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.
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLq7lZyMzC
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.
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfu6VnggavS
The King frustrated by the little damage he does tells Supremeo. I'm gonna need gun turrets like him to make a serious dent.
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYOEevvxjv
Supremeo adds, "Or a rocket launcher."
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYt8MMkpKBe
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.
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVymHYtLVQy
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."
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75dkNBEw0n
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."
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5SKzgA3Li
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.
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifwMly0b39
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."
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWIPRtqc6O
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!"
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj06M2LkNh8
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."
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOvXw0DZpM
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.
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRFJ82WIiH
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.
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4IFdvV1lz
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.
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGY8i3ju81v
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!"
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtAo7MJFwI
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!"
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIpRJasYgx
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!"
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXOFxg1Iqt
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! "
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMF0WoacxLI
Sigmond let's off 5 missiles.
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPbQ0WzR4q
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! "
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYATmEuF5il
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.
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUb8Hyt6Vp0
Sigmond looks to his feet and tells himself, "Now all that's left is the beast. Where are you at? "
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJYliEa5po
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.
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfeaKiMZaS
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.
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVg5ia1Ggj
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.
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkNglrMuhA
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.
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmaCnDIjb6
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.
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8t6YeQvqh
King Yafeu tells himself, "Oh no... He's not going to make it!"
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvhirBS6xS
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.
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGhsSZV8x0
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.
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VOeIlVXvm
Supremeo instantly shatters the force field and breaks through the combat droid's bodies. The aiutus grab Kapurma.
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSPUSa1Z9o
King Yafeu throws his liquid katana toward Sigmond. It pierces Sigmond in his chest.

Sigmond crashes down to the ground and lands underneath Supremeo's feet while he holds a cannon readying a charged blast towards his face.
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3fi8iWOYC
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."
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPpMrq3hnb
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! "
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqDIiam25P
Out of nowhere...
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf55tXnn5sS
FWOOOOM!!!
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhN9JLnZHqc
Supremeo blasts off Sigmond's head with his star cannon and tells Sigmond, "I'll be ready for you when you come back again!"
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZHb2haGj7
As soon as this happens the tank breaks apart and all combat droids shut off.
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOhrlmdUMy
Supremeo looks to King Yafeu. He gives him a nod.
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNtdhtJtqX
He heads towards the King.
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrdZA1g5RK

397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoZOGu5HJE
He tells King Yafeu, "Earlier you said I was all tech and no technique..."
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Gk4MVO3dC
The King laughs and says, "Haha! Yeah sorry about that!"
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuh1Lh5KXE0
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."
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QnhQLJU3M
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!"
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcFzHGVu3e
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.
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKSb0rOQfH
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.
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHwj8fUXIE
Supremeo tells the King, "Well you never would have to worry about that! We'll have your back."
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeX0PYb6AtW
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..."
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB97NqBSHk9
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.
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNW6jlH8JON
Out of nowhere Kapurma wearily replies, "Don't forget the ice cream!"
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5ZngKtxc1
The King answers, "Yes and yes!"
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXxPOYblPL
He continues saying, "You guys are talented fighters I give you props..."
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy833U9Zq1x
Before anyone could answer movement is heard from a distance.
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVODyWNpdc
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... "
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2kBfl11Ll
Once the heroes hear this. Their eyes widen as they see all the combat droids standing once again.
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgXCy1834t
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! "
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZWUyLzHEs
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! "
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtPmPFokJl
The three soldiers look around them and for miles, they are surrounded by combat droids.
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFno7Eqeoq
Supremeo yells, "AIUTU'S FLY US TO SAFETY!!"
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBXGxAyRGz
In an instant after Sigmond gives the command. The combat droids explode killing themselves altogether.
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3HdxQBHzI
The helper droids follow their command on time and fly the heroes above the epic explosion.
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5P3rpqI25o
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.
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmPrfYp9ar
Then King Yafeu hears Supremeo yelling,
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYViEQabKw
"No!
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHSIlhNid2
NOO!!!"
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZjRo8VRnb
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.
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGfJubIc5t
Supremeo makes his way toward the burning structure to aid his friends.
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxaRTo4RoRH
The aiutu sees this and immediately follows with The King with Kapurma in tow.
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW454xC7OmX
Many miles later...
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktjqceZBcJ
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.
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3N7yZumoX
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.
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbnposoOcQ
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..."
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnjBWZJUss
Minutes pass and Supremeo continues to look for a familiar face within the coliseum. He's yet to find one.
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJs3MBRu6n
Once he does, he gives a smile and a sigh of relief. The same gesture however isn't reciprocated.
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktmDGiDItx
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..."
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvaLNwRFdIf
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."
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGzmbxw53j
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."
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12h64Zu6dR
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...
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsW3RlA5l0Y
Supremeo: WHAT!?
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4L2qUcD8x
Sylvia: WHAT!?...
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDrfGmoua5
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.
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrIDPe4jez
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!.."
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9frjbhmzMp
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.
397Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWJblRwHh4
As Zach puts the phone to Richard's ear he says to his fiancee, "Sylvia... tried...I'm so sorry."
