King Yafeu and Supremeo attack Sigmond from the front, unloading attacks from Supremeo's star cannons and the King's liquid metal guns. Kapurma dashes to the side of Sigmond attacking the base of his monstrous form.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Ztarm0T7Y
Kapurma lands a strike but is knocked back by the self-proclaimed emperor's force field tech. Kapurma strikes the base again but the force field does not break.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwybtVLvLlM
Kapurma looks to see how the King and Supremeo are holding up against Sigmond's new form and to his surprise, the star cannon blast rips open a hole through the force field but stops short of hitting Sigmond. So King Yafeu fires a few rounds of liquid metal bullets through the opening. The shots hit him as planned but do minimal damage in helping the heroes win the fight.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4hy5VDnwZ
The King frustrated by the little damage he does tells Supremeo. I'm gonna need gun turrets like him to make a serious dent.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4TA4HAuhc
Supremeo adds, "Or a rocket launcher."
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvC6MGtguA8
As Supremeo and the King plot their next move, Sigmond maneuvers his gun turrets to the ground toward Kapurma. He begins to shoot. Kap dodges the shots effortlessly. He goes for another blow at the base of Sigmond's monstrous form again. Kapurma throws his inekium staff with all his might, only for it to bounce off.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzNSzWrofK
Kap catches his staff and backpedals away from Sigmond to regroup and strategize. Kapurma connects with the King and Supremeo through comms and tells them both, "My friends I'm afraid I'm not going to be of much use to you on this part of the fight. My inekium staff isn't able to make a dent in his force field tech! Unless one of you can come up with some ideas."
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4clVHPuCp5
Supremeo says, "I have a few...I've been in contact with Sylvia. She plans to send 20 aiutu units to back us up. Until then I can lend you a Star cannon."
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXhN18rjoN
Kap replies, "Only 20!? I hate to sound like I'm complaining but we're gonna need way more help than that!! And Supremeo I thank you for your offer in lending me a cannon but by the looks of it, you're going to need it more than me. You're doing way more damage with you and the King by your side. I would hate to slow down your momentum.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjShJHYFzbK
Supremeo replies, "I wasn't talking about my remaining arm, or the tech that King Yafeu lent me. I was talking about my arm that got cut off."
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmgmYCeQFV
Now shocked, Kapurma remembers the fight against Amaro and Julius on the deserted island on top of the airship. The old tortoise smiles and says, "That's right? Your arms are like detachable rockets!"
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7huUzp6jOP
A loud whistling sound can be heard echoing from the skies. Kapurma looks up and then tells Supremeo, "Just keep the cannon over my shoulder."
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCp5Q89Ezzd
In what seems like an instant Supremeo's left arm cannon lands right next to Kapurma's shoulder and shoots off a star cannon blast ripping Sigmond's forcefield from the bottom. Creating the opening Kapurma needed. Kapurma dashes in the opening and says to Sigmond, "Let's make sure you stay right where you are!" Kapurma jams his inekium staff at the base of Sigmond's tank form breaking off gears from its wheels and disrupting Sigmond's mobility.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthL2P8w5Ab
Sigmond yells, " You wretched beast!!" Once again the gun turrets are aimed at Kapurma. He instantly slides underneath Sigmond. As Kapurma slides underneath Sigmond's tank form he prepares to attack, until he notices what's underneath the wheels of the tank.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bzjLdotRq
Looking right back at Kapurma were all the heads of the combat droids. All their red glowing eyes lock on Kap and prepare to shoot him with laser beams from their eyes. Kap quickly rolls on his back and withdraws his hands and feet on his shell. The lasers hit Kapurma's Inekium cloak draped over his back.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6TvDknGy8
Kapurma escapes through the smoke and crawls through the tilted side of Sigmond's tank. He warns the King and Supremeo saying, "The droid's heads are under the tank! Breaking any mechanism underneath is out of the question! I almost took hundreds of blasts underneath the tank!"
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyCpWZNF2M
King Yafeu replies, "That damn coward! It's like he's using their bodies as a shield!? Force field tech and using innocent bodies as weapons!? Damn you Sigmond! I should've killed you! You're a sorry excuse of a warrior!"
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjVKRjAB2K
The self-proclaimed emperor interrupts the King by saying, "You couldn't! Little king! The chip in your body wouldn't allow it! All the will in the world and you couldn't override my tech. You call me a sorry excuse of a warrior!? I'm beyond any warrior's code little king. If your vision of a perfect world involves accepting banishment and fending for yourself by just getting by. Then you can keep that warrior's code you cherish so much. I prefer being a conqueror than a soldier or warrior!"
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYJXo9SU6B
Missile ports open from Sigmond's back and he tells King Yafeu and Supremeo, " Now warriors let's see what your code gets you after this! I know about your match earlier so your loved ones must be occupied at the coliseum. I've sent thousands of combat droids there to slow any help down from coming here. So let's add 5 missiles to their current predicament to see how they hold up! "
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5x2CxTAI0
Sigmond let's off 5 missiles.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Na6N9MurH
Then he lets off another 5 and says, "I'll also be sending off another 5 to hit random towns here. You know I can't make things too easy for you guys. I know how much "warriors" such as you two like a challenge! Hahaha! "
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2ivrNJkUW
Supremeo and King Yafeu look towards the sky. Supremeo tells the King he'll be going for the ones aimed at the coliseum. King Yafeu nods and makes his way for the missiles headed for the towns.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1IFSNtBwR
Sigmond looks to his feet and tells himself, "Now all that's left is the beast. Where are you at? "
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSSCME3uOO
To Sigmond's surprise, a gun turret gets destroyed off Sigmond's shoulder by Kapurma. Enraged, Sigmond ignites a powerful electrical surge through his body shocking Kapurma. The Electrical surge knocks Kapurma off his feet and sends him tumbling to the ground knocking him out cold.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIe5yqduG4V
Through comms Supremeo and King Yafeu hear Kapurma take the fall. Instantly they look back to Sigmond and See the conqueror focused on the fallen opponent.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rghOpStz8
On the other side of the battle after Supremeo destroys the last missile heading towards the coliseum. King Yafeu destroys 3. 2 are left heading towards their targets until Supremeo crashes against them using his meteor mode.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOKtMQuag6
While running towards Sigmond King Yafeu tells Supremeo, "I think your friend is gonna need our help. And he's gonna need it, FAST! "Supremeo tells the King, "I'm on it!" He makes his way toward his foe's force field as quickly as he could.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0g8towZJz
Meanwhile, three combat droids release themselves from Sigmond's tank form. They head over to Kapurma and turn him over. The droids ignite their lasers and aim them towards Kapurma's exposed face.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlrU5WQp4u
King Yafeu tells himself, "Oh no... He's not going to make it!"
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oP4WBQsFE
As soon as the King says this a whistling crackle echoes through the skies attacking Sigmond from behind. Sigmond looks to see who his attacker is. To his shock he sees droids. It was the 20 aiutus Sylvia promised to send over.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcjv93YLRa
Sigmond was now bewildered from the surprise attack. It also shocks the combat droids readying an attack on Kapurma. The attack buys enough time for Supremeo to crash into Sigmond's force field to eventually break it with an attack he calls the meteor charge.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtih1LEBlx
Supremeo instantly shatters the force field and breaks through the combat droid's bodies. The aiutus grab Kapurma.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxMjJdCxLU
King Yafeu throws his liquid katana toward Sigmond. It pierces Sigmond in his chest.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWfcbueIEW

268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgj8z6lz47
Supremeo draws a liquid Katana and pierces Sigmond's chest joining the other katana thrown by King Yafeu.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXfRwD3d0s
Sigmond crashes down to the ground and lands underneath Supremeo's feet while he holds a cannon readying a charged blast towards his face.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhX5G573LeA
The purple gemstone that houses the manmade sun in Supremeo's palm gleams in Sigmond's eye through his star cannon, and for a moment he saw the look of fear and doubt on his face. The cannon ignites its blast and Supremeo says, "You're done, conqueror."
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJI5y7D4H2
Sigmond laughs and says, "No not really, you weren't listening when I was talking to the little king were you? I'm beyond being a warrior. Do you think that I would risk it all in a fight? How brutish and simple to think that. I am beyond a physical form now. I am a program, a way of life! Destroy this form I will come back again! "
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdKv7uhRW2
Out of nowhere...
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBuCmbFuGB
FWOOOOM!!!
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4sXeMnvVU
Supremeo blasts off Sigmond's head with his star cannon and tells Sigmond, "I'll be ready for you when you come back again!"
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tgcIBrNKz
As soon as this happens the tank breaks apart and all combat droids shut off.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphNgaqIMFE
Supremeo looks to King Yafeu. He gives him a nod.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDUO9si8QZ
He heads towards the King.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxuxPJP4bD
Supremeo shuts off his meteor mode.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNd0LHAZ8WG
He tells King Yafeu, "Earlier you said I was all tech and no technique..."
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgENEbAGRj
The King laughs and says, "Haha! Yeah sorry about that!"
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsaADinitfs
Supremeo interrupts saying, "No you don't understand. I want you to teach me!" King Yafeu laughs saying, "Well sorry about chipping your chest plate and your arm breaking off even though I didn't do that."
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhmiyLchQs
Supremeo replies, "It's all good my friend. What you really need to apologize for is threatening to cut one of my guy's head off and putting it on your shelf!"
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmw9ozeThNF
King Yafeu embarrassed laughs and says, "Haha! Yeaaah I did say that, didn't I? We'll sorry about THAT. It's just a bad reflex I get when I feel I'm being played. Before the Edson's partnered with me other companies just came here to study the droid population making personal weapons for themselves. Taking care of the citizens here was last on their minds.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQeltoKsw6w
Supremeo's liquid metal arm disconnects from him and moves toward King Yafeu and molds back into the King's arm. All three heroes make their way back to the coliseum.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXb4D1dT4G
Supremeo tells the King, "Well you never would have to worry about that! We'll have your back."
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIetS6ZZNo
Time passes and the King asks Supremeo, "Where'd you get your fighting skills from? Supremeo tells the King, "I have Training memories with Bernard Sullivan. The first great hero of this world and the last of the old world. As you know just like Adira he's been alive for hundreds of years. I have most of that knowledge built in me." The King smiles and says, "Training memories? I don't know what that means. Wow though maybe we could learn from each other? Honestly, I fought like that in our match because I thought I could scare you off, but guess I was wrong..."
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1AzRekV6y
Supremeo throws a punch and kick towards the air and says, "No hard feelings in misjudging my bravery either. Just hope you have some tools to strap my arm back.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOTo9Q0WQj
Out of nowhere Kapurma wearily replies, "Don't forget the ice cream!"
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRvuaY6ccD
The King answers, "Yes and yes!"
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgVSx80pnb
He continues saying, "You guys are talented fighters I give you props..."
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ216CpmSK9K
Before anyone could answer movement is heard from a distance.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVPQXpGKgd
A combat droid stands. Its eyes glow red. It delivers a message in a familiar voice. It's Sigmond's voice they hear. He says to the three heroes, " You guys are all talking as if you're in the clear!? I'm not letting you off all so easily. Here's a lesson for you all to dwell on. Your battle with my horde was noble and honorable. Saving keeping their heads to hopefully give them back their freedom...I made an account of that... "
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWIbfpTr3j
Once the heroes hear this. Their eyes widen as they see all the combat droids standing once again.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQtvuZ04Fc
Sigmond continues to say, "My horde's number reaches one million. There are exactly 700 thousand of these droids I sent to me. 300 thousand over to the coliseum. That leads us right here. To me, a good soldier will not only fight for you. They will DIE for you as well! "
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KocnexRsG
King Yafeu yellls, "We won't kill them!" Sigmond replies, "No the fight is done! Every single combat droid you've fought has a bomb in its head. Implanted by MY ORDERS! The strength of this virus is truly amazing Yafeu!! I have my own platoon of kamikaze soldiers! You hold so much of these people's weight in pain. Let's see how you deal with the genocide of 1 million combat droids! "
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7We0v8Cgox
The three soldiers look around them and for miles, they are surrounded by combat droids.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtul6X7trQw
Supremeo yells, "AIUTU'S FLY US TO SAFETY!!"
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTA5N5j3Ba
In an instant after Sigmond gives the command. The combat droids explode killing themselves altogether.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD86B7Hpd1x
The helper droids follow their command on time and fly the heroes above the epic explosion.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThJhh7UrIX
King Yafeu looks below his feet and to his horror, he sees a roaring blaze of incinerated metal that stretches for miles. Thoughts of failure and feelings of pain are on his face as he sees the flames dance over the scorched metal.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbMcIIxTIz
Then King Yafeu hears Supremeo yelling,
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTFZUtwJdD
"No!
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7qRkV9XSG
NOO!!!"
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5bo3I1GXX
King Yafeu turns to Supremeo's direction and sees what he's yelling at. From a far distance that only robots could see. They both are witness to sections of the coliseum on fire from the horde blowing their heads up as well.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX03va65miQ
Supremeo makes his way toward the burning structure to aid his friends.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocQeaFTvPu
The aiutu sees this and immediately follows with The King with Kapurma in tow.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWt1Td0S1Sh
Many miles later...
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpoev8Pu5BL
They make it to the coliseum. Frantically Supremeo makes his way to the crowd. Piles of flaming robots lay lifeless everywhere. While the injured get tended to and the dead are mourned.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLaNZrmGWb
Supremeo witnesses a droid mourning a deceased citizen of Avalon who also happened to be human. It snaps him back to look for his friends.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1LwXXXXyZ
Now searching for his friends Supremeo looks around the coliseum and tells himself, "Wow this city's population joined in on the fight and helped Max and everyone else...The King truly is an inspirational leader..."
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedH29QYuXr
Minutes pass and Supremeo continues to look for a familiar face within the coliseum. He's yet to find one.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNR94iivcTA
Once he does, he gives a smile and a sigh of relief. The same gesture however isn't reciprocated.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRxROzjIGS
Supremeo sees Bast who still looks on edge as if the fight is still going she tells Supremeo, "They'll be here any minute now. 1 million explosions set off simultaneously. They're gonna want to see if their dreams came true. They'll want to see if we all burned ourselves to hell..."
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrnEzHmLlA
Supremeo says, "Bast no please what are you talking about?" She just remains silent as she stares and witnesses the destruction before her eyes. They start to build up tears. Supremeo comforts Bast, then he hears another voice. It's Zachary, through comms he says, "Yes if you can tell them to chill that would help so much. And yes we're going to need tons of aid when you get here." Supremeo asks, "Zach! Who are you talking to!?" He says, "Sylvia and Ryan! They're on their way here."
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡip2vinECnO
Through the other end of the line Sylvia tells Zachary, "Oh Supremeo's there? Glad you all ended up safe! Well help as best as we can in handling the rest."
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDw0d8l4kp
Zachary replies, "That's the thing Sylvia...there's another thing I had to tell you before you get here... It's Richard, he got hurt bad...
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhexxrOqY3F
Supremeo: WHAT!?
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIz6jAVThv
Sylvia: WHAT!?...
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGQAYmSuPk
The party head to a corner of the coliseum floor and to Supremeo's horror. He sees his creator's friend's only son, laid out on the ground. His body was riddled with shrapnel from the blown up combat droids.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4rEVl8J4s
Richard's head rests on Sarah's lap. Maxwell grips his hand tightly to let him know everyone is by his side. He tells Richard, "Zach's got her on the other end buddy...Just Say what you have to say!.."
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVZ1rrhbSs
The feeling of numbness runs through Supremeo's body. The sound of silence follows. For the first time in his short life, Supremeo feels the pain of letting a loved one down.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvz6EWyHjp
As Zach puts the phone to Richard's ear he says to his fiancee, "Sylvia... tried...I'm so sorry."
