After the return of Zuk, many questions have aroused. “So, Joe what is the instantanous teleport.” asked Bastedo. “Well it’s like this. Here Sean go walk over to that guard tower over there.” Sean did so and stood there waiting. “Now watch this.” Zuk said. He placed two fingers on his forehead and concentrated his energy to one spot and in a blur he disappeared. Then he appeared next to Sean.

Everyone was impressed, yet confused. “How is that accomplished?” asked Calabro. “Well it’s like this, I can trace people’s body strength and average distance. With that in mind I can take my own body energy and move it next to that person, taking my body with it.” answered Joe. Everyone clapped again, very proud of the antics of their hero. But a lot of attention was drawn to that youth that appeared. “Zuk, didya know that this kid can change into a Super Scholar...I never saw him before.” said Philibuster. Zuk turned to the youth, “What’s your name, buddy.” he asked, “I can’t tell you my real name, or controversy may start. But I can tell you that my nickname is....Dick.” Richard answered. “O...k....right, well glad to meet you, Dick. I am...” Zuk was cut off. “I know, Zuk, who you are.” Richard sharply cut him midsentence. Right, as Zuk turned and walked away from him, Richard burst in a Super Scholar and withdrew his Kitanna and charged at Zuk. Zuk senced the increase of power behind him and turned around and grabbed the blade with his hands. “Nice try...although I am impressed you can change into a Super Scholar. Why are you here?”

Richard sat down on the ground as everyone huddled around him. “I am from the future, thats why my identity is a secret. I came here to warn you of Super Clones, much stronger then all of you will come ayear from now and kill you all.” Stephanie got up, “No we won’t, Z would be here to kick their asses.” she said. “Zuk didn’t fight, he died of natural cause. He will have a nasty asthma attack and it will kill him. Because of this, Joe can’t fuse to be strong enough to fight. Brian couldn’t fuse with him, because he couldn’t do the fusion dance corretly and they both failed. Joe was then killed, but Brian escaped. Mike was killed by Joe the Strong, his shotgun was nothing to that armor he wore. Miss Stephanie was captured, then locked up, and I never heard from her again. Mr. Sean was very helpful in the fight, but his arms were ripped off and were tied to the sides of his truck, which was ran off a cliff. Everyone else survived. Barely, only Brian, and the girls lived through all of this. Then I was born, and I was taught to fight. My destiny is to destroy these Super Clones.

Zuk stepped forward. “I understand what will happen, and so we all must prepare for this Arrival. I have permission to visit a magical training room in heaven that can allow me to get stronger in a short period of time. But because the powers above allow only three individuals at once, we shall train seperately and then each of us may visit the room later on, so we all get a chance.”

Everyone agreed. That day they all as split up and each of them found suitable areas to practice their skills. Zuk, Philibuster, and Richard flew off to be first in the magical room in the heavens. The Room of Spirit and Time. Flying high toward the sky they found a floating palace. A gold palace with architecture similar to Arabian style. Upon landing in the coutyard, Zuk stepped forward as well as the others followed. Inside the magnificent palace was large corridors and such, but straight ahead, led to the room they seek. When they got the room, a figure appeared across the hallway near them. It was Kaio, “Hey Zuk, what’s going on? I am just visiting Kaiosama Lookout for any happenings.” said Kaio upon greeting the fighters. “Well, Kaio. It appears that some grave future is in store for us. It seems some Super Clones are being processed as we know it and when they are awaken they will be stronger then all of us put together. So I ask of you for permission to train for 3 days in the Room of Spirit and Time.” Kaio nodded his head and motioned them to enter the magnificent room. Inside was a large pendulum above them, slowly swinging. “This is the most important room in the entire planet. It controls the time management and contains a timeline of events that occured and can be recreated. If someone wishes to become stronger, then you must then fight over stronger opponents which have already been deceased and will be stronger then you. Upon defeating each obstacle each day. You will gain experience and skill enhance equal to training off by yourself for one standard year.” Everyone nodded and proceeded to stand below the large pendulem, Kaio spoke again. “This pendulem when activated will transport you to a place in time. But you are only spiritualy there, so if you perish in battle. You will only be brought back here. OK, here goes nothing.” Kaio pulled a lever and the pendulem swung faster and faster. A bolt of lightning sped to the crew and struck them, where they were all taken to their destinations.

After the spark, Richard found himself in a large forest. “Hmmm, this looks familar.” He wandered around a little bit. Wearing his Karate Gi, and arming his kitana, he explored the ship. He reached large field with some hills. He walked a few steps to see what he was up against, when a sound shot the silence of the forest creatures. A large fireball flared up and searched out for Richard. He jumped in the air and shoot smaller fireballs at it to blow it up with ease. He landed and turned and looked above him. There the figure landed, “Hello, Richard, how are you doing. I think it’s time to die.” It was Brian, his father. All the lost memories of that time, when Brian’s mind was corrupted from the clones and created Majin (Evil) Brian. Brian clenched his fists and burst into a Super Scholar. “So, you think you can try to hurt me again. You are too weak to battle me and win.” he said. Richard was afraid that he would have to battle his father and maybe lose. But he couldn’t, even though that pychological concept that Richard didn’t want to fight Brian, because he was his father, the one that cared for him, and helped him...and saved him. “Your not my father, you are Majin Brian and must....DIE!” he shouted as his anger kicked in and transformed Richard into his Super Scholar power up.

Richard flew toward Majin Brian and attempted a hard punch. But the evil one blocked with his elbow with ease and stepped back. Richard punched again, again it was blocked. Then he quickened the pace of his punches. In whirls of punchs and even kicks, Richard was not gaining any advantage in this fight. Both fighters had their “chi” powered up in a flame around them. Even that was battling, Brian’s “chi” was ramming into Richard’s. It was waving around like wild fire. Then Majin Brian socked Richard in the stomach which sent him flying and smashing into a tree. Shaking his head after seeing stars, he drew his sword and charged right at his father.

Tune in next episode as Richard continues to battle his father. The trials of pain that he follows of having to fight in deadly combat against the one he lowves the most. All this and more as the saga of the Super Clones and Richard unfolds even more. Next time in episode XVII, Calabro Fighters Unite!
