It was a cold autumn morning when the morning sky had a large gaping hole appear within it and out of course came the warriors Taiping and Acon 01 01 01 . "Well this is just as I remembered Helios. It's been a few centuries since I'd been here last but I admit it's still a nice planet," said Acon 01 01 01 . "Man I forgot you've been here Acon 01 01 01 , so how far is the brat?" said Taiping. "Let me see; I feel him in that direction, oh it's just a couple of miles we could be there in a minute flat if we fly," said Acon 01 01 01 . "Well what are you waiting for, let's go," said Taiping. They flew off into the direction several miles outside of Yardrat of University where Ungar, Zaiyal, Daniel, Pon-Chow, Dr. Faust and Mr. Gillum were waiting. "THEY'RE COMING! Everybody gets ready," said Ungar. And of course, they arrived in their fancy armor and without a care in the world landed in front of our heroes. It was decided by both Taiping and Acon 01 01 01 that they would fight Daniel to the death if necessary, rather than return him to Taipei essentially, they had gone rogue but they didn't want the heroes to know this obviously it would ruin their entire element of surprise.
"Well, well, Ungar, how long has it been 2 maybe 3 hundred years why you haven't aged a day. Quite remarkable is that a new suit of armor and a new cape boy don't look the part wanting to look nice for the big fight eh old buddy," said Acon 01 01 01 . "We are no longer friends or allies. Acon 01 01 01 , that ship sailed a long time ago. And as far as your friend there, if he's a friend of yours he's not a friend of mine so he can piss off too," said Ungar. "Well that's not very nice you haven't even gotten to know me. I've of course learned plenty about you because Acon 01 01 01 told me everything he knows about you so don't think for a second I'll underestimate you wizard," said Taiping. "Selling out your old friends for monetary gain you're the same scum you always were," said Ungar. "Now, now, let's just all play nice. Oh, if it isn't Gillum oh and this must be the great-grandson of Zaiyal. Kid, you look just like your great-grandfather. It's remarkable really this is truly one hell of a Dejavu moment," said Acon 01 01 01 . "How do you know my great-grandfather you creep," said Zaiyal. "No way I think you're full of shit," said Zaiyal. "He's actually not Zaiyal. He and your father were good friends before he passed but that of course was before he became a piece of human garbage," said Ungar. "So much anger did I really hurt your feelings that much Ungar I'm sorry," said Acon 01 01 01 . "Who cares if you knew my ancestor it means nothing to me. The stories must have been true about him befriending weaklings because you're obviously nothing compared to me," said Zaiyal. "Wow a chip off the old block, you sound just like your great-grandfather too," said Acon 01 01 01 . "Look at this guy Acon 01 01 01 he must be one of those Shaolin Buddhist monks you've told me about in the past with the shaven head and everything," said Taiping. "My name is Pon-Chow," said Pon-Chow.
"My my you're quite powerful I can sense his Chi emanating right off of him watch out for this one. And this must be the Gatekeeper. Can you introduce yourself? I'd prefer to know the name of the man I'm going to kill," said Acon 01 01 01 . "He's not going to kill you Daniel, he's bluffing, Ebisu said Taipei wanted to have them return you to them alive," said Ungar. "Oh, I'm bluffing, why don't you try me," said Acon 01 01 01 . "Let's just fight already," said Gillum. "I agree but we've taken a 6-year long trip to this dimension traveling
through god knows how many other dimensions we want to get our time's worth here so here's the deal. Taiping will fight each of you one on one if you fight both of us anyway none of you except Ungar possibly have a chance of taking even one of us out so I would take the deal you were given," said Acon 01 01 01 . "Dammit
he's right, I guess I'll go first," said Ungar. "No no no we're saving the best ones for last I'll make the choice or else will just take you all on right now," said Acon 01 01 01 . "Fine, what's your choice," said Ungar. "How about Zaiyal vs. the big guy, my friend Taiping unless you want to throw in the towel," said Acon 01 01 01 . "Nonsense, I'll make quick work of this guy. I'm a Solarian after all," said Zaiyal.
"Let's hope that pride doesn't get the best of you," said Acon 01 01 01 . After this conversation the fighters prepared for battle. It was Taiping the Wolf-Demon and Zaiyal the Solarian warrior staring back at each other. Taiping stated; 'Your wide-open kid.' Zaiyal said; 'What are you---ahhh…' he was interrupted by a punch to the gut. It was a dirty trick. Zaiyal shouted back it will take more than dirty tricks to defeat and he unleashed a barrage of energy attacks from the Sun's
energy at Taiping he threw the blasts so fast and so often that a cloud of dust began to form where Taiping was standing until you couldn't see him at all. After this Zaiyal began to pant; "What a lightweight I guess you were no chance for me," said Zaiyal. "Oh, is that so?" Everyone was shocked, especially Zaiyal that it was Taiping. "Wow this might seem cliché kid but you almost busted one of my nails. I guess that was a good warm up. But I think it's time to show you what I can do." After this Taiping leaped across the field and began whaling on Zaiyal and it was
so fast that you could hardly see what was happening it seemed almost as if Taiping was invincible. Eventually after several minutes Taiping wore Zaiyal down and Zaiyal had to use his trump card. "You fool now you've done it! Now taste my ultimate attack. SOLAR STRIKE!" After Zaiyal said that he shot a burst of energy out of his hand it wasn't a normal Solar Strike attack it was a fully charged Solar Strike his most powerful attack to date, the light was blaring. "You thought you had a chance but now you're nothing but dust," said Zaiyal. "God you're even more cliché than I am. You sound like you're straight out of a Manga or a Comic Book," said Taiping. Zaiyal began to tremble. "How did you survive that I was banned
from using that by my father because it has a 100% fatality rate," said Zaiyal. "Maybe your old man needs to re-do the math on it. I mean I get it I was never that good at math myself," said Taiping as he walked slowly towards Zaiyal. Zaiyal
could barely move the burst of energy he expelled was the last bit of energy he had
in him as he could now not even move. "God I can't wait to kill this kid! It's over boy, your time is now." Ungar screamed; "LEAVE HIM ALONE!" But Taiping paid little mind to the pleas of the Warlock as he was about to step on Zaiyal's skull but there was another objection that stopped Taiping dead in his tracks. "TAIPING! DO NOT KILL THE SOLARIAN BOY! If you do you can't even imagine what kind of pain, I'll put you through," said Acon 01 01 01 . "But Acon 01 01 01 , this kid's an older teenager a young-adult . He isn't a little kid so why can't I kill him." "Are you questioning one of my orders, Taiping!" said Acon 01 01 01 . "No boss, I'm sorry I won't kill the kid." "If you want to know why Taiping it's out of respect for his grandfather, I'm sure you understand," said Acon 01 01 01 . "Yeah I
understand honor as much as the next guy. Well kid, it's your lucky day. Hey Warlock take the kid somewhere safe and then come back we're not done with you yet," said Taiping. Ungar flew off with Zaiyal and shortly returned. "Well look at
me undefeated. I guess it's time for Round 2. How about the young monk who looks like he's 12 so killing him is out of the question but I can't promise I won't break his legs," said Taiping. "That is acceptable Taiping and thank you for the last fight
that was quite the entertaining bout," said Acon 01 01 01 . Daniel was shocked he thought to himself; "This is all just a game to them. They play with people's lives like it's nothing." The two warriors, the Shaolin Monk Pon-Chow and Taiping prepared for battle and when it started Pon-Chow began using his advanced martial arts including the different styles Mantis Style, Tiger Style, Cobra Style and Crane
Style. But no matter how fast Pon-Chow was, Taiping simply dodged him. With one blow he knocked Pon-Chow back into Mr. Gillum unconsciousness. "You're lucky he's still breathing you monster," said Mr. Gillum. "If I wanted him dead,
he'd be dead, it had nothing to do with luck. Take the kid to the hospital or whatever and then get your butt right back here and you are fighting the next fish man." Gillum took the warrior monk Pon-Chow to the hospital and shortly
returned. The fight with Gillum and Taiping was uneventful and Taiping knocked him senseless in a little under 5 minutes. "Well that was boring. Hey warlock take this guy to the emergency and then it's your turn," said Taiping. "Don't worry
Taiping with Ungar you'll get your money's worth, the guy is a tank you might even lose." "AWESOME! I'd rather lose a fight than play the game on easy mode, that's just plain boring. Alright now I'm excited." Ungar returned. And after a quick back
and forth the fight began. At the beginning of the fight Ungar just stood there as Taiping launched devastating attack after attack. And at the end Ungar did not have a scratch on him and it was finished by a single counterattack where Ungar knocked back Taiping with a bloody nose. Daniel expected Taiping to be angry. But he began to laugh; "Bahahaha! If I even have a chance at beating you, I'll have to get creative. This is going to be fun," said Taiping. "You make me sick," said Ungar. "Why? Because I'm not as strong as you, that's hardly a reason to hate
someone." "It has nothing to do with that you fool! It has everything to do with you thinking everything's a game, the only silver lining is at the very least you're not a
sore loser," said Ungar. "Hey I'll take it. Now let's fight!" said Taiping. Now the real battle began as Ungar and Taiping lunged into each other knocking rocks and trees back all around them and firing energy blasts and spells at each other. Ungar began using his sword and began to push Taiping onto the ropes and Taiping but Taiping repelled this and put Ungar on the offensive the fight went on for more than 30 minutes and was beginning to affect the landscape around them. They seemed evenly matched until Ungar used his most powerful attack; "EVENT HORIZON!" After using this ability Taiping began to scream and then he fainted. "Well I'm tapping out Acon 01 01 01 I hope that's okay hey don't worry just stay in the Tent you'll be impervious to damage in there it was made by Wood Elves," said Acon 01
01 01 . After Acon 01 01 01 moved Taiping into the tent he came back and began to speak to Ungar. "In 1857, the British East India Company conquered
basically all of the Indian Subcontinent but the Indians mainly Hindu and Magian rebels rebelled against British rule for reasons that are too various to get into right now. Regardless, the Mughal Emperor declared a Holy Jihad against the British and issued a Fatwa against Queen Victoria herself. The rebels however failed and the last Mughal Emperor Bahadur Shah knew it was all over so he took the British up on their offer to live his last days in exile so he was exiled to Burma and died a quiet death in 1862. And so, ended a 300-year-old dynasty. Why don't you take me up on my offer Ungar? Give me the boy and you can avoid the pain you will inevitably go through," said Acon 01 01 01 . "Thanks for the history lesson but I
think I'll pass," said Ungar. "I couldn't resist, I am quite the history-buff after all. Ah…. I thought you would turn it down but it was worth a shot. Remember you only have yourself to thank for what's going to happen," said Acon 01 01 01 . "I
can live with that," said Ungar. "NOW QUIT YOU'RE BABBLING AND FIGHT ME!" said Ungar. The two lunged at each other and from the beginning it was clear that Ungar was on the defensive. He tried to fight back against Acon 01 01 01 but the Cyborg Warrior just slowly wore him down even after trying Event Horizon after Event Horizon attack it did little to nothing to stop the onslaught that was being faced by Ungar. Eventually Ungar was knocked to the ground and he couldn't move. Daniel began to scream if he was alright. "Don't worry kid he's a Gettling he can't be killed by anyone or anything and he will heal it will just take a couple of hours. Plenty of time for me to kill you though," said Acon 01 01 01 .
Daniel was shaking in his boots; he couldn't stop trembling. "I'm sorry you have to die, kid. Wait a minute, what is that? I hear a voice. Is that a female?" Daniel began to hear it too. It was Athena the Elf she was coming to help Daniel screaming that she saw all of the other warriors in the hospital and she wanted to help. "I told you kid. THE RULE IS ALL FIGHTS ARE ONE-ON-ONE!" Just then Acon 01 01 01 fired an energy blast that was heading straight towards Athena. "Athena no!" Without thinking Acon 01 01 01 lunged in front of the blast as Athena crouched in fear and began to push back against the blast he was screaming
as loud as he could in intense pain. As a smirk appeared on Acon 01 01 01 's lips. Until Daniel pushed it back and the beam flew back at Acon 01 01 01 , Acon 01 01 01 barely dodged it knowing that if his own attack hit him it could have potentially been fatal. As Acon 01 01 01 looked back he saw Daniel he was glowing with angelic energy. It was something that Acon 01 01 01 had remembered seeing once over 500 years ago. "You monster. You have no class. If you touch a hair on Athena's head. YOU'RE DEAD!" said Acon 01 01 01 . In that moment he lunged towards Acon 01 01 01 at a speed he could not comprehend and then it was punch after punch, blow after blow as Daniel began to even chip away at part of Acon 01 01 01 's robotic armor. Finally, the battle was over. "Just kill me kid, I deserve it anyway," said Acon 01 01 01 . "I'm not going to kill you, I'm not a monster like you," said Daniel. "Please I don't want to be alive to see what's coming." Daniel was puzzled, "What are you talking about?" said Daniel. "You didn't think that Taipei didn't have a contingency plan, did you?
He hired a back-up mercenary just in case we failed and if you thought me and Taiping, we're bad you haven't seen anything. He's a wolf-alien from the planet Isadora his name is Sarai and he's much more powerful than I am he makes me
look like a boy scout and that goes for Ungar too. Please kill me now I beg of you. He kills everyone including those who failed they're mission he'll torture us," said
Acon 01 01 01 . "Why should I believe you?" "He speaks the truth." It was
Prince Karelian and Sir Rhyme. "I know you two, you're the two that Ungar told me about, you're part of Ungar and Ebisu's Elite Four. Do you really believe this asshole?!" said Acon 01 01 01 . "It's worse than that, we have confirmation that
Sarai is coming here and every word that the Cyborg has said is true. But he won't have to worry about being killed by Sarai we're taking him from here. We already have his partner Taiping secured. We have a lot of questions to ask these two." Said
Prince Karelian. After this Prince Karelian and Sir Rhyme took Taiping and Acon 01 01 01 to Ebisu's Wind Palace and Ungar shouted for Daniel. "Daniel, come here! I saw everything. How did you unleash such incredible power?" said Ungar. "I don't know all I could think about was protecting Athena." "DANIEL!" Athena came running over. "What happened, are you okay?!" said Athena. "I'll explain
everything," said Ungar, "my injuries are healing faster than I thought so let's get back to the Campus. We're not out of the woods yet."
Meanwhile in deep space a ship carrying the Izadoran warlord Sarai cornered towards Earth unlike the other two mercenaries which took Six Months to reach Helios it would only be One month before Sarai reached his target which gave Daniel much less time to prepare for their eventual battle.
