**CHAPTER 10**
River's mouth contorted into a scowl of fury as he repeatedly slashed at the Leader of the Flooders, who deflected every blow in his elegant darkness. Black robes twirled through the air as the Leader appeared to be immersed in the battle, not tired whatsoever. River was as fast as lighting at his sword, still having streaks of red lighting cling to it as he attacked repeatedly. His anger controlled him as he ferociously advanced to try to savagely take the life of the Leader of the Flooders.
In his blinding of red fury, River was not concentrating as he yelled at the top of his lungs, striking the Leader with so much intensity and pure, utter hatred, only focusing on the of the having his revenge. In this, he did not expect the Leader's move of quickness as he blocked River's blow, ducked and twirled to dart behind him. In one quick thrust, the Leader chopped the entire arm of River. "Ah!" River screamed as he fell to the floor. The Leader cackled at seeing his former apprentice writhe in pain.
"It is impossible to conquer me, young River," the Leader said, evil oozing forth from his very being. He was none other than the very personification of badness, and River realized that he was beginning to become the same. "I am impressed by your fighting, letting your hatred consume you. You would truly be a worthy apprentice, as you have been so long ago. But now River, there is no hope. In the core, hordes of my clones await your insignificant team planning to destroy it. Out on the plain battle, my armies are destroying your ground troops. And now, you will die, as will your wife, and your child . . ."
Uncontrollable rage filled River again, but whereas normally it would have lasted, the realization that in battle, he had become equal to the Leader of the Flooders in terms of rage and hatred, allowed him slowly calm himself . . . just before the attack came. Lighting bolts came shooting forward from another hidden panel in the walls, into the wound where his arm as been as he yelled in pain. The bolts continued, somehow stronger, more painful, and longer lasting. He tried to pull himself up, not having time to recover before another burst. More bolts seared across his skin, and he was unable to even try and crawl away from the inexplicable pain. The next thrust snapped him to lay on his back as he was thrown across the floor, beginning to go into convolutions. Inevitable began to come upon him.
There was a break as the Leader drew closer to gaze him right in the eye, taking at seeing his pain. River knew what was coming as he lie there, his body smoking. He ened his muscles as he closed her eyelids shut ly, bracing for his final blow. Just as the bolts to ensure his were fired, an armored figure jumped to absorb the bolts himself. Lightning consumed the figure as River stared at him in shock at recognizing the man as Jedrek Div.
Jedrek stood, just a bit weakened, aiming to shoot the Leader with his weapon. Before he could pull the trigger, more and more lighting folded upon him as the Leader looked at his right hand man who was trying to save River, disgusted in all entirety. He did not stop the searing red bolts, he allowed them to keep coming and coming and coming as they pierced armor and clothing. River wanted to somehow get up, but as he tried, the Leader quickly shot him with more bolts, and then returned to the torture of Jedrek.
For long moments of intense pain, Jedrek lie being thrown and smacked out the room as River looked on in horror. He had to try something, but yet again, his ideas were abashed as lightning quickly pinned him again, then returning to continue on Jedrek. Div's body went in convolutions as over and over he was thrown about, being smacked by the powerful lightning into the walls as the Leader looked at him with rage. Nearly paralyzed by the pain, Jedrek exerted himself one last time when throne forward to reach out and grab River's sword that had been cast across the floor as he was throne forth. When the lightning carried him forward, he snapped off the torture panel and then brought the sword back around in one swift motion, took of the head of the Leader and smashed to floor. All was silent.
River couldn't believe what had happened as he lay in awe at Jedrek Div. Jedrek's breathing could still be heard, by River could tell from its sound that he was very close do after worst attack River had ever seen. With his remaining arm, he pulled himself forward, but barely able to, to lay next to Jedrek's body. The man's head slowly craned sideways to look at him, masked by his helmet. "River," he spoke in a weak tone.
"Yes, Jedrek?" River replied, feeling sorry for the man.
"Take my mask off . . . please, take it off." River nodded, leaning forward to slide the battered helmet off of his head. Underneath, he just stared at the mans face. Deep inside him, emotions surged as he recognized exactly who it was. He gazed into his eyes, as a jump came into his throat, distant memories filling him.
"Father?" River asked, his voice wavering.
"It's me . . . Beno-Yo. I . . . I . . ."
"You are Jedrek Div?"
"When we were trapped with the Flooders so long ago . . . when you were very young . . . the Leader captured you, thinking I was . . . I knew they would raise you to be a Flooder . . . I knew I had to look over you as you grew up . . . so that just maybe . . . I could steer you away from the Leader . . . and bring you to a good path . . ."
"It was you!" River smiled with a tear coming from his eye. "Your flight plan! It caused me to crash on the Unnamed Site! You were the one that caused me to find the Admins!"
Beno-Yo smiled and nodded his head. "I regret having to disguise myself as a Flooder . . . but it was the only way to save you from . . . being joined with the Leader of the Flooders forever. . . Am so proud River . . . of you . . . and what you've accomplished . . . I love you so much." With a last twinkly in his eye and a smile, the great Admin of old, Beno-Yo, closed his eyes as he passed in .
River bent low, closing his arm around his father's body and hugging him, sharing one last moment with each other.
Vader, Raptor-Rex, and Para, who helped JohnArnold rush forward with his leg wound, ran as breakneck speed back through the vent landing the in the corridor near the back door. Everyone was hoping that River was finding another way out, and as much as they wanted to go to look for him, they knew it would be useless, that they only had one minute left. Clones ran after them, coming out from doors in the walls as firing. The Admins didn't even turned to fight. They simply took one final bound and ran out of the device, down the bluff and across the plain as soon as possible.
Rexoraptor shouted for everyone to race as all of the ground troops of the United Legislature turned and ran back towards the fleet awaiting them on the other end. The clones of the Flooders started to give chase. Just as they did, there was a loud rumble. The ground shook as the massive clone device shuddered and then exploded from the center, fire flaming out the reach out and consume all of the clone army below on the battle plains, destroying them. Another explosion erupted, reaching up to the base of the throne room as the forces of good cheered in escaping the destruction.
River dragged his father's body, feeling the base of the throne room begin to crumble as he entered the escape pod in the side of the wall, created for use by the Leader. He quickly pulled him and his father inside as he slammed on the controls, causing the pod to eject itself from the throne room just as it exploded. River looked behind him while the pod shot toward the awaiting United Legislature's fleet. The Leader of the Flooder's throne room was destroyed along with the entire clone device. Evil had been defeated.
That night, in the middle of the jungle, River with his bandaged shoulder and his wife Para stood together, with Vader, Raptor-Rex, JohnArnold, Jon, Majestic-1, Rexoraptor, AcroIguana, and SamFan and everyone else in the Legislature standing before a funeral pyre. They all watched body of Beno-Yo burn, gazing solemnly, paying their respects to wonderful and heroic Admin who had paved the way for victory and the defeat of the Leader of the Flooders. The name of Cyros, along with other soldiers lost in battle was set beside him. Everyone owed allegiance and respect, and everyone had their own, different memories of those that died, but they all loved them dearly. And although they were gone, the feelings for them would endure forever.
Celebration took off throughout the internet. Every single site's members gathered together in appreciation for being released from oppression and badness. There had never been such an event in all the internet's history.
But none of the celebrations were larger than the one that took place that night on Dan's JP3 Page. Everyone gathered together in the cities, in the jungles, in the plains - everywhere. AcroIguana embraced the crew of his ship, congratulating them on a job well done. Majestic-1, Jon, and Rexoraptor came together with the loving JohnArnold and SamFan to rejoice. Raptor- Rex and Vader over-joyously hugged River and Para at finally finishing the long, hard battle that had taken so much of their lives to endure. AlanGrant5 carried the wide-eyed Enella back to her parents as River and Para nuzzled her and kissed each other passionately. Everyone, everywhere rejoiced. Evil had been defeated! Long live the legacy of Dan! Long live peace and justice! Long live the Admins!
