Chapter 19: Final Confrontation

The final battle against the Origin. The hope of all worlds hangs on the outcome of this battle

"I am going to kill you! I'm not doing this again!" Zero shouted.

"That's because you only hold six people close to you and four are actually here!" The Origin smirked descending the red stairs.

"Is this all the power you have?" Jack asked.

"No, Its all going to the Pure Darkness Generator, Which is moments from completion," The Origin laughed. Without warning Chris slashed the Origin across the chest.

"Pierce him! Shunko!" Chris shouted his double blades turning into a lance and sent a wave of energy through him.

"Are you Quite finished?" The origin asked healing instantly, "This is my world. I might be in a weakened state but I'm still immortal here."

"I'll handle this, Stay back," Zero muttered.

"That's right, Live so you can fight another day," The Origin mocked drawing his blade.

"Let's go! Archeic Balance!" Zero shouted sending a wave of light towards the Origin who jumped over it only to be met by Zero's blade in his chest. Zero flung him off the blade sending him into the stairs below.

"I haven't seen that in a while, but here's something you've probably never seen. Big black dragon Zenkko!" The Origin sent a large spike of darkness at Zero who went right through it, taking no damage at all and slamming into the Origin. Small fragments of the stairs pelted the group below. The Origin jumped up from the smoke onto the now free platform, which started to drift away.

"Get back here!" Ledah shouted.

"Oh I'm not leaving," The Origin smirked, "Only beginning the end!"

"What!?!" Ein shouted.

"Yes! Activate! Pure Darkness Generator!" The Origin shouted turning to face the casing that held the small Pure Darkness Generator.

"No!" Zero shouted leaping to the platform. With a large crash the Origin had broken the outer plate that shielded the Pure Darkness Generator and reached inside.

"Now I shall revert to my original, Pure, Omnipotent form," The Origin continued pushing the Pure Darkness Generator into his body. The Origin then rose into the air morphing into a sphere of darkness along the way.

"Oh F---!" Ledah muttered

"Ack my virgin ears!" Ein shouted. A large black arm shot out of the sphere soon followed by a second. They both grabbed the platform on which the grim angels stood on. A monstrous head emerged from the sphere, which started to form into the rest of the body. The neck and torso were thin and the ribs were exposed. The now enlarged Pure Darkness Generator sat inside the protective ribcage. It also had a secondary set of arms behind the primary pair and tentacles along his spine but under his bat like wings with slight tears in the membrane. The lower body hadn't completely formed yet so the spine attached to the castle several stories below the angels.

"THIS IS MY TRUE FORM!" The Origin boomed.

"That's not good… At all… Right Zero?" Ein asked.

"Not good? NOT GOOD!?! It's the worst F------ Thing that could ever possibly happen!" Zero shouted.

"Ok Just checking," Ein mumbled.

"Didn't you say something to the effect of if he gets the Pure Darkness Generator nothing has a good chance of stopping him?" Ledah turned to ask Zero.

"Something like that..." Zero sighed.

"We still have to try!" Jack shouted.

"I'll call the funeral home," Zero muttered.

"Stop doing that! We have to win! We just have to..." Ein shouted.

"Don't you think know that! It's not that I'm saying we shouldn't I'm saying we can't!" Zero yelled back.

"But..." Ledah mumbled, "We have to save everyone!"

"ARE YOU GOING TO TALK OR DIE!" The Origin asked.

"Niether! We're going to win!" Jack shotued.

"YOU! HA! DON'T MAKE ME LAUGH" The Origin chuckled.

"If you are so intent on dying a horrible death then go right ahead..." Zero muttered, "But only do so... After I fight!" Zero flew towards the Origins head landing a powerful kick square in the middle of the head which did almost no damage save a tiny indentation from Zero's metal leg.

"IS THAT ALL THE MIGHTY ANCIENT ONE HAS?" The Origin asked.

"Not even close! Orison of Light!" Zero shouted. Light exploded from Zero's blade blinding everyone who looked directly into the blast. When the Light finally dimmed The Origin had folded his wings over his body shielding him from the light.

"HA! DON'T YOU KNOW THAT AS THE ORIGIN I HAVE THE ABILITY TO NULLIFY LIGHT! ESPECIALLY IN THIS FORM!" The Origin howled

"That won't stop me from killing you," Zero shouted.

"YOU DO NOT HAVE THE ABILITY!" The Origin pointed out.

"Yes I do!" Zero shouted, "Andromeda Convergence!" With this incantation Zero's sword flashed and distorted its shape until it had transformed into a long slender blade with a chain off the end which had one broken link hanging off the end. During the flash of light Zero's overall appearance had changed as well. His cloths had turned white and his black hair had grown out to waist length. Zero tied this new long hair back with a small strip of white cloth he pulled from an inner coat pocket.

"Is that Zero?" Ein asked.

"WHAT? WHAT DID YOU JUST DO?" The Origin asked.

"Why should I explain the details to you?" Zero asked from behind the Origin.

"Awesome!" Jack shouted.

"What speed!" Ledah shouted.

"To answer your question I released my Diviner, all of its stored power is flowing into me. And I'm going to use it all to destroy you!" Zero explained now in front of the Origin.

"YOU STILL HOLD DELUSIONS OF BEATING ME!? PATHETIC!" The Origin laughed. At least he laughed until Zero appeared behind him again. At which point the tentacles shot towards Zero at high speed. With still higher speed Zero proceeded to slice every tentacle that got within 7 feet of him into tiny pieces. With one final swing Zero blew away the remaining fragments of the tentacles.

"Was that all?" Zero asked.

"NOT IN A THOUSAND YEARS!" The Origin boomed. The Origin's wings spread wide and shot a Tsunami of Darkness towards Zero. Zero swung at the ever approaching tide of darkness in an effort to block it which had mixed results. Zero survived but his hands and forearms were badly burned.

"Tsh..." Zero muttered looking at his wounds.

"I ALWAYS SAY... GET TOO CLOSE TO THE SUN AND YOU MIGHT GET BURNT!" The Origin Mocked.

"Too bad what you always say and what I always say are two different things," Zero shot back healing his wounds.

"INSTANT REGENERATION? IMPOSSIBLE!" The Origin shouted.

"You said it yourself! We're in a world made of darkness! All I need to do is absorb it, convert it into light and heal," Zero smirked.

"YOU CAN'T POSSIBLY KEEP THAT UP FOREVER!" The Origin laughed.

"I'll just have to kill you first!" Zero shouted attacking again. He shot towards the right arm of the Origin with his sword held like a spear. The Origin moved his lower right arm into the way and attacked with his main left and right arms. Zero destroyed the lower right arm and just managed to dodge the right arm. This, However, Didn't save him from being hit by the left arm and slammed into the platform below.

"Zero!" Chris shouted running into the smoke.

"I'm alright!" Zero reassured standing with slight amounts of pain. His left shoulder had been injured by the Origin's claw, "This is nothing," Zero sighed healing his wound with the wave of a hand.

"This battle is going to last forever!" Jack shouted.

"I doubt that. I can't keep this up forever. Somewhere down the line my conversion ability will cease. I know that the Origin doesn't need to convert and has the Pure Darkness Generator for a heart which will likely give him constant regeneration. In light of this we need to figure out a way to break it," Zero explained.

"Yea I don't see that happening..." Ledah muttered.

"Me either..." Zero filled the group with hope and confidence.

"SO DO YOU RESIGN TO YOUR FATE FOOLISH ANGELS?" The Origin boomed regenerating instantly as foretold by Zero.

"Believe it or not I actually have a back up plan ready just in case," Zero smirked.

"Leave it to Zero," Ein laughed.

"Now! Art of the Lost!Baku-Zen-Ken-Desu!" Zero shouted his blade again lit up in a blaze of light distorting into yet another form. When this new light faded and the dust cleared Zero now held a large blade in his right hand. It was thick with a gray coloration and symbols lining its sides. It had no hilt or hand guard only pure power. Zero himself now had on a dark gold torso and shoulder plate and black gauntlets and boots with a black flowing cloth extending past his feet coming from his waist. "Croixer Form Tensa Excalibur," Zero announced.

"Woah..." The other four grim angels muttered together.

"Get ready, Zaudosken!" Zero shouted sending a large spiraling wave of Gray energy int the Origin destroying both his left arms.

"WHERE IS THIS NEW POWER COMING FROM!?" The Origin shrieked.

"Everywhere, This world, the next, and so on. Excalibur is gathering up power from all worlds and condensing it," Zero explained, "Guys nows your chance! You destroy the Pure Darkness Generator while I Distract him!" Zero shouted.

"Right!" Jack and Ledah agreed.

"We'll provide long ranged back up!" Ein shouted gesturing towards Chris.

"Because... You know we can't exactly fly up there, wingless and all," Chris sighed

"Let's go! One last time!" Zero shouted shooting towards the Origin's head, "Getsuga Tenshou (Moon-Fang Piercer of The Heavens)!" Zero fired a large white light from the tip of his blade damaging both the Origin's eyes and Head.

"THE LIGHT! IT'S TOO BRIGHT! IT BURNS!" The Origin cried in pain.

"Now!" Zero shouted.

"Cosmic Phoenix!" Ledah shouted swooping in and releasing a giant Phoenix into the ribcage of the Origin.

"Daiguren Hyourinmaru (Great Roaring Coldy Shining Moon)!" Chris shouted sending a giant ice dragon freezing the ribs to the core,"

"Golden Soul Slayer!" Jack shouted shattering the frozen ribs with a golden shock wave shaped like a sword.

"Disaresta!" Ein shouted sending a blast of light into the Pure Darkness Generator shattering it on contact.

"GYAAAAAHHHHHH!!! THIS IS NOT POSSIBLE!!!" The Origin Screamed.

"This is the End! Ragnarok!" Zero shouted splitting the Origin's head.
