"Welcome, Terrador Bellator." he spoke, his voice seemed to echo like a god, his shaggy white fur swayed despite no wind. His hands were folded and concealed by the baggy robe.

"Master Temblor? Am I… dead?" he asked, troubled by that possibility.

"You are close, you see, when a Geomancer dies the embodiment of his power is returned to the earth and his spirit lives freely. Furthermore, destiny will not allow you to die just yet. You have far too much to accomplish first."

"Terios is too powerful, I cannot defeat him." he admitted, hanging his head down in shame.

"That is of your own doing, young echidna. He is your brother and you are holding back. You believe you are the last of a mighty race, but you're mistaken."

"What are you saying?" he asked looking up at the divine being.

"We lost so many great warriors, but I sacrificed myself to seal a majority of them in an underground vault. Only from the outside can a Geomancer access it. Now, it is time. You must unleash your inner potential and liberate our race." he announced cupping his hands together; a sphere of green energy formed in his palms. With a quick flick of the wrist, the sphere hovered above Terrador. Shortly after it heavily expanded and descended onto him, bestowing substantial power upon him.

"May the spirit of the earth always be with you." he said as he seemed to shrink in size.

"Well, what are you waiting for? Finish what you started!" shouted the tiger. Terios glared deeply at him before approaching the rubble Terrador was last seen. Suddenly, the room began shaking horribly.

"What the fuck is this, an earthquake! asked the very confused tiger. Out of the rubble emerged a russet echidna, a bright green aura pulsing with energy shrouded him. His dreadlocks seemed to float and his muscular density increased. He crossed his arms in front of his face, then outstretched his limbs and let out a powerful yell, increasing the already destructive earthquake. Terios sensed trouble and grabbed his master, both vanished in a cloud of dark purple smoke seconds before the entire five story mansion toppled over. Terios and the tiger reappeared at the bottom of the now demolished mansion. The colossal mound of rubble seemed to kill everyone in its path.

"You know, I'm not even mad he killed all my men. He's out of the picture and rebuilding my army would be no problem. Let's get outta here."

"You really think your actions will go unpunished! demanded a voice from within the rubble. The wreckage began trembling violently before an echidna housed in a green aura soared high into the air. He landed near the duo, the ground shaking upon doing so

"You fucking Bellators just don't give up. Terios, hurry up and end this." he commanded, getting rather irritated. The faker foolishly charged at his adversary completely unaware of his drastic increase in power. The following punch to the forehead didn't even phase him.

"What…?" he stated, questioning his own abilities. He sent his free hand forward, only to have it collided with Terrador's forearm and be pushed back with the other arm. The surrounding area of the mansion consisted of concrete, plenty of earth they can use. The earth around Terrador melded to his body, acting as the same armor as before. Terios charged with incredible speed, leaping in the air and performing an astounding crescent kick. Satisfied with the successful attack he glared at his opponent. His expression changed drastically as the armor was empty. He had attacked a decoy.

"Do you wish to continue, or shall I humiliate you further?" Terrador asked from his backside. For the split second he remained there, he noticed a device that flashed a purple light hidden within Terios' dreadlocks, possibly on the back of his neck.

"That must me how he controls him." he thought, feeling the ground shake below him shortly after. A massive spike formed from the ground right after he leapt out of he way. As he landed, his aura increased. Out of the ground a quartet of rock clones that resembled Terrador emerged from the ground. Not to far in the distance laid giant boulders that began moving towards him. He proceeded to simultaneously compress each fragment into smaller, denser and harder rocks, essentially keeping the rocks under pressure for more volatile attacks if needed. The rocks were then directed to orbit around him until they are put to use. All this was preformed in ten seconds at most. With extremely durable rock armor, four rock clones in which he can control out of sheer concentration and the six compressed rocks circling him, Terios didn't seem to stand a chance. Upon seeing this, the tiger decided to speak up.

"Well then, it seems after long last, one annoying echidna has finally bested me." he confessed.

"Release my brother from your wretched grasp and I will spare your life."

"Trust me, I couldn't do that if I wanted to. That device I'm controlling him with is actually keeping him alive. I was being very serious when I said I wouldn't be fooled again."

As he spoke those words, he slowly approached Terios, fiddling with his cane once again.

"Then again…" he said as he unsheathed the hidden blade and preformed a swift horizontal strike. Terios dropped to the ground, an extensive slash ran across his back. The tiger carried on to grab the teleportation device. "I can make my escape and rebuild my army." he continued. After seeing the horrifying action, Terrador sent his quartet of clones plus sent a few of his rock flying at the tiger. His rocks barely missed and only one clone made it, only to be decimated with three speedy diagonal slashes before the tiger vanished in that cloud of dark purple smoke. Terrador dropped all his weapons and kneeled beside his twin, noticing his marking reverted back to the original green.

"Brother…" he spoke vaguely, his voice actually having emotion.

"Terios, you are free from his control?"

"Yes. Unfortunately, I cannot live on. I have caused so much distress to our people, I don't deserve to be in this world. I can see mother and father again, hopefully in a peaceful mannerism. Goodbye forever, Terrador…" he said with his last breath, his eyelids gradually closed. His body began changing soon after, turning to virtually indestructible rock. Before long, his green markings left his petrified body and formed a glowing sphere of energy that hovered above him. Since this was the embodiment of his power, it expanded heavily and created a formidable and harmless explosion of green energy. This returned his Geokinetic energies back to the earth, seeming relevant to what Temblor had told him. Terrador sighed deeply, his green aura vanishing. His mind pondered about where he can find the walled city of Sephezar. A darting figure was seen through his peripheral vision. He turned to see his parents and his brother, all seemed to be transparent.

"This way, son. You have one more thing to do." Quake spoke as the trio headed off with Terrador close behind. With their sporadic movements, it appeared as if they were warping, making it somewhat difficult for Terrador to follow them. He kept them in his sights nonetheless.
