Udo could see the crack forming in the corner of his eye. "Damn. He's already starting to break my expansion. I don't want to…but I'm gonna have to do it! Some way and some how!"
"Titian." Wonder called out. Titan turned around and lowered his head. "March."
Titan slowly turned around and began to walk towards Udo. Udo flew to Wonders expansion and threw his chains around Titian. Pulling him away from his own.
The giant was heavy. Udo put all of his might into it. "The hell? Feels heavy as a damn planet." Udo noticed his chains turning grey. "He's decaying my chains!?"
Titan slowly turned his head and opened his mouth. Purple aura began to build up inside of his mouth.
Titan shot a beam from his mouth. Udo's eyes grew as he held out his hand to stop the attack. He snapped his fingers and managed to break the beam apart. In the blink of an eye, Titan jumped and kicked Udo on the right side, shattering his right arm, ribs, leg, and fractured his skull.
Udo was sent flying and floated in space inside of his expansion. "Damn…I can't heal anymore. That giant is gonna ruin everything. This is something I didn't see coming…not at all. I can't even move anymore."
Titan took slow steps. He was getting close to Udo's expansion. "Even if he manages to break apart our clash of expansions…Titan will destroy the island. I…have to switch the rules! Rule one: Don't let Titan take another step! If he does…damage Wonder's brain!"
Titan stopped and looked at his king. Wonder smiled as he realized what Udo had done. "Udo, you laughable monster! You doing that will allow me to think as I please." Wonder said.
"Correct, but my expansion will still do damage to-"
Wonder used his mind and thought about canceling Udo's expansion affect. Wonder could feel pain inside of his head.
"As I figured. I can't get rid of his ability. It's…attached to me in a way. There's more to this soul stuff I need to learn about. In that case…I'll do this."
Titan could feel his body surge with energy. Titan laughed as he began to walk again. Udo noticed Wonder taking no damage.
"What?!" He said. Udo quickly held out his hand and used his aura to build up his energy. "I know you've been holding back all these years…but I'm gonna use one of your new moves! Graveyard Crusher ball!" A giant purple ball with electrical energy formed on Udo's hand.
Titan leaped on Udo's side of the clash. He opened his mouth and shot another powerful beam of energy.
Udo reared back and threw the ball with everything he had. The beam overpowered Udo's attack. "Damn…I'm not Jerome, huh?" Udo said with a slight smirk across his face.
The beam pushed Udo back. "One…last thing. I'll…I'll summon you!"
As Titan's foot was about to touch Udo's expansion. Kavaxas flew underneath his giant foot and stopped him from stepping. Kavaxas began to decay away. In that fraction of a second, Udo flew over and snapped his fingers. Hitting Titan with a powerful force. Titan was pushed back inside of Wonder's expansion.
Wonder thought about Titan falling on Udo's side. Titan teleported over Udo and began to fall once again.
"Damn it!" Udo took a deep breath. He was flung away with a powerful punch from Wonder. Udo forced his body to stop and managed to grab Wonder. "See you later!" Udo yelled, as he sound around and threw him towards Titan. Wonder quickly slammed his hands together. "Deactivate!" Wonder landed on Titan's falling body and jumped out of the way. "Activate."
Udo was helpless. He couldn't do anything but watch. Titan's foot was only a few inches from Udo's expansion.
"One more…little trick." Udo snapped his fingers and began to use the burning souls at the bottom of his expansion to pile up and stop the giant.
"What?!" Wonder looked on in surprise. Wonder closed his eyes and thought about the souls being too weak to stop Titan.
Pointed at a soul. "Time manipulation: Infinity collapsed realm!"
Udo can use any of the souls he has to his collection. With this move. Titan was trapped in place in a small time realm. "Don't let him touch!"
The souls surrounded Titan's body. Udo noticed something was off. He looked closely and could see a small crack within Titan's head.
"Wait…wait…a shell? That means-" Udo spun around. In horror, he watched as Titan's real body touched his expansion.
A loud sound was heard among the three. It sounded like a airplane ready to lift. Udo's heart was racing. He could feel his expansion disappearing.
An explosion went off and the ocean was aggressive. Udo landed in the ocean and could feel only half of his body. He slowly emerged from the water and stood on top of it. Wonder was sitting down across the sea, with Titan floating beside him.
"Done yet?" Wonder yawned.
Udo was breathing heavily. He could barley stand or see. Udo thought about everyone. Frost, Adisa, Jade, Xavier, Jerome, Summer, Trover, Nzinga, and more. "I…failed every last one of them. As a man…I fight everyday…we all do. Life isn't something to give up on. Besides…I have strong fighters who are counting on me to win! Trust me…our fight…has only begun!" Udo yelled as he ripped off his arm and leg.
Titan and Wonder were in shock. "Behold! My own…healing technique without aura! Aaaghhh!!!" Udo shot out a arm and leg from his body. "That feels amazing!" Udo laughed.
Wonder felt a slight pinch of rage. "What's this?! His power is back? All of his aura has restored! What-"
"Like I said…our fight is just getting started. And besides…you're about to take massive damage."
Wonder's nose began to bleed. "The brain damage. I see. I can't stop this. That explains why I can only think of a limit number of things now." Wonder sighed.
Wonder got up. "Well…let's spice things up for our final round. Udo dropped his head. "What are you talking about?"
Wonder pointed at the sky. "March…and destroy the island…my children. March with Titan!"

Charlie ran and ran. He could see Udo, Wonder, and Titan standing in the ocean. "Damn it! I was trying to find Mr.Frost and I ended up here! These three are crazy strong! I have no business-"
"Go, do you ever stop doubting yourself?"
Charlie stopped in his place and looked around. "Who's there? Are you in my head?"
"I'm in the ocean. I'm Udo…leader of the Kani clan. I'm talking to you telepathically."
"Oh…hello."
"Hi. Listen, I need you to take Titian down. I'm in a little fight with the king. Pretty strong creature. So…fight the servant and save the island."
"Wait, wait, wait! I can't fight that thing! Get someone else!"
"There is no one else! You're the only one who keeps running around. I've heard about you. You're Charlie…the lone survivor from the legendary mist clan. Frost had recruited you for a IP position."
"How do you-"
"Evryone knows about you. You're the last one of your clan. And…you run away from everything. Listen, I know people like you and I've been there. How long do you plan on running? Someone is on the way…I just need you to hold Titan off while I'm busy. You can do it kid. Believe in yourself. I don't trust Frost…but I believe there's a reason he picked you."
Charlie looked on and watched, as Titan began to take giant,slow, and steady steps towards the island.
"D-damn it. It's always me! I couldn't even protect Delta…I know I can't take this giant down." Charlie took a deep breath. Unlike Frost and Delta, Charlie wore a all white outfit and had two dragon designs on his shoulders. "Fine. Not for long but just enough to buy some time." Charlie closed his eyes, as mist began to surround his body and the shore of the island.
Titan squinted his eyes and could see Charlie standing on the line. "Am I really gonna do this?! Screw it! Here goes nothing!" Charlie let out all of his aura and Titan felt a pinch of surprise.
Charlie reached into the mist and pulled out a sword and pistol.

Wonder and Udo stood in the middle of the ocean. Udo smiled and Wonder took a deep breath.
"We both can't use expansions anymore. Clashing takes a lot out of us. I would do it again…but that's not fair. So…from here on…it'll be an interesting fight." Wonder began to stretch.
"Hell yeah!" Udo agreed.
"Time for round three".
"Time for round three".
