[Miyu]

       In the next dimension we found ourselves on what appeared to be an artificial star. I had seen many like this in my lifetime, but this one was different in one way. It was different cause it had a humongous castle sitting on the star. I was surprised that a building of any sort or people for that matter could be on a star, even an artificial star. The ones that were in the vehicles got out of them and we walked up to the large castle and entered it. I noticed we were now standing in a large area with no ceiling, like some sort of courtyard.
       “How come we are not ashes by now?” I asked.
       “This is Ultima, the plasma and flames on this star don’t harm people or things, I’m not sure exactly why,” Meia said.
       “The people that live here are called Ultimarians, which are centaur-like creatures with blueish flames growing out of their skin. The males have purple eyes and the females have pink eyes and breasts of course,” Alundra said.
       Then a creature matching the description that Alundra gave came walking up to us. This I figured was an Ultimarian, and a female at that with the pink eyes and breasts.
       “You’re here in the real world,” The female Ultimarian said to us.
       “Ayeka! You are okay, I’m so relieved,” Meia said, running up and hugging the female Ultimarian.
       “Yes, I am okay,” the female Ultimarian that Meia called Ayeka said.
       “Wow! Two girls hugging, this is great, I wonder if they’ll kiss,” Ranma said.
       “You pervert!” I screamed and punched Ranma hard in the face and he fell to the floor.
       “Ouch...you didn’t have to hit me so hard,” Ranma said.
       “Is Akira with you? Is he okay?” Ayeka asked, with a slight worried tone in her voice.
       Meia shook her head slowly, and Ayeka broke out in tears.
       “Ayeka,” I said. “My name is Miyu, I had a crush on Akira, so I know somewhat how you feel right now.”
       “Queen Ayeka!” I heard someone yell.
       I looked in the direction of the voice and saw two Ultimarians running toward us. One was male dressed in a suit of armor, like from the middle-ages of Earth, and the other was female wearing a lab coat.
       “We’ve been looking all over for you Queen Ayeka,” the male Ultimarian said, then he noticed Alundra and Meia, with a look or recognition and surprise in his eyes. “You are here too? When did you get here?”
       “Hi Algor, we got here just a little while ago,” Alundra said to the male Ultimarian.
       “Ok, so his name is Algor, but who’s this?” I asked, referring to the female Ultimarian wearing the lab coat.
       “This is Astrid, she is the one who changed Akira into an Ultimarian,” Ayeka said to the group.
       “Nice to meet you all,” the one that Ayeka called Astrid said.
       Then I noticed Algor was holding a small disc and a small statue shaped like a dog or wolf or somesort.
       “What are those?” I asked him.
       “Oh, these? This is the Red Disc and this is the statue containing the spirit of the Canine Family Guardian,” Algor said.
       “ Allow me to answer that question,” A voice coming from the sky above us said.
       I looked up just as a monster appeared in the sky above us and back-flipped in the air before landing on the ground in front of us.
       “Hello,” the monster said, bowing as it said it. “My name is Howler.”
       “You’re female!” I said in surprise, noticing the female voice coming from the monster, and it’s feminine physique and melon-like breasts.
       “Why of course, what did you expect?” the one that called itself Howler said, shoving her breasts in Ranma’s face while she talked.
       “I expected a male, I definitely didn’t expect such a slutty female,” I said.
       “Slutty?! How dare you!” Howler said.
       “Shaun created a female monster, that’s different, all the others so far were male, not including the zombies,” Seeker said.
       “So you know that Shaun created me? That’s very perceptive of you Seek,” Howler said.
       “Well Shaun always did like slutty girls,” Ranma said, pushing Howler’s breasts away from his face.
       “Hmph,” Howler said, crossing her arms across her chest, with a hint of anger towards Ranma for pushing her away.
       “That reminds me, where is Shaun anyway?” Jackie asked.
       “Why not ask her?” Meia asked, pointing to Howler.
       “She won’t tell us, because he is her creator,” Daniel said.
       “Why not?” Ranma asked.
       “It is useless to explain it to you,” Daniel said.
       “What does that mean?” Ranma asked.
       “It mean that you’re a -” Daniel started.
       “EXCUSE ME!” Howler yelled, interrupting Daniel to get our attention, cause we had been ignoring her up until then.
       “Oh, sorry, I forgot you were standing there,” I admitted.
       “Anyway, let me get back down to business. My creator has sent me here to destroy all of those that are related to Akira,” Howler said.
       “Well, that would be Ranma, Tobias, Vahn, Flint, Ryu, Miyu, Nene, Kari, and Matthew,” Seek said.
       “I’m related to Akira?!” I asked in surprise.
       “Yes you are,” Seek said.
       “Hmm...well I still like him, like a lover would,” I said.
       “Ewww...that is disgusting,” Kiri said.
       “How are we related to Akira anyway?” Tobias asked.
       “You are all siblings of him, like brothers and sisters to him, and he is your brother,” Seek said.
       “Shut up! Howler is right there,” Flint said abruptly.
       “Thanks for telling me Seek, now you DIE,” Howler said, then howled up at the sky.
       “That would explain her name,” I said.
       Then a large ship flew down and hovered several feet above our heads.
       “Hold on, I will teleport you aboard,” a voice in my head said.
       “Wayfarer?!” Ayeka said in surprise.
       Then suddenly we appeared on board the large ship and in what appeared to be the control room. After we were aboard the ship it took off into space, leaving Howler all alone on the surface of Ultima.
       “What or who is Wayfarer?” I asked Ayeka.
       “I am Wayfarer,” the same voice in my head from earlier said.
       “Wha...?” I said confused.
       “Wayfarer is the ship computer, and Akira named it,” Ayeka said.
       “Thanks for saving us Wayfarer,” I said in no certain direction, cause I had no idea what to talk to.
       “No problem,” Wayfarer said, in our head again. “By the way, the vehicles you were riding in before you entered the castle are in the docking bay.”
       “How did you know we were riding them? And...thanks for putting them on the ship,” I said.
       “I know cause I monitor everything that was going on around Ultima,” Wayfarer said.
       “Oh, that’s nice, I guess,” I said.
       “HAHAHAH,” a voice coming from what seemed like everywhere around us said.
       Suddenly the ship, Wayfarer, jerked to a stop and we nearly fell to the floor.
       “Engines are off-line,” Wayfarer informed us.
       “What is going on?” Jackie asked.
       “How should I know?” I asked him back.
       “You thought you could get away so easily? Not from me you can’t,” the same voice that had laughed just earlier said.
       “Does anybody else notice that it is becoming foggy in here?” Scott asked.
       That’s when I noticed a strange fog filling the room. I also noticed Wayfarer had landed back on the surface of Ultima. I thought for a brief moment just how much room this ship took on Ultima, since Wayfarer was close to the size of a moon.
       “Who are THEY?” Taichi asked, pointing to the display screen.
       I looked to the display screen and saw a group of different looking monsters facing this way. There were in front of Wayfarer and just stood there. Then a boy about 18 years old from his appearance pushed through the group of monsters and stood in front of them all.
       “Come on out,” the boy said.
       “Let’s go see what this person wants,” Seeker said. “We can’t seem to go anywhere else right now anyway.”
       We all followed Seek out of the Wayfarer, walked up to the group of monsters, and then stopped standing in front of them.
       “Welcome,” the boy said. “My name is Joseph. Where is Akira and Nathan?”
       “Well Akira is dead, and we have no idea who this Nathan is,” I said.
       “Akira had mentioned the name Nathan before, I remember that much,” Jackie said.
       “So you don’t know Nathan, I see,” Joseph said. “Yet I would like to know how Akira is dead exactly.”
       “TyRant killed him,” Ayeka said, stepping forward.
       “TyRant you say? That little rat,” Joseph said.
       “What is with him?” Nene whispered referring to Joseph.
       “Shaun deliberately disobeyed my orders and sent Nathan’s own creation to kill Akira,” Joseph continued.
       “You mean Shaun works for you?” I asked, and jumped back in surprise.
       “Well not anymore, he disobeyed me by wanting to do his own thing so I fired him so to speak,” Joseph said. “I should have known that he would try and have Akira killed.”
       “Uh...okay,” I said, a little uneasy.
       “Well I thank you for the information on Akira, there is no more need for you,” Joseph said turning his back to us and walked back through the group of monsters. He stopped beside two of them, one male monster and one female monster, and leaned his mouth to their ears. “Kill them.”
       I heard that all to clearly, and so did the others. The male monster of the two then thrusted his hands up into the air with palms up, and sucked up all the fog that was in the Wayfarer and around us. Then all the monsters except the two that Joseph ordered to kill us, disappeared with Joseph in a blackish light that surrounded them as they disappeared.
       “The name is Fog, which is obvious why I am named that,” the male monster said in an echoing voice. “And this here is my sister Myst. I turn into fog and Myst here turns into mist, hence our names. You should be honored that you will be dying by our hands.”
       “Honored? Yeah right, you wish,” I said.
       “Myst? There’s no way, it’s not possible,” I heard Misty whisper to herself.
       Then Fog disappeared and became fog as Myst disappeared and became mist. Myst reformed and stood in front of Misty. They stood staring at each other with an awkward silence or something of the sort.
       “You’re alive, but how?” Misty said finally.
       “Do I know you?” Myst asked, with a slightly agitated tone in her voice.
       “We are sisters, or at least were before you died in a car crash, don’t you remember?” Misty said.
       As Myst and Misty continued talking I noticed Seek pull out the Fire Amulet with no one else’s notice.
       “Shaun revived me from the dead, as he said, he is my master, but now Joseph is my master,” Myst said with little emotion or tone in her voice.
       “Look what he did to you when he revived you, he made you into a monster,” Misty said with a sad tone in her voice.
       “I have no memory of my past life, it is of no importance to me,” Myst said.
       “What is going on here?” Fog asked as he reformed beside Myst and with his back facing Seeker.
       From here I could see that Fog stood in between Myst and Seeker, with his back facing Seek.
       “This girl claims to be my sister,” Myst said, facing Fog.
       At that moment Seeker used the Fire Amulet and shot a fireball in Fog’s direction. Fog turned his head and saw it coming, then disappeared suddenly as the fireball hit Myst directly in the chest.
       “Ahh,” Myst screamed, disappearing into a cloud of mist.
       “You little runt,” Fog said, reappearing where he was standing last and facing Seeker. “If you thought you could kill me and my sister that easily you are severely mistaken, cause you can’t even kill TyRant yet, and we are both much stronger than he is.”
       “Myst is not your sister, she is mine, and you are definitely not my brother,” Misty said. “Shaun may have created you as Myst’s sister, but you aren’t, not really anyway.”
       “How dare you say my creator is a liar,” Fog said, looking to his left as Myst reappeared beside him, rubbing her chest because I’m assuming the fireball hurt. “Are you okay?”
       “Yeah, but my breasts and chest hurt,” Myst said, stating the slightly obvious.
       “Ha ha ha ha ha. You pathetic humans, you are only here to die. You are a mistake to even exist,” Fog said.
       “You are mistaken, I am not a human as you say, nor is some of the rest of us, but we do have one thing in common; we are all part of the Destined,” I said stepping forward.
       “We are Ultimarians,” Ayeka, Algor, and Astrid said.
       “So was Akira, you made him into an Ultimarian, and now he is dead,” Myst said.
       “I may look and act a lot like a human, but I am not, I am a Delveloid,” Seeker said.
       “No way, a Delveloid? They went extinct long ago,” Fog and Myst said with surprised expressions on their faces.
       “Well I’m standing here right now, aren’t I? So they aren’t totally extinct,” Seeker said proudly.
       Then Seeker pressed a couple buttons on the D.R.R. and pulled the trigger, pointing it at Fog. A beam shot out like the ones before and hit Fog squarely in the stomach. Fog feel to his knees with a gaping whole in his stomach.
       “What? It can’t be,” Fog said, while coughing up purplish blood. “How can I be defeated by the likes of you?”
       “You pathetic creation,” a very familiar voice said.
       “That sounds like Shaun,” Jackie said.
       Then Shaun suddenly appeared standing in front of Fog and facing him. He then turned to face us, and I flinched a little bit.
       “Correct, it is me,” Shaun said.
       “Shaun, I will kill you,” a voice from close by said.
       Just then a seven foot tall lizard-like creature jumped out of nowhere and landed a few feet away.  I scanned the creature from head to toe. The creature had silver scales all over except for it’s chest and stomach, which were gold. It also had a green blade growing out of the elbows of both arms, and a sharp-looking green blade on the tip of it’s tail. It’s head was shaped sort of like a Velociraptor with black markings under each eye with gold colored eyes. It’s hands were shaped like a human’s with green nails growing out of the tips of each finger and thumb. There were black circles around each wrist and black markings on the gold chest and stomach. One marking in particular on it’s chest was shaped like the infinity symbol, which I’ve seen all to often already.
       “Another monster, great,” I said slightly irritated.
       “That is no monster, that is a Lizian,” Astrid said.
       “It’s me, don’t you recognize me Miyu?” the Lizian asked while facing me.
       “I don’t know you, so I know I’m not your sister,” I said.
       “Oh, I see, sorry,” the Lizian said and began changing.
       The Lizian’s tail, elbow blades, long nose and mouth were all sucked inward. It’s feet turned into black sneakers. Jeans appeared around it’s legs and a shirt and appeared around the upper part of it’s torso. It grew dark brown hair on the top of it’s head as it’s head became humanoid. It’s green nails became clear as it’s the rest of it’s body became a tanned white human skin color. When it was finished it was a human that looked exactly like Akira as a human.
       “Does this help?” the Lizian that now looked like Akira asked.
       “Akira!! You’re alive!” I said, running up to Akira and clutching onto him tightly as tears of happiness ran down my cheeks. “But how?”
       “I would like to know the same thing,” Shaun said.
       “ I was resurrected from the dead to be honest, so I was dead for a while,” Akira said.
       “By who? Who resurrected you?” Shaun asked, but we all ignored his questions.
       “I was even cloned,” Akira said.
       “You have a clone?” Flint said, slightly dazed by all this.
       “Yes, his name is Vince,” Akira said.
       “Where is Vince now then?” I asked, curiously.
       “He’s standing behind you,” Akira said.
       I turned around and saw a person identical to Akira standing there, but he was wearing different clothing and his hair was a little bit shorter.
       “So you are alive, that is good to hear,” I heard Joseph’s voice say from somewhere but couldn’t see him.
       “Come on out Joseph, or are you some sort of wimp?” Akira asked.
       “Never call me that, just cause you may be more powerful than I am,” Joseph’s said as he appeared standing in front of all of us and facing Akira.
       “Come on, you want to fight me now?” Akira asked, getting into a fighting stance.
       “Not now, I was looking for Shaun at the moment,” Joseph said turning to face Shaun. “You disobeyed my orders in an attempt to overthrow me, and thus betrayed me. I cannot let your actions continue the way they are now.”
       “You are to weak Joseph, you can’t even kill your own rival, so I did it for you. In order to save the universe Akira must die,” Shaun said.
       “What? Save the universe by killing Akira? You’re insane,” I said.
       “No, you have it wrong, I am the only sane person here and when that virus finishes running it’s course through Akira he will be as sane as I am now,” Shaun said.
       “What are you talking about?” Akira asked.
       “No need to worry your pathetic little brain over the matter at the moment. TyRant, come here,” Shaun said.
       “Yes sir,” TyRant said as he appeared standing beside Shaun. “Do you want something?”
       “I want you to kill Akira,” Shaun said. “Then kill his friends.”
       “Understood,” TyRant said, turning to face us, while starring at Akira.
       “Oh, and kill Joseph too, there is no need for him, he is just getting in my way. Do not fail me either,” Shaun said.
       “Yes sir, I will not fail you,” TyRant said.
       “I shall assist you TyRant,” a voice I recognized as Howler said, shortly before she appeared beside TyRant.
       “Fog, Myst, stop them,” Joseph said.
       “Oh, sorry Joseph, they don’t listen to you anymore, they listen to me now,” Shaun said with a evil-looking grin on his face.
       “Well we must be going now, enjoy your last moments of life,” Shaun said laughing after he said that.
       Myst walked over to Fog and swung one of his arms over her shoulder and pulled him up. Then she walked over to where Shaun stood and all three of them disappeared leaving TyRant and Howler standing alone facing us.
       “Get back here Shaun, you chicken,” Jackie yelled.
       “It looks like I have no choice but to side with you guys now,” Joseph said.
       “Looks like it doesn’t it?” Akira asked rhetorically, turning his head to Seeker. “Get everyone out of here Seeker, me and Joseph will take care of these two.”
       “Okay, but be careful,” Seeker said.
       Seeker then pointed the D.R.R. in a direction that no one was standing away from Wayfarer and pulled the trigger. A beam shot out and created a dimensional portal like it’s done several times before. Seeker jumped into the portal ahead of us, followed by the others shortly after. I stayed behind for a brief moment to gaze at Akira whose back was facing me, wiping the tears from my face, and then jumped into the closing portal.
