Desert: Hulk jumping?

Eclipsa: Are you nuts? The injury is heavy and fragile, we won't risk opening it up!

Desert: But....but.....

Rubik: Enough, you two, we'll find a solution to this dilemma.

Haw: 3 of us can just latch on to Desert as he hulk jumps, Playful and whoever else can just use these 2 teleportation devices we found.

Mann: No way, bitchy lieutenant man was here? Is this where he got them from?

Haw: I'm not sure, but we found them, so.... yay?

Eclipsa: I'll stay with Playful.

Rubik activated a tracking arrow in his quiver. Normally he'd fire it on an enemy and activate it after that, but he never thought he'd use it for something completely different. He gave the tracker device to Eclipsa.

Rubik: It has our coordinates. When the tracker beeps, you use the teleportation device. Should be simple.

Eclipsa: Ok...

Haw: Well, I guess we'd better go off to-

Before they could speak, Desert had already grabbed Rubik, Haw and Mann. He ran off and started hulk jumping to the Town, it would take him a few minutes to get there since his jumping distances were so massive.

Haw: SLOW DOWN!

Mann: WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!

Rubik: SWEET LORD BABY JESUS PLEASE LET ME LIVE!

Desert: WOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

The Arsonists had met their grave, and the last one had his heart pierced by Addfire's scimitars. The whole group was panting due to how tiring it was, except Secretive who noticed something.

Secretive: Oh! You're injured!

Spicy: Huh? Wha? Yeah....uhhh.... long story.

Secretive: Aww....

Secretive motioned her hand, a green glimmer emerged from her hand. She motioned to the spicy, the green glimmer followed and travelled to his wound. The glimmer scattered across the wound and dissipated. The patches fell off, revealing a perfectly healthy chest. Spicy was spellbound.

Spicy: What?! How?! Did you just..... what?!

Secretive: You can thank me later!

YIS came back, looking at the whole group reunited. He smiled and advanced towards.

YIS: Waddup orgy fuckers!

Addfire: UUUUGHHHH.

Before he could dick them any further, a random large-sized being crash landed few meters away from them, 3 other normally-sized men fell off his back.

Haw: Don't you dare do that again! *cough*

Mann: *cough* Lord..... Gaben.... *cough* .... Thank you....

Rubik: Hulk jumping..... *cough* ...... never again......

Desert: That was fun! We should do that again!

Other three: NO!

Desert: Why? It's fun!

Before they dived into an argument of whether hulk jumping is reliable or not, Rubik activated the beeper of his tracker device. Playful and Eclipsa teleported in shortly after. Eclipsa explained the wound to Secretive, and she did her job of healing once again. Playful woke up from coma, slightly groggy, but safe and sound. The whole group altogether were happy to see each other.

Haw, in the background, went off to Ghosty, asking him for anything about what he needed to know about the mayor and such. After all, it was only Ghosty, Addfire and Spicy who knew about what happened to the mayor. Haw started rethinking his investigations.

A little far away from the group were Addfire and Spicy, sitting together and marvelling at the wonders of the unification.

Addfire: It's wonderful....

Spicy: Yeah....

Addfire: After all this.... after all these years, we're finally back together. I can't imagine anything going wrong after this!

Spicy: Team's all together again, we can fight back! Just like the old days! We'll restore Drakkonbane!

Spicy was slowly gravitating to Addfire, and had thought it was soon time to confess....

Addfire: I agree! OH! You love stars! We could look at them when the sky is pure again! And we can name each star, and see our favorite ones and-

Spicy grabbed her by the shoulders and turned her to face him.

Spicy: But you are my one beloved star...

Addfire blushed as red as a tomato, she never felt so flattered in her life. What followed was a gentle passionate kiss between the two. When they were done, her emerald eyes were glittering with happiness to it's top as she had a smile drawn on her face. She was as beautiful as the eye could possibly witness. Spicy was molten with love, he hugged her passionately. As always, YIS came in and broke it all up with something weird.

YIS: Hey! Addfire! You need to come see this!

Addfire: Oh, of course! Spicy, wanna come?

Spicy: Sure, let me get my revolver over there and I'll follow you.

YIS: Come on! You won't believe this!

Addfire scurried off with YIS to see this "thing" he was hyping. Spicy went to bring his revolver without wasting time so he can get along with his soulmate. Haw was still thinking about what Ghosty told him and what he knew. He shortly snapped after it. He found the culprit. He ran attempting to find him, but he was too late.

YIS: Look!

Addfire saw a bunch of mafia gathered around behind the hill next to the town, and there was some type of new robot model at the front of their group.

Addfire: Wait, what is this? What the-

Before she could understand what was going on, she felt a powerful smack on her back that crippled her to the ground. YIS dropped his stick and ran to the robot model in an attempt to get in it. The Godfather was standing there, smiling at the work done.

Haw encountered Spicy and started asking him in a rushed manner.

Haw: Where's Addfire?!

Spicy: What?

Haw: TELL ME NOW!! Where is she?!?

Spicy: Over there-

Haw: No...oh no....NO....this can't happen!

He sprinted to where Addfire was, still repeating "no" anxiously. Spicy got worried as well, and sprinted right after Haw.

YIS had got into the robot model and had already activated it fully.

Godfather: Behold! Robot Z!

Haw and Spicy made it to the scene, with Haw clenching his teeth at the sight of the mafia and the culprit in the robot while Spicy was helping Addfire up.

YIS: Hahah! About time!

Haw: I should've known.... you filthy scum.

The rest of the group made it to the area as well after seeing Haw and Spicy sprinting, they all fell silent as the following conversation took place.

Haw: It all adds up now.....

YIS: Jeez, you're one bad consig to figure this out when the plan has already been executed! Hah!

Haw: Dirt.... the only one who could possibly have dirt was your stick, because you originally took it from the ground, and you always hit the ground with it during battle. The motive was there, you weren't valued enough in The Iron Shield. You were absent when it all happened.

Spicy: So that's why you cursed about it, those maf corpses lying here were part of your rotten crew! You wanted to try and ambush us! When it all went wrong, you must've ran off to your mafia for plan B or something!

YIS: God you're all so dumb, my boss really did nail this plan. Took you long enough!

Godfather: Kill the target, you know who.

YIS: I sure do!

The robot was a humanoid model. It was full-on black with traces of red. It had yellow eyes and yellow horns. It also had red plates on it's chest and a ton of other parts that served combat purposes.

YIS boosted forward for a punch towards his "target". Desert came in the way, but the robot's punch had the most ridiculous power, it knocked him right through the hill, and 80 meters far from the battlefield. Everyone except Haw, Spicy and Addifre tried firing as much as they can at the robot, but YIS effortlessly released a pulse wave that threw them all back to where Desert was. Haw unsheathed his katanas and went full-on defending and slashing with his usual tactics.

YIS maxxed the power of his arm hydraulics and punched in a manner too fast for Haw to keep up with, eventually getting punched back to where he was standing, crippled from the pain. Spicy attempted gravity manipulation but YIS activated an anti-gravity module in his hull, nullifying Spicy's abilities. He then smashed the ground, sending a shock wave through the Earth to where Spicy was. Spicy pushed Addfire away from him as he took the hit and got thrown off to where the rest of his crew was. They weren't heavily damaged, so they got up and ran to the battlefield in an attempt to fight the robot back.

Addfire stood up from Spicy's push and faced YIS. YIS brandished a long sword attached to the right arm of his robot and fully boosted towards Addfire with it. Addfire couldn't read his mind, he had neuro-jammers active on his robot, nullifying anything of her powers. Before she could react....it was over....

The mafia were suddenly nowhere to be seen, must've ran off while the fight was going on. YIS jet boosted away from the battlefield at a velocity too fast for the others to catch up with.

Spicy got over the hill...... and the color drained from his face. He rushed over to Addfire, lifted her up with one hand behind her back and the other behind her legs. The sword had pierced through her heart..... it couldn't be healed.

The crew caught up..... it started to rain.... blood leaked under her to the ground.

She recognized her final moments.... she flashed back to a gentle song she'd sing back then..... she thought to herself....

"Even with a single blow, all my kindness and care...came....undone...."

Spicy: No....no....no.....this can't be happening! Addfire! Please!

Not even the number of rain drops could represent the sad thoughts each and every single member had.

"But I couldn't let myself, abandon battle and run...."

She slowly lifted her right hand to Spicy's face as her left one just dropped dead towards the ground. She caressed his cheeks and smiled with her emerald eyes, barely shining anymore.....

Spicy: Not now.....not this way......you can't just die yet!

Tears started trickling down his cheeks as he embraced her gentle caressing....

He knew it was futile, but he still hoped.....

"Never thought I'd ever get, with my friends all so far......"

He continued to hope, but his eyes were flooded in tears, his soul was devoured by sorrow and the essence of his life passed away before him when he heard a verse from her.

It was the 4th and last verse, the only one she said outloud for Spicy to hear.

"Just remember.....you'll always be my loved........star......."

With that, her smile faded away. her eyes slowly closed. Her right hand fell from his face and onto her chest. Her head slowly rotated towards Spicy's chest. Her body went cold....

Haw slowly approached Spicy, patting him by the shoulder, but Spicy viciously shrugged his hand off. Haw understood his body language and backed off: "Leave me alone!"

Spicy fell to his knees, still holding her. Still holding the pillar that kept his life all going. Still holding his love. Still holding the core of his soul.

Desert couldn't even close his fists...

Playful broke inside...

Haw's confidence ceased...

Mann picked a red rose out of his suit...

Hunter looked at Secretive, hoping she'd know a revival technique...

Secretive sadly shook her head...

Eclipsa saw what Secretive did, and she fell to the ground as well, crushed and crying...

Unreal could do nothing but look at the ground...

Rubik dropped his bow...

Ghosty's soul turned dark blue...

Spicy.......he looked to the dark sky upon him, the cursed clouds that sealed the reality of this tragedy, the absence of hope....

He let out a cry, a cry like no other. A cry of complete desperation, grief and loss of hope. It was a cry that passed through no ear in Drakkonbane unheard...

His eyes lost color, his arms were weak.....

Silence lurked over the area.....

The Shield has fallen...
