Soul Warrior X Episode 26:Snake Strikes, Other one goes down

Narrator: Last Time on Soul Warrior X The Brawl reached its climax, With Terra’s help, Cammy, Dammy, Athron, and Lencelotto got their souls back from Vorvalli. Yet, when all of the other souls tried to go to the afterlife. Vorvalli reabsorbed them into its system however that was not for long. As Sun Bu hit Vorvalli with his Linghong Qujiain Technique to destroy all of the souls that were trapped in the Beast. Depressed over the guilt Shelda had a breakdown as Both Sun Bu and Vorvalli were racing to get to her. After a Talk with Lance. Shelda regained her confidence and fought. However, it was still clear that both she and Lance could not beat those two monsters. So Xeon opened a portal to Tengoku world itself to try to seal them there in order to regroup. Yet, the area he opened to was the land of the Dalcoshion Emperor Tyrant Dalvation. Dalvation then slowly walks to the portal to go through. In a race against time, Lance and Shelda worked together to send both Sun Bu and Vorvalli into the Portal. However, they know in the future if they had to go to Tengoku they would have to fight them again as well as Dalvation. Now the horror is finally over …...or is it?
After finally sealing both Sun Bu and Vorvalli into Tengoku.
Shelda took a few breaths: Phew its finally over Thank goodness
Lance who then appeared in his green ghost form admitted looking just as tired: I agree with that statement
Shelda looked at Lance with a confused tone asking as He was looking at her with confusion in his eyes: Say, Lance. Call me crazy but when you switched with me for me to fire that Supiritto. Was it because you wanted me to land the final blow just to cheer me up?
Lance then looked away annoyed: you're right you're crazy, I told you before I don't care about anybody but G. [Shelda then laughed in a friendly way as Lance then looked at her] what's so funny?
Shelda then pointed to him: sorry it's kind of funny how you're trying to hide it
Lance looked completely crossed: hey I am not trying to hide anything
Shelda then had a smile: alright, if you say so
however secretly Shelda knew that Lance was keeping his true thoughts secret
Jester and Mome: Shelda!
The Soul Warrior halves then turned their heads over to see G, Jester, and Mome with Red and Tigera all run over to them as Jester and Mome then jumped on their sister hugging her as the Lovehearts all then laughed in happiness. This caused the Roger Brothers to also have smiles. All the other students then looked at them including those who did not know as even the bullies had a smile's looking at this, however, Spike was still a bit ticked off secretly about the hole his lovely Shelda and that runt Lance being the Soul Warriors, The Outsiders looked at this as well they were a few feet away from the group
Oumijia then crossed his arms with a smirk: hmm maybe there not parody's after all
Ipushiron then had his arms over his head: surely not. I mean they beat the Soul Destroyer and the Soul Consumer for crying out loud
Geama looked at him confused: don't you mean Sun Bu and Vorvalli?
Ipushiron looking lazy: come on Geama. You know I'm not good with names
Geama then giggled friendly,
however, Vita just looked annoyed: what are you talking about ?, they never beat those two they just sealed them away into Tengoku with that Dalvation thing[ however she then turned her face into a small smirk] but saying that, yeah I'll give them that as a win
the next group was then with Rod, Becks, and Kate who the latter two then said together
Becks and Kate: phew, thank goodness she's alright
they then looked at each other
Becks with confusion: Kate, did you just copy me?
Kate looked at her oddly and  Questioned: no I didn't. I was just worried about her. If you two are indeed from the future then certainly you would know why right?
Becks looked sad as this caused Kate to get worried
Rod admitted putting looking as sad as his sister: no, Kate we don't because we haven't met you in the future
Kate looked stunned for a minute: You, you mean the real me.....won't get freed?
Becks sadly looked down trying not to make eye contact: that's right, we......we never felt your soul energy from anywhere in our time [she then made eye contact and admitted] but maybe since we're in this timeline. Maybe the real you will get freed
Kate then smiled: I like tha......[ suddenly she then felt something as she then looked around and said] oh no!
The Future Siblings looked at a worried Kate
Rod asked her worried and concerned: Kate, what is it?
Kate then started to run: I sense something evil nearby!
The Future Siblings looked stunned by this as they both then followed Kate as they were running towards the Soul Warrior halves trying to tell them. This Nightmare may not be over quite yet. Doing this time in another area of the room Xeon walked up to Master X who was in a group with himself, Timaeus, Amber, Skylett, The Amalgamates, Terra, Ryu who had put his glasses back on,
Xeon apologized bowing: Master, Forgive me for helping to put those two beasts sealed in Tengoku
Master X, however, chuckled while stroking his beard what is there to apologize for Xeon you did what you had to do to save everyone here, and besides [ he then turned his back while saying] I'm sure they won't cause that much damaged....seeing as they are in Dalvations territory
Xeon then bowed yet again to his master
Timaeus then said with a smile: Aye , it still amazes me that both of them managed to hold off both Sun Bu and Vorvalli at the same time. If my brother who was called the God of Fighting was here he would be impressed
The Amazon Warrior looked at Timaeus in union: wait you mean you don't know his name even though he's your brother?
Timaeus explains looking down sadly: Aye that is true lass. The Great Timaeus has lived a long time and his death had happened way in the past. And when you live as long as The Mighty Timaeus has you forget a lot of stuff. Even the name of a brother.
The Amazon Warrior then said in Lucy's voice: wow talk about long term memory loss
The Amazon Warrior in Laceys Voice: LUCY!
The Amazon Warrior in Lucy's Voice: what Lace. I'm just speaking the truth
Ryu looked odd at this and asked The Wise Warrior: say um Desmond....sorry this is a little awkward since you know I'm talking to two people at once but mind if I ask you a question?
The Wise Warrior then asked in Desmond's voice addressing his cousin: sure what is it, Ryu?
Ryu explained looking at them confused like: why are you and Mai with the other Amalgamates still fused. Isn't the threat over now?
The Wise Warrior then shook their head and now in both voices: no it's not. The Anti-Warrior got away from the battle with Sun Bu. Both the Youth and Sting Warriors are trying to find him wherever he is?
Ryu then looked stunned at this: that's right I forgot the Anti-Warrior didn't escape with the rest of the Gateway Movement so do you think he's up to something?
The Wise Warrior then said again in Desmond's voice: that's the best possibility. The Anti Warrior thinks his only goal is to kill the Soul Warrior halves so he would not run away thinking it would mean he was below them. I still wonder why he thinks that?
however, while her soul partner was talking Mai noticed Terra was looking down in sadness a rare look for her
the Wise Warrior then asked in Mai's voice: something the matter Terra? [with that it caught the Geomancer warrior attention with Ryu looking at her as well with Mai asking concerned] you seem pretty down
Terra then nodded sadly: I trained for two years. I.....I wanted to free all the souls trapped in Vorvalli, including Rockla but that.......that fire brained buffalo destroyed them. I .....[she then had tears in her eyes as this shocked everyone because this was indeed the first time they had ever seen her cry as Terra continued ] I COULDN'T SAVE ROCKLA AND NOW SHE'S GONE FOREVER!
Ryu looked at his roommate sad because he knows how much Terra trained to free Rockla and the others he then said feeling bad
Ryu sadly: Terra
The Wise Warrior in Mai's voice: yeah but then again you did save four other souls from sharing their fate Terra [Terra heard Mai's voice as she saw The Wise Warrior pointing behind her as she then turned around she saw Dammy and Cammy hugging each other because Cammy was scared of being inside of Vorvalli while Dammy was trying to comfort his niece. She also saw Lencelotto returning Athron his blade with Rale also hugging her brother glad to see he was alright. Mai continued in a big sister like way] listen Terra. As sad as it is you can't save everyone but if you do save some of them well that's still good enough so just take that as a victory
Terra then looked at The Wise Warrior and said wiping a tear from her eye with a smile: right, I guess that's what Rockla would say to me as well
however unknown to Terra her sword then sparkles a little.
Amber, however, was looking at herself with confusion: oh where did it go?
Skylett asked looking at her with a confused look: Um Missy what are you looking for?
Amber then looked at Skylett and apologized: right, sorry Hun but first off Missy was just a cover up. My real name is Amber and I'm looking for one of my dagger's.
Skylett looked at her: a dagger. I see so you're a ninja from Tengoku right
Amber then put her hands on her hips: you needed to ask that?
Skylett a curiosity: nope I already figured it out. But I just wanted to be one hundred percent accurate in my guess [she then asked her to get back on topic]  so where did you last see that dagger, Amber?
Amber crossed her arms while closing her eyes thinking while revealing: I differently had it before the battle began that's for sure, when I last seen it was........wait?[ she then opened her eyes and stared at someone who Skylett can not see] no, no way how could I ......
Skylett looked at her with another confused and concerned by Amber's reaction as she saw her getting crossed while asking the ninja
Skylett confused: Amber what's the problem?
Amber revealed with anger: I made a mistake that's the problem, Shelda and Lance are still in danger
as she then ran up
Skylett then asked while she ran up to catch up to her: Amber wait!
finally back with Shelda and the Kids,
G with a really happy tone: way to go you beat everyone here!
Jester then looked happy at G: hey you're back to your old self buddy
G again with a smile: yep you're right [he then looked sad for a bit saying] I know Ruby got killed with her brother by The Anti Warrior even after everything Crimson did I feel bad for him two [G said with a smile again] but we'll get him next time no use crying in the rain about it
Mome admitted with a smile with Tigera and Red
Mome: you know as annoying as you two get. I'm happy you two dorks are back together
both the Abbie Brothers then said in union crossly: DORKS
Mome then chuckled friendly as then the kids and the Soul Guardians all laughed together Shelda looking at all five of them playing smiled, however, she then looked at Lance in his green ghost form who had a smile of his Shelda looked at her partner's smile, again they don't always get along but at the same time. They know they can at least work together to save everyone
Maria: Shelda, you and Lance did it
Shelda heard a familiar voice as she saw Maria and Syllektis  
Shelda looked at them gladly: Maria, Sylllektis thanks for your help
Maria smiled back and pat Shelda on the back: no problem, see I know you can do it Shelda you just needed to believe in yourself
Shelda with a sympathetic smile: yeah but I have to confess I almost gave up but then well let's just say I had a good talk to
Maria again happily: that's good to hear [however Maria then sighed as she then looked around saying] but it does look like my birthday party's got trash
Shelda then with a smile as the kids watched: no worries Maria, we've got some time left so you can still have a good birthday [she then looked around and admitted with a chuckle] we may need to tidy up a little
Maria then chuckled in a  friendly way: Ok, And hey there's also next year so fine
Mome with a smile: hey we can help right
G and Jester asked shocked in unison: what!
Mome looked at them annoyed: Hey what do you expect, The more hands the better, or in Tigera and Reds case paws
Tigera then nodded with Mome while Red with the Abbie Brothers looked down as then suddenly
Syllektis with a smile: the Kids are right but before we get started since it's your birthday Maria I would like to give you a birthday gift now
everyone there looked confused by this
Maria then rubbed the back of her head: now that's not necessary I don't really care that much for gifts
Syllektis with a still friendly look: No I insist, It's a really good gift something you can't buy
Shelda looked at Syllektis confused like ......does it seem like she's acting two friendly here as
Maria confused and curious: what gift are you talking about?
Syllektis then strangely had an evil smirk: this gift
Suddenly out of nowhere She then stabbed Maria in the back with a dagger In Front of everyone to their shock Maria was then gasping for air
Maria: a....a....Huff, Puff ahhh
Syllektis  [Snake Zodiac voice]  then whispered into her ear: Happy Deathday
before pushing Maria to the ground near a shocked Shelda who looked at this horrified with the dagger still lodged into Marias back
Shelda then said can't believe what just happened: M......Maria......[she then cried out ] Maria No
Maria was barely alive looking at her friend
Syllektis [Snake Zodiac]  then laughed in a more evil voice: oops did I do that my bad
with that, the two groups ran up as
Amber saw the dagger still lodged in Maria's back: my freaking dagger, I knew it she took it
Kate also looked at this with an annoyed look with the future siblings
Kate annoyed: looks like we got here too late
Skylett looked at Kate: wait what do you mean by that Kate?
Kate looked at Skylett and admitted: I suddenly sensed an evil energy and knew it was from someone here looks like we found the culprit
Syllektis [Snake Zodiac] then looked proud of herself while bowing: guilty as charged, I wanted to strike when you all were celebrating your little victory, I'm SO happy to cut the act now oh looks like I upset the girl half
the rest of the group  then turned to see
Shelda was trying to pull the dagger out of Maria's back desperately: come on, come on Lance help me pull this out
Lance crossed: I am but it's still not budging
Shelda looked completely desperate: then why won't it budge
Amber sadly: Shelda [Shelda then turned to see Amber who looked sad saying not wanting to tell but has to ] just pulling that dagger out of her back is not going to be enough
Shelda worried about the answer: what do you mean Amber?
Amber explained: the dagger also had a poisonous tip. which means even if you got the dagger out you can't save her from the poison
Shelda then looked worried: but what about Cookshi, wouldn't she be able to heal the poison out of her
Syllektis [Snake Zodiac]: which is another reason why I chose to strike now when your battle is over [Shelda looked at Syllektis who explained proudly ] So many people hurt to heal so little time to save her life. I say I did my job right
Shelda looked at her and questioned: your job [she then opened her eyes ] it's you, You're the Snake Zodiac, aren't you!
everyone else then looked stunned at this
Syllektis [Snake Zodiac]  then had an evil smirk: wow [suddenly she then stuck her tongue out revealing a snake like tongue saying more snake like] Took you so long to notice
Lance then admitted: hate to say it but that angel guy was right, I didn't even sense any evil from her
Shelda crossed: but why kill Maria if me and Lance are the ones your after Syllektis
Natura: That's not Syllektis !
suddenly everyone there heard a familiar voice as they all then saw Natura who was running while a blue little ball was flying above her
Rod confused: Natura?
Natura ran up puffing as the ball was floating above her: guys I didn't take part in this because Syllektis told me to follow her and told me everything that happened  
The group looked confused at this
G asked looking at the Nature girl: wait but that's not possible because that backstabber was here all this time
the Blue ball then said in Syllektis voice: backstabber hay I'm not a backstabber
everyone there looked in complete shock
Skylett stunned: Syllektis.....so that's you ?
Syllektis annoyed crossed: of course it's me, while the Sun Bu's attack was going on That Snake sneaked up on me and swallowed me whole as well as digest my body leaving me as nothing but a soul while she walks around in my image with a three buttoned top I HATE THAT!
everyone looked stunned at this as some were even disgusted by the hole Digest thing
Sophina from one of the other groups looked sick at this: blah gross
The Snake Zodiac then laughed again: yes that is true, how sad because being nothing more than a soul you're like dirt, or more like the worms inside of the dirt
Syllektis then yelled at the imposter: YOU LITTLE, IF ONLY I HAD MY BODY I WOULD MAKE YOU REGRET TAKING MY LOOKS
Jester looked puzzled: wait, but then why didn't the real Syllektis come out doing the whole fight
Mome explained seriously: she couldn't. not with Vorvalli wanting to eat souls isn't that right
Natura nodded for Syllektis as
Shelda then looked serious and asked the Imposter: then if you're not Syllektis then who are you?
The Snake Zodiac looked surprised: seriously you still haven't figured it out yet......I'm your nightmare from the past or haven't you forgotten that......[she then said in a more evil and twisted way] Lolette's favorite child
with that Shelda, her Siblings, and Amber looked in a state of shock
Shelda was taking deep breaths in fear taking a few steps back: No....no...no...not you
Kate worried for her: Shelda what's wrong what's the matter?
she then looked at Amber who was looking completely crossed
Amber crossly: So it is you.....the little psycho who killed me before ........Levy!
everyone who knew about Levy had their eyes opened wide so she was here all along and they didn't even notice
Levy then had a sick smirk: now you get it, yes it's me how a funny way to reintroduce myself by yet again killing one of your friends
G looked shocked and admitted: that's the crazy girl who bullied Sis in the past man she's even more creepy in first person
Shelda was so scared to fear just thinking about all the things Levy did to her caused her to have a panic attack
Levy laughing: ha yes how funny is that. Someone as weak and pathetic as you being one half of the Soul Warrior and me being the Snake Zodiac of the great evil small world [Shelda then fell to her knees still in fear Levy again then taunted her saying] and as always you tremble to me, you haven't changed at all you're still a coward who is a waste of blood and sweat and ......
Lance crossed: well you just shut up you gecko!
suddenly everyone there heard Lance say crossed as the other Soul Warrior half said shocked
Shelda shocked: L......Lance?
Levy then taunted with a smirk: hahaha the so called savior of the streets, wow not living up to your nickname all that m.....
Lance looked furious: I said shut up.....
Levy looked crossed at this she did not like being interrupted as the other half of the Soul Warrior
Lance looked crossed: I spent most of my life defending People from idiots who think they're tough but you...... you snake goes beyond that.....the way you took the appearance of another to gain people's trust, you tortured people when you were young just for the fun of it. You are everything I hate incarnated so I'll be the one to put you down
Shelda looked at him worried and thought: wait you can't possibly want to fight her
Lance: I do, someone needs to put her in her place and I'll be happy to stomp on her head for what she's done
Shelda scared: but.....but......she's not like anyone Lance
Lance crossed: you think I don't know that [Shelda looked at him stunned as Lance continued ] I've seen your memories Shelda, I know what this Witch did to you. You know as well as I do that even though we don't like each other we have to trust each other so trust me on this
Shelda at first looked down still scared and worried but then nodded, however, they got interrupted by Levy who said
Levy taunting: ah, ah, ah [Shelda looked at her former bully as then from out of nowhere a black needle got fired from the Snake Zodiac's right index finger and stabbed Shelda right in the arm as the female soul warrior half felt her arm sting a little as then Levy asked in a playful tone] what's the matter, did that sting a bit?
Shelda while still feeling her arm looked confused as Lance looked crossed looking like he figured something else out
Lance crossed: What the, We can't switch why can't we...
Shelda looked horrified by this as she looked at her arm: the needle!
Levy smirk: oh good eye there softy Shelda [Shelda looked at her as Levy explained with a smirk] that nail prevents you from changing with your little boy toy for half an hour, haha, enough time for me to put the first nail in your coffin
Shelda again looked horrified at this
Kate stood in front of them: no you won't kill Shelda and Lance looks to me you haven't been paying attention in Maths
Levy then crossed her arms: ha you think I didn't notice you little soul puppet, of course I know it's fifty six vs one so I got that covered ha, ha, ha [the group then saw as then Levy said as her eyes then suddenly glowed bright yellow] nighty, night hahaha
At that moment everyone there but Shelda/Lance, Amber, and the siblings all then  stood in place as if they were in a trance the ones who were not affected looked  at them shocked as they saw it  was not just the ones who were nearby but even Athron, Lencelotto, Rale, Dammy and Cammy who were on the other side of the hall
G shocked and worried: wow, what the heck, everyone's frozen in place even Gramps
Jester looked stunned as well: yeah, but not everyone made eye contact with her right so how come we weren't affected like everyone else
Red along with the other soul Guardian Tigera with her master Mome all looked as worried and confused until Amber looked crossed at Levy
Amber: That's your natural gift isn't it you SNAKE!
as the rest of the group looked at
Levy explains with glee again: yes, funny enough when the great evil gives me these powers of the Snake Zodiac. He knew my ability to hypnotize people only from eye contact. [She then crossed her arms with her eyes closed ] with the power of the great evil, It increased my ability one hundredfold meaning as long as I am in the same room as they are I can do that to anyone I want as long as I am in the room alive and well
as the kids were looking scared
Amber questioned seriously: then why didn't you do that to just them and not everyone here
Levy then looked up in a smirking way: oh that's quite simple, Unfortunately, This Gift of mines can't affect the Soul Warrior and as for the little brats with their little pets. I wanted to kill their little brother and sister in front of them just for a laugh
the kids all looked scared
Red admitted worried himself: that's not funny
Tigera agreed as she then went back into her little ball: I've got to agree with that
Amber looked annoyed at this: yeah well what about me?
Levy then laughed a little taunting: why did I not want you to get hypnotized?. It's simple really [ she then licked her lips] I want to hear you scream again after I kill you like before Ninja girl
Amber looked completely mad this time: you won't kill me again you psychopathic reptile
as she then ran up to Levy and tried to strike her with another one of her daggers which did leave a scar on Levy's face to everyone's surprise Amber then tried to strike the simply distracted Levy with another shot from it, however, the snake Zodiac then caught her blade as Amber looked stunned by this she then  saw as bits of Levy's skin was falling off revealing another green reptilian skin under it
Levy hissed: you shouldn't have done that [as she then kicked Amber away, however, the Ninja landed on her feet as half of Levy's face was now green and reptilian like with black hair and sharp teeth looking more snake than human
Amber joked: wow, clearly someone hasn't been wearing sunscreen
Levy annoyed hissing as she then tried to strike her: don't you dare mock me!
Amber then dodged Levy over and over as the Ninja then throws some shuriken at Levy
Amber crossed: sorry, but I think I have the right to mock after you killed me before
as the shurikens then cut some of Levy's skin that fell off again revealing more reptilian skin under it. As the others were watching this
Jester worried yet confused: hey what's going on with Levy why is she looking more snakey I mean yeah I know she's the Snake Zodiac and all but......
Syllektis worried: she's changing back into her true form
the group then heard as they saw with the boys in surprise that Syllektis was still there floating  
G looked stunned by this: wha....hey how come you weren't affected by her hypnotism !?
Syllektis explained annoyed sounding: I'm a spirit, I don't have eyes, genus [G then put his hand on his head not realizing the obvious as Syllektis then said more sympathetically] anyways, That Snake has a true form under that skin. She used that form to gobble me up and it's extremely dangerous I'm not sure if Amber well cope, alone anyways
Mome when she heard alone then looked at her sister Shelda who was holding her head in fear as she asked her
Mome: Shelda, aren't you going to do something?
Shelda didn't answer as she looked with a worried face she can't believe how scared she still is, she heard Lance constantly try to convince her to wake up and fight Levy she was also still scared about her friend Amber, however, she then heard a voice she didn't expect
Maria weakly: S.....Shelda!
Shelda looked stunned as she then looked down and saw a still dying Maria who was holding Shelda's leg while on her  front with a serious smile on her face as the kids with Syllektis all sounded shocked saying
G,Jester,Mome,Syllektis: Maria
Shelda was too shocked to respond
Lance admitted shocked himself: got to admit that's tough staying alive for this long after getting stabbed with a poison dagger like that
Maria who was still holding onto Sheldas leg ] Don't ....b......be scared of her Shelda [ Shelda looked at Maria still shocked by what Maria said as her friend continues ] I......I may n....not know what Levy did to you...in the past....b......but you're not living in the past anymore Shelda. You have to stand up to her.....to create a better present and future. No matter what she says you have the power to defeat her [She then looked at everyone in the room as did Shelda as the dying daughter of Rehcaet then had a smile ]I'll admit, I was jealous of how father neglected me as his daughter. But I understand why .....and know he really cares ab.....about me as he does everyone. I wish that if I'm lucky fate will give me a second chance at life but I'm not going to be lucky ......that's......that's why you......you can't be scared all the Time Shelda. You......you have to protect everyone here it's yours and Lance's duty as the Soul Warrior halves ....you.....you.got.....to......
with that Maria then fell down having taken her last breath as Shelda was still speechless as Maria was now lying on the ground lifeless the kids all then looked like they were scared and speechless themselves even Lance looked like he was at a loss for words however it was at that moment Shelda then took a few steps forward before looking at the battle with Amber who was now struggling with Levy Shelda then took a sigh and looked focused as she then ran up to the battle
Shelda crying out in anger: LEVY!
the Snake Zodiac who only had little bits of Syllektis skin left on her turned around and got kicked in the jaw by Shelda
Amber looking at this had a proud look: Yeah way to go Shelda
Shelda then landed on her feet  
Levy looked crossed at her: Hm so when did you suddenly grow the urge to fight back
Shelda looked at her more determined: you know. I think it's the fact Maria reminded me[ Shelda then looked determined saying getting into a fighting position] I can't fear what you did to me in the past when With Lance I got a job to do and I'll fight this fear to stop you and the other Zodiac
Levy then chuckled with her eyes closed: ha always caring about other people hu, such a pure and kind heart [she then tried to strike her with a tail that burst through her legs shouting ] A HEART LIKE YOURS MAKES ME WANT TO VOMIT!
with that, both Shelda and Amber moved out of the way As Levy then tried to hit a powerful Soul Blasts at them they, however, ducked out of the way as the Snake Zodiac then sleeved over and managed to strike Shelda with her claws on her back that was only slightly painful
Levy then mocked: just like old times
Shelda then looked crossed: no it's not
she then tried to kick Levy again, however, the snake then ducked under her leg and appeared behind her trying to hit her with her long tail, however lucky for Shelda Amber appeared from out of nowhere and delivered a kick to the snake zodiac
Amber then gives her friend a thumbs up: you ok?
Shelda nodded
Levy looked completely annoyed at this: you, stupid girl why do you keep protecting her
she then blasts off all of her Syllektis skin revealing her complete reptilian like body which looked like a dark green skinned Snake human hybrid with long black hair, a yellow underbelly, and a long tail Shelda looked at this sudden change of appearance of her former bully
Shelda serious: so that's your true form?
Levy then tried to strike Shelda again who kept barely dodging them
Levy informed them: Yes, after I was cast out of the Thosendale Orphanage. I was homeless, forced to live on the streets like a common worthless rat however that was when he came to me. The one you call the great evil
Shelda then had her eyes opened wide: wait you met the great evil. He didn't just give you your powers?
Levy smirked and annoyed at the same time: of course, he did. The Great Evil then informed me of the Soul Warrior prophecy he then told me he could grant me the powers to kill you [Shelda looked at her as she tried to kick Levy in the head, however, the snake ducked and continued] unfortunately this new power comes with a curse
Shelda then asked concerned for the answer while dodging Levy's strikes as the latter had pinned the former up to a wall
Shelda: Curse?
Levy then laughed: yes, for you see to accept this power My normal body would age rapidly to the point that it will be one year and my old body would turn to dust and I would be stuck as this snake form forever
Suddenly Amber again appeared from behind Levy and then struck her daggers allowing Shelda the right time to escape quickly grabbing her hat that nearly fell off completely before putting her hat back on
Shelda then asked looking at her again while Amber walked up beside her
Shelda confused: but then how did you look exactly like Syllektis then
Levy turned around and mocked: oh that's simple, you see that little dirtball said it before, to slow this aging process down I must digest a woman my age so I look exactly like her
both Shelda/Lance and Amber looked at this disgusted
Amber asked: you......you mean you kill them just to advance your human side?
Levy chuckled: that's right but that puff of dirt is lucky normally I destroy the soul as well but oh well That souls a fast one
Syllektis then said in a worried tone: that snake cow can destroy souls. Ok maybe coming back here was a bad plan
Lance admitted seeing this in his green ghost form: alright That's just sick
Shelda looked at this as if she could not believe what she was hearing: all those lives, they had lives you maniac
Levy then chuckled with a smile: yes useless lives they should be grateful for.....I've given them a purpose
Shelda looked crossed at her former bully until
The Anti Warrior: well well looks like you've already shown up Partner
everyone there heard a new voice that was familiar as then from out of nowhere three purple claw marks then hit Amber in the back that paralyzed her
Shelda looked at this worried shouting: Amber!
however at that moment of distraction Levy then wrapped her tail around Shelda as she had it tight The Kids looked horrified at this
Mome cried out worried: Shelda!
G added worriedly because he knew Lance was hurting two: Bro!
Levy then laughed as she then squeezed tightly: hahaha I'm going to pop you
Shelda was struggling as she screamed out: THIS HURTS!
The Anti Warrior: Oh come on Levy remember to play nice hahaha [the group then saw a familiar face to G's anger it was The Anti Warrior who asked ] sharing is caring after all
Levy then loosened her grip but still had Shelda wrapped up saying: hm ok so go right ahead, partner
Shelda looked back at Levy then at the Anti Warrior asking: Partner?
Lance annoyed: so the Anti Warrior and Levy were working together with the Gateway Movement
The Anti Warrior mocked Lance: indeed, we are you could also say we are what you call ......Kindred spirits yes
Lance looked crossed at him: what the heck do you mean by kindred spirits wackjob
The Anti Warrior then shrugged his shoulders: you'll learn soon because seeing as you are about to die. I think it's about time to tell you and Shelda who I really am
everyone there looked at this as both the Soul Warrior halves and the kids crossly
the Anti Warrior looked at this: oh why the angry look, this is the mystery that you have wanted to find out and I am grateful going to reveal to you why not being friendly to me
Lance then answers for everyone annoyed: hard to be friendly with a murderer like you
The Anti Warrior looked at Lance's ghost self as he then said sarcastically: huuuu I killed someone here, I beg to differ I never killed anyone
Lance looked serious and crossed: this is no joke, you hound face. you killed two people here and you know it!
The Anti Warrior looked at him with a curious tone: ooh it sounds to me who I killed must have been some people important tell me what were their names
Lance looked down annoyed: their names were Ruby who wanted to help G get back on his feet after her brother Crimson who you also killed took my sister away to the Gateway Movement. You murdered Ruby In Front of him and even after what he did to me [he then gripped his hand into a fist as Shelda looked like she felt sorry for the other half of the soul warrior as Lance admitted ] even he did not deserve to watch his sister die .....now I feel bad for him
The Anti Warrior: ah so you do care about me after all why I'm so touched Lancey! [both Soul Warrior halves and The Kids heard the Anti Warrior say that as they were in a look of shock as The Anti-Warrior asked with a taunting tone ] what oh yeah, that's right you thought I killed those two hahahahaha [he then walked with his back turned explaining ] but looks can be misleading because you saw me stab Crimson with his blade yet the reality is......[he then turned around and had a more insane look in his eyes] I .....AM.....CRIMSON!
Shelda gives out a shocked gasp: what?!
Lance looked completely shocked and crossed: your Crimson!
the Loveheart siblings with their Soul Guardians also looked stunned by this revelation with them holding onto Tigera and Red while G just had a blink expression Levy on the other hand had a grin on her face
The Anti Warrior: surprise how's that for a twist, yes it's me old buddy of mine oh did you like the Soul Puppets of the two halves I left you
Shelda then realized in fear: so the soul puppets were both Crimson and Ruby
Levy: Bingo little softy [Shelda heard Levy as the latter then pointed to The Anti-Warrior] the two halves that make the Anti-Warrior is both Crimson and Ruby, however, the latter only has oh I don't know five percent of control in that form
Shelda looked odd at this: what do you mean by that?
Crimson then explained with an evil chuckle: exactly what she means sweet hearted Shelda [as she then looked at himself as he then continued] truly tremendous Technology The dear Doc has, since joining the Gateway Movement he give me something to have absolute complete control over mine and Ruby's Fused form while my deal little sister is trapped inside of our shared mind
the group then looked stunned by this as G was suddenly getting his Dalcoshion Aura
Shelda looked crossed: You......you trapped your sister inside your head don't you even care about her!?
Crimson then put one hand on his chin thinking: hmm let me think about that......not....one .....bit.[Shelda looked stunned by this as Lance looked at this getting annoyed growling like a dog in anger Crimson then said crossing his arms ] of course Little Ruby only recently remembered she is the other half of this fusion because she spent most of the time in that soul puppet being none the wiser ha, she was always clueless even not realizing this Ocarina is indeed her's only remembering when this was a fused body when she slept and when I destroyed her soul puppet [he then chuckled] then again what did you expect after all that useless girl was going to die anyway might as well serve her true purpose as a battery
G crossly: CRIMSON! [everyone there suddenly heard G's voice as the young boy looked furious with his Dalcoshion characteristics around him he annoyed ]YOU.......NOT ONLY DID YOU TAKE CLARE A.....AWAY.....Y...YO...YOU......TREATED YOUR SISTER......LIKE A BATTERY ........I.........I [He then charged right at Crimson saying furiously] I WILL KILL YOU!
Crimson then fired a powerful Soul Blast at the incoming G: Yawn
as then the Soul Blast hit G right in the face with him
G: W.....WHAT?
the young boy then fell a few miles away
both the Lovehearts, the Soul Guardians, and Lance all looked worried at G all saying together: G!
Lance was then speechless at this
Crimson laughed: Wonderful....it seems like when that burned toast beat me up has increased my power higher than even I imagined
Lance looked crossed annoyed: you.....Crimson......you always find a way to sink to a new low
Crimson smirked: I'll sink to any low I can find to have more power than you old friend
Lance looked like he got an idea: is that the reason for all of this power?
Crimson then looked at his hand: Sort of haha, You see you do remember the little fighting class we used to have when we were kids. Who was it who constantly beat who?
Lance looked completely crossed: What so that's why.... you're just a sore loser because I keep beating you. That was the reason you took Clare away from me and G
Crimson then had a smirk kind of laughed: Yes it's not important to you. But to me.....[he then sounded more crossed saying to him] IT CONSTANTLY AFFECTED MY PRIDE AND THAT MOMENT WHERE I SAW YOU CRY WHEN YOUR LITTLE SISTER WAS TAKEN AWAY FROM YOU I LOVED YOUR TEARS WHY THE ONLY THING THAT I WOULD CHANGE IS TO KILL CLARE WITH THESE HANDS OF MINE !!
Lance who looked furious now shouted like a thunderstorm: CRIMSON!
Crimson then chuckled: look at you. you want to hurt me don't you but you can't. I Love that look hahaha...
Shelda sadly: Lance was right about you [Crimson then turned his head slightly as he then looked at a serious looking Shelda who then continued,] I thought Lance was only still holding a grudge after what you did to him .......I thought over time you would have changed [ she then cried out annoyed] but.....but he's right you're just like Levy you're a heartless monster
Crimson smirked: ha you don't hear me complaining sweet little Shelda
it was at that moment when Crimson then fired a soul blast on top of Shelda's head that didn't do any damage but it instead knocked Sheldas hat off as she then looked at it as it suddenly got caught on fire and was burned to a crisp
Shelda had  tears in her eye as she then looked emotionless: my.......hat
Lance in his green ghost form looked confused by this why was Shelda worried about that hat at a time like this
Crimson then laughed: hahaha now that little notice is taken care off you can now pop them Levy
Levy however then had an evil grin: Atchley I have a better idea Crimson
Crimson looking interested: oh what idea is that?
Levy then pointed out: since you took Lance's sister away and trapped your sister in your head  [she then looked over at a scared Mome with Tigera the Snake Zodiac ] how's about you kill Sheldas little sister?
after hearing that both the Lovehearts siblings with their soul guardians looked at this with Mome being terrified
Jester looking crossed: Mome run!
Mome looked at him: Jester I can't leave
Jester warned her: that's not a  request I'll be fine I'll think of something just go
A worried Mome then nodded: Tigera let's go
as she then ran
Crimson interested: hm nice point alrighty then time to go for the kill
as he then started to chase Mome. A not thinking Jester then jumped in the way with Red
Jester: you won't hurt my sister
Crimson then annoyed: I've got no time for you brat
he then kicked Red away which then caused Jester to fly as they both hit the wall Mome didn't want to look back however her horror Crimson then jumped In Front of the scared girl then looked up in fear as The Anti-Warrior then chuckled saying ready to strike her his right hand claws saying
Crimson insane: prepare to join the lost sisters club girl [Mome then hugged Tigera in fear until suddenly Crimson sounded shocked]what.....how did you ?"
Mome heard Crimson say a she then looked up she suddenly saw that her sister had grabbed Crimsons attacking arm by his wrist however Shelda was strangely looking down not showing her face to anyone also surrounded by some sort of pink lighting
Mome looked stunned at this as Tigera then shocked: but wait wasn't Shelda.....
Mome looked back and saw amazed that Shelda had somehow got out from Levy’s tail wrap
Levy then annoyed: how did she escape.......I.....I.....didn't even see her move!
suddenly at that moment, Shelda tightened her grip on
Crimsons arm who the latter yelled out in pain as he then thoughts: Gah what's going on why .......this pain hurts  .....but .....but she's not in her fused form with Lance how is that possible
as he then touched it with his other hand all of a sudden
Shelda sounding emotionless: does it hurt? [Crimson then looked at Shelda who then sounded more annoyed ] does it hurt.....do you even know the true feeling of what hurt means. No, you don't [She then tightened her grip even more as she said annoyed ] you monsters are all alike .......thinking that everyone is just toys and dolls that you can play with .......The Gateway Movement who take souls, Vorvalli consuming other souls, Sun Bu destroying souls, Levy KILLING MARIA AND GIVING ME THIS SCAR ON MY BACK, YOU......YOU TOOK LANCE'S SISTER CLARE AWAY, TRAPPING YOUR SISTER IN YOUR HEAD AND THREATENING TO KILL MY SISTER WHILE ALSO DESTROYING MY HAT I.......I......
suddenly from above them
Angelrika who has not intervened yet looked down though: her powers rising is this .....?
also unknowingly Zhon Gear and the Watcher were seeing this the latter behind a wall
Shelda then slightly looked up revealing her face to look like she had no pupils and was completely crossed to everyone's shock even Lance
Shelda then yelled as a powerful pink Aura appeared around her: I HAD ENOUGH! [Crimson was too distracted by this to counter a knee to the head by Shelda that sent The Anti-Warrior crashing through the ceiling Mome was the most shocked by this, however, Shelda then turned her head to the Snake Zodiac Levy as in a blink of an eye Shelda then appeared in front of Levy who was too surprised to do anything as Shelda then delivered a powerful kick to Levy's head while saying at her] DON'T THINK I FORGOT ABOUT YOU, YOU WORTHLESS SNAKE
as the same kick sent the snake zodiac crashing through the wall also at that moment she then looked up as Shelda saw Crimson fallen back down Shelda then back kicked The Anti Warrior back into the air before furiously looking back at Levy who was so damaged she was barely able to stand and was coughing up green blood she then thought to herself
Levy crossed: I...Impossible, how did......she only made one kick that made contact......where did she get s.......such power [Shelda then looked straight at the Snake Zodiac who for the first time looked terrified of Shelda as the latter then charged right at her Levy shouted on her device on her whist ] HEY YOU FAT PIG BEAM ME AWAY BEFORE SHE GETS TO ME
then a red light appeared around Levy as she disappeared just when Shelda was seconds away from kicking her which made her instead kick the wall down but it didn't even hurt her she then looked up at Crimson before jumping up to follow him Mome while watching this was speechless.....sh....she has never seen her sister this crossed before it was also at that moment everyone who was affected by Levy’s gift woke up as well as the Abbie brothers and Red. back with Shelda after she caught up to the damaged Crimson and then grabbed his shoulders and kept delivering knees to The Anti Warriors face crashing through the roofs after they crashed through the roof Shelda then delivered a powerful kick to Crimson sending him to the playground area
while the Anti-Warrior looked up and then saw as Shelda then stood on him hard which made him spit out saliva Shelda then again delivered a powerful kick that sent Crimson riding the ground all the while Shelda kept jumping on him over and over again until Crimson hit the wall of the sports area
Shelda then jumped in the air and shouted: Supiritto!
as she fired the powerful energy attack at Crimson who had just opened his eyes
Crimson shouting: WHAT THE FUCK!?
as the attack hit Crimson causing a lot of smoke Shelda was still looking furious as the smoke cleared revealing a damaged Crimson on the ground the female Soul Warrior half looked crossed at him then she put her hand out and was about to fire a powerful Soul Blast at Crimson one that's sure to kill him until
Lance serious: Shelda what the heck are you doing?
Shelda then turned her head and saw Lance in his green ghost form as she then replied madly: WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE I'M FINISHING THIS FOR GOOD
Lance looked at her annoyed: are you kidding me, Shelda what's gotten into you. You've done enough to him
Shelda looked annoyed: NOT ENOUGH. SCUM LIKE HIM AND LEVY DESERVE TO DIE
Lance looked at her annoyed: Well you wake up for a sec and listen. We may disagree with a lot of things Shelda but at the same time if there's anything we agree on is that killing anyone is not cool. If you do this then the blood will always be on your hands and you will be like that Scum you were talking about
those words then seem to of gotten to Shelda who then shook her head
Shelda in both anger and in tears: SO WHAT ARE YOU SAYING, LET HIM LIVE DON'T YOU THINK AFTER EVERYTHING HE DONE TO YOU THAT HE DESERVES TO DIE!
Lance then looked at the still knocked out Crimson and crossed himself: no he's not worth it ......he never was, but let me ask even if he deserved to die .....does that include Ruby?
Shelda then had a shocked look: Ruby [she then looked at Crimson and remembered that he was the one in control of his and Ruby's Soul Fusion it was then when Shelda was returning to normal while she then questioned herself] oh my gosh......what....what am I doing? [She then put her hand down looking like she reconsidered it. Lance looked glad that Shelda was back to her old self as she then looked at him saying ] I almost killed someone. I .......I just couldn't take it anymore thanks, Lance I nearly lost myself [Shelda then rubbed her head with her finger before continuing] I am sort of embarrassed, this time It was you who calmed me down and not the other way around
Lance looking at her with his arms crossed: yeah well no mention it so what are we going to do to get him back to Tengoku High so then he can pay for his part in this
Shelda then had her back turned to Crimson saying with a hand on her chin: Good question. I'm sure if we take him back to Tengoku High maybe Skylett or Master X can separate them and free Ruby.....so do you mind carrying them?
Lance looked crossed: hey why do I have to do it, you're the reason we are even here Shelda!
Shelda looked annoyed back: True, but that's because I lost my Temper so it wasn't all my fault. Besides you're physically stronger between us so you maybe able to carry them back  [she then remembered thinking] but then again we might need to wait until that needles effects were off
Ruby: Atchley Shelda that won't be necessary
both Shelda and Lance recognized a  familiar voice as they turned around to see the Anti Warrior was back on his feet only his eyes now looked more purple and both of them sensed a more pure soul in control
Shelda shocked yet glad: Ruby, You're in control of the Anti-Warrior now
Ruby then nodded as she explained: when you constantly kicked Christopher all around the place. It knocked him out and because of the band he got for controlling this fusion our pain is separate unlike yours allowing me to take over
Shelda then smiled: that's great we can now take you to the others and they will know how to free you
Ruby however then turned her back to Shelda sadly saying: I would love that......but it's not possible
Shelda looked odd at this: what are you saying?
Lance then looked like he had an idea: I get it, Crimsons starting to wake upright
Ruby nodded sadly: that's correct.....I've......only got about a few minutes before he takes back full control then I'll be trapped again [she then sounded determined and said gripping her hand] but I'll use what little time I have to help stop the Gateway Movement
she then started to press a gadget on her arm to the Soul Warrior halves confusion
Shelda asked her: what are you going to do?
Ruby reveals again sounding even more determined: I am going to teleport to the Gateway Movement base and destroy their teleporter that way they won't bother you for months that should give you a good chance to finish them all off for good
Shelda looked determined: Right, but Ruby don't worry one day we will find a way to free you
as a red light then started to appear around Ruby
Ruby with a sad voice: I would like that but ......if......if it's the choice between me and the rest, and if Crimson makes us do something horrible put an end to both of us please [Both Shelda and Lance looked at each other before looking back and had a sympathetic nod as Ruby said with a happy voice] good but before I go, Lance can you please do something for me?
Lance looked curious: what?
Ruby reveals sadly: tell G that I know he thinks of me as an adopted big sister to him but I want him to understand if you do find a way to separate us or if you kill me. Make Him understand I'm OK with any option because no matter what I will be free please do  that for me [Lance who was trying to hide the fact he felt bad for Ruby he then nodded as Ruby then said with a pleasant tone] Thank you
as with that Ruby then teleported away leaving both Lance and Shelda alone with those two they started to talk to each other
Lance glad: Pff finally all this is over
Shelda then looked like she was tired: Yeah finally
Zhon Gear: Impresseth power you showed Girl future changing even
Shelda heard a voice as she then turned around and saw with Lance, The Ice Avenger Zhon Gear was standing there
Lance looked crossed and said: Zhon Gear ......wanting to finish us off now that we're weak hu?
Shelda looked worried by this,
Zhon then shakes his head: Have no fear, I will not kill you both today. You both have been through too much, especially you Shelda that it would not be honorable. Besides, I made a promise to Xeon that I intend to keep
Shelda looking confused by this: Xeon
Xeon: the deal was for us to use his plan to stop both Vorvalli and Sun Bu so that he can try to finish you off on another date [both Soul Warrior halves then saw out of nowhere Xeon appeared with his arms crossed ] as well as finally tell me of my past
both Soul Warrior halves then looked
Zhon nodded with a small smirk as he then turned around: that was our deal. However, I'm afraid I can't tell you everything Xeon my options to do so are limited
Shelda confused by this: Limited?
Xeon looked at this with a rare crossed look: what do you mean by Limited Zhon...I have the right to know my past and who are you to me, My Father, Older Brother, Uncle?
Zhon explained with a small laugh: ha, ha, ha none of them I'm afraid yet we do share the same blood Xeon
the three Red Houndons then looked at him with confusion
Xeon asked: same..... blood?
as then a blue portal then opened in front of Zhon
Zhon Gear: then told the rest: As with the promise I will spare you two for today. Shelda Loveheart, Lance Roger but one day I will kill you when you go to Tengoku world [he then looked at Xeon and said] as for you Xeon. True I am Limited in the knowledge I can give you yet I can tell you your true name
Xeon confused: My True name, what's my true name?
Zhon then reveals: Your true name is Zhon Gear!
Xeon looked like he could not believe this and the two Soul Warrior halves looked stunned as
Lance: But that's your name!
Zhon Gear then walked into the portal while revealing: exactly for I am him in the future
Xeon sounded more shocked while yelling: you're me! [Zhon then looked back with a smirk as the portal closed behind him leaving the three of them with questionable looks as Xeon could not even speak ] this.....this all makes sense now, of course, he like Rod and Becks he's from the future ....my future
Shelda looked at him feeling bad: Xeon?
Lance also with a serious look: so what are you going to try to do kill us as well to prevent the future from being as doomed as his?
Shelda looked at him shocked and annoyed a little bit: Lance!
Xeon, however, walked over: that would be true, he is me in his timeline but at the same time I know the future can change thanks to both Rod and Becks as the laws of time travel go
Xeon then smiled at them: So I'm sure that we can work with everyone to create a better one without anyone dying in this timeline [both of the Soul Warrior halves then nodded as Xeon then said calmly] well anyways I think it's time to head back to the rest of the students if you're ready
Shelda then nodded: sure am
Lance with a smirk to Shelda: That was pretty awesome what you did back there
Shelda looked surprised as she heard Lance as she thought to him: what do you mean?
Lance: You know I don't agree with you almost killing him. But the power you showed when you were beating him up like that even I have to say that was awesome I know it maybe too soon but I'm sure Maria would have been proud of you
Shelda looked down with sadness remembering Maria's death but was happy with what Lance said
Shelda asked  thinking to him: thanks so ....does this make us friends or something
Lance calmly: don't push it .....I don't need friends .....but that does not mean I won't have your back Partner
Shelda then looked shocked when she heard Lance say that and then had a smile Thinking: sure thing Partner
Xeon then revealed: alright here we go
as they all then teleported away Leaving behind the horror that had just transpired.
