FINAL FACE TO FACE
ORIHIME &TRUNKS VS. PROTO MAN, A. J. CROWLEY, URURU, DESCO, MINATO, KAKASHI, MICKEY MOUSE, BELLE & LINK

The group of primes gathered on the path near the temple, their final goal. Every guardian was slain, many friends lost their lives and many foes vanquished. Relics were gathered and battles were fought. The champions were tired, tired of all the fighting, the running, death. For a long time they remained silenced as a large group travelled together towards their final destination within the graveyard verse. Each one reflecting upon what happened.

Belle had a flashback about her first team-up with Mickey, how he explained to her how the survival guide worked. Oh how embarrassed she was, but what a friend he is. Link's mind wandered to the friends he lost, Erik, Yuki, both losing their lives in battle so he could live and be here this very moment, he felt indebted to them. He did not let their deaths be in vain , he was part of the retrieval of Teucer's armor, he succeeded, thanks to them. Ururu walked at the back, with Desco, an ally she wouldn't have expected to get. She recalled their fight with the Warlock, such power, such raw power, she was fascinated with him and his origin. Wondering if there was more to be discovered about both him and Teucer she was hoping to get more background information about it once she returned. Minato walked next to his former sensei Kakashi, how he had grown. This adventure showed him how much his old mentor had grown, still as wise, still as strong. Teucer's game was coming at an end, they would go home soon and the blonde shinobi was determined to get both of them home alive. At the head of the group the fearless fighter proto-man was walking next to his pall Mickey, flashes of their fight with the Cyberdemon came to him clear as day, a horrible sight. Seeing such brutal death from up close really does something with a man, senseless death. His partner placed a white glove on his shoulder, offering him a nod and a smile, that was all it took for Blue to know he will never be alone, he can always count on his friends.

"Don't worry Orihime, our cause is just, our strength wont betray us. We are doing the right thing, these people have no claim to what is ours. We should be the one to set the spirit free, we fought and suffered for it, there is no way we will let them get away with it." Trunks spoke full of courage as he witnessed the group approaching towards the temple, "Stay strong, together we can win." The woman stood strong, sword in one hand, a clenched fist in the other, releasing her inner strength once more she emitted a powerful aura, the determined woman stood by her friend, her ally. Trunks prepared in his own way, he took out his weapon and took aim towards the approaching group of primes, "That's far enough! Hand over your relics, they belong to us, we should be the ones to restore Teucer to his former self, not you, not after everything you've done!"

Proto-man stopped, the primes who were travelling with him gathered next to him. Every single one of them at the ready, seven primes standing beside each other, as a united front they stood strong. Orihime's conviction did not falter, her aura was as powerful as ever, it gave Trunks even more courage to know he had an ally this loyal standing by his side.

"Give it up, we are many, you are but a few. We are done fighting, give us your relic and we will get this over with. We don't want to fight anymore. Just give up." The proud voice of Proto-man spoke towards the Sayian.

The words only made it worse for Trunks, he simply couldn't give up. Within him he started to summon the power for a powerful attack, feeling the Omnilium build up within his body he got ready for his most powerful attack yet. Crowley however looked towards Trunks, wearing the relic he was bringing towards Teucer, making use of the powerful item it made the Sayian feel powerless. The power he was building up vanished. The surprised look on Trunk's face worried Orihime, something happened to her friend and she couldn't see what it was, " That's enough, just stop it, we want this to end just as much as you do." Trunks, who felt like he was under attack reached for his weapon and took aim once more. This time their foes reacted, both ninja's powered up in front of them, Minato showing his powerful sage form, Kakashi next to him released his inner gate and emitted a powerful green aura. Mickey handed one of the earrings towards his most trusted friend Blue, who shook his head, "We won't be needing that, look at them, it would kill them." The mouse nodded and put the earrings back into his pocket.

The purple haired Sayian started to lose patience, something had to happen, NOW! With that he opened fire upon the group which split apart. The two ninja dashed towards Trunks, the former Hokage quickly managed to get behind Trunks, and aimed his weapon. Trunks turned his head and noticed the prime before he got shot, flying through the air like a rag doll. Kakashi, who finished preparing his attack charged the airborne prime, dragging the lightning behind him he jumped up in the air, "Raikiri!" The shinobi shouted as he pushed his lightning hand right through Trunk's chest. The young boy coughed blood as the last thing he saw was the Konoha headband upon Kakashi's head.

Belle, Desco and Ururu charged Orihime who just witnessed another friend losing his life within the sick game of life and death. Desco who couldn't keep up at all started to throw her batarangs from a distance, trying to assist her allies. Tears flowing from Orihime's eyes she focused her grief upon the incoming primes, holding the mighty sword she swung it out of pure desperation, managing to cut Belle once before the young girl got pulled back by Ururu, "Watch out!" A beam of golden energy passed them both and hit Orihime head on, leaving her falling to her knees on the ground. Link walked up, picking up the woman's sword and got ready to end it. From deep within the forest, a Prime witnessed it all, hidden from everyone he simply observed the scene.

"Enough!" Proto-man shouted. "Enough blood has been shed on Teucer's behalf, we got what we came for, spare her life and let's get this over with." Link looked down upon the wounded woman and agreed, this was not his way.

The group all gathered in front of the Temple and glanced upon one another. "Go ahead Blue, go set that Spirit free and send us home." The happy mouse spoke. "It should be you" Belle quickly added. Link stepped up and held up the sword towards Proto-man, " You are a true hero, you had my back out there, now it's time to repay that debt, go with honor."

Blue was a bit surprised as his friends started to hand over the relics. Everyone who had gathered looked at Proto-man with great respect, if there was one person who earned it, it was him. Only Crowley was hesitant, "But I, I've earned this!" and slowly reached for his weapon. He looked around and noticed all the eyes directed at him, clearly this wasn't the best idea. "But, I guess you can set the bastard free." Crowley said, clearly unhappy about it, but he knew he wouldn't stand a chance against all of them.

Proto-man collected all the relics and looked at the group gathered around him, "My friends, thank you for your trust, I will not let you down, we are going home." With those last words he started to climb the steps of the temple, going to finish this once and for all.
