THE FROZEN PLANET, Part 1
It was snowing again. Nothing New. It's been snowing all of her life after all.
Sanar woke up on the floor again, her eyelids fluttered and struggled to stay open when faced with the cold from the open bedroom window.
Rubbing the sleep-dust out of her eyes, the youth stood up- looking over her room- which was relatively clean for a spot shared by two omnipotent children. Naan wasn't in the bed, so Sanar could already guess why she was sleeping on the floor.
The air was still, the curtains affixed to the windows un-moving, Changing out of her pajamas into a blue coat, brown trousers and black boots. She fiddled with the fur lining of her sleeve so that it was more comfortable, before she walked out of her bedroom.
Sanar had cream skin, wide, pitch black eyes. and a small button nose- her hair was shoulder length, and a light beige colour. the wooden floor creaked as she walked over it, and into the kitchen- where the woman looking after them was waiting.
A Rather chubby old lady with closed eyes and her aged brown hair placed in a bun was sitting on a chair at the kitchen table, the only one of the 4 chairs in use. The Table itself had a steaming bowl of ramen on it's counter.
"Ah, Good morning dear."The Old Lady smiled, Adjusting her seat while Sanar walked up and sat down across from her.
"Morn, Gran."Sanar responded. "Where's Naan?"She asked.
"Oh,she went off to train with Dilon."Gran smiled. "They said you get the day off."
Sanar just shrugged "I never wanted to go anyway."She said, as she started to sip on her ramen. She was done within seconds.
"Well, this just means you get the day to do whatever you want to, play with some friends- go exploring- but not too far, "
Hearing she could spend the day doing whatever she wanted, Sanar grabbed the remains of her ramen- and dashed out of the door "Thanks Grandma!"She called out, the door swinging in her wake.
The Old Lady just smiled in response.
The Village Sanar lived in was half empty. That was no exaggeration. Sanar felt a bit sad when she saw the mess of houses next to hers that were completely unsuitable for living. The most obvious being one that completely lacked a left side.
Sanar's feet crushed the snow under her heel as she ran on through the area, she eventually reached the civilized part of the town, Someone called out to her- asking where Nikolai was hiding, she ignored them and continued on her way.
She Ran right past the village square, right past Noel's Ice castle- she wouldn't dare go inside, she knew for a fact that Noel's polar bear wants to eat her- despite his claims otherwise.
Sanar ran right out of town and continued on her way, she'd never get lost. If she needed to find her way home she'd only need to activate her power and go where the most thoughts were. She ran on her way, hoping the Ramen wouldn't get cold by the time she got to her destination.
----
A Couple of years ago, around the time Sanar was still a toddler. A Group of Orphans living with a lady on top of a hill got massacred- noone survived except for the lady.
Word eventually spread to Sanar's village- which had only just began to pull itself together, Eventually, the Wish Omnipotent; Nikolai- outed himself as responsible, as he gave a wish to each of the orphan children.
=1 year ago=
Sanar was younger, her hair was shorter- the wind was heavier. Noel and Nonias were standing in front of a ice fountain, The two Flirting in ways that Sanar really didn't want to look at anymore, so she turned her head across the street.
A Gruff looking man with Black hair and a cleft chin was talking to a group of village residents.
"That monster is still here with us, The one who gave that psychopath a chance to kill all of those orphans"He yelled, His thoughts were near identical-" that asshole should've known one of them was mentally unstable enough to try to pull a fucking riot! He's going to get what's coming to him!"
There were murmors of agreement among the crowd around him. A Few thoughts that reached Sanar declared
"That same wish, did revive me. he clearly had better intentions"
"He probably wanted it! Those omnipotents were always so high and mighty!"
"that monster!"
"So, You want that Wish Granting Monster- who never gave us any wishes- to get what's coming to him!?
"YEAH!"
"Then, listen to me everyone"He said, as his voice went down to a whisper, Sanar hid herself behind a box, and turned to look for Noel, he and Nonias must've went off to construct his palace, the 9 year old omnipotent was alone in her witness.
Despite the man's whisper being to quiet for her to hear, the Girl's telepathy made it easy for her to pick up exactly what was going on.
"Then Tonight, we find his House. and Burn it to the Ground."
"a great idea" "he deserves it" "with him around, the others shouldn't need to protect us- yet he lets them do all the work anyway- the lazy monster deserves his comeuppance"
Sanar knew exactly what she needed to do in order to save her fellow omnipotent.
At the time, Nikolai was making a bracelet in his study, the room was littered with wish bracelet's of a similar caliber- a few had differently coloured marbles- and most of the ones on the ground had been smashed to pieces prior.
The Bald Man was wearing a rather dirty shirt and some trousers, a priest's outfit he used to wear on a near daily basis lay discarded on his bed.
Something entered his brain, and a flood of other people's thoughts arrived in his conscious.
The shock of it brought him to the floor and caused him to drop the wish-bracelet he was currently making, it fell to the ground- one of it's pink marble's being knocked loose and rolling under his bed.
The only person even capable of throwing someone elses thoughts into his head was Sanar, and he knew for a fact that all of these thoughts were centered around him- He got himself up and looked out the window- the sun set fast- it had always done so for the past decade.
"Thank you Sanars. But, you didn't need to do this." He thought, knowing the child was gifted enough to receive it.
"But, I wanted to- They're going to kill you, Nik!"
"...I know, I'll be taking my leave now."
"Leave? But-"
"I know you'll find me anyway, but please- can you grant me this one wish?" He smiled as he thought this, knowing that wishes were his deal, not the telepathic Sanar's.
"Keep my whereabouts hidden, While I'd like not to see any of these people again. I feel so sad knowing what my actions allowed. I know that they'd hunt me down and kill me."
"NO! You're Staying, I'll get the Others to fight these people off and save you!"
"Fight off the people you've all sworn to protect?"
"YOU SWORE IT TOO!"
Nikolai's brain was rattled by Sanar's desperation- he felt a idea try to crawl its way into his head.
"stayandlettheothershelpout stayandlettheothershelp out stay and lettheothershelpout"
Nikolai managed to ignore it though, he just got to work packing his things, and then looked at the wish bracelet. he held it in both hands.
"I wish i wasn't here- and I wish wherever I am, it is near impossible to get to."He said aloud- tearing the bracelet in two; the rules of the universe altered themselves, and in a flash of light- Nikolai vanished.
Sanar's felt his thoughts vanish from her sixth sense,and shortly re-appear further away.
When the Mob came to lynch the wish omnipotent, all they found was a bunch of scattered and shattered wishing bracelets.
"He fucking Left!?"The Cleft chin man growled. "Where the fuck is he?"
"I don't know, Gaston! The Monster must've high-tailed it!"A Housewife called out from the hallway
In the year that past, Gaston and a handful of other villagers continued to try to find out where Nikolai was- they didn't search outside the village so they never got far- when Noel asked Sanar, she told him that he was locked up in his basement. Frankly, she was suprised that Noel took her word for it.
==back to present=
He was in a cottage on a lone snowy hill, Sanar rarely got the chance to go by, she was able to without risk of being tailed- only omnipotents were allowed to leave the village that was guarded by noel's frozen castle.
The Ramen was getting slightly cold, but she could feel his thoughts nearby.
as she made her treck up the hill that was permanently snowing, the snowstorm's on hills weren't anything unusual- Sanar had adapted enough for it not to faze her that much- even with her eyes glued shut by her instincts so as to keep the snow out of her pupils, she could sense him and the cottage he was in due to his thoughts.
As she went up the chill, she found she could feel two thoughts
"why isn't he opening this door?"
"sanar? is that you?"
Sanar almost freaked out- her eyes widened and some snow got stuck in there, she moved her hands to wipe her eye and marched on upwards still, sending a thought into nikolai's brain
"That's not me!"
the same thought came from both figures up there, "What"
When Sanar reached the cottage, it was hard to see- but there was a figure standing outside it. Just standing there, as Sanar approached it.
When she got closer, there was less blur from the snow- the figure in front of them and the cottage was cloaked, and appeared to be wearing a pitch black mask, making it impossible to tell who it is.
Sanar, rather scared to see a stranger in front of a house only she should've been able to detect, froze in her place. as the Cloaked figure raised a hand.
"Kid, just, Just Leave Kid, I'm busy" The Figure thought to itself- seeming to be unaware that Sanar had thought powers, or telepathy.
"Who are you?"Sanar asked- before getting a snowflake stuck in her throat. She hurled over slightly and began to cough- but the snowflake melted within time and went down to her stomach without any fight. Sanar pulled herself up again- to find the Cloaked Figure had vanished.
despite not being able to pinpoint it's location, their thoughts "I guess i'll just come back later" were still in the air for the thought omnipotent to pick up on.
Nikolai opened the door, Sanar instantly walked into the house admist the snowstorm- the cottage had no windows, and miraculously- it was stable enough to survive this permanent tornado it seemed to be stuck in.
"Do you know who that was?"Sanar thought to Nikolai- whenever the two met- they communicated through her telepathy- in case the strong winds carried any of their speeches to outside the mountain, sanar didn't know much about science, so to her mind- it was possible.
"No, Do you?"

THE FROZEN PLANET, PART 2
Nikolai sipped up the ramen- which had been poured out of the bottle onto a clean bowl.
"Ugh, a bit chilly."He commented. "But, There's kind of a snowstorm outside. Can't be helped."He said, before he continued- it didn't take long for him to finish the ramen.
Sanar was sitting on a cushion that lay on the floor. her bare hands feeling to see if they could finally figure out what the house was made out of; even though it looked like the same material used in the houses in the village- it felt a lot sturdier, and almost completely alien to the girl's fingers.
"So, did you really just come here to give me a snack?"Nikolai asked.
"I wanted it to last a bit longer."Sanar said, shrugging.
"But, still, You're just lucky you managed to wish yourself safe passage up this mountain."Nikolai said.
Nikolai's wish powers were- much like a genie- unusually specific, they could basically do anything- as long as someone states it as a 'wish'. somehow, he eventually learned to channel his wish abilities into these bracelet's he made- which basically just let him warp reality by wishing himself things. He doesn't give them to people anymore- due to what happened last time.
When he wished himself away- this house and the permanent snow storm on the mountain seemed to happen to, When sanar wished to be able to see him- due to how it was worded, this snow storm would never be able to hurt her- ever.
Sanar shrugged in response, Nikolai went over to the door- likely to open it so she can leave, but she latched onto his sleeve, The older man turned his head quizzically to look at her.
"I'm sorry, but i'm not going to leave with that cloaked person out there."Sanar said, looking at nikolai with a expression that portrayed her nervousness significantly well.
"Child, are you scared?"Nikolai asked.
"To be honest, I am."Sanar said. "But can you blame me? Noone else is supposed to be able to get here!"
Nikolai was about to rebute that fact, but Sanar made a good point. There would be no real reason for anyone to come here. The Permanent snow storm was only one in a million of these weather phenomenom's that had spurred into this planet a while ago. Even then, with the way things were going- this kind of place would be one that someone would want to stay away from. Whoever that cloaked figure was, they had to have known that Nikolai was there.
"...Alright, You can stay here for a few more hours. It's still morning."Nikolai said.
"Yay!"Sanar smiled, throwing her arms in the air "I promise I'll keep you safe, sir!"
"Enough of that sir nonsense."Nikolai frowned, laughing slightly at the youth.
_____________________
"And, with no Mirrors around, how to you intend to use that power of yours, child?"
Naan got flung straight into the ceiling of the dome Arena, due to her opponent's gravity powers- she didn't fall back down to the floor.
Naan was a year younger than Sanar, with short blond hair she forced into scrunchies a little too big for it, complete with a fur cap, and a pink jacket over a dress- with a little plush bunny-shaped hackey-sack hanging from a thread on her pocket- her most notable physical trait was her rather floppy earlobes.
The Rather loud man who was sparring with her was significantly older, judging by appearance he was around his early 50s, Dilon was Muscular, with a Long Mustache and Beard, despite his head being so bald it was near blinding to look at. He wore a Red Jacket with Matching Trousers and a Black sash holding them up.
"I expect a answer!"Dilon boomed. Naan's eyes flashed from spot to spot in the arena before her eyes settled on a small puddle of water, she stood herself up- being upside-down due to dilon's gravity power sticking her to the ceiling, as she ran over to where her reflection would show in the puddle.
Dilon, as though he anticipitated this, turned and stomped his foot, sending Naan back to the ground. It was a bit too late to stop her, as her reflection was clearly in the water, and when she fell. It burst right out of the puddle.
Reflectnaan's form was a lot more transculent. Dilon chortled upon seeing it.
"Ah, I'm impressed."He smiled, as a few more Reflectnaan's hopped out of the puddle in a similar manner. Dilon stomped on the ground again and they were sent flying into the ceiling- smashing into drops of water the second they made contact. Naan Grumbled in annoyance. "But do you think such fragile forms are going to take me out?"He asked.
"S-Somehow!"Naan called out- her voice sounding significantly unconfident, Dilon just rolled his eyes and kept sending more and more Reflectnaan's into the ceiling- where they joined the rest as small puddles sticking to the top. The girl looked into the reflection and could see Dilon's if she looked in a certain angle.
Naan closed her eyes and many a Reflectnaan sprouted out of the puddle, charging at Dilon- a few of them managed to attack him due to sheer numbers but most got sent to the ceiling,
While he was focused on them, a Reflectdilon charged out of the puddle and smashed him right in the face- sending Dilon staggering on his feet for a few seconds, before he punched the Reflection- which, due to being stronger than a 9 year old girl- stayed in one piece.
"I'm impressed."Dilon said. "You managed to make more than one type of reflection today."He grinned. Naan just smiled, wiping some sweat off of her forehead.
"This calls for a treat, on the house. Naan." Dilon grinned.
----
Naan and Dilon helped themselves to a few Fireapples from a tree at the edge of the village, due to the cold climate the world had been thrust into- some plantlife managed to adapt to generate self-sustaining heat. The Fireapple trees were among them- making the fruit it bore a wonderful snack on those cold days.
Naan's feet swung back and forth from the bench table she rested on, while Dilon watched a couple of polar bears brawling on the snowy plains at the back of the village. It was hard to tell but, he thought he could see a glowy figure standing a little bit behind the bears.
Dilon stood up, Naan turned to look at him, her attempts at asking if he was okay muffled by the food in her mouth.
"Who's out there?"He called out, his voice was loud enough to reach the glowy figure, but even if they heard. They likely wouldn't respond.
His eyes squinted as he walked off towards the plain to get a better look. The figure seemed to blur away as he got closer.
"D-Dilon? Where are you going?"Naan called out to the old man. Dilon just continued to stare,
"Naan, stay back here. I'll rush back if anything goes wrong."Dilon said, as he walked out into the empty snow plains.
There was no sign of any glowing figure, just the two polar bears who were still brawling over something. Their growls only serving to distract Dilon from his search.
"Oh break it up you two!"He yelled out, stomping the floor, the two polar bears went flying down south, eventually smacking into a tree with very minimal damage. they ran off into the woods, the display of power enough to scare them-- it seemed.
Naan watched him stomp around the plains from a distance, still chewing into her apple.
"Hey, Kid."Someone called out from the village, a teenage boy with short black hair wearing a white jacket made of a fabric that- she just couldn't look at without getting a headache and- oddly enough- a pair of shorts. walked up to the Young omnipotent and sat down next to her. "I'm Inun, What's your name?"He asked.
"...Naan."Naan said, fidgeting with her cap. She'd never seen this guy before, which in and of itself told her that he wasn't from this area.
"Naan, huh. So. You're one of the omnipotents, are you?"He asked.
"..U..Um, Should I be talking to you?"She asked.
"No worries kid, No worries at all.I'm new here- The hot chick told me to get to some 'pillar' place, do you know where that is?"
"What do you mean by, hot chick?"Naan asked, scudging away from him.
"...Look, Naan. Can you take me to that pillar? Simple question."Inun said, his eyes looked significantly harsher than they did before. Naan shivered slightly while looking at them.
"I... I D-Don't Know what Y-You're talking about, C-Can you please leave?"Naan asked, feeling really cold just looking at his face.
"Hey, who's that?"A Voice of one of the villagers called out. Inun turned from Naan to see a Young teenage girl with black hair-the villager, accompanied by a albino girl in a brown cloak- Ponek, the will omnipotent, who looked really sad for some reason.
"Shit, I'll be seeing ya kid. Goodbye!"Inun gulped, jolting up from his seat and running off somewhere, the Teenage villager and Ponek ran after him, but Inun seemed to vanish into thin air after running into a rather prominent bush.
"Shit, we lost him!"The teenager called out from the bushes. "He has to be around here somewhere"
"It, doesn't matter anyway. Let's just go back, Sandra."
"Ponek- what the hell is wrong with you? We can't just give up."
"It was probably just a traveler, Please- I ... I just need to lie down."
"Ugh, fine. You stay- I'll Look around for whoever that was."
Dilon seemed to have run over to them- judging by the silence that intervened the offscreen conversation for a few minutes, before he inevitably stated;
"I'll go look around for whoever your chasing after, you two both go back."
Noone ever argued with Dilon, so the two- Sandra and Ponek, both walked out of the bush, past Naan, and off to the village. Sandra significantly angrier.
"Naan, you should go back too."Dilon said, even though he couldn't see whether Naan was nearby or not- due to the fauna blocking off both of their views, Nonetheless. the Reflection Omnipotent did as he said and went back. She still felt unbelievably cold.

THE FROZEN PLANET, PART 3 With Sanar off doing whatever and Nikolai having locked himself away (most of them were pretty sure that Sanar was running off to check on Nikolai- but for some reason noone ever followed her- They had speculated it was because of a wish one of the two made), There were only 6 omnipotents left in the village- they didn't know who the other four were- but they probably lived in other countries or died a while ago.
Inun's strange appearance had worried the Omnipotents who were there to see it- When Naan had told Dilon about the 'pillar' the strange man had wanted her to take him to- and how cold and dizzy she started to feel when she looked at him, it had caused great alarm- He gathered the omni's still in the village for a meeting.
They had four empty seats in case they ever were to meet the rest of the omnipotents, a round Table sat in Noel's frozen castle, in a room only he would be able to grant access to. 2 seats were of course reserved for Sanar and Nikolai; since they weren't there, the table was half fully seated.
Ignoring any empty Chairs, Naan was next to the Seat reserved for Sanar, and the Omnipotent of Health, a Rather clean looking Man with Neatly Combed Black hair and a clean white coat. She thought his name was Mont- but they never talked much, so she wasn't sure.
"So, This guy, Inun- Wants to go to a 'Pillar'?"Nonias, midway through a cup of tea, asked.
"That's what the child said."Dilon responded. Naan pressed herself against her chair- she always felt nervous during these meetings.
"I really don't see why this is a problem."Noel said, leaning forwards- he didn't look to comfortable. "It's just a interdimensional tourist. There's been stranger things."
"Honestly, The main issue is what Naan ended up feeling just by looking at him."Mont said. "She's normally a fragile girl anyway, so i can't say i didn't expect the emotional reaction. But, I can tell that whatever happened has made her feel sick. Physically- With Me here, She shouldn't have even had that headache."
"But- for some reason just one look at the guy caused her to catch something akin to a light fever."Nonias finished.
Naan could tell they were going to keep discussing the man for a bit more, so she zoned out- For some reason, Ponek's face caught her attention- The Teenage omnipotent still looked to be in a funk.- she was just staring at her right arm, putting absolutely no focus into the discussion the rest of the group were having.
"Child."Dilon said simply, Snapping Naan back into the conversation
"So, In the End. What's more important here? This pillar place he wanted to go, Or Who he is?"Nonias asked.
"It wouldn't be too far fetched to guess both are connected, would it?"Ponek asked- her first words since they arrived.
"...I suppose not, but a pillar- that could be any place, couldn't it?"Noel asked. "There's a lot of pillars in the world, Frankly what I don't get is Why this guy thought Naan knew where it was, I mean, who'd ask a nine year old to take them somewhere?"
For a few seconds, there was more silence.
"That's, actually a good point."Dilon said. Noel's eyebrows furrowed.
"Yeah- I'm more than just the Idiot of the group."He commented, sarcastically.
"So, Why would he ask Naan?"Nonias asked, repeating Noel's question from earlier.
"I... I don't really know what he meant by pillar. "Naan said. "That's One of those, Spiky, things right?"
"No, That's a icicle."Noel said.
"So, Just to keep things simple."Dilon said. "There's two things we need to know about this guy, Who he is and how he managed to give Naan a fever by looking at him. Second is; What did he mean by pillar, and what does he hope to do there- Omnipotents, I suggest you all keep a eye out for this man. When Sanar gets back; At least keep this in your head; she'll probably find out that way. I declare this meeting Adjourned."
Everyone but Ponek stood up, as Noel removed a part of the wall in the room with his mind, revealing a hallway- they all walked down it to get to what looked to be a frozen bathroom, the wall was re-made, All but Noel and Nonias left the castle.
Naan's eyes were glued to Ponek, her feet dragged and caught clumps of snow at their heels as she walked down the frozen stairs and off on her own. Her Pink eyes left a haze behind them as she walked off into the distance- something they only ever did when she was hyped up.
"You found her mood strange too, I take it?"Dilon asked. Naan just turned around to see everyone else had already left. The child just nodded in response.
"Mont's power only really attributes to Physical health, but he said earlier that you didn't need a power to tell that she's going through some things right now- Either she didn't tell him what or he didn't feel like telling me."Dilon said. "It's best just to let people figure things out for themselves if they're capable. and Believe me- the Omnipotent of Willpower. Child, you can bet she's capable!"His rather serious tone turned jovial in a second as he boomed out a great laugh that dissapiated into awkwardness within seconds. "...Well, I'll be seeing you,Child."Dilon said quickly, as he turned and went off to do something on his own. Leaving Naan standing in front of the Ice Castle.
The Sky was a lot foggier than it was when the meeting began, but Naan just attributed it to the snowfall.
She sneezed, something uncommon despite the cold climate, and then- despite Dilon's claims, Went to follow Ponek- she was concerned about her.
Ponek walked on down the destroyed part of the village- the part they were never able to properly fix. The Pink haze left by her eyes when she was in her determined mode made it easily to trail her. Naan Held her Shoulders and shivered a bit more, as the snowfall - as predicted- became a little bit thicker.
Naan followed the Teenage Omnipotent right out of the village, where- a Cloaked figure was sitting, their chin resting on their hand. She stopped at hearing distance, the Cloaked figure stood when Ponek walked to her, the weather was getting slightly foggy for some reason- but it was clear enough that she could see the two and hear them talking.
"So, Have you, Found them yet?"Ponek asked- her voice sounding, rather low, oddly- nothing like it usually did. The Cloaked figure shook their head in response. "...Really?"She asked again.
The Cloaked figure just put their hand on Ponek's shoulder, "Listen, Peko. It's alright."They said. They're voice sounding flat out distorted, a Ringing noise drilled it's way through Naan's Ears and she nearly fell out of suprise.
"What... No it isn't. Listen, I, I know he's dead. But- I still want to find where they buried my father."
"I know, and, Even though I haven't. I think i found something else."
"....If it's not his grave, then i don't care." Ponek(?) said. She thought it was ponek.
"I found Nikolai. The Omnipotent of Wishes, and there's something i think we both want him to do..."
Naan didn't loose consciousness, but whatever was overcoming her manage to make her fall into the snow, Nobody was near her or anything- she just felt really, really, sick.
It seemed the two noticed her when she collapsed, As they both ran over to her. Ponek picked her up, she looked really concerned, She yelled at the cloaked figure about something and, in a hurry- they both ran off.
away from the village.
-----
"Wow, it's getting really foggy all of a sudden."Mont commented, looking out of his window.
"Indeed it is, but that's not what we're discussing now, is it?"Dilon asked, The Bigger man sitting on the Health Omnipotent's bed.
His House was not very well maintained. Numerous selections of undies and other garments lay scattered across the floor without much care and a couple of files with names such as 'spartan' 'guardians curse' and 'classified; do not read' littered throughout.
Mont picked up a visor off a chair and placed it on a nearby desk as he went to sit down. "No, I guess it isn't."He said.
"So, There has to be a reason you called me here."Dilon said.
"Y-Yes, there is. It's... There is a way a disease or pathogen could find it's way past any of my defences."Mont said.
"But- you did that procedure for every disease under the sky, haven't you?"Dilon said.
"I did, But- From That competition Noel mentioned, There's something pretty obvious I feel i overlooked, The possibility of a different dimension, having different diseases in it."
"So, you're saying the thing that has Naan all shivery isn't anything he deliberately did to her?"Dilon asked.
"It might be, it might not- But if it is a sickness; It'd mean that Inun guy came from a different dimension, And, that gives me a few theories about this Pillar he mentioned..."
"Feel free to Elaborate."Dilon said.
"Something i heard about Multiple worlds when i first was given my powers- way before we met- mind you. Was that each world had a 'point' that connected it to this place, A Collection of events of Importance to the Karmic flow of the world- with parts in each world that allow them access to these paradoxical facts. Although i wouldn't know what it's called."
"I don't believe i've heard of it before."Dilon said.
"You'd really only hear of it if you were in the presence of, or a, guardian. I was the former, obviously."Mont said, maybe trying to form a joke. "But either way, at the same time. there's a point that is world exclusive- like a antibody. If something were to happen there, it would likely effect the rest of the world. I personally believe this is the reason half of the globe froze over while the rest became a apocalyptic wasteland."Mont elaborated.
"So, Do you think this pillar is either of those points?"Dilan asked.
"A Point of Enlightenment or a Point of Effect, i like to call them- I haven't seen any myself, and I doubt i'm qualified enough to properly explain either more. But it's possible that in our world, one of them takes the form of a pillar. If that is the case; then it's pretty likely it's what this possible dimension or planet traveler wants."Mont said.
"...I see."Dilon said. "Thank you for telling me this Mont, But. Why didn't you tell me this at the meeting?"
Hesitation, Sweat dropped down Mont's nervous face. He pulled his glasses back and rubbed at a eyelid. "...I, I just didn't think of it when that was happening. that's all."

THE FROZEN PLANET, PART 4
Naan, very weakly, managed to open her eyes- their was a god-awful ringing noise in her ears and what felt like a wet towel on her forehead, Her vision was too blurry for her to properly make things out- but she was strong enough to sit herself up on the bed- her eyes turned to look out of the window and she could see several blurry shapes, some resembling trees, a few dots of grey were slapped onto the white ground she could see outside.
Her head turned at the sound of footprints, and Ponek was there- She assumed so anyway, all she could see were blobs of colour and the voice called out to her was distorted to a point where she couldn't even make out what it was saying.

Ponek saw a sweating, crying, almost dead looking Naan sitting on the bed, looking nothing short of confused.
"Naan, You need to lie down!"She called out to the ill child, rushing over and trying to push her back down as gently as possible, the girl didn't seem to notice- likely being too weak to stay up for any longer anyway, Ponek pulled a blanket up to the girl's Head- her fur cap lying on a nightstand next to the bed- She readjusted the hot towel, and then walked down the stairs; hoping Naan would just fall asleep as it was.
As Ponek walked down the stairs, she started to cry; the health omnipotent himself couldn't help Naan- as the disease itself bypassed his defenses already somehow- or whatever it was. Nothing was going how she wanted it to since she could remember. Now they were going to loose a child because-
KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK
Ponek froze on the way downstairs.
"...Who's that?"The Cloaked one asked. Ponek thought she recognized her voice from somewhere- and given previous interactions she had a feeling she knew who they were- but they had the same base goal in mind, and apparantly also the same questions.
Ponek walked down the stairs to see Inun standing on the other side of the door, his appearance blurred slightly by the dust on the window. The Cloaked figure was standing near the backyard exit of the building they were in.
Ponek sighed, walking over to the cloaked one, a music box- sounding close to falling apart- was playing- but ponek didn't see it. "You know you're going to need to talk to him."She said.
"Why's that?"The Cloaked figure asked.
"His Dna is the reason Naan got sick. You're already covered enough to talk to one of them anyway- and i don't want to catch whatever's causing her to loose literally everything."Ponek said- rather systematically.
The Cloaked figure just nodded in response- walking over to the door and opening it- Ponek walked outside as the two started to converse.
There was a row of gravestones adorning the backyard, other than the remains of a fence- which stuck out rather oddly in front of the woods, there was little else in the area.
It was oddly foggy in the area, Ponek could see clearly through it, she started to emit pink haze- and managed to see through it with ease- she had a place to go by herself- these guys could work out the details later.
---
"It's, getting dark out. You should probably go home now."Nikolai said- peering through the door of his house on the snowing mountain.
"But, that person might come back."Sanar said- sitting on a rather comfortable looking pillow.
"I can handle myself just fine, If they try anything- I'll just wish myself away to another location."Nikolai smiled.
"Okay, if what they said is correct. Nikolai should be up here."
Sanar's eyes widened and she nearly fell of the pillow. "N-Nikolai, Someone's coming!"
"I guess whoever that was spread word of my location. Shame."Nikolai said.
"It's probably nothing to worry about. This kid worries too much." He thought, Sanar heard the thoughts and instantly turned red with annoyance.
"I do not worry too much! This snowstorm literally Came from me wishing that noone can find you, So how is it someone found you?"Sanar asked.
"It was a bracelet wish- I guess i misplaced it at some point."Nikolai shrugged.
Sanar felt like he was robbing her of any validation in her worries. But she didn't have a chance to escalate the sitatuion as somebody knocked on the door.
"It's Ponek. Can I come in?"Ponek asked- her voice muffled
There was silence- Sanar listened intently to Ponek's thoughts.
"I'm ready to bust this stupid door down and get him back to the orphanage so we can all just get this horrid story behind us.
It'll be alright, i know it will."
"Don't open it."Sanar thought to Nikolai, Nikolai just shook his head. Choosing to stay still.
"Why isn't he opening?, ugh, no Matter"
There was a brief glimmer of pink and the door got shattered to pieces, taking a fraction of the wall with it, Ponek's fist smashed through it and she nearly lost her footing after blowing it up, The Snowstorm seemed to stop temporarily from sheer force, the ground under her feet suddenly sloppy- with dead crumpled dandelions under it- the pink haze emanating from her eyes serving as the only light with the sun blocked out.
"HOLY SHIT!"Nikolai yelled out of suprise- Sanar was too shocked by this random and almost hilarious feat of strength that she found herself incapable of moving a muscle for a few seconds.
"Now that that's over, Nikolai. Come with me."Ponek said- very little emotion in her voice. Sanar was tempted to run in between the two. but from how bright the pink haze was shining and the fact she stopped a snowstorm by punching a door a couple of seconds ago told her it was probably a bad idea.
"Um, Ponek. are you o-"Nikolai started.
"There's not enough time."Ponek said, grabbing him by the sleeve and running off down the cliff with him in tow- this speed and strength was likely attributed by her will power. Sanar was left in the remains of the wish-granted house- which had started to give off a transclusent hue around the area's that were destroyed.
After snapping out of her confusion, she made way to run after them- but was significantly slower.
----
"So, This is what you want that place for?"
"Yep, I'm sure you'll think this is a great way to get our goal."
"I suppose so, if what your associate did to me is done to someone there, it might have that same effect on everyone."
"Not likely- what we're going to do is do it on the pillar itself."
"You sure you can do it?"
"I might not be able to, but i could always send for someone to join me. Makes sense, right?"
"Whether it does or doesn't. May i ask that you not come back once your done. I'm only still safe because of all this, and that child- she might die."
"I'm sure there's a way around this."
"...Sure, let's go with that, why don't we?"
----
Sanar, Naan and Ponek were now missing, alongside the runaway Nikolai. A Few hours had passed and Dilon had since held a village meeting addressing the events of the day and what they'd uncovered. He said he, Mont and a few of the villagers would begin a trek to find the pillar that this alien likely intended to change their world with, first thing tomorrow.
Gaston, ever the town hero, was among the first to volunteer. and Ponek's teenage friend Sandra offered her services as well- and was pretty peaved when Dilon told her he needed her to stay for when Ponek came back.
Right now, the Teenage Girl was moping about on the stairs to Noel's Ice Castle. A Couple of Brooms were sweeping at the air in a attempt to swat away the fog. Sandra just looked to Nonias- who was standing near the Castle entrance.
"You know fog doesn't work that way, right?"Sandra asked.
"Well, true. But they might as well do something."Nonias said- deciding to take a seat next to the blackhaired girl.
"...Sanar just went off to play with Nikolai- wherever they are, no doubt."Sandra said.
"I figured that was a given."Nonias said. "But... oh, you're concerned about Ponek aren't you?"
"Of course i am. She's, always brushed things off before. But her past, she just started to worry about it over the past months, I just, i hope she didn't do anything rash."
"What was her past like anyway? For some reason, she never told anyone when you arrived here."Nonias said.
"I'm not suprised. Considering how people reacted to her back then."Sandra sighed.
"What, because she's a omnipotent?"Nonias asked.
"No, I don't think she even knew what you guys were then."Sandra grumbled, looking annoyed. "It doesn't matter anyway. She'll come back once she figured it out. She just finally decided to learn what happened to them."
"What happened to who?"Nonias asked. "And, why would this eat her up anyway?"
"...I'm not sure, if i'm the one to tell you about that."Sandra said.
"...Does this have anything to do with the world before this era?"Nonias asked.
"...Yeah, I... I guess you could say that"Sandra said.
"..Can you please, elaborate, for me. It'll be a secret between us girls."Nonias smiled, grabbing Sandra's shoulders.
"...Fuck you, I'm not sharing my Best friends secrets with some lady just because she asked."Sandra grimaced, standing up- grabbing Nonias's hands and pulling them off her, and then storming off in a fit of anger.
Noel walked out of the ice castle. "Jeez, what was that about?" He asked.
"...It was, nothing."Nonias said, smiling. "I think Ponek's doing what's right for her."
"But we still have Naan to worry about, The Kid was sick."Noel said. "Somehow."
"Yeah, That's why we're going to go look for her."Nonias smiled.
"...Really?"Noel asked, his lover just nodded. "Well, we should go now then, shouldn't we?"He asked.
"Um, now?"Nonias asked.
"You can clear it up with the Old Man, right?"Noel winked, beginning to walk off. "A Little girl's safety is a little bit more important than some, pillar thing, right?"
"Why do you keep shrugging that off though."Nonias asked, plainly.
Noel nearly froze in place. "...Because it's clearly nothing that important."
"Even with everything Mont explained, is there, something you know about it?"Nonias asked.
Noel adjusted his scarf slightly, pulling it further up his face. "It's just... Memories..Not very pleasant ones."He muttered. "That's all."
"...But, don't we need to know this?"Nonias asked. "If we're going to stop Inun from whatever he plans on doing."
"It's already been done. This whole, effect the whole world from one point thing."Noel said.
Nonias picked up what Noel was putting down, she didn't gasp or make any reaction to his sentence, she just walked over and put a hand on his shoulder.
"It's not even a pillar."Noel said. "It's just a giant damn icicle sticking out of a building, if i had to guess, why else would the entire world freeze over?"

THE FROZEN PLANET, PART 5
Nonias took what Noel was implying pretty simply; The Ice Omnipotent was saying he was somehow responsible for freezing the world through the use of this effect pillar- and that the pillar itself was just a giant icicle.
"It's entirely possible that only happened because you're a omnipotent, you know."Nonias said, despite this possibly being a huge lead.
"Still, The World is still frozen after all these years, That should mean something."Noel said. "But seriously, Let's talk about something a bit better like, I unno- Those brooms you have, flailing about in the air for some reason."
Nonias just put her hands on her hips, not looking very impressed. "Whatever, If you think that place is the place Inun might want to go, I might as well tell Dilon about it. Don't worry though, I won't mention anything about you."
Noel turned around to look at her, Nonias was already on her way to Dilon.
~A Long time Ago~
A Young Child with Short Maroon hair opened his eyes, confused- his arms still held out in front of them, and a giant beam of ice levitating in place in front of them, He backed away and looked at it, seeing it pierced the ceiling of the cold grey, steel plated building he was in.
There was a mass of Helicopters and What looked to be confused and frightened men and women in buisness suits and army uniforms, All Frozen completely solid- the floor around them was also blanketed completly in a single layer of ice- numerous crystals sprouting from the ground behind the youth,.
The young Child watched a snowflake materalize in the air and fall to the ground, as he ran to find the exit- he burst through the door with suprising ease, and looked around to find the entire empty plain in front of him, encased in ice- with snow falling from the sky as fast as possible.
~The Present~
The Snowstorm around the mountain had yet to restart itself, Instead- there seemed to be a thick layer of fog covering the general area. Sanar's internal radar was good enough for this to effectively make no difference to her.
She'd been trailing Ponek's thoughts for a couple of minutes and the girl had made it quite a ways away- she lost track of her about haflway through the woods, And physically, Sanar was only about halfway through the plains.
She needed to hurry after her, "But," she thought to herself as she stopped in place. "There's no way i'd be able to catch up to her..
I'd better tell the others." She thought, as she closed her eyes and focused- she managed to pinpoint Noel, Nonias, and Dilon's brains, shortly followed by Mont- She didn't want to send her message to Ponek or Nikolai and...
For some reason Naan was even further off than Ponek was?
Sanar stopped herself from being distracted and sent the message
"Ponek Grabbed Nikolai and is running off with him! They're going through the woods, up north!"
"Wait, What?" That was Dilon
"Rea-Really? Do you know where Naan is then?" That was Nonias.
"No, I can feel her thoughts- but they're too far away to properly pinpoint."
"I see. So, Where are you right now?" Admist the clatter of confused or irrelevant thoughts from the other omnis, Nonias suprisingly kept a calm head.
"I think, I can see the Frozen castle from here, But- I'm really far from it- there's some woods a equal- maybe longer, distance away on the other side. I'm not good with words sorry"
"Huh, That's a bit away. I'll need to get another group to look into this as well." Dilon pondered
"I'm going to try going after them"
"Sanar, wait!" Nonias suddenly thought, Sanar could hear Noel's 'alright then'
"I'll send a thought to you when i get somewhere more notable." Sanar thought, stopping the waves and disconnecting everyone as she went to run off.
She could still tell where Ponek's thoughts were coming from, a third and fourth seemed to join them at the unknown point.
---
Naan opened her eyes again, she was feeling even worse and couldn't concentrate on anything from the pain in her head, her eyes closed within seconds
---
Nikolai was out cold, Whether Ponek was running so fast he couldn't keep his consciousness or she knocked him out was unclear; even she didn't seem aware of the reason.
Sitting on a coach- the only non-dusty thing in the room, she looked at the building with a nostalgic expression, trying to ignore the rather ominous looking stains near the staircase and front door that were, too old to be properly identified.
Inun was standing outside the house.and the Cloaked figure was near the door.
"So, why can't i Come in again?"Inun asked.
"Because unlike her, we're not all covered up and after what happened to Naan I'd rather not Get whatever crud you've got crawling all over you."Ponek said.
"I still don't see how someone can get ill from just being near me."Inun said. "Especially as ill as your saying she is. I get it, it's just your way of saying i'm a toxic person, isn't it?"
"It's not from here, is it?"Ponek asked. "So it's probably got stuff we can't handle"Ponek explained. "Honestly i'm more suprised that you haven't gotten sick from something here."
"I guess your microbes suck, honey."Inun laughed.
"Can we please get to the point. Nikolai's here now, right?"The cloaked one asked. "So, What are all of you going to wish for?"
"I'm going to wish to find out where my dad's buried. Obviously."Ponek said. "If i get more than one; then i'll wish for Naan to be cured."
"I'm going to what to find the heart of the world."Inun said.
"...And then do, whatever they did to me?"Ponek asked.
Inun shrugged, moving his hands rapidly in a attempt to say 'yeah maybe', and then scratched his neck, before turning to the cloaked figure.
"So, as to you, what are you going to wish for?"
"Well, I'm going to try to erase something from history. Really."The cloaked figure said. "A Bit hopeful, but, should be possible."
"Once I get there, all you'll need to do is just wait and this world will be saved."Inun smiled "Dontcha worry a bit."
"But right now, we need to wait for him to wake up."The cloaked one said, anger present in her voice.
----
"I See, Thank you for telling me."Dilon said, Looking at a report someone threw together about who is coming on the trip and what supplies they'd have; with a sidenote saying that with naan missing some would split off to rendevous with Sanar when the child messages them. People were significantly busier as a result; but the fog made it slightly hard to see from a distance.
"But, It might just be because he's a omnipotent."Nonias said.
"I suppose so, but Abandoned Government Building with a Giant Spike made out of ice is more description than 'Pillar', So, Hey, I'd say it's worth checking out."Dilon commented, Nonias just nodded as Gaston walked up to the two.
"We're ready to head out whenever you want."He said. "Took a bit to find sufficient weapons in case we run into that alien again, but we got there."
"I see, Since Naan's life is in danger, Mont and a few of your lot will split off once Sanar messages us, And we should be leaving right now."Dilon said.
"Sounds good to me, Omnipotent."Gaston said, Commenting something about how glad he was one of these guys was finally making a effort to keep people safe under his breath, the two heard but ultimately ignored it.
"So, I'll be leaving you and Noel to look after the Village in my absence, I trust you can handle that."Dilon said.
"Shouldn't be too hard."Nonias smiled, Dilon just winked at her (to her confusion) and proceeded to call out to the rest that they were moving out, a little under a third of the village made their exit, Mont Holding a rather large back as he struggled to put it on and hurry after them.
"What's in the bag, Omni?"Gaston could be heard asking as Nonias watched them leave- Noel walked out of a wall in the Ice Castle.
"Oh, it's just. Notes, and things."Mont said, his voice getting quieter as he couldn't be seen any more through the fog.
---
Sanar kept running through the woods, she couldn't stop any time soon, Ponek, Nikolai and Naan were still so far away from where she was but they might get even further away if she stopped any time soon.
Her Telltale Pink Haze had long since faded out, and Sanar was close to running out of breath- But she wasn't anywhere easily recognizable. All of these tree's would look the same to anyone who was trying to find anything.
Her Limbs started to ache and she found herself with no choice but to stop and regain her breath.
She Collapsed at the Side of a Tree and spent a few minutes trying to hone in on any nearby thoughts.
Ponek, and four others- one being a Naan who appeared to be having night terrors, another trying to tell themselves not to break down. and then a thought from someone she never seemed to have heard before.
She honed in on that one
"Y'know, the Whole Virus thing was just a Accident but, These guys all care about that girl- It could be a way of keeping Nikolai, the Wish Omnipotent under control until we actually fix this damn world."
Fix?
Sanar could tell a malicious thought when she heard one- and for some reason that, fit the bill- which was kind of strange to her, as nothing felt odd about fixing something.
She Sighed, She could stand up and continue running- but she felt it'd be best to Transfer this thought to Dilon- since he could actually do somethign about it.
----
Dilon and the Others had been hiking for a couple of minutes, Gaston standing at the back to protect the behind, They had yet to hear from Sanar and right now Mont was leading them to the nearest government base- Thinking they should check all the ones they can that are nearby before beginning any real treks, people agreed for the most part.
Out of nowhere, someone else's thoughts tackled his brain. The second he processed them and who they likely belonged to, his expression turned furious.
"What the Hell does he mean by that!?"He yelled out of response, startling the people traveling with him. When he realized his mistake, he thought it instead; hoping Sanar would pick up.
---
"What the Hell does he mean by that?" The Thought reached her after a bit of input lag due to the large distances between them.
While trying to recuperate her body, she send one final thought out before she found herself resisting the urge to completely zone out of reality.
"I don't know, sounded malicious. He's probably with Ponek and, whoever that cloaked person was.I'll, Contact you later..."
----
This was the first Dilon ever heard of a Cloaked person, He nearly stopped in his tracks but he understood, Sanar was doing her own reconnaisance before he and the rest came in. The channel was cut off anyway, so he couldn't intiate contact with her even if he wanted to.
"So, What did Sanar ask you about?"One of the villagers, this one looking yong
"Nothing, she just hijacked one of Inun's thoughts. The Blighter is using Naan as a bargaining chip so he can have Nikolai's wish granted. "Dilon explained, as Mont Continued to lead the way,
Hours passed, and Eventually...
"We're here."Mont said. "First Government Office, it was a Base originally used by the Resistance back when, well, They had a reason to exist- It got overtaken and used as a well, a place, because, well, We didn't have anything near this area until then."
A Blue Lizard walked past them, A Couple of villagers seemed confused by it, but most shrugged it off.
"That, animals's staring at me."Gaston whispered.
"It's just a lizard- They're sentient enough to have villages, but not enough for actual communication." Mont said. The Lizard's eyes furrowed and it stormed off.
"Sentient enough to understand what i said apparantly."He whispered, before preparing to yell as he shouted out "I'm Sorry, Lizard!"
"This isn't the Place."Dilon sighed.
Mont and the rest looked up, while the Building looked rather abandoned by human standards- there was no giant ice spear impaling it, Judging by all of the vines in it, this place was likely claimed by wildlife.
"...Onto the next one,"Mont said. "There was one of these places per sector; some of more importance than others- like, well, The Capital's. But that side of the country got decimated so, i guess we can rule that place out."
"...I guess we could."Dilon shrugged. "So, Um, If this Frozen stuff came from that point of effect? Then, Is there a government base in the middle of the frozen area?"
"There should be."Mont said, checking the map. "Yep, there is."
"I see, Let's check that place out. If it started there, then it should've spread, correct?"One villager asked.
"Yes, your right, Marge. Let's get going." Dilon said.
"It's a bit far from here though."Mont said.
"Well, He has Gravity powers."One of the Villagers said, "Can't he like, make that place the center of this planet's magnetism for a while? we'll get drawn right to it."
"As will a large supply of plantlife, fauna and living residents."Mont said. "If anyone here has super speed, or a Working Car; we'll be glad to go for it, But...Actually, hold that thought."
The Health Omnipotent charged into the government base, Curious- the rest followed, There were vehicles in plain sight, a Few Lizards had made their homes here and looked very confused by the sudden influx of visitors; a group of which came to welcome them while Mont ran off to look through them; notably, he hopped into a airplane that looked to have been decomissioned.
Once Inside, Mont tried the most obvious and useful tip when turning a device on, pressing the on button.
To his relief, it did in fact, turn on- Although with quite a bit of reboot lag and a whirring noise that served to annoy him.
"Yes! This Thing Isn't powered by Electricity!"Mont Cheered in Ecstasy, as he dashed out of the Cockpit and Yelled out to the rest of his crew.
"This Thing Works!"He cheered.
Dilon just nodded in pride. "That's good, Now, Can you lend that gear of yours to me?"He asked.
There was silence amongst everyone inside; a few lizards chattered to each other; likely wandering what these people were talking about.
"Um, What?"Mont asked. "T-This is Kind of mine, so."
"We'll need you when Sanar signals us to pick up Naan, Won't we?"Dilon asked. "As the Omnipotent of Health. It's best to have you near the Sick one."
Mont nodded nervously "Well, yeah, But-"
"And This Centre Base, From what i saw, Is too Far away for you to get to within minutes. It's best you stay here- Margeret, Tony, Fennech, and Edward- as well as the Weaselton's. The Rest are coming with me."Dilon said.
There was no disagreement to that, vocal at least. A Couple of villagers took the bag from Mont's hands and He hesitantly gave Dilon the Map himself, they got into the place, and took off through the window- breaking a giant hole into the base in the process.
Mont just stared. "...Shit."He muttered.

THE FROZEN PLANET, PART 6
Inun stood outside the bedroom that Naan had been placed in to rest, the two ladies had wanted some privacy, and it didn't really matter to him what life those two had in private, Once he had done what he needed to, he was planning on leaving anyway.
He just had to hope none of them decided to wish that girl back to full health before he got everything he could out of the wish omnipotent.
There was a ringing in his fleece pocket, and without hesitation he answered it.
"Yello?"He asked; Holding a phone up to his ear
"Inun, Are you there?" A Voice on the other end asked; feminine, kinda haughty.
"Chill, Babe. I'm Listening. What is it?"Inun asked, "it better be something important."
"I'm just checking up to see how it's coming along, and don't call me babe.Toadstool."The voice replied, not sounding as annoyed as her words implied.
"I have this wish omnipotent here; he'll be both my saving grace and probably the biggest threat; i gave a child a case of the Frigus Facium- Even worse than the one that lady i first met here got."
"It might be best if we just abandon this place then."
"Well yeah, but then this place will remain as it is, it needs to evolve the same way, doesn't it? And i'm sure the method we've uncovered will be effective."
"No harm in trying; but what does it have to do with this wish omnipotent?"
"He's the way we'll get to that pillar, obviously. Once i get there; i'll signal you guys with the co-ordinates and you can do your thing."Inun grinned, as he heard footsteps around the corner, sensing someone watching him; he turned to see Ponek was standing at the top of the stairs, holding what looked like a container of aspirin.
"...I'll call you when i get there."Inun said.
"Roger."
He hung up, pocketing the phone in his fleece.
"What was that?"Ponek asked.
"Oh, this, just a piece of alien software; a phone."
"I know what a phone is. I was asking what you were talking about."Ponek corrected.
"Plans, It doesn't matter to you, does it?"Inun asked.
"Not really, i suppose. Once i get what i want i'm out of your hair, after all."Ponek said- walking past him.
"H-Hey, wait, what are you doing?"Inun asked, rushing in front of the door to Naan as Ponek tried to open it.
"Trying to get Her some Meds, Relieve the symptoms."Ponek said. "Duh."
"That, stuff probably won't help."Inun said. "Alien Disease; Your Medicine won't relieve anything, you know?"Inun said. Ponek could tell there was something shady about that- she was intelligent enough to know he wanted her to stay sick for a little bit longer.,
"Why do you not want me, to give her any medicine, even symptom allieviating ones?"Ponek asked.
"...Ugh, I'll level with you here; We need to keep Nikolai under control, the Wish for Naan to get better shall be the last wish on the list; or else he might decide not to grant any of our current ones."Inun said. "This makes sense?"
"...It makes sense for you."Ponek said. "He'll grant mine if i ask him to."
"He ran away, remember? the Coward will need some coercion."
Ponek had no argument for that, so she just sighed and put the medicine down near the door; and walked back downstairs.Inun breathed a sigh of relief in a attempt to be comical in case someone else was watching. ----
Nikolai's Eyes eventually opened, The First thing he saw was a cloaked person- fiddling with one of his beads,They coughed Slightly- a female voice, Holding one of his Bracelets, or a fragment of one of them anyway.
She didn't seem to have noticed he woke up, Hoping Sanar would pick up on him, He started to think, he had no idea how to project a thought for her to pick up and wasn't sure if there was a limited distance for her to pick thoughts up with,
"Sanar, you There?" He thought, hoping to get a response, "Sanar? I woke up, Where are you? Where's Ponek? What's going on?"
He tried to repeat the thought a few times and, eventually- a response
"Nikolai, Your Awake. Hold on, i need to get The rest of The Omnipotents on air- Ugh, O-Okay, Done"
"N-Nikolai? Sanar said your awake now" That was Mont "Do you have any idea where you are? Is Naan anywhere near you?"
"I, appear to be in a really dusty house. Looks Suprisingly stable."
"Not inside the Village?" Mont asked
"Not Insive the Village."
"Is there anyone nearby?" Nonias asked. "Sanar told us Ponek ran off with you earlier"
"...I, don't think i see her, these guy still think i'm out cold- and i'd rather not give myself away by going to look, y'know?"
"Ah, Okay, is anyone there at all?" Nonias again.
"Some cloaked person, think it's a lady, she has a shard of one of my bracelets for some reason" Nikolai explained.
"This is all very interesting, but i'm trying to drive a plane right now. Sanar, do you mind turning this conversation down a notch- and, if you could tell us where you are?" That was Dilon-clearly
"I'm, in woods- They're not that far away but- There's not enough thoughts for them to be in a town or anything;"
"The only places near where we are is a village riddled with those lizards and our village. So it can't be one if they're nearby."Dilon said.
"...There is one house that's within the radius of a group of trees that isn't directly linked to any other villages."Mont said. "Well, more accurately; a orphanage, As far as i can tell though, There haven't been any orphans there for like, 20 years, maybe more."
"..Isn't that the place the Grant incident started in?"Noel asked.
"Of all places for Ponek to take me, it had to be this place."Nikolai thought to himself, in irony. He accidentally let a smile out; his amusement escaping to show itself on his face, and it caught the cloaked figure's attention.
"...Oh, He's awake."The cloaked one said, standing up and turning away from him.
Feeling like he wouldn't be around for long, he reached into his pocket to pull a bracelet out so he could have one spare for Sanar when she gets their- as he figured he wouldn't be around long- only to find that there wasn't any in his pockets anymore.
When the Cloaked one turned back to Him, Ponek was running down the stairs and as far down towards the front door as possible- coughing slightly, while Inun was walking down without much rush.
From Nikolai's perspective, this white fleece wearing man who was slightly headache inducing upon sight was a complete stranger, And the Cloaked figure; although he had a selection of people small enough for him to probably accurately guess who she was; was still a mystery to him. He figured he was holding the short end of the straw here, but he sat himself up and went straight to inquiring.
"Ponek, who are these people?"Nikolai asked, turning to look straight at the strangely passive-faced Will Omnipotent, She just nodded.
"...The cloaked one, didn't want me to tell you. But Inun, I met him recently, and-"Ponek said.
"All 3 of Us have wishes to ask of you, Wish Omnipotent."Inun said. "And, considering you wished yourself out of everyone's eyes, I'd say we put in a lot of work to get you here to grant them."
"...Why didn't you just as-"
"Because you fucking wished yourself off the Map, We kinda needed to Bring you out of your wish-mountain and somewhere else."Inun said. "Takes the Willpower of a god to Break one of those wishes of yours, let me tell you."
"So, To the Actual wishes-"Ponek started.
"And what makes you think i'll grant them?"Nikolai asked.
"...Have you heard about Naan, she's very ill. For some reason or another, and- we already dumped those bracelets you had on you elsewhere."Inun said.
"We would've used your Bracelet, But The wish undoes itself if you lose it; a wish from you yourself, however, doesn't."The Cloaked one said.
Nikolai cursed; she somehow answered his question before he even asked- he was more concerned abotu Naan though,
"She might die."Inun said. "So, We've got 4 wishes we wish to ask of you, once you grant them all. I'm sure she'll be fit as a fiddle in no time?"
"And if i don't grant any?"Nikolai asked, Inun just turned to him and Nikolai felt like something was stuck in his throat.
Inun pulled a gun out of his fleece. "I could always just put her down, Old yeller style."He said, The Cloaked one jolted herself upright immediatly, He just put it back "Chill Lady, Sheesh, it won't come to that, Now. First Wish.
I wish for everyone in this orphanage, to be teleported straight to the Center of this World; the Pillar that holds this planets Entire fate inside it."
Nikolai; although he had no idea what that was; did have enough capability to grant this request, the Area began to glow.
"Sanar; when you get to the Orphanage, Look around and find a Bracelet, Wish for the rest of the Omnipotents, to be teleported to the general area i'm at."Nikolai thought,
Sanar picked up the thought; she never closed the channel.
Nikolai, Inun, The Cloaked one and Ponek... Even Naan- in the bedroom upstairs, all faded in a Cyan Glow- it overtook the entire building, becoming visible from Afar as Sanar got herself back up and ready to run towards where Nikolai was milliseconds ago.
When the glow faded; they were gone.
Sanar ran as fast as she could- the Fog was growing increasingly thick in the minutes it took, so that in the half hour later when Sanar arrived at the Orphanage, she could hardly make it out until she was right in front of it. She headed inside, and closed the door behind her, The Quiet sound of a Music box- sounding so ancient it should've stopped ages ago- filled the room as she glanced around.
"They're already gone, But I'm at the Orphanage, you might not get here though- the Fogs too thick." Sanar sent out.
----
"Well Shit."Dilon said out loud- Judging by the scenery and how nearly everyone was outside of hte plane now- they appear to have landed offscreen, "They beat us to it."
"Well, Fuck. We better get going then, must'nt we?"Gaston asked.
"...And, Shit- They must've took Naan with them!"Dilon yelled "For Fuck Sake, We need to get after them as soon as Possible!"He yelled, running off ahead- holding the map in his hands and making sure he knew where he was going.
He could see it in the distance, the foggy siluhuette of a Building with a Giant Icicle piercing through it, A Few Abandoned and Empty Houses were visible nearby, FireApple Tree's Growing in generally unorthodox Places and The Snow Under his feet slowly getting heavier and heavier as he approached it; the rest of his squad trailing shortly behind him.
"Whoa."Marge said in disbelief as they got close enough to see through the fog, the Icicle piercing through the Building had also started to encase it's roof somewhat, beautiful looking crystals were growing around it, A Single open door- hardly hanging on, was the only way in.
Dilon walked in, to see The Floor coated in a Icy Covering, His gravity powers prevented him or any of the others from slipping as they looked around.
It was all one giant room, Helicopters and Corpses were encased in ice- effectively preserved.
"...These must've been some of the head honchos."Gaston commented as he looked around- the Atmosphere in this room was oddly oppressive,
Dilon and a few others looked towards the Giant Icicle- floating in midair a couple of feet away from the ground, a few small crystals growing around it.
"...It's floating."Dilon said.
"...Wait, There not here."Gaston said. "Those people, None of them are here!"
Dilon looked confused at first. "But- Nikolai's wishes always work."
He gulped inwardly the second he said that, he looked at the icicle- it wasn't a pillar, it was clearly a icicle.
"...We got the wrong place."
----
A Building on a Island, The Sea had frozen over and only small fragments of lakes were visible. Unlike everywhere else so far, this place had clear skies, with only the occasional snowflake every 2 hours.
The Entire Building looked as though it had a palace forcibly shoved into it, as the Top half of a Ruined Palace appeared to be sticking out of it, with a empty cavern replacing the pearly gates.
The Only Part of this Island that didn't look abandoned was the golden, gleaming Spire at the top of it.
Inun Laughed Triumphantly as he stared at it. "Oh my God, Yes!"He Cheered, before turning to the others. "I'll be right with you, feel free to make your wishes."He said, "Just- Don't let them stop me, You know what i'm doing and how great it'll make everything, right?"
"...Without your Groups, technique. I wouldn't have the will to even be here."The Cloaked one said.
Ponek just nodded.
Inun flashed them thumbs ups and went into the cavern, Nikolai turned, to see Naan Sleeping restlessly- as she was upstairs, she was warped a little higher up, on a small segment of cliff. The rest of them were right in front of the entrance. A Set of Stairs behind them, leading to a Plateau that contained some of the few fragments of water not yet frozen over.
Ponek Just turned to Nikolai. "Is it alright if I make my wish now?"She asked. The Cloaked one just nodded, she then went to Nikolai
"Alright, Coward, Let's see... I want to know, where my Father was buried."She said.
Nikolai didn't respond at first, looking too annoyed at her to say anything- but he started to glow and so did her cranium, when the glowing ceased. she didn't look any happier.
"...I see,he never got buried at all."Ponek sighed. She sat down, looking mildly dissapointed. Nikolai expected a bit more emotion; she should've felt more depressed or maybe even angrier upon hearing that news.
She was just sitting on a rock with a expression that belonged to someone who lost a card game, not someone who learned their father was never even buried.
---
Sanar was holding a Bracelet, Someone had stuffed it in a underwear drawer in what looked like a adults bedroom- the only room in the house not covered to the brim with dust- she sat down on the bed and saw a picture, a dusty photograph of one adult women and a group of children; they looked really happy together,
There was nothing in the hole in the 2nd floor hallway wall, to her dissapointment- as it seemed the best place to hide something,
The Music Box continued to drone on as Sanar sent a message out declaring she found One of Nikolai's wish bracelets.
Speaking Quietly, she whispered.
"Me, Dilon, Mont, Nonias, Noel. Send us all, To Wherever Nikolai is."She whispered, as The Bracelet began to glow with a pure white hue. She Felt herself lifted up from the bed, Everything vanished and when she emerged.
...She was standing on a Sea of Ice, Dilon, Mont Nonias and Noel scattered around her- all looking confused.
Once they regained there senses, A Sudden Rush of Fog Flooded into the Area- Too Sudden for it to just be weather- but even with all this fog, the Glowing Pillar-Building stuck halfway into a Island Lost in Frozen waters was visible to everyone there.
"...That's where they all are."Dilon said.
"We'll get Naan, and hopefully find out what it is they even want with this place."Nonias said.
They all started to walk towards it.

FROZEN PLANET, PART 7
"So, I had the wrong place after all."Nonias said, not sounding too dissapointed
"Doesn't matter, Nikolai managed to find us a way to get to him."Dilon said. "And hopefully we'll actually get a idea as to what's going on with these people."
Noone else had anything to say, so Nobody bothered to say anything.
----
"I can see someone over there."The Cloaked person said, not moving from her spot, Ponek turned her head to see what she was pointing at. Ponek could see the hazy images of the rest of the omnipotents through the fog. Inun's head peered out of the entrance to the spire-Building
"Huh, what's going on out there?"Inun asked rather loudly.
"The other omnipotents got here somehow. "Nikolai said, sounding a mix of relieved and worried- he didn't want to talk to any of them again after he had run off days after word of what happened got out.
"...What, oh, okay just- hold them off, I don't want them fucking this up for us. I doubt they'd like what we're going to be doing to this place anyway."Inun said, before he noped back into the spire building. Most of the Fog- as though it wasn't fog- went in after him- but a small residual layer remained.
"I'm not that good at fighting."The Cloaked one said. "And, These people will probably view us as evil because of his actions with Naan- We could wish her to feel better now."
"You were going to wish something out of existance anyway, right?"Ponek asked. "You could always just wish for them to agree with us. I could even."
"Mess with there minds? They're their own people. I don't want to brainwash them, Peko."The Cloaked lady said.
"I mean; like what happened to us?"
"That was a cure to depression, It's alright."The cloaked one said. "If Inun gets what he gets done, done, it'll all be alright. won't it?"She asked.
Ponek nodded, but the uncertainty on her face was telling.
"Yo!"Noel's voice called out, the rest of the omni's were now situated on the Plateau, the only thing seperating the two groups being the large staircase between them. "You there Ponek? What the Absolute Fuck!" He called out- his feelings of betrayal masked behind a condescending grin
"...Noel."Ponek said.
Sanar ran in front of Noel, putting at the sleeping form of Naan "Naan's Right There!"She pointed, Mont prepared himself for a sprint
"I'll get to her!"He announced to the group, running up the stairs.
"Ponek suddenly appeared right in front of him.
"Be Patient. Inun's not finished yet."Ponek said.
"Neither is Naan, a-and, I'd like to save her before she is finished. thank you."Mont stuttered, moving to get ponek out of his way but- even though he barely moved centimeters;she kept warping herself in front of him.
"Please, I know you're going to try to stop him."Ponek said.
"All we know is he wants to change something about this world to a similar level as Noel did when this entire place froze over, But seriously- I'm just here for the-"Mont started, a Fist Flew from Ponek's side to his face as she lurched over, Mont got Sent flying back down to the plateau.
"Sorry."She called out. "But-
"YOU FUCKING BITCH!"Noel yelled, icicles sprawling up the stairs and- had Ponek not Jumped away and onto the base of the pillar- surely would've impaled her.
"I-"Ponek started, but another giant icicle grew out of the ground, stopping seconds away from her chest.
"First you Run off with Naan- While she's still sick?Then you grab Nikolai? Now this Shit!? What the Fuck is Wrong with you!"Noel Yelled. as the Icicle charged forward, In that split second, The Pink Haze started to eject itself from Ponek's eyes, The Icicle Shattered into pieces upon touching her at a speed that should've impaled the teenager.
"...You just..."Ponek started, Noel kept sending icicles after icicles after her and they kept shattering upon contact. Mont rubbed his cheek- barely holding onto consciousness while Dilon and Nonias looked him over, everyone else seemed too stuck in their suprise to really act
Ponek Suddenly burst forward, fragments of roof on the building collapsing and being sent flying as She went straight for Noel- Shattering a Icicle that was going straight for her and Grabbing onto his scarf.
"How about you let me explain this? Thanks to Inun's group, I'm no longer plagued by depression over, things that happened."Ponek said. "...He needed to get here as- doing so here, could stop any of us from feeling like this again."
"Then why did no guys need to Kidnap Naan or Nikolai?"Dilon asked.
"Naan was, a mistake. Inun probably thought he could use her as leverage- which I didn't want, and, without Nikolai... We wouldn't be here."The Cloaked Figure said.
"...If what he was doing is for the best, then he'd have discussed it with us. Instead of running away the second i noticed him."Dilon said. "Instead of going behind our back like this."
"...You're going to try and stop him, still."Ponek said.
"..W-We *achoo*, we don't need to fight, you know."The Cloaked one said, But Ponek sent Noel flying and Ran so fast she was invisible for a split second, The Pink Haze emitting from her eyes almost looked like a etheral, neon pair of wings- before Ponek punched Dilon and send him skidding off the plateau.
Noel, in mid-air, Sent another Icicle flying at her, but it shattered upon touching her head, She turned to look at Noel and -Appearing in front of him within a instant- knocked him to the ground with a solid smack to the top of his head- debris and dust flew into the air as he crashed into a field of Cyclamen on a outcropping of one of many mini-cliffs surrounding the building, he tried to move but his shoulder flared up in pain. Ponek jumped back to the ground and looked at Mont, Sanar and Nonias- who were still on the plateau, the latter glaring at her in anger.
Dilon- seeing Ponek busy with someone else while the rest were likely too suprised by her capabilities to actually do anything. Stomped his foot on the ice; from the distance he could see her suddenly fall to the floor, the pink eye-haze looking like a mass of fireflies from the distance.
Seeing a Oppurtunity, Mont pulled a runner, Ponek was focused on trying to defy gravity so she didn't do much when he ran past her and towards the sleeping Naan.
The Second he got to her, he set to work, closing his eyes and focusing on eradicating whatever alien virus was inside her right now.
"...She's just working on impulse. Her Mind's clear."Sanar whispered to Nonias, the Animation Omnipotent nodded and, waving her hand across the air- gave the million ice shards scattered throughout life and sent them after the will omnipotent- she burst out of dilon's gravity at that point and hopped into the air, jumping from shard to shard as Dilon ran up to her and made a grab for her, she appeared on his back and hopped even higher up.
Dilon increased gravity even more, and Ponek crashed into the plateau with such a speed that Nonias barely had time to pull her body over Sanar- the Two still got floored, a explosion of dust and grass flew into the air and the pink haze dissolved into the air. Dilon floated to the plateau with grace unfitting of such a muscular entity-
When the Dust finally settled, Nonias stood up, Allowing Sanar some room to breathe as she lay there- listening in on everyone's thoughts,
"PEKO!"The Cloaked one called out, ready to run down the stairs- but the will Omnipotent stood herself up, her head tilted slightly due to damage from the rough landing, and pink haze being emitted from her right eye, but not her left.
"Are you calmed down now?"Dilon asked.
"I... I wasn't even angry."Ponek said, before she nearly fell and started to cough up, she put her hands on her knees to keep herself balanced.
"...Look, He got rid of your depression, is that what you were saying?"Sanar asked.
Ponek nodded.
"...But, I don't feel much from you."Sanar said. "I think... he took more than just your depression. You'd be all smiles and things if that was the only thing he took."
Ponek, although hesitantly, nodded. the pink haze in her right eye fizzling out so that there was none at all.
"Well, without that depression. i was able to get to Nikolai without any issues and-"
"And what did you get out of it?"Dilon asked.
"...I got to know that my dad wasn't even buried."Ponek said.
"...Why does that even matter to you?"Dilon asked. thinking he could see a tear well up in Ponek's eye as she leaned back and forth,
Her eyes suddenly intensified, She went running at Dilon but- he could tell she wasn't as hyped up about this as she was earlier, there was no pink haze- and in the time spent running to him, she would've kicked him up 5 times if that was the case,
He Sent a Punch in her direction, it made contact with her skin and the Haze Faintly returned, She turned and Kicked him in the face
---
Noel finally managed to stand up properly, looking over the railing of the stairs- from the cliff outtrop he landed on, he could see the Will and Gravity Omnipotent fighting,
Overcome by anger, he Prepared a Icicle- it materialized into the air, and eventually morphed into a Ice-Blade, The Cloaked Figure turned in time to see it and Ran straight in front of where it was going,
Noel- Anticipating this- made it Swipe down Earlier than it should,
...It should've cut through the Cloaked Figure's Arm, but...
There was no blood, The Two Fighting stopped as the Ice Blade hit the ground, A Piece of the Cloth falling alongside it,
The Cloaked figure moved their one arm away from the protective stance they had put it in.
"...Oh."She said, simply. "That's good. Noone Died."
"...You, don't have a arm."Noel said, There was a brief period of awkward silence that followed, Ponek ran up to the cloaked figure and- looking as though she knew exactly who it was, literally ripped their mask off.
Behind it was a Old Lady, with neck-length grey-brown hair, she didn't look particularly wrinkled, and, she looked somewhat relieved- and then suprised.
She keeled over and suddenly started a coughing fit.
"...Lucia, it was you."Ponek said. "...Why were you even wearing this?"
"Oh, That- Guy's virus..."The cloaked one, Lucia said- the Fight having completely been forgotten about once the will omnipotent appeared to have remembered exactly who this cloaked one was. "I caught it and- didn't want it again, or want anyone else to get it. so.."
"...Lucia?"Nikolai asked.
"Yes."Lucia said, not looking too happy as she looked at the wish omnipotent. "I think you know exactly what i wanted to get rid of now, don' you?"
"... I think i have a idea."Nikolai said.
"...It was obvious, Why else would i be meeting Inun in that place."Ponek said.
"Hey Guys." Sanar thought, to Nonias, Noel, and Dilon. "We should get going while they're distracted."
Dilon nodded, he and Nonias went up the stairs immediatly, Ponek and Lucia stopped their conversation almost immediatly, Ponek running after them in normal speed- Noel Pushed her to the side and Set up a Giant Ice-Wall at the top of the stairs just before she got to it, then they went to run into the Spire Building- Nikolai stood up and, with a look of regret, went in after them.
For some reason, As though Ponek really wasn't sure if Inun's 'put the world in the right direction by locking out all of it's harmful factors' spiel was right, she didn't summon enough willpower to destroy the icy wall.
---
The Room Inun was in, the Center of the Tower, had a cold, dark blue- metallic appearance,, snowflakes were falling from the brightness in the ceiliing and melted before touching the floor.
There was a snowflake shaped glow in the middle of the room, and- perhaps ironically- a image of a sun emblazoned onto the floor below it.
Inun put his Hands around the glow.
"...I just need to wait until she gets here, Then this planet, It'll be alongside the rest of us- the better world, all common sense, all rationality. None of this stupid sentimentality or emotional distress,
I think it'll be better this way, don't you?"He asked, as he heard the footsteps of most of the omni's from the rooms behind him.

FROZEN PLANET, PART 8
Inun turned around to see the person entering the room, The Footsteps grew slower and when they stopped, it was a lady with short, white hair, and crystal blue eyes, Wearing a white long sleeved coat which turned to a grey hue as it got longer, and black trousers and boots under it. They looked very expensive.
"Oh, Lake... Didn't expect to see you here."Inun said.
Lake... Didn't look too happy.
----
"What is with this fog?"Dilon asked, As they ran through a Dark Blue Hallway, The Ceiling was just a giant, glowing white- Particles occasionally falling down and evaporating into nothing, A Thick Fog permeated the area and Everyone could only see 2 feet in front of themselves.
"It doesn't matter does it?"Nonias asked. "We just need to get to him before he does to everyone whatever he did to Ponek."
They Continued to run on, and eventually- the Fog Parted. A White Fleece Wearing man standing in front of them in a hallway.
The Fog had completely vanished, it seemed. Allowing them all to see stained glass images of people they didn't know, each with a different coloured visor and one wielding a heart-shaped crest- they didn't seem to be windows.
"Inun!"Dilon yelled, As he ran up to him, the second Dilon's hand touched Inun's, The White fleeced Figure dissipated into Fog and two figures, both looking like him-- but clearly made of fog.
"...It's a stupid distraction. Let's continue."Nikolai said. As they ran past them and continued onwards.
They reached a door with a sun-shaped crest emblazoned on it, Dilon turned his head to see the Fog-Inun's running after him as more started to be given form.
Nonias rushed the door open and they could only go two steps before seeing the pit the door led to. Pieces of Pink Marble falling from the ceiling to the bottom of the pit; both too high or too low to see where they were either coming from or going.
"...It's my wish bracelets, but.. Bigger."Nikolai said.
"This place must be the embodiment of this entire world."Sanar said. "I can feel so many thoughts right now."
At each quarter of the marble pit, there was a different door- each of which looked near identical- flower patterns and question marks of different colours plastered into it; replacing the cool steel of the rest of the walls; The Door on the farthest side was notably open.
Nonias just waved her arm- and the marbles falling all stopped and proceeded to arrange themselves into a walkway, that split off- allowing a way to cross the pit into any of the doors.
"So, which door do we go through?"Nonias asked.
"The Open one?"Noel guessed.
"...Makes sense, Now-"Dilon said- turning to see a Mass of FogInun's appearing and disappearing- getting towards them. "Let's go!"
He said, they rushed across the marbles, Nonias took the un-needed ones and sent them to fight against the Fog-Inun's, which vanished and spread through the air in the marble pit as The Omnipotents ran through the open door, Noel closing it behind him.
The Next Room looked scorched, Pieces of Infrastructure and Stage Blocks scattered about- train tracks beginning in one wall going straight through the other with no apparent meaning. Skeletons in Suits and High-Tech Weapons were pictures on various crags and rocks- the image of a spaceship took up the entirety of the ceiling.
"...Mont's still outside with Naan, isn't he?"Dilon asked.
"Yea, but, I don't think we need him here."Noel said
Sanar went to run ahead, The Rest Followed; a explosion of Mist Shattered the Door to Pieces and proceeded to run after them, Nonias Animated some of the Stage Blocks and they went to Build a wall to keep the fog out- it managed to slip through the holes regardless of anything.-
The Omnipotents had run through the door, and.. stopped.
This Next Hallway was Nearly pitch black, but they could all see themselves standing on the jet black floor; and there looked to be several glowing capsules embedded in the walls- they provided no light though. Nikolai looked inside one closest to the door, and saw what looked like a blurry recording of Maegan and Alicia playing with a Camcorder- it looked to be after Alicia recorded her wish.
"My Name is Alicia and, my Wish was no bad, would ever happen without something good- unbadding it." The Childish sentence somehow found it's way into Nikolai's Head, He looked into the other glowing capsules, they didn't seem exclusive to just the wishes- they were little things from all over time, The Rest walked on- other than Sanar, who seemed stuck on one capsule.
Nikolai saw A Armoured Figure looking up at a glowing orb in one, he saw a group of cavemen sleeping inside a cave, he saw a young, maroon haired child- running into a house to find everything inside it frozen solid.
He got to the one Sanar was looking at, and saw a Young, Albino girl- looking about five, and a grown man and women, looking equally albino- Fiddling around with a Rather Odd looking computer with a giant monitor; on it was a Dusty looking Orphanage- as Nikolai stared; he swore he could hear the sound of a broken down music box.
"...That's Ponek."Sanar said.
"...We need to go."Nikolai sighed, putting his hand on the Thought Omnipotent's shoulder.
They walked on and reached the door, the rest were waiting for them there; the Door looked like it was made out of Crystal.
They opened it, and walked in on a girl with short white hair- which looked to have patterns moving around it- yelling at Inun, A Snowflake inside a glow between the two as Snow fell from the ceiling and evaporated before making contact with the floor.
"You Pointed a Gun at a child? Ugh, I can't Believe Someone let a Fuckboy like you Handle this Planet!?"The Lady yelled.
"Jeez, Lake,Try calming down some, I got myself here didn't i?"Inun laughed, perhaps awkwardly- holding his hands in the air sarcastically.
"By Extortion, That is Not what we're here to do, Were here to make their world better and this is the shit you pull!"Lake yelled.
"Excuse me Sweetheart, are we interrupting something?"Noel asked.
Lake turned around to see him.
"Yes, you are."Lake said- not looking particularly happy. The Fog Burst out of the door behind them and swiirled around the walls like a barrier.
She then turned to Inun. "...I'll deal with you, later."She said. as she stood onto the sun-emblazoned on the floor. And it started to glow; descending down somewhat- Leaving Inun in a room alone with the rest of the Omnipotents.
"..Fuck, I actually thought that glowing snowflake ball was this worlds embodiment of your emotions."Inun gasped. "..So, I don't suppose you guys will just mind, Leaving this place, Do you?"
"No."Noel said.
Inun rolled his eyes, "I'm trying to advance your planet, you know? Get rid of all of these emotions and shiz that are holding you guys back. Ponek wouldn't have been able to march up the fuck off mountain and grab the Genie if i didn't get rid of that depression of hers, ya feel me?"
"You used her to get him, so you could get here."Nonias corrected.
"And, if i didn't. i wouldn't be able to save your planet."Inun said, rubbing the back of his neck. "That Lady would've hung herself ages ago if i didn't show up and take all her pain away."
"But you took more than just that, Ponek may not have brought herself to get me back to them, but she wouldn't have attacked us at all if you didn't fuck with her head."Nikolai stated, clearly.
"But I still stopped that lady from killiin herself."Inun said
"Would she have?"Sanar asked. "She seems brave enough to live with whatever she was feeling- you just grabbed another hand to help you out."
"You could've easily Just talked to us if you thought you wanted to Save this planet. When you asked Naan about this place, you ran away as soon as you saw me; and That virus had to have happened before, that old lady said so. you at least knew Naan catching it was a possibility.
You saw your here to help us but you're putting people in situations where the only thing they can do will align itself with your goals."Dilon said.
"Hey, While I support you using your brain to find things out, I don't appreciate being singled out as amonster." He said, stepping towards the sun-shaped hole in the middle of the floor, "How about next time you insinuate someone trying to do good is a monster, take a second to think how they feel about all this."
With that said, he hopped down the hole. The Mist/Smoke/Fog circling around the wall sent out spears of smog towards where he was standing, it barely missed him and smacked into the floor without enough ferocity to somehow cause a crack.
"After Him!"Dilon yelled, As they all ran to get to him- Nonias managed to hop down with ease, as more Smog Pillars came down to smack everything to the ground, One Managed to hit Noel and exploded into dust; Dilon and Nikolai both managed to jump down the hole before the smog spread onto the floor, tackling Sanar away from the hole in the process; it began to spiral like a tornado around the hole instead of the floor, leaving Sanar and Noel separated from the others.
Sanar saw Noel had collapsed when struck and was now midway through a coughing fit, "Noel!"She called out, rushing over to see if she could aid him.
---
Dilon, Nonias and Nikolai looked at the Place they had found themselves in.
The Sun had stopped at some point in a place with pure white walls and shiny, paved concrete floor. The Three looked to each other, Each knowing that Inun's extra layer to his plan to 'save' this planet, was going to- in the long term- be nothing short of disasterous for the society that had put so much effort into reforming.
They didn't want to end up in a state of mind similar to Ponek's. So they ventured on.
Walking through the room, they could see various forms of light- almost like nebulae or aurora borealis, circling through the hallway, and eventually the circle-shaped foyer the hallway lead into. A Fountain in the middle was spewing out these lights, some changed colour- some were fading away, some were being made.
They ignored the beauty of it all and went up the stairs, heading through the next hallway.
Voices- sounds-- likely feelings, all of it, where everywhere. There was no ceiling or Walls here, just a long hallway that lead to a series of stairs, in the middle of those stairs, a Glowing Light Above a Upside down Pillar- a golden stalactite that looked like it would fall and crush anything under it at a moments notice.
Inun could be seen running up the long hallway, Smog appearing at various points to try and hold him off or restrain him, but he always avoided it. With no words; the three remaining omnipotents ran on after him.
Clocks or Locks or Beads, Dolls, pictures, blank paper and many other items of importance to someone or another occasionally appeared in the abyss they ran in.
Inun ran up the stairs to the alter, and the Omnipotents shortly behind him. Lake was standing in front of it, arms crossed.
"Ugh, You came all this way, seriously?"She asked. The Glow behind her- now that they were closer, clearly had a amorphous, fluid that somehow held itself in a colour-changing orb in the middle of it.
"You already gave us the co-ordinates and You don't really need to be here anymore, so can you just go back up there or whatever so we can get this whole mess behind us?"Lake asked- her mouth going a mile a minute.
"Heheh, Right..."Inun started.
"You better hope she's feeling merciful."Lake said.
"Who's she?"Dilon asked.
"Your Mom."Lake commented, sarcastically. "She'll be here any second; so you might as well just wait til she rids this planet of all negative emotions."
"So, it wasn't Inun that mindwashed Ponek."Nonias frowned.
"Mindwash?"Lake asked. "..I'm sorry, Inun's been kinda on the fritz about this case so anything that went wrong is probably his fault."
"Hey- Hey,Bitch, Hakuna your Tata's, I-"Inun started, before he got cut off by a giant pillar of light appearing next to Lake, with no warning whatsoever.
Inun- in a Panic, suddenly pulled a gun out and shot at the Three Omnipotents; Dilon pushed the two out of the way, and, they fell off the pathway;
Dilon essentially stopped gravity for the three of them; allowing them to float harmlessly a little into the void; they were still close enough to the stairway, alter and walkways for them to get on if something needed them to.
Nikolai grabbed onto a piece of outcropping and turned to see the alter so he could get a view as to what was happening.
The Pillar of light faded; patterns resembling leaves remaining as they to sparkled into nothingness, a almost glowing figure was standing there, Wearing a white robe; with light blue, archaic symbols on the front of it's dress, and what looked like a royal necklace as well. Her hair was white- no outline- almost glowing and as it went down her back it looked as though it turned into a siluhuette of a set of tree branches.
"Ah, Miss Aestrae!"Inun cheered.
"Be quiet."Miss Aestrae said. "My Name's Verita, as i'm sure you remember. and that incident with the child- while i see your motivations i do not condone such behaviour."
"U-Um, Yes...Miss."Inun muttered, pulling at the hairs on the back of his neck awkwardly. The Glowing Lady- Verita Aestrae, turned to look at Lake.
"Hi, Lake. I trust your doing well."She said, Lake just nodded.
"As fine as i can be. I was curious as to why he wanted the fog here, but... Now that i know- I'd rather i never bothered blanketeing this place in mist."Lake said.
"Well, you didn't. So it's all okay."Verita said, as she turned to look at the rainbow ball in the middle of the alter's glow. "...This is the Embodiment of the Feelings of everyone in this planet, yes?"
"Yes! It is,I got what you wanted. Now You can Purge this plan-"Inun rambled.
"Excuse me, but did I say you could talk?Verita asked- a deafening silence filled the area until she started to speak again. "...It seems there's more to your demons than just anger and sadness.You should stop placing yourself on a pedastal and acting like everything you do is going to be right."
With that said, she turned to the orb, walked up to it and placed both her hands around it, it started to glow along with her and all the white on her body was glowing with the same colours of the orb.
Nikolai turned to the floating Nonias and Dilon.
"We need to do something about this."He muttered.
"I'll stop her."Dilon said, rocketing up- so high he could see where the golden stalactive above the point of emotions- inside the point of effect- began, and then crashed to the ground-Inun Fell to the ground with so much gravity on him that he couldn't move, Verita and Lake- also cast- fell as well, Her colours faded back to white as they fell to the ground.
Smoke came from the Pillar and Smacked into Dilon; exploding into his face and stopping any air from accessing his nostrils or mouth, His grip on their gravity eventually weakened, Lake managed to get herself upright- and helped Verita to her feet shortly after, as Dilon tried to breathe through the smog sticking itself to his face.
Nonias turned to Nikolai, with a look that clearly said 'we need to help too'.
They Flipped themselves onto the staircase, and got ready for-
So Much Smoke came at them that there wasn't time to blink before they couldn't see anything.
----
Noel kept trying to break through the Smognado blocking them from reuniting with the rest of the omni's, but His Ice got swept up by it instead of breaking it apart. Sanar walked from a distance with a sad expression, and then returned to the memory hallway.
She found the memory she was looking for with ease; the one of the younger Ponek and two people who must've been her parents, looking at a orphanage through some kind of computer.
As the Omnipotent of thoughts, she sensed all of Ponek's lost emotions were greatly attached to this memory; it was the connecting point for everything she had done so far, Sanar was sure of it.
She placed her hands on the capsule, and- Neurotic electricity started to flow around her- crossing over synapses and turning into the pure thought she knew she was tapping into.
The Entire area rippled as Sanar's eyes started to glow- shortly followed by the entire room.
Everything dissapeared, Sanar was standing in a white expanse, surrounded by names floating- small near invisible lines giving the shape of files were surrounding the names,
'Loid' 'Leo' 'Grant' 'Sonia' 'Mary' they were all in random order.
The one right in front of her, read 'Peko' and the name turned gold,
Sanar jumped straight into Ponek's Memories.
---
A Young Child suddenly let loost a burst of Ice from his hands, Government agents all around started to run in a panic.
A Albino girl- looking a year or two younger, with both of her parents holding her shoulders, turned to look at her dad in fright.
"Dad, Dad? What's going on?"
"That Omnipotent lost control!"One of the Soldiers nearby shouted, "Everyone try to get out!"
The Doors out of the building frostedover, there was no way to open any of them as the ice power started to build. The Child didn't seem aware of anything that was happening.
"...We're not getting out of this, sweetie."Ponek's Dad said, grabbing her by the hand and running, her Mother followed suit as People ran around in a hurry- trying to find a way out as snowflakes started to form in mid-air,
They ran up the stairs, and to a Computer situated oddly in the middle of a hallway, it looked giant; with multiple monitors.
"This thing shows us all of time, correct?"Ponek's Father asked, Her Mother nodded and- seeing only one possibility, ran to activate it and try to set some co-ordinates.
"Peko, Peko, Sweetie, Listen to me. It's going to be okay. We... If we don't live then. In my will; All of our fortune, the Crests we've gathered, everything we've worked so hard for, in case that lousy Callus or some other rebellion tries anything- I'll have it buried with me, Don't worry dear, even if i die, you'll let our legacy live on. Won't you?"
Peko, in a fleeting moment, nodded with a brave expression.
Her Father mock-saluted her. "If this works right, we'll be with you soon."
Her Mother pressed a button- and suddenly the Child was- alone, in a snowy field.
"Hey!" A Young Voice called out, Peko turned around to see a young girl, wearing a pink hoodie, with black hair walking alone in the snow. "Can you hear me!?"She asked.
"I can!"Peko called out.
"...Oh, Another Kid? Where you told to go to this orphanage as well?"She asked.
There was quiet.
"...I guess not, Huh, Can't blame the others-If the rumours are true and all that.- Anyway, I'm Sandra. Who are you?"
"...Peko."The Albino child said.
Peko had no idea where she was- and had yet to understand that her father had died; so she walked with Sandra on her trip to some orphanage. While on the way, Peko talked about what had happened with her parents, and Nearly broke into tears when Sandra said they were probably dead. Like hers.
Eventually, they arrived at a Dusty Old Orphanage to the sound of a slow and quiet music box. Upon looking around, they finally found a brown haired adult lady- with only one arm- crying silently in front of seven graves, when she noticed them- she apologized for her behaviour and welcomed them to their new homes.
Sandra and Peko got to share a room, but noticed that it was already full of stuff belonging to someone else, The Lady- who introduced herself as Lucia- didn't say anything about who once had this room, but Peko could hear her crying that night.
A Few years past, Lucia tried to be a parent to the two; but Peko spent more time talking with Sandra about where her parents graves might be, and whenever they actually talked Lucia cut herself off midway through and started crying, but saying it was all okay. Peko eventually discovered she had some kind of 'will' power, which equated to super strenght and speed whenever motivated- she once asked if she was getting all of her will by absorbing it from Lucia- but the depressed caretaker denied it.
Eventually...
"...Just, Leave."Lucia sighed- her voice dry.
"But we live here, you know."Sandra said. "We don't have many other places to go."
"There's this town... Being made by a group of omnipotents, a bit away. You all can, probably get there. Just.. Leave... I'm a horrible caretaker, I either hardly even try or everyone in my care ends up dead.."
Lucia broke into a fit of tears and the two children left after packing all of their stuff. Peko's eyes emitted a pink haze and the two Broke into a run to find this new place.
The Memory faded and Sanar was standing in a Snowy Graveyard, Camelia Bouquets littered around every single grave. Images of Chains That looked like they were wrapped around the entire area pulsed in the purple, cloudy sky- it looked like it was going to rain at any second.
Ponek- dressed in mourning clothes, was standing in front of the one grave that- instead of being littered with bouquets, had pictures of a family, important documents, and what looked like a crest of courage, scattered in front of it.
"...I... Failed them."Ponek stuttered out, but there were no tears. The Chains tightened around the sky when a tear thretened to show itself. Sanar walked up to her.
"...They were, counting on me, and... I Never even bothered to fulfill their last wish and... when i finally did, it didn't even happen... everything they wanted to leave to me, everything they trusted me to care... i couldn't do anything about it...."
"...You feel guilty? Even though you were warped through time?"Sanar asked, Ponek turned to look at her in suprise.
"I... I don't really see how you could've done anything about this."
"...I should've been able to."Ponek sighed. "..And, And..."
"...When these feelings of guilt got too much, Inun showed up didn't he?"
"...It was about a week ago, I felt, so much better afterwards..."Ponek smiled. "But, Then I just stopped caring about, all of you. I Fucking let him Injure a kid, so he could threaten that coward."She smiled, tears dissapearing upon being wept as the Chains restraining the stormy sky suddenly started to rattle.
Sanar just held out her hand. Ponek held hers out as well, she nearly grabbed it..
The Chains fell from the sky and- like tears- it began to rain heavily on the graveyard.
"...They...tainted me."
It all faded to white.
---
She was back in the hallway of memories.
Sanar felt as though something in the air had changed, thoughts resembling anger had started to break from the capsule; although they weren't actually anger.
A Pink Haze Flickered near the entrance to the hallway for a second- The Door Broke open and Capsules shattered, Ponek was seen for a split second- determined enough to literally phase through the other door, Sanar ran to see what had happened.
The Smognado had been billowed into nothingness, Sounds of other people running after the Will Omnipotent could be heard as Noel Managed to get himself upright again.
---- The Smog Threw Nikolai around with ease and Lake was currently being held in the air by A Chain attached to a watch that had spurred into existance at some point in the void-room.
Nonias was having a hard time staying where she was, Dilon was out cold and gravity was near nonexistance for everyone who wasn't verita or Inun- for Inun it was too strong for him to move.
Nikolai had no bracelets for him to grant any of his own wishes for them to leave the planet and never come back- and Nonias was too caught up in the fight to say anything. The Smog was seperating them from Verita while she got back to doing her thing, Two White Glowing Trees were on either side of Lake, however- and were Giving Nonias trouble as they extended to try to hold her or any of her animated objects off from actually harming any of them. One Branch from one of the trees suddenly swerved and elongated; striking into Nonias and sending her flying as it extended into more branches- causing her to get stuck in it as it closed around her torso.
Nikolai kept getting swerved by Pillars that came out of the fog to try and squash him- The Battle was going nowhere fast.
Nonias animated a few more objects but they got impaled by fog-pillars as the fog started to circle around the edges of the area, so it could attack from anywhere inside it's circle of sight; everyone was in it at this time.
As the Fog started to produce pillars from every angle; as Nonias could tell from her position; all aimed at Nikolai-
"...Lake must know that if someone wishes it; he can literally stop verita just like that..."Nonias sighed, as it all came out and-
A small flash of pink and, The Smog all went flying, Wind Being set out in every direction, Tree branches spawned around Verita to keep her in place as she started to glow with all the colours of the orb again. Lake got blown backwards- the tree branches elongated to catch her as her smog went flying, Dilon went skidding slightly across the stairs, and Nikolai flat out went up into the air.
Nonias's Hair got caught in her mouth and- until she moved it, she was unable to properly see what was going on.
Ponek had suddenly appeared in front of Nikolai, and... Mont, (a tired and confused) Naan, Sanar and Noel were running up the path shortly behind her.
Noel sent a Mass of Ice out; that instantly went and Froze Lake, Verita was focused on her task as the Colour Ball started to fade and- she pulled away from it, and then turned around.
"...I appreciate your attempts but, Your Planet's Safe now."Verita said, with a kind smile on her face, as the tree's broke out of the ice; freeing Lake as a result.
"Y-Yeah!"Inun declared- still stuck to the floor "All of those stupid emotions hold you back, There going to be leaving within time!A Better, More Focused World-Doesn't that sound-"
"Didn't I say you weren't part of this anymore?"Verita asked.
Lucia was behind the Omni's, still in the cloak. She looked like she should be sad, and was holding a gun- the safety was on- and it wasn't clear whether she was pointing it at the omnipotents or Verita from how shaky her arm was.
"...Please, Don't... Make me do this to you."She said, sounding like she should be in hysterics.
Ponek turned to look at everyone.
"We need to get out of here if you dont want to... end up like me or Lucia."
Sanar, upon hearing that thought, shouted out the first thing that came to her mind.
"Nikolai, I wish we All Left this Universe, and weren't affected by whatever Inun's Doing!"
Nikolai looked suprised- but all of the omnipotents started to glow cyan and...
In a Blip of Light, vanished.
"...Oh... We have enemies now?"Verita asked.. disturbingly calm after seeing that just happen.
all the colours in the orb faded- only about half were present; there was emptiness whenever the others should've shown up.
"...Inun shouldn't have tried to kill them, but... I appreciate what your doing."Lucia said. "...It was eating me up inside, But...
...You were going to kill them, They had valid points... You...
I'm not going to involve myself with any of this any more..."Lucia said, dropping the gun into the abyss and walking away.
Lake got herself upright while Verita looked at Lucia with no visible expression, Inun stood up, to see the two dissaproving glares thrown his way.
----
They were on a glowing Platform, the area was a cold blue; occasionally binary-resembling streams of light blue would flicker up the walls to the ceiling. A Single giant window showed the abyss that was space, stars and planets twinkling in the distance.
"Quite a Beautiful View, isn't it?"Dilon asked- seeming to have decided to change the subject for a while. He and Nikolaii were sitting on the glowing platform- neither entirely sure of where they were.
"...It's alright."Nikolai responded. "I wouldn't quite mind being here for a while...Every, single time my wishes are used... something like this happens."
"It bugs me that we didn't actually win, in the end. Sanar just managed to get us out of there before It effected us as well."Dilon said.
"...Let's just let this fix itself, okay? I'm, going to make one last wish"Nikolai said.
"What'll it be?"Dilon asked.
"...Every problem, Ever... Will find a way to fix itself."Nikolai said. "..No Matter how long it takes, It'll do so, Naturally."
----
"...They must be somewhere else entirely; I can't Find their thoughts, and any i do find.. it's just 1st and 0s."Sanar mumbled.
"..I see, at least you tried."Nonias said- the Two in what looked to be a restaurant; although the creatures inside it were clearly not human- judging by the palmon on the table next to him; they seemed to be in a digital world.
Something that looked like a egg arrived. "Have you two made a decision?"It asked.
"I'd, Just like some tea, please."Nonias said.
"Whatever's the cheapest."Sanar said, sounding clearly distracted.
The Egg went back behind the counter- now that it knew their orders.
"...We must as well have some fun while we're here."Nonias said- likely a attempt to play to Sanar's inner child, "We'll find the rest on the way, i'm sure of it."
-----
The Area resembled a LSD Trip.
"Ponek! Ponek, Wait up!"Noel Called out, running on a road that looked like it was made of clay while Paper-Mache Windmills were just, present behind him. Stop Signs and Paper-Butterflies just flying around the Ice Omnipotent, switching to Riding on a Ice-Skateboard to increase his chances of getting out,
"Kid!"He Called out again, creating a ramp to propel him faster, but he was still unable to catch up with her.
"...God-Damnit!"He Called out in annoyance, punhing the clay-ground in response. ----
"If I had to guess, I'd say since Sanar's wish didn't specify where, it just dumped us anywhere."Mont said- looking through a series of files he had, somehow obtained. Judging by how the area looked; he appeared to have somehow found his way into the archives.
Naan just sat in the chair across from him, not saying anything.
"...Of course, your scared, aren't you."Mont said. "Well, it's alright- Without Nikolai; it'll at least be extremely hard for any of them to find us, we did kinda just, pop into here out of nowhere, after all."
Naan Nodded, nerviously.
"...We should probably leave soon though."He said. "Personally I'd rather not meet the people in charge of this place, I've just, heard things, you know" He whispered that last part, Naan looked a bit more frightened by this news.
"..Let's just get going."Mont said, picking her up.
---
Sandra was watching the snow. She felt, oddly hollow. The Villagers and Omnipotents hadn't come back yet,
"Where on earth are they?"A confused sounding old lady asked "They should've been home ages ago."
"I'm sorry."A Unfamiliar voice said, they turned around to see a lady that looked like she was glowing standing near them. "But, Things happened. They've vanished off the face of the earth. Greetings, I'm Verita Aestrae, and I promise, I will be looking for your omnipotents and returning them to this village when i find them."
The Village should've been in a uproar after hearing this, but it wasn't.
----
A Few weeks had passed, Nikolai was sitting on the glowing Floor. He had just enough materials in this, strange spaceship of sorts; to make one more wish bracelet. and at long last; he managed to make one.
He stood up; holding the wish bracelet in his hand; this one with different variants of marbles used instead of pink beads, it didn't matter too much. it still had his power.
He Found Dilon, Asleep in the Captains Quarters, With a look of irritation, he just knocked Dilon on the head some. The Gravity Omnipotent woke up with ease.
"Ugh, What is it?"Dilon asked- sitting up, Nikolai sat down on the bed next to him.
"..I've changed my mind. My last wish is already happening, so i don't need to make it. My wish will be different instead."He said.
"...All of the Omnipotents of the Frozen Planet, Let's Appear again... Together, In front of Lucia's Orphanage."
The Bracelet began to glow as...
Dilon and Nikolai vanished from the ship.
...Outside the Archives, Mont and a Scared Naan vanished...
...Sanar and Nonias, Currently Snoozing... vanished
...Noel- who's brain was probably dried up from the strange dimension he ended up in vanished.
Ponek, who hadn't stopped running, vanished.
----
Lucia was staring the mirror in her bedroom, She looked Older, and she could tell. She felt like she should feel like crying, and should be crying, but it annoyed her that it wasn't the case.
She heard a knock at the door and, curious, she went to answer it. She saw Ponek standing there, her brown cloak now gone, the albino was wearing a blue shirt and black trousers.
"...Oh, Peko... You're back."
"..Yes."Ponek said. "I am, I just.. want to say that.."
There was silence, ponek cleared her throat.
"...I'm sorry if i ever, inconvienced you."
Lucia, smiling slightly, hugged her.
----
The Village had been silent in the time since the Omnipotents had vanished, The Smoke Omnipotent from another dimension and the Strange Glowing Lady had both been trying to take their place and, The Village just felt strange about it.
Gaston, who had returned alongside the rest of the villagers, claiming mont and dilon had 'vanished in a puff of light' was particularly annoyed with this.
"I'm telling you, those people didn't make this village, they should just leave and let us handle our own til the omnipotents return."He said, a Complacent Sandra only nodded in response.
---
Six of the Eight Omnipotents returned the next day, Gaston was amazed, but also annoyed "Where the Hell were you people?"He asked, the rest of the Villagers welcomed them, however. Nikolai was gone; he doubted the village would be able to handle him after 'all his powers have caused'
Dilon looked at Lake- who was standing in the distance- with a challenging stare.
Lake turned to Look at Verita in a panic.
"...I trust you guys to handle your own world."Verita said. "Thank you all for having us, we'll be leaving now"
She and Lake vanished in a pillar of light.
Dilon just scoffed. "..Cowards."
"We still need to find a way to undo what they've done,though."Nonias whispered to him.
"We'll find a way in our own time."Sanar said. "...We could always just get Nikolai to take us there, so we can undo what she did, can't we?"
There was silence,
It would take a while, but the omnipotents decided that they would handle this.
...The End?

Alternate Frozen Planet Story: Sins of the Fathers
Part 1
It begins in a pararell universe, which is the alternate universe of the Frozen Planet. Most of the events there were still the same, except for a particular one.
It cuts to the orphanage.
Inside, in one of the rooms, a girl with long black hair was sleeping peacefully in her bed.
A few seconds later, the alarm clock began ringing.
The girl slowly opened her eyes as she pressed the button on the alarm clock and stopped it from ringing.
The girl yawned.
"Another new day." The girl said, rubbing her eyes.
She got out of bed and turned to a dirty looking fish tank which contained a blue lizard in it which was sleeping.
The girl walked up to the tank and turned on the heat lamp, waking up the lizard.
"Good morning, Victor! Come on, it's time to wake up, we have a long day ahead of us!" The girl smiled.
The lizard, Victor, nodded as it slowly crawled out of the tank.
The girl opened up her closet and picked up her clothes and puts them on her bed.
She changed out of her pajamas and puts on her blue shirt with black pants, along with her black open vest, pearl necklace and black gloves.
The girl turned to the lizard.
"Ready to start the day, Victor?" The girl asked.
The lizard nodded.
The girl picked up the reptile and puts it on her shoulder as she walked out of her room.
She turned to the room next to her's and knocked.
"Ponek, are you awake?" The girl asked.
There was no response.
The girl slowly opened the door and there was no inside.
"Huh, Ponek's not in her room. That means Sandra isn't in her's aswell. Maybe they're downstairs." The girl said.
The girl climbed downstairs and walked into the kitchen. Lucia was there, sitting at the table, drinking coffee. The only change to her was that she now has a new arm which was robotic.
Lucia noticed the girl.
"Morning, Alison." Lucia smiled.
"Morning, mom. What's for breakfast?" Alison asked.
"Soup, as usual." Lucia said.
Alison sat down and sipped some of her soup.
Victor just walked up to his plate and began eating.
"So, where's dad?" Alison asked.
"Out hunting in the forest. He said that he wanted to take you with him, but he din't want to disturb your sleep." Lucia said.
"...I don't like hunting anyways so I'm okay with that. Do you know where Ponek and Sandra are? They weren't in their rooms." Alison said.
"They said they were going to the village. You can meet up with them there." Lucia said.
"Cool. I was planning to go there anyways." Alison said.
"Okay. While there, you wouldn't mind buying some groceries, would you?" Lucia asked.
"Sure thing, mom." Alison nodded.
"Here is the list of the things that you need to buy. You're free to buy some stuff that you like and maybe something nice for Peko and Sandra aswell." Lucia said, handing the list to Alison.
"Okay, mom." Alison nodded.
She picked up some coins and looked at Victor.
"Victor, let's go." Alison said.
Victor got on Alison and sat on her shoulder.
"See you later, mom." Alison said as she walked out.
Lucia just smiled as she waved at her daughter.
Alison looked around and it was snowing, like it always does in every day of her life.
She walked down the hill to get to the village.
"Hi, my name is Alison Raven. And this...is my story" Alison's voice narrated.
"I'm the daughter of Lucia Ferele, my mother, and Tarus Raven, my father...but his name stopped being Tarus after a horrible tragedy happened which changed his life for the worse. From what he told me, he was raised in a orphanage by a nice man called Lucien, but the people from his town hated him because of him being a Omnipotent and one day they ran him out of the village. He met up with some other outcasts who were Omnipotents and survived together for awhile till some insane guy called Aro showed up and killed all of my father's friends and it drove my father mad, and his face changed as a result. He changed his name to Hastur and attempted to take over universes, thinking that it would be the only way to make peace for all the worlds and stop conflicts forever, thinking that it would be the only way to fulfill his friends's wishes. My mother contacted him and talked with him about changing his way slightly, since killing aliens wouldn't make him look good in everyone's eyes. She said that he was reasonable enough to discuss with and wasn't as evil as everyone claimed him to be." Alison said.
Alison continued walking to the village while looking at her surroundings.
"Mom was teleported on his ship along with a alien and witnessed the fight going on between dad and some guardian who was trying to stop him. Mom din't exactly like how he was handling the situation, especially since he was attempting to fight a little kid who was pretty powerful for his age and two teenagers. Those teenagers fused into a giant monster wolf and savagely ripped his arm off. Mom wasn't comfortable seeing that as it triggered flashbacks of how she lost her own arm and once the battle was over, she wanted to step in and prevent anyone else from being stabbed or killed but dad managed to escape and appeared on this planet. He lost consciousness from the loss of his arm and blood and mom took him into the orphanage since she couldn't leave him out to die just like that. Once he woke up, both of them began to talk to each other for the first time face to face, and saw that they both had some things in common. Dad couldn't stay because his face would of scared some newcomers but he was allowed to stay in the village and was visited by mom every day. He eventually figured out a way to fix his face and he was allowed to stay with mom in the orphanage and made two cyborg arms, one for himself and one for her. No one was able to recognize thanks to his fixed up face and referred to himself as Lucien. Mom told the villagers that he was a traveler from another universe who moved in here and let him stay in her orphanage. Eventually, both of them got married and well...here I am. Dad has a nickname for mom, and it's 'Angel of mercy' since she was the only person who din't see him as a monster and saved him from dying. His nickname for me is Little Angel." Alison said.
Alison arrived at the village and walked past the giant ice castle which was currently being cleaned up by some apparently sentient brooms. Near the entrance was Nonias who was mostly watching the brooms and happily waved at Alison who waved back at her.
Alison walked past a mass of empty houses and looked sad while looking at them.
"This is my hometown...it isn't exactly the most happiest place on Earth. It wasn't always like this, before I was born, it was a normal city, till one day the Ice Age struck and everyone was taken by surprise by what just happened. And it din't end there. Things took a turn for the worse as some guy called Callus started up a rebellion and a war started as a result. Mom and some others found a huge house and began to use it as a orphanage and took in some kids who lost their parents during the war and mom did her best to take care of these kids...but unfortunately, it turned into a huge nightmare for her instead. The town hasn't recovered after the events of the war and just to put the cherry on top of the shitcake, dad showed up in this world to put it under his 'protection' aswell but the army din't take it kindly and a battle happened. A robot soldier of dad accidently used a huge gun from the ship and blasted a entire population to smithereens so, it made things much worse and made his reputation look bad. He was upset about what happened and threw the Shade into a pool of acid in a fit of rage and just went into the next world. That is how mom found out about dad's existence. The economy of my world is pretty much in the toilet and people are struggling to keep their businesses alive. People barely have any money to pay and most of the times use coins to buy stuff. And with the forever continuing winter, it din't make things much easier. I din't go to school as a result so mom had to educate me for most of my life. I wonder if other worlds have it much worse than we do right now." Alison said.
Alison walked into a shop to buy the stuff according to Lucia's list
After a few minutes, she walked out of the shop, carrying a bag full of groceries, aswell as some other stuff Alison bought for herself.
She walked towards the empty part of the village and sat down on a bench, putting down her bag.
"Well, time to eat." Alison said.
Alison pulled a rice ball out of the bag and happily took a bite out of the ball.
Victor nudged Alison's shoulder.
"Oh, sorry Victor. Here, you can have some too." Alison said.
Alison ripped a part of the rice ball and gave it to Victor who immediately ate it.
"Victor is my friend and companion. I found him ever since he was an egg and asked my parents if I can keep him. Dad was kinda skeptical about it but mom assured him that none of the lizards are poisonous or feral, so she said that I can keep him as long as I keep my eye on him, never overfeed him, to always turn on the heat lamp and other responsibilities of keeping a pet. People were always confused about me bringing Victor everywhere I was going but I told him that wherever I go, he goes basically." Alison said.
Alison continued eating the rice ball till she spotted a small figure coming this way towards her. And it was none other than Sanar, who has carrying ramen with her.
"Oh, good morning, Sanar." Alison said.
"Hi, Alison." Sanar said.
"Sanar is one of the Omnipotents of this world. She is the Omnipotent of Thoughts. She can basically read anyone's thoughts and even sent them to other people to hear them. She is sort of a walking satellite in a way. When I first met her, she immediately figured out that my dad was Hastur and promised me that she won't spoil the secret to anyone and that she will keep it to herself." Alison said.
"So, how are you doing?" Sanar asked.
"Oh, just buying some stuff for my mom. Did you see Ponek and Sandra?" Alison asked.
"...No, I don't think so. I just woke up right now." Sanar said
"Oh, I see." Alison said.
She noticed the soup in her tiny hands.
"...That soup won't taste so good if you keep it in the cold." Alison said.
"Oh, it's not for me...it's for...um..." Sanar said.
"...It's for Nikolai, huh?" Alison said.
"...Yeeeah." Sanar sighed. "Look, I know you don't like him because of what happened with your mom-"
"No, no, it's okay. You can go and give it to him to...wherever he is. And I promise I won't tell anyone that you are going to see him." Alison said.
"Thanks." Sanar said.
"So, isn't Naan with you?" Alison asked.
"She is training with Dilon right now in the dome. Gran said I could take the day off." Sanar said.
"Oh, okay. I guess I'll go and pay them a visit, to see if they saw Ponek and Sandra." Alison said.
"Okay. Well, I'm going to Nikolai's house. Bye, Alison!" Sanar said as she took off.
Sanar ran off and Alison waved at her. Once she was gone, Alison sighed.
"...Nikolai." Alison said.
"Nikolai is the Omnipotent of Wishes. He is a genie of some sorts and one of mom's orphans received some magical beads that can grant any wishes, even the most impossible ones. Even mom used one of the beads for a wish and all the orphans's wishes were nice....well, all except one orphan's wish. His name was Grant, he was the only one who was scarred by the events of the war and turned into a psychopath who wished for immortality and invincibility and the first act was to slaughter all the orphans from the orphanage. He killed each and every one of them without any regrets. Mom survived but that monster ripped her arm off, and all she ever did was being a parent to him. Mom was pretty traumatized by what happened and blamed Nikolai and sometimes herself for what happened. After she got together with dad and gave birth to me, she eventually let go of her hate for Nikolai and decided to forgive him for what he did. Despite my mom's wishes, I went to find Nikolai and ask what gives and he told me that he din't mean for all of that to happen and said that he din't know that one of the orphans was a psycho. I had a hard time forgiving him for putting my mom through hell but if my mom could find it in her heart to forgive him, then I guess so can I. I din't tell anyone about it and nobody found out about Nikolai but he decided to leave anyways and only Sanar knows where he is right now." Alison said.
Alison finished her rice ball and got up, picked her groceries and decided to go to the dome.
"Besides Nikolai and Sanar, there were other 6 Omnipotents living here. There are supposed to be 12 Omnipotents in one universe so the other 4 were possibly living in another country or they were dead. Others were the owner of the giant ice castle called Noel, who's power is, you are never gonna guess, ice, his girlfriend Nonias had the power to bring life to objects, Sanar's friend Naan can make reflections of herself and other people, Dilon had the power of Gravity and was Sanar and Naan's teacher, Mont is the Omnipotent of Health and last but nost least, my friend Ponek, who has willpower. Noel is probably the only Omnipotent who doesn't like my dad's old self and despite telling his alternate universe counterpart from that tournament about my parents, I don't intend on telling this Noel about who my dad is. His girlfriend is nice, Dilon is kinda like a overzealous PE teacher, Naan is shy when around strangers and I don't really know what to say about Mont. He is kinda shy sometimes whenever he is around me and is mostly a good guy and knows a lot of useful stuff so, he is okay in my book." Alison said.
Alison arrived at the dome and could hear something hitting the ceiling before entering in.
"And, with no Mirrors around, how to you intend to use that power of yours, child?"
Alison recognized Dilon's voice and sighed as she entered in the dome and spotted Naan who was currently stuck onto the ceiling and of course the man himself, Dilon.
"I expect a answer!"Dilon boomed. Naan's eyes flashed from spot to spot in the arena before her eyes settled on a small puddle of water, she stood herself up- being upside-down due to dilon's gravity power sticking her to the ceiling, as she ran over to where her reflection would show in the puddle.
Dilon, as though he anticipitated this, turned and stomped his foot, sending Naan back to the ground. It was a bit too late to stop her, as her reflection was clearly in the water, and when she fell. It burst right out of the puddle.
Reflectnaan's form was a lot more transculent. Dilon chortled upon seeing it.
"Ah, I'm impressed."He smiled, as a few more Reflectnaan's hopped out of the puddle in a similar manner. Dilon stomped on the ground again and they were sent flying into the ceiling- smashing into drops of water the second they made contact. Naan Grumbled in annoyance. "But do you think such fragile forms are going to take me out?"He asked.
"S-Somehow!"Naan called out- her voice sounding significantly unconfident, Dilon just rolled his eyes and kept sending more and more Reflectnaan's into the ceiling- where they joined the rest as small puddles sticking to the top. The girl looked into the reflection and could see Dilon's if she looked in a certain angle.
Naan closed her eyes and many a Reflectnaan sprouted out of the puddle, charging at Dilon- a few of them managed to attack him due to sheer numbers but most got sent to the ceiling,
While he was focused on them, a Reflectdilon charged out of the puddle and smashed him right in the face- sending Dilon staggering on his feet for a few seconds, before he punched the Reflection- which, due to being stronger than a 9 year old girl- stayed in one piece.
"I'm impressed."Dilon said. "You managed to make more than one type of reflection today."He grinned. Naan just smiled, wiping some sweat off of her forehead.
Alison just smiled as she walked up to the two.
"So, you two are doing some progress I see." Alison said.
Dilon turned to Alison, smiling.
"Greetings, Alison. And yes, we are. With some good training and concentration, Naan will surely grow up to become a powerful Omnipotent!" Dilon said.
"...Um, yeah. Hi, Alison." Naan awkwardly said.
" Hi. I don't really see the need for that. I mean, ever since the Grant incident, nothing eventful happened in here." Alison said.
"Sanar and Naan need to be prepared for anything that can happen. Just because nothing happened for a few years, it doesn't mean that we can't prepare ourselves for the unexpected. For all we know, we could be ambushed by some powerful aliens that Mont mentioned once, or another war happening or someone else taking Hastur's place and trying to conquer our world again." Dilon said.
Alison looked awkward when she heard the last bit.
"...Um, yeah, you do have a good point there." Alison said.
"Exactly. So, what brings you here?" Dilon asked.
"Well, I was in the village buying some groceries for mom and also trying to find Ponek and Sandra. Do you know where they could be?" Alison asked.
"No, I was busy training Naan to notice anything else." Dilon said.
"Oh, I see." Alison said.
Dilon turned to Naan.
"Well, I'm taking Naan with me to get ourselves some Fireapples as reward for her brilliant performance today. You can come with us." Dilon said.
"Nah, I'll pass. Maybe next time." Alison said.
"Okay then. So, are your parents well?" Dilon asked.
"Yeah. Mom is doing okay and dad is out hunting." Alison said.
"That's good to hear." Dilon smiled.
"Yup...well, I'm gonna go and continue searching for my friends." Alison said.
"You do that. Remember to always eat healthy and stay in good shape!" Dilon said.
"I will, sir." Alison said, mock saluting. Victor mock saluted aswell.
Alison walked out of the dome.
"...Where could those two be? I hope they're okay." Alison said.
Alison decided to go into the forest and search for them there.
She spent most of her time just walking around the woods in circles, with no luck in finding Ponek and Sandra.
Alison sighed as she continued walking.
"So, are you sure he is not coming back?" A female voice asked.
"Yes, definitely sure." A second voice said.
Alison stopped when she heard those voices, recognizing them.
She walked towards a bush and looked through it, spotting Ponek and Sandra, talking to each other.
"Finally! What are those two talking about?" Alison asked in her mind.
"You weren't gonna accept his offer, were you?" Sandra asked.
"No, of course not. The guy annoyed me enough with his constant 'without emotions, we will become a superior race' or whatever bullshit speech he was telling me. I told him that I din't need his help and that he could just take a hike." Ponek said.
"And what did he do?" Sandra asked.
"He accepted and just...vanished." Ponek said.
"Huh. That's weird." Sandra said.
"Yup...we should probably go now." Ponek said.
Alison, curious about who they were talking about, she walked up to them.
"Hey you two. I have been looking all over for you." Alison said.
They turned to Alison.
"Oh, hey." Sandra smiled.
"...Hi, Ali." Ponek sighed.
"These two are Ponek and Sandra. They both moved in the orphanage when I was little and the three of us became friends very quickly. One time, we snuck out of our rooms and stole a jar of cookies from the kitchen and we ate each cookie till there was one left. We split up the last one in three pieces for each of us. We are kinda like sisters in a way." Alison said.
"...So, who were you two talking about?" Alison asked.
"Some random guy that Ponek ran into." Sandra said.
"What did he want?" Alison asked.
"To find a pillar apparently and remove everyone's emotions to turn us into a superior race." Ponek said.
"...Huh. Do you know what his name was?" Alison asked.
"Yeah, he said he is called Inun. He definitely isn't from around here. He apparently wanted to help me with my situation but I told him that I can handle it and told him to leave and he did." Ponek said.
"Okay...should we be worried about him possibly coming back?" Alison asked.
"Nah, I don't think so. If he does, then I'll just pow him straight to the moon if he din't get the message by now." Ponek said.
"Heh, sounds like something that you would do." Alison smiled.
Ponek just shrugged.
Sandra looked at her bag.
"...So, you've been out shopping?" Sandra asked.
"Yeah, I bought some stuff that my mom wanted since dad is busy with the hunting right now. I did buy some three rice balls for the three of us. I already ate mine." Alison said.
"Oh, thanks." Ponek said.
"Yup...so, what do you two want to do now?" Alison asked.
"...I guess we could just hang around more in the village till nightfall and go back to the orphanage." Sandra shrugged.
"Sounds good to me." Alison said.
"Let's go then." Ponek said.
Alison, Sandra, Ponek and Victor made their way to the village again.
It cuts to them sitting on a bench. Sandra said that she needed to go and find some place to pee while it was only Alison and Ponek sitting on the bench and latter was currently eating her rice ball.
Ponek looked a bit gloomy for some reason.
"Ponek, are you okay?" Alison asked.
"...Yeah...I'm just...thinking mostly." Ponek said.
"About what?" Alison asked.
"Stuff." Ponek said.
"Stuff?" Alison asked.
"Yeah." Ponek said.
"...Look, I can tell something is bothering you. You can always tell me what's going on." Alison said.
"It's just...ugh..." Ponek said, who stopped from eating her rice ball.
"Go ahead, what's wrong?" Alison asked.
"It's...about my past. I have been started to think about it lately." Ponek said.
"Your past?" Alison asked.
"Yeah...My dad is dead but I don't know where he was buried. I never got the chance to tell him how I am doing right now." Ponek said.
"Is that what you are worried about?" Alison asked.
"...That and some other stuff." Ponek said.
"Oh." Alison said.
"Yeah...I'm not in the mood right now. I wished Nikolai was still here, he could of helped by using his power to find my dad's grave but he decided to fuck off who knows where." Ponek sighed.
"...Is there anything I can say that will make you feel better?" Alison asked.
"...I don't think there is anything you can do to make anything better at all." Ponek sighed.
Alison puts her hand on her shoulder.
"Hey, it's okay. I'm sure your dad is happy right now wherever he is." Alison said.
"...Easy for you to say, considering your dad is alive." Ponek said.
"...Yeah, but it doesn't mean that I can't try to make you feel better....look, how about this, first thing tomorrow, we start looking for wherever your dad was buried. What do you say?" Alison asked.
Ponek looked at Alison.
"You're serious?" Ponek asked.
"Yeah. Mom and dad don't need to know about it, so we could just go and find out where your dad has been buried and there, you can what you wanted to tell him." Alison said.
"...That...sounds good I guess...we could do that...thanks Alison." Ponek said.
"Don't mention it. That's what friends are for, right?" Alison asked.
"...Yeah." Ponek said.
Sandra walked up to them.
"So, you two were okay while I was gone?" Sandra asked.
"Yeah...we should probably go back to the orphanage right now before mom starts getting worried." Alison said.
"Sure." Sandra said.
Ponek finished her rice ball and the three of them walked out of the village and went to the orphanage.
At the orphanage, Tarus was right in front of the door, seemed to be waiting for someone. His face now back to how it was before he turned into Hastur, along with his green skin and he was wearing a black sweater along with some black pants. And also had a robotic arm like Lucia.
The three girls arrived back at the orphanage.
Tarus walked up to the girls.
"You're back. I was getting worried for a moment." Tarus said.
"Hi, dad." Alison said.
"Hi, Lucien." Sandra said.
Ponek just waved.
"So, any luck with the hunting?" Alison asked.
"No, unfortunately. That deer always manages to escape everytime I catch up to it." Tarus said.
"That sucks I guess." Ponek shrugged.
"So, did you bring what your mother requested, Alison?" Tarus asked.
"Yup." Alison said, gesturing to her bag.
"Okay. Let's go inside, your mother will be making some meatballs to make up for that lost deer." Tarus said.
"Cool." Alison said.
Alison and Tarus walked into the orphanage.
"I'm not that hungry really." Sandra said.
Sandra walked in next before being followed by Ponek.
It cuts to Tarus, Lucia, Alison, Ponek and Sandra at the table, eating dinner.
It was pretty quiet at first.
"...So...how was today for you girls?" Lucia asked, trying to make conversation.
"...Peachy." Sandra said.
Ponek din't say anything.
"It was okay." Alison said.
"...I see." Lucia said.
"You three din't run into trouble, did you?" Tarus asked.
"No, dad, we din't. You can stop being so worried about it." Alison said.
"I was just asking, that's all." Tarus said.
"Any ideas about what you three are gonna for tomorrow?" Lucia asked.
"Me, Ponek and Sandra will go around and...explore." Alison said.
"...Explore what?" Tarus asked.
"...Stuff." Ponek shrugged.
"Yeah." Sandra said.
"...Okay then." Lucia said, raising an eyebrow.
"...Well, thanks for dinner. I'm going to sleep. You two coming?" Ponek asked.
"Yeah. Good night." Sandra said, getting up and following Ponek.
"I'm going into my bed too. I'm pretty tired. Goodnight mom and dad." Alison said.
"Goodnight, my little angel." Tarus smiled.
"Goodnight Alison. And goodnight...Victor." Lucia said.
Victor nodded as Alison went upstairs to go into her room.
"...Those three were definitely lying." Tarus said.
"...Hmm. Indeed. As long as they aren't getting themselves in danger or anything, I guess they can do whatever they planned for tomorrow." Lucia said.
"I surely hope so for their sake." Tarus said.
"You shouldn't be too worried about it. They're almost adults. I'm sure they can take care of themselves." Lucia said.
"...I guess so." Tarus sighed.
"...Is there something wrong?" Lucia asked.
"...It's just...I have been getting some really bad dreams lately." Tarus said.
"Oh..." Lucia said.
"...The dreams mostly involved the champion somehow finding me here and wanting me dead. You get in his way and he stabbed you trying to get through me." Tarus sighed.
"...Oh...my." Lucia said.
"Yeah....I'm really worried about that actually happening...I really don't want to lose you aswell." Tarus said.
"...I'm sure he won't return here. If he was still trying to find you, he would of a long time ago. It's been 20 years or so since that fight happened. I'm pretty sure that guardian has other stuff to do than tracking you down." Lucia said.
"Maybe." Tarus said.
Lucia looked into her plate, sighing.
"....Not that you mention, I also happened to have a bad dream a few days ago." Lucia said.
"...What was it about?" Tarus asked.
"It...it was about Grant...he...grabbed Alison and he...did to her what he did to me before he just...ripped her leg off aswell." Lucia said, stuttering a bit.
Tarus puts his hand onto her's.
"...That won't happen. As long as I'm here." Tarus said.
"...I-I know...I just hope...I hope that our daughter won't go through the same horrible stuff that we went through...and suffer for it for the rest of her live." Lucia said.
"Even if it does, Alison is tough. She will be able to handle whatever happens in the future. I'm sure of it." Tarus said.
"....I guess....but, enough about that. Let's talk about something else." Lucia said.
"...Well, remember when you told me that the world hasn't recovered from the war at all and that the system is broken?" Tarus asked.
"...Yes. What about it?" Lucia asked.
"...Well, I have been thinking...with this world being pretty slow right now and with no one trying to take charge and fix all of this...I have been thinking about stepping up and try to fix the system and be a leader to these people." Tarus said.
Lucia looked surprised when she heard what he said.
"...Are...you sure that's a good idea?" Lucia asked.
"Of course it is. Why not?" Tarus asked.
"...Weeeeell....most of the people are pretty divided right now in small groups. and they probably want it to stay that way. It would take awhile to appease all the masses." Lucia said.
"I will find a way to make it work somehow." Tarus said.
"...Besides, even though you fixed your appearance, if people would find out that the leader of the village was the same man who attempted to take over this world and accidently blew half of it to nothingness, it would turn into a huge mess immediately. That's why I'm uncertain if that's a good idea." Lucia said.
"...Yeah...but as long as they don't know, it will be okay." Tarus said.
"If you say so..." Lucia shrugged.
"...I want to make this world into a better one. Not just for Alison, but for everyone in this village. If I failed to make peace for all the ends, the best thing I can do to atone for my sins is to make this world how to it was back then and will not fail this time. I promise you that." Tarus said.
"...You don't need to do that just to redeem yourself but...if that's what you wish then...I'll be there to support you all the way." Lucia smiled.
Tarus smiled at her.
"...Thank you...Lucia." Tarus said.
"Don't mention it." Lucia smiled.
Alison was back in her room, putting on her pajamas.
She turned to Victor who was back in his fish tank.
"Well, Victor, we'll have a long day tomorrow so we should try to get some sleep and do our best to find wherever Ponek's dad was buried." Alison said.
Victor nodded.
Alison turned off the lights and got in her bed.
"Nighty-night, Victor." Alison said.
Victor sat down and closed his eyes.
Alison slowly closed her eyes.
"And that was the end of another normal day for me and my family. Tomorrow, we will go to find out where Ponek's dad's grave is...but for some reason...I keep getting a nasty feeling...a feeling that something bad is gonna happen very soon." Alison said.
It cuts to outer space.
A portal suddenly opened up and a large Neonytian ship merged out of it and it closed.
Inside the ship were three Neonytes. One was female, with long black hair, wearing a black shirt with long sleeves and a cape but her chest was covered by black armor, along with armore'd shoulder pads and with black pants. The next one was also female, with yellow hair with ponytail, wearing a black sleeveless shirt with a Neonytian symbol on it, carrying a sharp sword and had yellow pants. The third one was male and had short black hair, wearing a blue jacket and brown pants. He looked pretty worried for some reason. The three of them were adults but the first one was older than the other two.
"So, this is it, right?" The second Neonyte asked.
"Yup. The universe where that maniac has been hiding all this time." The first Neonyte said.
"How are you even so sure? What is even your evidence that Hastur is still alive and well and that he is in this world apparently, on a different Earth?" The third Neonyte asked.
"I told you many fucking times that I know how thanks to that giant computer thing that miss Famewhore had with her." The first one said, pointing at the huge computer in the middle of the room, which was of course, the Paradox Machine.
"...How did you even get it?" The third one asked.
"I stole it, duh. While Miss Famous was getting a relaxing massage, I got in her room and tinkered with the computer thing a bit and discovered that bitch lied about killing Hastur herself and she did it to get all the glory and praises for everyone. It's some kinda of a time-travelling computer thing or something that can look into the past and the future." The first one said.
"...And how did you discover that Hastur is still alive?" The second asked.
"Simple." The first one said.
The girl pressed some buttons and it showed the showdown with Hastur, Omalley, Ryo, Angel, Hikari and Axel. It shows the part where Hastur's armor gets destroyed, he has a breakdown and when Omalley walked up to him, offering him a chance of redemption, he ran off and pressed the buttons to teleport himself out of there.
"....Huh, where did he go?" The third Neonyte asked.
The first one pressed a button and it showed the Frozen planet. It shows Hastur unconscious, near the orphanage and Lucia opened the door, dragging him inside. Then showed the conversation between her and Hastur and with him moving into the village.
"...So, Neptune din't kill him after all." The second one said, looking angry.
"Yup. I knew she was a liar from the start. Now, this is current him, right now." The first one said.
She pressed a few buttons and now we see Tarus and Lucia in their room.
"...He...looks different. Plastic surgery I guess?" Third Neonyte said.
"Eitherway, that bitch lied and he is still alive. And he also has a kid aswell." The first one said.
"...So, what do you want us to do about him, Freya?" The third one asked.
"We kill him. Simple as that. And then we bring in his corpse and expose Neptune's lies in front of everyone." Freya said.
"...I think it would be much better if we bring him back alive so then the others can see him and find out that Neptune has been lying. If we bring him back death, she could easily say that we dugged up his corpse from wherever she buried him." The second one said.
"I guess we could do that too." Freya shrugged.
"So, he is on Earth?" The third one asked.
"A different one apparently. It's been Frozen for like forever now." Freya said.
She turned to the two Neonytes.
"So, are you two up for this?" Freya asked.
She turned to the second Neonyte.
"Valkyrie?" Freya asked.
"....Hastur's soldiers killed my father back in the invasion. I want to make him pay for that." Valkyrie said.
"That's the spirit. Miguel?" Freya asked the male.
"...I...could really care less about Hastur if I have to be honest. Look, I already put myself in a shitty position by stealing my dad's ship and bring it in here. If he doesn't find it back home and finds out that I stole it, what he will do to me will be much worse than what Hastur did to us!" Miguel said.
"Dude, you will come back home with the genocidal murderer. You will be seen as a hero by everyone, the same people who treated you like shit just because your blood type isn't as special as everyone else's. Don't you want your dad to finally start respecting you for once and have him be proud of you? He won't be upset about you stealing his ship once he finds out you used it to bring the killer to justice." Freya said.
Miguel thought about it for a few seconds.
"...I...guess you have a good point there....alright, I'm in." Miguel said.
"Good. While we are there, I guess I can spare some of time finding the Omnipotents of this world and having a fun time slaughtering their asses." Freya said.
"...That will just give out some unwarranted attention and make us look like the murderers. Besides, we want Hastur, not the Omnipotents." Valkyrie said.
"I don't give a fuck. These Omnipotent bastards are the reason why my dad is dead and wasn't there for me. He wanted to save our race from those destructive assholes and they got him in the end." Freya said.
"...Um, from what dad said about your father, most people in the army din't seem to like him very much." Miguel said.
"Because they are jealous pricks just like that bitch Neptune, they make him seem like the bad guy but ignore the fact that he did his best to save us from destruction and they spit on his grave. I will erase each and every Omnipotent from any universe." Freya said.
"....I...really don't want to hurt any innocent people." Miguel said.
"You won't. You will only hurt Hastur and that's it. Now stop being a chicken about it." Freya said.
Miguel just simply sighed.
"So, are we gonna strike soon?" Valkyrie asked.
"Yeah. Hastur will find out what happens when you fuck with the Neonytes. And that bitch will also learn what happens when you lie about killing the most infamous tyrant just for the sake of glory. Now, set course to planet Earth." Freya said.
The ship flew off, it's destination: Earth.
TO BE CONTINUED.

Sins of the Fathers
Part 2
It cuts to the next day
In the orphanage.
Alison was in the hallway, with Victor on her shoulder, waiting for Ponek and Sandra to get out.
Ponek and Sandra eventually walked out of their rooms.
"Morning." Alison said.
"Morning." Sandra said.
"Yeah." Ponek said.
"So, are you two ready to head out?" Alison asked.
Sandra nodded as so did Ponek, though a bit slowly.
"Well, let's go." Alison said.
"Shouldn't we tell your parents about where we are going?" Sandra asked.
"If we did, then they would try to stop us so, best not to tell them anything." Alison said.
"Okay then." Ponek said.
The three girls marched downstairs and entered in the kitchen.
Lucia was there, making breakfast and Tarus was sitting on a chair, looking at the news.
Lucia turned to the girls.
"Morning girls. Did you sleep well?" Lucia asked.
The three nodded.
Alison turned to Tarus.
"So, aren't you going out to hunt today, dad?" Alison asked.
"No, today I'm focusing on something else this time." Tarus said.
"Like what?" Ponek asked.
"It's nothing important." Tarus said.
"I prepared breakfast for the three of you. Go ahead and eat." Lucia said.
The three of them sat down and began to eat.
After finishing their breakfast, the three got up.
"...So, me, Ponek and Sandra are gonna and explore in the forest a bit so...expect us to come back tonight." Alison said.
"Okay, but do not get yourselves in something dangerous or get injured, alright?" Lucia asked.
"We will, mom." Alison nodded.
The trio walked out of the orphanage.
Lucia turned to Tarus.
"Do you think they'll be alright?" Lucia asked.
"Most likely. Alison has the same power as me and Ponek is also a Omnipotent, so we won't have to worry about them having any troubles with polar bears or anything else." Tarus said.
"I wasn't necessarily talking about polar bears." Lucia said.
"Either way, I'm sure they can handle any danger out there." Tarus said.
Lucia nodded.
Alison, Ponek and Sandra were walking down the hill.
"...So, where do we go from here? How are we gonna find where Ponek's dad was buried at?" Sandra asked.
"I'm sure he wasn't buried in the village so chances are, maybe his grave is somewhere outside the village." Alison said.
"...The place I used to live is probably outside the village. So, maybe we could go and check it out?" Ponek asked, having a hard time remembering where she used to live at.
"Yeah. Maybe there is a cemetery there and see if your dad was buried there. You still remember his name, right?" Alison asked.
"Duh." Ponek deadpanned.
"What are we waiting for then? Let's go." Sandra said.
Alison, Ponek and Sandra continued their path before going towards a new direction, leading them out of the village completely.
It cuts to the destroyed part of the village.
Freya, Valkyrie and Miguel appeared in that part of the village.
The three of them looked around.
"...Huh, what a dump. No wonder Hastur would hide in here, no one bother to check a dump like this." Freya said.
"According to the schematics of this place, there is atleast a part of the village that is currently active." Valkyrie said.
"What happened to this place?" Miguel asked.
"A war happened and most of the place got destroyed. Atleast that's what the info I got said." Valkyrie shrugged.
"Let's go and search for Hastur." Freya said.
"We would probably have more advantage if we split up and try to find him on our own instead of searching the three of us together." Valkyrie said.
"How do we do that?" Miguel asked.
Valkyrie pulled a sort of a scanner from her pocket and waved it around.
"...The scanner shows atleast 6 Omnipotents in this place. One over here, two others there and three more here." Valkyrie said, pointing at Mont's house, Noel's ice castle and the Dome.
"So?" Miguel asked.
"Well, we could ask any of the Omnipotents where Hastur is, if they know that is." Valkyrie said.
"Or beat the shit out of them to make them talk." Freya said.
"...We would only have to do that if we have no choice." Valkyrie said.
"Whatever. I'm gonna to the place where the three Omnipotents are." Freya said, pointing at the Dome.
"I'll will go and find Hastur's child. Obviously she would know more about her father's whereabouts." Valkyrie said.
"...So, what do I do?" Miguel asked.
"You go and find the other Omnipotents from the village and ask around. Or, try to find Hastur on your own if you want, but alert us immediately if you do." Valkyrie said.
"Sure thing." Miguel said.
"Let's get to work." Freya said as she walked away.
Valkyrie just teleported out of there.
Miguel was kinda just awkwardly standing there, looking around.
"....I hope I'm doing the right thing here." Miguel sighed.
Miguel walked out of the destroyed part of the village.
He arrived at the active part of the village, trying to find a Omnipotent to talk.
Some of the villagers looked at Miguel, looking reasonably confused by his existence, aswell as his lack of nose.
Miguel just continued walking, trying to ignore the awkward stares thrown in his way.
He eventually arrived at Mont's house.
"This is the house of one of those Omnipotents shown on Valkyrie's scanner. Well, might aswell knock on it." Miguel sighed.
Miguel knocked on the door, hoping for a response.
A few seconds later, Mont opened the door and looked confused.
"...Um, hello?" Mont guessed.
"...Hi." Miguel said.
"...You...are a Neonyte, correct?" Mont asked.
"Yup. And you are Omnipotent, right?" Miguel asked.
"...Yeah, I am. My name is Mont." Mont said.
"I'm Miguel." Miguel said.
"Nice to meet you, Miguel...um, you are not here to inhabit our village or anything, are you?" Mont asked.
"No...Me and my friends are here to find someone actually." Miguel said.
"Who?" Mont asked.
"...I should probably talk about it inside your house...if you don't mind." Miguel said.
"...Um, sure...as long as you don't plan on killing me or anything, right?" Mont asked.
"No." Miguel said.
"Oh, oh, that's good then. Come inside then." Mont smiled.
"...Sure." Miguel shrugged, walking inside the house.
We cut to the orphanage trio.
The three of them were now in a frozen abandoned city.
Alison was looking around the place, seeing buildings with giant ice sickles coming out of them, and there were many abandoned vehicles on the road.
"...This place kinda creeps me out a bit actually." Sandra said.
"....Yeah." Alison said.
Ponek, for some reason, looked a bit pale then usual.
Alison turned to Ponek.
"...Ponek, are you okay?" Alison asked.
"...It's just a slight headache, that's all." Ponek said, immediately shrugging it off.
"...Well, if you say so." Alison said.
"Yeah, let's just keep looking for my dad's grave." Ponek said.
"It's gonna be hard finding it in this damn wreck." Sandra said, who was in front of a abandoned newsstand.
She shook it a bit and it falls apart completely.
"...Yeah, as I said, a damn wreck." Sandra said.
Valkyrie teleported in the destroyed city.
She looked around the area before she noticed the three, walking towards their direction.
Ponek coughed a bit before she heard Valkyrie's footsteps.
She quickly turned around and raised her eyebrows slightly when looking at Valkyrie.
"...Guys, we have company." Ponek said.
Alison and Sandra turned around and saw Valkyrie.
Alison looked shocked while Sandra looked confused.
"...Hello there." Valkyrie smiled.
"...It's a Neonyte...what is she doing here?" Alison asked in her mind.
"....So, who are you and what are you doing here?" Ponek asked.
"More importantly, where is your nose?" Sandra asked.
Valkyrie just frowned before looking at Alison.
"...I could ask you three the same question aswell." Valkyrie said.
"It's none of your business." Sandra said.
"Sandra, don't be rude to her." Alison said.
She looked at Valkyrie.
"Sorry, my friend here is a bit rude when it comes to strangers." Alison said.
"I can see." Valkyrie said.
"Wait to take my side, Alison." Sandra sarcastically said.
"Anyway, what are you doing here?" Alison asked.
"...I'm looking for someone." Valkyrie said.
"And that someone is?" Ponek asked.
"...The Omnipotent of Fear. Hastur." Valkyrie said.
Alison froze the moment she heard saying 'Hastur'
"....Oh...fuck." Alison said in her mind.
Ponek looked at Alison.
"...Ali...are you okay?" Ponek asked.
"...Ugh...yeah, I am..." Alison said.
"Hastur? Isn't that guy dead?" Sandra asked.
"That's what I believed at the time but apparently, he isn't. In fact, he is actually hiding in this world." Valkyrie said.
Alison looked pale upon hearing this.
"...How did these guys find out? How?" Alison asked in her mind.
"...So, you're telling me that Space Hitler is actually still alive and he is here?...You clearly must be delusional." Sandra said.
"...I can assure you that I'm not. Now then, with that said, I have some questions for the three of you." Valkyrie said.
"We are kinda busy at the moment right now." Ponek said.
"...Yeah...that's right...in fact, we have to go somewhere else now." Alison said.
She grabbed both Ponek and Sandra by their hands and began to dragging them a distance away from Valkyrie.
"Alison, what the hell?" Sandra asked.
"That lady over there is a Neonyte." Alison said.
"Neonyte? The hell is that?" Sandra asked.
"Mont kinda mentioned them a few times. They are like super aliens who's powers come from their blood, right?" Ponek asked.
"Yeah. We should probably just ignore her cause if we anger her, it won't be pretty for any of us. We should continue finding Ponek's dad's grave." Alison said.
"...Okay then. There must be a cemetery in here somewhere. We can go and search for his grave there." Sandra said.
"That sounds like *cough* like a good idea." Ponek said.
Sandra looked at Ponek, confused about her suddenly coughing.
"...Well, let's go." Alison said.
The trio walked away. While they weren't looking, they were being followed by Valkyrie from a safe distance.
It cuts now to the dome.
Dilon, Naan and Sanar were practicing in there as usual.
"Alright then, Sanar, it's time to put your powers into practice for a bit before we focus on Naan. Your powers can be useful when it comes to intel or finding out what the enemy will attempt to do. Do you understand?" Dilon asked.
Sanar just nodded.
"Good. Now, first thing's first, try to use your power to detect any thoughts from a large distance, or atleast nearby. Go ahead." Dilon said.
"...Um sure." Sanar said.
Sanar just closed her eyes as she began to concentrate and try to sense something...and...
"This must be the place those three Omni bastards. I'll ask them if they know where Hastur is and if they try to play dumb or prove to be useless, I shall dispose of them. I don't care what Valkyrie said, I want to eliminate all the Omnipotents and make them pay for what they did to my father." Freya thought
"EEP!" Sanar eep'd, opening her eyes.
"Child, what's wrong?" Dilon asked.
"...Um, I managed to sense a thought coming from nearby...and it's not good." Sanar said.
"What is it?" Dilon asked.
"...Well...see for it yourself." Sanar said.
She transmitted Freya's thought in Dilon's head...and he din't look happy at all.
"...Looks like someone has a burning hatred for Omnipotents and is looking for a fight...what was she talking about Hastur?" Dilon asked.
"...Um, what?" Naan asked, looking confused.
"I think she is gonna walk into the dome any second now." Sanar said.
"...First, we should try to talk to her first. But if she is not willing to listen and everything goes south...I want you two to stay back and let me handle this. Got it?" Dilon asked.
The girls nodded.
Dilon just turned around and waited for Freya's arrival.
Freya just kicked the door opened as she walked into the dome and noticed the three Omnis. Looked a little surprised when she saw that two of them were kids but her expression immediately changed back to normal before walking up to Dilon.
"...This girl definitely isn't human. She looks like those aliens from one of Mont's books." Dilon said in his mind. Of course, his thought was immediately caught on by Sanar.
Dilon stared at Freya.
"...Can I help you?" Dilon asked.
"Yeah...don't bullshit me or you're dead." Freya said.
Naan hid behind Sanar who looked a bit scared by Freya.
"What do you want?" Dilon asked.
"Hastur. Where is he?" Freya asked.
"...He is dead. Isn't he?" Dilon asked.
"...Either you're playing dumb or you're just useless....probably both." Freya said.
"Look, I don't know who you are, but whatever hatred you have for the Omnipotents, we never did anything to you." Dilon said.
"Maybe so. But your existence is the reason why my father is dead. I shall avenge his death by destroying all the Omnipotents from every universe. Hastur included." Freya said.
"If you want to fight, then fight me, but leave the girls out of this! They have nothing to do with your insane quest!" Dilon said.
"...With pleasure." Freya said.
She pulled a sword handle out of her pocket, with a button on it. She pressed the button and a laser shaped sword popped out of the handle, resembling a lightsaber a bit.
She aimed the laser sword at Dilon.
"You first, gramps." Freya said.
Dilon just stood there and looked back at Sanar and Naan, gesturing them to stay away from the battle.
Sanar and Naan move to a safe distance from the fight.
Dilon waited for Freya's attack.
"...Alright then, I'll start!" Freya said.
Freya charged at Dilon with her sword and when he stomped the ground, Freya was immediately pulled to the ceiling along with her sword.
"What the!?" Freya asked.
Freya attempted to detach herself from the ceiling but no luck.
"It's useless. My power is Gravity. The only way I'll let you off the ceiling is you quit right now while you are ahead." Dilon said.
"Is that supposed to be funny? Cause I'm not laughing!" Freya said.
Freya then looked at the ground and most of the ground was covered in snow, not seeing any rocks so it seems like her power might not be very useful in this area.
Her eyes glew yellow before looking at the ground, right between Dilon's legs.
The ground suddenly began to shake, much to three Omni's confusion.
The ground started to crack in half, right between Dilon's legs.
Dilon immediately noticed that.
"OH, CRAP!" Dilon yelled.
He jumped out of the way before he could fall into the pit.
This caused his to lose concentration and Freya was now unstuck and was landing right towards Dilon, aiming her sword at his chest.
Dilon dodged her attack quickly and just dodged most of her stabs.
Freya's sword suddenly flew right into the ceiling and it's stuck in there, thanks to Dilon.
Dilon then punched Freya right in the face, knocking her on the ground.
Freya puts her hand on her face before looking at Dilon, and then at her sword in the ceiling. She smiled.
"...Heh, you are good. I din't expect you to be that hard to kill. Well then, now I'll have to play dirty in order to kill you now." Freya said.
Freya then suddenly teleported out of there.
The three looked confused.
"Where did she go?" Dilon asked, looking around.
Sanar and Naan try to spot Freya.
Freya teleported onto the ceiling, grabbed her sword and teleported again.
She teleported right behind Dilon and stabbed him right in his back.
"AH! SHIT!" Dilon yelled.
"DILON!" Naan yelled.
Dilon attempted to punch her but she teleported before he could.
She teleported behind him again and stabbed him in the leg before teleporting again.
Dilon grabbed his leg in pain.
Sanar immediately used her power to try to sense Freya's thoughts, to find out where she is gonna strike next.
"Okay, I should teleport just one more time behind his back and this time slice his head off clean. This should be easy." Freya thought from wherever she is.
"I got it!" Sanar declared.
Sanar immediately transmitted Freya's thought in Dilon's head.
"Good job, child!" Dilon smiled.
Freya teleported right behind Dilon and she got smacked in the face immediately, knocking her on the ground.
She looked surprised.
"Huh, how did you...? Ugh, never mind!" Freya said.
Freya teleported out of there.
"Sanar, where is she gonna strike next?" Dilon asked.
Sanar just picked up Freya's next thought before transmitting it to Dilon.
She appeared in midair and was landing towards Dilon, ready to stab him in the head.
Dilon, who expected that, used his gravity power and stopped Freya's landing and quickly smacked her into the ceiling again.
We cut back to Miguel and Mont.
Miguel was mostly looking around in Mont's room, looking lots of stuff laying on the ground, aswell as some files.
Mont entered in the room.
"Sorry for the mess, I din't expect a visitor...especially one from outer space." Mont said.
Miguel looked some files, including Neonytian ones.
"...You have files about us?" Miguel asked.
"Well, of course. I also have a book containing the details about your blood types. It proves useful in case some bad Neonytes here show up to inhabit our world or cause chaos...of course, I'm not saying that you are one of those bad ones or anything like that." Mont said, nervously laughing.
Miguel raised an eyebrow at him.
"....Uh, sorry if I offended you or anything." Mont said.
"...It's okay." Miguel shrugged.
"...So, what's your blood type anyways?" Mont asked.
"...Dried-Orange." Miguel sighed.
"....Huh, dried-orange? That blood type-"
"Is the blood of the useless." Miguel sighed.
"...Excuse me?" Mont asked, confused.
"....Guys that I hang around with on my planet look down on me just because my blood is Dried-Orange and it isn't as useful or powerful like Red, Purple, Lime, Blue, or other blood types out there. Even my dad thinks I'm useless and wishes that I was born with useful blood." Miguel said.
"...Technically...it isn't useless as they think." Mont said.
"Wait, really?" Miguel asked.
"Yeah. I think I have a file about that...ugh, just hold on a second." Mont said.
Mont checked under his bed and pulled some random stuff out including a laser gun, a visor, magazine, photo album, a plushie and other sorts of random crap.
"Ah, here it is." Mont smiled, holding the file about dried-orange blood type.
Miguel took the file and opened it.
"...Huh." Miguel said, while checking through the file.
Meanwhile, with Alison, Ponek and Sandra.
They were currently at the cemetery now. Most of the area was covered in snow and most of the tombstones looked pretty frozen.
Victor was mostly looking walking around the tombstones, sniffing around.
Alison looked at some tombstones, trying to see if Ponek's dad's name is on them.
"...I don't see your dad's name on any of these tombstones." Alison said.
"His grave has to be *cough* around here somewhere." Ponek said.
Sandra was looking at the tombstones.
"Did you find it, Sandra?" Alison asked.
"...Nope." Sandra sighed.
Valkyrie was near the cemetery, mostly watching the girls before she decided to walk up to them.
Ponek was coughing a bit more, looking a bit sick actually.
Valkyrie was walking towards them.
Ponek immediately noticed her and turned to Valkyrie, looking annoyed.
"...You again?" Ponek asked.
"I believe I did say that I have some questions I want you three to answer." Valkyrie said.
Alison and Sandra turned to Valkyrie. Sandra rolled her eyes at her seeing her again but Alison looked concerned.
Valkyrie looked at Alison.
"Now then, first question, where is Hastur?" Valkyrie asked.
"...Um, how should I know?" Alison asked, trying to lie.
"...You are a terrible liar." Valkyrie said.
"What, I'm not lying. I have no clue where Hastur is." Alison said.
"...Sure." Valkyrie said, narrowing her eyes.
"Look, I don't care what you are looking for or why you are even here, so fuck off, will ya? We have something important here to do and you are just distracting us." Ponek said.
"...Distracting you from what exactly? Staring at tombstones? Atleast I have something more important to do than that." Valkyrie said.
Ponek looked pissed off as her eyes gained the pink Haze.
Alison looked at Ponek and could tell that a battle will ensue if she will punch Valkyrie.
Sandra looked angry at Valkyrie as she walked up to her.
"Look lady, you could be Super Alien Jesus for all I care about, but don't come here and tell us that what we are doing right now is not as important as you wandering around and trying to find a dead guy okay? So leave us the fuck alone or you'll go back on your home planet with a black eye." Sandra threatened.
Valkyrie just glared at Sandra, resisting the urge to grab her sword.
"...Fine." Valkyrie said, suddenly disappearing.
Alison sighed in relief before she walked up to Sandra.
"Are you nuts!? Do you know what she could of done to us-"
"I don't care, that bitch has no right to come around here and tell us that we are wasting our time, because we aren't." Sandra said.
"...Let's just fucking continue. Hopefully she won't come back." Ponek said.
Sandra nodded as she continued looking for the tombstone.
Alison just looked around and sighed.
"....I have to tell mom and dad about this once we get back to the orphanage." Alison said in her mind.
Alison continued her search aswell and Valkyrie was seen in a bush, still watching them.
Back in the Dome.
Dilon was dodging most of Freya's stabs.
Freya eventually managed to stab him in the arm with her laser sword.
Sanar turned to Naan.
"Naan, you have to use your reflections to help Dilon!" Sanar said.
"Uh-h, I'll try!" Naan said.
Naan immediately looked at a puddle near her and a relfectnaan bursted out of the puddle and tackled Freya.
Freya just grabbed the reflectnaan and cuts in half, but since it was made out of the puddle, Freya was now covered in water.
"Yuck!" Freya said.
Dilon turned to Naan.
"Child, you could do more than that! Do what you did yesterday, with my reflection, remember!?" Dilon asked.
"Oh-h, right!" Naan said.
Freya teleported again and then teleported behind Dilon again, but thanks to Sanar, he expected this attack and blocked her sword from hitting him.
Naan summoned more reflections of herself, along with reflectDilon.
The army of reflects attacked Freya, hitting her.
Freya just chopped most of the reflects in half before she got punched in the face by reflectDilon.
Freya chopped reflectDilon's head off.
While more reflects were being spawned and were attacking Freya, Naan tried to find Freya's reflection and make a reflect out of her.
She eventually found her reflection and a reflectFreya appeared out of the puddle.
The reflectFreya stabbed Freya right in the back, surprising her.
"SHIT!" Freya said.
Freya tried to stab her reflect but the reflect blocked her attack with her own sword.
This gave the reflects an opportunity to attack Freya some more.
More reflects popped up and began pummeling Freya.
Dilon used his power and levitated Freya out of the reflect mob and smacks her on the ceiling.
Freya looked pretty damaged by all the attacks from the reflections.
Dilon saw this and then released his power over Freya and she painfully landed on the ground.
"Ugh....shit." Freya said, struggling to get up.
"Had enough?" Dilon asked.
Freya slowly got up, glaring at Dilon.
"....Well, looks like I screwed up the pooch on this one. Alright, you won this match...but the war is far from over. I will succeed in killing you and all the Omnipotents, and you will not stop us from finding Hastur!" Freya said.
Freya teleported out of the dome.
Dilon sighed in irritation.
Sanar just sighed in relief while Naan made all the reflections go back in the puddle.
The Omnipotent kids ran to Dilon.
"Are you okay?" Sanar asked.
"Yup. Just some bruises and cuts. Nothing that Mont can't fix." Dilon smiled.
"I'm just glad none of us died." Naan said.
"Indeed. Though, I'm afraid that woman is gonna come back to finish the job, but with her friends this time. You two did a good job in that battle, I'm very proud of you two." Dilon smiled.
"I did what I could." Sanar said.
Naan just nodded.
"Come on. The others need to know about this." Dilon said.
Back with the orphanage trio.
Ponek looked even more paler as she was coughing up a storm.
"Ponek?" Alison asked, with Victor on her shoulder.
Ponek turned to Alison.
"D-did you find it?" Ponek asked.
"No. I'm sorry." Alison sighed.
Ponek just looked at the ground.
"...Shit." Ponek said.
Sandra walked up to them aswell.
"Well?" Ponek asked.
"Din't find his tombstone anywhere. I don't think he was buried here." Sandra said.
"Or if he was buried at all." Alison said.
Ponek just looked at the ground, looking like she was about to cry.
She turned around and walked up to a tombstone, looking at it.
"....SON OF A BITCH!" Ponek yelled.
She angrily kicked the tombstone, breaking it in pieces.
This surprised Alison and Sandra. Victor however was scared and got in Alison's pocket.
"Ponek, calm down!" Alison said.
"...It's...it's just not fair...it's not fair at all." Ponek said.
Alison walked up to Ponek, putting her hand on her shoulder
"It's okay, we're here for you." Alison said.
Ponek just sniffed in response.
Sandra looked around.
"...We should probably go back to the orphanage now. That alien bitch might come back." Sandra said.
"I agree. Ponek?" Alison asked.
Ponek just continued coughing before she fell on her knees, much to her friend's shock.
"PONEK!" Alison yelled.
Sandra ran up to Ponek.
"Shit, are you okay!? What's wrong with you!?" Sandra asked.
"...I...I think *cough*...I must of caught something from that guy from yesterday...when I looked at him, I felt...*cough*...weird...almost sick." Ponek said.
Alison puts her hand on Ponek's forehead.
"Jesus, you're burning!" Alison said.
Alison turned to Sandra.
"We have to go to the village and take her to Mont, he can get rid of her sickness quickly!" Alison said.
"Ugh, yeah! Come on!" Sandra said.
Alison and Sandra helped Ponek to get up and helped her to walk, walking out of the cemetery.
Valkyrie walked out of a bush, raising an eyebrow.
"...That was odd." Valkyrie said.
Valkyrie's transceiver was ringing before she picked it up and answered.
"Yes?" Valkyrie asked.
"It's me, Freya. I'm back in the ship and I could use your healing power right now." Freya said.
"What happened?" Valkyrie asked.
"I fought against those Omni-twats and they were more powerful than I expected and I had to run." Freya said.
"Goddamnit, I told you not to fight them!...I'll call Miguel and we'll be there in a few seconds." Valkyrie said.
"Kay." Freya said.
Valkyrie puts her transceiever back in her pocket.
"...We'll have to come up with a new plan now thanks to Freya's idiocy." Valkyrie said.
Valkyrie teleported out of there.
Back at Mont's place, Miguel was done reading the file.
"Huh, even I din't know we could that. Thanks for the info." Miguel said.
"Don't mention it....so, you said that you were trying to find someone right? Who is it?" Mont asked.
"...Well, we are looking for this guy named Hastur and-"
His transceiver began ringing.
Miguel picked it up.
"Yeah?" Miguel asked.
"Miguel, we are going back to the ship. Freya screwed up big time. The search for Hastur can wait. For now, go back to the ship." Valkyrie said.
Miguel sighed before looking at Mont.
"...I have to go back to the others. Thanks again for the file." Miguel said.
Miguel teleported himself out of the house.
Mont just blinked a few times.
"....Okaaay...that was awkward....wait, did he just say Hastur!?" Mont asked.
A hour passed but Alison, Sandra and the sick Ponek arrived back at the village, they were right at the entrance.
"We made it just in time. Let's find Mont before her illness gets worse." Alison said.
"Right. Do you know where he is?" Sandra asked.
"I know where his house is. Come on, let's go." Alison said.
Sandra nodded before continuing walking.
At the entrance of the castle. Dilon, Sanar and Naan were there, talking with Noel and Nonias.
"None of the kids got hurt, right?" Nonias asked.
"No. Thankfully, she only focused on me and with their help, I managed to beat her but she escaped." Dilon said.
"So, she is one of those...Neonyte guys right?" Noel asked.
"Seems like it. Mont knows more about them, we should ask him." Dilon said.
"I think we should have a meeting and discuss this anyways." Nonias said.
"Yeah." Sanar said.
The Orphanage trio were walking past the castle till they noticed the Omnipotents and walked up to them.
Noel looked at them and looked concerned when he saw Ponek.
"Woah, what's up with Ponek?" Noel asked.
"She is sick. We need Mont and fast!" Alison said.
"I'll go and get him!" Dilon said.
Dilon immediately ran off to where Mont is.
"So, did anything happen while we were away?" Sandra asked.
"Yeah, Dilon and the kids got attacked by a Neonyte." Noel said.
"A Neonyte?" Alison asked.
"Yeah. And the worst part is that there might be more of them. From what Dilon said, the one that attacked them has friends and they claim that they want Hastur." Noel said.
Alison's face turned pale when she heard that.
"I thought he was supposed to be dead." Nonias said.
"That's what I thought too. But I guess not." Noel sighed.
"...Shit." Alison said.
"Either way, let's wait for Mont to show up, help Ponek with...whatever she's got and then discuss what to do about this." Noel said.
"...Right." Alison sighed.
"And just like that, the situation changed from bad to worse. The Neonyte from before clearly isn't alone and has friends with her, and they are here for one thing: Revenge. I have to find a way to stop them from killing my dad and convince to let go of their revenge. I'll have to cooperate with the Omnipotents if I want to stop them from hurting my family, no matter what." Alison's voice narrated.

Sins of the Fathers
Part 3
Sometime later, in Noel's castle.
The Omnipotents, minus Mont and Ponek, were in their meeting room, along with Alison. Despite her not being Omnipotent(or atleast that's what they think), she was allowed to stay since she stated that she met one of the Neonytes and wants to make sure that Ponek is okay. Sandra was standing outside the castle.
They were sitting on their chairs, mostly waiting for news about Ponek.
Alison was looking at the table, looking pretty worried.
"Relax, Mont will get rid of Ponek's sickness quickly, you have nothing to worry about." Noel said.
"...I hope so." Alison sighed.
After a few minutes, Mont entered in the room.
"Sorry for the wait, it took me a bit to make a cure for Ponek." Mont said.
Alison immediately looked at Mont.
"Is she gonna be okay?" Alison asked.
"Yes, she will be. I gave her a little vaccine so in a few minutes, she will be fit as a fiddle. It seems like she caught this sickness from this Inun character that you guys told us about." Mont said.
"How is that even possible?" Alison asked.
"Well, since he is from some other dimension, and some universes have their own diseases and such and so, there is a chance he carried one of those diseases from his world over here and infected Ponek as a result. Or, atleast, that's what I think. But eitherway, Ponek is fine now." Mont said.
"Thank you, Mont. You're a lifesaver." Alison said.
Mont proudly folded his arms and smiled.
"Twas nothing." Mont said.
Ponek eventually walked into the meeting room aswell, looking more healthier this time but she din't exactly look happy for some reason.
"Are you okay, Ponek?" Alison asked.
"...Yeah...let's just start this meeting already." Ponek sighed, sitting down.
"Right...so, Neonytes." Mont said, sitting down.
"Besides the woman who attacked me, there is the Neonyte who visited Mont and the one that has been stalking Alison, Ponek and Sandra in...what where you three doing anyways?" Dilon asked.
"It's not important." Alison said.
Ponek looked irritated.
"Anyway, that makes three Neonytes we encountered. And their objective is apparently...to find Hastur." Nonias said.
"That's the part I don't get. How the hell can he still be alive after so many years? Everyone said that he was killed." Noel said.
"...Maybe someone got the details wrong?" Sanar guessed.
"Or someone lied in order to protect him." Dilon said.
"Who the hell want to protect the asshole who took over worlds with force and caused so much pain to everyone?" Noel asked.
Alison just looked at the ground.
"...I just hope they won't put two and two together very fast." Alison said in her mind.
"Well...despite Hastur's tyrannical reign, atleast one or two universes were happy with his 'protection', so maybe one of them made up those lies about him being dead?" Mont guessed.
"Or, maybe he is really dead but the Neonytes were misinformed perhaps." Nonias shrugged.
"If he is really alive and well and he is in our world, shouldn't we cooperate with those guys and help them find Hastur? We bring him to those Neonytes and they leave us alone. It's a Win-Win situation." Noel said.
Alison froze when she heard that. If they agree with him, that means she will have to be against them and she doesn't want that.
"I don't think they would simply leave even if they capture Hastur. That woman said that she wants to kill all Omnipotents, for something that happened to father apparently. So, we still might have to fight them either way, wether Hastur is captured or not." Dilon said.
"Yeah. That lady meant every word she said in the dome. She is scary." Naan said.
"Well, I guess we'll have to fight them off then." Noel shrugged.
Alison sighed in relief.
"Alison, are you okay?" Nonias asked.
"....Huh, oh, oh, yeah, I am." Alison said.
"You seemed to be thinking about something everytime we mention Hastur." Noel said.
"...Well...it's kinda unbelievable to hear that the guy who conquered worlds and ruined economies is still alive today. It's pretty crazy when you think about it, right?" Alison asked, hoping to make herself not look anymore suspicious.
"...Yeah, that's a fairpoint." Noel said.
"So, anyways, these Neonytes. Mont?" Dilon asked.
"Well, if we are gonna plan on fighting them, we have to make sure what their blood types are. They receive their powers thanks to their blood. Miguel said that his blood type is dried orange, so chances are he will be able to make clones or use any other abilities that is connected with his blood type." Mont said.
"We already have a little strong girl who can make hundreds of reflections of herself and others so we shouldn't worry about him very much." Dilon proudly smiled.
"...Um, thanks Dilon." Naan said.
"So, what abilities did the woman who you guys fought with used?" Mont asked.
"...Well, she had some sort of a laser sword and she kept teleporting around. When she stuck to the ceiling, she made the ground crack in half and Dilon almost fell into the pit." Sanar said.
"Hmm...that means she must have yellow blood since those with yellow blood have the power to control the Earth. Or Geokinesis. And, did the Neonyte you girls encountered show any powers?" Mont asked Alison.
"...Not really. She only had a sharp sword and I'm glad that she din't use to cut Sandra's head off with it when she insulted her...so I have no idea what blood type she might have." Alison said.
"Aha. Guess this means we'll have to be careful about the third one since we don't know what her blood type is and hopefully, it's anything but blue blood." Mont said.
"What's wrong with Blue Blood?" Sanar asked.
"...Weeell...those with blue power have the power to remove souls out of people's bodies and erase them for good...so, the chances of you either going to Heaven or Hell are pretty unlikely once your soul is gone." Mont said
Alison, Sanar and Naan look pretty terrified after hearing that.
"...Mont." Dilon angrily said.
"Oh, crap, sorry, sorry, sorry! Din't mean to say that!" Mont said.
"It's-s...it's okay...so, anything else we should know?" Alison asked.
"Yeah, if you piss them off, then they'll be more powerful than they were before. Heck, one blew up a different Earth in another dimension so...we should remember that when we encounter them if we don't want to move to a Meteor anytime soon." Mont said.
"....Right." Noel said.
"...So, what should we do? Should we try to find them or wait for them strike?" Nonias asked.
"Well, since they are Neonytes, chances are they are either in their spaceship or they teleported back to their home planet." Mont said.
"And without Nikolai, we can't exactly just teleport to wherever they are." Dilon said.
"...So, we'll wait for them to make their move?" Sanar guessed.
"Pretty much. They will most likely come back tomorrow to find Hastur so, they will probably try to find us first." Dilon said.
"Do we actually have a plan on how to deal with them exactly? From what Mont said, if we do one wrong thing, we could kiss our planet goodbye." Noel said.
"That's what I'm trying to think...tomorrow morning, all of us will gather at the castle and form a strategy plan before we fight the Neonytes." Dilon said.
Dilon looked at Mont.
"Mont, you keep trying to find any more details necessary to know about them. Any info helps." Dilon said.
"Roger that." Mont nodded.
"As for the rest of you, just be prepared for what tomorrow will bring. Are we clear?" Dilon asked.
"Sure." Noel said.
Sanar, Naan and Nonias just nodded.
Ponek din't say anything.
"So, I guess this concludes today's meeting?" Nonias asked.
"Yes. Meeting adjourned." Dilon said.
A wall of the castle opened up and the Omnis(except Noel and Nonias) and Alison left the room.
"...So. Fighting aliens. This should be interesting." Noel said.
"Guess so." Nonias said.
"....So...din't Alison act a bit weird to you?" Noel asked.
"How so?" Nonias asked.
"Everytime we mentioned Hastur, she went pale and looked a bit suspicious for some reason. You don't think she's hiding something, do you?" Noel asked.
"...I'm...honestly not sure. For all we know, she is probably terrified of Hastur actually being alive and planning to take over worlds again." Nonias said.
"...Maybe." Noel said, unsure.
"...Alison is definitely hiding something from us....there has to be a reason she acted so scared when she hears the name Hastur...and what do we actually know about this Lucien guy that Lucia paired up with?" Noel thought.
Outside the castle, the Omnipotents walked out of the castle and only Dilon, Mont, Sanar and Naan walked away except Alison and Ponek who met up with Sandra.
"Jesus, you had me worried there for a moment, Ponek. Are you okay now?" Sandra asked.
"...Yeah...I just want to go back to the orphanage now." Ponek said.
Ponek walked ahead of Alison and Sandra.
"...Do you think she is still sick?" Sandra asked.
"No. I think she is upset about her dad." Alison said.
"Ah...We should probably give her some space when we come back." Sandra said.
"...Yeah." Alison said.
Alison and Sandra followed Ponek, going back to the orphanage.
Later, at night.
In the orphanage, both Ponek and Sandra were in their rooms while Tarus, Lucia and Alison were in the living room, discussing about the Neonytes.
"This...Is not good." Lucia sighed.
"...How did they even find out that I'm still alive?" Tarus asked.
"I'm not sure. But, eitherway, now we'll have to deal with this somehow." Alison said.
Tarus sighed.
"...Can't believe this is happening." Tarus said.
"...Maybe you shouldn't of tried to slaughter all those Neonytes when you showed up in their world." Lucia said.
"I gave the Neonytes lots of chances before. I showed them mercy before when their rogue soldiers were causing mayhem in some worlds. But them blowing up a planet was the last straw. They had to be dealt, their existence was a threat not only to that universe, but to the entire multiverse aswell. One is capable of singlehandedly destroying an entire cosmos." Tarus said.
"Earth's explosion was caused by that guardian, or the champion as you referred him. I don't remember all the details, but from what I gathered, some Neonyte who was ill did something to offend him and despite them telling him to not even get involved and let them handle their own problems, instead, he attacked the girl regardless and her relative got killed during the clash. The girl did not take it well and they fought again. The Guardian killed her which made her friend mad and then he blew up Earth. And that's when you showed up. Even if a Neonyte did it, the guardian was responsible for that happening." Lucia said.
"...Even if that's true, it doesn't make them innocent. Before that situation, they inhabited worlds and even kicked the originals inhabitations out of their homes. And some planets got enslaved and been treated pretty badly by them. Like those plant creatures that I told you about once." Tarus said.
"...I'm not saying that they're the ultimate good, they most likely have their own bad seeds here and there, but it doesn't mean that the entire race is evil. You could of asked for an explanation of why that happened and try to reason with them and maybe set up some terms perhaps?" Lucia said.
"Reason? Neonytes are way too prideful to reason with, there's no way they would ever accept my terms or my ways." Tarus said.
"You don't know that. You could of atleast tried and see where it goes from there." Lucia said..
"...Are you saying this is all my fault? It's my fault that all of this is happening?" Tarus asked.
"No, I'm not saying that it is your fault, what I'm trying to say is that-"
"What did you want me to do? Give them the thumbs up and tell them that they're allowed to go around and find other worlds to inhabit, enslave more people and blow up planets whenever they are having a mental breakdown?" Tarus asked.
"WHAT I'M TRYING TO TELL YOU IS THAT YOU SHOULD OF BEEN MORE DAMN PATIENT AND NOT TRY TO MURDER THEM STRAIGHT AWAY! IF YOU DID THAT, YOU WOULDN'T HAVE A BULLSEYE ON YOUR HEAD RIGHT NOW!" Lucia snapped.
"STOP IT! BOTH OF YOU!" Alison yelled
Tarus and Lucia looked at Alison.
"It doesn't matter how this all started and who is responsible, they are here now regardless. Now let's stop bringing up the past and wondering how this could of been prevented cause it's pointless and the last thing I want to see today is my parents fighting about stupid shit!" Alison yelled.
Tarus looked at the ground and sighed.
"...I'm sorry." Tarus told Lucia.
"No, no...it's not your fault...I'm the one who started this argument...I should be apologizing." Lucia sighed.
"...Alison is right. What happened before is irrevelant now. We should focus on the present." Tarus said.
"...So...what's gonna happen?" Lucia asked.
"The Omnipotents are gonna try to form a strategy tomorrow on how we deal with the Neonytes. So, if we can't negotiate with them...we'll have to fight." Alison said.
"...And you and Peko are gonna get involved?" Lucia asked.
"...Yeah." Alison said.
"You two could get killed!" Lucia said.
"But if I don't do anything or even try to talk to them down, they'll come here and kill dad! They'll also kill you to get to him! I don't want that to happen!" Alison said.
"And I don't want to lose our only daughter and also lose another child that I promised to take care of!" Lucia said.
Alison looked at the ground.
"...Mom." Alison said.
Lucia sighed.
"....Alison, I-"
"I'll surrender myself." Tarus said.
Alison and Lucia looked shocked.
"Dad!?" Alison asked.
"You heard me. Putting you both in danger is not an option, and neither is waiting for them to come here and kill everyone in this place...they're after me after all so I might aswell prevent losing yet another family and let them take me and do whatever they want with me." Tarus sighed.
"Dad, come on, you can't do that! You can't give up your life just like that, there might be a way to prevent this!" Alison said.
"The Neonytes will never find it in their hearts to forgive me. I can't see any solution that will end with them leaving peacefully. I don't want to lose you both and be alone again...I won't be able to put up with that again." Tarus said.
"And I won't put up with losing my dad! You've been like a father to Ponek and Sandra aswell, you are the reason why mom even has a family right now! Do you know how she would feel if you die? Or how I would feel? You are very important to us, dad. You can't throw your life away." Alison said.
"...She...she's right. You can't throw your life away, Tarus. There has to be a way." Lucia said.
Tarus looked at them both and sighed.
"...I hope so." Tarus said.
"...Look, me and Ponek are going with the Omnipotents and we'll figure this out and find a way in which nobody has to die for nothing. Are we clear?" Alison asked.
Alison looked at Lucia.
"Mom?" Alison asked.
"...I...I...ugh...alright. You win, Alison...just...be careful, okay?" Lucia asked.
Alison nodded before looking at Tarus.
"...Promise me that you and Ponek come back alive. Promise me." Tarus said.
"I promise. I'm not planning on leaving my family anytime soon. Besides, Ponek tear a building apart with her power, I'm sure she can handle some Neonytes." Alison said.
"Heh." Tarus said.
"...You should probably go back to bed now, Alison." Lucia said.
"Okay...we will figure this out tomorrow, don't worry. Good night." Alison said.
Alison went upstairs to go into her room. Lucia sat down next to Tarus.
"...I put myself in a really bad situation, huh?" Tarus said.
"....We will get through this...I'm sure of that." Lucia said.
"...Hopefully." Tarus said.
"...If it will make you feel better, one of the orphans...Alicia, made a wish once. She wished that no bad would ever happen without something good un-badding it." Lucia said.
"And?" Tarus asked.
"Right now we are in a pretty bad situation...so, this means that some good will come out of it once it's over. The other wishes worked for the other orphans so chances are that Alicia's wish will come to fruition here aswell...But now that I think...and it might be far streched...but the wish might of had an effect on us aswell." Lucia said.
"Huh. How are you so sure?" Tarus asked.
"Well, both of our lives took a turn for the worse and we both lost our friends...but we both got better later on. This is the best example I can think of atleast." Lucia said.
"...I...din't think about it that way actually." Tarus said.
"Yeah...so, maybe all of this will end well in the end and no one will have to die." Lucia said.
"...If the wish worked before then...I guess everything might work out in the end." Tarus said.
"Exactly. That's what we can hope for anyways." Lucia smiled.
"...You know, thinking about this...takes me back those years ago when I was still trying to change back to my normal self...back when I tried to cut off my ties with the face of Hastur for good." Tarus said.
And a flashback happens.
Years ago, before Alison's birth and before Lucia and Tarus got their robo-arms, Tarus couldn't stay in the orphanage with Lucia because of his face and so he had to stay in the abandoned part of the village where no one can see him.
He was in his own house, with his old Hastur face, reading a book, trying to find a way to fix his normal face...but he couldn't seem to find a way.
"...IT'S NOT WORKING!" Tarus yelled.
Tarus angrily threw the book against the wall.
"I keep trying and trying and nothing is working! All these other attempts have failed and I still look like a monster!" Tarus yelled
He walked up to the wall and puts his head against it.
"...How can I be there for her when I'm stuck here because of this face? I can't be able to even look at her while looking like this...maybe I should just give up." Tarus said.
Tarus closed his eyes...before he suddenly got an idea.
"Wait a minute...my face is a manefestation of fear itself...I got it after my friends died...after my greatest fear was realized so...it all goes back to hear itself...that's it! The only way to change my appearance back to how it was...is to get rid of this fear of losing someone I care about it again...if I do this right...then I won't have to worry about people recognizing me as Hastur...and I'll be able to be there for Lucia." Tarus said.
Tarus then focusing, trying to use his power to bring out his fear and get rid of it for good.
Eventually, a being merged out of Tarus and landed on the floor.
The being got up and turned to Tarus. The being made out of Tarus's fears looked like Hastur, complete with his helmet and was glowing a dark aura.
Tarus stepped forward, looking at his own fear in the eyes.
"You...you are greatest fear come true...you are the only obstacle left standing in my way...the only thing connected me to my old self" Tarus said.
"Indeed...I'm the fear that plague'd your mind with doubt and despair...the fear that drove you to insanity and made you feel like you are the only who is capable of doing anything...the fear made you want to kill those Neonytes in the first place...and the fear...that will never go away and will always make you tremble." His fear said.
The Hastur fear being puts it's hand on the helmet and took it off, revealing his face...and it's Aro's.
"You can never get rid of me. Even if you get rid of me, a new fear will be born. You are the source of it after all." The fear being said.
"...Go away." Tarus said.
"Go away?...Hehehe. I will never go away. As long as you keep having nightmares of seeing your friends die again...and as long as you keep fearing the fact that you might lose this woman aswell. The woman that for some reason thinks that there is good inside you." His fear said.
"Be quiet!" Tarus said.
"You lost Lucien and you couldn't do anything to save him, you let your friends get killed by Aro, and caused many atrocities in this multiverse. Atrocities that no one will ever be able to forgive you for. Face it, one day this woman will die aswell, and you will go back to being Hastur again...and cause more fear and despair to others." His fear said.
"...I would really believe that...if I was still afraid." Tarus said.
"What?" His fear asked.
"...My fear is the reason why I went through all of this...the fear that my friend's dream would die and I did everything I could to accomplish it...but I failed in the end...and I wanted to die after that happened...I deserved to die for everything that I did...but...that woman...she gave a second chance...a chance to redeem myself. Without her, I wouldn't be here right now...so I owe her so much for that. And that's why I have to get rid of you. You are the only obstacle left in my way to re-become Tarus." Tarus said.
The fear being looked angry as it grabbed Tarus by his throat.
"Your chances of a normal life are zero! Tarus is dead, accept your destiny as Hastur! Accept your destiny as a murderer!" His fear said.
"...I...don't...think so!" Tarus said.
Tarus, while being choked, puts his hand on the being's chest. His hand suddenly began to slow.
The fear being's hand that was choking Hastur suddenly disintegrated, dropping Tarus
The beind's eyes's widened.
"No!" His fear said.
The being slowly began to disintregrate.
"No...no, no, no! You...You need me! You can't erase me! I'm a part of you!" The fear being cried
"You...were a part of me...when I was Hastur...but now...Hastur is dead...and Tarus has been reborn." Tarus said.
The being din't say anything. It just glared at Tarus.
"...When that stupid woman will die...I will come back." his fear said.
The fear eventually dissolved into nothingness
Tarus slowly began to get up.
"...It's gone...Though...did it work?" Tarus asked.
Tarus suddenly felt a sharp pain in his body.
"Ugh...ugh!" Tarus said.
Tarus suddenly fell on the ground as he lost consciousness. His skin slowly began to change from white to his old color, green.
A hour passed and someone was knocking on his door.
"Tarus, it's me, Lucia. Open the door....Tarus?" Lucia asked.
Lucia opened the door.
"Tarus?" Lucia asked.
When she looked at the floor, she gasped.
"Tarus!" Lucia cried.
Tarus was still laying on the floor, with his face covered.
Lucia crouched down and turned him around slightly to get a good look and gasped.
His face was back to how it was, before he turned into Hastur
Lucia began to shake him a bit.
"Tarus, wake up!" Lucia said.
Tarus slowly opened his eyes, instead of his empty eye sockets, looking at Lucia.
"Oh...hello." Tarus said.
"Are you okay? Your face it's..it's different now." Lucia said.
Tarus looked surprised.
"It is? Uh...give me a mirror, quickly!" Tarus said.
Lucia looked around and spotted a small mirror and gave it to Tarus.
Tarus looked himself in the mirror and was surprised.
"It...it worked! I can't believe it!" Tarus said.
"It worked? Tarus, what did you do?" Lucia asked.
"I...tried to turn back to my normal self and I used my power to bring forth my own fear. Since my face became a manifestation of fear, I had to fight off my own fear in order to restore it back to how it was. I confronted my fear and I made it vanish for good...and then I collapsed." Tarus said.
"...Huh...I...guess that makes sense then." Lucia said, looking reasonably confused.
Tarus looked at his own hands.
"...Now, I won't have to be worried about anyone seeing me with that face ever again or recognizing me as Hastur." Tarus said.
"Indeed....well, no children arrived at the orphanage yet...so, now you can move in with me now without having to worry about covering your identity with a mask or bandages." Lucia said.
"Yeah...can I move in now?" Tarus asked.
"Sure. I don't see any reason not to." Lucia smiled.
Tarus looked at her empty sleeve before he looked at his.
"What's wrong?" Lucia asked.
"There is just one more thing left to fix now." Tarus said.
"...What's that?" Lucia asked, raising an eyebrow.
Tarus just gestured at her sleeve and then his own.
"...These." Tarus said.
Lucia looked shocked.
"...How...do you plan on fixing that?" Lucia asked.
"....I still remember how the Shades were made so, if we find some spare parts in this place, I could manage to make two robot arms. One for me and for yourself." Tarus said.
"That...that sounds pretty good actually." Lucia said.
"Yes, it is...do you think we can find some spare parts?" Tarus asked.
"...I assume we can find some in the active part of the village so maybe so...but for now, we should go to the orphanage before we can think of fixing our...situation." Lucia said.
"Right." Tarus nodded.
"...Do you have any stuff here at all?" Lucia asked.
"No. I came here empty handed." Tarus said.
"Oh, okay. Then let's go." Lucia said.
Tarus and Lucia walked out of Tarus's house and were going back to the orphanage.
Tarus held Lucia's arm as they walked into the distance and the flashback ends.
"...I remember when that happened. And then we both got our new arms after that." Lucia said.
"Yes...and it din't take us long to eventually to get married and have Alison." Tarus said.
Lucia just nodded.
"...I'm glad to have met you, Lucia." Tarus said.
"...Me too, Tarus. We will get through this somehow." Lucia smiled.
Tarus just smiled back in response.
Meanwhile, somewhere in the forest.
The ship of the three Neonytes was there but the invisibily cloak was activated so no one would ever spot a giant spaceship in the middle of the forest.
Freya, Valkyrie and Miguel were in one of the ship's rooms.
"Did it hurt you to follow orders for once without screwing up?" Valkyrie asked.
"Hey, I thought I could handle it, okay? Besides, those bastards deserved to die." Freya said.
"Thanks to your little stunt, now the Omnipotents will most likely try to attack us the next time we see them, making our mission to get Hastur even more harder. And because you couldn't let go of a meaningless grudge." Valkyrie said.
"Fuck you, atleast you had your father while he was still alive. I never had one in my entire life because of those fuckers. So don't tell me that my revenge is meaningless!" Freya said.
"I lost my goddamn father too but you don't see me fucking up everything for us!" Valkyrie shouted.
"Girls, girls, just stop, okay? We are going nowhere with this arguing so just stop." Miguel sighed.
"Ugh, he is right. We are going nowhere with this." Valkyrie sighed.
Freya just rolled her eyes.
"...So, what now?" Miguel asked.
"...We have to come up with a new strategy, now that the Omnipotents are on to us." Valkyrie said.
"...Actually, I might have an idea on how we can deal with them and capture Hastur at the same time." Freya smiled.
"How?" Valkyrie asked.
"Simple. The computer." Freya said, pointing at the Paradox machine.
"...How will it help us?" Miguel asked.
"The machine can basically send objects or people into the past, future or any other random places so we could use this to our advantage. I'll send half of the Omnis elsewhere while the other half to somewhere else. And just to distract them, I'll send the two of you to deal with the two halves while I go and take Hastur." Freya said.
"...You want to fight them off and possibly lose our lives while you go and just simply kidnap Hastur?" Valkyrie asked.
"No, obviously, you guys just distract long enough till I grab him. Once that's done, I'll tell you guys through the transceivers and we'll teleport back to the ship and leave this shithole and bring Hastur to his execution. That sounds more logical, don't you think?" Freya asked.
"....I guess....alright then, we'll stick with this plan." Valkyrie said.
"I thought you said I wouldn't have to hurt anyone except Hastur." Miguel said.
"Well tough titties Miguel, the plan changed. You won't have to kill them...despite that I would want you to, but just keep them off while I kidnap that bastard, that's all." Freya said.
"...I don't know, I met one of them and he was nice...despite being a little weird. I don't think they are that bad as you claim them to be." Miguel said.
"Ever heard of deception? They could be pulling some nice goody two shoes act to get you on their side you know." Freya said.
"...I don't know. Eitherway, we have to finish this mission very quick. Dad will soon find out that his ship is missing and I'll be in a hell of a trouble, even if we bring Hastur back alive." Miguel said.
"Don't worry, Miguel. Tomorrow, we will finish this and we will come back to our planet as heroes. Actual heroes, not pretenders like that phony of Neptune. Hastur will get what's coming to him very soon." Freya smiled.

Sins of the Fathers
Part 4
In the next day.
At morning.
Alison was dressed up and looking herself in the mirror, sighing.
She turned to Victor
"Well, Victor, today's the day. We're gonna try to save my dad and somehow make those Neonytes leave. Unless we have to...you know." Alison said.
Victor just nodded.
"Come on, let's go. Ponek is probably waiting for us." Alison said.
Victor got on Alison's shoulder as she walked out of her own room.
Ponek was just leaning against the door to her room before looking at Alison.
"Morning." Alison said.
"...Yeah, morning." Ponek said.
"Are you okay now?" Alison asked.
"...I don't know." Ponek shrugged.
"...Do you want to talk?" Alison asked.
"Look, don't worry about me, alright? Let's just...worry about those alien guys right now." Ponek sighed.
"...Well, okay. Sandra isn't coming, right?" Alison asked.
"Hell no, I told her to stay here in the orphanage with Lucien and Lucia till this mess gets sorted out." Ponek said.
"That's good." Alison said.
"Yup...and you're bringing your lizard with ya?" Ponek asked.
"Yeah. He might be useful in the fight somehow...or if we need to track em." Alison said.
"...I guess." Ponek shrugged.
"Let's go." Alison said.
Ponek nodded and both of them marched downstairs.
Tarus, Lucia and Sandra were downstairs, mostly waiting till Alison and Ponek climbed down.
Tarus looked at them.
"So, you two are going then?" Tarus asked.
"Yeah." Alison nodded.
"...Okay, but come back here alive, understand?" Tarus asked.
"We will. The other Omnipotents will also be there so there is nothing to worry about." Ponek said.
"Right." Tarus sighed.
"...Also, when you fight those Neonytes...try not to...kill them, okay? They have their reasons, and I'm sure they can be reasoned with. We don't want to make us look like murderers in their eyes." Lucia said.
"We'll try." Alison said.
"If they even listen." Ponek said.
Tarus looked at the ground.
"...You two should go now. The Omnipotents must be waiting." Tarus said.
Alison and Ponek nodded.
She walked up to her parents and hugged them both.
"Take care of yourselves." Alison said.
Tarus and Lucia nodded.
Ponek walked up to Sandra who simply sighed at her.
"Do not get yourselves killed, alright?" Sandra asked.
"Okay." Ponek nodded.
Ponek opened the door and walked out of the orphanage.
Alison walked to the door and turned to look at Tarus, Lucia and Sandra one more time before she followed Ponek and closed the door.
Lucia looked at the floor.
"...I hope we did the right choice." Lucia said.
"...I think we did." Tarus said.
Alison and Ponek arrived at the village and were in front of Noel's castle.
Alison turned to Ponek.
"Are you ready for this?" Alison asked.
"As long as you'll give me a reason to be motivated to kicked their asses, yeah." Ponek nodded.
"Cool." Alison said.
Alison knocked on the door.
Nonias opened the door.
"Oh, you're here. Good, everyone was waiting." Nonias smiled.
Alison and Ponek entered in the castle while Nonias closed the door.
They walked into the meeting room and the rest of the Omnis were there too.
"Ah, Ponek, you're here...and Alison too." Mont said.
"...Even though she is not like us, she can still help. Her lizard can be used to track them down if we need to." Ponek said.
"I guess that makes sense." Noel shrugged.
"Yeah." Sanar said.
"Alright then. Now that everyone is here, now what?" Dilon asked.
"Well, if my prediction is right, the Neonytes should show up in the village and continue their search for Hastur...wherever he is anyways. When they do...we try to attack them I guess." Mont said.
"Shouldn't we get worried if they somehow overpower us?" Naan asked.
"Since the woman that you, Sanar and Dilon fought with has yellow blood, her Earth power will be useless since most of the area is covered in snow, Miguel can only possibly use clones like you can. We don't know what the third one can one do so we should watch out for that one. These Neonytes most likely aren't the strongest ones out of the bunch. Of course, they can still teleport all over the place so that's probably the only annoying part about this." Mont explained.
"Can't we try to reason with them somehow? Convince to just leave?" Nonias asked.
"I already tried with that woman back in the dome. She wasn't willing to listen at all so I doubt the other two will be easy to convince aswell. We have no choice to fight." Dilon said.
"I was afraid of that." Alison sighed.
"...So, do we wait for them? Or we make our first move?" Noel asked.
"...We should probably wait...to see if something happens." Dilon said.
"Well, that's boring." Ponek said.
Alison just shrugged while looking around.
Meanwhile, in the Neonytian spaceship in the forest.
Freya was currently watching the Omnipotents through the paradox machine. Valkyrie and Miguel were notably absent.
"Alright, let the fun begin." Freya smiled.
Freya moved her cursor slightly to Dilon.
Back in the castle.
Dilon suddenly vanished.
This caught the Omnipotents by surprise.
"WOAH! The hell!?" Noel asked.
"Did Dilon just vanish!?" Sanar asked.
Naan just looked confused.
Mont was next to vanish along with Nonias.
"NONIAS!" Noel yelled.
"It's those Neo-fuckers!" Ponek yelled.
"What are they doing!?" Alison asked.
Naan vanished next.
Sanar was shocked.
"Naan!" Sanar yelled.
Sanar vanished too, along with Ponek, Alison and Noel.
Alison, Ponek, Noel and Sanar reappeared in...the abandoned Frozen city that Alison, Sandra and Ponek were in to find her dad's grave.
The four looked around.
"Huh, we're...back here." Alison said.
"Are the others here too?" Noel asked.
"...I...can't see them anywhere. I can't locate their thoughts. They must be far away from us." Sanar said.
"They are trying to pick us apart. Those assholes." Ponek said, her pink haze appearing in her eyes.
"Great." Alison sarcastically said.
Noel looked around at his surroundings, recognizing the city.
"...Shit. Of all the damn places..." Noel grumbled.
"Huh?" Sanar asked.
"...It's...nothing." Noel sighed.
Valkyrie was on a roof of a building, staring down at the four.
"Looks like Freya started her magnificent 'plan'." Valkyrie said before she suddenly teleported.
She reappeared in front of the four.
Noel and Sanar were surprised while Alison and Ponek glared at Valkyrie.
"Greetings." Valkyrie simply said.
"You." Ponek said.
"Ah, you recognize me. I thought you forgot about me." Valkyrie said.
"Where are the others?" Alison asked.
"Freya teleported them somewhere else. Right now, you shouldn't worry about them." Valkyrie said.
Valkyrie grabbed her sword and aimed it at the four.
"I'm your main concern now." Valkyrie said.
Dilon, Mont, Naan and Nonias reappeared in the dome.
Dilon immediately looked around.
"The dome? How did we get here?" Dilon asked.
"The Neonytes must of teleported us in here for some reason." Mont said.
"More importantly, where are Noel and the others?" Nonias asked.
Naan looked at what was in front of her.
"...Um guys." Naan said, pointing.
The three turned around and saw Miguel in front of them, equipped with two laser guns.
"...Just so you guys know...this is all Freya's fault." Miguel sighed.
"Miguel." Mont said.
"....I really don't want to hurt you guys...but I have no choice...it's either this or Freya's wrath." Miguel said.
Miguel grabbed his laser guns.
"...I'll make it quick." Miguel sighed.
Freya watched the two scenarios from the Paradox machine.
"Alright. Now, while these assholes are distracted, I'll pay Hastur and his family a visit myself." Freya said.
Freya walked out of the room.
We cut to the ruined city.
"You don't have to do this. We can work this out." Alison said.
"We are way past the working out part, thanks to Freya. But don't worry, it will all be over soon in a few minutes and you will never see us again." Valkyrie said.
"We never wanted to see you guys anyway." Noel said.
Noel then shot an ice beam at Valkyrie.
She simply ducked as the ice beam missed and hits a tree, freezing it.
Valkyrie disappeared and reappeared in front of Noel, surprising him.
She aimed her sword at his stomach till Ponek warped herself in front of her and punched her right in her left eye, sending him crashing into a car.
"Geez, thanks for that." Noel said.
"Come on, the battle just started!" Ponek said.
She ran very fast towards the car Valkyrie was in.
Alison, Sanar and Noel simply followed.
Ponek ripped the car of the door open before looking inside for Valkyrie.
She wasn't in the car anymore.
"Shit, where did she go?" Ponek asked.
Valkyrie reappeared behind Ponek and stabbed her in her left arm.
"PONEK!" Alison yelled.
Ponek immediately turned around and tried to punch Valkyrie, but she vanished.
"FUCK!" Ponek yelled.
Her arm was bleeding slightly but she din't seem to be hurt that much.
"Sanar, try to find her location!" Noel said.
Sanar got to work and tried to locate Valkyrie's thought.
"...Noel, she is coming for you next!" Sanar said.
"Gotcha!" Noel said.
Noel made a ice blade, waiting for Valkyrie to strike.
Valkyrie reappeared behind him.
Noel immediately turned around and stabbed her in the stomach with his blade.
"UGH!" Valkyrie gasped.
She was bleeding red blood.
Ponek ran up to Valkyrie and punched her right in her stomach wound, knocking her into a wall and fell on the ground.
Valkyrie slowly stood up and puts her hand on her stomach wound.
Noel puts his hand on the ground and some giant ice sickles bursted out of the ground, each sickle bursting towards Valkyrie's direction.
Valkyrie looked at the ice sickles before removing her hand...her stomach wound was suddenly gone.
She aimed her sword and...
SLASH!
With just one slash, the ice sickles were chopped in half much to Noel's surprise.
"...She...chopped them in half with just one strike!" Noel said.
"...Her wound is gone." Ponek noted.
"This is not good." Alison said.
Valkyrie stared at the group before she vanished again.
She reappeared right in front of Noel and immediately stabbed him in the shoulder.
"AH!" Noel yelled in pain.
Ponek attempted to punch her but Valkyrie grabbed her fist and blocked it.
Valkyrie headbutted Ponek and then kicked her straight into a nearby shop, crashing in there.
"PONEK!" Alison yelled.
Valkyrie kicked Noel, knocking him on the ground.
She aimed her sword at him again.
Alison noticed this before she ran to them.
Valkyrie attempted to stab Noel but Alison blocked the sword with her palms before it could hit Noel.
"Leave my friends out of this! I'm the one you want!" Alison said.
"...That's not the reason why you four are here. And also, he struck first." Valkyrie said.
Alison kicked Valkyrie in the face, knocking her back a bit.
Alison looked at Noel.
"Are you okay?" Alison asked.
"...Y-yeah. Sucks that Mont isn't here to heal this." Noel said.
"Yeah." Alison said before she charged straight to Valkyrie.
In the Dome.
Miguel shoots lasers at the group basically.
Nonias gets hit and is knocked on the ground.
Dilon stomps the ground and Miguel is sent flying into the ceiling.
Miguel try to somehow release him but couldn't.
He looked at the walls of the area and got an idea.
He aimed his two guns and shoot some lasers.
The lasers were bouncing on the walls till they manage to hit Dilon knocking him on the ground.
Miguel was released and landed on his feet.
Miguel aimed his guns at Naan and Mont.
Naan immediately looked around, looking at a puddle and released three relfectnaan's and launched them at Miguel.
The three reflections jumped on Miguel and started smaking him.
Mont ran to Dilon and Nonias and began healing them.
Miguel immediately shot the three reflections off of him and shot at them some more, before they bursted into water.
Miguel used his power and made 6 clones of himself, each equipped with their own laser guns.
Miguel and his clones began to shoot at the four.
Nonias ducked behind some cover and looked at the guns and concentrated.
Four lasers guns suddenly jumped out of two Miguel's hands and shoot them in their chests.
The two were obviously clones and they vanished.
The four laser guns started shooting at Miguel and the clones, hitting three more.
Miguel summoned more clones and shot at the lasers guns, destroying them.
Naan took the opportunity to release more reflections, four of herself, two of Dilon's, one of Nonias's and one of Miguel.
The reflections attacked the clones, pummeling some of them.
Nonias then gave more life to some laser guns and they started shooting back at the Miguel's.
Dilon was trying to focus on the real Miguel but couldn't find him in the huge crowd of clones and reflections.
One of the Miguel's attempted to shoot Dilon but he immediately ducked.
The Miguel then began floating and hits the ceiling, and he vanished, meaning it was a clone.
Back at the Valkyrie fight.
Alison was attempting to punch Valkyrie but she kept dodging her fists.
Valkyrie attempted to slash Alison but she dodged her slashes though some of them managed to cut strands of her hair.
Alison then kicked Valkyrie in the face before she teleported.
She reappeared behind Alison
"ALISON, BEHIND YOU!" Sanar yelled.
Alison turned.
"SHIT!" Alison yelled.
Ponek suddenly bursted out of the store and kicked Valkyrie, sending her flying and crashing into many buildings.
Alison turned to Ponek.
"Woah, thanks Ponek, you saved my life!" Alison said.
"Don't mention it. Be ready, that bitch might pop up again." Ponek said.
"Sanar?" Noel asked.
Sanar tried to locate Valkyrie.
"...She crashed into a barn, very far from here, but she'll come back...and she's angry." Sanar said.
"Alright then." Ponek said.
Noel prepared some ice sickles.
Valkyrie teleported back at the area...and she definitely din't look happy and was slightly injured from Ponek's hit.
She suddenly vanished.
"Shit, where did she-"
She reappeared behind Noel and stabbed him.
"FUCK!" Noel yelled in pain.
She disappeared and appeared in front Ponek, punching her.
She appeared in front of Alison and stabbed her in her arm.
She began to spam her teleporting in order to stab, punch and kick the three.
"Holy fuck, she is not stopping!" Noel said.
"Sanar, find out when she is gonna strike!" Ponek said.
"Uh-"
Valkyrie reappeared behind Sanar and smacked her in the head before teleporting away.
"OW!" Sanar said, holding her head.
When she reappeared in front of Ponek, she grabbed her by her neck.
"Enough of that teleporting crap!" Ponek said.
She threw Valkyrie at Alison who simply kicked her in the face, sending her flying to Noel.
Noel used his ice sickles and stabbed Valkyrie with them before he kicked her next to Ponek.
Ponek simply charged her punch and smacked Valkyrie across the face, sending her crashing into a nearby building, causing it fall apart completely along with Valkyrie.
The four ran to the destroyed building and waited for Valkyrie to come out.
She din't come out for a few minutes.
"...Do you think she is?" Noel asked.
"Not quite."
Valkyrie reappeard behind Noel and stabbed him again before she was kicked away by Ponek.
Valkyrie looked completely fine and her stab wounds were gone, though her ship was a bit teared up.
"How is she still alive?" Noel asked.
"She must have some sort of a healing ability that removes her wounds." Alison said.
"Well, that's just great." Ponek said.
Valkyrie just disappeared and reappeared between Noel and Ponek, grabbing both their heads and smacking them into each other.
Back to the Miguel fight.
There was a huge scuffle between the Miguel's and the reflections.
Two Miguel were currently getting punched by two reflectdilon's while one was getting slapped around by a reflectnonias. Five Clones were shot in the chest by suddenly moving laser guns and three clones crashed into the ceiling, courtesy of Dilon.
Mont was kinda just watching the whole battle, since he couldn't of think of anything to help them but was keeping his eye on the real Miguel.
Naan just spammed more reflections.
"How are we gonna find the original out of this army of clones?" Nonias asked.
"Would of been useful if Sanar was here, she would of figured out which one is the real Miguel...then again, that might be the reason why she wasn't teleported here." Mont said.
"Mont, watch out!" Dilon said.
Mont turned around and saw a laser flying his way.
"YIKES!' Mont screamed.
He fell on the ground and the laser missed.
"I'm okay!" Mont said.
Miguel summoned more clones and they started shooting rapidly at the reflections and Dilon.
Nonias brought more guns to life and they shot at the clones.
The clones shot at the guns, destroying them.
Dilon used his gravity and half of the clones hit the ceiling, and most of them vanishing.
"This is just getting annoying. We have to find the original and knock him out before he makes more clones!" Dilon said.
"Easier said than done!" Mont said.
And now back to the Valkyrie fight again.
Valkyrie was currently stabbing Ponek and Noel.
Noel used his ice beam and froze Valkyrie's sword when it was about to stab him in the crotch.
Valkyrie just smacked it against a tree and the ice broke into pieces.
"Well, it was worth a try." Noel sighed.
Valkyrie is prepared to stab Noel till Ponek jumped on her, knocking her on the ground.
Sanar turned to Alison.
"Alison, you have to use your Susanoo thing, now!' Sanar said.
"But...if I do that...then my cover will basically be blown!" Alison said.
"Your cover isn't gonna matter at all if she manages to kill them! You have to use it!" Sanar said.
Alison just looked at at the fight.
"...I...let's just see how this turns out." Alison said.
Ponek was currently punching Valkyrie in the face multiple times till she teleported again.
She reappread behind Ponek and stabbed her in the back.
"AH!" Ponek yelled in pain.
Valkyrie then kicked her on the ground.
She aimed her sword at Ponek.
"...I really don't want to kill you. I want this to end peacefully. I don't want to leave this place with your blood on my hands and sword." Valkyrie said.
Ponek just looked at Valkyrie and spat in her face.
Valkyrie just sighed.
"Fine, if that's what you want." Valkyrie said.
Valkyrie aimed her sword at Ponek's stomach.
Ponek was having a hard time trying to get up thanks to the injury on her back.
"PONEK!" Noel yelled.
She shot an ice sickle at Valkyrie but she easily slashed it in half before she turned to Ponek.
Alison's eyes widened.
"NO!" Alison yelled.
Alison charged towards Valkyrie, running past Noel.
"Alison, stop! You're gonna get killed!" Noel yelled.
Valkyrie then launched her sword and...it was blocked by a skeleton ribcage that surrounded Alison, who was in front of Ponek, who looked surprised.
"Ali?" Ponek asked.
Two skeleton arms appeared around the ribcage and punched Valkyrie away.
Valkyrie got knocked back but she just stared at Alison.
"...Ah, so you're revealing your true power now." Valkyrie said.
The ribcage formed into a giant skeleton, with Alison inside it's ribcage. And it was carrying a sword.
Noel looked shocked.
"That's..." Noel said.
Ponek looked a bit shocked too. Sanar just looked relieved that she used it.
The Susanoo aimed it's sword at Valkyrie.
"Stop hurting my friends and leave...now." Alison threatened, looking angry.
Valkyrie just glared at Alison in response.
Back in the Dome.
the entire battle arena was filled with shitloads of clones and reflections, it turned into a real Clone Wars.
It was hard for Mont, Nonias and Naan to see the action with the clones blocking the view.
Dilon just sent more clones into the ceiling.
The real Miguel, was sneaking through the huge mob of clones, trying to spot Naan, realizing that she is the source of the reflections.
He managed to see her from a distance and shoot two lasers at Naan, hitting her.
"AH!" Naan screamed.
Dilon immediately turned around, hearing the scream.
"NAAN!" Dilon yelled.
Naan attempted to get up and refocus on the reflections till she got blasted by a shitload of lasers from the Miguel's.
The lasers hurt her pretty badly and she fell on the ground. The reflections suddenly vanished.
"Naan!" Nonias gasped, running to the injured child.
"Holy shit!" Mont said, trying to run Naan till a laser hits the ground, making him stop.
Dilon turned to the Miguel's, looking pissed off as he punched the ground.
Suddenly all the clones, including the real Miguel get smacked into the ceiling.
Dilon decided to raise the gravity a bit more and all the Miguel's burst through the ceiling and were flying into the sky.
Dilon then released his control on their gravity and the Miguel's were falling down, and they were gonna land right back into the dome.
The Miguel army painfully crashlanded back in the arena.
The Miguel clones vanished, all except for the real Miguel who was on the ground, injured from the fall and his two laser guns laying in front of him.
Miguel attempted to grab one of the guns but Dilon kicked them away, looking pissed off at Miguel before he stomped his face in.
"Ow! Jesus man, I'm hurt enough as it is!" Miguel said.
"You haven't felt real pain not just yet." Dilon growled.
Mont was currently healing Naan.
It cuts to Freya, who was walking towards the orphanage.
"Hastur, your ass is mine." Freya said.
Inside, Tarus, Lucia and Sandra were sitting on the couch and mostly thinking.
Sandra looked out the window and she gasped.
"Sandra?" Lucia asked.
"It's one of those aliens! She is right at our doorstep!" Sandra said.
"WHAT!?" Tarus asked.
Lucia immediately got up.
"I-I'll try to convince her to leave us!" Lucia said.
"She will kill you the moment you approach her!" Tarus said.
"She can't be that bad not to listen to what we have to say!" Lucia said.
Sandra just ran upstairs, going to get a weapon.
Freya kicked the door open, entering in.
She saw Tarus and Lucia immediately.
"Ah, so this is where you were hiding all this time." Freya said.
Freya got her laser sword and walked up to them.
"Hastur, you're coming with me." Freya said.
"Not a chance in hell." Tarus said.
Lucia got in front of Tarus.
"Listen, I don't know who you are but you don't have to do this! What Tarus did was wrong, but yoy need to know that he has changed, he isn't the same as he was back when he killed your people. He has some good in him, he is not evil like you might think he is." Lucia said.
"Cut the sob story, lady, no matter what you say will not stop me from bringing his ass to his execution." Freya said.
"He chose to atone for his sins and willingly choose to give himself up to receive his punishment. You have a reason to be angry because he might of killed someone you care about but killing him isn't gonna make you more better than him." Lucia said.
"...To be honest, he din't really kill anyone from my family. But him chickening out of his death made some bitch look like a hero and made them forget about other Neonytes who did more than she ever did, like my dad for example, who was killed thanks to those fucking Omnipotents, right before I was born. He attempted to save us from them and he died trying. I never got the chance to have a dad in my life thanks to his and those Other Omnipotent's existence." Freya said, aiming her sword at Lucia's throat.
"Not all Omnipotents are evil, and neither is Tarus. One of the children from this orphanage is a Omnipotent, who also lost her father like you. The other Omnipotents from this village aren't bad at all, they are nice. I was angry with one of them once for something that happened a long ago, but I learned that being angry at him forever wouldn't change anything and so I forgive him. If you look into your heart, you too will find the strength to forgive Tarus and let go of your hatred. If you kill him...then another girl will experience the pain of losing a parent aswell." Lucia said, hoping her words got into Freya's head.
Freya stared at Lucia before she slightly removed her sword from her throat.
...You know, you aren't actually that bad for a human...I was thinking about killing you just to make him suffer, but you seem to be decent atleast. the only mistake you ever did...was getting fucked by this asshole." Freya said.
She then smacked Lucia, knocking her on the ground.
This infuriated Tarus.
Sandra ran downstairs, carrying a hammer and gasped when she saw Lucia.
"WHAT DID YOU DO TO HER, YOU BITCH!?" Sandra asked.
She charged at Freya with her hammer, attempting to hit her. Freya easily dodged her hits before headbutting Sandra in the face, easily knocking her out.
Tarus looked pissed off.
"YOU'LL PAY FOR THIS!" Tarus yelled.
"I don't think so." Freya said.
Freya pulled a weapon from her pocket and aimed it Tarus. She pulled the trigger and shot a net out of the weapon, hitting Tarus and knocking on the floor.
He was wrapped in the net and when he tried to release himself. it began to electrocute him.
"AH!" Tarus yelled in pain
Tarus passed out while Freya smiled.
"I got him. Finally." Freya said.
Freya grabbed the net carrying Tarus and she teleported out of the orphanage.
Lucia slowly opened her eyes and saw that Tarus and Freya weren't in the room anymore.
"...No!" Lucia yelled.
Back in the ruined city.
Valkyrie's transceiver started ringing.
She immediately pulled her transceiver out and answered.
"Yes?" Valkyrie asked.
"I got him. Hastur is ours at last." Freya responded.
"Hmph, finally, took you long enough. I'm surprised it actually worked." Valkyrie said.
"Told ya. We'll meet up back in the forest, I'll need you guys to help me carry this asshole back in the ship." Freya said.
"Got it." Valkyrie said.
She puts her transceiver in her pocket before she looked at Alison, smiling.
"Our mission is complete. I'm glad I din't have to kill any of you. You won't have to worry about seeing us again. Goodbye." Valkyrie smiled.
She teleported out of the city.
Alison's eyes widened as the Susanno vanished.
Ponek got up and walked up to Alison.
"What the hell did she mean by that?" Ponek asked.
"...Oh...no...please don't tell me." Alison mumbled.
"Ali?" Ponek asked.
Noel was still shocked by Alison's Susanoo.
"...No...it can't be..." Noel said in his mind.
Alison turned to the others.
"We have to go back to the orphanage, now!" Alison said.
"Why?" Ponek asked.
"There is no time, we have to go, now! Sanar, can you detect the others nearby?" Alison asked.
"No, they are not anywhere in this area." Sanar said.
"We'll probably meet up with them in the village. For now, let's go! Ponek, you can run fast, we'll try to hold on to you while you run." Alison said.
"Okay then." Ponek said, her pink haze returning.
Alison, Noel and Sanar hold on to Ponek as she speeds off, running out of the city.
Back in the Dome.
Miguel's transceiver ringed and he picked it up, despite being in pain.
"Did you guys get him yet? I'm in a bit of a trouble right now." Miguel said.
"Yeah, we got him. Let me guess, you are having a hard time with them?" Freya guessed.
"That, and my bones are kinda crushed right now." Miguel said.
"I'll teleport you to the forest right now." Freya said.
Miguel was then teleported out of the dome.
"Great, he escaped." Dilon angrily said.
"Who did he refer to when he asked if they captured 'him'? Was it Hastur?" Nonias asked.
"I don't know and I could care less, all I want is to catch up with those fuckers and introduce them to a new world of pain." Dilon said.
Mont and Naan walked up to them.
"Are you okay now, Naan?" Dilon asked.
"Yeah, I'm okay...we should look for the others now." Naan said.
"That's what I was thinking too." Dilon said.
"The question is, where are they?" Mont asked.
"GUYS!" Sanar screamed in their minds
The four jumped when they heard her voice.
"Jesus, Sanar, don't do that again!" Mont said.
"Are you okay? Where are you now?" Dilon thought.
"I'm with Noel, Alison and Ponek. We fought against one of them but she left, saying that their mission is complete and Alison told us to hurry back to the orphanage. Where are you guys?" Sanar asked
"We are in the dome. Seems like those bastards separated us to have advantage. They planned for this. Why are you going to the orphanage?" Dilon thought.
"We'll explain it back in the village, for now, we have to get there fast!" Sanar thought
Dilon turned to the others.
"Let's head to the orphanage, the others will be there aswell!" Dilon said.
The three Omnis nodded before they ran out of the dome.
Noel, Alison, Ponek and Sanar arrived back in the village and reunited with Dilon, Mont, Nonias and Ponek.
"I'm glad to see you guys are still alive." Mont said.
"You two look seriously hurt." Nonias said, looking at Ponek and Noel.
"It stings a little, but let's worry about those assholes right now!" Noel said.
"Come on, we have to hurry!" Alison said.
The Omnis ran out of the village and were going to the orphanage.
They arrived there fast and saw the door open, much to Alison's shock.
"No! Oh, fuck no!" Alison said.
"If they did anything to them, I swear to God I'll rip their heads off!" Ponek yelled.
The Omnis ran in the orphanage and looked around.
"MOM! DAD! SANDRA!" Alison yelled, hoping to get a response.
They heard a groaning noise.
They turned and saw Lucia and Sandra on the floor.
"MOM!" Alison yelled, running to Lucia.
"SANDRA!" Ponek yelled, running to Sandra.
"Where is Lucien?" Mont asked.
Alison crouched down and helped her mom get up.
"Mom, are you okay? Where is dad?" Alison asked.
Lucia looked at Alison, looking sad.
"...She...she...took him...she took your father...I tried to reason with her...I'm sorry." Lucia said.
The Omnipotents looked shocked.
Noel seemed like he was putting two and two together as he looked at Alison.
Alison just stood there, looking pale.
"...Dad." Alison said.

Sins of the Fathers
Part 5
Inside the Orphanage.
Mont used his healing power on the Omnis who got injured during the Neonyte fights and Lucia was sitting on a couch while being comforted by Alison and Nonias while Ponek was checking on Sandra who had an ice bag on her forehead, saying that it hurts after Freya headbutted her.
"She just knocked you out?" Nonias asked.
"Yes. I'm surprised she din't kill me. I guess she listened to what I had to say." Lucia said.
"But she still took dad and left anyways." Alison said.
"What would she want with your husband? That I don't understand." Dilon said.
"...It's...complicated." Lucia sighed.
Noel looked at Lucia before he looked at Alison.
Alison just stood up.
"...We have to find those Neonytes and get dad back and fast. I won't let those aliens hurt him!" Alison said.
"But they could of teleported back to their planet by now right? That's how it works with them right?" Naan asked.
"Not exactly. While some just teleport here from their planets, others need spaceships to come here so if we are lucky-"
"Wait, when that alien was talking with the other alien on her communicator thing, din't she mention a ship and that they'll need help to carry him back to the ship? That's where they must be going right now." Ponek said.
"Of course! I almost forgot about that." Alison said.
"So, we go to the forest, track those Neonytes fast, fight them off and rescue your dad before they took off, right?" Sanar asked.
"Sounds like a plan to me...but..." Dilon said, looking a bit upset at Alison.
Alison just raised an eyebrow at Dilon.
"If that's where are they going, we shouldn't waste any time and get to them before they leave." Nonias said.
"...Well, there is a bit of a problem with that you see. The forest is pretty huge so I'm not sure how we could be able to find them or the ship. And walking in circles isn't gonna help either. Even if we find some foot marks in the snow, it could be just a polar bear's and it would be a waste of time." Mont said.
"...Maybe we could and visit Nikolai and wish for him to teleport us to wherever the Neonytes or their ship Is?" Sanar asked.
"By the time we would be able to find Nikolai to wherever the fuck he is right now, the aliens will be gone by then so that's a No-no." Noel said.
"It was just a suggestion." Sanar shrugged.
Alison began think and she smiled.
"I got it! We could use Victor's help!" Alison said.
"Victor?" Naan asked.
"It's her pet lizard." Ponek said.
"Since that alien walked in here, he could smell her scent and track her down to wherever she is! That way we won't have to go stomping around the woods for hours and manage to find those Neonytes fast!" Alison said.
"Huh, that's...a good idea actually. With Victor's nose, we won't have a problem tracking them down." Mont smiled.
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's do this." Ponek said.
Alison nodded before she turned to Lucia.
"...I will get dad back home alive, mom. I promise." Alison said.
"...Okay. But promise me that you and Ponek come back home safe and sound aswell, okay? I want you three to come back alive, understand?" Lucia asked.
"Yes, mom, don't worry, we will settle our score with those Neonytes and come back here unharmed. You have my word." Alison said.
Lucia slowly nodded before she hugged Alison who accepted her hug.
Sandra walked up to Ponek.
"If you guys are going, then I'm coming too." Sandra said.
"No, you stay here." Ponek said.
"But I want to help you guys save Lucien! And the last thing I want is having my only two friends getting seriously hurt and not coming back here ever again! Do you know how I would feel if that happens?" Sandra asked.
"I know, but when we will find those assholes, shit will most likely go down and I don't want you to get caught in the crossfire. You have to stay here with Lucia till we get back." Ponek said.
"But-"
"She is right, Sandra. You must have faith in us. I promise that by the end of this day, all of this will be over, we'll come back here alive and we can resume our normal lives again. You just have to trust us." Alison said.
"...I...ugh, there's no way to win a argument with you two at all." Sandra sighed.
Sandra looked at Ponek and Alison.
"...You two better come back here by tonight or else...I'll be mad at you two for not allowing me to go with you forever." Sandra said.
"Got it." Alison smiled.
Ponek just smiled slighty before they turned to the Omnis.
"Let's go." Ponek said.
The Omnis nodded and they walked out of the orphanage.
Once outside, Alison looked into her pocket and pulled out Victor.
"Okay, Victor, I have a important mission for you. Try to smell that alien's scent and then follow it to wherever she and her friends went, okay?" Alison asked.
Victor immediately nodded as he jumped on the ground and began to smell Freya's scent.
He caught her scent and began to follow it.
"Jackpot!" Alison smiled.
"Huh, and here I thought those blue lizards were useless this entire time." Noel smiled.
Victor, while walking, glared at Noel's statement.
Mont pulled Noel by his arm and whispered in his ear.
"Lizards are sentient enough to understand what we say...and also insults. Not a good idea to say stuff like that, they hold grudges till forever." Mont whispered.
"...Oh...um, when I said blue lizards, I wasn't referring to you, Victor. Not at all." Noel said.
Victor rolled his eyes before he continued following Freya's scent while the group followed him.
Back in the Neonytian ship.
Freya and Valkyrie were talking while Miguel was trying to get the ship to fly off.
"Told you it worked, din't I?" Freya asked.
"Yeah, you did. And we din't get killed thanks to your plan, so that's good." Valkyrie said.
"Yup. Now we can bring that asshole to his execution and that bitch will have lots of explaining to do once we get there." Freya said.
"Guess so. Miguel, are we ready to lift off?" Valkyrie asked.
"Not exactly. We left the ship in the cold for too long, the boosters are frozen right now. We'll have to let it heat up for a bit before we can take off." Miguel said.
"Really? Ugh, for a expensive ship, your dad sure knows how to pick the most useless ones." Freya said.
"He had this ship for like 30 years, what'd you expect?" Miguel asked.
"Well, we have no choice but to wait then. It will be awhile till those Omnipotents track down us so we will be gone by the time they'll be here." Valkyrie said.
"Huh, guess so." Freya said, sitting down.
Valkyrie turned around to the door.
"...I'll go and pay our soon to be executed prisoner a little visit." Valkyrie said.
Valkyrie walked out of the room.
Somewhere in the ship, Tarus was being held in a little prison cell.
He was sitting on the ground, mostly looking worried about Alison and Lucia. Worrying that if he will be executed, who will take care of them and how will they be able to cope with his death.
His thoughts got interrupted by the sound of the door opening and Valkyrie entering in, closing the door behind her.
"Hello there...Hastur, I presume?" Valkyrie asked.
Tarus just glared at Valkyrie.
"Tarus." Tarus corrected.
"Whatever. You are the infamous tyrant who basically killed many of our people and took over worlds." Valkyrie said.
"....Yes. Did you come here to spit in my face?" Tarus asked
"That...and to ask you a question." Valkyrie said.
"Question?" Tarus asked.
"Yes. My question being why? Why did you try to kill all of us? What did we ever do to you that you felt that we deserved death?" Valkyrie asked.
Tarus just looked at the ground and sighed.
"...When I started all of this...the first universe I took over had two Neonytes who were causing trouble and I had to put them down. In other universes I went, I encountered more Neonytes, who were just as dangerous as those two but more powerful and destructive. And also the fact that some of your people took over worlds and enslaved the inhabitants of those worlds. I gave your people chances before...but after I learned that one of you blew up a planet, the chances were out the window and I decided that for the good of the multiverse and other worlds out there, I had to kill the Neonytes." Tarus said.
"...So, you wanted to kill us because of our dangerous powers...that's your reason for your attempt at genocide?" Valkyrie said.
"...Yes. At the time, I thought I was doing the right thing for everyone. I thought I could make a old dream come true by conquering those worlds and eliminating conflict...but I failed." Tarus said.
"Heartwarming. But it doesn't change the fact that you slaughtered many of us, including innocent ones who din't deserve it....like my father for example. Do you know who he was?" Valkyrie asked.
"...I killed so many at this point that I don't know. I can't even remember their names." Tarus said.
"Hmph, of course you wouldn't. Either way, your soldiers killed him and I had to grow up for the rest of my life without him. And it was all thanks to you. I was glad to learn that you were killed but when I learned that you were still alive, I wanted to kill you myself." Valkyrie said.
Valkyrie turned her back to Tarus.
"...You had your reasons for thinking that we are dangerous. I admit, our powers are...pretty chaotic but you still killed many who din't deserve death and no one from my own species will be able to forgive you for what you did. I can assure you that by the time we get back, you will be executed. You might aswell just spend your last moments of regretting all the things you did." Valkyrie said.
"...I spent many years regretting the things that I did. It's clear that you and the others won't be convinced but remember this...if you kill me, then my daughter will be forced to live for the rest of her live without her father being there for her. Try to understand that." Tarus said.
Valkyrie looked at the ground, her face couldn't be seen.
"...There was also a little girl who dearly loved her father very much, and her father did everything he could to protect her and love her...but now that man is dead and the poor little girl had to grow up without him. So don't tell me how your daughter will feel when you will die...because I experienced that pain for a long time." Valkyrie said.
She walked out of the prison cell and closed the door, locking it.
Tarus looked at the ground and sighed, closing his eyes.
In the forest.
The Omnipotent group were following Victor who was busy tracking down the Neonytes.
Victor was walking, sniffing their scent.
"Could he got a little bit faster?" Ponek asked.
"This is as fast as he could go." Alison said.
Victor continued sniffing till he stopped and noticed something.
"What is it, Victor?" Alison asked.
Victor turned to Alison and gestured at the snow. There were foot marks.
"...It must be the Neonytes's foot marks." Sanar said.
"Are those their foot marks, boy?" Alison asked.
Victor sniffed the foot marks and nodded.
"Good, that means we must be getting closer to them. Come on, we are almost there." Alison said.
Alison continued walking.
"Before we go on, I want to ask you a little question." Noel said.
Alison turned to Noel.
"...Um, what is it?" Alison asked.
"Is your dad Hastur?" Noel asked.
Alison's eyes widened.
"...What?" Alison asked.
"I asked you if your dad is Hastur." Noel said.
Naan, Nonias and Mont turned to Noel, looking confused.
"Why would you ask her that? I mean, Lucien looks nothing like-"
"During that battle with one of those Neonytes, Alison summoned a giant skeleton monster with a huge sword and looked exactly like Hastur's. And the fact that she acted suspicious everytime we mentioned his name." Noel said.
Noel looked at Alison.
"Isn't that right, Alison?" Noel asked.
Alison looked at the ground. She froze up and din't know what to say.
"Child, answer us." Dilon said.
"...Y...Y...Yes. He is...He is my father. Hastur is my father...my mom loves him." Alison said.
Nonias, Naan and Mont were shocked by this. Ponek mostly just looked confused, Sanar just sighed and Dilon and Noel's expressions din't change.
"...Fucking Hell, I really din't want this to be true." Noel sighed.
Dilon turned to Sanar.
"Sanar, you knew about this?" Dilon asked.
"...I...um...yeah. I promised Alison that I would keep it as a secret and wouldn't tell anyone...even you guys....I'm sorry." Sanar said.
"Well, this is just great." Dilon sighed.
"...I'm sorry. I...I had a hard time keeping this as a secret from you guys. I din't want to lie to you all." Alison said.
"...Kid, do you realize who this guy is?" Noel asked.
"...I know, I knew about it since I was a kid." Alison said.
"Then you must know how pissed off I am right now about the fact that he was alive this entire time and he was living with us for 20 fucking years! And he is the reason why those 3 alien guys showed up and almost killed us! And also that you lied about it to our faces!" Noel said.
"...Well, the other Noel from that Tournament sure took the news much better than my Noel, that's for certain" Alison's voice narrated
Noel turned to Ponek.
"Did you know about this?" Noel asked.
"No, of course fucking not, how the hell could I know? When me and Sandra moved in, Lucia was already married to him and Alison told us that he was traveler from another dimension who Lucia fell in love with and that's it." Ponek said.
Noel turned back to Alison.
"Oh, so you also lied to your own best friend. Fucking A, Alison, Fucking A." Noel said.
"...I...I'm sorry. You have to understand that it wasn't easy for me to keep this under the rug. I wanted to tell you guys at one point." Alison said.
"Child, personally, I'm not bothered by the fact that your father is Hastur." Dilon said.
"It isn't?" Alison asked.
"No. I'm bothered about the fact that you lied about it to us the entire time. You should of told us about during the meeting after I got attacked by that Neonyte. We could of formed a new plan if we knew that. But since you din't tell us, they picked up apart and Naan got seriously injured!" Dilon said.
"I feared that if I told you guys, there was a chance that you would of flipped out and decided to give him to those Neonytes on a silver platter." Alison said.
"Well, can you blame us? He is the guy who conquered like 16 worlds, imprisoned innocent people and is the one who is responsible for half of this planet being dead! Those Neonyte are pretty justified considering he also killed their people!" Noel said.
"That wasn't his fault, he din't mean for incident to happen. During the battle, that ship cannon accidently got activated and blew up most of the area. He was angry with himself for that happening." Alison said.
"Oh, yeah, I'm sure he was. He sure did a good job of showing everyone that he regretted it." Noel sarcastically said
"Look, does this even fucking matter? Instead of wasting our time arguing about stupid shit, let's go and stop those aliens from leaving!" Ponek said.
"Stupid shit? That guy is the reason why those aliens showed up and picked a fight with us! If he just stayed dead, they wouldn't be here to begin with. And not to mention that he is a tyrant." Noel said.
"He wasn't a tyrant. He had good intentions, only the way he executed his goal was the wrong thing to do." Alison said.
"Yeah, well hilter and Stalin had good intentions, and they were the nicest guys in the entire world, weren't they?" Noel asked.
"First of all, don't compare him to those two. And second, he fucking changed. He isn't the same as he was before. He changed thanks to my mom." Alison said.
"Does Lucia even love him? Or did he force her to marry him? Cause if he did, then he can go die and burn in hell for all I care." Noel said.
"No, she genuinely loves him and saw the inner good in him. She gave a second chance when no else would. Because of her he stopped being Hastur." Alison said.
"Okay, but can you guarantee that when one day, you and Lucia might die in a accident or something, he won't go back to being Hastur and go back to taking over worlds starting with ours, huh?" Noel asked.
Alison just looked at the ground, not knowing the answer that.
"...I don't know, but that's not what's important." Alison said.
"It is important, because as far as I'm concerned, the world is better off without him. We can't risk him turning into a dictator again and enslave us." Noel said.
Alison looked pretty infuriated with Noel.
"...Okay, so when Nikolai screwed up by giving his magic beads to a psychopathic maniac who killed his own friends and ripped her arm off and made her suffer, does that mean that he should be killed because he made a mistake?" Alison asked.
"Those two situations are different. Nikolai din't know anything about Grant being a psycho and doing that. If he had the power to tell the future, he would of hesitated from giving him the beads. And one hurt soul is nothing compared to billions of people he hurt." Noel said.
"Oh, okay, so Nikolai fucks up and puts my own mom through hell and he shouldn't be punished at all, but when my dad fucks up and accidently blows up half of the world even though he din't want that to happen and all he ever wanted was to make a dream come true and din't have anyone in his life to support him and show him love, he should be executed. So, by that logic Noel, shouldn't you get punished for accidently unleashing the Ice age on the entire world? And before you ask how I came up to that conclusion, considering that you are the Omnipotent of Ice and the entire world is frozen and buried in ice, it doesn't take a fucking scientist to put two and two together and realize that you may of had something to do with it! Dad may of screwed up this world up, but you also played a hand in it even if it was accidental. SO, DON'T GO AND TELL ME THAT THE ENTIRE WORLD WOULD BE BETTER OFF WITH HIM DEAD WITHOUT EVEN CONSIDERING HOW I FEEL EVEN THOUGH YOU FUCKED UP AS MUCH AS HIM!" Alison yelled
Noel was stunned for a few seconds till he looked pissed off and walked up to Alison.
"NOW YOU FUCKING LISTEN TO ME, MISSY!" Noel yelled.
Nonias grabbed Noel by his arm.
"Noel, calm down!" Nonias said.
Ponek just got in front of Alison and glared at Noel.
"Noel, just drop it, please." Nonias begged.
Noel looked at Nonias before he looked at Alison and took a deep breath, calmed down and backed away.
"...Kid, I'm gonna ignore that last part...but, I'm not gonna risk my life to save that guy. You are on your own here." Noel said.
Alison just turned back, looking at the ground.
"...I knew you wouldn't. Hell, I knew this would of happen if I told you guys...I never wanted to get you all involved at all. I'm deeply sorry for lying to all of you, I really am...but it's too late now...I'll go and save my dad on my own...and if I'll manage to even do that...you won't have to worry about me getting involved in your lives ever again." Alison said, she was having a hard time holding off her tears.
Ponek looked at Alison.
"Ali?" Ponek asked.
"...Come on, Victor. Let's go." Alison said.
Alison then ran off, with Victor following her.
"ALI!" Ponek yelled.
Ponek then turned to Noel, looking pissed off.
"Congrats, Frozen, way to go. Might aswell just told her that she shouldn't of existed at all." Ponek said.
Noel din't say anything, he just looked at the ground.
"...I don't know about you guys, but I'm going to with Alison. She can't take on them alone. You guys can go back home if you want, but I'm not leaving my best friend to die to those guys, or lose her father like I did. Fuck that." Ponek said.
Ponek's pink haze appeared in her eyes, going after Alison.
Sanar looked at them before she decided to take off aswell.
"Sanar, where are you going?" Dilon asked.
"...I have to help them, Dilon. They'll need my help." Sanar said.
And with that, she ran off after Ponek.
Mont kinda awkwardly looked back and forth before he sighed.
"Sorry, guys." Mont said.
Mont then walked from the group and went after Alison, Ponek and Sanar.
Dilon, Noel, Nonias and Naan just stood there and looked each other, trying to decided what's the best course of action right now.
Alison just continued followed Victor but she looked sad by what just happened.
"ALI!" Ponek yelled.
Alison stopped, looking shocked before she slowly turned, looking at Ponek.
"Ponek?" Alison asked.
Ponek walked up to her.
"Hi. Geez, warn a girl next time when you try to run off like that, okay?" Ponek asked.
"...What are you doing here?" Alison asked.
"To help you to save your dad, obviously." Ponek said.
"You will help me?" Alison asked, looking surprised.
"Well, yeah, we are friends, right? And like you said, that's what are friends for." Ponek said.
"...Even though your own friend lied to you?" Alison asked.
"You only lied about your dad, you din't lie about your identity or something like that. I don't really care. Hell, you were there for me when I was depressed about my dad and you tried to help me find his tombstone even though we din't find it but we still tried. The last thing I want is you going through the same shit that I did and not have your dad beside you. I'll help you save your dad and that's that." Ponek said.
"...Ponek...I." Alison said.
She immediately hugged Ponek.
"Thank you. Thank you so much." Alison said, tears in her eyes.
"...Um, no problem...so...those aliens might be leaving anytime now." Ponek said.
"Oh right." Alison said, stopping her hug.
"GUYS!" Sanar yelled.
Alison and Ponek turned around and saw her and Mont right behind them.
"Sanar? Mont?" Alison asked.
"Me and Mont want to help. You might need me to predict their attacks after all. And to find out where they took your dad of course." Sanar said.
Alison looked at Mont who awkwardly scratched his neck.
"...Well...those Neonytes are strong, so you might aswell need someone who will help you with possible serious injuries so I'm in. Plus, it wouldn't feel right to let you guys risk your lives. You can count on me." Mont said.
She walked up to Mont and smiled.
"Thank you, Mont, you really don't know how much this means to me. And you too, Sanar." Alison said.
Mont and Sanar smiled and nodded.
"Are the others coming too?" Ponek asked.
"...I'm not sure. Maybe they will but without Noel since well..." Mont said.
"I think the four of us will be enough to take on them." Alison said.
Alison turned around.
"Now, let's go. Dad's life is on a thread and he is depending on us." Alison said.
They all nodded.
Victor continued following their scent and the foot marks and Alison, Ponek, Sanar and Mont followed him.
"I screwed up big time with the others and I'll find a way to make things right with them again but now, we have to save my father and put an end to this conflict between him and the Neonytes once and for all. I promised mom that me, Ponek and dad will come back to the orphanage alive, and I plan on keeping that promise no matter what...Dad, just hold on. I'm coming to save you." Alison's voice narrated
TO BE CONCLUDED.

Sins of the Fathers
Part 6
Alison, Mont, Ponek and Sanar were still following Victor who was smelling the Neonytes's scent.
Eventually, he stopped when he saw what was in front of him.
He turned to the four and they looked at what Victor saw.
It was the Neonytes's ship.
"That must be their ship." Alison said, picking up Victor and putting him back in her pocket.
"...That's one big ass ship." Ponek said.
"Indeed it is. Looks pretty cool. Sometimes I wish I had a spaceship like theirs." Mont said.
"...Um, sure." Ponek shrugged.
Alison turned to Sanar.
"Sanar, can you detect any of their thoughts in that ship, or atleast dad's?" Alison asked.
Sanar nodded and she focused.
"...Well, I caught that alien guy's thoughts. He thought that they have three minutes left till the boosters are ready and they'll take off with your dad to bring him to his execution." Sanar said.
"Then we have to stop that ship from leaving somehow." Alison said.
"How do we do that?" Ponek asked.
"Hmm...Neonyte ships are usually powered up by their engines. So, there must be a panel somewhere on the outside of the ship containing the engine. If we yank that off, they'll be stranded here with no chance of escaping." Mont said.
"Sounds good...though, if we can't remove the panel, how we will be able to remove it?" Alison asked.
Ponek walked to the ship without the other three noticing.
"...Hmm...well, I do have a screwdriver, so we could-" Mont said, grabbing his screwdriver from his pocket.
"Is this it?" Ponek asked, walking up to the three, carrying a ripped out panel in her hand and the engine in her other hand.
"...Yeah, that is it." Mont said, a bit disappointed.
"Good job, Ponek!" Alison smiled.
"Yup. Now let's go and get ourselves some payback." Ponek said, dropping the panel and the engine in the snow.
"Right." Sanar said.
Alison, Ponek and Sandra walked towards the ship.
Mont just looked at his screwdriver before he put it in his pocket.
"My plan would of worked." Mont sighed before following the girls.
Inside the ship, in the control room.
"Miguel, are the boosters ready yet? I'm starting to fall asleep here." Freya said.
"They are ready. We are ready to take off." Miguel said.
"Finally." Freya said.
Miguel pressed some buttons...and nothing happens.
"Huh?" Miguel asked.
Miguel pressed the buttons again and nothing happens.
"What's going on?" Miguel asked.
"What's wrong?" Valkyrie asked.
"The ship's not moving at all. It says that it can't function without a engine." Miguel said.
"What!? But we have a freakin engine, the hell is it talking about?" Freya asked.
"I have no idea!" Miguel said.
In the ship, Alison, Mont, Ponek and Sanar were walking down a hallway, with Sanar trying to detect any of the Neonytes's or Tarus's thoughts.
"...I can sense the Neonytes's thoughts." Sanar said.
"Where are they?" Ponek asked.
"In there." Sanar said, pointing at one of the doors.
The four walked up to the door.
"Well, this is it." Alison said.
"What's the plan?" Mont asked.
"We'll fight them off but we don't kill them. And we'll try to convince them to leave, then we get dad back and that's it." Alison said.
"Alright. I suggest you guys stand back." Ponek said.
Her Pink Haze appeared in her eyes and she aimed her fist.
"Miguel, go outside the ship and see what happened to the engine." Freya said.
"Why me?" Miguel asked.
"Because it's your dad's ship, duh!" Freya said.
"Ugh, fine." Miguel said.
Miguel was walking towards the door...till it was punched out of it's metallic hinges, courtesy of Ponek, and the door flew right into Miguel, crashing into a wall, shocking Valkyrie and Freya.
"WHAT THE FUCK!?" Freya asked.
Alison, Mont and Sanar walked into the room.
"Game's over, guys. Now hand over my dad back." Alison said.
"How did you find us!?" Valkyrie asked.
"Magic." Sanar simply responded.
Miguel regained consciousness before he threw the door on the floor.
"...Dad's gonna be pissed." Miguel said.
Valkyrie glared at the four.
"I suggest you all leave while you still are connected to your limbs. Now." Valkyrie said.
"Not a chance. I want my dad and I'll get him back no matter what. We don't have to end it like this." Alison said.
Freya just got her laser sword out.
"Tch, screw this, let's just get rid of them. If we leave them alive, they'll most likely somehow manage to follow us back to our planet just to annoy us again." Freya said.
Valkyrie sighed, getting her sword out.
"Seems I have no choice then." Valkyrie said.
Miguel just got his two laser guns, sighing.
Freya suddenly teleported.
"Alison, she is gonna teleport right beh-"
Freya teleported behind Alison and her stab was blocked by the Susanoo ribcage that appeared around her, along with the two skeleton arms.
One of the arms tried to punch Freya but she teleported.
Miguel shot at Mont and Sanar but they dodged quickly and hid behind some boxes.
Valkyrie charged at Ponek with her sword but Ponek easily grabbed her sword with her hand before she punched Valkyrie in the face, knocking her into the wall.
Valkyrie growled before she teleported.
She and Freya teleported behind Ponek and both of them stabbed her.
"SHIT!" Ponek yelled.
Freya and Valkyrie got punched by the Susanoo arms knocking them away.
"MONT!" Alison yelled.
"I'M ON IT!" Mont yelled.
Mont ran to Ponek and puts his hand on her injuries, healing her quickly.
"Thanks." Ponek said, before she ran to the Neonytian girls.
Three clones of Miguel appeared and all of them started shooting at Ponek.
Ponek easily deflected their lasers and she instantly appeared in front of the two clones and punched two holes in them, making them disappear.
Alison aimed her Susanoo's fists at Freya but she easily dodged the fists before she disappeared again.
Valkyrie charged at Alison and tried to cut through the ribcage with her sword.
"Sanar, where is the other one gonna strike next?" Alison asked.
Sanar tried to detect Freya.
"...She is gonna appear above your head, right to stab you!" Sanar said.
"Got it!" Alison said.
As predicted, Freya appeared above Alison and attempted to stab her.
The Susanno arm grabbed Valkyrie and threw her right into Freya, knocking them both on the ground.
"Sanar, can you try to find out where they took dad at by looking through their thoughts?" Alison thought
Sanar tried to look into their heads.
"...He is somewhere down the ship. In a prison cell." Sanar transmitted her thought in Alison's head
"Thanks!" Alison thought
Alison then turned around and try to run out of the room.
More clones of Miguel appeared and all of them started shooting at Alison.
Most of the blasts were blocked by the ribcage, but Alison had a hard time from moving from her position.
While she was distracted, Valkyrie and Freya took the opportunity to charge towards her. They both lunged at the Susanoo Arms and the arms were cut off by their swords at the same time, landing on the floor.
"SHIT!" Alison yelled.
Miguel's blasts managed to pierce through the ribcage and Alison got hit in the face, knocking her on the ground.
The ribcage around her disappeared.
Ponek just punched through the clones, sending each of them crashing into the wall.
Freya and Valkyrie stabbed Ponek's arms, stopping her from punching them before she got blasted by the Miguel's blasts, knocking her on the ground.
"Fuck!" Ponek yelled.
The Miguel's aimed their laser guns at the four, while Freya and Valkyrie aimed their swords.
"You have to choice here. Either you leave now or die. It's simple as that." Valkyrie said.
"I would choose the latter if I'm being honest." Freya said.
"Guys, I think we are a bit outmatched here." Mont said.
"...I'm not leaving this place without my dad." Alison declared, glaring at the Neonytes.
Valkyrie sighed.
"...Fine. Then you will join your father in the afterlife." Valkyrie said.
Suddenly, a beam hits one of the Miguel and turns into a ice statue...before it shatters into pieces.
This shocked the Neonytes and the Omnis.
"What the!?" Freya asked.
"Are we late to the party?" Noel asked, with Dilon, Nonias and Naan behind him, entering in the room.
Alison and Sanar looked relieved when she saw the others
"Guys!" Alison said.
"Sorry for being late. Did we miss anything?" Noel asked.
"Not much." Ponek said, getting healed by Mont.
"What are you guys doing here?" Alison asked.
"We couldn't just leave you four alone to fight against three powerful opponents and not get a piece of the action aswell." Dilon said.
"It wouldn't be right to just go back home and let you four risk your lives. You need our help." Nonias said.
"Right." Naan nodded.
"Now, let the real action begin." Noel smirked, holding his ice sword.
Alison and Ponek were ready aswell.
"Tch, four more Omnis doesn't make a difference. You will die anyways." Freya said.
More Miguels appeared and they shot at the Omnis.
Dilon stomped his foot and the Miguels hit the ceiling of the ship. The Ship flew a bit thanks to Dilon's Gravity before he raised the Gravity down and the ship landed back on the surface.
The Miguels crashed on the floor and vanished.
Naan looked at the monitors, spotting Valkyrie and Freya's reflections.
Reflectfreya and Reflectvalkyrie lunged out of the monitors and stabbed both Valkyrie and Freya, much to their surprise.
"SHIT!" Freya yelled.
"MIGUEL!" Valkyrie yelled.
Miguel got up and shot the reflections, both of them shattered in glass pieces.
Miguel summoned more clones and started shooting at the Omnis again.
Nonias made the laser guns come to life and started shooting at the guns.
Some guns shot at Valkyrie and Freya aswell.
Sanar turned to Noel and Dilon.
"Alison's dad in somewhere down in the ship in a prison cell, you have to get him out!" Sanar said.
"Got it! Noel?" Dilon asked.
"Ugh, fine." Noel sighed.
Noel and Dilon ran out of the room.
"HEY, WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU'RE-"
Ponek warped in front of Freya and got headbutted in the face, knocking her on the ground.
She then grabbed her by her head and started to smack her against the wall many times, not stopping at all.
Ponek got blasted by the Miguel's, causing her to drop Freya who has having a massive headache right now.
Naan summoned some ReflectionMiguel's who started shooting at the clones aswell.
The clones fired back, starting a massive shootout between the reflections and the clones.
Valkyrie charged at Nonias, attempting to stab her till she got kicked by Alison, knocking her back.
Alison summoned her Susanoo and looked down on Valkyrie.
"Bring it on." Alison said.
Down in the ship.
Tarus was sitting on the ground, looking sad before he heard someone running right to this direction.
His prison cell door started to slowly freeze and then it got kicked into pieces by Dilon.
Noel and Dilon entered in the cell.
Tarus was surprised by this as he got up.
"Took you all long enough." Tarus said.
"It's not over yet. There is still a battle going on up there. We have to hurry!" Dilon said.
The three ran out of the cell.
"Just for the record, I did this only for your wife and kid, not for you." Noel bitterly said.
Back in the fight.
The reflections and clones were shooting each other.
Ponek was fighting off against Valkyrie and Freya, blocking each of their stabs.
Both of them suddenly teleported.
"Ponek, they-" Sanar tried to say.
Freya and Valkyrie teleported right behind Ponek but Ponek just punched them both in their faces, sending them flying into a wall, without even turning to them.
"I know." Ponek calmy said.
During the clone shootout, Naan sneaked through the huge crowd to find the real Miguel.
She managed to spot him near one of the monitors and was mostly focused on the clones to notice Naan.
Naan noticed a laser gun near her foot and got an idea.
She grabbed the laser gun and...aimed it at Miguel's crotch.
"This is for repeteadly shooting me with lasers, you meanie!" Naan shouted.
Naan pressed the trigger and shot Miguel right in the dick with a laser.
"AAAAAAAH FUCK!" Miguel yelled, holding his crotch in pain.
Without him focusing on them, the reflections easily wipe out the clones.
The Susanoo smacked Freya and it tried to smack Valkyrie, only for her to teleport again.
Valkyrie teleported right behind Mont, ready to stab her.
Mont turned to Valkyrie.
"OH CRAP!" Mont yelled.
Some laser guns that were given life to by Nonias shot at Valkyrie, blasting her.
"Mont, run!" Nonias yelled.
"Got it!" Mont yelled, running away from Valkyrie.
Freya got attacked by the reflections but each one got slashed in half by Freya who looked pissed.
"UGH! I'm getting tired of this shit!" Freya said.
Freya teleported and reappared behind Nonias.
She grabbed Nonias and holds her laser sword against her throat.
"NONIAS!" Sanar yelled.
"One move and this bitch loses her head! Do you hear me!?" Freya asked.
Freya suddenly got stabbed in her abdomen by some flying ice sickles, letting Nonias go.
Noel, Dilon and Tarus entered in the room.
"Get your filthy alien hands off my girl!" Noel yelled
Alison looked happy when she saw Tarus.
"DAD!" Alison said.
Tarus turned to Alison, smiling.
Freya was coughing up some yellow blood out.
"You assholes..." Freya growled.
Valkyrie jumped in front of Freya and charged at the Omnis.
Dilon stomped his foot and Freya, Valkyrie and Miguel hit the ceiling of the ship. Dilon decreased the gravity before raising it and smacking them against the ceiling. Dilon began to decrease and increase the gravity lots of times, while also smacking Freya, Valkyrie and Miguel.
Eventually, he stopped and the Neonytes fell on the floor, looking heavily injured.
"Ugh..." Miguel groaned in pain.
The Omnis looked at the Neonytes.
"Looks like we won." Dilon said.
"Finally." Ponek said.
Alison's Susanoo disappeared and she walked up to the Neonytes.
"...It's over. We're giving you guys the chance to leave now and forget about this. We don't want to kill any of you." Alison said.
Valkyrie looked at Alison, glaring at her, slowly getting up and suddenly looking fine much to the Omnis's shock.
"...It's...not over!" Valkyrie yelled.
Valkyrie puts her hands on Freya and Miguel. Her hands started to glow.
"What is she doing?" Nonias asked.
"...She is healing them. Valkyrie must have red blood." Mont said.
"Can those with red blood do anything else?" Dilon asked.
"Well, Neonytes with red blood have abilities that relate to life. So, she could either be able to tire us out, absorb energy or give a quick boost to other's and they'll do much better in battle than before." Mont said.
"So...I'm guessing she can do the third one?" Sanar asked.
"...Yup." Mont said, not sounding happy.
Freya and Miguel got up, all their injuries gone and looking more better now.
"Thanks...now, let's get this over with." Freya said.
Miguel suddenly summoned lots of Miguels and all of them immediately shot at the Omnis, the blasts hitting them, knocking them on the ground.
After they stopped blasting, Sanar and Naan got up first. Sanar tried to read their thoughts while Naan attempted to some reflections.
Miguel teleported right behind the girls, grabbed their heads and smacked them against each other, easily knocking them both out before he teleported away.
Freya and Valkyrie began to teleport around, stabbing Ponek, Noel, Nonias and Dilon.
Mont attempted to run to the four to heal them but one of the Miguel's was at the computer, pressing some buttons.
Mont suddenly disappeared and reappeared somewhere else.
He looked around and he saw back in the village...on top of someone's house.
"...Ah nuts!" Mont said.
Gaston walked out of his house and it din't take long for him to look up and notice Mont.
"The hell are you doing on my roof!?" Gaston asked.
"...Sightseeing?" Mont guessed.
Back in the ship.
Alison was standing beside her dad, looking shocked by the Neonytes's sudden improvement.
Dilon, despite being stabbed, he attempted to raise the Gravity.
Freya immediately spotted this and grabbed her weapon. She pressed a trigger and released a net, wrapping Dilon it it.
When he tried to release himself, he got electrocuted.
Freya then released a net on Noel and Nonias, wrapping them in the net aswell.
"Then there were three more." Freya smiled, turning to Tarus, Alison and Ponek.
Ponek just looked pissed off.
"You guys are dead." Ponek said.
Ponek charged towards Freya, ready to smack her till she teleported out of the way and Ponek's fist hits the wall, bursting through it.
She immediately pull her hand out of the wall before looking around.
"WHERE DID THEY GO!?" Ponek yelled.
Freya, Valkyrie and Miguel appeared around Ponek and the girls stabbed Ponek while Miguel blasted.
"AH!" Ponek yelled, spitting out blood.
Ponek fell on the ground.
Alison's eyes widened.
"PONEK!" Alison yelled.
Alison ran towards them.
"ALISON, NO!" Tarus yelled.
Alison summoned her Susanoo and punched the floor, knocking the Neonytes on the floor.
"LEAVE MY FRIEND ALONE!" Alison yelled.
The Neonytes immediately got up and looked at the Susanoo.
The Miguel's started rapidly shooting at the Susanoo, causing it to stumble back a bit and Alison couldn't move it because of the blasts.
Freya and Valkyrie jumped at the legs and both of them cut off the legs and the Susanoo landed on the ground.
"SHIT!" Alison yelled.
The Susanoo vanished.
Alison slowly got up and-
Valkyrie and Freya stabbed her In her legs. One laser sword stabbing her in her right leg while the other was shoved in her left leg.
"GUH!" Alison said.
Alison fell on the floor.
Valkyrie and Freya got their swords and aimed them at Alison's head.
"NO!" Tarus yelled, his eyes glowing.
He shot a white beam at the two Neonytes.
Both of them easily dodged that.
"I'LL KILL YOU THREE FOR THIS!" Tarus yelled.
"Ah, there is the Hastur that we know and hate." Freya smiled.
Valkyrie and Freya teleported and both appeared right in front of Tarus.
Both of them stabbed him in the stomach.
Tarus screamed in pain before he fell on the ground.
Alison tried her best to ignore the pain before she saw her father on the ground.
"DAD!" Alison cried out.
"You know what, forget about bringing him back to execute him. Let's just kill him right now cause otherwise, these guys will try to follow us again." Freya said.
"Right...I want to be the one to do it." Valkyrie said.
"Sure, fine by me." Freya said.
Valkyrie walked up to Tarus.
Ponek slowly got up and her eyes widened when she saw Alison.
"ALI!" Ponek yelled.
She ran to Alison.
"Are you okay!?" Ponek yelled.
"...My dad...they're gonna...ah!" Alison said, trying to get up but she couldn't.
"Come on, Ali, you have to get up, now!" Ponek yelled.
"My legs...they...they hurt so much! I can't even stand!...they're...gonna kill him." Alison said, with tears in her eyes.
"You can't give up! Ignore the fucking pain, what's important right now is saving your dad! NOW GET UP!" Ponek yelled.
"...You're...right...I...I..." Alison said.
Suddenly, the Pink Haze appeared in Alison's eyes.
"...Huh!?" Alison asked.
Ponek looked equally surprised as Alison when she saw that.
Alison slowly began to get up, suddenly really strange all of the sudden, feeling pretty powerful.
"...Ali?" Ponek asked.
"...I feel...weird...I'm seeing...Purple now...Ponek, what's going on?" Alison asked.
"...You have the Pink Haze like I do when I get determined...I think I gave it to you somehow. I din't know I could even do that" Ponek said.
"...But...how." Alison asked.
"I guess by determing you into saving your dad, I gave you some willpower maybe...or some other explanation that Mont will explain later, but now you have my strength, so what you have to do now is kick their asses!" Ponek said.
Alison nodded before she turned to Neonytes.
She suddenly ran very fast, causing to Ponek to fall on the floor much to her surprise.
Valkyrie aimed her sword at Tarus's eye.
"...This is for my father." Valkyrie said.
Before she could deliver the final blow, Valkyrie suddenly felt a sharp pain in her stomach.
She slowly looked down and saw Alison's fist right in her stomach, both Freya and Miguel looked surprised.
After a few seconds, staring in confusion, Valkyrie was suddenly sent flying.
"AAAAAH!" Valkyrie screamed in pain.
Valkyrie bursted through the wall of the ship, flying out of the ship and landing in the forest.
"VALKYRIE!" Freya yelled.
"THE WALL!" Miguel yelled, more concerned about the ship's wall than his comrade.
Alison turned to Freya and Miguel, looking pissed.
Tarus was surprised by Alison's sudden strength.
Freya growled before looking at Miguel.
"SHOOT HER!" Freya yelled.
Miguel immediately summoned his clones back and all of them started shooting at Alison.
Alison blocked most of their blasts with her hands before she ran to some of the clones and clobbered some of them, knocking them into walls and they vanished.
Miguel just summoned more clones and many of them started shooting.
Alison summoned her Susanoo.
The Susanoo used it's sword and cuts half of the clones in half.
Many red portals appeared and all of them started shooting at the clones, hitting each and every one of them.
All the clones vanished, except the real Miguel of course.
The Susanoo immediately vanished and Alison landed on her feet, the ground shaking when she did.
Miguel aimed his laser guns at Alison, despite looking scared.
Alison warped in front of Miguel and smacked him in the jaw, sending him crashing into a monitor. This was enough to knock him out.
Ponek just smiled at this.
Alison now turned to Freya.
Freya's looked angry as she charged at Alison with her laser sword.
Alison simply dodged her stab and headbutted Freya in the face.
Freya then teleported and appeared behind Alison.
Alison simply punched Freya in the face again.
Freya teleported again and reappeared but Alison smacked her again.
Alison grabbed her by her neck and began to punch her in the face many times and wasn't stopping.
Freya immediately stabbed Alison in the stomach and was released from her grasp.
Freya aimed her sword at Alison's eye.
"Now, just fucking die!' Freya yelled.
Victor jumped out of Alison's pocket, hissing at Freya before he spits some black ooze all over her face.
"AH! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! WHAT IS THIS BLACK SHIT!" Freya yelled, putting her hands on her face.
While she was distracted, Alison looked at Ponek who simply nodded.
Ponek walked to Alison and they looked at the distracted Freya.
Alison and Ponek began to run very fast, catching up to Freya.
Freya got fisted in the stomach by Ponek while Alison punched her in the face.
Freya got sent flying into the wall as a result and slowly slided down and landed on the floor.
There was a nasty bruise on her stomach and had a scar on her cheek. If she had nose, it would be broken by the punch.
Freya looked at the girls.
"...You-u...cu-unts." Freya weakly said before she closed her eyes.
Alison's Pink Haze disappeared as she sighed in relief.
"We did it." Alison said.
"Yup. We should do this more often." Ponek said.
Alison turned to Victor.
"Good job, Victor." Alison smiled.
Victor happily nodded.
"Alison." Tarus said.
Alison simply turned to Tarus and hugged him. He happily accepted her hug.
Sanar and Naan slowly woke up and noticed the unconscious Neonytes.
"...Um, is it over?" Sanar asked.
"I'm seeing pretty stars." Naan said, seeing green stars from the hit.
"Yeah, it is." Ponek said.
"...Um guys, we're still trapped in these nets and we are doing our best not to move and get electrified to death!" Noel yelled.
Ponek looked around and grabbed Noel's ice sword which he dropped and cuts off the nets, releasing Dilon, Noel and Nonias.
"So, do we go home no-"
Suddenly, Alison pushed Ponek out of the way as a laser was about to hit and hits the wall.
Everyone turned around and saw Freya on the floor, holding Miguel's laser gun, glaring at them.
"...I'm not letting any of you go...I will kill all of you!" Freya yelled.
Miguel slowly woke up and got out of the monitor, rubbing his head in pain.
Tarus glared at Freya as he picked up Noel's sword and walked up to her.
He grabbed her by her neck and lifted the sword against her throat much to everyone's shock.
"DAD, NO!" Alison yelled.
"HOLY SHIT!" Miguel yelled.
Valkyrie, who regained consciousness, walked back into the ship through the hole she flew through, looking pissed before she saw Tarus and Freya and her eyes widened.
"FREYA!" Valkyrie yelled, charging towards Tarus before she got held back by Miguel.
Freya's expression din't change at all.
"...Go ahead. Add another casualty to your big list of Neonytes you killed." Freya said.
Noel simply glared at Tarus, knowing what's gonna happen next.
Tarus just continued holding the sword against her throat and looked like he was about to do it...till he suddenly dropped it.
Freya, Miguel, Valkyrie and Noel looked confused when he did that.
"...If I was the way I was back then 20 years ago, you would be dead right now...but now, I've done enough killing for a lifetime and I'm tired of it." Tarus said.
He dropped Freya on the floor who simply stared at Tarus in shock and confusion.
"...You spared my wife when you invaded the orphanage, so I'll repay you back with mercy. My days as Hastur are over. I'm giving you and your friends the chance to leave now and go back home." Tarus said.
Freya was stunned, not knowing what to say.
Alison just smiled, looking relieved.
Tarus turned to Valkyrie and Miguel.
"If I were you two, I would take it." Tarus said.
Valkyrie and Miguel both looked at each other, surprised by this.
Miguel nodded at her and Valkyrie sighed in defeat.
"....Okay...we'll leave...we'll leave you off the hook and we will never return here again...as long as you will never come back and hurt us ever again." Valkyrie said.
"As I said, I'm tired of being Hastur so you won't have to worry about that ever happening again." Tarus said.
Freya looked more and more confused.
"...I...I...what?" Freya asked in disbelief.
"...Eh, is she okay?" Naan asked.
"...For most of her live, she grew up believing that Omnipotents are the most evil people in the entire universe because one of them killed her own father, believing that he tried to save the race from them...though, she mostly heard all of this from her mother. The others said differently about her father but she wanted to accept her mother's tale being the truthful. Right now, she seems to be trying to process the fact that the ex-Omnipotent tyrant actually showed mercy instead of killing her...but eitherway, it's over now. We'll go back home." Valkyrie said.
"Good." Dilon said.
"Phew." Sanar said.
"...Well, it's good that we are all friends now...but there Is just one problem...dad is gonna be pissed when he is gonna see a giant hole in his ship, along with a broken monitor and a missing door. So....I'm in big fucking trouble now." Miguel sighed.
"...Maybe I could help." Nonias smiled.
Nonias suddenly gave life to the pieces of the wall that were scatted as they slowly united and the wall was back to it's place, as if it was never destroyed. The pieces of the glass went back to the monitor and the door went back to it's place, along with hinges and everything.
"...Oh...um...thanks M'am. You saved me from lots yelling and cursing back home." Miguel said.
"Though, we still have a problem with the engine, the ship can't fly without it." Valkyrie said.
"Hold on a minute." Ponek said.
She suddenly ran out and after three seconds passed, she came back in the room.
"The engine is back in it's place." Ponek said.
"Huh, thank you." Valkyrie said.
Suddenly, Mont bursted in, carrying a giant laser machine gun.
"Okay guys, you asked for it, now let's dance!" Mont yelled.
Noel grabbed the laser machine gun from Mont
"Easy there Rambo, the Neonytes gave up, they are going back home. So, you can cool off your jets." Noel said.
"...Oh...well then..." Mont sighed, disappointed that his badass moment got ruined.
"...Where did you get that?" Alison asked.
"...I found it in the weapon's room...sorry." Mont told the Neonytes.
"...It's okay...you can all go now...we have lots of explanation to do when we go arrive back home. We won't tell anyone that you are still alive." Valkyrie said.
"Thank you." Tarus said.
"Well, you all heard the lady, let's get out of here." Dilon said.
Everyone nodded as they walked out of the room.
Freya was still on the floor, trying to process what just happened.
The Omnis walked out of the ship and it was night outside.
The ship lifted off and it flew into the sky, leaving the planet.
"...Well, good nothing that no one died today." Nonias said.
"Yup." Noel said.
"So, we all go home now?" Sanar asked.
"...Not just yet." Dilon said, turning to Tarus.
Tarus just looked at everyone else.
"...So, I assume Alison told you about who I really am, correct?" Tarus asked.
"Yes...and we weren't exactly happy about that." Dilon said.
Noel was still glaring at Tarus.
"...So, are any of you gonna tell the rest of the village about me?" Tarus asked.
"...If you killed Freya back there, we would of had some serious problems and easily tell everyone about your true identity...but, since your daughter stated that you changed and it was proven when you showed mercy to those Neonytes, I guess you can stay and we won't tell anyone about who you are...that is of course if everyone else is okay with this." Dilon said.
"I don't mind." Sanar said.
Naan just shrugged.
"Well, he showed that he clearly wants to change and both Lucia and Alison care about him so, why not?" Nonias smiled.
Tarus looked at Noel who kept glaring till he sighed.
"...Fine, he can stay...but this doesn't mean that we're friends now or anything, just to be clear." Noel said.
Mont just nodded.
"Yeah." Ponek said.
"Okay then. Now that's settled, let's all go back home and get a nice deserved good sleep." Dilon smiled.
The Omnis as they started to walk back to the village.
"Wait, Noel"! Alison yelled.
Noel turned to Alison.
"What's up?" Noel asked.
"I...um...I'm sorry for bringing up your past, back...you know...I was mad and-"
"Nah, it's not your fault, Kid. I was acting a bit of a dick back there. I shouldn't of snapped at you. I should of been angry with the old man himself. Just so you know, we're both cool." Noel said.
Alison nodded.
Noel turned to Tarus.
"...You better take good care of them." Noel said.
"I will." Tarus said.
"Good." Noel said, before he continued walking
Tarus puts his hand on Alison's shoulder and smiled.
Alison smiled back before they followed the rest.
In Outer Space, in the Neonytes's ship.
Freya, Valkyrie and Miguel were in the room with the Paradox Machine in it. It was silent in the room.
"...So, how are we gonna explain us stealing dad's ship without getting ourselves in serious trouble?" Miguel asked.
"...I don't know, we'll find a good excuse when we get back." Valkyrie said.
She turned to Freya.
"...Are you okay?" Valkyrie asked.
"...I'm...I'm still confused...all of this...I believed that all of them were evil and...and...fuck." Freya said, putting her hand on her face.
Valkyrie puts her hand on her shoulder.
"...It's okay." Valkyrie said.
"...I have lots of thinking to do when I go back home...and...gonna try to find out if what mom said about dad was true or not." Freya said.
"I understand." Valkyrie nodded.
Miguel turned to the Paradox Machine.
"...Are we gonna return that computer thing to Neptune? She might be looking for that." Miguel said.
Trojan suddenly appeared right in front of the Paradox Machine. Wether this Trojan is the one from the main universe or from the alternate universe is unknown.
"You won't have to worry about that. I'm gonna take this baby back to where it belongs to. By the way, something happened a hour ago while you guys were busy with the other Omnipotents. This should bring you up to speed." Trojan said, tossing a newspaper on the floor.
"Buh bye." Trojan said, disappearing with the Paradox Machine.
The three Neonytes looked reasonably about who the fuck was that before Miguel picked up the newspaper and looked shocked.
"...Oh...shit." Miguel said.
Valkyrie looked at the newspaper.
'War Hero Neptune murdered by the Omnipotent Hitman Melnnos. The Nepturians demand retribution'
"...Well...crap." Valkyrie said, looking surprised.
Freya looked at the news.
"...Hmph...serves her right for lying. She wanted fame, now she got it and paid for it." Freya said.
Back on the Frozen planet.
In the orphanage, Lucia and Sandra were sitting down, looking worried.
"...I can't take this anymore. It's been a entire day and they haven't came back. I'm done waiting, let's go and look for them." Sandra said, getting up.
"...Y-yes, we should go." Lucia said, getting up.
At this moment, Tarus, Alison and Ponek walked into the orphanage.
"We're back!" Alison said.
Lucia and Sandra looked surprised.
"You're alive!" Lucia said.
Lucia happily hugged Tarus and Alison while Sandra hugged Ponek.
"I'm so glad that all of you are alive!" Lucia said.
"We're glad too." Tarus said.
"Yeah...um, mom, you're kinda crushing my back with your robot arm." Alison said.
"Oh, sorry, it's hard to control it sometimes when I'm excited." Lucia said, letting go of them.
"We were getting worried sick about you guys!" Sandra asked.
"is everyone else okay?" Lucia asked.
"Yeah. We fought them off but then they gave up and let us go while they went back home. We din't have to kill them afterall." Alison said.
"We won't have to worry about the Neonytes ever again. We can return to our normal lives now." Tarus said.
"Thank Goodness." Lucia sighed in relief.
"Yup...well, I feel pretty tired now. I want to go to bed." Ponek said.
"Yeah, me too. Goodnight mom and dad." Alison said.
"Goodnight Alison." Lucia said.
"Goodnight." Tarus smiled, kissing her forehead.
Alison and Ponek decided to go upstairs while being followed to Sandra.
"Next time when you guys try to fight off aliens, try to invite me next time, okay?" Sandra asked.
"Sure." Ponek shrugged.
Tarus and Lucia looked at each other.
"Looks like some good came out of this after all." Lucia smiled.
"Indeed...now that it's all over, I can focus on trying to fix this world's system, with your help of course." Tarus said.
Lucia nodded before they walked upstairs aswell.
Sometime later, at night.
Everyone else was sleeping in their rooms.
Alison was sleeping in her room aswell while Victor was sleeping in his fish tank.
There was some noise heard on the roof.
Alison slowly woke up when she heard that noise.
"...What the?" Alison asked.
She got out of bed, puts on her slippers before she decided to check out where the noise is coming from.
Ponek was sitting on the roof, staring at the moon.
Alison opened a window and saw Ponek on the roof. She climbed out the window and walked up to Ponek.
"Having a hard time sleeping?" Alison asked.
Ponek looked at Alison.
"Oh, hi...well, yeah...today was a crazy day, you know?" Ponek said.
"...Yeah, I get what you are saying." Alison said, sitting down next to her.
"...You did a good job with my power back there." Ponek said
"It was pretty weird though. I felt like I was on sugarhigh when that happened." Alison said.
"If you use it more often, you will get used to it." Ponek said.
"Probably...thanks by the way. If it wasn't for you, dad wouldn't be here right now." Alison shrugged.
"...Well, I had to help somehow. You don't deserve to lose your dad like I did." Ponek said.
"Speaking of which...are you still upset about that...you know, about not finding your dad's grave?" Alison asked.
"...I'm still a bit annoyed but not that much like yesterday...I really wanted to find his grave so then I can finally be able to tell him that I kept my promise and that I'm still alive and carrying on our legacy. And also tell him about you, Sandra, Lucia, Tarus and everyone else. Tell him that I have some great friends who always make me happy whenever I feel down." Ponek said.
Alison puts her hand on her shoulder.
"I'm sure he knows. And he is proud of you." Alison said.
"...Yeah...thanks Alison." Ponek said.
"For what?" Alison asked.
"...For being my friend." Ponek smiled.
"...You too, Peko." Alison smiled back.
Both of them then turned their attention to the moon.
"...The moon is pretty tonight." Alison said.
"Yup." Ponek said.
Both of them continued starting at the moon till the scene faded to black.
A few days later.
At morning.
Alison and Victor walked outside the village, smelling the air.
"Another day and another training session with Dilon. You ready for this, Victor?" Alison asked.
Victor nodded.
"Okay, let's go." Alison said.
Alison and Victor walked down the hill and going towards the village.
"And so, things went back to normal after our fight with the Neonytes. Everyone went back to doing their normal stuff, dad decided to candidate for leader of the village with mom at his side, helping him with his campaign. Dilon saw the potential in me and decided to make me a pupil and unlock my full potential, saying that I lack skill and I only managed to win against the Neonytes thanks to Ponek's power and that I need to stronger and not depend on my Susanoo all the time. Ponek and Sandra are pretty much back to doing their usual stuff. As for me...I'm just happy. Happy that I no longer have to keep secrets from my friends and can now tell them the truth without worrying about the consequences." Alison's voice narrated
Alison arrived at the village and noticed Tarus talking with the villagers about his plans on fixing the half of the village that was destroyed while Lucia was talking with Cadence's dad, who was revived by Cadence's wish a long time ago.
Alison smiled as she continued walking.
"Hey, Ali!"
Ponek and Sandra ran to Alison.
"Oh, good morning you two." Alison said.
"Morning. Me and Sandra are going to explore a bit, you want to come?" Ponek asked.
"Sorry, Dilon wants me to train with him today, he'll be upset if I skip his session. I'll catch up with you two later." Alison said.
"Sure. See ya later." Sandra said.
Ponek and Sandra walked away while Alison went to the Dome.
Once she got there, Dilon, Sanar and Naan were waiting for her.
"Ah, finally, you showed up. We have been waiting for you." Dilon smiled.
"Welp, I'm here. So, what's today training session?" Alison asked.
"We'll have a little sparing match for today. I want to test our your fear power, to see how effective is in a battle." Dilon said.
"You'll see how effective it is in a few seconds." Alison smiled, getting her guard up. Victor got on her shoulder.
"That's the spirit. Now, let's see what you are made of!" Dilon said.
"Right!" Alison yelled
Alison charged towards Dilon and they both clashed.
"And this is how my story concluded. This village may not be the best place on Earth, but for me, it will always be...Home." Alison's voice narrated.
THE END

Demeter part 1-Alone in Autumn The town was on fire that day.
A lady with long swirling white hair floated gracefully down into a battlefield, with one elegant movement a Rifle appeared in her hand and as she swirled she pulled another out of nowhere, She stopped and even more rifles appeared out of nowhere in a circle formation at her back. She glared at those in front of her.
Policemen in riot gear surrounded the Lady, she kicked herself off one of the shields and into the air; opening fire on everyone below her.
"Athena! What do you think you're Doing!"A Voice could be heard calling out, Against the Backdrop of a Red sky there was a group of 11 People standing opposite to a girl looking to be in her early teens, with long brown hair and haunting yellow eyes.
"Uprooting the Entire System."The brown haired girl, Athena, said simply.
"This isn't uprooting a Entire System!" A male with fluffy black hair wearing a green Dress Shirt said, Walking right up to her, Athena had to look up to see his angered face. "This is complete anarchy! This can't be what you wanted, Can it!?"
"No, No, You're right. It's too chaotic. Too many things are being left to chance."Athena said.
"That's your Power! What did you expect would happen!?"He asked.
"I'm not a Idiot Clietus."Athena said. "People are seeing how dangerous powers can be. Once this night ends, They're not going to be happy, not at-"
Athena suddenly ducked, A Guy with white Hair and black eyes appeared right behind her, Athena rolled out of the way and sent a green blast at him; he got knocked straight into some civillian's house, whoever was inside screamed as glass shattered and something broke.
"Akakios!"A Lady with long blond Hair wearing a matching cardigan screamed. The fluffy haired man looked at Athena with anger as a aura appeared around his fists; They changed to claws and he Pounced right towards her.
Athena sent another Green Blast right to the Man's Chest; it went right through.
"NOOO!"A young Girl with short chesnut-coloured hair wearing a black shirt with a yellow '8' on it, cried out in agony.A Teenager Wearing a Green sweater gripped his own chest with a expression of Pain on his face.
Clietus, the Fluffy Haired Man stared at Athena in confusion, his hands returned to normal and he felt around his chest, finding a absence of anything right in the middle, even she looked like she couldn't comprehend what she just did.
Clietus fell face first without making a sound, his body thumped to the floor.
Athena looked at them all. "...No, No, This could still work."She said. sounding happy. "Oh my god, I...Wow. To think That I...Managed to Kill...a Fellow Omnipotent this... it feels...So..New."She Laughed.
"..Wait, No, No, That can't be it. Shit. I'm trying to stop this."Athena said.
"What are you on about?"A Bald Man with Red Gleaming Eyes asked, his fist tightened around a steel pipe.
"Duh, Powers. Dangerous, People are going to realize this after this shit, aren't they!?"She asked, grinning. "I mean, This feels New, I've never felt this before but... You're not supposed to feel happy about killing someone, so..."
"YOU JUST DID YOU BITCH!"The Bald Man asked, running right for Athena, A Man with Flames coming out of his eyes sprouted into existance right behind Athena and Sent a Torrent of Flames right at him, He blocked the flames from his face with the Steelpipe, but this clothes and hands still scorched.
Shrugging off the Pain, he Lunged towards the man.
And got a knife right into the neck.
Athena looked over the 2 dead omni's. The Flaming Man near her not moving, The Remaining Omnipotents looked at her, all feeling overwhelmed by the sight in front of them.
"Athena...How could you...?"A Lady who looked to be about 30, with Brown hair asked. Looking heartbroken.
"In a battle between two of three of the world's omni's who cared for the world's justice. they both tragically lost their lives in Battles against Dangerous Individuals."Athena said, Before she started to poke herself in the eyes repeatedly; eventually, her eyes started watering; only then did she stop.
Five other People spontaneously appeared, there was something wrong about the way their eyes looked.
"...The Last Omnipotent left was a 16 year old girl."Athena said, eyes still watering, before she ran away.
The Omnipotents and the People Athena had under her control all prepared for a battle.
...
A Couple of Hours Later- everything was totally wrecked, only four omnipotents were left standing. the Dead Omnipotents lay sprawled on the road, the Attackers, weapons, and random vehicles randomly interspeced with them.
The Blond Lady in the Cardigan helped the Brown Haired Lady; Demeter, up to her feet.
"Thank you,Cymopoleia."Demeter muttered, the wound on her chest healing with ease. A Man in a Red Tracksuit; Heron, was crying into the arms of a girl in a white dress, Tethys.
The Teenager in a Green Sweater-the Empathy Omnipotent; Euthymios was lying on top of the girl with chestnut hair, numerous shotgun wounds on his back.
A Lady with short Brown hair and a Striped Shirt lay crushed under a car- the Omnipotent of Relationships; Hera ,
A Man splayed across someone's front yard looked to have been dropped from a large height, the Omnipotent of Logic-Apollo's- Fedora still floating along the wind..
Heron and Cymopoleia looked at the dead bodies of the Omni's they could see, one by one, before making way right to the queen's mansion.
The Town was still burning.
Somehow; The Public Eye began to see the surviving Omnipotents as suspects for causing the riot; all those with powers began to be executed out of paranoia of it happening again.
Demeter heard that Heron and Cymopoleia were found dead right outside the Queen's Mansion, One of them had been bashed in with a beachball filled with pebbles and the other was a blood splatter only identifible by a dna test.
Tethys got blamed for the deaths of Macaria and Euthymios, and executed publically. Clietus and Charon were blamed for the initation of the riots;through their change and madness powers. The two that Athena had killed herself were blamed for what she did, the irony made her sick.
Athena was still alive, but she had reached a high status she must've been after, suppressing chaos- it was easy for her. Demeter Refused to ever talk to her. She Was unable to do anything to her, her power was a healing power. Not good for attacking at all. Noone went after her either, it was a mutual standstill.
It would be pointless to try to kill Demeter, after all, She would just come back to life anyway. It was how she survived the Battle to begin with.
49 YEARS LATER
It was a foggy day, A Young girl and her mom walked along the street, Smoke being given off from a Explosion caught their eyes and they both looked up at the once beautiful mansion right in front of them.
"...Let's just, go home the long way, dearie."The Mother said, the Girl Had no objections and they both turned back the way they came.
Inside the Mansion, was a Guy with A brown-blond coloured mullet wearing a murky green jacket with a goatee, and a Old Lady with a brown dress and grey hair with the occasional brown streak, Both looked dishelved and their clothes showed signs of battle scars that were no longer present.
Lying on the Ground was a lady, an older Athena wearing a short green dress with brown hair placed in a bun, her cold, yellow eyes staring lifelessly at the wreckage that used to be a beautiful mansion, destroyed in the battle that had just occured, Blood Stains Littered the Hallway. The corpse of a Lady in royal garments could be seen at the very edge of the hallway,still sitting on the throne-
"Woo!" The Mulleted One Cheered, pumping his fists into the sky. "That was a Amazing Battle, I tell ya, this Athena chick.Tough one to beat. But, Wowza!"
The Old Lady looked at him as he celebrated, significantly offput by his behaviour.
"Hey, It's cool."He said. "...So, Verita should be done by now. It was nice meeting you Demeter, nice you also decided to not just stop my heart from beating, but especially nice you showed me this really tough daughter of a bitch right here."
"Heh, That's not how my power works, Dearie. But Thank you. With that... monster gone. This world can actually begin to change, and...Everyone else was avenged."Demeter smiled.
Then, she caught on to something The Man had just said.
"Hey, wait, what, Verita should be done? What's Verita doing!?"She asked.
"..She didn't tell you?"The Man asked- flippant, before vanishing in a pillar of Light.
10 Months Later
Demeter had a hard time finding exactly what was missing over the last 10 months, she went around her usual buisness. The Queen's cousin, a young lady, had taken the throne and removed all laws against powers. The stigma remained in the public eye though, But it was more of a 'because they say so' than any emotional reason, bizarrely enough.
Recently; with no celebration, the emotional reactions and reasons for this had returned. Even with Athena dead, the stigma she created in her abandonment of her own element seemed to remain.
It was monday, As per usual, Demeter walked to the graveyard, it was a sunny day and the Yard was filled with light pink tulips and carnelia Bushes. Demeter would think of it as a beautiful sight if she hadn't seen it for over 60 years in a row, Even in this time of great change everything was still the same.
Demeter looked through the gravestones, Clietus and Charon both weren't given any. They were the scapegoats after all, Athena now joined the rest of the omnipotents in their graves.
Demeter sat down in front of Macaria's grave- the Omnipotent of Apathy; the one with short chesnut hair, Without a doubt the youngest of the Omni's when she died. Demeter could tell from her that a power wouldn't always align with those in control of it, Maybe like Athena, Macaria removed all of her apathy so she could properly care about all those she was with.
She was gone now, She'd been gone for 50 years.
Demeter sighed, looking over to Heron's grave. Height always struck her as a bit of a silly power.

A Little girl with red-purple Hair and green eyes was walking through the cemetary. A few insects were buzzing around sunflowers and petunia's in the distance, she held a stick and walked from grave to grave. The Girl's Name was Chetyra Vermeni, she was wearing a white dress shirt and a blue sweatervest, as well as a blue pleated skirt with yellow plaid-patterns on it.
She ran through the graveyard, looking at all the flower arrangements in each different section, there were parts for prestigious families; each with carefully designed gateways with the family crests emblazoned on them, Parts for Lower Class People;More standard flowers, but most graves had floral weaths planted in front of them respectfully by family members.
Chetyra crawled through a bush and found the section for public officers and army millitia, Poppies everywhere.
Chetyra turned her head and saw a single old lady in a section filled with pink roses. Still holding onto the stick, the girl began to walk towards her, crawling through the bush and looking at each othe graves she could see.
there were 9 graves in a row in front of the old lady, who hadn't had any reaction to Chetyra's arrival.
"...What kind of Name is 'Kimp-Oh-Lay-Ah?"She asked.
"Huh?...What was that, dear?"The Old Lady asked. Not voicing her suprise at this little girl appearing from nowhere.
"That name."She said, pointing to Cymopoleia- the Omnipotent of Harmony-'s Grave.
"Well, first of it's Ki-mo-po-lee-ah."Demeter said. "Second off; she was named after the greek god Poseidon's Daughter; Wife of the Storm Giant. I mean, Honestly, what are they teaching you kids these days?"
"Pardon?"The Girl asked.
"Well, nevermind all that."Demeter asked. "...What are you doing here?"
"Exploring."Chetyra Answered almost immediatly.
"Exploring a Graveyard. Why on earth would you want to do that?"Demeter asked.
"I unno, T'was something to do, I suppose."Chetyra said.
"...Her legal name was Anastasia."Demeter said, "..Sweet girl. Didn't deserve what happened to her. Not at all."
"..Why's it say Kimp-Oh-Lay-Ah if her name as Anastasia?"Chetyra asked.
"She was more known by her Omni Name than her actual One."Demeter sighed, "If i was to guess. Most know me as that Lady who's been alive for well over the average lifespan and even then they don't even so much as say good day." Demeter sighed "and then the few that do bother to know my name come out with Joyce, I mean, It's my birth name. But the only ones to really call me what i want to be called are-"
"What would you like to be called?" Chetyra asked.
"Well...My Omnipotent Name is Demeter, so, Just call me that Sweetie."Demeter laughed. "So, What's your name?"
"...Um...Chetyra.."She Said, nibbling on her finger a little bit.
"Hmm, Well, While I'm not sure what you're doing here. It was very nice meeting you."Demeter said. "...Where's your parents?"
"Work."Chetyra said."Dad's a medic, Mom's always-"
"You don't need to tell me that,dear."Demeter smiled, before she frowned upon looking at Akakios's Grave..
"...Um, You were saying this 'Omni Name' thing a bit earlier...What is a Omni Name?"Chetyra asked.
"Well, A codename to protect the true identity of a Omnipotent, i think, it started like that but as it went on i think they just kept doing it because it was cool or something."Demeter said.
"...What's a Omnipotent?"Chetyra asked.
"..Well, there's A large amount of elements in the world, you see. And...In 12 Dimensions there are 12 Omni's each who are given complete mastery of these elements."
"...But that's over 100 Elements."Chetyra interjected. "There's either 4 if your on about the world elements or um...50 if you're on about the chemical elements."
"Well...Some elements get quite silly, for example. Heron, Had mastery over 'Height'."Demeter smirked.
"Hey, I'd love to have Height Powers!"Chetyra exclaimed.
"Oh really?"Demeter asked.
"Yes, I could make that Meanie be the tiny one so i could do whatever i want to him!" Chetyra smiled widely.
"You don't get to do what you want to someone just because you're bigger than them,dear."Demeter sighed.
"Well, that's what he said."Chetyra said, pouting, she sat down in front of a rosebush a bit away from the Omnipotent Graves. "...Where's the other 3 Graves?"She asked.
"Well, two of them didn't get graves because Athena blamed the riot of 64 on them. And, well, I'm not dead. Dearie."Demeter said. "I have mastery over Life. After all."
"...Why don't you bring them back?"Chetyra asked.
"Then they'd suffocate in the coffins."Demeter said. "And besides, from what i've heard. they're all happy where they are."
"...My Dad says They go to hell. Those..powered People."Chetyra said.
"Oh posh," Demeter scoffed. frowning, of course people would say that. She was really annoyed by normal people from time to time, especially younger ones that had never even seen what actually happened.
Demeter looked the girl over- she was now scraping through the mud with the stick she was holding, she flipped it up and revealed a bug was hiding within the flowers, The girl observed it with newfound curiosity, Demeter just smiled at her, before noticing her clothes.
"...You're wearing some...proper clothing there. That's a school uniform, isn't it?"She asked.
Chetyra froze, Looking like she just got caught in a very compromising position.
"..It's a school day isn't it? Are you skipping school?"She asked.
"Um, Gotta go, Nice talking to you!"Chetyra snapped up in alarm, running up the stairs and to another part of the graveyard.
"GET BACK HERE!"Demeter yelled at the whippersnapper, before calming down immediatly afterwards, she looked to the graves and laughed sadly
"Kids these days. Who'd want to explore a graveyard?"She asked herself.
"I suppose it's no matter."She said, when noone responded, she looked at the graves with a lonely expression before she made her way out of the graveyard.
