“I don't need the transport vessel. So just let me go home now.” you hear Hit say, looking up towards his voice. Seeing him standing on the edge of the platform the Destroyer is on. “I can't continue.”
“Oh, I see. You're quite the jokester, aren't you?” Champa replies, suddenly a bright source of light appearing up there. One that makes your skin crawl, meaning one thing: the energy of the Destoryers, that which erases all that touch it!
“So, that's how you want to play this?” you hear Hit answer, along with several gasps from his other fighters. Immediately you struggle to push yourself up, Meloka realizing almost instantly and helping you rise. She gets under your right shoulder, flying off the ground as Caulifla gets under your left, helping you stand once again.
“Over and over, you ignored my direct orders. And if that weren't bad enough, you were disqualified for landing a killing blow on your opponent!” Champa snarls, voice wavering with anger. “There's no way I'm letting you leave this place alive.”
“Lord Champa, please! I'm begging you!” Cabba shouts, Meloka and Caulifla flying up into the air so you can see the scene unfolding. You see Hit standing before Champa, Cabba between them with his arms out. Only for Champa to create another ball in his other hand, pointing the energy of Destruction towards Cabba as well.
“That goes for you too!” he snarls viciously. “Each and every one of you so-called fighters has failed and humiliated me! And for that, I'm going to destroy all of yooou!”
“Dammit.” you mutter, powerless to stop him. Even at full strength you don't have what it takes to stop a Destroyer, much less in the state you are now. But then, as everyone's silent in that moment, you suddenly feel something. Your Berserker Soul suddenly reacts, you getting the feeling it is trying to go after an even stronger power than Champa. And, turning your head down to your left, wonder who those three people down on the arena are? And why you get such an ominous feeling from the tiny one in the middle? Who ARE they?
