Lance wakes up, he finds himself lying near a stream, and he could see a lushious forest up ahead of him. Then he notices that someone was sitting next to him, he rolls away from the person, not knowing if they were friend or foe.
As he looks at the person, he sees nothing but a strange boy who sat next to a fire, roasting some fishes. The boy had pure white skin and silver hair, he wore a robe and his eyes were inky black.
Lance Grey: Who is this boy, he doesn't look human, and yet I don't think he's a demon either. (Lance thought to himself, just staring at the boy)
"What are you doing here? Are you lost? (The boy asked calmly, continuing to roast his fishes)
Lance Grey: I don't think I'm lost... Am I? (Lance asks in confusion)
"You're not supposed to be here, nobody is supposed here... So why are you? (The boy asks him)
Lance thinks about this for a moment, trying piece together his fuzzy memories, then he remembers something, and speaks.
Lance Grey: I was fighting someone, someone very strong, he killed my new friends, then he was about to kill me. (Lance tells the boy with tears in his eyes, remembering every painful moment)
"Hmm, sounds like you've made an enemy. You should probably kill him. (The boy tells him casually)
Lance Grey: Kill him?....Even if I wanted to, there's no way I could kill him, he was just too fast, and way too powerful. (Lance tells him with sadness in his voice)
"Everyone has the power to take a life, some do it everyday without even realising it. (The boy tells him before taking a fish away from the fire)... If someone has caused you great pain, its only logical for you to end their life, It's what I would do. (The boy explains calmly)
Lance Grey: End his life, I don't have the power to do so. (Lance says as his eyes begins to glow red, his breathing becoming very heavy)
"Don't be silly, you have all the power in the world. (The boy tells him ominously)
Back at the real world, Crash looms over the body of Dark Lance, ready to decapitate him with his swords.
Crash: What a great fight, what better way to end it than a decapitation! (Crash yells as he swings his swords, but they bounce off Lance's body on impact)
Dark Lance suddenly grabbed Crash by the throat and squeezed with all his might, his eyes burning red as he stares at Crash with murderous intent.
Crash: Let go of me!!!! (Crash yells as he strikes Lance with the hilt of his swords, but he is unfazed)
Dark Lance: Kill!!!! (Dark Lance roars before slamming Crash down into the ground)
Crash struggled to breathe because Dark Lance still had his hand wrapped tightly around his throat. As Crash continues to squirm, Dark Lance's body begins to change, his dark skin growing darker, his claws and fangs growing sharper, and his hair becoming longer.
Crash: What the hell are you? (Crash struggles to ask)
Dark Lance roars as he picks Crash up and threw him aggressively into several trees, destroying them with ease.
Crash: Owww... If that's how you want to play, Let's dance pretty boy! (Crash yelled as he summoned his swords and flew towards Dark Lance at blinding speeds)
Meanwhile, Huntress finds herself in a dark world, filled with nothing but endless darkness, then she notices Hyena in the distance.
Huntress: Voltimara, where are we? What is this place? (Huntress asks curiously)
Hyena: This is a place where many have died, this is the Territory Of Midnight. (Hyena tells her)
Huntress: This place is Midnight's Territory?! I've never been here before. (Huntress said as she looks around in wonder)
Hyena: Understandable. Only those who are about to be killed by a Great Demon, are taken to the Demon's Territory. It is a realm where a Great Demon's power reigns supreme. (Hyena explains to her)
Outer Demon Territory, and Inner Demon Territory. These are the two ways Great Demons make use of their incredible power. The Outer Demon Territory techniques draw power from another dimension, and enables the Great Demon to use that power in the real world. Inner Demon Territories however, can bring your opponent to your realm, where your powers are at their strongest, then you can crush them.
Huntress: You sound like you've experienced it firsthand. (Huntress replies)
Hyena: Not at all, I was only present when Midnight used his territory to wipe out an army of men. In an instant they were all gone and appeared here, somehow I was brought here as well, and watched as the army was swallowed up by his darkness. (Hyena explains to her)
Huntress: You were able witnessed such an event? You are extremely lucky. (Huntress tells him jealously)
Hyena: I didn't feel lucky, I was absolutely terrified. I thought for a moment that I would be swallowed by the darkness, just like those unfortunate souls were.
Huntress: Why do you think we are we here?I doubt Lance could use Demon Territory techniques, even if he wanted to.
Hyena: Oh he can. Our first meeting was in here actually. (Hyena reveals to her)
Huntress: Lance can use his Demon Territory?! If that is true, then he should be on par with the Great Demons! (Huntress yells in surprise)
Hyena: He should be, but for now he's only able to use less than a fraction of the power that's here. Take his dark cloud for example, that's power from this realm. (Hyena reveals)
Huntress: You just keep surprising me with your words, Voltimara. I pray that our Master is safe, wherever he may be. (Huntress wishes)
Back at the fight between Crash and Dark Lance, Crash has landed several devasting attacks on the Dark Lance, but he heals from every deadly blow.
Crash: Are you immortal or something? Just die already! (Crash yells as he attacks Lance so fast that he appears to be at multiple places at once, all while slashing relentlessly)
Dark Lance withstands every single attack, and continues chanting the same word. Not stopping for even a second.
Dark Lance: Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! (Dark Lance chants menacingly)
Crash: Wow, you appear to have gone basic. All your thoughts, all your actions, are now driven by a single purpose, to kill me. (Laughs) I'm actually flattered, I've never had someone obsess over me, It feels nice. But, you're never going to kill me, you can't even catch me. (Crash tells Dark Lance mockingly)
Dark Lance stops his chanting, and raises his hand to point his clawed finger at Crash.
Dark Lance: Dark Marauders! (Dark Lance stated before six clones of himself suddenly appeared before him, waiting for instruction)
Crash: What is this? (Crash asks in surprise)
Dark Lance: Kill him. (Dark Lance ordered, the Marauders charging at Crash like a pack of wild animals)
Crash manages to slash one of the Marauders, but another punches him in the face, knocking him back.
Crash: Dammit, they're just as strong as the original, this is insane! (Crash saody as he flies away from the Dark Marauders)
The Marauders continue chasing after Crash, they're not as fast as he is, but they don't stray far behind him either. Crash finally gets some distance between him and the clones, preparing for a counterattack.
Crash: Curse that monster! I swear I'll kill it! (Crash thought to himself)
The Marauders finally catch up to Crash, rushing towards him fiercely. About to reach him.
Crash: Come meet your death! Demon Territory, Crash Course! (Crash said as he uses a Demon Territory technique, moving forward so fast that he kills every single Marauders in almost an instant)... Now for the boss! (Crash said before moving fast once again, instantly appearing at Dark Lance's location, cutting him in half swiftly)
Dark Lance has been cut in half by Crash's blade, but the injury heals before blood even has a chance to spray.
Crash: Had Enough?! (Crash asks with a menacing smile on his face)
Dark Lance: Dark Marauders!!! (Dark Lance bellows, and many more Marauders appear by his side)
Crash: This again? Crash Course! (Crash yells as he makes use his territory once again, but this time his blade decimates both the Marauders and the real Dark Lance, their bodies reduced to nothing but mincemeat)... Finally! (Crash said with relief)
"Kill! Kill! Kill! (Dark Lance roared, his destroyed body reforming as he spoke)
Crash: Come on! Why won't you die?! (Crash yells in frustration)
Dark Lance says nothing more, he smashes his fist into the ground and a raging surge of energy rockets across the floor like a buzz saw, but Crash manages to dodge it.
Dark Lance: Poison! (Dark Lance yells as he releases the poison cloud, and the forest is nearly engulfed by it)
Crash: (Coughs) Poison?! (Crash asks as he begins to cough severely from inhaling the poisonous cloud)
As Crash continues coughing violently, several Marauders grab onto him from behind, wrestling him to the ground and beginning to pound on him relentlessly.
Crash: Get away from me you beasts!!! (Crash yelled in anger, slashing the Marauders to pieces)
Suddenly a hand grabs Crash by the mouth, slamming him into the ground with devasting force.
Dark Lance: Poison! (Dark Lance yells as he forces Crash to swallow a torrent of the Poison Cloud)
Crash: I... I can't move, and my vision is blurry, his poison has left me completely paralyzed. (Crash thought to himself, now afraid for the first time in this fight)
Dark Lance then begins to beat into Crash's body, each punch fueled by hate and anger. And when the Great Demon could take no more, Dark Lance sets his fist ablaze with the Cursed Flame, and lands one final punch, with tremendous force and overwhelming power. After the deed was done, Dark Lance roars to the sky, having defeated his adversary.
But, just moments later, the sound of flesh being ripped open echoed through the forest, for Leon Kronos had just punched a hole through Dark Lance's chest. His dragon like hand still burning bright with demonic flames, and it remains in Dark Lance's chest.
Leon Kronos: Rejoice, Crash. For I am being reborn. (Kronos said with glee, his skin continuing to slowly morph into a dragon.
