Battle For Remnant: Part 3


Onychinus is blasted into a building. He falls onto his hands and knees, breathing heavily. Onychinus then gets up and charges. Umbra retaliates with another blast, which Onychinus blocks with his forearms. Onychinus charges again and Umbra begins bombarding him with more blasts. Smoke from the blast fills the streets.


"Look at them." Amaranth says to herself, "They're fools."


Umbra walks towards Onychinus as the smoke clears. Onychinus charges a blast of his own, but Umbra is unphased by the attack. Umbra chuckles as he grabs Onychinus' head and lifts him into the air.

"What was that supposed to be?" Umbra taunts.

Umbra releases Onychinus and uppercuts him on his way towards the ground.


The ground below Amaranth cracks from the shockwave created by the sheer strength of Umbra's blow. Amaranth clenches her fists and activates level two of her Chaos Verto. Amaranth takes off and flies towards Umbra.


Amaranth tries to punch Umbra, but he leans back, easily avoiding her fist. Amaranth spins around backflips in air, dropping her leg on Umbra's shoulder while upside down. Amaranth then kicks off of the ground and punches Umbra in the chin, but he is unaffected by either blow. Amaranth jumps back to gain some distance and fires a blast at Umbra's chest. She repeats the action and jumps back a third time. Camo lands in front of Amaranth and fires a blast of his own. Umbra is unaffected by all of them. He uppercuts Camo out of the way and blasts Amaranth into the building, shattering it on impact.

"What?" Umbra taunts, "Finished already?"

Amaranth fades out of her Verto and falls.


Umbra turns to see Onychinus, with most of the armor on his chest and arms destroyed, walking towards him.

"Still got some fight left in you?" Umbra taunts.

Onychinus continues towards Umbra.


Light and Anna grab Camo and Amaranth, before flying to a safe distance.


Umbra flares his aura as Onychinus continues making his way towards Umbra. Onychinus flares his aura and the two Riders charge. Onychinus tries to punch Umbra, but creates and quickly expands a dome before shattering, knocking Onychinus into the ground. Onychinus slides across the street, leaving a trail of destruction in his wake. Onychinus quickly dashes away as Umbra charges. Umbra fires a blast which levels creates a massive crater once it hits Onychinus.

It's not enough.

They need more time.

Onychinus pushes himself to his feet. He calmly walks out the crater and lunges at Umbra. Umbra retaliates by tackling Onychinus with his forearm, knocking him down. Umbra flies upwards and blasts Onychinus. He continues to blast him over and over, making the crater bigger and bigger. Onychinus screams in pain with each blast. Satisfied, Umbra lands on the edge of the crater.

Onychinus walks out of the crater again.

"I just love a dramatic ending." Umbra admits.

Umbra lunges at Onychinus and fires a blast at him, knocking Onychinus into the building behind him. Onychinus smashes through the building and crashes into the building on the other side of the street. Onychinus shakily rises to his feet. He takes a moment to regain his balance.

"Your persistence is annoying." Umbra admits.

Umbra charges at Onychinus. He punches Onychinus back into the building, before jumping back to gain some distance. Umbra then fires a blast, leveling the building. When the smoke clears, Onychinus is still standing. Umbra charges and Onychinus' screams echo throughout the city.

Umbra bombards Onychinus with alternating hooks, knocking him through wall after wall, building after building. Umbra punches Onychinus through the building and into the one across the street. Umbra punches Onychinus through the wall and into the building.

"You lasted longer than I expected," Umbra admits, "but your hour has arrived."

Onychinus catches Umbra's right hook.

"Your hour has arrived." Onychinus declares as he flares his aura.

Onychinus forces Umbra's hand back, snapping his wrist. Umbra cries out in pain as he clutches his wrist. Onychinus then charges, hitting Umbra with a right hook. Umbra is sent flying backwards. Umbra slowly rises to his feet as Onychinus charges again. He kicks Umbra into a building. Umbra flies through the roof and Onychinus charges again. He dashes past Umbra three time, each time bashing Umbra with his shoulder. Onychinus then double axe handle smashes Umbra into the roof of another building. Umbra smashes through the roof and crashes onto the floor. Umbra rises to his feet as Onychinus begins to fire multiple blasts. Onychinus then charges to Umbra and tackles him into the wall of another building. They smash through the wall and Onychinus' aura dulls. Umbra charges and uppercuts Onychinus, sending him several blocks away.


Light, Camo, Anna, and Amaranth land nearby Onychinus.

"Here goes." Onychinus says.


A massive white beam of light shoots up into the sky.

"All right!" The five Riders shout.

Onychinus, in his base form floats in the center of the beam. Onychinus lands on top of the building in front of Umbra. Behind his mask, Onychinus is smirking.

"What did you do?" Umbra asks.

"You became one with Night." Onychinus voice is echoed by Light, Camo, Anna, and Amaranth's, "So we became one as well. We modified Dual Chaos Verto to work for five people."

Onychinus activates level two of his Chaos Verto. As opposed to brown, the color that would be made from two shades of red, two shades of green, and yellow, Onychinus' aura is black outlined with white.

"Don't assume that will allow you to stand up to me!" Umbra shouts.

Umbra fires a blast, and Onychinus effortlessly stops it with his right hand. The blast explodes and Onychinus is unphased. Umbra's mouth drops on shock as Onychinus lowers his arm.

"Now, let's finish this." Onychinus says.
