2022 Strider A.D. Phase 06

Episode VI: Strider's Peak Awakening

Night [thinking]: Daddy's new look is much sexier than his normal form. When could he do this?

That was Night's reaction to finding out Strider bypassed super form to something so mysterious. Alas, with help from the spirit of Mist, Strider acieved his peak form.

Strider [smirking]: You HAVE grown over the years.

Night [blushing/ embarassed]: HEY! That's not funny, dad!!

Monster: GAH!! You can't be Strider. Your power is too immense!

Strider: Hmph, tough! YOU wanted to defeat me? Well, HERE I AM!!!

Monster: You cur! I'LL SEND YOUR FUCKING ASS TO HELL!!!!

Try as he might, the creaure couldn't match Strider's speed. Just then...

Strider: How pathetic. You expect to kill ME?! You're nothing but a half-ass excuse of a baddie!

Monster: Why you son-of-a... (grabs Night) Give up or this bitch is wasted!!

Strider: WTF? Guess he leaves me no choice.... (Jumps spins and pummels in a ball) BLAZE SPHERE!!!

The fiery sphere incinerates the alien creature, freeing Night once more in the progress. When the rest of the crew finally arrive, they briefly saw the new Strider, just before he reverted to his normal self.

Dawn: Baby? Are you alright?

Strider: Yeah, just... a little worn out... from transforming...

Soon Strider collapses to the floor, passing out. Dawm rushes to him, helping him to her room. During the time, Strider yet again fell into another dream.

{DREAMING}

Strider: MIST! MIIISSTT!!!!!

Mist: You've unlocked your peak transformation: The Ultimate Form. I only wish I had the eyes to see, as well as a body to test you out. But when a new legend is born, one must die I suppose. And my time was soon approaching anyway. Your time is now. Carve the peace you seek in life....

As he woke, he found himself on Dawn's bed [technically THEIR bed]. They all seemed to smile as they were made aware of his final transformation, and how this new form saved Night. That night Dawn got up from sleep, only to see her husband gathering data.

Dawn: Strider, honey? You up this late?

Strider: Believe it or not, I feel a bit uneasy. Ever since I was told Armageddon lives, I wanted to finish him off while he's still weak. But there's no reading of him anywhere!! I can't wait until he is finally killed!

Dawn: He will die. You're the only one strong enough to fight him. But you're never alone. You got me, our daughter, and the Unity behind you all the way. We will put an end to this. Besides, the Strider I married didn't get scared this easily.

After her reassuring words, Strider kissed his wife on the cheek, now that his confidence is restored.

Strider: Thanks, honey. Alright then, I'm gone.

Dawn: Wait for me!

They rest while elswhere, Armageddon devises something sinister. What is he planning to do?
