(hey guys, small creators note here. This is a non-cannon fight and should be taken as such. It's part of my non-cannon cross-verse fight series with my main original character, Ashton Espen Vickery. i will also refer to him as the Eliotson. Nekerus is of course Ashtons sword name. All rights for Omni-Man's character go to the Invincible series creators. Past this short message, please enjoy the fight…)

Ashton dropped down from a platform in the Guardians of the Globe headquarters. Buried deep in a mountain. He'd been late to join the party when a signal was sent out, calling all the guardians and Ashton along with them. He never joined the guardians, Ashton was always off doing his own thing. Especially recently with the events regarding the Shanthan pantheon. Unfortunately, Ashton wasn't met with a lively party upon arrival. There was blood flooding the floor from the guardians corpses, which had all been mangled and gored. There was just one other person Ashton didn't see among the bodies as he studied them. Omni-Man. He turned and looked up to the side of the room, to see Omni-Man hovering 12 feet off the platform looking down at him. The chiseled man glared at Ashton with a look of condemnation, his arms crossed and bloodied.
"You're a little late aren't you?"
omni-Man suddenly swept down in a bolt. Ashton narrowly pulled back to the side and ducked under the Viltumites arm, ripping his sword off his back in the process.

"What the hell are you doing Nolan?"

Mostly unaffected by the blood, Ashton stepped back and put his blade out in front of himself aiming it at Omni-Man. He could feel a cold droplet of sweat run down his temple as he prepared himself to fight a former ally. Nolan of course didn't answer. He narrowed his brow and then turned his leg back around to stomp on the platform with a margin of strength. The platform split and rose up on Ashtons side, sending him up into the knew the Eliotson would be more difficult than the guardians, and he was already prepared for it. Ashton shot up into the air with a grunt, and stabbed his sword into the wall to prevent himself from falling. He placed one foot on the wall to ground himself, and then raised his left wrist about to try and call Cecil. But Omni-Man wouldn't allow that to happen. In another lightning-fast jolt he flew to Ashton and slammed is fist forward trying to break his wrist off. The boy barely pulled away to his right. Nolan swept his arm left, clearing out the entire wall where Ashton was only for his fist to smack against the side of Nekerus. The Eliotson was launched 40 feet to one of the pillars that had previously supported the platform, and clung to it with his blade again.

His eyes looked down, he saw the platform shards holding the guardians bodies fall into what felt like a bottomless pit below. He slashed his blade up to block another one of Nolans incoming attacks. Both of their fists shot into either side of the blade, colliding together. Ashton created a repulsive shock to knock Nolan back from him for a moment ,and leapt off the pillar to the half of the platform below. Omni-Man brought out a second punch and knocked the entire support pillar down. With ease he ripped it away from the wall and SMASHED it down on Ashton; who cut the metal pillar into 2 segments that fell around him crashing through the platform.

Ashtons silver eyes peered up at Omni-Man through loose strands of his messy light brown hair that had fallen over his face from the rapid movements.

"Fine then. Don't talk, you old bastard."

Ashton flaked his armor core out of his jacket and ejected the blade before stabbing it into the core of his chest. Blood dropped from the wound, and his essence powered the suit. It flashed the undersuit as it formed and then the bulkier metal armor snapped together in place over his chest, legs, and arms. Finally the helmet came together in 4 plates over his head, and fused together over his cheeks and the bridge of his face. The eyes lit up a thin gold color as the armor powered on, all four locking onto Omni-Man.

Nolan with little effort tossed the remains of the pillar aside and rolled his knuckles in his palms until they popped.

"Why did you always have to be so difficult to work with?"

"I could ask you the same question, Nolan. But that's what I get for trusting a Viltrumite."

Without another word to say, Omni-Man shot forward, struck both his fists into Ashtons chest armor and punched him all the way through the mountain base the Guardians home resided. Ashtons body was tunneled through rock for hundreds of feet before finally busting out the other side in an eruption, which blew the weight of the mountain out and sent massive chunks of earth in every direction with an avalanche. The Eliotson drifted across the floor of a valley twisting and turning. His sword came flying back to his hand, swerving past Omni-Man back to Ashton. He stabbed it in the ground as he dragged, and then planted both his feet firmly in the earth which shredded itself under him leaving a deep laceration in the crust. He ripped his sword out of the mound that compiled around him and looked up, seeing Omni-Man still blasting full speed toward him with a cold hard killer in his eyes.

Ashton threw his blade out and called it back in slamming his leg up into it as it returned to his hand. A repulsive blast fired out, sending forth a wave of snow dust and boulders into Omni-man's face. Which stopped him just moments from reaching Ashton with the intensity of the blast. Without a second though Omni-Man pencils a kick into the ground and completely ruptured the ground under the Eliotson. The boy let out a small scream feeling the ground rumble like an earthquake was happening, and then watching as he was shot up into the air. Omni-Man pointed his fist up again, and Ashton brought his blade down over his feet to defend himself. While Ashton was airborn the Viltrumite mercilessly shot up at him like a bullet and started to pummel at Ashton with his fist swinging in violent lashing strikes. Each one harder than the last. Ashton swords his blade around periodically, knocking it into Omni-Man's knuckles and cutting his arms up until blood was splattering on the ground below them but Omni-Man didn't stop. Instead he flew under Ashton, and with one single well placed strike knocked him into the sky like he was playing with a toy ball.

Ashton soared up, his ankle twisted inside its metal shell. He recovered from his flinch, looking back down to Omni-Man again from all the way in orbit. Vickery pointed Nekerus straight down and fired his blade with a full strike down to Omni-Man as the titanous man blew through the air up to him. His speed so great he started to ignite the atmosphere around him in dense explosions, leaving a hot trail of destruction through the clouds. He burst through the 2nd and 3rd cloud layer to the Eliotson, then— PANG– the sword smashed down on Omni-Man colliding full force into both his forearms knocking him back several feet and completely cutting off all momentum in an instant. Explosions rippled out from Nolan's instant stop, and fired out around him in all directions through the clouds. The heavy busting head of the sword cut all the way down into the bones of both of Omni-Man's arms. He grunted, his teeth gritting together but he showed no signs of fear. He threw the sword back into the sky at Ashton.

The Eliotson grabbed the handle of his sword as it flew back up to him, he knocked Nolan away to his side when he arrived and shortly turned to face him. Omni-Man turned back around, clutching both his fists together tightly in his gloves.

"Damn it Nolan.. Why are you doing this?!"

Omni-Man narrowed his eyes to Ashtons question. For a second he looked like he would strike. But then spoke up in a dark conquering tone.

"You should know full well why. You know my people. You know why I'm here. I am a Viltumite, Ashton. This is what i'm supposed to do-"

Omni-Man gestured down to the planet as he was about to continue but Ashton cut him off, pulling his sword out in front of him.

"No, I mean WHY? You found solace here, you found people ready to welcome you here. You're just gonna throw all of that away for some stupid empire?-"

"You'd shut your mouth if you knew what you were talking about! I have served under this empire for thousands of years, Ashton Vickery, and this planet- this filthy ball of weaklings- is just another drop in that bucket. We are in every way better than them. Look at them. Look at these.. Things. They're animals. Compared to me- compared to you too."

"They're every bit as worthwhile as you are!"

"No they aren't. They're lesser. Fragile, small, helpless. The empire is here to bring peace to them. Think about the thousands of years of technology we could put them ahead on. We could eliminate all struggles on Earth as their protectors. We could solve global issues, end world hunger; fix the environment that by the way they destroyed! They would be living in heaven compared to what they are living in right now; like pigs."

Ashton looked down at the Earth, his helmet momentarily retracting as he viewed the grass green continents and yellow lights lining the many streets of cities all across the globe. As an intelligible person he would listen to Omni-Man's argument. That, however, did not mean he agreed with it in the slightest. His helmet snapped back together over his face.

"Well.. if that's the case.. Then I have just one thing to tell you."

The eyes gleamed coldly between the slits of his helmet.

"There's only one Alien freak that gets to terrorize this planet."

Disappointed with the response Nolan raised his curled fists again.

"So be it."

Cecil's voice suddenly cut into Ashtons com system. At first through static then into a full voice. Standing in the center of his monitoring room Cecil Stedman put his hand in his pocket and curled his fingers anxiously.

"Ashton. Ashton what's going on up there with you and Omni-Man?"

Nolan looked at Ashtons helmet side, and then back into his helmet's eyes. Both stood still as if sizing up what to do next. Suddenly Ashton brought his hand up and pressed the response tab on the side of his helmet.

"Cecil he's—"

*BOOM*

Ashtons microphone cut out into static, Omni-Man knocked him all the way from orbit down to Berlin in a heartbeat the moment he touched his mike. He curved through the atmosphere, popping clouds around him as he blasted through them, until finally in a blur crashing into the ground. He was dragged for miles on end through a crater, all the way through the city in a straight line. Highways, buildings, skyscrapers, and entire city blocks collapsed on themselves. A wave of dust and ash blew across the streets following the Eliotson. In less than a second thousands of lives were extinguished and in their place fires rose. Cecil groaned in frustration seeing Ashton go silent. He could see the trajectory of his crash. Immediately he commanded;

"I want drones on that scene to monitor everything asap. And get evacuation teams on the ready to save any survivors. NOW."

Ashton in a partially unconscious state dragged himself out of the crater. He could feel his head ringing in pain. As he tried to stand he found his knees weak even with his armor and he fell over using his sword as a crutch. He retracted all of his armor, and wiped his face clean of sweat and blood, which started to run down from his lip. He opened his eyes again, following the path of death that stretched out further than he could see.. Then through the husky flaming air he saw the figure of a tall muscular man float down through the steam out in front of him. Omni-man. He glared at Ashton with a look of spite..

"Do you really think you can stop me…?"

Ashton rolled his shoulders up and took his sword out of the ground. His armor hauled back over his body and clipped together.

"Piss off Nolan. If your stupid empire rears its head on this planet again after I send your corpse to their door, they'll be sorry."

"I'm ready when you are."

He dropped down and caught the side of a massive leaning building which had been broken off its foundation. With ease he ripped the entire building out of the ground and hurled it like a spear at the Eliotson. Ashton slid his legs back feeling one of his limiters snap in his head with a blink. On tired stretched legs he leapt into the air and cleaved Nekerus through the roof of the building. He brought the godly sword back well over 50 times in a moment's notice and moled through the roof. On the inside as the building crashed back into the ground he pounced from wall to wall on the building's interior, slashing hundreds of times through infrastructure. Chunks of splintered room spiraled out around him as he spun through and then busted out the other end of the building right in Omni-Man's face. He shoved past his stamina leak, drawing his sword back on more time and butchering it down with a thunderous crackle into Omni-man's shoulder. It went deep, nearly taking the Viltumites entire arm off. Omni-man's face lit up with surprise as he felt the blade lacerate through his bone into his chest.

The Viltumite huffed and slapped Ashton back down into the ground, marking shockwaves off his arm from impact speed alone. The sword was still embedded deep in Nolans shoulder. Ashton hit the ground, breaking a rib and forming an even deeper part of the crater under him. This time Ashton was faster to pull out of the ground. He reached his hand up and called the sword while still embedded in Omni-Man's shoulder. The Viltumite turned around feeling the tug on the blade and started flying back full speed. He shot off planet in almost an instant. Leaving a trail of explosions behind his form as he flew out into space, and in less than a few seconds toward the moon. He stirred cosmic winds under his legs, the vacuum siphoned around his body and he started to breach near light speed. 60% the speed of light. 80% the speed of light. Then—... 70% the speed of light. The hooks on Nekerus started to sink into Omni-man's ribs like the jaws of a predator, crunching down on them.

Ashtons other arm reached up from the smoke and fire. He started to call the sword back to his hand. Nekerus, indefinitely loyal to its wielder, began to return. Omni-man's ribs cracked and started to break under the pressure. His tense arms began to loosen as the pain took place. His trail of flight curved. And he slowed. Barely 20% the speed of light. 15%, 10%, 4%. Blood splashed up from Omni-Man's lip and finally he just let go. Nekerus's recall and Omni-Man's trajectory reached a neutrality and Omni-Man stopped entirely. His eyes widened more as he felt himself get jerked back. The blade dragged him all the way back to Earth. Past the moon, down to the burned charred surface in Berlin where nothing but fire hailed from Nolan's attempt to leave. The Viltumite looked down, struggling on the hooks and huffing as one penetrated into his right lung.

He looked down, seeing the golden glow of 4 eyes in the hazy fog of smoke. In one last attempt Omni-Man drew his fist back and swung out into the darkness with all his might making the entire smoke screen disperse into thin air. The first thing he saw was Ashton ducking under, his hands wrapping around the blade's handle. In a swift motion Asahton ripped Nelkerus out and stabbed out straight through the center of Omni-man's chest, breaking through his ribcage, going through the heart, and all the way out the other end. Omni-Man was skewered and held up into the air.

"Where are you going?!.. Party isn't over yet."

Omni-man's eyes went hollow quickly, his hands wrapped around the sword length trying to break it. But it was too late for the Viltrumite. Ashton cleaved his sword free, splitting Omni-man in half going out. The Eliotson let the body drop into the burning ground around him, and kicked it out of the fire onto the crushed remains of the building Omni-Man threw at Ashton. Blood dripped and rained over the already crimson red suit Ashton wore. Making it shine a dark red. Ashton stepped out of the flames, and shook his blade off of blood. He reached up to his coms link. As soon as he no longer needed it, his limiter reapplied itself.

"Cecil.. Send medical staff immediately to my location.. Omni-Man is decommissioned.. I'll explain when I get there."
