Serenade was about to end it all when he heard the bell ring, a announcer appear before him, and a force that ceased all action. Perhaps it was time manipulation, or perhaps it was just one those things that you just can't explain but Serenade was not able to finish his attack. The announcer moved out of the way and with a hesitant demenor announced the winner which was the golden warrior. Cheers and boos both radiated from the crowd as Serenade landed and teleported in front of the Capt. as the short warrior spoke, [glow=black,2,300]"You are one of the coolest guys I have ever seen! The way you used that shield and the grenades and the patriot missle finale, oh man was that AWESOME! That was so much fun!"[/glow] Serenade sounded more one of the Capt.'s many younger fans than the fierce warrior that had presented himself in the heat of battle. The child androids eyes were bright with admiration as he hoped around doing backflips and other nonsensical moves before he settled down and spoke again, [glow=black,2,300] I hope we fight again because I don't think that I will ever have as much fun as I did this day.[/glow] Wtih that Serenade simple walked his merry way to his quarters.
The Captain watched Serenade dodge missile after missile. No matter how much power he threw his way, Serenade came back with more. The android weaved between the missiles and was about to deliver a crushing kick that Captain Generica knew he couldn't block in time. But he threw his arms out in front of his face by instinct and closed his eyes, waiting for the pain.
When he heard a bell ring he thought it was in his head. He thought he'd been knocked out and was dreaming. Blinding light flooded through the corners of his eyes and he though he was in heaven, then he heard the words, "THE WINNER!!" His eyes shot open and the corners of his mouth started to spread open, "SERENADE!!!"
"AH! I'M DREAMING!!"
The announcer wisely ran away. Captain Generica stood frozen for a moment, stuck in a trance, still wondering if what was happening was real. His body was petrified, but his mind was firing off millions of thoughts at once. Serenade was saying something to him, but he couldn't hear him over the roar of the crowd, and the roar of his own mind. Finally, Serenade started to walk away.
"Hey, kid, wait up."
He came out of his frozen stance and stood up straight and tall, and walked confidently towards him. He grabbed Serenade's hand and threw it up into the air, victoriously, "YeeeeEEEEAAAAHHHH!!!! Let's hear it for the kid!!!"
The celebration for the two fighters sent tremors through the city. Even when the Captain let Serenade walk out of the ring and back to his quarters the party continued. The Cap ordered the shield to be taken down and people flooded the ring. Everyone knew that this was the end of an era; one generation was passing away and a new generation was beginning. Even though he lost the match, for one last moment, Captain Generica was the World's Champion. They carried him on their shoulders and he rode the wave around the entire arena. Finally, he flew up into the air and gave everyone a last wave before disappearing into the sky.
