Xylek came out of Kyle's back again and engulfed Kyle's blade with the power of wind and darkness.

Xylek: As your shadow gaurdian I'm not going to allow you to lose anymore, now let's go boy.

Rage: Hmph, he thinks Xylek can help him. I'll rip through them both.

Rage called upon his Lightning Severe while Xylek launched Kyle towards him. As soon as the two were in striking distance Master appeared in between them. He hit both of them in the pressure points in the arm they were using to attack with, as a result from this Xylek dissapeared and Rage and Kyle painfully landed on the ground.

Rage: Master what was that for?

Master: Just follow me, it's urgent.

Master took off in a hurry and Rage followed after him, Kyle did the same but he was steadilly gripping his arm. They walked to the middle of town where dozens of Shadow Masters and a few Assassins were gathered. They were surrounding a huge wooden water tower with four dead Shadow Master's body with swords lunged through all their hearts.

Rage: This has nothing to do with me Master, please don't waste my time.

Master: Just as bold as ever, use the Shadow Master skill Hawk Eyes and you will completely understand why I called you.

Rage did as Master did and temporarily gained the eyes of a hawk and with this new sight he saw the horrid message left on the bodies. Written in blood was the wicked message:

"The long awaited day has come, we finally will eradicate the one who has created a legend only as mighty and amazing as his power, we will sweep Rage away from this land"

Rage: Mere posers, if they think that they can kill me their wrong, dead wrong.

From out of nowhere, a magnificent pitch black and lunar white aura spread all through Placidità for one single split second and dispursed the very next.

Rage: Found you you darn maggets!

Rage and Kyle took off towards the direction where the aura came from. A Shadow Master approached Master.

Shadow Master: Should we send a squad after them?

Master: No, they'll be more then fine on their own.

Rage and Kyle hopped, climbed, and leaped from building to building in search of the aura. Out of nowhere, another Shadow Master appeared behind them and super kicked Kyle towards Rage. The kick was so mighty that it sent both Kyle and Rage crashing from building to building till they got back on their feet.

Kyle: I've never been kicked so hard in all my lives.

Rage: Your telling me.

The Shadow Master who kicked the pair and two more appeared around the building Rage and Kyle were on. Rage headed towards the Shadow Master that kicked Kyle and the two had a old fashioned brawl. Rage used a street fighting and boxing style while the man used a balance mixture of Taekwondo and kickboxing. Meanwhile Kyle weilded his sword with his right hand and went into a intense fight of blades between the other two Shadow Master's.

Rage: Who are you all?

Kyle: You'll be dead soon so it isn't to important that you know anyway.

All the warriors fought intensely fought, but it was obvious that Rage and Kyle couldn't keep up with the three warriors.

???: Were tired of this lame quarrell, I have an idea. How about at midnight you two and anyone else you wanna bring meet up with one of us in the mountains for a duel.

Rage: Good, that way we'll be at full power.

The Shadow Master's body faded into darkness and Rage and Kyle went back inside of their ship's bridge and saw Dante sitting boredly in the captain's seat.

Rage: Now Daunte, your not going to take off and leave us are you.

Daunte: Sorry, isn't my style. Oh yeah, I saw the fight between you two and the other Shadow Masters. You two just gonna fight alone or are you gonna get one of us to help you out.

Rage: I think we can handle this one on our own.

Daunte: What will you two do till then?

Kyle: Meditate.

Rage: I'll just be in my room reading.

Daunte: You kids today prepare for fights so weirdly.

After a long and tiring day, midnight finally came and all the warriors were inside the ship.

Tracy Jon: You two need any assistance?

Rage: No and goodbye, c'mon Kyle.

Rage and kyle left the ship and ventured off towards the mountains.

Stacey: The jerk he doesn't ever ask for any help even though he might be walking into a trap.

Peligra: Goodbye Kyle come back in one peice for me okay!

After nearly a half hour past the two were in a collosal area surrounded by nothing but mountains and a special shine that beamed down from the full moon. In the middle of the area was one of the Shadow Masters before. This Shadow Master looked to be of the female persuasion from the curves the warrior had, the slender look, and was only about five'eight.

Rage: Who are you?

???: My name is Jane Bellwood, but you can just call me Jane.

Rage: Nice name, but we'll be calling you dead in about five minutes from now.

Jane took her hood off her and showed her young eighteen year old face. Jane had smoothe white skin, hazel eyes, and long, ravishing black hair that was very well groomed.

Kyle: Can I attack first Master Rage?

Rage: Yes, you may.

Kyle nodded his head in respect towards his opponent, then he  ran towards Jane and tried an jumping whirlwind kick, but Jane easily countered by swiftly kicking Kyle farther into the air above her.

Kyle: Big mistake, Green Dragon's Fire Breath!

Kyle began doing multiple types of hand signs and then shot fire from his mouth down to Jane who didn't even seem phase from what Kyle was doing. Once the fire was just about an inch or two away from Jane she did a powerful punch that blew away all the fire and kicked up a small explosion.

Kyle: She's strong.

Rage: Kyle becareful.

Jane leaped into the air after Kyle and punched him higher into the air, then followed up with a devastating kick that propelled him higher up into the mountains. Jane followed after Kyle and Rage followed the fight. When the warriors caught up with Kyle he was buried in dirt and rubble. The three were now in front and surrounded by dozens of hundred year old aztec ruins that was composed of several platforms that stretched upward into the sky and large statues of numerous gods.

Rage: I guess it is true that humans were once allowed to live up here with the Shadow Master's.

Jane: Looks like your freind is to weak to fight, I guess that just leave's me and yo-

Kyle: I still got some life in me.

Kyle climbed from out of the dirt and got back onto his feet.

Jane: Your a tuff one, but your not going to win.

Jane ran towards Kyle and literally tried knocking his nose to the back of his face, but Kyle easily evaded. Jane repeatedly and rapidly tried knocking Kyle's teeth down his throat, but all she could manage to hit was his clothing and blade. After a few minutes their fight came to a hault as Kyle notice his clothes were eroding and breaking apart.

Kyle: I take it that your using some magic or alchemy to do this?

Rage: She's using magic in order to break the materials in your clothing, but I suppose that isn't all you could do with that move. I bet you could even split an atom or the material a human body is made up of.

Jane: Your very smart, not alot of people figure out my technique before they die.

Kyle: If you can split an atom then I'm not taking any chances.

Kyle turned into his Shadow Master Form and began weilding his sword in his right hand.

Kyle: If you wanna live then I suppose you should turn to your Shadow Master form to.

Jane: Your very confident.

A ball of Darkness consumed Jane and once she stepped out she was more powerful than ever. She wore a magnificent red and black kimono and a matching red and black jacket. She weilded a pair of metal, brown gauntlets that looked they shatter the bones of a giant.

Jane: Shall we begin.

Jane slammed her fist on the ground and a barrage of rock spikes came out of the grounds and forcively threw Kyle into the air. Even though the spikes threw Kyle in the air he still cut them into minor little rubble. Jane jumped into the air and knocked Kyle through one of the platforms in the ruins, then they began fighting in there.

Rage: Well atleast I can use my Hawk Eyes to keep a close eye on them.

Kyle swung his blade rapidly over his head and then he created a living shadow suriken. He swung the shadow off his blade and towards Jane who easily evaded it.

Jane: Your not even challenging me.

Kyle: Not challenging, look behind you.

Jane: What.

The large shadow suriken turned into several smaller suriken and once they got towards Jane they simultaneously exploded.

Jane: Atom Punch.

Jane swung her fist towards Kyle and a massive beam of energy came flying towards Kyle. Kyle tried dodging and running from the attack but it still caught up to him and blew his body into the air. Even though Kyle's body was badly bleeding he kept fighting.

Kyle: Shadow Smoke Allure!

Kyle swung his blade down to the ground and smoke filled the entire room.

Jane: You think alittle smoke is gonna stop me.

Kyle: How can you stop what you can't see.

Kyle from all types of different sides and angles threw his knives and hidden blades at the blinded Jane who could barely block any attack that came her way, however this ended when the smoke began to clear and Jane found Kyle.

Jane: Found you ya little rat!

Jane and Kyle began punching, slashing, attacking, and hacking at each other, but with Kyle's quick speed he was noticeably gaining the upper hand.

Jane: I'm f***ing tired of this, Zero Gravity!

Jane's gauntlet's shined with a luminous black and grey aura as she was reading her body for a powerful attack.

Kyle: I guess this is my time to finish this, Xylek let's finish this.

Xylek: Bout time.

Xylek merged with Kyle's shadow form, and now Kyle had blood red symbols all over him and his outfit.

Kyle: Shadow Swagger!

Kyle with all his might swung his blade towards Jane and living giant shadows flew off of his blade and towards Jane. Jane's swung her fist at Kyle's shadow's and once the two attacks hit each other they leveled the ruins.

Rage: Damn, I can't tell who's winning?

The ruins completely broke down and were shattered until that remained were bricks, rumbles, and a giant haze of smoke.

Rage: I won't have to fight after all.

Kyle came stumbling from out of the smoke using his sword as a cane. Kyle walked all the way to Rage with a very weary look on his face.

Rage: You won.

Kyle tagged Rage.

Kyle: It's your turn now.

Kyle landed to the ground from exaustion.

Rage: I'll end this one quickly.

Rage took out the Dark Gunblade and transformed it to it's second form Devil's Shine ad pulled on the trigger.

Rage: Devil's Rainbow 7 Shine!

Rage swung his attack at the rubble, hoping he would be able to hit Jane and put an end to the fight quickly, however it didn't work. Jane came speed out of the dust and super punched Rage into the ruins, then she followed after his battered body.

Rage: I'm stronger than my accomplice Kyle you know.

Jane: It doesn't matter you'll both share the same fate.

Rage and Jane fighting each other. Jane tried a straight foward punch to Rage's heart, but he ducked and tried slashing her in half, then she countered with a powerful kick that knocked Rage back several feet.

Rage: Rainbow Slash!

Rage clicked on the trigger of his blade and let it be consumed by a rainbow aura. He swung the rainbow aura at Jane as an straight foward horizontal slash. Jane used her gauntless as an semi effective sheild, then teleported.

Rage: Why does so many people like teleporting, it only prolongs your death.

Jane reapeared in front of Rage and gave him a powerful jab to his stomach, and followed up with a dazzling one-two kick that threw Rage high into the air.

Rage: I gotta keep a distance between us our this is gonna get bad.

Jane's body began accelerating at an amazing speed as she did a series of
destructive punches from several different angles that forcively jerked Rage
through the air.

Rage thought, "She must be using all her power to move this quick, I can't even sense her much less see her."

Jane's deadly barrage ended with a swift, destructive kick to Rage's stomach that sent him horridly crashing down to the ground while Jane gracefully landed down.

Jane: He should be dead after all of that.

Rage climbed out from his coffin in the ground and struggled back onto his feet.

Jane: How did you live after all of that?

Rage: You think I would die so easily and besides I know everything about your technique now.

Jane: Your lying.

Rage: I never lie, it only diverts the truth. The key to your attack is that you use wind magic and with great concentration you literally can split apart the molecules and atoms in air and absorb them to enhance your energy.

Jane: Very smart, but it's to late to do anything now. Look into the sky.

Rage: What the hell is that.

In the sky was a large orb made of complete darkness.

Jane: You know how when a Shadow Master get's to Rank 7 they gain a Shadow Gaurdian made from their own power and personality.

Rage: Let me guess thats your Shadow Gaurdian.

Jane: darn straight, his name's Atom.

Rage: You can bring on hydronium, electron, and proton I'm still gonna win.

Jane ran towards Rage and teleported once she was halfway next to him.

Rage: Damn, not again.

Jane appeared behind Rage and put him in a Full Nelson.

Jane: Hey Atom come down here.

The ball of darkness came down towards Rage and Jane.

Jane: Once the darkness overwhelm us we'll be in a world of darkness where me and my dragon Atom are God and the gravity is exactly 150x time's stronger than the one here. Once inside you'll be instantly flattened, but if by some miracle you can live though the Gravity you'll have to deal with the might of Atom.

Rage: Sound's fun.

Rage began coughing up blood as the ball of Darkness came closer.

Rage: It seem's it's not over yet.

Jane: Huh.

Out of nowhere, Kyle came and knocked Jane off of Rage as he thrusted his blade through her, but it was to late and Rage's body was overwhelmed and engulfed by the darkness. Rage was now in a black abyss with severely intense gravity, but this was nothing compared to the mighty Atom. Atom was a ginormous silver and white dragon that had a very luminous aura steaming off of him.

Atom: How very immpressive, your using your alchemy to resist the gravitational pull here, but this will cut down your speed and power.

Rage: This place is covered in complete darkness, my speed and power have peaked here, but it would help if the pull wasn't so strong.

Atom: Don't worry you won't have to deal with the gravity anymore.

Atom slithered through the darkness till he was nearly three quarters of a mile and began to gather particles of energy in his mouth.

Rage: Lightning Dragon Sheild!

Atom: Atomic Disruption!

A beautiful, large blue and white electric sheild surrounded Rage and everything that was in the surrounding vicinity while Atom fired a destructive blast of energy at Rage. Miracuously, Rage's sheild was able to hold the attack back, but Rage seemed to be in a heavy state of exaustion.

Rage: One more blast like that I'm dead, dead. I need speed, speed, speed is the only way to win this.

Astuto: That is the key to the third form of the Dark Gunblade, Velocità.

The Dark GunBlade was consumed by miniature stars and wind until it transformed into a glamerous blade fit for speed. The gunblade was now a thirty seven inch narrow blade with a long thin barrel on it, an exceedling long handle with a long blue nylon cord wrapped around the handle plus a metal trigger and a silver star on the gaurd.

Atom: A new blade, it doesn't matter I'll destroy you with my next attack.Atomic Disruption Of Eternal Chaos!

Astuto fired another blast of energy at Rage that was ten times stronger than his
first attack.

Rage: How does this blade work Astuto?

Astuto: The key is speed to this blade, gravity is nothing to the one who weilds this blade.

Once the attack seemed like it was going to destroy Rage he dissappeared and reappeared over Atom.

Rage: Hundred Star Strike.

Rage moved faster than sound itself and unleashed a deadly barrage of rapid and swift slashes that annihalated Atom.

Rage: To easy.

The dark abyss that once was Rage evaporated and now him and Jane stood
several yards from each other preparing for a duel.

Jane: I don't know how you won, but it doesn't matter cause your going to die here.

Rage: This will be over soon.

Jane and Rage moved at each other at swift speed and delivered their deadly strikes attack each other and were now seperated by only mere yards.

Jane: I've never seen a sword like that, how many times did you hit me?

Rage: This blade is extremely light, it makes the one who weild it incredibly fast, and this blade has a sorta of an after image like ability.

Jane: After Image?

Rage: Yeah, one strike is actually ten strikes. I only hit you once.

Jane: So with that blade it was like you hit me ten times?

Rage: Yeah.

Jane passed out onto the the ground while Rage piggybacked Kyle's wounded body.

Kyle: She was a tuff one, huh.

Rage walked over to Jane's unconscience body and pciked it up, then walked off back to Placidità.

Kyle: Why are you taking her with us?

Rage: Questioning, also she could make a strong ally.

Kyle: Mmmmm....Master Rage am I useless ally?

Rage: Why do you ask that?

Kyle: In all our live's almost every one was my fault for our deaths, plus in our more recent fight's, I keep letting the one's down I need to protect.

Rage: Just cause a man climb over all his obstacle's doesn't mean he's weak, that means their's only room to grow stronger.
