Evil Entity: \"Muha haha.\"
*The entity laughed, and smiled as it stood over the nearly dead Akumu*
Akumu: \"Who...what are you?\" *He said dimly as he lay on the floor of the temple, still bleeding from from the entity\'s attacks*
Evil Entity: \"Hmm...\" *The entity refused to answer Akumu, it just stood there smiling evilly at Akumu*
Akumu: \"Ghrr...\"*Sigh*
*Akumu fainted but did not die*
Evil Entity: \"Hmph.\"

(Back at the S.S. CalmWaters)

Krauser: \"Bring it on, loser.\" *Krauser braced himself, and went into his fighting stance*
Juno: Hurra! *Juno exclaimed as he charged at Krauser*
Krauser: \"Hugh!\" *Krauser tryed to roll out of the way, but it was no use* \"Aarg!!\" *He yelled as Juno slammed into him, knocking him off of the ship*
Gatz: \"My turn.\" *Gatz flapped his wings and left the ship deck. Gatz then charged right down at Krauser*
Krauser: \"Uhoh.\" *Krauser rose to his feet, and just in the knick of time he leaped over Gatz as he flew towards him* \"Nice try.\"
Juno: \"How about this?!\"
Krauser: \"What!?\" *He looked up and saw Juno descending towards him* \"Aah!\"
*Krauser rolled out of the way and was about to counter attack*
Gatz: \"Try this!\" *Gatz fired of a few hundred rounds into Krauser from the guns in his mouth*
Krauser: \"Aaarrg!!\"
Juno: \"Gatz! Ready?!\"
Gatz: \"Ready!\"
*Krauser rose to his feet only to have a barrage of attacks thrown at him*
Juno: \"Hrrr!\"
*Juno powered up his fire sphere, and then launched it at Krauser at the same time that Gatz fired one of his energy spheres*
Krauser: \"I can\'t keep this up much longer.\" *He said to himself quietly*
Juno: \"Are you ready to die?\"

Gatz: \"Running away, huh!?\"
*Gatz flew after Krauser and Juno followed close behind him*
Juno: \"You won\'t get away that easily!\"
Krauser: *Huff* *huff* Gotta get help. I can\'t beat these guys on my own.
Gatz: \"Eat this!\" *Gatz fired of a couple hundred rounds at Krauser but missed every time*
Juno: \"My turn!\" *Juno leaped into the air and came crashing down right in front of Krauser causing him to fall*
Krauser: \"Oh no.\"
*Krauser\'s eyes were filled with fear as he looked up at Juno*
Juno: \"Time to die.\" *Juno raised his right arm preparing to stab Krauser with his claw-like fingers*

*Some how even after Yuki\'s incredible attack NS was still alive*
Juno: \"Ooh, nice illusion...nimrod.\"
*STAT looked at him with confusion*
Juno: \"NightShade was defeated! Kouken and I wiped him out!\"
STAT: \"Haha.\"
NS: \"Than who am I\" :devil:
Juno: \"You are the illusion I was talking about.\" *Juno turned his head to the sky, and looked at Gatz who was never really obsorbed, nore was Krauser* \"Gatz! Blast NS!\"
Gatz: \"You got it!\"
*Gatz powered up one of his energy spheres and blasted NS. Thus causing tons of steam from it making contact with the snow*
Juno: \"Hmm...\"
*All was silent for a moment, then the steam cleared and there was no NightShade*
Gatz: \"Huh?\" That seemed a bit too easy.
Jaden Yuki: \"No way...\" Last time NS was fought it took WAY more than that to kill him.
STAT: \"Crap.\"
*Juno turned to STAT and gave him a glare that let him know he was going to kill him*
STAT: \"How did you see through my illusion?!\"
*STAT was shocked and pissed at the same time*
Juno: \"I couldn\'t feel NightShade\'s energy, that is how i knew he was a fake.\"
*STAT gritted his teeth in rage*
STAT: \"What ever! Just get ready to die!\"
*Juno turned to Gatz once again*
Juno: \"Gatz, go after Krauser! Jaden Yuki and I can handle STAT!\"
Gatz: \"Right! Good luck!\"
Jaden Yuki: \"Same to you!\"
*Gatz flew off in the direction that Krauser had ran in*
Juno: \"Ready, Yuki?\"
*Jaden grabbed his sword and braced himself for battle*
Jaden Yuki: \"Ready!\"
Juno: \"Than lets do this!\"

[Edited on 10-1-2006 by Juno]

Juno: \"Hey! I\'ve had wors than this before!\"
Jaden Yuki: \"As true as that may be, you\'re still injured. Now go, I can handle this.\"
Juno: \"Okay, Yuki. Good luck.\"
*Juno teleported to The Main Gate and went back into his 1st LVL*
Juno: \"Hmm...\" Jaden can take care of STAT, but Gatz was hurt as well...and if he ends up having to fight Krauser AND the gunman I\'m not so sure if he can win. \"I\'ve got to go help Gatz!\"
*Juno teleported back to the S.S. CalmWaters and flys off in the direction that Gatz had gone*

[Edited on 10-1-2006 by Juno]

*As Juno flys after Krauser & the gunman he sees something most odd*
Juno: \"What is that?\"
*Juno stops for a moment before going over to it*
???: \"Someone...help me.\"
Juno: \"Awe!\"
*Juno was surprised when he heard a voice come from the thing deep in the snow. Juno rushed over to it and pick it out of the snow*
Juno: \"It can\'t be...wait.\" Didn\'t that messanger say something about the disendant of NightShade being alive. This must be what he meant!
???: \"Please...help me.\"
*He said dimly with his eyes still shut*
Juno: \"I\'ll help you, Akumu. I\'ll help you.\" I guess Gatz is on his own for now.

*Out of no where a large bird-like thing covered up the sun*
Juno: \"Huh?\" *Juno turned to the sky, and saw the bird-like thing* \"Gatz?\"
Bird: \"Not quite!\"
*It came down to where Juno was and transformed into a human form*
Juno: \"Awe. Geetz!\"

(Mega X, don\'t you read my posts? I was some where out in the snow when you posted.)

Juno: \"Geetz, what are you doing here?\"
Geetz: \"I saw you were having trouble, so i thought I\'d come and help you.\"
Juno: Oh:) Thank you, Geetz.\"
Geetz: \"Okay, where\'s Gatz?\"
Juno: \"That\'s part of my problem. Gatz went off to look for Krauser and Sharpshooter, two of our enemies, and I was about to go help him when i found this guy half dead in the snow.\"
*Geetz jumped into the air and turned back into his battle form*
Geetz: \"I\'ll go help Gatz, and you get that guy back to health, alright!?\"
Juno: \"Right!\"
*Geetz flew off to go look for Gatz and Juno flew back to the ship to get Akumu patched up*

(Moments later)

*Juno hovers by the bed that he had placed Akumu as he waits for the ship\'s doctor to come in*
Juno: \"Hm...\" Why did you come back? What is that you want here? And how did you revive? What was it that enabled you to come back to life?
*Juno continued to ask himself these question in side his head as he waited for the doc to enter*
*Click-clock*
*The the door opened and then a man in a doctors outfit walked in*
Juno: \"Wha...?\"
*Juno knew the man, and he knew what his job was*
Doctor: \"So, what seems to be the problem?\" *He said as looked down at his chart*
*Juno stood right in front of him and glared down at the little man in the doctor\'s outfit*
Juno: \"You are not a doctor!\"
Doctor: \"Wha-what?!\"
Juno: \"Take a hike, doc.mad!\"
doc.mad: \"Eek.\"
(doc.mad was the ship\'s weapons expert. His specialty was creating new and more powerful weapons for the crew members that had no powers of their own, and he was the one who made the proton-canons on the ship*
Juno: \"I\'ll give to the count of five! 1...2...\"
doc.mad: \"You\'re serious, aren\'t you?\"
Juno: \"3...4\"
doc.mad: Aah!
*doc.mad dashed out of the room and went down the hall, and then out of sight*
Juno: \"Much better\"

*Geetz had finally cought up with Gatz in the sky*
Geetz: \"Gatz!\"
Gatz: \"Huh?\"
*Gatz stoped and turned around. There he saw Geetz*
Gatz: \"Geetz?! What the heck are you doing here?!\"
Geetz: \"I\'m here to help you!\"
Gatz: \"Oh... Well then, hurry up! We\'ve got to find those two, before get back to their base!\"
Geetz: \"Right!\"
*So, Geetz&Gatz flew off in search of Krauser&Sharpshooter*

Evil Entity: Muhahaha:muha:
*It laugh as it held Krauser and Sharpshooter by their heads, lifting them off the ground*
Sharpshooter: \"Arr...grag.\"
*The two were badly beaten and burned. Krauser looked like he was about to passout from the pain, as did Sharp*
Krauser: \"What...do you want?\"
Evil Entity: \"We want your blood...and we want your souls...and we want them both right now!\"
*A black fire engulfed both Krauser & Sharpshooter. Then, a light came out from the fire and went into the evil entity, and then the fire was gone as was Sharpshooter and Krauser*
Evil Entity: \"Muhahaha. \'Tiss only the begining.\" :devil:

*Some time has passed and the real doctor has finished examining Akumu*

Juno: \"Well? How is he?\"
Doctor: \"Not good. I\'m afraid he\'s not going to make it.\"
Juno: \"Oh...no.\"
Doctor: \"Juno, I must ask you something.\"
Juno: \"Okay.\"
Doctor: \"Why do you care so much if this man lives or dies? After all, he did help NightShade in his attempt to destroy the world.\"
Juno: \"As true as that may be, I could not just leave him there in the snow to die.\" *Juno looked over at Akumu* \"It would not be right. Besides, if there is something out there with enuogh power to do this to Akumu, we should know about it.\" *Juno looked back at the Doctor* \"So, you see? I did this not only because it was the right thing to do, but because it was also the smart thing to do. What ever did this very well may be the ultimate evil NightShade was talking about.\"
Doctor: \"I see. Well, when he\'s awake you should start asking some questions, just in case it is \'the ultimate evil\'...but I hope we\'re wrong about this.\"
Juno: \"Me too.\"
*Click-clock*
*The doctor left the room and closed the door behind him*
Juno: *He looked back over at Akumu as his mind raced through all that NightShade had ever said about \'The Ultimate Evil\'* \"Hmm...\"

*Back to the sky where Gatz & Geetz are searching for Krauser & Sharpshooter*

Gatz: \"See anything?\" *He said still searching*
Geetz: \"Snow! Lots, and lots of snow!\"
Gatz: \"Hrrr!\"
*The two came to a halt and then faced each other*
Gatz: \"We\'re never gonna find them. They\'ve most likely found some where to hide by now.\"
Geetz: \"Yeah, you\'re right. We should go back to the ship, let Juno know and then decide on a plan of action.\"
Gatz: \"Sounds good. Lets go!\"
*Gatz & Geetz start flying back to the S.S. CalmWaters*

(Moments later)

Akumu: \"Uhh...\"
*Akumu started to wake up, and tried to sit up but was still too weak*
Juno: \"So, you are awake?\"
Akumu: \"What?\" *Akumu turned to his left and saw Juno hovering there by his bed*
Juno: \"Hm\"
Akumu: \"What are you...\" *Akumu stopped once he realized that he was not where he once was* \"Wait a minute, where am I?\" *He said as he looked the place over*
Juno: \"Welcome aboard the S.S. CalmWaters, Nightmare.\"
*Akumu\'s face displayed slight fear as soon as he heard that he was in the single most dangerous place that someone like him could ever end up*
Akumu: \"I\'m where?!\" *He said as he looked back to Juno*
Juno: \"Don\'t worry, Akumu. No-one\'s going to try to kill you.\"
*Akumu relaxed and closed his eyes for a second*
Akumu: *Sigh* \"Well, that\'s comferting.\"
Juno: \"Akumu... Who did this to you?\"
*There was nothing but silence for a moment. Akumu was obviously frightened, very frightened. Striking fear into the eyes of the disendant of one of the most powerful being to ever walk on the face of the earth was not an easy thing to do*
Juno: \"Akumu?\"
Akumu: \"He had power, power like I had never seen before, aside from maybe NightShade. I gave it everything I had, but I was no match...he crushed me without even breaking a sweat. Before I passed out I asked him what his name was, but he wouldn\'t answer...he just kept laughing.
