Rugal threw his fists back and lunged them foward again. "Kaiser Wave!"

A violet fireball shot through the energy waves, neutralizing them, and charged toward R.D..

R.D. was shocked when he saw the Kaiser Wave eliminate not one, but two Shin Kougenjin waves. The fireball exploded against him painfully, causing him to cry out as he thrown backwards through the air.

Alasea suddenly shot out of the still-fading smoke at unnatural speeds, spinning in a circle and slashing with both shortswords as she passed behind Rugal.

Fuck.

Matt sat up as best as he could. Hsien-Ko was out-only the power of the Omega Core could soften a blow like that.

That was like hitting him with a s***load of tanks! How the hell did he shrug that off?!

It was then that Matt remembered the dragon statue in his backpack. So far in this battle, it hadn't spoken to him once. Why wasn't it helping him now, at this critical juncture?

Acting as quickly as ever, Rugal caught Alasea's blades and delivered a hard knee to her midsection. In the same motion he tossed her over his shoulder at R.D.'s body.

As Alasea flew through the air, R.D. thrust both of his blades into the ground and caught the girl, who was gasping for breath. He laid her down and glared at Rugal. His anger suddenly flared, and with a primal scream, R.D. grabbed both Phase Blades and shot forward at Rugal, slashing rapidly and wildly at any possible weaknesses, determined to cut the man down. His blades moved about as if he were a bladed whirlwind.

"We'll just go find a different route." Morph said, quickly turning his back on the tortured demon. "C'mon."

"Let's just try to find this Temple, and hope we won't stumble in on that Dream Form thing." Morph said, before jumping up, his armour flashing green, and he flew away, hoping to find the Temple by chance.

Morph was flying fast when he suddenly found himself back in the torture chamber. With a BANG he crashed into one of the walls, rubble sent flying about.

"AUW!" He cried out. Slowly he got up. "That ain't nice." He said. He glared at the guards, one being practically slaughtered by Ryan, the other now storming at him.

"Oh, a welcoming comittee..." He uttered, raising an eyebrow. "How pleasing." He activated one of his riters, being attached to a chain, and threw the weapon at the man.

"You are persistent. Annoyingly...persistent."

There was a new, malicious gleam in Rugal's eye. "I think it's time I put an end to this irritance!"

He crossed his arms and glided over to R.D., unfazed by the boy's furious whirlwind, and, maneuvering his hands through the blades, and seized the collar of R.D.'s shirt.

The world slowly faded to black.

Matt's eyes widened. He had seen this move before.

The Bison killer itself.

"R.D.!" he screamed. "GET OUT OF THERE!"

But they couldn't stop Rugal now, like they couldn't stop him before.

"Shun Goku Satsu!"

Within the darkness, Rugal's powerful blows struck R.D., and the world flashed brightly with each painful strike, silhouetting the two fighters in shadow, as if they existed within the storm itself.

Matt had heard stories of the fearsome attack from Ryu Hoshi, the warrior who had aided him and Hugo in the battle with M.Bison. A lethal technique of the violent martial art Ansatsuken, Ryu's sensei Gouken had forbidden the teaching of the technique in his variation of the art. However, Akuma, Gouken's brother, embraced the Satsui no Hadou, losing his humanity in exchange for incredible power, and openly wielded the Shun Goku Satsu.

If Rugal had this power...did it mean that he had destroyed Akuma as well?

Re-Tuul frowned as R.D. was beaten to an inch of his life. He knew he'd survive, though; Lumiya's power, even only marginally manifested in the boy, was enough to protect him from even the strongest physical blows.

"It would seem," the Khaglessi murmured to the person beside him, "that Mr. Bernstein is done playing around."

He looked over at Matt, and smirked as he felt power radiating from the boy in such subtle waves that he wasn't sure if Matt himself knew it. "And it would seem he's done playing, too."

===The battle===

R.D. was flung, battered, beaten, and bloodied, out of the darkness as Rugal's attack ended, sending him bouncing painfully across the ground.

Every stretch of his body seemed to scream as if it were on fire, and several moments passed as Rugal stared at the downed boy. Then, slowly, R.D. turned himself around and slowly forced his arms to push him up, then entered a kneeling position. The amnesiac teen could see that Rugal's eyebrows were raised.

Spitting blood out of his mouth, R.D. slowly got back to his feet and stood straight and defiant, his deactivated Phase Blades held tightly in his fists.

"I will not..." he murmured just loud enough for Rugal to hear, "be defeated by a freak like you."

With those defiant words, R.D. slammed the pommels of the swords together, causing them to fuse once more, and squeezed the hilt tightly, causing the Phase Lance's blades to extend. He could feel anger and power coming from his friend, and without even bothering to look at him, he threw his weapon to Matt.

Finish this, you crazy bastard, he thought with a bit of satisfaction.

OOC: This version of Rugal is Ultimate Rugal. All his other versions are boring. XP

Matt grabbed the blade with a trembling hand. The immense hate and anger was quite apparent on his face, causing his body to shake.

You bastard.

He wanted to scream it out, the only way he knew how, but he couldn't bring himself to say it.

You BASTARD.

His friends laid broken, beaten around him. He had used everything he could and still this monster stood before him.

DAMN you!

Even the power of the dragon statue had failed him. As the hopelessness of the situation came crashing down upon Matt, the constant force in his chest grew heavier, heavier and heavier.

His eyes wide in their unbridled fury behind his thin glasses, Matt lifted the Phase Blade above his head.

I'LL KILL YOU!

Rugal suddenly turned. What the-

Matt screamed in anger, and his power consumed him within a great pillar of crimson force, force that caused the earth to shake.

Hugo, now just recovering, lifted his head. His optical sensors were damaged-all he could really see was red-but he still could feel the ground quake in a familiar way. "...oh, hell."

From within the corridor of power, a fractured, echoing voice spoke the name of Rugal's impending defeat.

"PSYCHO BUSTER!"

With a giant swing, a massive arm of red and black steel carved through the pillar of energy, dismissing it, and Matt brought it to a ready position near him, clenching the Buster's tremendous, spiked knuckles. Jagged armor obscured his face, and eight vicious swords spread behind the boy in a savage arc.

Matt just looked right at Rugal and roared a pure, hateful challenge.

Alasea came up behind R.D. and slid his arm around her shoulder to support him, and both watched in awe at Matt's armored form, with R.D.'s weapon and eight other swords fanning from his back.

"'bout damn time," R.D. muttered, giving Rugal a hard grin.

Morph thrusted his riter, aiming for the man's gut, in a circular, moving-up gesture. He hit him with full force, and the man hung from the weapon, spitting out blood, before he threw him away. "Nuisance." He uttered. Morph then looked at his "party member" so to speak, and saw how he was doing.

Rugal faced Matt. A grim expression crossed the wielder of the Psycho Power, and with reason-Matt's power levels had spiked to extremes he hadn't thought possible.

Now wasn't the time to play games, that was for sure.

Matt swung his mighty fist, and the pure momentum of the blow sent him rocketing toward Rugal, carried on by his vicous battle cry.

Rugal placed his hand out just in time to send Matt's heavy blow glancing to the side, but even as he did, his eyes widened just a little bit at the amazing speed and power of the attack.

Yes...now things were getting serious.

Rugal slashed with his foot. "Genocide-"

The Psycho Buster's heavy fist smashed into his body, the spiked knuckles cutting through his abdomen, and Rugal, in shock, was sent into the air with an arc of blood.

Matt spread the Psycho Buster's fingers, and the swords oriented to bare their tips at Rugal. "Psycho Blade!"

The swords lashed rapidly at the airborne Rugal, one by one in a lethal dance of steel. It was all Rugal could do to knock the blades off course, but still the blades managed to wet their tips on his blood, striking him in the limbs at various points, his blood freefalling in constant red drops.

Dark Wolf glared at Virus angerly his body as he then began to be covered with Dark Wolf energy then he then flared up with gouka forming the two together thus making a pitch black oria all over him, "I thought myself how to get in this form it's great for hand to hand kombat,it is called black Wolf form,stage two of the Dark Wolf forms.Now let get down to bisness." kagai said angerly as he cracked his kunkles.

Alasea was currently trying to revive Hsien-Ko, and had her eyes on the new battle occuring between Matt and Rugal. R.D. also watched, making sure he remained standing. The pain was miraculously fading from his body; he figured that Lumiya was trying to repair him to the best of its currently-limited ability. There was a grim look on his face.

Don't die, Matt, he thought, I'm not ready yet to try fighting him again.

X reached to the place and looked for his name.When he came across his name,he looked for 'What will happen to him'.He was shocked to see that he will disappear withnin 3 weeks.He stood there,frozen as a statue."Yaiyaiyai...Poor X is gonna disappear 3 weeks later..."came a familiar voice.X spun around to see Xigbar.X was furious and he summond out his Ultima Weapon."Ohh....Little X is furious....Hahaha!Serves you right to disappear that quickly!"Xigbar mocked X."But why me first!?It isen't even the time t-to disappear!"X yelled."Hah!Xemnas is the one who decided that!Lucky for you that Roxas and Mickey doesen't know that you will return to Sora!"Xigar explained."Sora!?You mean...!?But I thought he half was Roxas!"X was puzzled and angry."Well...after you win me...I will tell you..."Xigbar summond out his 2 Freeshooters."Gotcha now!"Xigbar yelled and fire two red beams at X.He quickly dodge it and jumped towards Xigbar.The Freeshooter grinned and rapidly shoot red beams at X.The Keyblade Master dodge as fast as he can and did a Warp Snipe.Xigbar start to teleport but a beam hit him.Xigbar felled onto the ground."Hmph!Find then...Sora was once born at Kingdom Hearts but he doesen't know that....As he was born...he suddenly became a heartless and you were created..but since he was a Heartless such a short time...you weren't whole...Later he was transfered to Destiny Island as his parents feared that when Sora grow up and he becomes a Heartless again maybe he will attack them...So...Bye!!"Xigbar teleported away."Wait!"X has many question to say but since Xigbar had disappeared,he has nothing to say.

"Stating the obvious is one of your strong points I see." Morph said to Ryan. He glanced at the demon and turned his head away. "What should we do now?"

Morph had his back turned towards the demon, having his weapons ready. He didn't want to look at the hidious thing, but didn't trust it either, now that it had been released.
