We were on our way to Germany, I was pumped. But, in this trip, I also had to save Lucy, and destroy the evil, Dark Nova Association. I wondered why this association was made. Mike looked over at me.
"Joey, are you OK?" he questioned.
"Yes, I think so." I replied.
I turned away and gazed out the window, pondering about the challenges ahead of me. A few hours later, we had landed.
"We have arrived in Germany, have a nice trip!" The loudspeaker said.
Mike woke up, as Ruki got out of his seat. We were greeted at the terminal by two men in suits, the initials;"D.N.A." Were carved into the shirts.
"Hello Vanquishers, we've been expecting you." they said.
One of the men seized my arm. I quickly punched him in the face.
"What does the Dark Nova Association want!" I yelled.
Mike and Ruki joined in on the fight. Mike charged at the man, while Ruki kicked the other in the face. We ran out of the airport before the men could catch us.
The building in front of us was a giant industrial building had "D.N.A" carved into it. I ran in and walked to the front desk.
"Where is Lucy!" I commanded.
"Talk to our leader, Veit." the man at the front desk said.
I screamed, I ran up the stairs to the room thar said; "Veit's Private Room"
I slammed open the door to see Lucy sitting on a chair on her phone. She looked up.
"Joey!" She yelled.
A chair turned around to revealed a dark character sitting in it.
"I see you've met my daughter." he snickered.

Chapter 17
The Darkness Emerges
"Veit? You are the leader of the Dark Nova Association?" I questioned.
"Yes, I am, I was Lucy's father, until her mother intervined." He replied.
Ruki stepped up, with an angry look on his face.
"Your 'Friends' almost kidnapped us!" He yelled.
Veit stood up and laughed.
"Those people are just tools in my master-plan." He said.
Veit pressed a button on his chair, and a chair opened next to him. A hooded man emerged out of the door.
"Shadow!" I yelled.
"Yes it is me, and my Dragooon Ifraid W145SWD!" He yelled.
Shadow pulled off his hood reveal a red-headed boy, with red eyes and a scar on his left jaw.
"So, this is the real you." I said.
A girl walked up besides Shadow.
"I am Kai Jaeger! I use Kurai Siren CH120CF!" She yelled.
Kai had a black jumpsuit on and high, black boots. She had black hair, and green eyes.
Then a boy dropped from the ceiling.
"I, am Urs Dietrich, I use Demonic Arachnid LW160SB." He muttered.
I ignored them and ran over to Lucy.
"Lucy! Are you okay!" I yelled.
"Uhhhhh...-"
"She is OKAY!" Veit yelled pounding his fist on the chair's arm.
He nodded to Shadow, and Shadow nodded back, smiling. Shadow ran at me, grabbing my shoulder.
"You. Are. Staying." He said.
"NO!" I yelled.
I went insane, I lost all control, and rage took over. I punched him in the gut. Mike and Ruki charged at Urs.
"Hey! Nobody wants to fight me?" Kai questioned.
They ignored her. Shadow let out a swift kick to my chest, knocking me down. Mike and Ruki grabbed Urs, throwing him into the ground. Then Shadow came over and bashed Ruki and Mike, knocking them out. Shadow came back to finish me.
"See you at the battles tommorow!" snickered Kai as Shadow kicked me in the face, then everything went black...

Chapter 18
Locked Up
I woke up in a cell of some sort. It had one bed, and a toilet. The walls were brick, no way of getting out. I pounded the wall to amke sure. I heard voices down the hall.
"What are we gonna do with them?"
"Keep them captive until the first match."
Then Kai appeared at the cell doors.
"Hey Babe." She snickered.
"Be Quiet, Trickery does not have an effect on me." I replied.
She opened the door, angrily.
"Listen, we can kill you faster than you think!" she shouted.
I stood there, silently, ignoring her. Kai ran up to me, then kissed me on the cheek.
"How'd ya like that?" she said.
"Not a lot, Bye now!" I replied.
I ran behind her and ran out the cell door and closed it.
"You'll Pay!" She screamed.
I ran out the doors and all of the sudden a stadium appeared in front of me.
"Damn! Wrong door!" I yelled.
A figure dropped from the ceiling.
"Urs." I said, disgusted.
Urs had brown hair with green highlights, purple eyes, obviously not real. He had on Black pants with multiple pockets, and a black overcoat.
"Hello, get ready to die!" He screamed.
...
To be continued

"Urs, you disgust me." I said.
Urs smiled.
"How so, little boy." He snickered.
"Because, you are a slave of darkness, a disgrace to the human race." I replied.
Urs put his hands in his pockets and laughed.
"But, you are a slave of darkness as well, no? All those times you lost control, wrecking havoc." said Urs.
Then, I realized, I thought Kai, Urs, and Shadow were pure darkness, but I had not remember my experiences of being mercilessly being controlled by a dark force, that was blood-thirsty and ready to kill. I dropped to my knees, and took out Gryph.
"Gryph, I have failed you, and the whole Takanori family!" I yelled, as a tear rolled down my eye.
I got up, angrily.
"This is all your fault!" I yelled.
"No, it's Shadow's, after all, he was controlling you." said Urs.
I had had it, I was going to crush Urs, and the entire German Team!
"Are you ready Gryph?" I questioned.
I attached Gryph to my launcher.
"Urs, I will defeat you, for my family, for my pride, AND FOR AMERICA!" I shouted.
"Okay, but be warned me and my Demonic Arachnid LW160SB show no mercy!" exclaimed Urs.
I knew I was ready.
"3,2,1 GOOOOOOO SHOOT!" We yelled.
Arachnid started a sliding-shoot pattern, knocking into Gryph numerous times. Ruki put his hand down in a swift motion, signaling Gryph. Gryph circled around Arachnid and E230 caught on to Arachnid, throwing it into the stadium wall. Urs clenched his teeth.
"Go Arachnid! Form your web!" yelled Urs in a manical voice.
Arachnid started a insanely fast barrage attack, that left a trail of darkness that seemed to form a web pattern.
"Hahahahahahaha!" laughed Urs.
Gryph was taking critical damage, and soon, he would be destroyed.
"No Gryph! Soar!" I yelled.
Gryph flew into the air, avoiding Arachnid's attacks. Then he came down, crashing into Arachnid, making a crack in it's face-bolt. It was my turn to dominate.
"NO! SPECIAL MOVE! ARMAGEDDON WEB CORRUPTION!" yelled Urs.
The whole stadium started to fill with a darkness. Then, it started to fill me. I tried to fight it, but it was no use. My faith was sealed, I would die, a empty soul. Gryph was about to stop spinning, until it happened. A red arua surrounded Gryph and I.
"NEVER GIVE UP!" I yelled.
Gryph regained it's spin and immediately started striking.
"YOU WILL NEVER HAVE TRUE SPIRIT! NEVER!" I yelled.
The aura turned into a blazing inferno of spirit and energy.
"NOW GRYPH! SHOW THEM YOUR WORTH! SPECIAL MOVE! RAGING WING TORNADO ULTIMATE DESTROYER!" I screamed.
A giant Griffon erupted out of Gryph. The Griffon erupted into millions of blazing red tornados. Arachnid was destroyed, broken into millions of pieces. Veit walked into the room.
"Well then, now the score is 1-0, America" He said disgusted.
I fell to my knees exhausted, very happy, as Urs threw a tantrum like a child...

Chapter 20
The Sacrifice
It was time for my battle, but I had time to upgrade.
"Golem, you ready for a upgrade?" I questioned.
I went and got a Begirados chrome wheel, and made a synchrome. I replaced DF145 with W145, and CF with MF. Then I went ahead and smacked a MSF on it.
"C'mon world come at me and my Goriem Begirados W145MF!" I yelled, with a smile on my face.
I was ready, even if I had my sacrifice myself in battle, I was ready. Ruki and Joey appeared in the doorway.
"You ready Mike?" They said in sync.
"Yes, I think so." I replied.
I walked up to the stadium, and looked into the cold, heartless eyes of Kai Jaeger.
"Kai, you're going down!" I yelled.
She just laughed, and readied her Kurai Siren CH120CF. I took a deep breath.
"3, 2, 1 GOOOOO SHOOT!" We yelled.
Siren took a turn and raced around the stadium. Goriem quickly followed Siren.
"Catch up Goriem!" I yelled hitting Siren from behind.
"Siren Make a cut in his soul!" yelled Kai.
Siren made a vertical strike into Golem. Then, both beys clashed head-on causing a giant gust of wind.
"Ah! This match is intense!" Joey said.
Siren and Golem kept on clashing.
"Siren! Dark Push Technique!" yelled Kai.
"Aha! The Dark Push Technique is Kai's specialty, you are done for!" yelled Veit.
Goriem was pushed to the very edge of the stadium.
"Turn it around Goriem!" I yelled.
Goriem took a sharp turn, now Siren was the one on the edge.
"Ha! I'll destroy you even sooner now! Dark Push Again!" said Kai.
Siren pushed Goriem into the stadium wall, slowly draining Goriem's spin.
"STOP IT!" I yelled.
Goriem launched Siren into the air. Siren went into the center of the stadium. I was very angered, and so was Kai.
"DIIIEEEEE!" yelled Kai
Siren bashed into Goriem with extreme force, putting a dent in the Goriem wheel.
"SPECIAL MOVE! DARK RAGING MURDER!" yelled Kai
"AHHHHHHHHHHH!" I yelled.
My green aura was turning a bright red, that blazed with so much power and spirit!
"AHHHHHH! ANCIENT HARUMAGEDON STRIKER!" I yelled.
Siren did not bash into Goriem, but me. Siren hit me in the stomach, as Goriem bashed Siren away. Goriem bashed Siren into pieces, and Kai was bashed into the wall, leaving a bloody mark on her black jump-suit.
My stomach was bleeding very badly, I could see the light.
The last thing I saw before everything went black was Ruki and Joey running towards me, tears in their eyes.
I muttered in my last breath;
"Show the rest of the world your power friends, I believe in you, I w-will a-lways b-b-be with yo-"
Every thing black instantly, as I wondered "Heaven or hell, where will I go?"
...
The End, of Mike's Journey

I was ready for my battle. But first I visted Mike in the hospital. I entered the building and went up to his room. He was sleeping. I stared at his limp body. I remembered after Mike got struck.
Entering Flashback
I ran towards Mike, who was mumbling as blood flowed out of his chest.
"MIKE!" I yelled.
Ruki ran for Kai who had Lucy by the neck. Kai had a crazy look in her eye.
"If I die, SHE DIES!" Kai cackled.
Ruki threw a swift kick to Kai's gut, loosening Kai's grip. Then, he quickly took Lucy by the hand and ran away. I took off my shirt to patch up Mike's gaping wound.
Then, I heard an ambulance outside.
Two men but Mike on gurney and took him away.
Exiting Flashback
A tear escaped my eye. Mike's eyes slowly opened.
"Joey? Is that you?" he questioned.
I gasped.
"Yeah it is!" I exclaimed.
"Oh, before the medicine kicks in, I have to tell you something."
"What?"
"Ya know Shadow? Kill that damn bitc-" he said as he fell back asleep.
I knew I was ready for battle. But first I had to give Reviser one little update. I took off Saramanda and replaced it with Reviser, and but a MSF-H on it.
I ran to the Dark Nova Association building. I ran to the stadium where Shadow was waiting for me.
"Shadow, you are my obstacle to face the current grand champion team! Perpare to be vanquished by The Vanquisher's team leader!" I yelled holding up Reviser.
Shadow smirked.
"You will be a formiddable opponent, to be consumed by darkness, ha!" he siad.
I gritted my teeth as the countdown began.
"3, 2, 1 GOOOO SHOOT!" we yelled.
Dragooon and Reviser clashed head-on, sparks flying everywhere.
I flinched, and so did Shadow.
I knew this was going to be a tough battle...
