Minos Drazal
The story began on a planet, inhabited by Neonytes.
It appears that the only similarity that the planet has to Earth it's that it's currently raining. But besides that, the planet was completely different from Earth demonstrated by the high-tech city which was filled with Neonytian residents who were mostly minding their own business.
In the air, there was a black ship that was flying in the air, going towards a direction. Inside was a Neonyte wearing a driver uniform and was at the cockpit, driving the ship while in the back of the ship there was another Neonyte who appeared to be atleast thirty years old who looked actually similar to Ares except had black shoulder length hair with a goatee and was wearing a black Neonytian general uniform with medals on it along with a cape and was holding a glass of wine and looking out the window, watching the drops of water falling from the sky hitting the ship's window. The structure of the room he was in looked more like a limousine than a average ship room.
The Neonyte was sitting on his chair and was patiently waiting to arrive at his destination. The sound of the intercom being turned on was heard.
"General Minos, we have arrived."The driver's voice was heard.
"...About time." The Neonyte, Minos, said, putting the glass of wine aside.
The ship parked in front of a large military building as Minos walked out of the ship and went inside the building, he wasn't concerned about getting wet by the rain at all. When inside, he went towards a elevator and clicked a button. The elevator did not seem to open at all.
The Neonyte clicked the button again and once again, no results. The elevator appeared to be defected.
"Figures." Minos said.
Minos then decided to climb the stairs to accomplish what he came here for:to check on his little brother's work. His little brother happened to be Ares.
Both Minos and Ares are a part of the Drazal family. According to the stories told by their father, the Drazal family is the most prideful and efficient family out of the other families thanks to their blood types and are meant to serve greater families in order to get more power. And the family they are supposed to serve happen to be the Cromwell Family. Their father made an alliance with them and in exchange, they get a powerful reputation and free useful positions in the Neonytian Military. When he was born, Minos was basically forced by his parents to participate in activities that he din't find interesting and mostly irritating such as part-time jobs when he was 12 and sports like basketball, baseball, soccer, cross country etc. After all, the first born child had to be the best of the best and his fate was already decided when his dad enrolled him and his brother in the military. Ares, being the younger brother, din't have to do what Minos did, he got spoiled instead and ever since then, he wanted more while his bigger brother always had to do the hard work. He and his brother never really seemed to like each other that much.
Minos did not really like his job at all but at the same time, he had no choice since refusing to do work can be a death sentence and he din't want to go out like a fool. His blood color is Olive, the power to control a person's mind and manipulate their actions. Though, he can't control an entire population because that would require using most of his energy.
While he was thinking of all this, Minos arrived at the top floor and was walking down the hallway till he reached Ares's office and opened it instead of knocking.
Ares was currently putting some papers in his suitcase, not noticing Minos in the room. His office had a portrait of himself, a trophy case and a safe with a keypad on it.
Ares put's in a recording device in the suitcase before he closed it and turned his head to Minos.
"Oh, hey, Minos." Ares said, not really sounding excited to see his brother.
"Hello...I came here to hear your report on your activities." Minos said.
"That's it? Din't came here to greet your own little brother?" Ares smirked.
"Just tell me already so then I can get out of here. You're wasting my own precious time." Minos said.
"Fine, fine, I've been assigned by the King to go to Universe 2." Ares said.
"Universe 2? Why that Universe?" Minos asked.
"Well, we received some info about how armed conflicts vanished from Universe 2 completely for some strange reason so I've been sent to investigate and possibly aquire some energy crystals as alternatives for our ship's fuel supply instead of relying on our old engines. Who knows, I might get a bonus." Ares said, picking up his suitcase.
"...Why can't the colleagues from your division do this?" Minos asked.
"Drake is busy with the Nixlukekitz's kid, Kimber is off to visit her family because one of her relatives died, Antaxerxes is having family trouble, Dragomir, Mars and the others are having their own missions so that just leaves me to do the hard work. Now, if you excuse me, my own ship is waiting for me." Ares said, walking past Minos.
Minos grabbed Ares's hand.
"...You aren't the type to do leg work. It's clear you are going to that Universe for another reason. What is it?" Minos asked.
Ares turned to Minos, smiling at him.
"Even if I would tell you, you can't really do anything about it. Division X has no business interfering with other division member's missions, plus you're too busy to worry yourself with what I do. And you don't even care anyways." Ares said.
Minos simply stared at Ares but letting go off his hand.
"You're right. I don't care about what your business is in that Universe. But if you get yourself killed, your meaningless death will taint our family's image." Minos said.
"I won't die that easily. My ability will stop anyone from even touching me. I've got it covered. Well, Minos, it's been a pleasure seeing you again. You should visit me more often." Ares said before he left the office.
Minos simply watched Ares leaving before he went downstairs and walked out of the building, going back into his private ship and looking at his driver.
"We're leaving." Minos said.
"Alright, sir. I trust that you have finished your business here?" The driver asked.
"Yes. My brother is going to Universe 2 for some odd reason." Minos said.
"I see. Are you going to try to find out why he is going there, sir?" Driver asked.
"No. Ares can do whatever he wants." Minos said.
"...Are you sure?" Driver asked.
"Yes. If he truly wishes to be the best warrior of our race then he will have to do this on his own and take full responsibility for his actions." Minos said, before walking back to his room.
The driver simply nodded as he started the ship and began flying off the planet.
Minos sat down and looked at the window, seeing Ares's ship leaving aswell but was going to a different direction.
"If this comes back to bite him...that will be his fault." Minos said, as lightning shot out of the sky.
A few days later.
On a planet that entirely covered in ice known as Eden, The Drazal's, aswell as the Cromwell's home planet.
Minos was in his own office, looking at his computer screen, waiting for a new assignment it seemed. His family hadn't received any contact from Ares for quite awhile now. Either his communicator broke or he was dead. Minos hoped that the ladder will be the outcome here.
Someone then knocked at his door.
"Come in." Minos said.
A Neonytian that din't appear before entered in the room.
"...Um, hello...general Drazal." The Neonyte said.
"...Virgo. What brings you here?" Minos responded. He recognized the Neonyte, he is Ares's personal assistant.
Virgo cleared his throat. He din't look happy as he looked Minos in the eyes.
"Sir...your brother, Ares...we...decided to go to Universe 2 to find out about his disappearance and...we found the remains of his armor aswell as traces of purple blood...we believe he is dead sir." Virgo frowned.
Minos stared at Virgo, not showing any emotion whatsoever.
"...I see...what a tragedy this will be for our family." Minos said.
"...Since now he is dead...I'm out of a job now." Virgo sighed.
"...You're free to join Division X as my own personal assistant if you wish." Minos said.
Virgo looked at Minos, looking relieved to hear that.
"...That's...very nice of you, sir. I won't let you down." Virgo said.
Minos simply nodded.
"You may go now." Minos said.
Virgo nodded before he left.
Minos got up and walked up to the window, staring at his own reflection.
"...Hm, I called it. He let his arrogance get the best of him and he died. If I had to guess, he died facing against a Omnipotent. He did seem to get worried about them before he left. He fought he could handle them in his own way...What an imbecile. Nevertheless, my own family will have to arrange a huge funeral for him and I'll be forced to participate there and hold a fake speech about what a nice brother he was when in reality, he was just a bastard. Then after that, everything will go back to the way it was and it will be like he never existed. Which is how it should be." Minos said.
The sound of something being sent to his computer was heard.
Minos turned and sat down before looking at his computer to see what he received. It was a mail from Hyperion Cromwell, the current head of the family and the mail contained Minos's next assignment.
'Your next mission will be in Universe 11. There is a planet that looks inhabitable but it's ruled by a species known as the Myriadice. I also sent two files that will contain the information you'll need to know about them and their planet so then you can come up with a strategy to take them over.'
Minos clicked on the Myriadice's file and it showed him an image of a alien with purple skin, a bald egg-sized head with orange eyes and wearing a chiton it seemed. According to the file, they are not very powerful however each of them have the ability to teleport anywhere they want and even made weapons and bombs that can teleport.
He then clicked on Koephus and it was the name of their planet. The planet entirely is covered in stone and most of their cities and buildings were made out of stone, meaning that the planet isn't as technologically advanced as most planets but it's still inhabitable nonetheless.
Minos then closed the message and sighed, looking bothered that he would have to go all the way to Universe 11 and with the ships they have, it would take atleast 6 days to get there.
"...I'll need to contact Mercury and make me a device that will prevent them from using their teleportation and have the best ones from my division assist me on this long trip." Minos said.
Minos grabbed his transceiver and communicated someone.
"Adonis, get me Hypnos, Thor, Loki, Nemesis, Horae and Minerva, we are going to Universe 11 to inhabit the Koephus planet. And have Mercury make me a device that will render the Myriadice's abilities useless." Minos said.
"Roger that, sir." The voice said.
Minos then closed his transceiver and got up, preparing himself for his next mission.
In Universe 11.
A portal opened in space and a large ship emerged from it. The ship belonged to Division X. It appears they finally arrived in Universe 11.
In the command center, Minos was sitting on the captain chair while a Neonytian wearing a soldier uniform with a black bowl haircut who was piloting the ship and was going very fast towards Koephus.
"Sir, we have finally arrived in Universe 11 and we will arrive on Koephus immediately." The Neonyte said.
"Perfect. I trust that the device is ready when it starts?" Minos asked.
"Yes." The Neonyte nodded.
"Very well. Tell the others the good news, I imagine they are very bored by the long trip." Minos said.
The Neonyte pressed a button.
In another part of the ship, there were 5 other Neonytes there. A woman with long black hair wearing a black coat with a white buttoned up shirt and blue pants who din't look comfortable with what they were doing, another woman who had really long brown hair, wearing a black overcoat with a white tanktop and black pants, a third woman who had short orange hair, wearing a green zipped up jacket with a dark skirt, a Neonyte male with spiky yellow hair, wearing a short sleeved brown buttoned up shirt with black shorts and a older looking muscular Neonyte with long yellow hair wearing a red shirt with ripped sleeves and black pants.
The sound of the Neonyte's voice was heard
"Guys, we are finally in Universe 11 and we will arrive on Koephus soon. Prepare yourselves for battle." The Neonyte said.
"Ugh, at last, I thought we would never make it there." The orange haired Neonytian lady yawned.
"I wonder how strong these Myriadice are." The brown haired woman said.
"Meh, I'm not worried. With Thor on our side, this mission should be a piece of cake. Ain't that right, big guy?" The spiky haired Neonyte smiled, looking at the muscular Neonyte.
"Hmph. The only thing those eggheads can do is just teleport around. I'm sure you can atleast stab a few of those guys, Loki." Thor said.
"Well, fighting is not really my style. I just turn myself invisible and watch you guys do all the action." Loki grinned.
The long haired woman sighed.
"...Is there something wrong, Minerva?" The brown haired woman asked.
"...Do we really have to exterminate them? Every mission I've been on involved the extermination of other species. Can't we just discuss with these guys and see if we can live together with them?" Minerva asked.
"Pft, why should the superior race negotiate with the weaklings? That's not how we do things, you know." The orange haired lady said.
"Nemesis does have a point. Plus, our race is rapidly increasing with children who are born left and right and we are running out of planet's to stay on. The Lovians made their point clear with us, those planet jumping Kheogs ruin everything and the Morphers are out of the option. Plus, if their ruler is smart and do what other creatures did, they will surrender themselves to us or basically die." The brown haired woman said.
"...But still, we are talking about murdering people here." Minerva sighed.
"Humans kill each other every day, other creatures kill each other for their own territories. What they do is not that different from what we do." Loki said.
"...I guess." Minerva said.
"Cheer up, Min, we'll get this mission over with immediately. With our power, we won't be able to lose." Nemesis smiled.
"And also me. and Horae's time manipulation" Thor said.
"Yeah." The brown haired woman, Horae, said.
Minerva simply looked down, not continuing the conversation.
It cuts to Koephus, at a city made out of stone.
The Myriadice were seen, doing their own activities and each of them were wearing different colored chiton's. Some of them were collecting fruit from tree's, children were seen playing hide and seek and were constantly teleporting around and others were currently examining some ancient rocks that they found.
They stopped their activities when the planet suddenly started shaking.
The Myriadice turned their heads and gasped when they saw the large Neonyte ship in the sky, going towards their city.
"What is that?" A myriadice asked.
"It's those Neonytes, The guardians warned us about them." The second Myriadice said.
"We have to tell the king about this!" Another Myriadice said.
"Right." The Myriadice said before he teleported out of there.
He appeared in a large stone castle that was in the center of the city. He made his way to the throne room and opened the door.
"KING BOMIR!" The Myriadice shouted.
The King sat up. His purple skin was darker than the rest, meaning that he was very old and was wearing some royal clothing and there was a little Myriadice girl wearing a pink chiton who was next to him.
"Yes?" Bomir asked
"It's those Neonytes. They arrived just as the guardians prophesied. They will commence their attack on us in a few minutes!" The Myriadice said.
"...I see. The only options we have is either fight back and repel them...or we surrender and become their slaves. That will not happen. We will fight them if we must. Tell the residents to stay in their home's while the fighters get the opens and fight them off." Bomir said.
"Yes, your majesty!" The Myriadice said before he teleported out.
"G-Grandfather?" The little girl asked.
The king turned to his niece, patting her head.
"Don't worry, we will not lose this fight. Stay in here with me." Bomir said.
The little girl looked nervous but nodded.
Back outside, most of the Myriadice teleported back to their home's while the soldiers went into a building and picked up weapons that were made out of stone.
They ran out of the building and started shooting lasers and rockets at the Neonyte ship.
A forcefield appeared around the ship and most of the rockers and lasers hit the forcefield. Their attacks did not seem to pierce through the forcefield at all.
"Shit, they turned on their forcefield!" A Myriadice said.
"Luckily, we have a way to get past that." Another Myriadice said.
The Neonyte ship started firing at the Myriadice army and they teleported out of the way of the blasts.
They teleported back and started shooting rockets at the ship again.
However, instead of hitting the forcefield, the rockets teleported and appeared inside the forcefield and the Neonyte ship got hit.
Loki fell on the floor as a result while the entire ship was shaking.
"Did we get hit!?" Nemesis asked.
"Yup." Thor said, not looking worried.
In the command center, Minos looked at the Neonyte with the bowl haircut
"Hypnos, I believe it would be a good time to put our little toy to good use. Launch it." Minos said.
"Yes, general." Hypnos nodded.
Hypnos, who had black blood, teleported out of the command center.
He appeared on top of the forcefield, holding a grey orb device in his hands.
Hypnos teleported out of the way of the rockets that were coming towards him before he reappeared and clicked a button on the device.
He launched the ball in the air before it stopped and remained there.
The orb was beeping red as a large transparent dome appeared around the Myriadice's city.
The Myriadice looked at the dome and looked confused.
"Are they trying to trap us in? We can easily teleport out!" The Myriadice said.
The Myriadice tried to teleport...and it din't work.
"...What the...I can't teleport!" The Myriadice soldier said.
"Me neither!" Another soldier said.
They looked at the orb.
"It's that orb in the sky. If we destroy it, then we'll get our powers back!" The Myriadice said.
The Myriadice started shooting rockets at the orb but the rockets got destroyed by the lasers shot from the Neonyte ship before they shot lasers at the Myriadice soldiers, knocking them on the ground.
"The device is working, sir!" Hypnos smiled.
"Good. I'll take Minerva with me to their leader. The rest of you deal with their men." Minos said.
Hypnos nodded before he teleported himself and Minos to where the others are.
"Alright, the device is working and their teleportation has been disabled. We have to take out the leader before we can claim this planet as our own. Thor, Loki, Horae, Nemesis and Hypnos, you 5 take on the army. Minerva, you go with me to the castle. Have I made myself clear?" Minos asked.
"Yes, sir!" Loki smiled.
"I'll crush them with my bare hands." Nemesis smiled.
Minerva looked sad but nodded.
The Myriadice continued shooting at the ship but their attacks were futile.
The 7 Neonytes appeared in the city, right in front of the army.
The Myriadice looked shocked but aimed their weapons at them.
"Stop right there, Neonytes! You may have of found a way to prevent us from using our teleportation, but you haven't won the battle just yet." The Myriadice said.
Minos looked at Thor.
"It appears they want a demonstration of our power." Minos said.
Thor smiled as he stepped forward and clenched his fist.
He opened it to reveal a small energy ball and when it threw it on the ground, a explosion occurred, sending some of the Myriadice flying off while the ones who were close to the ball died from the explosion.
The rest of the army charged at the Neonytes.
The Neonytes split up, taking on the entire army while Minos and Minerva ran through the army, going towards the castle.
Thor who's fists were glowing red punched the ground, sending more Myriadice flying.
Rockets were flying towards Horae who simply stood there as her eyes glew orange.
The rockets freeze'd in midair before they were in reverse towards the Myriadice and they got him, exploding them into many bloody pieces.
Nemesis held her hand in the air and summoned a tornado that sucked in some soldiers and launched them at Thor who punched hole's in their bodies.
Hypnos teleported behind one Myriadice and stabbed him in the neck before kicking him on the ground and started doing the same thing to the other Myriadice soldiers.
Loki was surrounded by the soldiers who aimed their weapons at him.
Loki appeared to have...vanished it seemed much to their confusion
Suddenly, a Myriadice's neck got snapped and landed on the ground, shocking the other Myriadice.
The soldiers then got shot in the back with lasers from Loki who was invisible the entire time and was shooting more lasers at the army.
Minos and Minerva arrived at the castle and were immediately intercepted by a large number of guards when they entered in the castle.
"That's far enough! Leave now or else!" A guard said.
Minos simply looked at them before his eyes glew olive.
The guard's eyes glew olive aswell before he suddenly stabbed himself in the chest with his own sword and fell on the floor.
The guard's looked shocked by what their colleague did before their eyes glow olive aswell and each of them started to kill each other while the others simply killed themselves by cutting their own heads off.
Eventually, all the guards were now dead and were laying on the floor
Minerva stood there, looking horrified by what just happened.
"...You...you know you could of simply have them remain there like statues instead of killing them, right?" Minerva asked.
"I could of. But I'm not the type to let loose ends around and come back to bite us. Now let's get this over with." Minos said, walking out of the bloody hallway.
Minerva simply continued looking at the corpses before she slowly followed behind.
Inside the throne room, Bomir watched the war that was happening outside while holding his niece and was trembling as the Neonytes were winning the fight.
"...My men...they are losing." Bomir said.
"...W-What about my parents?" The little girl asked.
The King did not respond to his niece. Either he din't know or he was afraid.
The door opened and Minos and Minerva walked in.
Bomir and his niece immediately turned around as Bomir aimed a gun made out of stone at them.
"S-Stay back!" Bomir said.
The King shot rock bullets at the two Neonytes.
They simply dodged the bullets and even if they got shot, it wouldn't of hurt them at all.
The Bomir grabbed his niece and tried to teleport out of there but it din't work.
"As long as that device is still up and running, your chances of teleporting out of here are zero. All you can is just accept your fate and either cooperate with us...or you can simply die, right here and right now." Minos said.
"How...how dare you." Bomir growled.
Minerva looked at the little girl who was looking at her with fear in her eyes and looked saddened.
"...General, can't we just leave them alone and go find some planet that doesn't contain any life forms?" Minerva asked.
"Every planet that we investigated are full of people who aren't us. And any planets that we found were either too dangerous or small to live on." Minos said.
"...But still, these guys could be useful to us. Their instant teleportation can help us with finding new planets or doing work for us. Why kill our new assets when instead we could just use them?" Minerva asked, using this excuse as a way to prevent the Myriadice from being killed off.
"...Hm, you make a fair point. Alright then." Minos said.
He looked at the King.
"However, as their king demonstrated, trusting these guys to do work for us would be highly difficult. So...we'll have to use the chips on them so I can use my power more easily on them." Minos said.
Minerva's eyes widened and so did the King and his niece.
"...Control us!? I...I won't let you!" Bomir said.
Bomir charged at Minos who simply kicked Bomir into the wall while his niece gasped.
Minerva looked shocked as Minos turned his head to her.
"Minerva, get rid of him." Minos said.
"...What!?" Minerva asked.
"Get rid of him. At this point, he is more of a liability and we needed to take out the one in charge anyways." Minos said.
"I...No, I won't kill a little girl's grandfather!" Minerva said.
"You are defying a superior's orders?" Minos asked.
"Yes! And you won't murder him either. I won't let you!" Minerva said
"...Fine then." Minos said, his eyes glowing olive.
Bomir was now controlled by Minos who simply picked up his gun made out of stone and-
BAM!
Bomir's body dropped on the ground, blood coming out of his head.
"GRANDFATHER!" His niece cried out, bursting into tears.
Minerva's knee's dropped on the floor, looking horrified as she looked at the king's corpse.
Minos looked calm as he looked at the niece who hugged her grandfather's corpse and continued crying before he turned to Minerva.
"...Our mission has been accomplished." Minos said.
Minerva then got up and turned to Minos, slapping him in the face, leaving a mark on his cheek. Tears were flowing out of glowing eyes.
"YOU BASTARD! WHY DID YOU HAVE TO DO THAT!? THIS MAN HAD A LITTLE GIRL WITH HIM! DO YOU REALLY CARE ABOUT ANYONE BESIDES YOURSELF!?" Minerva asked.
"...You act as if these creatures are your family. And he could of simply accepted our terms but instead, he acted like a fool and paid the price." Minos said.
"...You...you really a monster, Minos." Minerva said, with anger in her voice.
"If you don't like it, then you could just leave any time you want. No one's stopping you." Minos said
"...Gladly. I've been getting tired of this shit anyways. The only reason I worked with you guys is because my dad is working for the military. And now, I'm fucking done with these stupid missions and these killings, IT'S OVER!" Minerva said.
Minerva walked past Minos and before walking out, she turned her head to him.
"...And if you kill that girl too...I will kill you myself." Minerva said, before she left.
Minos turned his head back to the Niece who continued crying.
Hypnos walked into the room, looking confused.
"...What's wrong with Minerva?" Hypnos asked, not even noticing the dead King and his crying niece.
"She decided quit because she would rather defend some creatures that aren't even Neonytes. Her loss. Either way, the leader has been taken care of." Minos said.
"Me and the rest took out the army. This planet is now officially our's." Hypnos said.
"Alright. Though, we shouldn't kill them. They can actually be useful to us, but I will require those devices that will give me a more easier way to control the entire population." Minos said.
"Yes, sir." Hypnos nodded before he walked out.
Minos simply looked at the corpse and the little girl before he walked out.
He grabbed his transceiver, sending a transmission to the other generals.
"Attention to all. This is commander Minos Drazal. Planet Koephus from Universe 11 has been officially taken over and all the inhabitants will be mine controlled since their abilities could actually serve a purpose to us for military reasons. If there any Neonytians out there who need a new location to stay at, send them here if you can. Drazal, out." Minos said, ending the transmission before he could get a response
Outside, the other Neonytes were currently celebrating their victory over the Myriadice before Minos ordered them to get back in the ship.
Two Years Later
Two years have passed after Hastur's invasion in Universe 3. After receiving news of Hastur's coming from their meeting regarding the Nixlukekitz's girl, Minos remained in Universe 11 with his team and so far, no Neonytes bothered coming to this planet.
It cuts to the Myriadice city which now looked high-tech and most of the Myriadice were controlled by Minos thanks to some chips shoved on the back of their heads and most of them were currently building some statues while others were in some buildings, making new weapons.
Minos was in the king's castle, sitting on the throne, looking very bored actually. Ever since Hastur died, the military has been in quite a long pause thanks to the King's death and the next one to take his place would be his daughter but till that happens, the Neonytes are currently managing with the planets that they have so far till everything is back to normal again. Minos, however, found this incredibly annoying and a huge waste of time as he had nothing else to do till he received further commands from his superiors.
There was a picture next to him, of a little Neonytian girl with black hair. Before he died, Ares had an affair with another Neonyte woman who gave birth to his daughter called Freya. She usually visits him during work and keeps talking about her glorious dad who's been killed by the Omnipotents. Minos just let her live in her own illusion about her dad instead of telling her the truth.
Hypnos entered in the throne room.
"General Drazal?" Hypnos asked.
"What is it?" Minos asked.
"We still haven't received any other comments from the other Divisions. Everything has been pretty quiet ever since the whole chaos that occurred in Universe 3." Hypnos said.
"Why am I not surprised. Anything else?" Minos asked.
"Well, Loki and Nemesis had been checking out the weapons that the Myriadice made us for us and they're good so far. That's about it." Hypnos said.
"...I see." Minos said, looking disappointed.
Suddenly, a noise was heard from his transceiver.
Minos picked it up and pressed the button on hologram mode.
The transceiver shoot's out a hologram of a older looking Neonyte with long white hair, wearing a black suit with a red tie and black gloves who looked rather intimidating.
Minos, recognizing the man, got up and bowed to him.
"Lord Hyperion. Pleasure to hear from you again." Minos said.
"Good to see that things are still in order from your part, Drazal." Hyperion said.
"Have there been any updates on the current situation, my lord?" Minos asked.
"As of right now, no. However, this Hastur situation made it clear to us that the king and his men proved to be very incompetent. Because of this, we will soon make a new group made entirely out of the strongest Neonytes that will help defend us against the human and Omnipotent scum. I believe those creatures with teleportation powers will be useful for this group that I have in mind." Hyperion said.
"I see. No Neonytes arrived on this planet just yet. I'm guessing everyone is still in shock about what happened." Minos said.
"Till then, keep control of these creatures. They will have some roles to play once everything will resume back to the way it was." Hyperion said, before his hologram faded away.
Minos simply sighed as he leaned against the throne. At this point, he was basically stuck here to keep babysitting the Myriadice before anything else can happen. This clearly wasn't how he wanted to lead his life, he wanted to be a warrior. The only thing that can get him out of this situation is if the Neonytes will finally snap out of their grieving and get their heads back in the game or some worthy opponents will show up to defeat him.
Horae entered in the room.
"General, we have a problem." Horae said.
"What now?" Minos asked.
"There is a ship that's coming towards us. We checked and it's definitely not one of our ships." Horae said.
"...Put it on screen." Minos said.
Horae got out her transceiver and showed him the image of the ship. It was a white large ship with a symbol of Lady Justice on it.
"...Hm...could this be the infamous Society of Goodness from this Universe?" Minos asked.
"I would assume so." Horae said.
"...From what I gathered, this group has been assembled by a guardian and it's made out of two humans with powers, a cyborg, a Lovian, a Neonyte, a Omnipotent and their newest recruit is a Metalman. They took out several threats from this Universe and fought off the Kheogs...let's see if they are worth the praises. Hypnos, activate the forcefield and activates the turrets.
Hypnos nodded before he teleported out.
The Society of Goodness's ship arrived on the planet and the ship was flying towards the castle.
Inside, Gustavo was sitting on the captain chair while Nexus, June, Cerci, Vadon and Mibyll were looking out the window. This was some time before Nexus became the main leader of the group.
"We have arrived on Koephus. What should be our next move?" Cerci asked.
"From what Minerva told us, Division X will most likely attack us with their weapons and prevent us from getting into the castle." Gustavo said.
He looked at Nexus.
"Fortnately, they don't know that one of our members is a guardian who can disable the weapons with his power." Gustavo said.
Nexus nodded.
"I'll need to get a good look at the weapons before I can deactivate them." Nexus said.
"The weapons aside, we'll still need to fight them. Not to mention the Myriadice are under their control." Mibyll said.
"All we have to do is just knock Minos and they will be free from his mind control right?" Vadon asked.
"And he will try to control our minds aswell. I'll try to put up a barrier in each of our minds to prevent from getting controlled but I don't know if it will be enough." Cerci said.
"Either way, we will save the Myriadice and Minos will answer to the Iron Maiden herself. We will free this planet no matter what." Gustavo said.
"I wonder how Minerva will feel about fighting her old friends." June said.
"I doubt she'll hold back." Cerci said.
Vadon looked out the window and saw the turrets popping out of the ground, aiming at the ship.
"Guys, they're ready to attack!" Vadon said.
The turrets started firing at the ship.
A forcefield appeared around the ship, deflecting the shots.
The bullets from the turrets then teleported past the forcefield and the bullets hit the ship.
"Looks like the Myriadice made the turrets." Mibyll sighed.
June looked at Nexus.
"Sooo, gonna do the thing?" June asked.
Nexus nodded before he looked at the turrets. The image of a gear appeared in his left eye and it started spinning while he was analyzing the weapons
Inside Nexus's mind.
It showed his own evolution realm. There was a large pillar and Nexus was sitting on it. He was sitting on a circle that resembled the gear and appeared to be meditating before images of the turrets appeared before him.
Nexus opened his eyes and looked at the images as he started to glow grey. The images of each turret shattered into pieces.
Back in the real world, Nexus's gear eye stopped spinning and looked at the turrets.
The turrets stopped firing and went back in the ground.
"It worked!" Vadon said.
"Seems like Neonytian technology isn't an exception to my Guardian abilities. All I have to do next is disable their forcefield before we launch our assault." Nexus said.
Hypnos appeared in the ship, more specifically, in the engine room, holding a laser gun.
Hypnos looked around for the source of their ship's fuel and spotted a little blue crystal shoved into the center of the room with cables connected to it with blue energy flowing through the cables.
"...Ah, so they are using Seratite to power up the ship. According to it's file, Seratite energy lasts forever." Hypnos said.
Hypnos aimed the weapon at the Seratite.
"Let's see if it's invulnerable to lasers." Hypnos said.
Hypnos suddenly got blasted by a beam, knocking him into the wall.
He landed on the floor and looked up to see who shot him.
It was Minerva, now wearing the same uniform as the Society of Goodness, holding a huge gun and looking pissed.
"...Minerva...so, you are the Neonyte working with these guys?" Hypnos said.
"Damn right I am. Minos's reign ends today." Minerva said, still aiming the weapon at Hypnos said.
"...So, that's it, huh? You're really going against your own friends?" Hypnos asked, looking strangely mad about this.
"The Society are my friends now, Hypnos. Myriadice will not be the army's puppets anymore." Minerva said.
"...You...bitch." Hypnos said.
Hypnos teleported in front of Minerva and punched her in the face, knocking her on the ground.
He grabbed the gun and aimed it at her face.
"You made a pretty dumb choice. I will put you out of your misery before you can ruin everything for us." Hypnos said.
Minerva just kicked the gun from Hypnos before kicking him in the face.
She got up and when she tried to punch him, he teleported out of the way.
Hypnos reappeared in the room where the rest of the society is and started shooting at them with his laser gun.
The Society dodged the shoots as June shot lasers from her eyes at Hypnos.
Hypnos teleported again and appeared behind June, punching her to the ground.
He teleported again and kicked Vadon in the balls before teleporting and headbutting Cerci in the face.
Hypnos continued teleporting around the members and hitting them.
"Can we manage to stop this guy somehow from teleporting around!?" Vadon asked, holding his crotch in pain.
Nexus looked around and focused, closing his eyes and concentrating.
He opened his eyes.
"Gustavo." Nexus simply said.
The moment Hypnos appeared around Gustavo, Gustavo grabbed him by his neck and punched him into the wall, making a crack the moment he hit's the wall.
Hypnos painfully landed on the floor and his transceiver fell from his pocket, landing far away from him.
June pulled out a remote and pressed a button.
A forcefield appeared around Hypnos, preventing from going anywhere.
Hypnos got up and din't look impressed, as he tried to teleport...and it din't work much to his confusion.
"The fuck?" Hypnos asked.
"Minerva told us about your teleportation ability and so, we upgraded our forcefields to negate any teleportation powers or devices. It's similar to the device you used on the Myriadice." Cerci said.
Minerva walked in the room.
"Good to see that the forcefield is working fine." Minerva said.
Hypnos looked at Minerva, glaring at her.
"You are so dead the moment I get out of this stupid assfield you damn traitor!" Hypnos yelled.
"I'm not letting any more innocent people die because our empire says so, Hypnos. Minos and the rest of Division X is going down." Minerva said.
"Hey, Hypnos, are you there? What happened?" Horae's voice was heard from his transceiver.
Mibyll picked up the transceiver.
"Sorry, but your buddy is kinda stuck now and he can't answer your call but we can in his place." Mibyll said.
"...You ass munchers are not making out of this planet alive. You basically sentenced yourselves to death." Horae said.
"Sure. While you're still on the phone, tell Minos that today is his Judgement day. And you guys can be there to watch." Mibyll said.
"Not in your wildest fucking imagination, bitch." Horae said, ending the transmission.
"Well, looks like we are doing this the hard way then." Mibyll said.
"Indeed. I will disable their forcefield then we can start our attack." Nexus said.
Minerva nodded before she looked at Hypnos.
"...I wish things would of been different, Hypnos." Minerva said.
Hypnos said nothing. He continued giving everyone in the room a deadly glare.
In the castle, Minos and his Neonytes assembled in the throne room.
"Well?" Thor asked.
"Minerva is working with them and turned into a traitor, took out Hypnos and are keeping him prisoners and apparently think that they can take us on." Horae said.
"Either those guys have some massive genitals to challenge us or are plain retarded." Nemesis said.
"Geez, Minerva." Loki sighed.
"What now, general?" Horae asked Minos
Minos simply looked at the floor.
"...The rumors were true...these guys aren't mere amateurs...alright then. Loki, Nemesis, you two go to the first floor and intercept them. I'll have Thor and Horae with me in case the rest come up here. It's clear they'll do anything in their power to give these creatures they're freedom and we can't let that happen. Understood?" Minos asked.
"Yes sir!" Loki and Nemesis mock saluted before they teleported out.
Minos simply sat on his throne.
"...Minerva...it's been two years now...have you finally decided to kill me now?" Minos wondered.
The forcefield around the castle was disabled as the Society's ship descended down and the entire group walked out.
The castle's doors exploded into pieces and the group walked in.
"MINOS! YOUR TIME HAS COME!" Gustavo yelled.
Loki and Nemesis were there who were expecting their arrival.
"Well, well, if it ain't miss Traitor herself." Nemesis frowned.
"Out of our way, Loki, Nemesis." Minerva said.
"Sorry, Min, but we can't really let you fuck up everything for us. I would of considered letting you guys off the hook but after what you did to Hypnos, I'm not letting you guys leave with your lives." Loki said.
"That's right. You crap heads are gonna get what's coming to you." Nemesis said.
"We cannot waste our time with the underlings. Some of should remain here to take care of them while we confront Minos." Cerci said.
"Agreed. Vadon, Mibyll and June, you three take on Loki and Nemesis. The rest of us are going to Minos. Nexus!" Gustavo said.
Nexus nodded as he grabbed Gustavo, Cerci and Minerva and opened up his wings.
"Yeah, what part of not letting you guys fuck up everything for-WOAH!" Loki yelled as Nexus flew right through him and Nemesis knocking them on the ground.
Vadon jumped in the air and aimed his fists at the two Neonytes.
Loki and Nemesis jumped out the way and Vadon punched the ground instead, making two holes in the floor.
Nemesis sends out a large gust of wind at Mibyll, June and Vadon knocking them on the ground.
June shot laser at Nemesis while Mibyll charged right at her.
Vadon ran towards Loki who simply vanished out of sight.
"Huh?" Vadon asked.
Vadon then suddenly felt pain in his stomach as he got punched by the invisible Loki before Loki grabbed him by his neck and threw him on the ground.
Nemesis used more wind gusts to repel June's lasers back at her and Mibyll
Mibyll's arms turned to steel and punched the lasers away before he jumped at Nemesis, attempting to punch her.
Nemesis jumped and kicked Mibyll in the face.
In the throne room, Minos was calmly sitting on the throne with Thor and Horae at his side.
The throne room's door exploded into pieces and Nexus, Gustavo, Minerva and Cerci were there.
Minerva's eyes were glowing with Cyan as she was glaring at her three former comrades.
"...Minerva." Horae growled.
"Minos Drazal, we have come here to release the Myriadice from your control. Release them or face the wrath of our Justice." Gustavo said.
"...Justice, huh? I see. You guys are quite an interesting bunch. I can see why you decided to stick with this group, Minerva." Minos said.
"...I'm taking you down, Minos." Minerva said.
"If you can get past these two." Minos said.
Thor and Horae stood in front of the group, waiting for what's to come.
Nexus charged very fast towards the two.
Thor punched Nexus in the face, sending him crashing into a wall. Before Thor could attempt to rip Nexus into pieces, Gustavo jumped right at Thor, aiming his fists.
Thor blocks Gustavo with his own fists, causing a clash between them that sends them flying.
Cerci shot green energy balls at Horae.
Horae stood still as she froze balls and they flew backwards, hitting Cerci.
"I can control time. This battle was over the moment it started." Horae said.
Cerci took the hit but she clicked her finger and a portal appeared beneath Horae and she fell through it.
The portal appeared on the ceiling and Horae landed from that portal before Cerci blasted her with a beam.
Horae used her power to reverse the beam and it hits Cerci, knocking her on the ground.
Horae used her power to reverse her injuries before decide to set Cerci on Slo-Mo mode and began punching her around.
Minerva charged right at Minos who blocked her fist with his hand.
Minos threw her aside as he got out his sword.
"If you really wish to kill me, you'll have to do better than that." Minos said.
"Trust me, I'm just getting started!" Minerva said, her eyes glowing with Cyan.
Minerva ripped a piece of the wall with just her bare hand and threw it at Minos.
Minos chopped the piece in half with his sword, giving the Minerva the chance to punch him, knocking him back.
This surprised Minos slightly before he stabbed Minerva's arm.
Minerva kicked Minos in the face before she pulled out her sword and began to repeteadly punch him in the face.
Minos's eyes were glowing with olive and Minerva started punching herself instead.
Eventually, Minerva's eyes glew back with Cyan, breaking free out of his control and continued attacking Minos.
Back with the other Society members.
Nemesis was simply smacking Mibyll and June against the ceiling by using her wind ability, looking pretty bored.
Vadon was still get punched by Loki who was invisible before he proceeded to stab Vadon in the abdomen with a knife.
Vadon was hurt but he turned to see Nemesis smacking his friends around.
He temporarely abandons his fight against Loki to lunge at Nemesis, punching her hard in the face, knocking her on the ground.
June and Mibyll landed on the floor.
Loki, still invisible, pulled his Lovian belt from his waist and blasted the wall to make a hole.
The Sun's light illuminated through the hole, covering Vadon in it.
"Ah, ah, ah, ah, it's hot!" Vadon yelled in pain, falling on his knee's.
"Yeah, lay there and burn, Lovian bitch." Loki said.
June immediately got up and her sensors to spot where Loki was at.
She flew towards Loki and punched him in his face, crashing him into the wall.
June aimed her hand and launched a blue beam, hitting Loki again.
Loki was now visible, with smoke coming out of his body before he began sliding down from the wall and landed on the floor, not moving.
He was merely unconscious but he was still defeated nonetheless.
Mibyll picked up Vadon's belt before putting it back on him.
"You okay now, man?" Mibyll asked.
"Y-Yeah, thanks." Vadon sighed in relief.
The three then turned to Nemesis.
Nemesis got up and her eyes glew with immense rage.
She extended her arms out, gathering all the wind towards her.
The wind formed a tornado around her legs, lifting her to the ceiling and her arms were now covered by two large tornado hands while her eyes were still glowing.
"YOU ASSHOLES ARE GOING DOWN!" Nemesis roared.
Nemesis hit's the floor with her tornado fists, sending Mibyll, Vadon and June flying.
Nemesis then aimed her hands at the ceiling and three smacked right into it.
She grabbed June and Vadon with her large hands before she began to crush their very bodies with her hands.
Mibyll got up and looked at Nemesis, trying to get an idea on how to defeat her. He couldn't get close to her thanks to her tornadoes before he looked around the hallway and thought of something.
He put's his hands on the floor and it turned from stone to steel. The steel effect then extended towards the entire room till it was covered in steel.
Mibyll's eyes were glowing as the parts that were made out of steel flew out and wrapped themselves around Nemesis's body. Basically, any limbs that weren't covered by tornado's.
"Hey, hey, WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING YOU DUMB B-" Nemesis's mouth also got wrapped with steel to prevent her from finishing that insult.
The Tornado's vanished and Nemesis landed on the floor before her arms and legs were wrapped in steel parts aswell. Nemesis was stuck and was muffling some swears at Mibyll that couldn't be heard clearly.
June and Vadon landed on the floor.
"Are you okay, guys?" Mibyll asked.
"Feeling a little bit dizzy but I'm okay nonetheless." June said, getting up.
"When did you learn to do that?" Vadon asked Mibyll.
"I practiced. Now let's get to the others." Mibyll said.
Back in the throne room.
Gustavo and Thor were currently punching each other out.
Nexus was attempting to take on Horae who simply reversed his attacks against him while repeteadly punching Cerci in the stomach.
Minerva threw Minos against the wall and when she punched him in the stomach, cracks were visible on the wall.
Minos just spat olive blood in her face.
Minerva wiped the olive blood and before she could punch him some more, she suddenly began walking backwards before she hit's herself against the wall, courtesy of Horae.
Horae kicked Cerci on the ground who looked pretty injured.
"Might aswell give up. Your powers are no match to someone who can control time." Horae said.
Cerci slowly got up. Despite the pain she was in, her eyes were glowing pink and din't look ready to give up.
"...Don't...underestimate...me." Cerci said.
Cerci's arms were glowing pink.
A large clock appeared in front of Horae who simply stared at it in confusion.
Cerci began to move her arms around and the clock started spinning rapidly.
Horae was about to do something till she saw that her arms were moving a bit slowly all of the sudden.
"...What the heeeeelllll aaaarrreee yyyyooouuudddooooiiinnnngggg...." Horae said, suddenly speaking very slowly, aiming her hand at Cerci.
Eventually, the clock stopped moving and vanished while Cerci looked at Horae.
Horae remained there, not moving a muscle and her arm was still aimed at Cerci. She was literally frozen.
Cerci walked up to Horae and pushed her on the ground.
"Let's see if you can use your power to reverse this." Cerci said.
Thor punched Gustavo in the face who then punched Thor in the face.
Thor din't respond to the pain as he attempted to punch Gustavo.
Gustavo dodged his fist before he grabbed his hand and started twisting it before kicking Thor into the wall.
Thor simply got back up and smiled at Gustavo, despite having a twisted hand.
"Well, you're pretty strong, for a human." Thor said.
"You haven't seen anything just yet. If I go past my own body's limits, my true power will be unleashed." Gustavo said.
His fist suddenly started to glow red as he charged at Thor, ready to hit him with the glowing fist.
Thor simply grabbed his fist, lifting Gustavo up as a red energy ball appeared on his other hand.
"...Too bad you will die before I get to see it." Thor said.
Thor then threw Gustavo into the wall before blasting him with the red energy ball, injuring him.
Cerci shot a beam at Thor who deflected it with his hand before he shot Cerci with another energy ball.
Nexus flew towards Thor, stabbing him with his Sword of Judgement.
Thor ripped the sword out of his body, bleeding slightly and smacked it into Nexus.
He then unleashed a wave of red energy balls at Nexus, hitting him and knocking him on the floor. Several cracks appeared on Nexus's body as he landed on the floor.
"Is this what you guys can really do? Come on." Thor said, looking disappointed.
Nexus slowly got up, his eyes glowing yellow.
"...Do not...mock...the power...of our Justice." Nexus said.
Nexus then changed into his golden form and flew right into Thor with incredible speed, smashing him into the wall.
Thor blasted Nexus away from him before he launched two large energy balls at him.
Nexus simply caught the energy balls with his hands before he threw them back at Thor.
Thor, who was laying on his back against the wall from Nexus's attack simply looked at the energy balls coming towards him and his eyes widened.
He got hit by the balls and the wall behind him shattered, the remains landing on Thor.
Thor's body was now buried in the wall remains and was unsconcious from his own blasts.
Nexus then turned to Minos.
Minerva grabbed Minos by his neck, ready to crush it.
"You tormented these creatures for two years but no more! It ends now!" Minerva said.
Minos, while getting choked, looked at Nexus.
Nexus's eyes suddenly glew olive and flew at Minerva, kicking her off Minos.
He then grabbed Minerva by her body and aimed his sword at her chest.
"Guess guardian's aren't mentally strong as everyone made them out to be. Well, Minerva, it's been nice seeing you after so much time has passed but I have a long schedule ahead of me. So, Metalman, annihilate your enemy." Minos said.
Nexus's head turned to Minos.
"...With pleasure." Nexus said.
He shot lasers from his eyes, hitting Minos's chest.
He then threw Minerva who punched Minos into the wall.
There was a huge tear in Minos's shirt, exposing his chest which now has a scar from Nexus's lasers and had a mark on his cheek from Minerva's fist. He looked surprised as he laid there and looked at Nexus.
"...Wait...I thought you were under my control." Minos said.
"If I was still a simple Metalman, you would of been able to control me. I pretended to be under your control and because of that, you let your guard down. A big mistake." Nexus said.
"...I see...well, consider me impressed, Metalman." Minos said.
Mibyll, June and Vadon arrived in the room and spotted Gustavo and Cerci who looked injured. They helped them get up before they turned to Minos.
Minos got up as he saw Horae still frozen, Thor was still unconscious and was surrounded by the Society members.
"What is your next move, Drazal?" Gustavo asked.
"...My next move...would be to give up. Most of my men are either captured or unconscious and it's me against 7 of you. I know I'm outmatched here. Well, Minerva, you finally get your chance. Finish it." Minos said.
Minerva approached Minos, looking angry with him.
"...As much as I want to...killing you won't make me better than you...your fate will be decided by the people you enslaved, in Iron Maiden Raina's Court of Justice. Now, release the Myriadice from your control." Minerva said.
"...As you wish." Minos said.
Minos got out his transceiver and pressed a button.
It cuts outside and the chips implanted on the back of the Myriadice's heads landed on the ground, releasing them from Minos's mind control.
"...Uh...where...where am I?" A Myriadice asked.
"...I feel like I've been unconscious for two years." Another Myriadice said.
"My head hurts." Another Myriadice said.
"I think someone might of defeated the Neonytes and saved us all!" The Myriadice said.
The Myriadice crowd turned around and saw the Society of Goodness walking out with Minos, who's hands were cuffed up and were carrying the rest of Minos's team.
The Myriadice glared at Minos and his group.
"Why is that shithead still alive?" A Myriadice asked.
"Minos will have a trial in which all of you will get to be his jury and decide his fate. That's how we shall do this." Gustavo said.
"...Where will the trial take place at?" A Myriadice asked, looking skeptic about this.
"In Raina's Court. Come with us." Cerci said.
The Myriadice looked confused but accepted as they followed the group into the ship and it flew off.
They arrived on Universe 11's Earth and were in front of a white church made out of steel and covered in vines.
"...I'm not familiar with Earth's buildings, but I'm sure this is not a court." One of the Myriadice said.
"Technically it's both a church...and a court." June said.
The door opened.
"Come in." A voice said.
The group entered in, along with Minos and his Division.
Inside was the Iron Maiden chamber and when it opened, Raina was inside, looking at them.
"Welcome to my sanctuary, Myriadice. In this place, you will get to decide the fate of the one who enslaved you all." Raina said.
"...Where is the court?" A Myriadice asked.
"We are standing right in it." Raina said.
Raina walked out of the vessel as she clapped her hands together.
Suddenly, the entire church began changing it's structure into a white Court. Inside, the church room was now a courtroom.
The Myriadice looked around, they looked very confused.
"What happened?" One of them asked.
"This place was built by the first original guardian of Universe 11, Xan. It's a holy place that was structured as both a church and a court. This is the place where a person from Universe 11 becomes a guardian. When they find something to protect, they go to this place to make a unbreakable vow to protect the person, object or world they care about and gain their power here. This building cannot be destroyed by fire or anything else. Since I'm a guardian, I can access it and turn it from a church into a court or vice versa." Raina explained.
"I see...so what do we have to do?" The Myriadice asked.
Raina floated and landed on her seat at the judge bench.
"You may get to be the Jury and decide Minos's fate." Raina said.
The Myriadice looked at each other and about 10 of them sat at the jury stand. Two of them happened to be the little girl's parents who were related to the king.
"Before we decide, Minos Drazal, please stand up." Raina announced.
Minos stood up.
"Please tell us your side of the story. Why exactly you decided to enslave the Myriadice." Raina said.
"...I was given an assignment from Hyperion Cromwell to participate in the invasion of these creatures. I'm not sure if you know but the generals of our own divisions cannot exactly refuse orders or drastic consequences will occur. And so, me and my Division X went to this Universe to take over their planet and exterminate them. However, their teleportation powers were useful and decided to keep them around instead." Minos said.
"And then you killed our King for no reason and put some chips on the back of our heads!" A Myriadice said.
"The King tried to attack me and refused to cooperate. At that point, I had no choice but to kill him." Minos said.
"In front of his niece." Minerva said.
"And if she wasn't his niece, you wouldn't of abandoned us because of that?" Minos asked.
"No, I would of left regadless even if she was or wasn't his niece. What you did was wrong." Minerva said.
"Perhaps, but I inserted the mind control chips on their heads since there would of been no chance of them cooperating with us after their king died and their powers were too useful to let go of. Besides, they were mostly asleep while they were controlled so atleast they weren't awake when I put them to work." Minos said.
"Being forced to work while not being aware of what you are doing is far worse than them being awake while doing it." Mibyll said.
"Maybe if most of you were Neonytes, you would understand the position I'm in. Trust me, I have my job as much as Minerva did, but my fate was decided a long time by my parents who were in cahoots with the Cromwell's. Since I was the older child, they made me do stuff that I din't want to and got me involved with the military, something that I din't wish to. I wanted to have a different life." Minos said.
"If you wanted to have a different life, then why did you continue? Why din't you decide to run away and start a new life for youself?" Raina asked.
"It's not that easy as you might imagine. Turning on the King aswell as the Cromwell's is basically a death sentence. I really had no choice but to do what I was meant to do till I become old and die, just like that." Ares said.
"...I see...but perhaps...you don't have to do that. Everyone get's a chance in life, and you can too. You can abandon your old job and become a better person, to fight your society's cruel rules and create a better future for yourself." Raina said.
"...Hmph. It's really funny." Minos said.
"...?" Raina simply stared.
"It's funny how you guardians think you know a person in and out but unfortunately, all of you are always far away from the truth even when it's staring you in the face. You have no idea about what I went through and what I had to go to get to where I am. I'm not sure you know the concept of true pain." Minos said.
"...I'm familiar with that concept...it's a terrible pain that I had to carry with me for ages now...but I can tell you don't believe me...so, instead of telling you...I can show you...my suffering." Raina said.
Raina was now in front of Minos.
"Hold my hand." Raina said, helding her hand out.
Minos simply looked at her but he did so.
Suddenly, the two of them were now in a completely different area.
They were in front of the white church and there were two people there. A woman who looked like Raina except she din't have her pink eyes and was holding a baby with pink eyes. It was Raina when she was a baby. The woman was standing in front of a black haired woman with a ponytail who was dressed as a nun.
"My father died when I was young. My mother loved him so much that she abandoned her will to live and gave me away to her best friend, Cadence, who became my surrogate mother...aswell as my guardian." Raina said.
The area changed into the church room where Cadence was reading the Bible to a ten year old Raina.
"Cadence showered me with her love and I repayed her with my own love for her. Cadence's power was based on light, the ability to use it as any type of weapon. Cadence was not the only guardian however. There were four others who were her friends." Raina said.
Four people appeared in the room.
"Rafael" Raina said, gesturing at the muscular man with long brown hair, wearing a white sleeveless armor with shoulder pads, a white cape and holding the sword of Judgement that Nexus has with him.
"Asriel" She said, gesturing at a short looking person with short white hair with a halo floating above his head, wearing a long sleeved blue shirt with a sigil on it which resembled the symbol of the Prophet's eye, a golden belt and blue pants
"Haley" Raina said, gesturing at the woman with the long brown hair, white robe and glasses.
"And Jacob" Raina said, gesturing at a teenager with long black hair, two red eyes, wearing a white shirt with black pants.
"The five of them were the heroes of this world. They were known as the Hearts of Justice. They were strongest ones of the planet and protected this world for awhile...but a tragedy happened." Raina said.
The area changed to the city which was on fire and the buildings were collapsing.
The Hearts of Justice were facing a giant demon wearing armor and helmet with a long purple ponytail peering out of the back of his helmet who was growling at them.
"Thanatos, an undead demon of destruction, summoned by Orpheus's minion was sent to Universe 11 to find the Crest of Techno and destroy it before new Omnipotents would be born." Raina said.
The five guardians charged at the large demon while Raina, who was a teenager at the time, watched the fight.
Cadence launched some bullets made out of light at Thanatos, Asriel send clones of himself at Thanatos as his eyes were glowing, trying to find a solution to defeat Thanatos, Rafael charged at him with the Sword of Judgement, Haley tried to jump into it's mind only to be repelled while Jacob threw ice spears at him.
"Unfortnately, they could not be able to defeat it. And each of them..." Raina said.
Jacob was laying on the floor, impaled by his own ice spears.
Pieces of Rafael's body were laying on the ground.
Haley was laying on her back, with a huge hole in her chest.
Asriel was laying on a pool of his own blood.
"Died. The last one standing was Cadence who was still fighting Thanatos but then, he noticed me." Raina said.
Thanatos turned to Raina and launched a red ball at Raina.
Cadence's eyes widened and yelled at Raina to run away.
Raina tried to run but she fell on the ground and as the ball was about to hit her...
BOOM!
Raina opened her eyes...and saw Cadence on top of Raina, hugging her with smoke coming out of her back.
Raina's simply looked at Cadence, with shock in her eyes.
Cadence smiled at Raina before she collapsed on her. Raina hugged Cadence as she bursted into tears while the city was burning in the background
"Cadence took the blast for me...and she died. The person who took care of me died right in front of me...with the guardians dead, there was no one else to fight Thanatos...no one else except me. I went back to the church and decided to become a guardian. I made a vow to protect the world that Cadence loved so much, even if it meant my own death." Raina said.
The image changed to the church room as Raina was praying before she began glowing and her outfit changed to a black sleeveless armor with the Justice Symbol on it, white gloves, black pants and white boots, also wearing a helmet on her head with a short pointy spike merging out of it.
"I became a guardian and had the same power of light like Cadence. However, my power would not be enough to defeat Thanatos and so, I called upon the spirits of Cadence, Rafael, Asriel, Haley and Jacob to give me their strength. At first, they were devastated because they couldn't keep their promises, they were suffering the worst fate that only a guardian would experience when they fail. I managed to convince them and so, in order to gain access to their powers, they sacrificed their evolution spirits and formed into the Iron Maiden chamber. Once I went into the chamber, I gained their abilities and the only way I could use them is if I use the Fusion Evolution technique. I fought Thanatos in my original form before I used the fusion Evolution to fuse with the five spirits and destroyed him. Once he was finished, The world was saved and everyone cheered me, I became a hero to them, their new symbol of Hope...but my heart was still in pain from Cadence's death and so, I decided to stay in the chamber, to avoid looking at the world till..." Raina said.
The area then changed into Raina's Evolution realm. Which showed twelve Earths, united with each other.
"Till all the worlds will get along and become friends. That's when Cadence's dream will come true and true peace will be realized." Raina said.
Minos simply looked at the twelve Earths, not saying anything.
Raina turned to Minos.
"...I could not protect the entire Universe and so, I decided to recreate Cadence's group, and that group happened to be the Society of Goodness, their only goal being to be the pillars of Justice that shine through the darkness of the world and destroy evil." Raina said.
"...Then this means...that you will have to destroy me." Minos said.
"...Even if you may be evil...Cadence told me that evil should be given a second chance. You and I had different experiences and different pains...however...me and the Society can help you, maybe we can work together, I could change you. You don't need to be alone." Raina said.
Raina held out her hand to Minos.
"Let me help you." Raina said.
Minos looked at her hand before looking at Raina.
"...No." Minos said.
Minos turned his back to her.
"No...it's far too late for me. My fate...has been decided a long time ago...ever since I was born...you know what to do next." Minos said.
"...I see." Raina said, looking sad.
The Iron Maiden chamber appeared and Raina went inside, the vines wrapping around her body and the chamber closed.
"...My heart always cries for those who can't be saved." Raina said, as tears merged out of the vessel's eyes.The area then changed back into the courtroom, where everyone else was.
"...I believe we heard enough. It's time we hear the verdict." Raina said.
The Myriadice looked at each other and nodded as one of them got up.
"Minos Drazal, for invading our planet, killing our king and several of our soldiers and enslaving us all...we sentence you...to death." Myriadice said.
"...Hmph, figured as much." Minos said.
Minos looked at Raina.
Raina closed her eyes before she reopened them and sighed.
She looked at Nexus who nodded in response.
Nexus stood in front of Minos, holding the Sword of Judgement, before raising it in the air.
Minos simply smiled, looking happy.
He turned his head to Minerva.
"...Finally...I'm free." Minos said.
Nexus aimed the sword and...
CHOP!
Minos's head landed on the floor, which was now covered in olive blood flowing out of his neck
Division X simply stood there in shock while Hypnos collapsed on his knee's, devastated by Minos's execution.
The Myriadice simply glared at his corpse, along with the King's niece.
Minerva simply looked at Minos's body, actually looking sad.
"...Are you alright?" June asked.
"...I thought I would be happy once he would of died...but now...I don't feel happy." Minerva said.
Raina looked sad aswell as everyone was now quiet, they're eyes were now on Minos's body.
FEW YEARS LATEROn planet Eden.
Freya, who was now a woman, was at the cemetery, standing in front of Ares's grave, putting flowers on it. Right behind her were two kids with black hair. Both of them were her children.
Freya then walked to the grave next to Ares's.
It was Minos's grave.
Freya puts the flower on his grave aswell.
"...That's uncle Minos's grave, right momma?" One of the two children asked.
"Yes, honey...it is his grave." Freya said.
"...Did the Omnipotents kill him too?" The second child asked.
"No...it was that traitor, Minerva, who captured him and was executed by some guardian." Freya said.
"...Oh." The child said.
"...He was actually very nice to me as a child...I wish he lived long enough so you two could of met him." Freya said.
"...Helios could summon him for us...she can talk to the dead after all." The first child said.
"....I guess so. Let's go." Freya said.
Freya and her children left.
Minerva, Mibyll and Vadon were on top of a hill, looking at the cemetery from there.
"...Now with Minos gone, how do you feel?" Mibyll asked.
"...Honestly...I don't feel anything. I'm not happy or sad at all...I just...don't feel anything." Minerva said.
"What did he mean when he said that he is finally free?" Vadon asked.
"...I don't know...but I'm guessing he is happier...wherever he is now. The rest of Division X are now in the prison world, where they will stay from now on." Minerva said.
"...Well, atleast you can finally forget about the past and move on." Mibyll said.
"...Can I though? I'm officially a traitor to my own race. I can't go back to my home planet now without being killed right on the spot for what happened to Division X...I can't go back to my family...I have nothing now." Minerva said, looking at the ground.
Vadon put his hand on her shoulder.
"That's not true. You still have us, remember?" Vadon asked.
"Yeah, we're your friends. Besides, you saved an entire race from being slaves and now they are free. You should be happy about that." Mibyll said.
"...I guess...but." Minerva said.
"No buts. Trust me, you are better off with us than you were with your old group. Now you can save lives instead of ending them." Mibyll said.
"...And with Nexus's guardian blessing...we can save lives forever." Minerva said.
"Exactly. So...try to forget about the past, okay?" Mibyll asked.
"...I'll try...it will be hard...but I will try." Minerva said.
Minerva turned to them, smiling.
"Thanks guys. Don't know what I would do without you." Minerva said.
"Don't mention it. Now come on, the others are waiting for us at the bar, we're celebrating for our new victory." Mibyll said.
"I'm calling dibs on the Cherry drink!" Vadon said.
Minerva smiled and nodded as she followed Mibyll and Vadon.
