Chapter XII
My name is Dewey Duck, and I am a survivor. We are now gathered together in front of lord Natas. This will be the last time any one of us dies because of him. We will defeat him and bring back the world to what it once was. I know we can beat him, I now know that we can beat. So it's time that I stop doubting myself and my abilities and it's time that I start using them to kill Natas. It's now or never, and I think I have waited long enough. I'm not gonna stop until Natas is dead for good and wiped away from the history books.

Natas looked at everyone who opposed him. He felt so much anger and rage, but he couldn't help but laugh. All of these mortals dare to oppose a god. He could hardly contain himself. He looked at Dewey and laughed in his face.
"I make you kill your friend, I make lose all hope, and you still try to challenge me." Natas said as Dewey held his two blades up ready to fight. "I like you Dewford, I enjoy your existence. It's too bad that none of you will exist after this. I'll make sure of it." Natas then tried to attack Dewey, but Dante shot Natas before he could do anything. Natas was annoyed by this and turned his attention towards Dante. He then appeared right in front of Dante as Dante shot Natas right in the stomach. Natas was confused by this. "How did you know where I was coming from?" Natas asked as Dante looked at him with complete composure.
"I know your secret." Dante said as Natas was surprised. Natas did not expect someone to figure out his power so quickly. Dante then punched him with his hurricane fists to deal extra damage to Natas. It did almost nothing to him though. "You can stop time around yourself and one other person. Whether that person knows that you stopped time or not is on them. The reason you need to kill one of the triplets is because with their souls you can upgrade this power so that only you can stop time and no one can see. But if you get out of range from the person that sees the stopped time, time ends up resuming. Also, you need to have full focus to activate it." Natas couldn't believe that he figured it out so quick. "You can also give this ability to people who are unconscious I presume." Natas didn't like the fact that Dante figured everything out so quickly. But then Natas started to smile.
"Thank you for reminding me." Natas said as time stopped again. Natas tried making his way towards Louie, but suddenly he got shot in the side. It was Baron that shot him, he awoke from his unconscious state. Natas now had no plan of attack, no way out of this. He didn't know what to do. Just then, an army of demons started to stampede towards all of them. He was saved by his minions. As Natas tried to make his escape, the group split up into teams. There were five people that would go after Natas. Those people were Dewey, Louie, Dante, Webby, and Killer Bee. Everyone else was fighting against the army. Natas looked at his pursuers as he attacked Dante. Webby blocked it as Dante shot Natas. Natas then tried to attack again, but Louie threw his carbon cards as Killer Bee and Dewey slashed him with their blades. Natas was beginning to believe there was no way out of this. Until he remembered something.
"It doesn't matter how many times you hit me, I am immortal." Natas said as he attacked all five of them at once. They were now outmatched. Natas then created a giant sword made of blood. He hit everyone with the sword. Dewey and Louie didn't give up as they both kept attacking him with everything they had. Natas blocked all of their attacks, but the Louie used all of his luck while Dewey used the power of his electricity. Dewey was going as fast as the speed of light as he slashed through Natas countless times. Louie then asked Dewey to give him time to activate his ultimate ability. Dewey agreed to buy him some time. Webby also got in on the action as they teamed up against Natas. As Dewey sliced through Natas, he pushed him towards Webby. Webby would use her mastery in martial arts to push Natas back towards Dewey. They coordinated their attacks perfectly enough to prevent Natas from attacking. Natas was annoyed by this and waited for an opening. As he waited, Louie was charging up all of his luck into his coin. Killer Bee then decided to join the fight.
Natas found an opening and threw Webby away from him. Killer Bee then replaced Webby's position and continued the onslaught. Dante then got up as Louie continued to charge the luck into the coin.
"Do you need any help?" Dante asked as Louie answered.
"I don't think they are gonna hold him off for very long." Louie said as Dante pulled out his pistols. "I need you to protect me in case things don't end up looking so good. Dante agreed and protected Louie.
Dewey and Killer Bee continued to prevent Natas from attacking. Natas once again tried to wait for an opening. Dewey and Killer Bee were starting to slow down because of all the energy they were wasting on the attacks. Natas used this to his advantage and grabbed both of them before they could even think. He slammed them both into the ground and pushed them over to where Louie was. Natas then turned his attention to Louie as Dante began firing his bullets. Natas deflected them all with his sword as he started walking towards them. Dante tried to keep Natas away, but it was no use. Natas punched Dante out of the way and tried to grab onto Louie. Just then a ball of fire came hurdling towards Natas. Natas tried to dodge it, but it was too late. The ball of fire knocked Natas back, away from Louie. The ball of fire then dispersed into the form of a person. It was none other than Huey. He was covered in flames and he looked older and stronger than he used to be. He then started to speak to Dewey.
"Here, take this." Huey said as he handed Dewey a feather. "It will take you to Heaven, you are going to have to train for 3 years. That is the equivalent to 3 hours on Earth. If you're worried about everyone else, don't. The only reason I'm asking you to go is because of our back up plan. Hopefully it won't come to that. But personally I think I can handle everything by myself. He's not as strong as the others thought he was. Now go, you can't waste time sitting here. I'll handle everything by myself." Dewey was confused by this, but he took the feather anyway. A light started to shine down upon him as he started to ascend to Heaven. Everyone was confused by this, but Huey did not care. Huey then faced Natas.
"So you're the guy the everyone in Heaven is talking about." Huey said as Natas got up from the attack made earlier. "You're don't look as strong as everyone says you are. I have been training a long time just to kill you. I guess my training went on for a little too long considering I'm already stronger than you. How about I kill you where you stand." Huey then appeared right behind Natas and hit him with his flaming fist. Natas didn't know how it happened, but the next thing he knew I was flying in the direction of Dusk's Dawn HQ. Natas was confused and he felt an emotion that he has never felt before. Huey then notice how different Natas started to look.
"That look on your face, do you know what that entails?" Huey asked as Natas looked at him. "That look entails fear. Fear that everything you worked so hard for is coming to and end. Fear that we, the mortals, have already won. Fear of your own death. I know you don't want to die." Huey started walking closer as Natas started backing away. He didn't know he was crawling back until he was already doing it. Huey then smiled as his fire in his hand went from red, to blue, to black. "I'm going to make sure you pay for the crimes you committed. I'm going to make sure that this world is a much better place without you in it." Huey then hit Natas with everything he had. Huey kept blasting him with black fire balls until he thought for sure he was incapacitated. Huey then grabbed Natas and pulled him over to where Louie was. "Time for you to be judged." Huey then threw Natas to the ground in front of Louie. Louie then looked Natas is the eyes and flipped the coin. The coin was on the death side. Natas looked on in fear as he felt his body feel the sweet embrace of death. Huey, Louie, and the rest looked on at Natas happy to see him die. Louie then looked at Huey and smiled. He was happy that his brother was alive an this was all over. Huey then turned to walk over to where Louie was. He turned his back to the now dead Natas. As Huey walked towards Louie, Louie did the same towards Huey. But Louie noticed something. Louie noticed that Natas's arm was moved. Louie didn't want to think anything of it, so he just walked and hugged his brother.
"It's over Louie, it's finally over." Huey said as Louie agreed.
"This journey has been so long and hard." Louie started as Huey continued to hug his brother. "Now it's over. Now the world will go back to normal. Now we can live our normal lives." As Louie said that. Everyone of their friends that went on the journey with them came from over a nearby hill. They were happy that this madness was finally over. Huey and Louie were left in the center of the battlefield thinking of how they are going to live their lives now that everything is going to be back to normal. Before they could think of anything, Huey came to a realization.
"How come nothing is changing back." Huey said as Louie was confused.
"What do you mean?" Louie asked as Huey explained.
"After Natas dies, the world is supposed to go back to how it's supposed to be. But it's not. Nothing's changed and it doesn't make any..." Huey cut himself short when he turned to see that Natas's body was not behind him anymore. His body was no where to be found. "What the Hell?!" Huey said fearfully as Louie looked at his brother in fear.
"Where did he go?!" Louie asked as Huey tried to search the area.
"No he couldn't have." Huey said as Louie was too terrified to think. "He couldn't have survived that, it makes no sense. How could he still be alive. He should be dead. The world should be back to normal. Everything should be..." Huey then ended up on the ground somehow and he didn't know why. Just then he was looking at the place he was standing before. This time he saw his brother Louie standing there with a blank expression on his face. That's not all he saw. He saw Natas standing there with a metal object piercing through Louie's chest. Louie started to cough up blood as he looked towards his brother one last time with a smile.
"This time... I saved you... how do you like it?" Louie asked addressing to the time Huey died for Louie to have medicine for his illness. Natas then pulled the blade out of Louie's chest as Huey looked on in despair. His brother had just been stabbed right in front of him. He will never get to see his brother again.
"It seems I have underestimated the two of you to the point where I had to use some dirty tactics to kill you." Natas said as he threw his now bloody sword on the ground. "I don't need a sword to kill you, because I simply can not die at the hands of anyone but the chosen one. Huey then got increasingly angry. His rage made his flames burn the ground beneath his feet. He was now floating in mid air and everyone was confused and terrified of this power that Huey had come to possess.
"I think it's time to do something that I didn't think I would need." Huey said as Natas was intrigued. "I'm guessing that you can now stop time without having another person in that space with you."
"You guessed correctly." Natas answered.
"Then you don't mind me using a power that will most likely kill the both of us." Huey said as Natas was confused. Huey pulled off his shirt and it revealed all the scars that he endured during his training. Huey then held out his left had to the side and ignited his arm in flames. "These are... the flames of the Heavens." Huey said as a pitch black fire was ignited onto his arm.
