The Eighth Immortal

By Ulrich362

"What's going on brother?" asked a dark green creature. "Why are flames dotting our home?"

"I don't know, but I do not intend to give up without a fight." said a second creature. "Go with the others and find shelter, I'll hold off these monsters for as long as possible."

"No, I need to help you." the first creature said. "If I don't then who knows what might happen."

"I've already told you, it's far to dangerous." the second creature said. "Now run before you get hurt."

"A noble action, unfortunately not one that's going to help." said a shadowy figure as it flew down towards them. "You're both dead."

"No, you won't hurt my brother." the second creature said before creating a white barrier in front of him.

"A shield, is that the best you can do?" the figure asked coldly. "Finish them off."

"Of course, this is the fun part." said a second figure before purple flames that engulfed the two figures killing them instantly.

"Elegant as ever aren't you, we really should do something together that doesn't involve work wouldn't you say." The first figure said.

"That sounds like a plan, but right now we have a job to finish, wouldn't want him to get impatient." the second figure said before the two took off into the sky.

"I'm not impressed, none of your efforts have done anything, I'm getting bored." said a demonic looking figure with wings. "Why don't I show you what you're getting yourselves into."

With those words the figure flew towards the ground and incinerated two-dozen buildings easily.

"Always the show off aren't you." said another figure. "Of course I am too."

"I wonder how those two are doing, knowing her she's leading them straight to him." the first figure said. "I wonder how many are left."

"I doubt it's that many, after all we've been here for a few hours." the second figure said. "Plus the big guy will be here himself in a few short hours. I'm honestly disappointed, this is what they considered difficult?"

"You know how they are, we have to clean up their messes from time to time." the first figure said before the two of them flew off into the sky.

"Brother I need to ask you." said a figure as it destroyed another building.

"I know what you're thinking sis, and honestly I agree." said another figure as it vaporized several dark green creatures. "What can we do about it though, it isn't like we can match his power."

"Not on our own, but if there was a way to utilize all our power we might be able to defeat him." argued the first figure. "I know it's bad but I can't just sit back and watch much more of this."

"Sister, I know how you must feel." the second figure said. "I'll talk with him and see if I can have you leave."

"Thank you brother." the first figure said as the two of them flew towards more buildings.

"It's almost time for me to check on the progress." said a red creature with yellow lines along it's body.

"I still don't understand why he allows you to send your own personal subjects into battle." asked a creature hidden in shadows. "You're just afraid to get your own claws dirty aren't you?"

"No, I'm more than capable." the red creature said. "The difference is that unlike you I can transfer my powers to my generals."

"Both of you be silent." said a third creature. "There is far more to consider than you know."

"Of course, I never intended to…" the second creature said nervously.

"Do I need to remind you of my powers?" the third creature asked coldly. "Kurimuzondoragon, you are to go and ensure your generals have finished their job."

"Of course my master, you have my word that success is to be guaranteed." Kurimuzondoragon said before flying off through a purple portal.

"Are you sure he is trustworthy, his power is dangerous." said the second figure.

"Uru, I am well aware of your fears." the third figure said. "However I am far more powerful than Kurimuzondoragon."

"Of course, who was I to doubt you." Uru said nervously.

"Know your place, I may just allow him to destroy you." the third figure said coldly before vanishing into the shadows.

"Nearly everything here is complete, I must admit Uru was always a weakling." said a demonic looking dragon.

"I agree, but still it's always nice to let loose every now and then." said a white and blue dragon before a purple portal appeared. "Oh, it's good to see you sir."

"Enough of that, things are progressing smoothly." Kurimuzondoragon said. "If all goes well our plan should begin soon enough."

"Are you certain, I mean sure the others won't pose a threat but he's even stronger than you are." said a blue dragon with golden armor. "It's too risky."

"I know the risks, but after serving alongside them for countless millennia this is the last time we will harm another species." Kurimuzondoragon said calmly. "We will retreat to another dimension and seek out those who can aid us in finally destroying him."

"Kurimuzondoragon sir, I want to ask a favor." said a orange dragon.

"Of course, what's troubling you?" Kurimuzondoragon asked calmly.

"It's my sister, I don't want to get her involved in this any longer, would it be possible for her to go there?" the orange dragon asked.

"I understand, I'll see what I can do, unfortunately if we are to continue to hold his trust, I need you all to return to me for the time being." Kurimuzondoragon said before the six figures surrounding him turned into red lights and flew into him. "Now, to destroy a dead world."

The moment he said that, Kurimuzondoragon unleashed a powerful beam of light that vaporized the entire planet, along with all the life remaining on it.
