Hey everyone! And welcome to the next instalment of the Mobius Z series! (2 months late...)
Anywho! A lot of work has gone into this Chapter to get it completed. This Chapter alone went through 3 separate re-works as I honestly had no idea what to write for it. I had the basic premise and the things that had to be said and done in this Chapter, but I really didn't know how to go about it. Eventually, I managed to get it finished, and whilst I think it has a quite fast and possibly rushed pace, I think it makes up for it with the actual content and little character interactions.
Just a heads-up; the next couple Chapters won't really be coming until around June/July time, as I have my GCSE's for the next month and not much time to actually write. I'll do my best and can possibly guarantee at least one or two Chapters will be released, but not much. Not a problem though! I'm sure you'll enjoy the story anyway! I'll see all of you in the next Chapter, and I hope you enjoy the start of Mobius Z: War on Gods!
30th June, Year 3036…
Days after the battle between Hariko Mangham, Protector of the Universe and newly appointed Super Hybrid God, against Tyrus, the God of Destruction for the 7th Universe and Ender of Galaxies, peace seemed to have bestowed the Universe. Before the God parted back to his place above the mortal realm, he imparted a few bits of wisdom for the Heroes to keep; the first of those being that a tournament between the 7th and the 6th Universe was quickly approaching, and that Tyrus wanted members of the Freedom Fighters to be part of his team. This, accompanied by the fact there was apparently ways for the rest of the group to reach their own godly levels of power, inspired the group to begin training once more.
One of the members who was capable of reaching such a godly level was the robotic warrior of the Freedom Fighters and the accepted member of the Mangham family, Dracton, who was revealed to actually be an alien from a machine like species known as the Eirianrobotto race. They too had a god legend roaming among their people, and so, eager to learn about his own people and possibly attain this godly level, the machine set off with the Guardian God, Ujun, to his home Planet of Eirian to get some answers…
East quadrant of the Galaxy, Planet Eirian…
…despite what most would think, Eirian seemed to be like any other Planet. There were trees and forests, beaches and oceans, wastelands and mountains, all that would be found on any ordinary Planet. Of course, being the Planet of a machine-like race, it was all too obvious that their places of civilisation and living were like cities of the future from sci-fi films and novels. The buildings all had unique shapes and designs, some parts of the cities floated off the ground with no explainable reason, and there were even some towers that stretched as high as the clouds. The image of his home Planet wasn't far from what Dracton had originally pictured it, and so he was mildly satisfied knowing he had some kind of memory of his old home and people.
Speaking of his people, he noticed that all of them were almost identical to him in every way, except for the fact that almost everyone had an individual colour. It was like there were a bunch of clones of him, only instead of green and black they could be yellow and red, blue and purple, and so on and so forth. He also noticed that his race seemed to have females, as there were clones of himself with female proportions and sizes.
When he had strolled through the streets of the capital, it was just like he was back on Mobius. There were crowds of people walking about and going about their everyday lives, some doing jobs commonly found on the streets like taxi services for those that couldn't fly or hadn't bothered to learn, food vendors which surprised the robot since he'd never found himself really needing to eat, and even shoe shines for what seemed to be the upper-class of his people, as they wore clothes that looked like those worn by the royalty of Mobius. Just the mere prospect of fashion especially surprised Dracton since he'd never had a reason to wear clothes.
Of course, ever since he began his training to become the Eirianrobotto God, he hadn't seen much of his people. He had met a man by the name Loxcaton, an old warrior much like himself, though much older. It was from him that Dracton had learnt he had an extremely long lifespan, seen as Loxcaton was over 2000 years old. He had been the one to send Dracton to Mobius when Eirian had erupted in civil war, a war which took both of their families. It was Loxcaton who had explained Dracton was always destined to be a great warrior and one day take the role as the Eirianrobotto God to keep their people safe, but in order to ensure his survival, the young robot had to be sent to Mobius and learn the path of a warrior his own way.
Speaking of his path, one of the things that had been ingrained into the Freedom Fighters systems was that meditation was a great way of increasing his power and heightening his mind, and at a time when he was trying to become a God, a calm mind and great power seemed like good things to have. He sat in one of the wastelands of the Planet, atop one of the many rock formations formed throughout the land. He allowed his body to become so relaxed that he could feel and picture every little bit of movement and life across the Planet in his head whilst he kept his eyes closed and cut off all other senses to everything in his surroundings. Well, almost everything…
"Meditation alone won't allow you to ascend to the level of Gods, my friend…" remarked the voice of the man that had been stood with him for the past 2 hours.
Dracton:"As you love to keep reminding me, Loxcaton…" he chuckled as he opened his eyes and stood back up to face his new friend.
The old warrior was not too different from the machine of Mobius, as the two were almost identical in appearance save for the fact that Loxcaton was orange where Dracton was green, and the elder Eirianrobotto wore a brown hooded cloak that covered all of his body.
Loxcaton:"Just have to be sure you get it in your head"
Dracton:"Well then, old wise one, how about you answer me this; I've done the training to bring my power to the appropriate level, I've practised over and over again to ensure that my combat skills are higher than they've ever been, and I've constantly been maintaining a sound mind and body to ensure I am ready to handle the level of Gods. Now, what do I have to do to ascend into the Eirianrobotto God?"
Loxcaton:"Do you remember the story you told me of your ally Hariko? When you and some of your team went to Planet Agar in order to fend off the feared Kelriza?"
Dracton:"I do"
Loxcaton:"You explained to me that he ascended to the level known as 'Super Hybrid' because he had a need for such power. In order for you to become the Eirianrobotto God, you need a reason for that power to be brought out"
Dracton:"But I do have a reason. I need to protect my people and the Universe from any evils that should threaten it!"
Loxcaton:"But what evils are there to threaten the peace you and your allies have brought the Universe? There is no enemy for you to fight. There is no evil to be vanquished. You currently have no need for the power in you to be brought out. Without an opponent to threaten all you wish to keep safe, there is no way for the Eirianrobotto God in you to be unleashed"
Dracton:"So you're saying that, unless there is something that could threaten the peace of the Universe, there is currently no way for me to become the Eirianrobotto God?"
Loxcaton:"Exactly. And considering, like I mentioned before, you and your allies have finally brought this Universe peace, it doesn't look like there's a need for you to become the Eirianrobotto God"
Dracton:"Well…that's a massive kick in the neck…"
Loxcaton:"Do not fret, my friend. I am sure we'll find you a way to ascend to the level of Gods. In the meantime, why don't we relax? Your power has already grown far greater than anything you could've reached on your own, and you've reached a level of KI control that previously wouldn't be thought possible for warriors like ourselves. You've worked extremely hard to reach this point, so it's time you kick your feet up for a bit. Connect with the people you wish to protect"
Dracton:"Suppose it couldn't hurt…"
Loxcaton:"Come. A royal friend of mine is holding a party atop his skyscraper. Let us join in the festivities" he stated as he slowly began to hover into the air.
Dracton:"I don't see why not…" he remarked as he joined his mentor in the skies before they took off across the Planet.
"…in hindsight, it might not be a bad thing not becoming the Eirianrobotto God. After all, what need is there to become a protector of the Universe…"
"…when the Universe doesn't need protecting?"
Elsewhere, in the furthest depths of the Universe where no life resided…
…something people, not even the God of Destruction or the Guardian God, didn't realise during the battle between Tyrus and the Super Hybrid God was that the struggle of power between two Gods created waves of power that echoed and washed over the entire Universe like a roaring tidal wave, and whilst these waves didn't exactly destroy or harm anything in the galaxy due to most of the power of the waves being contained for use in the actual battle, they did cause the very foundations of galaxies and Planets to shake and shatter by the slightest bit.
However, it wasn't just galaxies that they shook…
…in the pitch black void that was space, a red gem the size of a moon slowly drifted across the starless land of the distant Universe. This gem was shaped in a very certain manner, being identical of that to the Chaos Emeralds and the Master Emerald of Mobius, only its size and the power it contained utterly dwarfed those items. The purpose these gems served was different as well, though that is a secret that shall be revealed at a later date. What can be revealed is what was happening to it at this moment.
The waves of power produced from the Battle of Gods had finally reached this gigantic gem, and just like it had done to many foundations before it, a small part on the surface of the Emerald shattered and cracked ever so slightly, revealing the outline of a figure. This figure twitched and stirred for a moment, right before, in an instant, its right fist burst through the wall of crystal before it and tasted the freedom of the open space. After much struggling, the figure managed to pry its body free of the Emerald without completely destroying it, and after stretching out all his limbs, including his two beautiful angel-like wings, to enjoy the amazing feeling of being free once again, he slowly began to inspect his body and surroundings.
"I'm…free? It's been so long since I've been able to move freely! Wait a moment…" he stated before he turned back to his previous imprisonment.
At the very centre of the partially shattered Gem, a red glowing light could be seen emitting from somewhere in the Emerald, and it glowed with such a sheer intensity and brightness it was like looking at a miniature star.
"…my true essence and power still resides in the Emerald…yet my physical body and power has allowed me to escape along with the help of those shockwaves…no doubt my allies have been able to perform a similar feat…when my comrades and I take the 12 Universes for ourselves, we should thank the God of Destruction by destroying him personally…speaking of my comrades, I should make contact…" he stated before he placed his left index and middle finger to the side of his forehead.
"Hello? Can anyone hear me?"
"I read you, old friend. It's a pleasure to hear your voice once more" remarked a very calm and eloquent voice.
"I'm here as well. Does this mean the prophecy is close to approaching?" spoke a more demonic and monstrous voice.
"Indeed it does. Despite the waves of power and how much our own power has grown, we are not yet at full strength" spoke the winged figure, as the cycle of who spoke repeated as such.
"I noticed as well. Must be due to our imprisonment for so many years"
"I don't particularly care. The only thing that concerns me is accomplishing my own goals for the destruction of the 12 Universes"
"Calm yourself, old friend. We cannot yet make a move until we regain our full strength"
"He's right, unfortunately. Besides, at our current strength, we wouldn't really stand a chance against the protectors of this Universe"
"Who? The Warriors of Mobius? I will crush them at the first opportunity"
"Not necessarily. The strongest amongst them-Hariko Mangham-has recently ascended to Godly levels himself. He was able to match the God of Destruction in combat. It would not be wise to take them on until we can match such a level"
"From what I can see, some of them aren't at such a level yet. We could wait a small while for our power to grow, then annihilate them one by one whilst they aren't at our level"
"A cunning plan, and from what I can sense, one of them is alone"
"The machine, Dracton, has gone to his home Planet to learn of some God legacy"
"At this rate, he'll ascend to Godly levels as well, and we'll have another obstacle in our path"
"Honosenshi, you are the closet to Dracton. You must take him out before he learns how to ascend to Godly levels"
"Do not worry, old friend. I will take time to let my strength to grow slightly, right before I take him out with no contest…!"
Later, on Planet Eirian…
…in the capital city of Eirian, atop one of the highest skyscrapers of the city, Dracton stood looking over the view of his Planet, ever occasionally sipping some of the liquid in his glass that had been provided for this gathering. He had to admit; it wasn't half bad eating and drinking. He rather regretted not doing it as often on Mobius. Still, despite all the happiness he could find from actually having a people and Planet to call his own, he still found himself feeling down. It must have been that evident on his face, as even whilst he had his back to the party and was facing the horizon, Loxcaton managed to sense how he was feeling and came over to change his attitude.
Loxcaton:"You must lighten up, my friend…" he started as he almost stumbled over to the balcony and took his place by the Freedom Fighters side.
"…this is a party! You must relax!"
Dracton:"Sorry. I guess after fighting in so many battles back to back on Mobius, I find it a little hard to loosen up"
Loxcaton:"I suppose you have a point. But still! You should try branching out of your normal path! Do as I told you and connect with the very people you wish to protect" he remarked as he motioned to all the people atop the balcony.
Dracton:"Heh. I guess that's an idea. Talking to them might help me become the Eirianrobotto God"
Loxcaton:"Ah, forget about becoming a God for now. Though, between you and me, if you wish to become a God, perhaps the secret requires a feminine touch. Take that woman over there; Jerisina…" he stated as he pointed towards a group of women at the other end of the platform.
Stood beside the bar were a group of 5 women, 4 of which were equally beautiful in their own right, though the one in the middle stood out the most to Dracton. He swore her beauty was on the level of Gods by itself with how absolutely captivating it was. Her skin was a light turquoise colour whilst her patterns were black, and though she had actual hair like some females of his race did, hers was exquisite and like a work of art. And the way it lightly fell in front of her eyes but did not stop her glistening gems of irises from standing out made the machine blush for the first time in his life.
"…I have talked with her a little, and she's very interested to learn more about you. She says she can show you a power that not even the Eirianrobotto God could match!" he remarked as he nudged the younger warriors arm and gave him a wink.
His interests piqued, the robotic warrior looked back to the woman in question, and felt his circuit's heat up and his blush grow even greater when Jerisina gave him a seductive wink back whilst taking a sip of her drink. Suppose it couldn't hurt to try a few new things among his people, thought the Freedom Fighter as he slowly began to make his way across the party. Unfortunately for Dracton, just like he had learned so many times during his years on Mobius, the battle never truly ends…
…all of a sudden, on the other side of the Planet, a dome-like explosion was triggered with enough force to shake all of Eirian, and grew to the point that the explosion could be seen from miles around like a rising sun. As almost every person took cover to keep themselves protected, Dracton simply stared in disbelief over his guard at the fact someone had dared to attack his Planet. With no time to waste, the machine flared up his aura and took off across the Planet, determined to find any survivors from the explosion.
It didn't take long for the robotic warrior to reach the sight of the explosion just as it died down, and the sight before him horrified him to no end. One of the major cities of Eirian, whilst not completely devastated and destroyed, had been seriously harmed. Several buildings were damaged or partially destroyed, fires were abundant across the land, and there were very few traces of life. From all that Dracton could sense and remember, it seemed 1/100th of the entire 5 million population had survived. How many were uninjured was yet to be found.
The Freedom Fighter landed in the city streets where he managed to find life, and assisted the fellow soldiers of Eirian in helping citizens back on their feet and out of the city before another attack followed. Just as he helped an elderly Eirianrobotto to a solider to get him out of the city, he sensed an attack approaching him from behind, and so span around with unmatched speed before using his right hand to backhand the attack flying into the distance where it exploded and harmed no one. It was this action that revealed the attacker, who now stood atop a huge chunk of destroyed building lying at the other end of the street.
This figure was just slightly taller than Dracton with his height of 6'9, though his angelic wings that stretched from his back seemed to increase his height even more so with their incredible size. Whilst his entire body was naturally black, he was covered in markings and patterns coloured a bright fiery red. These parts included; his muzzle, a line down his neck that connected to his chest and abs, a ring around each of his shoulders, biceps and wrists, a portion of his arm from the bottom of his bicep to his forearm just like the robotic warrior, his inner thighs down to his knees (though not his lower legs due to the slightly bulkier black ring that surrounded his entire leg, his toes, the insides of his long ears, the tips of his quills that were the same star-shape as Dracton's, the lower 75% of his wings, the diamond at the centre of his forehead, and the irises of his menacing eyes.
Dracton:"Would I be wrong in assuming you were the one to cause this devastation to my people?"
"You would not, Dracton Mangham…" shot back the figure with a deep voice.
Dracton:"So, you know my name. How about you return the favour? Who are you and why did you attack us?"
"All you need to know is that my name is Honosenshi, I am an Omega God, and my status as a deity allows me a rule above all mortals like yourselves. Now…" he started, before he flexed and stretched both of his wings, causing his sun-like aura to flare up around his body, right before he thrusted his right arm forwards and pointed his palm towards the machine and other citizens.
"…Die, like the rest of your pathetic species!" he ordered before he fired off a massive blast of red KI.
With lightning fast reflexes that had been honed due to his training on Eirian, the robotic warrior instantly transformed into his Override Form-now even more powerful thanks to his training-right before he took to the skies and began homing in on the winged warrior ahead of him, smacking away the incoming blast on his approach so that it would harm no one. Upon reaching Honosenshi, Dracton front-flipped and tried drop kicking the Omega God, however, right as the Freedom Fighter was about to impact with his opponent, he took to the skies above at speeds the robot had only seen from the Battle of Gods.
Upon flipping into his recovery, the robotic warrior took to the skies after his opponent, and after managing to catch up to the winged warriors position, he clasped both hands above his head and swung them downwards in an attempt to launch the God towards the ground below. However, just like previously, the moment Dracton was about to hit Honosenshi, the Omega God moved fast enough to dodge it at the very last second, right before he appeared directly behind the Overridden machine and launched him down towards the city with a well-placed left sidekick.
With another few front-flips, Dracton managed to bring himself to a halt in mid-air, literally centimetres from hitting a building, and after identifying his opponents location, was quickly forced to teleport out of the way when Honosenshi came crashing down from above and used his right fist to shatter the skyscraper his opponent almost collided with. As the entire structure came tumbling down around him, the winged warrior managed to spot the robotic warrior come flying through it from the other side, and easily managed to catch the machines incoming left punch with his own left palm the moment he launched it.
No matter how hard the Overridden Machine struggled, he found himself unable to overpower the Omega God, almost like he was back in his struggle against Tyrus just a few months ago. However, due to his numerous KI meditations over the years, the machine was able to perceive his opponents power slightly different to his allies, and whilst he could sense this God was hundreds of times stronger than he was, it was almost like some of that strength was…missing or inactive, and even if he went all out, he wouldn't be able to access this missing power.
Just as Dracton was about to ponder more on the subject, he found himself forced forward when Honosenshi tightened his grip on the machines fist and dragged him forward, leaving him perfectly open for the Omegas God to slam his left knee straight into the Overridden Machines stomach with such sheer power that a small beam of light burst out of the Freedom Fighters back from the point his opponents knee connected with his own stomach. Luckily, the beam hadn't pierced his body and left a mark, though the pain the attack brought was not leaving anytime soon.
The literal second he'd finished recovering from such a blow, Honosenshi swung his left arm upwards and uppercutted Dracton's chin with enough power to force his head back at such a speed that it would've snapped if he weren't a machine. Right after the robotic warriors head dropped back to look his opponent dead in the eye, he was struck across the left cheek with a powerful right hook courtesy of the winged warrior, and was followed by a quick left jab that would've forced the air from his lungs if he had any. Still, the strike left the Overridden Machine disoriented, and gave the Omega God all the opportunity he needed to grab the machine by his neck using his right hand, and pick him off his feet before tightening his grip.
"The weakness present in your species disgusts me! You're a disgrace to the rest of the Universe. In order for this Universe to remain strong, your excuse for a race must be exterminated! Have you any last words before I eradicate your entire Planet?" he questioned as he created a ball of fire in his free hand.
Dracton:"Eat…my…DICK!" he exclaimed before he outputted every last bit of power he had and flared up his aura to 3 times its normal size.
With his increased power, the robotic warrior managed to output enough KI to break himself free of the winged warriors grip, and after thrusting his left arm forward and grabbing his wrist with his right hand to stabilise his aim, Dracton yelled "EXPLOSIVE DEMON WAVE!" and unleashed a massive 40 foot tall and wide golden beam of energy that collided with Honosenshi's body, and whilst it didn't actually move the God the longer the machine inputted power into his attack, resulting in him being pushed further and further away as a result, the attack did cause some kind of damage.
The Overridden Machine ceased firing his attack upon returning to the streets of the city, and after he diminished his KI and allowed his body to relax, he immidiently began searching for some sign of his opponent in order to continue the battle. Sure enough, the massive cloud of smoke in the sky created from his attack soon diminished, and revealed an almost unscathed Omega God staring the Freedom Fighter right in the eye despite being miles away from him. The only visible injury the machine could identify on the God was a massive scorch mark across his chest, though he seemed to treat it as nothing more than a mere scratch.
Honosenshi:"Impressive…you managed to irritate me…you seem to have some semblance of strength…still…it won't be enough to save your race's fate!" he stated as he reactivated the fire ball in his hand.
"FLAMES OF ERADICATION!" he exclaimed as he tossed the fire ball towards the machine at speeds of Mach 5.
Reacting on instinct, the robotic warrior launched his arms out to the side like he was a star and screamed at the top of his voice, activating his dormant KI and excelling it to its absolute maximum potential as a massive light blue dome exploded from his body and surrounded the decimated city just as the fire ball was about to hit it. The very second the Flames of Eradication touched the shield, the ball exploded and expanded like a wave of fire that attacked the shield from every angle in an attempt to break through and wipe out what remained and then some. Using every last bit of strength he had, the Freedom Fighter held his ground and kept his shield up as a humungous white light erupted from the wave of fire and consumed nearly a third of the Planet.
When the light finally cleared away, Dracton found himself down on his knees, gasping for air whilst a small trail of blood ran down from his forehead, across his nose and right cheek, and dripped onto the floor in front of him. From the green on his body and how his power had diminished, the machine realised he'd exerted all the KI he had left and was reduced to his normal state, left in no condition to fight after holding back such an attack.
Speaking of which, the robotic warrior slowly raised his head to see if he had been successful in protecting the city and those still trapped within it, and found himself both relieved and horrified to find that, whilst most of the city was still intact, he'd failed in keeping it completely safe. Fires were abundant on nearly every single street corner, buildings had either cracked, shattered, partially broke or all out collapsed, and whilst there was still life present within the area, it was overshadowed by how miniscule that amount was, and how many dead bodies were left scattered about.
One in particular caught the robots eye, especially due to the fact the body was so small. Upon closer inspection after near enough dragging his body across the street, Dracton came to the less than satisfying conclusion that the body belonged to a kid. A mere child, caught in what could only be considered a warzone due to the power at play and the consequences they brought. However, as the machine rolled the boy's body over and picked him up into his arms, the robotic warrior felt his world shatter when he realised that he knew this boy.
When he had first arrived on Eirian and reached the capital, he had been stopped at the gates by some guards. After merely giving him their name, Dracton had been rushed to the centre of the city, where the council that ruled the Planet resided, and was introduced to all of them. And they had bowed to him. Despite having never met him before, each and every one of them greeted him like an old family relative that had been gone or lost for some time. He came to understand why when he had learned he was the one destined to become the Eirianrobotto God from the very start.
The council then took him to the streets and set up a massive parade to welcome him back to his home Planet, and during these celebrations, Dracton had encountered this boy. He had asked the Freedom Fighter of where he'd been all these years, and upon hearing of what adventures the machine had gotten up to on Mobius, the battles he'd fought and the enemies he'd faced, the robotic warrior remembered letting out a light chuckle at how the boy's face just lit up.
The boy then explained how he had read about the legacy and rumours surrounding Dracton, about how he was the one to become the Eirianrobotto God and protect his people from what evil would come their way. The boy had then stated that he would train hard and become a hero just like Dracton before him, and that, someday, he would fight by the Freedom Fighters side to keep both their people and the Universe safe. The boy was 7, and now he was dead.
At this rate, the robotic warrior couldn't help himself as he felt tears run down his eyes, and he attempted to comfort himself as he held the corpse of the child close to his chest in an attempt to protect him from nothing, even though he knew that it was much too late for anything so trivial. If he had had the power of the Eirianrobotto God, he could've saved this child from his fate. He could've stopped Honosenshi with no trouble. He could've killed the God before he could cause any harm to his Planet and People. He could've kept his race safe from this monster. This was why he needed the power. This was what he needed to become the Eirianrobotto God for; to prevent such a thing like this happening. He just couldn't bring it out…
"How pathetic…" remarked that same deep voice from above as the winged warrior landed a few feet behind the machine.
"This just shows why your species must be eradicated. Even a warrior like yourself, who stands up above the rest of his pathetic people, is still too weak to save one of your own. It is a pity, really, but in reality; the boy would've died either way. In a way, you sealed his fate faster by trying to combat me"
That was the last straw, thought the Eirianrobotto as his eyes burst open, and his entire eyes were overtaken and lit up by a massively bright white light. In an instant, an exponentially large and powerful aura of white energy exploded around the Mangham's body as his body ascended to float a few feet off the ground whilst still holding the corpse of the boy. Before long, the white aura that surrounded him exploded into a massive beam of light that ascended into the heavens and stars above, as the Omega God was forced to shield his eyes as Dracton underwent his ascension.
Before long, the winged warrior felt the light die down and vanish, though could still feel an unbelievably powerful presence just a few feet away from him, and it was a presence that held no mortal KI. As Honosenshi dropped his guard, he watched as this blinding white figure, who resonated with Divine KI so great that it even managed to match his own, slowly lowered the body of the dead child to the floor, right before he slowly turned to face the Omega God, and the white light hiding his appearance slowly broke off bit by bit like some mystical rocks. When the rocks of light finally cleared away, the one and only Dracton Mangham was revealed, now with an all new form and power to take on the opponent before him.
This transformation had caused the already towering Dracton to now stand eye to eye with the God before him, as his ascension to the godly realm had increased his height to 6'9, and his build had become ever so slightly bulkier. If you were to compare his new form with his Override transformation, you would notice that they were very similar, but with two major differences; the first being that his arms were not covered by black wall crack-like markings, and that everywhere on his body that was previously blue, was now black, and what was previously black, was now white.
Due to the removal of the wall crack-like markings on his arms, there was now another black ring visible around his shoulders. His previously triple spiked bangs had combined together and formed one single large black and white tipped bang that stretched all the way down to his abs, and, despite their size, they could not hide the machines white sclera'd and black slit pupil eyes that glared at the winged warrior with a vengeance.
Dracton:"For bringing harm to the people of Eirian, you have helped me unlock the power of the legendary Eirianrobotto God Form, and it is with this power that I shall avenge the lives you have taken!"
Honosenshi:"Do not think that just because you have managed to grow as powerful as me that you can defeat me!"
Dracton:"I didn't just grow as powerful as you. I grew beyond your power"
Honosenshi:"We shall see about that!" he exclaimed as he launched forward to attack his opponent.
However, just as the elder God was about to hit the younger God, he instinctively shouted "GOD CONTROL!" before a massive blue light erupted from his body, consumed both himself and his opponent, and caused them to disappear from sight.
That same moment, in the same wasteland from previously…
…in a flash of light, the two Gods reappeared, now with Honosenshi behind Dracton, though due to somehow appearing on the other side of the Planet, the God had been thrown off balance, especially since he'd rushed to try and attack his opponent, and ended up stumbling forward a few steps before he managed to regain control of himself and stand his ground. Upon doing so, the two Gods turned on the spot in unison, and the moment the two locked eyes, they froze in place and stared their opponent out for nearly a full minute, activating their auras at the same time ready for the battle to begin.
Simultaneously, the two Gods thrusted both their arms forward and pointed their palms facing their opponent, and after channelling their energy to produce their own unique KI blast at the end of their hands (with Dracton's being white whilst Honosenshi's was red), the two warriors exclaimed the names of their techniques ("LIGHT GRENADE!" "BURST ATTACK!") and blasted off their energy in the form of beams that were 30 feet tall and wide. The beams raced across the landscape at speeds of Mach 8 before finally colliding, and the fusion of the two powers resulted in the creation of a massive golden dome that grew in both size and width as time went on.
The two Gods continued funnelling energy into their attacks in an attempt to overpower their opponent, causing the dome to grow larger as a result and the power it outputted to grow greater and greater, in fact growing so strong that many small mountains and rock formations surrounding the area began to shake before finally collapsing into mere rubble. Before long, the power built up in the dome grew to reach its climax, and the golden semi-circle expanded out to cover nearly an entire continent with its width, and just scrape the atmosphere with its height.
The light left over from the dome that covered the land was blinding to look at, though if one was to look extremely close at the very centre of said light, they would see Dracton and Honosenshi locked in an intense skirmish of fists only, with both warriors constantly clashing, dodging and blocking one another's attacks. Eventually, the light died down, and their skirmish took to the skies where they slowly began to move across the land whilst locked in their struggle with one another.
After so many punches had been thrown between the two, the winged warrior thrusted his right hand forward and fired off a red energy beam at point-blank range, though with his new godly speed, the robotic warrior managed to sidestep to the left and dodge the attack just as it flew by him and graced his arm by a mere nanometre. Seeing an opportunity to strike, the Eirianrobotto God lunged forward and attempted to land a right jab to the Omega God's stomach, though with quick reflexes, the elder god dodged the younger God's attack and managed to trap him in a headlock using his left arm.
With his opponent now ripe to take advantage of, Honosenshi charged an energy blast into his right hand, and placed it right next to Dracton's face before unleashing it, and the explosion produced from the attack launched the Freedom Fighter flying towards the ground below at such a speed that, when he collided with a nearby rock formation, he became stuck in the side of it. The robotic warrior struggled to pry himself free from the formation with little success, though when the winged warrior teleported in front of him with another energy blast ready to be unleashed, the machine found the determination he needed to break himself free and teleport out of the way right as the God unleashed his attack and destroyed the formation.
The Eirianrobotto God appeared behind his opponent and fired off his own blast of golden energy, though just seconds before it could hit the Omega God, he took off towards the skies above. It took a few seconds, but after reacquiring his target from where he hovered near the clouds above, Dracton fired off another blast even faster than he did the last, but again Honosenshi managed to dodge the attack with his incredible speed. This process occurred several more times until it looked as if the robotic warrior had worn himself dry and was trying to regain his breathe, and the winged warrior took this moment to hover down from above and look down on his opponent to gloat.
Honosenshi:"Come now! Surely you aren't tired after firing all of those blasts? Perhaps if you'd learnt to aim, you wouldn't have wasted so much energy"
Dracton:"And if you've been watching all of us for so long, you would've learnt that if I do miss, it usually benefits me"
After taking a moment to process what the younger God had said, a look of shock and realisation spread across the Elder Gods face, right before he took a look around himself and realised that the nearly 100 blasts the machine had fired at him were all floating in the skies around him, trapping him as a result. With a smirk on his face, the Freedom Fighter held his right arm out to his opponent, and simply uttered the words "Hellzone Grenade" before he bawled his hand into a fist, and every single one of the blasts began to close in his opponent.
With no other option, the Elder God summoned up some of his latent energy, right before he unleashed a massive scream from the bottom of his lungs and flared up his aura and power, right as the younger God's attacks collided with his body and enveloped him in an explosion large enough to cover a capital city whilst being strong enough to wipe out an entire Planet had the machine not contained it as he did.
The smoke soon cleared and the robotic warrior was left floating above a scorched wasteland looking for any sign of his opponent, and the very second he felt a KI pick up behind him, he span in place and launched his right hand out ready to fire off an attack, only to come face to face with the winged warrior doing the same thing. The two Gods now found themselves in a stalemate, both in a prime position to attack the other whilst being at the risk of being attacked. It seemed this stare down, waiting for the first person to attack, could go on forever, and both combatants certainly had the time to allow it to go on.
At the prospect of this, the Eirianrobotto God smirked and laughed to himself, confusing the Omega God and making him curious as to how his opponent found it funny, though that was all the opening Dracton needed to lung forward, grab Honosenshi by the shoulders, and then launch him flying with such a powerful head-butt that the ground below the two Gods shattered and levelled by the mere collision between the two.
Upon recovering closer to the ground where he became surrounded by several rock formations, the winged warrior span in place and attacked his opponent with a right roundhouse kick at the exact moment the robotic warrior rushed forward and attacked with a spinning right roundhouse kick of his own, causing the two to clash once more and shake the ground beneath them with their immense power. The two then retracted their legs, span around again, and then launched their left legs out in the form of hook kicks that clashed like before, and the resulting clash resulted in every rock formation around them exploding into several smaller chunks.
With every last bit of power they could summon, the two Gods struggled against one another's power in an attempt to gain an advantage over the other, and eventually, one of them succeeded. In an instant, Dracton's aura flared up around him as he broke through Honosenshi's attack and dragged his leg downwards, opening him up for the robotic warrior to strike the winged warrior with an incredibly powerful right punch to the chest that launched the God flying across Eirian with no control over his own flight.
The Omega God only managed to stop himself after he had performed nearly a full lap around the Planet, when he finally managed to flare up his aura and bring himself to a halt just over the very same city he attacked not long ago. And it was seconds after this that the God spotted the Eirianrobotto God rocketing across the skies towards him, and so in response, the elder God swung his hands above his head and clasped them together, right before he swung them downwards and against the younger God's back the moment he reached his opponent.
At speeds of nearly Mach 2, Dracton was launched flying towards the city below, though on his approach to the ground, he managed to spin himself around and fire off two energy blasts towards Honosenshi as he pursued him in his fall. Seeing the attacks heading towards him, the winged warrior crossed his forearms over each other in front of him, and right as the two energy blasts were about to hit him, he swung them outwards and hit the blasts away like they were mere flies in his path.
Just seconds later, the younger God managed to land safely on the ground, knelt down on his right knee whilst using his right fist to support himself, and swiftly leapt out of the way as the elder God came crashing down from above and slammed his own right fist into the spot his opponent had previously stood, causing the already 3 feet deep and wide crater created from the impact to triple in size. The Omega God then turned back to face his opponent, only to be greeted with a right hook straight across the cheek that had been slung at him by the Eirianrobotto God, and the force behind the attack caused a beam of energy to burst out of the ground behind the elder God and ascend into the skies above.
Upon retracting his fist, the robotic warrior took advantage of his enemy's moment of vulnerable-ness, and swung his left leg upwards in the form of a roundhouse kick that connected with the winged warrior's ribs and launched him flying into the air and through 4 separate buildings. The moment Honosenshi left the fourth building, Dracton appeared right behind him and slammed both his feet into the Elder Gods back, right before the younger God used his feet to force his opponent to the floor and grind him down the streets like he was a skateboard. After being scrapped across the floor for nearly 2 miles, the winged warrior eventually reached his breaking point, and used his latent KI to unleash a barrier around himself and launch the robotic warrior into the air.
Whilst in the air, Dracton spotted an abandoned and partially damaged building nearby, saw an opportunity to both inflict some major damage and have a little fun in the process, and so dropped down through a hole in the ceiling before disappearing with the shadows. It wasn't long before Honosenshi found himself in the same building, and began strolling through the hallways for some sign of his opponent in order to continue their battle. A moment later, he was given a pretty clear idea of the Eirianrobotto Gods whereabouts when he came crashing down from above, slammed his right elbow into the Omega Gods back, and ploughed him through every single floor until they reached the bottom.
At that point, the winged warrior managed to regain control of himself, and just before he hit the floor, he outputted another burst of KI around himself that both stopped him in place and forced the robotic warrior to back away. However, this didn't seem to bother the younger God, and he instead used it as his opportunity to fly back up and disappear onto the next floor, right before the elder God flew up after him and landed facing the direction he'd seen his opponent fly off, only to find nothing awaiting him. That was until he felt something approaching him from behind, and turned around to be greeted with a double punch straight to the chest that carried him flying towards the other side of the building.
The moment the Omega God collided face-first with the furthest side of the building, the Eirianrobotto God released his grip upon his enemy, charged a KI blast into his right hand, right before he fired it towards the ceiling and escaped through the small hole the blast created. After managing to regain control of himself, Honosenshi prepared to fly up after his opponent and possibly inflict damage to him after all he had been dealt, though just as he was about to step off of the floor, Dracton came bursting through the very floor the elder God stood on and tackled him all the way to the very top of the sky-scraper.
Once the two reached the final ceiling of the building, the robotic warrior launched the winged warrior through it and into the skies above, right before the Eirianrobotto God appeared right above him with his hands clasped above his head, and then brought them down on the Omega God's body with enough power and speed to launch him straight back down to and through the skyscraper they had recently done battle in. The elder God collided with the building at such a speed that he was sent straight through every floor and to the very bottom of it, right before the entire skyscraper came crashing down on top of him and buried him in rubble.
When the smoke of the destroyed building finally cleared away, a single figure was revealed at the centre of the piles of rubble, and that figure was Honosenshi; down on his left knee whilst he used his left hand to keep himself up and catch his breathe. Knowing his victory was more than ensured, Dracton slowly floated down from the skies above and landed a few meters behind his opponent, right before he closed the distance between the two and stood towering above his opponent.
Dracton:"You're beaten. I'm giving you one chance to surrender. Take it, leave this Planet, and cease your quest to exterminate all those you deem 'weak'. This will be your only chance"
Seeing an opportunity to attack with his enemy so close, Honosenshi lowered his right hand down by his left hip and surrounded his index and middle finger with a red light, right before he span around and swung them upwards in a diagonal manner whilst screaming "FIRE SLICER!" and unleashed an almost invisibly thin red beam of light that hit Dracton's body head on before disappearing.
Just seconds later, a huge chunk of the upper half of one of the skyscrapers many miles behind the machine suddenly began to slide off the rest of its structure, right before the entire building came down. Despite the obvious devastation he had caused, all the Omega God could do was quake in fear at the Eirianrobotto God, who stood above him unfazed despite being hit at point blank range by one of his strongest attacks.
Honosenshi:"H-How did you survive?! That attack should have sliced you in half!"
Dracton:"Simple…" he started before he leaned in and stared the God right in the eyes.
"You missed…" he stated simply, shattering whatever hope his opponent had of defeating him.
"I gave you a chance to live. You didn't take it. Now, I'm finishing this" he explained as he slowly raised his right arm up and opened his fist out to point his palm directly in the elder Gods face.
Honosenshi:"Go ahead; kill me. In the end, you'll still die"
Dracton:"I don't see that happening since you'll be gone"
Honosenshi:"Oh, but I won't be. Soon, the prophecy will begin, and I'll be back to face you and your allies once more with a few of my own. When that happens, my strength and theirs will not be restricted as it was today, and we shall use our full power to destroy you and everyone you care about. Be wary, Dracton Mangham. The Omega Gods are coming, and with them, so will the destruction of all 12 Universes"
Dracton:"We'll see about that. Godly Explosive Wave"
With those simple words, a beam of pure white energy burst out of the Eirianrobotto God's palm, completely consumed the Omega God into his grasp, and incinerated him with little effort, leaving behind nothing more than a mere pile of ash when it diminished. The robotic warrior watched as the pile of ash was carried away with the wind, though with his newly enhanced vision, he was able to see small particles of red energy fly off of each of the ash particles and ascend into the stars above.
With the battle now won, the machine took a deep breath and exerted the last of his KI, causing him to revert back to his base form, though the height and bulk he gained did not vanish. Upon powering down, he sensed a familiar KI approach him from above, and turned with a small smirk on his face to see Loxcaton hovering down from above to greet his comrade.
Loxcaton:"A fine job, my friend. You protected our people from a dangerous opponent and managed to gain access to the Eirianrobotto God Form"
Dracton:"Yes, but at what cost? Several people had to die before I realised I needed that power to actually protect them. In order to protect my people, I had to fail to do that very task"
Loxcaton:"It is a tragedy that we lost so many, but think about what could've happened if you didn't unlock that power. Our entire race would probably be extinct right about now. Through their deaths, they helped you gain the power you needed to save everyone else"
Dracton:"And I must now master that power if I am to keep both my people and the rest of the Universe safe from harm. I will stay for a few days to help with the rebuilding, but after that, I must return home to Mobius…"
"…my family and I have work to do…"
7:30pm, July 2nd, Planet Mobius, The City of Harthill…
…a bright blue flash of light appeared atop one of the many buildings in the city, and upon clearing away, revealed a lone figure hidden by the shadows cast by the other buildings, the cape he wore blowing by the winds that had graced the Planet that day. Upon stepping closer to the edge of the building to get a better view of the city and world he had landed on, the shadows that were previously cast over him vanished, revealing none other than Dracton himself, now with a major difference; he was wearing clothes. A special GI, to be precise, to represent his people no matter where he was, and also to represent his ascension to the realm of Gods.
A pair of purple and black ringed martial arts trousers similar in style to that worn by Hariko and his son, as the machines trousers also had a black belt tied around his waist, as well as black portions on the pocket areas. He also wore a black piece of armour similar in style to his Master Piccolo's weighted clothing, especially since it was also weighted for training purposes like his Master's was, though the dark grey shoulder guards stretched around his shoulders rather than over them, and each had a small light grey wing like that found on a fighter jet. Both the shoulder guards and the neck area of the armour was lined with a purple line, and stretching from the back of the armour and shoulder guards was a grey cape nearly identical to his Namekian Mentors.
The terrain surveyed and satisfied to find himself back on Mobius once more, the machine took to the skies and flew off to a location a few miles out from the city; a small house atop one of the nearby mountains. The house he and the others had helped Hariko build after Harikan was born, and the same building the man lived in to this day. The Eirianrobotto strolled up to the door and gave a small knock, and patiently waited for a few seconds as he heard a figure from inside move towards the door. Then, the door swung open, and before him stood Abigail Mangham, the wife of Hariko, the one he had helped raise Harikan in the absence of Logan, and one of his closest friends to this date.
Abigail:"Dracton!" she exclaimed as her face lit up at the sight of the robot.
Dracton:"Hello Abi" he chuckled as he joined the woman in a small hug.
Abigail:"I didn't expect you to come back so soon. Does this mean you've already become the Eirianrobotto God?"
Dracton:"Indeed it has. The form brought with it a few…changes to my base state"
Abigail:"I'll say. You were definately not that tall or big before you left. And I know I'm not expert on KI, but yours definatly feels different. Logan could probably give you a better run down"
Dracton:"Speaking of whom, where is he? I must see him at once"
Abigail:"Hehe, isn't that the question?"
Dracton:"What do you mean?"
Abigail:"A few days after you left, Logan managed to get in touch with Ujun and asked him to train him to help hone his new God power"
Dracton:"That certainly sounds like something he'd do"
Abigail:"Of course. Not long after, Ujun dropped by and took him to Tyrus' dimension to train him. Apparently, it's somewhere above the mortal plain that's quite difficult to reach"
Dracton:"I see"
Abigail:"He's been keeping touch with us since he's left, though I can tell somethings bothering him. He's not slept in weeks from what I can gather, and he's been pushing his body far beyond what he can handle trying to re-achieve that Super Hybrid God power"
Dracton:"Of course he has. Thank you, Abi. After I figure out how to, get there and speak with Logan, I'll come back so we can actually have a chat and catch up"
Abigail:"No problem. I know how important training is to you boys. I'll see you later"
With a nod in understanding, the robotic warrior flared up his aura once more, before he took to the skies and began ascending to the upper atmosphere of the Planet, stopping himself when he was on the cusp of leaving Mobius' highest atmosphere.
Dracton:"A place above the mortal realm, huh? Well, if it's a place for Gods, I should be able to find it thanks to my ascension…" he remarked to himself.
The robotic Mangham then closed his eyes and scowered the entire Universal Plain for a sign of his comrades KI, and like looking for a needle in a haystack, the machine eventually identified his firend's energy, and perused it with his new God Control.
Tyrus' Dimension…
…a few miles away from the Hakaishin's incredible palace, past the many pale green fields that covered most of the land and just beyond the humungous clear blue lake that accompanied said fields, laid a lush forest that stretched for miles and miles, the trees and leaves of said forest being of a light purple. In the furthest depths of this woodland in a small opening amongst the trees, stood the one and only Hariko Mangham, his GI and weighted shirt torn to bits to the point the many injuries adoring his chest, stomach and arms that he had acquired due to his extensive training were exposed.
With a blank yet focused expression, the Mangham stood staring ahead of himself into the ends of the forest like he was fascinated by every little detail in front of him. In reality, he was taking none of it in, and in fact, he couldn't actually see the forest. With the use of his Chaos Sight to enhance his senses, the Hybrid found himself looking upon a completely different sight thanks to a small training technique he had picked up from his Saiyan mentor known as Image Training. What was ahead of him wasn't what his eyes saw, and what was around him wasn't what his body felt.
To him, he was no longer in Tyrus' Dimension, or even anywhere known in the Universe. Where he saw himself could only be comparable to Hell. Barren wastelands, rock lands, fire, volcanoes, rivers of lava and so on littered the land. Whereas the climate of the Destroyer Gods world was rather cool, Hariko could feel the intense heat from so much lava wash over every part of his body and infect all of his senses. The intense gravity of the area, which was near impossible for him to withstand in his SH3 state before taking on Tyrus, could now be felt pressuring each part of his body, though he seemed to be handling it rather well, surviving at least.
Around him, he could picture the image of every single opponent he'd ever fought in his life; Kelriza, Felrikan, Kilutro, Rexcor, King Kalrax (the father of the Demonk brothers), Shade, Metal Hariko, Hagian, Garianga, Garo Kan, and finally, Mephiles. All of them were surrounding him, and all of them were constantly attacking him in their strongest forms with the most powerful attacks they had, whether they were up close and physical, or from a distance using KI. However, no matter how many times he was hit, no matter what they threw at him, and no matter how many injuries he withstood, the Mangham stood there and held his ground with an iron fist.
Even after he received an incredibly powerful right hook to the face from Mephiles, one that contained enough power to wipe out Planets and galaxies in mere moments, one that forced blood to start trickling down from his nose, cheek and forehead, Hariko continued to stare ahead with a blank expression. It wasn't until all of them decided to group up and attack him from a distance with their most powerful energy techniques, did the Hybrid God finally make his move. Just as every single one of the attacks was about to hit him, the Mangham unleashed a massive roar from the bottom of his lungs and unleashed enough of his dormant KI to completely incinerate the beams, consume all of his opponents, and then utterly annihilate both them and the Planet.
It was this action that caused the Hybrid God to snap out of his daze and take a look around the area, realising he had in fact accidentally unleashed a small burst of power around the area and cause a small portion of the forest to be decimated. Trees had collapsed, a little bit of grass and plants were burning, and there were several cracks in the ground that probably ran right down to the foundations of the land. And after all that, he was still no closer to re-transforming into the Super Hybrid God.
"Seems someone's been busy…" remarked a voice from above the Mangham, and one that he recognised all too well.
Hariko:"Good to see you as well, old friend…" he remarked as he turned to see Dracton emerge from what few trees remained standing.
Dracton:"When Abi told me that your training was intense, I do not think she fully grasped just what lengths you were willing to go" he chuckled as he joined his ally in a handshake.
Hariko:"I'm assuming you saw what was going on in my head then?"
Dracton:"Indeed, and I can tell you now that that is not the way to achieve the Super Hybrid God"
Hariko:"Well, it's the only other route I've got. Besides, no harm no foul, right?"
Dracton:"Your injuries speak otherwise"
Hariko:"Fair enough. But enough about me, how are you doing? I can sense your KI is different. Traces of God KI. You managed to become the Eirianrobotto God?"
Dracton:"Indeed, though it was not through the means I thought"
Hariko:"What do you mean?"
Dracton:"…there is a new threat on the horizon. One the likes of which we could never fathom before, nor could we take on had it not been for Tyrus' attempt to eradicate the Super Hybrid God"
Hariko:"What are we facing?"
Dracton:"Warriors by the name 'The Omega Gods'. I encountered one on Eirian. He slaughtered many of my people, claiming that such a weak species should not be allowed to live. The need for power to defend against the likes of him brought out the Eirianrobotto God in me"
Hariko:"I see. So, we're dealing with copies of the High Chief, near enough? People who believe the weak should not be allowed to live and that the strong should rein above all?"
Dracton:"Not necessarily. I believe each of these Gods have their own agenda"
Hariko:"How did you come to that conclusion? You've met one"
Dracton:"That maybe so, but from what I managed to gather from his intentions, and what little I actually managed to pry free of his mind, I believe that his mission to eradicate the weak was something personal. The man I faced, Honosenshi, had such a passion for the issue that it made me think this was his own mission to be carried out whilst his comrades had their own agendas to fulfil"
Hariko:"Interesting…how many are we facing?"
Dracton:"Not a clue"
Hariko:"What are we talking in terms of power?"
Dracton:"My improved Override Form, which now gives me a X2O increase as opposed to its previous X3.5, barely managed to touch him before I gained access to my Godly Form"
Hariko:"Well, looks like we've got our work cut out for us…"
Dracton:"Indeed, though there was something…unusual about his power. Like he had an entire cesspool to pull from but was simply unable or un-allowed to. What I faced must have only been a portion of his strength, but it is unclear how great a portion"
Hariko:"(sigh) great…I protect the Planet from countless threats time and time again…I defeated an entire prophecy of enemies destined to threaten my home…and now we have even greater threats coming for us…suppose there really is no rest for the wicked…we better get training right away…"
Dracton:"Actually, what we need to do for the time being is rest"
Hariko:"You're joking, right?"
Dracton:"Logan. Look at yourself" he stated as he placed a comforting hand on his friends shoulder.
"You're tired, you're injured, and you're in no condition to continue training or do battle. You faced the God of Destruction just weeks ago, and were left in the most broken condition of your life. It took every ounce of your will just to stand up, and don't try and argue with me that it didn't. I read your mind" he remarked as he saw his old ally about to protest but stop, and that itself brought a smile to both their faces.
"And now you're continuing to push your body to its limits after it's already gone up and beyond them. You need to time to let yourself heal, let your true power come back to fruition and give yourself time to re-adjust to your own body. We cannot combat these new threats if our heaviest hitter is unable to battle at his maximum efficiency"
Hariko:"(sigh)…guess it couldn't hurt to sit down for a while…plus, the idea of sleep sounds really good right about now…I've not closed my eyes properly in weeks…" he chuckled as he rubbed his dark-ringed eyes.
Dracton:"Haha! You should've seen the look Abi gave me when she told me you hadn't slept in weeks. I was afraid she was going to bring herself with me in order to slap some sense into you!"
Hariko:"Ahehe! That definatly would've been worse…still, I'm glad you've been here for me all these years. When Abi and the others couldn't, you kept me in check and had my back. When I was stuck in space, you helped my wife raise my boy into the man he's become. You helped take care of everyone and protect them in my absence. That's something I can never pay you back for. That's something that makes us more than friends and allies. That's something that's made us brothers"
Dracton:"Indeed it does. And after all you have done for me; give me a home, a family, a duty and a place to belong, nothing will ever change that"
The two Freedom Fighters then raised their right arms up towards one another and connected their right forearms together to form a cross with their arms, and stood there holding their gesture until they felt one of the many suns that orbited the dimension disappear half way down the horizon just a moment later. Their gesture ended, the two turned on their heel and began walking towards the shrine of the Master Emerald, all the while they kept an arm draped over the other's shoulders.
Hariko:"So, what were the women of your Planet like?"
Dracton:"How did you know we even had females?"
Hariko:"Just a hunch. Plus, Ujun told me a couple of days ago"
Dracton:"Haha! I see. Well, let me tell you about this one girl I met called Jerisina. She had me captured the moment I heard her say something along the lines of…" he trailed off as the two disappeared into the depths of the forest en-route to their desired location.
Meanwhile, in an alternate dimension, in what was once Central City…
…the previously bustling and warm city that many came to know as such a peaceful place to live had vanished and had been replaced with what could only be described as a horrific, totalitarian and dictatorial city. The shining skyscrapers had been replaced by hard concrete structures and were draped with several red and black symbolled banners, said symbols resembling a fist enwrapped with a golden dragon. The once packed city streets were dead and quiet, and in their placed roamed soldiers of the Demonk army on what seemed to be routine patrols. Atop the highest building in the city, one bright red with the strange black symbol seen across the city blown up to humungous proportions, stood a lone figure looking out over the city with disgust.
"I have finally done it. I have finally brought true peace to Mobius and the entire Universe, but I am still left unsatisfied…" spoke the figure, in a vice that was once filled with such compassion and heart and was now replaced with hatred and authority.
"The mortals that once plagued this realm have been put in place to achieve a true utopia, and yet I know that there are more worlds out there where this same infectious fear continues to harm the Multiverse. My Parallel selves were too foolish to realize it, but I am not them. I have seen the Universe and its inhabitants for what they truly are, and in order for us to achieve a perfect kingdom for life to flourish, I must correct all other worlds like I have here!" he growled as he raised his right hand out in front of him and bawled it into a fist.
"Your plan is almost ready to be put in motion, old friend…" remarked a demonic voice that stepped from the shadows to the hidden figures left, revealing themselves to be the Demon King of the End Zone, Garianga.
"Soon, our reach shall spread, and the rest of the Multiverse will be under our control…" added a second voice, this one posh and cold, who stepped out to the figures right and were revealed to be the Demonk Prince of the Galaxy, Kelriza.
"We shall purify the Multiverse and preform true justice for the people of each infected Universe. Ready the portal and the rest of our merry band of men. For us to conquer the Multiverse, we must eliminate those that would become obstacles in our path. My old friends and even the alternate versions of myself will no doubt stand against us, but with our combined might we shall vanquish them!" chuckled the hidden figure, as his spiky black hair and bangs were temporarily caught by the wind.
Kelriza:"So, where do we strike first?"
"We shall eliminate the biggest obstacle in our path first, that way the rest of the Multiverse will fall like a stack of dominoes. Our first target shall be the Prime Universe, and the filthy mortals that plague it!" he exclaimed as he flared up his familiar white aura, revealing his familiar unusually bright irises that were now bright yellow.
The Universe's Peace is at stake once again! A new kind of enemy, known as 'The Omega Gods', are set to appear on the horizon and attack all 12 Universes! With his Godly power now achieved, Dracton has rushed back to his allies on Mobius to inform them of the coming storm, in an attempt to prepare themselves for what is to come. Will the Freedom Fighters be able to prepare themselves in time for such powerful opponents? Just what is 'The Prophecy' that Honosenshi spoke of? Just when will these new enemies emerge? And what is this new threat rising from another Universe?
Find out, in the next Chapter of Mobius Z: War on Gods!
