Chapter 99:
Master And Student, Part 1.

Dorminoss: Alalka: Scorpio City: Scorpion Mansion: Landing Platform.
Theme: Kamen Rider Ghost OST [CD1] 21. 眼魔出現
The coverage clouds above the pale white city of Alalka City was as dark and raging as one could imagine it to be.
Thunder roared across the city as lightning bolts split the sky once more in barely a days time.
Rain hung heavy in the air but the sound of howling winds and roaring thunder did nothing to hide, nor mask the unmistakable hum of the Cruiser and Destroyer class ships that were no doubt descending down through the clouds.
It was a sound that was most welcome in Modernon's ears as both he and Mayor Sting looked up towards the raging clouds above them. Waiting patiently for what they wanted to see.
And there it was.
Slowly rolling through the raging storm clouds were several circles of lights that slowly flowed through each black cloud with ease.
The search lights and trajectory connectors of the small fleet that was now traveling through the fearsome storm.
- Activate the search lights and trajectory indicators! Mayor Sting commanded as the most welcome sound of humming jet engines started filling the air.
A moment later and the search lights and trajectory indicators boomed and clanged to life, surrounding the area around the platform with light that rose high into the sky.
And it was just in time as lightning bolt pierced through the sky not a moment later. The flash of light that followed caused the entire mass of clouds to lit up a brilliant white.
And there, within the clouds was several ship silhouettes, sinisterly illuminated by the lightning bolts flash.
Then the light faded just as fast as it came, casting the dark silhouettes back behind a dark and foreboding foreground.
But not a moment later did the sea of clouds start parting as several small fighter ships descended down from the sky.
Barely a moment after that and a much larger troop transport ship descended in the center of the ring of fighter ships.
Modernon frowned at the sight of the Garrison ships that came down behind the Troop Transport ship.
It didn't seem as if Ceasar brought the entire Tenth Legion with him.
Either that, or Ceasar was either being humble, or The Tenth Legion wasn't that much bigger.
He was honestly expecting to at least see ONE Flagship. One distinctive ship amongst the plethora of factory made and approved transportation and fighter ships that were descending over the city.
- Oh yes. I had forgotten. Ceasar is a leader that actually enjoys journeying with his troops. Modernon spat out derisively, more to himself than anyone else as he watched the small army of ships of all shapes and sizes descended over the city.

The largest ships amongst the whole miniature fleet was a pair of four Dark Cruisers that were staying in the sky at the border of the storm clouds.
And from their undersides, more and more Troop Transports, Garrison ships and Dark Shard Fighter Ships were billowing out and into the sky.
The multitude of ships spread out far and wide across the city.
With the previously mentioned four Dark Cruisers all slowly floating across the sky, taking the point at each major entry point to the city.
And as the Cruisers took their place, the Dark Shard Fighter Ships screeched across the city as they all spread out in every conceivable way.
Six Troop Transporters touched down all around Scorpion mansion. The Transporters either landing on the grass fields at the front, the back, or at the terraces. The remaining ten Troop Transporters all touched down in around the outside of the fences that surrounded the mansion.
The three Garrison Ships split apart as a much larger and bigger class of Garrison ship suddenly descended from within the clouds.
A regular Garrison ship was usually half the size of the main building of Scorpion Mansion. At least in length. Not in width, nor in height.
But this one, the one that the three Garrison ships were moving out of the way off, was easily the same length as the central building of the mansion. And nearly as high as well.
As the S Class Garrison ship continued its descent towards the waiting landing platform, the soldiers and workers were now scrambled to do the last minute preparations for a ship that size. Neither Modernon nor Sting paid them any mind as they kept their eyes firmly on the descending S Class Garrison Ship.
The three B Class Garrison Ships had all evened out their height over the city and were now spreading out across the city. Once again taking a point across the city. With each B Class Garrison Ship descending in a place that would lead to the soldiers within covering the most ground over the city once they were dispatched.

Thinking about, Modernon thought that it was probably Ceasar's intention. To have a quick and easy way to reliably dispatch the most soldiers over the most area.
It was a brilliant move. But Modernon wasn't going to give him the praise for that kind of forethought.
Not when he had kept him waiting for as long as he had.
When the S Class Garrison Ship finally came to a stop above the folded out Stinger Platform, the docking procedure was immediately engaged.
Nearly complete and total chaos unfolded on the platform as the front sides of the ship opened up, waiting for both tubes, connectors, and hydraulics to connect to the ship. And as those things started reaching out towards the ship, the front of the prow of the ship opened like a four leaf flower. And then the central bud unfolded itself like a maw before a wide stair like platform slid out from within the hull.
Alarms and signals were blaring all around Sting and Modernon as the stabilization engines and thrusters roared at full force as the gravitational balancing wells were activated and the air beneath the ship was filled with pressure and energy. At least until the gravity evened itself out and the whole pillbug looking ship stabilized above the mansion.
And almost in sync with the stabilization of the ship, the runway connected to the landing platform with a tremendous CLAAAAANG!!!! of metals bashing together and the mechanics inside quickly getting to work connecting one another to secure one another.
Not even a moment later and the large doors at the end of the unfolding stairs of the runway opened up.
And the sound of marching was heard.
Barely a second later and The Tenth Legion's highest ranking troops appeared at the door and started descending the stairs.
Ceasar marching at the front of the line, his glare focused solely on Mayor Sting and Modernon.
Theme: "Here we are! The shepherd's garrison" - Fire Emblem Awakening
Thunder roared above them and the winds howled around them as The Tenth Legion descended down the stairway. Ceasar marching proudly in the lead, his expression as fearsome as ever.
- Ahh. There you are, Ceasar. Took you long enough. Modernon said with a tired and frustrated growl as he glared at Ceasar, his displeasure at having been kept waiting as clear as day on his face.
- Sting. Modernon. Ceasar greeted in a low, calm voice as he gave each individual man a long, piercing glare as he said their name.
- Enough with formalities. You know why you are here. Modernon said with a dismissive and impatient voice as he waved away Ceasar's simple greeting.
- Yes. To find Exit and The Neo Brotherhood. And destroy them both. That is the mission you gave me. And now I am here to complete it. Ceasar said in a frustrated voice as he returned his cold and nightmarish glare to Modernon. Modernon at least tried to look as if he wasn't intimidated by Ceasar's fearsome glare. By the paling of his skin, he failed to contain his fear at the downright legendary man that stood before him.
- I have already deployed the rest of The Tenth Legion all across the city. They are currently scouting through every corner of the city as we speak. We will find Exit and his Neo Brotherhood. And once we have found them, I will do as you have ordered and deal with Exit myself. Ceasar stated in a firm and commanding voice as he marched forward, forcing Sting and Modernon to move out of the way or join him in his stride.
Behind Ceasar, the rest of The Tenth Legion disembarked the stairway.
- Sheeesh.....What a dreary weather. From ruins to rain. Not really my cup of tea. But oh well. A mission is a mission. Recon said in a calm and sweet voice as she looked around the platform. Where, just like in The Citadel, the other soldiers were giving them a wide berth, with awe and adoration shining brightly in their eyes as they laid their eyes on the legendary Tenth Legion.
But her words had frozen Modernon right in his steps, just as he was about to talk Ceasar about his strategy.
- What did you say?! Modernon demanded in a commanding voice as he whirled around towards Recon as all eyes turned towards the two of them. Ceasar stopped and leveled a downright visceral and murderous glare at the back of Modernon's head as Modernon glared at Recon.
- From ruins to rain. I guess you haven't heard. Which is weird, I certain we had managed to establish some sort of off-world communication before we left. Recon explained in a half absent-minded voice as she put a finger to his chin in thought.
- What are you jabbering on about?! Modernon growled as his teeth turned into fangs and his nails into claws.
And then a hand landed on his shoulder and stopped him from marching up to Recon.
- The Citadel has been destroyed. That was why you were unable to contact us before. Ceasar informed in a calm, cold and unwavering voice as everyone on the landing platform froze at his words.
- WHAT?!? Modernon bellowed in a furious state of shock and outrage as he pulled himself free from Ceasar's rock solid grip.
- It was part of Leonard Hollum's plan to remake The Brotherhood through a baptism by fire. He succeeded, but at the predictable cost of the defamation of Team Value. He and Team Value destroyed The Citadel. But most of Team Value perished in the flames. And before he could do any more harm, to himself or to the survivors of his selfish crusade, I terminated him. Ceasar explained in a cold and detached voice as he leveled his dark, anger filled glare at Modernon.
- Oh.....Well.....That's good at least. Modernon said in an uncertain voice as he looked away from Ceasar's glare.
- But that was not the worst thing that happened. Ceasar said in a low and grave voice as he looked Modernon straight in the eyes. Modernon shivered as he felt himself quiver in his boots.
- And what was it? Sting asked, speaking up for the first time.
- What was the worst thing that happened? Sting asked in gentle and calm voice as he turned towards Ceasar, unfettered by the man's never ending glare.
- That he was inspired and told to do what he did by Environ. Ceasar answered in a grave voice as he focused all his glare at Modernon.
- WHAT!?! You can't be serious!! You can't seriously say that!! He couldn't have seriously have said THAT?!?! Modernon yelled in a dumbstruck and stupified voice as he glared at Ceasar with a look of both shock, disgust, and indignation.
- I am. That is what Leonard Hollum spent his last breath telling me. Ceasar answered gravely as he gave Modernon an appalled look of pure disgust as silence descended over the landing platform.
- That is why once I have dealt with Exit and The Neo Brotherhood, I am going to go back to Darkore and weave myself through the web of corruption and destruction that Environ has no doubt weaved around himself. I will find him all those that he has corrupted. And deal with them. Ceasar said in a voice of cold, resolved finality as he raised a hand to silence Modernom.
- Well.....Well.. First you have to find Exit and The Neo Brotherhood before you can go on your own self-appointed mission. Modernon growled out with a grumble.
- Well.....He won't need to look that far to find me. Kamilitron's silky smooth and frigid voice said from behind The Tenth Legion.
Everyone's eyes widened as they all whirled around towards the S Class Garrison Ship, where Exit stood at the top of the stairway.
- After all. I am already here. Exit said with a cold and cruel smile as everyone stared up at him with wide, shocked eyes.
For a moment, nothing happened.
Then, when every Dak Soldier and every member of The Tenth Legion scrambled to act, something rippled through the air and everyone froze in place, stopping mid action as they raised their guns and weapons towards Exit.
Ceasar bit back a grunt as he felt his whole body go rigid as his blood stopped going through his veins and muscles.
- Exit!! Modernon growled through his fangs as he glared at Exit with a look of pure and utter loathing and disdain.
- Hello Modernon, Mayor Sting. Been a while since last time, hasn't it? Exit said in a low and pleased voice as he practically skipped down the steps of the stairway.
And then, the moment his black shoed foot touched the landing platform, the raging storm above them ceased.
In barely a second, the wind calmed down as the dark clouds turned white and disappeared in the sky. The storm was over before Exit's right foot had even touched the platform.
- I heard that somebody didn't like the rain. Exit said with a smile of childish delight as he practically beamed at everyone that was frozen in place in front of him.
- Modernon, Modernon, Modernon, Modernon. Did you really think that bringing The Tenth Legion here of all places would help you bring me and my new Brotherhood to its knees? Oh please. Not only do I have Alsei on my side. But as you well know, I also have Socelieria and Zaigon back at my sides now. That and some very helpful deserters. And well....You cannot forget who I am after all. You may publically deny who I am. But you know, after all that you have seen, that deep down, I am who I claim I am. Exit chastised in a knowing, scolding and childishly condescending voice as he whirled and danced across the platform. Effortlessly weaving his way through the battle ready masses.
- Injustice......Modernon growled through gritted fangs in disgust.
- Who is Alsei? Ceasar asked in a confused voice as he watched Exit twirl across the platform
And then Exit's blood red eyes landed on him.
- Oh. Hello there Ceasar. I didn't see you behind all of these blithering, mindless idiots. Exit said in a cheerful voice as he gave Ceasar a childish wave. Ceasar had to raise an eyebrow at that.
- So......You are Exit then? Ceasar said in a low voice as he leveled his glare at Exit as Exit walked up to him.
- That's me alright. Am I not how you were expecting me to be? Exit said with a mockingly wide grin.
- You could say that. Ceasar said dryly as he looked at Exit in confusion. This was the man that claimed that the soul of Kamilitron resided within him? This was the man that had convinced Zaigon and Socelieria that it was true?
He didn't see it.
Exit let out a childish cackle as he spun across the platform.
- And I must congratulate you on your strategy Ceasar. But sadly, as brilliant as that strategy is, you won't stand a chance against me. Not only do I have Alsei by my side. That effortlessly predicted your entire strategy before you even arrived....Exit started, his smile suddenly washing off his face as his cheerful attitude vanished like the storm.
- WHAT?! Ceasar and The Tenth Legion yelled in unison as Exit let out a mad cackle.
- Yep! Predicted every last bit of your plan. Down to location and ship. So by the time that your Troop Transport ships open their door, they will find some nasty surprises waiting for them. In the form of my own growing army. And a few nasty explosives to boot. Exit explained in a chipper voice once more.
- WHAT?!? Recon yelled in a horrified voice.
- You're lying!! Ceasar growled furiously as he forced himself to fight against his own still standing blood, only to stumble forward as everyone suddenly found their bodies responding to their brain signals once more.
- Am I? Exit said in a cold and humorless voice as a cruel smile twisted his face as he weaved his fingers together.
Theme: Kamen Rider Ghost OST [CD1] 16. 仮面ライダーネクロムテーマ
The next second, several small vortexes of darkness formed above Exit, rippling through the air.
Each spinning vortex expanded til the center of the vortex was the size of a base ball before the center itself opened up, revealing several scenes where at every Troop Transport landing area stood a couple of Dark Soldiers in front of the opened door. The soldiers of The Tenth Legion still not having disembarked. And Exit's Dark Soldier's throwing explosives around the base of the parked ships.
Ceasar growled at the sight.
- These are not illusions. That I can assure you off. Nor are they just windows. These are actual portals. Two-way portals. You want proof that what you are seeing is real? How about this? Exit with a downright deranged smile on his face as he freed his hands from his fingers.
Then he put a finger to his forehead.
- Men! One of you, shoot up into the air! The other that isn't having their guns trained on their idols, shoot a shot into the portal near you! Exit commanded as the tip of his finger glowed red.
The next second, one out of the three to five soldiers that had their guns trained on the soldiers within the transport raised their gun towards the heavens. While the other quickly spun around, looking for the portal before stopping and taking aim.
- Fire!! Exit yelled as he turned towards the portals.
The next second, several Dark Shards flew up into the air all across the city at the same time as an equal amount of dark shards rushed through the swirling portals and impacted the landing platform.
- Was that proof enough for you Ceasar? Exit said in a low and pleased voice as he turned towards Ceasar as the vortexes' closed behind him.
- YOU BASTARD!!!! Ceasar yelled as he drew his sword out of his sheath and charged towards Exit, everyone in The Tenth Legion following his lead behind him.
Only for Exit to raise a hand and everyone in the legion coming to an abrupt halt once again.
- Don't you dare harm my men!! Ceasar growled as almost every vein his body bulged as he tried to fight against his own body to make it move.
Exit gave him a vicious and uncaring smile as he gave an unapologetic look as he turned back towards him and the legion as everyone else watched the events unfold transfixed.
- If you think I am the man that I claim that I am. Then you know that I will do anything that I have to do to get my way. Exit said in a low and calm voice as he sauntered towards Ceasar and his men.
- And what is it you want?! Ceasar spat out in a dark and fierce growl as he glared at Exit.
Exit stopped and grinned a twisted grin once again.
- Your attention. Exit said with a far too pleased and deranged smile to be any good.
- What?! Why?! Ceasar spat out in rapidly mounting fury.
- You wanted to speak to me. I am here. So now that you are getting what you want, I am making sure that you are listening to me and not conducting any funny business. Exit said in a calm voice as he breezed past Ceasar and the Legion.
- You threaten my men just to get my attention!?! I should have your head for your audacity! Ceasar roared as he struggled to turn his head towards Exit as Exit sauntered towards Modernon and Sting.
And then a deep cold settled over the platform.
- Is everything going according to plan, Zaigon? Exit said in a low and calm voice without turning his head.
- It is. Alsei is keeping the air forces occupied. Socelieria is commanding the ground troops. And Nervan is at the gates. Zaigon informed in a cold, plain and detached voice as he stepped out of the cloud of darkness that had crashed down onto the platform right in front of The Tenth Legion.
- Good. Exit said in a flat voice as he walked up to Modernon and crossed his arms.
- And that, Modernon, is how you win the game before it even begins. Exit said in a cold, scathing and condescending voice as he raised his hand and bopped Modernon on the nose, much to his frustration.
- SILENCE!!!! Modernon spat out in vehement rage as he glared at Exit with a look of pure and utter loathing.
- Beyond talking to Ceasar, what else do you want? Why else are you here?! Modernon growled furiously as he tried to will himself forward, looking as if he was ready to claw out Exit's throat if he could.
Exit did not look amused anymore. Not at all.
- Oh, that is simple Modernon. Exit said in a low voice as he looked at Modernon with cold, dead and apathetic eyes.
- I want the current head of The Brotherhood of Darkness on a silver platter and watch it crumble without its renowned leader. Exit said with a cold, sadistic voice with an absolutely deranged smile on his face as he looked Modernon right in the eyes.
All across the platform, the eyes of almost every soldier widened in shock and horror as Modernon turned as pale as a ghost.
Then Exit took one long step forward and leaned in towards Modernon's ear and whispered:
- Now you know how that feels. Exit whispered in a low and quick voice that made Modernon's entire skin crawl.
He wanted to scream. He wanted to cry. But he couldn't. Exit had a finger on his lips.
Exit leaned away from Modernon's downright trembling form, an absolutely demented smile on his face.
- How do you like it? Exit said with a delighted voice.
- ENOUGH OF THIS!!! Ceasar roared from where he stood in place, only to stumble forward again as suddenly, everyone could move again, even if there were two apparent masters of Blood Bending present.
The moment Ceasar regained his balance, he whirled around towards Exit as everyone drew their weapons and steadied their aim on Zaigon and Exit.
Modernon collapsed to his knees, as white as a sheet and heaving for air as he stared down at the floor while trying to get his pulse back under control.
Exit snapped his finger and every gun in every one of Modernon's and Sting's Dark Soldier's hands shattered into nothing more but parts, bolts, and wires.
- Enough!!! You wanted to talk to me! Fine! Let's talk! On the other side of my blade! Ceasar roared in barely restrained fury as he stomped towards Exit, his asheralith blade drawn and shining in the sun.
Exit gave him a smile that would have given other's nightmares.
- Excellent. Exit said as a vortex of darkness opened up behind him, with the center of the vortex opening up to reveal the courtyard in front of Scorpion Mansion.
The moment the vortex had opened up, Exit backed through it.
Ceasar and The Tenth Legion followed almost immediately after.
- NO!!! You are NOT getting AWAY!!! Modernon yelled as he slammed his hand into the floor and pushed himself back onto his feet.
The moment he was back up, he reached into his pockets and pulled out the golden cube and quickly pulled out the silver case that rapidly grew to its proper size.
- After them Sting!! Modernon commanded as a massive tendril of darkness shoot through the air as Zaigon burst into darkness behind them and flew down to the courtyard.
- As you wish My Lord. Sting said with a hurried nod of acknowledgment before he sprinted off the side of the platform and burst into darkness that formed into a tendril and dove down towards the courtyard.
A moment later and the silver suitcase reached its proper size.
- Finally! Modernon spat out as he flipped the locks and opened the case and pulled out the shark shaped gauntlet.
Then he dropped the suitcase and burst into darkness, rippling through the air before diving straight down towards the courtyard.

Zaigon slammed into the ground beside Exit as he reformed and emerged from the darkness and stared down The Tenth Legion as the vortex closed behind them.
Barely a moment later landed Mayor Sting at the top of the stairs up to the front entrance to the mansion. And not even a second later was Sting drowned by a barrage of darkness as Modernon crashed into the ground beside him and reformed. A shark shaped metal gauntlet attached to his left wrist.
- I HAVE HAD ENOUGH OF THIS!!!! Modernon roared in pure, livid fury as he stomped towards the round courtyard where The Tenth Legion, Zaigon and Exit were gathered, Mayor Sting following loyally behind him.
- I HAVE HAD ENOUGH OF YOUR GAMES, MASTER!!!!! Modernon spat out, his eyes burning with pure hatred and loathing as he glared at Exit with all his might.
- Ahhh.....Poor predictable Modernon. You rattle his feathers a smidge and he pulls out whatever he thinks is his trump card at the moment. Exit said with a pleased voice as he crossed his arms in expectancy as half of The Tenth Legion turned towards Modernon in confusion.
- SILENCE!!!! I HAVE HAD ENOUGH!!!! Modernon roared as pushed the back half of the shark/submarine/torpedo like device on his arm forward until the two sides connected.
The next second, two curved triangle fins folded out on either side of the shark-submarine-torpedo as well as right at the middle.
Then the shark opened its mouth and a handle grip was spat out into Modernon's hand before the shark closed its jaw over the handle.
A red button peeped on the right side of the grip, waiting for Modernon's thumb to press it.
And the moment it peeped, Modernon pressed down on it.
- Are you ready to diiiiiiiiiiiiiiive?! Are you ready to diiiiiiiiiiiiiiive?! The shark proclaimed in a sketchy voice as its black eyes opened.
- YES!!! Death to all traitors! Moderno yelled as he thrust the shark shaped gauntlet forward as he released the trigger.
The moment he did, the shark opened its mouth, its eyes glowing red and roared:
- DEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And the moment that it did, an immense amount of water came gushing out of the opened shark mouth.
The water rushed through the air before it curved around and started swirling around Modernon like a mad and twisted vortex.
A vortex made out of countless sharks and fishes made out of water of all shapes and sizes.
And then the entire vortex was consumed by a massive shark head.
But the moment that the massive water sharp closed its mouth, another, somehow even bigger head of a water made shark swallowed the other with a massive CARRRRRRUUUUUUUUNCH!!!!!!!
And the moment that the massive shark head swallowed the other head, the two heads exploded into a massive torrent of water that howled and roared as it all poured down over the area.
And standing in the center of the area was Modernon.
Or whatever he had become.
Modernon was now dressed in a deep, dark blue, sharp shaped armor decorated with silver details and a thick, scuba like undersuit beneath the blue and silver armor.
The armor itself screamed SHARK in every detail.
Every section of the armor, be it thighs, calves, wrists, shoulders or the arms, had serrated fins sticking out of it.
The chest was made out one massive maw filled with triangle shaped, visceral looking teeth.
The shoulders had what looked a shark going in either direction away from the neck, with the arms coming out from beneath its fang filled mouth.
Most of the head looked like a shark had swum up from behind Modernon's head and swallowed it. The rest of the head was made out of said shark's maw.
Serrated claws decorated the tips of Modernon's armored feet and his black clad fingers.
Torpedos hung off the sides of his waist and decorated the sides of his thighs, calves and his right wrist.
- JAW!!!!!! Warrior of The Seas! Causing Chaos and Commotion! Spreading Fear and Terror! By the Powers that Be! Red Waves and Ocean! JAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- What?! Ceasar said in a stumped surprise as he was pretty sure that he just heard cheering and clapping coming from the metallic gauntlet at the end. Then a low, long, gurgled growl came from the other side of the massive maw of the head of the shark shaped warrior.
A moment later, Modernon moved his head and raised his serrated claws.
- Ocean Warrior......Jaw. Modernon said as he snapped his hand with a simple flourish.
- Go deal with him, while I deal with Ceasar. Exit said in a flat and unamused voice as he gave a simple nod towards Zaigon.
- With pleasure. Zaigon said in a cold and uncaring voice before he burst into darkness and appeared behind The Tenth Legion again and started walking towards Jaw and Sting.
- Now then.....Exit said as he looked away from where the last wisps of darkness disappeared into the air and turned towards Ceasar and The Tenth Legion.
- Hello, Ceasar. Exit said in a casual voice and a friendly smile on his face as he raised a hand and waved towards Ceasar.

Chapter 100:
Master And Student, Part 2.

Theme: 仮面ライダー剣 BGM クライマックスⅢ
- Long time no seen. Exit said in a casual and friendly, but forlorn voice as he titled his head to the side and gave Ceasar a small, much more genuine smile as he looked at Ceasar and The Tenth Legion with sad eyes.
- I don't think we have ever met. Ceasar said in a cold and flat voice.
Exit winced.
- Ouch. Okay. That is one way you could see it. Exit said in a pained, but disappointed voice as his warm expression fell to one of hurt and betrayal.
- I mean it. You claim to be my master. The one that gave my life new meaning. A new purpose. But you are nothing like him. Ceasar said with a dark growl as he stepped forward, sword and shield raised, his already fearsome and dark glare even darker than ever before.
- I have heard that a lot lately. It's strange how some people just can't seem to accept that people change over time. Or that people that they think they know are not how they think they are. Or that they are more complex than they give them credit too. Exit said flippantly as he put his hands in his pockets.
- Yet look at where I am now. With my two most devoted and loyal followers at my side. Believing what I have told them. They have seen me for who I am and what I am. And accepted that in their hearts. And accepted me again. Exit said as he whirled around in place on one heel before he stopped and turned back towards Ceasar, his hands flying out of his pockets as he placed one hand over his heart. Then he shifted his hand to the other side of his chest.
Ceasar didn't move a muscle in his face, nor did he changed a thing about his battle ready posture.
Exit sighed.
- So.....How do you want to do this? In this battle of convictions? All against one, or mano-e-mano? Exit asked in a resigned sigh as he took a step to the right, with Ceasar mirroring the move, his sword continuously trained on Exit.
- One on one. For now. Ceasar said in a low and steady voice as he clenched the grip of his sword even tighter.
- Oh ho hoh ho......Seems like I not only got your attention, but I also got you all riled up for this confrontation with that stunt, now didn't I? Exit said in an amused and pleased voice as he watched Ceasar tremble and convulse with barely restrained rage. If Exit was as powerful as the man he claimed himself to be, Ceasar wasn't going to take any chances yet. He wasn't going down in one strike this time.
- Are you fighting for yourself? For Modernon? Or for The Brotherhood? Exit said plainly as he raised an imperious eyebrow at Ceasar.
- FOR THE LEGION!!! Ceasar roared as he stomped towards Exit, seemingly ready to cut him down as he raised his blade to do just that.
- Glad to know that I know you that well. Exit said with a pleased voice.
- Only a MONSTER would use that kind of knowledge against someone they know!! Ceasar howled as he surged towards Exit, fueled by anger and contempt as he swung his sword at Exit, who effortlessly weaved himself through the air past the brutal swing.
A moment later and the pure asheralith blade sliced through the stone where Exit had previously stood before.
Exit placed his hands in his pockets again and raised a foot to kick. Only for Ceasar to dodge to the side, grabbing hold of his blade and pulling it out in a forward cutting movement. The blade cleaving through the air towards Exit's left thigh. But then Exit spun on his left foot and sent his right foot careening through the air before it hit the side of Ceasar's blade, knocking it out of the way of his thigh.
Exit shock his head as Ceasar was pulled along the arch of his blade, only to slam his shield into the ground and then slam his sword into the ground as well. Then he used the force of his actions and thrust himself into the air, his legs rolling through the air in a double heel kick aimed towards Exit.
Only for Exit to dodge out of the way of Ceasar's attack. But when Ceasar's attack missed, he landed on his feet and rolled over the ground before flinging himself back onto his feet, a feral growl breaking through his lips as he charged towards Exit.
Exit still hadn't taken his hands out of his pockets as he dodged out of the way of Ceasar's swing and shield bash.
- Good. You're focused on me. Exit said in a pleased voice as Ceasar straightened himself back up into a more acceptable battle position as he glared at Exit.
- Now. We can talk. If it has to be while fighting, so be it, but we will talk. And you will listen. Exit said in a low, calm and commanding voice.
- I do not listen to the scum that threatens my family! Ceasar spat out in a furious growl as he glared at Exit with pure loathing.
Exit let out a sigh before several small vortexes of darkness rippled into existence around Exit.
- Very well then.....Exit said with a tried and resigned sigh.
- MEN!!! RETURN TO BASE!!! Exit yelled into the swirling vortexes that circled around him.
Then Exit waved his hand through the air and the vortexes turned towards Ceasar.
Ceasar stopped for a moment as he saw the dark soldiers that held his soldier's prisoner's within their ships jump and look around in confusion. Then they looked at one another, then at the ships, the explosives and then the other again. A moment later and they all disappeared into clouds of darkness.
- Which means that their base is here in the city. Thanks for the confirmation. Ceasar thought to himself as the vortexes closed and disappeared into the air.
When the vortexes disappeared, Ceasar saw Exit remove his finger from his forehead.
- There. Now we can talk. Exit said in an annoyed voice as he looked Ceasar straight in the eyes.
- Tell me what I want. Ceasar ordered in a commanding voice as he gave Exit a frosty glare.
- And what is that? Exit asked rhetorically, raising an amused eyebrow at him.
- The truth. Ceasar demanded as he raised his sword towards Exit once again.
Exit gave him an almost lazy smile as he looked down the end of the blade.
- Let's see if you can last longer than the first attack this time then. Exit said with a bored and forlorn voice as he pulled his hands out of his pockets.
The moment his hands were out of his pockets, the air around them rippled as a stream of darkness spewed forth from the center of Exit's hands before turning into his Darkness Blades.
- Only one person knows that the battle that led to me joining The Brotherhood lasted for only one attack. And that was the man that I fought against. And that man was the man that you claim yourself to be. Ceasar said in a low voice as he took a step backward in preparation to strike.
- I know. Exit said with a Cheshire like grin on his face as he raised the two long and thin, whip like blades. The blades effortlessly cleaving through the air around them with ease.
- BUT YOU ARE NOTHING LIKE HIM!!! Ceasar roared as he rushed towards Exit, a look of pure fury and rage on his face as Exit's smile only grew bigger.

The leader of The Neo Brotherhood: Exit Eden.
Theme: Rival - Fire Emblem Awakening

- HYRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRGH!!!!!!!!! Ceasar roared as he flung himself towards Exit, his sword shrieking through the air as it cleaved through the air in a wide, elegant arch. A bit away, both Reakon and Siniper started cheering as Ceasar attacked.
Exit threw himself backward, his swords cleaving through the air, the swords extending beyond his arms and effortlessly slicing through the stones and dirt beneath them on their arch towards Ceasar. Ceasar weaved himself past the blades as Exit quickly crossed his arms, causing the blades to slide towards each other and cross one another as well, nearly cleaving Ceasar apart if he wasn't fast on his feet. He threw him out of the way of the tendril like blades that continued on their path towards them as Exit threw his arms both outward and backward before he landed onto the ground, the darkness blades twice as long as the distance between himself and Ceasar.
Ceasar was already covered in dirt, but he threw himself of any signs of shock at the efficiency of the blades and dashed towards Exit once more. Exit snapped into action, whipping his arms through the air, the whip like blades snapping and cracking into action as they swished and swooped through the air with ease.
Ceasar slid down onto his knees and heels as he slid over the ground to dodge out of the way of the double slash from the swords. But he still felt how he lost a few strands of hair. Not the actual contact of the blades, just some of his hair falling away.
The moment that the blades passed by him was the moment that Ceasar got back up and pushed away from the ground, propelling him forward as Exit quickly brought his blades back towards him, the blades rapidly decreasing in length as Ceasar came closer to their wielder.
Ceasar let out another roar as he plunged his sword towards Exit, only for Exit to effortlessly whirl out of the way of the sword, sending his own whip like swords careening towards Ceasar. Ceasar raised his shield by pure instincts, but he knew that if he let the blades come close to either him or the shield, he was done for. So he threw himself backward as he felt the blades slice through the air in front of him.
He was pretty sure that the armor closest to the swords had just been scratched, even if the tips of the blades themselves hadn't even gotten close to him. Ceasar bit back a growl as he threw himself another few steps backward as Exit spun around in place, throwing his hands forward, sending his blades thrusting towards Ceasar.
Reakon let out a shout of fear as Ceasar barely dodged being skewered by the rapidly approaching blades that when they failed to skewer him sliced and cut through the air in front of him with such effortless ease that it was downright terrifying.
- Don't move!! This is my battle!!! Ceasar commanded as he spun on his hand and nearly came to a stop when he saw both Sheld and Swout rush to the front of the group.
- He's right you know! This fight is OURS!!!! Exit yelled from a bit away as he spun around and then wheeled his hands through the air, sending the blades slicing through the air towards Ceasar in a rapid, repeating and fearsome wheeling barrage.
The black blades effortlessly cut through the stones, flowers, grass, and soil beneath as if it wasn't even there. They didn't even pull out any dirt with them on their way out of the ground before they went up into the air again before they came crashing down towards Ceasar once more.
- It was during a fight like this, where only one was fighting with something at stake, in their case, their freedom, in yours, your legion, that it happened. Exit explained in a calm and formal tone as he threw his arms forward and crossed them, causing the previously snapping, cracking and wheeling blades to change their trajectory and hurl towards Ceasar.
- WHAT?! Ceasar yelled in a confused voice as he threw himself out of the crossing blade's path, only for Exit to wheel his arms again and throw the swords towards him again.
- The thing that led to Modernon parking his wretched rear on the throne and me gaining this body. Exit said as he dissipated one sword and raised a black nailed hand towards him as he thrust the other hand down towards the ground, sending the sword crashing towards Ceasar.
Ceasar rolled out of the way of the crashing blade, only for his eyes to widen as the sound of a vacuum blasted through the area as the area where the blade impacted exploded into a straight line of soil and dirt.
- It was during a fight like this, though a bit more heated as all parts were equally angry, that I lost. Not intentionally. And I hadn't predicted that fate either. Though I did take a few precautions that would still keep my original body a viable option to return to if this body failed me. Exit explained in a flippant and distracted voice as he continued to only send one whip blade snapping and hurtling towards Ceasar.
Then he lazily extended a finger from the hand he was gesturing at himself towards Ceasar and another Darkness Blade spewed forth from his finger tip.
Ceasar's eyes went wide before he leaped out of the way of the rapidly incoming spear of darkness that came hurtling towards him.
The moment he dodged the spear, the spear stopped and turned into a proper Darkness Blade.
And then Ceasar's widened as one more Darkness blade grew out of each remaining finger on Exit's gesturing hand.
Exit smile actually frightening him now.
Especially when Exit started cackling and skipped forward, his swatting his five sword hand through the air, sending five whip like swords snapping and hurtling towards Ceasar.
Ceasar let out a yell of shock as he threw himself out of the way of the barrage of black blades, only to whirl around in place to dodge the sword from Exit's other hand that had come dangerously close to his throat.
- My host and I were fighting. Quite fiercely and quite brutally I might add. And in a last ditch effort to beat me, the man that became my host jumped at me as I was about to finish of his companion. We fought in the air, bathed in our respective elements. Light and Darkness. Exit explained in a casual voice as he threw his one blade wielding hand through the air, a new blade bursting forth from each of the finger tips as Exit leaped towards Ceasar, a manic grin on his face.
- What?! What are you talking about?! Ceasar yelled in a hurried and confused voice as he dodged out of the way as fast as he could out of the fearsome onslaught of darkness blades that hurtled towards him at dizzying speeds.
- Mind meld. Well, a mind and soul meld to be more precise. Exit said as he waved his hand through the air and five of the ten blades that had been hounding Ceasar's progress towards Exit disappeared into wisps of darkness.
Ceasar came to an abrupt halt as he registered Exit's words.
- My soul into the mind of my new host. Well, the part of my soul that was actually in my body that is. Exit said with a cheerful voice as he pointed towards his head before he lowered his hand towards his face, where a deranged smile was decorating his lips.
- WHAT?! Ceasar yelled in a shocked and horrified voice as he dodged out of the way of Exit's fearsome blade barrage, even if he was only lazily weaving his sword wielding hand through the air at this point.
Exit's eyes widened for a moment.
- Whoops! Did I just say that last bit out loud?! Exit said in a surprised and panicked voice.
- But anyway! Exit yelled as he thrust his gesturing hand towards Ceasar and sent five Darkness Blades hurtling towards Ceasar once more, ready to skewer him on a spear with ease.
Ceasar quickly dove down to the ground and rolled across it as Exit lowered his fingers to let the blades cut through him as he rolled under them. But the blades sliced through the grass and soil instead.
- That was what happened. In a moment of open weakness, I bumped my head against my new host's own head the moment we crashed against a roof. And then I found myself in a body of flesh and blood once more. For the first time in over 30 years!!! True and Pure! REAL FLESH AND BLOOD!!!! Exit explained before his smile became downright manic as delight and joy lit up in his crimson eyes before he whirled around in place, swooping his hands through the air and sending a wave of ten darkness blades cavalcading towards Ceasar.
Ceasar threw himself out of the way as the blades ripped through the air the ground where he just knelt with such frightening efficiency that Ceasar had to hold back a shiver. The gauges in the soil were no wider than an inch. If that. Yet they cut through everything with such effortless ease that Ceasar feared what they would do to flesh.
- A mind and soul meld. You took a body that wasn't yours. I always expected that my master would face death with dignity instead of trying to escape its clutches. Ceasar said in a low and disgusted voice as he threw himself out of the way of the double five blade barrage that came raining down towards him. The darkness blades snapping and cracking through the air as they curled downwards like scythes and hooks before they sliced through the ground where Ceasar had just run past.
- Well.....Some people aren't as accepting of their mortality as others. Besides. It was a happy accident. An accident that beyond a few problems are nothing but a boon for me. Exit said in a detached and uncaring voice as he closed his eyes for a moment and lowered his head while slashing and weaving his hands through the air, sending the darkness blades hurtling and whirling through the air around him. Then he opened his eyes and raised his head and threw his hands through the air, sending the blades rolling and snapping across the grass towards Ceasar.
- You're toying with me. You could end this farce of a fight whenever you want to. Yet you haven't. You're waiting for me to come to you to strike me down. If that now is what you want. But given the size of your new organization, I doubt it. Ceasar said in a cold and analytical voice as he glared at Exit, his eyes filled with disgust and disdain.
- Correct on all accounts. Exit said cheerfully as he clapped his hands in praise, a wide, gleeful smile on his face.
Then he thrust his hands forward and sent ten darkness blades hurtling towards Ceasar again.
Only for none of the spear like blades to reach Ceasar before they dissipated into wisps of darkness.
- What?! Exit yelled in shock as Ceasar's eyes widened as he saw the dark spears disappear into the air.
- What the hell?! Exit yelled as he looked at his hand, only for his eyes to widen at the sight of the veins in his hands glowing gold.
- What the? Ceasar asked in confusion as he saw more and more and veins on Exit start glowing a bright gold.
Theme: Gotham (OST) 3x14 Nygma Shoots Penguin
And for the first time, Exit seemed to lose his ever underlying calm.
His smile vanished on his face. But this time, it wasn't replaced with a blank, apathetic and cold expression.
This time, it turned into an expression of rapidly growing fear and horror.
- No.....No...No.....No....Exit said in a low, frightened voice as he watched more and more veins in his hands start glowing.
Then he trailed the veins in his hands down to his wrists, only to see more and more veins glowing there.
Slowly turning his head to his other arm, Exit's expression only grew more and more horrified as he watched of his very own skin began to glow.
- What is he doing? Reakon asked as she and Swout pulled out a pair of binoculars and zoomed in on Exit.
- What are you doing? Ceasar demanded in a cautious voice as she slowly edged himself towards Exit, who didn't even seem to notice his approach as he focused on his gently glowing hands.
- I won't.....Exit said in a small, frightened voice as he watched how his hands began radiating light.
First a little, then as he saw it, it became more and more.
- Light? Ceasar asked in a low voice as Exit staggered backward as his skin began to glow.
- I won't become you......Exit whined in a low, frightened whine as he staggered backward, his whole body quivering.
- Master? Zaigon said in a low and concerned voice as he turned away from his battle with Jaw and Sting.
- I will never become you....Exit said in a broken and trembling voice, his whole body shaking as all of his skin was now glowing.
- What are you on about? Ceasar demanded as he raised his blade towards Exit, only for Exit to look at him without a hint of recognition in his eyes.
- I will never become yours......Exit said in a voice that was not his own.
Ceasar's eyes widened for a moment before he calmed himself and gave Exit a raised eyebrow.
- NO!!!!! Exit roared as he flung himself back, away from Ceasar.
Ceasar pounced towards him, but the moment that he came close, Exit stopped radiating light.
Instead, he exploded into a massive shower of light.
- HYRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Exit roared as he suddenly burst into a massive shower of light.
Jets of light burst forth from his arms, swallowing his arms whole as his eyes, mouth, nose, and ears lit up a bright, blinding white as he screamed.
- NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!! Exit roared as his head exploded into a massive upward stream of golden light and blazing, golden flames, coupled with searing white, light.
- What the hell!!!!??? Ceasar yelled as he raised his shield to shield his eyes as massive waves of light washed across the courtyard in tremendous waves.
All across the mansion, everyone turned towards the horrific, blood-curdling screams.
And if the screams did not catch their attention, then the sudden onslaught of blinding, painful and searing golden light suddenly flooding the courtyard of the mansion most certainly did.
- HYRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Exit howled and roared from within the light as his pale skin was pealed away by the burning golden flames that licked his skin, turning it tan.
Exit couldn't even grab his head as his hair burst into a massive tower of golden flames that spewed forth and soared high into the air as countless waves of the brilliant and magnificent light rolled across the city.
- HRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Exit roared with two voices before he suddenly collapsed.
And so did the massive onslaught of nearly unrelenting darkness, that, the moment that Exit collapsed, caved in on itself all at once with an SCARARARARARASKSRARARRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and a blinding flash.

And then there was silence.
Long, deep, deafening and nearly suffocating silence followed the sudden explosion of light that washed across the city in one massive wave.

Ceasar was the first one that came out of their hiding place.
And he was still the man closest to the source.
He looked around the courtyard.
The grass around Exit's collapsed form was scorched to a cinder.
Every last straw of grass was burned. Ash and charcoal covered the ground as the soil beneath Ceasar's feet were hard as he made his way towards the soot and ash filled circle where Exit's collapsed form laid.
But the man that laid in the center of the soot was not Exit.
He wore his clothes, so he had to be, but he wasn't him.
Exit was pale, his hair short, frail looking and as black as oil. This man was tan. His hair long, luscious and spiky. And as golden blonde as the sun itself and the light that had washed across the entirety of the city. And he was alive, as Ceasar heard him breathing.
The man wearing Exit's clothes awoke with a start and opened his eyes that were a startling Emerald Green.
- Im.....free? The golden haired man wearing Exit's clothes said as he tentatively looked around the place, only to turn around towards Ceasar when he heard the wisp of his blade. Then he froze when he saw Ceasar's asheralith sword aimed at him.
- Who.......Are you? Ceasar asked in a low, demanding and speculative voice as he looked down at the golden haired, green eyed man at the other end of his sword. He asked both the man that Exit was, the man that he had become and Exit himself. Because now, he genuinely didn't know anymore.
The golden haired, green eyed man looked up from the tip of his blade and looked him in the eyes with a frightened, confused and fear filled voice:
- Antz-o-in Lightwalker. Antz-o-in answered from the other side of his blade.

Transmission Closed.

Theme: Attack on Titan - Great Escape (English Cover Song) [2nd Ending] - NateWantsToBattle

The floor rushed by beneath a pair of running feet.

Antz-o-in hurried through the dark corridors of the ruined castle, an expression of desperation and panic on his face, the shadows behind him hounding his every step.
- If we suppose that I am....
Antz-o-in continued running through the corridor, his breath labored, his heart racing as he ran as fast he could through the corridors.
- ...not who I say.
Every window and mirror he ran past, Exit cackled, his red eyes glowing in the darkness of the castle.
- Can you say with certainty....
Antz-o-in's eyes widened as he came to a sudden stop before a mirror covered door that instead of reflecting Exit, reflected himself, but with black hair and red eyes.
- ...that you're even yourself?
Antz-o-in watched his reflection as he slowly looked at himself and then looked back at the mirror door. And saw Antz-o-in reflected in the mirror instead. When he looked down at himself again, he was Exit, but with blonde hair and green eyes.
- Will you be able....
Antz-o-in roared in fury and smashed through the mirror door, shattering it beneath his fist, his eyes closed as he drove through the rain of shards before he took down the corridor in a mad sprint beyond the door.
- ...to pick up the mess you've made...
Antz-o-in kept his eyes closed as he continued to run through the corridor, tears falling off his cheeks as the shattered mirror fell to the floor, the all-consuming shadows rushing past the broken door towards him.
- ....once your heart just....
Antz-o-in opened his eyes again as light shone through the windows when he looked through the passing window, he saw the world through eyes of a stranger. Himself.
- ...falls apart like it's sand?
Robin was interacting with him, helping Antz-o-in recover his strength. And it froze Antz-o-in on the spot, his heart breaking at the sight of it, the shadows racing towards him as he clutched his heart in despair.
- I hear someone....
Antz-o-in whirled around as a hundred blood red eyes started glowing in the darkness around him as the window shook as a cackle echoed throughout the castle.
- ...calling out my name.
All around him, the red-eyed shadows formed into replicas of everyone that Antz-o-in knew, all with the blood red eyes, all of them calling out towards him.
- It rings in my ears...
Antz-o-in looked around the group that surrounded him, his eyes wide in shock as each and every one of them transformed into a laughing Exit.
- ....it's driving me insane.
Antz-o-in screamed into the darkness as he clutched his head, shaking it in denial as he collapsed to his knees as all the Exit's twitched and jerked splitting into five before reforming again.
- Time has frozen....
Antz-o-in opened his eyes again as he turned around, still clutching his head as every one of the shadows continued laughing and calling his name.
- ...right around my head.
Beyond the round window in the wall, Robin was still helping Antz-o-in recover, all while Antz-o-in watched from inside his eyes.
- I need you to wake me up.
Antz-o-in shouted, pleaded and roared towards the window, banging his fists against the glass as the shadows continued laughing. Antz-o-in's eyes widened and Robin panicked as he swayed on his feet.
- I began...
Antz-o-in cried as he laid his hand against the unyielding window, his tears running down his cheek and onto the glass as Robin continued helped Antz-o-in regain his footing. But then Antz-o-in clenched his fists and opened his eyes.
- ...to walk straight through....
Antz-o-in opened his eyes and pushed himself off the window, slowly rising to his feet and turning back towards the laughing crowd and then starting to walk towards it.
- ...The deepest dark abyss.
And then he started running, the crowd parting around him as he ran.
- Swiftly like a gale...
The shadows rushed past him, but the darkness that had consumed the castle never receding as he ran deeper into the darkness.
- ...I knew I must escape this.
And then, much to the shadows shock, Antz-o-in turned around and started running straight towards the window once more.
- I felt as if...
The shadows rushed towards him, clamoring towards him, their arms reaching at him as he continued to run, his intention clear to them as he sprinted through the corridor, a determined expression on his face.
- ...my rotting corpse had...
The moment that Antz-o-in came close to the window, he leaped off the floor, the shadows parting ways before him. Smiles on their faces.
- ...had risen back to life.
Antz-o-in hit the window and the window shattered beneath him. Antz-o-in screamed, black tears running down his cheeks as he clutched his head as he collapsed to the floor, Robin hurrying to his side in panic.
- And now's the time...
Antz-o-in flew through the air and into the light, the world forming around him.
- ...we break through our walls.
Robin called for help as Antz-o-in continued to scream and cry.
- Unite these different worlds.
And then Antz-o-in burst into light before the light was swallowed by darkness. The world of light that Antz-o-in flew through was filled with darkness before a light consumed the darkness.
- Before they take it for them.
When Antz-o-in opened his eyes again, he was back inside the black corridors of the opened castle.
Beyond the black windows, the world continued to move.
In one blink, Sam, Craig, Alex, Zaram and Zack rushed into Antz-o-in's room to help Robin with Antz-o-in.
In another, Exit stood in a blood covered room over their corpses.
Darkness filled the room and Exit smiled a twisted smile.
Beyond his red eyes, Antz-o-in screamed as he disappeared into the abyss of darkness.

Chapter 99:
Master And Student, Part 1.

Dorminoss: Alalka: Scorpio City: Scorpion Mansion: Landing Platform.
Theme: Kamen Rider Ghost OST [CD1] 21. 眼魔出現
The coverage clouds above the pale white city of Alalka City was as dark and raging as one could imagine it to be.
Thunder roared across the city as lightning bolts split the sky once more in barely a days time.
Rain hung heavy in the air but the sound of howling winds and roaring thunder did nothing to hide, nor mask the unmistakable hum of the Cruiser and Destroyer class ships that were no doubt descending down through the clouds.
It was a sound that was most welcome in Modernon's ears as both he and Mayor Sting looked up towards the raging clouds above them. Waiting patiently for what they wanted to see.
And there it was.
Slowly rolling through the raging storm clouds were several circles of lights that slowly flowed through each black cloud with ease.
The search lights and trajectory connectors of the small fleet that was now traveling through the fearsome storm.
- Activate the search lights and trajectory indicators! Mayor Sting commanded as the most welcome sound of humming jet engines started filling the air.
A moment later and the search lights and trajectory indicators boomed and clanged to life, surrounding the area around the platform with light that rose high into the sky.
And it was just in time as lightning bolt pierced through the sky not a moment later. The flash of light that followed caused the entire mass of clouds to lit up a brilliant white.
And there, within the clouds was several ship silhouettes, sinisterly illuminated by the lightning bolts flash.
Then the light faded just as fast as it came, casting the dark silhouettes back behind a dark and foreboding foreground.
But not a moment later did the sea of clouds start parting as several small fighter ships descended down from the sky.
Barely a moment after that and a much larger troop transport ship descended in the center of the ring of fighter ships.
Modernon frowned at the sight of the Garrison ships that came down behind the Troop Transport ship.
It didn't seem as if Ceasar brought the entire Tenth Legion with him.
Either that, or Ceasar was either being humble, or The Tenth Legion wasn't that much bigger.
He was honestly expecting to at least see ONE Flagship. One distinctive ship amongst the plethora of factory made and approved transportation and fighter ships that were descending over the city.
- Oh yes. I had forgotten. Ceasar is a leader that actually enjoys journeying with his troops. Modernon spat out derisively, more to himself than anyone else as he watched the small army of ships of all shapes and sizes descended over the city.

The largest ships amongst the whole miniature fleet was a pair of four Dark Cruisers that were staying in the sky at the border of the storm clouds.
And from their undersides, more and more Troop Transports, Garrison ships and Dark Shard Fighter Ships were billowing out and into the sky.
The multitude of ships spread out far and wide across the city.
With the previously mentioned four Dark Cruisers all slowly floating across the sky, taking the point at each major entry point to the city.
And as the Cruisers took their place, the Dark Shard Fighter Ships screeched across the city as they all spread out in every conceivable way.
Six Troop Transporters touched down all around Scorpion mansion. The Transporters either landing on the grass fields at the front, the back, or at the terraces. The remaining ten Troop Transporters all touched down in around the outside of the fences that surrounded the mansion.
The three Garrison Ships split apart as a much larger and bigger class of Garrison ship suddenly descended from within the clouds.
A regular Garrison ship was usually half the size of the main building of Scorpion Mansion. At least in length. Not in width, nor in height.
But this one, the one that the three Garrison ships were moving out of the way off, was easily the same length as the central building of the mansion. And nearly as high as well.
As the S Class Garrison ship continued its descent towards the waiting landing platform, the soldiers and workers were now scrambled to do the last minute preparations for a ship that size. Neither Modernon nor Sting paid them any mind as they kept their eyes firmly on the descending S Class Garrison Ship.
The three B Class Garrison Ships had all evened out their height over the city and were now spreading out across the city. Once again taking a point across the city. With each B Class Garrison Ship descending in a place that would lead to the soldiers within covering the most ground over the city once they were dispatched.

Thinking about, Modernon thought that it was probably Ceasar's intention. To have a quick and easy way to reliably dispatch the most soldiers over the most area.
It was a brilliant move. But Modernon wasn't going to give him the praise for that kind of forethought.
Not when he had kept him waiting for as long as he had.
When the S Class Garrison Ship finally came to a stop above the folded out Stinger Platform, the docking procedure was immediately engaged.
Nearly complete and total chaos unfolded on the platform as the front sides of the ship opened up, waiting for both tubes, connectors, and hydraulics to connect to the ship. And as those things started reaching out towards the ship, the front of the prow of the ship opened like a four leaf flower. And then the central bud unfolded itself like a maw before a wide stair like platform slid out from within the hull.
Alarms and signals were blaring all around Sting and Modernon as the stabilization engines and thrusters roared at full force as the gravitational balancing wells were activated and the air beneath the ship was filled with pressure and energy. At least until the gravity evened itself out and the whole pillbug looking ship stabilized above the mansion.
And almost in sync with the stabilization of the ship, the runway connected to the landing platform with a tremendous CLAAAAANG!!!! of metals bashing together and the mechanics inside quickly getting to work connecting one another to secure one another.
Not even a moment later and the large doors at the end of the unfolding stairs of the runway opened up.
And the sound of marching was heard.
Barely a second later and The Tenth Legion's highest ranking troops appeared at the door and started descending the stairs.
Ceasar marching at the front of the line, his glare focused solely on Mayor Sting and Modernon.
Theme: "Here we are! The shepherd's garrison" - Fire Emblem Awakening
Thunder roared above them and the winds howled around them as The Tenth Legion descended down the stairway. Ceasar marching proudly in the lead, his expression as fearsome as ever.
- Ahh. There you are, Ceasar. Took you long enough. Modernon said with a tired and frustrated growl as he glared at Ceasar, his displeasure at having been kept waiting as clear as day on his face.
- Sting. Modernon. Ceasar greeted in a low, calm voice as he gave each individual man a long, piercing glare as he said their name.
- Enough with formalities. You know why you are here. Modernon said with a dismissive and impatient voice as he waved away Ceasar's simple greeting.
- Yes. To find Exit and The Neo Brotherhood. And destroy them both. That is the mission you gave me. And now I am here to complete it. Ceasar said in a frustrated voice as he returned his cold and nightmarish glare to Modernon. Modernon at least tried to look as if he wasn't intimidated by Ceasar's fearsome glare. By the paling of his skin, he failed to contain his fear at the downright legendary man that stood before him.
- I have already deployed the rest of The Tenth Legion all across the city. They are currently scouting through every corner of the city as we speak. We will find Exit and his Neo Brotherhood. And once we have found them, I will do as you have ordered and deal with Exit myself. Ceasar stated in a firm and commanding voice as he marched forward, forcing Sting and Modernon to move out of the way or join him in his stride.
Behind Ceasar, the rest of The Tenth Legion disembarked the stairway.
- Sheeesh.....What a dreary weather. From ruins to rain. Not really my cup of tea. But oh well. A mission is a mission. Recon said in a calm and sweet voice as she looked around the platform. Where, just like in The Citadel, the other soldiers were giving them a wide berth, with awe and adoration shining brightly in their eyes as they laid their eyes on the legendary Tenth Legion.
But her words had frozen Modernon right in his steps, just as he was about to talk Ceasar about his strategy.
- What did you say?! Modernon demanded in a commanding voice as he whirled around towards Recon as all eyes turned towards the two of them. Ceasar stopped and leveled a downright visceral and murderous glare at the back of Modernon's head as Modernon glared at Recon.
- From ruins to rain. I guess you haven't heard. Which is weird, I certain we had managed to establish some sort of off-world communication before we left. Recon explained in a half absent-minded voice as she put a finger to his chin in thought.
- What are you jabbering on about?! Modernon growled as his teeth turned into fangs and his nails into claws.
And then a hand landed on his shoulder and stopped him from marching up to Recon.
- The Citadel has been destroyed. That was why you were unable to contact us before. Ceasar informed in a calm, cold and unwavering voice as everyone on the landing platform froze at his words.
- WHAT?!? Modernon bellowed in a furious state of shock and outrage as he pulled himself free from Ceasar's rock solid grip.
- It was part of Leonard Hollum's plan to remake The Brotherhood through a baptism by fire. He succeeded, but at the predictable cost of the defamation of Team Value. He and Team Value destroyed The Citadel. But most of Team Value perished in the flames. And before he could do any more harm, to himself or to the survivors of his selfish crusade, I terminated him. Ceasar explained in a cold and detached voice as he leveled his dark, anger filled glare at Modernon.
- Oh.....Well.....That's good at least. Modernon said in an uncertain voice as he looked away from Ceasar's glare.
- But that was not the worst thing that happened. Ceasar said in a low and grave voice as he looked Modernon straight in the eyes. Modernon shivered as he felt himself quiver in his boots.
- And what was it? Sting asked, speaking up for the first time.
- What was the worst thing that happened? Sting asked in gentle and calm voice as he turned towards Ceasar, unfettered by the man's never ending glare.
- That he was inspired and told to do what he did by Environ. Ceasar answered in a grave voice as he focused all his glare at Modernon.
- WHAT!?! You can't be serious!! You can't seriously say that!! He couldn't have seriously have said THAT?!?! Modernon yelled in a dumbstruck and stupified voice as he glared at Ceasar with a look of both shock, disgust, and indignation.
- I am. That is what Leonard Hollum spent his last breath telling me. Ceasar answered gravely as he gave Modernon an appalled look of pure disgust as silence descended over the landing platform.
- That is why once I have dealt with Exit and The Neo Brotherhood, I am going to go back to Darkore and weave myself through the web of corruption and destruction that Environ has no doubt weaved around himself. I will find him all those that he has corrupted. And deal with them. Ceasar said in a voice of cold, resolved finality as he raised a hand to silence Modernom.
- Well.....Well.. First you have to find Exit and The Neo Brotherhood before you can go on your own self-appointed mission. Modernon growled out with a grumble.
- Well.....He won't need to look that far to find me. Kamilitron's silky smooth and frigid voice said from behind The Tenth Legion.
Everyone's eyes widened as they all whirled around towards the S Class Garrison Ship, where Exit stood at the top of the stairway.
- After all. I am already here. Exit said with a cold and cruel smile as everyone stared up at him with wide, shocked eyes.
For a moment, nothing happened.
Then, when every Dak Soldier and every member of The Tenth Legion scrambled to act, something rippled through the air and everyone froze in place, stopping mid action as they raised their guns and weapons towards Exit.
Ceasar bit back a grunt as he felt his whole body go rigid as his blood stopped going through his veins and muscles.
- Exit!! Modernon growled through his fangs as he glared at Exit with a look of pure and utter loathing and disdain.
- Hello Modernon, Mayor Sting. Been a while since last time, hasn't it? Exit said in a low and pleased voice as he practically skipped down the steps of the stairway.
And then, the moment his black shoed foot touched the landing platform, the raging storm above them ceased.
In barely a second, the wind calmed down as the dark clouds turned white and disappeared in the sky. The storm was over before Exit's right foot had even touched the platform.
- I heard that somebody didn't like the rain. Exit said with a smile of childish delight as he practically beamed at everyone that was frozen in place in front of him.
- Modernon, Modernon, Modernon, Modernon. Did you really think that bringing The Tenth Legion here of all places would help you bring me and my new Brotherhood to its knees? Oh please. Not only do I have Alsei on my side. But as you well know, I also have Socelieria and Zaigon back at my sides now. That and some very helpful deserters. And well....You cannot forget who I am after all. You may publically deny who I am. But you know, after all that you have seen, that deep down, I am who I claim I am. Exit chastised in a knowing, scolding and childishly condescending voice as he whirled and danced across the platform. Effortlessly weaving his way through the battle ready masses.
- Injustice......Modernon growled through gritted fangs in disgust.
- Who is Alsei? Ceasar asked in a confused voice as he watched Exit twirl across the platform
And then Exit's blood red eyes landed on him.
- Oh. Hello there Ceasar. I didn't see you behind all of these blithering, mindless idiots. Exit said in a cheerful voice as he gave Ceasar a childish wave. Ceasar had to raise an eyebrow at that.
- So......You are Exit then? Ceasar said in a low voice as he leveled his glare at Exit as Exit walked up to him.
- That's me alright. Am I not how you were expecting me to be? Exit said with a mockingly wide grin.
- You could say that. Ceasar said dryly as he looked at Exit in confusion. This was the man that claimed that the soul of Kamilitron resided within him? This was the man that had convinced Zaigon and Socelieria that it was true?
He didn't see it.
Exit let out a childish cackle as he spun across the platform.
- And I must congratulate you on your strategy Ceasar. But sadly, as brilliant as that strategy is, you won't stand a chance against me. Not only do I have Alsei by my side. That effortlessly predicted your entire strategy before you even arrived....Exit started, his smile suddenly washing off his face as his cheerful attitude vanished like the storm.
- WHAT?! Ceasar and The Tenth Legion yelled in unison as Exit let out a mad cackle.
- Yep! Predicted every last bit of your plan. Down to location and ship. So by the time that your Troop Transport ships open their door, they will find some nasty surprises waiting for them. In the form of my own growing army. And a few nasty explosives to boot. Exit explained in a chipper voice once more.
- WHAT?!? Recon yelled in a horrified voice.
- You're lying!! Ceasar growled furiously as he forced himself to fight against his own still standing blood, only to stumble forward as everyone suddenly found their bodies responding to their brain signals once more.
- Am I? Exit said in a cold and humorless voice as a cruel smile twisted his face as he weaved his fingers together.
Theme: Kamen Rider Ghost OST [CD1] 16. 仮面ライダーネクロムテーマ
The next second, several small vortexes of darkness formed above Exit, rippling through the air.
Each spinning vortex expanded til the center of the vortex was the size of a base ball before the center itself opened up, revealing several scenes where at every Troop Transport landing area stood a couple of Dark Soldiers in front of the opened door. The soldiers of The Tenth Legion still not having disembarked. And Exit's Dark Soldier's throwing explosives around the base of the parked ships.
Ceasar growled at the sight.
- These are not illusions. That I can assure you off. Nor are they just windows. These are actual portals. Two-way portals. You want proof that what you are seeing is real? How about this? Exit with a downright deranged smile on his face as he freed his hands from his fingers.
Then he put a finger to his forehead.
- Men! One of you, shoot up into the air! The other that isn't having their guns trained on their idols, shoot a shot into the portal near you! Exit commanded as the tip of his finger glowed red.
The next second, one out of the three to five soldiers that had their guns trained on the soldiers within the transport raised their gun towards the heavens. While the other quickly spun around, looking for the portal before stopping and taking aim.
- Fire!! Exit yelled as he turned towards the portals.
The next second, several Dark Shards flew up into the air all across the city at the same time as an equal amount of dark shards rushed through the swirling portals and impacted the landing platform.
- Was that proof enough for you Ceasar? Exit said in a low and pleased voice as he turned towards Ceasar as the vortexes' closed behind him.
- YOU BASTARD!!!! Ceasar yelled as he drew his sword out of his sheath and charged towards Exit, everyone in The Tenth Legion following his lead behind him.
Only for Exit to raise a hand and everyone in the legion coming to an abrupt halt once again.
- Don't you dare harm my men!! Ceasar growled as almost every vein his body bulged as he tried to fight against his own body to make it move.
Exit gave him a vicious and uncaring smile as he gave an unapologetic look as he turned back towards him and the legion as everyone else watched the events unfold transfixed.
- If you think I am the man that I claim that I am. Then you know that I will do anything that I have to do to get my way. Exit said in a low and calm voice as he sauntered towards Ceasar and his men.
- And what is it you want?! Ceasar spat out in a dark and fierce growl as he glared at Exit.
Exit stopped and grinned a twisted grin once again.
- Your attention. Exit said with a far too pleased and deranged smile to be any good.
- What?! Why?! Ceasar spat out in rapidly mounting fury.
- You wanted to speak to me. I am here. So now that you are getting what you want, I am making sure that you are listening to me and not conducting any funny business. Exit said in a calm voice as he breezed past Ceasar and the Legion.
- You threaten my men just to get my attention!?! I should have your head for your audacity! Ceasar roared as he struggled to turn his head towards Exit as Exit sauntered towards Modernon and Sting.
And then a deep cold settled over the platform.
- Is everything going according to plan, Zaigon? Exit said in a low and calm voice without turning his head.
- It is. Alsei is keeping the air forces occupied. Socelieria is commanding the ground troops. And Nervan is at the gates. Zaigon informed in a cold, plain and detached voice as he stepped out of the cloud of darkness that had crashed down onto the platform right in front of The Tenth Legion.
- Good. Exit said in a flat voice as he walked up to Modernon and crossed his arms.
- And that, Modernon, is how you win the game before it even begins. Exit said in a cold, scathing and condescending voice as he raised his hand and bopped Modernon on the nose, much to his frustration.
- SILENCE!!!! Modernon spat out in vehement rage as he glared at Exit with a look of pure and utter loathing.
- Beyond talking to Ceasar, what else do you want? Why else are you here?! Modernon growled furiously as he tried to will himself forward, looking as if he was ready to claw out Exit's throat if he could.
Exit did not look amused anymore. Not at all.
- Oh, that is simple Modernon. Exit said in a low voice as he looked at Modernon with cold, dead and apathetic eyes.
- I want the current head of The Brotherhood of Darkness on a silver platter and watch it crumble without its renowned leader. Exit said with a cold, sadistic voice with an absolutely deranged smile on his face as he looked Modernon right in the eyes.
All across the platform, the eyes of almost every soldier widened in shock and horror as Modernon turned as pale as a ghost.
Then Exit took one long step forward and leaned in towards Modernon's ear and whispered:
- Now you know how that feels. Exit whispered in a low and quick voice that made Modernon's entire skin crawl.
He wanted to scream. He wanted to cry. But he couldn't. Exit had a finger on his lips.
Exit leaned away from Modernon's downright trembling form, an absolutely demented smile on his face.
- How do you like it? Exit said with a delighted voice.
- ENOUGH OF THIS!!! Ceasar roared from where he stood in place, only to stumble forward again as suddenly, everyone could move again, even if there were two apparent masters of Blood Bending present.
The moment Ceasar regained his balance, he whirled around towards Exit as everyone drew their weapons and steadied their aim on Zaigon and Exit.
Modernon collapsed to his knees, as white as a sheet and heaving for air as he stared down at the floor while trying to get his pulse back under control.
Exit snapped his finger and every gun in every one of Modernon's and Sting's Dark Soldier's hands shattered into nothing more but parts, bolts, and wires.
- Enough!!! You wanted to talk to me! Fine! Let's talk! On the other side of my blade! Ceasar roared in barely restrained fury as he stomped towards Exit, his asheralith blade drawn and shining in the sun.
Exit gave him a smile that would have given other's nightmares.
- Excellent. Exit said as a vortex of darkness opened up behind him, with the center of the vortex opening up to reveal the courtyard in front of Scorpion Mansion.
The moment the vortex had opened up, Exit backed through it.
Ceasar and The Tenth Legion followed almost immediately after.
- NO!!! You are NOT getting AWAY!!! Modernon yelled as he slammed his hand into the floor and pushed himself back onto his feet.
The moment he was back up, he reached into his pockets and pulled out the golden cube and quickly pulled out the silver case that rapidly grew to its proper size.
- After them Sting!! Modernon commanded as a massive tendril of darkness shoot through the air as Zaigon burst into darkness behind them and flew down to the courtyard.
- As you wish My Lord. Sting said with a hurried nod of acknowledgment before he sprinted off the side of the platform and burst into darkness that formed into a tendril and dove down towards the courtyard.
A moment later and the silver suitcase reached its proper size.
- Finally! Modernon spat out as he flipped the locks and opened the case and pulled out the shark shaped gauntlet.
Then he dropped the suitcase and burst into darkness, rippling through the air before diving straight down towards the courtyard.

Zaigon slammed into the ground beside Exit as he reformed and emerged from the darkness and stared down The Tenth Legion as the vortex closed behind them.
Barely a moment later landed Mayor Sting at the top of the stairs up to the front entrance to the mansion. And not even a second later was Sting drowned by a barrage of darkness as Modernon crashed into the ground beside him and reformed. A shark shaped metal gauntlet attached to his left wrist.
- I HAVE HAD ENOUGH OF THIS!!!! Modernon roared in pure, livid fury as he stomped towards the round courtyard where The Tenth Legion, Zaigon and Exit were gathered, Mayor Sting following loyally behind him.
- I HAVE HAD ENOUGH OF YOUR GAMES, MASTER!!!!! Modernon spat out, his eyes burning with pure hatred and loathing as he glared at Exit with all his might.
- Ahhh.....Poor predictable Modernon. You rattle his feathers a smidge and he pulls out whatever he thinks is his trump card at the moment. Exit said with a pleased voice as he crossed his arms in expectancy as half of The Tenth Legion turned towards Modernon in confusion.
- SILENCE!!!! I HAVE HAD ENOUGH!!!! Modernon roared as pushed the back half of the shark/submarine/torpedo like device on his arm forward until the two sides connected.
The next second, two curved triangle fins folded out on either side of the shark-submarine-torpedo as well as right at the middle.
Then the shark opened its mouth and a handle grip was spat out into Modernon's hand before the shark closed its jaw over the handle.
A red button peeped on the right side of the grip, waiting for Modernon's thumb to press it.
And the moment it peeped, Modernon pressed down on it.
- Are you ready to diiiiiiiiiiiiiiive?! Are you ready to diiiiiiiiiiiiiiive?! The shark proclaimed in a sketchy voice as its black eyes opened.
- YES!!! Death to all traitors! Moderno yelled as he thrust the shark shaped gauntlet forward as he released the trigger.
The moment he did, the shark opened its mouth, its eyes glowing red and roared:
- DEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And the moment that it did, an immense amount of water came gushing out of the opened shark mouth.
The water rushed through the air before it curved around and started swirling around Modernon like a mad and twisted vortex.
A vortex made out of countless sharks and fishes made out of water of all shapes and sizes.
And then the entire vortex was consumed by a massive shark head.
But the moment that the massive water sharp closed its mouth, another, somehow even bigger head of a water made shark swallowed the other with a massive CARRRRRRUUUUUUUUNCH!!!!!!!
And the moment that the massive shark head swallowed the other head, the two heads exploded into a massive torrent of water that howled and roared as it all poured down over the area.
And standing in the center of the area was Modernon.
Or whatever he had become.
Modernon was now dressed in a deep, dark blue, sharp shaped armor decorated with silver details and a thick, scuba like undersuit beneath the blue and silver armor.
The armor itself screamed SHARK in every detail.
Every section of the armor, be it thighs, calves, wrists, shoulders or the arms, had serrated fins sticking out of it.
The chest was made out one massive maw filled with triangle shaped, visceral looking teeth.
The shoulders had what looked a shark going in either direction away from the neck, with the arms coming out from beneath its fang filled mouth.
Most of the head looked like a shark had swum up from behind Modernon's head and swallowed it. The rest of the head was made out of said shark's maw.
Serrated claws decorated the tips of Modernon's armored feet and his black clad fingers.
Torpedos hung off the sides of his waist and decorated the sides of his thighs, calves and his right wrist.
- JAW!!!!!! Warrior of The Seas! Causing Chaos and Commotion! Spreading Fear and Terror! By the Powers that Be! Red Waves and Ocean! JAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- What?! Ceasar said in a stumped surprise as he was pretty sure that he just heard cheering and clapping coming from the metallic gauntlet at the end. Then a low, long, gurgled growl came from the other side of the massive maw of the head of the shark shaped warrior.
A moment later, Modernon moved his head and raised his serrated claws.
- Ocean Warrior......Jaw. Modernon said as he snapped his hand with a simple flourish.
- Go deal with him, while I deal with Ceasar. Exit said in a flat and unamused voice as he gave a simple nod towards Zaigon.
- With pleasure. Zaigon said in a cold and uncaring voice before he burst into darkness and appeared behind The Tenth Legion again and started walking towards Jaw and Sting.
- Now then.....Exit said as he looked away from where the last wisps of darkness disappeared into the air and turned towards Ceasar and The Tenth Legion.
- Hello, Ceasar. Exit said in a casual voice and a friendly smile on his face as he raised a hand and waved towards Ceasar.

Chapter 100:
Master And Student, Part 2.

Theme: 仮面ライダー剣 BGM クライマックスⅢ
- Long time no seen. Exit said in a casual and friendly, but forlorn voice as he titled his head to the side and gave Ceasar a small, much more genuine smile as he looked at Ceasar and The Tenth Legion with sad eyes.
- I don't think we have ever met. Ceasar said in a cold and flat voice.
Exit winced.
- Ouch. Okay. That is one way you could see it. Exit said in a pained, but disappointed voice as his warm expression fell to one of hurt and betrayal.
- I mean it. You claim to be my master. The one that gave my life new meaning. A new purpose. But you are nothing like him. Ceasar said with a dark growl as he stepped forward, sword and shield raised, his already fearsome and dark glare even darker than ever before.
- I have heard that a lot lately. It's strange how some people just can't seem to accept that people change over time. Or that people that they think they know are not how they think they are. Or that they are more complex than they give them credit too. Exit said flippantly as he put his hands in his pockets.
- Yet look at where I am now. With my two most devoted and loyal followers at my side. Believing what I have told them. They have seen me for who I am and what I am. And accepted that in their hearts. And accepted me again. Exit said as he whirled around in place on one heel before he stopped and turned back towards Ceasar, his hands flying out of his pockets as he placed one hand over his heart. Then he shifted his hand to the other side of his chest.
Ceasar didn't move a muscle in his face, nor did he changed a thing about his battle ready posture.
Exit sighed.
- So.....How do you want to do this? In this battle of convictions? All against one, or mano-e-mano? Exit asked in a resigned sigh as he took a step to the right, with Ceasar mirroring the move, his sword continuously trained on Exit.
- One on one. For now. Ceasar said in a low and steady voice as he clenched the grip of his sword even tighter.
- Oh ho hoh ho......Seems like I not only got your attention, but I also got you all riled up for this confrontation with that stunt, now didn't I? Exit said in an amused and pleased voice as he watched Ceasar tremble and convulse with barely restrained rage. If Exit was as powerful as the man he claimed himself to be, Ceasar wasn't going to take any chances yet. He wasn't going down in one strike this time.
- Are you fighting for yourself? For Modernon? Or for The Brotherhood? Exit said plainly as he raised an imperious eyebrow at Ceasar.
- FOR THE LEGION!!! Ceasar roared as he stomped towards Exit, seemingly ready to cut him down as he raised his blade to do just that.
- Glad to know that I know you that well. Exit said with a pleased voice.
- Only a MONSTER would use that kind of knowledge against someone they know!! Ceasar howled as he surged towards Exit, fueled by anger and contempt as he swung his sword at Exit, who effortlessly weaved himself through the air past the brutal swing.
A moment later and the pure asheralith blade sliced through the stone where Exit had previously stood before.
Exit placed his hands in his pockets again and raised a foot to kick. Only for Ceasar to dodge to the side, grabbing hold of his blade and pulling it out in a forward cutting movement. The blade cleaving through the air towards Exit's left thigh. But then Exit spun on his left foot and sent his right foot careening through the air before it hit the side of Ceasar's blade, knocking it out of the way of his thigh.
Exit shock his head as Ceasar was pulled along the arch of his blade, only to slam his shield into the ground and then slam his sword into the ground as well. Then he used the force of his actions and thrust himself into the air, his legs rolling through the air in a double heel kick aimed towards Exit.
Only for Exit to dodge out of the way of Ceasar's attack. But when Ceasar's attack missed, he landed on his feet and rolled over the ground before flinging himself back onto his feet, a feral growl breaking through his lips as he charged towards Exit.
Exit still hadn't taken his hands out of his pockets as he dodged out of the way of Ceasar's swing and shield bash.
- Good. You're focused on me. Exit said in a pleased voice as Ceasar straightened himself back up into a more acceptable battle position as he glared at Exit.
- Now. We can talk. If it has to be while fighting, so be it, but we will talk. And you will listen. Exit said in a low, calm and commanding voice.
- I do not listen to the scum that threatens my family! Ceasar spat out in a furious growl as he glared at Exit with pure loathing.
Exit let out a sigh before several small vortexes of darkness rippled into existence around Exit.
- Very well then.....Exit said with a tried and resigned sigh.
- MEN!!! RETURN TO BASE!!! Exit yelled into the swirling vortexes that circled around him.
Then Exit waved his hand through the air and the vortexes turned towards Ceasar.
Ceasar stopped for a moment as he saw the dark soldiers that held his soldier's prisoner's within their ships jump and look around in confusion. Then they looked at one another, then at the ships, the explosives and then the other again. A moment later and they all disappeared into clouds of darkness.
- Which means that their base is here in the city. Thanks for the confirmation. Ceasar thought to himself as the vortexes closed and disappeared into the air.
When the vortexes disappeared, Ceasar saw Exit remove his finger from his forehead.
- There. Now we can talk. Exit said in an annoyed voice as he looked Ceasar straight in the eyes.
- Tell me what I want. Ceasar ordered in a commanding voice as he gave Exit a frosty glare.
- And what is that? Exit asked rhetorically, raising an amused eyebrow at him.
- The truth. Ceasar demanded as he raised his sword towards Exit once again.
Exit gave him an almost lazy smile as he looked down the end of the blade.
- Let's see if you can last longer than the first attack this time then. Exit said with a bored and forlorn voice as he pulled his hands out of his pockets.
The moment his hands were out of his pockets, the air around them rippled as a stream of darkness spewed forth from the center of Exit's hands before turning into his Darkness Blades.
- Only one person knows that the battle that led to me joining The Brotherhood lasted for only one attack. And that was the man that I fought against. And that man was the man that you claim yourself to be. Ceasar said in a low voice as he took a step backward in preparation to strike.
- I know. Exit said with a Cheshire like grin on his face as he raised the two long and thin, whip like blades. The blades effortlessly cleaving through the air around them with ease.
- BUT YOU ARE NOTHING LIKE HIM!!! Ceasar roared as he rushed towards Exit, a look of pure fury and rage on his face as Exit's smile only grew bigger.

The leader of The Neo Brotherhood: Exit Eden.
Theme: Rival - Fire Emblem Awakening

- HYRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRGH!!!!!!!!! Ceasar roared as he flung himself towards Exit, his sword shrieking through the air as it cleaved through the air in a wide, elegant arch. A bit away, both Reakon and Siniper started cheering as Ceasar attacked.
Exit threw himself backward, his swords cleaving through the air, the swords extending beyond his arms and effortlessly slicing through the stones and dirt beneath them on their arch towards Ceasar. Ceasar weaved himself past the blades as Exit quickly crossed his arms, causing the blades to slide towards each other and cross one another as well, nearly cleaving Ceasar apart if he wasn't fast on his feet. He threw him out of the way of the tendril like blades that continued on their path towards them as Exit threw his arms both outward and backward before he landed onto the ground, the darkness blades twice as long as the distance between himself and Ceasar.
Ceasar was already covered in dirt, but he threw himself of any signs of shock at the efficiency of the blades and dashed towards Exit once more. Exit snapped into action, whipping his arms through the air, the whip like blades snapping and cracking into action as they swished and swooped through the air with ease.
Ceasar slid down onto his knees and heels as he slid over the ground to dodge out of the way of the double slash from the swords. But he still felt how he lost a few strands of hair. Not the actual contact of the blades, just some of his hair falling away.
The moment that the blades passed by him was the moment that Ceasar got back up and pushed away from the ground, propelling him forward as Exit quickly brought his blades back towards him, the blades rapidly decreasing in length as Ceasar came closer to their wielder.
Ceasar let out another roar as he plunged his sword towards Exit, only for Exit to effortlessly whirl out of the way of the sword, sending his own whip like swords careening towards Ceasar. Ceasar raised his shield by pure instincts, but he knew that if he let the blades come close to either him or the shield, he was done for. So he threw himself backward as he felt the blades slice through the air in front of him.
He was pretty sure that the armor closest to the swords had just been scratched, even if the tips of the blades themselves hadn't even gotten close to him. Ceasar bit back a growl as he threw himself another few steps backward as Exit spun around in place, throwing his hands forward, sending his blades thrusting towards Ceasar.
Reakon let out a shout of fear as Ceasar barely dodged being skewered by the rapidly approaching blades that when they failed to skewer him sliced and cut through the air in front of him with such effortless ease that it was downright terrifying.
- Don't move!! This is my battle!!! Ceasar commanded as he spun on his hand and nearly came to a stop when he saw both Sheld and Swout rush to the front of the group.
- He's right you know! This fight is OURS!!!! Exit yelled from a bit away as he spun around and then wheeled his hands through the air, sending the blades slicing through the air towards Ceasar in a rapid, repeating and fearsome wheeling barrage.
The black blades effortlessly cut through the stones, flowers, grass, and soil beneath as if it wasn't even there. They didn't even pull out any dirt with them on their way out of the ground before they went up into the air again before they came crashing down towards Ceasar once more.
- It was during a fight like this, where only one was fighting with something at stake, in their case, their freedom, in yours, your legion, that it happened. Exit explained in a calm and formal tone as he threw his arms forward and crossed them, causing the previously snapping, cracking and wheeling blades to change their trajectory and hurl towards Ceasar.
- WHAT?! Ceasar yelled in a confused voice as he threw himself out of the crossing blade's path, only for Exit to wheel his arms again and throw the swords towards him again.
- The thing that led to Modernon parking his wretched rear on the throne and me gaining this body. Exit said as he dissipated one sword and raised a black nailed hand towards him as he thrust the other hand down towards the ground, sending the sword crashing towards Ceasar.
Ceasar rolled out of the way of the crashing blade, only for his eyes to widen as the sound of a vacuum blasted through the area as the area where the blade impacted exploded into a straight line of soil and dirt.
- It was during a fight like this, though a bit more heated as all parts were equally angry, that I lost. Not intentionally. And I hadn't predicted that fate either. Though I did take a few precautions that would still keep my original body a viable option to return to if this body failed me. Exit explained in a flippant and distracted voice as he continued to only send one whip blade snapping and hurtling towards Ceasar.
Then he lazily extended a finger from the hand he was gesturing at himself towards Ceasar and another Darkness Blade spewed forth from his finger tip.
Ceasar's eyes went wide before he leaped out of the way of the rapidly incoming spear of darkness that came hurtling towards him.
The moment he dodged the spear, the spear stopped and turned into a proper Darkness Blade.
And then Ceasar's widened as one more Darkness blade grew out of each remaining finger on Exit's gesturing hand.
Exit smile actually frightening him now.
Especially when Exit started cackling and skipped forward, his swatting his five sword hand through the air, sending five whip like swords snapping and hurtling towards Ceasar.
Ceasar let out a yell of shock as he threw himself out of the way of the barrage of black blades, only to whirl around in place to dodge the sword from Exit's other hand that had come dangerously close to his throat.
- My host and I were fighting. Quite fiercely and quite brutally I might add. And in a last ditch effort to beat me, the man that became my host jumped at me as I was about to finish of his companion. We fought in the air, bathed in our respective elements. Light and Darkness. Exit explained in a casual voice as he threw his one blade wielding hand through the air, a new blade bursting forth from each of the finger tips as Exit leaped towards Ceasar, a manic grin on his face.
- What?! What are you talking about?! Ceasar yelled in a hurried and confused voice as he dodged out of the way as fast as he could out of the fearsome onslaught of darkness blades that hurtled towards him at dizzying speeds.
- Mind meld. Well, a mind and soul meld to be more precise. Exit said as he waved his hand through the air and five of the ten blades that had been hounding Ceasar's progress towards Exit disappeared into wisps of darkness.
Ceasar came to an abrupt halt as he registered Exit's words.
- My soul into the mind of my new host. Well, the part of my soul that was actually in my body that is. Exit said with a cheerful voice as he pointed towards his head before he lowered his hand towards his face, where a deranged smile was decorating his lips.
- WHAT?! Ceasar yelled in a shocked and horrified voice as he dodged out of the way of Exit's fearsome blade barrage, even if he was only lazily weaving his sword wielding hand through the air at this point.
Exit's eyes widened for a moment.
- Whoops! Did I just say that last bit out loud?! Exit said in a surprised and panicked voice.
- But anyway! Exit yelled as he thrust his gesturing hand towards Ceasar and sent five Darkness Blades hurtling towards Ceasar once more, ready to skewer him on a spear with ease.
Ceasar quickly dove down to the ground and rolled across it as Exit lowered his fingers to let the blades cut through him as he rolled under them. But the blades sliced through the grass and soil instead.
- That was what happened. In a moment of open weakness, I bumped my head against my new host's own head the moment we crashed against a roof. And then I found myself in a body of flesh and blood once more. For the first time in over 30 years!!! True and Pure! REAL FLESH AND BLOOD!!!! Exit explained before his smile became downright manic as delight and joy lit up in his crimson eyes before he whirled around in place, swooping his hands through the air and sending a wave of ten darkness blades cavalcading towards Ceasar.
Ceasar threw himself out of the way as the blades ripped through the air the ground where he just knelt with such frightening efficiency that Ceasar had to hold back a shiver. The gauges in the soil were no wider than an inch. If that. Yet they cut through everything with such effortless ease that Ceasar feared what they would do to flesh.
- A mind and soul meld. You took a body that wasn't yours. I always expected that my master would face death with dignity instead of trying to escape its clutches. Ceasar said in a low and disgusted voice as he threw himself out of the way of the double five blade barrage that came raining down towards him. The darkness blades snapping and cracking through the air as they curled downwards like scythes and hooks before they sliced through the ground where Ceasar had just run past.
- Well.....Some people aren't as accepting of their mortality as others. Besides. It was a happy accident. An accident that beyond a few problems are nothing but a boon for me. Exit said in a detached and uncaring voice as he closed his eyes for a moment and lowered his head while slashing and weaving his hands through the air, sending the darkness blades hurtling and whirling through the air around him. Then he opened his eyes and raised his head and threw his hands through the air, sending the blades rolling and snapping across the grass towards Ceasar.
- You're toying with me. You could end this farce of a fight whenever you want to. Yet you haven't. You're waiting for me to come to you to strike me down. If that now is what you want. But given the size of your new organization, I doubt it. Ceasar said in a cold and analytical voice as he glared at Exit, his eyes filled with disgust and disdain.
- Correct on all accounts. Exit said cheerfully as he clapped his hands in praise, a wide, gleeful smile on his face.
Then he thrust his hands forward and sent ten darkness blades hurtling towards Ceasar again.
Only for none of the spear like blades to reach Ceasar before they dissipated into wisps of darkness.
- What?! Exit yelled in shock as Ceasar's eyes widened as he saw the dark spears disappear into the air.
- What the hell?! Exit yelled as he looked at his hand, only for his eyes to widen at the sight of the veins in his hands glowing gold.
- What the? Ceasar asked in confusion as he saw more and more and veins on Exit start glowing a bright gold.
Theme: Gotham (OST) 3x14 Nygma Shoots Penguin
And for the first time, Exit seemed to lose his ever underlying calm.
His smile vanished on his face. But this time, it wasn't replaced with a blank, apathetic and cold expression.
This time, it turned into an expression of rapidly growing fear and horror.
- No.....No...No.....No....Exit said in a low, frightened voice as he watched more and more veins in his hands start glowing.
Then he trailed the veins in his hands down to his wrists, only to see more and more veins glowing there.
Slowly turning his head to his other arm, Exit's expression only grew more and more horrified as he watched of his very own skin began to glow.
- What is he doing? Reakon asked as she and Swout pulled out a pair of binoculars and zoomed in on Exit.
- What are you doing? Ceasar demanded in a cautious voice as she slowly edged himself towards Exit, who didn't even seem to notice his approach as he focused on his gently glowing hands.
- I won't.....Exit said in a small, frightened voice as he watched how his hands began radiating light.
First a little, then as he saw it, it became more and more.
- Light? Ceasar asked in a low voice as Exit staggered backward as his skin began to glow.
- I won't become you......Exit whined in a low, frightened whine as he staggered backward, his whole body quivering.
- Master? Zaigon said in a low and concerned voice as he turned away from his battle with Jaw and Sting.
- I will never become you....Exit said in a broken and trembling voice, his whole body shaking as all of his skin was now glowing.
- What are you on about? Ceasar demanded as he raised his blade towards Exit, only for Exit to look at him without a hint of recognition in his eyes.
- I will never become yours......Exit said in a voice that was not his own.
Ceasar's eyes widened for a moment before he calmed himself and gave Exit a raised eyebrow.
- NO!!!!! Exit roared as he flung himself back, away from Ceasar.
Ceasar pounced towards him, but the moment that he came close, Exit stopped radiating light.
Instead, he exploded into a massive shower of light.
- HYRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Exit roared as he suddenly burst into a massive shower of light.
Jets of light burst forth from his arms, swallowing his arms whole as his eyes, mouth, nose, and ears lit up a bright, blinding white as he screamed.
- NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!! Exit roared as his head exploded into a massive upward stream of golden light and blazing, golden flames, coupled with searing white, light.
- What the hell!!!!??? Ceasar yelled as he raised his shield to shield his eyes as massive waves of light washed across the courtyard in tremendous waves.
All across the mansion, everyone turned towards the horrific, blood-curdling screams.
And if the screams did not catch their attention, then the sudden onslaught of blinding, painful and searing golden light suddenly flooding the courtyard of the mansion most certainly did.
- HYRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Exit howled and roared from within the light as his pale skin was pealed away by the burning golden flames that licked his skin, turning it tan.
Exit couldn't even grab his head as his hair burst into a massive tower of golden flames that spewed forth and soared high into the air as countless waves of the brilliant and magnificent light rolled across the city.
- HRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Exit roared with two voices before he suddenly collapsed.
And so did the massive onslaught of nearly unrelenting darkness, that, the moment that Exit collapsed, caved in on itself all at once with an SCARARARARARASKSRARARRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and a blinding flash.

And then there was silence.
Long, deep, deafening and nearly suffocating silence followed the sudden explosion of light that washed across the city in one massive wave.

Ceasar was the first one that came out of their hiding place.
And he was still the man closest to the source.
He looked around the courtyard.
The grass around Exit's collapsed form was scorched to a cinder.
Every last straw of grass was burned. Ash and charcoal covered the ground as the soil beneath Ceasar's feet were hard as he made his way towards the soot and ash filled circle where Exit's collapsed form laid.
But the man that laid in the center of the soot was not Exit.
He wore his clothes, so he had to be, but he wasn't him.
Exit was pale, his hair short, frail looking and as black as oil. This man was tan. His hair long, luscious and spiky. And as golden blonde as the sun itself and the light that had washed across the entirety of the city. And he was alive, as Ceasar heard him breathing.
The man wearing Exit's clothes awoke with a start and opened his eyes that were a startling Emerald Green.
- Im.....free? The golden haired man wearing Exit's clothes said as he tentatively looked around the place, only to turn around towards Ceasar when he heard the wisp of his blade. Then he froze when he saw Ceasar's asheralith sword aimed at him.
- Who.......Are you? Ceasar asked in a low, demanding and speculative voice as he looked down at the golden haired, green eyed man at the other end of his sword. He asked both the man that Exit was, the man that he had become and Exit himself. Because now, he genuinely didn't know anymore.
The golden haired, green eyed man looked up from the tip of his blade and looked him in the eyes with a frightened, confused and fear filled voice:
- Antz-o-in Lightwalker. Antz-o-in answered from the other side of his blade.

Transmission Closed.

Theme: Attack on Titan - Great Escape (English Cover Song) [2nd Ending] - NateWantsToBattle

The floor rushed by beneath a pair of running feet.

Antz-o-in hurried through the dark corridors of the ruined castle, an expression of desperation and panic on his face, the shadows behind him hounding his every step.
- If we suppose that I am....
Antz-o-in continued running through the corridor, his breath labored, his heart racing as he ran as fast he could through the corridors.
- ...not who I say.
Every window and mirror he ran past, Exit cackled, his red eyes glowing in the darkness of the castle.
- Can you say with certainty....
Antz-o-in's eyes widened as he came to a sudden stop before a mirror covered door that instead of reflecting Exit, reflected himself, but with black hair and red eyes.
- ...that you're even yourself?
Antz-o-in watched his reflection as he slowly looked at himself and then looked back at the mirror door. And saw Antz-o-in reflected in the mirror instead. When he looked down at himself again, he was Exit, but with blonde hair and green eyes.
- Will you be able....
Antz-o-in roared in fury and smashed through the mirror door, shattering it beneath his fist, his eyes closed as he drove through the rain of shards before he took down the corridor in a mad sprint beyond the door.
- ...to pick up the mess you've made...
Antz-o-in kept his eyes closed as he continued to run through the corridor, tears falling off his cheeks as the shattered mirror fell to the floor, the all-consuming shadows rushing past the broken door towards him.
- ....once your heart just....
Antz-o-in opened his eyes again as light shone through the windows when he looked through the passing window, he saw the world through eyes of a stranger. Himself.
- ...falls apart like it's sand?
Robin was interacting with him, helping Antz-o-in recover his strength. And it froze Antz-o-in on the spot, his heart breaking at the sight of it, the shadows racing towards him as he clutched his heart in despair.
- I hear someone....
Antz-o-in whirled around as a hundred blood red eyes started glowing in the darkness around him as the window shook as a cackle echoed throughout the castle.
- ...calling out my name.
All around him, the red-eyed shadows formed into replicas of everyone that Antz-o-in knew, all with the blood red eyes, all of them calling out towards him.
- It rings in my ears...
Antz-o-in looked around the group that surrounded him, his eyes wide in shock as each and every one of them transformed into a laughing Exit.
- ....it's driving me insane.
Antz-o-in screamed into the darkness as he clutched his head, shaking it in denial as he collapsed to his knees as all the Exit's twitched and jerked splitting into five before reforming again.
- Time has frozen....
Antz-o-in opened his eyes again as he turned around, still clutching his head as every one of the shadows continued laughing and calling his name.
- ...right around my head.
Beyond the round window in the wall, Robin was still helping Antz-o-in recover, all while Antz-o-in watched from inside his eyes.
- I need you to wake me up.
Antz-o-in shouted, pleaded and roared towards the window, banging his fists against the glass as the shadows continued laughing. Antz-o-in's eyes widened and Robin panicked as he swayed on his feet.
- I began...
Antz-o-in cried as he laid his hand against the unyielding window, his tears running down his cheek and onto the glass as Robin continued helped Antz-o-in regain his footing. But then Antz-o-in clenched his fists and opened his eyes.
- ...to walk straight through....
Antz-o-in opened his eyes and pushed himself off the window, slowly rising to his feet and turning back towards the laughing crowd and then starting to walk towards it.
- ...The deepest dark abyss.
And then he started running, the crowd parting around him as he ran.
- Swiftly like a gale...
The shadows rushed past him, but the darkness that had consumed the castle never receding as he ran deeper into the darkness.
- ...I knew I must escape this.
And then, much to the shadows shock, Antz-o-in turned around and started running straight towards the window once more.
- I felt as if...
The shadows rushed towards him, clamoring towards him, their arms reaching at him as he continued to run, his intention clear to them as he sprinted through the corridor, a determined expression on his face.
- ...my rotting corpse had...
The moment that Antz-o-in came close to the window, he leaped off the floor, the shadows parting ways before him. Smiles on their faces.
- ...had risen back to life.
Antz-o-in hit the window and the window shattered beneath him. Antz-o-in screamed, black tears running down his cheeks as he clutched his head as he collapsed to the floor, Robin hurrying to his side in panic.
- And now's the time...
Antz-o-in flew through the air and into the light, the world forming around him.
- ...we break through our walls.
Robin called for help as Antz-o-in continued to scream and cry.
- Unite these different worlds.
And then Antz-o-in burst into light before the light was swallowed by darkness. The world of light that Antz-o-in flew through was filled with darkness before a light consumed the darkness.
- Before they take it for them.
When Antz-o-in opened his eyes again, he was back inside the black corridors of the opened castle.
Beyond the black windows, the world continued to move.
In one blink, Sam, Craig, Alex, Zaram and Zack rushed into Antz-o-in's room to help Robin with Antz-o-in.
In another, Exit stood in a blood covered room over their corpses.
Darkness filled the room and Exit smiled a twisted smile.
Beyond his red eyes, Antz-o-in screamed as he disappeared into the abyss of darkness.
