Chapter 18

At S.P.I.K.E HQ...

"So, are the preperations ready? We need to create this cyborg now!" Dakoda yelled

With a few quick movements, a robot was finished, and power was flowing through the room at a dangerous speed. Bottles of liquid broke, walls shattered while the cyborg moved it's fingers.

"Excellent...The plan is complete...and Assassin Aharon lives again!" Dakoda yelled with glee.

"Scum. Your first mistake was releasing me from the shadows...and now, I will defeat you, your father and brothers!" Aharon yelled, drawing his Mamasamune.

"Idiot."

With a click of his fingers, Aharon fell to the ground.

"We control you. Once your purpose is fufilled, you'll be destroyed..." Dakoda muttered.

"FOOLS! I, ASSASSIN AHARON WILL TRIUMPH!"

Before Dakoda could respond, Aharon leapt into the air and dark beams of energy rushed into his body as his eyes to a dark red.

"Mwahahaha... Dark Ultima Masher!"

A huge purple dome enveloped the headquaters, causing it to start to explode. Debris flew everywhere, and Dakoda and his father looked in horror as Assassin Aharon walked towards them, his eyes glowing.

"You...will obey...me..."

They nodded.

"Good...Now, if you watch...this..."

With a thrust of his hands, missile turrets rose out of the ground and pointed upwards into the sky.

"What are you doing?!"

"Destroying Joshua, and Madain Sari...that place, and that Ultimate Gamer...is a threat..."

The computer quickly brought up the coordinates, and the missiles were unleasehed, firing through the night sky, gaining speed until they finally tore through the gap seperating the dimensions. At Madain Sari, it had reached daybreak. Joshua was awoken by a loud noise, which shook the ground. Eiko, who had been leaning against him, asleep, fell to the ground.

"Ow...What's happening...?" Eiko asked, rubbing her head.

She looked at Joshua, who saw the missiles heading down at rapid speed.

"Monster capsules...So, S.P.I.K.E decided to try and wipe us out with simple monsters..." Joshua muttered

Millions of monsters instantly appeared, surrounding Joshua and Eiko. Figthing thier way out, they found there were too many of them to handle. Eventually, they were closing in.

"Joshua..."

"Eiko?"

"Run!"

They charged through a few ranks of the enemy monsters, before they were stopped, the ones in the further ranks were a lot larger and too strong for them to be toppled.

"Any other ideas?" Eiko asked.

Joshua reached into his backpack and his hand found something. A rope. Tying one of his swords to each of the ends, he hurled it into the distance and it planted firmly into the ground. Finding them trapped, they used the rope to cause the monsters to fall over. Joshua pulled the rope, and the sword came flying back. Grabbing the middle of the rope, he looked in his backpack again, finding a large, steel rod, about a few meters in length, Joshua slashed the rope and lashed his swords tightly to each end. Lifting the rod above his head, he began to spin it until it was a large blur, slicing through all of the monsters. Unfourtantly, the plan shortly failed after the some of the smaller monsters attacked.

"This can't be good..." Eiko muttered.

Joshua lay, exaughsted. Eiko shed a tear from her eye and looked at the monsters.

"Forgive me,Joshua...But, you have to live...I want...you to be happy...and to do that...I have to let you go...goodbye..."
