Darkness Reborn
Judging by me reviews, I see most of you were shocked about the cliffhanger at the end. :D I know it was certainly surprising (even for me) and I hope everyone will stick around to see what happens next.
Also, a message to an fellow author.
chloemcg: "Hi Chloe, I do not mean to bother you, but if you are free, would you mind making another picture of Mr. Kirilenko for me? I do the like the one you made before, but instead, I was hoping you could draw his whole body? You do not have too if you don't want to so don't worry. :D But if you do want to, let me know and I will give you a description on what he looks like."
Anyway, enjoy the chapter, everyone. :D
"Lord Nexus...?" Vadin gasped, his eyes wide open as he the dark macaw took the Orb of Darkness from his wings into his own, using its power for his own will.
"Vadin, I see you have not changed much." Nexus replied, clearing his throat slightly as the two macaws standing in front of him knelt down to him in respect. He smirked as he beckoned for them to stand again. "And I see you have captured the Angelus, too."
"Yes, we did, Lord Nexus!" Vadin quick responded, not wanting to make the evil macaw angry or get him upset in anyway, knowing how strong Nexus is with his powers. "I was watching your army for you until we found a new leader."
"Good. I thought my nephew would have been in charge of them for a while." Nexus chuckled, walking out from his captive cell, and completely unaware of nephew's fate. He looked in front of him where three of his soldiers (whom he recognized immediately) quickly knelt down to him in respect. "Ah, you two are still alive, I see. And Mr. Kirilenko. Good thing my personal guard is still here with us."
"We are glad you are back with us, Lord Nexus." the smart macaw assured, standing back up to full height where he gestured his wing to the Angelus, who was being held still by his partner. "And we caught the Angelus."
"Excellent." he smirked, lifting his right talon out and gripping the Angelus's throat, easily lifting into the air with his super strength that he soon acquired again with the power of the Orb. "Hello, your Majesty. You kept me locked in that cell for a very long time. I was beginning to think you forget about me, and now that I am free, I would love nothing more than to kill you right now."
The Angelus wheezed for oxygen as Nexus crushed her neck with his talon, almost breaking it in the process. She managed to spit out a couple of words as the evil macaw did not release his grip one bit. "Nexus...We may be the opposite...Of each other, but we share one thing, and that is our healing factors."
"True." Nexus admitted, smirking as he watched her struggle in his grip, finding it to be amusing to him. "But you forget one thing: I cannot die, but you can."
"So be it." she replied, hiding her fear of death from the evil macaws as her eyes turned red from the lack of oxygen. "Go ahead."
Nexus was about to give the finishing blow until he smirked, realizing her trick. He released his grip and dropped her to the ground, watching as she gasped for air before slipping off into an unconscious state. "I know you too well, and you will remain alive...For now, anyway. Gentleman-and lady-let us be on our way."
Nexus walked down the hallway with his new men walking behind him while keeping their prisoner (who was being carried by Kirilenko) in their captive for now. It felt so good for Nexus to be out of that cell and finally free from his restraints, free to do whatever he wanted.
While walking down the prison air, Vadin caught up with Nexus while rubbing his wingtips together with his right wing. "Lord Nexus...If I may ask, do you still have any of your previous powers?"
"Only some." Nexus answered, keeping his eyes locked to the end of the hallway. "I still have all the powers of the Darkness inside of me, but as for the powers you, Kate and the others shared with me, they are gone. But my strength has increased during the past year. I trust you and Kate will be willing to help me?"
"Of course we will, Lord Nexus!" Vadin agreed, fearing that Nexus may punish him by killing him or even worse if he was to refuse. "We are here to assist you in anyway possible."
"Good." Nexus grinned, finally reaching the throne room where they prepared to leave this world and make their way back to the World of Darkness. "Now, if we may, let us get back to the World of Darkness. It's been too long."
The smart macaw and the stupid macaw nodded as they use their small powers to open up a portal back to the World of Darkness. Now that they had their true leader back, and some strong allies, maybe they could finally carry out their plan of destruction, but except this time, they would finally succeed.
A short while later, Nexus and his new allies finally made it back to the World of Darkness where he never felt better to be back home. They got to the castle of darkness where Nexus was kindly-and fearfully-greeted by the remaining dark macaws.
While they were here, Nexus ordered the dark macaws to take the Angelus to a special cell he had created just for hour a long, long time ago. They had been battling for many years, and now Nexus has finally won this battle once and for all.
Nexus got to his throne room where he it did look like it changed much in his opinion. He sat down in his throne chair, sighing as he inhaled a deep breath with his eyes closed and head rested. "Ahh. It feels so good to be home again."
"Is there anything you would wish us to do for your, Lord Nexus?" Vadin inquired while he and Kate merely stood in the center of the room with their wings placed to their sides, awaiting orders.
"Yes, there is." Nexus answered, pressing both of his wings together with one talon crossed against the other. "I want you both to go to your quarters for now and rest up. Tomorrow, we begin making our plans."
Vadin and Kate nodded before they left Nexus' throne room to leave him at peace for now. After they were gone, Nexus closed his eyes as he began to mediate to himself. He sighed, opening his eyes for a brief moment while he thought to himself. "I may have just gotten out of prison, but the first thing I wish to do is take revenge on those who put me in there in the first place. Now that I already have the Angelus in my captive, I will take my revenge on the blue macaw. He may be still be alive, but I will make him suffer from what he did to me!"
A Before Nexus could lose his rage about events of the past, he was greeted by the smart macaw and stupid macaw, who walked into his throne room and knelt down to him in respect. Both of them were carrying scrolls in their wings to present them to their leader.
"Lord Nexus, we bring you the scrolls you requested." the smart macaw said, holding up the scrolls in both of his wings.
"Excellent." he grinned, using his power of telekinesis to appear a glowing purple light around the scrolls that allowed him to lift them and bring them to him. He took the scrolls into his wings, reading them carefully as they were written in a strange sort of language. "Now, if you both do not mind, I need silence in order to learn these."
The two macaws nodded and obeyed their leader, leaving him to learn these new scrolls in peace.
After they were gone, Nexus began to read all of these scrolls one-by-one, wanting all the knowledge and power he could get. In the future, he was not going to need these if he was going to finally defeat his enemies, and win this war once and for all.
The Angelus slowly began to open her eyes for the first time in hours after she had knocked unconscious under the mercy of her old nemesis Nexus. She eventually summons the strength to lean up where she was locked in a small room of some kind.
"What...?" she said to herself, using her wings to stand herself up where she studied the small room where was in.
The room was not that big and had a bed, a wooden chair, and a mirror, and to top it off; all of them were mad from dark essence. She could tell by how they were glowing purple and black, but luckily it was not enough to physically harm her, just enough to keep her from using her powers.
She ran towards the way in where it was blocked off by a strong glass made out from dark essence too. The Angelus banged on the strong glass where she could see the two dark macaws that were with Vadin guarding the cell on the other side.
Both of them sat in wooden chairs while the smart macaw was holding a dart gun in his wing (possible with darts made out of dark essence) in his wings as weapon while the stupid macaw held dark essence rope just in case things got bad.
"Hey, she's awake." the smart macaw declared, tapping his partner on the wing to wake him up after he had fallen asleep.
"Let me out of here, right now!" the Angelus demanded, banging against the glass to get their attention. She attempted to use her beam powers to blast her way out, until she remembered she was trapped in a room full of her weakness.
"I'm afraid we can't do that." the stupid macaw refused, chuckling slightly as he leaned back with his wings placed behind the back of his head.
"Lord Nexus ordered us to keep you here." the smart macaw replied, rubbing together two of his wingtips. "Now, please be a good prisoner and remain silent."
"You can't keep me in here!" the Angelus yelled, still banging against the window while threatening them with words, knowing how stupid they could be if she said the right words. "My guards are searching for me as we speak, and this will be the first place they check!"
"Please." the smart macaw snorted, finding her wings to be amusing to him and his partner. "This castle is locked down tight. They can't get in here, and even if they did, they got a WHOLE army to get through first."
The Angelus growled as she took a step away from the glass, knowing they were not going to let her go anytime soon. She approached the bed in her cell where she lied herself down on the bed, not having anything else to do for the time being.
The Angelus sighed as she turned around and faced the wall, not knowing what to do next. She thought to herself quietly so the two macaws did not hear her. "I need to get out of here, but how? Without my powers, I am useless, and as long as I am in this cell, I can't use them. There has to be something I can do...If I cannot stop Nexus, then all hope is lost. I can't stop him...He will be immortal..."
Back in Nexus' throne, the evil macaw had just finished reading through every one of these scrolls he requested, learning a lot of useful powers and tricks he could use in the future to face his enemies.
He chuckled quietly to himself as he set down one of the scrolls beside him, learning everything he needed to know for now. Nexus sighed, pressing his wings together yet again. "With me strength and powers, I cannot be stopped this time. Blu and the Angelus may have got the best of me last time, but now that I have already caught one of them-and with me new powers-I am unstoppable. Without the Angelus as his guardian, Blu is weak, and if he has no idea I have returned, I can get to him before he even has the chance to notice. Heheheha. This is going to be perfect!"
Taking a couple of breaths from his laughter, Nexus stood up and walked into the center of his throne room where he faced only the entrance/exit to his throne room.
Using his many powers, Nexus grinned as the Darkness demon arms and serpent heads made their way out from his back as they slivered around his body. When he first required what was rightfully his, Nexus merely had just the powers of the Darkness, but now, he was no longer a puppet...He WAS Darkness itself.
"This is what I was born for. This is my destiny." Nexus said, stroking his wing against the serpent head alike they were some sort of pet. He speared out his wings as the demon arms locked themselves onto the ground and lifted him into the air. He smirked as his eyes went completely red for a moment. "I am the Darkness."
Nexus the evil dark hawk is back, ladies and gentleman, and this time, he truly does look to be unstoppable this time. Let us hope someone may be able to bring him down, but that does not look like it will be happening anytime soon.
