QUARTERFINALS

Dracatron vs. Ezekiel

"What did he mean?" Fury asked G64.  G64 just stared in front of him, as if in a trance.  "I... I don't know."  The voice of the announcer turned all of their heads.

"All right folks, now for the second half of the Quarterfinals!  Dracatron vs. Ezekiel!  The box is locked, the lights are on, and it's KAIJU FIGHTIN' TIME!!!"  The agents stared at the battlefield.  Dracatron was already in his observation pod, waiting on his opponent.  Suddenly the mysterious Ezekiel entered his pod.  Both combatants floated into the sky.

Ezekiel stared long and hard at his opponent.  "Before we battle, I want you to answer a few questions."  Drac nodded in approval.  "All right then.  Ask away, Ezekiel, if that IS your real name."  Ezekiel looked bewildered.  "Whom do you work for?"

Drac smiled.  "I work for the greater good of this planet.  The rebellion of nature.  The destruction of humanity.  I am a member of a group known only as... the Garai Tai."  Ezekiel held his hand over his mouth.  "That... that is impossible!  The Garai Tai fell apart many, many years ago!  And besides, are you not the brother of Dragitron?"  Drac laughed.  "You seem to know much, Ezekiel.  But let's see if YOU are telling us the truth."  A dark wind blew over the fighters.  Ezekiel's clothing blew off of him, revealing an entity recognized by only a few.  Drac laughed again.  "Just as I thought.  You are Black16.  The master told me much about you."

Black16 stared hard at Drac.  Meanwhile, Dragitron was at a loss for words.  "Black16... and my brother?  What the hell is going on here?!"  He tried running to the arena, but Fudge and Fury held him back.  "Hold on," G64 said.  "Let's find out what we can before we go rushing into this!"

Black16 asked another question.  "I sense five others like you, both in energy and appearance.  You are a member of the fabled Six Eyes, correct?"  Drac nodded.  "You are indeed perceptive.  Soddom was right to be wary of you.  Unfortunately for your agent friends, he does not feel the same way.  They are expendable."  He looked at Drag.  "I have a present for my brother.  Catch!"  From under his cloak, a shiny object was thrown at Drag.  Black16 disappeared from his pod and reappeared in front of Drag, who had shut his eyes waiting for the inevitable.

The inevitable never happened.  Drag opened his eyes.  An odd dagger was just inches away from his face.  He looked up to see a look of happiness on Drac's face.  "I knew you would do that," he said.  Drag turned back to the dagger.  Black16 had blocked the weapon with his own body.  Black16 slumped to the ground.  His eyes began to flicker, growing dimmer with each passing moment.  Drag dropped to his side in shock.  "No way!  How is this possible?  I thought you were beyond death!"  Black16 let out a small chuckle.  "I am, Drag, but this physical form is not.  As long as I have a body I can speak to you all in this dimension.  Whoever this Soddom is, he knows me well.  Beware of the Garai Tai.  They are not to be taken lightly.  If you want to know more, read the Kaiju Scrolls.  I hope you can figure out a way to stop them before it's too late.  We will meet again, but I must first create a new form."  His body began to fade away.  "Goodbye for now, agents."

The crowd fell silent.  Even the announcer was in a somber mood.  "It looks like Dracatron advances to the Semifinals.  Let's take a fifteen minute break."  Drag, Fury, G64, Fudge, and Awsome 1 stared angrily at Dracatron.  The villain stared back.  He let out a loud, booming laugh.  His eyes burned a fiery red as he called out to Drag in an odd voice.  "Soon it will be your turn to join me in hell, Dragitron!"  With a poof Dracatron disappeared.  GWB ran towards his friends.  "Did you guys notice anything familiar about that voice?"  Drag got up and shook his head.  "Yep.  It was our old buddy Corpsefire."  G64 looked surprised.  "How is that possible?" he asked.  Drag answered him.  "I don't know, but if he's messing with my family, he'll have to go through Me.
