As Lupin was exploring the city with her friends, she sensed a powerful energy from the forest.

Lupin:  Guys, don't tell Dad or the others where I am.

Mark:  Lupin, just be safe.

Zukini:  I'll keep the others distracted, while you check out that energy.

    Lupin nod towards her friends and she teleported towards a forest. As she was exploring the forest, she spotted a dead body and saw Darcia sheath her sword. Lupin was about to sneak out and get the others until Darcia appears behind her and kicks her towards the tree.

Darcia:  I'm quite disappointed in you. I've heard quite rumours about you attacking other warriors and your own people from your clan attacking a villages that might know more about where I am.

Lupin:  They were in my way.

Darcia:  Yet, you were careless. Since you're here and we're alone, let's finish our battle.

Lupin:  Fine.

    Lupin pulls out her father's dagger while Darci a pulls out her sword.

   At the Shi Creation Universe

Zaydon:  Man, I should find something to do. Perhaps pranking or meeting Sadie again will be great.

    Suddenly, he sees Yui and Mikoshin training each other until Yui was on the ground defeated.

Yui:  You're quite amazing.

Mikoshin:  Don't worry, just try to find your enemy's weak points next time.

Yui:  Okay.

    Zaydon was seeing Maurice pranking with Sam and smiles at himself.

Zaydon:  I hope the others were okay.

    Back in the forest, Lupin and Darcia continue to fight each other intensely. Their blades clang loudly as they clash back and forth. As their blades lock, Lupin hears a grackle tweeting from behind her. Lupin's distraction causes her to dodge quickly from Darcia's attack. Lupin uses her HellWolf arm to grapple and swing from tree to tree. Darcia gives chase.

Darcia: Stop running away from me!

    Darcia then jumps onto a tree trunk and leaps off of it as she continues to pursue Lupin, who continues leaping from branch to branch. Darcia then fires ice and it crashes into Lupin's arm just as she was about to grapple onto another tree. Due to her loss of momentum, Darcia manages to catch up and slash at her, but she merely just missed her. Lupin then kicks off Darcia, knocking him back. As Lupin lands back on the ground, she fires lightning at Darcia, who blocks some of her attacks but some manage to still hit her. The two then leap out of the forest and find themselves on a natural stone bridge in front of a waterfall.

   The two then clash again, with Lupin evading Darcia's attacks with her own abilities. Lupin manages to dodge Darcia's sword with the dagger, leaving Darcia to defend herself. Eventually, Darcia catches Lupin's wrist and disarms her dagger.

Darcia: I wouldn't have to be doing this if you just died!

    Suddenly, Darcia grabs her sword and flings away Lupin's dagger, before knocking her in the side of her head with it. Lupin gets knocked back several feet.

Darcia: But you're pathetic!

   Darcia knocks Lupin back again.

Darcia: You're a troublesome brat!

    Darcia again knocks Lupin back a few feet.

Lupin: You're crazy...!

    Darcia then points her sword at Lupin's right eye that she gave her before. Darcia then uses her powers, which causes Lupin's dagger to break in half. The broken weapon clatters away from Lupin.

Darcia:  Do you really think that somebody is gonna save you? If so, where's your hero?

    Lupin doesn't pay attention to what Darcia says until she raises her sword and lets out a loud yell in fury. Suddenly, Lupin forms into a HellWolf, catching Darcia's sword.

Darcia: What?!

Suddenly, from above the waterfall, a motorcycle, which crashes into Darcia, knocking her down, before falling off into the river. Mark and Zukini lands a few feet away from Lupin as they stare down Darcia.

Darcia: You...

Mark fires a blue fireball at Darcia, which she blocks.

Lupin: *distorted* Guys!

Mark: It's okay. Catch your breath for a second. I can hold her off.

Darcia: He's right, Lupin. It's okay, we have... unfinished business.

Mark:  Zukini, get Lupin heal and try to find a way to send the signal for the Creation Clan.

Zukini:  On it.

    As Zukini was heading towards Lupin, Mark and Darcia stare each other down. Darcia makes the first move, delivering a series of quick slashes that knock Mark back a short distance. Eventually, Mark starts to strike back, managing to land some hits on Darcia that she wasn't able to block. Mark knocks Darcia back a good distance before firing lightning at her. She blocks and absorbs the lightning with her sword. Darcia then quickly runs in circles around Mark before letting out another attack that causes Mark to slide back a short distance.

Lupin:  Mark, she absorbs energy through her sword, stores it up and then sends it back when she's ready.

Mark: Well, isn't it quite obvious? *sighs* That's just bullcrap.

    The two proceed to trade blows again. Mark lands a series of punches and kicks on Darcia, but she manages to send him back when he punches her sword until a part of her mask breaks apart. Mark gets knocked back next to Lupin and Zukini and the three share a glance with each other. Darcia notices this and lets out an angered growl. She readies her abilities once again.

Lupin: MARK!!

    With a loud yell, Darcia lets out a devastating attack with her ability. When the smoke clears, Mark is still standing, though he has a wound in his chest and his foot barely hangs off the edge of the bridge. He looks at hid chest and glares at Darcia.

Mark: Leave. Us. Alone. This is your last chance.

    Darcia stares back at the three as she grips the hilt of her sword again. Mark trembles slightly

Darcia: Heh, do you really believe that? Or are you just trying to scare me away so you won't have to die trying to protect her?

    Mark, angered, prepares to fight her again despite his body still trembling. Suddenly, Lupin takes Mark's hand with her own and looks at Zukini with a serious nod until she nods back and left.

Lupin: He's not protecting me, Darcia. Besides, you're just mad that you've lost many of your armies and your friends.

    Darcia glares back at the two of them angrily.

Lupin: We're just finishing the job to defeat a common enemy.

The two friends stand hand in hand in solidarity as they glare at Adam together...

Darcia: You knew you couldn't win two-on-one on Earth. What makes you so sure you can win now?

Lupin: I don't have a choice. I have people who actually care about me, and I promised I'd never leave them again. So I'm not dying now.

    Mark smiles at her friend's words before glaring back at Darcia.

Darcia: You know, you made a promise to me once. That you'd always be at my side. Heh, and look how well you kept it.

Mark: Did I make that promise to you? Or to the person you were pretending to be?

    Silence was around them until Zukini shouts in the distance.

Zukini:  *distance* That's a critical damage!

Darcia: So I wasn't just good enough for you?

Mark: You know it's so much more than that.

Darcia: I know you've made your choice... and I've made mine.

    The three combatants then take defensive stances as they resume their battle. Lupin and Mark rush forward together. The two of them work together to strike at Darcia with a series of back and forth blows and slashes. Lupin grabs some dust and throws it at Darcia, but she blocks it. Lupin uses her claw to clash with Darcia's sword, but she sends her flying back. Lupin's back hits the cliffside of the waterfall, depleting her stamina. She nearly falls off the ledge and hangs on for dear life.

Mark: Lupin!

    He then turns around and angrily glares at Darcia.

Darcia: Moment of truth, Mark. Do you think you're stronger than you were at home?

   This causes Mark to gasp and tremble slightly. Darcia notices this and chuckles.

Darcia: Me neither.

    Darcia rushes forward. Matk manages to dodge most of her attacks, but he is then knocked to the ground.

Darcia: Your energy is bound to be running low.

    Mark pants for breath as Darcia angrily grunts at him. Meanwhile, Lupin struggles to climb up.

Darcia: Hit me already!

Mark dodges.

Darcia: What did you even see in Lupin?!!

    Mark gets knocked back. Lupin continues her climb.

Darcia: You're just a coward like her!!

    Darcia unleashes an attack with her sword ability toward Mark. However, at the last second, Yang's eyes turn yellow. The attack hits Mark, creating a cloud of dust. Darcia rushes forward and swings her sword down. When the dust clears, Darcia looks in shock as Mark has caught her sword with his foot.

Mark: Gotcha...

    Mark pulls Darcia toward him and punches her hard enough to disarm her and send her flying back. The force of the attack depletes Adam's energy. Darcia stands back up and tries to fight again until her armor was falling apart.

Mark: I may not be stronger... but I'm smarter.

     Suddenly, Lupin reappears and uppercuts Darcia after she jumps back on to the bridge. Darcia stumbles backward and unsheathes her sword until she starts attacking them with another sword ability.

Darcia:  If you won't fall before me, then I'll make sure that you'll die.

    Mark and Lupin was scared until they saw a large red smoke at the sky.

Lupin:  Looks like the Creation Clan are coming. We'll keep fighting until they arrive.

    Darcia smirks at them and extended her arm towards the sky.

Mark:  Oh my God! She's gotta be toying with us!

     Before Darcia was ready to destroy the Creation Universe with the destruction bomb, a grackle was flying towards Darcia and transforms into Shion as he was ready to destroy the blast.

Shion:  ....Hakai.

     The destruction bomb was getting erased from existence that made Darcia was confused about Shion's resurrection and his powers.

Darcia:  How are you alive and when did you get stronger?!

Shion:  Shi Clan resurrected me and my wife and I was getting stronger by training with the Creation Clan.

      Darcia was getting frustrated until she returns into her form and was ready to face Shion.

Shion:  Don't.

     Darcia was ready to strike Shion until she fell unconscious by running out of energy. Shion checks on Darcia and looks at Mark and Lupin with a smile.

Shion:  She's down.

    Suddenly, Lupin starts to sob and falls to her knees as she breaks down crying. Mark runs over to hug her. Lupin hugs back.

Lupin: *tearfully* Th... Thank you, you guys.

Mark: It's alright Lupin, we're here.

    The two kids continue to embrace as Lupin continues to sob. Then, they saw Zukini flying towards them and ran straight into her after she landed.

Zukini:  Are you guys okay?

Lupin:  Yeah, we're okay, but Mark's been wounded in the chest.

Mark:  L-Lupin, I'm fine!

    Zukini pulls out a needle from her backpocket and injects it into Mark's arm.

Mark:  Ow, that hurts!

Zukini:  Well, you shouldn't struggle.

    Lupin was laughing at her friends until she saw Darcia lying on the ground.

Lupin:  What should we do to her?

Shion:  I suppose that she should be kept in the cell until Jack and his family decides what to do with her.

Lupin:  Okay, but I should meet Jack and his family alone about why I killed the kids from the Creation Clan and the Shi Clan.

Shion:  Wait, why would you attack them?

Lupin:  I was out of control with my HellWolf form and they were in the way of destroying a village where Darcia's men have lived.

Shion:  Man, you're just lucky that your mom isn't here. She would've kill you for hurting those kids.

Lupin:  Right, I'm glad that it's over.

Mark:  Yeah.
