Lightning flashed outside, highlighting the darkness of Sammael's cabin. The King of the Fallen was seemingly asleep until the light from the lightning flashed over him and he opened his eyes.
"While a leader is expected to be the one to make the vast majority of decisions, there are times when he must yield authority to an ally or subordinate."
The Grimm Seer showed images of people in a position of command.
Phil Ken Sebben is shown in his office, speaking with several Huntsmen ranging from Dracon, Major Glory, Scotty Blake, Omnimon, Nier and several others…
"The reason can vary from an admission of someone else having a unique form of expertise."
Yellow Diamond is shown on the Gem Homeworld, giving orders to her forces before leaving her Pearl in charge.
"Or perhaps it is the current position, where the leader finds himself unable to command."
Blue Diamond is shown next, having been frozen by Omnimon and her Pearl is shown giving orders before she is next shown slicing Mr. Roboto to pieces with her scythe.
"Or when a subordinate is at the right place at the right time."
Obsidian is shown next, having taken command of the Racing Drones while Gelorum leaves to reach the Accelerons.
"There are times when a leader must anticipate when he is not in a position to issue commands, likely due to a lack of communication or has been incapacitated in some manner."
Pacifica is shown next, giving orders on behalf of her 'father'.
"Leaving the subordinate with a general form of instruction but is left to carry out his leader's order with his own initiative, trying to adapt to the constant change of the situation around him."
With Gelorum's defeat, Obsidian takes command of the Racing Drones. Kiva is shown next, piloting MEGAS in Coop's place, trying to catch up to the Karajor.
"It is a very difficult time as the subordinate would likely not being enjoying himself as leader, but forced with the responsibilities and the need for diligence now thrust upon him."
Toffee is shown next, having overthrown Ludo and taken command of his monster crew.
"In a moment of weakness, it's easy for group unity to fall apart with the other subordinates questioning their new leader. This can lead to infighting at the worst timing possible."
Van Kleiss is then shown, rallying the Legion of Doom and the villains he has recruited to work with him.
"And yet, those who believe themselves having no fear at all of their new positions, already betray themselves by showing the overconfidence that leads to disaster."
Van Kleiss is shown again on the planet of another universe, trapped there as the star goes supernova. Vexus is shown next, just at the moment when she is bisected by Scotty Blake.
"It is in those moments, when mantle of leadership is truly tested and decides who will learn and grow to become the next leader."
Sammael in his Unleashed Fallen Form looks up in time to be blasted by the Warsat satellite in orbit of Earth.
"And who will break apart."
Sammael grinned as the lightning flashed again.
Xxx
"Dudes! Are you seeing this?! The Infraggable Krunk is literally kicking butt on that Sammael guy!" Rigby was awestruck watching the hero fight with such veracity.
When they witnessed Krunk… losing his head, they never expected him to literally grow a new one which was both awesome and gross as they had never seen this power of his before.
"Oh, please tell me we got that on vid!" Mordecai wanted to remember this for the rest of his life that he was here in history.
"It's incredible for someone like him to even possess this power." North was amazed he had not fallen, but with the aid of his comrades at his side they were almost pushing the Fallen King to his limits… if there is one.
But even though they were at an advantage of surviving, more and more Grimm came at a never-ending sight. Suddenly he received a text, as did everyone else which they found was sent by Sebben, what they saw on the text made their colors drain away when they received a warning of a beam that will fire on the very spot they were on.
"THEY'RE GONNA SHOOT A CANNON FROM SPACE?!" Muscle Man freaked out and didn't see that coming.
He was lucky High 5 Ghost was on the airship, he'd totally freak out about this.
Ross swallowed with sweat on his face. "It wouldn't happen unless there was a whole horde of Grimm which we're on right now!"
Yara didn't need to be asked twice, she immediately shot her hands out and created many portals for them to take. "Everyone get in now! Before we get vaporized!"
"Racoons first!" Rigby cried out over the fear of getting blown away and jumped through the portal before the others rushed though as they could see the beam of light descending from the skies.
Ross wasted no time to warn Erika. "Erika? Did you get a message from Sebben?"
"Yeah, we're taking cover behind the mountain now! By Odin's sake, you better do the same and get out of there!"
Xxx
"General! Something is coming from orbit and heading straight towards us and the Grimm!" One Of Skarr's enforcers cried out, catching the Fallen General off guard for such a warning.
Skarr turned his head to see a beam of light come down from the sky and pierced the Galleon, blasting it apart and impacting the ground…
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
The beam didn't stop with just the Galleon.
It traveled along the ground towards the Grimm army as it continued to approach the Nowhere Mountains.
"Pull back!" Skarr shouted. "Pull our forces back!"
Xxx
Jujunga and Superboy paused their fight, seeing the beam of light shooting down from the sky and impacting something in the direction of the Grimm army.
Jujunga narrowed his eyes.
Xxx
At the same time, Gentle-Jim paused his duel with Genki Sanban and SAM-R-I, watching as the Galleon went down in flames.
"Oh dear. I can't say for sure that we saw that one coming." The Gentleman of the Invisible Hand admitted.
Xxx
Boris paused as he turned to see the explosion.
"My, my, my." I commented, sitting on Boris' left shoulder. "It seems that they had an ace to play."
"But was that the only surprise this day?" Am commented from the other shoulder.
"Bah." Boris turned around. "We keep moving. Find enemy stronghold."
"What about the master?" I asked.
"Yes, what about the master?" Am agreed.
"Master will be fine. Not even weapon satellite could take him down." Boris stated, waving off the weapon that had just destroyed the Galleon. "Master will be back soon and he will want us to continue plan."
"Indeed, he would." I and Am snickered.
Xxx
"Doctor-"
"FULL STOP!" Dr. Eggman shouted, seeing the beam moving from where the Galleon had been and was heading straight for the army. "Pull the Badniks back!"
Xxx
Obsidian narrowed his optics at seeing a beam destroy the Galleon and was now moving towards the army. "It must be a weaponized satellite in orbit above us."
"Who could have the resources to fire a weapon like that?" Eggman questioned on the drone comm channel.
"Possibly Global Justice." Obsidian answered. "If not them, then possibly the Guardian Units of Nations."
"GUN." Eggman growled. "I should have dismantled that organization from the inside out when I had the chance."
"All we know for sure is that it was someone against us." Obsidian continued. "Given that we were the only ones to suffer casualties."
Strika turned to a screen. "Accessing drone network…"
The screen showed a satellite indeed above Nowhere.
"A Warsat satellite." Strika narrowed her optics.
"All units, pull back immediately." Obsidian ordered through the drone network. "Thrust, Tankor, report back to the command center."
"Light beam…blinding." Tankor's voice could be heard.
"Where's Jetstorm?" Thrust questioned.
"He has been brought back here to the command center for repairs." Strika answered. "Now hurry. I estimate the Warsat will be able to destroy anything in a five-mile radius from its initial target. Sammael was in the center of that."
"He'll return in time, but we must hold the line." Obsidian replied.
"Leave that to me." General Skarr's face appeared on another screen. "Sammael made me a general for a reason."
"Very well." Obsidian nodded.
Xxx
"Whoa, did you see that?!"
With the heroes, some are commenting similar things about the blast, some of them were in awe like Mordecai and Rigby who saw the whole thing as cool.
Skips was staring at the mushroom cloud, having sensed a familiar evil. "So, it was him all along."
"You know something, Skips?" Muscle Man asked, noticing something off about the Yeti.
"Nothing at the moment." Skips admitted, turning away and sighing. "Just that it's probably going to be a really long day."
Muscle Man and Fives shared a look but said nothing.
Skips in the meantime skipped a few feet away from them, sat down with his legs crossed and closed his eyes.
'If King of the Grimm is really here, that weapon will only incapacitate him temporarily. He'll be back.' Skips thought to himself. 'And he'll be out for blood.'
Xxx
"That…Was…AMAZING!" Yara exclaimed with stars in her eyes. "They've had this weapon this whole time and no one told me?!"
"It's a weapon of last resort and given what we have been through it was well justified." North commented.
Xxx
With Sebben and his communication with Ana and Abraham Tower.
"Rasputin has confirmed that both the Galleon and Sammael have been taken out." Ana said.
"That'll keep him down for a few hours." Sebben said with a sigh. "His immortality has always made it a nuisance in dealing with him."
"I'm more concerned with the location of the Fire Elemental." Commander Tower said. "You told us that Sammael most likely acquired her after she left the Tennyson family. But she was unlikely to have been on the Galleon during the battle, Sammael wouldn't have risked losing her by keeping her on an open target."
"Agreed Abraham, Sammael needs Miss Yamamoto to get the Gem of Heart." Sebben says with a nod of his head. "But the question is how he intends on getting her to the Chamber of Heart?"
"In the meantime, me and Tower here have to deal with the UN and World Council." Ana stated to Sebben. "While I did unveil Rasputin to them a few weeks and how he was to be working alongside the Huntsmen Association, Global Justice, and Tower's Guardian Units of the Nations, we weren't supposed to use the Warsats for any operations on Earth yet."
"We may be able to use the Galleon's destruction to talk our way out of this situation Ms. Bray." Tower stated to Ana. "When it comes to these situations, they always want results instead of excuses."
"I wish you both the best of luck then." Sebben stated as both the GUN Commander and the head of Clovis Bray logged off from their ends.
Xxx
General Skarr scowled from seeing the beam from above take out the Galleon, Sammael and most of the Grimm within a five-mile radius.
They didn't anticipate that the Huntsmen would use a satellite of all things on them.
'Still, Sammael ordered me to take command if something unexpected happened to him.' Skarr grinned. 'I guess it's time to reveal our trump card.'
He brought out a Tablet and made a call. "Team TRMT, are you in position?"
"Yeah, we are. What happened to Sammael?" A reptilian voice replied.
"There has been an unexpected development. For the time being, I am taking command of the army." Skarr answered. "Do you still have the eggs and are in position like Sammael told you?"
"Yes."
"Good." Skarr's smile widened. "Do it."
Xxx
(War Outside by DrownMili Starts)
Deep inside the mountains that made up the rocky region called the Nowhere Mountains, each member of Team TRMT was carrying a black egg to four different locations. For buried underneath these mountains was something not even Van Kleiss had been aware of.
"So, the boss had these Grimm pools set up even before he helped Van Kleiss?" The Claw asked, holding a single Grimm egg in his hands.
"Yes." Skarr spoke through the intercom in the Claw's ear. "A contingency plan in case he and the Hydra were occupied."
In another location, deep inside a mountain separate from the Claw, Myotis was holding his own Grimm egg, standing before an underground pool.
An underground pool of darkness that is.
"And what will hatch when they are bathed in these Grimm pools?" The bat-Mobian questioned.
"You'll see. Now drop them into the pools and leave post hate."
The four members dropped the four eggs they had been holding into their respective pools and took off like Skarr had advised. At first nothing happened…
Then the dark waters began to bubble rapidly with each passing second before finally, they exploded upwards, shooting up through the cavern ceilings. The Dark Substance shot up through the mountain, piercing the very top of each mountain the pools had been buried under. The Grimm matter splashed and spread all over the mountains, becoming absorbed into the rocks and creating purple and red veins that traveled down the mountains and into the very ground.
Xxx
Sebben spun around, seeing something forming in the distance as the Gem of Sight flashed underneath his eyepatch. "…Miasma Hulks."
Xxx
The new Grimm were gigantic, as big and tall as a mountain with legs and arms. Their faces were covered in blackened stone with glowed red eyes and a red gaping maw with black teeth. Their bodies began to burn, seemingly having absorbed magma into their bodies. Black, purple crystals sprouted from their shoulders and their stone bodies were turning pitch black from the Grimm matter and magma coursing their bodies.
These were a special kind of Grimm known as Miasma Hulks.
It's a war outside, they just wanna see me dead
General Skarr grinned from his position. "Contingency activated."
The eyes of the Miasma Hulks glowed and they each let out a deafening roar. Anyone nearby were forced to cover their ears from the sheer loudness of each roar.
And now I'm thinking 'bout the other side, I can't get you out my head
Dr. Eggman watched from his Egg Carrier that had pulled back. "Oh, so that was Sammael's back up plan if he was removed from the field. Well done, General Skarr."
Now I can't get you out my head now
Skarr then turned his head, seeing in the distance Capital G had paused his fight the Hydra, looking surprised to see the four Miasma Hulks forming from the mountains. "Let's take care of the pain in our rear. First volley!"
They wanna pump us up with lead now
The Miasma Hulks raised their arms as the purple crystals in their shoulders began to glow. Their hands morphed into giant boulders that were immediately hurled into the air. Everyone on the ground watched in stunned awe as the massive boulders flew through the air with astounding speed.
Now we can't get up out the bed now
Their target: Capital G.
The giant hero grunted as he quickly rolled out of the way of the boulders made of stone, magma and the Grimm matter known as the Dark Substance. The Hydra Grimm let out a roar, flexing its wings.
Now all we really see is red now
"And just so you don't get the idea of using that satellite again." Skarr pointed to the sky which the Hydra Grimm immediately followed.
I can't get you out my head now
Flexing its wings, the Hydra took off into the air.
"NO!" Capital G shouted, leaving himself open as another barrage of giant boulders were hurled at him.
I can't get you out my head
POW!
SMASH!
POW!
SMASH!
POW!
SMASH!
ZAP!
BOOM!
Luckily, they were all intercepted by Major Glory, Valhallen and the Infraggable Krunk.
No, I can't get you out my head now
"It's going for the satellite that took out Sammael!" Capital G pointed to the air.
No, I can't get you out my head
"Not if I can help it!" Major Glory replied and shot off into after the eight headed Grimm.
It's a war outside, somebody call the feds
ZAP!
That was when several bolts of lightning shot down from the dark clouds, all of them hitting Major Glory.
"GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" The major howled as he was blasted out of the air.
So I can up it at their heads
General Skarr chuckled. "You didn't think we wouldn't account for you, Major."
They wanna pump us up with meds
As Krunk caught the stunned Major Glory, Valhallen looked up and saw dozens of jellyfish shaped Grimm hiding in the clouds, releasing and absorbing electricity that took the shape of lightning bolts.
'They formed a literal net above us!' Valhallen scowled.
Yeah, my brain is the potion
"Air division! Strike down on the Justice Friends!" Skarr shouted, bring his arm down.
Ayy, your brain is the potion
ZAP!
ZAP!
ZAP!
ZAP!
ZAP!
One by one, the jellyfish Grimm in the sky rained down lightning on the Justice Friends who were forced to dodge or retreat.
They say it's causing a commotion
"GAH!" Capital G grunted as several bolts hit him, forcing him to shrink down.
Well, my chopper is explosive
Valhallen flew in on his Mighty Axe and picked up Capital G, shot off, moving faster than the speed of lightning.
Wait, I can't give a fuck now
SAM-R-I stood next to White Tiger, using his own powers over lightning to create a literal barrier to protect them both.
My middle finger stuck now
"Oh Glob!" T-Bone shouted, the TurboKat shooting at high speeds to get away from the lightning. "Sorry, Sebben. We have to pull out! There's too much lightning and we're going to be fried if we stay."
And now I'm picking up the gun now
The TurboKat shot off over the Nowhere Mountains, Sebben watching from the ground, understanding why the Swat Kats had to retreat.
'Cause I don't give a fuck now
In the meantime, the Hydra named Grimm Ghidorah reached the upper atmosphere and glared upwards, spotting the satellite that had destroyed their master and his Galleon.
'Cause we don't give a fuck now
With a roar, the Hydro shot up with amazing speed, its eight mouths opening and from them came four beams of lightning that combined into one.
'Cause we don't give a fuck now
The now single beam of lightning shot up, to fast and bright to be seen by the naked eye and in a mere instant, the Warsat satellite was no more.
Now they're upping up their guns now
"In a battle, he who moves fastest in controlling the land, sea and the sky is he who grasps victory." Skarr stated, grinning as his Fallen senses allowed him to sense the Hydra destroying the Warsat satellite.
'Cause we don't give a fuck now
"Funny you should say that."
It's a war outside, they just wanna see me dead
Skarr frowned, spotting Tiki-Torch emerging from the ground, his body burning so much his skin had turned pitch black.
And now I'm thinking 'bout the other side, I can't get you out my head
"I say, the bigger they are the harder they fall." Tiki turned to glance at the nearest Miasma Hulk.
Now I can't get you out my head now
ZAP!
ZAP!
ZAP!
They wanna pump us up with lead now
Just as he had turned around, three bolts of lightning shot down on him but he was already on the move, catching all three bolts with…His hands?
Now we can't get up out the bed now
"Do you know in some cultures that lightning is considered an expression of fire?" Tiki Torch questioned as the electricity circled through his body. "Energy split into positive and negative."
Now all we really see is red now
He began preforming circular motions with his arms. "Forming an imbalance that seeks to corrects itself. "
'Cause I can't get you out my head now
"The moment the energy comes back together, it must be released immediately." He then forced the energy to travel through his arm and then through his stomach. "But we can step further and harness the energy of nature around us!"
'Cause I can't get you out my head
He pointed his right fingers at the nearest Miasma Hulk and let loose a stream of lightning from the three bolts he had absorbed.
ZAP!
BOOM!
No, I can't get you out my head now
The Miasma Hulk that had been hit let out a pained roar as the lightning blasted into its shoulder. However it was not enough to destroy it or even its arm.
No, I can't get you out my head
Tiki-Torch turned his head and glared darkly at Skarr. "By all means, continue to shoot lightning at me and comrades. Myself, Valhallen and SAM-R-I will be enough to turn all that power against you."
Your brain is the potion
SAM-R-I and White Tiger rushed over to Tiki-Torch and Valhallen flew in with a shrunk Capital G on his shoulder, followed by Krunk and a recovering Major Glory.
Ayy, my brain is the potion
"And apparently you didn't hear me when I said control, the land, sea and sky." Skarr remarked with a sly grin.
The four Miasma Hulks turned and marched in their directions.
Yeah, your brain is the potion
And falling down from the sky was none other than the Hydra Grimm.
Ayy, my brain is the potion
Five Kaiju class Grimm all at once.
It's a war outside, they just wanna see me dead
Major Glory stepped forward and took a deep breath.
And now I'm thinking 'bout the other side, I can't get you out my head
"Justice Friends…" He muttered as the surrounding monsters roared.
Now I can't get you out my head now
"Assemble."
(War Outside by DrownMili Ends)
INFINITY TRAIN ARC
Opening File: The Gem of Creation
One of the Twelve Spiral Gems left behind by the Six-Founding Spiral, the Gem of Creation much like its name implies, holds the power of creation. In the hands of a holder, it can create almost anything as like as the holder holds both the designs and the resources needed. In simple terms, it is like becoming the perfect blacksmith but in the hands of a wielder, the Gem of Creation's true power is unleashed. With the true power of Creation, any wielder can go as far as to create anything, even entire worlds.
The Gem of Creation's power is virtually unlimited aside from the fact that it cannot outright destroy, thus it cannot be used as a weapon.
Creating a weapon on the other hand though…
It has been considered that the Gem can even create weapons that ignore the laws of physics, such as simply imagining a gun that can shoot literal blackholes into existence. As such, there is no true way to understate the potential of Creation, from using one's imagination to create anything they believe.
However, the second greatest limit to the Gem of Creation is that it cannot create life.
At least, it cannot create pure sapient life with a soul. While fashioning a world would be easy, even creating one's own ideas of the laws the world will be made to follow, it cannot create life in the same manner as sentient beings. At the very best, it can only create a form of life meant to mimic real life forms and only if these mimics have a purpose 'programmed' into them that could lead to the possible evolution from a mimic into a true form of life.
Still, despite these limitations, Creation remains as a great power, a primordial source of power that exists in the universe. It is speculated that the last wielder of the Gem of Creation, used it to create a pocket dimension to hide the Gem itself in, protecting it from those seeking to corrupt its purpose. It is unknown if the Gem is truly there, has been removed or was even there to begin with.

"I think they've found it."
Amelia and Hazel didn't know it at the time, but their journey in the Mysterious Maze Car had not gone unnoticed.
"This is likely the car that is mean to hold the Gem of Creation."
And they would lead Mandy right to it.
This would be the start of her destiny.
Though she was a Newborn of her kind, Mandy already had great ambitions.
To one day rise as an all-powerful queen and replace Sammael as the leader of the Grimm and the Fallen.
And the first step would be taking the Gem of Creation.
Twelve Gems, left behind by six powerful beings.
Sammael had been seeking these gems for a millennium, patiently waiting, plotting, and searching for clues to the Gems. Mandy could respect his patience, intellect, and power…
But that would not dissuade her from her goal.
'I am not like other Fallen who seemingly are cowed because Sammael happens to be the strongest, just because he is the oldest of us. My own experience and perhaps my soul's…darker nature has allowed me a form of clarity. I've come to realize that the Fallen and the Grimm are similar, not just in their dark nature but due to the fact that their instincts are exactly like that of the law of the jungle, the strong ruling the weak.'
In Mandy's mind, she could see Sammael standing atop a cliff, watching as an endless army of Gramm gathered down below, roaring up to him.
'Not that there's anything wrong with that. In this world, only the strongest can claim to be any form of leader.'
The army marches at Sammael's command as he raises a single finger and points them to head out into the world.
'And yet, there is a single flaw in this design: Sammael. He doesn't send the Grimm out to dominate the Earth, fights against only those who threaten the world but has allowed mankind to not only survive, but to thrive in a world where they would be at the bottom of the food chain.'
Mandy herself, now seen with an aura of fire surrounding her as she rises over the ruins of civilization.
'The Grimm deserve a leader that has not gone against their very nature…Someone…Like…Me.'
And it would all start when she got her hands on the Gem of Creation.

"Freeze!"
The Avatar froze again but easily broke the spell.
"Freeze!"
"Freeze!"
"FREEZE!"
"FRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"
With each time the spell was cast, the Avatar seemed to break free faster and faster and each time it did, Xavier became more and more desperate. His movements were faster and more agile but he was becoming fearful as the Spider Knight was able to close the distance between them faster and faster.
His Semblance was becoming ineffective, and he was running out of time.
Luckily, his Semblance was not the only power he had at his disposal.
(The Man Without Fear By Rob Zombie Starts)
Just the Avatar managed to land a slash on his shoulder, black blood shot out and seemingly came alive, becoming sharp spikes that pierced the Avatar's hand.
"RAGH!" The Avatar screeched.
Xavier grinned.
Go!
POW!
He followed up with a blow to the chest, knocking the Avatar of the Spider back, watching as it crashed onto the far end of the car.
Can you feel it
The Avatar snarled as it stood back up, the wounded hand healing in a matter of seconds and glared hatefully at Xavier.
Xavier responded with two fingers, a daring gesture to provoke the Avatar to attack him yet again.
The perfect day
The Spider themed knight let out a screech as eight spider legs emerged from its back, piercing the roof of the car and lifted the knight into the air.
"Well, that's new." Xavier admitted.
"SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEECCCCCCCCCCCHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
Scratch the leaved
The Avatar lunged at Xavier, its pincer legs leaving behind holes in the roof of the car with each step it took. Xavier grunted and jumped back, landing on the next car, turning around to see the Spider Knight leap off the car and fell straight towards him.
The paper tears
"Dissolve!" The Spider Knight shouted and a stream of purple colored ooze shot out of its mouth.
Xavier dodged but noticed smoke rising from the ooze that hit the car and could see it eating away at the roof. 'Acid. Better not let touch me.'
The world I'm feeling start giving away
The Spider didn't stop there, holding out his hands and actually firing energy blasts.
BLAST!
BLAST!
BLAST!
BLAST!
BLAST!
A perfect day
Xavier hastily somersaulted back, jumping onto the roof the next car, barely avoiding being hit more than once.
A perfect day
Once he was out of range, he lifted his sunglasses and his eyes glowed red before twin beams of red light shot out, aimed straight at the Spider Avatar who conjured an energy barrier around itself to block the attack.
BOOM!
Everything was shapeless is clear now
Xavier smirked, lowering his sunglasses back over his eyes, waiting for the smoke to clear and show whether or not his opponent had perished.
"SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEECCCCCCCCCCCHHHHHHHHHHHH!" The Spider Knight screeched and lunged through the smoke with a furious glare.
I visualize with a drop of sound
Holding out its hands, strings made of pure web shot out and latched onto the edge of the car Xavier stood on. The Spider Knight stepped back, stretching the web strings until he was far enough that when he jumped, the webs pulled him forward and he was launched right at Xavier like a missile.
I am the man without fear
"Come and get me." Xavier taunted, grinning as the Spider Knight let out another screech.
"SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEECCCCCCCCCCCHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
You can't hurt me (no)
Just as the Spider Knight was about to strike Xavier with its outstretched spider legs, Xavier shot up into the air, jumping over the avatar.
You can't stop me (no)
The Spider Knight twisted its body and aimed a wrist at Xavier's leg, managing to latch onto it with a web string and with a might pull, Xavier was pulled down from the air and heading straight into the Avatar's waiting and deadly embrace.
You can't beat me (no)
Xavier's body pulsed back, black and purple vein markings appearing around his arms, legs and even traveling up his neck towards his temples just before the sharp pincer legs slammed down on him.
CLING!
You can't bring me down!
Xavier grinned as a purple aura surrounded him. "Dark Blood Vein. This ability is used by Fallen to harden their own bodies, using the their Grimm blood to make them virtually invincible, especially when combined with Aura. Not the legs of an avatar of the Spider can pierce it. And here's another little trick I learned that Fallen can use: Shadow Embrace!"
C'mon daredevil
The Avatar of the Spider was caught by surprise as the dark vein pattern protecting Xavier spread along its spider legs.
"Be devoured in darkness! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Xavier proclaimed with a mad cackle.
C'mon
The dark veins in the spider legs spread out and the Spider Knight could feel its spider dissolving into the blackness that was spread through them and was about to reach the main body. With a grunt, the Spider Knight held a hand over its shoulder…
BLAST!
BLAST!
BLAST!
BLAST!
And with four precise energy blasts, severed the eight spider legs sprouting from its back.
C'mon
"SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEECCCCCCCCCCCHHHHHHHHHHHH!" The Spider Knight screeched in pain from destroying its own legs but jumped back before the dark veins from Xavier's Shadow Embrace could finish it off.
C'mon
The Spider Knight landed several feet away, now glaring hatefully at Xavier with eight glowing red eyes.
C'mon
Xavier simply smiled back, silently taunting the Avatar into attack…
Hello lady
Which it did by teleporting from its spot and reappearing right behind Xavier who blinked before his danger senses screamed at him.
She takes my hand
The Spider's hand glowed, producing a glowing blade of energy that he swung slashed at Xavier who jumped over the blade before it struck him.
Delicate features in this rain
Xavier's hands pulsed and turned completely black as he spun around and actually blocked the next slash with his bare hands.
I lose everything
The two traded punches and kicks as they fought up and down several cars with Xavier's Dark Blood Vein protecting him from the Spider-Avatar's energy sword.
Can I dream
Xavier moved with high speed, punching and kicking at the Spider-Knight, cracking his armor with a few hits.
The voices scream
SWISH!
The Spider-Knight just barely avoided a kick to its head.
The voices shout
It tried slashing at Xavier who somersaulted back, landing perfectly on his feet, a bloodthirsty grin appearing on his face.
Everything was evil now clear
The Spider-Knight glared back, eyes burning with hate.
I hear the darkness without sound
They stared for a moment…
I am the man without fear
And then charged once again into battle, winner take all.
You can't bring me down!
Only Xavier stopped and opened his mouth, releasing a power scream accompanied by shockwaves that blew the Spider-Knight back.
C'mon daredevil
The Spider-Knight let out a surprised screech as it was went sent flying back.
C'mon
CRASH!
C'mon
CRASH!
C'mon
CRASH!
C'mon
THUD!
Finally, after skidding across several cars, the Spider Knight finally came a stop, sliding to the edge of the car it had landed on.
Justice is blind
"It's funny. You think an avatar of a being of the Pit of Hate would be powerful but that would imply the Spider was anything to be feared." Xavier remarked as he landed on the other end of the car and slowly approached the downed Avatar.
I trust you
"But the truth, the Spider has only ever been a coward, a bully disguising itself as the Eater of Worlds." Xavier grew ever closer, his right-hand pulsing black.
Justice is blind
"It feeds on fear just as it feeds on flesh. But against a being without fear, it crumbles easily." Xavier stood over the seemingly unconscious. "Just as it crumbled against the Crimson King, the Gunslinger and now me."
I trust you
The Spider Knight's eyes shot open.
"Now, die and crawl back to Pit of Hate!" Xavier shouted, bringing his claws down.
C'mon daredevil
STAB!
Xavier's eyes widened as he looked down, seeing an energy blade being stabbed into his chest.
C'mon
The Spider Knight screeched as it brought its hand to Xavier's head and slammed him into the roof of the car.
C'mon
SLAM!
C'mon
SLAM!
C'mon
SLAM!
See the man, without fear
Xavier screamed out in agony, his head bleeding with black blood as the Spider-Knight stood up and let out a howling screen.
See the man, without fear
It looked down at him and held out his hand…
C'mon
Xavier looked up to see energy gathering in his hand.
C'mon
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!" He laughed.
C'mon
"You think you've beaten me, but I know something you don't." Xavier taunted, a bloody grin appearing on his face.
The Spider-Knight didn't care.
C'mon
BOOM!
Xavier's left leg was the first to be blasted off.
C'mon
"It doesn't matter if you kill my body here and now."
C'mon
BLAST!
Next was his right leg.
C'mon
"For in the entire time I was here, I was spreading the Dark Substance that is now my blood through the entire train."
C'mon
BLAST!
His left arm.
C'mon
"I'VE MERGED MYSELF WITH THE GREAT INFINITY TRAIN!" Xavier howled as the Spider-Knight blasted off his right arm.
BLAST!
C'mon
"AND WITH MY ESSENCE INFECTING THE TRAIN, I WILL HELP MY LADY FALLEN FIND THE GEM OF CREATION!"
BLAST!
Xavier continued to laugh, even after his chest had been blasted, leaving a gaping hole where his heart was.
C'mon
"WHEN SHE GAINS ALL TWELVE OF THE SPIRAL GEMS NOT EVEN YOU OR SAMMAEL STOP HER! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!"
C'mon
BLAST!
Xavier's taunting laugh came to an end as the Spider-Knight blasted his head, silencing him forever.

But the blood from his body began to spread out, infecting the car they had seen standing on and spreading outwards.
