Chapter 26 - Chapter 26: Parafest part 6

[ELSEWHERE]

Walker: What... What just happen!?

Narration: The faster than most while in his early twenties, a speed with teleporting effects that's even unnoticable by Brandon's eyes, He has fired a M1911 pistol at point blank from Brandon's side directly into his skull.

Xavier: What... The...!?

Brandon's body collapses to the ground as The man with the gun is none other than Ghost with a Desert Eagle Mark XIX.

Xavier: W-Why did you do that?

Ghost: doesn't answer Xavier and instead aims and fires a bullet to his direction but Xavier quickly evaded the bullet and moves up to Ghost to get stabbed by a crooked dagger in the gut.

Xavier: Tch...

Walker: Xavier!? What's... happening? I can't see....

Xavier: You... grrr... (Through sheer will left in him, Xavier grabs Ghost's arm and pulls him in for him to choke him with both hands.)

Ghost: Rest. In. Peace... (Ghost has the desert eagle at gut range facing up at Xavier's jaw. He pulls the trigger firing the bullet that goes through Xavier's bottom jaw and out the top of skull.)

Xavier's hands let go of Ghost's neck as he falls back onto the ground with blood flowing out the holes made by the bullet.

Ghost: Hm... Any last words... (He turns his sight to the blind hero Ethan Walker with his magnum aimed at his direction.) Dark Smoke?

Walker: W-Why are you doing this?

Ghost: To spread.

*Click...*

*Bang*

Using his hearing Walker figures out where Ghost is standing and while blinded he still is able to react faster than any ordinary human let alone a mutant or ehnanced Human, Once the Desert eagle's trigger has been pulled, Walker throws himself to the side while firing a blinded blast of energy intended to hit Ghost but misses him by 5 meters.

Ghost: Ooh... Close shot...

Walker: You know... Since I am still Barnes Morgan... That makes Xavier... my son... that you just killed in vein... (He places both palms on the ground.)

Ghost: As if that matters. Even for someone like you. Weren't you the one that tormented your own Grand grandson before executing him? Or or fight against your son for the destruction of worlds? You should be the least put of everyone in existence to be talking. You deserve death.

Walker: So do you... Parasite... (He's palm emit a glow as he chants) Burst!!

After chanting the word burst A spider webbed pattern of energy appears on the ground he has both palms on, the patterns immediately light up before vanishing as the ground breaks into patterned pieces.

Ghost: !!?

Everyone on the rooftop fall into an empty hallway, Ghost in the air mid while falling had done a hand sign exactly the same as the hand sign needed to activate the deprimestate.

"Deprimestate..."

Once the beginning words of the technique have been said Ghost's true nature and energy rises.

"Binding light of liberation."

Upon landing on the surface floor from the ceiling, Walker immediately senses curse energy radiating and extends his right hand charged with energy forward generating a long yellow energy sword to stab Ghost.

"You missed..." Ghost says as he stabs Walker from behind with the same crooked dagger he impaled Xavier with.

"Aaargh!! Grrrr..."

Walker feels a sudden change... a effect that comes from the crooked dagger, He'd feel a urge of releasing vast amounts of energy with one yell, and while also feeling a burning sensation traveling around in his body as he charges up more energy in his body.

Walker: What... the hell is that...

Ghost: Dagger of corruption, made by a company in Texas.

Walker: Wesley?

Ghost: Ooh You know them?

Walker: Hm... Lets just say I'm the inspiration for their creativity... (He shrugs his shoulders back emitting a burst of light that pushes Ghost back with the dagger taken out his back.) I'm gonna make you pay for killing my son Ghost...

Ghost: Ha! Good luck with that... You can't even see me!

Walker: True... But I'm still fast enough to react to Even the slightest of movements you going to make. (He grins as he speaks in a more deeper and raspy tone) Isn't that right?

Ghost: Tch...!?

Walker bends his knees I a half-crouched position, extends his right arm with the palm open, with the left palm clenched and placed by his side he then chants...

"Infernal Asura, Awaken..."

With that said, Walker undergoes a dramatic transformation. Both his arms change appearance to Both being dark in color with bright yellowish cracks of energy on each arm, he closes his eyes with a deep breathe in of concentration as he triggers a constant synesthesia, a neurological phenomenon made by the stimulation of sensory pathway leading to involuntary experiences in a second sensory or cognitive pathway. In other words Walker Is able to still see his surrounding by perceiving the soundwaves of anything around him.

Walker exhales air before turning his head to the direction Ghost stood in surprise before attempting to fire his desert eagle at him but is interrupted by a sudden fast movement that Walker makes that Ghost could not even perceive. Walker thrusts his right fist into Ghost's gut, the impact of his strike generates fiery sparks that amplifies the power behind his strike by 5.

Struck by such an attack Fatigue washes over Ghost as he looks at Walker surprised that's palpable. He hadn't anticipated the sudden attack. "What was going on? Isn't he blind!?"

Walker grins widely in a more maniac manner as He launches two more fiery strikes that Ghost blocks off with his forearms but still suffers a severe damage with burns. Walker Chuckles as continues his assault not giving Ghost a second to even think. He'd have ghost cornered against a wall where Ezra began unleashing a barrage of punches into Ghost's torso each punch generating its own fiery spark and being more stronger than the last.

"Aaargh.... why is this happening?! This shouldn't be happening!!" Ghost thinks to himself as he feels his own life endanger, he starts seeing figures not meant to be there thought to be spirits by how faint they appear to him. After his barrage, Walker's body and mostly his fists are covered in Ghost's blood as he raises and stomps on Ghost's torso pushing him back further into breaking through the wall.

Walker: You really thought... that you could just hurt my boy and get away with it just because I'm Blind?

*SNAP*

"DEPRIMESTATE... SUMMON..... BLARGH!!"

After hearing the finger snaps that Ghost makes with his hand sign, Walker figures out that he is planning on using the deprimestate and so takes his fist into Ghost's gut section stopping him from utilizing the technique.

Walker: That's not how things work. You hurt my children you pay...

Ghost: Tch...

Walker: To be honest with you... I'm gonna enjoy every second of this... For what you've done.

Ghost: Tch...

Narration: Nothing... Nothing but fear, washes over Ghost. As Walker finally shows his inner self once feared by all, the cause of the rebirth of the revenant known as Diablo.

Walker raises both clenched together fists above his head ready to begin his torment on ghost but I'd stopped by a yell behind him saying "Stop!"

Walker: Hm? Brandon?

Brandon: Yeah it's me. Let Ghost live.

Walker: Bastard killed Xavier...

Brandon: We need him alive.

Walker: No... We need Octane alive... he serves no use to us.

Brandon: He's the parasite!! If you end him here Jack's plan shall never occur.

Walker: Tch... (He clenches his teeth as he thinks on what to do.)

Ghost: You know... It surprises me that you'd care about anyone but yourself Walker... I guess you have gotten weak.

Walker: What can I say... (He grabs both Ghost's arms by force and rips them out of the joints that the elbows are located.)

Ghost: AAAAH!!

Walker: It's my character development.

[In the eternity hub]

"Arise..." The person in the fog commands both Hāns and Morro to stand in which they both do. David stares seemingly paralyzed from how immense Darkness' power level is compared to his.

David thoughts: "His presence... its more frightening up close then before this... must be the real deal... THE true form of the Celestial of Darkness."

David feels as if sharp knives are stabbing his torso as he sees and feels Darkness' purple glowing eyes stay into his soul.

Nathan broken out of his frozen state appears in the air with his left arm coated in blue energy materialized into a energy Blade.

"HEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAH!!!" Nathan comes down swinging the energy Blade down on Darkness.

*BOOM*

The fog clears when Darkness uses his right forearm to block the energy blade which reveals Darkness' body. He has a peached skin tone, black spiky hair, has a blue tattered cape wrapped around his neck, he is shirtless showing his lean and muscular physique, he wears black baggy pants with his tattered and ruined blue shirt tied around his waist and black shoes.

Darkness: Well, well look at you, Nate. Finally step up in the world huh?

Nathan lunges back from Darkness with a look if rage as he readies up to attack once more but is stopped off guard by Hāns conjuring a large hand of sand to grab hold of Nathan and slam him down onto the ground pinning him still.

Nathan: Tss... NOO!! (He tries to wiggle his way out but is unsuccessful.) I'll kill you, you bastard!

Darkness: Oof. So much hate... You would have done well as my vessel if you were never claimed by another.

Nathan: (Grunts) If I wasn't, I still wouldn't be your vessel, Darkness.

Darkness: "Darkness..." (he chuckles)

Nathan: What the hell are you laughing at?

Darkness: I'm laughing at the fact that We've known each other for quite a while YET you still don't know my name. Tsk tsk tsk tsk...

Nathan: What? (He looks at Darkness in rage and confusion)

Darkness: My name, child. It's Nyx. Not Darkness.
