(Continuing right after part 7) Saitonia: *time is slowed as thoughts race through his head*. “I saw it right there....Cell dying, Shrek then turning back to Ben and I....killing both of us......there has to be a way to change fate here, it can’t end like this.” (Time goes back to normal and Shrek unleashes the explosion charged up by his horn. Dark matter engulfs all the fire in the room and stopping the explosion from hitting cell-3) Cell-3: *coughing*. “What happened?!” (As the dust settles, Saitonia is seen with a hollow mask on his face but no horn, a long sword in his hand that is lit with dark light, and a dark cape wrapped around him) Saitonia: *takes off his mask*. “.....I wasn’t expecting this, I thought I would need to go above the sky to find my strength like the voices said..” Cell-3: *pulls out the bone sword from his chest and backs up to where Ben is at*. “I think I’ll be ok” Shrek: *staring at Saitonia*. “......” Saitonia: *looks at Shrek*. “I’m not sure if you can be saved at this point Shrek, but I will try” Shrek: *dark and deep voice of a hollow*. “Spare me your weak words, nothing can compare with my power, I am the strongest hollow” Saitonia: “so, you can actually speak? That doesn’t sound like the voice of Shrek however.” Shrek: *silent*. “.....” (Saitonia takes a stance with his sword and charges up his blade, he shoots towards Shrek with his sword pointed forward. The speed at which Saitonia reaches Shrek is above Shrek’s reaction time and Saitonia is able to stab him in the shoulder. Shrek plants his sword into the ground and backhands Saitonia, sending him tumbling across the floor) Saitonia: *wipes his face*. “That didn’t hurt.....it actually did” (Saitonia teleports next to Shrek, cutting him across his side. Shrek grabs his sword and lunges for Saitonia but he has already teleported into a different spot, Continuing to cut Shrek) Shrek: *reacts in half a second and grabs Saitonia’s sword*. “Your fighting style......it might be fast and accurate but it’s nothing compared to ultimate destruction” Saitonia: “if you are so much stronger.....why are we still fighting?” Shrek: “heheh......” (Saitonia breaks free from Shrek’s hold and focuses on defense. Shrek tosses his sword to the ground and extends his claws on his right hand. Shrek super jumps towards Saitonia and grabs him, smashing him into a pillar. Saitonia teleports out of the hold and goes for Shrek’s back, Shrek reacts and kicks Saitonia’s sword out of his hand. Shrek slams into Saitonia with his full body force, pushing Sai back) Saitonia: *tired*. “Damn you Shrek....” Shrek: “....” Saitonia: “I am....truly sorry it had to come to this” Shrek: *sarcasm*. “Yes, I am as well” (Saitonia creates a dark orb in his hand, he throws the orb at Shrek and hits him in the chest, blowing the armor off. Shrek holds his chest as he begins to freak out, steaming with anger. The horn on his head grows larger as his power escalates to a new level) Saitonia: “shit, that’s not good” (Shrek jumps up into the air and charges his body with all his damage output, planning to nuke the area in a fiery explosion. Saitonia quickly reacts and jumps into Shrek, crashing through the ceiling of the citadel and into the sky. The massive explosion goes off in the sky above the citadel, Saitonia was able to block the blast since his power is almost equal to Shrek) Shrek: *floating in the sky*. “You just won’t except your fate will you?” Saitonia: “my fate is not set, I won’t allow you to do any more harm to the others.” Shrek: “look at you, such weak words, fighting a losing battle so that maybe your friends can escape” Saitonia: “they are your friends Shrek, not just mine” Shrek: “enough! Die already!” (Shrek points his dark metal hand at Saitonia and shoots off a large fire beam at him, Saitonia realizes the citadel is below him and decides to try and erase the beam. The beams power is way to strong and hits Saitonia, sending him crashing into the roof of the citadel.) Saitonia: *wipes his face*. “If only I knew the full potential of my powers...” Shrek: “I hope you are prepared, you think I will be the only hollow to awaken? Chances are, more will awaken just like me from the others you are so dearly trying to protect” Saitonia: “no....I don’t believe you!” Shrek: “just wait and see, all hollows are very similar, they will be just like me. It will be such a pleasure for me to kill them all in battle” Saitonia: “no one is going to get killed....not anymore” Shrek: “well, just not while you are here, but once you die....” (Saitonia jumps off the roof of the citadel, he pulls Shrek towards him with extreme force and punches him in the face, cracking the air with the punch and also cracking Shreks mask) Shrek: *touching the crack on his mask*. “.....” (Shrek opens his mouth and charges up a strange looking bomb from his mouth, he roars as he launches the bomb towards Saitonia. Saitonia points his sword at the bomb and sucks it into the sword, reversing the direction of the bomb back at Shrek) Shrek: *realizes what just happened*. “Oh..” (The bomb hits Shrek and shatters all his armor and his mask. His hollow form fades away as he falls out of the sky towards the citadel. Saitonia jumps for Shrek and catches him to see if he is still alive) Saitonia: “Shrek! Are you ok?” Shrek: *unconscious*. “.....” Saitonia: “he won’t be the same after this...” (Saitonia goes back down to where cell-3, Ben, and Robo are at) Cell-3: “is he ok Sai?” Saitonia: “I’m not sure right now honestly, we will have to wait for him to wake up” Ben10Howard: “he’s gonna be so mad at himself” Robo Owl: *tending to his wounds*. “.....” Saitonia: “any sign of the others Ben?” Ben10Howard: “nah, we are gonna have to go look for them” Saitonia: “rest first, we will need to make it quick though” (Everyone agrees. End of part 8)[spoiler]if you were wondering why the Shrek fight was so damn long, I wanted it to be really long lol[/spoiler]
