Control Revamped

Chapter 10

Love Prevails

Nicky was bent over my body, crying over the lost of her beloved. She never even got to tell me that she still loved me. That she made a mistake by leaving me. That she cried every time she heard a love song. That I was her world. She thought she would never get the chance to tell me at all. Her tears flowed in waterfalls over my face, while the rest of the team teared up around her, Ashley and Lauren holding their heads low, trying not to show the pain in their eyes.

But as sorrow consumed Nicky, and she transformed into Crystal again, there was something horribly wrong. Her sorrow, her hate for Doom, had consumed her. Her fingers grew long and razor sharp claws, her teeth grew to fangs, and her fur slowly turned black as she stood, her aura taking on the form of a demon around her. She had emerged as Demonic Superdark Crystal. Only darkness consumed her heart now.

The rest of the team cowered at the sight of her, backing away as she turned towards doom, tears still flowing from her eyes, the tears slowly turning to tears of blood. "You… YOU! I'LL KILL YOU! III'LL KIIILLL YOOOUUUU!!!" Her screams could be heard for miles. People watching the scene from around the world knew that this wouldn't end well either way.

She finally took to the air and extended her aura in the form of a massive clawed hand, which cut off several of his tentacles, but they grew back in an instant, while the rest of his body grew as well. She then simply glared, and an explosion went off at his shoulder, blasting al the tentacles off in one go. But once again, they repaired and he grew further, becoming more and more behemoth of a monster by the second. But Nicky didn't care. She just wanted to kill him. She rose both hands over her head and created a massive orb of darkness over her, surging with so much power, that the world could feel a sense of imminent doom.

She threw it with all the force she could muster, crashing into Black Doom and exploding with the force of a megaton of TNT. But it didn't work at all. As the smoke faded, Doom hovered above the crater created by the blast, and grew to six times the size of his normal Devil Doom form. It seemed we were all Doomed. Nicky was back on the ground, having used up every last ounce of her Superdark form's power in that attack. She looked back to the sky and glared, ready to use the Chaos Emeralds this time to access the form as tears continued to roll down her cheeks, but something happened at that moment that nobody expected.

"Calm down hun… We'll never be able to beat him this way…" She could feel a hand on her shoulder, and a voice she thought she would never hear again. Her eyes widened as she turned around and saw who it was. Me. The man who had supposedly died only minutes before. I guess they should have checked me for a pulse. I just smiled as I looked into her eyes showing nothing but love. Even after all the sorrow I had been through without her, I was overjoyed to have her back. To know that she still loved me.

Once Nicky had finally gotten a grasp on what was going on, she quickly rushed in and hugged me tight, not wanting to ever let go again. I held on just as tight, maybe even a little tighter, although I kinda doubt that. She was almost crushing my ribs. After a few seconds, I slowly let go and pushed her away gently, giving her a serious stare, then looking back to the others. "Alright guys… there's only one thing we can do that can give us the power to beat a guy like him. And now that everything's out in the open… the Chaos Emeralds should work. You guys ready?"

They all simply nodded, knowing that we were all about to be overwhelmed by an incredible amount of positive chaos energy. A power that we knew we would eventually have to use. We arranged ourselves in a V formation, with me at the front, and Nicky to my right. I couldn't see exactly how the rest of them were in formation, but I could sense the locations of the seven Chaos Emeralds in them. "Ok then… Chaos…"

"CONTROL!" In a great flare of golden light, we slowly transformed into our characters again, and then took on a higher form than we had ever reached before. Our fur and spines and dreads turned golden and aimed to the skies. We had become seven great Super Forms.

"What?! HOW COULD THIS BE?! THE OLD MAN LIED TO ME!!!"

"Face it Doom. You were guaranteed a fate of destruction from the moment you chose to cross us. From the moment you chose to destroy our world."

"We know your tricks inside and out now, and nothing you do can surprise us!"

"So why don't you just lay back and die already so we don't have to take the time to kick your ass?"

Doom glared with his one eye, then roared in discontent, wanting nothing more then to obliterate us.

"Alright then, you asked for it!" All seven of us took off at full speed, each with our own strategy to take him down as a team. I sat back and waited, trying to regain my strength before striking. Grim activated another Oni Blitz and struck right through his left wing, then spun around and struck his right wing, turned around and smirking at the look on his face as he went crashing to the ground.

As he fell, Ashez came up on his right and swiped a laser claw at his shoulder, removing all the tentacle emerging from it, just as Dani created a bladed forcefield and did the same to his left. When his arms were removed, the tentacle forming the miniature Black Comet underneath him split to attack, but Crystal and Liz fired a massive array of light beams and Eclipse Bullets, breaking them off one by one as they lashed out. As a last measure before the final strike, Trozae pulled a quill out of her head and grew it to around ten foot long, filled with paralytic fluid. She then dove down and stabbed Doom in the chest, the fluid quickly streaming throughout his body, leaving him paralyzed.

"Everyone, focus all your chaos energy on me!" I held up my katana to the skies, awaiting their gift of power. They each aimed a hand to my katana, and powerful golden aura's flowed over to me, then sealed onto the edge of my blade, making it capable of cutting through almost anything. I smirked as I stared down Black Doom, who was now only a stump of a body with a head and one eye. "Looks like this is it Doom. Any last words?"

"My brethren in this plan will destroy you all! Just you wait!"

"Don't count on it…" I focused the rest of my power into the blade, then switched the blade into a over handed downward strike position, then threw myself into a spindash. "Super… Control…. BLADE!" At that moment, I stabbed the blade into Doom's eye, and a beam of chaos energy went straight through him, his body quickly burning away from the overload of positive energies. Doom was done. *end 1*

The seven of us quickly powered down and returned to our normal selves, as Nicky and I ran to each other, quickly falling into each other's arms. As we held each other close and tight, I stared deep into her eyes, as well as her into mine. I was ready to say what I hadn't said to her in so long. "I love you Nicky…"

"I love you too Drew…" it was silent for a few moments, until finally, we leaned in and shared out first kiss. I felt me heart skipping beats, and could feel the sun shining down upon us as the clouds faded. Around the world, crowds who had been watching the fight cheered loudly, loud enough for us to hear from the middle of Valley Forge. After a few seconds, we broke our lips apart and looked into each other's eyes with wide smiles, then looked around to see that some of that cheering was closer than we had thought. A crowd of people who wanted to see the fight live was surrounding us on the hillsides, congratulating us for a battle won, and a love rekindled.
