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.

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.
367Please respect copyright.PENANANn0E4LLddV
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.
367Please respect copyright.PENANAvUazJi5Qzz
The King frustrated by the little damage he does tells Supremeo. I'm gonna need gun turrets like him to make a serious dent.
367Please respect copyright.PENANA3Bf54CHHjf
Supremeo adds, "Or a rocket launcher."
367Please respect copyright.PENANAbgqKbs8dEr
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.
367Please respect copyright.PENANArtbh2oZZta
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."
367Please respect copyright.PENANAd5i1NAcNCZ
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."
367Please respect copyright.PENANAaem4BLxljK
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.
367Please respect copyright.PENANABgDWssIHlS
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."
367Please respect copyright.PENANADGc60Q2a6u
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!"
367Please respect copyright.PENANAadhNLUyh0M
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."
367Please respect copyright.PENANA4nEGMuhlPX
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.
367Please respect copyright.PENANARNLvIV7xB5
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.
367Please respect copyright.PENANAqUfnff9rmB
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.
367Please respect copyright.PENANA2Kpm928QD4
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!"
367Please respect copyright.PENANAVMfOuEFOJe
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!"
367Please respect copyright.PENANAAAK9fG42CT
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!"
367Please respect copyright.PENANArbBNhGxnDk
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! "
367Please respect copyright.PENANASWis1Rcfq0
Sigmond let's off 5 missiles.
367Please respect copyright.PENANA0Tx6rlxuh4
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! "
367Please respect copyright.PENANADYng6lT2Jw
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.
367Please respect copyright.PENANAvPpBtclOox
Sigmond looks to his feet and tells himself, "Now all that's left is the beast. Where are you at? "
367Please respect copyright.PENANA3pJyh5VamM
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.
367Please respect copyright.PENANAw07Us0nSDP
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.
367Please respect copyright.PENANACuE7b9rtnT
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.
367Please respect copyright.PENANAsw4pLD6SI6
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.
367Please respect copyright.PENANAoWWbCWvk7m
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.
367Please respect copyright.PENANAZ3uYyvcPvV
King Yafeu tells himself, "Oh no... He's not going to make it!"
367Please respect copyright.PENANAMbSmcopKfJ
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.
367Please respect copyright.PENANArFnN9ytQKp
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.
367Please respect copyright.PENANA0vSpPvUfIe
Supremeo instantly shatters the force field and breaks through the combat droid's bodies. The aiutus grab Kapurma.
367Please respect copyright.PENANAgXcpg593ci
King Yafeu throws his liquid katana toward Sigmond. It pierces Sigmond in his chest.
367Please respect copyright.PENANAv0uX6wrPd4
Supremeo follows up the onslaught with a blast from his star cannon breaking Sigmond free from the tank.
367Please respect copyright.PENANAyEDs9SHxJz
Supremeo draws a liquid Katana and pierces Sigmond's chest joining the other katana thrown by King Yafeu.
367Please respect copyright.PENANAiJJl8ZQ0ie
Sigmond crashes down to the ground and lands underneath Supremeo's feet while he holds a cannon readying a charged blast towards his face.
367Please respect copyright.PENANAgfNVVBejyh
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."
367Please respect copyright.PENANAV4w1vKpjky
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! "
367Please respect copyright.PENANA5G87POHtO9
Out of nowhere...
367Please respect copyright.PENANAm7DbZh8CN5
FWOOOOM!!!
367Please respect copyright.PENANAjpU0t7C8JQ
Supremeo blasts off Sigmond's head with his star cannon and tells Sigmond, "I'll be ready for you when you come back again!"
367Please respect copyright.PENANARpOw6dcdqQ
As soon as this happens the tank breaks apart and all combat droids shut off.
367Please respect copyright.PENANA7DhGsq6Vsa
Supremeo looks to King Yafeu. He gives him a nod.
367Please respect copyright.PENANAsBStHVu609
He heads towards the King.
367Please respect copyright.PENANANJldBSk3xi
Supremeo shuts off his meteor mode.
367Please respect copyright.PENANAwb5SxptM3p
He tells King Yafeu, "Earlier you said I was all tech and no technique..."
367Please respect copyright.PENANAcC63G3Fbwp
The King laughs and says, "Haha! Yeah sorry about that!"
367Please respect copyright.PENANAYy36hGeoWh
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."
367Please respect copyright.PENANAiFZjpgIoKw
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!"
367Please respect copyright.PENANAFwaFsHfVyO
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.
367Please respect copyright.PENANADHAFKxtK98
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.
367Please respect copyright.PENANANHLGnLQM7K
Supremeo tells the King, "Well you never would have to worry about that! We'll have your back."
367Please respect copyright.PENANAdAKfJFbMTc
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..."
367Please respect copyright.PENANACRonsS5hLj
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.
367Please respect copyright.PENANAgVLGnzXjOh
Out of nowhere Kapurma wearily replies, "Don't forget the ice cream!"
367Please respect copyright.PENANAXa7K3cYTCc
The King answers, "Yes and yes!"
367Please respect copyright.PENANAEFMVBqUOK7
He continues saying, "You guys are talented fighters I give you props..."
367Please respect copyright.PENANAdNAKQi2T23
Before anyone could answer movement is heard from a distance.
367Please respect copyright.PENANApq8ar8J9bU
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... "
367Please respect copyright.PENANASnOlVS3MLO
Once the heroes hear this. Their eyes widen as they see all the combat droids standing once again.
367Please respect copyright.PENANAam5GuWcMht
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! "
367Please respect copyright.PENANAtB7Q1DfCF9
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! "
367Please respect copyright.PENANAeCO357paAh
The three soldiers look around them and for miles, they are surrounded by combat droids.
367Please respect copyright.PENANATQbUxR5aUS
Supremeo yells, "AIUTU'S FLY US TO SAFETY!!"
367Please respect copyright.PENANAaQoN900lQU
In an instant after Sigmond gives the command. The combat droids explode killing themselves altogether.
367Please respect copyright.PENANACkQaMrHgIi
The helper droids follow their command on time and fly the heroes above the epic explosion.
367Please respect copyright.PENANAlwfVNknDdl
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.
367Please respect copyright.PENANAiqaboPtZEs
Then King Yafeu hears Supremeo yelling,
367Please respect copyright.PENANA3ExxSbPL1j
"No!
367Please respect copyright.PENANANVlc0Y5lAG
NOO!!!"
367Please respect copyright.PENANARl5QGJGTPM
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.
367Please respect copyright.PENANAlWmgE0WhHt
Supremeo makes his way toward the burning structure to aid his friends.
367Please respect copyright.PENANAfTfqYbUiEh
The aiutu sees this and immediately follows with The King with Kapurma in tow.
367Please respect copyright.PENANAJQOLPJdM6N
Many miles later...
367Please respect copyright.PENANAjXV3jQW38V
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.
367Please respect copyright.PENANAML03KqPhvl
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.
367Please respect copyright.PENANAwQ7J3TRurU
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..."
367Please respect copyright.PENANAL0tjHlWOLh
Minutes pass and Supremeo continues to look for a familiar face within the coliseum. He's yet to find one.
367Please respect copyright.PENANAWzOW9aGuGs
Once he does, he gives a smile and a sigh of relief. The same gesture however isn't reciprocated.
367Please respect copyright.PENANAPfpKTTrDi5
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..."
367Please respect copyright.PENANAFTVx8m2LfT
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."
367Please respect copyright.PENANAfW36aQpR96
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."
367Please respect copyright.PENANAvAmGppAUyz
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...
367Please respect copyright.PENANAXvbKR9LMEI
Supremeo: WHAT!?
367Please respect copyright.PENANApgjuIYYUW3
Sylvia: WHAT!?...
367Please respect copyright.PENANAv8ruz41RyV
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.
367Please respect copyright.PENANARbi5a4n9v2
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!.."
367Please respect copyright.PENANA1JAl7Lflbf
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.
367Please respect copyright.PENANAykugh1bvkT
As Zach puts the phone to Richard's ear he says to his fiancee, "Sylvia... tried...I'm so sorry."
