The Red Baron
 
Legend Reborn
 
The Dark Baron looked out into the ruins of a once productive and beautiful place. Even with the warehouse in the middle of it all, the area was nice and was filled with lush grass and a few trees here and there. But after the battle between Earth's most powerful warriors, it looked no better than a junk yard.
 
The Dark Baron stood tall. Though he was badly injured and he was even tired, he had been able to defeat his enemy and would soon be able t claim his prize, the Red Baron necklace. Joining it to his own, he would be able to transcend all other powers. He would take revenge upon this world and every other.
 
What fools they were, to develop another necklace like mine and hope that it could stand up to me. They may have slowed me down and cost my thousands of years of wasted time but that no longer matters. I will find the necklace now and I will become master of all.
 
But just as he finished his thought, there was movement out in the field. Then, he sensed him. The Dark Baron smiled.
 
“So, you're still alive. Then come and show yourself.”
 
In a pile of ash and debris, the Red Baron quickly rose as if he had just blown through the Earth. The junk and dirt flew everywhere and created a sort of dusty mist that enveloped the both of them. But as it dispersed, it was visibly clear that things were terribly wrong.
 
The Red Baron was torn apart. He was covered in all sorts of injuries. His pants were ragged and torn and it was a surprise they hadn't been ripped of his body in the attack. The Red Baron's breath was long and deep, as if he had been holding his breath and running at the same time. His body was limp and was bent a little. It was clear that he had survived the attack, but he was barely alive.
 
“Red Baron. You are one smart and powerful kid. You actually survived my attack. And you area actually able to walk after it. Well, what you may call walking right now I would say more like crawling with style.”
 
The Dark Baron laughed at his own joke. The Red Baron just looked at him, only moving to breathe, which he did a lot.
 
Oh man, I have to take this guy out but I'm completely drained. I can hardly walk. He's still got more than enough powers to cream me. I got to come up with a plan.
 
The Red Baron got into a fighting stance.
 
Well, I guess I'm just going to have to fight him. A plan wouldn't help here. It isn't like I'm going to trick him into killing himself. I just got to go full on with whatever I got left.
 
The Dark Baron laughed again at the Red Baron's persistence.
 
“So, you want to have a go at it again, Red Baron? You realize that this time, you won't come out of it alive.”
 
The Dark Baron began to rush at him and ran toward him. He got close to the Red Baron and jumped at him with a spinning kick toward the left side at his head. The Red Baron countered by doing a side-flip to this right, making the Dark Baron miss him.
 
The Red Baron got flipped onto his feet in a quick reflex. He managed to get into a position to throw a punch into the Dark Baron's chest. But when then threw the punch, the Dark Baron caught it with great ease. The Red Baron's power drain was taking its toll and he felt it when the Dark Baron grabbed tightly to his arm and spun him around three time and then into the hard ground under them.
 
The wind was knocked right out of the Red Baron. His eyes closed for a second and when he opened them again, he saw the Dark Baron plant his foot straight into this face. There was a small crack as the Red Baron was sure that he probably broke something in his face.
 
The Dark Baron took such great pleasure in crushing the Red Baron's face. He left his foot on his face, just grinding into it like putting out a cigarette. The biggest smile went across the Dark Baron. He could only enjoy this moment.
 
“I expected better from you, Red Baron. You were powerful but I guess just not powerful enough. But how could you be so powerful? You succumbed to all this crazy sit about goodness and purity that you had to have realized that such virtues only lead to pain and agony. That is exactly what you are experiencing now.”
 
The Dark Baron pressed harder. The Red Baron finally let out a scream of pain, a pain that he had seemed to be holding since the Dark Baron Bomb had overcome him. But the scream was muffled by the boot of the Dark Baron.
 
“Don't worry, dear child, I am not trying to turn you to my side like so many of my minions had tried. I don't care what you think. All I care is about your powers and all the fucking around I can do with them once you're dead!”
 
Again, he pushed harder and again, the Red Baron yelled out.
 
“If anything will come out of this for you is that you will now know that your life ahs been a waster. For all the good you have supposedly done, though I would just call it delaying the inevitable, you only ended up here, literally underfoot. Is that what you thought you would get in the end, Baron? You though being good would come with a happy ending, didn't you? Well, I'm the only one getting what I want and that's because I have all this power and I don't' allow stupid morality to stand in the way of my desires.”
 
The Dark Baron lifted his foot off the Red Baron. The Red Baron's face was drizzled in his own blood. Tears also were rolling down his eyes. Was it from the pain or the Dark Baron's words? It didn't matter to the Dark Baron. He just knew it was going to be over soon, but not too soon.
 
He lifted up the Dark Baron by his neck and held it tight. Now he was going to try and choke the life out of him.
 
“I do enjoy using metaphors to kill you. Should I kill you with kindness? Tug at your heart strings? Pull the plug? So many possibilities, only one life.”
 
The Red Baron lifted his arms to the Dark Baron's enormous hand and tired to loosen he grip, struggling as much as he could.
 
“Afraid of death, Red Baron? Well, you shouldn't have come here. But I have to ask, what is it that you fight for anyway?”
 
The Red Baron stopped. He only looked at the Dark Baron. The Red Baron's right eye was have closed, a little blood coming from it. But he was able to stare straight into the eyes of his killer. The Dark Baron's eyes wee but a shadow of his true darkness.
 
Then, a little ways off, there came Josh, Devyn and Dawn. They were making their way to the Red Baron, calling out to him. They wee trying to get him to fight. The Red Baron couldn't make out what they were saying, but he could tell what it was they wee trying to say.
 
The Dark Baron didn't appreciate their interruption. He raised his hand out toward them and gave them a stern look. They stopped and their tracks and were filled with fear.
 
“You silly children. You are not welcome here so back to the ashes for you.”
 
The Dark Baron sent a shockwave of energy toward them. The wave, though not energy, was still very strong and it was a car ramming into them. They flew back instantly and went several feet before they all hit the ground and didn't move after that.
 
The Dark Baron laughed but the Red Baron despaired.
 
GUYS! JOSH! DEVYN! DAWN! GET UP! RUN!
 
The Dark Baron charged an attack again and this time it was energy. He pointed it straight to the Red Baron's friends. This time, the Red Baron spoke out.
 
“NO! Leave them alone, please. They have nothing to do with this! Just let them go!”
 
“And why should I? They took out my little babies. Daddy doesn't like that. And Daddy is going to eventually kill them anyway, why not practice?”
 
“NOOOOOO!”
 
But then a blast was heard. The Red Baron dare don't to open his eyes. But then, the Dark Baron's gripped loosened and the Red Baron fell to the ground. He opened his eyes and saw the smoke and dust and the Dark Baron favoring his arm. The dust cleared and in the distance, stood the White Warrior.
 
She had used the Shinning Finger technique on the Dark Baron. But she was in no better shape than anyone else. He garments were torn and only in the important places of her upper torso were intact and her pants were riddled with tears. In places where he had no coverings, she had slashes of cuts and swollen arms and a nearly black eye. And on her left shoulder was a gaping hole, where the Dark Baron had hit her.
 
The Dark Baron was in shock and in fear.
 
“HOW? How are you still alive? Why are you still here? Are dead, bitch! YOU ARE DEAD!”
 
The White Warrior, though hurt, made her way toward him, slowly.
 
“You're right, I probably should be dead. And after all I've done, I'd deserve. But I knew I have still something, or someone, to live for.”
 
She smiled toward the Red Baron and the Red Baron smiled back. The Dark Baron was not happy with the situation.
 
“Well, then, you will both die!”
 
The Dark Baron made his way toward the White Warrior, rage and anger and hate fueling him and sending him hundreds of miles toward the White Warrior. He managed to get really close and throw a punch. The White Warrior wasn't ready for it and braced herself. But suddenly, the Red Baron appeared in front of her and using his arms in a crossed position blocked the Dark Baron's punch.
 
The Dark Baron recoiled a little but with his other hand, pulled it back and threw another punch at him. But the Red Baron ducked and behind him came the White Warrior throwing her own punch.
 
“FIST OF LIGHT!!”
 
The Dark Baron didn't' counter and time and was thrown back by the attack. He skidded through the dirt and debris for a few feet. His head was thrown back for when she hit him in the face. He pulled it aback, a little blood dripping down his nose. But even when he pulled it back, it wasn't over. The Red Baron, still crouched on the ground, fired an energy blast toward him and hit the Dark Baron with total accuracy and precision. The smoke and dust covered him and then died down.
 
The Red Baron and the White Warrior stood in stance and waited for the Dark Baron to come out. And as the dust cleared, they could see that their powerful attacks did nothing. He still stood tall and strong, hardly hurting form the attack.
 
The White Warrior turned to the Red Baron.
 
“Baron, we can't beat him like this. We're going to have to lock him up again. Otherwise, we'll lose and he'll take over everything.”
 
The Red Baron was still breathing hard, still trying to reorient himself.
 
“So, how do we lock him up?”
 
“Well, I have something I can do and your necklace Grants you the power to do the same. But the thing is that we don't have a place to put him unless you have a statue or something strong on you?
 
The Red Baron thought about it for a moment. Then he turned to the White Warrior.
 
“You said I can do it with me necklace? I have the power to lock him up?”
 
The White Warrior nodded.
 
“Ya, as long as you have a place to lock him up? Got something in mind?”
 
“Just let me handle that part. But it's now or never. We have to make our attack now. I have to beat him now. I got to take him out and lock him up now.”
 
The White Warrior stood next to him and grabbed his hand. The Red Baron turned to her in surprise.
 
“No, Baron, we have to do it. We can do it together.”
 
The Red Baron smiled.
 
“Ya, you're right. We can beat him together. And if you're thinking what I'm thinking, then we can do it.”
 
He winked at her and she nodded. The Dark Baron made his way toward them.
 
“I'm sorry to ruin your moment, you pathetic humans but I'm a bit busy trying to take over the world and I have had just about enough of your nonsense. It's time for you to die.”
 
He ran toward them again. The Red Baron, seeing this as their last chance, powered up and charged everything he had left. He this didn't work, there was nothing else that would.
 
As the Dark Baron ran to him, he swung. But the Red Baron disappeared. But as the Red Baron blurred away, he said something to the Dark Baron.
 
“You asked me what I fight for, Dark Baron. And I have figured out why I do.”
 
The Dark Baron turned as was able to see the Red Baron hit him across the face. The Dark Baron staggered but didn't fall. Nonetheless, he had not time to recover. The Red Baron slowly pounded at him, still talking.
 
“I fight for my friends and my family, Dark Baron. That's something you'll never have, never understood. You say you get whatever you want but you'll never have what truly empowers me. I fight for Josh, Devyn, Dawn, my parents, my family, Master Janus, my brother…”
 
Then the Red Baron punched the Dark Baron so hard he skidded back. The Dark Baron stood back up and was ready to take him this time; he wasn't being hurt by the attacks. But the Red Baron wasn't done. He jumped into the air and came down on him.
 
“But above all, I fight now FOR HER!”
 
Then, the Red Baron pulled out a powerful Spirit Sword. But unlike the other times, the sword was large and thicker. It was more like a claymore. And it was filled with all the power the Red Baron could put into it.
 
“SPIRIT SWORD!”
 
The Dark Baron didn't see it coming. As the sword hit him, he was pushed back and was finally hit so hard that he was completely disoriented. He was off balance and eh spun through the air like a crazed balloon. He couldn't even scream he was just too knocked out.
 
The Red Baron's spirit sword shattered into thousands of pieces. It had done it work and the Red Baron jumped back and landed next to the White Warrior. They stood close, touching, and they went into a stance. They were partially crouched. The Red Baron had his arms and palms pointed out going horizontally like he was performing the Baron Beam and the White Warrior was the same way, only her hands were vertical. The bottom of their palms touched as they formed sort of a cross.
 
The Dark Baron stood up and saw what they were doing. He wasn't about to let them do anything. He began charging all his energy, getting ready to perform his own attack. The Spirit Sword had taken a lot out of him, but he wasn't done yet.
 
“I don't know what you are planning Red Baron, but you are mistaken if you think you will win out on this day. For I will be the one who will win. I AM THE KINF OG THIS WORLD! I AM ITS NEW DARK GOD! I WILL NOT FALL TO YOUR PATETIC HUAMN ACTS! NOTHING YOU DO WILL HELP!”
 
The Red Baron and the White Warrior began to charge their energies together in unison. They stood strong and kept their focus on the Dark Baron. The Red Baron spoke out to him.
 
“No matter what you think or say, Dark Baron, you are wrong. The things that make us human are the things that make us stronger, not weaker, though sometimes we believe that. And now, we are going to punish you for all the things you have done to us humans. We're going to send you back to hell where a demon like you belongs!”
 
The Dark Baron laughed and didn't even reply. He held his arms out and fried his attack.
 
“GOOD BYE RED BARON! DARK BARON BEAM!!!!!”
 
The black energy beam of energy was unleashed, much more powerful then the last bema he shot. It shook the surface of the Earth and as it made its way toward the two fighters, it traced a trail into the ground.
 
The Red Baron and the White Warrior looked as it came toward them. And they began to chant. They began to prepare the attack that Master Janus had taught them, the legendary and nearly holy technique passed down from Goku, the Earth's savior, and his own master. They called for the attack in union.
 
“KA....”
 
“ME…”
 
“HA…”
 
“ME…”
 
And together, they fired the combined power of their joined Kamehameha Wave.
 
“HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!”
 
A powerful beam of white energy burst from their hands. They energy wave went right toward the Dark Baron. The Dark Baron's Dark Baron Beam was immediately torn asunder and the Kamehameha Wave blast through it.
 
The Dark Baron keened out in agony and despair. He tried to hold back the Kamehameha Wave but it was too much. The beam engulfed him and he screamed out a demonic cry.
 
“NO!.....YOU…..HAVEN'T….WON YET! I WILL NOT DIE!!! I WILL NOT FALL TO YOU RED BARON!”
 
But it was then that the wave not only engulfed him but it sucked him up and he was then going through the wave back from which it came. Then, he hit the Red Baron's palm and the Red Baron flew back like he was being hit all over again. The beam died out and the White Warrior turned around and went to him and ran to him.
 
The Red Baron was on the floor. He was also dumbstruck but then, after scaring Vanessa a little, smiled and spoke to her.
 
“It's over, Vanessa.”
 
And it really was. The sky turned back to normal. It was one again clear. The sun shone was more, though now it was setting a little. The White Warrior smiled kissed the Red Baron. Of course, the Red Baron kissed back. But then, the White Warrior pulled away.
 
“But, where is the Dark Baron.”
 
The Red Baron smiled and pointed to himself. But no, it wasn't himself, it was the Baron Necklace. Then the White Warrior understood. The Red Baron confirmed her belief.
 
“I gave him what he wanted. He got the necklace, or more like it has him. It will be there where he'll be trapped and he'll never bother anyone again.”
 
And as the others came to their side, beaten but glad that it was all finally over, the White Warrior and the Red Baron stood up and held each other tight. And as they all came together, the Red Baron used the last of his reaming energy to teleport back to their home where they could finally rest and morn. They had defeated the Red Baron and they could finally have peace.
