Chapter 28 - Chapter 28: Parafest part 7

[Back in the eternity hub]

Nyx: My name, child. It's Nyx. You can continue calling darkness or the barin-lorn or whatever keeps you up at night. [He looks at Nathan with a smirk before instantly blocking a punch from the right side with his palm. He smirks as he looks at the speedster known as Jack.]

Nyx: Well if it isn't the "King of motions" himself, LOVE the new suit by the way, really helps hide the stains of blood you'll be getting in a second.

Jack: To hell with you!!

Morro generates a gust of wind that blasts Jack aside away from Nyx, this makes Nyx grunt in disapproval as he crosses his arms and has a blank stare before grinning.

Nyx: As boring as this will be for me... I don't have the time to waste... [Nyx's eyes linger between Hāns and Morro before their released from his control.]

Morro: Tch?! My... My head... [He puts a palm on his forehead ad he feels a strong headache.]

Nyx: Hm. [He makes a swinging gesture; pushing everyone in the area away from him with a gust of wind. He then turns his sight to the beaming light of the realms and senses a relic of greater power; the shard of the nexus infused into the light.] Impossible... [He extends his right arm uses a telekinetic hold on the shard to pull it out and be held in his palm) Man, you mortals sure know how to cause trouble... [He clenches onto the shard and beginnings absorbing it's energy into his body.]

*SLASH*

Nyx: [With a dumbfounded expression; Nyx looks down and sees his whole body covered in small slash wounds. He smirks and looks forward to see Raziel Yakane standing with his weapon sheathed and in hand.] Raziel Yakane... Why fight?

Raziel:

Nyx: Then why fight?

Raziel: To avenge my brother and...

[Raziel Recalling memory]

In the spirit realm Satoshi and Raziel both were in their early teenage years

Satoshi: (A portal opens and He carries a full brown bag of stuff he needs.)

Raziel [thoughts]: Even now... I still remember the words you told me...

Satoshi: Just you wait Raziel. This place even the next realm I'm going to, It'll all have peace. All the chaos and brutality will finally end... I know you wouldn't understand me... but... why I'm leaving is because I'm drawn. This. Is my destiny. My decision. My purpose to help keep EVERYTHING peaceful as it all should be no matter how long it will be...

[Memory end]

Raziel [thoughts]: ...I shall continue your goal brother...

Raziel: [Looks at Nyx] ...to continue his journey of bringing peace.

Nyx: Peace huh...? And just how are you going to do it? Your brother tried and slowly turned into the chaos. In the end, look where he is now. Oh, wait... You can't because he got sucked into a wormhole.

Raziel: Differently then how YOU celestials tried to bring peace.

Nyx: [Chuckles] That's VERY UNUSUAL... Through one of brainwashed puppets' eyes during the tournament; I saw the bloodlust in your eyes, the EXCITEMENT of killing your oppositions. You a literal demon! WHY throw away everything that you are for something you never once seen or ?!?

Nyx: I understand the vengeance part but the second part... I've heard that line WAY too many times, it bores me. When will you idiots learn. (He fully absorbs the entire Shard into his body causing his body to change appearance from what he has been to now a dark lean shadowy figure with white circular eyes.)

Raziel: Tsk...

"Heeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!" Nyx roars as he unleashes waves, sparks, bursts of air around him.

Nyx: The want for peace isn't a need to use as an excuse to force upon others you deem evil. Its a choice, a choice you peacebringers will always lack to understand, that's why there's always conflict.

"Dimension ray..." Using his technique of cutting through reality, Raziel Makes a faint horizontal streak of purple light with two of his right fingers the light then solidifies into sharp glass like shards that Raziel commands by swinging his right arm back, firing a turrent of shards to Nyx's direction.

Narration: The shards conjured by Raziel's technique are able to travel beyond light and the reality just to insure inflicted damages to the target making this attack one of Raziel's most guarantees... however...

Nyx instantly appeares infront of Raziel evading the dimension ray as his left fist pierces through Raziel's gut.

Raziel: Mmblargh!! (Raziel coughs out a puddle of blood as he stares in shock at Nyx who stares back into Raziel's eyes with no facial expression just all seriousness. Raziel uses both his hands to tightly grab onto Nyx's arm keeping his fist deeper in his gut.

Hān impales Nyx through his chest from behind with his broad sword.

Nyx: Hm. Is this how you show grace after I saved you and gifted you the power of time Hān?

Hān: Screw your gift.... (Hān Creates 4 long tentacles that all emerge out from the ground 5 meters around them.)

The tentacles swing down to crush Nyx and Raziel but Nyx created 4 large shadowy arms to counteract and restrain the sand tentacles from moving. Nyx makes his tangible shadowy body now intangible, Raziel quickly notices this as he nolonger feels Nyx's fist in his gut and his hands going through the shadowy arm.

Raziel: !?

Hān's broad sword had nolonger impaled Nyx and instead just went through his body, Nyx turns his body swinging his right tangible fist that lands punching Hān away.

Nyx chuckles as his body becomes tangible once more, He'd then get punched across the face by what seems to a trail of blue lightning from the side that moves pass him before coming back to punch him once more. The trail of blue lightning was none other than Jack Drake moving beyond the speed of light.

Nyx: Hm... such a pest.

Nyx body adepts thanks to the empowerment of the shard, he conjures a spear of darkness and thrusts it forth impaling the moving speedster in the shoulder, Nyx chuckles as the implementation was intended aimed for Jack's neck but he had evaded it and resulted in the shoulder impalement.

Nyx smiled at Jack before a jab from Nathan makes him stumble back causing the spear to vanish.

As Nyx stumbles back He quickly raises his open palm to his side facing directly at Nathan Ceasing control over the shadow in Nathan's clothes.

Nyx: BIND... (With his palm facing Nathan, He turns the shadow into a tangible state that covers and keeps Nathan's body beneath the clothes immobilizated in place.)

Nathan (thoughts): Shit... I can't move.

Jack dashes forth for an attack but from a gesture of Nyx's hand, materialized shards of darkness are formed and projected forward as a barrage that pierces into Jack's body shocking both Him and Raziel as the attack performed is a replica of the dimension ray.

David watches furious that each and every person is falling one by one to Nyx. He teleports undetected to Nyx and successfully lands a stretched uppercut that is coated in dark blue colored energy inflicting more damage then his regular punches to Nyx's jaw.

@Nyx Is 7ft/213cm which is the same height as Hān

Nyx grunts as Hān Creates a large arm of sand behind Nyx. Nyx gets caught in the palm of the sand, spikes form inside the fist that Nyx is in but Nyx bursts out the sand and screams outwards in the air.

Hān, David & Raziel: !!?

"Deprimestate Elemental control; eternal Blaze."

Morro summons down a pillar of white fiery high density energy thats in the form of flames that engulfs Nyx.

Hān, Raziel, Nathan and David stand together and look at the direction Nyx is being engulfed by a large white fiery light. Jack and Raziel both used their unique regeneration abilities to heal their own bodies, Morro walks up to them.

Nathan: Morro...

Morro: Hm. Im only doing this for payback.

Nathan: I know... that's how you are.

Jack: Guys!

They'd all look at the direction Jack is at.

Jack: The only way to beat him... is to fight together. He may be a Celestial of Darkness but that doesn't mean shit! Let's show him what mortals can do.

Raziel: Hm... "A Celestial that can adapt and copy our attacks" you mean. He will be able to face every single one of us at the same time.

Nathan: Right. Unless We kill him before he gets the chance.

Morro: Ooo... I LOVE it when you heroes turn all cold. (He grins.)

[Universe 811]

In a world that seems to be earth just set in an apocalyptic style, Braddock awakens laying down on grass.

GASP

Braddock: (He gets up and looks around his surroundings seeing that it's a stormy clouds in the sky.) Where... am I?

Marcus: In time. Where you belong....

Braddock: (He turns around and sprints 15m, towards Marcus, with intentions to hurt him) You bastard!!

Marcus emits a red aura of lightning from his body before making a dash that makes him appear in a blurred way with a patterned trail of red lightning as he delivers a fast punch across Braddock's side face.

Braddock: Tch.... (he grunts with his teeth clenched as he feels dazed after the punch, he falls onto one knee.) Why.... WHY ME!? Why pick me to suffer!!?

Marcus: (He now appears in full infront of Braddock with his arms crossed, and eyes glowing red.) Because you became the one thing that helped keep everything in motion in the end.

Braddock: Which was?

Marcus: (He delivers a fast knee strike into Braddock's gut pushing him 10 meters back) The paradox of commands.

Braddock: (He pants before getting up with his hand on his stomach) The hell... are you talking about!?

Marcus: urgh... You were involved in the battle against chaos that took place before the existence of ALL this.

Braddock: tch. How'd you...

Marcus: The book of Zire has given me its knowledge of everything it knows, past, present and future.... I am now much more than just a speedster. I am now... much, much more. I am the Watcher now.

Braddock: Hm. First Carter becoming the Red death, than Barry becomes the breacher, now the absolute WORSE speedster of the ages?!?

Marcus: Shocking isn't it. Well you know the old saying, If you've returned after deaths then there's no doubt, you have a role to play that'll lead to your ultimate demise. Hell! You friends, JB, Seto and your dearest Son Daniel all met their ends after fulfilling their roles. So unless you dont want to suffer for all eternity, try not to be a pain and stop running from your destiny.

Braddock: No. Whoever or whatever decided whatever role they want me to play can GO TO HELL!! Only I, And I alone choose when and how my story ends! Not them!

Marcus: Ha! And they called me Stubborn. Weeeeeell, If that's what you want, so rebellious, then I'm allowed to do this... (He dashes forward for a kill at a speed beyond light and upon reach Braddock evades the attempt with one side step.)

Marcus: Huuh?!

Braddock: .... (He stares at Marcus fiercely.)

Marcus stare at him dumbfounded he managed to dodge his strike before trying once more to hit Braddock but gets evaded once more.

Marcus: (He grunts) Hey! Do me a... quick bloody favour and stay the fuck still will ya? (He vibrates his left hand at high speeds)

Braddock: Go screw yourself Tombs.

Marcus grins before he makes an attempt to decapite braddock with his vibrating left hand but the attack is evaded quickly, afterwards Braddock lands a straight punch to Marcus' chest sending him flying 10 meters back surprising Marcus once more.

Marcus: Oh come on!! (He furiously gets up.) Since when the hell did you get super speed?

Braddock: (Hearing Marcus, He also questions himself.) I... I don't know. Wait, shouldn't you be the one to know? Since you now the claim to be know it all?

Marcus chuckles before his eyes emit a much brighter glow with his body generating its reddish electric aura as he is In a ready man stance. He runs forward thos time catching Braddock off gaurd, He thrusts a right punch but Braddock gets saved by an instant portal opened beneath him.

Marcus: Huh?! The hell? (He looks down at the leady closing portal before grunting furiously.)

[Eternity Hub]

A grey pillar of dark energy appears infront of them where Nyx was engulfed by Morro's attack.

Morro: Alright Bois. lets do this.

"Void release...."

Just when Nyx is about to chant, David teleports to him and lands a left stretched uppercut coated in dark blue colored energy amplifying its hit by 2 afterwards David attempted to place his right palm on Nyx's chest but Nyx shapeshifts his body bringing out spikes from his body that impale David's hand and body.

"SHIT!" David says in thought as Nyx raises his palm to his face. Jack runs in saving David by taking him away from Nyx.

Nyx grunts before Morro fires a surge of electricity from his hands, electrocuting Nyx and giving Raziel time to launch his attack "the sanctional cut." Raziel dashes forth at godly speeds appearing infront of Nyx as he delivers an upward singular vertical slash with the Rakshasa claw. Once Raziel delivers his slash, the close space around Nyx gets distorted because of the space cutting property of Raziel's katana, blue glowing Slashes immediately form inside the distortion slicing Nyx's entire body. After the attack was utilized, Nyx quickly thrusts his right fist to Raziel who quickly places his forearms into a cross shape blocking the punch but feels a vibration shake his body as he is pushed sliding back 15 meters.

Nyx: "The emo and the blade have space cutting abilities... such a nuisance like his brother." (Nyx says in thought as he chants)

"Void release: Malevolent fierce splitter"

Nyx swings his right arm after the chant using the darkness of the area to project slashes that slices up the bodies of his targets.

The slashes have successfully cut directly into the bodies of the heroes'. Morro and Nathan both collapse to the ground after the slashes.

Narration: Despite Nathan and David being blood related David is a revenant with better usage and connection to the source of his power.

Hān's body turns into sand that reattachs its cut off parts back in their places before turning his body back unto his organic flesh form. Raziel's body heals in an instant thanks to his half demonic nature. Jack Drake accelerated healing capabilities prevents his body from falling apart with no side effect thanks to his physiology being undead, the limitations of his speed usage is unlimited.

Raziel (thoughts): "Damnit... he's adapting and making his own moves based on ours! This isn't good at all." Sighs "Looks like Hān, Jack, David and I still stand... my regeneration getting slower now... 00.01 seconds but still enough to keep me from dying on the spot.. I shouldn't waste time now..."

Nyx: (He laughs as he sees Raziel getting serious) Finally gonna go all out huh? It won't do you any good, I'm the literal king of eternals. THE Celestial of Night and dark, you can't win!

Jack (thoughts): Damn He's right... Not one of our attacks have any permanent damage to him... (Something off about Nyx catches his eyes) tch!

Jack: (He looks at Raziel and Hān) Hey sand and ghost guys, yall are gonna be with me, we'll move at once, use everything you have! David...

David: Yeah?

Jack: You the son of Ezra Darhk... that means the power of hope runs through your veins!

David: Tch...

Jack: Use it... be the next embodiment of hope... bring peace. Don't dissapoint him.

David nods and Nyx makes a wide grin as he channels his inner power, he then becomes a 200 meter tall gigantic, humanoid avatar made of the darkness. Nyx speaks with two tones of voices one raspy high and the other being deep.

"I... AM... DARKNESS."

All there is heard is the light beaming for seconds, they all are quiet until Jack gives them the command "Go."

David starts to sit on the ground and meditate for more energy as he does so Jack, Hān and Raziel act once, Jack's body generates an aura of black electricity with red outlines as he channels enough energy before running at godly speed to the right side, Raziel creates a red energy glowing doppelganger of himself with his demonic power, he gives the doppelganger the Rakshasa claw before they both run together on the left side and Hān makes a chant.

"Turn and erode: Arise Golem."

Hān's broad sword Turns into a sand construct that breaks Into dust. Hān then uses his spiritual energy to form a gigantic, golem avatar made of from the surface beneath his feet turning that surface into sand, that he has control over from the inside located in the head of the golem. The golem stands roughly the same height as Nyx.

Both Giants run towards each other and clash forearms before Nyx creates spikes from his torso that stretch forward stabbing into the sand doing no damage to Hān as he swings a left hook and grabs Nyx by the Throat and armpit lifting him slightly off the the ground and runs Into the large bright beam of light that is the source of the hub of realities. Hān attempts to push Nyx into the light but Nyx plants his feet into the ground stopping himself just inches from touching the beam but Is close enough to start dispersing. Jack runs around the platform gathering high amounts of energy to harness and fire surges of electricities directly at Nyx's upper legs causing his bottom legs to be cut off and disperse giving Hān the chance to fully push Nyx forcefully into the light. Nyx screams outwards as his back is being burnt and dispersing by the wall of the light.

Hān: Yeah... BURN YOU SON OF A BITCH!

Nyx places his palm on the face of the golem and uses the darkness of his palm to project multiple point blank slashes that not only slice through the head but also cuts Hān's body severing the control of the golem causing it to collapse into a pile of sand, Nyx reverts back to his normal height on the ground panting.

Narration: Nyx has made a precondition pact with himself that allows him to utilize the void release: Malevolent fierce splitter by only placing his palm on the target to unleash the slashes, in return for its use, his power/control over his adversaries shadows has been cut off permanently.

Both Raziel and his doppelganger appear by Nyx's sides and in sync they both launch their attacks. With the Rakshasa claw The doppelganger slashes the air infront of Nyx utilizing the Sanctional cut attack, on the other side Raziel makes a faint horizontal streak of purple light with two of his right fingers the light then solidifies into sharp glass like shards that Raziel commands by swinging his right arm back, firing a turrent of shards point blank into Nyx.

Both attacks are successful as Nyx's body is covered in slashes and shards, the shard of the nexus is revealed to them located just a split moment on Nyx's chest.

Raziel: The... The shard!

Jack dashes in on them digging his right hand into Nyx's chest.

Narration: Jack had two plans one kept to himself and other said out loud.

Nyx stares down at Jack trying to tear the shard out of his chest. Nyx furiously thrusts his palm into Jack's chest launching the slashes of the Malevolent fierce splitter all over Jack's body before leaping back getting Jack's hand out of his chest.

Jack: Tsk... My body...

David opens his now red irised eyes as an energy aura that glows divine in silver grey and blue colors like a flowing water around his body, his hair is now grown and white.

"Dhamma revolting strike!!"

Nyx: Tch!!?

David thrusts a right fist imbued with the divinity of his power into Nyx's chest in an instant. He then pushes his fist deeper into the celestial's chest, he sends his energy into Nyx's body over charging the body with divine energy before David pulls the shard of nexus out of his chest. Causing Nyx's shadowy form to revert back to hid normal state being weakened by the purifying effects of David's strike.

Nyx: Noo!! (He screams before punched across the face by David with both his arms coated in the aura.)

David: This... is for all you've done!!

David quickly delivers two swung fists across Nyx's face makes a following swung up kick that pushes Nyx back. David continues his attack weakening Nyx with every punch and kick, he ends his attack by kicking him upwards, raises and crosses his arms, charging up more energy that he sends tnto the Nyx's body causing his eyes and mouth to emit a bright blue flash of energy before Nyx's body detonates from within, releasing a brilliant blue burst and creating a titanic explosion that ravages the landscape.

Hān: (He pulls himself out of the pile of sand with his attire damaged, he looks forward at the explosion, dumbfounded.) Incredible.

Morro: Well... so this is the awakening that the darhk family possess...

David looks down at the shard in hand glowing in a green color, he looks to his side and tosses the shard to Raziel.

Raziel: Tch... (he catches the shard.)

David: Get that thing out of here...

A beam of dark energy beams into the sky from where Nyx is, Nyx screams into the sky as his energy levels skyrocket, this sudden power wakes Nathan up as he sits up and looks at where the battle has taken place.

Nyx: (He chuckles as the beam vanishes.) Your name is David Darhk right?

Nathan, Morro, David and Jack all stare in disbelief as they'd all see Nyx smile fascinated by David as they all feel the true essence of evil and power about to be released.
