The Red Baron
 
Knocking on Death's Door

The Death Commando came charging at the surprised Baron. With a quick jump into the air, the Red Baron disappeared from in front of his foe and into the air above him. The Red Baron looked down and was getting ready to attack when he saw the Death Commando had disappeared.
 
The Red Baron felt the vibration and sensed where he was. But as he turned around toward his opponent, the Death Commando had already made an attack and fired a blast of energy right into the Red Baron. The Red Baron was hit by the force of the energy blast and sent rocketing back down into the ground and flopping around like a rag doll.
 
The Red Baron got up as the debris and rubble around him cleared and rolled away. He gave a few quick coughs; trying to regain his ability to just move. His sleeve on his right are had torn off and he had several cuts all over it.
 
The Red Baron shook off the pain and powered up, revealing a great amount of energy. He sped off at full blast toward the Death Commando. As they connected with each other, the city shook in a violent wave as both the Red Baron and the Death Commando began to exchange several blows.
 
Floating around in mid-air, they were able to go around much of the block. Both of them seemed to be at a stalemate, both seemingly in control of the battle and not in control of the battle. The Red Baron gave yell after yell with each attack and blasted away with powerful punches and awesome kicks. Yet, the Death Commando was taking every blow, seemingly having no indication of pain.
 
The Red Baron blurred away with great speed and appeared behind the Death Commando. The Red Baron yelled out and fired his own blast of energy into the Commando's backside. The yellow beam of light brightened up the city as a humongous explosion followed, shaking the very land.
 
As the flash ended and the smoke was clearing, the Red Baron had no sign of his enemy. The Red Baron did not see his enemy, but knew that it was far from over. The Red Baron looked around and around, not moving from his position.
 
Suddenly, the Red Baron felt it. He looked up and in the smoke that was fading away came a great ball of gray energy that descended on the Red Baron. In control of the energy was the Death Commando. He had hidden in the smoke shadows and prepared a powerful attack. The Red Baron had little options and put his hands out toward the ball of energy and began to fight back.
 
The Red Baron grabbed onto the ball of energy as it slowly pushed him closer and closer to the ground. Even with his new found powers, this ball was testing his limits. The commando was only digging into his powers and burying the Red Baron with his ball of energy.
 
From afar, the Dark Baron and Kane still looked on in delight at how the Death Commando was easily taking care of the weakening Red Baron. The Dark Baron was all smiles and laughed as he took pride in his creation.

Soon, the Red Baron will be no more and I will be left as the ruler of this world.
 
The Death Commando, as if reacting to the thoughts of his master, sent the final bits of energy needed into his giant gray ball of energy and launched the completed attack. The Red Baron was not ready for the giant increase of power and was quickly engulfed in the energy.
 
The Red Baron yelled out distress as he felt the energy cover his body. He tried hard to break free of its hold but the gray energy had gotten him and he was now being sent to the ground.
 
As the Red Baron and the gray energy ball hit the ground, a flux of light filled the city and was followed by the explosion from the attack. Everything on the ground for a mile was sent blowing away like a hurricane would do. Cars and street lights were torn off their standing places and sent in all directions and buildings collapsed.
 
Soon, the explosion ended and the wave of energy faded. The Death Commando still held his position in the air and the ground was now littered with building remains and sand and dust and dirt. Having no face, it held no expression. Its only desire was to kill the enemies of its master and he had completed his assignment.
 
Kane was now celebrating his master's victory.

”Master! We are done! We have defeated your greatest enemy and now we are free to take what we please and rule where we please.”

The Dark Baron heard the words of his Kane but did not seem to show emotion to them. His focus was still on the battlefield in the distance.

”It is not over yet my minion. He is still alive. Watch...”

Surprised and not even sure that this master was correct, he looked back into the battlefield and the remains of the city. The Death Commando was also seemingly waiting for something. But many moments passed and there was no movement. All was silent. Kane was now impatient. What was it that stopped the Death Commando and the master from rejoicing?
 
His question was answered. From the rubble behind the Death Commando popped from the ground the Red Baron. Though all his clothes were torn and his body was badly damaged. He had a lot of fight left in him.
 
As he got behind the Death Commando, he was getting very close and it would be too late for his opponent to turn around in time. With that idea in mind, the Red Baron powered up and once again called on his powers.
 
“SPIRIT SWORD!”

As soon as he yelled it, he wasted no time creating it and swinging it at the unsuspecting Death Commando. With all his speed and might, the Red Baron launched a power slash and swung at the Death Commando.
 
It was in vain. As the Red Baron swung, he was close to hitting the Death Commando when his sword felt like it had hit something very hard and unbreakable. The Red Baron's sword shattered into many energy pieces and left his hand.
 
The Red Baron was in shock. But then he was able to notice it. As the Death Commando turned around, it was clear that the commando had raised a powerful barrier that his sword was unable to break through.

”Great…”

It was the last word he said before the Death Commando began to power up and turn into a speed machine. Now with the Red Baron weakened, the Commando was able to connect with every attack and the Red Baron was unable to block any of them. Like a punching bag, the Red Baron was getting the beating of his life. The Death was hitting the Red Baron so hard and so fast that he was keeping the Red Baron floating in the air with just his attack, considering that the Red Baron was too tired to make himself fly.
 
The Red Baron was unable to do anything about his condition. He simply closed his eyes and tried to think of something. He knew that the barrier that the commando was able to create was indeed powerful and it would take a little more than his spirit sword to get though.
 
With a hammer punch, the Death Commando launched the Red Baron back into the ground. The Red Baron was sent speeding to the floor and he hit so hard that he was able to bounce of the ground and land several yards from his landing spot.
 
The Death Commando landed several yards away from the Red Baron. From above, the Dark Baron was giving out orders.

”Enough playing around my child. It is now time to rid the planet of our foes. You must now kill the Red Baron. He will be given a one way trip to the pits of hell.”
 
The creature complied and began to slowly make his way toward the Red Baron. Baron was barely able to get himself up. Now feeling broken and bruised in several places he didn't even know he had, the Red Baron was having trouble moving and focusing. The blur coming to him was going to kill him unless he could do something.
 
The Red Baron tried to tap into his powers again and tired to see what would work in this sort of situation. He could not really find it.
 
It appears that I have to be smart about this.
 
The Red Baron began to stand up straight, as much as it hurt, and powered up to a very high power level. The wind was coming off from him and spreading. This did not even slow down the Commando who was now heading his way.
 
The Red Baron began to gather a great amount of energy, as much as he could at the moment. His right hand was beginning to glow a very bright red color and was growing in brightness. The Red Baron was getting ready for one last attack.
 
Kane saw what was going on and called to his Commando.

”Do not worry about his attack Death Commando. His power is not enough to break through your barrier. Now crush him!”

The Death Command took that order seriously and stopped. He was now charging another gray energy bomb. Kane was pleased.

”YES! Kill him with your Gray Bomb. Defeat the enemies of your master. Do it now!”

But as the Death Commando began to power up his final attack, so did the Red Baron. Both of the fighters were now looking straight at each other. It was a long moment of waiting as the Red Baron looked at his possibly last target.
 
It was the Death Commando who made the first move. With a simple thought, the Death Commando fired this attack at the Red Baron. This was the chance the Red Baron had been waiting for. Throwing his fist out in front, the Red Baron began to flying right into the energy bomb. The Red Baron's glowing red hand went right into the ball of energy. But this time, instead of blowing up or taking him out, the Red Baron used is ability to break a hole in the center of the bomb, allowing him to go through.
 
Kane, the Dark Baron, and the Death Commando were in shock as the Red Baton came out the other end unharmed. But there was more to it than that. The Red Baron did not finish hit technique with the gray bomb but kept going straight toward the Death Commando. The Death Commando tired to put up a barrier but the force of the punch was too breaking, breaking the shield and leaving one thing left to do. The Red Baron yelled it out for him.
 
“This is where it ends! CRIMSON FIST!”

The red energy burst from the Red Baron's hands as he combined it with his punch to break into the shield and hit the Death Commando. The force of the attack was till so powerful that as soon as the attack connected with the head, the Death Commando's head exploded and its body burst to pieces.
 
The Red Baron landed on his feet on the other side of the attack. The Death Commando was no longer behind him and he had won. The Red Baron was tired and weakened but at least he had won. Clearing his thoughts and mind, the Red Baron turned around again and looked up at the Dark Baron.
 
Kane was filled with anger and was about ready to attack with all his might but the Dark Baron put his hand out and stopped him, shaking his head and telling him that now is not the time. He turned back to the Red Baron and addressed him.
 
“It appears, Red Baron, that you are indeed powerful. I greatly underestimated you. But I can assure you, our battle has not yet ended. I will return and I can insure you, your planet will be mine and all your kind will no longer exist. But I am a fair man and I will warn you with this…”
 
The Dark Baron let his hand out and began to charge an energy the Red Baron had not seen. The Red Baron saw it as an energy attack ready to be fired at him. The Red Baron was ready and so was the Dark Baron.

”I could kill you now, Baron, but I now see that there are many more things I can gain from you. Until we meet again…”

The Dark Baron launched his attack. But the Red Baron looked at the Dark Baron and saw nothing. With a sudden jolt, the Red Baron looked under his feet as the ground began to shake. The Red Baron was about to run when a black lights began to go through the cracks in the street. Soon, a large, black explosion surrounded the Red Baron and with instant destruction, knocked the Red Baron out and he reverted to his normal power level.
 
The last thing the Red Baron saw before he went completely out was the wicked smile on the Dark Baron's face. They disappeared and the Red Baron could no longer sense them. With nothing left to do, the Red Baron fainted and he became unconscious.
