Dark Knight laughed, cocking the ARM in which she held. It basicly looked like a smaller, handheld version of the Hand Cannon, which was pretty small itself, but it packed an even harder punch as Zed just found out. She stood at the top of a small, straight flight of stairs, having the advantage of clear visage of the five Dream Chasers.

Dark Knight was wearing her armor this time, as if she had known that the Dream Chasers would show up. "Do you like my new ARM?" she asked with an evil grin, "It's called the Single Shot. ‘Course none of you will be alive long enough for it to matter!!" With that, Dark Knight leapt down the stairs, planting a hard kick square in Rudy's chest, knocking the breath out of the Holmcross. Rudy went flying across the room, his back slamming into one of the metal walls.

Dark Knight then whirled around and started firing upon the other four Dream Chasers, never hitting any of them, but grazing them every now and then. She took a cartridge of some sort from her belt not long after she started firing just as a similar cartridge slid out of the handle of her ARM. She quickly replaced the cartridge with the one from her belt and began firing again.

Boomerang finally managed to sneak behind her and hit her with his attack the Boomerang Dynamic, accidentally forgetting about the ‘connection' between the clone and Noble Knight. Dark Knight shrieked from surprise more than pain as she flew across the room, her back slamming against a pillar. The remains of what had been a security generator fell on her head. "OwowowowowOW!!" she yelled.

When Boomerang finally remembered the connection, his gaze flew to Noble Knight who appeared to have not felt any of his blows against Dark Knight. What the?! Boomerang thought, She...didn't feel it?!?!

Dark Knight slowly climbed to her feet, glared at Boomerang, and growled, "That was a baaad move! Now I'm PISSED!!!!"

Boomerang barely had time to cry out when Dark Knight suddenly lept into the air and drop-kicked him. Dark Knight yelled to the last four remaining Zoa Ziens, "Kill ‘em! I'll take care of Visor Vision, here!!" She locked and loaded her Single Shot ARM and aimed at Boomerang. As she fired, Boomerang back-flipped out of the way. As a response, Boomerang attacked the clone with his attack the Crescent Fang. Once again, Dark Knight flew backwards and into a pillar.

"Oh, please..." came a hauntingly familiar voice, "Let me show you how it's done, DK!"

Zed, who was on the stairway fighting off one of the four Zoa Ziens, whirled around just to receive a horrible pain across his chest. Caught by surprise, Zed fell backwards and down the stairs, the Doom Bringer sliding across the metal floor. When he hit the solid floor, Zed looked down at his chest and gasped, only to receive a sharp, stab of pain. There was a long gash along his chest from which blood was already pouring out. The green-haired warrior looked back to the top of the stairs and saw his attacker.

His own clone, Dazer.

Dazer laughed and slowly made his way down the stairway toward Zed. The Zoa Zien that Zed had been fighting leaped off of the stairway and attacked Elmina. Dazer placed the tip of his sword right on Zed's throat. Zed was helpless. He could barely move from the pain in his shoulder and his chest. Dazer laughed, "Hard to believe, isn't it? A warrior like me actually came from the knowledge of a weakling like you."

Immobilized, all Zed could do was watch in horror as Dazer lifted his sword up, over his head and brought it back down, aiming for Zed's neck with the intention of giving the green- haired swordsman the exact same fate as he had given Mother.
