheard them talking.)

Patrolman 88: The Hoya Forest is on lock down. Apparently something big is going on down there.... Lord Hector was seen entering the area a few days ago.

Patrolman 103: Wonder what it could be...

Patrolman 88: Who knows... But apparently anybody who isn't a top level guy isn't getting in there. Access is limited strictly to those who are reporting directly to Lord Hector.

Patrolman 103: So is the inside guarded?

Patrolman 88: The best of the best have been rounded up and stuffed throughout that area. Any kid crazy enough to try and get through that type of security might as well save himself the trouble and hang himself right now.

Patrolman 103: *Laughs* You're crazy man.

Patrolman 88: It's the truth. The way I see it, the only way to get even get in would be a damn miracle. Hell, you'd probably have to drop in from the sky like some kind of divine being or something.

Patrolman 103: *Laughs* Hilarious. We should get back to work.

(The patrolmen left and as night fell, the buzz around the podship was dying down. Most of the people had left and now only a few guards surrounded it.)

Deamon: ...Fly in from the sky, huh? ...*Sigh* It's the only shot I've got.



(Deamon pulled out the sniper rifle and took out all 4 guards guarding the ship. There was no silencer on the rifle so the noise from the shots had alerted other guards from the sound. Deamon quickly searched the dead guards bodies and took whatever they had on them and then hopped into the podship as guards quickly arrived on the scene.)

Deamon: .... How do I fly this thing!?... Shit!

(Deamon started pushing some buttons and the ship started to ascend into the air, the guards were firing at the podship but Deamon took hold of the wheel and blasted off into the sky. He had no idea how to fly the thing but he was learning on the job as the podship continued to fly.)

Deamon: .... Oh boy... *Cough* I hope this isn't *Cough* more trouble than it's worth!

(The ship started to accelerate faster as Deamon pushed down on the pedal. He was gradually learning how to fly the thing as he ended up flying high above the ocean now.)

Deamon: ... I hate heights! I hate heights! Fuck!

(Although frightened by his situation, Deamon managed to figure out the basics of flying the podship. He steered his way high above the ocean and was beginning to turn back when another ship approached his side....)

Deamon: Who the... ?

(The podship was black and looked like it had just come out of the factory, the words, "Valente II" were written on the side......)

(Valente II had appeared on Deamon's right hand side. Deamon remembered the name Valente from before...)

Deamon: Him again...?

(Inside the Valente II was Yarnick, smiling at Deamon as he cut through the skies like the master pilot he was.)

Deamon: *Cough* *Cough* I can't believe it....

(The Valente II sliced past Deamon's podship nearly knocking the small ship out of the skies.)

Deamon: Argh...

(The Valente II then descended quickly towards the ocean and finally rose up right in front of Deamon's ship. Yarnick opened the window to his podship and began to speak.)

Yarnick: Foxx! *Laughs* You shot down my last ship with a lucky shot! This time, it won't happen again! Engage!

(Yarnick closed his window and began to fire bullets at Deamon's podship using Valente II. Deamon started losing control of his ship as the bullets pierced the ship's dingy exterior.)

Deamon: Fuck! He's got the upper hand.... Son of a bitch!

Yarnick: Ha, ha!

(Valente II continued to fire through as the Deamon and Yarnick squared off in a podship duel. Each began to take heavy fire from the others bullets but after several shots Deamon noticed that Yarnick's ship didn't seem to be affected.)

Deamon: ... *Cough* Something's not right.... Ah, Fuck!

(Yarnick had just swiped through the side of Deamon's podship with the wing of his own. Deamon lost his balance and desperately rushed to get the ship under control.)

Yarnick: *Laughs* Getting a little dizzy there, Foxx?

(Yarnick kept his steady fire up as Deamon's ship's exterior was starting to tear from the gunfire, many Yarnick's bullets were now entering the ship's interior, a few of which nearly hit Deamon. Deamon kept up his fire but still, it seemed to be no use, Valente II took the bullets like they were nothing.)

Deamon: Argh.... Shit! Damn it!

(Deamon fell to his back as the Valente II quickly drove under Deamon's ship and rose straight up into Deamon's ship's underbelly. Valente II began to fly in circle's around Deamon's ship causing Deamon to spin as he continued to fire.)

Yarnick: Dizzy, yet?

(Yarnick kept flying in circles around Deamon's ship and Deamon kept chasing after it. The nonstop 360 degree turns made Deamon dizzy and sick in his stomach as Yarnick opened the window to his ship once more and this time, got out of the ship while it was still flying and stood on top of it.)

Yarnick: Foxx! Heh. Valente II is bulletproof, much like my armor suit. So to make this more interesting and to give me more of an adrenaline rush, we're going to play a game....

(Deamon's head was spinning as he staggered to stand up to listen to Yarnick.)

Yarnick: The game is called "Chicken." And it's quite simple... There's a volcano about 45 miles from here heading in this direction, you and I are going to have a little race, to this very volcano on a crash course to smash into. The first one to pull away from the Volcano loses....

(Deamon stood up and listened. The world was still spinning but he was aware of what Yarnick was saying.)

Yarnick: But there's one more condition. We're not going to be flying these ships... No. *Laughs* That would be too easy. We're going to stand on top of them!

Deamon: *Cough* ....What...?

Yarnick: Ha, ha!



(Before Deamon could do anything, Yarnick jumped on top of Deamon's podship and opened his window and stepped into the interior. Instinctively, Deamon pulled out his rifle and began to shoot at Yarnick but the shots did no damage to him of course. Yarnick simply kept on with his business and messed around with the ship's control panel.)

Deamon: What are you doing!?

Yarnick: Putting this ship on auto-pilot, of course! *Laughs*

(Deamon tried to grab Yarnick but the slender, flexible Guardian simply hopped out of the ship and landed back on top of his own.)

Yarnick: The ship has a mind of it's own now Foxx.... Play the game. It's already starting!

Deamon: You *Cough* crazy...

(Deamon climbed out of the ship and stood on top of it. Balancing himself was a task in itself even without the ship because of Deamon's dizziness but once the ship started moving, Deamon started to stagger as his knees got weak.)

Yarnick: Don't you just love the rush!? *Laughs* Think about it. Whoever wins, they still lose! Ha, ha!

(The podships were flying at a rate of 200 MPH, Deamon could no longer stand on his own feet as he tried to pull out his rifle when Yarnick began to taunt him.)

Yarnick: ...You still don't get it, do you?

(Deamon ignored Yarnick and started to search from the items that he found on the dead guards, he worked as quickly as he could as the volcano was now in plain view. Foxx was searching for something he could use....)

Yarnick: Come on, Foxx! Heh, heh. We're almost at the volcano! Are you gonna be a chicken?

(Yarnick started making chicken noises to distract Deamon but Deamon's focus was solely on his equipment. From what he found, he saw a variety of pieces of Moon Metal, ranging from ice to electrical.)

Deamon: .... Argh.... There's *Cough* gotta be something....

(The volcano was now in full view and it would be only another 3 minutes or so before they would crash into it. Deamon thought for a second and came up with something. He didn't know if it would work but it was worth a shot... He put the Ice Moon Metal in his rifle and aimed, not at Yarnick, not at the podship but instead at the ship's propeller.)

Yarnick: Ha, ha! Playing the gun game, again? What part of bulletproof do you not get? I'll show you the difference!

(Yarnick started shooting at Deamon's ship. Deamon's aim was shaky and he shot a piece of the ice metal but missed. Time was running out....Only about a minute and a half before impact. Deamon aimed more carefully and took another shot at the propeller, this one missed too.)

Yarnick: Your aim is God awful, Foxx.... Stick to swords. *Laughs* Almost time...

(Deamon aimed at the propeller once again and fired.... This time, it hit it's target. The propeller began to slow down as the ice seeped through the interior. Yarnick hadn't noticed yet as the Valente II and Deamon's ship were fast approaching impact with the volcano in about 45 seconds.)

Yarnick: Too bad, Foxx. I lose.

(Yarnick quickly opened the window to Valente II and got in his seat. Deamon did the same as both ships were only 30 seconds away from impact. Yarnick's propeller was slowing to a halt as he took his ship off of auto-pilot and attempted to turn but it wouldn't.)

Yarnick: *Panicking* What... What's going on!? Turn! Turn!

(Yarnick struggled with his ship as Deamon fumbled with the auto-pilot controls and managed to get it off and turned the ship out of the way of volcano before it crashed into it. Yarnick, realizing that his ship was going to crash, turned to Deamon and looked at him... His eyes were wide and frightened as Deamon gave him a thumbs up sign right before Valente II crashed into the volcano and blew up into small pieces that littered the ocean.)

Deamon: ... *Out of breath* ...I should have stayed on Garaluga...

(The third guardian had been killed. His bulletproof ship had exploded into flames.... Deamon piloted his battered ship towards the Hoya Forest......)

(Deamon flew across the skies, his podship was starting to smoke and sputter but he kept on moving towards the Hoya Forest...)

Deamon: Hang on, ship... Hang on... Just get my to the forest and I'll give you a break... *Cough* *Cough* ...Shit, I need one myself *Laughs* Man...



(Deamon was entering the area surrounding the Hoya Forest when he began to feel gunfire hitting the ship. The patrolmen in the area were firing at Deamon's ship.)

Deamon: ... Damn it! Don't they ever quit...

(Deamon mashed down the accelerator pedal and cut through the skies, he began firing at the troops on the ground but the podship's firing power was mostly gone due to the battle with Yarnick. The patrolmen continued their assault as Deamon steered the ship through the skies to the best of his abilities but the podship couldn't take much more...)

Deamon: God damn it! Fuck... *Cough* Almost there.... Almost there.... Push it, come on, push it!

(The podship was slowing down as the gunfire was taking it's toll on the ship's interior. Deamon mashed down on the accelerator as hard as he could but the ship wasn't moving any faster. Deamon began getting angry and started bashing the control panel as the patrolmen continued to fire...)

Deamon: Come on! Come on! Come the fuck on! *Cough* Just a little more! Hold the fuck out you piece of shit!!!

(Deamon's bashing didn't cause the ship to move any faster as the gunfire pierced through the ship's engine, causing it to burst in flames...)

Deamon :*Cough* Oh fuck... Please, God... Don't tell me you let me get this far and now you're gonna take me down! Son of a bitch, move!

(Deamon continued through the gunfire as the ship's engine kept burning, the ship finally reached above the Hoya Forest as time was running out on how long the ship would hold up under the flaming engine...)

Deamon: Ok... She got me through! Yes! Now what?...

(Deamon looked down towards the forest.)

Deamon: ... Oh this is a long fall... Fuck, I hate heights *Coughs* Oh this better worth it...



(Deamon threw himself out of the ship as it exploded right after he jumped. Deamon plunged down into the forest at an incredible rate and finally hit the bottom....)

Deamon: Ahhh!..... Shit.... That.... *Cough* *Cough* *Cough* Hurt....

(Deamon attempted to stand up.)

Deamon: Ahh...

(But he couldn't. His back had gone out on him. Lucky for Deamon he had landed in a zone where no patrolmen were at...yet. But he was sure they would be on the hunt very soon as he kept attempting to lift himself up to no avail. His back had taken enough damage...)

Deamon: ...*Out of breath* I can't....do it.... *Cough* Fuck....Not yet.... Not yet... God.

(Deamon tried to stand up once again but his back wasn't gonna let him... Realizing this, Deamon simply laid there hoping that he wouldn't be spotted.)

Deamon: I don't have it.... My body just doesn't have it.... *Cough* Why....God.... Why let me get this far.... *Cough* And snatch it away from me...? Please.... Ahh... I gave up on you once, don't make me give up on you again.....

(Deamon lifted his arm up and slammed it down. Patrolmen were now heard rustling through the area.... Deamon started to panic. He didn't know what to do....)

Deamon: ...Fuck.... *Suppressed cough* Please.... let me.... up....

(Deamon attempted to get up once again but his body wasn't gonna let him do what his mind wanted... The patrolmen were getting closer and Deamon simply couldn't move.)

Deamon: ....It's over.... It's all over...

(Deamon gave up on trying to stand up and just listened as the guards got near his area. With no way to get up, it seemed as though Deamon's attempt to stop Hector was going to come to an end....)

(Deamon was still down as his back had given out on him. Several patrolmen were entering the area and Deamon had no way to prevent them from spotting him....)

Deamon: ...Oh shit.... They're here...

(The patrolmen zipped through the area and began searching every piece of the forest as they looked for Deamon. They were still a ways from Foxx but Deamon couldn't stand up if he wanted to and the patrolmen kept searching the area, with each minute they got closer to spotting Deamon.)

Elite Patrolman 787: Nothing. All clear in this spot.

Elite Patrolman 5545: Same here. Nothing. Keep moving fellas.

(The elite patrolmen slashed through the underbrush of the forest and searched the area as Deamon was still stuck on his back.)

Deamon: ...*Suppressed Laugh* You gotta be fucking kidding me.... Heh. How fucking cruel is that...? To put me *Laughs* through this Hell... And then to fucking end it right here.... Oh *Suppressed cough* this is just great....

(The elite patrolmen kept up their search as Deamon began to figuratively raise the white flag on his situation... He had no forseable hope as the guards kept slicing through the area.)

Elite Patrolman 9898: Still nothing. Keep it moving boys! Don't get lazy, he's around here somewhere.

Elite Patrolman 6768: Boys, I think I got something!

(All of the patrolmen ran to the area quickly and looked at what the patrolman was talking about....)

Elite Patrolman 990: IT'S A FUCKING DEAD RAT!! What is WRONG WITH YOU!? We're on a SERIOUS mission and you're just goofing off!!! Get the fuck out of here, get the fuck out of here!!

(The Elite Patrolman who spotted the rat was taken away by a couple of the guards. Hearing this, Deamon started to laugh under his breath...)

Deamon: I'm gonna *Cough* get caught by these guys... What a sense of humor...

(The patrolmen got back on their search and started looking for Deamon once again. Deamon was beginning to get restless and began to think of ways to possibly distract these guys.)

Deamon: Hmm.. What do I *Cough* got?....

(Deamon reached out for his bag but he couldn't reach it. He stretched his arm out as far as he could but the noise made from the rustling of the grass alerted the elite patrolmen to his area. They ran quickly towards it.)

Elite Patrolman 777: We may have something boys! Move! Move! Move!

(Deamon struggled but managed to get inside his bag and dug around it. He found an explosive and hurled it at the enemies.... The explosive blew up on impact with the ground and sent the elite patrolmen into the air. He had kept them at bay for now but he knew the explosion would alert the other guards.... )

Deamon: ...*Cough* Fuck. *Laughs* Right at the skin of my teeth.... I wonder if the bastard creating this Hell for me is enjoying himself.... Son of a bitch.... *Laughs*

(Deamon was beginning to get more feeling in his back an attempted to stand up... He was successful in sitting up but even that took a lot out of him. Deamon took a minute to rest...)

Deamon: *Out of breath* Maybe I can.... Ahh... One step at a time Foxx.

(Deamon started to stand up but with each movement, he could feel his back snapping but he pushed himself and stood up after a loud crack occurred in his back.)

Deamon: *Out of breath* ...I guess I'm not...finished yet.

(Deamon picked up his bag and rifle. He wasn't 100% but he was well enough to start moving through the forest. His armor suit was in shambles and he pulled the one he had off and stole one from one of the soldiers he killed with the explosive. It was a tight fit but he would manage... Deamon looked around the forest, it was different but still the same. He could feel his past in this area... So many memories but he was still only in the canopy of the forest, if he knew Hector, Kali and Rydol would be held somewhere deep in the darkness of the forest floor...)

(Deamon started through the forest finally. He noticed patrolmen were out in huge numbers. He could see some of Hector's influence in the area with the addition of unmanned and manned firing weapons.)

Deamon: ... What the hell are those things...?

(Deamon could hear some rustling behind him, whatever it was, it was moving fast. Deamon ducked in some heavy grass when he saw whatever it was that was behind him.)

Deamon: More Patrolmen?



(The Patrolmen were storming through the area, they rushed into postion and set up their weapons and stationed themselves where they were going to be at. The troops were locked, loaded and ready to fire at anything in they saw. Deamon looked on as they began to fire erratically at the entrance from which he came.)

Deamon: ...What are they doing?...

(The patrolmen were firing nonstop until one guard motioned them to halt.)

Elite Patrolman 1: If the intruder manages to come through. We've just practiced how we're going to take him down. Everyone, be on high alert. This man took out a group of soldiers a few yards back. Kill on site. I repeat, kill on site.

(All of the soldiers pulled their rifles to their eyes and were all positioned in the direction where Deamon was at. Deamon sat tightly and thought about how he was going to get through this situation now....)

Deamon: *To himself* Fuck! I can't believe this.... These guys have me surrounded. Think... This is nothing like the old days....

(Deamon pulled out his rifle, slowly and quietly and took a look at the scenery. He focused on the manned weapons (Mortars) and saw what the troops manning them were doing, they were loading in large shells located around the weapon and stuffing them into the tube.)

Deamon: ... *To himself* That would help me take out a lot of guys quickly... Argh.... Getting there is gonna be the problem though. I need a distraction...

(Deamon quietly looked through his bag but found no explosives.)

Deamon: *To himself* Damn it. Ok... I take a shot at the guy on the weapon, fire at a couple of the other guys and run like hell to the weapon and hope that they don't catch me. .... This is the stupidest idea you've come up with since jumping off that damn ship. ...I don't wanna do it...

(Deamon used his rifle once again to search the area and see if there was anything else he could use or do that could get him out of the area without being seen.)



Deamon: Nothing. *Sigh* Time to test my luck again.... *Cough* *Cough* *Laughs* Why do I always feel that that cough is a warning cough is a warning sign....

(Deamon reluctantly carried out his plan and fired his rifle at the guy manning the mortar, this alerted the guards who began to fire immediately where Deamon was at, none of the shots hit him and Deamon shot a few of the soldiers firing before getting out of his hiding place and running towards the mortar. On his way over to the mortar, soldiers fired at him nonstop, a few of the shots scathed through Deamon's armor and pierced the skin but his adrenaline kept him moving towards the mortar and fired at his enemies upon reaching the weapon. The mortar took out nearly all of the enemies with the first blow but a few more still stood and Deamon loaded up the mortar and took those guys out too.)

(Next he had to deal with the unmanned weapons that were firing at him. Instead of using the mortar, Deamon simply fired at them with his rifle destroying them enough so that they could no longer fire. After doing this, Deamon immediately got out of dodge and headed down through the forest. He had reached the Understory layer of the forest. It was much darker down here but there was still enough light to make out soldiers and such. Deamon could hear troops running behind him. His daring move with the mortar had alerted them to where he was at and where he was headed.)

Deamon: *Out of breath* Sneaking is out of the question... I've got a fire fight on my hands. *Cough* What did you get yourself into, Foxx... *Cough* Fuck...

(Deamon ran through the area and began to fire recklessly at whatever he could see, soldier or no soldier, but in doing so he foolishly alerted more troops to his position but he didn't care, he just kept on running and shooting. His oxygen level was starting to deplete as he kept running but his plan was to just get to the forest floor, if he could get there, he could hide in the pitch black darkness of that layer....)

Deamon: ...*Out of breath* Not that much farther....

(Deamon continued to storm through the area as the troops kept firing at Deamon and piercing his armor suit with each shot, in the area he was in now, the soldiers were using explosives and mortars against Deamon. The explosions caused him to lose his hearing but he kept on moving, he was nearing the forest floor as the light in each area was getting dimmer and dimmer.)

Deamon: ... *Out of breath* Give me... a little...more.... Hold on.... Don't quit....

(Deamon continued to tell his body to keep up his strength to run and it seemed to give him that extra push as the firing and explosions in his area got worse and worse, eventually knocking Deamon off of his feet but he got up as quickly as he could and kept moving. His lungs were depleted of oxygen and his sides were suffering from an incredibly sharp pain, his leg was damaged from one of the explosions, his armor suit was completely ruined and his hearing was nearly gone but he kept pushing forward.)

(The dimming lights seemed to be giving Foxx the edge as he patted his chest while he ran to help pump more oxygen in his lungs and he kept it up until he felt the firing and the explosions stop.... His hearing was nearly back and he overheard one of the soldiers echo out.... "Enough fire boys. We're not going down there. That's where they say she's at...." Deamon stopped once he realized that the soldiers were no longer after him and sat down for a breather.... )

Deamon: ... *Out of breath...* All of this... *Cough* *Cough* *Cough* this is the forest floor.... I made...it...

(Deamon took a deep sigh of relief and rested his tired body up for about 20 minutes before standing up again. His armor suit was completely destroyed. He pulled off the tattered pieces that were left and threw them to the ground.... He looked around. He couldn't see anything, he couldn't hear anything, there were no patrolmen in the forest floor. Deamon carefully walked down the quiet trail... As he walked he stepped on something, it was a sword.)

Deamon: What's this...? A sword? Wow... Looks like it hasn't been used in years.

(Deamon picked the sword up, it was a traditional kind, no space for Moon Metal or anything. After studying it for a moment Deamon remembered and he began to have flashbacks....)

(Deamon picked up the sword and remembered he began walking through the forest floor... each point gave him distinct memories....)

Turgan: My name is Turgan. I am a Master Swordsman from Gabul.

Deamon: And your business here?

Turgan: Execution.

Deamon: We're a lot alike then.


Deamon: ...This is his sword.... Turgan.

(Deamon continued to walk and as he kept moving, more memories were coming into his head...)
Turgan: A young life.... Is a terrible thing to waste!!

(Turgan raised his sword high in the air and brought it down when Deamon kicked him in the nuts leaving the swordsman vulnerable for attack.)

Turgan: Urgh....

Deamon: No more. No more, Turgan.

(Deamon hacked away at Turgan, limb for limb until there was nothing left except for Turgan's body and his arms and legs spread across the ground.)

Turgan: I..... Why...... Don't...... Please.... Ah......

(Deamon: lifted the body of Turgan into the air and held him by the back of his neck.)

Deamon: The October Moon. Do you know of it?

Turgan: The jewel.... It's..... A.... Myth..... You're....after it.....

Deamon: No. But it's a myth?

Turgan: I...lived.... to....see the man....who....designed it..... supposedly.... He was.....my grandfather.... He told me.... That it was a myth.... That he used to gain....money and...influence.

Deamon: What did it supposedly do?

Turgan: Gave....man.....wisdom..... Unlocked all.....power....of the....mind.... But it does....not....exist.....

Deamon: How can you be so sure?

Turgan: Trust me...... Don't...be fooled.... by a magician's....parlor tricks...... Your Lord Remy..... Is very....

Deamon: How do you know Remy? Who are you really?

Turgan: ... Heh. The...keeper....of the.....grounds..... The first servant.....Of Lord....Remy.

Deamon: What?!

Turgan: Heh....Heh.... Heh.... I....served Lord Remy for years...I was the original nightmare..... Turgan the Terrible..... Heh...Heh..... You're a puppet of....his making.... Deamon....


Deamon: This is where all of this started....

(Deamon kept moving forward but once again, with each step memories of the forest littered his head...)

Deamon: Fire?

Yuki: The palace is burning!

Deamon: Remy... They got him? Yuki, get out of here!

Yuki: What are you gonna do?

Deamon: Hector's gotta be around here somewhere, I'm gonna find him..... And kill him.

Yuki: What? For Lord Remy? You don't even know if Hector did this!

Deamon: Doesn't matter, this was our home too, Yuki.

Yuki: I'm not going anywhere, Deamon.

Deamon: This is a forest fire, Yuki. It'll incinerate everything in it's path in a few short hours. Get out of here and go to Narobia. Wait for me there.

Yuki: I said I wasn't going. I'm not gonna let you...

Deamon: Listen to ME! This is not a place for you! It's my fight, my fight and not yours!

Yuki: You're wrong. We're together, it's our fight. If you die, where does that leave me?

Deamon: ... Then come on. We'll head to the base.


(The memories wouldn't stop as Deamon continued down the dark path....)

Lord Remy: So, I promised to tell all what was going on so I will. Heh. As you can see my castle is burning, burning straight to the ground... Boo hoo. Woe is me. Or that's what I would've said if I hadn't been the one to burn it myself!

Deamon: Why?!

Lord Remy: Calm down, Deamon. Don't think I'd do something so rash and...

(Hector made a daring move and attempted to put Sessell in a choke hold but Remy merely kicked him off.)

Lord Remy: Oh, I see.

Hector: Fight fair! One on one. Me and you. In your body, that's all I want.

Lord Remy: Should I grant the man his wish, Deamon? Does he deserve it, Yuki? Heh, heh.

Yuki: Don't speak to me!

Lord Remy: Remember what I said before Yuki.... You remember what I said. Heh, heh.

Hector: Enough games, let's go!

Kali: Hector, wait. This isn't smart. This place is burning, it's no place for a battlefield. We've gotta retreat.


Deamon: Kali.... Remy.... Everyone.... *Sigh*

(The memories kept coming...)

Lord Remy: And they say I'm insane. Heh. But I'll give Hector what he wants. Now's the time to leave for anyone who's planning to make an exit. After this minute, there won't be a way to escape a fiery death. So Kali and Sessell, if you leave your comrade.... He won't be coming back. And Deamon, if you want Yuki to leave then tell her to come here, I'll put her in no harm's way.

Deamon: Go Yuki. He'll put you in a safe place.

Yuki: No. I refuse, Deamon.

Lord Remy: Now's not the time for a couple's bickering. Heh, so what's it gonna be Yuki? Old Remy won't hurt you.

Deamon: Go. Now.

Yuki: I can't.

Deamon: Please... For me.

Yuki: ...Just come back.

(Yuki walked over to Remy, who teleported her to Narobia.)

Kali: I'm not leaving Hector, Sessell.

Lord Remy: Can't get enough of Deamon, eh, Kali? Ha, ha.

Deamon: What?

Lord Remy: Oh, sorry, nothing worth talking about. Heh, heh.

Kali: I'll kill you myself, Remy!


Deamon: Everything was so different.... It all seems almost childish now...

(Deamon continued down the long path... It was like his path of memories...)

Kali: Your girlfriend is right Deamon, why do you fight with this monster?

Deamon: No time for talk.

(Deamon slashed at Kali while Hector began his charge at Remy and gained the upperhand. Remy squirmed for mercy as Hector hacked away at his arms leaving a trail of blood on the burning ground.)

Hector: I promised I'd kill you, Remy. And now, I'm fufilling it!

(Hector's rage continued to grow and he more mercilessly hacked and hacked at Lord Remy who seemingly just gave up fighting and allowed Hector's onslaught to continue.)

Deamon: Lord Remy!

(Deamon rushed to Lord Remy's aid but Kali stopped him in his tracks by throwing her daggers at him and then hurling 5 explosives his way, causing him to go down hard and simply look on as Hector delivered his finishing blow.)

Lord Remy: Urghh............

Hector: *Out of breath* We've done it.

(Hector turned towards Deamon, who he could see was incapabable of moving but still conscience.)

Hector: One last pest to get rid of.

(Hector held his axe high in the air but Kali stopped him.)

Kali: Don't do it!

Hector: Why not?

Kali: He doesn't deserve it. Please, let him be.

Hector: But his head is needed for the prize as well!

(Deamon simply watched as Hector once again held the axe high above his head ready to deliver the kill until he force stopped him.)


Deamon: ...The whole time... The whole time, it was there. I couldn't see it. *Cough* *Cough* I have to put all of this behind me....

(The long dark path down had finally ended and the flashbacks along with it. Deamon looked at the area he was in and remembered it as the place where Remy's palace once stood. Deamon saw what appeared to be an underground entrance, he headed for it when he began to hear someone speaking.....)

(Deamon heard the voice through the woods. It sounded like two people, whoever it was, they were having a strange conversation...)

??? Woman: But... If the delivery of the goods is not sent in...

??? Man: What are you talking about dear? Delivery of goods! That should have never happened. We are delivering a massive package to the corridor of basement 25.

??? Woman: Basement 25? *Laughs* You're wrong! The delivery will be made to Basement 78!

??? Man: 25? 78? What difference does it make? The goods must be delivered!

??? Woman: Well.... The package has just arrived.

(Deamon looked around the area but strangely enough the two voices seemed to be in separate areas but they were obviously having a conversation. Deamon still continued to listen in...)

??? Woman: So, what should we do now that the package has come?

??? Man: What is wrong with you woman!? We deliver it to the boss!

??? Woman: The man or the woman boss?

??? Man: Whoever you're more comfortable with.

??? Woman: I like the man. He's strong, handsome and has a very commanding personality!

??? Man: ...Hmm... I like the woman. She has a nice figure and she's not a bad shot either. She's my kind of woman.

??? Woman: *Laughs* Well aren't we in a dilemma now?

??? Man: I suppose we should simply get the package then.

??? Woman: To Basement 25 or 78, though?

??? Man: Bah! 2578, we'll figure it out. Now, shall we?

??? Woman: Por favor, tu primer.

(As Deamon continued to listen in a figure leaped out of the woods. Startled, Deamon jumped back and looked up to find a woman standing before him...)

???: ....

(The woman had no armor suit to speak of and she wore an outfit that Deamon hadn't seen in 10 years. It was like she was living in the past too along with him... The woman was a stunning beauty with long beautiful brunette hair and skin that glowed in the darkness of the forest floor. Though Deamon noticed one strange thing about her appearance, she was completely scarred...)

Deamon: ...Who are you?

???: I agree. The music of the forest is lovely... Thank you for playing such wonderful tunes... The orchestral sounds of men being slaughtered... It's almost as beautiful as doing this....

(The woman pulled out a knife and began slicing herself across the chest. As the blood dripped from her chest, she began to speak.)

???: Come.... Lick my gifts.... Lick what I've given to you.....

Deamon: ....What?...

(The woman was apparently psychotic. Deamon pulled out the blade he had and lifted it to her.... But she seemed unphased as she began to undress herself.)

???: It's so hot..... Under the sun.... When I'm in heat, I like to do things to myself.... Do you wanna see? *Laughs*

Deamon: What's wrong with you?.....

???: *Laughs* Let me show you. I hope you enjoy this.... Its gonna make your bones stand straight up.

(The woman, now naked stopped slicing her skin and then placed the blade around her vagina area....)

Deamon: ...Whoa. *Cough* *Cough* What the hell are you doing!?

???: I love this.... Don't you?

(The woman then shoved the blade slowly and sensually inside her vagina, she was cutting and pleasuring herself at the same time.... She began to make orgasm as she pushed the blade harder and harder into her. Blood was pouring from that area and Deamon was horrified...)

???: ...Uhh..... Come inside and play.

(The woman pulled the blade out after reaching orgasm and licked the blade clean. She then watched Deamon as he watched her...)

???: You didn't enjoy my show?....

(The woman began to cry and as the tears rolled down, she started to slice marks in her face where the tears were flowing from, it gave her the appearance of having blood tears... Deamon regained his composure back and walked towards her.)

???: *Laughs* I'm so glad you could join us....

(Deamon looked around but saw no one. He was really shaken up by the whole situation but he still came towards her. He grasped his blade and held it to her. She simply smiled and began to wrap her bloody body around Deamon. Deamon pulled away and slashed at her but the attack only seemed to make her happier. She started laughing and stuck her tongue out at him. Deamon didn't know what to do, this woman was insane. The woman cocked her head to the side and smiled at Deamon as the two of them stared each other down.....

(The insane woman got on her knees and began moving towards Deamon. Still uncertain about who or what this person was, Deamon took more slashes at her but the more she was cut, the more enjoyment she seemed to have gotten.)

Deamon: Who are you!?

???: I'm on my knees..... For you, Adam.

Deamon: Adam?....

???: I'm Eve. Please, let me help you plant your seed.

Deamon: The fuck are you talking about? Who are you?

(After this the woman seemed to flip into another mode....)

???: Kage. Kage Marlette.

Deamon: Kage Marlette? ...The Guardian?

Kage: *Laughs* It comes as no surprise....

Deamon: What?

Kage: Our boss will reveal what's blinding us all.

Deamon: What are you talking about?

Kage: Thank you, Mr. Kiko.

Deamon: ...

Kage: Mr. Kiko... I see what is unseen. I feel what is not felt. My blood is the blood of the souls which have perished... Blood that has already felt and seen death. I lick the wounds of the soldiers which you have murdered... There is no reason for our meeting. You have taken many lives.... Wounded many hearts, uncovered many hidden truths....

Deamon: Enough, already!

(Kage's eyes popped out and she looked at Deamon with a stunned look on her face.)

Kage: Where are your manners? *Cries* Can't... You....see that, that I'm talking.... to Mr. Kiko!?

(Kage began to slash away at her arms, hacking deep scars into her skin on top of the ones already there. Deamon had seen enough.)

Deamon: You're insane.

(Deamon lifted his blade and charged at Kage who whipped herself around, grabbed Deamon's blade out of his hands and made a huge incision on her chest....)

Kage: Is that what you were gonna do? Mr. Kiko told me not to talk to strangers....

Deamon: What are you?...

Kage: Can you see me? Can you see me, Mr. Kiko?

(Kage disappeared. Deamon was left stunned at what he just saw and walked towards the entrance to the underground base when someone leaped out of the sky and slashed down at him. She missed. It was Kage. Deamon was now face to face with this insane woman again... He had no idea how to stop her....)

(Kage looked at Deamon with a strange, happy look on her face. She kept smiling as she held Deamon's blade in her hand. Deamon stood there and got into a fighting stance and decided how to approach her.)

Deamon: *To himself* This bitch is crazy.... What's wrong with her? *Cough*

(Deamon started to approach Kage but she twirled around and threw the sword into the air. Deamon looked up and attempted to grab it but Kage was too quick and agile and knocked Deamon to the ground and grabbed his blade and held it to his heart.)

Deamon: ....*Wheezing* Gonna kill...me now?...

Kage: I'm gonna show you.

Deamon: What...? Ugh..... Sh...it.....

(Kage stabbed Deamon directly in the heart.....)

(Deamon woke up groggily inside a car. He was driving down a dark road, he saw nothing.)

Deamon: *Groggily* ...Where....?

(Deamon looked around slowly and then looked at his chest.)

Deamon: ...Oh shit!

(Deamon's heart was still pierced, blood was dripping all over the place.)

Deamon: .... *Cough* ...Am I dead!? What is this!? Is this Hell?...

Kage: It's a thief in the night to come and grab you. It can creep up inside you and consume you. A disease of the mind, it can control you.

(Shocked, Deamon looked to his right to see Kage sitting right next to him.)

Deamon: ... What is this?...

Kage: It's too close for comfort.

(At that very moment, both Deamon and Kage were pulled through the top of the car. The two of them ended up face to face but neither had control of their body.)

Deamon: Where are we!?

(Kage ignored him and Deamon looked up. His arms were positioned like a puppet. And what he saw when he looked up was a giant doll-like figure controlling both of them, a puppet master.)

Deamon: *Frightened* WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT!?

Kage: ....Mr. Kiko.

("Mr. Kiko" placed a sword in both Kage and Deamon's hands. He then began forcing them to fight but he was controlling the entire thing...)

(Deamon made an upward slash at Kage but she dodged it and countered with a vicious high kick to Deamon's face. "Mr. Kiko" then began to make Kage dig her sword into Deamon's wounded heart....)

Deamon: Ahh!!!! ...Fuck...!!! ...Stop!!!!

("Mr. Kiko" pulled Kage off of Deamon and began to laugh as he made Deamon squirm around while he was screaming in pain. The puppet master than pulled Deamon up and forced him to stab Kage in the stomach and then follow up with a strangling choke hold.)

Kage: Ugh... Ugh.... Ugh...

Deamon: ... *In pain* Get....off of me!....

(Deamon's mind was telling him to swipe at "Mr. Kiko" but he couldn't do anything physically. This was unlike anything he had experienced. He kept trying to let go of Kage and start attacking at "Mr. Kiko" but he was just burning out his mind with each attempt. As Kage was on the brink of death, he pulled Deamon off of her and made the two of them stand face to face. Deamon began to wonder whether or not Kage was in league with this "Mr. Kiko" or not...)

Deamon: ...*Cough* Kage!

("Mr. Kiko" forced Kage's head down and made her stare at the ground as Deamon continued to call her name.)

Deamon: Kage! Try and break it, damn it!! Come on!

(Seeing what Deamon was saying, "Mr. Kiko" let go of Kage's strings and pulled out a lighter....)

Deamon: Kage! He let go! Come on, help me out! Use the sword and cut the strings!

(But Kage was unresponsive and Deamon continued to call for her help while "Mr. Kiko" lit the lighter and set Deamon's back on fire. "Mr. Kiko" made Deamon run around in circles like a fool as he wailed in pain from the burning. Kage was beginning to stand up on her own when "Mr. Kiko" grabbed her strings and forced her to slash at Deamon's burning back.)

Deamon: ....*In pain* God....Damn it.... Ahh..... Fuck, man.....

("Mr. Kiko forced Deamon to his knees and made Kage knee him in the face several times before allowing Deamon to fall on his face. After a short break, "Mr. Kiko" raised Deamon to his feet and once again held him and Kage face to face.)

Deamon: ...*Out of breath* ...Kage! ...Kage.... Hear me..... Please.....

("Mr. Kiko" forced Kage to shake her head in disagreement as Deamon continued to yell at her to snap her out of it.)

Deamon: *Out of breath* Kage! Come ON!!

(Kage's expression changed.)

Kage: ....You....

Deamon: Kage? Cut the strings! When he gets us....

("Mr. Kiko" slammed Deamon and Kage into one another several times and then started to swing them around causing Deamon to throw up after the swinging stopped.)

Deamon: ... *Dizzy and out of breath* Ka..ge. Cut...

(But before he could finish, "Mr. Kiko" raised Deamon high into the air and held him there for a moment.)

Deamon: *Terrified* I hate heights!

(After that statement, "Mr. Kiko" slammed Deamon to the ground face first and while he was on the ground, a group of small creepy dolls began to climb into the scene. They quickly scurried around and grabbed Deamon's legs but not Kage's. The dolls clinged on to Deamon and began scratching him when "Mr. Kiko" raised him up and teased him by allowing him control of his arms to just barely touch the dolls but then pull the strings before he could do anything to them.)

Deamon: ...Damn... Ahh.... Get away from me!

(Deamon tried as hard as he could to control his arms but he couldn't.)

Deamon: ...Kage! KAGE!!!

(Kage looked up.)

Deamon: Please... Cut the fucking strings!

("Mr. Kiko dropped Kage's strings again and pulled out what looked like a human muzzle.)

Deamon: Kage! You're free! Cut the strings!!! CUT THE FUCKING STRINGS!!

(It took Kage a second to register what he was saying and what was going on but she finally did and took her sword and cut the strings off of herself as "Mr. Kiko" tried to string her back up but she managed to dodge his hand and cut the strings off of Deamon, who slapped all of the little dolls off of him and looked up at the puppet master.)

Deamon: *Out of breath and in pain* You...

("Mr. Kiko" walked away from Deamon and Kage, but when Deamon turned around to thank Kage, she was gone. All of the creepy dolls and everything was gone, Deamon was alone. His wounds were still there, though and he was even more confused at the situation. He saw a light and ran towards it.)

Deamon: *To himself* I've gotta figure this shit out.... I should be dead with these wounds...

(Deamon kept running as he got closer to the light he could make out an altar, the light was a church. Deamon continued through the dark path and towards the church.)

Deamon: ...Jesus.

(Inside the church, on the wall behind the altar, Deamon saw a picture of Jesus. He started to get relieved a little....)

Deamon: *Out of breath* Man... I can get through this. I can get through this.

(Deamon stared at the picture of Jesus and noticed something crazy going on with the picture.)

Deamon: No.... Are you serious?

(From inside the picture a hand was sticking out and with each second, the creature's body came out of the picture but mirroring the picture was Deamon's own body as a body was starting to come out of his wounded heart.)

Deamon: *Frightened* .......

(The creature coming out of the picture revealed itself to be a replica of Deamon while the one coming out of Deamon was none other than Jesus himself.)

Deamon: *Shocked* Je.....Sus..... And me?.... *Cough* *Cough* *Cough*

(The picture on the wall turned into a Satanic version of Deamon with menacing red eyes glaring at him. Terrified, Deamon backed away from Jesus, who was reaching out for him and the replica of him that came out of the picture. As he backed away, he bumped into something.)

Kage: It's a thief in the night to come and grab you. It can creep up inside you and consume you. A disease of the mind, it can control you.

Deamon: Kage! *Cough* *Cough* ...Help...?

Kage: I. Feel. Like. A. Monster.

(Kage's face sucked in and her body began to mutate into a wrinkled monstrosity. She began to attempt to eat at Deamon's body but he held her off with a hard punch to her disgusting body. He decided to not to fight her and simply ran away, as he ran through the dark, empty path, he could hear a voice...)

Kage: The darkness is the light.... Better think twice before you fight.... Am I scaring you tonight?...

(Deamon kept hearing her voice telling him that as he ran through the darkness. He saw another light, in a panic, he ran towards it. This time he seemed to end up in a museum with paintings all over the wall.)

Deamon: ...*Out of breath* An art gallery?

(Deamon caught his breath for a minute and found a pack of cigarettes on the floor along with a match. He lit it and put it in his mouth to calm his shaken nerves....)

Deamon: *Shaking* ...Who is she...? Am I going insane?

(Deamon looked around at the paintings as he tried to calm down. He saw the paint start to melt from the paintings all over the wall but instead of just dripping down, the paint began to take human form, it was like the people in the paintings had come to life. Deamon threw his cigarette to the ground started running as the paintings started to reach out for him. Once again, Deamon bumped into Kage....)

Kage: Release me from this curse I'm in, trying to maintain but I'm struggling, if you can't.... I think I'm gonna... Ahh! Ahh! Ahh!!!

(Screaming, Kage grabbed Deamon but once she touched him, she began to melt all over his body. Not knowing what to do, Deamon wiped the melted Kage off of him and began to run again. As before, he was running through a dark path with nothing in front of him but a light. In the darkness, he could hear Kage's words once again...)

Kage: The darkness is the light.... Better think twice before you fight.... Am I scaring you tonight?...

(Deamon listened as her words repeated in his head over and over again. He stopped running towards the light and stood still.)

Deamon: *Out of breath* She's telling me something.... In a weird way, she's telling me not to go to the light.

(Deamon looked around and all he saw was darkness around him aside from the faint light.)

Deamon: ....There's nothing but darkness where I'm at. Which one is the right way? *Cough* *Cough*

(Deamon stopped thinking and just ran back towards where he came from. Through the darkness he no longer heard Kage's voice, it was total silence as he ran back through the darkness. The museum was nowhere to be found when Deamon reached the end of the path. In it's place was instead a blade....)

Deamon: A sword? *Cough*

(Deamon picked up the sword and looked at it. It was the same sword as Turgan's only this blade was completely black from the handle to the tip. Deamon looked at it some more when he heard someone...)

Kage: The darkness is the light....

Deamon: .... What does that mean? Argh...How did I get into this...?

(Deamon thought and then the worst came to his mind. He looked at his heart, the pierced hole was still there of course...)

Deamon: ...Ok.

(Deamon pulled the sword to his heart and stabbed....)

Deamon: Ahhh!!!!!!!!!!!

(He blacked out....)

(Deamon opened his eyes to find himself back in the Hoya Forest.... The nightmare world was gone.)

Deamon: ... *Cough* *Cough* *Cough* Man...

(Deamon felt his chest to see if the stab wound was still there. It wasn't. And Deamon stood up and looked around.)

Deamon: ...Kage?

(Deamon saw Kage on the ground, she was bleeding profusely and Deamon walked towards her and bent down.)

Kage: *Dying* .... Thank.... you...

Deamon: Who are you?

(Kage coughed up some blood.)

Deamon: ...Save your breath.

Kage: No... I.... The world you saw.... It is...the world in which... I have...lived.... for so long....

Deamon: Huh?

Kage: ...My insanity... was caused by a...disturbance... in my life.... My grandfather.... When he died.... I lost....reality...

Deamon: Your grandfather's death sent you over the edge?

Kage: ...Yes... He....was...an illusionist swordsman.... he taught me tricks of the mind.... which I used on you.... and which I used...on myself....

Deamon: What do you mean?

Kage: I created the disturbing world....as a means of coping....with my loss... As...a way to avoid dealing....with the world without my grandfather.... I thought it was helping me.... But....instead, it was killing me....

Deamon: So what I saw was what you see and feel?

Kage: ...*Coughs blood* Yes..... It was my world.... A world of terror and horror.... Taken....to the next level by....Hector. He dehumanized my world.... my mind.... through hypnosis.... and gave me a... self induced extreme state of Psychosis.

Deamon: *Cough* *Cough* So you really weren't insane?

Kage: That cough.... You....

Deamon: What? What about my cough!?

Kage: ...Heh. I cannot tell....

Deamon: Please. What is it? *Cough*

Kage: ...My world was....a prison, a cage....it enslaved me... and in the end was....the death of me.... though it was the only reason I lived through so many wounds.... I never felt the pain... I was always lost in my....world.... But now.... Now that I am free of that world.... I feel all of it.... now.

Deamon: So that's why you were unaffected by pain but why did you inflict those wounds on yourself and what was that puppet master?

Kage: ...*Laughs and coughs* The puppet master....was my grandfather.... He controlled me while...I was in that state... My memory of him....was so strong that...he psychologically controlled me....

Deamon: *Sigh* How did I see your world, then?

Kage: ... Your mind was so warped due to what had....happened that I was able to....easily deceive you with simple...illusions... You saw what you wanted to see....at first and then...I made you see...what I wanted you to see.... Your....name.... You.... are nothing....like it.... It is...painful... Thank you....

Deamon: *Sigh* Kage...

Kage: Do not develop sympathy for my situation now.... Just kill me and...free me...completely....

Turgan: I told you....not to be....fooled....by a magician's....parlor tricks..... Now kill me.... After you've delimbed me, do not develop sympathy for my situation. Just....kill me.


(Deamon remembered the strikingly similar phrase that Kage had said as one that Turgan had said ten years earlier....)

Deamon: Kage! *Coughs* Who was your grandfather?

Kage: His name was.... Ugh........

(Kage's throat was struck by a huge tomahawk. Her neck had been sliced in two.... Deamon looked to see who the killer was....)

Deamon: Hector!

(Hector was standing directly in front of the underground base's door. He had thrown the tomahawk at Kage.)

Hector: Like grandfather like granddaughter. Turgan the Terrible. The man you killed ten years earlier in this very forest. Korrina "Kage" Marlette was his granddaughter. He cared for her as he lived in this very forest while Remy watched over you. In a sense, you two were both very similar... It's almost eerie really. *Laughs*

Deamon: ...Like me?... *cough* Why did you kill her? She was gonna die anyway!?

Hector: Hmph. Exactly. What difference does it make if I killed her or if she died on her own? I mean... She was gonna die either way, right? I just made the process a lot quicker, a lot less painful. She was the leader of my Guardians after all, I needed to give her a proper death!

Deamon: ...You psychotic fuck!

Hector: *Laughs* Well. You've taken out all of the Guardians. Impressive. You've still got that killer instinct... I was afraid that living on Garaluga may have softened you up but you've proven me wrong. Here's a bottle of wine for the effort.

(Hector tossed Deamon a bottle of wine but Deamon rolled out of the way of the bottle, which exploded on impact after hitting the ground.)

Deamon: Bastard!

Hector: *Laughs* I suppose I'm all yours now. Catch me if you can!

(Hector ran inside the base and Deamon tailed after him. Hector ran down the long staircase as Deamon followed behind.)

Hector: Come on, Foxx!

(Hector ran through the long hallway but as he was running, Deamon realized something.)

Deamon: *To himself* Something's not right....

(Deamon stopped running and Hector stopped as well as he turned around to look at Deamon.)

Hector: You're smart. You're really smart. *Laughs*

(As Hector spoke, smoke filled the area of the hallway Deamon didn't run through.)

Deamon: You think I'm fucking stupid, Hector?

Hector: ...*Laughs hysterically* Not stupid. But deja vu's a bitch, isn't it?

Deamon: What?

(Deamon felt someone behind him and slowly turned around...)

Deamon: No.... Kali!

(Kali was standing behind Deamon with a rifle in her hand. She was aiming straight at Deamon in the same manner Yuki did with her bow, ten years earlier.)

Hector: You see, Foxx? You can't win. You're predictable. Everything you do is predictable. You're like a stupid child who wants a toy but can't have it. You'll go through every old trick in the book to get what you want but in the end, the parent always wins. This is the predicament you've lived in your entire life, Foxx. It's why you ended up on Garaluga for 10 years and why you're going to die here now.... You're stagnant. I've had fun with you but I've got a new toy to play with now. *Laughs* Take care of it, Kali.

Deamon: Kali, no! You couldn't have turned *Cough* *Cough* *Cough* *Cough* on me!? I saved your.... Ugh, fuck....

(Kali's rifle was one that fired electrically charged tranquilizing bullets. After a period of being shocked with several thousands worth of volts, Deamon fell to the ground.....)

(Deamon woke up in a dark area somewhere in the base. He was surrounded by complete darkness on every side, his hands were chained to a post on the wall.)

Deamon: *Coughs* Again.... Captured again. Fuck!! Fucking Kali! Every woman, I every trust! Shit!

(Deamon angrily pulled his arms to break the chain but it was no use so rather than waste is breath, Deamon simply sat on the ground and thought long and hard about his situation....)

Deamon: *Sigh* *To himself* There's nothing I can do... Kali... How could you? I was starting to believe in what you had said when I met you again on Garaluga... But I'd been had the entire time.

(Deamon sat on the ground for hours staring into the darkness, coughing his life away and thinking about what death was going to be like. He had no way out, this was going to be the place of his death.)

Deamon: Heh. *Cough* In a sick way, this is almost fitting.... Deamon Foxx dies cold and alone in a dark hole. *Laughs* Who was I to think that I could be a hero?... That I could do it?... Heh. Villains can't become heroes... Demons can't become angels....

(A few more hours passed as Deamon sat idly and watched as his life flashed in front of him. He thought about his early childhood in Garaluga with his mother and father and how they had cared for him... He thought about the day Remy used him as a shield to escape from the pool hustlers, he thought about his days of training in the forest by chopping at trees with only a machete and how he trained by running on the beach sands in leather boots every day... He remembered Yuki and the times that he shared with her and he remembered all of the events after that that happened leading up to his current situation.)

Deamon: *Sigh* In all my life.... I can't remember ever helping anyone without having an agenda on the side... Ever being a truly good guy....

(Deamon just sat there and let the time pass until he heard the sound of gunfire.)

Deamon: *Cough* *Cough* What was that?

(More gunfire could be heard as Deamon continued to listen in. The gunfire was getting louder as Deamon stood up to hear where it was coming from.)

Deamon: Who is that?!

(The gunfire got louder and Deamon could hear troops screaming out commands as they were being wiped out by some force...)

Patrolman 67: Eliminate him! He's going for the oil drums! Shoot on site, damn it!! Ahh!!!!!

(Deamon heard the troops fall to the ground above him and he began to hear more go down with each shot. After a few minutes, the gunfire had stopped and Deamon could hear someone walking above him, moving something, something big.)

Deamon: ...Who is that?....

(Deamon continued to look up and heard whoever it was above, the person spoke.)

???: Deamon... Get down.

Deamon: Ok...

(Deamon got on his knees and looked up, whoever it was above him started running and then Deamon heard gunfire....)

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!


(The entire ceiling where Deamon was at had been blown up. The debris and rubble landed all over Deamon but he didn't care. He looked up at the ceiling to see someone jump down, he couldn't tell who it was yet.)

???: Deamon. I'm...here.

(Deamon looked to see who it was.... Rydol.)

Deamon: Rydol!

(Rydol was standing in front of Deamon and destroyed his chains.)

Deamon: Rydol... What...?

Rydol: No...time...for talk.

(Deamon looked at Rydol's body. There was a strange piece of equipment around his chest where the gunshot had hit him.)

Deamon: Are you ok, Rydol?

Rydol: ...Just....come.... Follow.

(Deamon followed behind Rydol who had helped him out of the room through the ceiling. Enemy guards rushed into the hall and began firing at Rydol and Deamon.)

Patrolman 789: Fire at will!

Patrolman 340: Take those son of a bitches out!! The boss's orders!

(The patrolmen fired their rifles at Deamon and Rydol as they followed them through the building's interior.)

Deamon: *Out of breath* Rydol.... I...'m....tired.... Where are *Cough* we going?

Rydol: *Breathing heavily* ...Just...follow....me....

(Deamon did as he was told as the patrolmen continued their assault and began throwing explosives at the two running men. Eventually, Rydol reached a point where he had stopped even with the patrolmen firing at them. The area they were in was a barren warehouse with wooden boxes stored all over the place.)

Rydol: Deamon.... We have to...climb this boxes... to escape to the upper level...

(Deamon looked at the boxes and saw that they led up to another level and then he looked at Rydol who was holding the equipment piece on his chest but once he saw Deamon staring, he stopped and started climbing on the boxes. The guards of course began to follow suit as Rydol and Deamon climbed the boxes to find themselves on another floor of the underground base. Though out of breath, the two of them continued to run through the halls of the corridor of the floor they were on. As they continued to dodge gunfire, they reached a door. There was a lock on the door.... It required the input of 4 numbers.)

Rydol: *Out of breath* ....The lock's code..... What....could it....be....?

Deamon: *Out of breath* Rydol, *Cough* you don't know....the code!?

Rydol: ...No, I...didn't know it was a lock like this.....

(Deamon looked back at the incoming troops still firing.)

Deamon: Rydol... We're fucked if we can't get this code... *Cough*

Rydol: ...I...don't.... know it....Deamon.... Four numbers....

(Rydol slipped down to the ground and sat. Deamon stood in front of the code and started to think but he was working on short time, the troops were moving in fast.)

Deamon: *To himself* Four numbers... Four numbers.... I remember numbers... But where...? What was it?...

(Deamon started thinking back to each time he remembered numbers since he'd been fighting.... Until he got to thinking about Kage.)

Deamon: Kage! The basement numbers.... *Cough* *Cough*

(Deamon fell to his knees as his cough was starting to get the best of him, he started banging on his chest to relieve himself from the pain but it was no use. Rydol stood up and started trying to help Deamon up but Deamon's chest was so tight that he couldn't stand but he began to speak...)

Deamon: *Cough* *Cough* *Cough* Rydol.... 2....5....*Cough* 7 *Cough* *Cough* 8!!!!!

(Rydol moved the numbers into position and tried to unlock the lock. It didn't work.)

Rydol: ...Deamon! It didn't work....

Deamon: ...What!? *Cough* ...Fuck.... *Cough* Reverse *Cough* *Cough* them...

(The enemy patrolmen stormed at Rydol and Deamon and began to shoot directly at them as Rydol positioned the numbers as 8752 instead of 2578. He tried the lock and this time, it worked. He opened the door and then reset the numbers back to their original position 0000. As the gunmen continued to fire at them, Rydol dragged Deamon through the door and slammed it shut as a bullet pierced Rydol's arm.)

Rydol: Ahh!!! Deamon.... My pack. On my chest. Open it.

(Deamon struggled to move but managed to open the equipment box on Rydol's chest.)

Rydol: Now...you...see... those...needle nose pliers? Ahh..... Get the bullet out...Ahh....of my....shit, arm.

(Deamon grabbed the pliers and ripped the bullet out of his arm. Rydol yelped in pain but he would be alright. The two of them stood up on their own two feet, both out of breath and in pain, they stared out at the area they were in. It was a laboratory.)

Deamon: Rydol.... How did you escape? What happened? And Kali?

Rydol: ...I was tortured... They locked me in this laboratory and worked on my chest wound. They plugged this device to me to keep my body in stable condition.... I escaped by knocking out a scientist during a test sequence in which they were going to put my skin through an acid vat as a means of making new...armor suits based on the human body's ability to adapt to temperature....

Deamon: ...Insane. *Cough* But what about Kali?! She's the reason I was captured...

Rydol: That... I do not know...

Deamon: Have you seen the October Moon?

Rydol: No... I came here to escape from the guards. Deamon. This area is empty, there's a long stairwell at the end of the hall to the right down to another area.... We must go there....

Deamon: ...I can't believe Kali...

(The two of them walked through the deserted lab area and to the right down that hallway and reached the stairwell and started on their way down.)

(Deamon and Rydol walked down 5 flights of stairs to reach another basement level. They walked through a door to find what appeared to be the weapons storage area. The room was heavily guarded so both of them crawled into the room very carefully and very slowly.)

Rydol: This area.... We can....stock ourselves....with....weapons here...

Deamon: Rydol. Are you sure you're going to be ok?

Rydol: I'll be....fine.

Deamon: Alright. I'm trusting your judgment.

Rydol: I know my...body...better than anyone....

(The two of them crawled through and looked at all of the guards in the area, they were patrolling on preassigned routes.)

Deamon: Rydol. We'll split up, that way the guards will have to focus their attention on the two of us in separate areas rather than both of us in one area.

Rydol: Which side...will you...take...

Deamon: I'll take the path to right. You can take the one towards the left. Get a weapon and if necessary, fire.

(Rydol crawled off to the left and sneaked towards one of the wooden boxes that held rifles. He lifted one of the rifles out of the box and placed some gun metal ammunition in it. Deamon on the other hand had went to the left side of the room and looked inside one of the wooden boxes, this box had armor in it. Deamon pulled out the armor suit and crawled through the entrance and entered the stairwell. He put the armor suit on and crawled back out. Rydol was still loading up his weapon when....)

Patrolman 903: INTRUDER! Fire!

(Rydol had been spotted, he began firing at the patrolmen who started throwing explosives at him. Deamon ran to Rydol's aid and picked out his own rifle in the box. He quickly loaded it with gun metal and began firing at the enemy patrolmen but the two of them alone were being outnumbered.)

Deamon: Rydol! *Cough* We can't take them all on!

Patrolman 779: Lock the doors!

(Patrolmen jumped from the area hanging above and ran towards the door to lock it. Deamon started firing at those who were running towards the door while Rydol continued to shoot at the enemies who were shooting them from above.)

Rydol: Deamon! Don't let...them...get the door....

(Deamon continued to cut through the enemies trying to lock the door and grabbed Rydol's arm.)

Deamon: We have to go through now!

(Deamon and Rydol ran through the door and entered another area filled with troops. They fired at the troops in that and continued to run for the exit door but when they reached it. It had already been locked.... More troops poured in as Deamon and Rydol each took sides opposite each other and started firing at the incoming soldiers. They were doing well until more troops started coming in and they were starting to get low on ammunition...)

Deamon: Rydol! I'm low!

Rydol: ... Same here.

(The two of them continued to fire until their gun metal had finally dried out and they were out of ammo. They ducked behind some crates near them as the enemy continued to fire at them and seeing that they were now taking cover, they stormed through even harder.)

Deamon: Fuck! Do you see any *Cough* *Cough* *Cough* exits!?

(Rydol looked around but the only one he saw was the door that was locked. He turned to Deamon and shook his head negatively.)

Deamon: Damn it....

Rydol: ....I won't....wait to die....

Deamon: Rydol! Don't be crazy!

(Rydol stood up and was beginning to run into the incoming troops but Deamon grabbed his leg and tripped him before he could run out.)

Deamon: That's stupid!

(As the troops continued to swarm them and any hope for victory seemed to be fleeting, the exit door was opening...)

Rydol: ....It's...opening?

(The door opened and more troops rushed in through that door.)

Deamon: ...We're *Cough* *Cough* finished...

(But the troops didn't fire at Deamon or Rydol, they were shooting at the soldiers trying to kill Deamon and Rydol.)

Deamon: ...What's going on? Rydol, do you know what they're doing?

(Rydol shook his head negatively as one soldier bent down and began to speak to both of them.)

Patrolman 380: Through the door. Go. We're taking care of it.

Deamon: Who are you?

Patrolman 380: A friend of a free world. Take these.

(The patrolman handed both Deamon and Rydol a rifle.)

Deamon: ...Thanks. Rydol, lets go.

(The two of them left the area as the gunfire got louder and louder. They entered another long hallway and ran through it to find yet another door.)

Deamon: You really wanna go through it? *Laughs*

Rydol: *Laughs* ...Got us out of a jam. Good guys they were...

Deamon: ...It makes me more nervous of a setup.

Rydol: We have to do it, Deamon.....

Deamon: *Cough* *Cough* I can't take much more of this...

(Deamon opened the door and they went through. The area was large and open as well as empty. There were 4 huge garage doors on each side and another exit door to the north.)

Deamon: ...Empty. You think those guys who helped us were in here?

Rydol: Possibly. Take a breather, Deamon....

(Deamon breathed out a sigh of relief as they reached the midway point to the exit. But just as soon as they started to relax, the four huge garage doors were opening up.)

Rydol: ...Oh boy...

(Four large tanks burst through the garage doors and began firing at Deamon and Rydol. They were sandwiched....)

Rydol: ...Deamon... These are tanks... We can't take them out with just these weapons....

Deamon: Shit.

(In spite of what Rydol said, Deamon started firing at the tanks but it did no good and the tanks kept moving forward.)

Deamon: Damn it, Rydol... What *Cough* can we do?

(The tanks were getting closer as Deamon and Rydol figured out what to do about them...)

Rydol: ...We get out of one fire and get thrown right...into another one...

(The tanks were closing the gap but as they got in closer, a rope fell from the ceiling.)

Deamon: We must be miracle men or something... This is uncanny, Rydol climb up first.

(Rydol climbed up the rope and headed towards the ceiling and went through the hole in the ceiling from which the rope came. Deamon followed behind him but as he went up, the ceiling hole was closed up.)

Deamon: The hell!?

(Deamon looked at the tanks and saw that if he went down, he'd be crushed but he couldn't go up either. To make things worse, the tank drivers had came up from the inside of the tank and began firing at Deamon. With this revelation, Deamon had one choice, to fight back. Deamon started firing at the soldiers who were shooting from inside the tank but his aim was off. He wasn't used to firing the rifle with one hand and to top that off, his grip was starting to slip. He needed to work fast.)

Tank Patrol 3: Get down here, Foxx!

(The tank patrolmen continued to fire at Deamon who was a sitting duck for the most part though his armor suit held off many of the bullets but the amount of damage the suit could sustain was dropping. But Deamon tried to fix his aim and fired as best as he could at the tank patrolmen. He managed to take out the one coming in from the east garage and the one coming from the west garage, the two tanks collided into each other creating a massive explosion, which killed the other tank patrolmen as well.)

Deamon: *Cough* *Cough* *Cough* Oh.... *Cough* shit!

(The fire from the explosion had set the rope Deamon was hanging from on fire, to make the situation worse, Deamon's grip was slipping and he still had no way to get through the ceiling tile that was moved to allow Rydol in. But Deamon held on for as long as he could, he shot through the tile and put several bullet holes into the tile. Out of breath and physically drained, Deamon climbed up to the top of the rope as the fire was getting closer to him. He dropped his rifle into the fire and punched threw the ceiling, repeatedly.)

Deamon: *Cough* *Cough* Break...damn it!

(Deamon continued to punch through and as the fire was beginning to touch his feet, he was able to break through the tile and opened up a hole for himself to go through. He climbed up just in the nick of time as the rope burned completely. The room he had climbed into was empty, no sign of Rydol or anyone.)

Deamon: ...Where is he?

(Deamon walked through the room, it looked like another lab. And this one was also deserted... Deamon walked through and entered another stairwell. He walked down at least 50 flights of stairs before finding a door.)

Deamon: *Out of breath* What...next...?

(Deamon opened the door and entered a huge laboratory area... An extremely bright light lit up the room. Deamon covered his eyes as he entered. He looked to see where the light was coming from and saw it, The October Moon...)

(The October Moon shined brightly throughout the lab. As Deamon walked through, he saw Hector, alone.)

Hector: Foxx! You made it.

Deamon: Hector... You were waiting for me?

Hector: *Laughs* Sure, Foxx. I was waiting for you. So, how do you like it?

(Hector pointed at the October Moon.)

Deamon: ...

Hector: I couldn't have done it without you, Deamon. You killed Remy and gave me the opportunity to create what you see in front of you. In a strange way, I'm almost indebted to you. You hold just as much responsibility for creating this world as I do.

Deamon: Don't try to tell me that! The world you've created is disgusting, it's greed-ridden, it's a world full of sinners.... All of them like you.

Hector: And you're some kind of saint? Ha! Remember all of the killing you've done? You may think you're some kind of hero but you're nothing more than a murderer, only this time, you're murdering on your own accord not for Remy.

Deamon: .... *Sigh* Death is a part of life.... *Cough* *Cough* *Cough*

Hector: That cough is getting worse, isn't it? *Laughs* But I'm glad you said death is a part of life, a part of life that you understand very well. This is why I don't understand what you're doing now. Trying to make me out to be a villain! The nerve!

Deamon: You are a villain. You're a killer... Just like me. You've taken people's lives and ripped them to shreds for your own selfish reasons... For your own selfish survival. You're no different from me.

Hector: *Laughs* Maybe we were brothers in another life? No? *Laughs* Bah. But as I told you before, you're boring Foxx. You're stale, I'm tired of dealing with you.

Deamon: I put a little dent in those plans of yours with the death of all your Guardians. Now you're all that's left.

Hector: Not at all Foxx.

Deamon: What?

Hector: You see... *Laughs* I didn't exactly tell you the truth back during our meeting on Mt. Othella. I merely said that I was going to use the Guardians as a means of holding off the soldiers of the 5 Great Kingdoms but I worded it in a way to make you think that I was talking about the actual Guardians that you were killing but.... That wasn't the case. Heh, heh.

Deamon: What are you *Cough* *Cough* talking *Cough* about?

Hector: The Guardians that I was talking about were 5 prototype nuclear bombs. They're test name is Guardian because that's what they're going to do for me. They're going to guard me. Far better than those living wastes that you killed in battle.

Deamon: But you said there were only 3 bombs left! And that one of them left or something!?

Hector: Yes. And that was true. You see, I used one of the bombs to wipe out the Generation October base. And the other bomb did ride alone. One of the bombs was located on an AWOL soldier of my military. Needless to say, we retrieved that bomb. With four of the original prototypes back in my possession as well as the new one I had created while you were out fighting human Guardians, I now have the 5 prototypes needed to start my revolution!

Deamon: ....Hector. You...

Hector: Did you really think that I was going to trust 4 or 5 human beings to protect me and my power? Ha! I know the history of the October Moon, I know the history of the Guardians, once I saw that you were back on the scene, I used them to be divert your attention from me. Select Elimination at it's finest, don't you think?

Deamon: You duped them all....

Hector: Of course. Hook, line and sinker. They took the bait as well as you.

Deamon: ...Where are the bombs!?

Hector: Hmm.... I don't remember. *Laughs* Sorry.

Deamon: Hector! You're going to cause the end of the world!

Hector: Ha! That's the point! To cause the end of this enslaved world! And create a new one, in my own image with my own ideals! Foxx, you're a symbol of the old world, you're a symbol of the old guard. *Laughs* Take it.

(Hector pulled out a sword and threw it at Deamon, who caught it. At the same time, Hector pulled out his axe.)

Hector: Still got it with the sword, Foxx? *Laughs* Prove it!

(Hector and Deamon both slashed at each other with their respective weapons, the two weapons connected with each other as the two fighters entered a power struggle with Hector gaining the early upper hand with his overall strength, thus allowing him to nick Deamon's arm.)

(After that hit, Deamon backed away from Hector who countered with a devastating charge knocking Deamon to the ground as Hector started to hack away at Deamon's armor suit, which was taking most of the damage from Hector's slashes.)

(With Hector still on top of him, Deamon repeatedly kneed Hector's rear end and started punching him in the face once Hector's hold on him started to get loose. Deamon took a few thrusts at Hector with his blade and connected leaving Hector grabbing at his stomach in pain.)

(Deamon took advantage of the opening Hector had left him and gave him a huge slash on his back and then one more on the chest before giving Hector a huge uppercut that sent him to the ground. Deamon relentlessly went after Hector on the ground and started delivering kicks to his face and stabbing him in the legs with his sword.)

(Though wounded and in pain, Hector gripped Deamon's throat and held it with a strangling grip as Deamon continued to now stab at Hector's chest. Hector's grip was loosened with each stab and Deamon broke free of it with a hard slash at Hector's arm.)

(Hector pulled himself together and while still in excruciating pain, he managed to grab his axe from the ground and delivered a massive upward slash into Deamon's chest before falling to the ground from the pain at the same moment as Deamon.)

(The two fighters were both on the ground and hurting from the pain, Deamon's coughing was starting to get the best of him once again and Hector's body was wounded badly...)

Deamon: Hector.... *Cough* *Cough* *Cough* *Cough* *Cough* End...this...

Hector: *In pain* Foxx! I'll.... This isn't over...yet.

(Hector struggled but still managed to stand on his own two feet as Deamon laid on the ground coughing up blood in each breath. Hector walked towards Deamon with his axe in hand and held it high above his head...)

Hector: To Hell... With the old world!!

(But as Hector started to bring down his axe to deliver the finishing blow... 5 explosives appeared at his feet.)

Hector: You...bitch!

(Before Hector could kick the explosives from his feet. They exploded and sent him into the air. Deamon looked to see what happened to Hector and saw Kali and Rydol walking towards him.)

Deamon: Kali!?... *Cough* *Cough* Rydol!

Kali: Deamon... I'm so sorry...

Deamon: ...What happened..? Tell me.

Kali: I needed to deceive you for the greater cause.... I didn't mean to hurt you... Please, understand.

Deamon: I do. But what greater cause?

(Rydol helped Deamon to his feet as he and Kali began to speak.)

Kali: The troops, I've recruited about half of them to our cause. I needed to pretend that I was on Hector's side so I could recruit members from his army to ours.

Rydol: The troops that helped us out were a part of those she recruited.

Deamon: ...Were you in on *Cough* *Cough* Damn it... *Cough* it Rydol?

Rydol: No. Kali was the one who threw the rope for us.

Kali: We would've met earlier but Hector as well as his scientists were moving the nuclear bombs to their launch location, we couldn't stay or we would've been spotted.

Deamon: Where?! Where are the *Cough* bombs!? And Hector!

(Deamon ran towards where he saw Hector land after the explosion.)

Deamon: Shit! He's not here...

(Kali and Rydol followed behind him.)

Kali: Oh boy....

Deamon: What...?

Rydol: It's not...over...yet.

Deamon: Where...are the bombs?...

Kali: The Locke. They're stored on The Locke, our flying ship.

Deamon: The Locke? Where is it?

Rydol: In the next....room.... the....ship...launchpad.

Kali: Deamon, we have to go now!

(The three of them ran through the lab where the October Moon was located and into another room, as Rydol had said, it was the launchpad for ships. Inside they saw the Locke but it was connected to Hector's old ship making for one huge flying warship. The three of them ran towards it and climbed the ladder to get on the side that was the Locke. On deck, there were troops shooting at the others on the America (Hector's ship).)

Deamon: What is this? *Cough* *Cough* These are...your troops *Cough* Kali?

Kali: Yes. These are the troops that I've recruited. They're fighting with us and for all of us, Foxx! We can't let them down!

(From inside the Locke, came Zeno approaching Kali.)

Zeno: Deamon! You made it!

Deamon: Yeah... Glad to see you're ok.

Zeno: Yeah. Same to you. Kali, this ship only moves if someone controls each ship.... We can't get out of here unless one of us pilots the ship along with the other pilot on the other ship. To top that off, once the ship is started, it goes straight to autopilot which can't be turned off unless someone can hack the system....

Kali: You can't hack it now, Zeno?

Zeno: No... Plus, we have no other way to get out of here.... Every door inside the base was just locked off from my cousin's orders...

Deamon: Where is he?

Hector: Right here, Foxx.

(Standing right behind Deamon was Hector.)

Deamon: You...

Hector: You should have killed me when you had the chance! *Laughs* But I'm glad you didn't... It just makes it that much more interesting....

Kali: Enough of this, Hector!

Hector: Double-crossing bitch. Ha, ha! But you couldn't have possibly thought that I trusted you, right?

Rydol: This....was....your...plan the...entire time...

Hector: Not exactly. Don't give me that much credit, I was trying to kill Foxx back there for real but I did expect something like what occurred in the lab to happen so I prepared for it!!

(Deamon didn't say any more and took a swing at Hector but he missed because Hector ducked out of the way.)

Hector: *Laughs* Glad you have that in mind, Foxx. You did a bit of a number on me back there... You never disappoint! But I'd like to bring your attention to the connection between these two ships.

(Hector pointed to the middle of both ships.)

Hector: The Sky Cage!

(In between the two ships connecting them to each other was a small dome-like area large enough for two humans to step into and move around in.)

Deamon: *Cough* What is...that?

Hector: The place where one of us will die.... We end this... there!

Kali: No. Deamon, don't go in there...

Hector: *Laughs* There are no traps, our battles are always interrupted by some force, in that cage, no one will interrupt us! Now Zeno, you have no other choice, go start the Locke up. Ha, ha! You see I'm gonna make sure that everyone on this ship has a hand in starting my war with the 5 Great Kingdoms!

Zeno: ....I have to start the ship, Kali. We have no other way out....

Hector: That's right... Once we reach our first destination, Ferdinand. One of the ships will automatically release one of the prototypes! But I'm not gonna tell you which one, I'm gonna keep the surprise of who is responsible for destroying millions of lives a secret.... *Laughs*

Kali: You've lost it!

Hector: No, Kali! I'm about to win it! Foxx!

(Hector walked off and entered the Sky Cage as it hung below between the two ships....)

Deamon: Guys, I have to do this.... You guys do your part. I have to finish this with him.

Kali: At the rate that these ships will travel, we have around 1 hour before we reach the kingdom of Ferdinand.... Deamon. I don't want you to go in there but I know I can't stop you...

Rydol: ...Be...careful...

Deamon: Yeah. Do whatever you can to prevent this... *Cough* *Cough* *Cough* *Cough*

(Deamon's cough started to take over once again and he began to beat on his chest. Kali and Rydol tried to help him up as he fell to his knees.)

Kali: ... Come on, Deamon! ....You can't do this...

(Deamon got back on his feet, he was out of breath and wheezing...)

Deamon: *Wheezing* Don't tell me...what I can't do.... Just...get....to it....

(Zeno went inside the ship and started it up as Kali and Rydol stayed on the deck and began firing at the soldiers on America.)

(Deamon climbed down and entered the Sky Cage where Hector was waiting....)

(Deamon stepped into the Sky Cage where Hector waited. The dome was made of steel and was only large enough for Deamon and Hector to fit and no one else....)



Hector: Foxx.... This is it! Two men. Two dreams... One fate.

(Deamon pulled out his blade.)

Hector: Leave the blade. We owe each other a hand to hand duel, remember? *Laughs*

(Deamon threw the sword out of the Sky Cage. Hector tossed his axe outside as well. The two men got into their fighting stances.)

Deamon: Ten years.

Hector: There's only one way to settle this.

(The Sky Cage started to move and they both knew that the ship had finally taken off. One hour until they reached Ferdinand, the closest of the 5 Kingdoms.)

Hector: For freedom!

(The two fighters circled each other for a few moments before Hector made the first move by knocking Deamon's hand down and then delivering a vicious punch to the face. Deamon grabbed his nose in pain as Hector followed up with a more thunderous punches to Deamon's mid section. Deamon countered by grabbing Hector's arms and slamming his head into the steel wall.)

(Deamon continued to bash Hector's head in as hard as he could with no sign of slowing down but Hector elbowed Deamon in the stomach to force him to let go of his head. Hector held his head in pain but as Deamon started to punch him, he kicked him in the ribs as a counter.)

(The ship was picking up speed as Hector and Deamon both got to their feet. The Sky Cage was beginning to rock uncontrollably but it didn't stop the two warriors from fighting their bloody battle. The rocking of the ship was causing them to lose their balance but both went after the other on their knees with Deamon slamming Hector's head into the floor to gain some momentum for himself.)

(Hector struggled to get Deamon off of him as his head continued to be bashed into the floor but he managed to use his strength and size to push Deamon off of him. Hector took a moment to shake his head and regain his composure but the pain wasn't going away and Deamon took advantage of this by kneeing Hector's forehead.)

(The knee to the forehead sent Hector back on his back and Deamon stomped his face into the floor as Hector was beginning to black out and lose consciousness from the ferocity of the blows. Deamon stopped stomping Hector's face in and just started punching his face in with a flurry of hard right hands. The Sky Cage made a sharp right turn which slammed both Deamon and Hector into the wall.)

(The slam threw Deamon's back out and he screamed in pain. Hector was still out cold from Deamon's vicious attacks but with every moment, he started regaining consciousness while Deamon was still on the ground moaning in pain. Hector slowly got up and held his head in pain, he looked at Deamon who was still on the ground and got on his knees to start punching Deamon in the stomach repeatedly.)

(Deamon's back was still out as Hector continued his assault on his mid section. After delivering enough blows to Deamon's stomach to start making him spit up blood, Hector lifted him on his shoulders and ran into the wall slamming Deamon's back as hard as he could. He continued doing this until the ship made another sharp turn, this time it was a 360 degree turn. The turn caused Hector to fall thus dropping Deamon hard on his back.)

(But this hard fall actually had a positive effect on Deamon, his back had cracked in the right place, allowing him to move on his own again. Deamon slowly got up, though and tried to maintain balance as the ship started making erratic movements. Hector had also gotten up but he too was wobbling from side to side with the ship's movements...)

(The two men were both bloody, tired and in extreme pain. Neither had much left to give but they continued to fight, each punch making them more tired than the other. They were killing each other with their bare hands, in the slowest most painful way. Deamon grabbed Hector by the waist and flipped him over onto his back, leaving both of them on their backs once again. Both tired, neither got up quickly....)

Hector: *Out of breath* Foxx.... I....

Deamon: *Out of breath* This...end...s... here....

(Deamon struggled to get to his feet as well along with Hector but both were sent back into the wall with another sharp turn of the ship. Both men were posted on the wall, in agonizing pain.... Hector was a little quicker with his arms and grabbed Deamon's hair and started bashing his head in. Deamon was starting to see black flashes with each bash to his head. His coughing problem also kicked in at this moment and he began to cough uncontrollably.)

(Hector took advantage of Deamon while the cough bug had hit him and he started punching Deamon directly in the chest to make the tightening in Deamon's chest even more painful. Deamon was vomitting all over himself as Hector continued to rip into his chest with his fists. Hector then followed up his chest punches with some quick though stinging shots to Deamon's jaw.)

(Hector's punches were like getting hit with stones. Deamon was in so much pain and so tired that he could barely lift his arm but with every ounce of strength he had, he grabbed Hector's wrist and twisted it with so much force that Hector's wrist snapped. Hector fell in pain and grabbed at his broken right wrist. Deamon sat there and simply tried to catch his breath while he watched Hector screaming on the ground.)

(After a few moments of rest, Deamon managed to stand up but once he did, he and Hector both were sent into the air. The Sky Cage had flipped over once due to a hard gust of wind outside combined with the speed of the ship. Both Deamon and Hector were once again on the ground with Hector on his back and Deamon on his stomach.)

(The two of them simply laid there for a good 3-4 minutes without moving. They were both beaten... But again, neither was going to give up. At the same time, both managed to get up slowly, but the two of them had wobbly knees and were shifting from side to side as they stood there, looking at each other.)

(Hector lunged at Deamon to grab him but as he went in, Deamon quickly grabbed him by his waist and lifted him up. Deamon couldn't hold Hector up for long in his current beaten down state and as he held him, Deamon's back started to give out on him and it started to curve back and feeling the weight, Deamon moved back which slammed the top of Hector's head into the wall. A nasty, cracking sound was heard at that very moment. Hector's neck was broken.)

(Deamon laid flat on the ground while Hector yelled out in pain.)

Hector: I can't move! I can't move! My body.....

Deamon: *Cough* *Cough* Hector....

(Deamon slowly got to his feet and walked to Hector.)

Deamon: It's over.... You're finished... *Cough* *Cough* *Cough*

(Deamon's cough got the best of him once again and he fell to one knee.)

Hector: .... Fo...xx....

(Deamon kept coughing, he didn't respond.)

Hector: Fo...xx.... You.... you....

(Deamon stopped coughing and looked at Hector.)

Hector: Ha, ha, ha....

Deamon: What's....so....funny?

Hector: My....dream...will be realized....

Deamon: What!?

Hector: Only 3 minutes.... till.... we reach... Ferdinand.... I may not live to see it.... but *Laughs* nuclear technology will be a reality... Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha... ...And Justice for All.

(With that statement, Hector died. With only 3 minutes before the prototype nuke was launched at Ferdinand, Deamon worked as fast as he could in his beaten state to get out of the Sky Cage and up to the ship to see what was going on, on deck. Deamon kicked out the door and dragged Hector's body, he dropped Hector's dead body into the ocean below and climbed through to the deck of the Locke.)

Rydol: Deamon!

(Rydol had seen Deamon and approached him.)

Deamon: Rydol, what's going on?!

Rydol: The troops on Hector's ship have all been eliminated, Zeno and Kali are working in each ship to try and stop them from allowing the nuclear weapon to go off.

Deamon: Is there anything we can do!?

Rydol: With only a minute left....No.

Deamon: So we can only wait.

Rydol: You did your job.... They have to do theirs.

(As the clocked ticked forward, Kali worked inside of The America while Zeno worked in The Locke. Both were trying to shut off the systems to stop the nuclear weapon... But as the clock ticked forward, Zeno delivered a grim message to Kali through the ship's intercom.)

Zeno: The nuclear launch will not occur.

Deamon: What?... *Cough*

Zeno: Everyone on the Locke, however, must get off the ship and get on the America as quickly as you can! As quickly as you can!!!

(Deamon and Rydol looked at each other but did as they were told and made it to the America. Along with other troops, they heard the rest of Zeno's message.)

Zeno: My...cousin... Hector.. He lied... The prototype was designed not to strike Ferdinand.... but it was designed to blow up the Locke....

Deamon: Zeno's still on there!!

Zeno: ...I figured it out... a few moments ago. I will go down with this ship.... If you have not gotten out.... Please.... you have 10 seconds....

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

(The Locke blew up as Zeno had said... It brought down the Locke and destroyed the connection to the America, freeing the ship. Deamon and Rydol rushed down to the pilot section to see Kali, crying.)

Deamon: Kali....

Kali: *Crying* We....were...fooled...the entire...time. Zeno didn't deserve that...

(Deamon put his hand on Kali's shoulder.)

Deamon: Even now... More than ever... We have to continue the fight... Zeno is a martyr now. He died for us... All of us. He's a hero and should only be remembered as such. Don't beat yourself down... Please.

Kali: *Crying* Deamon.... You've lived.

(Kali stopped crying and turned to Deamon.)

Kali: You did it....

Deamon: No. We did it. All of us... But it's still not over.

Kali: ...

(The autopilot feature of the ship had automatically turned off once the bomb exploded, Kali turned the ship back and flew it to the forest....)

(Kali let the 3 surviving troops off at Narobia before heading to the forest. The 3 soldiers were sworn to never tell about what they saw before they were let off the ship. Kali then steered the ship towards the forest and landed inside of the warship launchpad. The three of them got out of the ship and headed into the lab holding the October Moon.)

Rydol: What are we to do with this thing...?

Kali: This place is deserted... Nothing is gonna get through here with the secured locks... Getting through the forest floor is hard enough.

Deamon: We can't destroy it... *Cough* If we were to... It'd send the world into a panic... But leaving it here, unprotected, unguarded... It's almost insane.

Rydol: So what do we do? And those bombs...

Kali: And the war...

Deamon: 5 bombs, 5 kingdoms, 5 Guardians.... Rydol. Who are you?

Rydol: What? What do you mean?

Deamon: *Cough* *Cough* You were a Guardian weren't you?

Rydol: .... Yes.

Kali: What?

Rydol: You knew the whole time, didn't you Deamon? You asked me when we first met, if my name suited me.

Deamon: No, I didn't know the entire time. Only when Hector told me about the 5 Guardians and said that one decided to "ride alone." And then when you said that you and I were alike and that we both had unfortunate pasts and that we both wanted the same thing. I put two and two together and it seemed to fit...

Kali: I don't get it, what?

Deamon: Say "Rydol Lone" five times fast.

Kali: Rydol Lone, Rydol Lone, Rydol Lone, Rydol Lone, Ride Alone. Oh....

Deamon: Yeah. I caught it when you first said the name. I thought it was maybe just some play on words but it turned out to mean a lot more.

Rydol: Exactly. I was the 5th Guardian. The Loner. I left the Guardians because I didn't agree with Select Elimination.

Deamon: You didn't agree with it?

Rydol: No. But little did I know, I was a walking nuclear weapon. Before I left the Guardians, Hector had me "tested" to make sure that I didn't say anything about the Guardians. What I didn't know was that he had actually implanted a small nuclear bomb inside of me...

Deamon: So you knew about nuclear weapons before we found out about it?

Rydol: No. I didn't find out about the nuclear weapon until my capture. Us Guardians were simply told who to kill and how to do it, we were never filled in on any of Hector's plans or anything.

Kali: Wow... That's crazy. I would've never guessed it....

Deamon: *Laughs* ....Yeah. But either way, Rydol's a good guy. Young and strong... I think I'm finished fighting. It's time for the next generation to keep everything in order.... We need someone that we can trust to guard us, to guard the world from the horrors of technology... Kali and Rydol, its up to you guys to stop this war through word of mouth... And...

(Deamon started coughing like crazy. He fell to his knees but Kali and Rydol lifted him up.)

Deamon: *Wheezing* ...Thanks. I wish... *Cough* I knew what....

Kali: Deamon.

(Kali's expression changed to seriousness.)

Deamon: What?.... Tell me.

Kali: Deamon...Your cough. It's caused by...

Deamon: By what? Tell me!

Kali: You have lung cancer...

Deamon: Lung cancer?!

Kali: You were diagnosed with.... Small Cell Lung Cancer when we treated you for injuries.... You are currently in the Extensive Stage.... Meaning the cancer has spread from your lungs to your body....

Deamon: ..... *Sigh* ...Why didn't you tell me...?

Kali: ..I thought it would demoralize you. I thought you'd lose your will to live... If I had told you, we may not have been victorious....

Deamon:...*Sigh*... How...long do I have to live?

Kali: At that stage... Your prognosis is no more than 4 or 5 months....

(Deamon walked towards the October Moon and looked at it.)

Deamon: How did I get it?...

Kali: A combination of smoking... And the Radon gas rises naturally in Garaluga.... Deamon, I'm so sorry... Just...

Deamon: Forget it.... *Sigh* I need to get out of here.

(Deamon walked out of the room and boarded the America. Kali and Rydol followed behind him....)

(Kali started the ship while Deamon sat in the back, alone. Kali piloted the ship towards Narobia and landed... When Kali and Rydol checked on Deamon, he was not on board the ship....)

(It was nighttime, Deamon was sitting outside someone's window, watching their moves. He was in a very rich neighborhood but it was not secured, he watched the person's every movement. Stalking them like a nighthawk, it was Yuki. She had her twins and was in her room caring for them.)

Deamon: *To himself* Next generation.... The youth. They have to protect us.... Someone we can trust. Yuki is no good as a person... Those kids don't deserve a mother like that....

(Deamon continued to watch Yuki's movements and then her husband, Carl came in the room.)

Deamon: *To himself* This guy...

(Carl had grabbed the male twin and started to cuddle it. The baby started to laugh. Yuki and Carl both started laughing at the baby. The female twin in Yuki's hand was sleeping and she got up to put her in the crib...)

(As Deamon watched his feelings softened and he remembered how Remy had taken him from his parents 25 years ago...)

Deamon: *To himself* ...I can't do it... to those kids.... It'd be no different than what happened to me. Children shouldn't be raised to fight battles that they don't understand.... How could I even think of that...?

(Deamon left Jace and headed back to a familiar place. He thought about his situation as he sat down...)

Deamon: *Sigh* In all my life.... I can't remember ever helping anyone without having an agenda on the side... Ever being a truly good guy....

Deamon: *To himself* You've never done anything to help anyone without having an agenda.... Yeah....

(A door opened around Deamon and he turned to see who it was....Kali and Rydol.)

Kali: ...We thought you'd be here.

Deamon: You guessed right.

Rydol: We looked for you for 3 days... No sign of you.

Deamon: But you found me so... What's up? *Cough* *Cough*

Kali: Deamon.... What are you doing?

Deamon: Has the world learned about Hector?

Kali: No.

Deamon: Martyr him.

Rydol: What?

Deamon: Hector was the champion of the world... Make his death look like a hero's death.

Kali: But why? I don't understand.

Deamon: People need their heroes... When heroes become villains, the world loses it's faith. You can't allow that to happen, not with the world the way it is....

Kali: But Deamon... You're the hero. You saved us all!

Deamon: Ha. Even if that's true, I'll never be able to walk on the outside world among the people... I've killed so many, so many have hatred for me. This doesn't change it. It just confuses them. They start to question life. It would be like another death... I would be causing another death. An emotional one... I have enough death on my *Cough* conscious.

Kali: Deamon, what are you trying to say...?

Deamon: The October Moon needs a Guardian. Remy said it himself, there must always be a Guardian. The stone can never be held in idle hands otherwise chaos will ensue.

Kali: You're not serious...

Deamon: I'm staying here... I'm going to stay with the stone. I need you guys though to fulfill a promise for me.

Rydol: What?

Deamon: Promise me that you'll still protect them.... The way you all protected me when I was in trouble. Please, give them that same hope. And allow them to be free of their sins... War is Hell.

Kali: *Crying* But Deamon.... you.... you did everything for us. You saved everyone... You stopped the end of the world...

Deamon: I paid a debt. That's all. Me and the world are even now. I don't have that long to live anyway... *Cough* Don't cry for me. Cry for them... Cry because there's hope. Make them tears of joy... Not tears of sadness.... And as my final request. Burn the Hoya Forest to the ground. Incinerate it, completely.... And never let it grow back. The souls that died here... Need to stay here, forever....

Kali: *Crying* Thank you Deamon... The world will never know what you did for it...

(Kali continued to cry as her and Rydol walked out of the lab and boarded the ship... They launched up and following Deamon's wishes, they incinerated the Hoya Forest just as it had been 10 years ago.)

(In the following days, Kali and Rydol covered up Hector's death and made it seem like he had died battling a terrorist group. His body was recovered on the Ferdinand coast by the two of them and they buried it outside of Narobia, where Hector was from.... The two of them continued to ride through the skies in the America as they traveled from land to land doing whatever they could to help their cause.... The memory of Deamon Foxx filled their heads every day, the man who saved them all....)
