Off: You may want to know this... in RPs, the Dark Weapon is at full power which means that the Dark Weapon does not only harm the body... but also the soul. If someone is killed by the Dark Weapon, then it will absorb his/her soul, thus making the kill permanent. In short, once a being has been killed by the Dark Weapon, it is almost impossible to revive him (almost becease that if the finishing move was weak, there are VERY LOW chances that there may be SOME pieces left from the soul).

________________________________________

Ex wondered why he was so confident as she unsheated the Dark Weapon... normally, the mere sight of the Dark Weapon was enough to make most bad guys run away screaming like girls... and yet, Ryu did not look scared.

Ex: "Strike you down? You are sure? Since you seem to know so much about the Dark Weapon... then you must know that if I kill you using it, then your soul shall be shattered or even worse, completely consumed."

Ryu: "So be it! You seem to have the most unpredecented knowledge of the supernatural 'Dark Weapon', but what you know about me remains a mystery! You think you know me, so why don't you kill me?!"

Ryu stood there, with his head bowed down right towards Ex, waiting for her to deliver the "finishing" blow.

Ryu: "Why? Maybe it's because I don't exist!"

Ryu suddenly vanished, although a living soul could be sensed somewhere not far from where Ex was standing.

Ryu: "You seem to have many questions... and that (nearly) invisible door in front of you holds the answers. Step right through it and you will see for yourself."

Ex *thinks* I have a bad feeling about this... but if I stand there, I won't accomplish anything.

Ex sheated the Dark Weapon.

Ex: "Well... here goes nothing!"

Ex tried to step trought the invisible door.

Little did Ex know that she was falling right into the Legion of Doom's trap!

As soon as Ex stepped through the door, she appeared to be walking on... nothing but air! As a matter of fact, the practically invisible door was just a hoax that lead to a zone of pure nothingness, set up in part by Ryu himself! As Ex was falling through time, a different face could be seen, but the same creepy voice. An enlarged mutated face wearing a straw hat, having glowing yellow eyes, and veins everywhere was seen and could be heard from a kilometer away! This was the face of Immortal Ryu, the Ryu form that suffices during the daytime.

Ryu (with a LOT less deeper voice): "Hahahahahaha, Ex you're pathetically predictable! You feel right into our trap, and now, there is no turning back! Time for you to face your destiny, because it appears you have an early flight......."

Ex could be seen falling through the blackness of the zone, but after a while, Ex stopped and a flash of light could be seen. Whereever it hit, Ex was suddenly teleported into a distant valley, right in the middle of a baren cementery, beheaded by dark clouds and rain. When Ex warped, she falled a ways until landing right into an opened casket, where the doors then magically closed and the coffin was then sealed. Finally, Ryu had appeared, who was wearing a large black cape at the time as well, although could not be seen.

Ryu (with a different voice and appearence, but same old self): "So they told you not to open the door... but you did. Things will never be the same again! Now, it's back to the grave for you, Ex Lightheart. This time, for good! Although, perhaps you could prosper up another miraculous escape... but I doubt it. And, unlike before, there is no time for resurrections because, by the time you were to be revived again, the battle would already have been won, and the Absolute Evil ridden from power again. There is no use trying to come back, you shall soon see. Now, before killing you again, I'd like to give out a little prayer to you..."

Ryu then raised both hands over the coffin, while holding up a prepared lighted match for the moment.

Ryu: "Ashes to ashes... dust... to... dust. (With a significantly scarier and deeper voice now). REST... IN... PEACE!!"

Ryu then dropped the lighted match on the coffin from which Ex laid pinned into and the casket soon lit afire! Then, when flames coveted the entire coffin, Ryu then picked it up with one arm and pushed it over the top, into a dug-up hole. At a great speed, Ex was falling towards a molten lava flow near the very bottom inside of a coffin, unable to see the bottom from any view! Unless Ex somehow found a way to break out of there, and in a hurry, Ex would become nothing more than a faded memory. Could this really be the end of Ex Lightheart? So painfully, yet so soon? Or is Ex' tale in the story only beginning? Find out, in Chapter 2: Ex's Fate!

Music track now playing... Chapter intro (SNES, Terranigma)

=========================
Chronicles of Darkness Episode 3
Resurrection
=========================
Chapter 2: Ex's Fate
=========================

...

...

During this time, in the depths of Hell, in the capital city, Dis.

Random demon: "Pl... please! I have a wife and several children! Pease!"

NeoBowser: "Why should I spare you, you filthy rat? I had offered your kind the world and this is how you thanked your god? By turning your back on him and joining the Hunters? DIE!"

NeoBowser grabed the poor demon and rose it above him. Then, he crushed him and absorbed his soul.

A gang of soldiers arrived. They began to fire their weapons at NeoBowser... but their efforts were vain. No weapon exept for the Dark Weapon can hurt Evil incarnate.

NeoBowser: "Hmph! It looks like the demons actually decided themselves to upgrade their silly medieval equipment into modern equipment... but whatever their technology. I cannot be stopped! Demons! Your souls shall be mine... ONCE AGAIN!"

NeoBowser raised his hands and began to summon something...

NeoBowser: "It was about time for me to gain back what is mine..."

FLASH!

Suddenly, a huge high-tech pitchfork appeared in his hands... it was the legendary Hell Fork.

NeoBowser: "... AND REBECOME THE ABSOLUTE EVIL! MUHAHAHAHA!"

NeoBowser shot lightning bolts using the Hell Fork, instantly reducing to ashes every living being in his line of sight!

NeoBowser: "EVIL HAS RETURNED!"

...

_______________________________________________

...

During this time...

Ex *thinks* This shall not happen!

Ex concentrated and unsheated the Dark Weapon...

The casket fell into the lava... it looked like Ex had indeed been fried...

Then suddenly, Ex jumped out of the lava, totally unharmed. She made it out of the pit and back on safe ground.

Ex: "I fear that I cannot rest in peace... for I now understand... so... the "Ex" being and Alien Seph are only one being. I do not understand how could he go as low as to kill members of his own kind... in fact, I wouldn't be surprised if you had sold your soul to the Absolute Evil. Now... show yourself, coward! I know you are there!"

However, Ex heard none more from Ryu than more senseless mind games! When Ex had tramped her way out of the grave, she came to find that Ryu was not there... only his jaded memories. He continued his shift over Ex by taunting her with his curse, but she was not the only one on his hitlist!

(Back in Hell.....)

Lt. Shadow, who tried to scan Ryu for weaknesses, was recieving painful side effects! Instead of bowing before the Absolute Evil, he could be seen with one held scaffled over his forehead, screaming in mental pain. Those same, creepy illusions were running in his head, just like they had Ex, keeping his focus turned off the Absolute Evil, who would eventually rise to the occasion and burn him inevitably. They also heard a far off voice, the voice of a living dead girl. This voice was so loud, so twisted, so evil that even El Paso heard it!

(far off voice): "Legend has it that, those who are plagued with Ryu's curse, or affected by thereof, will perish."

As soon as the voice dissapitated, the Absolute Evil was starting to become furiated with Lt. Shadow, who tried to ignore these omnious messages and obey his master's commands, but just plain could not. He was permanently affected by Ryu's superstitions, eating him up not from the outside, but from the inside. He was experiencing intense mental pain. Pain that even NeoBowser himself could not ignore. How would he deal with this pressure? How would he fight the war like this? NeoBowser would tell him if only he knew!

Ex *thinks* This place is bad... but not nearly as bad as the Chaos Heaven. As with all mental hell locations... this place has a single place where there are no illusions. All I have to do is find it and use it to find my way trought the illusions...

Ex began to wander about, trying to find a place where Ryu could not fiddle with her mind...

(During this time... in Hell...)

NeoBowser stared at his servant, who was on his knees, afflicted by pain...

NeoBowser: "Shadow... you've made it here. You are one of the few who didn't turned away from me when the UEN began to fall apart... and as such, I think that you deserve more than being afflicted by a stupid curse. The demons are almost under our control. They now know that resistance is futile. Wait here while the other Anti-Exs, Siryx, UltimaEx, Fierce Deity, and Captain Dark are coming. Their combined power should be more than enough to break the curse... I would do it myself but I believe that taking care of the one who cursed you is more important. To oppose one of my servants is to oppose me... To attack one of my servants is to attack me... and those who attack me shall suffer my wrath!"

NeoBowser took the form of pure darkness and vanished, searching for the fool who dared to curse one his most precious soldiers...

(During this time...)

???: "Siryx... Siryx... Siryx..."

Slowly, the male humanoid raichu opened his eyes. He looked at himself... and saw his own soul... or should I say, his lack of soul.

Once one of the greatest "Ex" beings to exist, Siryx's soul had been bound to the Absolute Evil's, thus making him a part of him... and binding him to NeoBowser's fate. Cursed to eternal damnation, even the Hunters were unsuccessful at dispelling his terrible curse. In the end, Siryx was able to know peace only by death, when his own love sealed his soul into the Blade of Flesh, away from NeoBowser and his influence. While this meant that he would never see his love again, it also meant that he could finally rest in peace...

...or so he tought.

Now, Siryx has been raised from the death and has been cursed to eternal damnation (again). Once again, he shall walk the path of pain and destruction... may he like it, or not. Once again, he shall be forced to kill the innocent and fight against his loved ones... Siryx heard NeoBowser calling him into the depths of Hell...

Siryx began to struggle... even if he knew perfectly that it was useless...

(During this time...)

UltimaEx rose of his/her/it's grave, in all of it's atrocious glory. Once again, it was allowed to walk among the living and unleash it's wrath over the mortals... with the benediction of NeoBowser himself.

UltimaEx: "Long ago... I and the Absolute Evil fought to bring ruin and despair upon the foolish mortals who sold my soul to the demons! I shall honor that ancient alliance! NeoBowser, hear me! I shall come and aid you to bring death upon our common enemy... once again!"

UltimaEx laughed and teleported...

(During this time...)

Into the depths of the Prison Dimension, pure hatred was gathering... the hatred took a physical form similar to the physical form of the Hero of Time... but there was something definitely wrong with it... maybe it was it's abnormally white skin, or it's blood-red eyes?

Nevertheless, this being of pure hatred craved for destruction...

Upon hearing NeoBowser's call, the being was quick to anwser.

Fierce Deity: "I've heard you, Destroyer of Worlds! I, the Destroyer of Souls, shall aid you in your quest to destroy life under all of it's forms! Those who oppose us shall be forced to repent to their new gods before being crushed!"

(During this time...)

A battlefield on a war-thorn planet... soon enough, the collective sorrow of the soldiers who died in the futile battles that took place here gathered into a single body... Captain Dark, the master of sorrow and feared Anti-Ex, rose from his grave.

Captain Dark: "Time for vengeance has came... those who wronged us shall be purified from their sins by the holy power of NeoBowser, the incarnation of all sorrow and despair!"

Captain Dark turned into thousands of bats that headed toward it's master...

Suddenly, Ryu had magically popped up from the ground and appeared right in Ex's face, forcing her on her back. Ryu was just waiting for Ex to come and follow him into a spot where he knew he could disadvantage Ex, somewhere along the grave site. He hid just feet away from another ditch, which was, infact, a grave. He seemed to have teleported somewhere outside the cemetery, but, infact, he just hid somewhere, waiting for her to come. He sank his blood-filled eyes right into Ex and looked at her viciously. Ex knew he had evil intentions...

Ryu: "Well, well, the great "Ex". Long time no see... I apologize, for I never had the time for 'season greetings', but then I've never really had time for you, either! Perhaps boiling your ashes wasn't enough, but I'm sure there are many grave dwellers who would love to feast on your soul! Yes, that's right. I will bury you alive with the rest of them. They say that, late at night, many of my fellow comanions burrow through the gravesites and feast on their dead corpses, deep within the grave, and they will soon awaken as one of "them"... as will you! I've got no time for senseless babble with you! It's time to put you to sleep! At roughly midnight, you shall see that you will be serving none other than me. See for yourself!"

Ryu then spat out poisonous green gas everywhere, right in Ex's face. This "gas" was sleep powder that will sink in through the target's veins and leave the target unconcious for a while, in a burrowed rest. At point blank range, it sank in through her veins and she started falling back, unconcious, both eyes closed shut and all, although little did she know that she was about to fall right into the depts of a grave that Ryu had prepared specially for her! He dug a hole leading into a grave, and Ex inevitably fell right into it while in a sleeping state, back-first and all. Ex fell at a sudden impact into it, infact, that a loud "thud" could be heard upon landing! Ex Lightheart lay unconciously at the bottom of a 7 foot ditch. But Ryu wasn't finished with her yet! As soon as Ex lay frozen into the grave site, he used dark magic to magically pour the mound of dirt that lay before him over the grave, smothering Ex's entire remains. Ryu had burried Ex Lightheart alive, seemingly cutting her resurrection very short, as she would awaken as one of the "Vamp Ninjas" (serving as one of Ryu's minions) when the moon finally shined over the grave that was Ex Lightheart's. How would Ex find her way out of this one? Was Ex really smothered up for good? And, when NeoBowser and the others followed him there, would they really believe he did it? The answers were coming!

Ex knew she had to act fast...

Ex casted Esuna on herself, thus nullifying the poison and then, she began to charge energy while playing dead...

When she had fully charged, she jumped out of the grave as if there hadn't been any dirt on her at all.

Ex: "How rude of you to do this! I do not know why you hate me so much... but I've fought far stronger than you, that's for sure!"

Ex *thinks* Say your prayers, sucker! While it won't kill you, it should be enough to put you back in your grave long enough for me to do my escape!

Ex pointed the Dark Weapon toward Ryu, stopping time. Then, she dashed toward Ryu.

Ex: "HA!"

CRASH!

Ex had stabbed Ryu in the chest, in the heart to be more precise! Then, she pulled the Dark Weapon out of his chest.

SLASH!

Ex had cut Ryu's chest wide open!

SLASH!

Ex spinned, cutting Ryu's chest horizontally! Then, Ex channelled her remaining energy into the Dark Weapon, as she prepared to unleash the fourth and final hit.

Ex: "Now, Ryu! Feel my blade!"

SLASH!

Ex had slashed Ryu diagonally in a downward angle. If Ryu's Life Force has been drained, then he should fall to the ground in pieces. Else, he will have suffered heavy damage.

Unfortunately for Ex, even after all that energy and brute force, Ryu had still been left standing as if he didn't even feel the hits! Infact, the cut that had been plunged into his chest soon sealed back together again, leaving one full-toned body. Ryu merely laughed.

Ryu: "Hahahahaha, so much wasted energy. You seem to have no understanding of just who I really am. I am Seph's most powerful incarnate, Immortal during the daytime, and Undead during the night. You fail to realize that, long ago, a Dark God put a cursed spell on me and the other 7 forms of Seph. His name... Dark Lord Gradius. And due to his infractions, we can live to see the day... the day where the United Evil Nations decimates you and your kind once and for all! But that's not the only thing Gradius has brought to us. By the power of the spell, we are purely invincible. He gave us special powers so that the original Seph keeps us alive as we all share his soul! You see, Seph is the carrier. In order for the curse to be broken, and our invincibility towards fiendish mortals like you destroyed, you would have to eliminate him first! As long as Seph continues to breathe in and out, we can't die! Now, if you wish to live any longer, I suggest you set that Dark Weapon of yours down... slowly.You wouldn't dare try and bring me down. Let's just face it: you haven't a single shot at me! Your last attempts at "harming" me did not even make me flinch! No mortal weapon in exsistance can destroy me nor any of my fellow companions..."

He started to put up a sadistic evil grin...

Ryu: "But we... can destroy YOU!!!"

As soon as Ryu had finished his sentence, gas started to fill the entire gravesite up yet again, this time completely covering up both Ryu and Ex. For a while, both fighters could see nothing but gray... but then, a streak of clear air could be seen from just one angle! Just then, the unbelievable had occured, as what was there happened to be...

A gray alien-like being, with a tail resemblent to that of Mewtwo's himself, only bigger and with a blade on the end. Along the ends of his tail, head, and chest were shades of blue, looking like gems on his body. His face looked in proportion, but the skull looked a few sizes too small, totally unfit for any normal being. He also had that same blood-red "X" carved along his forhead. This was the birthmark/trademark/symbol of the 8 Seph incarnations, and the Legion of Doom itself. From the symbol on down, this being wanted to destroy the intruder who stood before Ryu more than anything! He was the evil twin brother of Mewtwo himself. This being was the deranged Mewthree!

Mewthree (while interrupting Ex's and Ryu's little "tirade"): "SILENCE WEAK MORTAL!!!!"

With the blink of an eye, Ex appeared to have been lifted clear off the ground by a magical force and then hurled ten feet into a rock wall at a great speed, unable to move! Mewthree had blasted Ex with his Psychic blast-of-doom. From the mere hint of a blast, Ex was unable to get back up again. Just think Mewtwo's psychic, only ten times worse...

Mewthree: "You will die like the rest who have ever dared to oppose the legendary Legion of Doom! Sure you can take on one of us, but can you take on all 9?! OUT.... OF... YOUR.. MIND!!!"

At that moment, all other 7 Seph incarnations teleported before Mewtwo and Ryu, including the original Seph himself. In a straight line together, they were: Morbid Angel (gothic angel with scarred wings), Metallia (human-controlled mech with a Tractor Beam), T 1-Billion (latest Terminator model of unknown gender or origin), Cyber-Ex (mechanical replica of Ex herself), Evil Samus (evil clone of Samus Oron with a portion of her burned-out skull showing over her mask), and Lurker the Great (zombified undertaker with a blood-tipped axe). Last in line was the alienous Seph himself, with alien-scar tissue over a bio android flesh. He, too, carried the Dark Weapon, only their mission was to pursue Ex's Dark Weapon itself, then kill her while defenseless!

Mewthree: "Ryu wants from you just as we want from everyone... VENGEANCE!"

Together, Mewthree used his psychic mind control to hurl Ex over towards the other 6 Sephs at an even greater speed. Together, they all gathered around her and started beating what little life was left of Ex out of her psycho analysis! Cyber Ex started influnctuating the real Ex with both her eye-lasers and finger-tip missiles, continuously pumping her full of lead. Evil Samus started whipping Ex simultaneously with her whip, while Metallia beat his sword into her skull, T 1-Billion blasted her with her Arm Blaster, Morbid Angel drained life out of her with her Soul Sucker (misleading attack name), and Lurker the Great lit his hands afire and started beating Ex nasiciously with his bare brawn hands of steel! They continued to beat the life out of her until she lay onto the floor, unconcious, not lifting a single finger.

Then, something was rising from the ground... a burning "X" cross! It started to lift Ex from the ground she lay pinned to, until Mewthree lifted her up with his powers and tied both arms and ankles directly to it. Then, the cross vanished and sunk back down into the grave from which it came, bringing Ex down with her. Ryu sneered at Ex until pouring the dirt over the grave (Ex's grave) once more, hoping this will be the last time he'd ever have to do so.

Ryu: "It's time for you to say goodbye, Ex! So long... you will die and have a cheap funeral! How unfortunate for you! Hehehehe..."

Once those foul words exited Ryu's lips, he smothered Ex's grave up with dirt once again, him hoping for good this time. But then, from a far-off mountainside, someone, or something, was watching them like a hawk. This being was none other than.....

Siryx.

Siryx: "I finally found you Seph!"

Siryx smiled...

Siryx: "Do you remember me? I sure remember you!"

Siryx *using telepathy*: "I killed you once... and I can kill you twice and this time, there shall be nobody to revive you! That old fool, Gradius, has been sealed into his own realm. There is no way he can save you this time. Now... face my wrath!"

Siryx dashed toward Mewthree!

Siryx: "HA!"

Siryx kicked him in the face! While it shouldn't have done anything normally, for some reason, the kick sent him flying toward the closest wall!

Then, he jumped on Cyber-Ex and grabbed in a way that did NOT made her happy!

Siryx: "You like this position, do you? You'll not like it for long!"

Siryx did some kind of wrestling move to Cyber-Ex, breaking her arms and legs, as well as throwing her at a wall too!

Upon doing this, Siryx jumped right in front of Seph!

Siryx: "No matter how many Incarnations you have, you're still just an "Ex" being! Surrender now and maybe NeoBowser will overlook your past actions against him and accept you as a member of the UEN, just as I am!"

Siryx *using telepathy*: "I know what you're thinking... but you shouldn't try it! I have always been stronger than you, and I will always be, no matter how impressive your Incarnations are!"

____________________________________________________

Ex tried to open her eyes...

Ex: "I... I must not die... my mission... is not completed yet. There is people counting on me!"

(In the Underground dimension)

Little was Ex expecting of this turntable, as, even when her body reached the very bottom of the grave, that she continued falling! This left Ex with the little thoughts in her head "where could I be going now?"

When Ex finally stopped, an underground realm could be seen, with many castles made of stone stood over an island of boiling hot lava from everywhere. In a sense, this place reminded Ex of Hell itself, only Ex found herself lying somewhere much more "sincere" than that.

In front of Ex lay a table made of pure sandstone and rock, much like what she had seen earlier. Laying at the table lay a knight in shining armor, only you could tell there was something mighty "odd" about his appearence... his neck or face could not be seen! When Ex tried looking it in the eyes, she saw nothing but a helmet. Scaringly, the Helmet began to speak directly to Ex!

(random face): "Welcome, Ex, to the Sands of Time. I am Gradius, Seph's master and commander. My pleasure to meet you here, but you see, you were sent here for reasons other than intended.

You seem to have no logical understanding of what brings you here. Ryu did not send you here for the sake of killing you, my lord. He sent you here for this..."

Gradius then opened up both hands. In one hand lay a gem with a skull symbol implanted along the center. In the other, lay the "Dragon Key", which was used to open many of the sealed doors that made up the Absolute Evil's dark realm. Both proved to be very useful artifacts for Ex on her journey, which, even in Seph's time of despair, was far from over.

Gradius: "In the left hand, lays a very powerful, rare gem. This rare artifact allows you to summon beings far greater than any the Earth has ever known, and can scare away the demons that lurk within NeoBowser's dimension. In the other, lays the Dragon Key. Use it to go behind closed doors, and to oppose all ongoing challenges from there. You see, there is but one purpose storred in these gems: fKitten Yiffer is not an option. You, my friend, have found it! Now, go on with your journey, and send NeoBowser and his companions back to the graves from which they came from!"

As soon as Gradius was done speaking, he had vanished out of the dimension and Ex was teleported somewhere not far from where Seph, and his many incarnates, were at the time. Mysteriously, Ex seemed to have been watching Seph's great fight, which was deemed to be impossible, and where Ex would go from there was all the obvious.

(On the grave)

Ryu: "I know we won't be seeing the last of you, but nonetheless we should make good of what little we have to fight you, Siryx!"

Mewthree: (who was slower to get up than usual, but still in great fighting shape) "The only way to win against a monstrosity like you, is to change stats!"

Ryu: "We might just be 'pathetic little Exs', but that doesn't mean we can't match up against a monstrosity like you!"

Morbid Angel: "It's YOU who shall be banished to the grave, not Ex!"

Alien Seph: "Oh, yes! Now you're scared, Siryx!"

Ryu: "Be afraid, be very afraid!"

Alien Seph: "Time for us to pin the nail in the coffin for you!"

TRANSMITION!!!

Transmition: One of Seph's patened specialty moves. Seph's move made specially for destroying targets stronger than himself, once unleashed, will make the user and the target switch bodies and stats. Once the target who switched bodies is destroyed, Seph may reclaim his old body while keeping the updated stats of the opposing body.

With the blink of an eye, Siryx found that him and Seph had switched bodies well before he could lay a finger on him! The hunter had now become the hunted as Siryx in Seph's weaker body was now up against Seph in the much superior form of Siryx. This was a dying situation that even Siryx could not ignore, as they were about to get pounded by a pack of raging wolves that were Seph and his incarnations.

Seph struck first, as he was gunning in for the kill early in the battle. He punched Siryx and blew him towards Ryu at an unpredecented rate. Then, when Siryx came in close, Ryu had used his ultimate attack Fatality on him, where he grabbed him in a way as to be tugging on his soul and then lift him him into the air with one hand, putting a tight grip on him while reaching in and tearing his soul clear out of his body with the other hand, and then throwing him down to the ground without feeling consciousness. Things were not looking good on Siryx's front, as, without a single soul to live on, that he would not have a prayer of winning a fight that he thought he had won easily before it even began.

Siryx lay there dying in a weakened state, in a form other than that of his own, no soul to feed on and all, until Seph decided to come in and gun in for the finishing blow, killing Siryx in the same way that he killed Seph millenias ago: blasting him with his Cannon. When he emptied entire clips of his shattered body, Siryx was finished. Siryx, who was still inside Seph's body, had exploded and left nothing of him but a faded memory, only this was the first time an Alien Seph body was ever witnessed killed in action, and the real Alien Seph made it look way too easy! When the Absolute Evil knew, it would become clear to him that the tables have turned...

Meanwhile, Seph managed to retain his old body while the dying fake was obliterated, although even he did not notice a single change in vying strength. Seph felt an earth-defying shift in momentum. Seph may have felt strong before, but now, he felt as though he carried the earth in one hand! This time, he felt ready. Ready to travel the raggedy path ahead of him. He was ready to travel down the Road to Revenge, but it appears as though he were not alone....

From a distance, Ex was seen leaping out of a grave in a way that she had never done so before! Ex felt just as much ready to take down the Absolute Evil as Seph was, but unlike before, they would be doing it this time... together.

Alien Seph: "We did it! We finished Siryx, swiftly and mercilessly!"

Ryu: "But we are not here to destroy you this time."

Alien Seph: "You must live. Come with me, and together, we will take down the Absolute Evil and send him to the grave where he belongs!"

Ryu: "Again I apologize, but it wasn't until our little 'encounter' with Siryx which we knew we needed your help, so we please ask this of you..."

Alien Seph: "Are you in, or are you out?"

Ex stared deep into Seph's soul...

Ex: "I know that you can't wait to fight NeoBowser... but your heart contain way too much hatred. If you were to fight him right now, he would possess your soul instantly and bind you to him just like he binded Siryx... Furthermore, your soul is in pieces. While Gradius is powerful, Siryx has shattered your soul into so many pieces that he was unable to revive you under the form of only one being... which is why you have several Incarnations. Before fighting NeoBowser, you will need to find a way to merge with your Incarnations and repair your soul. You will also have to find a better cause to fight for than revenge. Until you do that, I fear that you cannot help me much..."

Ex stared at the sky...

Ex: "... and not matter how powerful we are, even together, we shall stand no chance against NeoBowser if he can recreate the UEN. It is a race against time, Seph. You must become worthy of helping me before the UEN can be rebuilt... I need your help Seph, I will not be able to defeat all the Anti-Exs alone... and I will need all the power I can get if I hope to defeat NeoBowser once again."

Ex smiled...

Ex: "Anyway... I talk too much, do I? Let's just get out of this sub-dimension. We won't accomplish anything just by standing there..."

______________________________________________

During this time...

Siryx: "It is... so sad... really... so sad for these fools."

Lieutenant Shadow: "As long as our souls are bound to our master's, we cannot be killed in any way, form, or shape..."

Captain Dark: "...as his power will always bring us back..."

Fierce Deity: "Seph isn't so different from us as he would like to think after all..."

UltimaEx: "...for just like us, his power come from hatred and his only motive is revenge..."

NeoBowser smiled...

NeoBowser: "Good work Siryx. We gained precious data from your fight with the Legion of Doom... thus, we shall not repeat the same mistakes! Captain Dark!"

Captain Dark: "Yes, master?"

NeoBowser: "Is Hell completely under our control now?"

Captain Dark: "Yes, master."

NeoBowser: "Perfect... Lieutenant Shadow, you will go into the Dimensions and meet with the Dark Kings so they actually join me into the reconstruction of the UEN. Captain Dark, you shall find Hell's best mechanics and order them to begin the construction of our secret weapon..."

Lieutenant Shadow & Captain Dark: "YES, MASTER!

NeoBowser: "Fierce Deity, Siryx, UltimaEx... slow down Ex and the Legion of Doom as much as you can. Keep them from getting any help. As always, use of violence to achieve your means is allowed and even encouraged. The more destruction you cause, the stronger I grow... and the stronger I grow, the stronger you grow... so, you know what to do..."

Fierce Deity, Siryx, & UltimaEx: "YES, MASTER!"

NeoBowser: "Good! Go on! Now... I must take care of something..."

NeoBowser and all the Anti-Exs teleported away...

Off: Isn't Siryx dead now? How else would Seph have gained control of his body and then destroy him and add Siryx's power to his own? But I'll continue on, regarding everything in the last part but Siryx.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Alien Seph: "Perhaps you are correct. Even with our combined forces we cannot defeat him now. We need special training."

Ryu: "I know just the place."

Alien Seph: "Yes. You see, there is a kingdom in the sky which you can earn a year worth of training in a day's time. It is called the Hyperbolic Time Chamber. This is the only quick way we shall be able to stack up to the Absolute Evil and his nimcretes. Follow me..."

Seph and most of the others quickly teleported to the Hyberbolic Time Chamber to train for their upcoming battle against the UEN. Meanwhile, some of the others stayed... the only ones who could make all the difference. While it was important that Ex and Seph reach their desired strength, they needed some people to stop the UEN as much as (in)humanly possible. They waited patiently for them to come there, knowing full well what to expect.

Ex stared at the remaining Incarnations...

Ex: "Do Seph know how he can repair his soul or do I will need to tell him once he's back from training?"

Ryu: "Seph can regenerate his soul back into a single piece with the blink of an eye. His regenerative powers come in to be quite useful indeed."

Ex: "No regenerative power can recover a shattered soul. There are no instant-soul repair spells. To repair one's soul is a long and hard task that only few can actually complete... Even if Seph cast some kind of uber-spell, his soul will not be truly repaired. He will maybe put all the pieces inside of a single body... but the pieces will be still pieces, and not a whole."

Ryu: "Aye, yes, recovering one's soul is no simple task, but you must understand that we are his loyal protectors, who guide under his wing day in and day out. Without us, Seph would be a wondering soul with noone to save him but himself. There is some benefit for us being linked with him, you see".
