The wind was blowing and the atmosphere was cold and all four opponents were stalemating. "Tell me, something Teacher, will you look at me differently when I obliterate your Ace Coldfront? It doesn't even matter anyway, because the whole Formaxion will be dead soon, and I for one can't wait to watch that pathetic organization erased from existence! Ever since I joined the organization and had to watch myself shadow Coldfront and always come up with the short end of the stick, I knew what I had to do, and that was to find my path. You're all nothing to me now, and before anyone else can get to destroying you'll, I want to be the first to put a big hole in the Formaxion by taking out the teacher and the face of the organization!" Rayden added with Rage. "Before Zodiac could talk, Coldfront spoke up first.
"You shut your mouth...You chose to turn your back on us, I don't consider myself the strongest over anyone, but I train to get where I wanna get while you complain. An I will not stand here while you down talk the Formaxion and the leader, you were chosen just like me and everyone else to join the Formaxion and this is the thanks Zodiac and the Formaxion get? How about this, we stop talking, and I beat some sense into you!" Coldfront said as he went into his fighting stance. Rayden then charged at Coldfront and he charged at Rayden to clash in battle. "I will finish you this time!" Rayden angrily said to Coldfront.
"Your fight is with me, Tao." Zodiac declared, as Tao charged at him but Zodiac just stood there. The two then went in hand-to-hand combat, Zodiac was blocking every punch Tao threw at him. Zodiac then punched Tao lightly knocking him in a distance. "It then showed Coldfront and Rayden off in a different area going head to head, as Rayden went his distance. "I am going to show you true power!" Rayden pointed out, as he burst forth with rage and charged at Coldfront. "So fast!" Coldfront said to himself, as Rayden punched him repeatedly, as he went to the ground. Rayden then jumped in the air and came down with his foot intended for Coldfront's face, but Coldfront quickly evaded the attempt, by rolling out of harm's way. As Coldfront made it to his feet, Rayden quickly charged at him and they both started fighting furiously, as Rayden connected to Coldfront's jaw and sent him staggering.
Rayden then started throwing shurikens at Coldfront who then started hiding. "The clone Coldfront then came from behind the tree as Rayden knew it was a distraction, "Not this time!" He shouted, as Coldfront came from out of the ground ready to uppercut Rayden, who then did a backflip to avoid contact. Rayden threw a shuriken in the chest of Coldfront coming up, but that two was an ice clone. The real Coldfront came from behind and punched Rayden behind the head, as Rayden went to the ground, he did a front-flip kip-up.
Meanwhile, Zodiac and Tao were going at it. Zodiac punched Tao in the stomach sending him flying, as Tao released a fire attack from two small yellow balls that he threw at Zodiac. Zodiac then covered himself as the fire cleared and Tao decked him in the face, sending him afar. Zodiac then sent a white energy ball from his hands at Tao. As the ball flew at him with speed, it exploded sending a mass of energy out, breaking most of the trees, and sending Tao back. "Zodiac then stood there when 5 nightmare ninjas showed up to aid Tao in battle.
It then showed Coldfront and Rayden panting while looking at one another, and holding their damaged areas. Rayden was covering his arm, and Coldfront was covering the side area of his abdomen. "It's not over yet." Rayden indicated as Black Shadow came from out of the shadows and stood beside him. "This must be Coldfront I assume, Rayden, I'll take care of him, but afterward....we need to discuss an issue about what you did earlier tonight." Black Shadow said as he stepped up and Rayden looked on knowing he has to fight black shadow next. "I don't want to kill you while you're at a fatigued state, so rest up while you can." Shadow said as he then looked at Coldfront, "and as for you, it would be an honor to kill you right here, your name is in the death book with a great deal of money on your head, so let me show you how much I want that money!" "He yelled, as the weakened Coldfront went into his fighting stance. Rayden then looked on, as Black shadow was so quick, that Coldfront didn't see him move. Black shadow punched Coldfront in the face "what the!" Coldfront yelled while hitting the ground. As Coldfront managed to make it to his feet, he and Black shadow went all out, as it showed Rayden recuperating.
Meanwhile, Zodiac was surrounded by the 5 ninjas, who then charged at him. Zodiac then closed his eyes and started using teleportation combat. Everywhere he teleported, he attacked each ninja. One of the ninjas that he teleported to, started striking him in pressure spots that immediately paralyzed the ninja. He then double-kicked two ninjas at once, and the third ninja got punched in the stomach cutting his wind. It then showed Tao plotting his escape when, Zodiac teleported behind him, as Tao flipped to distance and threw small knives at Zodiac who just deflected them and charged at him. "It then shows Coldfront on the ground, as black shadow drew his sword. "Now, it's time to finish you off." He declared as Rayden looked on. Coldfront then staggered to his feet panting, "I won't let up!" He yelled as two ice clones were summoned, as they ran at black shadow. Black shadow then threw his sword through one of them and performed a double front-flip on his sword and jumped over the other ice clone as the sword went through the other and ended up back into black shadow's hands, as he ran at Coldfront poised to kill. Coldfront was weak in stamina and his Chi depleted. "Now, time to die!" Shadow yelled when suddenly, Nova appeared and kicked the sword out of the hands of Black shadow. Nova stood in front of Coldfront with anger. "You're fighting me now!" She demanded as she punched black shadow with power sending him flying back and hitting the ground. Rayden was shocked at seeing Nova for the first time. She then checked on Coldfront who staggered to his feet and immediately fell back down.
"Rest up Coldfront." She insisted as she stood there eyeing black shadow and looking over at Rayden but not knowing it was him. "Nova," Rayden said to himself as Black shadow stood up and quick-stepped and gutted Nova in the stomach and added a dropkick. Rayden then looked at Coldfront getting up and threw a Kunai at him. Rayden then dashed and punched Coldfront in the face, as Nova and black shadow continued their fight. Nova then punched black shadow multiple times in the face, as it then showed Rayden destroying the weak Coldfront. He performed a back-flip kick to Coldfront's chest, followed by backhand punches. "It then showed Zodiac chasing down Tao who was on the run. Tao looked back and threw two shurikens at Zodiac, as Zodiac dodged both. Tao then continued to throw more and more shurikens, "give up Zodiac!" He yelled as Zodiac continued to evade the attacks.
It then goes back to Coldfront and Rayden. Coldfront was nearly on the brink of losing his life, as Rayden continued the assault with tremendous blows to Coldfront. After the last hit, Coldfront fell to the ground unable to move. As Rayden was about to hit Coldfront once more, they both heard Nova scream. "Sa...save her…" Coldfront said as Rayden heard Nova scream once more. "It then showed black shadow taking the sword out of Nova's arm. She then fell, as the blood came from her arm. "And now, to finish you off stupid girl…" he said when he was going for the killing blow. Suddenly, Rayden stood in front of Nova holding the sword. "Wait your turn!" Black shadow said as Rayden became incensed when he saw Nova bleeding. "I'm Gonna kill you!" He declared as Black shadow went his distance.
It then showed Zodiac stalemating with Tao who had nowhere else to go. "It's time to end this Tao! Nowhere else to run." Zodiac said as Tao became angry, "I am gonna kill you Zodiac!" Tao yelled, to end the chapter with the two of them go into their fighting stances.
