Golden Gash!!: Demon Revolution Army (remake)

Golden Gash!!: Demon Revolution Army, also known as "Konjiki no Gash!!: Mamono no Kakumei-gun (金色のガッシュ! !：魔物の革命軍)" and "Zatch Bell!: Mamodo Revolution Army" is a Zatch Bell! / Konjiki no Gash (Bell)!! fan fiction that I created. This fan fiction takes place directly after the manga, more specifically after the one-shot Konjiki no Gash!! Gaiden manga. It takes place a whole year after the Demon Battle of the third millennium (200X A.D.) has started. 27 years later, an evil organization called the Demon Revolution Army is formed. This Revolution Army plans on overthrowing the kind King Zatch (Gash) Bell and put Demon World into chaos. Heroes, including Raiden Bell and Rain Bell, who are the (theoretical) sons of King Zatch (Gash) Bell and Queen Patie (Penny) Bell, as well as Zeon Bell (now a good demon) and his Demon World Military have successfully defeated the Demon Revolution Army but with some costs of good lives. However, Dr. Zulu, the lone survivor of the Demon Revolution Army and former seventh Death General, attempted to conquer the Human World of the present time and Demon World of the past time. However, the heroes managed to stop Dr. Zulu twice, bringing peace back to the past and present. Some time after returning back to the present...

This is a remade version of the original Golden Gash!!: Demon Revolution Army fan fiction. The remake's storyline is similar to the original but written differently with some major changes to the story but still flows along with the original storyline. In this fan fiction remake, I will be using Japanese names and Japanese terms instead of their English counterparts.

Chapter 21: New Dembot Guardians

NOTE: This chapter is a remade version of Chapter 15-11 "Some Hope Still Remains" of the original Golden Gash!!: Demon Revolution Army fan fiction series with some scenes from Chapter 15-10 "Ragnarök".

Scene: Neo Zecross' Fortress (late evening; during the time Neo Zecross was finishing off the deities)

While Dr. Zulu's Zulu Construction Bots were still building the half-incomplete, giant black fortress in the wastelands, Dr. Zulu was preparing his defenses as well as studying things in the fortress basement's laboratory. While Dr. Zulu was using his computer, which was displaying the Spirit God Crown and its data, Dr. Zulu said, "Zehehe! Wonderful! The amount of divine power that the Spirit God Crown possesses is infinite. If I can study its properties and infuse its divine energy with my technomagic, I could make godlike magitechs. Just think about it: Divine Dembots, Dembot Gods, Godbots, Spirit Doids... Zwahaha! Not sure what I would call them but if I can somehow improve technomancy with the crown's divine energy, my empire can dominate all worlds, though I think I may need to learn Spirit World magic first. Oops! I'm doing it again; that old habit!" He really likes talking to himself, which is a habit he has since he's mostly alone. At the moment, while Dr. Zulu seems maniacal on the outside, he is scared on the inside; scared that he might get caught by his boss Neo Zecross, though Supreme God Neo Zecross is away during this time. Dr. Zulu thought to himself in inner fear, crud, I hope he doesn't know I'm doing this or he'll send me to the bottom of the Netherworld. I really got to stop talking to myself even though he seemed to already know my plan. Anyway, I was tasked to protect the Spirit God Crown at all cost and let no one touch it. Not even I'm allowed to touch it but it doesn't mean I can't experiment it... He then said following up his thoughts, "... Still, I'll do whatever I can to keep the Spirit God Crown safe." Right now, the Spirit God Crown is on the surface in the middle of the fortress, guarded by a clear white force field from a machine.

Dr. Zulu then got a notification on his computer and said to himself, "Ahh, my new Dembot Guardians are complete. Master Zecross also told me to protect his fortress just in case if there's intruders. I'll separate and hide them in the places he asked me; they'll provide a force field for the fortress." He then thought to himself, I wish it was possible for me to create impenetrable force fields while they are still inside here to keep the fortress forever invincible but the force field would be unstable if they are still here. Stupid restrictions and limitations to magitechs; magic science is pretty complicated. Ehh, I don't even have time to build a Dembot Master or finish a Dembot Master design for these guardians' unification, but these guardians alone are good enough, I suppose. Ehh... I wonder what Master Zega is up to? Oh well, he's not going back to the fortress once I set up my defenses; he's on his own too. He then pressed some buttons on his computer keyboard and said in his computer microphone, "Alright, activate Units ZDB-G05, ZDB-G06, ZDB-G07, ZDB-G08. It's time to begin!" As he looked to the right, machines were making noises in a dark area and dozens of eyes glowed in the shadow of the room. Who are these new Dembot Guardians?

Scene: The forest near Siren Beach (late evening)

After Demon Prince Raiden Bell receive a holy power-up from the above given by his ghostly father, Prince Raiden slayed the Great Demon Lord of Envy and Wrath, Leviasatan, with a massive thunderbolt from the heavens. Following up the battle, Venus felt other godly presence disappearing on Demon World, one-by-one, and she is very worried about her beloved Mars, who just received an unexpected quick death from God of Destruction Belphebub, yet she doesn't know what happened to them. The group, including Prince Raiden Bell, King Rain Bell, Tioga, Haria, Nekolas, Nekolas's dead father Leo—whom the three teen boys were carrying—Raiden's and Rain's deceased-but-ghost-like parents Gash and Patie Bell, and the Love Goddess Venus of Kindness and Patience, ran back through the forest they came from. The children stopped running as they felt something was missing, "Huh?" They reacted in confusion. Raiden, Haria, and Nekolas noticed it while the others were confused. The forest is empty. What happened to the demon criminals and devils that Red Lion Leo knocked out? Haria wondered said, "W-we're are those creepy bad guys?" Nekolas, who was carrying his father by the shoulders, wondered, "Pops must have taken out those creeps. Guess they ran away or something." Have they awaken and left or have they... vanished? Prince Raiden said, "Doesn't matter. We'll take out anyone that comes in our WAY?!" Suddenly, they heard something moving in the trees. King Rain felt the person's presence with King Rain reacting to it, "W-what's that? Wait, is that...?" He recognizes that person's demon energy as he revealed himself, saying, "Marvelous, you really are something, son of the Demon King... or ex-Demon King." Nekolas wondered, "Who's that?" Even Haria doesn't know who this mysterious person is. Raiden responded, "That voice? Zega?!" Zega said, "I'm impressed that you took out the archdevil Leviasatan. That's some power your father has given you." Raiden wondered, "How did you—" He then forget about that and said, "Never mind. What are you up to Zega? What's going on here?" Zega responded, "I'm guessing you didn't my message, did you?" Zega doesn't know if he managed to get their attention from his hologram in the palace. Raiden said, "Yeah, we got your message." Nekolas wondered, "Do you think we can trust him? Wasn't he an enemy at war?"

Gash Bell, who was lagging behind along with his wife Patie, said to the kids, "He was our enemy. He's our ally now. Heh, finally caught up. These ghost forms are quite slow in Demon World." Raiden said and wondered, "Took you so long mom and dad. And what do you mean?" Gash said, "We met him here on our way to Siren Beach." Zega said, "I talked to him when he passed through here. Well..." Zega reveals the holo-telepathic device that Dr. Zulu made, appearing from his Netherworld robe, and said, "... It's more liked I talked to him telepathically with this." He then used it to tell everyone in the area with his mind, it's something Dr. Zulu invented and yes, even he came back alive... Some of the kids were confused in the voice they are hearing in their head with Haria said, "Why's there a voice in my head?" Zega continued speaking to them telepathically, ... I cannot let my brother know that I'm betraying him, though he probably already knows that, which makes this pointless but nonetheless, I need your help to stop him... Raiden said, "Alright. If you say so." Nekolas wondered, "Can we really trust this guy?" Raiden already got to know Zega and said, "Hey, I fought Zega twice already; one time here and his past self. He's actually not as bad as you would think. When we fought, our feelings were able to communicate each other with our fists. Alright, I trust you." Raiden punched his hand. Raiden, having a love for duels and battles, can learn about people as he fights them. He knows that Zega was acting evil, but he knows Zega's honesty and competitive actions. Zega chuckled and said, "Suhuhu. You are indeed an interesting child. But don't get your hopes up; this is only a temporarily alliance. I'm still a criminal so don't think I won't backstab you. I could kill you at anytime I want." Raiden closed his eyes for a second, then opened them with a smile and said, "You wouldn't do that. That's something you wouldn't do, I can tell that from our fights. But even if you do, I wouldn't hesitate to beat you down again!" Raiden smacked his right fist again with his other hand with aggressiveness. Zega chuckled again, "Heh, you really figured me out." Raiden wondered, "But what is your plan?" In seriousness, Zega used the holopathy to speak to them telepathically, to make sure his brother doesn't hear him, we must hurry. I only have little time left until I lose connection to the Twilight World. After banishing those scumbags from this forest, my brother must be onto me.

That explains why the forest was suddenly silent; while the sun was still setting down, Zega used his Āgasu Amishirai to trap the wild demons and devils inside a barrier of light and darkness and forcefully teleporting them to the Twilight World, the colorless, mirrored counterpart of Demon World. That's one way how to stop the Netherworld Army but time is running out. Soon, his Āgasu Amishirai will become a normal barrier spell after the demon sun is completely down in the area and the spell won't become a gateway until sunrise, and Demon World would be doomed before then, unless if Zega gets into an area that's still within the sunset or sunrise.

[Insert random battle music]
After Zega made his last thoughts to the group, another telepathic voice entered the area, Hehehehehe! I knew you would betray me, elder brother... Suddenly, Leviasatan's spiritual particles that were still loading above the Leviathan Ocean on Siren Beach traveled over the forest, being absorbed by the wicked god from afar. Zega made a serious-but-worried expression. Haria and Nekolas wondered, "Who's that?" The voice did sort of sound familiar to the children, sort of, but it's even darker than ever. The devilish voice then said telepathically, you think that thing Zulu made would hide your thoughts from me? You must be stupider than you think. King Rain was frightened and said, "That voice. It's... familiar but scary..." Neo Zecross continued speaking to his mortal elder brother telepathically, which everyone in the group heard, I have no further use for you. Darkness Curse: Nightmarish Death Gods! Neo Zecross summoned an army of black reapers towards the group. Some were also appearing beneath the ground. Nekolas reacted in surprise, "Crud, what the heck are those?" Prince Raiden got an idea on what Neo Zecross' attack is like since it's similar to Zecross' Shidona Reaper, "Is he doing what I think he's...?" Zega shouted, "Do not let those creatures touch you, no matter what! Birakeru! Shidokeru!" Zega shot magical blasts of light energy and darkness energy from his hands to destroy the nightmarish reapers. Despite being curses, they are just as a fragile as shadow reapers and can easily be taken out, as a downside for having an instant kill effect. Raiden said, "Figured as much. Ganzu Zakeru!" and threw balls of electricity at them from his hands. Nekolas incanted, "Rioru Emurushiruga!" firing beams of flames from his two fire shield gauntlets. While the three were taking the front row, Haria took action to protect the group around them by launching ice shards, "There coming around here. Gikoru!"

Venus was scared on what's going on as she flinched and didn't make an action to protect the whole group. She's very upset that it's affecting her mentally. Patie said to Gash, "We must protect them." Gash replied, "Yeah." They both cast spells at the same time with Gash reciting, "Ganreizu Zakeru," and with Patie reciting, "Oruda Akuron" Gash summoned eight thunder drums, which shot out multiple electric balls and Patie summoned many water jets from the ground to attack them. Even in their ghost forms, they can still cast spells while they are in Demon World and if Gash or Patie were to get hit while in their ghost forms, they'll just be teleported back to the Spirit World, more specifically to the Netherworld due to Neo Zecross' Judgment spacial æther. King Rain and Tioga weren't doing anything at the moment since they were well protected but they looked around to see where the reapers were coming from. Suddenly, without anyone realizing, a nightmarish reaper appeared beneath and behind Venus. Venus felt too scared to be able to sense it and without knowing, she got slashed by its scythe of corrupted darkness with her reacting in pain for a second, "Eeeaaaay!!!" before turning into spiritual particles. Gash and Patie yelled in worrisome, "Venus-sama!" Through telepathy, Neo Zecross incanted, Soul Curse: Soul Absorption, absorbing Venus' spirit, making him even stronger. He then said telepathically, hehehehe! Hahahaha! This power! The powers of eight Spirit World deities are under my control! Unlimited power! Mwahahahahaha! Since I'm in a good mood, I'll spare you all for the moment. Don't worry elder brother, your punishment will be soon enough. In satisfaction of absorbing the souls of four archdevils and four archangels, the Supreme God decided to spare his traitorous brother and the crew for now and fled.

Gash, in shocked, wondered, "Was it his plan to get the Spirit World gods?" Patie felt sad and said, "Oh no. Poor Venus-sama..." Zega said to them, "You can mourn later. We don't have much time. I only have a few more minutes until I lose access to the Twilight World. Follow me if you want to save this wretched world." Nekolas wondered, "I don't know. You really trust this guy?" Raiden said, "I do," but Nekolas argued, "But you don't even trust our new knight recruits." Raiden argued, "Zeil killed my mom and dad and that Zophise guy ruined mother's life, from what I heard. Amnesia or not, I can't ever forgive them." The group doesn't even know that Zeil and Zophise are dead by now. Patie felt a little depressed of her son mentioning Zophise's past actions and Gash said, "Now, now Raiden, there is no need to hold a grudge against them for us." Raiden asked, "But dad—?" Zega was growing impatient and said, "Don't make me wait any longer or I'll change my mind and let my brother wreck this world."

Scene: In the middle of a ruined town in Spirit World Kingdom of the Spirit World

[Insert random battle music]
Back at Spirit World, the King of Paradise Jupiter and the Prison Warden Neptune were trying to stop their wrathful brother Hades (real name "Pluto"). Hades and Cerberus were going berserk in Spirit World Kingdom, destroying cities in confusion, looking for the four missing Great Demon Lords and all of the Netherworld inhabitants. Neptune was just about to finish Cerberus off, teleporting on behind with water via Water Blessing: Water Phase and recited, "Water Blessing: Holy Water Spear _{水恵：聖水槍, Suimegumi: Seisuiyari]}!" shooting three concentrated beams of water from the three prongs of his blue water trident. Before Neptune used his Water Blessing: Water Phase, Cerberus incanted, "Dark Fire Curse: Hellfire Breath!" breathing infernal flames from his three heads. Cerberus' guard was dropped and his three heads got pierced by the three water jet spears. Cerberus died once again and his spiritual particles teleported back into the Netherworld.

The Thunder God Jupiter was in the middle of fighting his eldest brother, the Underworld God Hades. While they were on standby, King Jupiter stopped sensing the aura of the gods on Demon World, one-by-one, and he's sensing another god giving off a powerful dark aura, "W-what's going in Demon World?" King Hades just now realized this and yelled in anger, "What?! They're in Demon World? All of my devils?"! Neptune incanted, "Water Blessing: Water Phase!" and teleported next to King Jupiter and said, "Go to Demon World. I'll hold off our elder brother." King Jupiter wondered, then agreed, "Neptune? Hmm!" Ex-king Hades yelled in anger, "Those good for nothing... Grrrrrr!!!" King Jupiter, with his Lightning Blessing: Lightning Staff active in hand, incanted, "Lightning Blessing: Call of Lightning," and slammed his lightning staff on the ground, summoning a bolt of lightning from above to teleport him outside the Spirit World. King Hades yelled, "Jupiter, you get back here!" The Ocean God Neptune said with a serious tone, "Go back to your Netherworld until the war below is over. Water Æther: Sea God's Rage _{[激怒水恵：海神の激怒, Suimegumi: Wadatsumi no Gekido]}!" Being a resident of Spirit World Kingdom for at least a million years, Neptune would certainly learn æther. Neptune's eyes glowed bright blue and a powerful aquatic aura emitted around Neptune with a surf of water splashing around him. Hades guarded against the single tidal wave passing through him. Water Æther, unlike Water Blessing, does not utilize holy water but the water is still spiritual and divine. The one-on-one wrathful fight between the two older brothers is about to begin.

Scene: Main Battlefield on Demon World (almost nighttime)

Things were not looking great in the main battleground near Neo Zecross' fortress. With Neo Zecross infinitely resurrecting his Netherworld Army, not even the angels of Paradise could stop them. Some of the angels managed to seal and restrain some of the Netherworld natives with their sealing blessings but when most of the angels that could do that were killed and sent to the Netherworld. The rest were feeling hopeless. The only thing Demon World Military Commander Zeon Bell could do was watch his subordinates and allies being slaughtered as he was nearly out of energy and greatly injured, gasping for air, heh, heh. Darn it! Even with backup, we are losing. Is there anyone else that could seal them away? His wife Koruru Bell was out of energy too; she couldn't keep all of their allies alive with Shin Raifojio anymore, apologizing in tears, "I'm sorry, everyone," while gasping for air. She tried her spell again, "Shin Raifojio... Oh..." but she just didn't have the heart energy to conjure it to everyone. They then heard a voice far to their right, "Zeon-sama, Your Highness! Zeon-sama!" Ninja Captain Kyanchome and his family returned to the main battlefield from Mamonokin Village. Prince Zeon turned his head right, "Captain Kyanchome?" Princess Koruru followed it up, "Pancho-kun? Tio?" Tio said, "Thank god you are alright, Koruru-sama. Hold on, Shin Saifojio!" Head Nurse Tio summoned four giant healing swords to restore Prince Zeon's and Princess Koruru's health and energy, as well as all of their allies. All of the military units including the angels wondered what happened but when they noticed, they thanked the person for bringing them up back to full fighting spirit. Koruru thanked her, "Thank you so much, Tio," then she continued supporting her allies, "Shin Raifojio!" The living military soldiers and angel reinforcements will be able to hold out much longer, but it still won't be enough even though it's a big improvement. The healers are also back at full energy, supporting their fighters. A devil soldier said in the distance, "Heal all you want. You all are just delaying the inevitable. Kyah-kyah!"

While the war continues, returning to a stalemate, for the time being, Ninja Captain Kyanchome gave a full report of the Battle at Mamonokin Village, including the defeat of Asmon and Mercury and their information and Zecross' frightening appearance as a God of Evil. Commander Zeon's final reaction was, "I see. Well, we must be aware of Zecross." While Koruru was supporting Demon World Military units and General Mars' angelic soldiers, she said, "I'm so glad you are all okay."

The three Royal Knights, along with Head Doctor Danny of the Medic Division, also returned to report to Zeon with Captain Black Knight yelling, "Commander, Your Highness!" Commander Zeon reacted to them, "Black Knight-kyō, Earth-kyō..." Head Nurse Tio wondered, "Danny-san." Danny responded back as he ran towards them, "Oh, Tio. Glad you're alive." Commander Zeon also noticed one of his missing Royal Knight, "... and is that... Vincelot-kyō?" As the knights regrouped with their Commander, Commander Zeon said, "Where were you Vincelot-kyō? What happened? Weren't Barburos-kyō and Rosella-kyō with you?" Sir Vincelot responded back, "Commander-dono, about that..." Captain Black Knight said, "We found Vincelot-kyō fighting that giant monster on his own..." Sir Vincelot then reported the things that happened during his mission, then Captain Black Knight and Earth gave their report about the defeat of Belphebub and General Mars, as well as the mysterious destructive power that Belphebub was hiding. He also informed about the death of his owl companion, grieving in it with honor. Commander Zeon said, "That is some frightening power; the power to destroy an entire world. The first leader of the Demon Revolution Army had that kind of power too, though they wanted Demon World in pandemonium so it would make sense for Zecross to stop that monster." Princess Koruru said, "I'm so sorry for your lost, Black Knight-dono. And those poor knights." Black Knight responded to the princess, "They didn't die in vain. We'll avenge all of our fallen comrades." Commander Zeon said, "And it's a good thing we sent you Royal Knights to check Demon World for other potential threats. That cult you mentioned, the Acolytes of the Nether, they would have been troublesome. Dealing with one necromancer was difficult enough, but having to deal with five necromancers along with followers. That would have been disastrous. So thinking about what happened during our battle with Zecross, it was your enemy that stopped him. Dark Lord Gul'ren, that's what he's called?" Sir Vincelot responded, "Yes, and that's what I assume he did." Commander Zeon thought about it in depth and said, "Well it's a good thing that happened, whatever he did. Otherwise, we would have lost the battle against Zecross. I'm guessing there was competition to take authority over Demon World. Have you seen any other Royal Knights? I haven't heard a word from the rest of them." Sir Vincelot said, "No, Your Highness." Black Knight responded, "My owl companion mentioned that they were dead." Commander Zeon said, "If we survive this war, we'll need to track them down if there are any survivors. If there are any remaining threats after this war, we need to stop them. For now, I'll like you all to—"

Before Commander Zeon was going to send his high-ranking officers to battle, Pancho detected some people he's familiar with nearby, yelling, "Commander!" to get his attention. Suddenly, the demon children appeared before them with Zega flying over the battlefield. Though, it doesn't seem like Gash and Patie are there. Raiden Bell yelled in the distance, "Yoooooo!!! Pancho, uncle, auntie!" Princess Koruru, focused on supporting the military, turned her head and said, "Raiden-chan?" Commander Zeon looked up and said, "Is that... Zega?!" He then looked straight and said, "What are...?" Pancho reacted in surprise, "Raiden. Wait, Tioga-chan?! What are you doing here?" Tioga shouted in happiness, "Papa, mama, big brother! Tehe!" Head Nurse Tio and Ninja Captain Kyanchome were surprised, "Tioga-chan?"

Meanwhile, as Zega was soaring through the air above the battlefield, he was eventually spotted by some military units on both sides of the battlefield with a knight reacting, "Who is that?" An angel soldier recognized Zega only as a Netherworld Army unit due to him wearing the black Netherworld robe, shouting, "There's one from above, get him!" Yeah, some military units are mistaking Zega as an enemy of war due to his appearance but Zega ignored them and teleported away from their attacks while focusing on the Netherworld Army, yelling at those angels, "Stay out of my way." An angelic soldier was about to attack him again until Zega made his move, "Āgasu Amishirai!" creating a large barrier of twilight. The angels, knights, and ninjas moved away from it. With the sun still setting, the barrier was still a gateway to Zega's Twilight World. Zega then forcefully shrunk his barrier to transport the selected group of Netherworld Army to the Twilight World. He repeats this process as fast as he can before the demon sun completely sets down in the area. A Knight Infantry wondered, "What's going on?" A Ninja Infantry said, "What happened to those guys?" The Angel Captain Lucius said, "Everyone, cease fire." One of his angel soldiers wondered, "Captain Lucius?" Captain Lucius wonders who this mysterious Netherworld resident is but he's having trouble identifying him as an ally or enemy. Back at the main group, Commander Zeon looked out there and said, "What's going on?" After Raiden and the crew got back, Raiden said, "Zega is our ally now." Commander Zeon reacted in surprise, "What?"

Suddenly, Pancho felt some familiar presence that he didn't detect before, "Wait, who's there?" Gash and Patie came up from the ground in their ghost form and Gash said, "He's no longer our enemy, even though he tried committing treason. Oh, howdy, everyone." Commander Zeon, Princess Koruru, and the higher up military units turned their attention to the ethereal Gash Bell and Patie Bell, completely shocked. Gash said, "It's been a while everyone?" Nurse Tio said, "Gash? I-is that really you?" Koruru said in surprise, "Gash-sama? Patie-sama? You're alive?!" Commander Zeon said, "But how?" Gash explained, "Actually, we're still dead. Hehe." Patie said, "But we were given a chance to come back to Demon World to help you. I'm not sure if we're allowed to say where we came from, though." Gash said, "By now, it doesn't matter. We came from the realm of Paradise from the Spirit World, the afterlife world." Commander Zeon said, "We heard about the Spirit World from a hologram by Zega. What's he up to anyway?" Raiden said, "Well what does it look like, Uncle? He's helping us seal away those bad guys." Captain Kyanchome wondered, "Then that confirms that Byonko really visited me." Commander Zeon was confused since that wasn't reported, "Wait, what?" Gash wondered, "Wait, Byonko came here too?" Patie said happily, "We didn't see him leave, though he is quite the ninja. Hehe. He must have sneaked out." Pancho said, "I knew I saw and felt Byonko-sensei coming out of dad's body." Patie said, "I sincerely hope he's not in trouble coming here on his own without permission. Gash's parents were sent to a lower level in the Spirit World for helping us escape that other day." Gash said, "Maybe we don't need to say that much. I'm glad you all are okay."

Princess Koruru said, "And I'm glad you and Patie are back together." Gash said, "Thanks, Koruru. And I must apologize to you on that day. I was going to make you my queen after Patie passed away." Princess Koruru said, "It's alright. Patie-sama, I'm sorry for taking your husband that time." Patie didn't mind and said, "It's alright, I'm not upset. I must thank you for keeping Gash happy. If there is anyone I can trust, I can trust you, Koruru. You would have been a great queen." Princess Koruru dropped a tear and said, "Thank you so much." Also, with Zega dealing with the Netherworld Army, Koruru don't really need to assist the demon and angel military units at the moment. Captain Black Knight and Vice Captain Earth apologized to Gash, bowing to him, "Our apologized, Your Majesty." Vice Captain Earth said, "We, as your Royal Knights, failed to protect you and your queen." Gash said, "It's fine. You did what you had to do to protect Demon World. Besides, my youngest son is the new Demon King. Please protect him with your life." All three Royal Knights said, "We will, Your Majesty!" Gash sighed and said, "Ehh, I'm not the king anymore. No need for honorifics." Commander Zeon asked, "So what made you two to come here in the first place?" Gash said, "I learned a power in Spirit World that I wanted to give to Raiden. It was a good thing our boy was still alive but I was able to strengthen Rai'oheven further, enhancing his power with white Spirit World magic called 'blessing', to take out those archdevils, the Gods of Evil. He's really becoming a dependable guy." Raiden smiled and said, "Yup! Demon World's number one hero and delinquent!" Patie had to laugh at that.

Nekolas said, while holding his father's corpse behind him, "I wish I could be a hero and have super cool powers." Vice Captain Earth just noticed Nekolas and Nekolas' dead father Leo and said, "Nekolas-kun. Is that...?" Nekolas said, "Pops died protecting me." Haria said, "It was really sad." Vice Captain Earth wondered, "And you must be?" Haria said, "Oh umm... I'm Haria. I'm Tio-san's newest nurse apprentice." She then randomly cried out, "Oh, Tio-san, Danny-san, I'm sorry I was a disappointment. I tried to heal Leo-san and Raiden-kun the best I could, but..." Nurse Tio said, "What happened to him?" Raiden said, "We were poison by a similar poison that almost killed my mom in the past." Patie wondered, "What?" Head Doctor Danny said, "You mean that Angry Devil's Toxin?" Raiden said, "Well that dragon god called it Angry Devil's Venom." Dr. Danny was shocked, "Venom? The original?" Patie wondered, "Wait, what happened to me?" While Gash and Patie could observe Demon World and Human World in Paradise's observatory from the present to the past, they couldn't see what happened in the other timeline, Timeline B/Universe 001. Raiden said, "As we traveled back into the past to bring your's and dad's younger self back to safety, we found out that Dr. Zulu of our time, that one crazy mad scientist, was in the past timeline. He somehow found a way into that timeline and went war on us. You protected dad from a poisonous gooey robot he made, umm..." Pancho corrected him, "The Death Devil." Raiden didn't remember the name, "Yeah, that..." Patie asked in worrisome, "Is my younger self alright?" Dr. Danny responded to that, "I saved her life and everyone else that were in the infirmary." Patie said in relief, "Thank you." Head Nurse Tio said to Haria, "There was nothing you could have done, Haria. Not even I could have cured it. We had to call Dr. Danny to help us." Vice Captain Earth said to Nekolas, "We'll give your father a proper burial later. While he wasn't a knight, he was an honorable warrior. He helped us many times in the past as a one-man militia." Nekolas said in grief, "Master Earth, thanks."

"What If" Scenario
In the alternate version of Chapter 16, after Patie would ask if her younger self if alright, everyone would give a dead silence until Raiden said with an angry-but-sad look, "Tch... I'm sorry. We couldn't save her. Nurse Tio couldn't get rid of that Angry Devil's Toxin and let mother die." They all would have reacted in shock, "What?!" with Nurse Tio feeling upset, yelling, "Hey, wait a minute. I tried my best. It's just something I never did before." Dr. Danny would ask, "It's not easy getting rid of Angry Devil's Toxin or its original venom. If I was there, I could have gotten rid of it." Head Nurse Tio would feel really stupid and said, "I know. I wish I would have thought about that sooner but I didn't know if you would have made it back alive. I'm sorry, Patie. I couldn't save your younger self's life. I tried my best, I swear." Princess Koruru would say in guilt, "I couldn't save her either even with my power." Patie would feel sad and would wonder how little Gash is doing, which older Gash would ask, "How did I feel?" Raiden woul say, "Well, you really cried like a baby, but little Aunt Koruru is taking care of you now. Looks like she'll be our mother now, in a way, which still feels a bit strange to me. Last thing I did before we went back to the future was me giving you mom's doll of herself. You really gripped onto that doll." The group wouldn't know that Patie would later be resurrected by a female Fortune Teller, but only temporarily as the Fortune Teller Lady's body was so old and ancient that she was near her lifespan and her necromancy was very limited.

After the stories, Commander Zeon said, "Alright, everyone. We need to focus our attention on the war. Seems Zega has already cleaned up the mess. Still, I won't forgive his treason just from that." Raiden said, "Zega is actually not that bad once you get used to him. Sure he may have been evil but at least he had standards. Plus, he was an awesome fighter with the sense of challenge. He's actually a villain I like despite the things he's done like destroying our school. Actually, I'll praise him for that because school sucks. Ha!" Nekolas said, "Yet you don't... Never mind." He decided not to bring that argument again.

Zega teleported in front of the group and said while gasping for air, "Okay, we must hurry before my brother returns." Suddenly, a deep voice roared out in the distance, "ZEEEEEGAAAAA!!!!!" Neo Zecross is really mad that his Netherworld Army disappeared. As everyone held their ears tight, especially Haria, Raiden reacted, "Holy crud!" Zega said cautiously, "No!" Neo Zecross teleported in front of them and said, "I'm very disappointed in you, brother." Everyone was shocked seeing the new god right before their eyes. Neo Zecross was HUGE!!! Like, at least half of the size bigger than he was when he first became an archdevil. Neo Zecross' feet were bigger than the whole group combined. Raiden reacted in shock, "Holy crap! He's huge! How did he get this big..." with Rain following up in fear, "...And scary?" The ninjas Pancho and Kyanchome screamed in hopeless and despair, "Eeeeyaaaah!!! We're doomed!" Neo Zecross said to Zega, "Back to the Netherworld with you—" As Neo Zecross placed his hand out, aiming at Zega, the sky was roaring thunder as thunderclouds were building up. Suddenly, holy lightning struck Neo Zecross with him reacting in pain, "Kyaaaaah!" Everyone wondered what was going on, whether it could have been a random thunderstorm or what. Commander Zeon wondered, "Lightning?" Raiden said, "It's not me, I think." Gash wondered, "Could it be...?" Another lightning struck the ground, making the appearance Paradise King Jupiter, the God of Thunder and Lightning, on Demon World. Along the military units, the angelic Captain Lucius said in relief, "It's His Holy Majesty! That's definitely his Heaven's Thunder lightning blessing _{[雷恵：天国の雷, Raimegumi: Tengoku no Kaminari, "Lightning Blessing: Heaven's Thunder]}."

King Jupiter looked saddened and said, "No, I'm too late," then he said with a wrathful expression, "YOU?!" gazing at Neo Zecross. Zecross was at least half the size bigger than King Jupiter, due to absorbing the souls and powers of the archangels and archdevils. Raiden wondered, "Whoa! Who the heck is that guy?" Gash said, "Jupiter-dono, King of Paradise. The God of Thunder and Lightning." Raiden praised the Thunder God in excitement, "SO COOL!!!" After Neo Zecross brushed off the iritation he got from King Jupiter, he said with a smirk, "Heh! You're too late, old man. I already have your friends' powers. So, Your Holy Majesty, what could someone like you, do to a Supreme God like me?" King Jupiter said, "For the sake of the entire universe: Demon World, Spirit World... I'll stop you myself, even if it costs me my life." Neo Zecross had to laugh at that and said, "Heh, haha. Ahahahaha! I admire your spirit, but your efforts will be futile against my newfound powers. Darkness Curse: Dark Blast _{[闇呪：闇爆破, Yaminoroi: Yami Bakuha]}!" Neo Zecross shot a blast of chaotic darkness energy at King Jupiter. King Jupiter defended with, "Wood Blessing: Arbor Wall _{木恵：東屋壁, Mokumegumi: Azumaya Kabe}!" Giant trees grow quickly from the ground and blocked the blast of darkness as a shield as the Dark Blast exploded on the trees, Besides lightning, which is his primary attribute, King Jupiter can also manipulate wood, as a reference to Jupiter's wood element in Chinese planetary astrology, but each of the Four Great Angelic Saints also referenced this in addition to being Roman deities. King Jupiter made a trap and counterattack, "Wood Blessing: Root Capture
_{[木恵：根捕獲, Mokumegumi: Nehokaku]}! Lightning Blessing: Lightning Bolt _{[雷恵：落雷, Raimegumi: Rakurai]}!" Giant tree vines appeared beneath Neo Zecross' feet and ensnared his feet, preventing Neo Zecross from moving with him wondering, "What's this?!" A quick bolt of holy lightning was shot from King Jupiter's staff and Neo Zecross quickly guarded it by crossing his arms and enduring the shock.

Neo Zecross revealed his face after blocking that attack, saying, "Heh! You'll have to try better than that, God of Thunder." From the ground, Demon Prince Raiden Bell joined in the battle, "Oh yeah?! How about this! Rai'oh Zakeruga!" He launched his signature attack towards Neo Zecross but this time, his Rai'oh Zakeruga is even bigger and more powerful. It appears to be stronger than the strongest form of Baō Zakeruga and even though this is a demon spell, this Rai'oh Zakeruga used as if it was a blessing, enhanced with holiness, due to that power transfer. The massive winged dragon of holy electricity struct the ensnared Neo Zecross, dealing significant electrical damage as he reacted in pain, "Gyaaaaah!" The angels from below were surprised that a demon harmed a super archdevil with Lucius reacting, "What?" Raiden reacted to his own attack, "Dang! Woo, that power up was amazing! I never saw my Rai'oh Zakeruga that big." Even Nekolas and Pancho were speechless and jealous in surprise with Nekolas saying in fear, "Holy crud! Remind me not to mess with him again." King Jupiter reacted in surprise, "What's this? Demon magic harming a god? What's the meaning of—Who are you?" Raiden Bell said, "The name's Raiden, Raiden Bell. Son of the previous Demon King Gash Bell, one of Demon World's princes, and the Thunder Dragon of the Sea!" Gash Bell and Patie got worried when Raiden was talking to the Holy God casually with Gash saying, "R-Raiden, mind your manners!" Patie yelled at her son, "You shouldn't talk to Paradise's King like, or a god in general. Please show some respect!" King Jupiter decided not to take it seriously and said, "Ehh, I see, so you are his son. You remind me of one of my own sons." He was talking about Mars since Mars and Raiden usually talk casually and love fighting. Raiden wondered, "Really? Who?" Gash said, "Mars, the General of Paradise's Peacekeeping Angel Army. When I first met him, I could see so much you in him. Hehe. He was the one that taught me blessing, white Spirit World magic, the magic I gave to Rai'oh. But Jupiter-dono is not someone you should talk to casually." Raiden said, "Oh, sorry umm... Your Majesty. I'll help you defeat this creep. I fought him once before when he was demon." King Jupiter said, "I'll grant your service to me, young one." Patie said to her son, "Raiden!" He wondered and Patie continued, praying for him, "Be careful..." Raiden said, "I will, mother. I haven't died yet." King Jupiter then said, "However, the Spirit God Crown is compulsory." Raiden wondered, "Spirit God Crown?" After Neo Zecross got over his paralysis and broke out of giant tree roots from his feet, he said, "I won't let that happen. I'll destroy the lot of you!" He aimed to the ground, which frightened some people, putting their guard up. King Jupiter shot another Lightning Bolt without incantation at Neo Zecross' hand to stop him from targeting him with him in slight reaction, "Yeh!"

Zega suddenly teleported to the group and said, "I banished the Netherworld Army to the Twilight World." The group wondered, "Zega?!" Zega continued, "If we're going to need the Spirit God Crown, it's inside my brother's fortress. However, I cannot gain access to the fortress anymore due to a force field our royal scientist created, even with my teleportation. Though, I scouted out four robotic guardians Zulu made, which should be the keys to opening the force field if I read his mind correctly with that thing he gave me." Pancho wondered, "When you said 'guardian', you mean those Dembot Guardians? And, are you really on our side?" Zega said, "That's what he's called them. And just to let you know, I'm only doing this until my younger brother goes back to his old senses. I don't really care whether or not this world gets destroyed but I want my brother to go back to his senses. Any volunteers to save this despicable world?" Prince Raiden said to the group, "You guys go ahead. Destroy those guardians. I'll help out the Thunder God take down Zecross." The Royal Knights wondered what they should do and Sir Vincelot asked, "Commander?" Zeon said to them, "You heard him. If we're going to save this world, let's go." King Rain Bell said, "I'm coming too." Tioga followed him up, "Me too." Gash, Patie, and Koruru were surprised, "Rain(-chan)?" as well as Tioga's family members, "Tioga-chan?" King Rain said, "As Demon King, I want to help save this world," and Tioga said, "Me too, as his future queen." Their family members nodded and respected their decision and Princess Koruru said, "Please be careful." Zega said, "Let's go already." The whole group, including the three Royal Knights, touched Zega or linked up with another person as Zega teleported the whole group besides Prince Raiden, Gash, and Patie, and Princess Koruru. Being in their ethereal forms, Gash and Patie wouldn't be able to touch them and teleport with Zega, but they'll watch the battle between the Thunder Gods _{[NOTE: Raiden's name (雷電) is an alias to the Japanese Thunder God Raijin (雷神)]} and the Supreme God of Darkness (闇の最高神, Yami no Saikōshin). Meanwhile, Koruru will back up her older nephew and the surviving angel and demon warriors but she needs to stay cautious.

Scene: Entrance of Neo Zecross' Fortress (nighttime)

[Insert random preparation music]
Zega teleported the volunteered group to the front entrance of his brother's working-in-progress giant fortress. In-front of the group was a well-protected force field. Zega said, "This is the fortress Dr. Zulu is building for my brother. Unfortunately, the force field blocks out my teleportation so we can't get in it directly." The group was silent and surprised. Unfortunately, there are four layers of impenetrable blue force fields blocking the fortress (including underground to prevent diggers), which, in addition to being indestructible (even towards Spirit World magic, as Dr. Zulu has done his research), the force fields also blocks out communications, which prevents Zega from reading Dr. Zulu's mind with the holopathy Dr. Zulu made for him, as well as blocking teleportation. It's just like the force field that was protecting Dr. Zulu's imperial tower back when Dr. Zulu had that in the Human World, but enhanced to block Spirit World magic. As proof, when King Jupiter was summoning himself to Demon World, a few holy lightning strikes from the clouds attempted to strike the fortress randomly right after the magical barriers were put up when Dr. Zulu released his new Dembot Guardians.

Commander Zeon asked, "So how do we get in?" Pancho already figured it out, knowing how it worked before, "I'm guessing we have to destroy—" Zega interfered his explanation, "There are four robotic guardians. One of them should be lurking around here somewhere." Suddenly, a gust of wind passed by the group from the front. As everyone guarded their self from the ominous wind, someone appeared above the force field, and shouted in an honorable Japanese warrior-like robotic voice, "And that would be me, Unit ZDB-G07, Tengu _{[天狗, "Heavenly Dog"]}, Heavenly Samurai of the Wind _{[風の天武士, Kaze no Tenbushi]}." An armored, black-winged android appeared in the shadows of the early night, hovering above the barrier. In reaction, Commander Zeon wondered, "Who's there?" The Dembot Guardian already stated his name, "A warrior shouldn't need to repeat their name. As ordered by Zulu-dono, no one besides Kami-sama _{[神様, God, and he's referring to Neo Zecross]} is allowed in this fortress at the moment. I suggest you leave or, if your brave enough, challenge me to a duel to the death." As Tengu decended slowly towards the ground while slowly flapping his black robotic crow wings, revealing his patched-up, long-nosed red face, Ninja Captain Kyanchome pulled out a kunai and said, "You guys go on ahead, I got this." Ninja Vice Captain Pancho said, "I'll back you up dad." Head Nurse Tio wondered, "Kyanchome? Pancho?" then said, "I'll back you up." Zega said, "I don't want to lose track so everyone else, grab back on. We're going." Before Zega teleported everyone else, Tioga said, "Be careful papa, mama, big brother." Pancho said, "Be safe, Tioga." Zega teleported them out.

Scene: Northern Misty Woods, far northwest of Neo Zecross' Fortress (nighttime)

[Continue/pause preparation music or change to random ambiance or stage music (#1, #2, #3, #4a, #4b)]
Zega teleported the group into a foggy forest called the Misty Woods. Haria wondered, "Where are we?" Visibility in these woods are pretty low but still decent enough to see within twenty feet. Zega said, "The Misty Woods. There should be two guardians in here somewhere." A noise of a monkey screamed over the forest with the sound of leaves falling off of trees. Nekolas said, "All I hear are monkey demons." Suddenly a robotic voice said nearby, "OOH! What do we have here?" Knight Vice Captain Earth said, "Show yourself!" The robotic monkey revealed itself on a branch, "Very well, OOH! I am Unit ZDB-G08, but you can call me Son Gokū _{[そん・ごくう or 孫悟空, transcribed as "Sūn Wùkōng" in Chinese]} the Monkey King _{[猿王, Saruō],}, King of the Kongs (コングの王, Kongu no Ō). OOH!" While this Dembot Guardian has a serious Japanese tone, similar to Tengu, he does make high pitch monkey screeches at times, as part of his A.I. As he pulls out a monkey-themed staff, he said, "Leave at once, unless you care for a duel against my Kintaga Sarubō _{[金箍猿棒, "Golden-Hooped Monkey Staff"]}." His monkey staff is a reference to the magical staff Ruyi Jingu Bang (如意金箍棒, Chinese: Rúyì Jīngū Bàng, literally "The Compliant Golden-Hooped Rod"), the weapon of Sun Wukong/Son Gokū from the Journey to the West Chinese novel. Nekolas was hyped seeing another martial artist that uses the staff that he pulls out his red quarterstaff and said, "A staff duel? Bring it on! I'll kick your Dembot butt! I've beaten robots like you before." Knight Vice Captain Earth said to his apprentice, "Nekolas!" Son Gokū replied, "Very well, challenger. Ooh-ooh!" Vice Captain Earth said, "We should destroy this thing immediately and move on." Nekolas said with ignorance, "Don't interfere. I want a challenge." As both fighters readied their battle staffs in combat, Haria said, "I'll stay here to watch. If you need backup Neko-kun, let us know." Nekolas said, "Fine by me. But don't get in my way." Vice Captain Earth said in slight frustration, "This ignorance... I'll keep my eyes on them. Sir Vincelot-kyō, Captain, go on without me." As the other Royal Knights nodded, Zega said something about Nekolas, "That kid reminds me of that prince I fought. Heh!" He then said, "Alright, another guardian should be around here. Let's go." Zega teleported the other six to the southern part of Misty Woods.
[/End of random stage music]

Scene: Southern Misty Woods, northwest of Neo Zecross' Fortress (nighttime)

As the rest group was looking around in the southwestern part of the foggy forest, they heard something around them. King Rain said, "This place looks spooky." The Misty Woods sometimes have illusions, even at night, and the mist is heavier in the southern area than the northern area. Tioga said, "What was that?" King Rain wondered, "What is it?" She must have seen something. Captain Black Knight said, "The Misty Woods is known to have hallucinations, just like the Enchanted Woods." Sir Vincelot said, "I've been in those woods before. They are not cool." Zega said, "So, who's volunteering to stay?" As the group was thinking about it, someone dashed through the woods, making noise. Captain Black Knight reacted, "Who's there?" Sir Vincelot said, "I heard it too. Thought it was a hallucination." A multi-tailed robotic fox appeared and stopped, unfolding two mechanical tails with electric coils and torch that were curled up. This beast-like Dembot Guardian said in a feminine robotic voice, "Ah, these must be the ones Zulu-dono warned me about." Like Unit ZDB-G04 Phoenix, this Dembot Guardian is also feminine. "A fox?" Tioga said. King Rain has confidence in his abilities and said, "I'll... do this." Commander Zeon Bell, Head Doctor Danny, and the two Royal Knights reacted, "Rain-sama/Your Majesty?!" King Rain said, "I want to protect this world with my power, as Demon King." Tioga said, "I'll be by your side, always." King Rain responded, "Tioga-chan?" Captain Black Knight said, "I'll stay here to protect His Majesty, Commander. I vow I'll protect the King this time. Go on ahead without me." As Zega teleported the other three, the robotic fox said, "I am Kitsune _{[狐, "Fox"]}, Unit ZDB-G06, Apparition of the Forest _{[森の妖怪, Mori no Yōkai]}. You'll feel my true power in these woods. Kitsune-gen _{[狐幻, "Fox-Illusion"]}!" Kitsune slowly disappeared with Tioga wondering, "The fox's gone."
[/End of random ambiance]

Scene: On a mountain, east of Neo Zecross' Fortress (nighttime)

After Zega teleported Military Commander Zeon Bell, Head Doctor Danny, and Royal Knight Sir Vincelot the Blood Paladin to a mountain on the far east of the fortress, Dr. Danny asked, "Where are we now?" As the wind was breezing through the mountain, Sir Vincelot recognized this place, reacting in shock, "Gah! This is..." Recent unpleasant memories were flooding back in his mind, even though he already had them. As Commander Zeon Bell looked around, he found many demon corpses on the ground, particularly among the werebear species, with some of them really bloody and with some of them without bleeding. There were also some dead demons in red robes and a few in blue robes. Zeon reacted in shock, "What the...?! What happened here?" Dr. Danny said, "I'll check for survivors." Before he went, Sir Vincelot said, "There's nothing you can do for them. This was Barburos-kyō's village. Everyone is dead. His whole race... extinct." Dr. Danny checked anyway. Zega wondered, "Care to explain? I'm interested." Sir Vincelot said, "What's there to explain to a terrorist like yourself?" Commander Zeon said, "Those Acolytes of the Nether cult you mentioned? Were they the ones that—" Sir Vincelot responded, "Yes. They took out the souls of every villager, including Barburos-kyō. Me and Rosella-kyō were lucky." Zega's interest peaked when he heard that group name, "The Acolytes of the Nether, you say?" Sir Vincelot wondered, "You know about them?" Zega said, "The Dark Lord tried recruiting my younger brother into his occult. My brother refused to join them, especially since we were going to form our own group, the Demon Revolution Army. That and because I was not applicable of joining their occult. My brother wouldn't leave me behind. He did have standards like me at the time, despite our wickedness." Sir Vincelot said, "And that giant titan-like god is your brother? Gul'ren did something out on that cliff..." He pointed at the spot where Gul'ren spotted Zecross' battle against Demon World Military, "... and your sibling suddenly disappeared, turned to dust." Zega said, "Interesting. That explains why Zecross felt cheated, and that's explains why he seeks vengeance. This whole time, I thought he broke his contract with the previous Supreme God of Spirit World, Yama, the Death God Great King. In revenge against Yama-sama, after our deaths, my brother successfully escaped the Netherworld, defeated Yama-sama and absorbed his powers. His twisted evil heart morphed him into an archdevil, a God of Evil." Commander Zeon said, "So that's what's been going on in the afterlife. Anyway, going back on our mission, where is this fourth guardian?" Zega said, "Should be somewhere in this mountain. Must have miscalculated its position. I can't sense machines."

Dr. Danny returned from inspected the dead werebear demons and shouted, "Guys, I found Barburos-kyō!" The others followed him and Dr. Danny said while inspecting his giant dead body, "His body feels lifeless, yet, there are barely any injuries and no infections. He didn't bleed to death, but he sure has a tough, solid body." Sir Vincelot said with a grieving look, "He had his soul taken." Dr. Danny said, "Thought so. I'm sorry, I can't do anything about this. They really are all dead." Sir Vincelot said, "It's fine, forget about it. We'll bury him later. I didn't have time to do it earlier. But what they did was so uncool." The demons that are dead on the ground with red robes were normal acolytes while the ones that wore blue robes were the elite necrolytes of the Acolytes of the Nether. It's a miracle that the Royal Knights along with some random knights were able to defeat them, otherwise, they would have been a huge threat capable of overthrowing Demon World; a bigger threat than the Demon Revolution Army.

Dr. Danny then said, "Well, come look at this." He then showed the group another werebear corpse, one that is familiar to Zeon, "This is... Rein." Dr. Danny asked, "Who?" Commander Zeon said, "He was a friend of my brother. But what about him?" Dr. Danny said, "I inspected his body. His body contains Devil's Toxin and it looks very recent." Commander Zeon wondered, "Devil's Toxin?" Dr. Danny explained, "As with the Angry Devil's Toxin I explained, it's toxic acid, but this is more common and is easier to cure than the angry version." Sir Vincelot wondered, "I don't know anyone among the acolytes that had that and he was already dead. His soul was taken too." Commander Zeon wonders about this mystery, "Hmm... This is fishy..." The group then heard multiple nearby robotic roars that were draconic, "Aaaaaarggh! Kyeeeeh!!!" Dr. Danny wondered, "What was that?" Commander Zeon said, "Must be our target." Before moving out, Sir Vincelot asked, "Commander, what do we do about him?" Referring to Zega, before Commander Zeon said anything, Zega said, "I must be ready to steal the Spirit God Crown." Commander Zeon said, "Oh no, you're not! I still don't trust you one bit. You better still be here by the time we destroy this thing. We're not walking all the way back and I don't trust you with some kind of power it has." After the warriors searched for the robotic roars, Zega said in slight frustration, looking away, "Hmm! I may be evil but I'm an honest man. Just hurry."

The three warriors encountered a giant eight-headed metal serpent and Commander Zeon yelled, "Halt!" Its eight heads turned around, wondering, "Hur?!" Dr. Danny reacted to its appearance, "Dang! A dragon... snake with eight heads." Among all Dembot Guardians Dr. Zulu, this Dembot Guardian appears to be one of the biggest Dembot Guardian, appearing to be at least 30 feet tall with its heads standing, but it's still small in comparison to any of the Dembot Masters Dr. Zulu's made, but it's still one of the biggest Dembot Guardians along with Unit ZDB-G03 Kraken. The first head on the left responded, "That must be Demon World Military's Commander Zulu-sama mentioned." The head on the far right responded, "Are these the punks that Zulu-dono told us about?." The second head to the left said, "They look nothing. Not a threat at all!" The middle left head said, "We are Unit ZDB-GO5 Orochi _[大蛇]..." The middle right head followed it up, "... Yamata no Orochi _{[八岐大蛇, "Eight-Headed Giant Serpent"]}, Dragons of Death _{[死の竜, Shi no Ryū]}!" Every head then shouted, "We Orochi will infect and disintegrate the lot y'all! Kyreeeeeh!!!" Each of the heads has a serious, angry robotic tones but they slightly sound different. They are preparing to attack.

Battle against the four new Dembot Guardians

The follow battles takes place simultaneously, meaning that you can read them in any order.

Battle: Ninja Captain Kyanchome, Ninja Vice Captain Pancho, and Head Nurse Tio vs. Tengu (Unit ZDB-G07) (at the entrance of Neo Zecross' fortress)

[Choose random battle music: #1, #2]
After Zega teleported everyone besides the ninjas and Head Nurse Tio, Unit ZDB-G07 Tengu said to them from above in a Japanese-like warrior voice, "Very well. If you happen to defeat me and my brethren, you may pass, but that won't happen." Tengu unsheathed a katana from his waste and incanted a magitech attack, "Kazekiri _{[風切り, "Wind Cutter"]}!" Tengu utilizes wind-elemental magitech abilities, especially razor wind from his katana. As Tengu sliced the air rapidly a few times, he launched sharp aerial waves at Captain Kyanchome and Vice Captain Pancho. As the two ninjas dodged the blades of wind, Kyanchome unsheathes his katana while Pancho grabs two kunai from his kunai pouch on the back of his waste. Captain Kyanchome then incanted, "Dima Buruku!" creating at least three solid clones. As each clone and Kyanchome jumped into the air, two clones boosted another clone and the real Kyanchome further into the air with their hands against their feet. The two attempted to slice Tengu but Tengu blocked their two katana with his katana. Tengu looked down at them, "Really?" As Kyanchome and his clone fell down, the clone boosted the real up back up to Tengu's height, saying, "Don't underestimate me!" At the same time, his clones were preparing to throw shuriken at Tengu. Tengu said, "You may try, but you cannot get what you can't see. Kaze no Kage _{(風の影, "Shadow of the Wind")}!" Wind spun around Tengu and Tengu suddenly disappeared. "What?" Captain Kyanchome wondered. At the same time, his clones threw shurikens into the sky. The real Kyanchome in the air said, "Hold your fire!" but he said it too late and defended against the accidental friendly fire. The clones apologized, "Oops, sorry!"

Pancho realized that Tengu is actually invisible and as the wind passed by the clones, he shouted, "Watch out, he's invisible." While concealed and in the middle of all Kyanchome clones—adjacent to him—Tengu uttered another magitech ability, "Fūkyū! _{[風球, "Wind Sphere"]}!" The clones were getting slashed by unknown wind blades around them and disappeared but Pancho threw two kunai at the spot Tengu was at but they have blown away with scratch marks. Tengu's spherical barrier of razor wind can be used for both offense and defense. After the blades of wind disappeared, Tengu reveals himself, hovering off the ground with his black crow-like robotic wings, and said, "Impressive. For a shinobi, you really have good eyes." Pancho pulled out two more kunai and said, "You're cloaking ability will not work with my Invisibility Awareness, as an invisibility user. Inbisuruku!" After Pancho turned himself invisible, the real Kyanchome landed on the ground and engaged melee combat with Tengu with katana-versus-katana action. After several sword slashes, Kyanchome locked his katana on Tengu's katana, pushing his katana towards Tengu. Tengu counterattacked out of the sword lock with, "Fūjin no Katana _{[風神の刀, "Wind God's Sword"]}!" creating small blades of wind on his katana, which are repeatedly scratching Kyanchome's katana and pushing him back with him reacting, "What?!" As Tengu released the sword lock and slashed his razor windy sword, the force of the wind he released tossed Kyanchome backward while shredding parts of his body with him reacting in pain, "Kyaaaaah!" His arms especially had a lot of cut marks—even ones going through his armguards—which also caused Kyanchome's weapon to be disarmed while Kyanchome was falling on the ground. Head Nurse Tio got worried, "Kyanchome!" Though, the cut wounds were actually quite shallow. So far, Tio hasn't done anything in this battle but she should protect her family.

Pancho, while invisible, was about to sneak attack Tengu but accidentally gave himself away by shouting in worrisome, "Dad?!" Tengu traced the source of Pancho's voice behind him, "I know you're there," and swiped his windy sword, creating a gust of razor wind to push Pancho back in mid-air as Pancho also reacted in some pain, "Taaaah!" While Pancho was tossed in the air, Tengu deactivates his Fujin no Katana magitech ability, then slowly waves his katana horizontally and brings it around vertically up, preparing another technique, "Tsuki no Mikadzuki _{[月の三日月, "Crescent of the Moon"]}!" As Tengu vertically slashes his sword downwards once, he created a large, crescent-shaped wind cutter that rotated vertically, aiming at Pancho in mid-air. Pancho didn't have time to put up an invisible wall but his mother acted quickly, "Giga Ra Seushiru!" creating a green force field around Pancho to protect him against the sharp crescent wind. She then incanted, "Saifojio!" summoning a pink healing sword, throwing it at Kyanchome to heal his wounds. Tengu said, "You should not have interfered. Kage no Kaze." Tengu disappeared again as wind spun around him. While cloaked within the wind, Tengu flew behind Nurse Tio. As Tio felt the wind passing by her, she turned around and as Tengu was revealing himself, preparing to assassinate Tio with his katana, something went wrong. Tengu stopped moving, "What?! Why can't I—" Tio wondered as death was staring into her face, "What's going—?" Without Tengu noticing, there is a shrunken Kyanchome clone inside Tengu's torso from an unprotected part of the back of his armor, ripping and cutting Tengu's wiring. But how and when?

As Kyanchome was getting up after being healed, he explained, "Back when I created my clones with Dima Buruku, I actually created a fourth clone. That clone secretly used the shrinking spell Koporuku immediately upon being summoned and cling onto you when we clashed blades, jumping off from me to you. Like I said, don't underestimate me and it seems your samurai armor has a flawed design. Guess your boss didn't patch the gaps on your back." Tengu said in an anguished tone, "Impossible! This is not an honorable way to be defea~~~~ted..." As Tengu's voice was diminishing, he instantly deactivated. After Tio took a few steps back, the shrunken Kyanchome clone done something inside Tengu that caused Tengu to destruct, with Tio reacting as a jumpscare, "Eee!"

As Pancho got up, slightly injured, he said in envy, "Ahh man, I wanted to crush him. But wow. I don't think I could ever beat you, dad." Tio said, "Those wounds Pancho, let me heal you." As Tio used her Healing Touch ability to heal the scratches on Pancho's body, Kyanchome said, "Haha. You are a smart kid, son, but there's a lot of things you need to learn about being a shinobi. Not even Byonko-kun, your sensei, was able to take me out, even though we trained together for years. Even if you learn new spells and build yourself stronger, it wouldn't need to be enough. As a shinobi, you need to think of strategies; think like a ninja. Not only you need stealth but you need to be unpredictable. However, as you repeat your strategy and technique, they become more predictable, so come up with something new every time. That's something Byonko-kun and my infantries never learned or fully understood." After Tio healed Pancho, Pancho chuckled and said, "Tehe. Thanks, I'll keep that in mind." Kyanchome then looked at the sky, thinking about him, I wonder how you are doing buddy. We miss you a lot. Thank you for visiting me from the heavens.

As Pancho looked at his dad, who was staring at the sky doing nothing, he asked, "Dad, what are you thinking?" Kyanchome responded, "I'm just wondering about that guy." Tio wondered, "What should we do now?" Pancho looked at the force field and it was disappearing one-by-one, "Look. The barriers are disappearing." A layer disappeared when Tengu was destroyed and it looks like other subgroups have successfully destroyed their respective Dembot Guardians around at the same time, but later in seconds or minutes.

Battle: Knight Vice Captain Earth, Nekolas, and Haria vs. Son Gokū (Unit ZDB-G08) (nighttime at northern Misty Woods)

[Choose random battle music: #1, #2]
After Zega teleported six other members out of the northern area of Misty Woods, leaving Knight Vice Captain Earth, Earth's Squire Nekolas, and Nekolas' girlfriend Haria behind, Nekolas challenged the Dembot Guardian Unit ZDB-G08 Son Gokū, the Monkey King—King of the Kongs—to a one-on-one duel. Both practitioners of bōjutsu jumped towards each other and engaged in melee combat with their battle staffs, fighting on equal terms as they take swings and block each other's attacks. After a dozen swings, both martial artists backed off on each other, holding to a stance. Nekolas said, "Heh, you are not that bad." Son Gokū said in response, "Neither you, young warrior-OOH, but I'll show you the power of my magitech and my martial arts. Saruken: Hyakusaru no Tsuyosa _{[猿拳：百猿の強さ, "Monkey Fist: The Strength of One-Hundred Monkeys"]}!" As their staffs were locked, the pressure of magical energy inside Son Gokū's metallic limbs and torso were building up, making Son Gokū's upper body more buffed and a blue aura appeared around Son Gokū metallic body. As Son Gokū was pushing back, Nekolas immediately reacted in surprise, "What?!" The increased magical energy pressure greatly increased Son Gokū's physical strength and endurance and as Son Gokū broke out of the staff lock, he punched Nekolas with his energetic-bulky right fist, yelling another martial arts technique, "Saruken: Kingu Kongu no Ken _{[猿拳：キングコングの術, "Monkey Fist: King Kong Fist"]}!" As Nekolas put his guard up by crossing his fire arm shield gauntlets to block the powerful fist, Nekolas' right fire shield gauntlet shattered and Nekolas was sent flying through several trees, breaking them over with his back as he slightly reacted in pain in each breakthrough.

Haria yelled in worrisome, "Nekolas-kun!" Nekolas got himself back in control and landed on the ground, sliding back for a second. He then felt a lot of pain in his right forearm after his right fire shield broke, "Teh-teh-teh! Ahh! Man, that sucks. Not only he broke my fire shield gauntlet but he broke my arm. That sucks, Ahh! Now I won't be able to use Rioru Emurushiruga anymore and my regular Emurushiruga will be weaker. Arrrgh!" He yelled in frustration too. Even with a broken arm, he'll try to do whatever he can. After Haria and Vice Captain Earth turned around facing in the direction where Son Gokū was, Sir Earth said, "I told him we should have destroyed that monkey from the—Where did he go? After it!" Son Gokū already left without them knowing and is chasing after Nekolas but Haria and Sir Earth heard the sound of leaves in the trees and the two followed the sounds.

Back to where Nekolas was, after ignoring the pain, he wondered and said, "Oh man, umm... Haria-chan, Earth-kyō, where are you?" With the mist in the forest at night, it's really hard to see where anything is at. Luckily at night, he wouldn't really see any hallucinations from the woods' effects, but he could still hear things like something was moving around him with him reacting, "Who's that? Oh man, this place gives me the creeps." He then yelled, "Oi, Haria-chan, Earth-kyō—" Suddenly, "Genki Dama _{[元気玉, Energy Ball]}!" A small ball of light blue energy was thrown towards Nekolas direction from above but Nekolas reacted in time to dodge it, "Whoa!" Two more energy balls were thrown at Nekolas from above and Nekolas blocked it with his quarterstaff in his left hand. On top of a tree branch around Nekolas, Son Gokū had another energy ball in his right hand while holding his Kintaga Sarubō in his left hand, "Impressed that you survived my Kingu Kongu no Ken, warrior. OOH!" As Son Gokū was deactivating his fourth Denki Dama in hand, he said, "But don't think you will get out alive," and goes into a battle stance with his Kintaga Sarubō. With Nekolas having a hard time moving his right arm due to pain, he'll fight back with his left hand with staff in hand.

As Vice Captain Sir Earth and Haria were following their trails, they saw Nekolas being flung over to them with him saying, "Oof!" upon hitting the ground next to them. Sir Earth and Haria just noticed him as he landed on the ground with Haria saying, "Neko-kun!" and Sir Earth saying, "Nekolas!" As Haria was helping him up, Nekolas said, "Man, this robo-monkey is stronger than that ice ape. Ouch! And smarter..." Haria noticed Nekolas' injuries and said, "Your arm. Urujio!" While using her Healing Touch medic ability on Nekolas' right arm, she accelerated the healing rate with Urujio—healing and repairing Nekolas broken bones quicker—Nekolas said, "Haria-chan... Just leave me be. This is a one-on-one fight." From a tree branch, Son Gokū said, "What's this? Interference?" Sir Earth said, "For Pete's sake, Nekolas. You are merely a squire, my knight apprentice. Enough with these shenanigans." After Nekolas got up after being healed, yelled in seriousness, "NO! Leave him to me. This is only between me and him. I swore to my father that I would get strong on my own, to surpass him. Don't interfere my fight. I'll fight as an honorable knight and die as an honorable knight. Emurushiruga!" Lifting his left arm up, Nekolas shot a beam of flame—that's a bit smaller than usual—at Son Gokū, then ran towards Son Gokū with his quarterstaff in his right hand. Sir Earth said in frustration, "That ego of his...," while Haria shouted, "Be careful!"

As a beam of flames was heading in the Monkey King's way, he blocked the flames by spinning his robotic hands, creating a spinning shield with his monkey staff, "Bōjutsu: Bōtate _{[棒術：棒盾, "Staff Technique: Staff Shield"]}!" While distracted, Nekolas jumped towards Son Gokū, incanting, "Ranzu Gadyū!" creating a spike metal tip at the end of is his staff which is engulfed in flames, making his staff into a fire spear. Of course, Son Gokū is going to counter by pushing Nekolas' fire spear out of the way with his monkey staff and said, "So predictable. Kingu Kongu no Ken!" At the same time, Nekolas thought to himself, this is for you, pops, incanted his father's spell, "Gō Gadyūbauren," delivering a powerful fire punch with his left hand as his flaming fist landed on Son Gokū's energized fist, creating a small shock in the air. However, Nekolas was flown back but he has taken the hit and endured it well, though Nekolas was still serious about taking Son Gokū out alone and charged after him again, "Aaaargh!" As both martial artists engaged melee combat, rod fighting in the trees, Son Gokū said, "You were a great fighter but this fight must come to an end. OOH! Kyūkyoku Bōjutsu: Saruryū _{[究極棒術：猿竜, "Ultimate Staff Technique: Monkey Dragon"]}!" Son Gokū transferred a lot of his magical energy into his Kintaga Sarubō, and performed a quick-but-long staff combo on Nekolas while they were both on the ground. Nekolas tried his best to dodge as well as block the swipes with his staff and fire shield gauntlet. However, Nekolas' red quarterstaff eventually broke into two bars and when that happened, Son Gokū got into an opening, bludgeoning Nekolas into a devastating combo. Nekolas was unable to defend himself from there as he was taking blows after blows. At the end of Son Gokū's devastating combo, he whipped his energetic staff to form the energy in the shape of a dragon, and yelled, "The Finishing Blow! AAAH!!!," ending his Saruryū technique with an upward poke to Nekolas' chin, launching Nekolas into the air, "Gaaargh!" and nearly broken his jaw. Nekolas landed on the ground with his body wounded and bruised.

[Insert random dramatic and battle music]
Haria, worried for him, yelled, "Nekolas-kun!!!" Son Gokū jumped on a tree branch and said, "Now that the boy is through, I shall—Ooh..?!" Even Son Gokū ultimate magitech attack couldn't stop Nekolas from getting back up. As Nekolas slowly stood back up in pain, holding the two pieces of his broken staff and with his back facing the others', Nekolas turned his head and said while gasping, "Ehh... Ehh... I-I'm not... through with you. Heh..." Son Gokū was impressed, but at the same time, frustrated, "You survived my ultimate technique? Impossible, how are you still standing?" Nekolas said with eyes burning with valor and determination, "I-I'm not giving up here—not now, not ever. I stand as a proud knight... I'll surpass my father... And become the strongest feline warrior of my clan. Ain't no way I'm losing here." Son Gokū said with an irritated tone, "Know your place boy, that persistence is going to get you killed. Very well, young warrior, I'll make sure my next attack kills you for good." Both Bōjutsu martial artists are about to go at it again but this is the finale. One will stand and one will be destroyed. Before Nekolas ran off, he incanted, "Emurudoruku!" summoning a flaming crimson armor that burned with determination. With two pieces of his broken staff in hands, he used that to his advantage and incanted, "Emurusorudo!" creating a long metal blade on both broken pieces of his staff, engulfed with flames, giving him dual-wielding fire swords. With his fire armor, fire swords, and fire shield in left hand, Nekolas looks like a real fire knight as he ran after Son Gokū vigorously with a burning passion, to destroy Son Gokū. Son Gokū incanted another energy-based magitech, "I'll slice you down first. Bōjutsu: Tsuyoshiha _{[棒術：勁刃, "Staff Technique: Vigorous Blades]}!" While holding his Kintaga Sarubō, Son Gokū enchanted it with magical energy from the banana-themed golden poles of his staff, solidifying the blue energy into sharp blades at both ends of his staff. The energy blades at ends of Son Gokū's Kintaga Sarubō are sharp enough to decapitate a demon's head, and he plans on beheading Nekolas if he gets the first blow. Who will win?

As both fighters drew close, Nekolas thought to himself, I will surpass you, pops, and all of our enemies. As Son Gokū was preparing the decapitation, Nekolas incanted another of his father's spells, "Gadyū Uruku!" teleporting via disappearing in flames. After Son Gokū's back horizontal slash missed, with him reacting, "What?!" Nekolas reappeared in flames next to him and struck Son Gokū with his fire swords. As Son Gokū dropped, his robotic monkey head came off with electricity and magical energy sparking inside his body. Gas of pure energy poured out of his neck. The robotic Monkey King's torso then fell off too. Son Gokū suddenly exploded afterward, which made Nekolas react into guarding as a jumpscare.

After Son Gokū blew up, a layer of Dr. Zulu's force field was taken down. Haria cheered, "You did it Neko-kun." Knight Vice Captain Earth sighed and said, "Ehh. Don't do that again. Do you hear me? Huh?" When Nekolas reappeared as he slashed down Son Gokū in flames, Son Gokū's the front end of Kintaga Sarubō's energy blade stabbed through Nekolas' back, through his intestines, and sliced through the left side of Nekolas' waste. Nekolas couldn't take anymore and passed out. Haria cried for him, "Nekolas-kun!" She ran to him and was worried, "Are you—" Nekolas didn't move for that second but he coughed and was breathing heavily afterward. Haria said, "Thank goodness you're alive. Gijio! Urujio!" Haria closed the bleeding wound on Nekolas' waste and back with ice and increase the ice's healing speed with Urujio. Nekolas asked, "Did I do it? Did I win?" Sir Earth said in disappointment, "You did but don't ever do that again." Nekolas apologized, "Sorry, but I didn't want to falter the pride of my clan. I wish my dad could see me. Did I surpass him?" Sir Earth's mood changed and said, "Heh. I'd say your dad would have been proud, and angry for what you pulled, like me." After Nekolas was healed, he laughed at that, "Ha... Haha... Heh! My dad would have killed me." Sir Earth said, "Still, you proved yourself to be a valiant knight. A knight must always value honor, valor, and heart." Nekolas asked, "So, does that mean I can be an infantry?" Sir Earth responded, "Oh no. Not until you're an adult. You know the rules and unlike your friend, I can't give you an exception just for that without the Captain's and Commander's permission and I'm not going to ask." Nekolas complained, "Ahh, man. No fair!" Sir Earth then thought about it, "Though, I'll take you on my expeditions, even the more dangerous ones, if you are up for it." Nekolas said, "Cool! To fight alongside the Golden Knight as his sidekick!" He then said, "Well, my dream is to become a Royal Knight to protect my entire clan. Nekolas, the Paladin with Burning Courage _{[勇気を燃やすとパラディン, Yūki o Moyasu to Paradin]}." Sir Earth smiled and said, "You'll be one, one day. I see great potential in you, my apprentice, and you proved yourself." Nekolas said with a smile, "Heh. But first I'll need to replace a fire shield gauntlet and this staff. But that was awesome when I had dual-wielding fire swords so I'll keep this broken one. Heh! I might take that monkey staff with me as my weapon for now." Sir Earth then said with a serious face, "Alright, let's get out of this forest and regroup before we start seeing crazy things. Misty Woods can mess with your head."

Battle: Knight Captain Black Knight, Demon King Rain Bell, and Tioga vs. Kitsune (Unit ZDB-G06) (nighttime at southern Misty Woods)

[Choose random battle music: #1, #2]
The Black Knight, King Rain Bell, and Tioga engaged battle with Unit ZDB-G06 Kitsune, Apparition of the Forest. Kitsune casted her magitech, "Kitsune-gen!" slowly disappearing into the dark mist of Misty Woods among the night. Tioga stated, "The fox's gone." Black Knight said, "Even I lost reading with our foe." King Rain said, "This place is spooky." Knight Captain Black Knight said, "The Misty Woods is not as bad at night as it is during the day but don't let your guard down, Sire. I'll protect you and your beloved with my life." The three then heard movements in the trees with Sir Black Knight reacting to it, "Show yourself!" In all directions around them, the three could hear Kitsune's voice around them, "If you can find me in this forest. In here, I have the advantage." Black Knight said softly, "If only if my partner was still alive, we could track her in an instant." Indeed. If only if the Black Knight's scouting partner Fukurō was still alive, Fukurō, being an owl demon, could easily spot Kitsune among the mist at night. As King Ring looked around, he thought he saw glowing yellow eyes in the trees, "Over there." As Black Knight and Tioga looked where the King was pointing, they didn't see anything. "I don't see anything," Tioga said. After King Rain blinked, it wasn't there anymore, "I sworn I thought I saw something." Black Knight spotted something in another direction, then it suddenly disappeared, "It could be the enemy's magic. Misty Woods don't have this much hallucination at night." Indeed it is. Kitsune's Kitsune-gen is an illusionary magitech ability to make the user invisible as well as creating holographic illusions of herself and creating voices in unknown directions, though illusions aren't her primary ability as she mainly utilizes fire- and lightning-elemental magitech abilities. Kitsune said, "If you won't attack, then I will."

Kitsune suddenly showed her real self in front of a tree. She unfolded a third mechanical tail from her body and lit up blue flames from the torches of her three opened mechanical tails, and said while throwing those will-o-wisps at the group, "Kitsune-bi! _{[狐火, "Fox-Fire"]}! Kitsune-gen!" Black Knight protected the children with, "Ranzushirudo!" folding his spiral lance into an umbrella-shaped shield to block the blue fireballs, then refold it back into its regular shape. Kitsune became invisible again afterward with Kitsune-gen. Black Knight asked, "What is your game?" Kitsune responded in multiple directions, "I'll protect Kami-sama's fortress at all cost. I'll eliminate all of my master's enemies to do so, even hiding among the mist cowardly with my illusion." Black Knight said, "Then I'll destroy you where you stand, coward. Ranzushiruga!" Sir Black Knight picked a random spot at instinct where a possible Kitsune hologram is at and shot a laser beam from his lance and of course it was a hologram as it became distorted and disappeared when the laser passed through it. As more Kitsune holograms appeared, Sir Black Knight said to King Gash and Tioga, "Stay close to me and keep your guard up." They responded, "O-okay." The real Kitsune said in an unknown direction, "Fools. How can you fight when you cannot see?" She and her holograms unfolded two more tails, having five opened and each holograms were generating light-blue electricity from the electric coils of their five revealed tails, shouting, "Kitsune-rai _{[狐雷, "Fox-Thunder"]}", and throwing over twenty balls of electricity at them with Black Knight saying, "Watch out! Ranzushirudo!" King Rain and Tioga also defended with them casting the spells, "Za-akushirudo!" and "Rifureshirudo!" respectively. Most of the electric spheres passed through their spells and disappeared as they touched the group. Though they didn't get hurt as they were holograms. The group wondered what happened but quickly figured with Black Knight responding, "Holographic projections?" Tioga said, "Some gone through me but others bounced off my mirror. Rain-kun are you fine?" King Rain responded, "Uru, I'm fine... Huh? Look out!"

As the King looked up, the sky appeared to be raining blue fireballs and electrical balls with Kitsune incanting, "Kitsune-bi Ame _{[狐火雨, "Fox-Fire Rain"]}!" Sir Black Knight said, "Even if they are illusions, stay under me!" and used his Spiral Lance in Ranzushirudo form as an umbrella to protect King Rain and Tioga from above in case if any of the falling fireballs or lightning balls were real but most of them appear to be holograms. Kitsune is quite the trickster but she's trying to stall out as long possible while keeping it safe. King Rain got an idea and said, "Black Knight-san, keep that... umbrella up for me." Black Knight said, "It's a lance. Milord, you have a suggestion?" King Rain said, "I'll make it rain too and strike it down. Rājia Za-akudon!" While it was still raining fireballs and lightning balls, King Rain summoned a small thunderstorm in the spot. The rain drops couldn't put out the fox-fires, even the real ones, but what King Rain plans to do is to soak this entire part of Misty Woods to get Kitsune wet and with lightning randomly striking down, King Rain hopes to hit Kitsune. Well... "Hiraishin _{[避雷針, "Lightning Rod"]}!" Somewhere in the forest, Kitsune attracted lightning strikes towards her and the electric coils of her tail absorbed King Rain's lightning. King Rain said, "Over there. Is she absorbing... my attack?" While this would normally be considered unfortunate, this is actually fortunate because the group now knows where the real Kitsune is located with Black Knight saying, "Good job, My Liege, now we know where she's at. Dioga Robodoruku!" After Kitsune's Kitsune-bi Ame ended, Black Knight refolded his lance back to normal, charged up a giant laser beam, aiming at the direction where Kitsune absorbed the lightning strikes. Tioga wondered, "Did you get it?" Many trees were destroyed and a path was made but Kitsune appeared to have dodged it.

Nearby in a tree, Kitsune said, "That was a risky maneuver, but I'll give you back what I absorbed, tenfold." The electric coils on Kitsune's nine tails were supercharged as she had all of her nine tails unfold, revealed in a peacock formation. She then performed, "Kitsune-bi Kujaku _{[狐火孔雀, "Fox-Fire Peacock"]}! With the supercharged electric coils on her tails, she created larger electrical balls. At the same time, the electricity was also mixed with the blue flames lit from the torches on her tails and she released them at the small group. Black Knight said, "I got this! Ranzushirudo!" Again, he folded his lance into a shield. However, the large electrical fireballs were moving on their own and Black Knight tried angling his umbrella-shaped spear the best he could. However, those attacks in the direction he was facing were actually illusions. Without noticing the whole group Tioga and Black Knight were stricken with real large spheres of will-o-wisps. Black Knight could handle endure the pain, "Ehh!" but it was annoying for him since he can't reach his back since he's a centaur. However, Tioga's clothes were burning and so was her skin as she was also being heavily electrocuted, "Ahhh!" King Rain yelled, worried for her, "Tioga-chan!" He then focused his rainstorm on putting out the flames but it only made things worse with Kitsune saying, "Even if you put out my flames, don't you think you're causing her more pain with 'our' electricity." King Rain just realized this and apologized to his girlfriend, "S-sorry!" Black Knight said, "This is getting really annoying. My sincere apologies, Your Majesty." While being burnt and shock, Tioga had to think quickly to get rid of the will-o-wisps off of her, "Rifureburuku!" She turned herself into a mirror statue and absorbed the fire and electrical will-o-wisps, then creating another mirror statue of herself to release the absorbed empowered will-o-wisps in random directions. After ending her spell, her clothes were burnt and had holes in it, "Heh? Ahh!"

King Rain was getting angry and annoyed for seeing his girlfriend harmed, which triggered the inner bravery he had like the time in the Human World, "Kitsune, you aren't playing fairly." He then said in a normal tone to Black Knight said, "I'm sorry to do this Black Knight-san, but I'm going to take her out even if I have to destroy this forest." Black Knight wondered and was surprised, "Y-Your Majesty?" King Rain just wanted to end the battle so he casted his strongest spell after ending his raining spell, "Baō-Suō Giakuru!" As he summoned a gigantic hydroelectric dragon with electric armor from the ground, with the tip he received from his mother a while ago, King Rain separated his arms to his sides while yelling, "With mother's and father's powers together, I'll separate them." He also thought out, I hope your tip works mom. The hint did work and Baō-Suō Giakuru split and separated into the Baō Zakeruga and Shin Suō Giakuru. The electrical gold armor of Baō dematerialized into electricity from Shin Suō Giakuru's water body and materialized into the strongest version of Baō Zakeruga. Both attacks were destroying trees in the southern part of Misty Woods to get rid of hiding spots. Destroying the trees also removes the illusory mist in that area, since they were being produced by misty demon trees, making it easier to see. When King Rain found the real Kitsune, he aimed both elemental dragon attacks at her in different directions. Kitsune said in a panic while dashing away from them, "Crud! This is not good. I could absorb the electrical dragon with Hiraishin but I'll be vulnerable to that water dragon. What do I do? Huh? Nooo!" While both elemental dragon attacks were enclosing Kitsune, King Rain yelled, "You are not getting away!" As he closed his hands, he made both Shin Suō Giakuru and Baō Zakeruga refuse back into Baō-Suō Giakuru. With Kitsune caught in-between the merge, she was instantly destroyed and Baō-Suō Giakuru flew vertically up outside the demon planet's atmosphere. With Kitsune destroyed, a layer of Dr. Zulu's force field was taken down.

After King Rain's Baō-Suō Giakuru disappeared and the mist cleared up, King Rain said while scratching the back of his head, "My apologies, Black Knight-san, I think I overdid it a little." Tioga happily said, "You did it ,Rain-kun!" giving him a hug and a kiss on the cheek. King Rain blushed and said, "Are you okay, Tioga-chan? Your butterfly shirt?" Tioga said in sadness, "Just my luck. And it was my favorite. I think I'll be okay but it hurt badly." King Rain said, "I'm sorry. I should have protected you better." Tioga responded, "It's okay." Captain Black Knight was shocked and speechless seeing Demon King Rain Bell destroying most of the forest for a few seconds. King Rain asked him, "Are you okay, Black Knight-san? Umm..." Captain Black Knight said to himself in self-disappointment while sighing, "What have we done?" It's a huge open area in the southern part of Misty Woods and who knows how many wild lives were taken out. King Rain apologized, "Sorry..." His belly started growing and said, "Oh, I guess I'm hungry." Tioga said, "Me too." After he calmed down, Captain Black Knight said, "In that case, I will scavenge some food for you both in this forest, hoping if there are any left in the trees. But your actions..." King Rain said, "My apologies Black Knight-san." Black Knight felt ashamed and said, "It's okay, though your uncle may not like this. (Even I caused some damage...) Don't worry, Sire, you did nothing wrong. I'll take the full blame."

Battle: Commander Zeon Bell, Raiden Bell, and Head Doctor Danny vs. Orochi (Unit ZDB-G05) (nighttime on a mountain with a werebear village)

[Choose random battle music: #1, #2]
Speaking of King Rain's uncle, Military Commander Prince Zeon Bell along with Blood Paladin Sir Vincelot and Dr. Danny were about to engage battle with the eight-headed dragon-shaped Dembot Guardian Unit ZDB-G05 Orochi, Dragons of Death, as they called themselves, but their full name is Yamato no Orochi. The eight dragon heads of Orochi made their first attack, "Sanhō _{(酸砲, "Acid Cannon")}!" Each head shot out purple acid from their mouth at the small group. As the military units dodged the attack, the ground on the mountain slightly broke apart. Dr. Danny was able to identify the acid, "Devil's Toxic Acid? Careful, don't let that stuff touch you." It appears Orochi was the one that infected Rein's corpse, but for reasons unknown. Like the Dembot Master ZDB-M02 Death Devil, Orochi has acidic powers that are poisonous but Orochi's Devil's Toxin is not as lethal as Death Devil's Angry Devil's Toxin, but it's still highly corrosive and poisonous but manageable in comparison to the angry version. To counter Orochi from being corroded himself, he as anti-acid armor inside his body and the lavender metal plates of Orochi's body are also acid-proof. Dr. Zulu couldn't find anymore Angry Devil's Toxin since that substance is rare (and he didn't know that Leviasatan's spiked tail carried it) so he had to utilize the common Devil's Toxin for Orochi.

While wielding his morning star, Sir Vincelot said, "I'll hold its heads down." Sir Vincelot released the chains attached to the spike ball, and threw it as a whip, circling around the eight necks of Orochi to tie Orochi's necks in place. Sir Vincelot was about to create crystal spikes on his chains, "Kofaru Chei—" Before that, the Orochi heads said, "We don't think so. Sanhō!" They dipped acid into the chains of Sir Vincelot's morning star and broke the chain just when Sir Vincelot was about to crystalize them, which is unfortunate. Sir Vincelot, holding a handle with no spike ball and broken chain attached, said in frustration, "Darn, that wasn't cool. Good thing I have a backup," and unsheathed the knight sword from his left waste to his right hand while putting the morning star hilt in his left hand with his dark red shield. Since Sir Vincelot is going to use a sword, Commander Zeon might as well use his large electric sword spell, "Let's just cut their heads and move on. Sorudo Zakeruga!" As Commander Zeon was charging forward, Sir Vincelot stayed at a distance and incanted the sword spell, "Sorusen!" launching a crescent-bladed projectile from his knight sword and aimed at one of the necks. Sword spells aren't Sir Vincelot's forte but it's a good idea for a knight to have sword spells even as a backup when they wield a sword as their backup weapon.

While Orochi was being targeted by Zeon and Vincelot's Sorusen, they spat acid on the ground beneath them and quickly dug underground, not only to dodge Sir Vincelot's sword projectile spell but... "What? Hey, get back here!" Prince Zeon yelled. As he looked into the giant hole, it was filled with corrosive acid so Orochi wouldn't be followed. "Darn, he... they escaped," Commander Zeon said. Sir Vincelot said, "The beast couldn't have gone too far. We'll find—Huh?!" Suddenly, the ground on the mountain started shaking. A few seconds ago, beneath their feet, deep in the mountain, one of the Orochi heads asked the other heads, "What are we doing? Guys, we should be fleeing, like Zulu-dono said." Another head argued, "We're burying our pursuers alive." The first head argued, "But..." Another head agreed to the second head, "They're the type that will be persistent in pursuing and destroying us. We'll kill anyone that stands in our way." As Orochi reached a good spot inside the mountain, another head said, "It's showtime! Everyone, prepare our Sankanketsusen _{[酸間欠泉, "Acid Geyser"]}. We're corroding them." Anywho, the Orochi heads are quaking the surface of the mountain by breaking the ground beneath the group with corrosive acid. Dr. Danny wondered, "An earthquake?" Suddenly, pillars of acid were created from the ground with the group reacting, "Whoa!" Commander Zeon figured out Orochi's plan and said, "This is bad. I see what they're doing. Everyone, move!" As the ground was breaking apart, the three tried to escape that spot. As Commander Zeon passed a geyser hole where a pillar of acid dropped, a robotic dragon head of Orochi quickly stretched its mechanical neck through that geyser hole and bit Commander Zeon's leg with his its deadly fangs while saying in a snake-like voice, "Dokuga _{[毒牙, "Venomous Fangs"]}]!" The dragon head injected Devil's Toxin (as "Devil's Venom") into Commander Zeon's leg, giving him some pain in his leg. Prince Zeon endured the pain and as he tried stabbing the head with his Sorudo Zakeruga but the head went back underground to avoid the attack. Dr. Danny and Sir Vincelot called for him, "Your Highness!" Dr. Danny suddenly got bit by a robotic dragon head too from a geyser next to him, but Dr. Danny can heal the acidic venom.

The ground suddenly broke and the group is falling into a pit of acid with Orochi in it, waiting for them. Sir Vincelot got a quick idea and with the broken morning star in his left, he incanted, "Eijasu Garon!" generating a steel spiked ball with chain as a head replacement for his morning star, attaching the spell's chain to the morning star's chain. It doesn't mean his morning star is back to normal but it's a temporary solution. While holding out his knight sword in his right hand towards Dr. Danny, Sir Vincelot said, "Grab on!" Dr. Danny grabbed the blade of the sword quickly and carefully. Sir Vincelot then launched the chains the newly generated morning star against a wall pass Commander Zeon and smashed the steel spike ball into the wall, essentially using his weapon as a grappling device. He then retracted the chains of his morning star's hilt, which pulled him and Dr. Danny to the wall. Danny thanked him, "Thanks." Meanwhile, Commander Zeon, who's near against the wall in the pit, is stabbing his Sorudo Zakeruga against the wall to slow him, then jumped on his electric sword with a backflip kick off the wall, though he could feel the pain in his right leg from the poison. In the acid pit, the Orochi heads said fiercely, "Don't think any of you are getting out alive. Dokugiri _{[毒霧, "Poison Mist"]}!" Orochi emitted poisonous corrosive fumes from their mouths to create a poisonous mist within the pit. Not only Orochi is hidden within the poisonous mist but the mist is rising and if it touches someone, it will corrode their skin or, if they inhale the fumes, it will poison them. Commander Zeon said, "Everyone, move," and jumped off his electric sword spell that's stuck to the wall and out of the pit before it disappeared. Though, Sir Vincelot and Dr. Danny are in a tricky situation with Sir Vincelot asking, "Now what?"

Suddenly, through the mist, the Orochi heads randomly shot more jets of poisonous acid from their mouth, hoping to hit their preys. While hanging for his life, Dr. Danny was getting annoyed by the poison in his right leg used anti-venom magic to get rid of the poison in his right leg and incanted, "Jioruku!" to heal himself. Sir Vincelot said to him, "Climb up. Go heal the Commander." Dr. Danny nodded and while he was holding onto the blade of Sir Vincelot's sword, he ran up the rocky wall, jumped, and kicked off of Sir Vincelot's sword as he used it as a platform. As Sir Vincelot was climbing up himself, acid randomly landed on the chain of his morning star and broke again. Sir Vincelot was falling towards his death into the deadly mist, he tried grappling onto the rock wall again with another spike ball, "Eijasu Garon!" but the attack didn't go through the wall hard enough and Sir Vincelot fell in despair. Awaiting his potential death, he thought to himself while closing his eyes, is this it? Is this the way I'm going to die? However, someone appeared and decided to save him, which was the ex-terrorist Zega. Zega teleported in there and teleported Sir Vincelot out along with himself before the poisonous gas reached them. On land, Sir Vincelot opened his eyes and said, "I-I'm alive?" Dr. Danny healed the poison in Commander Zeon's leg and Commander Zeon asked Zega, "What are you doing?" Zega looked impatient but serious, "Is that how you should treat someone who saved your comrade? Why haven't you destroyed it yet? I'm waiting and don't make me do it for you." He then teleported back to the spot where he was previously waiting. Commander Zeon yelled, "Hey!" Sir Vincelot looked irritated but felt agonized, "Why? Why am I still alive?! Why am I not dead?" He is emotionally unstable, especially for the things that recently happened. Commander Zeon said, "You are a soldier. Keep it together, man." Dr. Danny asked, "Are you alright, Vincelot-kyō?" Sir Vincelot shook it off without saying anything else, but he wanted to complain even more.

A moment later, Orochi yelled from beneath from the ground, "Sansei Ame! _{[酸性雨, "Acid Rain"]} Lots of corrosive, toxic acid sprayed very high up in the air from the pit of acid and showered on the ground from above. Dr. Danny yelled at Sir Vincelot, "Vincelot-kyō, move!" The three ran away from drops of acid and as the acid rain reached Sir Vincelot, his armor was breaking and he was felt his skin stinging, "Kaah!" Dr. Danny turned back and yelled, "Vincelot-kyō!" and ran for him. Commander Zeon looked back and yelled at them, worried, "Oi, Danny, Vincelot?!" Danny covered Sir Vincelot while incanting, "Jioruku!" to heal his own body while he's taking the hit of the acid. Sir Vincelot reacted, "Doc?" Dr. Danny responded, "I got you, buddy." Sir Vincelot said, feeling agonized, "Why? Why me? Just leave me here! I should have died here along with my dead comrades." Dr. Danny said while still taking drops over Sir Vincelot, "Don't worry about me. I'm the toughest doctor. This... is nothing... Listen Vincelot-kyō... The things you went through, the things you saw. I have seen stuff like that... in my life when I joined the Medic Division. Urgh!" Commander Zeon got out of range and yelled, "Danny!" Dr. Danny continued healing himself while taking acid rain to the back, but he continued his speech, "You can't keep thinking about the past. The other Royal Knights don't want to see you like this. You're better than this. They want you to live." The acid rain stopped and Sir Vincelot got a bit emotional. There were small bits of acidic gas coming from Dr. Danny's back. Hit lab coat is ruined but he's still feeling strong.

Suddenly, the ground quaked again as Orochi was digging back up to the level of the mountain and yelled, "These worms are persistent! Why won't you die already?!" Commander Zeon said with irritation too, "I had enough of this. Teozakeru!" He electrocuted Orochi with a continuous wide stream of light blue electricity all over Orochi's body with his hands. An Orochi head said, "Why you—," turned its head around slowly, fighting the electricity and shouted, "Sanhō!" Shooting corrosive acid from its mouth at Zeon. Zeon dodged it and yelled at his comrades while continuously holding down Teozakeru, "What are you two waiting for?" Dr. Danny said, "I'll distract the heads and you slice them off!" Sir Vincelot, mentally feeling normal again, nodded and Dr. Danny ran after Orochi. The Orochi heads were having a hard time moving their heads as they are being held down by Teozakeru, but they also casted, "Sanhō!" shooting acid at Dr. Danny as Danny was dodging them while running and jumping around to get all of the eight heads of Orochi up. While Dr. Danny was high up in the air by jumping off of other cliffs of the mountain above, he signaled Sir Vincelot, "Now!" Sir Vincelot, at a distance, incanted, "Godima Sorudo! Sorusen!" With his knight sword focused at his waste, he empowered it with sharp energy and released a large energy blade, slicing at least five heads of Orochi at once while giving a sliver to a neck of Orochi adjacent to the decapitated heads. As Commander Zeon released his electric spell, Dr. Danny focused demon energy to his right fist while giving a battle shout, "Haaaaaaargh!" and smashed through Orochi's metallic body with his right powerful fist. Danny possesses incredible strength as the force and shockwave of his fist caused Orochi's body to explode with acid flying out but Dr. Danny jumped off of Orochi before that happened. With the battle over, the final layer of Dr. Zulu's force field that's protecting Neo Zecross' fortress disappeared.
[/End of battle music]

After the battle, Commander Zeon said with an irritated look, "Tch! All this trouble. This battle could have gone much better. Should have destroyed it from the get–go. Why did I try to be like my nephew and study the enemy, even for a mere robot? Can't believe I did that. Oi Zega, where are you?" Zega was no longer to be found. As soon as he seen the last layer of the force field in the distance dropping, he immediately took off and teleported to the fortress. Commander Zeon said in frustration, "I knew we couldn't trust him!" Guess Zega isn't as honest as he says but at least he saved a hero's life. But Zega was getting impatient since this was the last Dembot Guardian alive at the time and he was waiting for this final layer to drop. Though Zega would apologize if he could for ditching the others but he's too focused on stopping his godly younger brother.

Scene: Main Battlefield and near Neo Zecross' fortress (nighttime)

Near Neo Zecross' fortress, as the barrier layers were deactivating, Ninja Captain Kyanchome said, "Another came down." Moments later, Ninja Vice Captain Pancho said, "They did it." Ninja Captain Kyanchome said, "Alright, now let's—Huh?! Zega?!" Zega teleported in front of the fortress entrance and immediately flew inside the fortress.

Meanwhile, "Aaaaaaarrr! Oof!" As Prince Raiden Bell was fighting Neo Zecross in his Level 3 Rai'oh Armor, he fell fast to the ground as he was hit by some attack. His Level 3 Rai'oh Armor shattered and he was bleeding everywhere with lots of injuries. His parents and aunt yelled in worrisome, "Raiden(-chan)!" Princess Koruru used her Shin Raifojio to make sure he stays alive, as well as for the soldiers that are still alive and fighting, though some soldiers—both demon and angel—were killed when Princess Koruru couldn't get to them to protect them with her spell. On the ground, as Raiden watched the battle between Neo Zecross and Paradise King Jupiter (King Jupiter appears to be losing the battle), he tried getting up but couldn't move it body, saying, "Darn... He's way too strong and just... one attack. Ouch!" He then thought to himself, feeling despair, what can I do? My normal spells don't work on him... My Level 3 Rai'oh Armor broke... I don't have enough energy to cast another Rai'oh Zakeruga, Rioru Rai'oh Zakeruga, or transform. Is there anything else I can do with this power? Suddenly, a beast-like voice said into his head, are you really giving up, boy?Raiden wondered, "Who's that?" The voice said in his mind, Really boy? Take a wild guess. Raiden then realized, Rai'oh? It's indeed his inner dragon. Rai'oh said in his mind, first time we spoke. I woke up and the first thing I see is you getting wrecked out there. Can you even handle my power? Raiden yelled in his mind, of course, but umm... how are you speaking to me? Rai'oh said, ever since my master powered me up, the seal became... looser. You should be able to utilize more of my power than that and here you are, flat on the ground, whimpering in despair. Raiden said in his mind, heh, well, how do I do that? Rai'oh replied, you little scrub. Heh! First, you must summon me. Raiden was surprised, wait, I can do that? How?

It seems there's hope left for Raiden to take out the overpowered Supreme God of Darkness. What kind of hidden powers does Raiden possess and can he actually summon the dragon from within?
