This was edited numerous amounts of times. NUMEROUS amounts. Things were deleted, restarted from scratch, too many words, ect. Sorry for delay! Next chapter will come tomorrow morning.
"PRIMAL UNLEASHED….UNIVERSAL
POWEEER!!!!" Opal's roar almost shattered the indestructible deminsion. Colt, Widow, Rogue, and Flow were all launched back into deep space. Rogue quickly used his chains to catch everyone and keep them from floating away.
"Hang on!!!" Rogue yelled.
(I can't use my full power. It'll cause harm to the others. I think the same could be said with Colt. Elizabeth should see the trail, and find the gate to leave! I'm almost positive Opal's transformation just canceled out the affect, but I believe in her eyes!) Flow thought as he looked down to see a universal-colored Opal standing with white aura on a glass platform. "His power had increased dramatically! This is…this is something I'm looking forward to!" Rogue said excitedly. Opal pointed towards the group. "Universal…torn ruins!" A white line of energy shot out towards the group. Colt barely moved his head as he was cut in the right side of his face. Flow looked to his left to see Jack and the frost clan fighting each other inside of the cube. "IDIOTS!!! HELP US WITH THE REAL THREAT!!!" Flow yelled in a demonic voice. Jack and the entire frost clan looked over at the group. "Go screw yourself…FLOW!!!" Jack yelled out as he created an ice platform for the four to land. "We will deal with you later, boy! You're still on the clans wanted list!" Blizzard yelled.
"Look foward to it." Jack and the clan created lines of ice that they skated on across space to reach the group. "The numbers aren't looking good, Opal. We've finally come together to take you down."
"Only a few hundred? Rogue, that's nothing." Opal said in a firm tone. "I am a warrior. I true warrior acts alone! Doesn't rely on anyone else. You people…are nothing but prey who's waiting to be eaten!!!" Opal yelled as he dove straight at the four.
(His power has increased too much. We can't fight this…we have to-) Widow was in the middle of thinking, but Opal hit the ice platform, shattering it. Widow caught her sword in the air and prepared to attack. "Wind attack: Soaring skies!!" The entire area lit up. Opal smirked and held out his hand. "Seering…cut."
Colt quincly tried to stop time itself, but it was as if Opal had surpassed the speed of time. A slash cracked open that time reality for only a moment, and in that moment…Widow's left arm was completely severed.
Flow quickly followed after Opal. Rogue also jumped off and followed. Opal flew directly at the clan and Jack. "Get ready!!" Blizzard announced to his clan. Opal came crashing down, running at the clan now. Opal jumped up and grabbed a woman by her hair and launched her into a crowd of soldiers, killing them on impact. A tall man swung his sword. Opal blocked it with his arm and punched through the soldier. "You're so…weak." Opal sighed as he pulled the man's heart out. "Trembling chains!" The chains from Rogue came in all directions. Each with enough force to slice a mountain down. Opal dodged easily and tried to land, but before he could, Flow had already had his sword at the beast's neck. Opal flipped in mid-air, avoiding his sword. Opal wrapped his legs around Flow and pointed at him with a gun sign. "Plasma canon…"
"Oh, shi-"
"UNIVERSAL EXPLOSION!!!!"
The space went green. Colt had stopped time once again and moved Flow away from Opal. (That was close…it's a good thing-)
"Idiot." Opal sighed as he appeared beside Colt. Colt pushed Opal away with his aura. Opal responded by twisting his body and throwing a kick at him. Colt managed to block it, but was sent flying downward. "Time attack: Reality bending gap!!" Colt's entire body had disappeared completely. Opal closed his eyes and concentrated. (Focus…on his energy. Even if it is….impossible to read!!) Opal spun around and grabbed Colt by his arm, effectively avoiding his punch. Opal sent out a karate chop towards Colt's midsection, trying to slice him in half. Colt grabbed Opal's hand and stopped it. (This boy…) Opal thought as Colt slapped him, making the beast stumble. Opal raised his knee, trying to drive it into Colt's stomach. Colt held his hand down and flat to block Opal's knee. Opal quickly responded by throwing a jab and a sharp right hook. Colt was knocked back a few feet before Opal closed the distance to land a kick on Colt's head. Before Colt could pass out, he reveresed the injury that was sustained to him head. "You're hold back!! Fight with all you've got, COLT!!!" Opal roared as he squated low and punched Colt away and through his own time realm. Reality snapped back as the two were now back in space.
Flow looked around confused. (Colt? He saved my life….Colt saved my life?!)
Rogue used his chains to pull Flow back into the fight. It was hard for the Akies to control their flight when leaving the battle. Due to the large amounts of aura, they were able to fly comfortably when near the fight. However, if they were to somehow get separated from the battle, they would drift off into the infinite space…dying alone and in the dark for all of eternity.
"You're in the way, devil!" Jack announced as he clapped his hands together. "Frost attack: towering glaciers!!"
"Frost attack: ice Golem!!" Sleet yelled.
Opal was surprised to see a massive goldem and hundreds of glaciers falling from above it. Opal slammed his foot onto the platform and smiled. "Universal…punch." Everything turned white. Jack and Sleet were tossed off of the platform. (What's going on? I can't see or sense a damn thing!) Sleet thought as she felt a chain wrap around her body and pulling her back into the fight.
Opal noticed Rogue was being stationary. Rogue was focusing soiling on not allowing anyone to be tossed into darkness. Opal also noticed Colt had followed Rogue's lead, also deciding to stay stationary and focused on reversing everyone's injuries. (I can't even kill anyone…even if I wanted to. Should I not focus on the dragon? In that case, the line will reach the gateway, revealing its location for the full duration of the fight! I'll have to throw all of the counters to Flow's dragon out of the window, and fully place a new rule souls on their abilities and techniques! However, I'll have to end the fight before the dimension comes crashing down completely. Very well…let's have some fun!)
Opal pointed into the air and quickly clapped his hands together. "Immense: erase and add new." The beast growled. Immediately, Colt and Rogue felt their energies being drained at an extreme level once they used their abilities and aura.
Flow could feel the shift of energy throughout the whole area. (Did he…stop trying to counter the heads?! That must mean…that he's focused all of his rules and energy towards stopping us from using our own abilities and aura!)
"Rogue! Colt! Stop using your abilities or you'll die-"
Opal punched Flow in the face, sending him crashing through the platform. Flow quickly flexed his entire body to stop himself from being lot in space.
The beast immediately ran into the crowd of frost clan soldiers. Sleet tuned around, locking eyes with the beast. "BEHIND-"
"Universal attack: ALL OUT BARRAGE!!!"
It was as if Opal wasn't moving. Soldiers all around him popped like balloons, their blood shooting everywhere. The beast was throwing punches so accurately and fast, not even a single akie could track his movements. Sleet quickly acted, using her aura to stop as much damage as possible. Her arm was removed from her body from the powerful force of Opal's blows. (That woman…she thought quickly. If she hadn't used her aura to protect her body, she would've lost more than a weak arm). Opal thought as he looked up at Jack. "Universal attack: Needling Pierce shot!"
"Frost attack: Ice needle barrage!!"
White lines collided with Jack's ice sickles.ome of Opal's lines had broken through Jack's defenses…hitting the akie on his left shoulder. Blood shot out as Jack used his frost abilities to cover the wound.
(Even right now…at this very moment, for the first time…everyone around the whole wild is feeling and seeing the exact sam thing! If I can't live for them…then I have no right to have my eyes!) Jack thought as memories flooded in.
I knew…I could never reach the level Frost had. I needed the king's eyes! I needed his fathers eyes to reach my very full potential! When it comes down to who's more cold…Frost wins. But thanks to some intense training…I…Jack Frost…can say without a doubt in my mind…that I can freeze the air itself and control it. Unlike Frost, who's eyes are so powerful and perfect, if he were to remove his blindfold, the entire universe would enter the ice age itsel!
Jack closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He opened his eyes to reveal them glowing brightly. Ice began to spread around him and it kept on expanding.
"The eternal ice! Fascinating!! You're starting to peak my interest, Jack Frost!!" Opal laughed as Blizzard teleported behind him. Blizzard swung his axe, trying to go for the beast's neck. Opal used a single finger to stop his motion. "Weak. You should implement your aura into the axe." Opal sighed as he punched Blizzard in the stomach. Blizzard took this opportunity to grab Opal, squeezing the beast tightly. "DO IT!!!" Blizzard yelled. Colt and Widow came flying down, their auras colliding as the two brought their swords together and swung it at Opal's neck.
It was like trying to cut through the universe itself. An impossible feat no one present here could accomplish. Both their weapons snapped on impact. Opal broke free from Blizzard's grasped, kicking the massive akie into Sleet. Opal spun and grabbed Widow and Cold by their neck. He pinned them to the ground as his eyes began to glow bright.
(Eye beams?!) Widow thought. A chain hit Opal across the face, knocking the beast off of the two. Opal rolled across the platform until he spun and caught himself. Opal lifted his head to see an ice-covered fist headed towards him. Opal di a backflip to a voice the deadly uppercut.
"Ice attack:flowing fist!" Blue aura collided with Opal's black body. Blue holes were left from each blow. Opal grabbed Jack by the head and pushed him to the side. Opal threw a kick with his left leg. Jack caught his leg and twisted underneath it to use the momentum to try and land another uppercut.
Opal leaned his head to the side to avoid the fist. Opal and Jack were tangled up for a moment, but the two of them separated quickly.
"Universal…PUNCH!!"
"Frost attack: Frost guardian!!"
The two auras collided, making a massive explosion that blew away some of the frost clan's warriors.
"Don't let up!" Blizzard yelled as he and Sleet also joined Jack in his assault. Blizzard swung his axe, as Sleet used her ice sword to try and stab the beast. Opal laughed as the three of them couldn't land a strike on the beast. It was as if Opal was having…fun. Not truly taking this battle seriously. Opal and the three more across the platform with great speed. The three of them tried to land a hit, but Opal was moving so swift an quick.
Opal found an opening and tried to punch Sleet in her chest. His body was frozen. (Stick in time!? A time lag?!) Opal moved his eyes upward to see Colt holding out both his hands. (Even with the limit I've placed on his body, he shouldn't have- that's right…Colt has infinite aura! However, the toll will destroy his body if he keeps using his power inside of here.)
Colt's eyes teared up, as blood poured from them. "Hit him with all you've got!! Do it, Mr. BLIZZARD!!!" Colt yelled. A massive shadow came from behind Opal. "Expansion!!"
"What an idiotic attempt." Opal sighed. Opal quickly spun around and jabbing through Blizzard's chest.
"BLIZZARD!!!" Sleet cried. Blizzard looked down and smiled. "What an idiotic…attack! Ice clone!" Blizzard's body stiffened up, as Opal struggled to removed his hand.
Sleet planted her feet an quincly used her ice to protect everyone in the surrounding area. "JACK, FOCUS ON THE PLATFORM!!!!" Sleet yelled over.
"Don't tell me…what to do!!!" Jack yelled as he slammed both his hands down, remaking any of the broken pieces from the platform alsomt instantly.
"Expansion: Absolute freeze!"
The whole area was frozen solid. It was instant and very effective. Blizzard landed onto the ground an approached Opal's dozen body. "What a damn workout. If I can't beat you, then I won't stand a chance in hell against Frost, huh?" Blizzard said as he not stood in front of the beast's frozen body. "Peace out…Opal." Blizzard raised his axe over his head, preparing to deal the finishing blow.
Before Blizzard could do anything else, his nose began to bleed. (What's this?!) he thought as he fell to both his knees.
Blizzard believed he had frozen Opal…however, instinctively, Opal's body had begun to decrease the amount of aura that was in his body and began to release it like a heat wave. Opal punched through the ice and grabbed Blizzard by his neck. "That's right…I placed a rule on every last one of you. If you use your expansions, you better be ready to-"
Colt leaped out and punched Opal across the platform. Blizzard released his Expansion, as he fell to the ground. Opal slid across the platform on both feet. He smiled at Colt and held out a hand. (Still annoying as ever. Colt used his time ability to reverse the affects that everyone else is dealing with. Lucky for me, he can't do the same on others. What a shame…it would've helped the cause greatly!)
"You can't reverse the effects of rules on them? Only yourself?" Opal asked as he rubbed his claws against his body.
Colt didn't answer him. He just walked towards Opal. "I hate killing something that doesn't reach it's potential. I wanna see how you defeated little Crystal. You have yet to show me such power." Opal said. "Time attack: Lunar space."
In only a moment…Colt has managed to travel the great distance and slice open Opal's chest. (Excellent.) Opal thought as Colt reached into his chest, going straight for the heart.
Opal immediately grabbed Colt's hand. "You're awfully slow, Colt!" Opal roared as he punched Colt, knocking him back. But before Colt web away, Opal grabbed him by the shirt and punched him repeatedly before slamming him to the ground.
Widow tried to see what was going on, but from her view, it was as if Colt and Opal were standing completely still.
Colt quickly ripped out of his shirt, as Opal used his aura to create a blade-arm around his hand. Colt pushed the beast back, their shockwaves now spreading across after the delay from their speeds. "Time-"
"No you don't!!" Opal roared as he punched Colt in the stomach, launching him into the air. "Universal attack: Pressure point!!!"
Flow swooped in a grabbed Col before the attack could land. "F-Flow!" Colt yelled as Flow let Colt go. Colt landed and rolled on the ground before running back towards Opal. Widow immediately ran at Opal with her sword tucked at her side. "Wind attack: severing tides!!" Opal had noticed a chain behind Widow, acting like a shield.
"COLT!!!" Opal roared. (He can only reverse the rule based on their abilities…not their expansions or vital abilities. The chains…he has something going on with his left and right arms, but I can tell that ability is no longer in play. He's still using his great control of aura to move and utilize the chains. A being with perfect aura control. In any case…he will run out of energy and tie himself from wielding such lengths!)
Opal's fist collided with Widow's sword. The clashes created a powerful shockwave.
******
Elizabeth could finally see something golden shooting towards her. (The lines!!) the golden line shot past her and stretched out far pm beyond. "Hell yea!!!" Elizabeth laughed as she took off after it.
******
Widow and Opal fought at close range. She managed to block the beas's kicks and punches.
(There's no end! He's not even tired! My breathing is starting to get heavy…my arms are getting heavy…I'm starting…to get tired!)
Widow thought as Opal barley missed his next punch. He scratched Widow on her face. Widow angled her sword in a weird way, flipping it upside down and striking from an angle. Opal twisted his body and dodged the blade. Widow looked up at her right to see Opal's foot in the air, hitting her across the face.
"Demon kick!"
Flow flew in with one leg tucked in an the other out. His leg was surrounded with a fire-like aura. Opal stopped it with one finger before giving Flow a deadly glare. Flow kicked Opal away and flipped off of him. While in the air, he pointed at Opal. "Arise!!" As a hand emerged from the ground and grabbed Opal. "You're doing what Colt is doing. Forget about the lives around you! Show me your true strength!! Why make yourself weaker for your enemies?!" Opal asked as he broke free. "Every life matters! I never liked fighting against other akies to begin with! Humans are a different story, but I've never layed a finger on one. When someone as strong as you comes…we have to work together!" Flow announced.
(You sound just like someone…that I hated!) Opal thought. Opal dashed at Flow, drilling his knee into him. "But if you don't fight with all you've got, YOU'LL be the one to die!" Opal put his hands together and slammed them down on Flow's back. Causing him to fall through the platform, having him fall in deep space.
A chain snatched him up and swung him back onto the platform. (So…Rogue still wants to play his role? Colt is also still doing it. Don't they know that it'll kill them overtime? The more they use their abilities…the more their insides take damage!)
Widow and Sleet appeared behold Opal, grabbing the beast's two legs and keeping him grounded. Opal looked up to be met with an elbow from Jack. Jack quickly flipped off of Opal's face, as Blizzard came in an drop-kicked Opal in the face.
(Even with my spells…they continue to still do it. No matter….at the rate Rogue and Colt are going…they'll die.)
Opal bit down on the should of Blizzard. "You mother-"
Opal launched him into the air; kicking Sleet and Widow off of him. Opal squated down. "Universal pu-"
"Time attack: time hole!"
A large black hole opened up right bedise Opal. Flow came flying in through the hole, slicing Opal's stomach. Opal's wound had healed instantly.
He looked around and noticed that everyone was gone. "What the-"
Suddenly, there was a kick on his back. Opal spun around and roared to find no one. Hundreds of holes opened around Opal. It was like flashes of white light, as everyone involved in the battle traveled through them, landing blows on Opal.
"ENOUGH!!!" Opal pushed all of his aura out into the area, destroying the holes and forcing everyone to fall. Opal stood alone on the opposite side of the platform, while the remaining frost clan, Sleet, Jack, Blizzard, Colt, Widow, Flow, and Rogue were all standing together on the opposite.
"There's no en to his energy. Not sure if you guys can tell it or not." Blizzard said.
"Of course. It's fascinating! Who knew someone could even be this strong!!" Jack laughed.
"Focus! Our enemy has a weakness…the damn dimension itself!! We're waiting on that girl to find the gate and destroy it from the outside if she's strong enough." Rogue said.
"In the meantime…we simply have to keep holding him off or survive his onslaught. Opal's having fun…he hasn't even started to take this battle seriously." Flow said.
"Yeah. What a shame…making us look weak." Widow added as she snapped her hand back in place.
"That's the beauty in it," Opal began. "I'm actually…grateful for such an opponent to be tossed my way." Rogue said as he stood up straight.
"Colt…you can reverse the damages done to yourself, but not us. Opal has placed some sort of rule down. That means, from this point on…everyone needs to be careful."
******
(I bet I could kill her right now. She is…after all…sleeping). Summer thought as she looked over to see Tank standing near. "You do know…I can read your thoughts..right?"
"Tsk."
"You truly are…an angry being. Why do you have such emotions towards my young master?"
"Adisa? Ahahaha!!! Just look!!" Summer began as she stood up and pointed at the stonified area. "Everything that is happening…is because…he exist. Because he's alive! Because-"
"Of what his father did to the gods." Tank interrupted. "Huh?" Summer gasped as Tank sat down and leaned his massive head against a tree. "That story you've all been told throughout your history…Adisa's father…defied the gods. People now label my master as some evil being…simply because someone lived inside of him. You believe your life is bad because of how those beliefs have changed your life. You haven't even thought about Adisa…who once loved you-"
"You talk a lot…" Summer said as she looked up at the sky. "Adisa…is a selfish bastard. A bastard who got many people killed. A real hero…a real kind person…would give their life to save others…including their own race! The beast would've been living amongst us, but don't think for a second that they would've attacked if Adisa was alive!!! Think about all the other people like me! Think about someone like Frost! All of our lives have been ruined!"
"Because of the stories you're people believe."
"No! That's where you're wrong, Tank. I have seen the future. I know what's to come! My visions can always be altered, which is why I'm trying to kill him. Adisa isn't some good guy. He's meant to be evil. A killer-"
"Wrong again. The fact you and Frost locked him away…is one of the main reasons why he is the way he is now. I feel sorry for you beings."
Summer flew up to Tank and was now in his face. "I swear, if you don't shut that mouth…I'm gonna kill-"
"That won't work. You're far too weak, Summer." Tank said as he slammed his axe down, causing the ground to shake and Summer's insides to turn. "Sit down and wait for her to wake." Tank told Summer.
******
The screams had finally stopped. The sound of smooth and steady water was up ahead. Covered in blood was Splinter, as he slowly approached the opening to see nothing but water for miles and miles. Behind him was a jungle-like setting.
"I can sense you. I heard too many screams in this area, so…how long are you gonna make me wait?" Splinter asked as he slowly pulled out his sword and prepared himself.
There was nothing but silence and the sound of waves. Suddenly, a figure of a woman walked from far away towards Splinter. "Oh…to must be an akie?" She said excitedly. "Well, the three of you must be akies." She added.
Splinter looked to his right to see two strangers he had never seen before standing with large smiles on their faces. "Look at this!!! This is the stuff…THAT GETS ME HYPED UP, PLUS!!!"
"ME TOO, BROTHER!!!" The two charged up their energy, sparks of electricity surrounded the entire area. In that moment, the sound of lighting striking, echoed across the sky. Minus had managed to clear the distance in what looked like a moment, but the woman was able to block his kick. "Not much of talkers? I can get with that. I've already managed to feast on many humans and akies before the three of you entered inside of here! You must be strong to have made it past the little army before reaching this point!" The woman laughed as water shot from the sea and pushed Minus back. Minus flipped as Plus grabbed his hand and threw him back at the woman, his electrical aura grew more powerful.
"AHAHAHA!!!" Minus laughed as his speed had also increased. The woman smiled as massive waves of water began to rise higher and higher. "I can tell…you all are gonna be so much fun!! My names Ocean. A mythical beast! Warrior of king Wonder! And this…IS YOUR DEATH!!!" She laughed as her body was launched into the sky.
(Water control. Electricity works well in this environment. But I doubt it'll be that easy. They just went right into it. I think…I should turn around and focus on trying to save lives. The question is…can I trust these two fandoms to handle it?)
A few moments passed as Splinter struggled to make his decision. "Screw it. I'll leave it to them." Splinter turned around and flew through the jungle.
(Those two have it under control. They probably didn't even notice I was there.)
******
Rogue began to swing his chains. Opal took a fighting stance. (Time to slaughter.)
Opal teleported in front of Rogue, trying to punch his head off. Widow managed to track the movement and hit his fist upward. (Impressive. She managed to see my movements!)
Opal thought as he flipped backwards, using the momentum from the flip to kick Widow on the chin. Widow was sent into the air but immediately pulled down by Rogue's chain. Rock emerged from behind Rogue, his eyes glowing blue. "Ice punch!!" Opal leaned to the right to avoid Jack's fist. Flow then emerged directly behind Opal using his demon powers. He put his fire-like aura around his sword and swung in barrages. The sparks and flashes from the fist clashing with each swing caused the entire area to glow. "This is great! Focus or you'll die, Flow!!" Opal roared as he spun around, trying to land a chop on Flow's neck area. Flow ducked down and sliced Opal's hand off.
Colt came in landing a flying kick on the beast's face. Opal fell down, but before he hit the ground, he was frozen in place due to the powers of Sleet. Flow, Colt, and Rogue all leaped into the air and landed powerful blows that caused the entire dimension to shake, destroying the ice platform immediately. The remaining frost clan members immediately made another platform.
Flow, Colt, and Rogue were all shocked to see their hands had been removed. (When did he-)
Opal flew down towards the trio and held out his hand. "Flash bang."
A bright ball of light formed in Opal's hand. "Are lot familiar with black holes? If the energy is pure enough…you can even gain abilities from it's opposite nature. Black holes are in our universe…the dark and negative universe. However, this, this is something from the very original universe itself!! Say your prayers!! release….white erase." Opal said as he snapped his fingers.
The white light covered the entire dimension itself. In a hurry, Colt had reversed the damage on everyone that had been hit by the powerful attack…or so he thought.
(It hurts…) Flow thought, loooing down to see half of his body was burnt to crisp.
Flow looked around and saw piles of burnt bodies all around him.
Widow, Sleet, and Colt weren't burnt. Rogue's arms were burnt, as his flesh was still sizzling from the attack.
"I'm surprised you lot are still alive. Now then…time to finish this-"
"RAAAAAUUUUUGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!!" Flow's energy erupted like an volcano. He floated into the air, his body still laying down. Colt immediately used his powers again to reverse the damage done. "Flow…calm down!!" Colt yelled, as Flow's power was far too much, beginning to push everyone off of the platform.
"Damn idiot! Jack yelled as he stomped his foot. "I've world…ice age form!!" The space itself froze. Nothing but ice was even in the air and ground. Everyone could move, but this acted as the new platform that wouldn't break from Flow's power.
"Let the devil…OOOUUUUT!!!!"
Two horns emerged from Flow's head. A long tail, red eyes, and sharp teeth.
"Ahahah!!! That's the devil right there, Flow!!" Opal roared. Without wasting anytime, Flow had kicked Opal in the face, cracking reality itself and blasting the beast across the dimension. "Holy shi-" Sleet was cut off from the loud explosion.
(Ahh…that kick…he's not holding back anymore.) Opal thought as he forced his body to stop. Opal was now far away from the group, with Flow flying straight at him.
"OPAAAAL!!!!"
Opal clapped his hands together and smiled at Flow. "Not it's time to crack it up!! Plasma canon….universal tragedy strike!"
Flow pulled out his sword and begun to reflect the energy blast back at Opal. (What?!) Opal held out one hand and stopped his attack. The smoke covered his vision, as Flow moved behind him. Opal spun around and stopped his blade. Flow let go of his sword and landed an uppercut on the beast, pushing him into the air.
Opal held out one hand, shooting a black energy blast at Flow. Flow opened his mouth, releasing his own powerful beam of energy. The blast connected, making a black hole that began sucking things in around it. "Fascinating. You have the power to destroy that little island you all call earth. Who knew akies were this powerful. Your powers have increased over the years." Opal said as he then slapped himself in the face. "Why did I…say that? I've never met a akie until now…right?" Opal was lost in thought as Flow tried his best to not get sucked into the black hole. "This should be nothing. I'm disappointed that a simple black hole is causing you this much trouble."
"Go screw yourself!" Flow yelled as he put his hands together slowly. "Demon attack: All mighty flames!!" Opal was caught off guard as th flames covered the black hole, creating a fiery area that lit up the space.
Opal raised his hand in the air while looking gown at Flow.
(These akies…truly have magnificent aura. I can see why the king of the past fell to such power. After all, this is rather a weak reality compared to that of the other one created by their "ones."
Opal titled his head and began digging deep in his thoughts. "Why is I hate the fact that they actually believe they can win?" Opal asked himself as he was now lost in thought.
"FOCUS ON THE FIGHT!!!" Flow yelled as he punched Opal, creating a powerful explosion that vibrated th whole dimension. Flow was stunned to see Opal had not moved an inch nor reacted to Flow.
"This bothers me deeply. You akies are almost just like humans. Emotions and hope…two things that are weakness and I tend to forget about that. It's not the way of my ancestors. It's not the mythical beast way. It's…not natural. Almost like my majesty. He has some dna of mythical beast, akie,human, insects, water, fire, sand, dirt, and much more. Due to the facts of him being born an naturally absorbing the characteristics of each thing-"
Flow began to wail on Opal. Opal grabbed his hand and gave him a nasty side eye. "Would you please…knock it off you idiot?" Opal kicked Flow down towards the flames of the black hole. Flow opened his eyes and clapped his hands together. (It would seem…Opal is finally starting to take the figtt he seriously?) Flow thought.
"Enough. I've grown bored and suddenly don't care for the fight. Time to die…Akies." Opal teleported directly in front of Flow. Opal punched through Flow's chest.
******
"Nothing yet?!" Jade asked. "Tsk. I thought I told you to be quiet!" Adisa snapped. "This…takes some time. It's hard to read energy with someone here."
"Oh, so, im the problem? Hmm…then…I'll go over there." Jade said as she got up and walked away.
"No…to can stay, it's just, be patient. At this rate…I won't be able to find this energy. What a shame…after all this time, I still struggle in the simplest things!" Adisa said as he closed his eyes and concentrated harder.
(I don't think I'll be making it back home.)
(Just what exactly did he mean? Adisa won't die…ahaha, that's insane to even think about. Not…not here. Not in a world like this. Right? Is there something I'm missing? I want to ask him more, but everytime I open my mouth, it seems to restart his process. What in the hell…does he mean?!)
*****
Elizabeth followed to long yellow line, as she could now tell it was reaching its end point. "THE GATE!!!" Elizabeth screamed in excitement. "Uhh…how do I open it?"
******
"JACK!!" Rogue yelled.
"Huh?"
"We all have roles in this fight. I can't…I can't really use my abilities anymore, due to Opal's rules. You and the frost clan should worry about keeping the platform in shape. Let our fighters with the most aura and strength left fight off that creature!" Rogue said.
"Hmm….good point. Tell that to Blizzard and Sleet. Those guys…ain't my comrades." Jack said as he focused on sustaining the platform.
"That it?!" Opal asked as he pulled his fist from Flow's chest. "You're still holding back! Worrying over the lives of your comrades! Be selfish! Show me what you can do-"
Colt kicked Opal off of Flow, causing the beast to float into space. Opal forced his body to stop, as he held out one arm. "Solar wave." Immense heat washed over th two akies. "Widow!!!" Colt yelled as Widow emerged from Behind Opal. (What's this?!) Opal swung around and blocked her sword. (Her energy…what's the meaning of-)
"Figured it out yet?!" Flow called out.
(The people who I haven't even thought of much…her and Sleet…their powers have shot through the roof!!)
"Ahh…hat exactly is it you Akies did?" Opal asked Widow as he landed a few blows, but the woman tanked th blows an kicked Opal down. "Colt, activate it and put us in there!!" Widow yelled.
"What?! Are you sure?! Right now?!"
"Positive!" Widow said as she dove at the beast.
"Am I…missing something?" Flow asked as Colt began to heal him. "We came up with something while you were busy going off on him. If we all transfer our energy to the most healthiest people…that's our way to take Opal down. Your dragon heads are causing the dimension to break, but too slow. I have faith in Elizabeth, but we can possibly kill Opal if every last one of us puts our energy into two or one people!" Colt explained.
A green hole formed in the space, as Opal fell through, Sleet and Widow quickly followed. Colt shut them in. "Now we move!!! Keep the platform going and extend it!!" Rogue ordered the Frost clan. "Who the hell is he talking to?!" A soldier asked. "Ahahaha!!! We shall listen to the strange human! Advance!!!" Blizzard yelled as the clan began extending the platform.
"What the hell is even happening-"
"Don't ask questions, Flow! Let's get a move on!!" Colt yelled.
******
Sleet and Widow fell through the portal, twisting and turning their bodies. (Colt opened a time portal…but I don't know where in the hell it's taking us-)
Sleet landed in a big open field covered in long grass with a beautiful bright sun. Widow soon landed in the field right next to her. "This has nothing to do with the boy…does it?" Sleet asked Widow.
"No, this is all Colt's doing." Widow said as she looked around at the beautiful place. Opal emerged from the far horizon, anger on his mind. "What trick have you all pulled?"
"Ahaha! Something we all quickly decided on is all. Right now, we're all pinned here. I'm guessing this is the weak side of the dimension?" Widow asked.
"Foolish woman. This place is dead. Simply the back of my mind, long overdue trash!" Opal roared. "Yeah, but that means you have no rules or control over this space…right?" Sleet asked.
(Oh. I see.) Opal began to think. (What's the end game here? Leave me in here with these two? No…it's not that. Hehe….i get it. Elizabeth communicated telepathically to them, telling them she probably found my gateway. No matter. Even if they do escape…I'll simply close the expansion and slaughter them all.)
Opal took a stance and let out a long; exaggerating exhale. "I don't have good control. But I don't need such a thing. You two…are simply sacrifices who are trying to stop me from reaching that group! The both of you are finished…BEGONE!!" Opal roared as he held out his right arm.
"Universal…canon."
A bright white light formed at the palm of Opal's hand. The light shot towards Widow and Sleet.
Sleet ran towards th beam and widened her eyes. "FREEZE!!" Everything and everyone froze, but for only 0.01 seconds. That's was all the time she needed to grab Widow and move her behind Opal. (A freeze?!) Opal thought as he spun around and collided his fist with Widow's sword. (What is this? Why…is my energy immediately dropping?)
Opal pulled his hand away quickly and kicked Widow away.
(Their energies are rising?! Soon, they'll even surpass mine!)
Sleet shot up from the ground and sliced Opal on his back. The beast immediately healed and tried to backhand Sleet. Sleet leaned away and flipped, having a small ice blade between her toes as she cut Opal's chest. Opal grabbed Sleet by her leg, but she was replaced with an ice sculpture of her own. Sleet jumped back and clapped her hands together. "Ice attack: Ice beam!"
"Wind attack: Great spiral!!!"
Opal teleported away from in between their attacks. However, Opal didn't expect them to collide and begin freezing the area. "Tsk. Universal attack: Gamma Ray…"
"Sleet, watch out-"
A red and hot aura filled the area…as everything was melted to oblivion that was in front of Opal. Opal could hear heavy breathing coming from behind him, as Widow swung her blade at his neck. (Their speed…it's…COLT!!)
Opal ducked an tried to kick Widow, but she jumped in the air while Sleet froze Opal for just a second.
"Wind…SLASH!!!"
A large crack that seemingly formed in thin air cracked in front of Opal's body, sending him back with a large slash on his midsection.
(Colt is feeding them energy…but what's draining me? Is it Flow's dragons?! No…they aren't much of a threat to me anymore, this is…someone else? Did someone…did someone find the gate from the outside?! This energy…this energy….ADISA?!)
******
"Is that really the power you sensed?" Jade asked as she put a finger under her chin.
"Yeah, I'm positive." Adisa held a small black and misty ball of black energy. "I can…sense Flow, Colt, Widow, Jack, and more inside of here. However, their opponent…I don't know who that is." Adisa opened his eyes and turned to face Jade.
"Jade."
"Yes?"
"I need you to use your powers and protect yourself. This much energy…if I fail to open it right, it'll explode and kill you…along with everyone else inside of the dimension."
Jade gulped as she immediately activated her power.
"Don't be frightened by this one. She's nice…sometimes." Adisa held out on arm, as the dark dimension opened up and a massive hand reached from the depths of darkness. "Come out, Rala."
A massive and black figure emerged…a knight was was seven feet tall, long black hair that stuck out from her black and purple helmet, large muscles, and covered in a thick and powerful armor that sent chills down Jade's spine.
"Adisa….you foolish child!" The knight yelled as she reached behind her back and revealed two extremely long swords and dragged across the ground.
"Rala…I order you to-"
Rala roared in anger and put her sword against Adisa's neck. "You insignificant…little brat. I will slit your throat and watch you die!" Rala threatened.
"Rala…I order you." Rala's eyes widened as the massive knight looked deep into the eyes of him.
(No fear. Just…anger. How…how beautiful).
Rala pulled her sword away and kneeled. "What is your order?" She asked.
"I'm going to break into this dimension. I want you to quickly grab anyone who's left inside and pull them out, alright?"
"If that's what you desire, prince. Then it shall happen." Rala said as the knight stood tall and pointed at Jade. "Who's the little woman?"
"Little-"
"Don't even try it anything, Jade. Rala would kill you in a heartbeat. I won't allow that though. She's a comrade, Rala…along with people inside this dimension."
"I understand. Let the pulling apart process…commence."
******
Sleet and Widow skated across the frozen ground side by side. Weaving in and out of Opal's beam attacks as they approached the beast.
(WHY AREN'T YOU TRYING?! KILL THEM!!) a deep voice argued inside of Opal's head. "Shut up." Opal growled as he flew at Sleet and Widow. Before the three of them clashed, Opal watched as a piece of the sky fell and shattered like glass.
(The dimension is falling apart? It's because of Adisa!) Opal collided with the two. As the women tried to push Opal back, he held them off with only two hands. It was as if reality itself was shattering, as the sky was now nothing but a large crack, like glass.
Sleets's blue aura merged with Widow's light green. They aura clashed against Opal's as the beast roared from the struggle.
(Opal….is this really you? This is how you want to win?) a woman asked him.
Opal managed to overpower the two and stomped his foot into the ground. "Raauuggghhh!!!" Opal roared.
(OPAL, DON'T YOU DARE LISTEN!!! KILL THEM!! YOU'RE THE CHOSEN ONE!! WE GAVE YOU THIS POWER!!!)
(Opal, remember…our pride. A true warrior…of spirit an strength won't dare to rely on power that is given to them, but earned and created by them).
"Why do I feel as though…I know who you are?" Opal asked as he grabbed at his head. Opal punched the ground and roared once again.
Sleet and Widow just looked at him in confusion. However, Widow could sense the beast's emotions.
"Sadness. Fear. Guilt. Anger. And solitude…all combined within him." Widow whispered as she glared over at Sleet.
"Widow…I'm not sure what's going on in his head, but we can do it. We can…hit him with our expansions. He won't have a counter for it…since this dimension is his expansion. We can end the fight quickly…thanks to Colt feeding us all this energy, something is draining his as we speak! We can do it, Widow. We can kill Opal!"
"….alright. I'll follow your lead."
Opal lifted his head to see Sleet's hands covered in a thick ice. Opal slapped one hand away but was stabbed through his stomach with Widow's sword.
(OPAAL!!!! USE THE POWER GRANTED TO FROM-)
(This energy they've given you…it'll be the reason of your defeat. Opal, it's me. Can't you hear my voice? Can't you tell?)
Opal could hear these voices, but continued to fight on as Sleet kicked Opal back. Opal stumbled towards Widow, who was charging up her aura and delivered a powerful punch to Opal's back.
(You're a strong warrior. Even before this new power had unlocked. You could've been killed everyone inside of this dimension, but you're holding back because you know…deep in your innocent heart…this isn't the way to win-)
"SHUT UP!!!" Opal roared as he punched at thin air. "WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT ME, WOMAN?! WHO ARE YOu??!"
"Do it now, Widow!!!" Sleet yelled as she and Widow quickly made hand-signs.
"EXPANSION!!"
"EXPANSION!!"
(OPAL…FIGHT!! YOU'LL DIE!!! FIGHT, FOOLISH BEAST!!!)
(Opal, don't-)
Opal put his hands together slowly.
(These two are growing stronger every second while I slowly deteriorate away! The dimension is falling apart slowly! My aura is running low! It's not Flow's dragon's…it's all because of Colt and Adisa! Even Elizabeth! I have…I have a mission. A duty! As the chosen one…I will be the one…to kill all of my enemies!!)
"I WELCOME EVERYONE TO THEIR DEATHS!!! Expansion: UNIVERSAL DEATH BARRAGE!!!"
Opal's expansion….universal death barrage. It was one of Wonder's favorite abilities he had ever had the privilege of seeing in his memories.
This expansion will hit anyone and anything that is inside of Opal's dimension will be affected by his expansion. His expansion…will then create its own dimension that'll trap the opponent inside, forcing them into a duel with the great creature of the universe. This creature will defeat whoever's trapped inside their own dimension with it. As the creature is programmed to be built to take on whoever is trapped or hit by the expansion. No matter who or what you are…you will lose.
******
Colt was chained down against a thick iron wall. A massive creature lurked in the shadows as he lifted his head to reveal a large forest. "Where…where am-"
"Colt. Power….time. Let death and counter…commence." A deep voice said from what seemed the sky.
******
Rogue was walking alone in a great big city. The sun was out and the sounds of insects were loud as ever.
"Rogue. Power….chain minipulation. Full counter and death…start!"
******
Rock stood alone in the apocalyptic world of ice and frozen lakes. A woman in the distance stood with a long sword at her side.
Jack could see through the blizzard, as his heart dropped. "Who…who the hell-"
"Jack. Power…Ice. Death and full counter…will start."
******
Elizabeth floated alone in the vast space. She looked down to suddenly see a large black hand move beneath her…as if a giant being were walking through the universe.
"Elizabeth. Power…all sight. Full counter and death…begin."
******
Flow was being held by an angelic being. He opened his eyes fully to see Angel holding onto him while he was being lowered closer towards hell.
"Angel?! How are you- what's this?! You-"
"Flow. Power…Hell. Full counter and death…start."
******
Blizzard opened the doors to the giant room. A painting of a large black dragon hung over the great throne.
Blizzard looked to his left to see Frost walking towards the throne.
"Frost?" Blizzard asked as he reached to pull out his axe.
"Brother…this…is gonna be fun. Blizzard. Power…ice. Full counter and death…begin."
******
Widow was holding a woman that looked exactly like her. Only the tips of her hair were red, not blue.
"You…killed me, sister. You…did." The woman gasped. "H…how are you-"
"Widow. Power….Wind. Full counter and death…commence."
******
"Hi." A man said while standing over Sleet. "Flake?! (This is Opal's expansion?! He can use more than one?! One inside of his own expansion? I have to-)
Flake quickly grabbed Sleet by her neck and pulled her in close. He breathing was heavy, his eyes glowing bright blue, and his white hair with blue tips blew in the wind. "I…love you." Flake said as he pulled her in and kissed Sleet.
Sleet pushed Flake away and turned around to run away. "Ahaha…still have fight, huh? Sleet. Power…Ice. Fully counter and death…begin."
*****
Everyone had been hit by Opal's expansion. Opal laughed to himself as it was now quiet. "Everyone…shall die here. When Adisa openes the gate from the outside, I shall then take him on and deliver him to the king-"
"That…sure was a close call." Widow said as she breathed heavily from exhaustion. "How…how did you-"
"I managed to slip through a small crack inside of your little pocket dimension. Expansions are things you have to refine…just like this dimension you put us all in originally. This new one…I can tell your mediocre at using it! Leaving such a simple-even a small crack is enough for a fighter to escape and crawl on out." Widow explained.
"Heh. It's true. I am new to that ability…but it's over. Some will die in a few seconds, some like Colt will survive for maybe 5 minutes. You've got a nice eye, Widow." Opal said as he took a fighting stance. Widow looked at her sword and laughed.
"Thanks to Colt being caught, I am very low on aura. I'm no better…then a normal human. The same could be said for you, Opal." Widow tossed her sword to the side and took a fighting stance that matched exactly Opal's.
"You're wrong…wih my universe form, my aura replenishes on its own automatically over time. You'll die the longer this fight goes on…including everyone else."
"So be it." Widow said as multiple pieces of the sky fell down. Widow and Opal charged at each other, their aura's flaring an sparking with each blow they landed.
(STOP TOYING WITH HER! KILL HER!!)
"Ahaha!" Opal laughed as he caught Widow's fist and launched her over his shoulder.
(Opal…it's me. Tish.)
"Tish? Ahh…that name…I can see the figure of a woman now." Opal said as he jumped in the air an dove knees first at Widow's head.
Widow rolled out of the way and landed a kick to Opal's face. Opal quickly grabbed her leg and pulled her towards him. Opal then landed a powerful punch that knocked Widow out of a second. She jotted her eyes open, grabbed Opal's head, and pulled Opal in close to headbutt him.
(OPAL…YOU CRAZY…THEN SO BE IT…GO DIE. YOU PATHETIC-)
(Give her a fight. A warriors fight, Opal. I wanna see you…one last time fight. Fight being yourself.) the woman said over the deep and powerful voice.
Opal roared, making Widow's body fly away. Widow turned and twisted her body. She locked eyes with Opal, who had finally showed some pure emotion…as the beast simply smiled at her.
In the moment he had blown her away, Opal had already recovered all of his power. The beast stood up and flexed his body. "I'll en this…once and for all." Opal said.
(He's gonna kill me…he already recovered all his aura. So fast!! I'm…I'm gonna…huh?!?)
Widow watched as Opal's black skin began falling…only to now reveal his original opal coloring. Him doing this, made it so his aura was just as low and equal to that of Widow's.
"Opal…why would you- you know what you've done?! You won't fight to hold the dimension and make it stable?! You won't just overpower me and kill me?!" Widow asked. Opal ignored her as Sleet fell from the sky.
The expansion that was granteed to kill everyone had also vanished due to Opal's devolution.
"Silence." Opal said as he lifted his head. Widow met Opal's gaze. Her heart began to beat rapidly as she…felt warmth and somewhat of understanding.
"I shall use my own power…to finish this fight."
(My aura is low in this body…thanks to Colt's ability still effecting me. Hmph…so be it.)
Opal ran at Widow once again. The two immediately used their aura's and put it around their fist and exchanged blows. (My body and mind is so tired…I can't even dodge if I wanted to. This is…a fight!) Opal thought as he and Widow both punched each other in the faces.
Opal held out his arm, as the canon formed across it. "Plasma canon…burst!" Widow leaned to the side and avoided the powerful blast of energy. She countered with a powerful uppercut that knocked Opal down. Opal flipped and jabbed her in the stomach. "Wind punch!!" Widow yelled as she ignored the pain and threw her punch.
Another piece of glass fell between them. Widow had punched the piece of falling sky instead of Opal. The force from the punch blew Opal back a couple of feet.
Opal looked up to see millions of pieces now falling towards the two. Widow and Opal locked eyes and began jumping upward using piece by piece of the falling sky shards. The two continued their fight while jumping higher and higher into the air.
"Plasma-"
"Wind-"
The powers collided, an explosion knocked the two of them down.
(Keep going! Don't let up!) Widow thought as she leaped towards Opal while falling in the air. Suddenly, a large platform of ice was created beneath the two. Opal landed on his two feet and slid across the ice floor.
"DON'T INTERFERE, SLEET!!" Widow yelled out. Sleet, who was in the distance pulled her hand away.
(Why? We can-no, no, I get it. A fair fight. Widow's heart…has nothing but kindness written all over it).
"Ballistic canon…interpretation!" Opal shouted. While multiple beams of swirling energy filled the falling skies, Widow continued to sprint towards Opal. She flipped, turned, and twisted her body in a very unnatural way to dodge the beams. She then used light winds to have them circle around her body.
(She's using her wind ability to control the beams!)
Widow spun and tossed the beams back at Opal. Opal crossed his arms and covered his face to block the incoming fire. The smoke cleared and Widow leaped through it. Opal parried and slapped away each punch and kick that Widow threw his way. Opal wen for a leg sweep, but Widow jumped to avoid it. While in the air, she put her hands together and brought her fist down towards Opal. Opal smirked as he jumped backwards. Opal tripped on the ice and fell to the ground. Widow took heavy steps that shattered the ice beneath her. Opal rolled and rolled as she stomped towards him, trying to crush his head in. Opal popped up and used one of the falling pieces of sky; tossing it at Widow.
Widow swiped the piece away, but it still shattered like glass, hitting and stabbing her left eye. Opal took this opportunity and hit her ten times in the midsection, following up with a perfect jab that knocked Widow back and crashing through another piece of the falling sky.
Widow slid backwards until she could finally get her body to stop. The two breathed in sync, their bodies both wounded and on the edge of collapse. They both took another fighting stance and locked eyes. "Your combat skills…you've been alive for hundreds of years. Fascinating, Widow. You've impressed me greatly. Besides Rogue, anyone in your place would surely see their end facing me in this state."
"That's right…you can see my memories. I almost…forgot about that."
"Was…it worth it, Widow?"
"Huh?"
"You…an your twin sister. Was it worth it…to gain that power?"
Widow's lips quivered as she held back tears. "Not…not at all." She exhaled. "I see. It would seem….i don't have much time left." Opal said as the sky continued to fall around the two. "After I kill you…I'm gonna escape from here. People at y'all's level…shouldn't be enough, but…due to me coming in contact with people like Flow and Colt, I can actually die here." Opal explained. He squared his feet with his shoulders, preparing to strike.
"Tsk. Don't you dare…think this is the end for us!" Widow stomped her foot on the frozen floor, creating a massive wind storm that threw Opal around and launched him away. Opal quickly flipped and pointed at Widow. "Plasma spark!"
A bright yellow light shot at Widow's feet. Knocking her through the floor and into what looked like another, smaller, and beautiful dimension. It was like being pushed through glass.
Widow, at the last second of her long fall, used her winds to slow her body down. She looked up to see Opal falling in after her. Opal landed and Widow quickly got to her feet.
"Look around you! It's over, Opal. Give…give up, please." Widow begged.
"Heh." Opal looked around to see the platform moving through space at incredible speeds. Imagine a massive white cube that had a earth or island inside of it. On the top floor, that's where Sleet and Widow were fighting Opal the first time.
Opal and Widow were now on the very bottom, fighting it out while the cube and dimension was slowly falling apart. "Once this barrier falls apart, we both will die out here. Even if Adisa manages to break the barrier, you'll die!!" Opal roared.
(Adisa is here? I see…that's why Opal's power is slipping. Absolutely…incredible! Even with his energy draining, I'm still struggling to beat him).
Widow charged at Opal, her aura flaring to life. (I'm going to go all out!! I'll take Opal down here and now!)
Opal also flared his aura, as the two began going blow for blow, tearing the cube from the inside and even effecting the entire dimension itself.
"Aauughhh!!!"
"Rraaaauuughhh!!!"
A massive explosion pushed the two away, the both of them slid across the ground with their aura's still showing brighter than ever. Opal and Widow locked eyes once again…this time, Widow could see the hunger of battle deep within his eyes.
"Okay, Opal, this is it." Widow said with a smile.
"Great choice of words, warrior." Opal chuckled as his arm canon appeared once again.
(I'll give this everything I've got!)
(This is my everything!!)
The two charged up their auras. On Widow's side was a beautiful bright green and on Opal's side was a fierce opal coloring. "Plasma canon…"
"Wind attack…."
The intense pressure from their energy would've crushed any normal person to death immediately. They matched each others breathing, heartbeat, minds, and soul.
"WORLD-LEVEL BLAST!!!"
"ALL MIGHTY WIND STORM BEAM!!"
A green beam clashed with a large yellow ball of energy. (Incredible! Opal…Opal is too strong-)
The large ball shot through Widow's beam, almost hitting her. Opal thought he had landed his attack, but a could feel the powerful wind behind him. Opal ducked down and avoided her long leg. (I see. At the very last moment of her attack, she used her winds to circle around me right before my ball made contact with her, which is why my attack easily overwhelmed hers!)
Opal grabbed her leg and held her upside down. He used his very last amount of aura to punch her in the stomach. Widow quickly wrapped her legs around the beast's arm, and twisted it.
"Aauurggghhh!!" Opal roared. Opal then used his free arm, letting his claws loose and dragging them across her leg.
Widow then kicked the beast back. Opal rolled against the ground, his head spinning as he noticed something red sticking out of the ground.
"Come to me." Widow whispered, as her sword flew into her hands. She walked towards Opal fast, as she tightened her grip…she noticed the beast holding a red rose gently in his hands.
"Ahh…ha…ahaha…I…I remember now. Rose. These are roses! These beautiful creations…this is where my memories of them were placed. In the back of my dimension that was given to me…."
"I'm not understanding-"
"This flower…this flower was the name of my sister. Her name was Rose. A rather beautiful creature." Opal's voice suddenly cracked. "This…this wasn't how it was supposed to be. None of this…was supposed to happen. If only I…I had been stronger!" Opal said as he shoulders began to shake and his breathing became rugged.
"You're sad?" Widow asked as she could feel the beast's emotions. "Is that what you call this…feeling? Sadness? It all makes sense now…why I couldn't remember the two of you…my mother and sister…they died a long time ago."
Opal placed th rose down and looked up at Widow with a tired and painful look in his eyes. Tears fell from them as he wiped them away quickly. "This world…this universe is truly…so cruel."
Widow lowered her sword and took a knee in front of the beast. "Opal…what are you-"
"Destiny and the chosen cub…it was all me. I am no chosen cub…I am…a failure. Which is why…." Opal got to his feet quickly and pulled his arm back. Widow quickly raised her sword and infused it with her aura.
(She still has aura left…just as I figured.)
Widow hesitated for a moment, but in that moment, she noticed Opal didn't follow through with his surprise attack.
Widow brought her sword down on the beast's left shoulder, dragging it down until it exited through his right hip.
Opal stumbled backwards, hit blood gushing on the green grass. "Opal…why did you-"
Opal stumbled and began crawling backwards. He held out his hand and opened another smaller and more peaceful dimension. Cries of a baby echoed inside of the dimension. Opal reached in and pulled out a baby. The baby wasn't human or akie, it was a mythical beast. With blue skin that shined like diamonds in the sun, two large white horns, and a long tail. "This…this is…is Tox-her child-"
Opal had dropped the baby, but Widow quickly caught it and held it close. "Opal…you…why did you give up? Even when this fight started, you could've killed us! Why? Why give me a child-"
"It's what…mother would've wanted. Tish…"
(Tish?! Rogue's mother?! One of the great super humans to ever exist?!)
"Take care of this child and give her to her mother. Tell Toxic…that I am sorry…for holding such an innocent being hostage."

Coming tomorrow.
