Juno turned and glared at Naze. He flung his left arm up and snatched Naze off the ground, holding him up by the neck. He stared into his eyes with much rage. "When the time comes Naze, I will kill you." Juno dropped Naze, and then teleported away.

~With Namonai~

"I have my resources." Namonai replied. "So, you have a bit of Kuro in you, huh?" Said Namonai. "I battled with him before...most powerful man I've ever faced." He stated plainly. "So, why is it that suddenly everyone is going all evil and crap? First Maya gets taken over by an evil entity, then Naze comes into the story, then you. After a little while this Dark Dragon guy comes in and pisses off Juno, who has become just like he was when NightShade was in control of him, as if all that's not enough The Seven are destroying Earth."

~With Awai~

"I need your help, Samira." Awai said to her.
"Why am I not surprised?" Samira said while rolling her eyes.
"You know of The Seven, yes?" He asked Samira.
Samira's eyes widened with fear at the sound of 'The Seven'. She looked at Awai and muttered, "What about them?"
"They've been released, and I am gathering the mightiest warriors of light to fight them. This is why I need your help." Said Awai.
Samira was silent for a moment or two as she thought on weather or not she should join Awai's team. "Okay. I'll help ya." Samira said and nodded.
"Thank you, Samira." He said as he bowed a little.

Zaikurmo: Me (Akumu), have always been dark. NightShade is the one who released me from Zane, he never actually "turned" Zane. I was always in Zane's mind, trying to get out, and NightShade has shown me how. I owe him practically everything, but that is something I can never fulfill, because my purpose contradicts that. And I will do whatever it takes to fulfull that purpose.

Juno's back was turned to DD, his eyes closed, his breathing slow and steady. His back was straight, his feet in a small V with his heels together. He inhaled through his nose, and out through his mouth. His expression was completely blank, and he payed little attention to Dark Dragon as he spoke. Fool... He thought in regards to DD.
Gouka suddenly shot up from the ground underneath Dark Dragon. It shot up about 25-feet, like a geyser, and would surely engulf DD. Even if he was partly dragon he wouldn't be able to take the heat of Hellfire--no being that wasn't pure evil could take the heat of Gouka without feeling some pain.

~The Room~

Namonai was slightly confused by Akumu's words. What was this purpose of which he spoke? What did it have to do with his debt to NightShade? Finally Namonai asked. "Purpose? What do you mean?"

Seems like the Dragon is pure evil. Also, Juno, Akumu spoke of his purpose many times.

Zaikurmo: You don't even know how I came into Zane's mind to begin with, do you?

*Zaikurmo quickly changes the topic, he would save that bit of information for another time to tell Juno. He knows Juno would absolutely "Love" to hear it.

Zaikurmo: My purpose is to destroy everything and anything you can think of and more. I mean everything. When the MultiDimensions are destroyed, then I will have to go after the "True" NShade that has been locked away in "The Seven". When thats complete, I must find away to obliterate myself.

Zaikurmo: So you see, I can never pay NightShade back, I must destroy all and when all is destroyed, I'll have nothing to give.

Voice: Foolish one, you are in my realm, you cannot break rules such as controlling time, or even controlling my demons. Hell, I can even take away your own free will as long as your here. As for the demons, they are a part of this realm, yet, they each have their own personalities. Amazing what I can do isn't it? Unfreeze!

*The demons lunged at Morph.

Voice: I forbid you to use that ability again in this realm.

*Then Morph's whole body flashed red, then back to normal.

Voice: I will give you back the skill when and if you ever get out of here.

Juno was unharmed, untouched even by DD's 'attacks'. Juno had simply jumped out of the way with such speed that it left an image of him behind for a brief moment. He landed back where he was and looked at Dark Dragon. "You weak, pathetic fool." He insulted DD with much apathy. "You don't get it. You don't seem to understand what you're fighting." Juno cracked his neck by rolling it around a bit. He focused on Dark Dragon again, his expression blank. "You might be fire elemental, but even the God of Fire, Blazen, was wounded by Gouka. Whatever, if you insist on believing that you are a mighty warrior than I shall battle with you like you are one." Juno closed his eyes for a moment for no real reason. "Kuro-Raikou!!" Juno's eyes shot open as he yelled loudly. Black lightning known as Kuro-Raikou shot from nearly every part of his body and soared at DD faster than the speed of light the very second his eyes opened. Right after the bolts of Kuro-Raikou shot from him he teleported right behind DD and quickly blasted at him with 5 buster shots. He then jumped up and over Dark Dragon and shot a beam of Kuro-Raikou down upon him.

~The Room~

Namonai said nothing for a moment after hearing what Zaikurmo's 'purpose' was. This guy's a loony. He thought to himself. "So, you are going to destroy everything, everything includes those things that you know not of. But, how can you destroy what is unknown to you? How can you eradicate what you don't even know exists?" He asked Zaikurmo, believing that he would not have the answer.

Voice: Tsk tsk Morph. Running is not aloud either! When ever you run, let my breath blow you back!

*Then a wind strong enough to knock even the greatest warriors off balance took Morph and into a crowd of demons.

The Room:

Zaikurmo: I know where all is, I can feel its pain. I can't tell the exact location but I know what's where.

Zaikrumo: My goal at this moment is to stop whatever is in my way, and I need more power for that. Another 10k million of GS's worth of souls to be exact. (GS: Godly Souls, mere humans only hold 1 billionth of a Godly Soul.) Or, another 10k million of experience for power.
The obstacle is the entity that possesses that girl. Then again, why should I bother with EarthRealm, its already being demolished anyway. Its actually doing my work for me.

Zaikurmo: There's also another thing nagging at the back of my mind, how the hell am I going to destroy "The Room"?
Do I have to perform this action from the outside?

Back to the Nightmare Realm:

Voice: Pathetic, truly pathetic. I'm starting to pity you Morphman. I will lower the number of my servants for you... heh heh...

*The demons looked at eachother and smiled big evil smiles. They grew and formed into eachother as though they were all made out of goo. There was now a big, gargantuan, ball of demon sitting a couple hundred miles close to Morph. It was big enough to see from so far away. It looked as though it was as tall as the Eifel Tower. It turned into one demon.

Voice: Welcome Lesser Demon! Do what you will with our little, er, tormentee.

Morph: *Jaw Drop*

[0.0]

Morph: You mean there's a greater demon!

Juno looked at DragonFire, a bit annoyed by his presence. He had hoped to kill Dark Dragon without anyone jumping in to help the fool. "And why should I stop?" He asked with a hint of anger.

~With Awai~

Awai had left Hawaii and was headed to England. He was searching for yet another warrior of light. He landed gracefully on top of a 2-story home in a small resedential area. It was a fairly nice place, a little old-timie. It was painted completely white, even the front deck. Awai jumped down and landed just a couple feet from the steps of the deck.

Sitting in a rocking chair was a large man dressed in long blue jeans, and a short-sleeved blue button up shirt with a white under-shirt. He had his blue button up open, and his medium length blonde hair combed back. On his feet he had a pair of black army boots, and on his hands he had a pair of black gloves with all the fingers cut off. The man had dark green eyes, and was slightly pale. "Can I help you?" He asked Awai.

Awai turned around and looked upon the large man sitting in the rocking chair. "Hello Derek."

The man's eyes widened a bit, and he stood up from his chair. He was about 6'7, and must've weighed about 400lb, mostly in muscle. "Awai..." He muttered in shock.

~Elsewhere~

Chishio and his minions had taken over South America with ease. They outnumbered the people of the land, and their power was far greater as well.

Meanwhile in Asia, Gouki and his army of fiends had nearly taken full control of the contenent of Asia. Many of the people were far too scared to even try to kill the demons, while others simply weren't good enough to defeat them.

Donovan and all the shadow-creatures had absolute power over Europe. Many of the people believed him to be a god, and they fell before and prayed, others ran out of fear and were killed. There were very few who dared to fight him.

Hydro and his army had killed most of the people living in Australia. No one would fight them, even if they did they'd surely be killed. The sea serpents surrounded Ausralia, making impossible to leave by boat, and those who tried to leave by air were shot down with powerful water attacks.

Electra and her legion of lightning hawks had nearly taken over all of Africa. Within the hour Africa would be completely under her control and that of her master.
The lightning hawks were unbeatable, and would kill all who opposed them. Watchmen were set up on every street corner, in every other tree, etc. There wasn't a single place in Africa that one could hide. Everything that went on in Africa Electra and her legion knew about it.

Carnax was nearly done with the USA, only a few states remianed--Florida, Mississippi, and Louisiana. Sheena had sent a unit of her ice dragons to help Carnax, simply to speed things up. They took care of the west side, while Carnax took care of the east side.
Carnax was just entering Louisiana, and destroying everything in his path.

Voice: I welcome you to my nightmare. Now I have even more souls to increase my power. By the way, now that you've entered an "Afterlife Realm" [Heaven and Hell doesn't count], you are now dead! I forbid you to use any jutsu's in this realm, that includes teleporting and cloning!

Ms. Sunday: Shoot, there goes a couple really good moves.

*All of a sudden all of Ms. Sunday's clones disappeared.

Lesser Demon: Raaghr!!

*The Lesser Demon plunges its claws into the earth where Ms. Sunday is standing.

Juno's eyes returned to their normal blue color, and filled with sadness. As Jaden Yuki, now called DragonFire, spoke to him he started to return to his original form and colors. By the time Jaden had left with DD Juno was completely back to normal. "Jaden..." He muttered quietly and was about to go after him when a voice inside his head stopped him.

~In Juno's mind~

There was a massive room about 300X300 feet, one half was painted white and the other half was painted black. On the white side Juno was hovering about 3-inches from where the white met with the black. On the black side was Juno's evil counterpart in his Purifier form half way lying down on a black sofa. "Don't go after him Juno." Said the evil side of Juno.
Juno looked at his dark-side a little confused. "Wha...?" He let out.
"You can't save them all." The evil said as he turned and looked into Juno's eyes. "You cannot fight his inner demons for him... DragonFire has to win this alone." The dark-side paused a brief moment and then added: "You know that."

~The real world~

So, Juno did not go after Yuki, but instead simply stood there a moment in silence. He was without thought, without emotion for a few seconds. "Good luck, my friend." Juno said and then teleported to the USA to see just how bad the damage was. His eyes widened in horror as he looked at the destruction that had taken place in Topeka. "Awe," was all he could get out.

~With Carnax~

Carnax looked at Naze and was a rather surprised that the little being did not fear him, and even had the guts to speak to him. "Hmm..." Carnax let out as he stared at the small man. "Hahaha." He laughed lightly at the situation. "Things go well...for me, that is." He said with a voice like a lion's. Carnax could not help but wonder who this man was, and was quite intrigued by his very being. He could sense something very powerful within him, not rivaling his own power, but still... "Who are you, small one who has such courage to stand before a beast such as myself and not tremble, but instead greet me with kindness and a steady voice?" He asked commonly.

~Elsewhere~

Maya stood surrounded by darkness, her eyes closed, her body hovering just a couple inches off the ground. "Soon I will summon my rider...and the world will belong to me." She said quietly, merely thinking out loud.

Juno saw the flame ring come toward him. His first instinct was to blast it, but when he realized that it wasn't an attack he let his guard down just a bit. He stared into the ring and watched as DragonFire started his battle with Dark Dragon. "Yuki..." You can do it. You have faced worse before. Juno thought to himself as he continued to watch.

~With Awai~

"What's going on?" Derek asked, though he had a feeling he wouldn't like the answer.
"Don't you ever watch the news? The Seven have been released." Awai replied.
Derek turned his face away from Awai and cursed under his breath. He looked back at Awai, a hard expression on his face. "How bad is it?" He asked.
"The Dark Apocalypse is nearly complete." Awai responded, a hint of fear in his voice.
Derek cursed once more under his breath, obviously disturbed by the news. "Who have ya gathered?"
"Yun Long the son of Gen Long, and Samira Flare. I have a few other allies who will assist as well." Awai replied.
"Well...looks like we got our work cut out for us, don't we?" Derek said, sounding a bit upset. "Who are these allies you're talkin' about?"
"MegaMan Juno, and hopefully some of his friends." Said Awai.
"MegaMan Juno... The Ancient?" Derek asked seeming to be a little confused.
"Indeed." Awai said with a nod.
"I've heard good things about him." Derek stated. "So, ya gotta game plan?"
"I'll work on that after I've gathered some more warriors." Awai replied.
"Right." Derek said with a small nod. "Well then, ya better hop to it. I'll start preparing."
Awai nodded and then flew off into the sky, out of sight.
Derek walked into his home and started toward his bedroom. This is bad. He thought to himself just before reaching his bedroom door.

Juno closed his eyes, and tried to calm himself. The black & white room had turned grey, and the good Juno and the evil Juno were battling for control. Control yourself, Juno. He thought as he struggled to prevent his dark-side from taking over again. "Calm yourself." Juno started to breathe deeply and slowly. The room was once again Black & White, and Juno was in full control. He opened his eyes, snatched The Staff of The Ancients from his back as he went into his Purifier form. He slammed one end of the staff on the ground and stared at nothing particular. I am coming for you, Dark Dragon. He thought and then teleported to where DD was. He stood about 10-feet behind him and just looked at him for a moment. He aimed his buster and fired once at DD's back. He then put his arm back down by his side.

(OOC: When you ignore an attack you're automatically hit by it.)

"That is enough." Juno teleported right in front of DD and took hold of his staff with both hands. He then tried to strike him right in his face. He used enough force to send NightShade back a few steps, back when he first appeared to the S.S. CalmWaters crew.
