C.I.3: The Battle of the Mega Titan

Chapter 20. The Will to Fight

     Maladar decided that it was time to leave the Towers. He saw that Cyclone was getting better and that he didn't need the Tower's help anymore. "Are you ready?" Asked Maladar. "I guess so." Said Cyclone. They prepare to leave the Tower, when Cyclone suddenly had more questions about his weapons. "Hey wait a minute." He said. "What about the skeleton I found in the Pit Tower?" They begin to walk downstairs. "What about it?" Asked Maladar. "Could've that been your brother, Zebtha?" "No." Said Maladar rolling his eyes. "I've already told you. After Zeb died, I used the Gladiator against Zinteren. Although, AFTER the fight, the Gladiator was stolen from me by a thief. I guess he didn't find the best hide-out." "And the gun." Said Cyclone. "Since it can shape shift, can it repair itself under its owner's command?" "Correct." Said Maladar. Cyclone pauses. "Like Shannon and the Mainian!" He said wide-eyed." Maladar stops also and turns around with a surprised look. "Pardon me?" He asked. "Think about it!" Said Cyclone. "Shannon's power was the 'Red Glow', and Zinteren and Georgey's power was something just like it!" Even Maladar didn't know, but now he fully understood Cyclone's theory. " It may not be the same." He said. "But its close." "By the way." Cyclone continued. "It used to be a sword, now it's a gun. Why did he change it into that?" They continued down the stairs. Maladar plays with a snowball he formed with his powers by throwing it up and down and catching it. He finally answers Cyclone's question. "Since the invention of the gun, Zinteren had always been fascinated by it's design. So he chose a gun, and threw away the sword." "I guess that makes sense." Said Cyclone. "Well Zinteren wasn't always the brightest when it came to new weapons." Said Maladar. "Because now, a weapon that was once his, has become his weakness, because it is now in your possession." Cyclone holsters the pistol into his belt. "Sweet!" He said with a smile. The walk seemed like an eternity, but the two men eventually made it to the door of the tower. Maladar touches the enchanted door to give the Colossal Spirit it's blessing. "Thank you." He said before opening the door. They walk outside to find Courage City completely empty. "Where is everybody?" Asked Cyclone. The door of the Towers closes behind them. Just as it did, the C.I.Gang came out of a small old building. "They're back!" D.B said with happiness. "Cyclone!" Said Trixi. The entire gang surrounded the two happily knowing that they're okay. Trixi wrapped her wings around Cyclone. He couldn't help but smile. She let's him go and Warpaint gives him a salute. "You're a war hero kid!" He said. "You've got guts." Mic approaches Cyclone and Maladar. "Told ya we would wait no matter what." He said. "How ya doin kid?" Mic asked. "I'm okay." Said Cyclone. Suddenly, he notices Wolfe and Zara with them. "Who are they?" He asked. "This is Wolfe and Zara." Said Mic. "They helped us." Wolfe approaches him with his arms crossed. "I've heard a lot of cool things about you." He said. He sticks out his hand. "Its an honor to meet you kid." Cyclone hesitantly shakes Wolfe's hand. "So, what happened here?" Cyclone asked the Gang. They all look at one another. "We'll explain later." Said Mic. "We must go to the Basement. It's time to let everyone know that the boys are back in town."
