When I finally came too, all I heard were machine guns going off, and missiles firing out fo rocket launchers and mechas. A war was going off in New York. I sat up, holding the side of my head, until a marine touched my shoulder. "Sir! General Xeno and Lady Sarah could use your help!" The marine stated. "Xeno made a distress call five minutes ago, they're currently having trouble with the Souless named Paradox!" The marine explained. That's right... Leon thought to himself. That bastard knocked me out... I had to get to Paradox at all costs. I then stood up and dashed out of the base, going towards Sarah and Xeno's location...until I was stopped by a barricade occupied by a few marines, desperately trying to fight off a few Souless. I only sighed to myself as I sent an energy blast towards the Souless...and the energy exploded, taking them out. Then I continued on towards Sarah and Xeno's location...
After moments of running, I finally made it to Sarah, however, Paradox had her pinned up against the wall by her neck. "Such a shame..." Paradox said as he raised his hand. "We could've been a good team." Paradox stated, at that point, I didn't stay any longer. I dashed forward, breaking the sound barrier, literally...and finally slammed my fist into Paradox's face, sending him flying. Paradox slammed into the wall, gasping in pain. I only stood in front of Sarah, almost like I was protecting her...but in truth, I was there to kick Paradox's ass. Xeno coughed up a bit of blood as he summoned Lancelot back into his hand and stood next to me. "Took you long enough..." Xeno said, glaring at Paradox. Sarah stood up, standing next to me as she picked up her blade as well. Paradox stood up straight, glaring at me...but it didn't last long. I dashed after Paradox, with Xeno and Sarah not too far behind me. Paradox smirked as he sent one of his spheres at me, but Xeno jumped in front of me and bashed the sphere away. I used that time to actually inflict some damage on Paradox. I dashed passed Xeno and slammed my fist into Paradox's gut, then I sent a blast of energy through his gut, sending him flying. That wasn't it though. Sarah then used the wind to fly over to Paradox and slammed her blade into Paradox's waist, slamming him into the ground. Paradox gasped in pain as he glared up at Sarah. Paradox then jumped up and sent all four his spheres at us. Xeno and Sarah were able to bash the spheres away, but I simply dashed away from the spheres, going towards Paradox. I grabbed Paradox's shoulder and sent him flying into his own sphere, then sent an energy blast into his back, sending him spiraling into a tree, which caused his spheres to vanish. Xeno glanced at Paradox as Sarah stood protectively. Paradox forced himself to stand as he glared at Leon, but that glare quickly turned into a smirk. "It's truly a shame." Paradox claimed, shrugging off the damage we dealt. "We could've used you longer." Paradox said as he chuckled. I simply glared at Paradox, but part of me was confused. "Didn't you know?" Paradox asked. "Kira sent us here to kill you...boy." Paradox admitted. Sarah's eyes widened largely, but I simply stared at Paradox. I knew it... I silently thought. "You actually fell for his story..." Paradox said as he began laughing. "Either way...you played your part." Paradox said, smirking...I began to tremble...not with fear...but rage. I glared at Paradox as everything slowly began to fade to black...I lost control....

Sarah and Xeno stared in shock at Leon as infinite darkness began to pour out of Leon's body, as Leon's own eyes turned golden. "...You die here..." Leon said in a demonic like voice. Paradox only chuckled as he smirked at Leon, his own eyes slits. "Oh...did I hit a nerve?" Paradox asked...but before Paradox could make a move, Leon disappeared, then reappeared in front of Paradox. Xeno's eyes widened at the fact. Teleportation...?! Xeno thought, obviously in shock. Paradox's eyes widened slightly at Leon's ability. Leon then slammed his fist down into Paradox's face, sending him flying, but Paradox quickly recovered, and summoned two of his spheres. "You little--!" But before Paradox could finish his sentence, Leon slammed his foot into Paradox's face, sending him spiraling into the air. Then Leon disappeared and reappeared behind Paradox, grabbing him and holding him into a tight grip...and finally dived down towards the ground, spinning uncontrollably, almost like a tornado. He then slammed Paradox into the ground, then kicked him away as doing a back flip, landing on his feet. Paradox gasped in pain as he quickly recovered....only to meet Leon's fist again, which sent him flying...but Leon wasn't done with Paradox. Leon disappeared, then reappeared behind Paradox, grabbing him by his neck, then sent three energy blasts straight into Paradox's back, then sent him flying into the air...and sent one last energy blast into Paradox's body, following with one more attack. Leon aimed his left hand at Paradox, who now was pummeling towards the Earth once more. "Dragon's..." Leon softly said. "...Requiem!" Leon screamed as a small, black sphere slowly formed in Leon's hand as lightning sparked around his body...and a colossal blast shot out of Leon's hand, which immediately consumed Paradox's body. When the dust cleared, Paradox slammed into the ground, his eyes widening in pain, coughing up blood. Normally, that would've killed anyone, but due to Paradox being one of the more powerful Souless, he didn't die...but he was close to being dead. Paradox forced himself to his feet, glaring at Leon. "Leon Taylor..." Paradox snarled as he stumbled back, as black clouds formed around his body. "....This will not be the last time we meet again..." And just like that...Paradox disappeared. Leon had won the battle. The other Souless were currently retreating, due to the defeat of their master.
