A/N: i hope you are enjoying the story so far. i know that most of you are probably feeling confused about some of the characters that i have added, so this chapter is going to act as clarification for the main bad guy, Cre^dus


'Great, the asshole has pissed around with her,' Batman thought, as he drove the Bat-Mobile through the forests of Middle Zealand, 'why did he have to screw around with my car?'

The Bat-Mobile was now racing at the speed of light, only because Blaze had upgraded the engine and fuel systems. This allowed them to move faster but it did have a slight side effect. From what Delpha and Dark Delpha could explain, they would stay the same whilst the rest of their realm would travel at a faster pace.

"So like time travel?" Benny asked, "Cause that isn't possible."

"Technically that is true," Delpha said, his green flames flickering slightly, "But as you will soon see, Blaze is able to defy the laws physics whenever he wants for the most part."

"Or as long as he sees fit at least," Dark Delpha further explained, "he never does it without reason."

"Okay, and what is his reason for screwing around with my car?" Batman asked.

"Unless you want your worlds to turn to ashes and be without light," Anna retorted, "I'd suggest that you stop complaining."

"Anna is correct," Maria added, "Cre^dus has destroyed many worlds and made extinct many races. He is a force to reckon with."

"We do not know much about this Cre^dus man," Lucy spoke up after some time, "can you enlighten us on that subject."

Delpha and Dark Delpha glanced at each other, and froze for a split second, as if they were talking to one another, before Maria spoke up.

"Blaze is the one who knows the most about our current opponent," She explained, "But getting a lot of information out of him is closest to the hardest thing possible. As I said before for most of his childhood he has been abused by him, and he was used as an experiment of…"

'A large evil,' Blaze said, speaking through everyone's thoughts, 'an evil that I help train, though do not judge me on the actions that I have had no had in choice. I was forced to train Cre^dus and every other Dark Clones. And before you ask, I shall explain everything to you now.

'I think it is best to start with the story of the man, or being, which took me from my adopted parents. The Dark One as he is more commonly known as is man that is without a soul or emotion. His one goal is to complete what his ancestors started, and that was turning the universe into darkness.

'In order to do this, he had to have control over many of the most powerful species there are to date. I just happened to be living with the Elf family Darkrunner, descendants of the Angel clan Darkrunner, when the Dark One heard about a prophecy about me.

'He sought to destroy all who had the name Darkrunner, as to ruin the prophecy. Unknown to him, many magical enchantments had been placed over me, as while as a few genetic spells that meant that I was unable to actually die; lose my current physical form and be sent to the sprit realm yes, but I couldn't go to the underworld or the realm of the dead as many know it. This meant that when the Dark One tried to kill me, I was unaffected by the death curse that he sent at me.

'Known only to a few, there are loopholes in my enchantments, and I have fallen to several different weapons as these loopholes have been stumbled upon. So instead of killing me, the Dark One decided to use me to train an army.'

Blaze feel silent, and everyone was left wondering if he was going to continue. The two ghostly AIs flickered for a moment, before Blaze started again.

'I was still a toddler when this happened, and for the next decade I fought and killed thousands, if not, millions of Dark Clones. All of the Dark Clones, except for Cre^dus, were exactly the same as the Dark One, hence their name, and any who were unable to beat me were either killed by me or Cre^dus.

'Cre^dus was different, because the Dark One knew that there was something about me that stopped him from killing me, and so he cloned me and used those clones as tests as to whether or not he could recreate those exact spells and genetic enchantments. He never succeeded though.

'Cre^dus of course was the closest to me than thought possible, and so the Dark One used some of his own DNA in a serum that caused Cre^dus to become truly evil. And as such serum was created from the Dark One's own DNA, this included the strange force that replicates the DNA of its host to stay alive, Cre^dus soon became my equal.

'When I escaped from my imprisonment, I almost killed Cre^dus, but he survived just like did because of a strange occurrence when the reactor of my prison exploded. We were both had our DNA changed so that we were able to survive what had happened to us.

'While I gained the ability to control energy, turning myself into an infinite powerhouse, Cre^dus was able to slowly regenerate his damaged body tissue. And when he had cybernetic replacements for the legs and arm that took from him, he was able to add them to his own body.

'It wasn't until we met on the home world of the elves that I realised that there were large numbers of similarities between me and Cre^dus. But when he took Anna with him after I killed the Dark One, I was devastated. I did all that I could to get her back, almost attempting to go in on my own to rescue her.'

Everyone looked at Anna as she blushed, but their attention was returned to Blaze as he continued his tale.

'When we met on the planet that he had taken Anna to, I had caused him wounds that should have killed him. But instead a virus that he had ordered created mingled with his own DNA kept him alive. I never saw him again, until he came out of the shadows and took over the Earth Republic, who I had sworn to protect, and I was forced to either fight him or leave so that the troops that I had helped train and I could live to fight another day.

'Anna and Maria told me that it was better to live another day than try and kill him when I was weakened. The humans' enemies, the Klanoat Federation, instantly switched sides and helped us escape, many of their warriors dying on Earth in the process.

'Among the humans and others that stayed behind to defend our rear were Josh and Erath. They perished when I ordered Earth to be destroyed. I still regret that decision today, as it meant that I took the love ones of the two most important people in my life.

'I was killed while negotiating the peace with the Klanoats, and Maria completed the peace treaties as my body was removed from the meeting. Afterwards I spent my time regaining my strength and preparing for the eventuality that I would again face Cre^dus. Oh, how I wish I hadn't been born at times.'

Everyone remained silent after Blaze had finished his story, Anna beginning to realise the extent of Blaze's abuse at last. Emmet and Lucy started to whisper quickly to each other, making sure that no one else could hear them.

When they finally broke apart, Emmet said, "So I'm guessing that you'll want to kill Cre^dus?"

'No, I'd rather not kill him here,' Blaze replied, 'I don't know what he could do when he dies in this realm. I will try and force him to leave these worlds of yours though, and I shall do what I can to get him back to my own world.'

The Bat-Mobile pulled to a sudden stop, and Blaze removed himself and his upgrades from the car. As the other got up and out of the Bat-Mobile, Blaze looked around himself. When Emmet saw the skyscrapers before the group, he almost fell to his knees. Lucy grabbed him though, and pulled him into a hug.

"Behold the chaos that follows Cre^dus," Blaze informed the Master Builders, "for this is what Cre^dus wishes to do to my own world."

Before the group, lay the ruins of the once magnificent city of Bricksburg, darkness surrounding the remaining skyscrapers and other structures. The only sound that could be heard was that of Emmet's crying and the sound of Lucy's calming words.

'I wonder if I would have turned out any different if I had had a real family,' Blaze thought to himself, 'probably not.'
