The monster called itself Arkadon as it tried the same attack again. The two duck down from its attack. It attempts to lure them close to the water, but Tannen pulls it to the surface with his scythe allowing them to slash away at it.

“Let’s skewer this thing.”

     Arkadon then grabs Tannen by the robe, pulling him into the water. They both wrestle with each other in the waters as Alistor hesitates.

“Tannen? Oh no….”

     Unsure of what to do, he stood by as the battle continued underwater. Arkadon attempts to wrap its body around Tannen, putting him in a tight bind.

Alistor continues to stand by.

“I need to do something. But what?” Alistor wondered.

     His blade then reacts, forcing the spirit to summon itself.

“Stop being a pansy and get in there.” Suggested the spirit.

"But I never fought an enemy underwater. Plus, I hate getting wet."

      He continued to hesitate as the spirit nodded. After a brief second, Alistor got pushed into the water. He joins in on the brawl, but it is too late. Tannen freed himself from Arkadon's bind by shifting the currents from his magnifying glass with the darkness.

"I got this," Tannen assured.

     Mud bursts open, draining the water in the room. Arkadon's gears quickly short circuits from the mud in place. Unable to move, Tannen's scythe swung the monster toward the generator, destroying it.

“And I have to get wet for nothing.” Alistor sighed.

     The two quickly proceeded into another chamber. Looking for the remaining switch needed to deactivate the barrier.

“Where could that last one be?” Questioned Alistor as he continued to dry himself.

     After the defeat of the two monsters, a new path opened for them. The new way leads them to a new set of stairs underground. They find themselves eventually in a small aquatic maze with the water levels rising and lowering over time.

“Just great more water.” He complained.

     Tannen didn’t seem to care, but Alistor finally stopped after the Rose sword reacted and shinned violently. The Rose Spirit summoned itself once again.

“Follow me.”  

     They follow the Rose Spirit through the maze as waters keep rising and lowering. To their surprise, it was the last generator to destroy. Tannen quickly destroys the last of the generators.

“And that’s the last one! Let’s go.” Alistor jumped.

      The spirit stopped him in his tracks.

"Not yet! There's still something here." The spirit pointed out.

“Like what?” Alistor wondered.

"For a young warrior, you try too hard. Is this kid always in a hurry?"

     The spirit directed his attention towards Tannen.

“Sadly yes…. He can never sit still” Tannen shrugged.

      The spirit approached a hollow wall for them to examine. Taking a closer look, they notice a slight crack.

“I can feel some air breezing from the other side.” Alistor noticed.

“Stand back for a minute.”

     Tannen destroys the wall, revealing a hidden chamber. The three enter the room to find what lies ahead.

“It seems Baronia hasn’t made it in here yet.”

     Alistor and Tannen follow the spirit to find another soul that awaits awakening.

     The Rose warrior stepped aside as they both approached the weapon. The object appeared as a small axe different from the Rose sword.

"The source of power is one and the same. An ally calls for us." The spirit talked on.

     Tannen approaches the Rose axe.

"I'll take this one from here." He claimed the rose-shaped axe as his own as yet another spirit emerged.

     The Rose warrior was delighted to see a friend again. The newly found spirit appeared as a humanoid fighter bearing huge heavy cuffs. A column-like armor flanked his body.  

"Thank you for freeing me from eternal slumber. I am a fighter at your service. So Baronia has returned… I'll assist you with all my power. Call me any time."

     The spirits return to their weapons as they return to the previous room.

"Oh, this isn't good."

   Pawns waited for them at the point where they destroyed the last generator. Tannen skims the area for an opening.

"It seems they outnumber us. There's no way of getting around. We'll have to clear a path then."  

     Grunts with shields arrived at the scene. Now defensive, Tannen didn't hesitate to make his first move at the swarm.

“Let’s see what you can do.”

     The Rose fighter emerged as Alistor got out his warrior to join in. The two spirits charged right in. Rose fighter jumped in midair, crashing down on the shielded pawns causing some to tumble down. Tannen draws out his other weapon alongside Alistor to fend off part of the army.

“Look at them go.” Alistor pointed.

    Rose Warrior cuts through a good part of the swarm as Rose fighter crushes through the lines of shielded Pawns with his fist. Tannen suddenly pulls out of battle, leaving Alistor to defeat the few remaining soldiers. Another wave of Pawns suddenly arrived on the scene.

“A second fleet? Give me a break….” Alistor gasped.

“Let’s end this now. Show us your finisher.” Commanded Tannen.

     Rose Fighter was bound to the command as he spread his fist. Energy beams started firing away rapidly at the second wave, taking them all out individually. The battle ended as the fighter laid its arms down to rest.

"Not bad at all," Tannen said. "We didn't have to use up too much energy."

     The two spirits return back into their weapons as the two backtracks to the main room.

     They finally reached the room, and Sullivan spotted the two from a distance.

"It's too late; our construction is already complete. I present Project Omega."

     A massive silo monster stands before them. Armed with rockets and many weapons around its body. The beast was powered up and ready to fight.

"This thing is huge." Alistor stepped back, hesitating, but Tannen halted him.

“No need to fear.”

     The two pulled out their Rose spirits to help do battle. Omega starts with missiles for an opening to forge the ground. More missiles started firing from its body as the four easily avoided.

"We'll have to all work together to beat it."

     The grounds started to have holes from the missile's impact. The commander watched from high above, taunting them.

“When this thing is through with you, I’ll launch an all-out attack on your measly kingdom with this grand weapon.”

     Omega starts to take motion in approaching them slowly. Alistor and Rose Warrior moved around it quickly to do quick damage. Tannen leaps onto the monster's back.

"Those rockets are integral to your monster's balance. If one of those would fall….I wonder?"

     The commander begins hesitating.

“Don’t just stand there? Do something!” Sullivan yelled.

     The monster starts to get confused as it struggles to shake him off.

     The monster crumbled the floor by stomping the ground making the four lose their balance as Tannen held on. The two spirits quickly got smacked by one of its heavy arms.

“This thing is really pushing it.”

     Tannen continued to hold on as it constantly stomped the floor, clinging onto one of its shoulders. Alistor suddenly rushed in for an attack.

"Star Breaker!"

     His attack impacts the monster's monitor. Blacking it out for the moment as sparks went off. Omega came to a complete stop as Tannen immediately slashed off one of its back rockets. The rocket collapsed to the floor, blowing up.

 “It lost its balance.” The fighter pointed.

     The monster moved awkwardly with one heavy rocket still on its other shoulders. It begins charging a heavy laser to attack them at an awkward angle. Sparks continued bursting out from the massive monster as it pushed itself.

“Ok, do we have a plan?” Alistor asked.

     The laser was directly aimed at the party as Tannen and Alistor had no choice but to improvise.

    "Rose Fighter, cling on to the monster's other shoulder." Tannen snapped. "Tell Rose Warrior to shield us as long he can."

     Rose fighter jumps up on its other shoulder as Alistor commands the warrior. Tannen fires a few projectiles at its leg. The monster feels pressured as the laser misses and hits the ceiling. Rocks begin falling over as

Rose Warrior covers them from harm. Sullivan begins stumbling.

“Are they suicidal?”

     Rose Fighter emerged from the pile of rubble as Rose Warrior blew away the debris hitting the giant monster. Parts of the beast started falling off as the rest came out unharmed.

“What? Did I underestimate their power?”

 Omega was now pretty beaten up as it fired more rockets aimed at the defenseless Rose Fighter.

"It's not over yet!" The Knight mocked.

     Both spirits took a stand against the massive monster as Alistor and Tannen watched. The gigantic monster attempts another laser attack, but the two souls work harmoniously to avoid it. The beast got pressured again, with both clinging to its other shoulder without the rocket.

“The monster…it’s falling apart.”

     The monster couldn't take anymore, losing its balance with one leg breaking off. Omega desperately fires rockets missing every shot.

"Let's do a combined finisher just for old-time's sake." The warrior mentioned.

"For old-time sake."

     Rapid shots fired away as the warrior unleashed his Final Crown Crasher at the monster's core. Both finishers impact Omega as explosions commence all around.

“I won’t forget this humiliation. You won’t be lucky next time. Next time!”

     Back in Emerald, smoke quickly erupts downtown. People are seen fleeing away from the danger as the fire spreads out. The Baronia King is seen enjoying a slow casual walk admiring the destruction around him.

“What a lovely day to conquer an entire city.” The King laughed.

      Spider Tanks and Gear Ships are seen in the background. Katty and Sairori are seen fighting off an army of Pawns.

"We're being overwhelmed. The grunts just keep on coming." Katty gasped.

"We have to hold them till the others return," Sairori said.

     Back from the Cave of Mobius, victory is cut short as the commander gives his final words to Alistor.

"You may have won, but this was all part of the plan. Right now, our grand King is claiming victory in Emerald." Sullivan snickered.

“Oh no!”

      The fear for the worse came as Alistor froze for a brief moment.

"Divide and conquer, baby. Till next time. Ta ta!"

      The commander teleports away.  

"We got to head back immediately. I can't believe this." Complained Alistor, as Tannen didn't bother to reply.

     The four rushed out of the cave, hurrying home as fast as they could. With most of the team divided, will they return before Baronia destroys their home?
