Having just defeated Let, Haru swiftly ascended the long spiral staircase
leading to the
highest point of Enclaim. The clash of swords echoed through the narrow stairway
and
his heart was filled with fear for the life of his father.

"Hold on dad! I'm coming!" He shouted while hefting his heavy weapon, the Ten
Commandments like a plastic sword despite his trim body structure.

As he reached the end of the stairs, he found himself inside a large room filled
with all
sorts of machinery. In the center, was a gaping black hole, that was swirling
about in a
vortex.

"So this is how a new Dark Bring is made."

As strange as this sight was, Haru had no time to be distracted. There directly
underneath
the dark tornado was his father, Gale Glory valiantly squaring off against the
leader of
Demon Card, King. It was only a matter of time before the overdrive that would
once
again demolish ten percent of the world happened here inside Enclaim.

Haru dashed with full force and took a wild slash at King, but the evil tyrant
noticed him
at the last moment and deflected his attack. The pure brute strength of King's
swinging
parry sent Haru flying into the air and landing on his back. Dazed but
uninjured, Haru
struggled back to his feet, using his sword as a crutch.

With concern for his son, Gale blurted out. "Haru! Be careful, he's stronger
than I
thought."

Haru quickly recovered and went back into battle stance. King sported a wide
demonic
grin. "Wait a minute kid. Will you still want to fight me after you hear my
story?"

And so, King went on and on about how he and Gale were once best friends. The
death of
both their wives and all that stuff there. Haru got so bored that he fell asleep
with his
mouth hanging wide open and dripping with saliva halfway through King's story.
When
he finally awakened, King was already at the last part of his story and he and
Gale were
hugging each other in tears, rekindling their lost friendship.

"So you became an evil organization because my dad can't spell Demon Guard, you
became Demon Card instead and used your Dark Brings to kill a whole lot of
people,
cause havoc and all that?" Haru interrupted Gale and King's yaoi moment. They
both
jumped back and gripped their swords ready for battle again.

"That's not very accurate, but you got the point kid." King replied.

"Pluuuuuu!" A cutesy pie voice shouted from beneath Haru's shirt.

"Plue! I forgot you were hiding in there." Haru gently took out the small white
creature
and laid it on the floor.

"Hey what's that?" Gale asked, staring at the strange animal that looked like a
crawling
snowman.

"Oh this? It's a dog." Haru answered matter of factly.

"Hahaha! That's not a dog you fools, allow me to share with you my vast
knowledge as
the leader of Demon Card. That is........................................a seal
with an ice cream cone
for a nose!" King counseled them.

Gale, Haru and Plue exchanged glances of doubt at King's words. "Nah!" Haru and
Gale
said simultaneously.

A large sweatdrop began to form on King's mane-like golden hair. His cheeks
flushed red
with embarrasment. "What? You don't believe me?" A large vein was now sticking
out of
his head and seemed ready to pop at any moment. "Fine then! You two will just
have to
entertain me until the overdrive occurs." King suddenly lashed out at Haru and
Gale. His
sword had split into two separate pieces. The twin swords glowed with radiant
energy.
While Haru felt the fiery sting of the luminiscent red sword, narrowly missing
his head.
Gale felt the icy touch of the transparent blue sword on the hilt of his own
weapon.

Haru stared in amazement at the familiar pair of swords that King held in his
hands. "No
way.... That's one of my swords....Blue Crimson, a sword of fire and ice. The
only double
swords of Ten Commandments."

"Ga Hahahaha! This is my Dark Bring see?" King raised his sword in front of Haru
pointing at a large black sphere engraved on the sword's blade. "This is
Decalog, it allows
my sword to become.....a cheap copy of yours. It is powered by..." King paused
for a
moment and opened a secret panel on the left side of the blade. to reveal...
"Four AA
batteries! Fully rechargable of course... Hahahaha! Behold the wonders of modern
technology!" His maniacal laughter filled the entirety of the large room and
could be
heard even from the very bottom of Enclaim.

Suddenly, King's laughter was replaced by a cry of anguish followed by a blank
and
serene expression on his face. He fell down lifelessly as a hail of bullets
suddenly sprayed
his entire body from out of nowhere.

"BAKA!!!" Elie's voice could be heard screaming from the staircase that Haru had
climbed up in.

"Elie! Nice Shot!" Haru congratulated her, but he soon found the twin barrels of
Elie's
guns tonfa in front of his face.

"E-Elie... what are you doing?" Haru said in shock. Elie didn't answer, her hair
had partly
covered her eyes, hiding her expression from him. A faint reddish glow began to
emanate
from the girl of Ethelion. Then, without warning, she open-fired sending Haru
literally
flying for cover.

"Hahaha! That's a pretty lively girlfriend, you have there son." Gale called out
to Haru.
"You must have done something really bad to upset her. That's my son!" He said
mischievously.

"She's not my girlfriend dad." Haru called back while frantically dodging Elie's
wild
bursts of gunfire.

Suddenly, Elie's gaze was transfixed on Gale and her teeth were clenched in
fury. "You too
Papa-san!" and Gale was soon joining Haru running desperately for cover as
bullets
rained down on them. When she finally ran out of ammunition, Haru and Gale took
some
time to catch their breaths. A black shadow swiftly passed through both of them
and
settled down near Elie, who was still obviously extremely angry at something.
The
shadow turned out to be a young man wearing clothes that were identical to King.
Except
for the blonde hair, he looked exactly like Haru.

"Lucia, you idiot! What are you doing here? You're about five episodes too
early." Gale
reprimanded him.

"Sorry about that old man. I just couldn't wait to do this." In a matter of
seconds, Lucia
had Elie in a passionate french kiss.

"Hey artist, get Lucia out of here" The movie director commanded. Obeying his
orders,
the newbie artist swiftly switched his pencil to a backhand grip and used the
eraser on its
bottom to rub Lucia out of the scene.

"Hey! Hey... NO......I will be back.......................!" Lucia screamed out
as his body was
rubbed away into countless pieces of dust and powdered eraser his voice echoing
as do
all the voices of bad guys who are fading away into the darkness.

"Waaaaah!!!!!" Elie began crying uncontrollably as soon as Lucia left the scene.
"Haru!
I..I can't believe what he did! That was my first kiss...WAAAAAH!!!!"

Haru was totally dumbfounded by the events that just took place before him. It
was all
too much for one human being to take, even if he was the Rave Master. Finally,
he came
to his senses and rushed right over to try and console Elie.

"It's all right Elie, It's over now, but why did you try to shoot dad and me
anyway?"

"Sniff..sniff well..you see I was really angry when I heard you arguing about
Plue
because....PLUE IS A BUG!!!"

"It's finally over Haru! We've defeated King! We've destroyed..Demon Card!" Gale
said
triumphantly.

"That may be true dad but still Elie is...is.." Before Haru could finish his
sentence, he
heard a bloodcurdling growl from King's direction that made the hairs on the
back of his
neck stand on end. "Raaaaah! You have no time to celebrate fools! With my new
powers,
I shall kill you all and take the ultimate revenge on you..Gale Glory!"
Something had
risen where King's lifeless corpse was, but it wasn't human. Though its facial
features had
some similarity to King's. Veins stuck out everywhere on its body which had an
inhuman
complexion. At the center of its chest, a Dark Bring was melded into its body
like some
form of tumor. The creature turned to look at them with pure malice in its eyes.
Shafts of
light exploded from its hands and reduced most of the room to rubble.

"Oh no! King has summoned a demon from the dark world to fuse with his body."
Gale
explained.

Haru and Gale readied their swords. Not wanting to give the creature a chance to
attack
first, Haru jumped high into the air and came down with his explosive sword on
the
monster's body. "Explosion!" The attack did nothing but enrage King even more,
it
grabbed Haru by the neck and threw him to the ground with inhuman strength. Then
it
began pounding him viciously with its hammerlike fist. Gale finally stepped in
to
intervene by attacking with a well-aimed slash at King's neck, but the beast
caught his
blade with it's bare hands.

Seeing Haru bleeding badly and in no condition to fight, Gale made a decision.
"Miss...
Elie is your name right?"

"Papa-san?"

"Please take Haru down to safety."

"But, what about you?"

"I'll be fine, I have no intention of dying. I just don't want Haru to be
involved in my
technique. Now hurry! Go!"

"Promise you'll return Papa-san, Haru needs you." Then, Elie took Haru who was
limp
and barely breathing down the remains of the only stairs downwards. Plue, whose
presence had been totally forgotten followed them like an obedient little pet.

"Very Noble Gale Glory. So you're sacrificing your life to save your son." The
monster
taunted Gale.

"So you still retain some of your humanity King."

Left alone to face the monster that King had turned himself into, Gale Glory
suddenly
took on a different aura. His expression was the same, yet there was something
majestic
about him like the kings of old. He breathed in deep and his muscles tensed and
grew to
incredible proportions. Though his muscles weren't as big as King's, they were
now thrice
their normal size. A cloud of smoke shot up from the ground and concealed him
and
when it cleared, Gale was now wearing a large white coat and some cool-looking
shades.
His sword had changed into a Japanese sword. He flashed a smile with his pearl-
white
teeth.

"Now that we're alone King, I can reveal my secret to you. See these biceps?
You see... I
am actually... THE LONG-LOST BROTHER OF SEIJURO HIKO!"

"Fool! I read all the mangas and watched all the episodes including the OVA.
(even the
movie) I know all about your Hiten-Mitsurugi Ryu."

"We'll see, you're pretty talkative for a monster."

Gale sheathed his sword and assumed the position of Hirameki. King smirked at
the
foolishness of his adversary, yet even he was taken by surprise at Gale Glory's
next
move.

"Ultra ElectroMagnetic Slash!" Gale's sword was suddenly flashing and crackling
with
electricity as it came down on King. However, King was too fast and he easily
parried the
sword with his bare elbow.

"So you thought you could defeat me by using a technique from Voltes V?"

"Damn! If only my sword could pierce him."

"Dad once again, let's do it together!" Haru yelled out. He had partially
recovered from
the attack and had gone back up to help his father. Gale nodded and jumped back
out of
King's range.

Father and son attacked the monster wielding their sharp blades. Haru attacked
from
below while Gale charged from above. Their mirror image slashes left an x-shaped
field
of energy in its path and King fell down on his back. Haru and Gale also fell
down in
exhaustion.

"That was a great move dad."

"Someday you'll learn the ways of Hiten Mitsurugi.... Haru."

"Hehehehe......" A weak voice said in laughter.

"King! He's still alive!" Gale said in astonishment.

Once again King rose up and seemed more powerful than he had ever been before.
Haru
and Gale felt doomed to their fates, having used up most of their energy.

"Umm...Haru." Elie called suddenly.

"Don't worry, I'll protect you no matter what Elie."

"I forgot to tell you that I have the Rave of Combat right here." She said in
wide grin
while showing Haru the small crystalline sphere she held in her hand.

"That's great Elie. Here Plue." Haru said as he took the gem from Elie and
remembered
that the Rave of Combat was meant for his little stuffed snowman. Plue took the
Rave
and stuck it into his nose. The ground beneath him began to break up and hot
lava had
somehow emerged only at the point where he stood even though they were at the
highest
point of an artificial tower. Steam rose up everywhere and when it cleared. Plue
had
grown into a 30 foot tall robotic dog complete with a mechanized tail.
(batteries sold
separately.)

"Hehehe This is the secret of the Rave of Combat Elie. It transforms Plue into a
MEGAZORD!"

"No! He's a big bug."

"You know, I always thought he was a neopet." Gale said while scratching his
chin.

"Do you play neopets too dad?"

"Hush! Haru, men aren't supposed to play that game."

Sensing that no other technique was appropriate for this type of situation, Plue
raised his
foot and swiftly dug it into the ground crushing King and leaving him gasping
for life.

With his dying breath, King spoke to Gale and offered him one last gift of
friendship. "
Cough cough..... I had originally...planned to summon the ...Oracion
Seis...here...to finish
you off Glory. Now...I will destroy Demon Card with my own
hands..............ugh.."
Moments before his death, King had set off the 2nd overdrive inside the Demon
Card
Headquarters far from Enclaim, believing that he had finally destroyed all
remnants of
the evil organization.

Tears streamed down from Gale Glory's cheeks. "Thank you and goodbye my
friend...Gale Rareglove."

Somewhere in the distance, Reina heard the deafening explosion caused by the
Overdrive.

"My My, That explosion sounds like it came from the direction of Demon Card
Headquarters. Good thing that the boys are out fishing today and I decided to
take the day
off huh Sieg?"

"Of course my dear. Dinner or Movie?" Sieghart said in his usual expressionless
tone.

"Now you're speaking my language darling."

Back at the remains of Enclaim, Haru and company were celebrating the defeat of
Demon Card.

"It's finally over now we can search for your memory Elie."

"Yes..that would be nice."

"Hey now! Don't get all lovey dovey on me. It's time to celebrate." Gale
interrupted them.
He picked up a large, heavy-looking stone slab and raised it high above his
head. "Look
at these muscles Haru. That's the body of a real man."
He threw the piece of debris high into the air. "See? You should work out just
like me."

"Dad! look out!"

"Papa-san!" Elie shrieked but it was too late. The masonry came down and killed
Gale
Glory on the spot.

A few weeks later, Haru awoke from a dream about his dad. With renewed spirits,
he
once again set out to find the Raves, find Elie's memory and finally return home
to
Gallage Island.

"But you know Haru...Plue is still a bug."



The End
