16: The Planet Destroyer. Super Nova!

Nova and the super sayan Mason started their fight for the claim to the crystals and for their survival.

Mason attacked aggressively, as if every punch was his last, still angry over the death of his brother. After all that, Renegade was finally lifted of his curse. And now he's dead. But at least…his soul can rest in peace.

Nova remained calm and kept his composure in dodging and blocking the super sayan's punches. Doosh doosh doosh!

Blaze and Zelfire cheered for Mason as he beat up their enemy.

Blaze: "Yeah that's right!"

Zelfire: "Get him Mason! Yeah! Show him what you've got!"

(This is for you, brother.) Pow! He punched Nova's face many times and knocked him into a cracked wall.

Nova got pissed off. "You will all die…"

Zelfire: "What's the matter? Too much for you?"

Nova: "You will die no matter what. I will blow up this whole planet if I have to."

Zelfire: "Did you get hit too hard or something?"

Mason: "Blow up the whole planet?"

Blaze suddenly froze from fear. "Blow up the planet? Can he be…"

Zelfire: "What is it?"

Blaze: "Can he be that Nova?"

Zelfire: "What?"

Blaze: "It's true...he's telling the truth."

Mason: "What do you mean?"

Blaze stared at Nova without blinking. "I thought it was just a coincidence. But he is that Nova…the Planet Destroyer."

Zelfire: "Planet Destroyer?"

Blaze: "The legend says that Nova was one of the most powerful beings that ever existed in this universe. He wanders from planet to planet, blowing them up one by one. That is why only a few know about him, since all the rest died along with their planet. He is practically a God. But I never thought such an entity actually existed..."

Nova, laughing, threw the large ball of energy at the city. The aliens panicked and ran for their lives. But there was no where to run. Fire was everywhere. The ground cracked apart and flames of fire erupted. The planet exploded, leaving not a single survivor. Kabam!

Zelfire: "That's unbelievable."

Mason: "It can't be true. This person standing in front of me, he has the power to destroy planets?"

Nova still had a blank expression on his face.

Blaze: "But the question is how did he come the Dark Empire? Why is he taking orders from Dark Spectre?"

Nova flashed back.

Nova went on a rampage, destroying one planet after the next. But he was so out of control that he was destroyed in the process as well. He was trapped in another dimension. For years, even centuries, he drifted patiently in darkness.

Suddenly, dark energy appeared. And a figure in the form of a man appeared.

"You're the legendary Planet Destroyer, Nova, are you not?"

"Who are you?" Nova asked, crossing his arms.

"That is not important. But I have an offer for you. I can free you from this dimension, so then you can destroy planets once again. But in return, I want you to work for me."

"I do not work for anybody."

"So you'd rather spend an eternity here? All I'm asking is that you listen to me. You can still blow up planets, but only the planets which I choose. How about it?"

"Fine." Nova said, with the same monotonous tone.

Nova attacked Mason, who counter-punched him in the chest. Doosh. Nova was slammed against the wall, and his chest was smoking. Now he was agitated. "You…will…perish!"

Blaze started to sweat. At first, he was happy that Mason's going to win. But now, he's not so sure. They're practically fighting a God.

Meanwhile, Dark Spectre was watching them some where within the city. "Soldiers!" His Dark soldiers lined up perfectly and awaited his commands. "Now that the rebels are fighting, the crystals are left unguarded. There should be two of them. Go and find them. Don't you dare come back without them!"

All Dark soldiers: "Yes Lord Dark!" They quickly left Dark's presence and began the search for the crystals.

"Looks like the finale is about to begin...soon victory will be mine, and a new chapter in history will be written, the age of Dark Spectre! The age where there will be no more sayans and no more rebels!"

"You will…die. Super Nova!" Nova ascended up and charged energy to form the Super Nova.

Blaze: "No…he's doing it! Mason!!"

Zelfire: "Such an enormous amount of energy! I've never seen something so big!"

The big blue ball grew bigger and bigger. They couldn't even measure it at this point.

Mason: "This is…the Super Nova?"

The energy got bigger and more powerful every second. The ground started to shake a little and soon the whole city began to shake.

Zelfire: "No way…this energy will destroy Guardian Planet? Is he really the Planet Destroyer?"

Blaze: "Mason, what are you waiting for?! Stop him before he wipes out this planet from existence!" Blaze yelled.

"No. I'll let him finish charging energy."

"Are you out of your mind?!" Zelfire said.

Mason: "I don't believe in such a thing as a God. I'll show him that I can still beat him with my current power."

Zelfire: "He's gathering energy from the planet!"

Blaze: "So that's where he gets all that energy from. Mason, don't just stand there! He's almost finished charging the Super Nova!"

At this point, Mason powered up, and his hair flashed gold.

Nova. "It's almost done."

The planet's surface was shaking even more violently, and little sparkles of energy slowly but surely were gathered and concentrated into Nova. The power of the bomb was so huge that the air around it trembled at the presence of the Super Nova. Now the whole planet, and every single living thing on it, big or small could feel the energy leaving and concentrating into one spot, in the center of the Lost City.

Nova screamed and moaned from the pain and burden of carrying the ball.

Zelfire: "Mason! Kill him now while you can! Hurry up! You don't want us to die, do you?"

Suddenly, Mason blurred and flew up towards Nova.

Nova: "Let's see you block this one." He threw the giant flashing ball at him, and Mason stopped.

"Mason! It's coming at you!"

Mason waited for it to get close enough...then ZOOM! He flew straight at the ball, from afar he looked like an ant compared to its huge size. He penetrated it and his body went right through it!

Nova: "What?!"

He popped out of the other side and the ball exploded. A bright flash lit up the sky and the explosion blasted away everything close to it. Zelfire and Blaze had tohang on to something to prevent getting blown away. Mason fired the Wrath Beam and sent Nova to the world of ashes. Everything was as bright as the sun and nothing can be seen for the next few minutes. Finally, things calmed down and almost everything returned to normal, except for the buildings and monuments destroyed by the Super Nova. Although they were hit pretty hard, they were lucky it didn't hit the planet itself.

Zelfire: "...Uuuhhh...where is every body?" He spotted Mason standing on a building, unharmed, and back to his normal state.

Blaze pushed away the pile of rocks on him and got up on his feet.

Mason: "Don't worry anymore, I took care of him."

Zelfire: "You sure did! That was awesome!"

Blaze: "Mason, that was simply amazing. You surprised even me."

Mason laughed stupidly. "I was surprised myself. I didn't think that would happen."

Zelfire: "So the Planet Destroyer is no more, eh?"

Suddenly, all three of them felt a dark force approaching them. "It's-it's-"

Zelfire: "Dark Spectre!"

Blaze: "He's here at last."

Dark descended on the ground and examined the area. "You have destroyed Nova. Very impressive. Now it's my turn to destroy you."

At last, the heroes get the chance to fight the ultimate being, the ruler of the Dark Empire.
