Katomi and Viole walked down the halls, talking about their little battle.

"Ha ha! And remember that one backhand swing? Oh, I knocked out soo good!" Katomi said, elbowing Viole.

Suddenly, a soldier came running down the halls. "EMERGENCY!! EMERGENCY!!! A SCORE OF GUYMELEFS HEADING THIS WAY!!!" he cried.

Viole and Katomi looked at one another, then sprinted back to the hangers.

Rohga and his army went full speed toward the Vione. "Mekhasa…" he muttered.

Guymelefs came flooding out of the Vione, heading toward the androids. There was one in particular that caught Rohga’s eye. An android…Mekhasa? No. It couldn’t be. The Cataran androids were mostly red…this one was blue like the other guymelefs. The color of the Zentorian Empire! "Zentor must’ve gotten here first!" Rohga said, grinning contemptuously.

Zentor and Catara were sworn enemies ever since the Fifty Year War which had taken place thousands of years ago. Both were equal in strength and power, making them rivals. Catara had long wanted to destroy Zentor, but because of the Angelic Genesis, war never started…the legacy of the four angels forbade it…but only on Exidaea, the star where the two empires lay. Rohga let out an evil chuckle. "Prepare to die, Zentorian!"

The androids and the guymelefs clashed together in a deadly battle. Consisting of a General-of-the-Army, a Colonel, a Captain, a Lieutenant and sixteen well trained soldiers, the Cataran army were doing pretty well. However, the score of Catarans were still stiff from the years of peace. This gave the advantage to the Dragonslayers.

Rohga went straight for what he assumed was a Zentorian android. The two locked blades, and went into a rapid sword fight. Odd, Rogha thought, why isn’t this soldier shape shifting his or her android? Rohga shape shifted his android into a leopard and shot a hailstorm of claws at the guymelef, which was piloted by Katomi. Katomi dodged then charged and swung her sword, but her adversary had changed into its original form and blocked it. "How do they do that?!" she snarled. She was about to give another swing, when Viole’s voice came through the intercom.

"Enemies approaching!"

"GOSH DARN IT!" Katomi growled. She locked swords with Rohga then made a quick glance to her right and saw what Viole had told her about. Impatiently, she pushed Rohga away and started slashing rapidly. "DIE!!! DIE!!!!"

Rohga blocked every blow then countered, yet missed. "This is one good fighter!" he remarked.

Katomi, now getting very impatient, slammed the flat of her sword on Rohga;s android, causing it to fall over. Then, she turned and shot towards the incoming army.

Van and Allen, who had seen the odd guymelef before, growled and attacked. Allen ordered his men to go and attack the rest of the Dragonslayers then helped Van fight Katomi.

"Two against one…interesting," Katomi said, amused. She blocked Van’s attack, dodged Allen’s, then twirled around, sword outstretched.

Van and Allen were forced back, but not for long. Both attacked at once, slashing down at Katomi’s guymelef.

"KATOMIII!!!!" Viole cried, coming to Katomi’s aid. He blocked Allen’s attack while Katomi blocked Van’s

"Thanks, Viole," Katomi said.

Soon, there was a great three-way battle. It was the Catarans who were the first to retreat., then it was the Dragonslayers. Dilandau wasn’t so pleased about it all. He sat in his throne room, glaring at his Dragonslayers. He got up and said, "Katomi, step forward."

The Dragonslayer walked up to Dilandau and knelt before him.

Dilandau glared down at Katomi, then grabbed her collar, forced her up and slapped her. He hit her again with a backhand swing, then threw her to the ground. "How DARE you lose to that stupid antique!"

"I-I’m sorry, Lord Dilandau!" Katomi said, resuming her kneeling position.

Dilandau kicked the hybrid back to the ground and pressed a foot against her throat. He rested an arm on his knee and scowled down at Katomi. "You know that I don’t like incompetent fools like you!" He pressed his foot down harder.

"I-I apologize!" Katomi managed to say.

Viole made as if to go forward and help Katomi, but Guimel stopped him.

"Don’t. You’ll make it worse," Guimel said.

Viole gritted his teeth. Katomi…

Lina watched Earth and sighed. "Home…"

Suddenly, a band of Cataran androids - the ones which were retreating - passed by, startling Lina.

"What the…?!" She peered harder at the metallic figures, but they had disappeared through a black hole. The girl blinked. "Weird…"
