Darkness Reborn

Hello, everyone. Just thought I would let you know that I do appreciate everyone for reading this far, and hope you will read the rest of my story. It should not be that much longer.

Anyway, enjoy the chapter, ladies and gentleman.


Blu groaned as he struggled to regain his strength and continue his efforts to bring down Nexus once and for all, but it was not looking good. He held his right wing around his chest where he had a couple of broken ribs that left him in agonizing pain.

He could only watch as Nexus moved closer to him, growling silently under his breath. How was he to win this? He was half injured and could barely stand, and all of his friends were too weak to assist him. Only a miracle could save him now.

In an effort to by himself more time, Blu turned himself invisible with his power and slowly sneaked away, hoping he could regain some energy before engaging with Nexus again.

The evil hawk arched an eyebrow in confusing as he stood in the middle of the throne room, his wings raised up with the Darkness serpent heads and demon arms slivering around him. He called out to his rival while carefully scanning the area, suspecting Blu may try some sort of sneak attack. "Where have you gone?!"

There was no reply, and this made Nexus believe that the blue macaw was just trying to trick him. What he did not know was Blu was nowhere near him, and was trying to get his breath back without making much noise.

Nexus began to fire dark macaws all around the entire area in an attempt to draw him out. He angrily yelled out as he continued doing the same thing for a few seconds. "Come out and face me, macaw! Are you afraid!?"

"No." Blu's voice answered, causing Nexus to fire his beam in a direction he suspected the voice had came from, but he heard wrong. "I am not afraid, but I am also not stupid. I may be clumsy, but not stupid."

"Is that so?" Nexus inquired, turning his attention around for a moment where he saw older Jewel laying unconscious on the ground, completely out from the battle. He smirked as he slowly approached her, thinking of an idea he may have to get Blu to show himself. "If that is the case, then I don't think you will mind if I hurt your friend."

Blu gasped silently under his breath as he watched Nexus place his right talon on her neck, preparing to choke her. He may not be her real husband, but he was not going to just let him hurt her like that. "Leave her alone!"

"Who, her?" Nexus asked, choking older Jewel as he lifted her into the air, preparing to finish her off without her even knowing.

Blu had no choice but to show himself in order to save older Jewel. Turning off his invisibility, he quickly raised his wings and fired two light beams towards the evil hawk. "NOOO!"

Nexus sensed this was going to happen and easily dodged his attack with his super reflexives before firing his own dark beam towards Blu. He laughed as he watched Blu collapse onto his stomach before he dropped older Jewel, and proceeded to finish him off.

Blu managed to get himself back up again where he could see Nexus was only standing a few feet away from him. He groaned as he raised his wing to fire another light beam, but Nexus acted first and grabbed his wing with his talon.

"I don't think so." he smirked, lifting Blu up and throwing him all the way over to the other side of the throne room with his super strength. He watched as the blue macaw collapsed onto the ground, almost looking like he was on the verge of passing out. "This is it, macaw. This is the moment with have both been waiting for."

"Looks that way, doesn't it?" Blu replied, holding his wing against his chest after his ribs were injured more upon impact. He groaned even more as Nexus grabbed his head and held him up into the air.

Nexus eyed Blu's chest for a moment, knowing that a couple of his ribs had been broken. He chuckled as he curled his wing like a fist and struck Blu directly in his chest, breaking them even more.

"AHHH!" Blu cried out, feeling his ribs shatter inside of him. He wiggled around as much as he could, attempting to get free from the evil hawk's grip.

"Did that hurt?" Nexus mockingly inquired, laughing as he shifted his talon onto his neck instead and began to choke him. Before killing him, Nexus wanted to hear him beg for his life. "Beg for mercy."

Blu knew full well what he was trying to make him do, and either way, he would have killed him, regardless if he begged or not. Instead, he created a light essence fireball in his right wing without Nexus knowing. "You want to here me beg, Nexus?"

Nexus grinned in response before he eyed Blu's wing where he could see a shine of light glowing in his wing. Before he even had the chance to blink, Blu shoved the fireball directly into his eyes, and this caused Nexus to release him.

"AHH!" Nexus yelled, holding his eyes with his right wing while rapidly throwing his left wing around, suspecting Blu would attack him while he was blind. "You will pay for that!"

Taking his chance now that he was blind, Blu tackled him to the ground before pushing them both down. He got on top of Nexus with his wings curled like fists, striking him in the face multiple times. A strike with his left wing, then his right wing, and he continued doing the same thing over and over again.

"You may have all those powers, but that does not make you unstoppable!" Blu shouted, slamming his wing directly into Nexus' face, taking out all of his hatred towards him while he had the chance. "I will never let you win! NEVER!"

Nexus's eyes finally recovered from his feeling factor, and the second he could see, he blocked Blu's wing with his own before striking him directly in the fact, almost breaking it the process. He stood back up to his talons before he picked Blu up in both of his wings and held him the air as high as he could.

"You have real been a nuisance to me since the day I met you!" Nexus yelled, holding the injured macaw in his wings as he prepared to break him. "And now I am going to break you with my own strength!"

Blu panicked as he attempted to escape his grip before Nexus would be able to finish him off. However, he was not fast enough, and shouted out in pain as Nexus slammed him to the ground as hard as he could, almost breaking every bone in Blu's body if he did it a little harder.

Blu tried to get up, but if he even tried to move one of his toes he would feel nothing but pain shoot through his entire body. He could only watch the evil hawk, knowing this was it. Nothing he could do now to get free or escape.

Nexus placed his right talon against Blu's chest as he pushed down, injuring his broken ribs even more. He chuckled as he could see Blu was on the verge on passing out, but Nexus wanted him to watch what was going to happen next.

"You are weak, Blu. You have lost, and I have won." Nexus said, using his telekinesis power to pull the scroll towards him that he had hid under the throne chair. He accepted the scroll into his wings as eyed the injured blue macaw trapped under his talon. "Now watch Blu, as I accept my destiny."

Nexus opened up the scroll and held it close to his face, slowly reading and learning it's contents in his wings, speaking in some sort of language "Ele o gonba, ele supreme, ungongan til la tyte, untr expolise, exudous Darkness!"

He continued studying for a moment until his eyes suddenly shot open, and this caused him to groan as he moved a few feet away from Blu.

The blue macaw panted as he turned his head to the left where Nexus was groaning in unbearable pain, falling to his knees in the process. He gasped as he could see some kind of darkness spirits traveling around his entire body.

"AHHHHHHHHH!" Nexus screamed, falling almost flat onto his stomach as he used his wings to keep himself up. He continued screaming as the darkness spirits traveled inside of his body, blending in with his DNA.

After a moment or so had passed, Nexus had eventually stopped screaming, and even managed to get himself back onto his talons. He began chuckling to himself as he turned his attention back towards Blu, who had been watching the entire thing. "Bluuuuu..."

Blu panicked as he studied Nexus, knowing that his appearance looked different from what he looked like a moment ago. He had grown a foot taller, his eyes were literally completely a fearsome read color, and his body was glowing with dark essence more than it did before.

Nexus, now with the power of a million souls approached Blu at a fast speed despite him him walking. He extended out the darkness demon arms from his back and used them to restrain Blu by wrapping them around his wings, and lift him up into the air.

He chuckled as he watched the blue macaw to injured to attack him further. Nexus extended out the serpent heads from his back and slivered them over his shoulders, making their way over to Blu. "You have lost, Blu. I am now truly immortal, and none of you shall stand in my way anymore."

As quick as a flash, Nexus bit the serpent heads into Blu's chest, passing through dark essence into his DNA. He watched as the blue macaw struggled in his grip, feeling pain that he had never felt in his entire life.

"GGGR, AHHHHH! AHHHHHHHHHH!" Blu screamed, feeling the dark essence burning him from the insides, and this was causing his tattoo's to fade away from his wings, and causing his chest to burn as well. He could not do anything to escape, the pain was too great for him to handle.

Nexus continued doing this for a a couple of moments until he saw all of Blu's tattoo's had disappeared, and this meant he no longer had any of his powers inside of him. He laughed uncontrollably as he tossed Blu on the ground, enjoying the pleasure of watching him scream as he tortured him.

As soon as he dropped him, Nexus looked down towards his greatest enemy, who had now passed out, obviously from the shock and pain. "You no longer possess any of your powers. The dark essence will pass, but that will not stop me from having the pleasure of killing you myself."

Not too far from where Nexus was standing, Rico the black hawk, who had finally woken up after being knocked unconscious by Nexus. He stood back up onto his talons, holding a wing to his chest where he felt one of his ribs had been broken too.

Rico gasped silently as he noticed Nexus now looked stronger than ever. And to make it noticeable that he now possessed the million souls, the scroll had been dropped to the ground, looking like a normal piece of paper.

Rico watched as Nexus picked up Blu with his talon and slowly choked him, wanting to enjoy every moment of his victory. He was about to save his friend with his powers before he had just realized something...Something very important.

Rico disappeared the flames in his wings as he began to slowly approach Nexus, showing almost no fear at all. He still had one more trick up his sleeve. "It feels good, doesn't it, Nexus? Having all that power inside of you...All that pain...And even all those souls."

"What's your point?" Nexus inquired, whacking Rico down onto the ground when he got close, and it was lucky for him he did no strike him too hard, because Nexus was now twice as strong as he was moments ago. "I have powers you could not imagine. I am truly immortal, and as soon as I deal with your friend here, you are next."

"Look me in the eye when you say that." Rico requested, holding his chest as he used his free wing to push him himself up.

Nexus smirked in response as he dropped Blu to the ground and proceeded to deal with the hawk first. He placed his wing onto Rico's should and forced him to stand. "If you insist."

The second he was standing, Rico suddenly turned his entire body into his fire, leaving his fears glowing in an orange color, and turning his eyes white in the process. He placed his wings onto Nexus's shoulder's and looked him directly in his fearsome red eyes, preparing to end this once and for all. "Look into my eyes...Feel every pain you have ever experienced, and everyone you ever hurt."

Nexus chuckled for a moment, thinking his efforts were entertaining to him. He was about to strike his wing against him, but for some reason, he would not look away from his eyes, no matter how much he tried to look away.

Nexus began to scream in agonizing pain as he continued to look into his eyes, and he could feel the unbearable pain of the million souls shooting through his entire body. He could not escape, despite his many talents. He could not attack him, he could not teleport away, and he could not call on the Darkness for assistance.

After a moment of unbearable suffering had come to an end, Rico transformed back into his normal mode but he discovered Nexus did not burn into ashes. Instead, he looked just like an ordinary macaw now.

"Now, if the Rico that lived here could not do that, than that makes me better." Rico said, dropping the lifeless corpse to the ground. He turned his attention back to Blu, who was now being helped up by the others, who had recovered from their injuries. "Hey, all of you okay?"

"We're okay, Rico." older Jewel assured him, keeping her wings on Blu's shoulder and wing to help him stand.

Blu leaned his head down for a moment where he could see burn marks against his feathers. He groaned as he felt them stinging him, but it did change that fact that he was shocked Rico had managed to finish this. "Rico...You did it...You stopped Nexus."

"Naa." he said, waving his wing slightly, deciding not too take all the credit for defeating the evil hawk. "He's just a bird; same as all of us."

Blu smiled in response as he looked towards the the entrance the throne room where he met a familiar face. He groaned slightly as he held his wing against his chest, but was still help nevertheless. "Your Highness."

"Blu...All of you did it..." the Angelus said, never being happier as she could not believe that had defeated someone who even she could not stop. "You stopped Nexus."

"We all helped, but Rico was the one to finish him off." Blu replied, gesturing his free wing towards the hawk.

"Ahh, it was nothing." Rico assured them, rubbing the back of his head with his wing for a moment. "He claimed he had no soul, but as soon as he read the scroll, he had a lot of souls for me to burn."

"Well done, Ricardo. And to the rest of you too." the Angelus congratulated them, smiling as she discovered Blu's injures, knowing he and the others needed medic attention. "Now if you all can come with me, I'm sure we can-"

"LOOK OUT!" older Jewel screamed.

Everyone else watched in shock for a moment as Nexus had suddenly charged towards Blu, attempting to kill him with his last bit of strength. The Angelus quickly struck him the face, knocking him a few feet away as his body slowly began to burn up.

She turned back to the others and her expression soon changed as she suspected her eyes deceived her. "Oh, my Goodness."

There, laying almost unconsciously on the ground was Blu, who had a blade stabbed directly into his stomach. He struggled to get his words out as the others were not sure what to do next.

"Someone do something!" older Jewel shouted, panicking as she slapped her wing against Blu's face a couple of times to keep him awake. "Stay with me, Blu!"

"Can we move him?!" Nico inquired, knowing that he was going to need help as soon as possible.

"He's gonna die if we don't do something!" Pedro panicked, holding his wings against his head, not knowing what do do.

The Angelus sighed as she knew what she had to do next in order to help save another life. She beckoned for the others to move aside, and at first, they did not respond, but obeyed her wishes. The Angelus pulled the dagger out of his stomach that caused him to groan even more for a moment.

Closing her eyes to concentrate further, the Angelus placed her wings against the side of Blu's face. The others could only watch as they hoped what ever she was going next was going to work. After a moment had passed, older Jewel looked towards where Blu had been stabbed, and was shocked to see his flesh was healing itself quicker than before.

Groaning as she continued to help the injured macaw until finally, his wound had healed. She fell back for as she panted, holding her wings to her stomach.

The others knelt down to Blu, who's injury from where he had been stabbed had healed! His burn marks and broken bones did not however, but was going to live! The Angelus had managed to heal him with some sort of power.

"I'm alive...! I'm alive! Blu enthusiastically called out, as he was helped stood up by the others. "Angelus, you did!"

"I know...I had to, ergh!" the Angelus groaned, holding her stomach further as he made her way over to Nexus, who looked barely alive.

"Are you okay?" Blu inquired, but he soon gasped as he could see the Angelus had not healed him, but instead, she had absorbed his injury. The injury where he had been stabbed was now on her stomach instead.

"Blu...Without any light essence, I am going to die..." the Angelus assured him, groaning as she made her way to Nexus, who had managed to get back onto his talons.

"No, you can't!" Blu argued, attempting to reach out to her, but the others held him back, respecting the Angelus's wishes.

"I know you are upset, but there is nothing you can do to stop it." the Angelus replied, finally making her way towards Nexus, who groaned as his entire body was burning with light essence. She placed both of her wings against Nexus face, knowing he was too weak to attack. "Nexus, you have caused nothing but pain and misery just to get the things you want...And now, I am going to make sure you never hurt anyone again."

The Angelus closed her eyes as she began to pass through her light essence into the evil hawk, knowing he no longer possessed any powers. In seconds, both the Angelus and the Nexus began to disintegrate, both of their bodies turning to specks of parts.

Blu and the others watched in sadness as the Angelus had given her life to defeat Nexus once and for all, finally ending his rule. Tears rolled down his eyes as he could not bare to watch. The Angelus may have been his enemy once, but then she became his mentor...And his friend.

But it was finally over. The legendary Angelus and Darkness, who had been alive since the beginning of time had finally perished. This surely was going to be a day to remember, but the important thing was everyone in Rio and the World of Light was going to be safe, and now they could try to rebuild what Nexus had destroyed.


The final battle has been completed, ladies and gentleman. Nexus has finally been defeated one and for all, but at the cost of the Angelus' life in the process. Our feathered friends will now return to Rio, and hopefully, recover from this terrible day.
