Cyber-Mech Ninja Clan

FINAL MISSION PART 1

Previously:
	Galen and Tora run away until they are cornered in an 
abandoned area. Just when all seems lost, when the smoke 
clears from the barrage of bullets Tora and Galen have 
transformed into their hyper modes and have set their 
sights on Raion, who was completely baffled and scared. 
They destroy his MCU with one attack. When they go to 
investigate the cockpit they find that Raion was 
controlling the MCU by remote and that it was set to 
explode. They attempted to escape but were caught in the 
shockwave. They were found by their friends, who were 
stupefied by their change in appearance. Elijah and Kuma 
explained to the others their theory about how the 
transformation took place. They left right before the 
police arrived and went to Elijah and Taj's house. Galen 
and Tora awaken and are surprised by the images Elijah is 
saying came from their heads. Jennifer goes upstairs and 
answers the door and in walk Erika and Victoria who were 
invited by Brandon and Keith. They break their attention 
from their game and start making out. Then Elijah answers 
the door the second time and he and Taj leave out the house 
with their dates, which amused Galen because he had never 
seen them with girls before. The next day at school Elijah 
is questioned about what happened last night. Even though 
what happened was obvious Elijah denied anything occurred 
and walked away, Taj had already walked away fearing that 
he was next. Then there is a fire alarm and our heroes exit 
the school before they could hear that the instruction to 
leave the building was denounced. Before they could get 
back inside Raion appeared in his hyper mode. And without 
their MCU they wouldn't stand a chance.

[Parking lot]

Galen: We need to get somewhere away from the school. 
There's no need in letting these people get hurt. (He was 
referring to the students that were just exiting buses and 
the ones from inside that gathered to see if there was 
going to be a fight.)

Jason: Why, there's fifteen of us and one of him.

Mark: He's in that berserker form that Kuma and Elijah told 
us about.

Kuma: Actually I called it a hyper form, and its very 
dangerous.

Shalonda: There's some woods close by, let's go. (They jump 
off in the direction of the woods. Raion took one leap and 
caught up with them.)

Raion: So, are you ready to die!
Hiru: When did you obtain that form?

Raion: Last night when I was training against several of 
our cyborg fighters.

Tora: What! You mean there are others like us?

Raion: We have created an army that can wipe you out in a 
hot second, and the data from which we created them came 
from Keith.

Keith: Damn it. I should have never fell into the enemies' 
hands.

Galen: You got caught, how come you didn't tell us.

Brandon: We didn't think it was that serious.

Galen: Well it was obviously a big deal. You know the pact 
we made about if we were captured.

Keith: I wasn't going to destroy myself. I just couldn't 
bring myself to do it. Besides I knew I could escape.

Neko: Uh, can you discuss this later; we have a situation 
in front of us to take care of.

Raion: No, go on. I'll give you all the time you need to 
get your last words in before I kill you.

Terrell: Hyper power or not, I'm tired of your mouth. (He 
starts to run forward to attack Raion, but Terra stops 
him.)

Terra: Stay calm, your doing exactly what he wants you to 
do.

Terrell: But we can't just stand here waiting to die, we 
can at least go down fighting.

Jennifer: But together I think we have a chance.

Sakura: Like the saying goes. "Together we stand, divided 
we fall."

Raion: And fall you shall. (He strikes the ground with his 
fist and a small fissure flows through the ground. They 
jump out of the way just as a beam of lightning flies out 
the ground where we were standing. They landed five feet 
away from the blast.)

Mikel: Now's our chance! (They jumped at him with their 
various weapons.)

(Mark reached him first and slashed at him with his sword 
Raion dodged to the side and punched him in the stomach and 
sent him flying into a tree. Mark recovered in the air and 
launched off the tree with his feet and rocketed back 
toward Raion. Raion didn't expect this and received a cut 
on his face before he kicked Mark away. The rest of us 
started attacking Raion while Shalonda went to go check on 
Mark's condition.)

Raion: You guys are too slow. (He dodges every single one 
of our attacks and threw out his hands and knocked us all 
away with an energy field.) Now its time to get serious! 
(He extracts his claws from his metallic gloves.)

(He starts to charge toward Jennifer, but is hit from 
behind by Elijah and Taj who were in their hyper forms. 
Raion flies through like ten trees and falls silent.)

Galen: Elijah! Taj! It's about time you two show up. (He 
sees that they're breathing heavily and barely able to 
stand.) Hey, what's wrong with you two?

Elijah: It seems that after you've gone into your more 
powerful form that you can change into it whenever you 
like...but...the down side is that you use up most of your 
energy. (He and Taj fall to the ground exhausted and change 
back to normal.)

Hiru: Thanks for the help. We couldn't even lay a hand on 
him.

Mark: Well, I did get a hit in on him, but he didn't seem 
to care.

Mikel: You surprised him, so you were lucky. I he'd known 
you were coming he would have probably killed you since you 
were a sitting duck.

Mark: You're just jealous that I'm better than you. Oww.

Shalonda: Opps, sorry about that. (She goes back to 
attending his wound.)

Elijah: Don't celebrate yet. He may not be dead.

Taj: We didn't have much energy to use after we 
transformed, so our attack was to merely take him out of 
commission for a little bit.

Tora: Come on Galen. Let's go see check it out.

Galen: Man, you crazy or something. That's the same thing 
white people say in the movies and looks what happens to 
them, a crazed killer slices their throats. Fuck that! I'm 
staying put.

Sakura: Why don't we all go together?

Keith: I'll stay here with Elijah and Taj. (The others 
start to approach the spot where Raion slide and landed. 
The was a long trench created by the force of his body 
grinding into the dirt. They found him lying on the other 
side of the fence blocking the baseball field from the 
woods.)
Jason: He isn't moving.

Terra: It could be a trick, you know, when you want to fool 
a bear you pretend that your dead, but your really waiting 
for it to leave so you can make your escape.

Kuma: Well this bear isn't going to be fooled. (He raises 
his axe and prepares to strike Raion in the head, but all 
of a sudden his wyes fly open. His eyes were a bright gold. 
The energy field from before formed around him, but this 
time it was yellow and had electricity flowing on its 
outside. They were knocked back into the clearing. Kuma had 
taken most of the damage from the attack and was knocked 
out instantly.)

Galen: Damn it! I can't move.

Raion: We walked over to us.) So, how do you like my 
electric trap shield? Don't even bother trying to break 
free. You only make it stronger. (He walks over to Galen 
and kicks him in the head.) You don't know how much I'm 
going to enjoy killing you. After your dead, the rest of 
your little resistance will cease to exist. (He grabs him 
by his neck and lifts

Sakura: *Galen! My love, there's no way that I'm going to 
lose him. * (Her eyes start to turn black.)

Jennifer: *No, I can't let him die. Not while he doesn't 
know how I really feel. * (Her eyes give off a white glow.)

Raion: On second thought. I say it'd be safer if I just 
kill you all. Who knows, you may obtain the power that I 
have. And I can't let that happen now can I. So long Galen. 
(He raises his claws to finish Galen off.)

Sakura: Nooooooooooo! (The entire area turns black as 
Sakura's clothes change into a black armor. Then the sky 
goes back to normal as if a conflicting power was bringing 
back the light.)

Raion: Oh no! The power is at its greatest when it is first 
used. But she wouldn't dare come near me as long as Galen 
is in my grasp. (His celebration is cut short when an arrow 
flies by and cuts off the arm holding Galen. Raion spins 
around holding his severed arm and sees Jennifer clad in an 
elegant white armor holding a bow and loading another 
arrow.) Shit! I have to report back to base. (He prepares 
to jump away when a whip wraps around his body and pulls 
him to the ground.)

Sakura: You tried to kill Galen. That can never be excused. 
(She repeatedly slams him against the ground and into 
surrounding trees. She then tosses him to the air.) Dark 
Hole Smash! (A swirling pool of darkness forms behind 
Raion. Somehow he managed to grab the outsides of the hole, 
the hole was sucking him in, but he was making his way back 
out.)

Jennifer: And just where the fuck do you think you're 
going. Piercing Heaven Strike! (She lets loose an arrow 
surrounded by light. It flies all the way through Raion's 
chest destroying his V.P.C. unit, then he is sucked in 
through the hole and it closes behind him.) (She whispers) 
Nobody fucks with my man. (She and Sakura then go 
unconscious. The energy surrounding everybody fades.)

Galen: Jennifer, Sakura. (He goes to check on both of 
them.) Good, their okay, I guess the sudden rush of power 
was a little too much for them.

Jason: Is everyone okay?

Terrell: Yea, just a little sore from being in the same 
position for so long.

Hiru: Uh, guys we kind of got a crowd starting to form.

Taj: Hey, something's wrong with Elijah. (Galen runs over 
to see what the problem was.)

Galen: What's wrong man?

Elijah: Well, while I was in Antarctica I was injured in my 
V.P.C., and I think turning into this form damaged it 
further.

Galen: You idiot, why didn't you tell anybody?

Kuma: He told me. I'm sorry I didn't tell you guys. He 
didn't want to worry anybody. But don't worry, because I 
already know where we can get his replaced.

Taj: From where? Where could we get an almost identical 
V.P.C?

Kuma: From me. I'm the only one who has properties close to 
his own even though our V.P.C.s' are different.

Hiru: That's crazy talk. You can't just kill yourself.

Kuma: I won't have to. I'm already dying. I took the full 
force of that electric field attack. I'm internally 
injured, and there's no way that I can be repaired. There's 
no point in losing both of us.

Hiru: But, you're the only relative I have. You can't die, 
your smart, think of some other way.

Kuma: There is no other way. Either we do this soon or 
we'll both be dead.

Elijah: N...o...I can't let you do this...(He goes unconscious.)

Tora: Lets get out of here. (He picks up Jennifer. Galen 
gets Sakura, Taj takes his brother in his arms, and they 
leave the area.)

Erika: Brandon wait! (Victoria clamps her hand over her 
mouth.)

Victoria: Quiet. Do you want to reveal who they are? 
They'll never be able to return back to this school. And 
the school has their addresses; they'll be hunted down for 
sure. Then they'll have to move, and you know what that 
means?

Erika: Then we'll never see them again. Should we go to 
their house Vicky?

Victoria: Yea, school's closed anyway. The principal thinks 
it was a terrorist attack. Why does everything that happens 
have to be caused by terrorists? Next thing you know, 
they'll be blaming bad grades on them too. (They leave the 
crowd and head off to find Brandon and Keith.)

[At Elijah and Taj's house]

Elijah: (He opens his eyes. He is surprised to find that 
his chest pains are gone, and then the realization hit 
him.) Don't tell me you guys went through with it!

Kuma: Yea, they sure did. (He was lying on a table with 
Hiru standing beside him trying really hard to keep back 
the tears threatening to come out.)

Jennifer: He's running on auxiliary power, he doesn't have 
much time. (Elijah gets up and goes to Kuma's side.)

Elijah: You didn't really have to do this.

Kuma: That's nonsense; besides, you'll be stronger now. You 
have one of the original jewels pumping power through your 
body. (He reaches up his hand slowly and Elijah grabs it.) 
Get revenge for me and promise that you'll take care of 
Hiru for me, the same way you've done for Taj. (His body 
went limp as the last of his power was used. Finally Hiru 
broke down in tears. He probably didn't want his brother's 
last memory of him to be him crying and acting soft. Hiru's 
body started glowing black.)

Sakura: No, Hiru don't. (But it was too late; Hiru had 
already transformed and was wielding a huge scythe.)

Hiru: The Kuro Kage shall pay for this. Because of them, my 
brother is dead, and their probably celebrating. Well I'm 
going to crash their party. (He stood up and started up the 
stairs, but Elijah cut him off.)

Elijah: Trying to take on their entire army by yourself is 
foolish. Going to get yourself killed won't bring Kuma 
back.
Hiru: But it will let his soul rest in peace knowing that I 
ended the war. And even if I don't succeed, I'll be joining 
him wherever he is.

Neko: But we don't even know where their base is.

Galen: I know where it is. (They all turn to Galen who was 
hiding in the shadows leaning against the wall.)

Hiru: How? Where?

Taj: How'd you come by that information?

Hiru: It's obvious. He's been working with them the entire 
time. He's been conspiring against our group from the 
start.

Galen: That's crazy talk. I don't know how I got this 
information. It just came to me before Jennifer 
disconnected Raion's arm.

Hiru: Well fork over the info.

Galen: It's in Australia. They've been hiding there since 
two weeks ago. The original location was in Japan, but they 
moved when Brandon and Keith were detected. It makes 
perfect sense because it's the only place we haven't 
looked.

Hiru: Great, so we just go there, kick their ass, and take 
names.

Taj: Don't you want to give your brother a proper burial? 
Or are you just going let him lie here. I thought you cared 
about him more than anything else.

Hiru: I do love my brother. Fine, I'll be back here in an 
hour. I have to build a shrine for him and his MCU to thank 
him for the sacrifice that he made.

Elijah: I'm coming with you. He was like a brother to me as 
well.

Hiru: Fine. Stand back. Portal of Darkness. (He slices his 
scythe through the air and it rips open the space in front 
of him forming a rectangular mass of swirling black and 
purple colors. Hiru picked up Kuma and stepped though the 
portal with Elijah close behind. Then it closed leaving the 
few remaining people in the lab astonished.)

Galen: That was cool. (He moved his hand through the space 
where they had disappeared into.)

Taj: The original jewel's power far extends the 
capabilities of ours.

Sakura: All this depressing atmosphere is making me sad; 
lets get back upstairs to the others. (They go upstairs to 
find that Erika and Victoria had arrived, and that they 
were leading Brandon and Keith upstairs, who had blank 
expressions and excited looking smiles. Galen was about to 
call out to them, but knew that it would be pointless. He 
knew that state of mind that they were in, and nothing but 
those two girls would get their attention.)

Mark: So, how'd it go? Did Elijah survive?

Neko: Yea, but Kuma is gone.

Tora: He isn't gone. He will always live on, in our hearts.

Sakura: I was trying to get away from all the doom and 
gloom. There's only one thing that'll cheer me up now. (She 
looked over to Galen. He put up his hands in protest.)

Galen: Come on Sakura, not now.

Terrell: I'm starting to doubt that you're even a man 
anymore.

Galen: What! I can't have that now can I. Come on. (He 
storms up the stairs and goes into one of the vacant 
rooms.)

Jennifer: Now, what you go and do that for?

Terra: Because we need to talk. (At this time Neko was 
sleeping on the couch and Jason, Taj, Mikel, and Shalonda 
were scavenging the kitchen for food.)

Jennifer: About what?

Mark: Your feelings for Galen.

Jennifer: What...what are you talking about? I'm over him 
already.

Terrell: But if I recall correctly, you said under your 
breath that he was "your" man.

Jennifer: I don't know how that slipped out. It was a 
careless mistake.

Mark: Then why did you transform. We know why Sakura did. 
Her love for Galen gave her the boost she needed to gain 
that next level. But imagine our surprise when you had also 
changed. Plus, add that to the fact that Terrell heard you 
say that. It's obvious that somewhere in you, you're still 
in love with him.

Jennifer: I don't remember saying that. I'm not going to 
stand here and take this anymore. You can believe what you 
want. (She leaves, and goes into the reading room and 
closes the door.)

Jennifer: My subconscious revealed to them something I had 
no idea of. I thought I was over him. That's why I let 
Sakura go out with him; it was for closure. It was to make 
myself believe that all feelings for him were gone. But...but 
perhaps I was wrong. (She falls asleep on the couch; the 
day's tiring events finally made her succumb to her urge to 
sleep.)

[Hours Later]

(Hiru and Elijah return and explain what they had done. 
Brandon, Keith, Erika, Victoria, Sakura, Galen, and then 
finally Jennifer joined the rest of the group to discuss 
what would happen from here on out.)

Galen: I think we should contact the President Collier.

Jennifer: Should we really get them involved? Those men, 
they have families. We on the other hand are indispensable.

Hiru: I don't care. One way or the other, I'm going to 
Australia.

Jason: We have neither the fuel nor the money to get there.

Galen: I do. I've been getting money from my job at the 
skating ring from my co-worker. *I wonder how come I never 
saw Nicole or Natasha at work anymore. Oh well. *

Tora: *He's letting his guard down, he's thinking about 
those two sadistic girls. That is one night I really don't 
want to remember. * (He shudders at the thought of what 
happened.)

Neko: What's the matter with you?

Tora: Oh nothing. Just a bit cold I guess.

Shalonda: Wouldn't they have high surveillance? And since 
it's their base they're bound to have some massive weapon 
of destruction standing by to destroy any intruders.

Terra: She's right. You guys need to come up with a good 
plan.

Erika: We can disable the security and shut down their 
power for a little while.

Victoria: Yea, we used to work there, and then they moved 
their location again.

Brandon: No. There's no way I'm going to let you risk your 
life. I don't know what I'd do if you died.

Erika: And I can't have you going off to war with a 
possibility that you won't come back, especially if I could 
have helped avoid your death.

Brandon: Erika...(He stares at her and sees that she was set 
on going with him.) ... Ok. But I'm going in with you.
Victoria: You'll need two different people to get to the 
central control, so I have to go with her.

Keith: Then I'm going too.

Jason: We need you on the battlefield Keith; Mark is 
injured, he should go with her.

Galen: Good. I'm going to go contact Aaron Turner so he can 
ask President Collier to give the go ahead on the assault.

Elijah: Its kind of sad that I had to die and be reborn to 
finally see a black president. (The entire group face 
faulted and had giant sweat drops on their heads.)

[In the air]

(The President has allowed Aaron to fight along side Galen 
and his group, but they would be arriving late due to the 
fact that they had to get organized.)

Galen: Well guys this is the place. (They look out of the 
windows of their carrier planes and see a huge fortress.) 
Mobilize MCU now. (His chair slides back and rockets 
backwards to the cockpit. He transforms to jet mode and 
flies down to the ground with the rest of his friends.)

Neko: Where's the welcoming party?

Sakura: I expecting to see at least a few enemies out here 
training.

Keith: Maybe they moved again.

Jason: Have Brandon and the others landed safely.

Mikel: Yes. I dropped them off near the large ventilation 
located one-forth of a mile from here.

Terra: So lets just destroy the damn thing and end this.

Terrell: Yea, even if they aren't here, we can at least 
destroy this place so they'll have nothing to come back to.

???: That won't be necessary. Sorry to keep you waiting. 
(They spot a familiar MCU step out from behind the base.)

Galen: Cortex!

Cortex: Yes boy, it is I. So you've finally tracked us down 
huh.

Galen: We killed you accomplice, you should be no tougher.

Cortex: You mean Raion? He was disposable. We reprogrammed 
him to find you and give you the location of this base. You 
probably didn't notice him downloading it into you.

Sakura: So you mean that all the things he did were against 
his will?

Jennifer: We killed him, not really caring about why he was 
doing what he was doing.

Tora: Don't feel bad about it. He probably would have 
turned against us sooner or later, it was only a matter of 
time.

Cortex: You all have fallen right into our trap.

Shalonda: What trap? You're the only jackass I see out 
here.

Cortex: You shall see soon. If you look over the horizon, 
you will see what your in store for.

Elijah: Uh guys, were surrounded.

Galen: (He checks his scanner and saw many dots circled 
around his group.) So this was all a set up. Shit!

Cortex: Bingo! You really are smart, boy. Our entire army 
has been gathered here today to defeat you.

Galen: Double shit! Why does this kind of bullshit always 
happen to us?

[Inside complex]

(Brandon, Mark, Erika, and Victoria have made their way 
into the base and are following the arrows to the control 
center, but along the way they ran into trouble.)

Mark: Fuck! I think it'd been safer for me to be out there. 
(He peeks around the corner and fires off another round at 
the soldiers who caught them in the hall.)

Brandon: These guys are almost as annoying as the 
administrators at school. They might as well be. "Where's 
your I.D. and your pass." If you ain't got one they pull 
out a gun and shoot at you. Could you two hurry up with the 
door!

Erika: All this noise is distracting us. Ok, one more time. 
One, two, three, go! (She and Victoria swipe their cards at 
the same time, this time the light turned green and they 
gained access to the control room. Inside Brandon saw 
Kiyone standing there holding a gun in their direction.)

Kiyone: So you did come after all.

Brandon: What are you doing?

Kiyone: The Commander said that if I killed you, that I 
would gain my freedom.

Brandon: And you believe him?

Erika: Brandon, who is this woman?

Mark: She's Commander Kurt Liehanu's fake wife Kiyone. I 
got the data on all things Kuro Kage related from Brandon 
before we got here.

Victoria: I heard her name before, but we never actually 
met her.

Brandon: But, they're not really married. It was a staged 
operation.

Mark: Who told you that?

Brandon: She told me herself.

Kiyone: I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to kill you. You 
weren't going to help me obtain my freedom. Now I must take 
matters into my own hands. If I survive this battle, then 
I'll be able to go home.

Mark: You don't have to do this. You can come with us, our 
friends are outside right now battling your forces.

Kiyone: You don't understand. They're all going to die. 
Kurt has a new weapon that'll turn the battle in his favor. 
(A shot is heard and Kiyone drops to the floor. Erika, 
Brandon, Mark, and Victoria turn around.)

???: Don't move!

Erika: I know that voice. It's the Commander. (Kurt steps 
out of the shadows.)

Kurt: So my two lost sheep decided to return. These guys 
must be the pilots of those MCU we've been fighting. 
Imagine my surprise and humiliation when Cortex told me 
we've been getting decimated by children. But of course not 
normal children. Your cyborgs, these bullets won't affect 
you as they would those two bitches with you.

Brandon: I won't allow you to hurt them. And you'll pay for 
what you did to Kiyone. How could you do that, didn't you 
have any feeling for her. (His body starts to glow purple 
and if his eyes were open, you would see his dark purple 
eyes.)

Kurt: Well, she was a good fuck, gave good head too. But 
other than that she was as worthless to me as any other 
slut.

Brandon: Enough! (The glow faded and Brandon was wearing a 
purple and black armor.)

Kurt: What the fuck! Is that that powered up mode that 
Raion was talking about. (He started shooting wildly, but 
the bullets stopped right in front of Erika who was trying 
to shield herself with her arms. Brandon started to walk 
forward slowly. The bullets dropped down to his feet and 
crumbled.)

Brandon: You shall kill no more innocent people. (He 
reached up his hand with his fingers outstretched. Kurt's 
body lifted up slightly above the ground. Then Brandon 
slowly clenched his hands into a fist, which made Kurt 
start to smash up. All the while, the only thing that could 
be heard was his deafening scream which didn't seem to faze 
Brandon at all. The screaming stopped once Kurt was smashed 
into a form of a ball, then Brandon motioned with his 
finger and the crumpled mass that used to be the commander 
of the Kuro Kage flew into a large trash bin and exploded, 
sending blood and pieces of flesh all over the floor.) 
Score...Me: 1, Kurt: zip

(Brandon motioned his finger in Kiyone's direction and 
lifted her off the ground and brought her to his arms.)

Brandon: She's not dead? (Kiyone's breathing was normal, 
she was just in shock, and the bullet had hit her in the 
right arm. She opened her eyes.)

Kiyone: Is he dead? (Brandon nodded his head and 
transformed back to his original form. Kiyone wrapped her 
arms around Brandon.) Thank you Brandon. I'll be glad to 
repay you any way you want me too.

Erika: Hey, you might want to back off. He's mine.

Kiyone: Oh, I guess I'm a bit late huh.

Mark: I believe we came here to do something.

Brandon: Right!

Kiyone: Hey, who's your cute friend?

Mark: (He approaches Kiyone) My name's Mark. It's a 
pleasure to meet you. (He grabs her hand and kisses it.)

Kiyone: And he's charming too. I think I'm going to like 
you.

Mark: I like you already. *Damn look at her body. If we 
weren't fighting in an enemy military base I swear that I 
would...*

Brandon: Mark!

Mark: Huh? What? Oh, sorry. Shall we continue this later?

Kiyone: Sure. (She winked at him and flashed him a smile 
that made him wish that they were alone.)

(Mark and Brandon went to the controls and shutdown the 
barrier around the base preventing Earth Military crafts 
from coming in and any other surprises waiting for them.)

Brandon: Now, let's get back outside to help the others.

Victoria: Yea, I can't stand being away from Keith any 
longer. I want to fight by his side.

Kiyone: Your friends may already be in danger. The weapon I 
told you about is still operational. It runs from a 
separate power source from the base.

Mark: Then we must hurry back Brandon; we have to go warn 
them.

(The door slams open. And two girls stepped in through the 
door.)

Nicole: Your not going anywhere.

Natasha: You killed the Commander, and that is 
unforgivable.

(Mark and Brandon get into their fighting stances.) 
Brandon: You girls stay back. We'll handle these two.

Nicole: You must think were like those other soldiers.

Natasha: You really shouldn't underestimate us just because 
we're girls. (She punches the wall and causes a huge dent 
to form.) Because we're just as strong as you are, if not 
stronger. (Brandon and Mark tensed a little.)

Nicole: Yes! That's the look I like to see. The look of 
fear when you realize that your time is up.

Mark: We're not afraid of you bitch. *I'm just worried 
about the girl's safety. *

Brandon: *Fuck! If only I didn't leave my hyper form I'd be 
able to beat them without thinking twice about it, but if I 
try to change back manually I'll be weakened like Elijah 
and Taj were. *  Mark, lets just concentrate on fighting 
one at a time. It'll be easier that way.

Mark: Right! But what about the other one. I don't think 
she'll just stand by and watch us beat the shit out of her 
friend.

Brandon: If we're quick enough neither one will have a 
chance to retaliate.

Natasha: You two finished saying your prayers; this is your 
last chance to repent before we send you to the afterlife.

Brandon: We'll attack on "go". Ready...

Mark: ...Set...

Mark and Brandon: GO!!! (They jump toward Nicole, but 
Natasha intercepts Mark in mid jump and kicks him across 
the room.)

Mark: So much for that plan. (He looks up into time to 
catch a kick from Natasha and he flings her into the wall. 
She gets back up and advances towards him.)

Natasha: If you beg for mercy now, I won't kill you. You 
can become my slave instead. My name's Natasha, but you can 
me your master.

Mark: I'm sorry, but that just isn't going to happen. And I 
have a reason to fight. (He glances over at the girls for a 
brief second. His eyes are met with Kiyone's.) So I'm going 
to fight my best. (He runs forward and does a jump punch 
into Natasha's face.

Natasha: *I didn't even see him coming. He's a good 
fighter, but every good fighter has an Achilles heel. There 
has to be a flaw in his technique. * That was lucky hit; I 
dare you to try it again.

Mark: You dare mock me; you'll regret we ever met. (He 
starts to throw various kicks at Natasha, she blocks three 
of them, and then the last one hits her. She reels 
backwards for a split second then slams her fist into 
Mark's stomach. He hits the ground and rolls to his feet.) 
That was a direct hit, but still you managed to 
counterattack. What kind of demon are you?

Natasha: The kind that doesn't know when to quit. *I was 
right about him being open after his attacks contact, but 
still, that hurt like hell.)

Brandon: Mark, how you doing over there? (He blocks a kick 
from Nicole, which causes him to slide back a few feet.)

Mark: I've had better days, but I'm fine.

Nicole: You need to worry about yourself. (She trips 
Brandon and then kicks him into the air. She then jumps up 
to attack him again, but Brandon air dodges smashes his 
fist into her head causing her to fall to the ground. She 
hit the ground, slid through some computer equipment, and 
jumped to her feet. She spit out some blood and rushed 
forward towards the spot where Brandon was going to fall.)

Brandon: Oh Shit! (As he landed Nicole drove her shoulder 
in Brandon's chest sending them both through a wall.)

Mark: Damn! Brandon's getting trashed. I better go help him 
out. (Natasha jumps in front of him.)

Natasha: Don't turn your back on me knave. (She prepares to 
attack Mark again, but Nicole who was thrown back into the 
room by Brandon knocks her in a control console.)

Brandon: (He walks over to Marks side.) It seems you're not 
as strong as you though you were.

Mark: Your talk is about as big as your assets, but your 
skills don't compare to ours. So surrender now and we may 
allow you to have a quick death.

Nicole: (She helps Natasha off of the floor.) Never. You 
guys think that you're the only one with great power.

Natasha: We're better than the rest of the cyborg fighters 
of this army. We also have those mystic jewels. Bu unlike 
yours, ours are the same. (Their bodies' start to glow and 
a few seconds the light fades and only Nicole is left 
standing.)

Mark: Where'd the other one go? (He looked around expecting 
that the light may have been a diversion for Natasha to 
make a sneak attack.)

Nicole: What are you looking for? My sister's right here. 
(She emphasized what she meant by placing her hand on her 
chest.)

Brandon: You shrunk her and put her between your breasts? 
(Everyone in the room face faulted and got the giant sweat 
drop treatment.)

Nicole: No you nitwit. She's inside me, thus amplifying our 
power.

Brandon: Fuck! Now what.

Mark: Maybe we should wait for our hyper modes to kick in, 
this would be one of those situations where it would 
happen.

Brandon: I was talking to Elijah and he said that it works 
differently for certain people. For Elijah, he had to be 
real mad. And Taj needed the power to save his brother. 
Hiru's power was brought on by his depression.

Mark: That means your transformation was summoned by your 
will for revenge when you thought Kiyone was dead.

Nicole: Enough talk. You seems to be taking me lightly. How 
about this, I'll let you both get the first hit.

Brandon: Sounds good to me.
Mark: It sounds like a trap. You think this is a good idea. 
I mean; they were strong separate, but now they're 
together.

Brandon: That just makes it easier for us. Come on let's 
go. (They run forward and start initiating combos on 
Nicole. Miraculously, she dodges every attack and double 
clotheslines Brandon and Mark sending them smashing into 
the ground.)

Nicole: I say it's about time I train you wild beast. (She 
pulls out a black whip with the end separated into many 
miniature whips.)

Mark: I guess now your going to whip us into shape huh.

Nicole: Precisely! (She lashes out at them, they jump out 
the way, and the whip hits the ground leaving a big 
crater.)

Brandon: Damn it! She is much stronger than before.

Mark: But she'll have a hard time catching both of us with 
that one whip.

Nicole: You're right, let's make this more interesting 
shall we. (She lifts the whip in the air brings in front of 
her, then each separate whip on the end home in Brandon and 
Mark.)

Brandon: Well ain't this a bitch. (He dodges one of the 
whips but another wraps around his arm. Then soon the whips 
bound all of his limbs and no matter how he struggled he 
couldn't break loose.)

Mark: I'll get you free. (He pulls out his sword and 
advances towards Brandon. Just as he attempts to cut the 
living whips his hand is caught by one of them. Then he was 
tied up like Brandon with one of the whips holding his 
sword pointed at him.)

Nicole: Our offer for your surrender still stands. We 
really don't want to you. You'll make great sex slaves for 
us.

Mark: I'd rather die!

Brandon: If I manage to get out of here, I swear that you 
won't live to see another sunrise.

(Nicole walks up to Brandon.) Nicole: Shut up! Do you know 
what I can do to you? I can do something to that no man 
would want to live from after it's done.

Brandon: (He thinks for a second on what that meant then 
the horror dawned upon him.) You wouldn't! (Nicole gave him 
a smile that showed that she wasn't playing. She grabbed 
Mark's sword from the whip holding it.)

Erika: We have to do something!

Victoria: There's nothing we can do.

Erika: I bet if it was your man over there you'd think of 
something, wouldn't you Victoria?

Victoria:...

Erika: I thought so. Kiyone, can't you shoot her, that 
should provide some kind of distraction?

Kiyone: I'm sorry. My shooting arm is shot, I couldn't hit 
the backside of a barn if I wanted to.

Erika: Let me get your gun. (Kiyone hands Erika the gun. 
She aims it at Nicole.) *Brandon turned strong when he 
thought that woman was killed. So the sacrifice I'm about 
to make should do the trick. You must live Brandon, save us 
all.* (She fires the gun and it makes Nicole drop the 
sword. Nicole held up her hand and she could see right 
through it.)

Nicole: (She looks over to the three girls and sees Erika 
still holding the gun in front of her.) You bitch! (She 
picks up the sword despite the pain in her hand.) I guess 
you want to join your boyfriend in pain. I was thinking 
about letting you three go, but come to think of it. You 
all betrayed the Kuro Kage, and that is inexcusable. (She 
launches the sword at Erika.)

Victoria: Erika, watch out!

Brandon: Don't just stand there, move! (He watches in 
horror as the sword impales Erika's chest. Victoria caught 
her before she hits the ground.)

Victoria: You idiot, why'd you do that?

Erika: Now you all will have a chance to escape. Take 
care...my sister.(Brandon hears Erika whisper in his mind.) 
Goodbye Brandon. I'll see you on the other side. Make sure 
my sister and the others are safe. (Her voice faded on 
those last words, then she was gone. Victoria pulled the 
sword out and started crying over her body.)

Brandon: No...(The glow started to emit around Brandon once 
more.) Nooo! (He broke free from the whips and punched 
Nicole across the room. She flew through a computer console 
and them through a wall. The whips released their hold on 
Mark and crumbled lifelessly to the ground.) Mark, get the 
girls, and get out of here.

Mark: But don't you...

Brandon: Go damn you! (Mark felt himself being pushed back 
towards the girl's direction.) I can do this myself. I 
don't want to ruin the chance that Erika gave you.

Mark: Your wrong. She didn't do that so that you can do 
something stupid. (He turns away and walks to the exit.) I 
want to see you out on that battlefield. (He motions 
Victoria and Kiyone to follow him. At first Victoria didn't 
want to leave her dead sisters side, but Kiyone got her to 
get up she consoled Victoria as they left. As they left, 
Nicole finally jumped back through the hole in the wall.)

Brandon: Now where were we? (His usual cocky fighting smile 
was gone and replaced with a vengeful scowl.)

Nicole: You know, I'm real sorry about what happened. Can 
we talk about this.

Brandon: What's there to say. You killed my girlfriend, 
therefore you die. Sounds pretty straightforward to me. 
(The energy he was putting out could be seen flowing out of 
his body.) This is for Erika.

[Outside of the control room]

(A deafening explosion is heard in the room and the ceiling 
collapses blocking the entrance  to the door. Mark runs to 
the pile of collapsed steel.)

Mark: Brandon! Hey man, if your alive in there say 
something! (Nothing is heard but the sound of more things 
falling adding on to whatever destruction went on inside.)

Kiyone: (She puts her arms around Mark) I'm sorry about 
your friend. And I'm also sorry about your sister Victoria. 
But right now is not the time to mourn for them. We have a 
war to end, then they would not have died in vain.

Mark: But I could have done something. Despite what he 
said, I wanted to fight by his side. Why'd he have to be so 
stubborn, he didn't have to sacrifice himself for us.

Victoria: Kiyone's right. Let's get back outside, your 
friends may be needing your help. Do you want anymore of 
them to die?

Mark: No. I can't let that happen. Let's go. (They all run 
down the hallway.)
