The crackle of the flames caused by War Hawk whips through the air. Tension in the atmosphere weighs heavy on Supremeo knowing War Hawk holds the fate of his friends in his hands.
Supremeo asks War Hawk, "Okay...What's your proposition?" War Hawk replies, "Give me the stones attached to your palms and the one in your chest plate." Supremeo is at a loss for words for a moment until War Hawk says, "Judging by your reaction those stones are what give you power and bring you to live right?" With a little nervousness in his tone Supremeo replies, "Yu...Yeah.."
The droid continues to say, "but whether I live or die isn't my concern...How do I know you'll keep your promise in letting my friends go?"
From underneath his helmet, Victor smiles at this statement thinking to himself he respects Supremeo for caring about his comrades first and caring about his life second.
Supremeo's words remind Victor of his friend Elias Caine. The co-creator of the droid who's standing in front of him. Victor answers Supremeo's concern by telling him, "You'll have my word as a fellow warrior, your friends won't be harmed. Only the ultimate goal of becoming the world's most powerful droid and the sole being to what controls wars is what I want. But if your friends would want to...they can challenge my authority once they regroup..."
Through the eye holes of his helmet, Victor stares a hole through Supremeo waiting for his answer. As Supremeo contemplates what he should do. A voice in the background says, "Do it..." Supremeo looks to the side and sees Bernard Sullivan with his helmet off tending to a broken piece of his armor.
Sullivan approaches Supremeo and tells him, "You have tech in you that senses if he's lying or not right? What do you see?"
Supremeo tells Bernard, "Nothing. It seems like he's telling the truth." Bernard tells supremeo, "If there's still a hint of the Victor I know that's in there he'll keep his word."
Supremeo looks back to War Hawk with intensity. Both droids anticipate their next move. Supremeo then puts both his palms toward the enemy droid.
War Hawk's eyes twitch in shock. Then in a split second through Supremeo's tech, the two stones that allow him to shoot powerful energy blasts through his hands are released and dropped to the dirt.
From under his breath Maxwell says, "No not like this." He makes his way to attack War Hawk but is stopped by Kapurma when the tortoise puts a hand on his chest. The old tortoise tells Maxwell, "Trust both of their decisions to do this."
Maxwell unsure of Kapurma's advice still listens and does not approach the enemy droid.
As Bernard and Supremeo continue to hold their end of the bargain the aiutu droid asks Bernard Sullivan for a blade. He gives him one attached to his waist. Supremeo examines the knife given to him. It's made of 100% inekium. He then strikes at the edge of the gemstone in his chest continuously. All of Supremeo's friends look in shock as he jams the blade in his chest over and over again in hopes to pull the gem out.
As he keeps hitting the side of the gemstone sparks begin to emanate Making Maxwell say to Kapurma, "He's got through. Now he can pull the stone out..." as the blade makes a way for Supremeo to pry it out of his chest. He tells Bernard, "I want you to give the stones to him when I pull the last one out."
Bernard nods in agreement.
A few seconds later Supremeo manages to pry the gem out. As it's still attached to wires connected to his body. Supremeo pulls the stone and its attachments out slowly. Known by Supremeo, his creators, and friends. There are pain receptors put in his body to ensure he fights with perfect technique and skill, and not just go into fights with reliance only on his tech.
Supremeo's friends watch in horror as they see the aiutu droid grimacing in pain with the center gemstone in hand. The situation Supremeo is in, is an equivalent of a human being pulling his own heart out of his or her body.
As Supremeo stares at the center stone that gives him life he remembers conversations Elias would have while he was in his chamber. Those conversations were Elias's dream of repairing the world, and correcting what he thought were mistakes in his life. The dream also included future generations of people not knowing what struggles the current generation had to endure.
Then Supremeo remembers something else that Elias would tell him. He'd say one of the ways he could see this dream coming true was by trusting the people around him. His friends weren't only great warriors. They are also people of great morals and will stronger than the inekium metal his body is made of.
Elias would tell harrowing stories of his friends rescuing civilians who got caught in fights they did not initiate. Those stories inspired other great people to protect their communities and rebuild. People like Victor joined. Victor would recruit Rainer, Sarah, Ryan and later Zachary would join their group. Those soldiers would rally hundreds of troops that would later turn into thousands to fight the same fight Elias was fighting.
Elias would tell Supremeo while in his chamber, "If I'm gone before you wake. I want you to know you can trust in these people to fulfill this dream I have. They have every bit of good intentions I do." as Supremeo remembers this conversation from Elias he finally pulls the stone out with all his strength.
And just like that with one more hard pull while Supremeo grips the center stone. It's fully released from Supremeo's chest plate armor.
The aiutu droid instantly shuts off. The center stone drops to the floor. Supremeo soon follows, but is stopped when Sullivan places his hand on Supremeo's chest plate. Sullivan holds Supremeo steady then picks up the center stone. He grabs the other two stones that were in the palms of the droid's hands then approaches War Hawk and Amaro.
Knowing it's his friend Victor under the War Hawk Helmet he never takes his eye off the droid. As the legendary hero is face to face with the menacing droid, Amaro grins and begins to mock his opponent.
Bernard tunes him out and only focuses on the droid. He then hands the stones to Victor, only for Victor to tell him to hand them to Amaro. He takes one last look at the droid and then heads to Amaro to hand the stones off.
Still with a cocky smile on his face. He tells Sullivan, "Thanks for the fight! I'll take this as a win in my book! I beat the legendary Bernard Sullivan! Haha!"
Sullivan ignores Amaro as he walks away with War Hawk. As both enemies and the eyas droids head out with the stones in hand.
War Hawk turns to Bernard and tells him, "It was great to see you Barney. Maybe we can talk more at our next meeting." as War Hawk continues to head out. Amaro tells Sullivan, "We got some Repairs to make. And by the looks of it. You do too! Ha, ha, ha!"
As the two continue their departure, Sullivan glances at the de-powered Supremeo.
His two foes begin to fly off with the eyas droids but not before War Hawk leaves Sullivan with a message. He tells him, "If you want to know where we could have that next meeting, I'll be on the Red Planet. I'm sure the people there would love to see you."160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Ftuxol0sx

Bernard stares intensely at his two enemies as they begin to fly off. Once both are gone Maxwell runs to Sullivan and says, "HEY! What are we gonna do?? Supremeo was one of our biggest guns to stop guys like Amaro and look what he did to Victor!!"160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjaYqSLJZk

Sullivan tells Max, "Relax kid, first we need to get Zach to safety and next well put out these fires. Don't forget we're in the razhdarchidae's nesting grounds.
As the King approaches him, Bernard acknowledges the King razhdarchidae with a head nod. Kapurma and the liberated razhdarchidae are the last to converge with Sullivan, Maxwell, and King Raz. Bernard tells everyone, "Let's get to work!"
The crew put their differences aside and begin to put out the flames their enemies spread through the dinosaur's nesting grounds.160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNWLcswTYo

moments later
With the last flames put out, the crew gathers around Supremeo then Bernard answers Maxwell's question. He tells Max and the rest of the crew, "You know those stones that we gave up? Those are man-made versions of tech from here."
Kapurma's eyes light up as he hears this and he says, "The sun crystals?" Sullivan replies, "Yes." Kapurma begins to explain to the rest of the crew telling them, "Only 10 can be produced every 100 years."
Maxwell asks, "Where can we find them?"
Sullivan tells Maxwell, "On the peak of inekium mountain."
Now confused Maxwell asks, "Why are they at the peak?"
Sullivan tells Max, "about 180 years ago inekium mountain appeared over Edenn."
Maxwell visibly confused says, "What do you mean appeared?"
Bernard tells everyone, "I mean exactly what it sounds like. It appeared! That's not the strangest part of it all. It also looked like it was being. And the pilot was none other than your ancestor, Cyrus Caine!"
Kapurma confirms this by saying, "Yes and I was the one who saw him at the peak as it landed. It took millions of life away from this land."
Maxwell asks Kapurma, "What did he say? Why was he piloting a damn mountain to Edenn of all places!?"
Kapurma tells Maxwell and the others, "I don't know. It seems he didn't have enough time to tell me."
A look of sadness comes across Kapurma's eyes as he continues to explain to Maxwell what his ancestor did to provide their worlds with Inekium. He tells Maxwell and everyone else, "As I reached the peak. I saw Cyrus covered in blood. He just looks at me and tells me he's sorry. Cyrus opens a portal next and, then just Jumps into it. No one heard from him since. As I examined the area I only saw his portal tech attached to a control board. That board from my dimension and yours looked 100% alien. And to the other side of the control board was what your father called the sun crystals."
Bernard Sullivan would explain further by saying, "Your father found out the crystals that sit inside the mountain peak's walls Not only pilots this monstrosity, but it also helps in regenerating the mountain of its inekium supply. Learning that Kapurma himself saw the power within this mountain was active for the past 100 years, Elias studied these stones and made successful synthetic versions of these powerful gems. He planned to mass produce the stones until he saw that every agency had plans to build weapons from this new source of power instead of rebuilding a world that was destroyed by weapons."
Bernard continues to tell Maxwell and the crew, "Elias shelved his synthetic gemstone project and looked for other sources of power to provide for the people once it was clear his brilliance would be used for violence once again. Back then without knowing too much about those alien rocks, your dad did not want to use any of them because of their rarity. Unfortunately, we don't have your dad's brilliance with us to make other synthetic stones, but fortunately, we know more about the alien rocks from when they first landed here."
Bernard grins then tell Maxwell, "Basically well have Supremeo up and running in no time! And I'm sure once we wake him back up he'll even be more powerful!" Maxwell asks, "How long until we head out?!" Before Sullivan could answer King Raz asks, "Yes...How long?"
The hero with the handlebar mustache looks to the beast King as he explains, "That monstrosity that was once your friend came unwarranted and disturbed the peace in my home. As my kind's King, I'd be looked down on if I didn't seek vengeance and as a thankful gesture for your friend's help I'd like to be by his side to help with the fight as soon as he wakes back up."
Sullivan tells King Raz, "Let's get Zach to safety and well fill ourselves up with a meal. Then after that, we can head out."
