Stefan starts to slowly wake up, is it raining? Is he dead? He feels droplets of water splash onto his face, he covers his face with his hands then lets out a weak groan.

"Wake up you dummy, rise and shine." said the cat, who was actually spraying his face with water.

Stefan groans once more then quickly gets up and rubs his eyes.

"Knock it off already, let me be!" said Stefan with a drowsy tone.

The cat grows angry. With his incompetence.

"What did you say? You deserve nothing! How could you get knocked out so easily? I don't care who you were fighting, you should have won!" said the cat with pure rage.

Stefan suddenly remembers everything that happened before he would faint.

"What happened to the elementalist? Did we win?" asked Stefan with a desperate tone.

"Yeah, you're here. Of course you won." said the cat.

"What about Rares?"

"Who's Rares?"

"Uhm, fire elementalist, around my age, wears a red shirt as well."

"Oh, that kid. Is he your friend?"

"Yeah, he is. Where is he?"

"I knocked him out with a new gun I just invented. I thought he was going to capture you. I don't have neither sound nor video footage from here on Earth. I can only record your energy levels."

"Is he safe now?" said Stefan, worried.

"Don't worry, he is. He's just around a few minutes away from getting up from his sleep as well. But we have no time to waste, you must follow me. This is an emergency."

Stefan looks around him, he's in the same room he was when he first arrived here. The cats grabs Stefan's arm with his paw, and surprisingly has enough strength to pull him quickly off the bed in a rush.

"Whoa, what happened?" asked Stefan.

"It's Andrew, his plan is about to unfold. I knew this would happen. There's no time to waste, you need to take your sword and go stop him! Otherwise it's the end of… well, us. I don't think he stands a chance against the United States military. I'm sure they must have discovered evonly until now." said the cat with a worried tone.

"Evonly? What's that now?" said Stefan in an angry tone as he jerked off from his paw.

"What are you doing? We don't have time to waste! Dumba-"

"STOP CALLING ME A DUMBASS!" yelled Stefan wildly at the cat, his voice echoing within the workshop.

The cat is shocked by his sudden attitude. A cold silence rests within the workshop for a brief moment.

"You lose your battles that you never fight. You are nothing but a piece of shit. How much do you want me to go through? You fucking dipshit, I fucking hate you already-" said Stefan, insanely angry.

"I, made your hoodie." said the cat.

"I, am the one that hunts down Andrew. I, am the one who found the sword. I, am the one who refueled your station or whatever the fuck this is. You hypocritical fucker. Oh, I hate you, I hate you so much." said Stefan with an angry tone and mad expression as he slowly walked towards the cat.

The cat floats backwards, scared of what he would do. The champion sword starts shaking within the purifying station, it breaks through the glass and flies straight into his hand. The cat floats to the teleporter machine. Stefan proceeds to dash and try to stab the cat, but he arrives over the carpet. The cat pulls the lever of his machine and Stefan is teleported to the location he desired. Stefan looks around him, he's at the base of a mountain. He takes a deep breath then puts his hands on his hip.

"Not again, I don't like climbing." said Stefan in his mind.

Suddenly, a dark bolt of energy strikes right next to him, barely missing. Stefan takes quick no time to react, he looks around him and he sees Andrew in the distance.

"I missed, this is bad. Does he know what I'd want to do? No, it's impossible." said Andrew in his mind as he rushed towards the mountain.

Stefan remembers the wall of fire that the fire elementalist used against him, and he thinks Andrew might use it against him as well and slam him into the mountain, so he starts going up.

"So he knows about my plan, doesn't matter, he isn't strong enough." said Andrew in his mind, as he charged his feet then jumped onto the mountain, over Stefan.

Andrew uses dark energy to make his hands stick onto the surface. Andrew swipes his arm and unleashes dark pellets at Stefan. Stefan blocks them with the sword, but he is pushed down. Andrew continues to quickly climb onto the mountain. Stefan throws the energy slash at Andrew, which hits him directly and knocks him off. Stefan activates sword mode and jumps onto the mountain then kicks off, rotated vertically midair then lands an ax kick right into his face, knocking him into the ground. Stefan falls down afterwards and he takes no time to slam into him, sit on him and then proceed to choke him. Andrew grabs onto his arms and charges up energy which follows into an explosion powerful enough to knock Stefan off him. While midair, Andrew dashes and roundhouse kicks him into the mountain then grabs his head and slams it into the mountain. Stefan's sword mode deactivates. Andrew decides to leave him there and starts rushing up the mountain. Stefan remains on his knees, he spits a bit of blood down. He quickly brushes it off, and with pure bloodlust in his eyes, he puts his sword on his back and starts running up the mountain, easily catching up to Andrew. Stefan swiftly punches Andrew in the head, which bangs against the surface of the mountain as a consequence. Stefan tries to chokehold him from the back and slit his throat, Andrew suddenly vanishes and kicks him down. Stefan breaks his fall by sticking his sword into the mountain then rushes upwards once more. This time Andrew has a big distance advantage until the top. Stefan activates sword mode once more and rushes. Andrew reaches the top of the mountain a few seconds before Stefan does. Andrew starts to blow up what appears to be random parts of it.

"Where is it? Where is it?! I need to find it before he gets up here!" said Andrew desperately.

Stefan eventually reaches the top of the mountain as well. With a deadly expression he rushes and punches Andrew in the face with his right arm, using both his energy punch, pushing Andrew greatly into a rock, turning it mostly into pebbles. Stefan's sword mode deactivates but he holds his sword harder than ever, ready to finish it all. Andrew groans as he slowly gets up from the rubble, but to his surprise, he found what he desired.

"Heh, thanks, couldn't find it without you." said Andrew.

"Explain! I'm tired of this nonsense, tell me what's going on!" said Stefan in the angriest tone he ever had yet.

"Heh, I want to kill the cat. Simple enough, right?"

"No, there's more. I'm sure there's more."

Andrew's smile fades off his face and he deepens his tone a little.

"Around the mid 1900's, the cat created a team which was supposed to get him materials for his workshop. One of his workers killed my grandfather. My granduncle tried to avenge him, but he fell to the hands of the same mercenary. I will not tolerate this any further. Now that they're all gone due to various causes, I just need enough power to open a portal into its workshop. You wouldn't understand this. Dark elementalists have been oppressed for years. The reason being just the obtainment of their element. This is unfair! I'm going to make a world a better place, not only for dark elementalists, but for every single elementalist! That's why, I will betray the military! I will carve my own path! I, will be the one who will bring justice to every single oppressed elementalist. And it all starts with the death of this animal…" said Andrew, filled with pride within his speech.

"What the hell are you talking about?! Are you trying to liberate a race? And how are you going to do that anyways? You can't ever defeat the human military!"

"True… not like this… however… with the power of the most powerful biosystem on Earth. Specifically created by a mysterious elementalist grandmaster, thousands of years ago, just to pluck out the energy of this entire zone to rebel against humanity!" said Andrew, with insane pride.

"What does the cat have to do with all of this?"

"I need his teleportation technology, to be able to open the rift between the Elementalist World and the human world!"

The dust cloud clears, Stefan sees a bright yellow orb behind Andrew.

"And it all begins now." said Andrew as he moved his hand over to the orb.

Andrew grips the orb with his hand. Vein-like lines spread across the entire mountain and the green fields next to it, however, a sudden small burst of energy ignites from the orb, which repels his hand off it. Andrew pants heavily then looks at his hand.

"Too much… I can't bear its energy, not even close…"

Stefan watches everything happen right before his eyes, with no hesitation he sends an energy slash, hitting Andrew directly and raising another dust cloud.

"Will you stop tickling me?" said Andrew as he stretched his arm and strangled Stefan.

Stefan quickly reacts and stabs his arm, letting him go. Stefan falls down, but gets up quickly and releases a series of energy slashes. Andrew easily dodges all of them then kicks Stefan. Stefan slides back, Andrew jumps and launches a punch with his right arm which is parried by Stefan with his sword. Stefan flourishes his sword then stabs Andrew once more.

"You think it will work a second time?" asked Andrew, with a smile.

Stefan grows angrier then proceeds to kick the sword deeper into him, with a second kick the sword fully sliced into him. Stefan plucks the sword out of him and pushes him away with his foot. The visible gap within Andrew's boys quickly heals back like nothing happened.

"I don't have time for this, if he keeps chipping me off in this manner I'll run out of energy." said Andrew in his mind.

Stefan sends another energy slash which Andrew barely avoids. Stefan runs out of stamina and falls on one knee, supporting himself onto the sword, panting. Stefan grunts then proceeds to activate sword mode once more. Andrew takes no time and sends dark pellets at him as he rushes towards Stefan and smashes his head into the ground. Stefan takes this chance and uses his energy arms to unleash a barrage of punches at Andrew at incredible speeds.

"50 seconds." Counter Stefan in his mind.

Andrew releases an area shockwave and pushes Stefan away. Stefan blocks against the shockwave and is pushed back a little. Andrew launches straight at him with a punch, Stefan dodges and kicks him, Andrew dodges once more and sends a jab, Stefan ducks and strikes him in the chest. With an energy punch he uppercuts him, then jumps roundhouse kicks him into the ground. Andrew quickly stabilizes himself and backflips to get a better distance.

"40 seconds." counted Stefan furthermore.

Stefan rushes and launches another energy charged punch. Andrew charges his arm and pushes against his. They do the same for both of their hands, pushing against each other at full power. They both growl and look each other dead in the eyes as the ground cracks beneath them.

"30 seconds."

Andrew headbutts Stefan into the nose which staggers him. Andrew launches another left hook into his face and knocks him back. Stefan's sword mode ends and the sword flings out of him. Andrew takes no chance and kicks the sword off the mountain. Stefan takes notice of this and tries to recall it. Andrew launches several pellets at him which stop him.

"At last… Just the 2 of us. No more fancy weapons, no more energy, fuck it." said Andrew as he struck a boxing pose.

Stefan slowly gets up as well and tries to raise his guard. Andrew rushes him and sweeps low. Stefan falls down and grunts. He tries to get up again, he looks up then Andrew kicks him in the face. Stefan's nose starts to bleed and he's pushed back a great distance. Andrew turns his back and walks once more towards the orb of energy.

"No, I won't allow you, no!" said Stefan in his mind, as he slowly got up.

Stefan held onto his waist with both of his arms, he felt his hoodie starting to warm up. He tries to forcefully pluck the energy out of his hoodie, it seems to not work at all.

"I need to be better, I need to be better, I need to be better, I need to be better!" repeated Stefan in his mind.

The more he gripped onto his hoodie and the more he tried to take the energy forcefully out of his hoodie the more the heat rose, up to a point where he almost felt his skin melting. With one last struggle, his hoodie self-destructs, unleashing a powerful area blast, causing both Andrew and Stefan to collapse.

An unknown amount of time passes, Stefan barely opens his eyes… No, just one eye. He feels like he only has one. Let alone having the power of opening both of them. He barely squints it, seeing with a blurred sight, an unrecognizable figure grabbing him.
