Bio and Midnight glare at each other as the clock tower's bells outside ring loudly. They simultaneously say
"Let us begin."


(Fight SCENES! Yea, this chap is a lot of fight scene action, so you're welcome!)

Bio and Agent X rush at Midnight and She-Devil, Agent X grabs the sword off her back and hands it to him, knowing that she wouldn't need it. Bio holds it in his right hand, and it glows green and purple, and mixes the colors to form a sort of spiraling tornado of colors around the sword. They continue to run at them, until Midnight makes the first move, and lifts his hand up to their faces. They stop in their tracks, not knowing what he was going to do, but as he glared at them both, She-Devils claws grew out, and she said aloud
"This should be real...exciting."
Bio held the sword at Midnight, and Agent X drew a few shurikens out of her left and right pockets. Skate couldn't just stand there and wait, he worked up a battle cry and yelled
"ATTACK!!!"
Skate and IFRIT charge at Brandon and Crystal first. Brandon charges back at Skate, and they begin to clash their spikes and claws. When IFRIT gets to Crystal, she speaks to him
"I wouldn't attack me if I were you, foolish man." and began to walk towards him in a dignified manner.
IFRIT walks towards her slowly, and pulls his lighter out of his pocket. He asks
"Yeah? Why shouldn't I? After all, you're just a little girl."
Crystal stops, as does IFRIT, and she slams her scepter on the ground. She walks up to him slowly, and he isn't able to move for some reason. IFRIT sturggles to move his legs, but they act as if they're frozen in place. She holds her hand over his cheek, and says to him
"Because I've dealt with your kind before. It only leads to trouble, for you anyway."
Crystal lets go of his cheek, which begins to freeze his entire face, and within a few seconds his entire body is encased in ice. Now, Crystal looks back to the centre of the room, seeing Carlos, dead, and Agent Y seemed to be missing. A young boy's voice called from above
"Hmph, fools get what they deserve."
Crystal looks up to see Agent Y crashing down with his fist aimed at her. She picks up her scepter, and dodges out of the way quickly. Agent Y crashes onto the floor, and leaves a huge hole on the ground, and he steps out, looking at Crystal as the dust clears. Crystal asks Agent Y
"So, Who might you be, a boy knowing nothing of my work?"
Agent Y replies
"I know who you are, I'm just surprised you don't remember my face!"
Agent Y runs towards her and is able to grab the sceptor from her. Crystal asks him nervously
"Wha-What are you going to do with that!?"
Agent Y answers
"Something I should've done 1500 years ago!"
Agent Y breaks the scepter in half, and a turquise aura around Crystal becomes visible, but disintegrates and she drops to her knees. The aura makes a sort of screaming noise and leaves her body, which falls to the floor like a ragdoll. The broken scepter and crown also disintegrates. Agent Y walks over to her, seeing her lie down, unconcious but still breathing. He thinks to himself
("I never wanted to hurt anybody. I have a different target, so I should at least leave this girl with the life she had. If the queen had her body any longer, she would have been fully taken over. Alright, I might as well get her out of here.")
Agent Y picks her up, and begins to carry her out of the facility. He blushed again and thought
(I-It's a good thing the queen didn't take her body over, she needed to help the other heroes in their purposes.") Trying to push aside his other thoughts.




Midnight held his hand to their faces, as if he's telling them to stop, and they did. Midnight put his hand down after a long time, and Bio decided to strike immediately as he did so, and ended up stabbing him through the chest. He did not bleed however, as he appeared to only be made of shadows, so the blade just went right through him. However, the colors seemed to whirl around inside, and Midnight's body began to shake, until there appeared to be an image of a person, flashing between Midnight and the Person every few seconds or so. Bio wondered what it was, but Midnight quickly smacked him away and got angry. Bio landed on his feet, apparently being very agile. Midnight yelled
"These emotions around the blade, does he know what I am? No, the boy has forced this upon me, so I will force it right back!"
Midnight held out his hand, and shadow energy formed around it, into a shape like a blade. The blade was made with shadows, and Midnight gripped it in his hands. Bio asked
"Just who are you anyway?"
Midnight responded
"Would you care to find out!?"
They both dashed at eachother, clanging the blades together and clashing the colors black against green/purple. Agent X was rooting for him in her head, but she was quickly scratched across the face by She-Devil's claws. Agent X was very angry, and glared at her as She-Devil asked mokingly
"Aww, did you forget who you're fighting?"
Agent X smirked, and She-Devil looked confused and asked
"What's funny?"
Agent X threw some shurkiens at her, which just barely grazed both her arms. They didn't particularly hurt, and She-Devil asked
"Was that supposed to DO something?"
She-Devil heard someone behind her, and looked to see It was another Agent X, holding the shurikens she threw. They had drawn a little blood, and she looked at the shurikens, to see the blood was black. She was very shocked at this, and a bit frightened as She-Devil walked over to her saying
"First sight at demon blood,hm? Oh well, it IS quite a sight. Too bad you won't see anymore of it!"
She-Devil ran at her, but she felt a few shurikens hit her back, and she stopped to pull one out, revealing them to be the same shuriken she threw at her, only with Agent X's blood on them as well. She-Devil looked over to Agent X, who was now behind her, and explained to her
"Now we are bound by blood."
She-Devil didn't understand, but Agent X continued
"Let me illustrate my point."
Agent X threw another shuriken, this time aiming right across the side of She-Devil's face, this drew a line od blood, only this time the blood was red. She-Devil rhetorically asked
"I'm...Mortal?"
Agent X explained
"Yes, my father taught me this technique before he went off to the war that killed him. He said that the user mixes his blood, with the target, thereby making your blood match mine. This makes you human, and if one of us dies, we both die!"
She-Devil was highly shocked, but confidently said
"But you wouldn't kill me, you value your relationship with Eric too much to let yourself die."
Agent X replied
"True, that's why I've set up a plan while explaining this to you."
She-Devil asked
"What are you talking a-HUH!?"
She-Devil stopped and looked around her to see that the shurikens were also rigged with incredibly thin wire,comingfrom different sides around her. Agent X held a shuriken and said
"The moment I let go of this shuriken, you get hung where you stand. The good thing about this is that no blood is spilled, therefore I won't die with you."
She-Devil said
"Well, that's a well thought plan of yours, but I'm not stupid. Miskas! Cut the wires!"
Very quickly, a bunch of what appeared to be flying demons, cut through all the wires so that the plan was ruined.She-Devil laughed and said
"Well, what now?"
Agent X said
"Well,I always have another option."
Before She-Devil could say anything, Agent X appeared behind her, covering her mouth with chloroform. She-Devil quickly fell unconcious, and Agent X stared at her, and kicked her once. Then she remembered that Bio was fighting Midnight and went to help him out with whatever she had with her.




Bull looked to see May and Tank, glaring back at him. Bull asked
"Well, did you finally come to accept your fate as my android to create my army?"
Tank walked forward to him, and Bull smirked as Tank hung his head low. May was concerned and said
"No,Tank. You can't do this. Not to us, not to yourself. What about what you said earlier?"
Tank lifted his head in front of Bull, to see his eyes had already turned pure Indigo. Tank said
"I never go back on my word."
Tank ripped off his trenchcoat, to reveal his chest, and he opened it up to reveal a red button and a deactivated timer. Bull quickly realized what was happening, and tried to run, but Tank chased and tackled him to the ground, pushing the button and activating the timer. The timer started beeping and flashing 20 minutes and counting down by the seconds. May realized what he was doing and said
"Tank! You can't give up that quickly!"
Tank replied
"This is the only way I can get rid of him forever! Like I said, I won't allow him to ever hurt you! Now, Go before this place is destroyed!"
May was tearing up, as she didn't wanna let the only boy she loved die in front of her. May ran over to Tank, and wrapped her arms around his head, saying
"I won't let you die here, Tank!"



Bio continued his fight with Midnight, trying to get a look at that person who was flashing in his sight. Eventually they met at a deadlock, and held their sword against the others to see who would lose. Bio reached a grabbed Midnight's forehead, allowing him to clearly see the figure, in Midnight's place...It was his father. His father quielty called to him
"...Help....me."
Bio couldn't believe what he was hearing, but was blasted away by Midnight's force into the wall and fell unconcious. Agent X ran over to him, and called to him
"Eric! Eric!" but he was inconcious.
Agent X picked him up, and looked around to see Brandon and Skate still clashing, waiting to see who was stronger. Then she noticed May crying over Tank and she decided to walk over there. Midnight knew what was happening, and created a shade to carry She-Devil. He and the shade left the building out the back entrance. Another shade was dragging the frozen IFRIT along too.
Agent X walked over to May and Tank, to hear the beeping noise and nervously asked
"What's that sound?"
May let go of him and turned around to tell her
"Tank is trying to self-destruct and destroy this base, Bull, and himself in the process."
Agent X was shocked, she knew how it felt to lose comrades. Agent X asked
"The countdown has already started?"
May nodded as they both heard Bull trying to get free from Tank by punching his face, but it only made clanking noises as he held his grip on Bull. Tank yelled to them
"Get out now! I'm making this sacrifice so that you'll all live to fight another day! (Tank releases a coil from his back which wraps around May and pulls her close to whisper to her) Don't prove me wrong and die with me." and let her go.
May didn't want to leave him, and instead tried to pray to god, there were only 5 minutes on the timer. She knelt on her knees, and Agent X went to get Brandon out of the fight. May began to pray
"Oh lord and savior, I wish there was another way to keep Tank alive after this."
However, there ws no answer this time. Of all the times she prayed, there would be someone accepting or declining her request.
May thought to herself
("This probably means I can't save him.....Why do I have to go through these hardships?")





May turned Tank's face around so she could see his face 1 last time, and said to him
"You'll never know how much I love you."
Tank replied
"Angel.......I've always known."
They share a passionate kiss, and Agent X cries for them. They leave Tank alone with Bull and run as far away as they can from the building. As soon as they leave, Tank turns his attention to Bull and asks him as the timer winds down the last 30 seconds
"Why? Why would you do all this to me?"
Bull answered
"I never had the chance to love, to know what it feels like to be in power for once. But now my delusions of grandure will end here, as will our lives."
Tank nodded, and as the timer went over the last 5 seconds he said
".........I love you, May." and shut his eyes.


The entire building exploded and burst into flames, destroying Tank,Bull, and Carlos's body, never to be seen again.
