The Rising Divine Orb

~The author speaking first & spoiler warning!~

This story is the final story of long ongoing fanfiction storylines that take place in the same universe.

This story is a combination of Rising Breakdown Sphere saga, Cosmic Divine Crystalline saga, and lastly, The Crumbling Orb saga.

This is known as a MOVIE than an episode and for good reason, it is the finale, the end of my fanfiction work, and puts this entire story and all of the sagas to rest.

My recommendation is you read all storylines before you read this to truly understand the characters from all sagas and the stories thus far and what is going on.

I REPEAT

My recommendation is you read all storylines before you read this to truly understand the characters from all sagas and the stories thus far and what is going on.

Thank you and I hope you enjoy my final work.

The story takes place right after were The Crumbling Orb saga ends.

The statements of the main characters from their storylines speaking of the sphere/crystalline/orb.

“Well the first Sith Emperor died back oh, ten thousand years ago I think from what this old book said. It is said that this emperor created some sphere that gives an unknown yet powerful ability that whoever wields it will have power through the entire universe. He and his followers just vanished without a trace. They say that they disappeared into the empty maw, a dark spot that once had a galaxy so perhaps he died there to some disastrous event. But hey, the story has changed for so many years so who knows what the real story is or if it’s even real.” -Aizen would say from Rising Breakdown Sphere EPISODE I.

“What are you studying- oh? The first Emperor of the Sith. I read about him when I was in the academy studying history too. Over ten thousand years ago he ruled over the entire galaxy and suddenly vanished in a dark cloud and never returned. Spooky huh? He disappeared along with something, forgot what it said but it was something threatening to the galaxy- you know that whole thing. I don’t know what it was as the stories changed throughout time and people say things they want to say. One person said it was golden ore and someone else said it was some orb. Either way, it’s long in the past.” -Serenity would say from Cosmic Divine Crystalline EPISODE XV.

“I read books of the past about stories of people making wishes upon an orb and after the third wish, they die. Even if they ask for immortality. This orb was created a long time ago, way before Aizen was born or perhaps our galaxy was born. From what many storytellers throughout history have said about it, it’s all mixed up so there is no clear answer except they all say it was created by a man, a man as they call the first sith emperor to grant him power, unimaginable power, godly power. Yet he vanished along with whatever Empire he had. Some say it was over ten thousand years ago. If he did die then how come this orb didn’t die with him? How come it floats around from person to person, from galaxy to galaxy? What is its purpose if its master is supposedly dead.” -Eto would say from The Crumbling Orb EPISODE V.

“I read something about the first sith emperor, I don’t know much but what I do know from what everyone including you have said, it sounds like this orb needs to be destroyed. If this man who created it really did die that many years ago, then where is his body? Where is proof of his death? What is the true goal for this orb to do what it does? It does sound all like one big trap, not just for us, not just for our galaxy, but for the entire universe perhaps.” -Ken would say from The Crumbling Orb EPISODE V.

“Something about this thing feels strange, and not in a good way.” -Akira would say from Prelude To Movie EPISODE I.

…

“I rise.” -Emperor Tenebris Satanas

Chapter 1: The Return of Darkness

In the dark vacuum of space somewhere in the universe, the orb was just hovering and began to crumble away, it turned into dust and nothing remained, but then a peal of faint laughter was heard, a deep voice then spoke and echoed throughout the universe.

“I, Emperor Tenebris Satanas have risen once more!” shouted the voice.

Then the orb began to manifest, but while it was manifesting so was something else along with it.

A giant humanoid demon with red skin, claws on both hands and feet, and a multitude of spikes protruding from his back and head. He has a tail coupled with more spikes. He has a skeletal form of sorts but with tight muscular skin that glowed red showing his ribcage, the red glow was from the flames burning inside of his body. His arms have some kind of blade-like extensions down past his hands. His shoulders are big and they have a mouth on each of them and they was glowing red from the flames inside of his body. His tail and his legs have spikes covering them. He had no eyes and instead they was open sockets with flames burning behind them. His mouth had no lips and his bare sharp teeth was seen and flames were burning behind his closed mouth with smoke hissing out from between his teeth. He also had no nose or ears which complexed his skeletal-like form. The orb manifested in the middle of his forehead and its blue glow was gone, it was now a dark red glow.

He stood in the dark vacuum of space and pointed his red talon finger forward.

Coming out of the darkness, was over septillion, fifteen kilometers meters long, triangular ships with armaments of over three hundred different turbo cannons on the top and bottom of the ships. The ships are known as, Assertor-class star dreadnoughts. In each of the hangers was a hundred and twenty TIE Hunter starfighters all lined up in the hangers at the ready for use.

Following the dreadnoughts a final ship emerged, blocking out stars in its path. A flagship so massive that it might as well have been endless. Not even the size of the largest planet could compare to it.

Standing on a beach was the green-haired man who felt the wind stop blowing and the ocean water stood still.

“So, it begins.” He said.

A dark fog manifested behind him and walking out of it was Tenebris.

“So, the time has come.” The green-haired man said.

Tenebris put his large hand around the green-haired man’s head.

“If you kill me, I return to Akira’s body.” The green-haired man said.

“Good, then you get to suffer. I told you that I would have my revenge. You did nothing but fish, how wasteful.” Tenebris said.

“Remember that prophecy I told you about?” The green-haired man asked.

“I don’t care.” Tenebris said.

“The prophecy I made says that there is a Chosen One who will destroy all darkness and bring in eternal light on my behalf. No one, not even I know who it will be. That’s the fun part of a good mystery.” The green-haired man said to Tenebris with a smile.

“It seems your prophecy didn’t happen, a shame. Now you get to suffer, forever.” Tenebris said.

“You may kill this body, but my soul shall live on like it always has. I am alpha, I am omega.” The green-haired man said.

Tenebris crushed the green-haired man’s head in and dropped his body.

The dark fog surrounded him and he teleported off.

The sun began to turn to ash and then he and the planet turned to ash following it.

All galaxies began to go dark, the stars faded, everything in the universe was being erased from existence.

In the afterlives, Heaven and Hell both began to fade from existence and the people in both turned into ashes.

It was so sudden, no one could expect it.

All that remained in an empty existence was Tenebris and his fleet. He was the only sole being.

“Now, I shall create one realm to dispose of these worthless creatures.” Tenebris said to himself.

Tenebris created a grey clouded realm with a faint light in the distance to give a faint illumination. There was wil-o-wisps appearing and disappearing at random within the sky. The ground was dirt with large thorny vines scattered around. Instead of snow falling, it was rising from the dirt out of nowhere like magic, it was rising into the sky to no end like the wil-o-wisps. High up in the sky was Tenebris’ fleet just looming dominatingly above with his flagship being endless that it would be the only true thing to see in the sky amongst his endless fleet of dreadnoughts that orbited it. There was a few cave enterances in the ground that lead to many different caverns that had a yellowish aura that gave light to the caverns.

Every being that ever existed appeared throughout the ground of the realm. They were naked, afraid, and confused. There was all sorts of animals that ever existed along with them that also shared fear and confusion. Aquatic animals couldn’t breathe but yet couldn’t die.

There was over Septendecillion races across the land all of them questioning what happened to one another, even shocked to see those that died were along with them.

“Dad?” Serenity asked looking over to Dray.

Dray was looking around with a frown on his face.

“Dray, something’s wrong, very, very, wrong.” Cosmic said shaking.

Dray put his arms around Cosmic and Serenity securely.

Nearby, Javik looked around in shock and shook his head.

“No, it’s too late!” Javik shouted.

Elsewhere, Aizen was looking around in shock and was breathing heavily.

“Aizen!” Gin shouted running up to him.

“Gin, what’s going on?” Aizen asked.

“Other than all of us naked in some strange place? I do not know.” Gin said.

Nearby, Sasori and James looked at themselves in confusion and then up in the sky.

“What the hell!?” James said.

“We got to get out of here!” Sasori said.

Elsewhere, Akira and Makoto appeared.

“Is this heaven or…?” Akira began to ask.

“No, and judging by everyone’s facial expressions this isn’t right, we shouldn’t be here.” Makoto said.

“Oh my god, there are those ships.” Akira said looking up.

“That means that he…” Makoto began to say.

Nearby, Jessica was standing next to a child with blonde hair and Jessica looked at her as she was crying.

“Hey, it’s okay.” Jessica said kneeling down hugging the girl.

“No, no it isn’t…” The girl said softly.

Elsewhere, Ken and Eto was in the same positions they were in when they was killed by the Aparoid Queen and both of them looked around and up into the sky.

“Guys!” Hide shouted to them but he couldn’t reach them due to the large crowd between them.

“This isn’t heaven.” Ken said.

“Or hell.” Eto added.

“This isn’t the Aparoids doing, this is something else.” Ken said as he was figuring it out.

Nearby, Stolas and Octavia was looking around.

“I can’t seem to use my magic.” Stolas said.

“Dad, what’s that?” Octavia asked pointing at the sky to something manifesting.

Tenebris’ image appeared in the sky for all to see, his orb glowing bright red.

Immediately, everyone’s bodies were electrocuted by lightning that came out of nowhere and everyone shrieked in pain.

“None of you knew I existed, none of you believed in me as your upcoming god, none of you deserve peace!” Tenebris shouted.

Amongst the people, Aizen was there screaming in pain as his eyes was rolled into the back of his head.

“None of you will die, but you will suffer for eternity for your pathetic existence!” Tenebris shouted.

Akira was looking for Makoto but the lightning kept his head in place while it zapped through his brain.

“The orb that many of you wished upon has given me all the life energy I need from your selfish wishes to become a god, I am finally a god!” Tenebris shouted.

Ken’s neck veins was popping out as he was screaming unnaturally to the pain he was receiving.

“All of you shall remain as your early twenty years of age, much more satisfying to break continuously while you are unable to die. You die when I say, and I want all of you to suffer for as long as it amuses me!” Tenebris shouted.

Eto opened her mouth screaming and lightning was entering her mouth like everyone else to shock them from within, but suddenly there wasn’t just lightning entering their bodies, it was a plague of sorts making them sick and constantly throwing up while in pain.

“I was meant to serve our former god’s creations, now he is somewhere amongst all of you, his creations to suffer as well! I serve no one but myself! Now I’m in control!” Tenebris shouted.

Serenity’s eyes was being electrocuted but she could still see and the lightning and plague entered her body making her puke up blood helplessly.

Tenebris waved his hand toward all of them with his lightning power beginning to grow larger.

“All of you shall remain like this for ten thousand years! Then afterward, you all suffer for my amusement. It’s how it’s meant to be, accept this as your lives from here on!” Tenebris shouted.

Tenebris laughed forebodingly and the lightning turned into shells and began to cover everyone’s bodies along with the red plague mixed in it.

Serenity’s eyes painfully managed to look at Tenebris while he was laughing and her eyelid slowly narrowed.

“I don’t wanna hear your absolution, hope you’re ready for a revolution.” Serenity thought to herself.

The lightning shell closed and thus begins the ten thousand years of everlasting pain.

. . . The Rising Divine Orb . . .

Chapter 2: Eternal Suffering

Ten thousand years later, Tenebris ended the torturing but planned other means to amuse himself. He would summon over one hundred thousand random people to be tortured for an entire day before moving onto another group for an entire day, he did this to keep everyone in fear of his power. No one could leave either, there was a realm boundary that made it like they were in a globe of sorts but seemed endless but with a boundary that would zap anyone back into place.

Everyone was starving to death but could never die and grew ill yet still couldn’t die. The people could kill animals but after doing so they would just appear next to them and their former corpses lay there. The people began to make clothes from the hides of the bodies and tried to eat them but threw up as they were unable to eat due to the horrifying effects of what Tenebris was doing to them constantly while not being in their presence.

It was a living nightmare that no one could escape from but during this time people began to talk to one another and be introduced to other species from other galaxies. Some that did evil went to the caverns to hide from the public while those that did good stayed away from the caves and then there were some that went back and forth. No one could age, everyone was stuck in their early twenties and none could reproduce.

Fifty Years later…

Dray’s eye opened and he sat up grunting clutching his burning skin.

“Dray.” Cosmic said running up to him.

Cosmic touched his arm and helped him to sit on some nearby soft animal hides.

“I was one out of one hundred thousand chosen for today’s regular torture.” Dray said.

“Lay back.” Cosmic said.

Dray laid his head back on some more hide.

They was both wearing some animal hide as clothing, behind them was a bone hut with some hides around it as a make-shift home, the ground was all muddy with thorns poking out of the ground.

A young girl walked in with a sad look on her face.

“Hey Shinobu, it’s okay.” Dray said.

Shinobu didn’t say anything and just walked over giving Dray a hug.

Dray was in some pain but didn’t mind.

“Sweety, he needs to rest okay?” Cosmic said.

Shinobu just nodded and sat down nearby.

Dray and Cosmic found Shinobu alone and still in a child form. The two didn’t understand why but decided to take her in as an adopted daughter, Shinobu accepted.

“Hey, you guys there?” Sasori called out from outside.

“Yeah, come in.” Cosmic said.

After the ten thousand years of torture, Aizen introduced his friends to Serenity’s friends and family and Ken and Eto’s friends. All of them created their own big friend group.

Sasori walked in.

Shinobu hid away, still a bit shy of their friends but she did manage to give him a wave, and Sasori waved back.

“Aizen was wondering if you two wanted to stop by for bone chess but, I can see you need to recover.” Sasori said glancing at Dray.

“Cosmic how about you go with him?” Dray said.

“I don’t want to leave you here when you’re in pain.” Cosmic said.

“It’s okay, go have some fun.” Dray said.

Cosmic still looked worried.

“I got Shinobu here.” Dray said thumbing back to her.

Shinobu looked at Cosmic with a faint smile.

Cosmic sighed and gave him a kiss.

“I’ll be back once the game ends.” Cosmic said.

Cosmic walked out and Sasori gave Dray a wave who waved back and the two walked off.

“So, how is Serenity?” Sasori asked.

Meanwhile, Serenity was fixing up some hides with two dead goat corpses beside her with the same two goats alive on the other side.

Serenity got up and cracked one of the goat’s necks killing it, and it magically reappeared beside the other goat.

She took the body and brought out a bone knife and began to cut the fur off.

“Boring.” James said as he was waiting.

“Hey, James.” Serenity said.

“Yo, you want me to take over?” James asked.

“Might as well, I had a hard time with the triceratops hide which took me over an hour.” Serenity said.

Serenity got up and James took her spot.

“I heard your dad was one of the one hundred thousand chosen for today’s torture.” James said.

“Son of a bitch.” Serenity growled looking up into the sky.

Far up in the sky was Tenebris’ endless flagship along with the triangular ships.

“You going to go check on him?” James asked.

“You know I am.” Serenity said walking off.

“Keep a cool head okay!” James called out.

“Try too!” Serenity called back.

An hour later, Serenity walked into Dray’s hut and saw him just staring at nothing.

“Bored?” Serenity asked sitting down beside him.

“I’m surprised our wonderful neighbor didn’t come to check on me.” Dray said.

“Yeah about that…” Serenity began to say.

“Yoohoo, Draykey!” Stolas said.

“Son of a bitch.” Dray said.

“Draykey!” Stolas shouted walking in.

Stolas walked up and gave Dray a tight hug which hurt him.

“Oh, how awful!” Stolas said.

“Ow ow!” Dray said.

Serenity just sighed having to push Stolas off her father.

“Remember, friend zone.” Serenity said.

“Sorry but I hate to see your daddy so hurt, oh it ruffles my feathers.” Stolas said.

Octavia walked in and gave Serenity a quick fist bump before grabbing her father’s arm and dragging him back.

“Space dad.” Octavia said.

“Oh I know, I already had this discussion with Draykey’s wife before and after she beat me up.” Stolas said.

“Yeah, and we keep reminding you I’m straight and married.” Dray said.

Serenity sat on her makeshift hide bed nearby with Octavia sitting beside her.

The two watched their fathers talking to one another and chatted amongst themselves.

Meanwhile, Ken was looking at the bone chess board and was facing off against Aizen.

“It’s been ten minutes and you haven’t made a decision.” Aizen said.

“Because I’m screwed either way.” Ken said.

“Exactly, so do something.” Aizen said.

Ken sighed and moved a rook forward and it was taken out by the knight and to which his king was all that was left, against two knights and five rooks, a king, and an active queen.

“Just call it.” Aizen said.

“Dude, I think you may of lost.” Hide said as he was watching them.

Hide and Eto was watching the game along with a few other spectators.

Ken facepalmed and called it getting up and sitting nearby.

“Don’t worry I will avenge you.” Eto said patting Ken’s head.

Ken just rolled his eyes mumbling.

“Hey, sorry we are late.” Sasori said walking in with Cosmic.

“Where is Dray?” Aizen asked.

“Is Stolas keeping him back again?” Ken asked trying to hide a grin.

“He is resting, he is one of the one hundred thousand for today.” Cosmic said.

“That’s rough, sorry to hear that.” Eto said.

“Say wasn’t Jessica tortured yesterday?” Sasori asked Aizen.

“Yeah.” Aizen said.

“And let me guess, she didn’t want you to help her out today because she’s still mad that you killed her?” Cosmic asked.

“Yup.” Aizen said.

“Didn’t you apologize though?” Ken asked.

“Every single day.” Aizen said with his eyebrows raising.

“Checkmate.” Eto said.

Aizen blinked realizing he wasn’t paying attention and just sighed.

“You avenged me!” Ken said.

Aizen just mumbled something and stood up.

“You know how about I talk to Jessica tomorrow when we have our girl’s day out.” Cosmic said.

“You know she won’t listen.” Eto said.

“She might listen to me.” Cosmic said.

“More power to you, I can’t face her again since she tried to rip my eyes out.” Aizen said.

“And spade you.” Eto added.

“Cut your tongue off.” Ken added.

“Tried to shove you up an elephant-” Cosmic said.

“Okay okay enough.” Aizen said.

“Maybe we should pray one day the Emperor drops from his ship and falls in front of Jessica.” Eto said.

“She’d probably kill him.” Ken said.

“Exactly.” Eto said.

An unknown thin human male with shaggy neck-length brown hair with bangs and reddish-brown eyes approached the group with a pleasant smile.

“Hello there, I hope I’m not interrupting anything.” The male said.

“Not at all, how can we help you?” Aizen asked.

“Well, I couldn’t help but overhear that you spoke of Tenebris and I was wondering if I could lend any services I can for you.” The male said.

“Thanks but I don’t know what could help us.” Aizen said.

“Who might you be?” Ken asked.

“Oh, I am Akechi Goro.” Akechi said.

“Hello.” Cosmic said.

“Mind if you fill me in on how you know Tenebris?” Akechi asked.

Aizen perked an eyebrow.

“Of course.” Cosmic said while glancing to Aizen for a second.

Cosmic began to explain to Akechi what they know.

Meanwhile, Jessica was throwing random hides around and bones out of her way.

“Fucking things cluttering the area!” Jessica shouted.

“I see you’re wrecking someone’s home.” Gin said.

“This someone gave me a nasty remark, calling me annoying!” Jessica said.

Gin mumbled something.

“Say it louder!” Jessica shouted.

“You are.” Gin said.

Jessica frowned at him.

“Hey.” Akira said approaching with Makoto beside him.

“Oh hey.” Gin said.

“Yeah yeah hi.” Jessica said searching around.

“Run.” Gin whispered.

“Is everything okay Jessica?” Makoto asked.

“Other than trying to find something fluffy to lay on!? Oh, everything is peachy!” Jessica shouted.

“You know how about we go find a sheep.” Akira said.

“Oh thank you! You are much more helpful than Aizen ever was.” Jessica said.

Jessica grabbed Akira’s hand and dragged him off leaving Akira speechless.

“Is she ever going to let go of the past?” Makoto asked Gin as the two walked behind.

Gin just sighed.

“I don’t know anymore. I wished her and Aizen just kissed and made up.” Gin said.

The next day…

Akira and Makoto approached Dray, Cosmic, Shinobu, and Serenity’s hut.

“You there?” Akira asked.

Serenity opened it.

“Hey.” Serenity said.

“You ready for girl’s day?” Makoto asked.

“Yeah, we are- mind if Shinobu tags along? She wants to come but is nervous.” Serenity said.

Makoto looked back to see Shinobu hiding behind Cosmic who was up.

“Sure.” Makoto said giving her a smile.

Serenity, Cosmic, and Shinobu exited while Octavia walked over to join them.

“You girls have a nice time okay? “Dray said.

Dray, James, and Akira waved while Stolas walked up to them.

“Oh Draykey…” Stolas said.

“Oh no.” Dray, James, and Akira said together.

“I was thinking, why don’t we have a man’s day out then! We got nothing else better to do than just sit around and be depressed about our current situation.” Stolas said.

“Our eternal situation.” Akira said.

“Oh come on, we can have a glorious man’s day!” Stolas said.

“I guess I’m down for it.” James said.

“I suppose it wouldn’t hurt.” Dray said.

“Excellent, let’s go gather the others.” Stolas said.

“You think Jessica is complaining about Aizen?” Dray asked Akira.

“Most definitely.” Akira said.

An hour later…

All of the girls were walking together past random aliens and all had a deadpan stare looking forward while Jessica was running her mouth about Aizen.

“I’m going to lose it in a minute.” Umbreon whispered to Eto.

“I’m going to lose it in a second.” Eto replied.

Makoto glanced to Serenity who glanced back and both sighed.

“Okay! That’s it!” Mangle shouted.

“Thank you…” Serenity whispered to herself.

“What?” Jessica asked.

“Look we are having womanizing time and here you are complaining non-stop. Listen, lay with Aizen, make up with him, for crying out loud lady! So what if he killed you- he explained why he did. Hell, I would kill you too! Right now if I could!” Mangle said.

Jessica tried to grab Mangle and Mangle tried to grab her but she was pulled back by Cosmic.

“Girls.” Cosmic said.

“No please, let her do it…” Maychiro said.

“Listen, Jess. How about I go with you to talk to Aizen?” Serenity asked.

“You will?” Jessica asked.

“Yeah! I will go with you tomorrow, you two talk, and maybe you two can make up.” Serenity said.

“I want to kill him.” Jessica said.

“Well none of us can die so, you’ll just have to make do with beating him up.” Serenity said.

“With a bone club.” Jessica said.

“Yeah sure with a bone club.” Serenity said.

“Deal.” Jessica said.

“Aww, I wanted to see a fight…” Maychiro sighed.

“Wow, you actually did it.” Octavia whispered to Serenity.

“Let’s see how tomorrow goes.” Serenity whispered back.

Chapter 3: Men and Women Are Complicated

All of the girls sat around talking about random things.

“So I got a curious question, how come your eyes are red, Serenity?” Casarai asked.

“That’s a good question.” Konan said.

“Born that way I suppose?” Serenity said cocking an eyebrow.

“I have red eyes.” Makoto said.

“True, is it rare though?” Casarai asked.

Serenity and Makoto looked at one another and then back to the other girls.

“No clue.” Serenity said.

“I got red eyes.” Umbreon said.

“Neither I nor Dray have red eyes so, probably just rare.” Cosmic said.

“Well I know some of us do but Serenity and Makoto’s are bright red.” Mangle said.

“W-well I like y-your eyes…” Shinobu weakly said.

“Aww thank you!” Umbreon said.

“I meant Se-serenity’s.” Shinobu said.

Umbreon had a sweatdrop.

“Oh.” Umbreon said gritting her teeth.

“Least we are talking about eyes other than tits.” Karura said grinning.

“Ahem, we could talk about how you are dating my son.” Serenity said.

“Woah wait, your dating my brother!?” Iris asked.

“Your dating Nishio?” Zinnia asked.

“Fuck yeah.” Karura said leaning back and still grinning.

“How come I’m the last to know of this?” Umbreon asked.

“None of us knew.” Aruriania said.

“I knew!” Espeon said.

“How!?” Aruriania asked.

“I spied.” Espeon said.

“I let her too.” Karura said.

“I knew since he told me, but I didn’t say anything to anyone because it wasn’t anyone’s business.” Serenity said.

“It sort of is!” Mangle said.

“How so?” Karura asked.

“Because you’re a bitch.” Mangle said.

“And?” Karura asked.

“That’s it.” Mangle said.

“There it is…” Umbreon said with a shrug.

“There it is.” Karura replied while looking at Mangle.

“Can I ask if you two are having sex?” Mangle asked.

“No!” Serenity shouted.

“Yes we are, and Serenity your son is a fucking champ!” Karura said.

Serenity just facepalmed.

“Change subject please!” Serenity shouted.

“Okay so, what’s the sex like? Details!” Leslie asked.

“Leslie!” Serenity shouted.

“What it’s a question, it’s girl’s day.” Leslie said.

“He’s my son!” Serenity shouted.

There was silence for a moment as they was all looking at Serenity.

“Fine go ahead.” Serenity said.

“I learned that when he gets annoyed the easiest thing to do to calm him down is rubbing his head. And then he starts to get a bit frisky and wants to rub something of mine… hehehehe.” Karura said.

“He likes head rubs?” Leslie asked.

“Get’s that from his mother.” Cosmic said.

Serenity sighed with a nod.

“Can’t argue with that.” Serenity said.

“Akira is the same way.” Makoto said.

“You know what we need to do, is rub our men’s heads and see how they react.” Maychiro said.

The girls began to talk amongst themselves agreeing to it and Octavia looked over to Serenity who was silent and walked up and sat beside her.

“Is it a bad time to mention Adam?” Octavia asked.

“Not at all.” Serenity said.

“Sorry that you and Adam’s love fell apart a long long time ago.” Octavia said.

“I blame what we are going through right now, it left us both miserable. I’m glad to see that everyone else has managed to maintain their relationships, or get new ones.” Serenity said.

“Like your son and Karura?” Octavia asked.

“Don’t push it.” Serenity growled.

Octavia just chuckled and Serenity flashed a grin.

“Well is there a guy you like?” Octavia asked.

Suddenly everyone heard that and looked at Serenity.

“Way to throw me into the spotlight.” Serenity said.

“You have got to tell us!” Leslie said.

“Hell no.” Serenity said.

“Oh come on we won’t say nothing.” Mangle said.

“You’re the biggest blabbermouth of us all!” Everyone shouted at the same time to her.

Mangle just stood there and slowly grinned.

“Fuck yeah.” Mangle said.

“Don’t swear too much around the kid.” Karura said thumbing over to Shinobu.

“She’s heard worse from our neighbor.” Cosmic said.

“Which again, sorry.” Octavia said about Stolas.

Cosmic sighed looking over to Aruriania.

“I wonder how the guys are doing.” Cosmic said.

All of the guys were sitting fixing some bone-type equipment while talking amongst themselves.

“I don’t mean to bring this up but, do you think you could ask Jessica not to tear up my hut when she thinks I’m talking about her behind her back?” James asked Aizen.

“Are you?” Aizen asked.

“Yes.” James said with a thumbs up and a smirk.

Aizen just smirked back.

“I wish I could try to talk to her but I doubt she’d hear me out.” Aizen said.

“You two really do need to just kiss and make up. Didn’t you try to explain to her why you did what you did?” Starrk asked.

“Tried and failed because she wouldn’t shut up.” Aizen said.

“Women am I right?” Nishio said.

Everyone looked at Nishio.

“You sound just like your mother.” Qrow said with a grin.

“So who’s this guy?” Ken’shiro thumbed over to Akechi.

Akechi who was standing nearby blinked and looked over to Ken’shiro.

“A new friend.” Aizen said.

“Cool, a new guy to the group!” Grimmjow said.

Akechi just gave him a smile and nod.

“Yo Akira, I got a strange question to ask you.” Hide asked.

“What’s up?” Akira asked.

“A few days after we met you, you said something strange like how you was someone else prior to who you was? What does that mean?” Hide asked.

“It’s hard to explain but, there was this guy who had green hair and glasses who I think was a fisherman who said I was apart of him until he was defeated and his soul split, I guess I’m his mortal self, I’m not really too sure about it but I think it has to be true after all the crazy stuff we been through. I even have daydreams like it’s something I have done in the past but then it just ends. It’s hard to explain.” Akira said.

“Wait, a green-haired man with glasses?” Aizen asked.

“You said he might be a fisherman?” Ken asked.

“Yeah, why?” Akira asked.

Aizen and Ken looked at him firmly.

“Oh my god, you look like him.” Aizen said.

“You know who I’m talking about?” Akira asked.

“I encountered a man on a bridge in Lumbridge that looks just like you. Perhaps there is more to you than what you and I know.” Aizen said.

“I encountered him too.” Ken said.

“Well then, a mystery yet to be solved.” Pain said.

“You don’t remember anything of your past life?” Hide asked.

“I try to remember but it only happens at random like daydreams but it only lasts for a second. It’s hard to explain.” Akira said.

“If this man lived throughout history, perhaps he has an importance of sorts.” Starrk said.

“Except he’s gone. He’s now in me, that I remember that his spirit is combined with mine right before we was brought here.” Akira said.

“Then it’s a mystery.” Aizen said with a sigh.

“We could open you up and take him out?” Yammy suggested.

“No thank you.” Akira said with a sweatdrop.

“Well, either way, you are one of us.” Dray said.

“Thank you guys so much.” Akira said.

“So Dray, you learn any more about Shinobu’s past?” Kakuzu asked.

“Sadly no, she either doesn’t talk about it or wants to change the subject. Cosmic and I won’t pressure her. I don’t know where her parents are around here either.” Dray said.

“Well, I think it’s nice you two adopted her.” Ken said.

“We couldn’t just leave her alone. She’s still in a child form when the rest of us are in our early twenties.” Dray said.

“Which is a big mystery.” Aizen said.

“This whole thing is one big mystery. Think about it guys, Tenebris fooled the entire universe for over ten thousand years. Nothing surprises me no more.” Hidan said.

“Aizen, you come up with any plans on how to get us out of this life?” Decorus asked.

Aizen shook his head.

“I can’t think of anything. I hate to admit this is our eternity but-” Aizen began to say.

“We cannot lose hope.” Nishio said.

Everyone nodded.

“Your right, sorry, I almost lost my hope.” Aizen said.

“So other than that, Nishio, you and Karura are dating huh?” Decorus asked.

“Karura? Really?” Grimmjow asked.

“Okay before you guys start asking me questions, it’s none of your business.” Nishio said.

“I’m your father.” Adam said.

“I’m still zipping my mouth.” Nishio said.

“Did you tell your mother?” Adam asked.

“She sort of walked in on us…” Nishio said.

“How embarrassing!” Hide said laughing.

“How is Serenity anyway?” Sasori asked.

“She puts on a smile but I know she’s sad.” Nishio said.

“About me?” Adam asked.

“About everything, not just you two’s… you know.” Nishio said and looked away.

There was a moment of silence.

“Nishio, I and your mother’s love just fell is all after we came here. We spoke to you and Iris about it and I wish I could tell you that we want to try to work things out but, our flame is gone. Besides, we aren’t upset about it, she and I still talk. We are all friends.” Adam said.

“Yeah I know, I just think this sucks. Tenebris fucked all of our lives up.” Nishio said.

“You think she’ll ever date again?” James asked.

“I don’t know, I encourage her too.” Adam said.

“Well now that she is single, that means I can chastise her!” Dray said.

Stolas grabbed Dray’s ear along with Qrow doing so to the other ear.

“No, you won’t!” Both of them shouted.

“Agh!” Dray said in pain.

“It sounds like she’s quite the girl.” Akechi said.

“That she is.” Luke said.

“How attractive is she exactly? Now you got my curiosity.” Akechi said.

“She’d make anyone straight or lesbian for her.” Gregar said.

“That green hair and beautiful red crimson eyes.” Hide said with a thumbs up.

“That’s my daughter you’re all talking about!” Dray shouted.

“And my niece!” Qrow shouted next.

“And my mother!” Nishio shouted last.

“S-sorry I had to bring it up.” Akechi said.

“Oh, so you don’t think she’s attractive?” Dray asked.

“What?” Akechi asked taken aback.

“I will have you know my mother is very attractive!” Nishio said.

“That’s right!” Dray said with a nod.

Everyone looked at them with a sweatdrop.

“Let’s change the subject… so back to you Nishio with Karura, what’s that like.” Gin said.

“Oh god back to this again. Look she’s cool, and she rubs my head.” Nishio said.

“Of course, the infamous head rub.” Zangei said.

Everyone began to nod and agree.

“Headrub.” Hide said while he was still nodding.

James shrugged.

“Can’t beat a head rub.” James said.

“I’m surprised she didn’t hurt you yet.” Aizen said.

“Come on, she isn’t Jessica.” Nishio said.

“That’s true.” Aizen said with a nod.

They all began to talk about Jessica to Aizen.

Akechi stood up stretching and looking over to Dray.

“Mind if I take a little stroll?” Akechi asked.

“No need to ask.” Dray said.

“Ah sorry, I just felt it was polite to ask first.” Akechi said.

Akechi walked away from the group but took a quick look back to make sure he wasn’t followed before heading off.

Meanwhile, the girls were finishing up and walking and talking about things.

Serenity was listening to them talk and she turned her head looking at a few people laying in the mud with depressed looks on their faces.

“Serenity.” Octavia said.

Serenity snapped out of it and turned her head to look at Octavia.

“You okay?” Octavia asked.

“No.” Serenity said.

Octavia looked over at what she was looking at.

“I’m going to walk around elsewhere for a bit. I will head back home when I’m done.” Serenity said.

“Alright, if anyone notices you’re not walking with us I will mention it.” Octavia said.

“Thanks.” Serenity said.

The two fist-bumped and Serenity walked off in another direction.

Chapter 4: The Long Awaited Forgiveness

An hour later… Serenity carefully climbed onto some large thorn vines until she reached the top of the highest one to look at the horizon of many species within the nightmare lands.

She let out a sigh seeing how everyone was miserable and some that tried to make the best of the situation but she knew they weren’t happy, no one was.

She saw a man trying to move a beast but only fell in the mud, his body was burned from torture recently.

Two people came up to him and helped him out.

Serenity stood there for a while looking at everything going on in front of her.

Serenity heard a grunt behind her and turned around to see Akechi climbing up.

“Hello?” Serenity asked curiously.

“Hello, you must be Serenity, yes?” Akechi asked.

“That would be me, can I help you?” Serenity asked.

Akechi stood there two feet away from Serenity.

“My name is Akechi Goro. I’m a recent new friend to Aizen, and supposingly his friends. That must mean you too?” Akechi asked.

“Yeah…?” Serenity asked as she was still confused.

“I’m sorry if I disturbed you, I just was curious why you was here all by yourself.” Akechi said.

“To be honest, I’m here because I’m trying to get my mind off our current situation.” Serenity said.

“How we are all living?” Akechi asked.

“Yeah. It’s been breaking my heart and sanity.” Serenity said.

“We cannot let such things corrupt our thoughts and steal our hearts. We control our own destinies, no one should control us.” Akechi said.

“Exactly.” Serenity said.

“Hopefully, Tenebris can be killed.” Akechi said.

“What if one day he gets tired of torturing us and decides to ultimately kill us…?” Serenity said.

“Least our suffering ends.” Akechi said.

Akechi put on a smile making Serenity feel safe.

“Like the saying goes, a little death never-” Akechi began to say.

Serenity’s eyes widened.

“Never killed anybody…” Serenity finished.

“You know the ol’ saying?” Akechi asked in surprise.

“It’s a favorite quote of mine!” Serenity said.

“Really? That’s quite interesting.” Akechi said.

Akechi and Serenity began to talk a bit more about one another for a few minutes.

Walking up to them was Akira.

“Hey uh, I don’t mean to interrupt but would you like to join us Serenity?” Akira asked.

“It’s guy’s day isn’t it?” Serenity asked.

“Yeah, why?” Akira asked.

“And you want me, a girl in it?” Serenity said.

Akira just shrugged.

“I suppose.” Serenity said.

Akechi and Serenity followed Akira.

Akira noticed how Akechi and Serenity were still discussing their interests and Akira cocked an eyebrow with a slight grin.

They walked up to the group.

“So this is where the party is.” Serenity said.

“Yo, it’s a party now!” James said.

“Hehehe!” Yammy chuckled.

“Nice to see you.” Starrk said.

“Likewise to you all.” Serenity said.

“How are you Serenity?” Ryu asked.

“I’m doing alright. So what are we talking about today boys?” Serenity asked as she sat down with them.

“Same old boring stuff.” James said.

“Well let’s spice it up. Nishio, remember the time when-” Serenity began to say.

“Mom, nothing embarrassing please.” Nishio said.

“Relax, I’m not going to tell them the time you flushed your own glasses down the toilet.” Serenity said with a grin.

“M-mom!” Nishio said.

“You flushed your glasses away?” Gin asked.

“It’s just, some kids at school made fun of me and I broke them in two and flushed them away.” Nishio said.

“Three hundred credits.” Serenity said.

“Oh shit.” Pain said.

“Didn’t you wear glasses, Akira?” Aizen asked.

“Yeah but, just for looks.” Akira said.

“Not for any eye correction?” Nishio asked.

“Or for looks?” Gin added in asking.

“Yeah?” Akira said.

“I have never heard such a thing.” Sasori said.

“Must be a future thing.” Kylo said.

“Actually that wasn’t a style in our future.” Ken said.

“Well, it was for me. I had to look less intimidating.” Akira said.

“You, intimidating?” Hidan asked with a laugh.

Akira just rolled his eyes.

“Come on, show us your angry face.” Serenity said.

Akira tried to give a mean look but it came across as scary than anything.

“You know what, maybe just have a plain look.” Hide said.

“Agreed.” Ken said.

Akira just gave them all a slight grin.

“Thought so.” Akira said.

A few minutes later as they were talking, the girls showed up.

“Oh, so this is where you guys have been.” Cosmic said.

“Enjoy your day ladies?” Stolas asked.

“We had a good time.” Lopunny said.

“Serenity, you bored with us so you decided to come here?” Zinnia asked with a grin.

“The boys can tell some interesting stories.” Serenity said.

“Embarrassing as some can be like when Aizen tried to dance.” Gin said.

“Hey!” Aizen shouted.

“You tried to dance? Come on anyone can dance.” Aruriania said.

“Well, I-” Aizen began to say.

“There you are!” Jessica shouted.

“Oh fuck.” Everyone softly said to themselves.

“Jess- agh!” Aizen shouted.

Jessica grabbed his neck strangling him.

“You killed me!” Jessica shouted.

Everyone watched what was going on.

“Is she always this crazy?” Akechi asked.

“You wouldn’t believe the shit she-” Qrow began to say.

“Someone help me!” Aizen shouted.

“We can’t die so it won’t do her any good.” Gin said.

“Oh yeah I can still breathe- but I can still feel her squeezing my neck!” Aizen shouted.

“Jessica, just tell him how you feel.” Cosmic said.

“You killed me for your own selfish gain!” Jessica yelled and got off him.

Aizen stood up dusting himself off.

“I was selfish!” Aizen yelled.

“You admit it?” Jessica asked.

“He admitted it!?” Everyone shouted.

“Yes okay I admit it, I was selfish- yes I killed you and everyone to have the power of the sphere for myself! Now look at where we are at, it was all one big trap! So continue to hate me for eternity since that’s what it seems we are at for eternity, here in this hell!” Aizen yelled.

Jessica was quiet and everyone else looked down.

Aizen sighed and walked over giving Jessica a hug in which she returned the hug back.

“I’m sorry.” Aizen said.

“And I’m sorry for shouting at you and trying to kill you back.” Jessica said softly.

“Gentlemen and ladies- but mostly fine gentlemen, may I suggest we dance?” Zarbon suggested.

“I think-” Aizen began to say.

“How about we teach Aizen how to dance.” Jessica encouraged.

“That’s the spirit!” Zarbon said.

Nnoitra began a beat with Grimmjow and James following up with it and a few random people nearby got into the beat and tapped their feet.

Everyone began to dance in weird ways while Jessica helped Aizen to square dance.

“Good, see?” Jessica said.

“Holy shit- Gin! Gin! I’m dancing!” Aizen shouted.

“Great, don’t get cocky.” Gin said.

Akechi looked at everyone with an amused look.

“Come on!” Serenity said to him.

“I’m fine thank you. It’s entertaining to see you all act like fools.” Akechi said.

“Oh, that’s it!” Serenity said grinning.

Serenity grabbed his hands pulling him in and forcing him to dance with her, which embarrassed him at first but he did it regardless for her and the two noticed Akira approach with his own style.

Akira was impressing everyone with his dance moves and everyone began to clap for him.

Suddenly there was some awes and Akira turned his head to see Makoto walking to him with a grin on her face, the two both grinned at one another and had a dance-off.

The two impressed everyone but then Dray and Cosmic approached and had a dance-off with both of them.

Everyone danced for a few more minutes before they was all tired and decided to begin to head back to their bone huts.

James was taking a long breather and Mangle kept patting his back.

“Fat people take awhile to-” Mangle began to say.

“I’m not fat!” James shouted.

“What a fat person would say.” Mangle said.

“Want me to beat her up for you!” Aruriania called out.

“I’ll help, I still need to vent some steam.” Jessica said.

“Now come on, don’t go picking on my wife.” Prompto said.

“Doesn’t she shove you in mud when she wants to be playful and you have to get it all out of your hair?” Aruriania questioned.

“Nevermind.” Prompto said.

“Traitor!” Mangle shouted as she ran off.

“See you at home babe!” Prompto said with a wave while Aruriania and Jessica chased after Mangle.

Ken and Eto walked along with Serenity and the three looked at some people nearby that looked sick and noticed one of them having recent burn marks.

“Guess that guy was chosen today.” Ken said.

“Even though we had a good time today, I sure wish we’d have a good time all the time.” Eto said.

“Serenity, you think this nightmare will ever end?” Ken asked.

“I sure hope so, I sure hope so.” Serenity said with a sigh.

“I wish I knew the truth while it was in me, maybe I could have found a way to destroy that orb.” Serenity said.

“What’s done is done, besides there could have been something made to replace it, something much more deadly.” Eto said.

“The end result would have been the same too.” Ken said.

Serenity just nodded and the three walked off together discussing other things.

Nearby watching them was a four-eyed alien male.

“That’s them.” The alien said.

Three days later…

“Norman, Norman where are you!” Beverly shouted.

“I’m over here woman, trying to grab this stupid pig thing. Whatever this creature is.” Norman said.

“Akira brought that over to us an hour ago, be careful with it!” Beverly shouted moving some bones somewhere.

“Tell it to be careful with me! Damn thing keeps struggling.” Norman groaned.

Aizen walked up to them with a slight grin.

Norman and Beverly was youthful again but one thing Aizen noticed was, how he nearly looked like Norman by the eyebrows and jaw.

“Let me help.” Aizen said quickly grabbing the pig creature.

“Thanks, son. This is a stupid pig.” Norman said.

“You know I was shocked like you to find out I am the son you two had to give away during the bad times in Gielinor during my birth.” Aizen said.

It was finally revealed, Norman and Beverly were Aizen’s parents.

Norman sighed and patted Aizen’s shoulder who in turn patted Norman’s hand.

Beverly walked up hugging Aizen and had to pull him down to kiss his cheek.

“Good boy.” Beverly said.

“Thanks mom.” Aizen said.

“How are you and that annoying girl.” Norman said.

“Jessica.” Aizen said.

“Yeah, that bitch.” Norman said.

“Now Norman it isn’t her fault that she’s a bitch.” Beverly said.

Aizen just facepalmed.

“Kind of is.” Norman said.

“She’s fine, we both made up.” Aizen said.

“You could have done better.” Norman said.

A pig ran by and knocked Norman into the mud.

“Stupid pig!” Norman shouted.

“Oh, I’m so happy that you and Jessica re-settled.” Beverly said.

“Thanks.” Aizen said.

Approaching them was the four-eyed alien.

“Excuse me, primitive.” The alien said to Aizen.

“Primitive?” Norman questioned.

“May I help you?” Aizen asked.

“I want to talk to you about the orb.” The alien said.

Aizen was surprised and didn’t know what to say.

“I overheard your friends speaking and I wanted to confirm this for myself, judging by your reaction it’s true.” The alien said.

“What’s your name?” Aizen asked.

“Javik.” Javik said.

“What would you like to know?” Aizen asked.

“It’s nothing I want to know, it’s something I want to tell you and your friends.” Javik said.

Aizen, Norman, and Beverly were surprised and looked at one another before looking forward.

A few hours later, Stolas was watching Dray changing clothes with a wide grin on his face.

“Oh Draykey, such an elegant body, oh my how I want you to **** my *** and then I will bend ****** for you to ******** me against the rocks while others watch until I *** over myself!” Stolas said and began to shout.

“What the fuck!?” Serenity shouted hearing it.

“The fuck, Dad!” Octavia shouted.

“The fuck!?” Dray shouted covering himself after hearing it.

“Language, everyone.” Stolas said.

Suddenly he was punched by Cosmic and she began to kick him while he was on the ground.

“What did I tell you! He’s straight and married to me! Friend zone! Friend zone!” Cosmic shouted.

“I’m sorry! Help someone!” Stolas shouted.

Octavia and Serenity didn’t help him and just watched.

“Ahem.” Aizen said.

They all looked at Aizen.

“I don’t mean to interrupt… whatever this is.” Aizen said cringing a bit.

“What do you need, I’m punishing our neighbor.” Cosmic said.

“Serenity can I speak to you nearby?” Aizen asked.

“But I’ll miss the show.” Serenity said.

“Serenity.” Aizen said.

Serenity just sighed and followed him.

The two arrived and met Ken, Eto, and Akira.

“What’s this about?” Ken asked.

Javik approached them.

“Me.” Javik said.

Everyone except Aizen stiffened.

“Relax he isn’t going to cause trouble.” Aizen said.

“What’s going on?” Ken asked Aizen.

“Javik here would like to talk to us about Tenebris and the orb.” Aizen said.

Everyone was shocked to hear that and looked at one another before looking at Javik.

Chapter 5: A New Hope

“You knew him?” Akira asked Javik.

“Yes, it was so long ago before my race’s extinction.” Javik said.

“Extinction?” Serenity asked.

“You know I haven’t seen your kind until we ended up here.” Eto said.

“We were extinct for over twenty thousand years after what he did.” Javik said.

“What did he do?” Serenity asked.

Nearby behind a large rock was Akechi who was listening to what was being said.

“He destroyed our society, our empire.” Javik said.

“Your empire?” Eto asked.

“Yes. We were once a grand empire that would have spanned the entire galaxy, but it never happened. Our society vanquished along with our proof of existence into what you people later called the maw system.” Javik said.

“How did he do it?” Serenity asked.

“In my cycle, our empire was conquering planets in our system, we enslaved our own people who were weaker than us, the strong. Then one day we had readings of an unknown vessel enter our system and then another, and another, and by the end of the week it was over a hundred ships. The ones you see above us in fact.” Javik said.

Everyone looked up at the triangular ships and then back to Javik.

“He obliterated our bases on planets in our system, wiped out our fleets and stations, and one day he reached our planet and bombarded us from space. We did everything we could to escape but he took our major spaceports, our defense fleets, our cities, our empire. While he was doing this, he created black holes of sorts that began to erase our system. His fleet disappeared into the darkness while our system fell into the many black holes. He wiped our existence away just like that.” Javik said.

“Holy shit.” Aizen said.

“While we was at war with him, our spies gathered intel that he used an orb to create those black holes. He was testing its power it seems and what he could do with it. Our scientists studied the readings and found its unique signature. A theory a scientist proposed was if we could use our dark energy of aether together, we could somehow have it reach into space and clutch the orb and make a wish. The only problem was, we had dark energy aether, not pure aether. Our only plan failed and thus we lost once he approached our planet.” Javik said.

“How do you know this?” Ken asked.

“I was one of the few commanders left when I heard of it. We knew possible ways to gather pure aether but it was too late. Pure aether on our planet could come from natural energy sources.” Javik said.

“So what would the plan be exactly?” Serenity asked.

“The plan would have taken time, time that we did not have. We was together what dark energy users we had to guide the aura of aether from the natural resources of plants or rivers and flow it into the sky, and into space to link to the orb that Tenebris was using. We learned he could make wishes with it so we thought if we could link the aether to it and put our psyche into the aura, we could make a wish to defeat him, think of it as a long-distance phone call but we have to establish a connection to that orb through the aetherial aura. We had two problems, time, and none of us knew how to guide aether like that with our dark energy without further research would have taken months or possibly years.” Javik said.

“So that was your attempt to stop it.” Ken said.

Javik nodded.

“Your empire must have been a testing ground for the orbs potential.” Eto said.

“I believe so.” Javik said.

“May I ask something, what sort of Empire did your people run?” Serenity asked.

“We conquered and set our goals to conquer other systems in the galaxy from you primitives.” Javik said.

“Us primitives?” Serenity commended cocking an eyebrow.

“Our species was the dominant race in my cycle.” Javik said.

“Was.” Serenity said.

Javik frowned and scoffed.

“We are all equals here, please at least don’t think of yourself as superior to us.” Serenity said.

Javik said nothing.

Aizen looked at the others.

“None of us have our powers anymore, there’s nothing we can do.” Aizen said.

“There may be one thing.” Javik said.

They looked at him curiously.

Akechi who was still hiding and listening slowly walked off the other way.

“The Underworld has a yellow aura that keeps things lit. That aura has to be filled with aether to keep it glowing.” Javik said.

“Your right. And there sure is a lot of it.” Aizen said.

“But none of us have powers to actually control it.” Eto said.

“That and the Underworld has every single bad guy known to the entire universe.” Akira said.

“You think they’d hurt us?” Ken asked.

“Definently.” Akira said.

“And we don’t know where to begin looking when we get down there either.” Aizen said.

They all was thinking about what they could do and then Serenity looked at them in shock.

“I think I know one person who knows astrological magic that could work to control aether, perhaps without the use of powers.” Serenity said.

“Who?” Everyone asked.

An hour later.

A knock on a hut door and Stolas answered it with mud around his face.

“Uh?” Aizen questioned.

“I’m trying to get a beauty work done to impress Draykey.” Stolas said.

“Again, friendzone, dad’s straight, and he’s married.” Serenity said.

“Serenity, one can dream.” Stolas said.

“More like a nightmare.” Ken mumbled.

“He is not a nightmare! I have you know he can make any straight man gay. I just so happen to be bi. I have a daughter after all.” Stolas said.

“Where is her mom?” Akira asked.

“She didn’t want to live with us so-” Stolas began to say.

“Focus please.” Aizen said to everyone.

Aizen looked back to Stolas.

“We need your help.” Aizen said.

A few minutes later after Aizen explained what was going on, Stolas paced around thinking.

“Can it be done?” Serenity asked.

“It could.” Stolas said.

“Could?” Akira asked.

“In theory, but I never tried before. It did say in my book that it was done once a long time ago, the origination of astrology abilities.” Stolas said.

“Then after powers was granted generation to generation!” Ken said as he was catching on.

“Exactly!” Stolas said with his finger pointing at Ken.

“So that means it could be done.” Eto said.

“But for us to do this we need an aura of sorts to begin.” Stolas said.

“There is an aura in the Underworld that keeps things lit.” Akira said.

Stolas looked a bit frightened.

“I know what your thinking and your right, it’s dangerous.” Serenity said.

“Very dangerous, we would be down there with evil people.” Stolas said.

“We’re going to need to go down there regardless if this is a chance of freedom.” Aizen said.

“I suppose so.” Stolas said.

“How should we proceed?” Ken asked.

“We must dominate the Underworld.” Javik suggested.

“We would be ganged up immediately.” Serenity said.

“But he’s partially right, we need to look intimidating so no one bothers us.” Aizen said.

“How about a large group?” Serenity suggested.

“That sounds like a good choice, I will gather all of our friends.” Aizen said.

“It will take a few days to get everything prepared.” Ken said.

“That can give me time to try to remember what we must do when we reach the aura.” Stolas said.

“No staring at my dad then during that time.” Serenity said.

“Oh Serenity come now, would I really do that?” Stolas asked.

“Fuck yes.” Serenity said.

“Language.” Stolas said.

“You’re the biggest curser around!” Everyone shouted.

Stolas just tapped his fingers together nervously.

“Let’s get to work.” Akira said to break the tension.

As they were walking away, Javik walked over to Serenity.

“Thank you for listening, primitive.” Javik said.

“Serenity.” Serenity said.

Javik just stared at her.

“My name is Serenity.” Serenity said.

“Take the compliment.” Javik said.

Serenity sighed.

“We’ll work it later.” Serenity said.

“Work on what?” Javik asked.

“Nothing, let’s get to work.” Serenity said.

As they walked away from one another Javik mumbled to himself.

“Primitives nowadays.” Javik said while shaking his head in disappointment.

“Men nowadays.” Serenity said rubbing her temples.

The next day, Serenity finished talking to Itachi and Starrk and waved at them as they went to tell a few others of the plan.

Walking up to her was Akechi.

“Hello.” Akechi said.

“Did you hear the news?” Serenity asked.

“Eto informed me.” Akechi said.

“So you in?” Serenity asked.

“Of course, I wouldn’t miss this. I may also offer any sort of fighting that might be needed.” Akechi said.

“You can fight?” Serenity asked.

“Why yes, though with perhaps a bone rod of sorts, not really good with hand to hand combat.” Akechi said with a smile.

“I could teach you sometime.” Serenity said.

“You could? Why that’d be wonderful. Being trained by the hero herself.” Akechi said.

“Heh, come on I’m not that much of a hero.” Serenity said.

“Not from what I heard about you.” Akechi said.

“And what else have you heard about me?” Serenity asked.

“Oh, someone said you was attractive to the point of people being hypnotized by your looks. Oh, and your crimson eyes are like rubies in the night sky.” Akechi said.

Serenity’s face blushed.

“And what’s your assessment?” Serenity asked.

Akechi just gave her a smirk and walked up toward her making her blush even more.

“I-” Akechi began to say.

“Hey uh, am I interrupting something?” Octavia asked walking up.

“No of course not no, he was just heading out, right?” Serenity asked.

“Yes, I was just heading out. I will see you later Serenity.” Akechi said.

“See you soon!” Serenity said.

The two waved at one another and walked off in different directions but took a moment to look back to one another before carrying on.

As Serenity was walking off, Octavia walked up to her.

“I saw that.” Octavia said.

“Saw what?” Serenity asked.

“How you two had a moment, quite cute.” Octavia said.

“It was just a friendly chat.” Serenity said.

“An awkward chat that felt a bit heated in a romantic way.” Octavia said.

Serenity rolled her eyes.

“I got no time for love.” Serenity said.

“Excuses.” Octavia said.

The two walked off together toward Kugo and his friends.

“Come on, we got a job to do.” Serenity said.

“Fine, but we will talk about this later.” Octavia said.

Serenity sighed.

“I’m never going to catch a break am I?” Serenity asked.

“Nope!” Octavia said.

“You’re embarrassing like your dad.” Serenity said.

“Same goes to you and your embarrassing dad.” Octavia said.

The two looked at one another and nodded.

“Agreed.” They both said to one another.

“We got some strange dads alright.” Octavia said.

“Best dads though.” Serenity said.

The two approached Kugo and his friends and began to talk to them about the plan.

Nearby, two white fox ears perked up from behind a hut and moved around but then stopped in front of Nishio.

“Aunt.” Nishio said.

Mangle popped her head out as her fox ears twitched.

“Are you spying again?” Nishio asked.

“Yup, because I’m bored. I think your mom and Akechi are getting frisky for one another.” Mangle said.

“And that’s your business why?” Nishio asked.

Mangle was silent.

Nishio suddenly gasped.

“Mom might date again!?” Nishio shouted.

“There we go.” Mangle said as she was waiting for him to realize what she said.

“I don’t know, do you think mom can handle it?” Nishio asked.

“No clue, all I know is, this is going to be interesting to watch. More interesting than seeing you try to seduce Karura the first time you two dated.” Mangle said.

“First off, it’s hard to date when I was tortured that day. And she came onto me first.” Nishio said.

“But you initiated it.” Mangle said.

Nishio didn’t know what to say and just looked away.

“Thought so.” Mangle said.

“Just curious, how much do we know about Akechi?” Nishio asked.

Mangle tilted her head and didn’t know what to say.

Nishio gave her a shrug and the two walked off pondering about it.

Chapter 6: To The Underworld We Go!

Both Serenity and Octavia were at one of the enterances to the Underworld and were looking in.

“Pretty dark.” Octavia said.

Serenity looked back at Severity and Neopolitan.

“We got it from here.” Serenity said.

“Are you sure?” Neopolitan asked as she was finally speaking.

“Yeah, we are just going to look and see if there is any light source when we first enter.” Serenity said.

“Okay.” Severity said with a shrug.

The two walked off speaking to one another.

“They are somewhat of a cute couple.” Octavia said.

“Least she’s finally talking.” Serenity said.

“She didn’t before?” Octavia asked.

“Well it’s-” Serenity began to say.

Suddenly they heard talking inside which the voices sounded familiar to Serenity.

“Stay back, I hear people talking.” Serenity said.

“They’re coming this way.” Octavia said.

Serenity and Octavia hid on each side of the underworld entrance and walking out was Marik and Bakura.

“I cannot believe you got us kicked out!” Bakura shouted at him.

“They are just jealous, one day we will return as their kings!” Marik said.

“You two!?” Serenity said.

Marik and Bakura jumped and turned around.

“You!?” Marik said.

“You know them?” Octavia asked.

“Met them a long time ago when we fought Shaula.” Serenity said.

“Yes, and you made us unemployed.” Marik said.

Serenity rolled her eyes.

“Listen we were kicked out of the Underworld and need to know where to go from here, could you help us?” Bakura asked.

“Why was you two kicked out?” Octavia asked.

Bakura thumbed to Marik.

“It wasn’t entirely my fault! They didn’t bow to me!” Marik said.

“He wanted everyone in the Underworld to accept him as their leader and looked like a complete idiot. So he was kicked out and later made me get kicked out since he lied to them saying I believed him to be our king.” Bakura said.

“If I go down, you go down with me. Your king demands it.” Marik said.

“You idiot… besides there are already four leaders down there anyway.” Bakura said.

“Four?” Serenity asked.

“Yes. There are four leaders in the Underworld. A man called the Plague Doctor, Echidna Gorgon, a giant insect known as the Aparoid Queen, and a fucking bird named Shen.” Bakura said.

“Echidna…” Serenity mumbled in surprise.

“The Aparoid Queen.” Octavia mumbled at the same time.

“You know those two?” Bakura asked.

“It’s a long story- listen can you two come with us please?” Serenity asked.

“Why?” Marik asked.

Serenity sighed.

“We need to know where to go in the Underworld and you two have been there for a while I take it.” Serenity said.

“Even if we wanted to, he got us kicked out.” Bakura said pointing to Marik.

“Please you guys, we can keep you protected.” Serenity said.

“Why do you want to go down there?” Bakura asked.

“We need to tell them.” Octavia said.

Marik and Bakura looked at one another and then to the girls cocking their eyebrows.

A few minutes after explaining, Marik and Bakura nodded and followed Serenity and Octavia to their friends.

An hour later.

“Absolutely not!” Dray said.

“Dad, they were down there and know where to go.” Serenity said.

“They’re idiots! Especially the one looking at himself!” Dray said.

Marik was checking out his own body while Bakura gave Dray a mean look.

“Dad.” Serenity said.

“Serenity’s right, They can be a great help to us.” Aizen said.

“Fine, but I’m coming with you guys.” Dray said.

“Same here.” Cosmic said.

“I think we all should go, bigger numbers will mean no one will try to mess with us.” Aizen said.

“When do we leave?” Javik asked.

“Tomorrow, let everyone know now okay?” Aizen asked Gin.

Gin nodded and walked off.

“I’ll help.” Cosmic said walking up behind him.

“You promise to keep us safe, yes?” Bakura asked.

“Yes.” Aizen said.

“How many people did you two- I mean, did HE piss off?” Dray asked while pointing to Marik.

“Everyone.” Bakura sighed.

“They’re just jealous of me!” Marik said.

“You annoyed them.” Bakura said.

“Because I’m there king, they are to pay attention to me.” Marik said.

Aizen turned around and looked at Ken and Eto who were already getting annoyed by Marik.

“Maybe we could do this blind…” Aizen said.

“As much as I’d like us to do this ourselves, we will need their help.” Eto said.

Aizen sighed looking back to Marik.

“Tomorrow we will meet at the entrance and-” Aizen said.

“I shall lead us!” Marik said.

“Fine fine, you will lead us.” Aizen said.

“Where is it you guys need to go?” Bakura asked.

“Is there a main source of aura that glows in the Underworld?” Stolas asked.

“There is but we haven’t gotten too close to it since that’s where the leaders are.” Bakura said.

“Wait to hold on, you’re telling me that the leaders like the Aparoid Queen are in that spot?” Octavia asked.

“Aparoid Queen?” Ken asked.

“Yes. I take it none of you like them?” Bakura asked.

“It’s a long story but let’s just say we was their enemies in the past life.” Serenity said.

“Well then, won’t this be fun for you all.” Bakura said.

“If we are going I need to find makeup to look good- is there any makeup around here?” Marik asked.

“What do you think?” Bakura said.

“Well I don’t know if they have made it or not, we been living underground.” Marik said.

“No.” Dray said.

“Shoot- then I guess I have to go looking like a minority like yourselves.” Marik said with a sigh.

Everyone gave him a look.

“Forgive him please.” Bakura said facepalming.

“Let’s get some rest everyone.” Aizen said.

Later on, Serenity was packing a few things and she was greeted by Akechi.

“Need a hand?” Akechi asked.

“It isn’t much.” Serenity said.

“I figured since none of us really have anything but I wouldn’t mind to carry it for you.” Akechi said.

Serenity smiled and so did Akechi while looking at one another.

“Ahem.” Octavia said breaking the silence.

“Oh! I forgot I need to check on Aizen!” Akechi said and walked out quickly.

“But Aizen is doing okay?” Sasori said who was nearby and heard what he said.

“No he isn’t!” Akechi said.

Sasori blinked and went back to work.

“I need to check on dad.” Serenity said.

Octavia grabbed Serenity before she walked out and put her back.

“Admit it, you got a crush on him.” Octavia said.

“Maybe a little, but I can’t fall in love again.” Serenity said.

“Oh, I’m sure you could if you try.” Octavia said with a grin.

“Really I’m not going to do that.” Serenity said.

Akechi walked off and was greeted by Gin.

“So, I saw you and Serenity getting nearly frisky.” Gin said.

“Nothing is going on.” Akechi said.

“The look you two gave one another sure didn’t say nothing.” Gin said.

Akechi just sighed and composed himself.

“Look we got a mission to do.” Akechi said.

“Is that mission to kiss her?” Gin asked.

Akechi just frowned.

“Kiss who?” Ken asked walking up with Eto.

“Serenity.” Gin said.

“Serenity!?” Ken and Eto asked.

“Gin!” Akechi shouted.

“You like Serenity?” Ken asked raising an eyebrow.

“Can we drop this?” Akechi asked.

“Strange I thought Serenity said she likes him too.” Eto said.

“Wait she does?” Akechi asked.

“I thought you said we should drop this?” Gin asked.

“Yeah yeah yeah, I changed my mind now.” Akechi said.

“I was lying to see what you would say.” Eto said.

“Bitch.” Akechi said in his mind but gave a fake smile.

“That was quite the trick you pulled on me. Well done!” Akechi said.

Eto just grinned at him.

A few minutes later, Eto approached Serenity and Octavia.

“I think you got a crush.” Eto said.

“You too?” Serenity asked.

Eto didn’t know what to say.

“I mean- Octavia came to me about Akechi and now are you?” Serenity asked.

“Try holding his hand sometime, see what he does.” Eto said with a shrug.

“We have important things to worry about, like our future.” Serenity said.

“Sure sure.” Eto said.

The next day, everyone was gathered up and ready to go while waiting on Bakura and Marik to arrive.

“They was suppose to be here an hour ago.” Aizen said.

“Maybe they got lost?” Gin asked.

“I told them to stay at Dray’s- Dray can you check to see if they are coming?” Aizen asked.

Dray sighed and returned to his tent only to find Marik asleep and Bakura being the one to pack.

“Seriously?” Dray asked.

“Seriously.” Bakura sighed.

Dray walked up and kicked Marik.

“Ow! I’m awake!” Marik said.

“You’re just lazy.” Dray said.

“I need my beauty sleep, and since none of us can sleep its beauty rest.” Marik said.

Dray and Bakura both grabbed him dragging him along the mud.

“Ahh! My beautiful face!” Marik shouted.

A few minutes later they returned and dropped Marik.

“Everyone ready?” Bakura asked while ignoring Marik’s groans.

“We are.” Aizen said.

Bakura beckoned everyone to follow but Marik ran up ahead.

“I am the leader! I shall lead!” Marik said.

Bakura sighed as everyone else didn’t argue and just wanted to hurry up.

As they was following Marik, Stolas looked over to Aizen.

“We will need to find the most aura in the Underworld for me to see how we could utilize it.” Stolas said.

“Just curious, how hard will it be?” Aizen asked.

“Very difficult.” Stolas said.

“Anything we can do to help?” Cosmic asked.

“Not really, just give me time to think after we find the most aura.” Stolas said.

“We will probably need to keep you protected while you focus.” Aizen said.

“That would help.” Stolas said.

The group entered the cave and it was at first dark but then they saw light coming from the corners of the tunnel.

“We will be entering a large cavern soon.” Bakura said.

“Will we run into any problems?” Serenity asked.

“Plenty.” Bakura said.

Once they exited the tunnel, they appeared in a large cavern with a glowing yellow aura spread everywhere.

There was bone huts scattered everywhere with some random people fighting one another.

One man was being beaten right beside them constantly.

“Seems it’s just as lively since we last left!” Marik said.

“Which was yesterday.” Bakura added.

Everyone looked around.

“So this is where every bad person in the entire universe stays? It’s awful down here.” Ken said.

“I’m not bad.” Marik said.

“You was.” Serenity said.

“We was.” Bakura added.

“I was not!” Marik shouted.

Some Underworld citizens began to turn their heads looking at them and started to go their direction.

“Okay moving on, can you take us to the place that has the most aura?” Aizen asked.

“If they apologize.” Marik said crossing his arms.

“Marik we do not have time for this!” Bakura shouted.

Suddenly they was being swarmed by a group of different people holding bone clubs.

“Uh, guys?” Makoto said.

Everyone looked around.

“We told you to get out!” A giant man shouted at Marik.

Marik quickly hid behind Aizen.

“He’s the leader, not me.” Marik said.

Aizen just gave a deadpan stare.

“Listen we are here on an important mission.” Dray said.

“You’re leaving.” One of them said.

“We aren’t going to bother any of you.” Cosmic said.

“Hold on!” A voice called out.

The Underworld citizens moved out of the way for the individual to arrive looking directly at Aizen.

It was the Plague Doctor.

“One of the Underworld leaders.” Bakura said.

“I know him.” Aizen said.

“Aizen.” The Plague Doctor said.

Jessica held Aizen’s arm tightly while glaring at the Plague Doctor.

The Plague Doctor looked at all of the Underworld Citizens gathering around.

“Escort them to our chamber, we want to have a word with them.” The Plague Doctor said.

“Oh shit.” Bakura said.

“What’s going to happen?” Octavia asked.

“Maybe they’ll kindly let us go?” Mangle said.

“Now isn’t the time for joking.” Octavia said.

“They’re going to hurt us, big time.” Bakura said.

Everyone was shoved to follow the Plague Doctor and they did as they noticed they was outnumbered.

“We will play along for now.” Serenity said.

“I know one thing, we’re in serious trouble.” Dray said.

“On a bright note, we are heading toward the main glow of the aura, so perhaps this will work in our favor.” Stolas said.

“Just keep quiet about it until after you solve it okay?” Dray asked.

“Got it.” Stolas said.

“We will keep the attention on us for this one.” Aizen said.

They were all escorted toward the main cavern chamber nearby.

Chapter 7: Hello Darkness My Old Friend, We Meet Again

As everyone was walking into the main chamber in the Underworld, Stolas noticed the aura was strong in the area and leaned down to Dray.

“This is the area.” Stolas whispered.

“Damn, and were being brought to their leaders.” Dray said.

“I guess we have to deal with them first.” Stolas said.

“The only problem is, one of them.” Dray said.

“The Aparoid Queen.” Stolas said.

“No? Echidna.” Dray said.

“All of them.” Aizen said.

Before they asked Aizen what he meant, they was guided into the chamber and they first saw the Aparoid Queen hovering over them looking down at them, and then below her was Echidna, The Plague Doctor, and Lord Shen.

“Aizen.” The Plague Doctor said.

“Serenity.” Echidna said.

“Ken and Eto.” The Aparoid Queen said.

“Akira.” Shen said.

“Mangle.” Mangle said.

Everyone looked at Mangle with an annoyed look and then looked back to one another.

“You are bold to come down here.” The Plague Doctor said.

“We believe there is a way to change our future, to stop Tenebris once and for all.” Aizen said.

“Oh really?” The Plague Doctor asked sarcastically.

“It’s true.” Serenity said.

“In case you fools don’t realize, none of us have any powers anymore. The son of a bitch took it from us.” Echidna said.

“But that’s the thing, we discovered a way to go around that problem.” Aizen said.

“Save it, we don’t want to hear it.” Shen said.

“Besides, it’s too late for you anyway. We have been waiting to get our revenge for a long time.” Echidna said.

“Ah, crap.” Dray groaned.

The Aparoid Queen flew over them and was about to land her body on them until everyone except Aizen moved out of the way and he was crushed into the ground.

“Agh!” Aizen groaned.

Echidna ran at Ken and Eto and swung both of her fists into their faces blasting them away.

“Shit, we need to attack!” Ken shouted.

Everyone began to fight other citizens in the Underworld while Aizen faced off against the Aparoid Queen and Ken and Eto faced off against Echidna.

Serenity ran in to help only to be knocked down by Shen who tried to use his talons to hurt her but she backflipped away and tried to avoid his attacks.

The Plague Doctor was going to help Shen but was tackled down by Akira and the two fist-fought for a while before The Plague Doctor kicked him away and tried to run off only for Akira to follow.

Serenity brought out a bone rib that she packed and swung it at Shen who avoided it and leaped over Serenity jumping on her face to knock her back and flew back to avoid her incoming swing.

Nearby, Aizen was still being pummeled down by the Aparoid Queen and managed to hide behind some rocks.

“Can someone help me!” Aizen shouted.

The Aparoid Queen pushed the rocks away and pummeled him down.

“Someone!” Aizen squealed.

“A little busy at the moment!” Ken yelled while holding Echidna’s fist.

Eto jumped on Echidna to try to get her away from Ken but she was flung away.

“Fucking brat!” Echidna yelled.

Akira moved left to right to avoid the Plague Doctors fists before managing to shove him down and punch him across the face.

“Stop! We aren’t here to fight!” Akira said.

“Then you should have stayed up there where you people belong.” The Plague Doctor said.

Akira rolled his eyes and kicked the Plague Doctor before running over to help Aizen but the Plague Doctor caught up jumping on Akira knocking him down next.

Serenity ducked from Shen’s attack and smashed her elbow into his face knocking him back.

“This is getting annoying!” Serenity yelled.

“Tell me about it!” Gin shouted while fighting off two Underworld citizens.

Echidna managed to grab both Ken and Eto’s necks and throw them into Aizen and Akira.

All of them headed their way before Serenity jumped in.

“I have been waiting a long time for this moment.” Echidna said growling.

Right before they went back to fight, they heard Iris shouting to everyone to stop.

“Please stop!” Iris yelled running in to stand in front of Serenity and face Echidna and the others.

“Who the hell is this?” Echidna said.

“Iris, get out now.” Serenity said.

“No mother, this has to stop.” Iris said.

Iris looked at their former villains.

“You fought my mother a long time ago because of whatever evil scheme you had.” Iris said.

“Evil scheme? Oh no my dear, I wanted everything for myself!” Echidna said.

“That’s an evil scheme! Look at what Tenebris is doing to all of us. We hate it. But I am questioning if you was controlled yourself.” Iris said.

“Don’t be ridiculous, no one controls me.” Echidna said.

“But I bet they used to! I bet you weren’t always this monster that you became from your distorted desires.” Iris said.

Echidna glared at her not saying a word.

“And you, mister peacock-” Iris said.

“Shen.” Shen said.

“Mister Shen, I bet you didn’t want to rule all of Gielinor, I heard that you was once sick, and Armadyl thought of you as useless, so you forged your own path against the rules of your culture.” Iris said.

“You don’t know me.” Shen said.

“But I know you must have hurt.” Iris said.

Shen was silent.

“Miss Aparoid Queen, you wanted to take souls so you could have your own. I don’t know who told you that you didn’t have a soul but you are alive, you are aware, you have a soul like the synthetics down here with us. Look at the Geth, and the Alexandrian Robots. They are down here, they are half Sentient. If they are down here then for sure you have a soul too.” Iris said.

The Aparoid Queen was silent.

“Mister Plague Doctor-” Iris began to say.

“Save it.” The Plague Doctor said.

“That’s the point, you wanted to save all of Gielinor from their so-called plague that you thought killing them was the answer. Everyone gets sick or causes a plague, but throughout history, people overcome it no matter what.” Iris said.

The Plague Doctor went silent.

Aizen sighed.

“Corvus, she’s right.” Aizen said to the Plague Doctor.

Aizen stood back up.

“You wanted to cure people by killing those that were plagued or sick to get rid of the sickness of our planet while I wanted to rule the planet without care of any plague. We was both in the wrong.” Aizen said.

“I suppose we were, but I wanted to save people.” The Plague Doctor said.

“You went about it the wrong way, but it’s okay. I forgive you.” Aizen said.

The Plague Doctor sighed.

“I guess we have no reason to fight.” The Plague Doctor said.

Ken and Eto looked at the Aparoid Queen.

“You invaded our galaxy because someone told you that you had no soul? Who told you that?” Ken asked.

“I do not know how I was made, I just woke up and became the queen automatically of our race.” The Aparoid Queen said.

“So you think you was just made that you have no soul?” Eto asked.

“My workers are drones, they serve me. Who doesn’t say I was meant to serve as a puppet.” The Aparoid Queen said.

“That’s the thing, you aren’t though. Your drones are alive. You are alive.” Ken said.

“You’re right.” The Aparoid Queen said as her Aparoid workers spoke to one another amongst the crowd.

“We will permit you to be here.” The Aparoid Queen said.

Akira rubbed his head while looking at Shen.

“Listen, I’m sorry for what your parents did to you. I bet it wasn’t easy growing up. But to take over Gielinor of all planets?” Akira asked.

“They was weak and easy to control until Aizen came in and began to control each Kingdom to foil my plans.” Shen said.

“Why control a planet though?” Akira asked.

“To prove to my race that I’m not to be shunned away due to my illness, I overcame it but I wanted to get back at them. To get back at Armadyl to become the new god of our people, except my race went extinct from in-fighting.” Shen said.

“So you had no other purpose but to prove to yourself that you weren’t useless.” Akira said.

Shen just nodded.

“You aren’t useless, heck look at what you accomplished, you’re intelligent. Even skilled with a blade.” Akira said with a shrug.

“I suppose you’re right.” Shen said tapping his chin.

“So you going to give up?” Akira asked.

“You win, all of you win.” Shen said.

Echidna sighed.

“When I was a child, my parents studied rituals to grow in power but told me I wasn’t ready. I grew jealous and did it on my own, but the darkness made me happy, the dark side comforted me and I felt like what I was doing was right, my mind went blank with the lust of power.” Echidna said.

“So that’s why you went mad with power and created the Daemons.” Serenity said.

Echidna nodded.

“To create an army to defeat Ardyn, yes, instead I corrupted him. But deep down during that time, I knew there was no going back once I began this path. I wanted the entire galaxy in my palm.” Echidna said.

“You could have asked for help.” Serenity said.

“That’s weak.” Echidna said.

“It’s stronger to ask because you defeat your own pride.” Serenity said.

Echidna looked down not knowing what to say.

The upworld and underworld citizens began to look at one another and began to speak to one another in a calm way.

Iris walked up to Echidna and to everyone’s surprise, she hugged her.

Echidna’s eyes widened.

Dray passed out and no one caught him.

Echidna’s body began to crack and the dark side within her began to fade away, her skin color was changing.

“I forgive you.” Iris said.

Dray got back up.

Echidna’s body began to manifest to look, quite normal in fact. Her hair became a golden color and her height decreased to a normal height, she looked like a normal and beautiful human.

Dray again passed out and no one caught him.

Echidna looked at herself and smiled.

“Back to what I once was.” Echidna said with relief and gave Iris a tight hug.

For a few minutes, everyone began to talk to one another.

“So does this mean we are welcome?” Aizen asked.

Echidna and the others nodded.

“Is it okay if we ask help for forgiveness?” The Plague Doctor asked.

Aizen nodded.

“We will help you.” Aizen said.

“I won’t.” Mangle said.

Cosmic whacked her head.

“Ow!” Mangle said.

Dray got back up rubbing his head.

“Are you done?” Cosmic asked him.

“I think, I think I need time to absorb all of this in.” Dray said weakly.

Serenity patted Iris’s shoulder.

“I’m proud of you.” Serenity said making Iris smile and hug her.

Akechi stood behind some people watching and listening and then lowered his head before walking off.

Eto looked at Stolas.

“So, what do we do now?” Eto asked.

“Give me time to see what can be done and I will ask for you all to gather here so we can talk.” Stolas said as he began to get to work looking at the aura.

Eto nodded and walked over to Aizen to tell him.

“So does this mean I’m the King of the Underworld again?” Marik asked.

Everyone turned their heads glaring at him.

“I take that as a yes.” Marik said proudly

“May I beat him up now?” James asked.

“Yup!” Serenity said.

“Wait, what?” Marik asked.

“Anyone want to help me out?” James asked.

“Me.” Karura said.

“I’m on board.” Bakura added.

“Traitor!” Marik shouted.

“Damn right, now hold still.” Bakura said.

The next thing you hear was a loud whacking sound.

Chapter 8: I’ll Make A Warrior Out Of You

A few days later, Stolas asked for everyone to come down to the main source of aura in the Underworld to discuss what to do next.

“So, can it be done?” Akira asked.

Stolas nodded with a smile.

“Yes, but not without complications.” Stolas said.

“Which are?” Aizen asked.

“I’m going to need at least a hundred aether practitioners or masters to help me meditate around the aura to control it.” Stolas said.

“I’m sure we can find a hundred of them.” Aizen said.

“Not too hard.” Serenity said.

“Well, here’s the hard part, we need at least fifty years to fully control it.” Stolas said.

“Fifty years!?” Aizen said.

“Maybe fifty-one if we are to be for sure.” Stolas said.

“Fifty-one years is too long.” Ken said.

“I’m sorry but it’s the least amount of time I can come up with. Since none of us have powers or any such abilities to help us, we have to do it old school, the way the ancient shamans used to achieve it.” Stolas said.

“Yeah, but didn’t shamans have books or something?” Akira asked.

“Do you see books down here?” Stolas asked.

“Good point.” Akira said with a sigh.

Serenity thought for a moment and nodded.

“Okay, let’s do it.” Serenity said.

“As if we have a choice.” Eto said.

“I think I have an idea, to what we do for fifty years while we wait.” Serenity said.

“I think I got the same idea you do.” Aizen said.

“Which is?” Akira asked them.

“We must train every single person and perhaps every single beast for fifty years.” Serenity said.

“Train them in what knowledge?” Eto asked.

“Fighting of any kind, perhaps strategy too.” Serenity said.

“I also suggest weapon emplacement operations and ship controls.” Aizen said.

“Why that?” Serenity asked.

“If we are going to make our wishes, we should wish for war machines of sorts. Thus they will have cannons on them. We need something to go up against those ships. We need to teach everyone what each console does, we need to somehow recreate those consoles to look almost identical to the real thing to teach people.” Aizen said.

“We got a lot of bones and rocks.” Ken said.

“We could construct something similar.” Eto said.

Aizen nodded.

“Bone ribs for swords? Perhaps some intestines wrapped bones to mimic a gun?” Serenity suggested.

“I like the sound of that.” Akira said.

“Do you think the Dragon race could allow us to fly on their backs to create a flight simulation of sorts?” Ken asked.

“I’ll ask the King Black Dragon.” Aizen said.

“We need to make sure every single person that lives down here is on board.” Eto reminded them.

Everyone looked at one another for a moment.

“It might take a year to spread the word down here to every single living being.” Stolas said.

“I think as rumor has it, there are sexdecillion people that are here. I don’t know how many beasts though.” Aizen said.

“Sex…” Stolas said grinning covering his mouth.

“Focus.” Eto said rolling her eyes.

“It will take a long time to spread word to everyone down here of what we are planning to do. We need everyone, and I mean everyone to know if this is to work.” Aizen said.

“But how do we convince everyone?” Ken asked.

“We give them hope.” Serenity said.

“Exactly.” Akira said.

“Then it’s agreed?” Serenity asked them.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

“We must also ask a few of our friends who have excellent knowledge in fighting and strategy to help train everyone.” Ken said.

“I think we can spread word for teachers.” Aizen said.

“And I know of one…” Serenity said thinking on it.

Akechi walked out from behind a few large rocks.

“Oh, hey Akechi!” Aizen said.

“I was looking for you, do you need my help today?” Akechi asked.

“How about I get you up to date on what’s going on okay?” Aizen asked.

“Of course that’d be great.” Akechi said.

Aizen walked off with Akechi and Ken looked over to Eto.

“How long have we known him?” Ken asked.

The next day, Serenity tapped a piece of bone on a bone post outside of a hut and waited.

Standing with her was Aizen, Ken, Eto, and Akira.

“So who are we seeing?” Ken asked.

Serenity kept quiet but gave him a grin.

“I don’t like that reply.” Ken said with a sweatdrop.

Opening the hut door was, Madara Uchiha.

When he saw Serenity he gave her a calm smile.

“A pleasure to see you.” Madara said.

“Do you have time to talk?” Serenity asked.

“I suppose if you brought these guys, this must be important.” Madara said.

They discussed their plan with Madara who nodded in understanding.

“I will need extra instructors- a lot of extra instructors actually.” Madara said.

“I’m sure we can find them.” Aizen said.

“I’d be honored to help train people- just know, no slacking off.” Madara said.

“I understand.” Serenity said.

“I can’t really train a thousand together, I should take different groups each day. These people need knowledge not just of my expertise but of others as well.” Madara said.

“That’s the current plan.” Ken said.

“It won’t be easy, but we have fifty-one years, that’s plenty of time I think to train every single person on how to fight and to gain knowledge.” Aizen said.

“You are asking for the impossible you know.” Madara said.

They went quiet.

Madara just gave them a grin.

“A good thing I make impossible things possible. And if I can do that, then everyone can.” Madara said.

“Heh, then I guess it’s time we get to work.” Akira said.

“Let me know when everyone is on board and bring me those willing to teach so we can all consult together on what we do.” Madara said.

“It will take time.” Aizen said.

“We got un-ending time.” Madara said.

“True- but not in the way I’d want.” Eto said looking around.

“Not in the way anyone wants. I guarantee though, everyone will be on board. No one wants to keep living like this.” Madara said.

“Let’s do this.” Serenity said holding up her fist.

A few days later, all of their friends went out to spread the word and the word spread like a wildfire.

In a year, every single living being was willing to go through intense training to have a chance for freedom, it was their only chance they had.

On the first day of training, Serenity, Aizen, Ken, Eto, and Akira along with all of their friends and former enemies were gathered together with Madara standing over some bones looking down at them

“Out of the ten million teachers, I will teach this group here.” Madara told them all about them.

“So when are-” Mangle began to say.

Madara threw a rock at Mangle.

“Ow, why!” Mangle shouted.

“I didn’t say you could speak.” Madara said and threw another rock.

Aruriania had a big grin on her face.

Mangle kept her mouth shut but gave a death stare at Madara.

Madara kicked up a long bone leg and spun it around without breaking eye contact and twirled it around to their amazement before slamming it down.

“Let us begin!” Madara shouted.

It only took less than five minutes and everyone was on the ground beaten down by Madara.

“I didn’t expect you all to be this weak…” Madara sighed.

“It’s been a while.” Dray groaned.

“I’m dying…” Nnoitra said looking at the sky.

“I’m already dead I think.” Hide said as he was dizzy trying to stand back up.

“I guess this means I have to start you all off on lesson one.” Madara said with an unamused tone.

The next day, Mangle was sitting on the back of a Dragon.

The instructor was showing Mangle a fitted makeshift starfighter control panel attached to the Dragon’s back with a few intestines that hooked up under some scales.

The instructor pointed out which one does and right before he went to talk about the red-painted button, Mangle pushed it without listening.

The Dragon’s mouth immediately opened and shot a fireball out which nearly hit two people.

The flight instructor facepalmed.

Nearby, Deidara was trying to ride one but fell from it and landed on the ground aching in pain.

Two months later, an instructor was teaching about literature and Jessica was asleep until the instructor threw a rock into her face knocking her back and waking her up.

A week later, Ken and Hayato were typing on a makeshift console while Hackett was telling everyone which button on it did what, the buttons were just small knob bones but to see where they was on the makeshift console.

Three days later, Qrow held the makeshift bone rifle, and right as he pulled the bone trigger, the entire thing fell apart.

The instructor whacked him on the head making him hold his head and argue with the instructor.

Hayato accidentally hit one that fell apart and Ken quickly tried to put it back together only to hear an elephant roar behind him.

Hackett facepalmed and explained it was the siren that their ship was lost because of them.

Nearby, Dray was getting mad at a console and broke it apart with an elephant roaring into his ear making him flinch and runoff.

A month later, Everyone was doing push-ups.

Dray was dying and finally gave up after only doing ten.

Medusa grabbed his hair and yanked him back up and shouted at him to keep going while standing on his back making him cry out in pain in his muscles ready to pop.

Two months later, Serenity was trying to ride on the back of an Allosaurus but it kept bucking her off and then running off.

Two instructors ran to tame it while Serenity lifted her face off the mud with mud dripping off her face and having a deadpan look in her eyes.

Madara was nearby watching everyone’s progress and just facepalmed.

Two years later, Ken came back from his time of torture and immediately went to train which impressed Madara and he noticed how they were all beginning to get accustomed to the training.

Madara just nodded with a small smile on his face.

Five years later, Mangle was on a Dragon flying over a few huts along with other people on Dragons and were in an attack formation toward makeshift targets.

They pushed buttons that had the Dragons shoot fireballs at the target hitting it precisely.

The instructor smiled and cheered them on from the ground.

Six months later, Qrow was taking down target after target with the bone gun and repeated the same steps on how to make a fast reload.

A year later, Dray was doing push-ups with Medusa, Cosmic, and Qrow standing on his back.

A few people around was cheering him on.

Two years later, Ken was typing on the makeshift console like an expert and even turned his head to answer some questions while he kept on typing.

Hackett walked up to him patting his shoulder before walking off to check on a few other people’s progress.

Six months later, Serenity was able to tame the Allosaurus and patted the side of his neck before it roared loudly making people around have to cover their ears and some to catch other beasts to calm them down.

Akechi walked up clapping to Serenity who jumped down and gave him a hug.

The two embraced for a moment looking at each other’s eyes and before anything else happened, her Allosaurus leaned down growling at Akechi in a protective stance for Serenity.

The two just laughed but Akechi’s laugh became nervous as he saw the teeth of the Allosaurus.

A few weeks later, Jessica was listening to the instructors while taking notes for her friends to learn about.

A year later, Madara used hand-to-hand combat against Akira who within just under a minute, was able to take down Madara with ease.

Madara laying on the ground gave him a nod and a thumbs up.

This training would last for fifty years without Tenebris knowing it was going on, everyone who was getting tortured never said a word and Tenebris didn’t care to watch what people were doing, he was confident that he won.

His biggest mistake.

Chapter 9: A Wish

Fifty Years later…

Serenity was resting beside her Allosaurus and Akechi walked up giving her Allosaurus a pat making it growl happily.

It seems the two got along during the years.

Akechi sat down beside Serenity and Serenity put her head on his shoulder.

The two began dating twelve years ago.

“Ken and Eto are going to see if everything is ready.” Serenity said.

“Good, let’s hope this works.” Akechi said.

Ken and Eto were in the Underworld and waited for Stolas.

Stolas and Javik walked up to them with a few Aether masters walking by.

“We are ready.” Stolas said with a smile.

“Oh thank god.” Eto said with relief.

“I will let Aizen know.” Javik said and carried on past them.

“Remember, keep calm. We cannot have this be messed up.” Stolas said.

“Agreed. What’s the next move?” Ken asked.

“Now we tell everyone that it’s ready and to brace for a change.” Stolas said.

“Life will change.” Eto said with confidance.

Stolas and Ken nodded.

A few hours later, Stolas approached Dray and Cosmic.

“Hey.” Dray said.

“I come to let you two know that we are good to go.” Stolas said.

Cosmic smiled and gave Stolas a hug which surprised him but he returned the hug back.

“Thank you.” Cosmic said.

“Ken and Eto are going to let everyone know but I thought to let you two know myself.” Stolas said.

“So how will it go?” Cosmic asked.

“We will channel our thoughts into the aura and I shall direct it up into the sky and toward that flagship where it will act as a remote signal to ping the orb and make a wish.” Stolas said.

“Sounds risky, won’t he know?” Dray asked.

“Yes, he will, but immediately after we wish.” Stolas said.

“How many wishes?” Dray asked.

“I would suggest we only do seven. Any more and the aura would cease to exist.” Stolas said.

“So seven wishes, that’s not much.” Dray said.

“Seven of us, one wish each.” Stolas said raising his finger up.

“Which means we choose which seven.” Cosmic said.

“I would suggest it be you two, Aizen, Serenity, Ken, and Eto.” Stolas said.

“That leaves one more.” Dray said.

“I will vote for Akira to be the seventh.” Cosmic said.

“I agree.” Dray said.

“I will then channel your wishes into the aura but you must concentrate on the wish in your thoughts while I do it. Do not get distracted. We will need pure privacy.” Stolas said.

“I will see to it that the Underworld is evacuated.” Dray said.

“Once everyone knows we are ready, they will come up here anyway and prepare.” Cosmic said.

“It might take a few weeks to spread the word.” Stolas said.

“Plenty of time for us to think of what to wish on.” Dray said.

“Let’s do this.” Cosmic said.

A few weeks later, Aizen, Serenity, Ken, Eto, Akira, Dray, Cosmic, and Stolas were at the source of the aura.

“Okay, this is it everyone.” Aizen told everyone.

“Seven wishes, we must be careful on what we wish for.” Serenity said.

“Can we wish for Tenebris to die?” Akira asked.

Aizen shook his head.

“He’s the one who created it so I bet he has a way to prevent someone to wish that.” Aizen said.

“Well, this is going to be tough.” Dray said.

They was quiet for a while, thinking of what to wish for.

“I could wish for us to not be sent back to this nightmare land.” Cosmic said.

“Well, that narrows one thing important down.” Aizen said.

“I could wish for everyone to have a weapon they feel comfortable with. I’m sure throughout the training and everyone learning about different weapons that they have a favorite they are skilled at.” Ken said.

“Agreed. So then you will wish for everyone to have a weapon they are comfortable and skilled with.” Aizen said.

“I could wish for everyone to be comfortable with any starship or battleship.” Dray said.

“We will need those especially against the enemy.” Aizen said.

“What about an armor design? I remember some guy talk to me about a unique armor that has nanobytes that customize to any species.” Eto said.

“Which armor is that called?” Aizen asked.

“N-Seven I believe. It’s a well-balanced armor too.” Eto said.

“Excellent, we will go with that for everyone.” Aizen said.

“What about you Aizen?” Ken asked.

“I will make sure everyone who had powers or abilities is returned to them.” Aizen said.

“I could wish that we appear throughout the sky in our ships. Give a surprise attack.” Akira said.

“Not a bad idea.” Aizen said.

“What about you Serenity?” Dray asked.

Serenity was silent with her eyes shut.

Everyone waited and then her eyes opened.

“I have one wish in mind, but it’s going to be very complicated and risky.” Serenity said.

“Tell us.” Ken said.

Serenity beckoned everyone to get close to her and she whispered about what she could wish for.

Everyone’s facial expressions was shocked but they all nodded afterward.

What was said, isn’t known… for now.

A few minutes later…

“Okay, we will spread the word again of what everyone should expect so they don’t freak out.” Aizen told everyone.

“It might take a couple of weeks.” Eto said.

“I’m a little nervous.” Stolas said.

“We all are, this is a make or break moment.” Aizen said.

They walked out of the underworld and headed off in different directions to talk to people.

“Psst.” Shinobu said to Dray who noticed her.

Shinobu was crouched behind some large rocks.

Dray looked over to Cosmic who nodded to him and he walked over to her and knelt down.

“What’s up?” Dray asked.

Shinobu had a sad expression.

“What’s wrong?” Dray asked putting an arm around her.

“So the time has come. We are going to kill Tenebris?” Shinobu asked.

“There is no need to be scared, we will win.” Dray said.

“You don’t know the power he’s truly capable of. What you see isn’t everything.” Shinobu said.

Dray tilted his head.

“You know how I came into you and everyone’s lives out of nowhere? And that none of you could find my parents?” Shinobu asked.

Dray nodded curiously.

“Did he harm them?” Dray asked.

“H-he is my father.” Shinobu said and began to cry.

Dray’s expression wasn’t shocked or upset, it was kind.

Dray put both arms around her and hugged her to her surprise.

“He may be your father, but he ain’t your daddy.” Dray told her.

Shinobu cried even more, except now it was tears of joy.

She hugged him tightly and he patted her back.

“I’m sorry I never told you all, I was just scared that you all would have hurt me for being his-” Shinobu began to say.

“Hey, none of us are mad at you. You did nothing wrong.” Dray said.

“He kept me in a cage for amusement after he raped the woman who made me.” Shinobu said.

“You aren’t caged anymore.” Dray said.

“We are all in a cage.” Shinobu said.

Dray gently patted her cheek.

“Life will change.” Dray promised.

Shinobu nodded and hugged him tighter.

“Will you tell everyone?” Shinobu asked.

“No, and besides it doesn’t really matter. You are one of us, all of us accept you.” Dray said.

Shinobu smiled and gave him a tighter hug.

“When you break the curse on all of us, I will finally age.” Shinobu said.

“So you won’t be in a cute form huh?” Dray asked with a chuckle.

“I think one last piggyback ride is due.” Shinobu said.

Dray sighed with a smile kneeling down and she got onto his back before sitting on his shoulders.

The two headed back to the group.

“Thank you… daddy.” Shinobu said to Dray who just smiled brightly after hearing that.

Akechi walked around the corner of a large rock having listened to the whole thing.

Akechi’s expression was of concern.

Two days later, Serenity was talking to Octavia and Leslie about what to expect.

“So this will be the war of all wars? The last one?” Leslie asked.

“The last one. We start after the next one hundred thousand come from torture and we immediately make the wishes.” Serenity said.

“What are you going to wish for?” Octavia asked.

“I can’t say.” Serenity said.

“Oh come on, tell us!” Leslie said.

Before Serenity could reply, Akechi walked over.

“Hey Serenity, you got a second?” Akechi asked.

“Um, sure!” Serenity said.

Octavia and Leslie grinned at Akechi before walking off.

“What’s up?” Serenity asked.

Akechi beckoned her to talk around behind a hut.

“I need to tell you something important, and believe me I had to build up a lot of courage to ask this.” Akechi said.

Serenity had a slight blush appearing on her face.

“What would that be?” Serenity asked nervously.

Akechi got on one knee in front of her which really made her blush.

“W-what are you-” Serenity began to ask.

“When we win this war, may I please take you out for coffee?” Akechi asked.

Serenity didn’t know what to say and just shivered a bit, she then stopped breathing.

Akechi looked at her with an amused grin.

“This isn’t funny!” Serenity shouted.

“It’s cute.” Akechi said with a chuckle.

“Cute!? We are going to war and you’re putting this on me!” Serenity said.

“A wise person once told me, I should live with no regrets.” Akechi said.

“Aizen’s wise?” Serenity asked.

The two chuckled for a moment.

Serenity huffed and crossed her arms pacing around nervously before quickly turning around to look at him.

Akechi just kept grinning at her which turned into a genuine smile.

Serenity put her arms around him and the two embraced.

“I’d love a coffee after this.” Serenity said.

Akechi smiled brightly and the two held one another close.

Nearby, Octavia and Starrk were watching.

“About time.” Starrk said.

“Tell me about it, over a hundred years and those two finally connect.” Octavia said.

“Well, I’m going back to sleep.” Starrk said.

“Lazy ass.” Octavia said.

“Damn right.” Starrk said.

“I guess tomorrow is the day.” Starrk said as he laid down.

Octavia looked worried.

“I should talk to my father before the time comes.” Octavia said walking off.

Starrk thought on her words and sat up.

“I better talk to the guys, make sure they are okay.” Starrk said and walked off.

Karura was checking on Gin and Javik while Nishio walked up from behind her and gave her a comforting hug.

“You okay?” Karura asked.

“I just want to hold you for a bit.” Nishio said.

Karura smiled and leaned back on him.

“I should be checking on those two over there, looks like they’re arguing.” Karura said.

“Stop smiling like that, primitive.” Javik said to Gin.

“Make me.” Gin said.

“I wish I could break that jaw of yours.” Javik growled.

“I think they’re fine.” Nishio said.

“I suppose.” Karura said leaning her hand back scratching his head.

“Mmm.” Nishio hummed.

The next day, every single person and beast were ready.

Down in the Underworld, Aizen, Serenity, Ken, Eto, Akira, Dray, Cosmic, and Stolas were standing within the aura and Stolas put his hands together and looked up at the cavern ceiling.

“How this works is all of you think on what you want to wish for, and I will send the power toward the orb. I will count down from thirty seconds in my mind before I transmit the wish. So please concentrate.” Stolas said.

“Seven of us, seven wishes.” Aizen said.

“Yes.” Stolas said.

“Wished we had more.” Eto said.

“To be fair it was seven to eight but seven is the safest bet we have.” Stolas said.

“Very well.” Eto said.

“Everyone ready?” Stolas asked.

Everyone nodded.

“Okay everyone, deep breath and slowly out.” Stolas said.

Everyone took a moment to collect their thoughts and breath in slowly.

“Ready.” Everyone said at the same time.

Stolas nodded and began.

Everyone thought about what they were going to wish for and after the thirty seconds was up, Stolas channeled the aura around their heads to swirl together into a glowing ball of pure aether, he then shot it through the ceiling and into the sky where it would zoom faster than the speed of sound. It would go through the metal like a ghostly apparition and right toward the orb which was in the middle of Tenebris’ forehead.

Tenebris was asleep in his throne chair and once the power hit his forehead, his eyes opened wide realizing what was going on but it was too late, everything was engulfed in a white flash of light.

Chapter 10: Hope You’re Ready For A Revolution!

Serenity opened her eyes after the white flash ended to see she was on the bridge of the Normandy.

“Oh my god, it worked.” Serenity said to herself.

She looked around seeing some of her friends around.

Serenity blinked and lifted her left hand up seeing a makeshift gauntlet that had the former stones that she and her family encountered in the past, the powerful infinity stones.

“I see Ken remembered what you said to him.” Umbreon said noting what she had on.

“I suppose so.” Serenity said checking her belt.

Her belt had a lightsaber equipped. The dual-phase weapon featured a solid casing, ridged handgrip, forward-mounted adjustment knobs, and a beveled emitter shroud as well as a throttle-style activator. Along with the blue color crystal, it also utilized a high output diatium power cell and a dual-phase focusing crystal.

Joker walked by her looking at the cockpit with a grin on his face.

“Hey, I remember this ship!” Joker said.

“You flew it to help Ken right?” Serenity asked.

“Hell yeah.” Joker said.

“Everyone, battle stations now!” Dray called out.

“Immediate attack!” Serenity called out.

Joker and Serenity ran to the cockpit and Serenity patched into the intercom.

Serenity looked out the cockpit window in awe.

“Can anyone hear me?” Serenity asked.

“Loud and clear.” Decorus said.

The sky was dark grey, with snowflakes not falling but rising. There was umbral static forking continuously throughout the sky. Lastly, there were wil-o-wisp’s appearing and disappearing at random throughout the sky. It was a strange sight to behold.

Around them was different ships from different eras from different galaxies, and they were all spread around the large triangular ships.

“We are calling the big ships, Assertor-class Dreadnoughts while we are calling their single fighters, TIE Hunters.” Decorus said as he was looking at the readings through the terminal with a few ensigns.

“No time to waste, let’s do this!” Atton said on the other line.

Atton was in the cockpit of the Ebon Hawk and with him was Ken and Eto.

“Ready when you guys are.” Ken said.

“Let’s have a little fun.” Eto said with a grin.

“Hell yeah.” Atton said.

The Ebon Hawk flew over beside the Normandy and suddenly the Condor flew on the other side of the Normandy.

“Don’t forget us!” Stork said.

“I missed this old girl!” Aizen said.

Akira looked around the Condor and was pulled down to sit and buckle up.

“This is going to get bumpy.” Stork told him.

Akira cocked an eyebrow.

“How bumpy?” Akira asked.

“Patch me to all ships, please.” Serenity said.

The screen went full neon color.

“Woah, so that’s what it looks like to talk to the entire universe.” Joker said.

“Everyone, this is our fight, this is our lives, this is our destiny!” Serenity shouted.

Everyone cheered out.

“Okay! Let’s roll!” Aizen/Serenity/Ken/Eto/ and Akira all shouted.

The entire sky was painted in different laser fire, cannonball fire, missile fire, bullet fire, and other types of ammo rounds being launched at the Assertors and TIE Hunters.

The dormant ships were being hit badly and taking damage.

Meanwhile, Tenebris walked to a curtain and ripped it open revealing the observation window in his throne room.

He looked around in shock at what was going on and his breathing quickened.

“I wish for them all to return.” Tenebris said.

The orb did nothing.

“I wish for them all to return to the nightmare land!” Tenebris roared.

The orb did nothing.

Tenebris roared out in anger and rose his hands up creating dark magic to appear.

“Launch all fighters, all ships, fire!” Tenebris yelled.

The two hundred laser batteries on the top and one hundred laser batteries on the bottom of each assertor began to open fire at all ships while the TIE Hunters began to move and swarm different flying machines.

All of the enemy ships was being operated just by Tenebris’ mental power through the orb.

His flagship’s endless wave of cannons activated and begin to move to aim at the incoming starfighters and ships.

Tenebris suddenly realized that some of the ships didn’t have a lock-on and saw different jammer ships scattered around.

“Damn it!” Tenebris shouted.

He had to mentally control the cannons to just aim and shoot blindly at this point.

“Everyone, watch out for spread fire!” Decorus said on the intercom.

“Careful, the enemy ships below the flagship will for sure be coming up!” Ringo said on the intercom.

One ship nearby the Normandy was blown up by incoming enemy laser fire while two small helicopters flew by firing rockets at a TIE zooming away.

Two missiles fly over them and hit one of the Assertor’s hulls damaging it.

Some debris from the Assertor fall past them and down onto the flagship destroying a few cannons.

The Assertors that orbited below the flagship began to organize and spread to launch upward.

“This is intense.” Joker said.

“Atton, Stork, with us! We are heading toward Tenebris’ command bridge! Decorus, scan the ship and send us coordinates to where the command bridge might be!” Serenity said.

“On it.” Decorus said.

The Ebon Hawk and Condor flew on each side of the Normandy and all three ships zoom forward, flying low over the flagship hull and shooting down turrets as they flew by.

Nearby, two F-22’s flew by with an Alliance starfighter between them and all three began to shoot down incoming TIE’s to clear a path for them but were destroyed by enemy cannon fire.

“Everyone, leave this to us, take down those TIE’s and Assertors.” Serenity said.

Two Assertors dropped from orbit and crashed on the flagship in the distance in front of them and they flew through the flames and kept on their approach.

“Keep it up!” Serenity shouted.

Both sides were losing ships and starfighters, the battle was raging on with debris falling on the flagship.

Tenebris frowned and held his hand out.

“Enough of this bullshit.” Tenebris said.

He rose his hand up and all of his ships including his flagship began to ascend into the umbral lightning.

“Guys-” Decorus began to say.

“We see, have our ships try to keep up and to prepare to evade lightning strikes.” Serenity said.

“It will disable our shields.” Decorus said.

“Same for the Assertors, this is our only chance, keep fighting.” Serenity said.

“Got it.” Decorus said.

Two Endurance-class star destroyers and five Cerberus cruisers line up and begin a broadside on each side of an Assertor tearing it down with a group of mixed starfighters from different galaxies zooming by and chasing after a TIE squadron.

One starfighter got hit once and a Dragon flew in firing a fireball into the TIE that shot him and a sage on an airship quickly sent a magical spell to stop the flames that was burning on the starfighter.

Two airships flew over an Assertor dropping bombs with two wizards inside sending out fire spells at TIE’s coming at them.

A dwarf engineer ran over to a broken cannon and quickly fixed it while a Mi-24 helicopter flew by and gave them cover fire with its machine gun roasting up an incoming TIE.

As the Normandy, Condor, and Ebon Hawk were flying over the flagship, Decorus’ sent them schematics of where the command deck was.

“Time to high-tail it to this location.” Atton said on the intercom.

“Don’t forget us.” Decorus said.

“We are coming as well, yeah.” Ringo said.

Decorus’ flagship, a Nebula-class star destroyer, flew quickly over them with its engines on full blast to keep up.

Two small airships flew by sending a barrage of flaming arrows with a boost of explosives mixed with them that blew up a TIE and it flew by one of the Assertors cannons destroying it in the process.

An Aparoid Moth shot a beam out of his abdomen and through the command deck of one of the Assertors and then flew off to hit another.

An Alexandrian Dreadnought loomed over with Cyclonian ships spread around it in a rainbow maneuver and they all began to bombard Assertors and TIE’s in their path.

A mix of smaller ships joined them to give extra firepower.

On the flagship, smaller cannons took aim and spread fire toward the Normandy, Condor, and Ebon Hawk.

The Nebula soaked up some of the blaster fire with it’s shields.

“We need cover from the incoming turrets.” Decorus said.

Sixteen corvettes of alien design fly in front of them and create a shield-like projection in front of them to absorb incoming fire while small transport ships flew in between firing out regular cannon fire to take down turrets.

A few other starfighters and planes fly in to help them but some got shot down while one corvette was blown away by TIE’s that were swarming.

“They know what were doing! Keep going!” Serenity said.

A Gran on an airship beckoned toward them and pointed forward to show them the command bridge was on the horizon.

“There it is- oh my god.” Stork said.

There was an arrangement of cannons aimed toward them from the command bridge and all of them began to open fire.

“Incoming!” Decorus shouted.

The airship the Gran was one was destroyed immediately while a few corvettes’ shields were disabled and were shot down.

“Keep going!” Aizen shouted.

A few laser blasts hit the Condor and Ebon Hawk.

“Our shields are gone!” Atton said.

“I got a stupid idea, but it might just work.” Decorus said.

Decorus’ flagship slowed down a bit and flew under their ships.

“Queen are you there?” Decorus asked.

“Yes.” The Aparoid Queen said flying in behind him.

“Attach to my hull and create a hexagon shield around my ship please.” Decorus said.

“You’re going to need extra help with that one.” King Black Dragon said and flew in to help.

The Aparoid Queen attached to the hull while the King Black Dragon flew into the main hanger of Decorus’ flagship where soldiers and technicians were gathering.

The King Black Dragon created a flame barrier at the hanger entrance while the Aparoid Queen prepared for a hexagon shield which started to grow from under the vessel up to the top.

“I think I know what you’re thinking of doing.” Serenity said.

“I just got my baby back!” Stork said.

“Stork-” Aizen began to say.

“I just hope it’s quick.” Stork said patting his wheel.

Everyone pushed buttons on the cockpit to direct the ships on auto-pilot to aim at the command deck.

“Head out now.” Atton said.

Everyone on each ship headed to their cargo holds and opened the latches to the outside.

“Jump on!” The Aparoid Queen said to them telepathically.

Everyone leaped out and landed on the Aparoid Queen’s body.

“Okay close it up!” Serenity said.

The hexagon shield closed up from the top and the entire Nebula was covered in a hexagon bubble.

The Aparoid Queen created an ooze to stick everyone onto her.

“Hang on!” Decorus called out.

Decorus watched a monitor from the hanger and everyone hooked onto something and held on tightly with the King Black Dragon pushing his body against them.

Tenebris in his command deck watched as the last corvette was shot down.

“A suicide attack? You think that’s going to stop me?” Tenebris said while watching the remaining four ships head his way.

Tenebris then noticed the Nebula covered in a hexagon shield and then realized what was going on.

Tenebris rose his hand up and before he could do anything, the Normandy, Condor, and Ebon Hawk blasted into the command bridge, and right after the Nebula crashed right through with ease and wiped out the entire command bridge into small chunks of debris.

The hexagon shield faded away and everyone was safe.

Decorus’ flagship was sparking as its systems were shaken up and shut down automatically.

Atton, Stork, and Joker looked at the remaining debris of their ships and their heads lowered down in respect.

“Where is that son of a bitch.” James said looking around for Tenebris.

“Let’s get off here first.” Aizen said.

Everyone carefully got down from the Nebula’s hull while everyone in the hanger climbed down to meet up with them.

“Where is he?” Decorus asked.

“I have no idea, we wiped this bridge clean off.” Dray said.

Suddenly the Nebula exploded knocking everyone away.

Chunks of it was flying everywhere into the sky and knocking into a few vessels destroying them.

Tenebris rose from where the Nebula crashed.

His body was steaming with heat and some flames were escaping from his skull-like head.

“You bacteria are starting to annoy me.” Tenebris said.

Everyone stood together and was ready to face the devil himself.

Chapter 11: Revelations

Everyone including many different soldiers got ready.

Tenebris just stood there unamused that he was being circled by nearly a thousand soldiers.

“Attack immediately.” Serenity said.

All of the soldiers ran forward shouting at Tenebris.

Tenebris didn’t move and stood there awaiting their attack.

One soldier made it close enough with his electro staff ready to swing at Tenebris until Tenebris caught his entire face in his large palm and crushed it before throwing his corpse into another person and kicking his large clawed foot through the corpse and into the man and blasting them away.

Five soldiers aimed their guns while Tenebris hearing their rounds being shot within an instant flashed stepped to the left surprising everyone of his agility.

He grabbed one man’s head butting him breaking his skull in before using him as a shield for incoming bullets and then throwing him on the two which caused their guns to aim at one another by accident and the triggers both pulled and shot into one another’s heads.

One man threw a grenade while another threw a sticky bomb.

Tenebris caught the grenade throwing it back and ripping the sticky bomb off his bare skin and throwing it up into the air where three soldiers were leaping up to attack his head only to be blown up and the grenade blowing up killing six soldiers.

Tenebris backflipped and crushed his large feet into two soldiers and sprung his tail out which lashed into one mans stomach out of his back and threw his corpse onto a man who immediately shot a grenade from his launcher and the impact killed him and two other soldiers beside him.

Soldiers kept trying to land a hit on him but all failed and after a manner of ten minutes, there were no soldiers left.

Aizen was speechless.

Ken and Eto’s mouths were dropped.

Serenity stood there blinking every second.

Akira’s feet was wobbling.

“For… For real?” Akira said.

Everyone else joined up with them after the chaos ended.

Akechi kept in the back and slowly began to walk backward away from the group.

Tenebris looked at the remainder and only patted some dust off his shoulder in front of them and to also be an asshole.

“So, when is the real fighting going to start?” Tenebris asked.

“Did you see a weakness while he was fighting?” Gin asked Aizen.

Aizen shook his head.

“He was too fast.” Aizen said.

“Such a massive being and yet he was too fast?” Gin questioned.

“Fuck.” Jessica growled.

Tenebris’ gaze suddenly moved to look directly at Shinobu.

Shinobu gasped and hid behind Dray.

Dray glared at Tenebris.

“Do you know what she is?” Tenebris asked.

“I know she ain’t you.” Dray said.

“What’s going on?” Aizen asked.

“She’s my blood.” Tenebris said.

“He raped my mo-” Shinobu began to softly say.

“She like everyone in life is mine to do with!” Tenebris said.

Tenebris held out his clawed hand.

“Come here.” Tenebris growled.

Tenebris created a force pull but suddenly Dray, and everyone close held her back and he stopped the use of his power.

“You still want it?” Tenebris asked.

“It isn’t an it, it’s a she.” James said.

“And she isn’t yours anymore.” Cosmic said.

“We don’t care if she’s your blood, she did nothing wrong.” Sasori said.

Everyone took a stance while giving Tenebris a hateful look.

Shinobu gasped looking at everyone standing up for her.

Suddenly her body flashed and Tenebris shouted in anger.

“Damn you all! Her curse is broken now!” Tenebris shouted.

Shinobu was now an adult age, and in the armor that they wished for.

Everyone was shocked.

“With acceptance, his curse on me, his chains on me, is gone.” Shinobu said to Dray and gave him a hug.

“Dad.” Shinobu said.

Dray smiled and patted her back.

“Oh how fucking revolting!” Tenebris said.

“Fuck you.” Akira said.

“About time you swore.” James said.

“I’m proud of you, Akira!” Karura shouted.

Tenebris held his hands outward and struck everyone left with his lightning prison ability.

Lightning wrapped around everyone but Serenity already established a hidden aura from her sage ability that would begin to branch out to everyone and give them some boost in powers and abilities, but Tenebris didn’t pay attention to her, instead, his attention was on Akira.

“We meet again.” Tenebris said looking down at him.

Akira just glared at him.

“So this is your plan?” Tenebris asked.

Akira cocked an eyebrow.

“I’m not the leader if you think I am.” Akira said.

Tenebris was silent for a moment.

“You don’t know, do you?” Tenebris said.

“Know what?” Akira asked.

Everyone started to get confused.

Tenebris gave out a deep chuckle.

“You don’t even know!” Tenebris said.

“What the fuck are you going on about?” James asked.

“Akira…?” Makoto asked.

“I don’t know what he’s talking about.” Akira said.

Akira looked at Tenebris.

“We only met like, three times. When I was alive, when you tortured us, and now. I don’t know who you think I am but I’m me.” Akira said.

“Think hard…” Tenebris said forebodingly.

Akira pondered for a moment until remembering, the green-haired man.

“Him…” Akira said.

“Him who?” Aizen asked.

“A man who looks like me, a man with green hair and round glasses. I saw him once… he said that I was him in a past life or something. Telling me how we was split.” Akira said.

“A green-haired man…” Aizen questioned.

“I met a man like that once, he was fishing on Naboo.” Serenity said.

“I met a man of that description as well. He also was fishing.” Aizen said.

“So did I.” Eto said.

“Same… now that you mention it.” Ken said.

Everyone was confused and looked at Tenebris curiously.

“Who is he?” Aizen asked.

“The man you call the ‘green-haired man’ is this man right here who you call Akira. But in the beginning, he was only known as the Holy Spirit.” Tenebris said.

Everyone was still confused.

“He is the creator- let me put it this way, he’s whom you would call, ‘god’.” Tenebris said.

Everyone’s eyes opened wide and even Akira’s did.

“Holy shit, talk about a dramatic climax.” Mangle said.

Everyone was still silent and trying to figure all of this out.

“When I say dramatic climax I meant how this is surprising, not sexual.” Mangle said.

“We know, we know.” Octavia said.

“You still need answers, really?” Tenebris said.

“If you’d be so kind.” Aizen said.

“I suppose before your deaths I can give you the brief story… it was over twenty thousand years ago.” Tenebris said.

-Twenty-three thousand years ago…-

Akira who was once God was sitting in a green pasture overlooking the sheep.

Behind him was the golden kingdom with soft clouds circling the top.

An angel approached him.

“You asked for me?” The angel asked.

“I did, I have decided to create sentient beings. One such race will look like us, I shall name them, humans.” Akira said.

“Other sentient beings? Is that wise?” The angel asked.

“Why not? Doesn’t other life deserve a chance to live amongst us?” Akira said.

The angel just gave one nod and walked off.

A few years later, Akira watched a small village of humans from a distance with a smile on his face.

The same angel from before approached.

“You asked for me?” The angel asked.

“I’d like you to give instructions to our archangels to be guardians and helpers to the human race and the other races I am currently creating.” Akira said.

“Help the humans? Why should we serve them?” The angel asked.

“Because it’s the right thing to do for what I create. Don’t we help one another?” Akira said.

“But they are humans, they aren’t angelic like us, they aren’t pure.” The angel said.

“Relay the instructions please.” Akira said.

The angel just gave a nod and walked off, but he was envious, jealous, and his pride felt cornered.

“If he can create, why can’t I have the power to create, I want more… I deserve more for my obedience.” The angel said to himself while glaring at Akira from a distance.

A few years later, Akira was walking through a garden in the clouds, and the angel from before approached him, but with anger in his heart.

“A human lost his legs, why can’t you give him new ones, why do I have to help him?” The angel asked.

“Because one must have faith and live a life of life without the need for my healing. He has you and he is happy to have you, once he passes and joins us in the afterlife, he will be given not just legs, but rewards, a crown, and love.” Akira said.

“I have had enough of this.” The angel growled.

“I sense anger in you.” Akira said.

“I have a right to be, I am your number one angel, I am the strongest, the most handsome, and the most powerful. I deserve respect from these humans, from these creatures that you made. We could make them serve us! Why don’t we have them serve us! Why do we have to serve them!” The angel shouted.

“Because we should treat one another equally.” Akira said.

“We are powerful, they have no gifts as we have. Why do I have to bow before a minority!” The angel shouted.

“You’re becoming what you swore to never become.” Akira said.

“Well then, what I want to become is the new God, a God that doesn’t bow down to the weak! I will bow to no one! They will bow to me!” The angel shouted.

The angel swung his blade at Akira and the two made a brief fight until the angel tricked him and sent a strange power that split his spirit in half and suddenly the entire afterlife shook and shattered, ending the angelic race.

But in the aftermath, the angel who betrayed Akira was alive, and in his new body… he was then, Tenebris.

Akira’s spirit split, his spirit side one way, his mortal side the other way into the future.

Akira in his spirit form wasn’t noticed by Tenebris and he just shook his head seeing the damage done and unable to do anything but walk away, picking up a fishing rod and bucket.

“I guess I will have to be the fisher of man.” Akira said.

Then throughout time, Akira watched many things take place throughout history, including our main characters and their growth.

Only then when Akira’s mortal form was born, he would know the end was coming, and there was one chance, one final gamble to stop evil… and that is by those he saw in his life that had the potential to possibly defeat Tenebris.

Throughout his lifetime, Tenebris created the orb to help him become a ‘god’ and waited for centuries to gather enough energy into the orb to fulfill his devilish quest.

-Back to the present-

Everyone listened to what Tenebris said and Akira was trying to say something but just kept choking on his words.

“I split so that my other self can see the life of a mortal.” A voice said from within Akira.

Akira didn’t seem to flinch, it seems he was communicating with his other self while his other self spoke.

“Now do you see how pathetic they are?” Tenebris said.

“I see how they are flawed, but it’s a beautiful thing. They love, they cry, they laugh, they struggle, but yet they find a way when the going gets tough. Look what they did to you and your overconfidence. They found a way to break free. Life will always find a way. You was so confident you won that you didn’t pay attention to what they was doing under your nose. Just like how you aren’t paying attention to… her.” The voice said.

Tenebris was confused until he was surprised to see his lightning cages disappear and a blast of energy hitting Tenebris’ head knocking him back a few feet.

Serenity lowered her hand with a sneer.

“While you was monologuing the past, I was using my sage ability to channel into everyone’s chakra, giving them a boost in adrenaline and enough to break out of your ridiculous lightning cage ability.” Serenity said.

Tenebris roared and rose his arms up.

“Careful everyone!” Akira said.

“This is where I join you.” The voice said.

Akira’s body flashed a moment and he inhaled.

“You feeling good kid?” Aizen asked.

“Yeah, and I’m ready to kick ass!” Akira said.

“Great, don’t get cocky!” Jessica shouted.

“I’m ready to fight too.” Shinobu said.

Tenebris held his hands out toward all of them charging up a red current of sorts between his fingers.

“Even if you won, where would you go? This is the only life left. What would you achieve?” Tenebris said.

“Killing you.” Ken said.

Tenebris just grinned.

“You-” Tenebris began to say.

“Will never see it coming!” Dray shouted.

Five Naboo Starfighters flew down and shot down laser fire at Tenebris from above.

Tenebris stood there as the laser fire did nothing but zap his skin and he just kept grinning at everyone.

“Show off.” James growled.

“You think you can defeat me, me? A god?” Tenebris chuckled.

Madara ran forward with Kariya and Sawatari and all three began to attack him at close combat.

“You have to get him now!” Madara shouted to the others.

The Momochi clan summon their wolves into battle while Serenity summoned her Allosaurus to attack with them.

Tenebris managed to break away from the three men only to be trampled down by the Allosaurus and bitten by the wolves.

Tenebris yelled and shot out a powerful repulse that knocked everyone a mile away.

“Don’t stop!” Akechi called out.

Akechi’s voice was sharp and had a hint of sadistic tone in it.

Tenebris turned his head seeing Akechi and before he could stop him his face was smashed with Akechi’s energy rapier blade but it didn’t slice through.

Akechi kept pushing his blade against Tenebris’ face.

“Son…” Tenebris growled.

“Son!?” Everyone shouted in shock.

“What are you idiots doing!? Attack him!” Akechi shouted.

James shot at Tenebris while Mangle threw a grenade.

Akechi quickly caught the grenade and shook it before shoving it into Tenebris’ gaping mouth and leaping away from him letting it explode.

The explosive did nothing to Tenebris.

“You people are amusing to think you can kill me, let alone lay a scratch on me!” Tenebris chuckled.

Tenebris looked over at Akechi.

“I never thought I’d see you here.” Tenebris growled.

“Surprised?” Akechi said.

“What’s it like being a failed prodigy? You could have been the perfect weapon, but instead, you let your mother’s death blind you. She was just a human!” Tenebris shouted.

“She was my mother!” Akechi shouted back.

“I knew something was up with you the moment we met. I kept a close eye on you ever since.” Aizen said.

“Forgive me for keeping secrets but I have been looking for this creature for my entire past life until he killed me when I was twenty, right after he killed my… mother.” Akechi said with a hiss at the end.

“Why didn’t you tell us!? Umbreon asked.

“I didn’t know how you would react. But after seeing how you reacted to Shinobu, I guess I no longer need to be spying and listening on all of you, to come to my own conclusion on how to kill him.” Akechi said.

“I’m a god, you foolish boy. I cannot die. I cannot be contained. I have the patience of stone and the will of a star.” Tenebris said.

“You’re wrong because if you truly was an actual god, you would have the power to kill us right now without your stupid orb. You need that thing, you need it because without it you are nothing.” Akechi said.

Tenebris didn’t say anything.

“So that’s it…” Aizen said softly.

“From what people say, that orb is what fueled you all along. So it isn’t your body we have to just destroy, but that blasted thing.” Akechi said.

Akechi aimed his energy rapier at Tenebris while circling over to stand beside Serenity.

“You could have told me…” Serenity said.

“I wanted to, but how would you feel at that time to know I was the son of this demon.” Akechi said.

“Probably at the time I would have been surprised but, you aren’t him. You aren’t him.” Serenity said putting a hand on his shoulder.

“I have one thing of his… the bloodlust to kill, but who I want to kill, is him. Oh how long I been holding my bloodlust.” Akechi said.

Akechi gripped his own face and began to laugh maniacally.

“I held it in for so long, oh for so long!” Akechi laughed.

Serenity gently touched the back of his neck and his eyes cornered to look at her.

“Don’t let it take over your mind, but I’m sure we all have the lust to kill him.” Serenity said.

Akira took a few steps over.

“And we will do it together.” Akira said.

Akechi took a deep breath.

“Very well.” Akechi said.

Tenebris had a wide grin on his face.

“This is so fucking pathetic! It makes me want to throw up, but at the same time, it makes me want to-” Tenebris began to say.

Tenebris rose his hand out and fired a powerful blast of dark energy at Akechi and it hit him straight in the chest knocking him a few miles away.

“Kill you.” Tenebris finished.

Everyone was shocked.

“No!” Serenity shouted.

Everyone quickly turned around and went to attack Tenebris.

Tenebris crouched for a moment before raising his arms up bashing Marik and Bakura away and his tail twirling behind him and forward with enough velocity to smash into The Illusive Man, Nnoitra, and Sazuki to knock them away.

All of their bones were crushed by his heavy tail.

“Serenity, check on Akechi!” Dray said.

Serenity nodded and headed that way while Dray headed to help fight Tenebris.

Zommari and Gohah tried to attack Tenebris from behind but his tail came up and pierced through both of their bodies and threw their dead bodies off to the side and while his tail kept its swing it knocked Nishio over into Iris to knock them both down.

Before Tenebris could attack them, Dray swung his blade and pierced it at Tenebris’ skin, but it was doing nothing making Tenebris chuckle.

Suddenly a slight ticking noise was heard and a peel of Tenebris’ skin flaked off making him surprised.

Dray just smirked.

“Well, seem’s ‘god’ is struggling?” Dray said cheekily.

Tenebris tried to grab Dray but was caught off guard by several others to which Tenebris had to contend with.

Serenity ran up to Akechi who was struggling to get up with a burn mark on his chest.

“Akechi.” Serenity said.

Suddenly, Madara flew by them and his body was crushed into pieces.

“H-help them.” Akechi said weakly.

“I am helping.” Serenity said.

Luke and Gregar leaped at Tenebris from each side only to be surprised by the mouths on Tenebris’ shoulders spitting out a lava beam which immediately turned them to smoldering ash.

“My god…” Serenity said as she was seeing their friends being wiped out one by one.

“That orb, we have to target the orb.” Akechi said.

“Aizen, the orb!” Serenity called out.

“Everyone hit that orb with everything you got!” Aizen called out.

Koraru, Gold Saw, and Vitani tried to jump onto Tenebris’ large body and went to grab his orb only for their bodies to catch on fire and burn into ash.

“His body! Careful of his body!” Aizen shouted.

Atton shot at Tenebris’ forehead but the orb seemed to be unaffected by it.

“He might have a shield or something!” Atton called out.

Atton was force pulled toward Tenebris who punched Atton’s head breaking his neck and throwing him down harshly on Seviper before crushing her skull in with his foot.

L’aera and Casarai headed toward Tenebris from the left while concentrating on his body.

“I don’t see any shield unit!” Casarai called out.

Tenebris held his hand out and blasted a wave of lava at them.

Casarai sent a force push toward it but it did no good and hit her and L’aera melting them away.

Free front flipped and stood on top of Tenebris’ shoulders and went to punch at the orb.

“It’s not a shield unit, it’s a magic barrier!” Free called out.

Tenebris roared and grabbed both of Free’s legs twisting them both off his body and kicking his body away.

Larxene threw a lightning dagger at Tenebris who just knocked it away and shot out a powerful sonic wave from his mouth which ignited into an inferno that hit her, Sawarineko, and Zelina through its path.

“Careful he-” Cain began to say until he was grabbed from behind and his skull crushed in.

Desolate punched the ground and ice sickles shot out from the hull and at Tenebris who quickly smashed them out of his way.

“Aizen- oh my god…” Ken said and looked up.

Aizen looked up and saw one of the Assertors and five spaceships’ engines break apart.

Tenebris held his left hand up toward them and used his power to bring them down.

“Ahahahaha!” Tenebris laughed out.

“Incoming!” Aizen called out.

Spaceship debris fell everywhere, smashing down around everyone and on everyone.

After a minute, Serenity opened her eyes and looked around dizzily.

“What…” Serenity began to say but fell back.

Dray crawled over to her helping her sit up.

“What happened?” Serenity asked.

“The bastard brought ships down on us.” Dray said.

Dray helped Serenity up and the two looked around.

“Where is he?” Serenity asked.

“We need to see who is alive and who isn’t.” Dray said.

Those that had died from Tenebris’ starship meteorites was; Anderson, Mitsuko, Raven, Yoshi, Noi, Vern, Le’roach, Monica, Escorpia, Yuno, Absol, Snoop, Seroroon, Xayah, Ho, Ban, Vexen, Charlie, Kai-Leng, Cyan, Valentino, Top Hat Man, Jarael, Tali, Grenn, Xaldin, Brandon, Marie, Eric, Alexander, Roald, Daniel, Zexion, Primarina, Delphox, Lamar, Roxas, Beverly, Mienshao, Ironmouse, Marie, Ignis, Demencia, Maya, Marshall, Hatenko, Sion, Riruka, Kaiden, Python, Anaconda, Jairiubix, Fuen, The Doctor, Lopunny, Ymir, Fudo, Chan, En, Mallet, Durocidia, Saix, Ugaki, and The Plague Doctor.

Dray and Serenity climbed over some debris and found Akechi who was helping up Cosmic.

“Where is Tenebris?” Dray asked.

“I am hearing fighting over that way.” Akechi said pointing north.

“We need to hurry.” Dray said.

The four headed that way together.

Serenity looked at Akechi who glanced at her.

“Are you mad at me?” Akechi asked.

“I wished you told me sooner but, I understand how you felt. You and Shinobu both. But we don’t see you as the son of Tenebris, we see you two as yourselves.” Serenity said.

“Thank you.” Akechi said.

They walked over Arachne’s body and saw Scourge crawling toward them.

“He’s too strong…” Scourge said.

Scourge gasped for air before dying in front of them.

The group ran around the corner of the debris to find Tenebris.

Chapter 13: Unlimited Power!

Serenity ran around the debris to find Aizen swinging his blade against Tenebris’ arm who was easily blocking his attacks.

Serenity held her left hand out and with the power stone on her gauntlet, she sent a powerful energy beam at Tenebris that knocked him off his feet and his large body flung into the hull.

“Thanks.” Aizen said.

Tenebris roared and stomped on the hull creating an earthquake power that erupted the metal out, the metal turning into sharp points at everyone in its path.

Axel and Eruka were sliced up by the path of the metal while Hans leaped over it and jumped on Tenebris’ face trying to stab his knives into his skull, but it was only breaking his knives.

Tenebris grabbed Han’s throat and crushed it before dropping him and quickly ducking from Malak’s lightsaber swing and headbutted him hard enough to crack his skull in.

A space vortex opened from the space stone and jumping out was Grell with his chainsaw slicing at Tenebris’ neck, which did nothing but Tenebris began to feel a heat emanating from the chainsaw blade.

Tenebris forced the chainsaw out of his hands and stabbed it through Grell’s body before shoving his body away only to be met by Thanos with a punch straight into Tenebris’ head.

Thanos punched him three more times knocking him over before Tenebris rammed his horns through Thanos’ chest out of his back and throwing him away.

Jarun Tann and Hux shot at him but were doing nothing.

Before they could run back, Tenebris used a force pull to bring them right toward him and impaling them both on his horns before turning around using their bodies as shields to block incoming gunfire from Zaeed and then opening his mouth firing twelve different explosive fireballs that launched out hitting Zaeed, Law, Yoshimitsu, Zetsu, Rykuza, and Caeruleo.

“We need to figure something out, and quick!” Jessica called out.

“Everyone, combo time, hit him together!” Serenity shouted.

Deidara and Chayd headed at Tenebris from behind while Cruise Chaser headed down at him from above.

All three were either throwing bombs, shooting, or firing down missiles at Tenebris.

Monoxide sent a poisonous gas at Tenebris’s face while Vulpix snapped her fingers to sent a blazing inferno through the gas and right into Tenebris’ nose and into his body.

“Don’t stop!” Makoto called out as she kept shooting.

Shunsui, Ric, Kisame, and Scarlet used their melee weapons to attack Tenebris while the flames kept scorching inside of his already scorched body.

“Vulpix, no more fire! Explosives aren’t doing anything!” Dray called out.

Vulpix stopped while Mareanie stepped in and channeled a whirlpool toward Tenebris’ opened mouth and down into his throat.

Mike and Sinkow sent their own chakra energy to flow into Mareanie to help her continue the whirlpool.

Tenebris tried to shake everyone away and managed to take down Shunsui before Karura surprised everyone by sending a lightning current through the water and right into Tenebris.

Cyclonis helped to channel her own lightning through the whirlpool that surrounded Tenebris.

“Chain power, go!” Eto shouted.

Eto grabbed Dengakuman who grinned holding onto two of Mangle’s magnetic explosives and she threw him right at Tenebris.

Dengakuman got onto Tenebris’ horn and shoved both bombs through his open eye sockets before leaping away.

Tenebris tried to scratch them out.

“Hit the button!” Mr. Hoshigaki called out.

Mr. Hoshigaki leaped at Tenebris and pushed his heavy body on him to knock him over while he was distracted.

“Ready!” Mangle called out.

Mangle pushed the button and it exploded inside of Tenebris’ skull while also taking out Mr. Hoshigaki in the process.

A cloud of black smoke appeared throughout the area and everyone was blinded.

“What the hell?” Dray said.

Suddenly they heard grunts and screams within the smoke.

Serenity used the reality stone to absorb all of the smoke so it was clear.

Everyone that fought Tenebris, was laying around dead.

“Oh fuck.” Serenity said.

Mangle stood there with a hole through her chest and her blood spilling out.

“Babe no!” Prompto shouted.

Suddenly Prompto grunted in pain as his body was split in two by Tenebris clawed fingers.

Mangle fell over while Tenebris rushed at Serenity trying to hit her only for Roland to intervene by punching his large fist against Tenebris’.

Bossk covered his body around Tenebris with Pendrak shooting two poisonous arrows at Tenebris that only dented off of his skin.

Tenebris used a force repulse to push all of them away before using the force to send down some crashing debris into their bodies and even splitting them in two.

Echidna leaped down with Ardyn and Gratia with their powers hitting Tenebris.

“He’s weakening!” Echidna called out.

Dunnen’ebe held his hands out to create two bubbles that pushed to absorb Tenebris’ arms to hold him tight and Piper playing her flute to help the bubbles hold control on his arms.

“Damn you!” Tenebris roared while he was being hit by energy.

Dray and Cosmic both slammed his lightsaber and her staff against his chest trying to pierce through while their left hands was out at his face to drain his force power.

Serenity leaped down and stabbed her lightsaber at the orb trying to pierce through its dark shield.

“More restraints!” Aizen yelled.

Marr and Guthix grabbed his legs while Shen and Nadia pushed their blades behind his knees.

“His body is like steel!” Shen shouted.

“Keep him down!” Ardyn yelled.

Tenebris slowly rose up but was knocked down by Yammy, Wrex, Jeh, and Havoc who sat on his back.

Tousen walked up with Hide.

“Need a hand?” Tousen asked.

Brute Justice walked out from around them and simply pushed his metal leg down on Tenebris’ shoulders.

“Ahhh!” Tenebris roared.

“Hurt’s don’t it?” Nanama said.

“Heh.” Decorus said grinning.

“Seems we won.” Aldsan said.

Leslie walked up and used her biotic power to create an opening into Tenebris’ mind.

“Let’s not say that just yet- Mismagius, Tomoko, a hand please?” Leslie asked.

Mismagius used her shadow ability to enter Tenebris’ mind while Tomoko used her nightmare power into his mind next.

“He’s fighting it, hurry!” Mismagius yelled.

“I’m trying to destroy this blasted shield thing around his fucking orb!” Serenity said.

“Maybe we need to hit it spiritually?” Akechi suggested.

“Leave it to me.” Stolas said.

“We don’t have long.” Ken said.

Stolas waved his hand over the orb but frowned.

“Serenity, I sense he’s doing something in his mind right now.” Stolas said.

“What?” Serenity asked.

“I don’t know but once I finish my spell, all of you give it your all.” Stolas said.

“Will he be vulnerable?” Aizen asked.

“Yes, including his body.” Stolas said.

“I got an idea- Mismagius, Tomoko, you good?” Aizen asked.

“For now, but struggling!” Tomoko said.

Aizen tapped on the comlink.

“All ships in our area, aim your guns on this location you see me contacting you from. Fire at this location with everything you got in ten seconds!” Aizen shouted.

Everyone quickly ran and Stolas waved his hand completing the spell while Serenity used her space stone to teleport him to a safe distance.

Tomoko and Mismagius teleported and after, Tenebris blinked coming back to realization.

Tenebris looked up and immediately laser fire, gunfire, missiles, protons, and different orbital bombardments hit his location and wrecked the hull completely where he stood.

“Stop firing.” Aizen said on the comlink.

The ships stopped.

Everyone looked to see the dust settle and there was nothing but a destroyed part of the hull with sparks escaping the ship.

“Did we do it?” Pain asked.

“Keep your weapons ready.” Serenity said.

Suddenly, Mismagius and Tomoko’s heads exploded and their bodies fell over.

“Holy shit! Look out!” Eto called out.

Tenebris jumped out from the hull underneath Shen and Dunnen’ebe killing them both immediately before using a flame power to boost himself higher into the air and land down creating an impact that ripped Drakan, Piper, Loona, and Xemnas’ bones into pieces.

“Now I’m mad!” Tenebris roared.

The orb on Tenebris’ forehead was glowing blood red with red static escaping from it.

“Stolas, is it still shielded?” Aizen asked.

“No, but his very power is keeping it strong enough not to break. I say we took down his barrier, but now we must focus on weakening him somehow.” Stolas said.

“Okay, another combo-” Aizen began to say.

Tenebris rose his hands up and the umbral lightning stopped.

“Huh?” Aizen thought.

Everyone was ready for anything.

“Power…!” Tenebris yelled out in laughter.

Lightning burst out of his fingertips, a million volts of lightning per finger soared into the sky and arched hitting every single ship, including his own Assertors and TIE’s.

All of the ships lost power and or was exploding.

“What the fuck!? Take cover!” James yelled.

“Where do we take cover!?” Garrus yelled back.

“Guys…!” Froslass shouted pointing up.

All ships fell from the sky crashing down around and on everyone.

Tenebris’ flagship took the full beating of a downpour of ships.

Tenebris was still standing as the debris hit an invisible power barrier while his lightning kept arching through the sky.

“Unlimited power!” Tenebris yelled out.

Lightning arched and kept wiping out every single ship throughout the realm until all was destroyed and crashed on his flagship which took a heavy beating, but it was still in orbit.

Tenebris stopped his unlimited lightning power and looked out to see the chaos he made with a chuckle escaping his boney teeth.

The only survivors of his destructive mess were; Serenity, Aizen, Ken, Eto, Akira, Drayconivous, Cosmic, Gin, Jessica, James, Akechi, Makoto, Nishio, Sasori, Stolas, Octavia, Javik, Shinobu, Qrow, Tousen, Aruriania, Starrk, Umbreon, Mordin, Hide and Decorus.

Dray’s eyes weakly opened to see Gin laying next to him.

Dray gently shook him to wake up.

“Did we lose?” Gin asked.

“Not yet.” Dray said.

Dray and Gin tried to stand up but fell back down.

“Fucking impact waves.” Dray said.

“We need to crawl for now until our legs aren’t so shakey.” Gin said.

“Let’s keep low in case Tenebris sees us too.” Dray suggested.

The two slowly crawled through the debris and even under debris.

“Look.” Gin said seeing Jessica sitting against some debris.

Gin and Dray headed over to her where she weakly opened her eyes.

“Where is everyone?” Jessica asked.

“Trying to find who’s alive.” Gin said.

The three took a moment to get their feelings in their legs back before looking over some debris to see Tenebris scouring the debris for any survivors.

“We need to hurry.” Dray said.

After a few minutes, they gathered the remaining people left and hid behind some debris.

Javik glanced up once in and while to keep tabs on where Tenebris was as he was still looking through the wreckage.

“I can’t believe he did that.” Aruriania said.

“We can’t give up hope, we can still win this.” Serenity said.

“Serenity’s right, we can still win this.” Akira said.

“But do we have a new plan?” Octavia asked.

“His normal barrier over his orb is gone, now he has to rely on his own power.” Stolas said.

“Yet as he kept shouting, it’s unlimited.” Starrk said.

“Not necessarily, if you think about it, he pretty much used up quite a bit of power just by doing that destructive power. I think he might be weakened down enough for us to take this opportunity.” Stolas said.

“What opportunity?” Dray asked.

“We rush him and attack him, same as we did before.” Stolas said.

Serenity was pondering.

“Serenity?” Akechi asked seeing her think with her eyes looking down.

“I got a stupid plan, but before I say it, I think I should tell everyone else here what I wished for in the cave.” Serenity said looking to Aizen.

Aizen looked to Javik.

“Keep your eyes on Tenebris.” Aizen said.

Everyone huddled up and spoke.

“So that’s what you wished for?” Aruriania asked.

Serenity nodded.

“This is one hell of a risky plan you know.” Dray said.

“You got any better idea?” Serenity asked.

Dray shook his head.

“I think we need a stupid plan.” Cosmic said with a shrug.

“So the question is, who here is going to play the dumb card?” Akira asked.

Mordin rose his hand.

“Mordin are you sure…?” Serenity asked softly.

Mordin nodded.

“Don’t worry, trust in your plan.” Mordin said with a smile.

Serenity nodded.

Mordin crouched and headed around some debris away from the others and popped his head up before standing up and walking on some debris.

Tenebris noticed Mordin and ran toward him.

“Maggot!” Tenebris shouted.

“Excuse me, I wish to surrender.” Mordin said.

Tenebris slowed his speed and walked up toward Mordin.

“Surrender? It’s a bit late for that.” Tenebris said.

Tenebris grabbed Mordin’s neck and rose him off his feet.

“S-stop, I’m too w-weak.” Mordin said.

Tenebris chuckled and kept choking him slowly while bringing him close to his face.

“I love to see maggots beg.” Tenebris said.

Suddenly, Mordin put his palm on Tenebris’ forehead touching the orb.

“I wish the body you have now is destroyed!” Mordin shouted.

Suddenly, there was a flash of light…

Chapter 14: The End Is Nigh

Everyone quickly got onto the Debris to see what happened.

“Did it work?” Aizen said.

Where Tenebris was, was a human-looking male, the angel that betrayed Akira.

He was just wearing pants with no shirt or shoes, his hair was combed back and flowing with his yellowish-red glowing eyes staring daggers at Mordin.

Tenebris was back in his original body.

“Look what you made, you foolish being.” Tenebris said grinning.

Tenebris rose his arms up.

“Now my beauty has returned.” Tenebris said.

Mordin didn’t say anything but instead rose his blaster pistol up and shot Tenebris in the gut.

Tenebris blinked and looked down to see only a slight burn mark on his gut.

“That confirms it! Let’s help him!” Aizen said.

Tenebris quickly shot a million bolts of lightning from his index finger into Mordin’s face killing him before turning to see everyone running toward him.

“Fucking monster!” Qrow shouted.

“What the… you- how did- when did-.” Tenebris tried to say and figure out what happened.

“Simple! You have two bodies, one you was born with and one you were cursed with! I figured it would be a pain in the ass if we did defeat you only for you to somehow resort back to your former body! So we decided to test the theory of what the orb would protect. Which body would it, but we came to the conclusion, your former since your cursed body is just a shell.” Serenity said.

“And without it, you are currently a bit vulnerable for now. A shame you don’t have a day to recover your true defense abilities while we are around.” Aizen said.

Tenebris just scoffed.

“I wish for my former weapon to return to me.” Tenebris said.

The orb flashed and in Tenebris’ hand was a golden electrum curved lightsaber hilt.

Javik aimed his beam gun and fired it at Tenebris.

Tenebris rose his left hand and with the back of his hand he shielded himself from the attack.

Without looking, Tenebris swung his lightsaber back to deflect Gin’s quick attack coming from behind and spun around to let the beam graze Gin’s shoulder while Tenebris spun twice around with his lightsaber cutting Gin’s body in three pieces.

Eto in her Kakuja form rushed Tenebris trampling him down while Tousen leaped out with Aruriania, their weapons were drawn and smashed against each side of Tenebris’ neck.

It wasn’t piercing through, but there was a line starting to form from his skin.

Tenebris used his speed to run backward a mile away in the blink of an eye.

Appearing behind him was Tousen.

“Not done yet!” Tousen shouted.

Tenebris turned around and the two fought with their blades before Tenebris sent a million bolts of lightning from his finger at Tousen.

Tousen was shocked everywhere before slowly turning into ash.

James ran up and bashed his shoulder into Tenebris knocking him back and opened fire sending a bullet barrage at him.

Tenebris’ skin began to peel from each shot and he quickly spun his lightsaber cutting the rifle in two.

James pulled out a ballistic dagger and fought him head-on until Tenebris managed to our maneuver him and stab him through his chest.

Five Cero beams hit Tenebris’ left side and he noticed Starrk running at him with two Cero guns drawn.

Tenebris used the force to pull Starrk to him but was hit by another Cero aimed at him and Aruriania coming up from above slamming her ax blade down on his collar and a slight cut was formed.

Tenebris grabbed Aruriania’s head and sent a shock of lightning through her body before pushing in two vortex balls into her skull and throwing her at Starrk where both exploded in a vortex of lightning zapping away their body parts.

Javik ran at Tenebris and pushed his beam gun on his forehead at the orb and fired.

The beam kept hitting the orb but was doing nothing to it.

Tenebris tried to shake him off until using his lightsaber to pierce through Javik’s head and throwing his body over.

Hide ran up from behind and pushed a sticky bomb up on Tenebris’ back and didn’t let go.

“Try this on!” Hide shouted.

The bomb went off killing Hide in the process and ripping some of Tenebris’ skin off of his back making him yell in pain.

“My healing regeneration, no way, where is it!?” Tenebris shouted to himself.

Serenity swung her lightsaber at him and the two dueled while Qrow ran up swinging his scythe at Tenebris.

The two suddenly leaped away from him only for blaster shots to hit him in the gut by Decorus.

Decorus took aim again but Tenebris used the force and threw his lightsaber impaling Decorus in the chest before bringing it back and spinning around deflecting Serenity and Qrow’s incoming attacks.

Sasori summoned one of his puppets to come out from under the debris behind Tenebris and wrap itself around him before detonating with the last grenade pack inside.

Tenebris wheezed in pain and held his left hand out weakly using a force drain ability on Sasori which suddenly grew stronger the more he used it to build up his energy and to heal up.

“Stop him!” Aizen shouted.

Sasori tried to move but couldn’t and once Serenity reached Tenebris, he force pushed her away and drained Sasori from his life energy completely.

“Damn it…” Serenity growled.

Shinobu raised her hand and shot her own lightning at Tenebris who countered with his own lightning.

The two lightning colors were striking one another with fierce force.

“You think you can best me!?” Tenebris shouted.

“No! But he can!” Shinobu shouted.

Nishio appeared behind Tenebris and stabbed his blade through his back and out his chest.

“Y-you m-missed…” Tenebris said.

Nishio cocked an eyebrow before Tenebris used the force to hold Nishio’s lightsaber and turned around pushing himself on Nishio letting the blade pierce him and into his heart.

“You missed my heart.” Tenebris said with a grin.

Nishio coughed up blood and fell back.

Serenity ran at Tenebris only for Tenebris to use Nishio’s lightsaber to block a few of Serenity’s strikes before kicking her up her jaw.

Before Tenebris could send both blades into Serenity, Qrow kicked Tenebris in the head and sliced Nishio’s lightsaber out of his hand before going for his head.

Tenebris quickly used some of his force drain mixed with his force lightning to fry Qrow into ashes.

Octavia threw a spell attachment on Tenebris and Jessica shot magic explosive spheres into the sky which immediately bombarded around Tenebris as the spell attachment acted as a locator for Jessica’s magic.

Tenebris threw his lightsaber impaling Octavia and quickly brought it into his hand to block Jessica’s rapier strikes.

Jessica managed to stab his shoulder but Tenebris grabbed her head and forced her head to twist before immediately spinning his body and cutting her head off.

Shinobu shot another lightning barrage at Tenebris who used his own to counter her’s.

Stolas created a magical gust of wind to surround Tenebris with Makoto throwing in her belt of grenades to twirl around the wind.

Serenity shot one fireball into the wind and it exploded around Tenebris.

All there was left was smoke.

“He might still be alive.” Cosmic said.

Tenebris slowly stepped out of the smoke, twitching as he walked.

The orb was glowing red with red static escaping it and its glow was brightening with some energy pouring out.

“Guys…?” Ken asked.

“What’s he doing?” Aizen questioned.

Tenebris shot out a large red beam known as a magnetohydrodynamic beam, with 450 kilotons of TNT power within the beam causing a complete destructive impact at everyone.

Shinobu, Umbreon, Makoto, Akechi, and Stolas were all vaporized while everyone else was blasted back.

Aizen quickly got to his feet.

“What the hell was that!?” Aizen shouted.

“A secret, which I have plenty more.” Tenebris said with a grin.

Serenity and Aizen began to circle Tenebris who was amused.

Cosmic sent a healing power around everyone left standing.

Akira pulled out his remaining dagger and began to circle next.

Ken and Eto in their Kakuja forms was waiting.

Dray gripped his double-bladed lightsaber with his eyes narrowing at Tenebris.

“We going to do this?” Tenebris said amusingly.

“Damn right we will you mother fucker.” Aizen said.

Everyone tightened their grip on their weapons or their own fists.

Tenebris’ eyes cornered left to right before directing his eyes at Aizen.

Sweat dripped from Dray’s forehead while Eto swallowed.

Cosmic took one step back.

Serenity inhaled.

Aizen exhaled.

Akira twirled his dagger once.

Ken’s tentacles slowly moved up and down.

Once Dray’s sweat hit the hull, Tenebris quickly got onto his back while spinning his lightsaber between his feet twirling at Aizen and Serenity’s weapons to knock them away and surprise them before rolling up to both his feet catching his lightsaber and slashing upward to block Akira’s strike and backflipping twice from Ken’s tentacles going at him while Cosmic sent two energy beams at him. Eto nearly crushed him but he managed to leap over her and while in mid-air went toward Cosmic.

Cosmic twirled her staff to block each of his incoming attacks but he tricked her by turning off his lightsaber in the midst fight and turned it back on igniting it through her throat.

He turned around to quickly meet a violent Dray who kept battering his lightsaber at Tenebris.

Tenebris just laughed and grabbed Dray’s hilt in between his hands before slicing upward across his torso and slicing his lightsaber in two.

Dray fell over while still breathing, but slowly.

Serenity dashed at Tenebris swinging her lightsaber left to right while Tenebris kept countering.

Aizen’s reiatsu hit Tenebris to weaken him but it still wasn’t enough to stop him.

Eto rushed him and Tenebris jumped away but Serenity followed by jumping his way and kept striking at him.

Eto turned back around and Tenebris instead shoved Serenity at Eto’s path making her stop and Tenebris jumping up and striking Eto’s Kakuja across it’s head and spinning around to fire a Lightning Vortex that exploded killing Eto.

Ken’s tentacles smashed into Tenebris knocking him into the hull a few times before Tenebris shot lightning through the tentacles and into Ken’s body electrifying him to death.

Akira leaped down impaling Tenebris’ chest with his dagger but Tenebris grabbed Akira’s throat taking some of his life energy to regenerate before opening his palm and sending out a force turbulence that broke every bone in Akira’s body while his body just flew off miles away.

Aizen and Serenity spun around and smashed their weapons against Tenebris’ blade while pushing.

Tenebris had a toothy grin while he was pushing back and ducked before deactivating his lightsaber and reactivating it piercing through Aizen’s chest and then ripping it out of his body to block Serenity’s incoming attacks.

Tenebris backflipped with his feet on some debris and jumped forward to knock Serenity down before rolling back behind her and swinging his blade to cut her left leg right off and then shoving her down on the hull.

Serenity was surprised and even scared that he managed to trick them so easily.

“One more attempt…” Serenity thought to herself.

Serenity tried to get up but Tenebris cut the other leg and just laughed watching her fall.

“So this is how you die, as a failure!” Tenebris laughed.

Serenity’s right hand slowly opened while he was talking and she sent a ghostly essence toward Dray who was still alive laying nearby, this essence left her body and headed his way.

Tenebris didn’t seem to notice and stomped his foot on Serenity’s face twice.

“Today marks the end of all life!” Tenebris shouted.

Tenebris stabbed his blade into Serenity’s stomach but Serenity wrapped her arms and her thighs around him to pull herself in and then looped her arm around his neck while using her left hand to touch his forehead and the orb.

Tenebris tried to get her off and after only two seconds, he managed to cut both of her hands off making her fall off.

It seemed she didn’t have enough time to make a wish.

“Too slow, you fucking failure.” Tenebris said with a grin.

Tenebris stabbed Serenity’s forehead and then deactivated his lightsaber with a sigh of relief.

Behind him, Dray slowly rose up and used the force to bring Serenity’s lightsaber to his hand.

Tenebris looked back.

“It seems she wished for you to return to life, what a waste of a wish.” Tenebris said.

Dray gave him a mean look, and Tenebris noticed something was different about Dray, a lot different.

“Let’s make this interesting.” Tenebris said.

Tenebris rose his left hand up.

“I wish for all life, to end!” Tenebris shouted.

The orb flashed with a dark haze escaping it.

Tenebris laughed but Dray wasn’t scared, he kept his mean look directed at Tenebris which made Tenebris knew, something else was going on.

Tenebris and Dray were the last two left in life, the devil, and the father.

Chapter 15: The Duel of the Fates

Tenebris sensed something was wrong with Dray.

Tenebris sensed something was wrong with Dray.

Dray’s flesh wound on his arm started to drip of black blood.

Tenebris was confused and Dray noticed the confusion.

“The Black Blood curse…” Dray said forebodingly.

“Heh, and if this curse is upon you, then why should I worry?” Tenebris asked.

“Because I hunger for sentient flesh and my body is fueled with adrenaline. Adrenaline that you can’t comprehend.” Dray said.

“How did you survive?” Tenebris asked.

“Serenity gave me all of her abilities through essence transfer. I have all of her abilities in me, and all of this power has to be fueled by something strong enough, and the Black Blood is what is strong enough. And at its most potent, one must be hungry… and you’re the sentient here with the meat.” Dray said with a hiss at the end.

Dray’s mind started to go blank as the darkness tried to take him.

“Think of your family…” Dray told himself.

Dray thinking of his family was enough to keep the darkness at bay from taking over his mind, but he was struggling.

“And you think that’s enough to stop me?” Tenebris said.

“Yes.” Dray said.

“You do realize that there is no afterlife, nothing, nothing outside of my realm. This is it. And my realm is right now slowly ripping apart around us. Soon, nothing will be left. If you live or die it doesn’t matter, you have nowhere to go but the darkness, and I know I shall live.” Tenebris said.

“Then I guess I’ll have to take you down with me.” Dray said.

Tenebris looked around amusedly before looking back at Dray.

“So, just you left huh?” Tenebris asked as he twirled his lightsaber.

“Yeah, just me.” Dray said as he activated Serenity’s lightsaber and rose the gauntlet on his left hand up.

Tenebris’ blade, a crimson red, glowing of hateful power while Dray’s lightsaber, an ocean blue, glowing of passion.

The two stared at one another, their hands slightly shaking, Dray and Tenebris were the last beings left in all life and it was all left to Dray to stop Tenebris no matter what.

And it happened in the blink of an eye…

Dray clashed his lightsaber against Tenebris’ and the two collided their blades rapidly.

Tenebris was knocked down only to let out a force scream at Dray along with a force push to knock him back while forcing himself up and spinning around to slam his lightsaber against Dray’s who quickly blocked his incoming attack.

Tenebris was like a wild untamed beast with his sparring and power abilities going all over the place, even his lightning sparking out at random times to try to hit Dray while also defending himself.

Dray spun in mid-air diagonally to avoid an incoming attack and summoned a thousand bubbles of water around himself and all of them popped with sonic explosions leaving them and hitting both himself and Tenebris.

Tenebris growled and tilted his head back showing the same red energy forming around his orb.

Dray held his right hand out and the destructive beam shot out only to be met by Dray’s palm who was using Serenity’s chakra abilities to absorb it, but it was so powerful it took a lot of energy out of him to absorbing such devastation.

Dray lowered his hand and quickly rose his lightsaber up to block another one of Tenebris’ incoming attacks.

Dray thrust his left gauntlet out and the power stone glowed only to shoot a blaze of energy at Tenebris who in turn shot his own lightning at it.

At such close range, the lightning and power stone’s energies together made an explosion that destroyed Dray’s gauntlet and the stones into pieces.

Dray’s left hand was burned up but his black blood was regenerating his skin quickly.

Dray and Tenebris collided their blades again and during their swings, their lightsabers lunged forward and both blade tips hit one another and made a chain reaction that blew up both lightsabers.

The two quickly resorted to using their fists and powers.

Dray quickly swung his fists at Tenebris who blocked them and punched Dray in the gut twice before grabbing the back of his neck and throwing him off.

Tenebris shot his lightning out at Dray who shot out Vector arrows from out of his fingertips.

The Vectors kept re-directing the lightning into different angles before directing them right back into Tenebris shocking him back.

Tenebris shook his head and jumped up and kicked his foot into Dray’s head knocking him back.

Dray rolled backward and onto his feet with a surprising blast of fire escaping the palm of his hand which hit Tenebris in the chest.

Tenebris quickly recovered and rushed at Dray with his own flame attack which was a wall of fire headed at Dray.

Dray created a water jutsu that surrounded his body and as the flame wall passed by he shot the water shield out at Tenebris to knock him back a few steps.

Tenebris kicked down on the hull and made summoning of a large dark foggy boulder which cracked into several large pieces and used the force to shoot them at Dray like meteors.

Dray created an aura around his arms and sliced each rock that came at him with his bare arms before making an X block to block the largest rock coming at him completely.

Tenebris ran at Dray and made an impact punch which made Dray fly back, but he managed to backflip and spin upward before landing safely on his feet.

Dray put his hands together and summoned geysers to pop out and create a tsunami over the hull.

Tenebris leaped up and used a dark spell under his feet to run on the water at Dray but was caught by a whirlpool and suddenly bolts of lightning shooting up out of it and knocking Tenebris into the air.

Tenebris’ eyes glowed red and he force pushed himself at Dray, punching the water and using a strange force power to swirl around Dray before shooting back to Tenebris who punched Dray with powerful turbulence to knock him five miles away.

Dray skidded on the water before skidding on the metal hull and finally crashing into some of the hull structure leaving an imprinted dent in it.

Dray forced himself out and gripped his head which was in pain.

Tenebris flew at Dray with fast speed and right as he reached Dray, he was knocked over by Dray’s arm being bashed into his head making him fall on his back into the hull.

Dray turned around to stomp Tenebris but Tenebris rolled out of the way before kicking Dray’s back to having him stumble to the left before punching him to the right.

The two men were now kicked onto their backs and rolled while sending attacks to one another before both rolled back to their feet.

Tenebris opened his palm and shot a force push directly into Dray’s face, but it wasn’t enough to break his neck.

Dray flew back half a mile and landed on his feet before spreading his fingers out and shooting explosive vector arrowheads at Tenebris.

Tenebris forced a dark sphere-like shield to soak up the thousand vector arrows shot at him.

Once it ended, Tenebris closed his palms ending the shield with a smirk on his face.

Dray surprised him by uncloaking sixteen different vectors that was hovering above and all of them shot at Tenebris knocking him over with his body scorched up with flames.

Tenebris used the force to lift some of the hull up and firing it at Dray who used the force and was strong enough to re-launch it right back at Tenebris knocking him away.

Dray ran at Tenebris at full speed with his arm stretched out to summon a chakra-type blade.

Tenebris leaped onto his feet summoning a lightning blade and clashed against the chakra blade.

The two fought with their blades, Dray having to kick Tenebris into the hull.

Tenebris got up and quickly elbowed Dray’s face before swinging his blade at him only for their blades to clash again.

Their blades clashing got them closer and closer till they was punching one another as well and both turned around with their backs pressed to one another and pushed away from each other attempting a slash to each other’s backs but their blades sliced up against one another instead.

Dray slashed away Tenebris’ blade only to punch Tenebris right in the face.

Dray’s neck had dark veins appearing and going up toward his face, the curse was slowly eating him up since he had no sentient meat and making his power grow painfully.

The realm was still shrinking and the flagship finally was crumbling away as life was fading away.

“Existence is going to disappear forever!” Tenebris shouted as blood dripped out of the corner of his mouth.

“And you won’t be in it!” Dray shouted back as his eyelids began to bleed.

Dray was overusing the power that Serenity transferred to him and his vision was slowly beginning to blur.

The curse was also taking an effect on his body as he wasn’t eating sentient meat to fuel the power.

“Getting tired huh?” Tenebris said.

Dray just scoffed at him.

Tenebris ran at Dray laughing.

“Foolish boy!” Tenebris shouted.

That’s when Dray saw the right moment to use it…

Dray put his hands together and created an airflow that surrounded Tenebris forcing him to stop moving as the wind cut his arm an inch deep.

“Chrysalis Death Coffin!” Dray shouted.

Tenebris was confused at those words.

Then, a pinkish aura appeared in the wind and the wind circled like a fierce tornado spinning around Tenebris.

Tenebris raised his arms over his face to try to see.

The pink tornado began to shoot out lightning inside along with chunks of purple rocks spinning around inside.

Tenebris tried to get out but his body was cut each time he tried to leave.

The tornado began to shrink and the clusters of purple rock acted like clay and molded around Tenebris and covered his body.

The lightning inside shot rapidly in the middle before it became just one large lightning bolt that continued to spark.

Fifty dark shrouded vector swords appeared outside the tornado and each of them sparked Amaterasu flames.

All the blades shot in and there was a purple explosion of power that gusted out after the impact and Dray put his arm over his face to keep the wind out of his eyes.

The tornado vanished revealing Tenebris still standing, but his eyes was wide as his body was severely damaged, with his bones showing in some places and half his skull showing.

Tenebris was using his darkness to keep his body moving while his spirit was still intact and in control of the body.

Dray eyed the orb seeing it could fall out and quickly ran at Tenebris.

Dray’s vision was blurring and his power began to eat up his life energy as well as his chakra.

Tenebris summoned a dark spear-like weapon in his boney hand and lunged forward stabbing Dray through his stomach.

Dray pushed himself against Tenebris and grabbed the orb and instead used all of his remaining power to create a smaller Chrysalis Death Coffin at it’s size to only target the orb.

“No!” Tenebris shouted.

The orb began to crack and leak its power.

“No!” Tenebris shouted again.

Tenebris kept stabbing Dray who kept hanging on while his organs were being pierced.

“A little more…!” Dray thought to himself.

The orb finally shattered and turned into dust.

Tenebris’ eyes widened in fright.

The dust particles of the orb were inhaled by Dray who was close enough and he let himself fall.

“I wish your body was destroyed!” Dray yelled.

“Heh, I can’t die by my own orb.” Tenebris said.

Dray just grinned.

“A good thing it’s now a part of me.” Dray said.

That’s when Tenebris realized, he inhaled all of the atoms of the orb and now it’s power to grant such wish was possible.

Tenebris threw his dark spear and impaled Dray right through the head.

“Damn you!” Tenebris yelled.

The reality was now just about gone, the darkness was enclosing and Tenebris’ body began to shake.

“This can’t be happening, no this can’t be it! I was to rule! I had it all planned out! I won! I won! This can’t happen! I was victorious! No! No!” Tenebris screamed.

Dray’s body turned into ash as the dark void touched him and the orb, forever gone.

Tenebris stood alone, all that was left while slowly becoming to perish from his own orb.

White lightning came out of nowhere and electrified Tenebris with more than a billion bolts ripping through the remainder of his flesh and bones, tearing away everything left of his original body.

Tenebris yelled in pain as the wish on the orb was fully taking his life.

His skull was being vaporized along with some other parts of his body as he kept yelling while his own vocal cords in his throat was being vaporized to sound strange.

Tenebris yelled one final time before his entire body burst into ashes and the dark void closed up.

Life was no more… but in the dark void, was something else.

Chapter 16: The Chosen One

Tenebris woke up in the nothingness, he was in his spirit form and he grinned wickedly.

“That fool, heh, even I forgot I have my spiritual form.” Tenebris said to himself.

“Their wasted attempted was-” Tenebris began to say.

Tenebris turned around only to be met by Serenity, Aizen, Ken, Eto, and Akira in spirit form.

Tenebris’ eyes widened.

“How can this be?” Tenebris said.

Akira walked toward him first.

“I reclaim my title as God, and to others, the Lord of Song!” Akira shouted.

Akira swung his fist forward and hit Tenebris across the face.

“I can feel…?” Tenebris said.

“Feel this!” Aizen shouted.

Aizen swung his fist at Tenebris next but Tenebris quickly caught it before Ken and Eto from each side punched his head making him dizzy.

Serenity leaped forward and smashed her elbow into his face and then kneeing his stomach.

Tenebris staggered and swung his fist back but only for it to be caught by Ken who flung him to the right.

Akira jumped up and kicked up at Tenebris’ jaw.

Aizen managed to punch him twice in the stomach before shoving him to Eto who spun and kicked him over to Ken who ran his elbow into his chest.

Tenebris weakly tried to stand straight only to be punched across the face by Serenity and managed to lift him off his feet and make him soar into the nothingness until he got himself back up.

The five of them floated back to him.

Suddenly… every single spirit appeared throughout the nothingness.

Spirits were spread everywhere toward the horizon and further out.

“You yourself said that there is nothing outside of your reality, but what you didn’t say was where our spirits would go. This is the nothingness, this is the void. You didn’t have a plan for our spirits, only our spirits in our bodies.” Serenity said.

Tenebris just scoffed and created his dark power in his palm and soared back.

Everyone ran at him yelling out battle cries and with tears in their eyes, they was tears of all the pain and anger they had for so so long and finally they could unleash it upon him.

Tenebris saw Fern run in first with a glowing energy sword swinging at him while Karura shot white lightning at him and then Aizen coming in from one side with his glowing white sword to attack.

Tenebris ducked, used his dark power in his palms to block, and even kicked away Fern.

Tenebris held both his hands out at the incoming horde of people and created a repulse but, it didn’t really work.

So many people bunched together pushed the other to fight against the repulse that it was pointless.

Everyone finally got to Tenebris.

“This can’t be happening!” Tenebris yelled.

Almost every being was managing to get a punch in.

“Here!” Froslass screamed.

Tenebris turned his head only to be punched by a blast of ice and then another ice punch hit him from Desolate before his chin was uppercut by Umi-Taka’s fist.

Tenebris stumbled a bit before being greeted by Umbreon with three punches across the face, each one strong enough to break bone, and then she ducked to allow Jessica to shoot a blast of magical energy at Tenebris which knocked him back a few yards away.

“Sup son!” Mangle shouted.

Zarbon and Lamar launched Mangle at Tenebris and she grabbed onto his body and biting him to pierce into his spiritual flesh.

Charlie and Dengakuman leaped up to try to bite into him too.

“Little rodent, get off of me! All of you!” Tenebris yelled.

Tenebris created another repulse to blast them all away, except Serenity and Cosmic used a power to bring them all back at him like a magnet.

Tenebris yelled in pain while blades, magic, and any other spiritual power was hitting him.

Mismagius created a shadow ball and threw it at Tenebris’ face before it bounced off and she turned around grabbing it and throwing it right back into his face again before snapping her fingers letting it explode.

Tenebris was left dazed from the explosion trying to figure out what just happened.

A beam of energy hit him which made him skid back and noticed Cosmic being the one doing it.

Karura, Cyclonis, Mismagius, Jessica, Scarlet, and Pain shot out an energy beam together which rocked Tenebris away but then another line of energy blasted him which was created by Sazuki, Aruriania, Maychiro, Granz, and Ulquiorra.

Tenebris finally managed to struggle away from the beam but his spiritual regeneration was now beginning to slow down, which meant he had to hurry and stop them.

The Aparoid Queen sent down a sonic wave to confuse Tenebris while Shen and the Plague Doctor leaped by him with their blades cutting his shoulders and Echidna swinging a powerful energy punch into his gut making him soar off and his head being smashed down by Roland, Gohah, Yammy, Nicklaus, Zommari, Scourge, and Saren.

Tenebris front flipped down into the nothingness only for sixteen million other Aliens and Humans to blast him with different energy weapons or magic before he was met by Thanos who sent a full-force punch into his face to blast him right back up.

Serenity grabbed his neck and spun him over to be stabbed by Dray and then shot with a beam from Cosmic.

Tenebris’ body was slowly regenerating and he was breathing heavily with a worried look on his face.

Espeon jumped down behind him and before she landed an attack, she instead just smiled and rolled backward only for Makoto to leap over her and aimed her spirit revolver at Tenebris’ face and pulled the trigger sending a blast of energy at Tenebris to knock him back miles away in the nothingness.

Tenebris coughed as his head was regenerating back to normal but his spiritual aura was starting to fade away.

“Blast me at him!” Vulpix shouted.

Vulpix’ body was covered in a fire until her image wasn’t even seen.

Malak and Revan used the force and force pushed her right at Tenebris like a fireball and it blasted and burned him up.

Tenebris flew back a few yards away and spun around to get the white flames off.

“Their attacks are getting crazy!” Tenebris said to himself.

His eyes widened as he saw an endless wave of people running at him, from everywhere in the nothingness.

“I’ll just erase you.” Tenebris said putting his hands together.

Tenebris was creating a dark sphere of sorts and it was materializing into another orb.

“I’ll just use all my power to make another to end all life!” Tenebris yelled.

Suddenly the dark sphere cracked and broke away.

Serenity manifested in front of him.

“We knew you’d say that.” Serenity said.

Everyone’s spirits began to slowly shrink into balls of aether and travel into Serenity’s body.

“What is…” Tenebris said confused.

“You were overconfident and reckless. You thought you won, you really did think you win and so you didn’t check on us, instead, you summon us for torture to amuse yourself for the day. Yet you never thought to look into our minds, into what we was really doing. You truly thought you won. For over ten thousand years we suffered under you, but we was growing stronger every single day. We all began to have a plan, a destiny, a way to survive. The thing is, life cannot be contained. Life finds a way.” Serenity said.

Tenebris slowly grinned at her.

“I hate to disappoint you, but you failed either way. There is nothing left!” Tenebris said.

“Actually, there might be.” Serenity said.

Tenebris looked confused.

“You see, I had a risky wish to make. A wish that I consulted with everyone first.” Serenity said.

Aizen, Ken, Eto, and Akira’s spirits were sucked into Serenity’s body and the rest of the spirits were entering her as her ultimate Kekkai Genkai began to turn white in her crimson eyes and to begin shinning bright like the sun.

Tenebris’ teeth gritted.

“What did you do?” Tenebris asked.

“I wished that if we destroyed you completely out of existence, that we had a new afterlife, a beautiful afterlife that the only god would think to provide. What that will be, I don’t know? What I do know is, you must be completely gone and that you would never harm us ever again. We would have a peaceful eternal afterlife. We would all be dead sure, but life will carry on in the afterlife, where no one dies, and life keeps growing in peace, no more evil, no more pain. We would be dead anyway if I didn’t wish for it, our spirits would be gone as you said, so I figured why not give it a chance to wish for a new afterlife.” Serenity said.

Tenebris had a hateful look on his face, he was growing more furious by the second.

“Judging by your face, I say that you didn’t plan for us to wish that.” Serenity said with an amused smirk.

“You cannot do this! I judge what happens! Everything belongs to me!” Tenebris yelled.

“We will all be reborn after you’re gone.” Serenity said.

“You mother fucking cunt, you fucking human!” Tenebris shouted.

“One last thing, you thought I revived my father. He was already alive, I just transferred my power to him. I wished for his black blood curse to return so he could kick your ass to a pulp. You ‘fucking’ moron.” Serenity said with a grin.

Tenebris’ eyelid twitched with rage.

Serenity stretched her right hand out and as the last spirits entered her body, a glowing white spiritual sword appeared in her hand.

Tenebris looked at her in shock, his eyes went from anger… to dread.

Suddenly the angels that he wiped from existence re-appeared back to life and entered Serenity’s body.

Tenebris stretched out his arms and rose them up screaming in manic madness.

“This isn’t supposed to happen! It is all mine! You belong to me!” Tenebris shouted.

A dark sword appeared in Tenebris’ right hand while dark lightning appeared in his left.

Tenebris’ form began to turn back to a demon-like form while he roared at Serenity.

“Everything belongs to me!” Tenebris screamed.

“Not anymore!” Serenity said.

Serenity and Tenebris ran at one another.

Tenebris then remembered what Akira said a long long time ago before he took over all life…

“The prophecy I made says that there is a Chosen One who will destroy all darkness and bring in eternal light on my behalf. No one, not even I know who it will be. That’s the fun part of a good mystery.” Akira said to Tenebris with a smile.

Tenebris’ eyes widened and he gasped.

“You!? You cannot be the chosen one! It cannot be real!” Tenebris shouted.

Serenity swung her blade and a light wave shot at Tenebris, destroying his dark sword and stopping his lightning.

“Not just me-!” Serenity began to say.

“This cannot be! I am your god!” Tenebris screamed.

The green-haired man’s image appeared for a brief moment.

“No, I am God.” He said before becoming one with Akira.

“And I judge you to death.” Akira said before his spirit returned to the blade.

Serenity made it a foot from Tenebris with a determined look on her face.

Tenebris saw a flash of every single being that ever lived in a manner of only a second.

“We are all Chosen!” Serenity finished saying and every spirit shouted at the same time those words with her.

Then all he saw was Serenity who’s eyes were back to crimson red and all of the spirits in the sword.

“I wish to wipe you out of existence!” Serenity yelled.

Serenity swung her blade across Tenebris’ body and a flash of light glowed out from the cut mark across his body which engulfed him.

Tenebris’ soul, gone, wiped from existence.

It was dark and quiet…

It was more than a minute of darkness and silence…

Then a heartbeat was heard and felt…

Serenity’s eyes slowly opened to see the sunshine in the middle of the sky.

She turned a bit to avoid the sunlight and saw blue sky with some scattered fluffy clouds around.

At the east of the sky, she saw a large moon that was close to the planet, and at the west was another moon that was close to the planet. The two was perfectly separated on each horizon to circle halfway in the light and dark sides of this enormous planet.

The planet seemed endless, there was no way to truly know how massive it was, but it was there, it was all there, it was real.

She slowly sat up to see she was wearing a white robe and looked around to see she was in the middle of a field that stretched toward the horizon, it was filled with different colors of tulips.

Serenity smiled with tears falling, tears of joy.

“Finally!” Serenity cried out.

She took a deep breath of the new fresh air and stood up to hear hollering toward her.

Serenity turned around to see Akechi running toward her, he too was wearing a white robe.

The two ran toward one another and Serenity jumped on him wrapping her arms and legs around him and the two embraced with smiles, tears of joy, and then a long kiss.

The two looked into each other’s eyes and then looked off into the distance to see a few more figures raise from the flowers.

“Let’s go find our friends.” Akechi said.

Serenity nodded and the two held hands running through the field to find their friends.

They was in eternal peace.

Chapter 17: A New Eternity (Part 1)

A thousand years later…

The planet was thriving with old and new eternal life, it seemed endless yet it had a day and night.

The two moons on opposite sides of this endless planet were able to light up the night sky along with the endless night of stars behind them.

It was a peaceful afterlife.

We zoom in toward a random part of the planet to see a floating city in the sky, with a circular rim of small floating islands around the main structure, large flat land with buildings on it but with an opening in the center.

In the center was a faintly glowing star that was giving natural power to maintain this city.

The city is known as, Regnum Coeleste was the Angel Kingdom, and the throne of God.

The city and the surrounding buildings on the smaller floating islands were clean and shining.

The buildings had an Alexandrian steampunk vibe to them and all of them seemed to run off natural power or even steam power.

At one of the buildings, Leslie was speaking with the Angel caretakers, and passing her was Marr and Atton who waved at her and she waved back before continuing to talk to the Angel.

Nearby was a marketplace where the Illusive Man was walking about with Daniel and the two were just chatting about something.

Caesar Clown was at a marketplace showing some goods and met with Hackett and Vexen and the group chatted before Mienshao approached with a smile and flashed some money as she was making a purchase.

On the other side of the city was Jeh trying to fit through a doorway and the Top Hat Man having to sigh and help him go through the garage entrance so he didn’t rip the front door off.

Across the street, Hayato and Mitsuko were holding hands while looking at the sky seeing Alexandrian airships going by with passengers.

On one of the airships was Joker who was flying passengers and amongst the crowd was RayRay and Colress.

Below them was a group of birds flying about with Cruise Chaser flying by along with Stork who was in a small flying contraption as the two was racing.

The group of birds landed on a roof where Matagi began to feed them.

Inside an apartment room below her was Tomoko who had a fan on herself while playing a video game and Gladiolus sleeping on the couch.

At the center of Regnum Coeleste was the Heavenly palace which floated above the faint star.

Inside, Free walked in the door waving over to Granz who ran over to show them around while Kakuzu was nearby arguing with two Angels and showing them an empty piggy bank, and the two Angels were just sighing trying to explain something to him.

In a room was Scarlet who was just looking out the window to see the Aparoid Queen fly by with a few Aparoid Moths and then she looked over toward a part of the city.

At that part of the city was a train station where Koga was walking by while listening to music.

Outside the station were Zelina and Saren who were waiting and talking to one another and nearby chewing on some gum was Seviper.

At a train station, people and aliens were walking around along with Angels to guide them or even chat with them.

Serenity walked by everyone with a smile and wave and entered a train.

The train was of Alexandrian design and like any model, ran off steam and natural power.

The train blew its whistle and left the station heading off.

The train tracks would end but with floating sparkles of light that would guide the train down toward the land far below.

Serenity looked out the window with a smile on her face, the sun was already set and the night sky was lit by the endless stars and the close moon.

A couple of hours later, the train re-attached to some tracks that were on a thin bridge over the ocean.

There was a city that sat on a large structure that was a part of the bridge.

The city was called, Mare Pontem.

The train made a stop and Serenity looked out the window with a smile on her face to seeing how lively it was.

Walking up to the train was Umi-Taka and Law and the three began to chat for a moment.

On the small beach was Kisame, Emilou, Guzma, Vitani, Yoshi, Turn, and Koraru.

The group was sitting around a campfire on the beach with a few surfboards behind them.

On a busy street, Decorus and Tali were eating outside on a bench and laughing about something.

Walking by giving them a wave was Yukio and Riruka.

The pair was holding hands talking about something and was greeted by Milque who wanted to show them something nearby.

Inside of a clinic was The Doctor who was patching up a kid while talking to his mother.

Passing them was Ryuken who was carrying a box of bandages and potions and placed them in the back room.

In the alleyway in the back climbing up some catwalks were Brandon and Mallet who were up to racing.

On a roof overlooking the bridge city was The Plague Doctor and he noticed the train passing by and gave a wave as he noticed it was Serenity inside.

The roof he was standing on was a restaurant and inside eating was Mawile, Saix, Fuka, and Sawarineko.

They was chatting and outside the window across the street sitting waiting for a bus was Gregar who was on his phone chatting with someone.

Echidna walked up to Gregar and sat beside him and the two began to chat amongst themselves as they waited for the bus.

On the other side of the city, Elsa was sitting on her bed reading while the apartment room above her was Ulquiorra who was already asleep.

Standing at the train station was Piper who was playing her flute for pedestrians.

Watching her amongst the crowd was Mareanie and Calphayus.

The train whistled and left the station and as it did she saw Kariya who waved at her as the train passed by.

The train traveled across the ocean for three hours before entering a new land, over a cliff, and into a tunnel before coming out through a forest.

The forest had very tall tree’s that the train tracks levitated in between.

The ground was far down below covered in mist.

The animals down there was all living in harmony, predators and herbivore’s stomachs were constantly full and never hungry making them able to co-exist.

One of the animals was her Allosaurus and he was being taken care of by JoAnn for Serenity.

The train was heading toward what looked like lights within the tree limbs but it was in fact tree houses circling around trees and bridges connecting to different trees.

The city was made within the tree branches and tall stumps, a treehouse city of sorts.

The city was called, Saltus.

The train passed by a tree home and inside sleeping was Baraggan who instantly woke up when the train whistled grumbling about it before falling back to sleep.

Walking across a bridge over the train tracks was Scourge and Iris.

The two were talking to one another while holding hands and they both noticed a small airship fly by and waved at it.

On the airship were Gnost-Dural, NahNahNah, and Casarai and they noticed them wave at them and they waved back before talking amongst themselves while waiting to reach their destination.

Walking on a bridge up to a platform was Roald who just sighed as acorns fell on his head.

Approaching him was Le’roach who handed him a tiny umbrella and laughed.

In a tree home overlooking part of the treehouse city were Severity and Neopolitan, the two of them asleep in bed.

Down from their tree home was another tree home and inside of it was Spooky who was playing the same video game that Tomoko was playing earlier and sitting on the couch behind her was Eruka and Amai while they watched her play and cheering her on.

Nearby at a bird shop was Bestia who was cleaning up her shop with Dunnen’ebe helping her.

Outside of the shop walking by was Guthix who smiled looking at some squirrel creatures scatter away as he approached.

Sabo and Kirrahe noticed the squirrels and walked in different directions giving one another a wave as they finished chatting about something.

The train halted to unload and load in passengers.

At the train station walking over to the window Serenity was at was both Hidan and Harribel, the two of them chatted with Serenity for a moment.

Nearby sitting and sipping some tea was Mike while he was watching Sinkow throwing darts along with two other people.

Down at a bakery shop, Furido was speaking to Lexaeus, Chayd, and Dreekmy about something, and walking over to greet them with a basket filled with pastry’s was Yoshino and the group talked while picking them out.

The train whistle blew and it began to depart again.

Down the track leaning on a railing watching some kids play was Zayne and Jarael and both were talking amongst themselves about something and saw the train giving it a wave before going back to their discussion.

Serenity looked back out the window and saw Mismagius and Ignis carrying a box of books to a nearby bookstore that Mismagius owned.

Mismagius and Ignis gave Serenity a firm nod while they had to hold the box of books and Serenity gave them a salute with a wink.

The train suddenly hovered over a calm quiet lake, the only movement from the lake was the small waves that the fish were making.

The train entered another cave and after an hour came out the other side over a ravine, and it stopped at a station which was connected to one part of the ravine walls.

The ravine below was a city attached to both sides and with bridges connecting them and airships traveling through.

The ravine city was called, Cordis Abyssi.

Down below at the river that went through the ravine was Marik and Bakura.

Marik was trying to find gold which would never happen while Bakura was complaining about how it was a waste of time.

Zaeed was sitting on a lawn chair nearby and just shook his head as he heard them complaining.

The two noticed a small Alexandrian boat come in and Aldsan and Xaldin who were amused at what they were doing and began to chat with them.

An elevator that took people to different floors of the ravine city opened and walking out was Kaiden and Lopunny, the two of them holding hands while listening to Nnoitra who seemed to be talking non-stop about something.

Across the ravine in a home was Nishio and Karura, both were sleeping and when the alarm clock went off, Karura grabbed it and threw it out the window.

The clock fell on a pile of a few other clocks and seeing it fall was Okami and Grenn who just smirked knowing Karura did it and carried on their job having to walk around the mess.

Bella and Ric walked on one of the large bridges’ looking at the construction of some more flower vases on the sides.

Helping build these vases was Sayid, L’aera, and Ayame.

An airship flew down to land and unload passengers and two passengers coming off was Brontes and Ironmouse.

Walking by them giving them a wave to go into the airship was Sion and Banette.

At the train station, Ian and Durocidia approached the window Serenity was looking out of and she opened it and began to chat with them.

Climbing the ravine with climbing gear was a group of students and Deidara was telling them about which rock to hook onto first.

In the group was Maes and Utagawa and the two of them were nervous and sweating as they realized how high they was.

At a cafe just beside them attached to the ravine wall was Maya cheering them on.

Inside of an antique shop looking at old stuff was Python and Anaconda and the two were commenting on the items and what year and galaxy they belonged too in the past life.

Jacob was walking by outside and heard the train whistle and looked up.

The train began to depart and Shen was at the station watching it go by and gave a wave to Serenity as he saw her and she waved back.

Chapter 18: A New Eternity (Part 2)

The train headed toward an active but not threatening Volcano and coming from the top down to the base of the volcano was a city that had bridges that went over rivers of lava which were spread everywhere coming from the top of the Volcano.

The lava city was called, Lava Cessabit.

The King Black Dragon flew by with a few other Dragons following him.

At the top of the Volcano, magma beasts were sleeping in the lava while Barla Von and Kai-Leng were watching them.

Down the stairs from the top of the Volcano was Luke who was texting and approaching him was Axel and the two began to chat about something.

Nearby at some small homes was Fudo and Fuen looking at the dragons flying over.

Shunsui came out of his home next to theirs and watched as the dragons was putting on an airshow.

The train stopped at the station and Serenity watched from the window.

Kylo and Zinnia walked over to the window and began to chat with her while looking at the sky.

Nearby cleaning the train station was Vegapunk and behind him was a group of people exiting the train and one of them being Havoc who took a deep breath and grinned looking at the Volcano.

Coming up to greet him was Nihl and the two headed off to the Volcano together.

They passed by Cinderace with a wave and she waved back before going back to exercising.

Off at a shop was Raven who was cutting up some meat.

There was a dead goat on the meat cutting table with a living goat beside him, the animals would just come back after being killed and thus, an unlimited supply of food.

Leaving with some meat with Raven Penumbra who waved goodbye to him.

Entering his shop was Marie and Shaula who chatted with him while looking at the fresh meat for sale.

Inside of another home next to a lavafall was Vulpix and Noctis and both were sitting watching TV together.

At the other side of the lavafall, Tyrans was checking it and looking at a geothermal pump system to make sure it was working properly.

Approaching him was three people and Kugo who scattered to other pumps to make sure they was okay.

In a supermarket, a few people was shopping, some being Kai-Leng, Xigbar, and Grimmjow.

Working at the register was Ugaki.

Ugaki looked out the window a moment and saw Noi and Vern walking by outside somewhere.

The train whistle blew and it moved on again.

Standing at the train station was Hatenko and Vowrawn and the two waved at Serenity who waved back at them as she went by.

The train passed by through the mountains and after an hour it started to snow and eventually she saw a small city in the snowy mountain valley nearby.

The city was called, Frigus.

The train passed by some kids having a snowball fight.

There was a snowball tournament and amongst them was Froslass, Drechimaru, Oleg, Aaroniero, Ho, Ban, Zexion, and Xayah.

Serenity waved but they didn’t notice as everyone was busy throwing snowballs and hiding behind snow mounds.

The train stopped at the station and walking up to her window was Fern and Desolate and the two began to chat with her while Fern made some nasty joke and Desolate having to whack his head making Serenity chuckle.

Far off in the town was a tall dome tower was where the mayor lived, which was Pain.

Pain and Konan were sitting at their desk doing paperwork together and walking in to visit them was Primarina who held a gift box for them.

Sitting in a cottage in the city was Medusa and Urashiki both cuddled up in a blanket looking at the fireplace together.

Outside on the street walking by was Marshall who turned his head to see some kids run by to head to the snowball tournament.

Amongst the kids were a few adults who wanted to join in and with them was Yuno and Taliyo.

A few streets away, Nicklaus was reading the newspaper taking a sip of coffee only to be hit by a snowball from Hux and in turn, he made a bigger snowball and hit Hux with it making him fall back into the snow.

In a gym, Roland was teaching a class of people how to bodybuild and while he picked up a weight his back popped making everyone laugh.

Tsubaki chuckled running up to him to help him sit down in a chair while Nadia walked up with some potion to help him.

Off in a library, Zaeer was stacking books while talking with Raptus who was nearby organizing some books for her.

At the snowfield watching the snowball fight was Anderson and he was keeping the score for everyone.

Drakan and Caeruleo walked up to watch the tournament.

In the sky was two airships and on one of them was Arentei who was recording the tournament while Loona was speaking on a microphone looking at the camera as a reporter for the tournament.

The train whistle blew and it departed the station.

Serenity saw Jenkins sitting on a bench waving at her and she waved back.

A couple of hours later, the train was now in a forest and there were cottages starting to appear, and eventually the train stopped at a station.

The city was filled with cottages at the base of trees.

The city was called, Domito Natura.

Serenity stepped out of the train and over to a snack machine to get something to eat.

Approaching her was Ardyn and Gratia and the three of them talked while she waited on the train to be ready to depart again.

Walking on the street nearby was Nen who noticed the nearby outside tent market open to the public.

At the market, Seroroon was selling some food, and approaching him was Lily, Noxious, Kurumi, and Ymir to ask what he had available.

Elsewhere in the market, Yammy was wearing sunglasses and flexing his muscles.

He was trying to look cool to impress some women walking by and on his shoulder was Dengakuman who was also wearing sunglasses.

Marluxia shook his head walking up to him and gave them advice on how to attract women.

A group of children ran by and headed to an animal petting pen where Mr. Hoshigaki was servicing.

Watching him with a deadpan stare was Monica who knew to keep an eye on him around the animals.

Up in the trees, Aruriania, Mightyena, and Sazuki were jumping from tree branch to tree branch with their wolves following.

As they were training they noticed Jolee and Ken’shiro training with some wooden swords on a large branch and decided to take a break and watch them.

Back at the train station, Ardyn and Gratia waved at Serenity walking off and they walked into Lily and Cain giving them a quick wave before having to head to an appointment.

Approaching Serenity was Mangle, Zarbon, Prompto, Demyx, and Hans.

Mangle created her own small gang and she and them spoke to Serenity for a moment.

Far off in the forest by a river, Neeko was teaching Jarun Tann how to fish with just a spear.

Manifesting out of a tree beside them was Zetsu which scared both of them making them fall into the river.

Bossk who was nearby just sighed and helped them out of the river.

The train whistle blew and Serenity headed back in waving at Mangle and the others.

Approaching Mangle was Absol who was ready to show Mangle and the others to the market.

As the train left the station, Serenity sat down and looked out the window just in time to see Thane waving at her from a sidewalk beside the station and she waved back at him.

The train left the forest and went by an endless pasture of grass and some animals eating from the grass or just galloping through the pasture.

The train drove off a cliff and followed the same floating lights that guided it to a new track into a narrow valley with a huge river through it, and in the distance was a Kingdom that rested on the river, and a large castle that was at the edge of a massive waterfall.

The waterfall city was called, New Varrock.

Before entering the town was a large field of crops.

Thanos was helping plant some seeds with Jairiubix, Somnus, and Kento.

Beside the field of crops was four large barns and one big mansion where the owners lived.

The owners were, Norman and Beverly and both of them were talking to a few workers and a pig ran by knocking Norman into some mud and he began to curse at the pig.

The train went through the busy town toward the nearby train station.

Looking at the train go by was Roxas and Larxene who were sitting on a bench together.

Approaching them was Ryu and Kiyoko who were holding their newborn baby and the four began to chat.

The train stopped at the station and Serenity waited again while looking out the window.

In one of the homes, Garrus was working out and Mira came in and kissed his cheek before working out with him.

In another home, Shiroi, Nanama, and Gold Saw were visiting with one another and talking about something.

In the main street, Arachne was selling some jewelry to a few people.

Across from her stall was Mabashi who was selling small flower-like beings that were pets for some people.

Down the street in a cafe was Qrow and Maychiro while being served by Umbreon and Samantha who owned the cafe.

Walking through the main street in front of the castle gates were many people, amongst them was Cyan, Shiroi, Melody, Delphox, and Valentino.

Inside the castle was a portrait of Aizen who was the King of New Varrock.

However, he wasn’t there and Tousen and Starrk were the two left in charge and both were playing chess.

Watching them was Monoxide and outside looking in through the window was Alexander.

The train whistled and began to depart the station.

Waving at Serenity was a group of Otters and one of them was Charlie.

Serenity smiled and waved back at them.

The train traveled for another hour before entering a desert land.

The train passed a marijuana shack and sitting on the porch was Snoop who waved at the train as it went by.

Escorpia was helping him with his weed and looked at upcoming customers and went over to talk to them.

The train headed to another city which was beside an oasis.

The city was called, Harenae Maris.

The train passed part of the oasis and sitting in the water relaxing was Junko and Mukuro.

The train entered the station and Serenity opened the window to get some air in.

Approaching her from outside was Espeon and Adam and the three began to chat.

Inside a clay home, Zommari, Lamar, Luxord, Rakuza, and Kenny were playing poker while listening to music.

Outside selling clay pots was Minow who was met by Marie handing him some money for a pot.

Under some shade, Styrak was speaking to Demencia and Pendrak.

The three of them saw Chan and En walk by and waved at them while they waved back and entered a hair salon where Tsareena was tending to a client.

At the train station, Espeon and Adam finished their conversation with Serenity, and walking up to the window next was Javik.

Serenity and Javik spoke for a moment and then Javik held his hand to shake Serenity’s and the two finally shook hands with firm nods to one another.

Nearby at the main part of the oasis, Ringo and Cyclonis were under a makeshift waterfall to get some cool water on their bodies.

Suddenly they saw a shadow and Gohah jumped and landed a cannonball which knocked them away.

The wave of water went onto the shore and washed over Mark, Xemnas, Sawatari, and Xemnas.

Nearby, Wrex and Madara were arm wrestling with Grell cheering Madara on while flirting with him making Madara angry.

Sasori was working inside of an art studio and painted something and turned it around to show a group of people who clapped and began to bid for it.

Brute Justice crashed inside and held up a sign that said one million which Sasori immediately said sold.

The train whistle blew and began to leave the station.

Serenity looked out the window again and saw Revan waving at her from the station.

Serenity waved back and sat back down.

The train headed off toward the sunset in the distance, Serenity was headed to her final destination…

Chapter 19: The Beautiful End

It was noon at a small beachside town.

Seagulls and seagull-like creatures flew overhead and whales and whale-like creatures were seen in the horizon.

The train pulled up to the small station and Serenity walked out and was greeted by Akechi and a little girl holding his hand.

The little girl had neck-length black hair with red tips along with silver eyes.

“Mommy!” The girl named Ruby Rose Starwalker called out.

“Ruby.” Serenity said kneeling down giving her and Akechi’s daughter a hug.

Akechi walked up and kissed Serenity.

“Ready to head over to your parents?” Akechi asked.

“Yup.” Serenity said with a smile.

“Is there going to be other people at the barbeque?” Ruby asked.

“I’m afraid not. Everyone else has things to do but we will see them all together soon.” Serenity said.

“I hope so, it’s been quite some time since we all got together.” Akechi said with a smile.

The three headed off together with Ruby skipping in between them while holding their hands.

Far north of the town, Dray and Cosmic owned their small beachside cottage along with a small dock nearby for their sailboat.

Their sailboat was coming back toward the dock.

Dray, Gin, and James were preparing food outside with the barbeque while Ken, Eto, and Cosmic were preparing food inside in the kitchen with the window open.

“I see they are coming back from sailing.” Dray said.

On the sailboat, Stolas was steering.

Behind him was Octavia, Shinobu, Akira, Makoto, Mordin, Hide, Aizen, and Jessica who were either sitting or standing looking out at sea or inland.

At the moment the sailboat docked, Serenity, Akechi, and Ruby came up.

“Hey, dad.” Serenity said.

Dray smiled and gave her a hug.

“Good to take a break from building up civilization.” Serenity told him.

“Look at all the progress we made through a thousand years.” James said.

“Grandpa!” Ruby shouted running up after hugging Cosmic.

Dray knelt down and hugged her picking her up and placing her over his shoulder.

“Oh, I see you grew a foot tall since I last saw you.” Dray said.

“Only two inches.” Ruby said.

“Oh?” Dray said chuckling.

Octavia walked up and she and Serenity fist-bumped.

Serenity looked over her shoulder and she looked back to see Stolas fixing up the sailboat.

“Dad, it’s fine, come on!” Octavia called out.

Octavia looked back at Serenity with a shrug.

“He treats that sailboat better than my dad does.” Serenity said.

“He likes to pretend he’s the captain sometimes.” Octavia said.

Serenity noticed Mordin picking up seashells and then approaching with a wave.

“Serenity, greetings.” Mordin said.

“Mordin.” Serenity said.

Mordin walked over to Ruby and gave her the pale of seashells.

“Thank you!” Ruby said admiring them.

“The barbeque is almost ready.” Gin said.

“Sides are almost ready too!” Ken called out.

Aizen, Akira, and James got out tables and chairs and after a few minutes, everyone was sitting, eating, and talking.

“Oh, this is so good! You make the best beef wellington, Cosmic!” Hide said munching down.

“I’m glad you enjoy it.” Cosmic said with a smile.

“Beef wellington in a barbeque?” James asked.

“I forgot to make one five months ago so, I thought why not make it up today.” Cosmic said.

Hide grabbed some ribs and ate it with the wellington.

Ken and Eto just shook there heads with smirks on their faces.

“Dude can sure eat more than I could.” James said.

“What’s your favorite food?” Octavia asked Akechi.

“Blueberry pancakes with a few cut banana’s on top and of course, syrup.” Akechi said.

“Nothing beats bacon.” Serenity added.

“That’s my girl!” Dray said.

“Whatever happened to the traditional peanut butter and jelly sandwiches?” Akira asked.

“New traditions probably.” Aizen said.

“You two are stuck in old traditions of the past.” James said.

“Sometimes old traditions always come back, you never know it might be peanut butter and jelly to return.” Akira said.

“What about Peanut butter, Jelly, and bacon sandwiches?” Makoto asked.

“Never combine bacon with Peanut butter and jelly.” Serenity said.

“It’s the one rule in the book.” Octavia said.

“Bacon does compliment pancakes at least.” Akechi said.

“That it does.” Serenity said.

“What does a God eat?” Shinobu asked Akira.

“I bet eggs.” Octavia said.

“Not too different from everyone else. I like to try new things.” Akira said.

“Our kids encourage him to try some of their foods that they make.” Makoto said.

“Ten out of ten, always.” Akira said.

“Maybe I can try to cook.” Shinobu said.

“N-not in my kitchen.” Dray said.

Shinobu just smirked.

“He’s scared you’re going to burn down the kitchen.” Aizen said.

“Yes.” Dray replied.

“I remember when I burned down the kitchen once.” Serenity said.

“And we never talk about it since!” Dray said.

“You never taught them to cook is why.” Cosmic said.

“You never taught them to cook?” Makoto asked.

“I was a busy guy so we ordered take out and delivery.” Dray said.

“All the time?” Makoto asked.

“No… yes.” Dray said.

Everyone chuckled at his change of answer.

“This is some good barbeque ribs.” Ken said.

“Yeah, they are!” Hide said already on his fifth plate of ribs.

“I’m glad you like it, I bought it at the market yesterday and seasoned it and put it in the fridge to marinate.” Dray said.

“Remember when we used to eat raw meat?” Serenity asked.

“That stupid curse.” Dray sighed.

“Mangle tried to go back on that diet but threw up.” Serenity said.

“Of course she tried.” Mordin sighed.

“We eat mice sometimes.” Stolas said.

“Ew.” Gin said.

“With black beans and string pasta.” Octavia added.

“Even more ew.” Gin said.

“You can never go wrong with the black beans.” Stolas said.

“I guess I can say a complicated ew?” Gin asked.

Stolas just shrugged.

“You can get a pass with a complicated ew.” Octavia said.

“It seems complicated just by thinking it.” Eto said.

“Will everyone else be with us on Christmas?” Ruby asked.

“Of course dear.” Jessica said with a smile.

“I sure hope so, it’s been five months since we were all last together.” Akechi said.

“That’s a long time?” Dray asked.

“Is to me.” Akechi said.

“Grandpa Qrow still needs to teach me something called a bird and a bee-” Ruby began to say.

Dray burst out laughing.

“No!” Serenity and Akechi shouted.

“Huh?” Ruby asked.

“D-don’t worry about it.” Akechi said.

“Ooo may I teach her?” Stolas asked.

“I’d rather it be Qrow to tell her, no offense.” Serenity said.

Stolas just sighed.

After a few minutes of conversation, Cosmic tapped on her glass with a spoon.

“You know, I am glad we are all here. And I don’t mean just us right here but everyone, every single living soul.” Cosmic said.

Everyone nodded.

“You know what, no one ended up in hell.” Eto said.

“That’s because hell is gone.” Makoto said.

“Everyone was given a second chance, and every single soul took it for freedom, and for pure happiness. The only one to disappear forever was Tenebris.” Akira said.

“It just proves that not everyone is born evil and everyone has hope in their spirits.” Gin said.

“We had a strange but cool adventure in our lives.” Hide said.

“We sure came a long way with our many adventures.” Ken said.

“We all had quite the stories of our past lives.” Aizen said.

“Friends we made along the way, enemies that we later made along the way.” Mordin said.

“And we will continue having adventures.” Serenity added.

“We proved something, we proved that no matter what, good triumphs over evil, and there is no more evil.” Jessica said.

“Eternal peace, I promise.” Akira said.

“You better.” Makoto said nudging him with a wink.

“Heh.” Akira chuckled and kissed her cheek.

“So how big is this planet?” Eto asked.

“Yes.” Akira simply replied.

Eto didn’t know what to say.

“Good enough for me.” James said.

Everyone laughed.

“I wish I could live nearby to help you guys but we enjoy Regnum Coeleste.” Stolas said.

“That and we live near a gym and he can watch the men work out.” Octavia chuckled.

“No regrets!” Stolas said with his finger up.

“A life without regrets is a life worth living as the saying goes.” Aizen said.

“What about the men coming in from the ocean, all wet and laying to dry on the sand on the beach?” Serenity asked.

“Don’t give him idea’s!” Dray and Octavia shouted.

“I may think of moving here.” Stolas said with a wide grin on his face.

Octavia facepalmed.

Dray just sunk low.

Everyone else found it amusing.

“So dad, I and Akechi were thinking that perhaps we could relocate to the town nearby.” Serenity said.

“For real!?” Dray asked surprised.

“Yeah.” Serenity said.

“If that is okay with you.” Akechi said.

“I’d be happy to have my kids live near us.” Dray said with a smile.

“Want us to pay for the relocation?” Cosmic asked.

“I will cover it.” Akira said.

“Yay!” Ruby cheered.

“Then it’s settled then.” Akechi said and put his arm around Serenity while she did the same to him.

James suddenly heard his favorite song on the radio nearby.

“That’s my jam!” James said getting up and starting to dance.

Everyone looked at him awkwardly.

Hide noticed the music playing.

“Electro-swing?” Hide asked.

“Hell yeah, bro!” James said.

“Come on, let’s show him how to dance.” Jessica said to Aizen.

The two of them got up and so did Dray and Cosmic to dance.

“Don’t need to brag but I’m pretty rad at dancing.” Serenity said to them.

Soon everyone got up and danced with him and have a good time for the rest of the day.

Later that night it was a little after midnight.

Everyone was already gone, left to head back home and it was just Dray and Cosmic left in their cottage.

Both of them was laying in bed together looking at the stars through their clear dome ceiling.

“What a life.” Dray said.

“An adventurous and wonderful life.” Cosmic added.

Dray made a whistling sound and smiled.

Cosmic laid on his shoulder and nuzzled up against his neck.

“Now we just live for eternity. Together.” Cosmic said.

“I wouldn’t have it any other way.” Dray said.

“You know something, it feels like everything that has transpired began with… you and then me?” Cosmic asked.

“What do you mean?” Dray asked.

“I just have this odd feeling is all, how our actions started all of this. I don’t mean it in a bad way, not at all. It’s just that feeling.” Cosmic said.

Dray nodded.

“I can agree. If we never met, we wouldn’t have had Serenity.” Dray said.

“And if we didn’t have Serenity then…” Cosmic began to say

Dray poked her nose with his.

“Let’s not overthink this.” Dray said.

Cosmic smiled with a blush and poked his nose back with her own.

“All I can say is, this was a wonderful story.” Cosmic said.

The two of them looked at one another and then kissed each other for a few seconds.

“I love you.” Dray said.

“I love you too.” Cosmic said.

Cosmic pulled the covers up over them and closed her eyes to sleep.

Dray’s eyes was still open as he looked at the stars for a moment.

Dray saw everything that transpired, first from when he met Cosmic, to having Serenity, to have quite the adventure with his family and friends. To remember what Aizen told him of his adventures throughout Gielinor with his friends. To Ken and Eto’s adventures with their friends. And finally to Akira and his adventures with Makoto.

Then he remembered their battle for freedom against Tenebris and then he snapped back to reality.

“A wonderful story indeed.” Dray said.

Dray closed his eyes.

~Special Thanks~

Thank you to everyone who supported me through thin and thick fog and being my lantern along the way.

~Fanfic Stories I Own~

1; Cosmic Divine Crystalline, 2; Rising Breakdown Sphere, 3; The Crumbling Orb, 4; Prelude To Movie, 5; The Rising Divine Orb

Along with all the short stories that go with the episodes of each storyline.

~Final words from me the Author~

Thank you all so much for your support and thank you to those that criticized my work to help me improve it.

Thank you especially to my best friend, Leslie. You helped me out and inspired me to create this story and finally, it has an ending.

These stories are based on things that have happened and have not happened in real life. An example is the Rising Breakdown Sphere story which takes place in Gielinor which is based in Runescape, those are semi-copies of my Runescape days that I wanted to bring into the story with some additions added into it.

I wanted to make these story sagas like the ones in Star Wars but there are four sagas that all relate to the ‘orb’ which is based on the Hogyoku in the anime, Bleach. The story titles all have to do with it which later reveals to be the true evil of the entire universe I created and thus they are all connected into the same fanfic universe I created.

The fanfic universe is a cross-over of many genre’s and some people may like it and some may not, it isn’t for everyone. For those that stuck to read them, thank you so much. Your support means a lot to me.

This is going to be the last of my work, probably for a long while. It started with Cosmic Divine Crystalline Episode I on May 1st of 2016 and now ends on May 1st of 2021. Five years which is amazing to me how long I worked on this.

Anyway, I’m not really good at speeches so I’ll leave you with this, thank you, God bless, and remember your life has meaning. Don’t let people tell you otherwise, you have a meaning in life, everyone does. Just like the characters in my story having a destiny, you too have a destiny. Make it a good one. Oh, and like any good story, there should be an after-credits scene.

Love you all.

One Million Years Later…

A young man and a younger girl were sitting together on the steps of some building in the middle of the ocean. It was night, and they were looking at the endless dark-blue sky of blue stars and a blue-looking milky-way.

The young man was finishing telling her all of the stories.

“Did that all really happen?” The girl asked.

“Yes, their stories happened a very long time ago.” The young man said.

“So are they alive amongst us?” The girl asked.

“In our hearts, yes.” The young man said.

“Are there other stories before our eternal heaven?” The girl asked.

“See those stars? Every star has a story, and everyone who lives amongst those stars has a story. Every living organism has a story.” The young man said.

“It’s so amazing.” The girl said.

“Life is amazing.” The young man said.

“Can you tell me another story?” The girl asked.

“Okay.” The young man said.

The two looked back at the stars and begin another story.

~The End~
