The King Appears [Celestial]

[Cal and Liam]

Verpes and Betenight were both dead, fallen not an hour ago. Monsth was not happy, and ignoring Bladerun - who actually didn't protest his descending to Earth - he went, armed with his axe. He was going to avenge Verpes, and had ordered Bladerun to remain behind, for the time, at least.

Bladerun, however, was working on something. Sending a message out from the ship. This might work, it might not. The matter still stood; they were lacking manpower. They needed help, the help of another of the leaders of the Universal Annihilation Army.

Monsth was but one head. The head of this division, and the usual vanguard leader. The one to actually conquer. But no; he was not the only one. Nor the "true leader".

"Lord Blob," Bladerun said, "Your presence is required at Earth. Please, bring your aides with you, and your soldiers. We'll need them."

Monsth dropped to Earth, a swarm of Stingers with him. They numbered around seventy, the last of the species that they had brought with them. He swung his axe, sending massive slashes of energy out, cutting down buildings, causing general destruction and chaos.

He marched inwards, towards the heart of the city. He would start here, and find Yana. If he could eliminate the Celestial powers - the powers he and his fellows desired - then conquest would be simple from then on out.

[Aaron Rodgers]

Aaron was sitting in the library, reading through several books so he could study for his next test. "Man... he has some nerve to spring that test on us... Just now telling us it's tomorrow..."

[Cal and Liam]

"Be happy you get time to study," Cal told him, flipping through a book, "It could have easily worked out that we'd still be fighting."

[Aaron Rodgers]

"Well, I gotta find the time now since we're going to keep fighting like this..."

[Cal and Liam]

"Hopefully we'll have time before they attack again. I'm hoping they'll take time with that elite's death," Cal said.

[Aaron Rodgers]

"Hopefully..." Aaron said, flipping the page.

[Cal and Liam]

Their Morphers would beep as a message came through. Cal got up and headed somewhere he could talk.

"Liam?" he asked.

"Another one showed up! I think he's like that last guy! I can't do this alone!"

"Aaron and I will be there soon," he said, hurrying back into the library.

[Aaron Rodgers]

Aaron saw Cal walk in and sighed. "Another one?"

[Cal and Liam]

"Sounds like another elite one," he said, "Liam's having trouble."

But that was to be expected. He and Cal had taken some bad hits during the fight an hour ago with Verpes and Betenight. Liam alone was in no condition to fight.

[Aaron Rodgers]

"I'll let Sayo kn... CRAP!" Aaron said as he got out the library. "She has a test this period!"

[Cal and Liam]

"I'm going regardless," Cal said, "You're her partner, see if you can get her. Just do what you have to do. And if all else fails, remind her that this is people's lives," he said.

[Aaron Rodgers]

"It's one she can't really get out of, though," Aaron said. "Unless she finishes it quickly enough, which I think she will," Aaron said, getting out his morpher to send an alert to Sayo.

Ryosuke and Eri were heading toward the site where Liam was fighting, already transformed. "Let's hurry!!" he exclaimed as he ran.

[Eri Dalton]

Eri nodded, following him quickly. She hadn't even had time to finish eating part of her cake, which put her in a bad mood at the monster.

[Cal and Liam]

Cal nodded, just hurrying out. He could ignore his classes. This was far more important.

In battle, Liam was having a hard time keeping his shield up as Monsth mercilessly hammered him with his axe. The next hit sent his shield flying and the next slash came down from above, sending an energy blade crashing in with the physical, sending Liam sprawling, de-Morphed.

[Ryosuke Muto]

Ryosuke jumped into the air as soon as he arrived and swung down his sword at Monsth.

Meanwhile, Sayo had received the alert, and continued on her test, moving through it as fast as she could. She was halfway there...
