December 28th, Soleanna…
…atop the fountain of the city centre, the Fused Hybrid looked down upon his two foes with a mighty stare, one that would strike fear in the hearts of most villains that came face-to-face with his Universal Power. Realising that the Mangham would soon become their next opponent, the two Kans turned their attention away from Abukara and the fake Mangham and towards the combined deity standing above them allowing for the two newest members of the Freedom Fighters to drop their guards, though remained in their transformed states.
Xiriko:"Thanks for stalling for me, guys. I'll take it from here" he boomed in his unified voice, as he front-flipped off the fountain, onto the pavement, and began strolling towards his two opponents.
Brikon:"SURE YOU DON'T WANT US AROUND TO HAVE AN EASIER TIME PUMMELING THESE SCRAWNY PUNKS?" he questioned in his constantly powerful voice.
Xiriko:"Trust me; I can handle the whiny children of a God"
Harishin:"Hmhm, as you wish" he remarked, as both he and Brikon powered down to their base forms, and disappeared as the fake Mangham used Instant Transmission.
Kilutro:"Ah! The Fused Hybrid has returned! Think you'll last long enough to take us on?" he asked as he and his brother strolled closer and stopped once side by side standing against the Mangham.
Xiriko:"Believe me, it won't take me long to deal with the two of you! I'll send you boys back to Hell where you can continue to disappoint your father for all eternity!"
Garo:"You talk big, Hybrid, but you won't be laughing once we unleash our true power!"
Kilutro:"You'll be begging for a swift and painless death when you come face to face with our combined might!"
Xiriko:"You two keep talking big trying to scare me, but you're just making me more and more excited to fight you both at your full power! The way in which you two keep bragging, you might actually pose a threat at this point! So why don't you quit stalling and let's see what you two have up your sleeve!"
Kilutro and Garo:"Don't say we didn't warn you…!" they growled/chuckled as their individual aura's flared to life around their bodies, and the two rose higher into the air until they hovered over the Clock Tower.
As if on cue, the Akuman stretched his right hand out to his right as his brother did the same with his left hand, right as Lucifer's Halo spontaneously appeared in the space between the two, and each of them grabbed one side of the ring before reality around them began to warp and quake in their presence. Even the Mangham was forced to raise his KI to stay on his feet, as he witnessed an ungodly and demonic aura radiate off the Halo and surround the two Kanarian's.
Seconds passed and it almost seemed like the Universe itself would be ripped apart by the Devil's Halo, right before the sons of Omega Gods were completely overtaken by a white light and became two figures of pure energy, and those two figures then slowly closed the distance between themselves whilst hovering slightly higher into the air, right before they were absorbed into one another's body along with the Halo, and were followed by a humungous explosion of light that consumed the entire Planet with its presence and very nearly tore another hole in reality.
When Xiriko was able to see once more, he looked back up to the now devastated Clock Tower and stared deep into the smoke surrounding it, searching for any sign of his opponents. Whilst he didn't find either Garo Kan's or Kilutro's energy, he did find a completely different energy, and one that was far more powerful than anything he had ever felt in his existence. This energy slowly descended from the smoke in the form of a single pure white figure, his arms outstretched to his sides as if he was displaying himself to the Universe, and the very second his feet made contact with the floor, the white aura surrounding him disappeared and revealed an entirely new figure.
Due to being one himself, it wasn't hard for the Fused Hybrid to deduce that the figure before him was a fusion of the two monsters', their appearances and energy interwoven with that of Lucifer's Halo to produce an incredibly powerful being. Said being's skin had mixed together the skin colours of his fusees to somehow create a bright pink, a pink found on the giant toenails of the Kanarian's massive black feet. The trousers and gauntlets of Garo Kan were worn by this Fused God, the latter of which was black around the wrist areas with retractable spikes like Kilutro, whilst the black markings that adorned both Kanarian's upper body and arms were imparted on this fused monster's body as well.
The black muzzle shared by the two brothers was also adorned by this figure, his nose the same pink as his skin whilst his eyes were the same black sclera'd and red irised ones found on both monsters, said eyes being shaped quite harsh and hardened just like Kilutro's whilst accompanied by the black line markings adorning Garo Kan's eyes. The figures tuff of tentacle hair producing from the top of his head and stretching backwards was identical to Garo Kan's and had a small bang on the left side like Kilutro had, though both were grey like the tips of the figures quills, which were also identical in size to Kilutro's quills despite being mostly black and shaped like Garo Kan's having only extended from the back of his head and not the sides as well.
"How does it feel, Hybrid? To be in the presence of a real deity? Thanks to the Devil's Halo, I have achieved power far beyond anything my father could dream us to reach! I have exceeded him and become the One True Omega God of this Multiverse! The One True God of all reality! With this power, I shall vanquish your existence from this world, before I take my place as Ultimate Ruler of the Universe. So, says the Multiverse's only god, the first Fused Monkuman, the Destroyer of Mortals and the entire Multiverse, the Demon God of the Kanarian race; Galutro Kan!" he bellowed in his unified voices to the masses of the Universe as his heavenly redish pink aura erupted around his body.
Xiriko:"Doesn't matter if you have Omega God status or not! I'm going to send you back to the depths of Hell and ensure you never return!" he exclaimed as he powered up all the way to his SH4 state.
Galutro Kan:"An amusing gest, and you believe you can best the definitive God with that Form?"
Xiriko:"Well, not exactly!"
Following this, the Mangham leapt into the air whilst slowly crossing his forearms over one another in front of his face and bawling his hands into fists, right before he threw his arms down by his hips and began screaming at the top of his voice as his energy began to sky-rocket. All of a sudden, his aura shifted from golden to bright blue, and soon his entire body followed suit and transformed the SH4 into nothing but a pure blue figure. As he continued to scream and raise his energy, the fused deity managed to catch a glimpse of his foe's body changing, with his once humungous quills slowly shrinking to the same state as his base form, whilst his hair and bangs grew out tremendously.
After a full minute of powering up and with one mighty roar from the bottom of his lungs, a devastating blue explosion of light erupted from the Mangham's being and rocketed into the skies above, shaking Mobius and even the entire Universe at a devastating rate that would've ripped them apart had the power not been contained and controlled. Despite the presence of power he stood against, Galutro did not flinch or raise his guard, only stared into the light awaiting his enemy to remerge. Before long, the light subsided, and left behind a pure blue being whose details could not be made out, though it wasn't long before cracks began to spread across his body, and pieces of the light broke off like magical rocks before disappearing and revealing Xiriko's new transformation.
The Mangham's fur was now a bright blue exactly like the Super Hybrid God and had even turned his arms that same colour whilst the colour of his chest had turned black, resulting in his furry muzzle also turning black whilst his nose was the same blue as his skin. His hair and bangs had remained the same length and shape, though had now turned bright blue whilst the tips of his bangs and quills were now black. His quills had shrunken from their previously humungous state yet retained their style, now only reaching his waist instead of his knees. The 'X' scar at the centre of his forehead was black and now accompanied by two single lines of the same colour across each of his eyes, which were revealed to have bright green irises upon opening.
"This is the Form that will send you to your grave!" he exclaimed in his unified voice, right as his aura grew even stronger with a simple tense of his body.
Galutro:"And just what is this transformation?"
Xiriko:"The combination of Hariko Mangham's Super Hybrid God with Xiro Mangham's Super Hybrid Titan. Super Hybrid God Titan would be too much of a mouthful, so I'll shorten it down to Super Hybrid Godtan"
Galutro:"Hmhmhm. Another ant crawls from the crevices of Mobius. No matter! You shall be vanquished from this world!"
With his words, Kan extended his right index and middle finger like he was forming a gun with his hand, and channelled enough of his KI to produce a bright glowing red and orange ball of energy at the end of his fingers that resembled a miniature Sun. That blast of KI quickly grew to be not so miniature as Galutro drew his arm back and readied his blast to be fired, causing the small fireball to spontaneously grow to be 10 feet tall and wide at the tip of his fingers whilst radiating enough contained power to wipe away a galaxy.
"TASTE MY GODLY BAKED SPHERE! DIE!" he exclaimed as he thrust his arm forward and pointed his fingers at his opponent, launching his technique fourth.
On its short approach to its opponent, the sun-like KI blast instantly grew to be 80 feet greater in height and width than previously, and the power it once contained nearly doubled as a result and was heading directly for the Mangham to experience. However, in a mere split second, Xiriko managed to swing his right leg up in the form of a roundhouse kick, collide his kick against the side of the Demon Crusher, and send it sky-rocketing off Mobius into the deepest depths of space, where it then exploded and appeared as nothing but a mere shooting star in the sky.
Xiriko:"Now, do you understand what you're up against, Mister Omega God?"
The Fused Hybrid then extended his right arm out and pointed his palm to face his opponent, right before he channelled his KI to produce an electrified blue ball of energy at the end of his palm that quickly grew in power and size to the point it could wipe out multiple Solar Systems despite only being the size of a beach ball.
"BIG BANG…BAKUHAT…!" he chanted as he pumped more and more KI into his attack, causing it to grow ever so slightly bigger as time passed on.
Just when the Fused Monkuman expected his foe to unleash his attack and prepared himself to either dodge or deflect it, he was caught off guard when his fellow deity suddenly disappeared from sight, his energy completely untraceable even to him. The Destroyer looked around himself several times in an attempt to find him, but to no avail, as it seemed the lower-class warrior had literally disappeared off the face of Mobius. However, a moment later, the Omega God was given a clear idea as to his opponent's location, when the Super Hybrid Godtan appeared directly in front of him, his attack now fully charged and aimed right for his enemy's chest.
Galutro:"What?!"
Xiriko:"SU!" he exclaimed as he unleashed his attack.
Upon its release, the BBB expanded out into a humungous 80-foot-tall beam of KI that enveloped Galutro into its grasp as it rocketed across the landscape, demolishing everything in its path with little remorse or control, before eventually the beam raced across the edge of the Planet and rocketed out into space where it increased in size even more and disappeared into the depths of the galaxy.
When the smoke cleared, the energy beam had left in its wake a humungous tracer of where it had travelled, a crater stretching for miles that had brought devastation in its wake the likes of which could possibly have not been seen for generations. At the start of this tracer, stood the Mangham himself, his arm still outstretched from his BBB but was slowly lowered as he witnessed Kan backflip out of the smoke leftover by his attack and stationed himself in the air above his foe.
Galutro:"Grrr…impressive. Perhaps you aren't a mere bug afterall! But alas, you have stained the true God with your pitiful technique! That is a sin worthy of death!"
The mouthless monster then raised his left arm ever so slightly so that his hand was in line with his head, and upon extending his index finger and pointing it towards the sky, he drew a small circle in the air with his finger and some red energy that leaked out of his palm. Just seconds later, a huge red circle around 10 feet tall and wide appeared just above the deity, and as he outstretched his arm and pointed his finger at the combined deity, he exclaimed "BLADES OF JUDGEMENT!" before the ring above his head suddenly began to fire off hundreds of thousands of dagger-shaped KI blasts towards his opponent.
Using his quick reflexes, the Mangham deflected each and every blade that was headed straight for him with incredible accuracy and timing, never allowing a single one of Kan's attacks to catch him off-guard and do him harm. Unfortunately, as the seconds passed, the intensity of the attacks increased, eventually to the point the lower-class warrior was having to push himself to the max in order to counter whatever came his way. Before long, he made a mistake, and one of the Destroyer's daggers stabbed him in the foot and sent him hurtling backwards out of control. When the Freedom Fighter finally managed to stand up, he found the blade had stabbed his foot into the floor and would not let him free no matter how hard he tried.
Xiriko:"Damnit! COME ON!" he exclaimed as he furiously pulled at his foot for freedom.
Galutro:"BEGONE!" he exclaimed as he began charging towards his opponent, his left fist raised to deliver a devastating blow.
Xiriko:"HELL NO!" he screamed as he flared up his aura.
With his temporary increase in power, the SHG ripped his foot free from the ground, the blade still lodged in his foot, and preformed a backflip on the spot whilst smacking his stabbed foot straight up into the Omega God's jaw, forcing the Fused Monkuman back into the air whilst the Fused Hybrid preformed a 180 spin in the middle of his flip and land back on his feet with his back now facing his airborne opponent.
"Looks like I'll have to play this safer than I thought…but this Fusion can only last so long, especially using this amount of power…"
Galutro:"You insolent worm! You dare to harm me further! ANOTHER SIN FOR WHICH YOU SHALL BE PUNISHED!" he exclaimed as he thrust both his arms forward and opened his fists apart as two balls of pure red and black electrified KI appeared at the end of his palms.
"PLANET CRUSHERS!" he exclaimed as he fired off the two blasts towards his opponent, causing them to instantly expand into 60-foot-tall and wide bombs of devastation.
In response, the Mangham tightened each of his fists and channelled his KI, right as multiple spirals of multi-coloured and transparent KI washed over his body and disappeared as he began charging towards Kan, easily phasing his body straight through the two Planet Crushers as they raced off into the distance and detonated high in the atmosphere, shaking the entire Planet and bringing many areas to ruin. Just when he was about to reach Galutro, who in turn readied himself for attack, Xiriko once again disappeared from sight, catching the villain off guard once more.
Galutro:"Where did-?!" was all he managed to ask before he was abruptly cut off.
As if from nowhere, a ghost-like version of the Fused Hybrid's voice bellowed "PUNISHER DRIVE!" directly into the villain's ears, right before hundreds of those same transparent spirals of multi-coloured KI burst out of the air and ripped through multiple parts of the Fused Monkuman's body, leaving with him the pain of his body being torn apart despite never receiving a single hole or rip. After a full 10 seconds of being pummelled by these KI spirals, the Omega God was given a brief respite to regain his breathe, at the same time the spirals that left his body came together to re-form the Freedom Fighter directly behind him, right before the SHG span around and dealt his fellow deity a spinning hook kick to the ribs.
On contact, it felt as if the mouthless monster's ribs were shattered on impact, as his body was thrown from the sky and crashed face-first into the concrete, where it remained for several moments before the villain eventually managed to push himself back to his feet and turned back to face his opponent, struggling to regain his breathe as he glared at his fellow God. What started as a few gasps for air soon transformed into a maniacal laughter the likes of which would give any child nightmares and make grown men cower in fear, though only seemed to confuse the combined deity as to his enemy's intentions.
Galutro:"It seems you aren't entirely useless! You're packing more of a punch that you did in your previous Form, though that begs the question; do you think it'll be enough to stop me?!"
Xiriko:"Enough of your quiveling, god! Hurry up already! You've yet to squash the ant that's kicking your ass"
After letting out a low growl, Galutro thrust his right arm forward and exclaimed "VANISHING BEAM!" before a black and purple cored beam of KI erupted from his palm and raced across the landscape, forcing Xiriko to leap into the air as the beam tore right through the ground he had stood on and created a trench in its wake, right before it travelled all the way to the end of the city before climaxing in a large dome explosion that covered a portion of the land.
Whilst distracted by the devastation caused by the explosion, the Mangham was caught off-guard as Kan launched himself into the air and drop kicked his foe's barely raised guard and continued to grind his heels into his opponent as the two touched down in a further part of the city and created a humungous explosion of smoke that grew larger and covered more and more of Soleanna the further the two-deity's dragged themselves. Eventually, a bright blue beam of light containing the Fused Hybrid burst free of the smoke, and after racing around one building to gain some distance, the blue light raced back towards the smoke as it dispersed and revealed the Fused Monkuman, right before the light disappeared and the two Gods became locked in a heated skirmish.
Amidst their high intensity struggle of punches and kicks, the combined deity managed to swing his right leg up and flick it out into his opponent's cheek in his trademark roundhouse kick, and whilst it did force a small spit of saliva and blood from the mouthless monster, it only served to fuel his rage further as he retaliated with a left uppercut the Freedom Fighter leaned back to avoid. However, despite his initial attack missing, the Destroyer managed to land a blow after he span on the spot and then thrust his right leg out in a sidekick which collided straight with the lower-class warrior's chest and took the wind from his lungs whilst launching him across the area.
Luckily, just before he could collide with the Soleannan palace, the Mangham regained control of his body and forced it to a halt, right before he was forced to ascend higher in the air as Kan span on the spot once more and slung his right arm out, unleashing a wave of KI that split apart the palace and caused another dome-like explosion to cover a portion of the city. Using the same arm that unleashed the KI wave, Galutro blocked an incoming left front kick courtesy of Xiriko using his forearm, and then shifted the same arm again to perform an inner block to stop his opponent's multiple roundhouse kicks off his opposite leg.
Unfortunately, whilst he was so distracted with blocking kicks from the SHG's right leg, the Omega God had involuntarily left himself open when his opponent spontaneously switched which leg he was attacking with and was dealt a powerful left roundhouse kick to the neck that temporarily disrupted his nervous system and left him defenceless. With his opponent off-guard, the lower-class warrior grabbed the back of his enemy's head with his left hand, and then proceeded to rush straight down to the ground with the villain in tow, right before he finally smashed the Destroyer face-first into the floor where his impact created a 6 feet deep crater that was double the size in terms of width.
Xiriko:"Stay down, if you know what's good for ya!" he ordered as he tightened his grip around his enemy's face.
Galutro Kan:"UNHAND ME YOU FILTHY HYBRID!" he exclaimed as his body began to radiate with a bright pink glow.
All of a sudden, Galutro's body was lifted from the crater by some unknown force, throwing Xiriko away from him as a result, right before a humungous explosion of bright pink KI erupted from Kan's body, grew to consume half of Soleanna, and carried the Mangham flying across the landscape after the explosion collided with his body. When the blast subsided, the lower-class warrior managed to regain control of his body and grind himself to a halt, right before the Destroyer teleported in front of him and slung his right fist out to attack, and so he retaliated by thrusting his left fist forward to meet his fellow deity's strike.
Their clash of fists resulted in their two auras flaring up around their bodies in a wild dance around the other, at the same time a humungous explosion of white KI surrounded the two combatants as they summoned every last ounce of their strength in an attempt to overpower the other. Their struggle quickly began to build up power the likes of which could barely be contained, as humungous chunks began to be ripped from the ground and hover in the air around the two, at the same time an earthquake powerful enough to collapse surrounding buildings and shake the entire Planet took place due to their ongoing skirmish.
As the two Gods pressed their fists further against one another, they each began to unleash a mighty battle cry as their power slowly began to grow and grow, intensifying the skirmish further and causing the surrounding area to be affected even worse than previously. Eventually, the build up of power between them finally climaxed, resulting in all the white energy around them being absorbed into a single point between their fists, right before it erupted in an even greater dome-like explosion that was half blue and half pink, as the two titans burst out the top of it engaged in another skirmish of rapid fire punches and kicks.
This skirmish was cut short fairly quickly, as the Fused Monkuman managed to gain the upper hand and strike his opponent in the chest with his left fist, the resulting impact sending the Fused Hybrid flying half way around the globe before he managed to grind himself to a halt in Station Square. Control regained over himself, the Freedom Fighter took a moment to crack his neck and roll both of his shoulders as he watched the villain land just a few feet away from him.
Xiriko:"You know, you're hitting a hell of a lot harder than you were before. Have I struck a nerve?"
Galutro:"HHHHHHHHEEEEERRRRRUUUUUUGGGGGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHH!" he growled as his eyes suddenly began to glow incredibly bright.
During said growl, the glow emitting from the mouthless monster's eyes suddenly exploded in the form of a humungous bright red beam 3 times his own height and raced down the streets towards its target of the combined deity whilst digging a large trench-like destructive trail in the concrete as it travelled. The beam collided with the SHG's raised cross block and consumed him into its grasp for a grand total of 2 seconds before the beam climaxed in another mighty explosion which took out half of Station Square easily and left the Omega God's foe stuck in the side of a still standing building, cracks spreading around the point the Freedom Fighter's body had collided with the rubble.
With little effort, Xiriko pried his body free from its current predicament, and then with the same ease, teleported out of the way as Galutro came rushing in to strike with his right fist. As Kan struggled to regain his composure after his attack had missed, he was caught off-guard when the Mangham suddenly reappeared directly in front of him, the surprise leaving him open long enough for his fellow deity to land a powerful roundhouse kick to his jaw, with said kick having more kick to it due to the blue aura surrounding his leg. The blow to his head severally disoriented the Destroyer, long enough at least to allow the lower-class warrior to follow up his first kick and land both a spinning hook kick off his left leg and a second roundhouse kick off his right, both colliding with the villain's face.
Following his roundhouse, the combined deity flicked his left leg out in a roundhouse kick that struck the mouthless monster in the ribs and sent him flying down the street, nearly reaching the ocean if it hadn't been for the Fused Hybrid, who reappeared at a spot in the air his opponent was aimed to reach, and thrust his right leg out in a sidekick which collided with the Fused Monkuman's back and launched him back from whence he came. With his incredible speed, the SHG managed to catch up to his opponent and fly around in front of him, right before he thrust his left elbow downwards and slammed it into the Omega God's forehead, sending him on a crash course straight down into a skyscraper.
The villain's body crashed through every single floor of the skyscraper, tearing apart everything in his path, his impact literally splitting the building in two and causing it to fall further and further apart the closer and closer the God drew to reaching the ground. When he finally reached said ground and the building had collapsed into piles of rubble around him, his collision created a spiderweb of cracks throughout the floor and caused the chunks of ground within said spiderweb to burst out of their place in the floor and carry the villains body with them.
Riding atop a pillar of this rising floor was Xiriko himself, who upon the pillars reaching their maximum height and aligning him perfectly with his opponent, thrust his right leg upwards and struck Galutro directly under the chin with enough force to, quite literally, send him to the moon. If one was watching Mobius from afar, they would witness a bright pink light leave its atmosphere and collide with the moon in a bright explosion of light the same colour. The deity's body was dragged through the moon's surface due to the force at which he'd been thrown, leaving behind a massive trail of destruction and rubble from where he had travelled, before finally the God collided against a large formation and came to a halt as it collapsed around him in a heap of smoke.
Xiriko:"What's wrong?! Is that all the power an Omega God has?" he yelled from Mobius' surface, somehow loud enough to reach his opponent all the way on the moon and anger him even more.
Suddenly, the sun became eclipsed by the moon unexpectedly, and in an usual turn of events, it seemed as if the moon spontaneously began to grow in size, quickly overshadowing the sun with its seemingly gargantuan size. As it seemed to grow bigger, a massive shadow cast over the Planet and shrouded it in darkness, and if one stared hard enough, the details of the moon could be made out quite clearly, including the bright pink aura that surrounded the astronomical body. However, due to said staring that allowed the moon to be seen clearer, they realised that the moon wasn't getting bigger, it was getting closer, all thanks to the mighty efforts of the villain who was pushing the natural satellite with all his might.
Xiriko:"Huh? Wait, WHAT?!" he exclaimed upon realising what was transpiring, and realising the moon was mere moments away from hitting Mobius and wiping out all life on it.
"Well, that's just great!" he jokingly remarked as he flared up his aura once more.
"KA…ME…" he began to chant as he slammed his right wrist on top of his left wrist and clawed his hands whilst drawing them down by his right hip, right before a bright blue ball of KI appeared in the space between his hands with several thin beams of light exploding out of it.
Galutro:"FACE DAMNATION, PEST!" he exclaimed as he gave one last push against the moon, sending it on a one-way course to the Planet below.
Xiriko:"HA…ME…HHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" he roared as he thrust his hands upwards and unleashed a beam of KI easily over 100 feet tall and wide.
Just mere seconds before the natural satellite could enter Mobius' atmosphere and begin its destruction of the Planet, the Fused Hybrid's humungous beam of KI raced fourth at speeds easily past Mach 20 and collided against the astronomical body being controlled by the Fused Monkuman. The two forces pushed against one another for some time, the outcome of their battle becoming uncertain for either all those who bared witness to it, though after summoning one last boost of KI to funnel into his technique, the Freedom Fighter's Kamehameha managed to overpower the Moon, and ceased its charge towards Mobius by splitting it into two lunar halves.
With one mighty leapt into the air, the Mangham began his charge towards his space-bound opponent, slowly charging KI into his left fist as he left the atmosphere and drew closer and closer to Kan's position. Upon exiting the atmosphere and racing past the two halves of the moon, which his comrades had raced to catch and move away from the Planet, Xiriko thrust his fist forward and exclaimed "DRAGON FIST!" right before a humungous golden KI dragon erupted from his fist, absorbing him into it in the process, and began dancing across the stars towards Galutro, as he raised his left hand to the sky and created a humungous 100-foot-tall and wide black and pink cored KI bomb.
Galutro:"DIVINE VANISHING CRUSHER!" he exclaimed as he tossed his humungous blast towards the Dragon, consuming it into its grasp.
"To the depths of Hell…HYBRID!" he growled as he intensified his attacks power in an attempt to destroy his foe.
With one mighty scream from the bottom of his very being, the SHG intensified his own technique ten-fold, prompting the humungous Dragon swirling and flying around inside the DVC to grow in size ever so slightly, and then proceed to charge head first through the KI bomb, shattering the blast like glass that scattered across the galaxy, as it began to rocket towards the Omega God whilst growing bigger and bigger the closer it drew to its target.
However, just before he could be consumed by the larger than life energy beast, the Destroyer channelled an aura of pink KI around his left forearm, and proceeded to swing his arm from right to left across the creature's neck, the energy around his hand literally causing the KI Dragon to get beheaded, right before he thrust his right hand forward and unleashed a humungous wave-like burst of pink KI into the heart of the Dragon Fist, obliterating what was left of the energy beast as the lower-class warrior re-emerged from the depths of his own attack and grinded his body to a halt just a few meters from his opponent.
Xiriko:"Well that's a first…" he remarked as he span around and witnessed the last remnants of his previous attack disappear.
"…you're stronger than I thought! I'm surprised!" he complimented as he turned back to face his foe, genuine astonishment in his voice.
Galutro:"Watch thy tongue, trash. A God like me needs no approval from such a terrible excuse for a deity" he stated as he rubbed his left hand and then tightened it into a fist.
Xiriko:"Yeah, yeah. Talk big while you still can, but if you take comfort in thinking this is my true strength, you're sorely mistaken!"
Galutro:"Come on then!"
Unfortunately, the Omega God would soon come to regret his words, as mere nano-seconds passed after he finished his sentence, the SHG suddenly appeared above his opponent, a blazing blue aura surrounding his right fist that soon collided with his fellow Gods cheek, and sent the deity crashing down to the Planet below, landing directly at the centre of a large volcano in the Eruption Ruin Zone.
With his opponent disabled, the Mangham drew his left hand back by the side of his head and slammed the back of his other hand into his palm, as a bright purple blast of KI appeared at the end of his right hand whilst an aura of similar colour flared up around his body. As the power of his attack began to grow and grow, strikes of lightening the same colour as his technique began to spark off his body and across the stars, as he now began to generate power great enough to wipe out a Solar System, all contained in a single point that was prime for release.
Xiriko:"SUPER…GALICK…GUN!" he exclaimed as he thrust his hands forward, firing off a single thin beam of electrified purple KI over 100 feet tall and wide.
At speeds reaching Mach 27, the Super Galick Gun re-entered the Mobius atmosphere, crashed down from the skies above like a meteorite, and began its final descent towards its target. Said target being the Destroyer stuck at the very bottom of the biggest volcano in the Zone, and was unable to move out of the way or defend himself as the lower-class warrior's attack plunged itself into the lava, consumed the deity into its grasp, and began to pummel and disintegrate portions of his body with its incredible power.
The SGG caused the landscape itself to quake and shatter unlike anything the Planet experienced on a daily basis, causing numerous portions of the zone to crumble and collapse under the pressure of merely being in the presence of such power. Eventually, the attack reached its climax as its victim's anger reached its breaking point, and as the one true God unleashed a mighty scream of rage and burst of power to free himself, the beam of KI he had been consumed in exploded, causing numerous smaller beams of energy to burst fourth from the ground and rocket into the air, before they all combined to form one massive dome-like explosion of purple KI that grew big enough to consume continents and be seen from space.
Once said explosion subsided, a humungous bright red beam erupted from the depths of the somehow still standing volcano and raced into the skies above the now devastated landscape, as the outline of a trembling and scorched figure emerged from the light and floated above the destroyed battlefield. This figure was of course Galutro, his clothing torn and in tatters whilst several parts of his body had been left burnt and bleeding, all the while his body shook and trembled with each breathe he took, due to a combination of exhaustion and rage. After inspecting himself and seeing how much harm a filthy hybrid had caused him, his fists clenched even tighter with rage and were thrown down by his waist as his power increased ten-fold with his anger, the beam growing bigger around him.
Galutro:"NO! THE IDEA OF THESE HYBRIDS OVERPOWERING ME IS BLASTHPHEMOUS! I AM A GOD AMONG MEN! NAY…I AM A GOD AMONG GODS! I HAVE SURPASSED MY FATHER AND HIS FELLOW OMEGA GODS THOUSANDS OF TIMES OVER! I REFUSE TO SUFFER…THIS…HUMILATION!" he bellowed to the non-existent masses as his power shook the entire galaxy.
At that moment, back on the Shamar Desert…
…with a quick use of Instant Transmission, the Freedom Fighter had transported himself back to the original battleground, at a spot on the ground directly below the massive tear in reality. After taking a moment to sense the surrounding area, he felt a wave of his opponent's power wash over him and began to think on his next move.
Xiriko:"Looks like that bought me a couple seconds…there's not much time left in this Fusion…and given the amount of power I've exerted, I'd say I have even less than usual! Time to finish this!"
After charging his KI to its maximum potential, the Mangham threw both arms out to his sides like a starfish and opened his fists, as a ball of bright blue KI surrounded by small waves of golden energy appeared in each of his palms and outgrew them to the point his hands became consumed by these blasts of KI. Following this, the Fused Hybrid slammed his wrists together, fusing the two balls of energy into one slightly bigger blast, right before he drew his hands down by his left hip and clawed his hands to better surround and condense the ball of KI between his hands as he began to apply more and more power into the technique, with small sparks of golden lighting beginning to strike out from and around the attack as it grew stronger and stronger.
Galutro:"IT IS TIME TO FINISH THOSE HYBRIDS, AND THIS PATHETIC PLANET, ONCE AND FOR ALL!" he exclaimed as he rose from the volcano and began racing across the Planet to meet his foe for their final confrontation.
Upon finally reaching the location he felt his opponents power rising and rising beyond all levels of comprehension, Kan halted himself a few miles above the desert, staring down at the Mangham as he continued to gather power, all the while the deity could feel the unnerving reality shaking presence of the portal to Hell behind him. As Galutro watched his enemy's attack grow closer and closer to completion, he witnessed the very earth beneath Xiriko's feet shatter and crack for miles, chunks of land be ripped from their place in the ground, mountains collapse and fall, even the very lightening bursting out from his technique carve small tracers in the devastated floor.
Galutro:"A CHEAP TRICK LIKE THAT WILL GET YOU NOWHERE…HYBRID!"
Xiriko:"THEN PROVE IT, GOD! TAKE THIS! FINAL KAMEHAMEHA!" he exclaimed as he thrust his hands upwards towards his foe and unleashed a ginormous world shattering beam of bright blue KI, surrounded by waves of strikes of lightening-like golden energy, easily over 120 feet tall and travelling at speeds past Mach 29 towards its target.
Knowing, should he be hit by the combined deity's oncoming attack, he would be annihilated, the mouthless monster began to charge his power to its highest levels in order to counteract his foes technique. In need of more power despite his godly capabilities to survive the Final Kamehameha, the villain began to call upon the very energy of the tear in reality to empower him, causing tentacle like waves of darkness and Demonic KI to burst forth from the portal and absorb themselves into the God, causing his power to sky-rocket and surround him in two auras; his usual reddish pink aura surrounded in its own aura of black KI.
Then, with this new power in hand, the Omega God unleashed one mighty roar from the bottom of his being and threw his hands forward to catch the Final Kamehameha just as it reached him, a bright explosion of light erupting across the sky before quickly subsiding and transforming into a massive war of auras across the skies of Mobius. The Mighty and Titanic bright blue and golden wrapped light of the lower-class warrior's technique duking it out with the Heavenly and Demonic reddish pink and black enveloped aura of the Destroyer. The mere contact between the mouthless monster's hands and the combined deity's attack caused sparks of golden lightening and beams of black cored and purple auraed beams to seep through the cracks in his fingers and ripple across the skies.
As their clash began to intensify, the Planet their battle took place on began to feel its effects. As if the Shamar Desert and the surrounding landscape wasn't already devastated enough, what mountains, rock formations and land masses still stood began to break, collapse, shatter and re-level around them. Cracks spread for miles across the floor around the Fused Hybrid's standing point, whilst clouds began to disperse around the Fused Monkuman, his power even causing the sky itself to temporarily turn purple due to the power he received from Lucifer's Halo and the Portal. They were at a clear stand point, the unstoppable force that was the combined deity's attack had met the immovable object of the mouthless monster's fist. However, the balance suddenly shifted.
Channelling the very KI he was unleashing into a single point, Xiriko stepped backwards from his previous standing point, and left in his place a bright blue ball of KI surrounded by golden strikes of lightening that continued to blast the Final Kamehameha in the sky towards its target at a constant level, never constantly rising as it had when its creator had previously been funnelling more power into its techniques. Then, with another use of Instant Transmission, the Freedom Fighter positioned himself in the air, just a few miles away from Galutro with his back to him, the villain himself not even noticing his enemy's presence, though he was noticing the change in the attack he held back and was attempting to figure out its source.
"Now's my chance!" remarked the Fused Warrior as he raised his left hand to the sky.
Suddenly, tiny particles of energy began to appear out of thin air and gather in the space above the God's palm, slowly but surely forming a growing ball of rainbow KI above his hand that radiated such a divine energy it was unrivalled by anything before it. The mere activation of such energy upon reaching its full power released several shockwaves powerful enough to shatter ground many miles below it, blow away clouds surrounding the creator, and even purify the sky and turn it a heavenly white. It was these shockwaves that finally allowed Kan to catch onto his enemy's intentions, though by the time he managed to turn his head and identify the Mangham, it was already too late.
Galutro:"WHAT?!" was all he could manage to bellow before it was too late.
Following this, the lower-class warrior crushed the rainbow blast in his hand and kept his fist tight above his head, right before he turned his head just the slightest bit so that his eyes locked with the Destroyer's and stared him hard enough in the soul to shake him, as he watched his fellow God prepare his technique.
Xiriko:"SOUL PUNISHER!" he screamed as he span around and tossed the scattered remains of the rainbow blast towards his foe.
With no way to counter the attack, the Omega God was helpless as the scattered remains of the KI blast impacted his body and dug their way through his being to his very Soul, leaving him frozen still for a few moments before the attack finally took effect. As the name of the technique intended, the villain felt his literal soul split and be disintegrated at the seams, erased from existence as the rest of his body began to ripple and tear itself apart from the energy destroying him from the inside. Beams of white KI began to burst from several parts of his body, burning him from the inside out and forcing a scream of agony from his lungs as a humungous hole exploded from his back and leaving him to call upon every last ounce of his strength to remain alive and barely hold back the FK.
To finish his foe once and for all, the Super Hybrid Godtan teleported back to the ground, captured the ball of KI producing his technique back in his hands, drew it back down by his hip as he channelled every last ounce of power had into the blast, before he thrust it forward once more with a final battle cry and caused his already humungous Final Kamehameha to double in both scale and power on its approach to the weakened God.
And then, with little effort, the Fused Hybrid's powered up Final Kamehameha overwhelmed his opponents already broken guard, consumed him into its grasp, and carried him into/through the tear in reality whilst working in tangent with the Soul Punisher to tear the Fused Monkuman apart. Nothing but screaming was heard from the Omega God as his body was both burnt to ashes and then erased from existence by the Super Hybrid Godtan's combined attack, eventually leaving behind nothing but the Devil's Halo from its former holder's body, though before long that same demonic item was shattered and destroyed by the Final Kamehameha and Soul Punisher's efforts.
Once its target was destroyed and the source of its power had been dealt with also, the two attacks finally climaxed in a humungous explosion of light that not only obliterated whatever remains were left of their opponent, but simultaneously grew so big that it not only managed to reach Hell on the other side of the portal and allow the villain's that had been returned there to experience yet another painful death at the hands of the Freedom Fighters, but also managed to grow big enough to consume the tear in reality and erase it from existence. Reality was returned to normal, Mobius and the Universe was saved from its otherworldly threats, and the Battle of Hell had been won.
His energy now used up and no more reason to stick around, the combined deity relaxed himself from his previous attacking position, and then proceeded to stand up straight and look out over the now rising Sun of Mobius for a last time before he vanished. Content with the fact the everything and everyone was now safe, the Fused Hybrid allowed a last chuckle to escape his lips, right before he was enveloped in a bright white aura and split apart once more into the two Hybrids that created him. It wasn't long before exhaustion overtook the brothers after their long and hard-fought day, as they quickly found themselves falling backwards to lie down and attempt to catch their breath whilst sharing a celebratory laughter with each other.
Xiro:"And that…" he started as he raised his right fist.
Hariko:"…is how you kill a God" he finished with his trademark chuckle as he met his brothers right fist with his left fist in a celebratory bro-fist, and the two were joined by the rest of their comrades.
Later, in Tyrus' Dimension…
…after a battle on the level of intensity they had withstood that day, the celebrations shared amongst the Freedom Fighters were equally intense and hearty them self. The group laughed, drank, danced, and ate well that evening. Even Tyrus and Ujun joined the celebrations, indulging in the occasional wine and dance with their mortal companions. It was truly a reward well deserved after such a fight.
Cobran:"Seems blowing it up wasn't such a bad idea…"
Hariko:"Ahehe! Guess so!"
Xiro:"Did either of us actually know that would happen?"
Hariko:"I don't think so…unless Xiriko knew it would happen?"
Harikan:"Guess it's a matter best saved for another day"
A small distance away from the festivities, there stood Abukara, leant against a nearby pillar simply observing everyone's joy, content to stand back and simply bask in the happiness of others as he readjusted to being alive. His alone time was soon interrupted, however, as he felt a figure lean alongside him on the same pillar, that figure being the psychokinetic daughter of the Hybrid God.
Mephilisa:"So, you're the Brikon my father used to talk so much about"
Brikon:"That would be me, yes. You are Mephilisa, correct?"
Mephilisa:"That's me. You clotheslined me through a city first time we met"
Brikon:"Oh…sorry about that" he nervously laughed as he scratched the back of his neck.
Mephilisa:"Eh, its fine. Besides, after how fondly my dad used to talk about you and how sad he got when he got to what happened to you, I don't think I can really hold any bad blood against you, even if my neck still aches every now and then"
Brikon:"Heh, just like your father…"
Mephilisa:"I get that a lot" she added as she took a sip of her drink.
Brikon:"It's a true compliment, not just a passing comment"
Mephilisa:"I know, I know. My fathers is unlike anyone I've ever, or probably will ever, know"
Brikon:"Indeed. He is a man whose kindness knows no bounds. He's the same as I knew him all those years ago"
Mephilisa:"You two were close, weren't you?"
Brikon:"Closer than he was with any of his family at the time, even closer than he is with his friends nowadays. He was one of the few people that actually wanted and did form a bond with me"
Mephilisa:"So…how did everything change?"
Brikon:"He never told you? What am I saying? Of course, he didn't. It's one of the few things he's truly ashamed of about himself, one that he keeps to himself as not to relive the torment he grows through from his decision. I was the most feared person in our race besides the High Chief. The prophesised Legendary Super Hybrid that would bring waste to all life as we knew it. Even if I was just a child, and the most pacifist member of the Hybrid Army, everyone feared me for the day I'd finally snap. One day, I did. Someone threatened our people, our way of life, and nearly killed all those I had come to think of as family. Something inside me that I had hoped I'd never have to use exploded, and before I knew it, the threat was gone, his blood staining my hands"
Mephilisa:"Good Chaos…what happened?"
Brikon:"That was all the High Chief needed to finally get rid of me. He couldn't have done anything until I did an act like this. What he didn't know was that me and Hariko had been training to help me control my power. For the most part, I had, only the slightest bit of control lost in the fight. But he didn't care. He sentenced to have my family and I exiled into the furthest end of space where we couldn't harm anyone. I turned to Hariko, the one person who had always had my side since the beginning, the one man I knew truly cared for me above all else, but…he didn't do anything…the one person that could've saved me…didn't…forced to turn his back and leave me to my fate…he severed all ties with me…didn't do a thing when my mother was killed and when I was shot into space…"
Mephilisa:"I can't imagine him doing that…or having to go through that…"
Brikon:"I couldn't…I only found out after I died that he had been forced to do all those things…his entire family and friends threatened with execution if he stood by me…I don't blame him for what he did…put in the same position, I might've done the same. He did what he had to do, and in the end, he kept his promise and made things right. I have my family back, a life to live, a better future ahead of me than the massacre I was destined to act out"
Mephilisa:"He always does keep his promises. I'm glad he kept his one to yours. I've always felt there's been something missing in this group, something missing from my father's life that always kept him feeling slightly alone and ashamed. Now I see that thing is you, and I couldn't be happier to have you in both his and our lives" she stated as she placed a hand on his shoulder.
Brikon:"I thank you for your words, child. And I am glad to have talked with you. Speaking of my past and getting it off my chest…helps bring me closer to feeling I belong with these people again"
Mephilisa:"No problem. How about we join everyone else? They brought out more food, and frankly I'm starving"
Brikon:"I think I'm in the same boat. The food up in Heaven is nice and all, but eating doesn't exactly feel the same as when you're alive"
Mephilisa:"Don't tell my father that" she chuckled.
Brikon:"I'm sure he already knows, and despises the fact" he laughed back.
Abigail:"Quite the wound you have here, sweetie. I'm surprised you managed to last so long with just one hand" she remarked as she was in the middle of healing the fake-Hybrids severed arm.
Harishin:"A great effort, to be sure, but a worthwhile one to prove my loyalty to this new…family of mine, as my-your son…permitted me to call it" he caught himself, wishing not to push his luck.
Abigail:"Please, dear, you're more than welcome to consider him your son, considering he technically is" she commented as she restored the fake-Mangham's hand.
Harishin:"I thank you, Miss Abigail, both for your kindness in welcoming me to this group and healing my injuries" he stated as he rubbed his new hand and relished in the feeling.
Abigail:"Think nothing of it. After all, you are a clone of my husband, a man I hold very close to my heart. You have demonstrated that same desire to do good I have witnessed in him for so many years, that same desire that made me fall in love with him and has remained all these years. To me, that automatically puts you in a similar position to the man I married. I believe, so long as you continue to demonstrate this desire and act upon the promises you have made to cleanse your sins, you are entitled all the same to the family, friends and love Hariko himself has earned over the years" she explained as she placed a hand upon his newly healed one.
Harishin:"Everything you have described is what I have sought since my inception in this Universe. I hereby promise to you on this day, Miss Abigail, to hold true to the promises I have already made, and to be a force for good in this Universe. I promise to make a change and create the ideal utopia for all living beings throughout the galaxy, not only so that I myself can experience the true Freedom I have seeked and enjoy a life I was not destined to have, but also so that the atrocities I have committed are made up for, giving people a chance to live happy lives" he proclaimed as he held her hands within his own and imparted a small kiss upon the back of her hand.
Abigail:"I'll hold you to that. And please, just call me Abigail"
Harishin:"As you wish" he chuckled as he gave a mock bow.
Abigail:"Hmhmhm! Would you care to dance?"
Harishin:"It would be my honour" he stated as the two made their way to the others upon the dance floor.
Dracton:"So, the tear in reality has been restored then?"
Ujun:"Indeed. The Combination of Xiriko's Final Kamehameha and Soul Punisher managed to erase the tear without aggravating it. Reality has remained stable, and the threat has been eliminated"
Tyrus:"I thought I might have to get involved at one point, but once again you Freedom Fighters have demonstrated why you are the Protectors of the Universe"
Alician:"Just doing our duty"
Tyrus:"And a duty well done indeed"
Xanaks:"Of course, there's still the Omega Gods to worry about. We have no idea if those in Universe 6 have managed to pacify their 3 Omega Gods until the Prophecy begins, nor do we know what the 7th Omega God is planning, or how long it will be until they show up"
Tyrus:"Fear not, son of Xiro. We still have time to prepare for them, and I have faith all of you will be able to deal with them when the time comes. Until that time, we should focus on other matters…"
"Like our Tournament, eh, brother?" remarked a voice from seemingly nowhere.
As the group turned their attention to the source of the voice, they were immediately caught off guard by the new figure that stood before them, and were even more surprised by the Godly presence he gave off that was practically identical to the very God of Destruction that stood in their presence. Despite the initial shock of the other mortals, both Tyrus and Ujun casually strolled towards the new figure, their walks holding no hostility and instead a sort of acknowledgement or reminisce of this figure.
Tyrus:"Too good for 'Hello' now, are we, Hashim?" he stated as he stopped before the figure, revealing his identity as he stood before the man that was practically his clone.
Indeed, this new figure was nearly identical to the God of Destruction of the 7th Universe, sharing; the same face, same bangs and mohawk, same large ears, same tattoo markings, same clothes and even the same dragon-like feet. The only difference really came to the colour of these beings, as whilst Tyrus' skin was purple, this Hashim's skin was of a bright yellow, and whilst the 7th Universes Hakaishin wore attire that was grey and lined black, the new deity wore the same clothing in black and lined grey. Everything else about him was the same as Tyrus, baring his purple sclera'd eyes opposed to his fellow God's bright yellow ones.
Hashim:"Heh, what can I say? I like to make an entrance"
Tyrus:"Oh, how I do recall. And what do I owe the pleasure of you visiting me, dear brother?"
Hashim:"Straight to the point, eh? You haven't changed"
Tyrus:"Well, it's not a usual occurrence for you to just drop by is it?"
Hashim:"A fair point. I was informed of a tear in reality and looked to the source. When I found it was in your Universe, I thought I would come investigate. I arrived too late it seems, as the problem was already dealt with, though I felt now was a better time than any to talk you about our centuryearly Tournament between the 5 chosen warriors of our Universes"
Tyrus:"Already? I could've sworn we still had a while to go"
Hashim:"Another half year, give or take, though I thought now would be a better time than any to have it given the circumstances"
Tyrus:"And just what do you mean by circumstances?"
Hashim:"You know exactly what I'm talking about. The whole Omega God ordeal that has been plaguing both mine and your Universes"
Tyrus:"Ah yes. I almost forgot they were scattered in your Universe"
Hashim:"And just like you, my own warriors have had to do battle with them to keep our Universes safe and balanced. We both know it won't be long before they are fully released, and the Prophecy will come to fruition. Considering this may be our last chance to hold one of these tournaments, I figured we should get it over and done with as quickly as possible before we both have to prepare for the Battle for the Multiverse"
Tyrus:"Hmm…wise thinking, for once"
Hashim:"And a 'ha ha' to you too"
Tyrus:"Well then, since you've approached me with the idea, I'm sure you already have your fighters chosen"
Hashim:"I do indeed. Here's a list of my fighters and their backgrounds to help your own team prepare" he explained as he handed his brother a small tablet engraved with writing in a language none present could understand"
Tyrus:"And here is the same list of my fighters. I've recently edited them given current…new candidates, we'll call them" he stated as he handed his fellow deity a similar tablet.
Hashim:"The tournmanet will commence in 3 weeks. Plenty of time for us both to prepare. I assume we shall use the usual battleground"
Tyrus:"Correct indeed"
Hashim:"Then I shall see you there. I look forward to seeing the power of your warriors"
Tyrus:"As do I with yours"
With a nod as acknowledgment, a small red ring appeared around where the Hakaishin stood, right before a massive beam of light of the same colour burst out of the ground, consuming the God of Destruction into it, before travelling up into the sky and disappearing with him flying inside it.
Hariko:"The Universal Tournament is finally starting?! AWESOME! I've been waiting for this to happen for too long!"
Cobran:"You're not the only one. I've been curious to see what the warriors of our counterpart Universe are capable of"
Tyrus:"I have no doubt that any of you that I chose will disappoint me"
Dracton:"The team is final, then? You've made your choices on who's going to take part?"
Tyrus:"I have indeed. As you know, only 5 of you are allowed to participate, and I have made my choices based upon your skills, your power level, your will to fight, and personal interest. Hariko, Xiro, you two are automatic picks. Being the strongest warrior of our Universe, having Hariko on my team is a no brainer. Xiro, as my apprentice, you are chosen not only for your capabilities in battle, but because I must demonstrate to my brother that you are a worthy candidate to take my place, and that my authority is never to be questioned"
Hariko:"Heh, you got it"
Xiro:"I shall not let you down, my lord"
Tyrus:"Cobran, your power rivals that of my apprentice, so you are my next pick for the team. As well as that, I hear my brother also has the Ruler of the Hybrids of his Universe on his team, so it makes sense to pit the two of you against one another"
Cobran:"I graciously accept. I shall demonstrate why the Hybrids of Universe 7 are superior"
Tyrus:"Be sure that you do. Dracton, you are the next member of our team. Your techniques and power will be vital in our success. Your Godly Power alongside Hariko's will serve to stack the odds in our favour"
Dracton:"Noted"
Tyrus:"My final pick goes to you, Brikon"
Brikon:"Me?"
Tyrus:"Indeed. Your power is quite the spectacle to behold. I wish to show my brother what true savagery looks like when you unleash your true power"
Brikon:"I will try not to disappoint you, my lord"
Tyrus:"Be sure that you don't. We shall continue to celebrate this night but come the morning and for the next 3 weeks, we shall spend every minute that we can in order to prepare you for your upcoming battles. I expect you to bring our Universe 7 victory"
Hariko:"Don't sweat it, Tyrus. We'll take on these new opponents and demonstrate why our Universe isn't one to be messed with!"
Suddenly, Kilutro suddenly found himself with feeling back in his body, and upon realising he was, somehow, still alive, the Monsuta shot up onto his feet attempting to figure out what had happened to cause such a turnabout. Just as he was about to survey the land, he spotted his brother, Garo, lying alongside him, conveniently coming around at the same time he did, and so helped his fellow Kanarian to his feet before ensuring he was alright. Following this, the two Kan's felt another energy rise alongside them, and turned to find Mephiles, as alive as them, slowly hovering off of his back before placing himself back on his feet, shaking his head to free himself of the headache before joining his fellow villains in finding out where they were.
The 3 stood upon a land above the clouds, mountain peaks and large ground formations high enough to peak over the endless clouds covering this land, which was lit by a total of 3 suns that slowly floated across the light blue sky. If one was to look high enough in this land, the sky would instantly transform and give one a view of the endless starry Universe itself. One could have mistaken this foe heaven, but the lack of angels, positive energy, and the inherent aroma of emptiness filling this endless void clarified it was not the next world.
Kilutro:"Brother, do you recognise this place?"
Garo:"No, but it feels familiar, does it not?"
Kilutro:"My thoughts exactly"
Mephiles:"I believe I have seen this place before. In visions given to me by Lucifer's Halo…"
"This place you speak of is our realm, Dark…" spoke a familiar and monstrous voice.
As the 3 villains turned around to face the source of the voice, they came face to face with the genocidal Omega God himself, Jenosaido, who stood towering about the 3 monsters on a separate yet nearby mass of land.
Garo:"Father?!"
Jenosaido:"Indeed, my son. I am overjoyed to see the two of you once again" he remarked as hovered over and landed on the same spot of land as his kin.
Kilutro:"Is that so? The replicants you created of us long ago say otherwise"
Jenosaido:"I knew you would bring those up, and I cannot tell you how foolish I feel having used them instead of reviving the two of you. It as been centuries since I have seen the two of you in battle. I forgot how powerful the two of you could truly become, and seeing you today brought a tear to my eye"
Garo:"Do you…mean that?"
Jenosaido:"I do, with every ounce of my being. You two are every bit the Gods your mother and I first believed you to be. It would be my honour if the two of you would join our mission to end the mortal scum attempting to protect this Multiverse and help bring about our ultimate goal" he requested as he placed a monstrous hand upon each of his children's shoulders.
Kilutro:"I would fight by your side any day, father! I am honoured to finally be welcome into your ranks!"
Jenosaido:"That's my boy. And what of you, Garo? Will you help your old man is his time of need?"
Garo:"I…am unsure…" he stated as he stepped away from his father and looked down at the ground.
"Would you join for your old mother's sake, Garo?" spoke a female voice that instantly made the Akuman, and his brother, perk up.
As the three Kanarian's and the colourless hedgehog turned to the source of the voice, they watched as a female figure slowly descended from the skies and landed before the group, the 3 Suns shining down upon this dimension instantly revealing her identity to the group. By simply being in the mere presence of this woman stood directly before him, Garo looked shaken, shocked even, and yet there was a warm in his eyes directed at this figure the likes of which couldn't be imaginable for such a monster. This same surprise found its way on Kilutro as well, though a bit more clamed and controlled, more overjoyed to see this woman than anything, all the while Mephiles stood cross armed in astonishment whilst Jenosaido looked upon the new figure with mere amusement and longing.
At first glance, it wasn't had to figure out that this woman was a member of the Kanarian race, more specifically from the Akuman side due to her likeness to the younger Akuman before her. This woman's skin was purple for the most part and was covered in black tattoo like markings on several points of her skin. All of her body from her waist downwards was black, save for her toes and the rings around her lower leg that were the same colour as her skin. Her abs and chest area were completely black and lead all the way up to her neck to connect with her black muzzle, where she had no mouth and a short purple nose.
Two lines sprouted from her black chest area just below her collar bone and went around each of her shoulders before connecting at her spine, which was also covered by one thick black line down the centre of said back. Around her biceps were a small black ring, each of which had a line leading out of it down the centre of her arm and connecting to the black patch covering her elbow area. Another line led from this patch and connected to her black ringed wrists and hands, the fingers of which were still purple. That familiar tentacle of black hair sprouted from the top and centre of her head, and her purple and black dyed quills led all the way down to her knees. Two lines were etched onto each side of her forehead, and two black lines led up from her muzzle, crossed over her black sclera'd and red irised eyes, and connected at the centre of her head to her small mane of hair.
Garo:"M-mother…? Is that really you?" he questioned, his voice shaky as he reached out with his right hand to touch the woman before him and confirm she was real.
"It is, my son. It is your mother, Miyazu, stood before you once again" she stated, as she grabbed her child's hand with each of her own, and pulled the nearly crying Kanarian into a hug.
Garo:"I never thought…I would see you again…!" he breathed out, whilst on the verge of tears.
Miyazu:"As did I. I am so glad to see you again, my child. You have become so strong, and I couldn't be prouder!" she exclaimed as they parted from the hug and she held Kan's face in her hands.
Kilutro:"Mom!" he shouted in happiness, as he sprinted towards the Kanarian question and wrapped her in another hug.
Miyazu:"And hello to you as well, Kilutro. You've grown so big!" she greeted as they parted, and she placed her hands on each of his shoulders and he did the same to her.
Kilutro:"We cam never be thankful enough to the two of you for finally allowing us to join in your noble quest"
Miyazu:"Think nothing of it, dear. It was time the two of you finally took your places by our side. Your brother, Bikaron, is here as well. How about we go see him?"
Garo:"Bikaron lives?!"
Kilutro:"Lead the way!"
And with that, the reunited mother and sons took to the skies and began a slow flight across the void to re-join their other family member, whilst Jenosaido and Mephiles stayed behind, the former watching the scene with what could only be comparable to a proud father's smile, whilst the latter looked off into the distance with dis-interest and impatience.
Jenosaido:"It wams my heart knowing my family is finally back together"
Mephiles:"Yes, yes, rather touching and all that. However, my patience for such sentimental rubbish has grown thin, and I would very much like to know what I am doing here"
"Because we have business with you, Dark" stated a calm voice yet authoritive voice from directly behind the colourless hedgehog.
The fact someone had somehow instantly got behind him shocked Mephiles in the first place, even more so when he span around to find a 6'8 shadowed figure glaring down at him with piercing white irised eyes, a set of eyes Dark had seen only once and instantly made him back away a few feet in terror.
Mephiles:"It's you! I-I am honoured, my lord, to be in your p-presence once again!" he exclaimed as he quickly made the effort to bow and pay respect to the powerful being before him.
"Save your quiveling, hedgehog. I would have words with thee. It is my understanding that you had the goal of attempting to overthrow us Omega Gods so that you could rule the Multiverse yourself?"
Mephiles:"Please, my lord. I-I never meant it! Even as Solaris, I would never stand a chance against your might! I never did in the first place! Please forgive my insolence!" he begged as he backed away in an attempt to protect himself.
Just when the colourless hedgehog was prepared to face his inevitable and painful death at the hands of the Omega God, he somehow found himself still alive, and that the shadowed figure before him was instead staring off in the opposite direction of Dark with his hands folded behind his back.
"You misunderstand me, Dark. I admire your aspiration, and the power you held as the mighty Solaris almost allowed you to accomplish said aspiration. Almost" he emphasised as he turned his head ever so slightly so that his right eye stared directly into his enemy's eyes, sending a shiver down Mephiles' spine when he watched the deity's eye glow for a moment.
"I have seen you demonstrate this power once before many eons ago, when you were first released upon the Multiverse and tried to destroy it for your own purpose" he explained as he turned back to staring at his dimension.
Mephiles:"I remember. Your power outmatched my own even after I summouned every last bit of strength I could muster. You Omega Gods imprisoned me in that cage now called the Deathexen, and used me as a magnet to collect all the Evil Energy of every individual Universe"
"I do recall so as well. Though you only used that to your advantage, did you not?"
Mephiles:"So I did. I bathed my body in all the Universes Evil Energy to empower me and Iblis further, all leading up to my revenge against that blasted Hariko Mangham!" he growled as he clenched his right hand into a fist, rage pumping through his body at the mere mention of his sworn enemy.
"You even used the energy in conjunction with help from the Demon Realm to create that monster, Garianga, didn't you?"
Mephiles:"He was originally intended to be my pawn, to help free me from my prison and help in my desire to destroy Hariko. Of course, due to the Demon Realm's assistance in my plans, the Demon I created became something more, the self-proclaimed King that wished to rule over the Mortal Realm after casting it in darkness like he did Planet Abaven to turn it into the End Zone. He planned to use that Zone to bridge the Demon Realm back to the mortal realm as well, but his plans were foiled by the very enemy I created him to kill in the first place!"
"Such power as a God, and such determination to end an individual as powerful as the Mangham could serve as a great asset to us Omega Gods. If, of course, you wish to join us"
Mephiles:"What would be in it for me?"
"When the prophecy comes to fruition, once we have conquered the mortals that will attempt to defy us, and after we re-shape reality and existence to the way it should be, you shall be allowed your very own Multiverse to rule over as you see fit"
Mephiles:"An entire Multiverse you say? All to myself?"
"Correct"
Mephiles:"Seems rather generous of you"
"Perhaps, but we have waited centuries to finally be freed and accomplish our desires. Anything, or anyone, that would assist us in accomplishing this goal quicker deserves to be generously rewarded as I see fit"
Mephiles:"And what if I refuse?"
"You'll simply be cast down back to Hell, stripped of power once again, forced to rot with the rest of the mortals until you are inevitably wiped from the face of life and death when we reset existence" he stated as he turned back to face the colourless hedgehog.
Mephiles:"Hmhm, very well then. I suppose allying myself with my fellow Gods couldn't hurt"
"An excellent decision. Now, allow me to reunite you with your other half"
The Omega God then simply raised his right hand out in front of him and clicked his fingers, right before he returned to folding his hands as the area behind Mephiles began to shake and tremble. When Dark turned to investigate what was happening, he noticed a portion of the cloudy floor suddenly begin to burn and turn smoky, right before humungous beams of fire began to burst from the ground and ascend into the starry skies above. All of a sudden, the clouds seem to part and disintegrate, as a mass of lava suddenly oozed its way to the surface, and then began to grow even larger and take shape into an actual being.
Said being grew so humungous he was easily the size of a skyscraper before his actual appearance begun to settle in, as 4 limbs slowly began to grow out of his body and form 4 enormous arms each with 3 clawed fingers and a thumb that could squash people like ants. As a reptilian head began to sprout from the lava, molten rock built itself up around his body to form armour around his back, shoulders and eventually his head. Then, having finally taken form, the being of lava opened its green reptilian eyes, and upon said eyes landing upon his other half, the monster opened its mouth, sharpening each of its insanely deadly fang-like teeth, and let out a powerful cry into the stars as its power suddenly sky-rocketed.
"I give you the revived Iblis. I trust this shall suffice for you to join us and destroy the mortals that stand in our way?"
Mephiles:"Oh, yes! This will do most nicely" he acknowledged as his fiery other self bent its head down and allowed its muzzle to be stroked by the colourless hedgehog.
"So then, when do we start?" questioned Dark as he turned back to face the shadowed figure with a semblance of a smirk.
