 Announcer: "Ladies and gentlemen! The final match will now begin. Travis and Andre, please go to the ring for the final battle!"
Travis immediately teleported into the ring as Andre began walking towards it. The audience started to cheer as they couldn't hold back their excitement for the final fight. Once Andre (his focus was even more intense, especially after watching what Travis had done) got in the ring, the referee rang the bell, and the final battle of the youth tournament began. Andre stood in his Dambe and Engolo fighting stance, as Travis stood in his Jeet Kune Do stance. The two warriors began clashing with their different styles, as Andre was more aggressive, trying to land two major hits on Travis, but missing each time as Travis created space between them. Travis landed a double palm strike on Andre and followed up with a swift knee strike that forced Andre to the ground. Travis tries to give Andre another kick; however, Andre catches his foot and pushes Travis backward.
Andre and Travis begin trading attacks at one another as they counter each other's attacks before both warriors land a punch to the other's face. The two warriors jump backward as the audience begins cheering. The two warriors begin to circle each other before getting tied up against each other, with both warriors trying to gain leverage over the other. Travis headbutts Andre before kneeing him in the stomach, but before he can try to do another attack, Andre punches him in the stomach and delivers a swift kick that sends Travis flying back a couple of feet. Travis would rush back toward Andre, who used his speed to get behind Travis to grab him by the waist and lift him above his head to deliver a German suplex. The move kept Travis grounded for a long five-second count before getting back on his feet. Travis Rai begins to rise with Andre, doing the same as the announcer, saying, "I guess they are done warming up. The real fight is about to begin!" Travis begins to unleash a barrage of Energy Blasts at Andre, who dodges each before going behind Travis again for another suplex. Travis elbowed Andre in the face, then delivered a suplex that kept Andre grounded for five seconds before returning to his feet.
Travis rushes in to deliver multiple punches to Andre's body that completely stun Andre, then finishes it with a Flame Energy Blast. The blast knocks Andre out of the ring as the referee begins counting to ten while Travis stares. By the count of eight, Andre stood up to break the count and quickly teleported back into the ring. Travis rushed to deliver more hits, but Andre caught both of Travis's hands and gave him a headbutt that pushed Travis back. Andre used a Lightning Punch that stunned Travis and a Lightning Kick that knocked Travis out of the ring. Andre jumped towards Travis to grab him by his leg; however, Travis played possum and threw some sand into Andre's eyes. Travis kicked Andre into the air before teleporting with him, then gave Andre a massive double ax handle, which crashed into the ground. Travis unleashes a Fire Blast at Andre, who can get out of the way, while Travis begins shooting Fireballs at Andre. Andre uses a shield to block the attack as Travis continues, trying to break through it. Andre teleports with the shield and throws it at Travis, who dodges the attack, except that Andre is in front of Travis with a Lightning Blast ready to unleash.
Travis tries to block the attack, yet the blast is too much, sending him flying across the ring and into a wall. The referee began his count, but Travis was back on his feet by the count of seven. Andre was ready to end the fight as he charged up his Rai in one hand while Travis continued walking towards the ring. Once Travis was back in the ring, Andre unleashed his Full Power Lightning Burst Stream (mountain level of destruction), which took Travis out of the ring and crashed through the building where the competitors were standing. The building begins to collapse, which forces multiple paramedics to rush over and move the building pieces to check on him. The referee never started the count, as he wanted to ensure that Travis was still breathing after the last attack. Andre begins to worry, so he decides to get out of the ring and walk over to the damage he caused. One of the paramedics was sent flying from the collapsed area, and another one was sent flying. Andre stops in his tracks as he feels Travis Rai rising to new heights than ever before. Travis had one of the paramedics by the throat as he revealed to everyone that he had chaos eyes. Andre was shocked to see those eyes as Travis crushed the paramedic's throat and began walking toward Andre. Andre (for the first time, felt a bit of fear) teleported back into the ring and locked in his chaos eyes as Travis returned.
Travis: "As you can see, I also have the chaos eyes."
Andre: "You didn't have to kill the paramedics; they're trying to help you."
Travis: "Hahahahahahaha, I'm a chaos warrior! No one can help me but you. I need your blood, no....... I NEED YOUR SOUL. Once I get your soul, I will take my spot as the god of this universe."
Andre felt his breath hitch for the first time since his chaos eyes awakened. The look in Travis' eyes was beyond reason—beyond even battle lust. This was something else. A hunger that burned deep, unshaken by pain or purpose. A monster wearing the skin of a warrior.
Andre: "(Am I the same? The thought nearly froze him. No... I won't become him. I can't. I will stop him here.) TRAVIS!!! I will put you out of your misery to ensure the safety of this world!"
The other warriors couldn't believe what Travis had done and talked among themselves.
Luna: "Why would the nation leaders allow this fight to continue?! He killed an innocent bystander!"
John: "I'm not certain; I believe they don't interfere unless it's important."
Jaclyn: "Is killing not important?!!"
Theodore: "They are trying to see if Andre has the power to finish him off. If he does, they'll allow Andre to do that. If he does not, the nation leaders will corner Travis to find out who he is and where he came from. This is risky, but they must know more than we do."
The two warriors began to clash once again. Still, their collision sent shockwaves throughout the arena, leaving the nation's leaders nervous, as they weren't sure whether the audience was in danger. Exzavior reassures the leaders that the audience is safe as Andre pushes Travis backward and unleashes a Lightning Cannon at Travis, who blocks the attack. Travis used a Hurricane Blast towards Andre, who teleported out of the way but got in a lock-up with Travis. The two warriors stared at each other before trading headbutts until they separated from one another. Travis began throwing Rai Grenades at Andre, who dodged each one until he unleashed a Lightning Dragon at Travis, who countered with a Fire Dragon. The attacks clashed and exploded, knocking both warriors out of the ring. The referee began counting until he noticed both warriors getting on their feet by the count of nine. Travis was on one knee and looked over at Andre, who had stood entirely up, which made Travis do the same.
Jaclyn: "How long do you think they can keep going like this?"
Luna: "I have no idea. Those attacks had to use up a lot of Rai and stamina, but they might go past that to get the win."
Andre begins running towards Travis, who begins throwing Rai Blasts at Andre, who dodges each one of them before looking to land a punch on Travis. Travis dodged the attack and swept Andre's feet, who countered with a Rai Blast that hit Travis and sent him back before he hit the ground. Andre had also hit the ground hard while the referee began counting again. The two warriors struggled to get up at the eight-count, prompting the referee to stop his count.
Ricky: "We are down to the final minutes of this battle. They are almost out of Rai and stamina."
Helga: "You're right. I wonder who exactly will win this fight."
The two warriors returned to their feet, but their chaos eyes reverted to normal. Andre began charging an attack, as did Travis.
Travis in his thoughts: (How can someone match me for every attack? Andre....... You're more of a headache than I could ever dream of. I won't allow you to defeat me.)
Andre: "Travis......... This is it. My final move will end this fight once and for all!"
Travis: "Then show me your power, Andre!"
Travis' Rai crackled like a raging inferno, his Rai: Exploding Dragon Burst surging outward, threatening to incinerate the battlefield. Andre braced himself, the sky answering his call as thunder rumbled above. His arm, now a conduit of divine fury, glowed with the raw essence of Rai: Lightning Fist of Thor. This was it, one strike to determine the victor.
The attacks were out of control, prompting Exzavior and the nation's leaders to begin evacuations. The nation's leaders told every warrior there to help clear the building as fast as possible while the two chaos warriors continued. The audience became confused, scared, and excited until the announcer instructed them to evacuate quickly. Andre and Travis didn't give up the fight as warriors quickly teleported people out of the distant building.
Andre: "(I can't give up. Travis be must stop. No matter what the cost is.)"
The building crumbled around Andre and Travis, but neither moved a muscle, as whoever lost focus first would be killed. Ricky was getting ready to separate the two warriors, but the clash exploded and sent both warriors three hundred feet away. Ricky caught Andre so he wouldn't crash as John, Marcus, TJ, Luna, and Jaclyn went to ensure he was okay.
Jaclyn: "Hey, now, you need to wake up."
Marcus: "I'll heal him."
As Marcus begins healing him, Ricky feels a powerful Rai approaching. He stands up but quickly notices Helga, Levi, and Isaac standing beside him.
Ricky: "Where are Josiah, Carl, and Exzavior?"
Levi: "Josiah and Carl went to attend to their people as they felt the same Rai. Exzavior ensured everyone returned home."
Helga: "I don't know who is coming, but we decided not to leave you all behind, just in case something happens."
Ricky: "Thank you for your assistance, but now we need to focus on who is coming our way."
As the four-nation leaders waited, they saw a shadow walking towards them. The man had a long sword, approximately 36 inches in length, black hair, and one white eye. He was around 6'2" and weighed 215 pounds, but was somewhat built. His presence felt strange as the nation's leaders watched him.
Ricky: "Wait right there. Who exactly are you?"
??: "It feels like I haven't been around this area in a long time. Eighty years fly by so fast."
Helga looks at Levi: "Did he say eighty years? Who exactly is he?"
Levi: "I'm not too sure."
Ricky: "I'll ask you again: who are you, and why are you here?"
??: "My name is Judah."
Ricky: "Why are you here?"
Judah: "I felt the power of two chaos warriors going at it. Once I arrived, I noticed the energy clash and became excited, which revealed my Rai. I'll fix that by getting rid of you all."
Judah's Rai began to rise. They felt he could destroy the planet in one shot, which made the nation's leaders nervous until Exzavior returned and faced Judah.
Exzavior: "I see that you're still alive, Judah. If you think of fighting, I'll be forced to fight you myself."
Judah: "Exzavior. I thought I felt your Rai earlier. You should know the youth-magic power that keeps your body young as you get older. I know you did the same thing."
Exzavior: "Why exactly are you here?"
Judah: "I got big plans, so I'll leave for now, but I will return."
Judah would teleport out of everyone's sight, with no sign of his Rai anywhere.
Exzavior: "Judah being around could only mean trouble, but at least he's gone now."
Ricky: "Who was he?"
Exzavior: "He's been around for a hundred years and likely more. One of the most powerful warriors I have ever fought. At this moment, though, is everyone alright?"
Levi: "Yeah, we are good, but Judah's Rai was out of this world."
Exzavior: "I'll tell you more about him. Everyone must return to their nation, as I must figure out what Judah's presence means."
Everyone left to return to their nation. Travis woke up in a cave he had never seen before, which made him feel uneasy.
??: "Relax, Travis, you're safe now."
Travis: "Mother, you're here!"
Travis' mother, Shay White, appeared, coming straight towards him as he finally sat up in the bed he was in. Shay White was approximately 5'10" with medium-length white hair. She has many scars on her body from all the fights she's been in, but it looks like she hasn't aged at all.
Shay: "My son, how do you feel?"
Travis: "I feel weak. I can barely sit up now."
Shay: "That's because you use Rai-based attacks instead of your normal ones."
Travis: "What's the difference between using my normal and Rai-based attacks?"
Shay: "Let me educate you. Get out of bed using any energy you have."
Travis looked confused as he tried to get out of bed. However, despite using his energy, he instantly realized that his body wasn't moving.
Shay: "You see that; you are drained from your fight. Once your Rai is depleted, you won't be able to do anything until five percent is available again. Don't worry; I'll ensure you are on my level."
Travis: "How strong is that supposed to be?"
Shay: "Let's say either the third level of the chaos eyes or destroying the moon!"
Travis: "WHAT!!!!!"
Shay: "I'll train you from now on. When I'm done with you, you'll be stronger than that, but Judah has returned. I'll talk to you later and get some rest; you won't be able to get out of bed for at least three to five days."
Shay left Travis' room and encountered Judah, who returned to the cave.
Shay: "Welcome back. How did it go?"
Judah: "It went exactly as I planned, minus Exzavior showing up."
Shay: "What happened once he showed up?"
Judah: "Basically a threat. My presence here makes him feel uneasy. With these nation leaders being around, it will be difficult for us later."
Shay: "That is true. What are you planning on doing now?"
Judah: "Time to visit my home and build towards our plans. You two can stay here if you'd like, but our plans will begin the next time we meet. Farewell, Shay White."
Shay watched as Judah left the cave and continued watching over Travis. A few days passed, and Andre finally awoke again. He had been in and out of sleep while trying to recover from the fight. He looked around to see where he was before noticing Marcus and John sleeping on two different couches.
Andre: "Hey........."
John: "Hey, you're up. How do you feel?"
Andre: "I feel better now than when I woke up. Have you all been here all night?"
Marcus: "More like a few days until you fully recover. Can you move?"
Andre starts moving his legs in bed, then pulls the covers back and jumps out. As Ricky walks into his room, he begins stretching.
Ricky: "Finally. I see you're finally able to move again. How do you feel?"
Andre: "I feel good now that I'm not stuck in bed anymore. What's been happening since I was out?"
Ricky: "Nothing much. Paperwork, missions, and taking care of the nation, among other things. I'm just glad you're good again."
Andre: "Me too. (Travis..... A powerful chaos warrior is willing to kill not only me, but everyone around is bad. I need to get stronger to stop him.) Oh........Where's Jaclyn and Luna?"
Ricky: "Well...... They returned to their original location. I tried to get them to stay, but they wouldn't, so I left early in the morning one day."
Andre: "Maybe I can convince them to stay in the Unlimited Nation instead."
Marcus: "What for? We don't know much about them, plus they might be working for another nation to spy on us and gather information."
Andre: "I don't think so. Didn't the nation bond after the tournament?"
Ricky: "No. I guarantee you that it will be the last time we are all together for something like that. The nation's leaders are not fond of each other due to their history. At one point, every nation was at war, which led to other small nations dying off."
Andre: "What happens if Jaclyn and Luna are a part of those small nations that die off because of us?"
Ricky: "Only they can decide what they want, and I can't force them to join us."
Andre: "......... I request that you allow me to speak to them about joining the nation. If I fail, I'll return and not speak about it again."
Ricky: "I knew you were going to say that eventually. I have already gathered some information about them; however, they could be anywhere, which would make your trip much more dangerous. Tomorrow, a warrior named Angelo will be free from his activities and will be able to lead you there. Big mission tomorrow; get some rest."
All four warriors went their separate ways as Andre, Marcus, and John prepared for tomorrow's primary mission.
