Then, suddenly, he felt a great force push him back. The pain was incredible. Then, in front of him was the Commando. He stood tall as he planted his fist into his gut. Even in the pain, josh was in question.

 

How did he do that? When did these things get so fast?

 

Josh nearly fell to the ground in pain. But the commando was more than willing to help him as he clubbed Josh into the ground with a doubled-fisted smack to the back of his head. Josh's head hit the ground hard, rocks splashing away.

 

Josh couldn't get up the ground in time, even if he tired. The Commando was ready to deliver his killing blow and with such close range, there was no way to dodge in time. And as the creature came down on Josh, it stooped and turned around.

 

Behind the Commando were Dawn and Devyn, throwing stones and trying to have him step away from Josh. They were calling at it, making fun at it, taunting it. The Commando visually didn't like their display and began to walk toward them. The girls continued to throw rocks but as the Commando came closer, it held its hand out and with a simple burst of his energy aura, pushed the girls off their feet and slammed them to the ground like rag dolls.

 

The girls couldn't move and they were nearly unconscious. The blast of energy was all that they could handle. And the creature walked closer and closer to them, gathering energy for an actual energy attack.

 

“HEY LOOK BEHIND YOU!”

 

The Death Commando stopped and looked behind him as instructed. There was Josh, standing their, in his Kamehameha stance and was ready to fire it.

 

“KAMEHAMEHA!”

 

With the words and energy released, the powerful beam of energy rushed toward the Death Commando. The Death Commando attempted to fire its own attack that it had been generating but even when it fired, the blast was engulfed by the Kamehameha and so was the Death Commando. Swallowed up by the blast, the commando was destroyed and all was well.

 

Nearly dragging himself, having depleted all his energy, he made it to Dawn and Devyn's side. They were unconscious from the attack but alive. Josh made sure and then he had to lie down, too. All they could do now is hope that Baron could do his part.

 

As for the Red Baron, he was doing everything he could to stand up to the very being that had haunted his dreams for too long. Beyond his own belief, he was able to stand up against the Dark Baron and match all his attack, one right after another.

 

The Dark Baron, however, didn't seem too concerned with the fact that he was unable to get direct hits on the Red Baron. He was simply attacking the Red Baron with a shower of punches and kicks that took all the concentration and power of the Red Baron to block and dodge.

 

In the meantime, it the Red Baron had the advantage. He was able to get in a few shots that smacked the Dark Baron out of focus, and allowed for a few more. The Red Baron was able to grab onto the Dark Baron's arm and throw him into the ground next to his feet. Rocks and dirt and concrete flew everywhere like diving into a pool.

 

The Dark Baron growled slightly from the pain of the attack but was on his feet immediately, flipping back up. He shook himself off and turned around to see the Red Baron attack again.

 

“CRIMSON FIST!!”

 

The Dark Baron was once again being attacked with the Crimson Fist but he was much more ready that before. Extending his arm, he opened up his hand and opened it up and grabbed for his fist. But his attempt to counter the attack was disrupted. The Red Baron connected with the attack and hit the Dark Baron's palm.

 

A powerful shockwave of energy was released form the blow. A small fog of dust was blown around them but slowly settled on them, revealing their struggle. The Dark Baron was struggling to stop the Red Baron's attack. While the Red Baron was applying pressure to his palm, causing it to slowly bend with its power, the Dark Baron attempted to hold off the attack, forcing him to use his other hand in support.

 

The Red Baron and the Dark Baron yelled out as their called forth their own powers to over power the other. The electricity and energy jumping out form them and their attack was so incredible that when it struck a loose boulder or the ground around them, it would simply explode.

 

The Dark Baron called out to his counterpart.

 

“So, you believe that you can actually, beat me? Is that it? You think your power is stronger than mine? The first guy couldn't even dream of defeating me and resorted to cheap tricks! Your power is nothing compared to mine, RED BARON! I WILL CRUSH YOU!”

 

Then, the Dark Baron took control and was able to completely cancel out the Red Baron's attack. The red glow in the Red Baron's fist disappeared and to his great surprise, was out. Even after doing that, the Dark Baron wasn't done yet. Still pushing forward, he was able to ram into the Red Baron and send him flying back.

 

The Red Baron didn't even get a chance to scream as he flew a food hundred meters away and rolled helplessly on the ground backwards. He had the breath knocked out of him and he was momentarily disoriented. He even coughed loudly and painfully. The Dark Baron made his mark.

 

Of course, it wasn't over. The Dark Baron ran at him again, hoping to trample him. The Red Baron had no opportunity to move out of the way. And as the Dark Baron came close to him, the Red Baron took action. Positioning himself correctly, the Red Baron was able to cause the Dark Baron fall into his legs and with a powerful push, the Red Baron kicked the Dark Baron straight into the sky.

 

The crush blow to the Dark Baron's gut and chest was as loud as an explosion. And as he rocketed into the sky, he attempted to regain his composure. Shaking out of his pain, he was able to stop himself in mid-air. He floated there for a moment, looking all the way down form up in the sky as he watched the Red Baron look right back at him.

 

The Dark Baron was furious. He couldn't believe that the Red Baron was able to match him so well.

 

Who doe she think he is!? I am the master of this world! NOT HIM! I am the darkness and the power of the world, with or without his power. I will not let him make a mockery of me!

 

“So, Red Baron, you are indeed powerful and have proven that defeating my minions was easier that I would have guessed. But I tell you this, Red Baron, that no matter what power you process, no matter what you believe in or what you fight for, no matter how strong you think you are, you will no overpower me. You will not defeat me. But you will die.”

 

The Dark Baron began to draw a huge amount of energy. The Red Baron looked from below and saw and sensed how he drew in the power. But then he saw a very familiar stance. The Dark Baron put hands out in front of him and pointed them toward the Red Baron. They were in a position as if he were holding large ball. And the Red Baron knew exactly what was coming.

 

“NOW, RED BARON, FEEL THE POWER OF Superiority! DARK BARON BEAM!!!”

 

Then, a powerful amount of energy was seen from in the Dark Baron's arms. Then, a powerful and massive beam of black energy was created and sent directly toward the Red Baron. As the beam made it was down, the clouds in the sky seemed to be sucked into it. The every power emanating from it was staggering and the evil presence it was created from could probably have killed a normal human. But now the Red Baron stood, watching as it headed down toward him.

 

With little options let, the Red Baron had no choice but to counter with his won attack.

 

“BARON BEAM!”

 

The Red Baron sent the red energy beam up toward the Dark Baron's version. The booming energy that was coming from both the Barons and the beams of energy was overwhelming. The Red Baron felt himself being pushed into the ground, slowly digging through it with the force.

 

Midway, the beams of energy met. As predicted, their energies combined. They seem to become one but in becoming one, they created a vortex of power and wind. Their collision nearly ripped the landscape around them to shreds. The clouds in the sky were brushed away in an instant. The energies collapsed within themselves and then disappeared.

 

The sky became calm again. The Red Baron stood on the ground, breathing heavily, surrounded by a small carter that he had created trying to control his attack. He was tired. The attack had taken a lot of him. Usually, such an attack was necessary only once but as he watched as the beams canceled each other out, he knew that it was going to be far longer than he hoped.

 

Still in the sky, the Dark Baron was still in shape. He was still in control of his breathing. He was still okay after the whole ordeal. The attack hardly took anything away from him. And he knew the Red Baron was struggling.

 

“You see, Red Baron, you are far weaker than you look. Did you really expect to defeat a powerful demon such as myself? I am above your kind, Red Baron, I always was. An even as their most powerful, you have failed the human race.”

 

The Dark Baron laughed, which was probably a mistake. The Red Baron, infuriated by his words, began to assault the Dark Baron. Suddenly appearing in front of him, the Red Baron made an awesome attack.

 

Being caught by surprise, the Dark Baron had no time to react and was, in the next moment, being pounded on by the Red Baron. The Red Baron was connecting every punch and kick he threw at the Dark Baron. The Dark Baron's body was being spun and lashed at like a chew toy. With each blow, the Earth moved as if in fear.

 

Then, the Red Baron used a drop kick type kick that sent the Dark Baron diving toward the ground. But the Red Baron wasn't done. Charging up energy into his arms, the Red Baron fired his attack.

 

“BARON MACHINE GUN!”

 

Pushing him arms back and forth a rapid rates, even for him, the Red Baron showered the Dark Baron's falling body with dozens and dozens and hundreds of red energy balls. Covered din smoke and energy balls, the Dark Baron hit the ground so hard that it was another comet hitting the Earth.

 

The smoke and dust cleared and again, the Dark Baron stood, tall but no longer as mighty. His cape was torn, leaving but a few inches. His shirt was only clinging but no longer on and his left pant leg was cut off at the knee. Otherwise, his body as cut in several places and he was bruised badly.

 

The Red Baron, also tired and beaten, looked down at his enemy and saw that, perhaps, there was still hope.

 

“It seems that you aren't doing so well, Dark Baron. I thought you were all bad and deadly. Was I wrong?”

 

The Dark Baron didn't take lightly to the insult.

 

“HOW DARE YOU SPEAK TO ME LIKE THAT!? I am the darkness made whole and powerful. I am the Dark Lord, the Dark Baron. You are but a simple soldier and a mere human. There is no hope for you for you embrace a feeble idea of truth a justice and because of this, you will die stupidly. You have not embraced the powers given to you and you betray them because of your idealist morals. Well, I will show you that you are wrong and death is the perfect teaching tool.”

 

The Dark Baron began to fire powerful energy attack at the Red Baron. The Red Baron that is was now or never. He began to speed into the attacks coming at him and tried his best to avoid them. When eh couldn't, the simply bashed them away. Each time, an energy attack hit the ground and caused major explosions. The Dark Baron was pulling out all the stops.

 

Then, as the Red Baron was within inches of the Dark Baron, he disappeared. He had blurred away. The Red Baron fell for his cheap trick. And sure enough, the Dark Baron appeared behind him and had his arms out and pointed at him. The Red Baron tired to jump out of the way but it was far too late.

 

“DARK BARON BEAM!”

 

The Red Baron was immediately engulfed n the attack. He tried to brace himself, putting his arms in front of him. But it was too much and the blast took him over and he was caught up in it. He yelled in terror and I pain. He screamed as the energy attack lifted him of his feet and sent him flying far. Even as the energy faded, he was still flying and he hit the ground very hard. He wasn't able to get up. Everything hurt. It wasn't going to move for him.

 

The Dark Baron smiled as the accomplishment. He was most pleased with himself.

 

“You see, Red Baron, it hurts to be good, doesn't it? It hurts be alive while I am alive. You could end it, you know? Just give me the necklace.”

 

The Red Baron pulled himself up. He stood but not as tall as he once did. He was crouched over a little. He was favoring a leg. Only one eye was open for the moment and blood was seeping out of many of his own cuts and probably a gash on his back. He was in bad shape. But he wasn't about to quit.

 

“You know something, Dark Baron, you are probably right. It would be easier to just die and give you the necklace. But what can I say, I a glutton for punishment.”

 

The Dark Baron understood his meaning.

 

“Then, you will die today. You will die, nonetheless, but now you will suffer for disobeying me.”

 

The Dark Baron began to shoot small bits of energy from his right, index finger and was shooting powerful, thin beams that burnt and cut almost through the Red Baron. The Red Baron was screaming with each energy bema that hit him. He wasn't moving, he was planning for something but he didn't know if his body would hold until then.

 

The Dark Baron laughed out loud as the beams struck the battered Baron with great force and with such a great deal of inflicted pain that it was tickling him. He was enjoying the fact that soon, he would dominate over the Red Baron.

 

But soon, the Red Baron found his moment in the attack. With great speed, hew as able to deflect one last energy beam away for himself and back at the Dark Baron. The Dark Baron hadn't expected the counter and the energy hit him in the face. The Dark Baron held onto his face and stopped the attack. It was in a great deal of pain.

 

“I'M GOING TO RIP YOU INTO SHREDS YOU RED BASTARD!”

 

Regaining his sight, he looked at where the Red Baron was. He wasn't there. He had disappeared. The Dark Baron looked behind him and didn't see him there. But he then noticed a red tint in the light that was supposed to be dark. The Dark Baron looked up and with great shock, saw the Red Baron in the sky.

 

The Red Baron was surrounded in a powerful, crimson aura of energy. He was gathering a tremendous amount of energy that is almost scared him.

 

“WHAT ARE YOU DOING, RED BARON?!”

 

The Red Baron didn't answer and kept charging the attack. The Dark Baron had enough of the game.

 

“Whatever you're doing, you won't finish it! DIE!”

 

The Dark Baron shot a blast of black energy toward the Red Baron. But before it even hit him, the crimson aura consumed it. It had blocked the attack. The Dark Baron was in dire amazement and couldn't understand what was happening. It should have worked.

 

“NO! YOU WON'T WIN BARON! I WON'T HAVE IT!”

 

The Dark Baron began to charge another powerful technique but as he charged, the Red Baron spoke.

 

“DARK BARON! THIS IS FOR ALL THE EVIL YOU CAUSED! FOR ALL THE SINS YOU HAVE COMMITTED AGAINST ME AND MY FAMILY AND MY FRIENDS! I CAN'T ALLOW YOU TO LIVE ANY LONGER! YOU'RE DARK DREAMS END HERE!”

 

Then, a large, huge, giant ball of red energy appeared in front of the Red Baron. It was indeed large and probably the size of the once standing warehouse. The Dark Baron was lost in fear and awe but it wasn't going to stop him from attacking.

 

“NO, RED BARON! IT WILL BE YOU THAT DIES THIS DAY! DARK BARON BEAM!”

 

He once again sent the dark energy wave toward the Red Baron. But the Red Baron was all ready for the attack.

 

“Good-bye, Dark Baron. BARON BOMB!”

 

Then, the giant red energy ball began to move. It headed straight to the Dark Baron. Even as the Dark Baron Beam raced to it, it didn't hold. The beam simply disappeared, overpowered by the energy ball, and the energy ball kept going. The Dark Baron had no place to hid or run and as the ball neared him, he was forced to brace himself.

 

He held onto the energy ball as it came in contact with him. He tried to hold it off, push it away, but he was unable to push it away. The power of the energy ball was too strong and it continued to push the Dark Baron farther and deeper into the Earth. The Dark Baron screamed in fear and agony as his hands were burning with the heat and power of the Baron Bomb. Soon, he was completely enveloped in the ball. His body was surrounded by energy that struck him deeply and with the greatest force, and he could not escape. His screams continued.

 

The Red Baron, still charging, his hands still held out toward the Dark Baron, finished off the attack.

 

“IGNITE!”

 

With those words, the energy ball exploded with the Dark Baron inside it. His scream was drowned out and his cry disappeared as the ball collapsed and exploded, causing the entire areas to fly and the Earth itself to move.

 

Then, it died out, the bomb disappeared and in its wake, the sky cleared. The Red Baron landed on the ground, barely standing, no longer transformed. His breathing was almost out of control. He had taken quite a beating and it took all his energy to just stand. In front of him, he saw no sign of the Dark Baron. Perhaps it was finally over.

 

But that soon died. He didn't even get a chance to think about it being over before eh heard the screams. The Dark Baron power dup and reappeared as he exploded through a pile of debris that he was under. He looked far worse now. His body was covered in his own blood, his cuts and bruises were unimaginable. His eye was bleedings and his mouth was like a bad dentist visit. But he spit it all out and stood tall in the face of the nearly dead Red Baron.

 

“Sorry, honey, but its not over yet.”

 

The Red Baron couldn't believe it. He fell to the ground in fear. He stumbled over himself. He was on the floor, stricken with the reality that it wasn't over. The Dark Baron wasn't dead and he was still far from it. How was he going to beat him now?

 

The Dark Baron held his own hand out and smiled.

 

“Now let's see how you like it?”

 

Then, standing correctly, he created a giant-sized, ball of black energy, similar to that of the Red Baron's attack; only the Dark Baron made it in a few seconds and it was just as powerful. It was impossible.

 

“DARK BARON BOMB!”

 

The ball over energy raced toward the Red Baron. There was no hope to move, to live, to get out of the way, to fight back. He was swallowed up by the ball. Nothing was heard coming form him, he was simply swallowed up. Then, the Dark Baron let it explode, the second large attack to tear apart the land and whatever was in it. But this time, the Red Baron was in that attack and as it shook the Earth and wrecked the entire area, there was no sign of the Red Baron, no voice, no words, no screams. The Dark Baron laughed and laughed loudly, over the explosions, as he rejoiced in his victory over the Red Baron.
