Note: this is the third installment of the Tournament of the Gods series. Since some of the characters appeared in RP's and stories, I won't bother with their appearance description this time and I recommend checking the Universe 0 tale in the Omnipotents thread for a reason.
PROLOGUE
The story starts out in Universe 3.
More specifically, in England, where the Omnipotent of Lightning, Ceygas, lives in. It was a pretty hot day, even for summer.
It cuts to her house as she was sitting on the furniture, sweating a bit from the heat outside, even with the air conditioner turned on.
"...Sometimes I really hate Summer. Especially days like this. It's like Doged's spirit doing this just to spite me...Well, it's like anyone gives a shit about me being an Omnipotent anymore so..." Ceygas said.
She raised her hand before balling it into a fist.
The sky was now covered in dark clouds, blocking the Sun.
"Much better." Ceygas said.
The sound of knocking on the door was heard and she raised an eyebrow in response.
Ceygas got up and went to open the door, suspecting the person to be either one of her Omnipotent friends, the mail man-
And instead was Natasha, who had the same appearance from the last Tournament but her hair was shorter, holding some documents.
"...Oh, it's you." Ceygas said.
"Hello, Ceygas." Natasha said.
"...Hi. Let me guess, you're here because a new Omnipotent Tournament is starting, right?" Ceygas asked.
"That is correct." Natasha said.
"...And the reason you're here is to include me into this gig." Ceygas said.
"Yes. You are quite sharp." Natasha said.
"It doesn't take a genius to figure why the guardian host's assistant would show up at my home. It's pretty obvious." Ceygas said.
"Indeed. So, are you willing to participate?" Natasha asked.
"...Hm...not sure. What's the prize this time? Another trophy, wish jewel or to save a planet from being sold?" Ceygas asked
"...Well, what would you say if it turned out that the Tournament's prize is...unlimited Knowledge?" Natasha asked.
"...Interesting?" Ceygas guessed.
"Basically, knowledge about...everything really. From how the Universe started, how things evolve, stuff that not even you knew about and etc." Natasha said.
"...It does sound more promising than a trophy or some wishing artefact so...sure, I'm interested." Ceygas said, folding her arms.
"That's nice to hear. So, you're willing to participate?" Natasha asked.
"Duh." Ceygas shrugged.
Natasha pulled out a contract and gives it to Ceygas.
"Just sign your Omnipotent and real name in this." Natasha said.
Ceygas nodded before she looked around for a pen and grabbed one from a table nearby and signed the contract.
"There." Ceygas said.
"Excellent. We will pick you up after a few days." Natasha said.
"We have interdimensional doors that allow us to go to any Universe now. I'll just use that to get to Universe 0." Ceygas said.
"...Very well then. The Tournament starts on 1st August. Don't be late." Natasha said.
"Sure." Ceygas said.
And with that, Natasha walked out of the house.
"...So, I now have to put with different kinds of people in this Tournament...great." Ceygas sighed.
Natasha looked at the list she was holding.
"...Since Universe 5's Omnipotents hadn't been discovered yet...time to go to Universe 1 and pick up two of them...I honestly don't see why bringing this one in the competition is a good idea but I guess Aeon has a reason." Natasha said.
Natasha teleported out of there.
In Universe 1.
It cuts to a large building.
Most of the officies belonged to members of the Grand Council and one office happened to belong to the Omnipotent of Mutation, Sigmund Clair.
Inside the office was the man himself, sitting at his desk with a lot of paperwork and holding a white ancient staff with a skull on it, analyzing it with his eyes.
"...I can safely confirm that this staff...is useless. If Schmidt wasn't an Omnipotent, he would of been fired a long time ago." Sigmund said.
The sound of knocking at the door was heard.
Sigmund puts the staff aside, dropping it on the floor.
"Yes?" Sigmund asked.
Natasha entered in the room.
"Greetings, Sigmund." Natasha said.
"...Hm, the assistant of the Guardian from Universe 0. How unexpected it is to see you. If I had to a betting man, I assume you're here to enroll me for your next Omnipotent Game, yes?" Sigmund asked.
"Correct. You and someone else from this Universe had been selected for this Tournament since Universe 5 is still out of the woods regarding the Omnipotents." Natasha said.
"...Well, forgive me for being brutally honest, but I'm not interested in participating in competitions for a worthless prize that can be easily bought. Besides, I have a lot of work to do." Sigmund said.
"I can see that...but would you still refuse if the prize was something that grants you unlimited Knowledge?" Natasha asked.
"...Unlimited Knowledge?" Sigmund asked, suddenly sounding very interested.
"Yes. It will grant you the infinite Knowledge about the Universe, Omnipotents, realms and other significant information." Natasha said.
"...Heh...that...sounds very interesting, indeed...you are not lying just to get me involved in this, are you?" Sigmund asked.
"No, of course not. We wouldn't get anything out of this by lying to you." Natasha said.
"I see. Very well, I accept your proposal." Sigmund said.
"Alright. Now, just sign..." Natasha said, before she suddenly stopped.
"...Hm? Is there something the matter?" Sigmund asked.
"...I felt like I sensed something...familiar...but it's probably just me." Natasha said.
"You are in a Universe far different from your's so don't be surprised if you are feeling a bit weird. So, just sign?" Sigmund asked.
"Yes, sign this contract." Natasha said, putting it on his desk.
Sigmund signed and gave it back to Natasha.
"When does it start?" Sigmund asked.
"On 1st August. Since Interdimensional doors now exist, we'll be expecting you in Universe 0." Natasha said.
"Alright. Now with that settled, you are free to walk out of my office." Sigmund said.
Natasha simply nodded and walked out of Sigmund's office.
"...What was that just now? I felt a strange familiar energy...very dark energy." Natasha said.
Natasha simply shook her head off before she walked out of the building.
Sigmund picked up the staff.
"...A gift that can give you instant knowledge...yes, it will prove useful to me than this piece of junk. I'll have Dyrre dispose of this by putting it back to where he found it. Better tell Ygorn that I'll be taking a temporary break for a few days." Sigmund said.
It cuts to a house that was in the middle of the neigbhourhood.
Inside the house was the Omnipotent of Chemicals, Akemi Kimura, the daughter of the admin of F1, Fujiko Kimura.
She was currently watching TV.
A member of the Council was being interviewed by a reporter.
"Well, Fujiko's death was a great tragedy for me but we can't grieve forever. All that we can do is simply move on and continue living for the people that we care about. Like for example, my daughter, Akemi, who-"
At that moment, Kimura turned off the TV.
"...Bullshit." Kimura said, glaring at the TV. If glare's could destroy, her glare would of decimated the TV in pieces.
She turned her head when she heard knocking on the door and answered it.
It was Natasha, of course.
"...What do you want?" Kimura asked.
"Hello, Akemi. I'm here to-"
"To announce me about a new Omnipotent Tournament. Not interested." Kimura said.
"I know it must be a tough time for you right now, I'm sure, but the prize for this Tournament will be-" Natasha said.
"Read my lips:Not.Interested." Kimura said.
Kimura then slammed the door shut.
When she turned around, Natasha was right behind her.
"...How the hell did you?" Kimura asked, backing away from her slightly.
"I have my ways. Now, I wasn't quite finished. The prize for this year's tournament will be a thing that grants instant Knowledge." Natasha said.
"...And?" Kimura asked, folding her arms.
"Well, I figured you would be interested in this prize. It could give you some knowledge about your Universe and about your family." Natasha said.
"I already know what about my mom tried to do with that computer thing by trying to save me, Jasmine and plenty of kids from being killed by the aliens. Atleast now I know that she isn't that much of a piece of shit but...could you just go?" Kimura asked.
"Not yet. Also, someone from this Universe will participate aswell. I believe it's a member of the council, Sigmund." Natasha said.
"...That guy, huh? Of course he would participate when it comes to knowledge and all that shit." Kimura said.
"So, will that be enough for you participate?" Natasha asked.
"...I could give less of a shit about this Tournament...then again, the thought of Sigmund winning this thing makes my stomach turn so...fuck it, I'll join." Kimura said.
"Alright. Just sign this contract." Natasha said.
Kimura did that.
"Now leave." Kimura said.
"As you wish. I'll be expecting you in Universe 0 on 1st August." Natasha said.
Natasha walked out of the house.
Kimura sat back on her furniture, sighing.
She picked up her phone and dialed Jasmine's number.
"...Hey, Jas?...That Tournament thing is starting and I'll be participating. And you know who else will be participating?" Kimura asked.
Next was Universe 2.
In the large forest next to the now Technological advanced village.
Gafust, the Omnipotent of Destruction, was currently laying against the ground, right in front of the lake, with his eyes closed. He appeared to be sleeping judging by the snoring he was making.
While sleeping, a leaf from a tree landed on his nose.
"Mh...mhhhh...ACHOO!" Gafust sneezed.
Suddenly, the tree exploded into pieces.
"...Geez, why does this always have to happen when I sneeze?" Gafust asked.
Gafust then puts his head against the ground, trying to fall asleep again till Natasha comes by, blocking the Sun's view.
"...And you are?" Gafust asked.
"I'm Natasha. Aeon's assistant." Natasha said.
"Oh, yeah, you're the one who always picks up the Omnipotents for new Tournaments...you're here to pick up one of us?" Gafust asked.
"Indeed. And you're the candidate for Universe 2 this time." Natasha said.
Gafust grinned the moment he heard that as he got up.
"Took you guys long enough. I thought I would never be selected for this shit ever. So, what's the prize?" Gafust asked.
"Unlimited Knowledge." Natasha said.
"...Sounds meh. But, fighting against strong Omnipotents will make up for that. Count me in." Gafust said.
"Good." Natasha said.
Natasha handing him the contract.
"Just sign your Omnipotent and real name in this contract." Natasha said.
Gafust did that.
"Kay. When does the thing start?" Gafust asked.
"On 1st August. Meet us in Universe 0." Natasha said.
"Alright. Can't wait." Gafust smiled.
Natasha then walked away.
"...HELL YEAH!" Gafust cheered and 5 tree's exploded as a result.
"...Fuck." Gafust said.
Next was Universe 10.
Natasha was wearing a coat as she marched towards the Ice Dome.
Inside, Dilon was currently watching Sanar and Naan as Sanar was currently dodging multiple attacks from Naan clone reflections. Sanar was using Naan's thoughts to avoid the upcoming attacks.
Naan was creating more reflections to rush Sanar and cause her to fall on the ground.
Sanar eventually spotted the real Naan by gathering her thoughts before she avoided a kick from a Naan clone and jumped on each of their heads till she reached Naan and pushed her on the ground.
"Of!" Naan said.
All the reflections then vanished, as the shove broke her concentration.
Naan raised her head.
"Ah, not again." Naan frowned.
Sanar held her hand out for Naan.
"It was a good match." Sanar said.
"...I guess...but I still couldn't beat you." Naan sighed, grabbing Sanar's hand and got up
"You'll have more luck next time." Sanar said.
"That was an excellent match, you two." Dilon smiled, as he walked up to the girls.
"Was it?...I barely landed a mark on Sanar." Naan said.
"Perharps, but on the bright side, your reflection ability is stronger than before. It will prove useful when fighting against a much more stronger opponent." Dilon said.
"I guess so." Naan shrugged.
At that moment, Natasha entered in the dome.
Dilon and the girls turned around.
"Ah, Natasha, was it?" Dilon asked.
"Yes. Hello, Dilon." Natasha said.
"Nice to see you again. We haven't saw each other since...well, the last Tournament fight that took place here." Dilon said.
"Indeed. And I'm sure you must know why I'm here." Natasha said.
"To select Naan for the next Tournament? Atleast that's what I gathered by reading your mind." Sanar said.
"...M-Me?" Naan asked.
"Yes, you. You had been chosen for the next Tournament." Natasha said.
"...Hm...I'm not sure about that. Sure, Naan is more stronger than she was back those years ago...but..." Dilon said.
"If you're worried about her getting infected by being in the presence of the other Omnipotents, don't. She will be okay." Natasha said.
"...What's the prize?" Naan asked.
"Unlimited Knowledge. Or you could just participate for the sake of making friends if the prize isn't that interesting to you." Natasha said.
"...Are...there any bad Omnipotents in this Tournament?" Naan asked.
"...Possibly only one but if he does anything extreme, he will get disqualified." Natasha said.
"...O-Okay....um...sure...why not?" Naan guessed, but looked unsure.
"You know you can simply refuse, right, Naan?" Dilon asked.
"...N-No, it's okay...I want to do this...maybe I can become much stronger during this Tournament or something like that...I'm tired of losing at every match anyways." Naan sighed.
"...Okay then." Dilon said.
"Just sign your Omnipotent and real name here." Natasha said, giving her the contract.
Naan looked a bit confused but she does what Natasha said...and also puts a butterfly mark on the contract cause why not before handing it over to Natasha.
"We'll be waiting for you on 1st August in Universe 0." Natasha said.
Naan nodded.
Natasha turned to Dilon.
"She will be alright." Natasha said.
Natasha then walked out of the Dome.
"...Well...this was...unexpected." Dilon said.
"I think Naan can handle this. I'm sure of it." Sanar said.
"...Thanks, Sanar." Naan said, even she looked a bit nervous.
"...Naan, all I can say is that you don't have to be scared when you will be with the other Omnipotents. Become friends with some of them if you want...and make sure to crush anyone who stands in the way of your victory!" Dilon said, raising his fist, trying to give Naan confidence.
"Y-Yes, Dilon!" Naan said, putting on a brave face.
In Universe 8.
Natasha was walking through the city which was looking much better than it was before as she walked into a bar nearby.
The bar was full of Kschlvokyans obviously and on the stage was Aika, the Omnipotent of Presence, who was currently singing.
When she hits the high note, the Kschlvokyans started clapping.
"Thank you, thank you, darlings!" Aika waved at the audience.
Aika then walked off the stage and sat at a table nearby, looking exhausted before pouring some Whiskey into her glass and drank it all.
Natasha walked up to her.
"Nice song." Natasha said.
"Why thank you, miss...Ah, Natasha, it's you." Aika smiled.
"Yes. I'm here for a reason." Natasha said.
"The Tournament obviously." Aika said.
"Indeed." Natasha said.
Aika looked around the place.
"...Since there is no Omnipotent here besides me, I'm gonna assume Aeon wants to pick me." Aika said.
"That is correct." Natasha said.
"Sweet. What's the prize?" Aika asked.
"A gift that gives you unlimited Knowledge. Knowledge about everything really." Natasha said.
"...Hm, seems interesting enough. I guess I could use it to find out why the hell our Universe is human free...so, I guess it would be fun." Aika shrugged.
"Alright. Just sign this contract and go to Universe 0 on 1st August, that's when we'll start." Natasha said.
Aika signed the contract.
"Alrighty. See you there, doll." Aika smiled.
Natasha raised an eyebrow at being called 'doll' but shrugged and left the joint.
Aika grabbed phone and messaged Simon, telling him that she is gonna be busy cause a new Tournament started.
In Universe 6.
It cuts to a house that was completely covered in beads in a village.
Inside was Iknaa, the Omnipotent of Breath, who was sitting on her knees on a pillow at a table and eating some soup.
In the corner of the room was a green snake with red patterns on it, sitting in a cage, who hissed at her.
Iknaa turned her head to the serpent.
"...Oh, you must be hungry, aren't you, Apep?" Iknaa asked.
Iknaa got up.
"How selfish of me." Iknaa said.
Iknaa walked towards a fridge, opening it and pulling out a chicken wing.
She tossed the chicken wing into the snake's cage as it began eating the chicken wing, not leaving a trace of meat behind.
Iknaa sat back at the table, smiling.
"Enjoy your dinner." Iknaa said.
A knock was heard on the door.
"...Now who could that be?" Iknaa asked.
Iknaa got up as she opened the door, revealing Natasha.
"...And who might you be?" Iknaa asked.
"I'm Natasha, the assistant of the guardian who hosts the annual Omnipotent Tournaments." Natasha said.
"Ah, yes, the competition in which Houdini, the Pharaoh and Etanfe participated in. I assume you're here to choose me?" Iknaa asked.
"Yes. And the prize is Unlimited Knowledge." Natasha said.
"...Hm...Knowledge...that sounds like something that only the Omnipotent of Knowledge could offer but...the prize sounds very interesting I admit." Iknaa said.
"Are you willing to participate?" Natasha asked
"...I suppose so. Very well, I'll gladly join." Iknaa nodded.
"Just sign here." Natasha said, handing her the contract.
Iknaa signed the contract.
"I'll be expecting you on 1st August, in Universe 0." Natasha said.
Natasha then walked out of her house.
"...I should tell the Pharaoh about this...and also have Houdini feed Apep while I'm gone." Iknaa said.
Iknaa then sat back at the temple.
"And I should practice my element a bit before I go into the competition if I want to win this." Iknaa said.
Next was Universe 11.
It cuts to a military base.
Cirak, the Omnipotent of War, was in his office, talking to Mibyll.
"What's the status on those dipshits who were working for F11?" Cirak asked.
"Well, the judge basically declared them all guilty as they confessed what they did under Eldirass's commands and since most of them are Metalmen and Neonytes, they had been imprisoned in a prison world." Mibyll said.
"That's good. Now with them out of the way, we can refocus on keeping our Universe safe and make sure that the alliance between the Universes leaders doesn't fall apart because of any inconvenience. Got that?" Cirak asked.
"Yes, sir." Mibyll said.
"You're dismissed." Cirak said.
Mibyll nodded as he walked out of the office and Natasha walked right past him.
"Oh, hi, Natasha." Mibyll said.
Natasha turned to him.
"Hello, Mibyll. I'm here for General Cirak. Is he there?" Natasha asked.
"Yeah, sure, he is there. Why?" Mibyll asked.
"It's that time of the year again." Natasha said.
"Ah, a new Tournament...um, not sure if bringing the general into the game is a good idea considering how he acts with others." Mibyll said.
"You let us worry about that." Natasha said as she walked into his office.
Cirak looked from his paperwork and saw Natasha.
"Greetings, General." Natasha said.
Cirak got up and saluted her.
"Greetings, Ma'am. And welcome to Universe 11." Cirak said.
"Thank you. I'm sure you know why I'm here." Natasha said.
"Obviously, for a new Tournament. Who is the lucky one from my Universe this time?" Cirak asked.
"The lucky one happens to be you, General." Natasha said.
"Me? Huh, that's...that's quite an honor for me to participate in this Tournament, Ma'am. I thank you!" Cirak said.
"Don't mention. Now sign this contract and arrive in Universe 0 when the Tournament starts on 1st August." Natasha said.
Cirak signed the contract.
"I'll do my best to knock out all my opponents in this Tournament and not let my Universe down!" Cirak said.
"Thank you for your cooperation. I'll be leaving now." Natasha said.
Cirak simply saluted her again as she walked out of the office.
"At last, I've been chosen for a Omnipotent Tournament. It's time I show those amateurs the full fury of General Cirak!" Cirak said.
In Universe 7.
Amij, the Omnipotent of Flight, was currently sewing up some holes in his superhero costume, possibly by the criminals he was fighting against.
There was a note on the fridge, from Ray, telling him that he is meeting up with the other Guardians about something and he'll come back later, before going on that the food is in the fridge and etc.
"...Ray sure has been busy lately ever since he joined up with the Other Guardians. I wish I had stuff to do with Other Omnipotents besides fighting crime...I don't I interacted that much with the Omnipotents back on that ship with everything that was going on...I din't even get to ask a Omni girl on a date." Amij said.
Natasha was knocking at the door.
Amij puts his hero suit down as he floated towards the door and opened it.
"Oh, hi. Ray isn't home." Amij said.
"That's alright. I'm here to see you, really." Natasha said.
"See me? Who are you?" Amij asked.
"I'm Aeon's assistant, the one who hosts the Tournaments involving Omnipotents." Natasha said.
"Oh, yeah, I forgot about that...wait, don't tell me...you're here to pick me?" Amij asked.
Natasha nodded.
"Awesome sauce! So, what's the prize?" Amij asked.
"A gift that grants you infinite Knowledge." Natasha said.
"Huh, cool. So, is there anything I need to do to be in this Tournament?" Amij asked.
"Just sign the contract and we'll see you in Universe 0 on 1st August." Natasha said.
"Sweet." Amij said, as he signed the contract.
"We'll be waiting." Natasha said, as she walked out of the house.
"...Woohoo! I'll be in the new Tournament! I can't wait!...And maybe I'll meet some hot chick there too and ask her on a date..nice." Amij smiled.
And in Universe 9.
Natasha appeared in front of the Omnipotent's castle as she knocked on the door.
A few minutes passed and Lake eventually opened the door.
"Oh, Natasha. I guess you're to pick up one of us for the Tournament?" Lake asked.
"I assume you figured that out with me being here?" Natasha asked.
"Well, Gafust just texted Lekulia, bragging about how he is gonna participate in a new Tournament so that's how we knew...and also what you said." Lake said.
"I see. The chosen one who will represent Universe 9 will be...Lionel." Natasha said.
"...Um...Lionel...well, he isn't exactly as he used to be before Verita died...but if you insist." Lake said.
Lake turned her head.
"Lionel, get over here!" Lake yelled.
Lionel walked by.
"What's wrong, Lake?" Lionel asked.
He then turned to Natasha.
"...Oh, you're here." Lionel said
"Yes. I'm here to select someone for the new Tournament." Natasha said.
"And that someone is you, Lionel." Lake said.
Lionel's eyes shrunk a bit in response.
"...Um, me...I...do not think that's...a good idea. I'm not exactly the strongest and I would just make things...awkward to say the least...especially after what happened back those years ago..." Lionel said.
"Dude, we kinda redeemed ourselves for that by helping out Universe 10 with that Kacaj asshole. Everything is cool now. Don't worry about the others giving you shit." Lake said.
"I guess but...maybe someone else will want to participate...hey, Lekulia, do you want to be in the new Tourney?" Lionel asked.
"Been cheated once out of that competition because of the bitch, not gonna be cheated twice." Lekulia's voice responded from a distance.
"...Laerz?" Lionel asked.
"Nope." Laerz responded.
"Lyle?" Lionel asked.
"Been there, done that." Lyle responded.
"Liern?" Lionel asked.
"Nah." Liern responded.
"...Lake?" Lionel asked.
"Lionel." Lake said.
"Gah, alright, fine...I'll join." Lionel sighed.
"Just sign the contract and we'll be expecting you in Universe 0 on 1st August." Natasha said.
Lionel, hesitant, signed the contract.
"...Okay." Lionel said.
Natasha walked out of the castle and left.
"...This is gonna be troublesome." Lionel said.
"Oh, don't be like that. It will be okay, trust me." Lake said.
"...If you say so." Lionel frowned.
In Universe 12.
Milana, the Omnipotent of Regeneration, was currently at her own Dojo, sitting on a bench as she was looking at her students who were practicing.
She din't seem to be focused as she was thinking about something.
"Something on your mind I presume?" A voice asked.
Milana's head turned and a green old turtle man wearing glasses was there.
"Oh, hello, Nulucus." Milana sighed.
"Mind if I sit?" Nulucus asked.
Milana gestured at him to sit and he did so.
"...Your students are doing great from what I'm seeing." Nulucus said
"Yeah, they are...shame that one student isn't here anymore." Milana sighed.
"...You mean Sidra?" Nulucus asked.
Milana simply nodded.
"Ah, I see, you're still thinking about him?" Nulucus asked.
"...Yes. Ever since he's been exiled I've been thinking about him...if only he chose a better path and avoided F at all costs...he would be here." Milana frowned.
"Don't guilt yourself over his actions. You did the best you could with him. Now he has to pay the consequences." Nulucus said.
"I suppose...but still. Hopefully he'll live long enough to become the new Omnipotent of Thirst." Milana said.
"Hopefully. It probably won't be long till I go away eventually and a new young one with potential to replace me." Nulucus said.
"Don't talk like that." Milana said.
"Look at me, Milana. I'm an old stick at this point. Not even Demeter lived for such a long time. And as they say, the new generation-" Nulucus said.
"Always surpasses the old one." Milana said.
"Mhm. You are currently young right now and it's your job to raise the new generation and teach them a few valuable lessons, to prevent them from committing the same mistakes that the old generation did...and hopefully, Sidra will learn from his lesson." Nulucus said.
"...You have a point. Thank you, Nulucus." Milana said.
"Do not mention, dear. We'll, I'll see you later." Nulucus said, as he got up and walked out of there.
"...Just don't get yourself killed wherever you are now, idiot." Milana sighed.
Natasha appeared on the scene, walking towards Milana.
"Hello, Milana." Natasha said.
Milana turned to Natasha and got up.
"Ah, Natasha. What a pleasure to see you." Milana said, bowing to her
"There's no need for that." Natasha said.
"Is a new Omnipotent Tournament starting?" Milana asked.
"Yes. And you had been selected for this Tournament, to represent Universe 12." Natasha asked.
"Me?...I see. This should be interesting then. Well, count me in." Milana said.
"Just sign the contract and we'll see you in Universe 0, on 1st August." Natasha said.
Milana nodded and signed the contract.
"Oh, and you can tell the others competitors that Kyuubi Zi once said: 'Bring it On'." Milana said, cracking her fists.
"Very well. I'll be seeing you at the Tournament then." Natasha said.
Natasha then left the dojo as Milana folded her arms and turned to her students who were still practicing and smiled.
And now, Universe 4.
It cuts to Eamon's temple.
Sothot, the Omnipotent of Reality, was sitting under a tree, holding a sheet of paper and a pen, he seemed to be writing a poem.
"...Her Beauty is Great, Wondering mind till She sees, Finishing is all I do, While waiting for the moment, for her to say 'I do'" Sothot said.
Natasha was walking right towards him.
"...Hm...I believe it's perfect enough. I should put this somewhere where it can't get dirty or destroyed." Sothot said.
"I see you are a big fan of poetry." Natasha said.
Sothot turned his head to Natasha.
"Indeed I am. Now, may I ask why you are here, interrupting my thoughts?" Sothot asked.
"It should be obvious. The New Omnipotent Tournament." Natasha said.
Sothot puts the paper aside, sighing.
"That game again?...Did you come here to choose me?" Sothot asked.
"Yes." Natasha answered.
"...And what will I gain from this? What is so valuable that you will need me to participate in this charade?" Sothot asked.
"The prize this time is an object that gives you Knowledge of anything at all." Natasha said.
"And what will Knowledge help with me exactly?" Sothot asked.
"...It could give you some insight about your son perhaps-"
"Okay, I'm gonna stop you right there...I don't have a son." Sothot said.
"...If you say. But still, it is a one time thing and might not come up again. Are you willing to refuse such a gift?" Natasha asked.
"...When you put it like that...it would be a disappointment if I missed it...very well, I accept." Sothot sighed.
"Very good. Now sign the contract and you have to show up in Universe 0 on 1st August." Natasha said.
Sothot signed the contract and gave it back to Natasha.
"Alright." Sothot said.
Natasha then vanished.
"...I just wish everyone would just forget about him and pretend that he never existed. It would do me some good." Sothot said, resting his head against the tree.
Eventually, the fated day has arrived.
Ceygas was at the train station, waiting in line as people were handing over tickets to a person who was standing in front of a interdimensional door, each ticket with a Universe's number on them. Ceygas had a ticket for Universe 0.
She simply kept waiting and waiting till she was next.
"So, where are you going, Ma'am?" The person asked.
"Ticket for Universe 0." Ceygas said, giving him the ticket.
The person nodded as he sets the coordinates to Universe 0 and the door opened, revealing a image of Universe 0.
Ceygas walked through the portal.
She reappeared in Universe 0, at the City of Environment...and frowned when she saw the 5 Omnipotents from other Universes, those being Gafust, Naan, Sothot, Amij and Aika.
"...Oh great, we have Captain Boom Boom, Dilon's...student/daughter/niece?, guy that looks like Hastur, teenager and...Aika." Ceygas said.
"Nice to see you too, sugar." Aika said.
"...Hi." Naan said, nervously waving at her.
Sothot simply ignored Ceygas and her comment.
"Where the hell is Aeon, let's start the action already." Gafust said.
"The others aren't even here yet, we should wait." Amij said.
"Waiting is no fun." Gafust frowned.
Eventually, Milana appeared next and joined the Omnipotents.
"Ah, Milana, looks like we are in the same Tournament together." Aika smiled.
"Indeed we are, Aika. May be the best one win." Milana said.
"Likewise." Aika said.
Next was Iknaa who walked to the Omnipotents and nodded.
"Greetings." Iknaa said.
"Hi." Ceygas said, not sounding enthusiastic.
Next was Cirak who saluted the Omnipotents.
"Good day, fellow Omnipotents!" Cirak said.
"Oh God, this guy is here too." Ceygas thought in her mind.
Next were Sigmund and Kimura.
Everyone...did not look exactly happy when seeing Sigmund coming through the portal.
Sigmund looked at each Omnipotent and was disappointed.
"...Not the opponents I was expecting...and oh, look, a Omnipotent teenager. This is gonna be painful." Sigmund said.
"...Dude, I don't even know you." Amij said.
Kimura was simply glaring at the rest of the Omnipotents as she walked away from Sigmund.
Ceygas simply stared at her.
Naan was standing a bit far away from the crowd the moment the two Omnipotents from Universe 1 appeared.
The next 10 minutes pass and Lionel showed up, carrying a luggage with him
"Dude, what took you so long, we've been waiting for you to show up for 10 minutes." Gafust said.
"...Sorry...been mentally preparing myself for...whatever is gonna happen next." Lionel sighed.
"...I see." Iknaa said.
"...So, everyone is here. Aeon and Natasha shouldn't be that far off from where we are." Milana said.
"Are we gonna have to wait for them too?" Amij asked.
"Not quite." Aeon said.
Everyone turned and saw Aeon and Natasha right behind them. Aeon's appearance did not change at all since last season.
"Greetings, my fellow Omnipotents. I'm pleased to have you 12 participating in this year's new Tournament." Aeon said.
"Gee, thanks." Kimura frowned.
"I will not disappoint!" Cirak said.
"Does the Tournament take place in Universe 0?" Aika asked.
"No. We'll go into my ship. Follow us." Aeon said.
Aeon and Natasha began walking and the Omnipotents looked at each other before they followed the two.
They walked out of the city and went into a forest till they arrived at a large empty space.
"...Alright, we're here." Aeon said.
"...Here? I don't see the ship anywhere." Amij asked.
"It's invisible, honey. I know this cause I can see it." Aika said.
"I can literally sense it." Lionel said.
Sigmund simply looked at Sothot and Gafust but said noting.
"You are correct, Aika. Natasha, cancel the spell.." Aeon said.
Natasha as she clicked her fingers and Aeon's star shaped ship from the first season was suddenly in front of them as the massive door that leads into the ship opened.
"Once the ship takes off, the Tournament can begin." Aeon said, as he and Natasha walked into it.
The Omnipotents enter in the ship aswell, the last ones being Lionel and Naan who looked hesitant as they walked into the ship.
The door closed as the ship started lifting off and took off to space, leaving the Earth.
The new Tournament of Omnipotents has officially started.

CHAPTER 1 THE EGYPTIAN SCAVENGER HUNT
Aeon's ship was now floating in space and it was far away from Earth.
Inside the ship, the 12 Omnipotents were watching the view from space.
"...I should be excited about being inside a ship in the middle of space...but consider I was on a ship a few days, I don't find it that awesome anymore." Amij said.
"Might aswell enjoy the view. It might be the last time you'll see space like this." Aika said.
Ceygas simply shrugged before she turned to Aeon and Natasha.
"So, now we're here. So, what's the first challenge?" Ceygas asked.
"In a moment. The challenges of this Tournament will be the same as the other Tournaments before the one that took place years ago which involved mostly fighting. But this time, the challenges of the Tournament will be based on your Universes's culture and rules." Aeon said.
"...Are the challenges...dangerous?" Naan asked
"Depends on how you view the challenges really. Some are easy while some are pretty hard." Aeon said.
"Eh, not a problem. As long as there is a fighting challenge, I'm in." Gafust said.
"I would be more careful about going in blind into a fight that you might not win, young one." Iknaa said.
"Who asked you?" Gafust asked.
"Have some respect for people who are more older than you are, boy!" Cirak said.
"Thank you." Iknaa said...before she realized something.
"...Did he just call me an old person?" Iknaa thought in her mind.
"So, with all those pointless questions out of the way...what is the prize that grants you unlimited Knowledge actually?" Sigmund asked.
"Yes, I'm curious about that aswell." Sothot said.
"Ah, the prize, of course." Aeon said.
Aeon puts his hand in his pocket and pulled out a box.
When he opened the box, it was glowing brightfully orange, causing Ceygas, Naan, Milana and Lionel to close their eyes.
Inside the box was a orange floating orb.
"...Shiny. Cool." Kimura deadpanned.
"...What is that?" Aika asked.
"It's the Ball of Knowledge. It contains the power of Unlimited Knowledge." Natasha said.
Suddenly, a hologram appeared in front of everyone. It was Lalog.
"FYI, made by me. I created the ball by using my Knowledge and transferred the things that I know about into the ball. Whoever touches the ball will be hit with limitless knowledge...though, if you are sensitive, you might suffer a seizure or something like that. Well, that's all." Lalog said.
And with that, her hologram vanished.
"...Cool." Amij said.
"...Very interesting." Sigmund smiled.
"Of course Lalog had to be the one to make it." Gafust frowned.
Aeon closed the box.
"Now that's settled, the rules are the same as before. In each challenge, a Omnipotent will be eliminated by the end of it for not completing a task. The last Omnipotent standing will win the grand prize and go back with a lot of useful knowledge." Aeon said.
"Well, I won't be going home anytime soon, sugar. You can count on that." Aika smiled.
"I admire your confidence, but I wouldn't hold my breath if I were you." Iknaa said.
"I am perfectly ready to kick each and every one of your butts back into your Universes if any of you stand in my way!" Cirak said.
"Oh great, here it starts." Ceygas sighed.
"Starts what?" Naan asked, looking concerned.
"The stupid rivalries that happens between some Omnipotents when it comes to competition. So stupid that it leads to kill them almost killing each other." Ceygas explained.
"...Does that...happen...often?" Naan asked.
"...Well, Kelou once stabbed Putgerr just to win this thing...but that was just a one time and no more stabbings happened after that so." Ceygas said.
"Oh...okay." Naan said.
"The first challenge will start in about...10 or 15 minutes. We are currently in stage 0. Go to stage 3 to unpack your stuff in the hotel, look around perhaps and then go to Stage 1 for the first challenge. In stage 2, there is a training session for those who wish to prepare themselves for the next challenge. Understood?" Aeon asked.
"You got it, boss man." Amij smiled.
"Clear as crystals." Lionel frowned.
"Good. I'll see you all after a few minutes. Now, take your time to unpack your stuff." Aeon said.
The Omnipotents left the area to go the stage 3.
Aeon turned to Natasha.
"You should go and pick up the notes before we go to Universe 6." Aeon said.
Natasha nodded as she walked off.
In stage 3.
The Omnipotents arrived there and some of them went into the hotel to unpack their stuff while some were checking the area out.
Sothot was looking at the walls, with his hand on his chin.
"...Interesting. I wonder what materials Aeon needed to use in order to make a ship as huge as this. Probably took him quite awhile before he started these Tournaments." Sothot said.
"Considering he is from Universe 0, I suspect he used the materials from the City of Techno. The parts that remained intact from the demon invasion." Sigmund said, who was suddenly next to Sothot.
Sothot turned to Sigmund, not reacting to him suddenly being next to him.
"...And you might be?" Sothot asked.
"Sigmund Clair. Pleasure to meet you." Sigmund said.
"...I see. My name is Sothot." Sothot said.
"I heard about you...I also heard a few stuff about a certain Omnipotent from your Universe. His reputation is the reason why your Universe is quite popular after all." Sigmund said.
"...Who are you talking about?" Sothot asked.
"Oh, come now, you know who I'm talking about. The dictator. This ship certainly reminds me of the one that he had which he used to travel to other worlds and conquer them." Sigmund said.
"...Yes, he did. So?" Sothot asked, looking a bit irritated.
"...I noticed that you look quite similar to him. Why is that?" Sigmund asked.
"...We just look similar. That's all. Now, if you excuse me, I have to drop all that I have in that hotel over there." Sothot said, walking past Sigmund.
Sigmund simply stared as he watched Sothot going into the hotel before he turned his attention to the area around him.
Lionel was watching Sigmund before he turned to Cirak.
"...I don't feel comfortable around that guy." Lionel said.
"Ha, you shouldn't feel comfortable around that asswipe. That guy is the worst of the worst, let me tell you." Cirak said.
"...If he is the worst, then how come the ISP haven't arrested him yet?" Lionel asked.
"Even with the evidence that the Guardian from Universe 1 presented to us, it isn't enough for an official arrest. The Universe 1 Government has more influence than you can imagine and immediately destroy any shred of evidence that makes them the culprits." Cirak said.
"Well, that sucks." Lionel said.
"But fear not, cause one day, he will eventually screw up and pay like the rest of the bastards who are like him. And I will make it my duty to knock this son of a bitch out of the game." Cirak said, before he walked away.
"...Somehow, I have a hard time seeing you take someone down." Lionel muttered.
"You seem quite agitated." Iknaa said, behind Lionel.
Lionel immediately turned around and sighed.
"...Don't...do that again." Lionel said.
"Forgive me. I just saw you looking very...tense, to say the least. May I ask why?" Iknaa asked.
"...Well...it's just...things hadn't been easy ever since...Verita...and most of our friends died. Universe 9 got a pretty bad reputation for that." Lionel said.
"I see. I'm sorry to hear that. But even so, bad reputation shouldn't distract you from your current goal, which is to win the competition. Isn't that the reason you participated?" Iknaa asked.
"...Not really, I was kind dragged into this. I din't want to come to begin with." Lionel said.
"Well, who knows, maybe this tournament will help you find your courage and get your head back in the game." Iknaa said.
"...Maybe...I guess." Lionel said, unsure.
"Is there anything else you want to discuss?" Iknaa asked.
"...Yeah...how is it that Universe 6 Omnipotents don't have the same names as the Egyptian Gods? Universe 5's Omnipotents have the same names as the Greek Gods. I'm surprised that Universe 6 doesn't." Lionel said.
"...That's mostly because we respect our Gods and don't want to insult them by wearing their names. That is why. Exception being of course the Neonytes who name themselves after gods." Iknaa said.
"Ah, okay. Good to know." Lionel said.
"You can learn more about our culture through our scrolls. I have some with me if you wish to find out more about us." Iknaa said.
"...Maybe later after the challenge...I guess." Lionel said.
Iknaa nodded before she walked off while Lionel watched her leave.
"...Hm." Lionel simply said.
Milana was simply looking at the building in front of her with her arms folded as Aika walked up to her.
"Hey, Foxxy." Aika said.
"Huh? Oh, hello, Aika. How are you doing?" Milana said.
"Nothing much. I already put most of my stuff in the hotel so I'm just waiting for the challenge thing to start." Aika said.
"I see. That's what I'm waiting for aswell." Milana said.
"...So...hope you don't get mad by asking...how is Sidra?" Aika asked.
"Still exiled." Milana responded.
"Oh, okay...well, better exiled than being dead, am I right?" Aika asked.
"I suppose...he accepted the exile during trial...he wants to repent himself for all the crimes that he did while he was working with F, aswell as for protecting those two criminals." Milana said.
"Oh, yeah, those two...well, both of them are now dead so Universe 8 can now have a brighter future with those fuckers out of the way." Aika said.
"Good to hear...is the F that you formed in your Universe still around?" Milana asked.
"F8 is still around yes...Simon is now running charge since F killed Yaruda...we are doing the best we can to help out people who really need our help and we won't let them down this time. F gave us a shitty reputation thanks to her schemes involving the other F's but we will recover eventually." Aika said.
"I see. Well, I wish you the best of luck." Milana said.
"Thanks." Aika smiled.
Inside the hotel, Ceygas was at the reception, with a bored look on her face and Naan was also there, sitting on the chair and avoiding eye contact with Ceygas so far.
Ceygas looked at Naan.
"...So...feeling well?" Ceygas asked.
"...I guess so? So far, I hadn't met a person that made me feel or sick...like that guy from those years ago." Naan frowned.
"Oh, right, that happened...well, atleast you are now okay." Ceygas said.
"...Those two...the scientist guy and the scary lady with white hair...they're from the same Universe as that guy?" Naan asked.
"They're from 1 so I guess so." Ceygas said.
"...They're kinda scary." Naan said.
"From what I heard about Sigmund, I don't blame you. As for the girl...apparently she was the daughter of that F woman called Kimura...so I guess she is putting on the angry tough girl act cause she is still grieving over the loss of her mom." Ceygas said.
"...Even if she is angry about her mother, why does she take it on us?" Naan asked.
"Some people have different ways to grieve I guess...even if their ways may be stupid or irrational." Ceygas said.
Naan din't really understand but she nodded.
Amij was currently walking around in the hotel, walking past rooms till he spotted a open door and peered his head in to see who is inside.
Inside was Kimura, who was currently pulling her stuff out of her baggage while tossing some clothes from her baggage on the bed.
"...So...seems like you are not having so much fun like us right now." Amij said, entering in.
Kimura immediately stopped as she turned around and set her gaze on Amij's form
"...Did I give you permission to enter in my room?" Kimura asked.
"...Um, no...I just." Amij said.
"You have 5 seconds to get out of my room unless you want to leave with a broken skull." Kimura threatened.
"Hey, hey, chill, I just wanted to properly introduce and hopefully we could become...why does the room smell like a cake factory in here?" Amij asked.
"3 seconds passed, now get out of my room or else!" Kimura said, approaching Amij.
"I-" Amij said.
"Are you deaf or something? Get out!" Kimura yelled, getting in Amij's face.
"KAY!" Amij yelled as he flew out of the room and out of the hotel entirely.
Kimura closed the door, sighing
"...I shouldn't of agreed to be here to begin with." Kimura said.
Kimura then walked to one of her bags and opened it, revealing lots of sweets and desserts that she brought along with her on this trip, all of them were covered in plastic.
She picked up one cupcake and ripped the plastic off it.
"Thankfully, I have these with me to help me relax while I'm still in this train of misery." Kimura said, as she took a bite out of the cupcake.
Outside the hotel, Amij was getting some breath back in his body as Gafust walked up to him.
"Dude, you're tired already? You won't win the challenge if you're exhausted." Gafust said.
"Thanks for the tip." Amij sarcastically said.
"What happened, had a little fun with one of the ladies?" Gafust asked.
"Ha, I wish. That scary girl flipped on me when I took one step in her room. She is really pissed." Amij said.
"Eh, she doesn't seem that scary to me. You'll probably have better luck next time." Gafust said.
"Nah, I don't think so. No way am I taking my chances with her." Amij said.
"Thankfully, I already have a girlfriend so I can give you some dating tips." Gafust said.
"Really, who's your girlfriend?" Amij asked.
"Lekulia, duh. I impressed her by causing explosions in the sky, making them look like fireworks. Fuck candy and flowers, explosions are the best way to conquer a woman's heart." Gafust said.
"Huh, I guess." Amij said.
"I guess Universe 2 is lucky when it comes to girls. Gevnik managed to score with Mika." Gafust said.
"Wait, Mika? As in Mika Vanderhook?" Amij asked.
"Yeah, her. The two got together after he won the tournament and eventually, she temporarely moved into Universe 2 cause...yeah, honestly, it's pointless telling you this. I'm sure you don't want to hear the gross details." Gafust said.
"...Okay?...wait, are you talking about Ashley-" Amij said.
"Everyone, meet me in Stage 1 for the first challenge." Aeon's voice was heard in the area.
"...Welp, it's showtime. I'll tell you more later, dude." Gafust shrugged, before he walked away.
Amij was confused but he shrugged as he followed Gafust and everyone else followed along.
In stage 1, everyone was in front of Aeon and Natasha.
"Alright, so what's the first challenge?" Milana asked.
"The first challenge takes place in Universe 6. Iknaa's Universe." Aeon said.
"Huh, interesting." Iknaa said.
"And what is the challenge?" Sigmund asked.
"The first challenge is a scavenger hunt to say the least. You all will need to retrieve valuable artefacts, each artefact belonging to each 12 Omnipotent from Universe 6. The last one who doesn't bring an artefact, or accidently destroys it loses the challenge and is eliminated." Aeon said.
"I'll be sure to be careful then." Aika said.
"...How are we supposed to find the artefacts exactly?" Lionel asked.
"We'll give each of you a note with the artefact and the Omnipotents who owns it, aswell as directions to where the items are. Natasha?" Aeon asked.
Natasha opened a portal to Universe 6 and she and Aeon went through it. The rest followed aswell.
The Omnipotents arrived on Earth, in the middle of the desert.
"...Already back home after being gone for...30 minutes I presume." Iknaa said.
"The sun here is worse than on my Earth, that's for sure." Ceygas said, sweating.
Sigmund was looking around.
Natasha walked up to them with the notes.
"Each of you will pick a note. You are not allowed to exchange the notes." Natasha said.
Sothot was the first one to pick a note. His note showed the symbol of Sickness and a bottle with some green liquid inside it. On the back of the note were directions that would take him to the place where the bottle is.
Sigmund picked up the next note. It showed him the symbol of Breath and a bracelet with 7 beads, each of them having the colors that form the rainbow.
Naan's note had the symbol of Mercy and a praying idol.
Cirak's note had the symbol of Magic and a mask.
Ceygas's note had the symbol of Mischief and a staff.
Gafust's note had the symbol of Artefacts and the head of a monkey statue
Lionel's note had the symbol of Insects and a beetle bug
Iknaa's note had the symbol of Sand and the pharaoh headdress.
Aika's note had the symbol of Crystals and a crystal that is glowing with light
Milana's note had the symbol of Hair and some hair strands
Kimura's note had the symbol of Youth and a red dress
And Amij had the note of Necromancy and a...heart...a literal heart.
"...Is this a heart?" Amij asked.
"Yes. Each of you have atleast 40 minutes to go to each place, collect the item and get back here. As I said, last one who makes it here without an item or if it's destroyed, he or she gets eliminated." Aeon said.
"Well, that's just nice." Ceygas frowned.
Sigmund was the first one to start as he was no longer with the crowd.
"...Well, he is gone. I don't want to be last so I'll off." Milana said, as she ran off, following the instructions on the note.
Sothot warped himself out of there while the rest went off on their own way.
Naan was the last one to leave as she was paying attention to the directions and did not see the group leaving. She eventually looked around and saw they were gone.
"...Oh." Naan said, before she ran off too.
"...I'm curious how this will turn out." Aeon said.
Natasha shrugged in response.
It cuts to Iknaa.
She simply went to Hikrat's palace and entered in, since Hikrat was the Omnipotent of Sand, obviously he had the pharaoh headdress and thankfully, she was his advisor so she was allowed to get in.
Iknaa arrived in the throne room and found Hikrat, sitting on his throne, talking on a phone that he received to talk with the leaders and he was arguing with someone.
"No, no, how many times do I have to tell you that it just won't work? Look, shut your mouth and listen to me. I don't care who you are, do you understand?" Hikrat asked.
Iknaa walked up to Hikrat.
"My pharaoh." Iknaa said.
Hikrat turned to Iknaa, looking confused.
"I thought you were in the tournament. You din't lose, did you?" Hikrat asked.
"No, my pharaoh, I'm here because of the challenge. May I borrow your headdress? It's important if I want to win." Iknaa said.
"...My headdress?...Hm, you promise to give it back, yes?" Hikrat asked.
"Yes, my pharaoh." Iknaa nodded.
"Good. I'll give you the headdress only if you help me settle a dispute with the queen from 5. She is giving me a headache and we can't seem to reach a common ground." Hikrat said.
"...You want my help with this?" Iknaa asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Yes. You are my advisor, surely you can think of a solution to end this argument." Hikrat said.
"...Ugh, very well. What is the problem?" Iknaa asked, looking annoyed by this.
Next it cuts to Aika, who was currently standing in front of Etanfe's house.
She looked at the note and saw that she had to pick up a crystal that's glowing with light.
Aika looked out the window and spotted Etanfe sleeping on the couch, with a chicken wing held in his hand.
Deciding not to make a mistake, she made herself invisible before slowly opening the door and entering in.
When she looked around, the entire house was filled with crystals, it was hard to tell which was one which.
"...Well...this is gonna take awhile." Aika said.
Aika picked up one crystal and began shaking it a bit, to make it glow with light.
The crystal instead shoots a beam that hits Aika and electrifies her. This caused her spiky hair to glow with electricity.
"...Okay, that's not the one." Aika said, before tossing the crystal away and picked up another.
The crystal activated...and it now resembled a disco ball.
"...Nope." Aika said, throwing the crystal away and picking yet another.
The crystal shoots a beam at Aika...and it turns her into a human.
Aika took a good look at herself and when she touched her head, she had spiky orange hair instead of spikes.
"...Hm...this is what being a human is like?...Yeah, screw this." Aika said, before using the crystal to change herself back to her normal form.
She then began picking up many crystal and was shaking them, getting tired of this.
It cuts to Gafust, who was in front of an old building.
The entrance explodes into pieces and Gafust goes in.
The entire place was filled with artefacts. It was hard to find the head monkey statue with the pile he surrounded himself with.
Gafust looked at the note again before he looked around.
"...Geez, how am I gonna find the thing when it's buried in this place?" Gafust asked.
Gafust just picked one artefact and tossed it away after seeing that it wasn't the one.
He began going through a artefact pile, trying to find the statue.
It then cuts to Lionel, who was in front of a cave.
He looked at the note before looking at the cave and gulped a bit.
"...Okay, Lionel...you can do this...don't embarrass Universe 9 by getting yourself kicked out first...it's just a creepy...dang cave. That's all...no Others or any monsters. Just a simple cave in which you have to find a beetle, that's all." Lionel said, giving himself courage.
Lionel sighed a bit before he slowly walked into the cave.
Inside, it was filled with lots of insects and spiderweb.
"...Shit." Lionel said, looking at the insects, feeling a bit afraid as he could sense someone's presence in the cave. Possibly the Omnipotent of Insects herself.
Lionel continued walking through the cave, trying his best to ignore the tiny insect creatures, pushing his way through the web that was blocking his path.
He began looking around for the beetle.
"...How hard is it to find a damn beetle?" Lionel asked, while looking behind him.
And he ended up getting caught in some web.
"Ah!" Lionel screamed.
Lionel grabbed his sword and cuts through the web, alerting the insects of his presence.
"...Oh crap." Lionel said.
6 spiders descended down, surrounding him.
"...Um...hi...little spiders." Lionel awkwardly smiled.
"...What are you doing in my sanctuary?" A voice asked, definitely not the spiders.
"...I'm...Lionel...the Omnipotent of Sense...and since I can sense your presence nearby...I assume you are...Hasina?" Lionel asked.
"...Indeed, I am." Hasina said.
A part of the cave illuminated, revealing Hasina, sitting on cobweb. Her hair was white and filled with web, a spider was seen descending down from her hair and was wearing a blue and black dress and her calm eyes were set on Lionel.
"...Let me ask you again: why are you here?" Hasina asked.
"...I'm here...because of a challenge. I'm a participant from the new Tournament and I have to collect...a beetle from your cave. That's all. I won't kill it or harm it in any way." Lionel said.
"...Hm...you seem to be speaking the truth atleast...though the question is...do you like insects?" Hasina asked.
"...Yes, of course I do." Lionel said, sweating a bit.
"...Then let's put that to a test. If you pass this without crusing my children...I'll let you borrow the beetle." Hasina smiled.
"Oh, that's nice. Well, let's do this." Lionel said.
Hasina nodded.
Suddenly, the spiders climbed on Lionel and stood still.
Other insects were crawling towards Lionel, getting on every part of his body and standing still.
"W-what are they doing?" Lionel asked, looking freaked out.
"They are standing you, testing you to see if you're willing to crush them. If you won't, then they will get off you. It's as simple as that. You can handle this, correct?" Hasina asked.
"...Hope...fully." Lionel said, looking like he was about to crap in his pants.
Ceygas was walking on the desert and stopped when she reached a temple with the symbol of Mischief on it and spotted the staff, shoved in the staff.
"...Huh, there it is. Guess I won't have to put with some tedious challenge after all." Ceygas said.
when she reached the staff and grabbed it, it turned into dust.
"...Are you kidding me?" Ceygas asked.
"Ha ha, you figured it would be that easy?" A voice asked.
Ceygas simply turned and Haji, the Omnipotent of Mischief was right behind her, smiling, while holding his real staff.
"...Oh, it's you." Ceygas said.
"Indeed. It's me, Haji, the Master of Mischief. And the reason you're here is because of this?" Haji asked, gesturing at the staff.
"Yup. Could you give it to me so then I won't have to beat the crap out of you and win this challenge easily, pretty please?" Ceygas asked.
"...Let me think about-No." Haji said.
"...I said please." Ceygas frowned.
"...Tell you what...if you can grab me or in some way touch me...I'll give you the staff...think of it as a game of Tag." Haji said.
"...Okay...that seems easy." Ceygas said.
Ceygas clicked her fingers and some lightning struck Haji.
Haji suddenly turned into mud.
Ceygas was now surrounded by 7 Haji's.
"Which one is the real Haji? Try to figure it out." Haji asked.
The Haji's then disappeared.
"...For fuck sake." Ceygas facepalmed.
Meanwhile, Sigmund was standing in front of Iknaa's house that was covered in beads.
He tried to open the door and it was locked.
It cuts to the inside of the house...and an axe bursted through the door.
The axe was pulled out and the door was hit again, making a massive hole in it.
Sigmund tossed the axe aside and entered in the house through the hole he made.
He looked around for the bracelet with the beads that matched the colors of the Rainbow, looking at all the beads that covered the house.
"...Hm..." Sigmund said.
Next was Sothot, who was walking in the desert and was following the instructions.
He arrived at his destination...which was a giant dome made out of green cloudy gas it seemed.
"...That doesn't look healthy...if this was a creation of the Omnipotent of Sickness....it wouldn't be a good idea to go through that...I have to warp my way in there." Sothot said.
Sothot then warped himself out of the desert and attempted to warp his way through the gas.
It cuts to Naan who was standing in front of someone's house.
She then proceded to do what she normally does:knock on someone's door. Because it's a polite thing to do.
Naan knocked on the door and waited for the person to answer.
Eventually, a woman with short brown hair, wearing a yellow robe opened the door, looking at Naan with confusion.
"...Hello...little girl?" The woman asked.
"Hi...I think we've met before in that large ship thing...I'm Naan." Naan said.
"...Yes, I think I saw you there. My name is Hatan." Hatan said.
"Nice to see you again...um, I hope you don't get mad...but I'm currently in a game and in order to win the challenge...I have to take an idol from you...but I'll only borrow it and give it back to you once I bring it to the host man." Naan said.
"...Hm, okay...well, come inside." Hatan said.
Naan nodded as she entered in the house and Hatan closed the door.
Cirak was currently knocking on the door of a large tower.
"Oi! Houdini, answer me!" Cirak yelled.
Houdini opened the window and looked down.
"Oh, the rude general from Universe 11. What brings you here to Universe 6?" Houdini asked.
"I'm a contestant of the new Tournament, six arms. And I need a mask from you in order to win the challenge." Cirak said.
"Ah, you mean my one of my ancestor's mask." Houdini said.
"Yeah, that. Can you give it to me?" Cirak asked.
"...Hm...I'm afraid...not." Houdini said
"What!? Are you refusing a commander from Universe 11, soldier!?" Cirak asked.
"I don't mean to offend you, Cirak...but every time you touch something, you break it with your bear hands when you get mad. I don't want to upset my ancestors by giving you the mask and have you destroy it." Houdini said.
"That's nonsense and you know it. Now give me that mask before I have to rough with you, baldie!" Cirak said.
"The Gods once said that Hostility is calling card of a weak intellect. Forgive me, but no." Houdini said, before he closed the window.
"...Oh, so he wants a battle? Then I'll give him one!" Cirak said.
Meanwhile, Milana was currently climbing on a house...that was completely covered in hair.
She reached the window of a bedroom and looked inside.
In a completely pink room was a woman with really long hair that covered most of her face except the left half of her face and was wearing a black robe. Kehn, the Omnipotent of Hair. She was currently looking at herself in the mirror.
"...Oh, will I ever manage to find someone young and handsome to actually like me...those Omnipotent people looked really cute back in that ship...But I don't know which one to pick...that one with the guitar and brown hair looked very nice...but the muscular one and his friend from Universe 9 also looked cute...ugh, I really can't decide who to pick!" Kehn said, pulling her hair.
Milana simply watched...looking a bit disturbed.
Kehn then began smelling her hair.
"...Ah, it stinks again. I have to take a shower." Kehn frowned.
Kehn puts the mirror aside as she walked out of the room and into the bathroom she went.
Milana slowly opened the window and entered in the bedroom.
"...With how massive her hair is, she must of left some of her hair strands around." Milana said, sniffing the place.
"...Ugh, the smell of so much hair...it makes me want to vomit." Milana said, shaking her head.
Kimura was in a different village entirely, staring at a palace with the statue of a woman wearing a blue dress, long yellow hair, blue eyes and a necklace with a pyramid on it. Kaam, the Omnipotent of Youth.
"...Disgusting." Kimura said.
Kimura then opened her jacket, revealing many pockets in the inside of her jacket, each filled with vials containing different kinds of chemicals. Each of them had a label on them, showing which one is which. She picked up a vial, with the label 'Invisibility' and drank it.
As a result, she blew steam out of her nose as a minor side effect before she turned completely invisible.
Kimura then opened the door and entered inside the palace, walking past some muscular guards.
The guards turned around, looking at the open door.
"...Did you open the door?" The guard asked.
"...Not me. Must of been the wind." The other guard shrugged.
Kimura was just casually walking through the palace, walking past many sculptures of Kaam and reached her throne room.
Inside was Kaam herself, sitting on the throne while getting a massage from a muscular bodyguard.
"...It's a beautiful day today...to be beautiful. Am I right or am I wrong?" Kaam asked.
"Of course not, my lady. You are beautiful as always." The bodyguard said.
If Kimura was visible, she would of visibly cringed before she spotted a door at the end of the room.
She walked past Kaam and her bodyguard and went out of the room through door.
Kimura climbed on the stairs and reached Kaam's room, which looked elegant and perfectly clean.
"...I have to find a red dress. Must be in her closet." Kimura said.
Kimura opened the closet and it was filled with dresses.
She picked up one dress and tossed it on the floor when it wasn't the right one.
She picked up more dresses and tossed them all on the floor.
Amij was standing in front of a giant black tower.
He looked at the note, seeing the Heart and gulped.
"...Well...let's go." Amij said, looking a bit afraid.
Amij opened the door slightly and went inside.
He was in a large area, filled with prison cells. Each cell contained a skeleton.
Amij looked at each cell.
"...No heart in there." Amij said.
Amij began walking very slowly, past each and every cell there was.
He reached the centre of the area and there was Minkah, the undead Omnipotent of Necromancy, who's hands were wrapped in chains that were connected to the walls, preventing her from escaping. She was standing on her feet but she appeared to be sleeping...and the heart was right next to her foot.
"...Fuck...no, no, don't be afraid...she is asleep...and you could just use the flight thing to make the heart float right towards you...seems easy enough, am I right?" Amij asked.
Amij then looked at the heart and concentrated.
The Heart slowly began to float and it was going towards Amij.
Minkah then woke up and opened her mouth, grabbing the heart with her teeth.
"Ah crap!" Amij said.
Minkah was snarling as she tried to break out of the chains, attempting to get Amij.
Back at Iknaa's house.
The house's floor was filled with beads that were laying on the floor as Sigmund was pulling beads from the walls, looking at them.
He threw the beads that weren't the right ones till he spotted a chest that was nearby.
Sigmund opened the chest and inside was the bracelet with the colored beads.
He picked up the bracelet and smiled.
"...Lucky me." Sigmund said, before putting the bracelet in his pocket.
The sound of hissing was heard as Sigmund turned to spot Apep, Iknaa's pet snake, in it's cage, hissing at him.
Sigmund looked at the snake, getting an idea.
It cuts to Sothot, who was inside the green gassy dome.
The entire area he was in was covered by the cloudy gas, it was hard to see anything.
This caused Sothot to cough a bit, starting to feel a bit ill.
"...Ugh, I have to find the bottle and get out of here. Otherwise, this place will become my tomb." Sothot said, putting his hand on his mouth.
Sothot spotted the bottle with the green liquid.
He quickly picked it up and warped himself out of there.
He reappeared outside the dome.
"...Ah." Sothot said, looking relieved before looking at the dome.
"...This bottle must of been very valuable to the Omnipotent if he went through all the trouble by putting this sickening barrier here." Sothot said, before he warped out of there.
Next was Ceygas, who was currently chasing one of the Haji's in the desert.
"Will you stop running already!?" Ceygas asked.
"You have to catch me first and then I'll stop!" Haji said.
Ceygas simply aimed her hands at the sky and Haji got struck by a bolt of lightning, stabbing him in the back and knocking him on the ground.
She ran up to his body and grabbed his staff.
"Alright, this one must be the real-" Ceygas said.
The staff dispersed into leaves, along with Haji. It was another fake.
"...Are you shitting me right now!?" Ceygas asked, looking angry.
Haji's whistle was heard and Ceygas turned, standing there in the distance with his back turned.
Ceygas ran towards Haji and grabbed him with her arms.
"Okay, now I got you, now give me the-" Ceygas said.
Ceygas suddenly felt like needles shoved in her arms.
The Haji she was holding was actually a cactus.
Ceygas let's go off the cactus and looked at her hands which were now slightly bleeding from the cactus.
Her eyes were glowing yellow and was doing her best not to let out a huge 'Fuck' that would probably be heard by every person in the multiverse...till she got an idea.
"...Alright...if this won't do...then nothing will." Ceygas said.
Ceygas's form turned into lightning and went into a cloud in the sky that was nearby.
Ceygas, now controlling the cloud, separated into many other clouds and began searching for the remaining Haji's.
The clouds managed to find the other Haji's before beginning to shoot each and every one of them with lightning.
The Haji's got struck and disappeared...all except one Haji. The real one.
The real Haji immediately got up and tried to conjure up more illusions of himself.
Ceygas jumped down from one of the clouds and kicked Haji in the face, knocking him on the ground, dropping the staff.
She looked at the unconscious Haji before picking up the staff.
"...Tag. You're it." Ceygas said, before she zapped back into the cloud and proceded to jump to each cloud to get to Aeon much faster this way.
Iknaa was currently on the phone with the Queen of 5.
"...I'm thankful that you agree." Iknaa said, before giving the phone to Hikrat.
"Yes, it's just like my advisor said. Now, we can do this, correct?...Good." Hikrat said.
He hanged up and looked at Iknaa.
"Good job, you helped me get that woman off my back." Hikrat said.
"Anything I can do to help my pharaoh...now, the headdress?" Iknaa asked.
"Oh, right." Hikrat said.
He pulled the headdress off his head and gave it to Iknaa.
"Return it to me once you are done...with whatever you need my headdress for." Hikrat said.
Iknaa smiled and nodded before she ran out of the palace.
Back with Gafust.
Most of the artefacts were on the ground, each of them were smashed thanks to Gafust carelessly dropping them.
"...Come on, where is the damn...AHA!" Gafust smiled, pulling out the head monkey statue out of the artefact pile.
"Yes, yes, I got it. Now time to get the hell out of this place and win the-" Gafust said.
His victory speech got interrupted as a large ferocious snake bursted through the wall and roared at Gafust.
"What the fuck!?" Gafust asked.
The snake shot fire out of it's mouth, attempting to hit Gafust.
Gafust dodged the fire and a explosion occurred, knocking the large snake into a wall.
Gafust then began to run out of there along with the artefact.
The snake regained consciousness and smacked the artefact out of Gafust's hand with it's tail.
"Hey!" Gafust yelled.
The artefact landed in the snake's mouth...and ate it.
"...You son of a..." Gafust said, looking angry.
The snake roared, approaching Gafust..
BOOM!
The snake exploded into bloody pieces.
The snake's head landed right in front of Gafust.
Gafust then looked through the mouth, trying to see if the artefact was there and it wasn't.
"Fuck, where the hell did it go!?" Gafust asked.
Gafust then ran towards the snake's remains, trying to find the artefact while getting his hands covered in it's guts.
Back with Naan.
She was currently sitting at the table with Hatan while holding the idol.
"...Then I helped him get his father back home and thankfully, he survived." Hatan said.
"...That's good." Naan said.
Hatan nodded.
"...I haven't saw him ever since...I heard he is a guardian now, protecting the core from any threats. I hope he din't forget about me" Hatan said.
"I'm sure he probably din't." Naan said.
Naan then looked at a clock that was nearby and her eyes widened.
"Oh, scrap, I have to get back to the host! I'll give this back to you after I show him this!" Naan said, gesturing at the idol.
Hatan nodded.
Naan then ran out of the house and went to where Aeon was.
Lionel was now entirely covered in bugs, insects and everything else.
"...You din't crush any of them at all for 10 minutes. I'm impressed." Hasina smiled.
"...Can you...get your 'children'...off me please?" Lionel asked.
Hasina clicked her fingers and the insects get off Lionel, who's eyes were completely white.
A beetle landed on his hand.
"As reward for not killing any of my children, you will take the beetle with you. And if you crush it-" Hasina said.
"Yes, yes, I get the picture. Thank you." Lionel said.
Lionel then walked rapidly out of the cave while he still could.
Once he was out of the cave, he looked more traumatized than he was before.
"...I'm gonna kill Lake by the end of this." Lionel said, as he walked back to the meeting place.
When it cuts back to Cirak, he was now in his Susanoo Tank, right outside Houdini's tower.
"Alright, Hou, I tried to be nice but now you gave me no choice!" Cirak yelled.
The Tank then drove right into the door, denting it a bit.
The Tank then drove back a bit before slamming into the door again, damaging it.
Houdini opened the window, looking down.
"Cirak, please, quit it! My mother is trying to sleep! Stop trying to break my door!" Houdini said.
"To hell with your door and your mom!" Cirak said.
The tank hits the door again, this time smashing with success.
The Susanoo Tank went into the tower and stopped in front of three entrances: one on the left, middle and right.
The Tank began scanning for the mask and it was located in the room on the right.
The Tank went in the room and it was filled with magical items.
The mask was on the wall.
Houdini teleported in by using his magic.
"I'm too polite to say this: but this has gone too far." Houdni said.
Houdini's hands were glowing as he shot magic balls at the tank.
The tank easily dodged the balls and shot a beam at Houdini.
Houdini blocked the beam with a magic sphere before he levitated the tank and began hitting it against the wall.
Cirak pressed a button and the tank shot missiles at Houdini, exploding on him instantly and knocking him on the floor.
Cirak ran out of the tank, grabbed the mask and went back in the tank.
"Who's the weak intellect now, you Alakazam looking dipshit?" Cirak asked.
When it cuts to outside the tower, Cirak's Tank bursted through the wall and drove off.
Houdini slowly lifted his head as he watched the tank leaving.
"...May the Gods Bless you." Houdini said, before he fell unconscious.
Back to Aika.
A blue light was visible through the house's window.
"No." Aika's voice said.
Next was a red light coming through the window.
"No." Aika said.
Next was a green light.
"GOD NO!" Aika yelled.
And now it was a orange light.
Inside the house, Aika now turned into a giant Kschlvokyan dinosaur.
"...This is stupid." Aika-Zilla said.
Aika-Zilla then shook the crystal and she was returned back to her normal form.
She tossed the crystal aside and picked up another one, glaring at it.
"...Kay, Bub, here is a deal: you better be the crystal glowing with light or else I'm gonna smash you and the rest of your little brothers and sisters into pieces. Get it? Good." Aika said.
Aika shook the crystal and it was the crystal glowing with light.
"See? I knew we could be able to reach an understanding." Aika smiled.
Aika then walked out of the house with the crystal.
Etanfe was still asleep. He must be one hell of a sleeper.
Amij was standing in front of Minkah, with the heart still in her mouth and was trying to break out of the chains.
"Man, I'm so fucking screwed!" Amij said.
Amij looked at the heart in Minkah's mouth before he looked at the door from the distance.
He then concentrated on the heart, trying to pull it out of her mouth by using his power to levitate the heart out of Minkah's mouth.
It worked and the heart landed in Amij's hand before he began to fly out of there.
Minkah broke out of her chains and began chasing after Amij
"AH!" Amij yelled.
Minkah suddenly floated before she was slammed into a cell nearby.
Minkah got up and continued running after Amij.
Amij flew much faster before he managed to fly out of the tower and slammed the door shut.
The sound of Minkah hitting the door and collapsing on the ground was heard.
"...Phew." Amij said, wipping some sweat off his forehead.
He then turned to the heart that he was holding.
"...My hand is gonna smell like a dead guy for a month." Amij cringed before he flew out of there.
Milana was still in Kehn's bedroom, looking around for any strands of her hair.
She eventually spotted a hairbrush on the table and picked it up.
It was filled with her hair strands.
Milana pulled Kehn's hair strands out of the brush.
"Objective complete." Milana smiled.
The sounds of footsteps were heard and Milana's eyes widened before she jumped through the window.
Kehn walked out, now wearing a bathrobe and looked confused when she saw that her window was open.
She closed the window and sat back at the table before pulling out...photos of some of the male Omnis.
Kehn looked at the photos, putting her hands on her face, sighing, she looked like she was daydreaming.
Milana was now outside her house, looking at the hair strands before running off.
Back in Kaam's palace.
Kaam was still getting massaged while her red dress which appeared to be floating was going towards the exit.
Kaam noticed this and looked confused before whipping her eyes, thinking she was hallucinating.
"...Guard, am I seeing things...or is my dress literally floating?" Kaam asked.
"...Your dress is floating, your highness." The bodyguard said, looking surprised.
"...Then shouldn't you, I don't know, stop it!?" Kaam asked.
The bodyguard nodded as he ran and blocked the entrance.
At the same time, Kimura's invisibility effect wear off and she was now visible, holding the dress.
"...Fuck." Kimura said.
"AH! A THIEF! GET HER!" Kaam yelled.
Kimura turned to the bodyguard and kicked him in jewels before running out of the throne room along with the dress.
"GUARDS! GUARDS! SEIZE HER!" Kaam yelled.
Kimura was running and was close to getting out of the palace till the two guards blocked the exit, not letting her through.
She looked into her jacket and pulled out two vials containing chemicals.
Kimura threw the chemicals and they hit the guards.
The guards began coughing uncontrollably and they passed out on the floor.
Kimura then ran out of the palace with the red dress.
Kaam looked infuriated.
"AH! IMBECILES!" Kaam yelled.
She then went upstairs to see if Kimura stole something.
Only to find that her entire room looked messy and all of her clothes were thrown on the floor.
Kaam's face was red, looking ready to explode as wrinkles appeared on her face.
And now back to Aeon and Natasha, who were currently waiting for the contestants to appear.
The first one to make it there was Iknaa, holding the headdress.
"It appears I arrived here just in time." Iknaa said.
"Indeed you did. You are the first one to make it here. You won the challenge and you are safe." Aeon said.
Iknaa smiled in response.
Sothot appeared, holding his item.
"Sothot, you are safe aswell." Aeon said.
"Ah, good. That means I din't almost die in that gassy dome for nothing then." Sothot said.
Next to arrive were Sigmund, Aika, Naan, Cirak and Lionel.
Aeon looked at their items before looking at them.
"...Alright, you 5 are safe aswell." Aeon said.
"Yes!" Naan cheered.
Lionel sighed in relief.
Sigmund din't look surprised or show any reaction at all. Like he knew he was gonna win this.
Next was Ceygas, followed up by Amij and Milana.
"H-hey guys, I got the item that I almost died for. Did I win?" Amij asked.
"You and Milana were the 9th and 10th to arrive here so yes, you're safe. The only ones left are Gafust and Kimura." Aeon said.
"Well, looks like one of them is going home then." Ceygas said.
The next one to arrive was Gafust...who was holding the pieces of the head monkey statue and covered in some gross stuff.
"...So, does this still count as a victory?" Gafust asked.
Aeon looked at the pieces and frowned.
"...It's not intact." Aeon said.
Kimura arrived there aswell eventually, holding the dress.
She was trying to get some breath before she looked around and that everyone was here.
"...Fuck, I'm last!? Does this mean I lost!?" Kimura asked.
"...Not exactly. One of them brought an item that's shattered into pieces." Aeon said.
"It wasn't my fault! Some stupid giant snake appeared out of nowhere, ate the damn thing and I blew it up. Found the pieces in it's remains." Gafust said.
"...Gross." Naan said.
"...What giant snake?" Iknaa asked.
"A giant green snake with red patterns on it that can breathe fire. If I din't kill it, it would of ate me alive!" Gafust said.
Iknaa's eyes widened upon hearing that.
"...No..no, no, no." Iknaa said, before running off.
"...What's with her?" Lionel asked.
"...Maybe she forgot something?" Milana guessed.
A few seconds pass and Iknaa came back...looking very pissed off before grabbing Gafust by his shirt.
"...What...did you do?" Iknaa asked.
"Um, I killed a giant ass snake that tried to eat me!" Gafust said.
"THAT SNAKE THAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT WAS MY PET! IT'S NOT IN MY HOUSE! AND YOU BLEW IT UP!?" Iknaa asked.
"Woah, woah, woah, you keep giant snakes in your house as pets?" Gafust asked.
"It was a normal snake, you moron!...You...One of you must of went in my house and turned Apep into a monster and got this idiot to kill him! Which one of you went there!?" Iknaa asked.
"I din't go into your house. I was busy letting insects go into my ears to get this damn beetle!" Lionel said.
"...The only one here capable of turning your snake into what Gafust said...is basically Sigmund. He must of been there." Ceygas said.
Iknaa turned to Sigmund, glaring at him.
"...So you did it." Iknaa said.
"...Technically, I was in your house since I got the note to retrieve the beads from your house. I got the beads and went out of the house. I did not touch your pet." Sigmund said.
"THEN WHO DID!?" Iknaa asked.
"Well, the only one else who could achieve such feat could only be my companion from Universe 1, Kimura. She is the Omnipotent of Chemicals after all." Sigmund said.
"Hey, hey, don't put the blame card on me, asshole!" Kimura said.
"Did you do it?" Iknaa asked.
"No, of course not, I was busy getting this stupid dress from that princess wannabe, I could care less about your damn snake! Why would I even do that?" Kimura said.
"I can only think of one motive: perhaps some uncalled payback for what happened to your mother." Iknaa said.
"Take those words before I put them back in your mouth for you. And second, you should be the angry with the guy who literally blew your snake, not me!" Kimura said.
"THAT SNAKE ALMOST ATE ME YOU IDIOT! WHAT PART DO YOU NOT-" Gafust yelled.
"ENOUGH! ENOUGH!" Aeon yelled.
Everyone turned to Aeon.
"This argument is going nowhere with blaming each other. Wether the giant snake was the doing of one of you, it doesn't matter, cause Gafust is the only one who brought a broken item and therefore, he is the first one to be eliminated out of the competition." Aeon said.
"...Are you fucking kidding me!? That's bullshit!" Gafust yelled.
Iknaa was still glaring at Gafust.
Gafust glared back and sighed.
"Fine. I'm going." Gafust said, pushing Cirak and Lionel out of the way.
"...Well, this just escalated quickly." Aika said.
"Indeed." Milana said.
Iknaa simply looked at the ground, looking sad.
Naan simply looked at everyone, looking a bit scared by the tension that was going on.
In the ship, Gafust had his stuff packed and was in front of a portal that would take him back to Universe 2.
"So, any last words?" Aeon asked.
"Yeah...whoever sabotaged me...eat shit." Gafust said, before he walked into the portal and it closed.
"...Famous last words." Sothot said.
"...So, are we done for today?" Aika asked.
"Yes. All of you are free to go back to your rooms or participate for dinner. If any of you need any help with anything, meet me in my office." Aeon said.
Aeon and Natasha walked out of the area.
The Omnipotents just looked each other before they walked off.
The Omnipotents(except Sigmund and Kimura) were now in the ship's restaurant eating dinner
Iknaa was being consoled by Aika and Milana while Ceygas and Naan were sitting alone at their tables. Ceygas mostly cause she wanted to keep herself out of the drama while Naan wanted to keep herself out of everything.
"...I had Apep since I was 5. My father gave it to me as a birthday present." Iknaa frowned.
"Well, I'm sure...Apep...would you want to continue living life and be happy....I think." Aika said.
"Snakes may be poisonous and bloodthirsty...but in my world, they are known to be the most loyal to their friends. Apep is dead but he will live forever in your memories." Milana said.
"...It's nice of you to say that....but if I catch the one who did this...they'll pay." Iknaa said.
Amij was looking at the girls as he was sitting at the table with Sothot, Cirak and Lionel.
"Well, that was quite an intense situation back at the end of the challenge. Iknaa and Gafust were ready to face each other." Amij said while eating his food.
"Don't talk with your mouth full boy, it's impolite." Cirak said.
Lionel wasn't eating his food, just staring at it.
"...Do you guys think that Gafust really was sabotaged? If so, by who?" Lionel asked.
"Who else but either one of those two from Universe 1 obviously." Sothot said.
"Yeah, I think so too...those two are the most...scarier ones out of all of us." Lionel said.
"I doubt they'll get that far. Those two are guaranteed to lose and I'll make sure that they will fall." Cirak said.
"I guess." Amij shrugged before he looked at the girls.
"...So...do you guys like any of the girls?" Amij asked.
"No." Cirak said.
"I was with a woman...but that was a long time ago and I decided that Love...is sort of pointless in the long run." Sothot said.
"...Iknaa is nice...I guess." Lionel shrugged.
"Hm...Well, Ceygas kinda looks a bit hot." Amij said.
"...Save your thoughts for yourself, please." Sothot said.
In Aeon's office.
"...Well...I did not expect Gafust to be eliminated so early." Natasha said.
"With him out of the way, now all competitors will have an equal chance of winning this thing." Aeon said.
"I guess so...do you think what happened was a sabotage? I doubt Iknaa's snake grew large on it's own." Natasha said.
"Possibly. But even if a sabotage happened, they still had their items intact so I couldn't just eliminate him or her by following my personal feelings." Aeon said.
"Yeah...I want to talk to you about something." Natasha said.
"Yes?" Aeon asked.
"...When I was visiting Sigmund....I felt...something familiar...and frightening." Natasha said
"What is it?" Aeon asked, looking concerned.
"...I don't know...it's like someone we met...a long time ago." Natasha said.
In the Hotel.
Kimura was in her room, pacing around...and there were holes in her wall. It appears she took out her anger on the wall.
"...They blame for whatever the fuck happened with the Egyptian's snake. They immediately made me the culprit. These guys are idiots. It's obvious who the culprit here is and yet I'm treated as the fucking criminal!" Kimura said.
Kimura then sat on her bed, sighing before she looked at a picture of herself, Jasmine and Jasmine's parents.
"...Jasmine is really the only person I can trust now in this damn world...everyone else...they can fuck off after today." Kimura said.
In another room.
Sigmund was looking out the window, at his own reflection.
"...Hm, the plan worked as well as I expected." Sigmund said, adjusting his glasses.
Sigmund turned around.
"...Gafust was the most strongest Omnipotent alive, his chances of making it to the finals were high...now with him out of the way, things should be easier from now on." Sigmund said.
Meanwhile, back in Universe 1.
Dyrre was currently in his house, playing a video game on a console.
There was a knock on the door.
Dyrre paused the game and opened the door.
The mailman was there.
"Are you Mr...Eyrr Schmidt?" The mailman asked.
"It's Dyrre." Dyrre said.
"Yes, whatever. This is from your employer, Mr.Clair." The mailman said, giving Dyrre the staff with the skull on top of it and a note attached to it before the mailman walked out of there.
Dyrre looked at the note.
'This thing is useless. Put it back to whatever planet or dimension you picked it off from.'-Sigmund Clair
"...Are you shitting me?" Dyrre asked, looking irritated.
It cuts to Universe 0.
Dyrre was now in the City of Balance, standing in front of a building made out of metal, holding the staff.
"...Stupid bony staff. Thanks to you, I won't get shit!" Dyrre said.
Dyrre slammed the staff against the metal wall, the skull shattered and Dyrre was knocked on the ground.
A red flame flew out of the skull the moment it shattered and was floating in front of Dyrre.
"...W-What?" Dyrre asked, looking a bit confused and also scared.
The flame started to take the shape of a person or being.
The flame vanished and there was now a person standing in front of Dyrre.
It looked like a demon with grey skin, pointy ears with two orb sized earrings attached to them, red hair split in three hair horns, on the left, middle and right, resembling devil horns, wearing a hellish-red overcoat, with dark blue pants, blue boots, a belt with the letter 'X' in front and his eyes were closed.
Dyrre simply looked at the demon in front of him, looking scared now.
The demon opened his red eyes and lets out a long yawn before stretching his limbs, the sound of bones cracking was heard.
"...Aaaah, it feels like I've slept for a millennium." The demon said.
"...Millennium...What the hell are you?.." Dyrre asked.
The demon turned to the Omnipotent of Sleep, taking a good look at him, raising his eyebrows when he noticed the lack of eyebrows and his clawed hands.
"...You...you don't look like an average human. Are you the one who woke me up from my slumber?" The demon asked.
"...I...guess so?...Who are you?" Dyrre asked.
"My name is Xuko, from the Ganymede clan. Now that I asked your question, you better answer mine." Xuko said.
"...I'm...Dyrre...the Omnipotent of Sleep." Dyrre said.
"...Omnipotent of...Sleep?" Xuko asked, looking confused.
"Yeah, duh." Dyrre said.
Xuko grabbed Dyrre by his shirt.
"Are you playing games with me, mortal?" Xuko asked.
"N-No, I'm not, I really am the Omnipotent of Sleep! Just find me some prick and I'll put him to sleep quickly...or maybe I could help put you back to sleep?" Dyrre guessed.
Xuko dropped Dyrre on the ground and began thinking.
"...What happened...last time I remember...I was fighting those two Omnipotent women who were trying to spread the crests into other worlds...they summoned their Susanoo's and...vanquished me. I had to split my own essence in half in order to survive...but it appears I fell asleep for quite a long time. If this whelp is a Omnipotent of one of the elements...then their plan worked." Xuko said.
He turned to Dyrre.
"You. Are the Omnipotents known as Ceres and Pax alive?" Xuko asked.
"...You mean those two hot chicks from 0 who died like many years ago? Nope, they're dead. If they weren't, I wouldn't have this awesome power, now would I?" Dyrre asked, smiling.
Xuko looked at the place he was in.
"...One of the Omnipotent cities still exists after all this time...I'm surprised...so, if it's here...then...Orpheus is gone too...I can't sense his presence anywhere...finally...I'm free!" Xuko grinned.
"Cool. Well, I can see you have a new life so I'll just go back home and-" Dyrre said, as he began to walk away.
Xuko grabbed Dyrre by his shoulder and turned him around.
"...Sorry...but I'm afraid you'll become a new edition to my collection, my dear friend." Xuko smiled.
"...C-Collection? What collection?" Dyrre asked, his eyes widening.
Xuko aimed his hand at Dyrre, he appeared to be charging up a fire ball.
"H-Hey, stop, we can make a deal!" Dyrre said.
"I do not negotiate with vermin such as yourself." Xuko said.
"AH, AAAAAAAAAAAAH!" Dyrre screamed in fear.
And...nothing happened.
"...Huh?" Xuko asked, looking at his hand.
"...Um...what?" Dyrre asked.
Xuko clicked his fingers and nothing happened.
"...Are you gonna kill me or what?" Dyrre asked.
"...My magic...it isn't working...of course, I remember, all the essence that I captured were released when I 'died'! I'm powerless now!" Xuko said.
"Ha, so you can't kill me after all, huh, bitch?" Dyrre grinned.
Xuko turned to Dyrre and grabbed him by his neck, roaring at his face.
He dropped Dyrre who was now white as a sheet of paper.
"You may live, for now. Now get out of my presence!" Xuko said.
"Y-yeah, sure!" Dyrre said, before he got up and ran out of there, the sound of him screaming for his mom was heard.
Xuko puts his hand on his chin.
"...So...if I really am in the future...and that imbecile has one of Ceres's elements...then...the elements must of spread into 144 individuals...thus creating 144 Omnipotents...but some of them might of died while I was still sleeping...hehehehehe...ah, yes...I can easily add some new souls to my empty collection...144 souls of the most powerful people who existed!" Xuko yelled.
Xuko then began laughing out loud at the sky.
"Yes! YES! With Orpheus gone, there's nothing holding me back now! Starting from today, I'll plunder heaven blind, steals all the dead Omnipotents, take the souls from mankind and conquer all the odds! I'll become the most powerful being in existence! I will rule the demon realm and all these little pitiful worlds with their barbaric humans with the power of an army of Omnipotents! And I'll show the world that today and forever, the name to remember is Xuko!" Xuko laughed.
Xuko stopped laughing and looked at the ground.
"...But I'll need to make a quick trip back home and perhaps find a list of the Omnipotents who are alive and dead from the archives...and find someone who could help me get the souls of the dead much easier." Xuko smiled.
Xuko was engulfed by flames and when they vanished, so did he.

CHAPTER 2 THE ELEVENTH HOUR
In stage 3, with the contestants.
The Omnipotent ladies, those being Ceygas, Aika, Iknaa, Milana and Naan were sitting at a table near the hotel, having a good ole chat.
Cirak was sitting on a bench, writing in his personal journal while Lionel and Sothot were discussing something in the background.
"Dear Journal, I managed to win the first challenge and remained in the game. The first to be eliminated was Gafust from Universe 2. With him eliminated, I won't have to worry about facing off against him in the next challenges to come. If I to describe the rest of my opponents, these would be my thoughts:
Sothot: I consider this guy to be as much of a threat like Gafust, since he is the master of Reality itself. Has an obsession with poetry, fairy tales and all that bullshit, and I doubt it's coincidence that he looks so much like that tyrant piece of crap, Hastur. Every time he is brought, he changes the subject and leaves. What the hell are you hiding, buddy? Lionel: If you thought Sothot was bad, well here's Lionel. The only thing I can give him credit for is that he did not fall for his friend's bullshit about casting away emotions for the sake of a fucked up emotionless Utopia. But what I won't give him credit for is his lack of courage. He can barely hold a sword without shaking like a wet leaf. I doubt he is gonna last for much longer if he doesn't grow a backbone anytime soon. Ceygas:...A quiet lightning throwing Pikachu! Iknaa: Hikrat's personal assistant who has the power to take your breath just with a single glance. I do not buy her miss Goody Egyptian Two Shoes. She is trying to get sympathy from what happened in the previous challenge which will give her the chance of backstabbing the people she trusts to get further into the competition. I will keep a close eye on her myself. Aika: If I ever hear her calling someone 'sweetie' 'doll' 'cupcake' or whatever, I think I'm gonna throw myself off a building and welcome the sweet embrace of Death! She thinks of herself as some sort of a Superstar Goddess or some shit like that. The mere sight of her is enough to piss me off! Amij :A complete and total fuck up but unique in his own personal brand of failure. If it wasn't for his flight power and his superhero job in Universe 7, he'd be useless. As it stands, he's a hair above useless. At worst, he could of been just as useless as that shitty pile of existence known as Dyrre. Milana: A tactical fighter unlike any Omnipotents have ever seen. In all my years I have dreamt of fighting against a worthy opponent like her, someone who can lead, obey and destroy with unparalleled superiority. She is truly Universe 12's warrior, a savior even...but she is furry, bad form! Naan: she is the student of Dilon, one of the Omnipotents who I truly respect. But compared to her companion, Sanar, she lacks determination. Her chances of making it to the finals are slim I'm afraid. Like in wars, nice people do not make it that far. Kimura: A angry, mean, pissed off little Chihuahua. Watching her signature glare used on everyone in this competition is like watching a puppy barking at his own dog elders, thinking he is the shit. While I have sympathy for her because of what happened to her mother, I do not tolerate her taking out frustration on the wrong people. Someone needs to have a long talk with this lady. And now last, but not least, Sigmund: This 'guy' is the ultimate combination of human sin! He is the most terrifying creature I have ever met, seriously this guy is fucked! Something is horribly, horribly wrong with him. How someone could of loved something so twisted, so foul, so utterly fucked up beyond repair is beyond me. On the plus side, he is intelligent...but seriously, fuck this guy." Cirak wrote.
Suddenly, Sigmund, who was in front of him, snatched his journal and looked at what he wrote.
"...Well, you described everyone exactly as I thought of them. I'll give you a plus for that. But as for your biased opinion about me." Sigmund said.
Sigmund then ripped the page out of the journal, crumbled it and tossed it at Cirak, hitting his face before walking off.
"Hm. Douchebag." Cirak said, watching him leave.
It cuts to the Omnipotent ladies who were still chatting.
"So, Iknaa, feeling much better now?" Aika asked.
"I suppose so. Being sad forever will not bring back Apep so, all I can do is get my head back in the game and continue to win the challenges as best as I can." Iknaa said.
"That's a good way to think about it." Milana said.
Kimura walked out of the hotel. She looked at the girls and gave them the death stare before walking off.
"...And Kimura's signature glare strikes again." Iknaa said.
"Honestly, I do not get her deal." Milana said.
"Well, her mom who worked for F did blow herself up so...I imagine she is probably having a hard time right now and her being intimidating is just an act to get people off her back." Aika said.
"Makes sense...I guess." Ceygas shrugged.
"...She is still scary." Naan said.
"I'm sure she'll mellow out...eventually." Aika guessed.
Amij walked out of the hotel and stopped when he spotted the girls and smiled before he walked up to them.
"Good morning, ladies." Amij said.
"Morning." The ladies said, not really paying attention to Amij.
"...Hi." Naan said.
"Hi. So, if you girls encounter any difficulties in the next challenge or so, You can come to me for help and I'll be there to resolve any problems you have." Amij said while flexing.
"That's nice of you, honey, but I'm pretty sure we can take care of ourselves just fine." Aika smiled.
"Exactly." Milana said.
"...Okay, but." Amij said.
"Amij, we appreciate the effort, but it's not working. You may go now." Iknaa said.
"...Kay." Amij sighed, before walking off.
"...This child is troublesome." Iknaa said.
"Indeed." Milana said.
"I think he is just going through a phase or something...like most teenagers." Ceygas said.
"...I think he is cool." Naan said.
"...Isn't he from the same Universe that tried to screw over your's?" Ceygas asked.
"Well, it was only Kacaj who wanted to screw us over. I heard he disliked Kacaj too and wants to help people. Plus, Lujien was in the last tournament with Ponek and she was nice." Naan said.
"Acynna was in the tournament and she is one of my buddies from the Omnipotent Tavern. Not everyone in 7 are douches." Aika said.
"I guess." Ceygas shrugged.
"Well, breakfast should be starting. We should be going now, yes?" Iknaa said, getting up and walking into the restaurant.
The other 4 got up and went into the restaurant along with everyone else.
Inside, most of them were putting food on their plates and sat at the table.
Sigmund was sitting at a single table without any food and no one sat next to him.
Kimura was sitting at her own table aswell, far away from everyone else.
The rest of the guys and girls sat next to each other at their own tables.
"...So, did anyone see Aeon and Natasha?" Lionel asked.
"No. I'm guessing they are preparing the next event." Sothot said.
"...Guys, is it just me or do these eggs taste a bit...weird?" Amij asked.
"Now that you mention it...they have a...odd smell." Milana said, sniffing the food.
"Maybe these are eggs cooked from a another dimension and have a different taste?" Aika guessed.
"I suppose so...but still." Lionel said.
Naan yawned for some reason.
"...Did you get any sleep last night?" Iknaa asked.
"...I had trouble but after 13 minutes, I fell asleep...but...I...I think I'm gonna take a small nap before the challenge starts...nighty night." Naan said.
Naan then fell asleep on the table and began snoring.
"...That was...weird..." Ceygas said.
"...Now that I think about it...I feel pretty...tired myself..." Milana said.
Milana fell asleep.
Suddenly, each and every one of the Omnipotents fell asleep on the table.
"...What...the...hell did we just eat?" Kimura asked, before passing out aswell.
Sigmund simply walked to the unsconcious Omnipotents, picked up a fork with a piece of a egg on it and sniffed it.
"...They put sleeping pills in the food. Interesting turn of events." Sigmund said.
Then he fell unconscious aswell, his face landing in the food.
Aeon and Natasha walked into the restaurant and saw the unsconcious Omnis.
"...Well, the pills worked. Let's put them in the ship from Universe 11 and start the challenge." Aeon said.
"Right...I'm not sure if everyone will be happy with us for this by the end of the challenge." Natasha said.
"Once they find out their lives weren't really at risk, they won't hold a grudge. Well, let's get going." Aeon said.
Meanwhile, in somewhere.
Kimura slowly opened her eyes, finding herself and the rest of the Omnipotents laying on the floor in a small metallic room with a single door and a monitor above them.
She immediately got up, looking around.
"What the fuck!?" Kimura asked.
Kimura went to the door and smacked it with her fist.
"Hey, open the fucking door!" Kimura yelled.
Eventually, the other Omnipotents woke up aswell.
"What the hell?" Ceygas asked.
"Where are we?" Iknaa asked.
"...In a room...I guess." Lionel said, looking around.
Sigmund pulled out a handkerchief, wipping the food off his face.
Kimura kicked the door and it din't open.
"Fuck, it's not opening." Kimura said.
"...Did you try opening it, atleast?" Milana asked.
Kimura did that...and it din't work.
"Nope. Doesn't work." Kimura said.
"...Guys, this is obviously Aeon and Natasha's doing. They wouldn't let something like this happen to us unless it was planned, like a part of the challenge or something." Ceygas said.
"I hope you're right." Naan frowned.
"...So, how do we get out of here?" Amij asked.
The monitor started up, it was nothing but static till it showed the footage of a...person it seemed, who's face was hidden by a space helmet and was wearing space clothes.
"Good morning, Omnipotents." The masked space individual said, who's voice was synthesized.
"Hi Aeon or Natasha. Nice Halloween suit." Aika smiled.
"I'm not Aeon or Natasha. I'm the one who brought you all in here, into this ship, in Universe 11." The person said.
"...We are in a ship?" Naan asked.
"And in a different Universe." Sothot said.
"Which is my Universe, by the way." Cirak said.
"Kay not Aeon or not Natasha, why did you bring us here?" Aika asked.
"Simple. I want to play a game. A game of life and death. I watched each and every one of you Omnipotents in action. Each of you are strong...but what I wonder...is if your minds are just as strong as your bodies." The masked person said.
"What game?" Iknaa asked.
"A game in which in order to win, you have to survive. If you lose, you will be terminated out of the competition for good." Masked person said.
"T-Terminated?" Naan asked.
"I'm sure it's a synonym for eliminated. Don't worry." Amij said.
"So, what do we have to do in this game to 'survive', you masked weirdo?" Cirak asked.
"That's simple, general. We are in Universe 11 and there are 11 of you. Each of you will have to solve some challenges that involves the knowledge that you have about the Omnipotents of Universe 11. The challenges takes place in a room, If you are smart enough to solve those challenges, you will be given a key that will save you from impending doom." The masked person said.
"Impending doom?" Kimura asked.
"Yes. Each room has a bomb and it has 30 minutes till it blows up along with the room. If you don't solve the challenges within 30 minutes, the bomb will explode and you will be terminated out of the Tournament." The masked person said.
"W-We're gonna die!?" Naan asked.
"Eh. It was nice knowing one of you." Sigmund said, not really scared.
"...Not helping." Lionel told Sigmund.
"...Sounds like the F puzzles...except each room has a bomb, not just One." Aika said.
"...Was that supposed to be a pun?" Kimura asked, glaring at Aika.
"...No, why would I joke about...ooooooh." Aika said, realizing what she said about the 'One' word.
"Yeah. Now kindly shut up about the subject." Kimura said.
"Where are the rooms?" Sothot asked.
The room's door opened.
"They're in there. Each room has a number. The number aren't the same as the order of the Omnipotents, they are random. Choose your room very quickly. Let the game begin: life or death, you choose." The masked person said, before the screen shuts off.
"...Well, you heard Jigsaw who is totally not Aeon or Natasha, let's go." Ceygas said, as she walked out of the room.
"...Who made her the leader?" Kimura asked, before she walked out aswell.
The rest followed and they were in a hallway and there were 11 doors on each side.
"....I guess I'm gonna choose...Room 6." Lionel said, going through that door.
Sigmund went into Door 1.
The rest of the Omnipotents just went into each room and closed the doors behind them.
Lionel found himself in a Tower room that looked exactly like the room where the group the Society of Goodness hangs out at.
Above Lionel was a monitor showing the bomb and the minutes it has till it blows up and a symbol of 'Steel' on the wall.
There was also a window and outside, the entire place appeared to be floating above the clouds.
"...Guess this must be Mibyll's area...and since we're in a ship, we are flying above the Earth." Lionel said, looking outside.
Lionel then spotted 8 tables, each with a image of the member of the Society of Goodness: Nexus, Gustavo, June, Cerci, Minerva, Vadon, Mibyll and Kelou. Each table had a puzzle that needed to be resolved it seemed.
Lionel walked up to Mibyll's table and there was a journal with a file.
There was also something written on the table, a pencil with a eraser, the words saying:
'On which date did Mibyll join the military? Write the right date, erase it if's wrong and try again'
He opened the file, it was about Mibyll, showing a picture of a younger Mibyll wearing military clothes. It also mentioned that Mibyll got his element through accident. A pile of steel was supposed to be brought into the building and it was accidently dropped on him, thus making him into an Omnipotent.
"...That must of been painful." Lionel said.
Lionel then opened the journal, trying to find the date of when Mibyll joined the military, checking through every page.
Eventually, he found the date '5th February, 2003'
Lionel grabbed the pen and wrote on the table the date.
The table then opened, revealing an action figure of Mibyll.
"...An action figure. But no key." Lionel said, grabbing it.
He looked at the other tables with the other members of the Society. It appears he had to solve their puzzles aswell in order to progress.
Cirak was in a garage it seemed.
There was a truck in the middle of the garage, oil spilled on the floor, a toolbox, a monitor showing the bomb and a picture of a rather chubby guy, wearing a white buttoned up shirt with suspenders, a trucker hat, black hair, eyes and beard, drinking at a tavern. Another picture next to it featured a machine exploding and the man being near the explosion.
"...Huh, Emoj's area. Go figure." Cirak said, folding his arms.
Cirak then noticed that there words that could be seen through the first picture.
He removed the picture and saw words written on the wall.
'Emoj's truck isn't currently working. It needs the right gears in order to work. Remove the unnecessary gears by opening the truck's hood and replace the gears with the right ones from the toolbox and you will receive the key to freedom.'
"Just replace the gears? Seems simple enough." Cirak smiled.
Cirak went to the truck and opened the hood. It was filled with gears, some of them weren't fitting there at all.
He then walked to the toolbox and opened it...the box was filled with many, many gears.
"...Shoot me." Cirak frowned.
With Naan.
She appeared to be in a living room of a house, filled with electronic equipment, such as a TV, refrigerator, a toaster, an iPhone and etc. Aswell as the monitor showing her the bomb and the timer counting down
Naan gulped a bit and looked around to find the puzzle.
The TV showed a man who was currently promoting some electronics.
She spotted a photo of the Omnipotent of Electronics, Reven, who was standing next to the man from the TV. Judging by how old he was, he was probably her father.
"...The guy must be her dad, I guess. Or older brother." Naan said.
Naan then looked at the IPhone and picked it up.
It appeared she needed to insert Reven's Pin Code in order to unlock it.
"...Pin?" Naan asked, as she never saw or touched a phone before.
Naan puts the phone in her pocket and started looking for clues that will give her an idea about the code.
With Ceygas
She appeared to be in a small ISP office.
There were pictures on the walls, featuring Yarim. One picture featured her and her family, one of her graduating a college, one featuring her, Jaden and the rest of the ISP and etc.
There was a computer on the desk, featuring a Trivia game.
Ceygas sat at the table and clicked start.
It showed her a question out of 10 questions and three stars below the screen with some instructions. The stars represented how many tries Ceygas has. If she fails one question, she will have to repeat the game and if she fails two more times, the bomb will go off.
Ceygas looked at the question and the options below it.
1.What is the Yarim's real name? A.Mira Forrester B.Irma Cloud C.Army Kingston D.Ramy Betsy
Ceygas remembered her name being 'Irma' so she chose Option B.
It worked and now next question.
2.What was the name of the College that she graduated at? A.Summers College B.Pacific Grove C.Deer Valley D.Garden Grove
Ceygas looked at the picture with her graduation day, seeing the name on the building and chose Option D.
That was the correct answer.
"...Lucky her." Ceygas frowned.
Next with Sigmund.
He appeared to be in a high school class room.
There was a pile of books at the corner of the room, all about dimensional travelling, a broken interdimensional gateway and a chalkboard with 30 questions written in chalk. There was space between each question, where the answers should be written on.
Sigmund picked up some chalk and looked at the first question
1.How did Mekat receive her element?
Sigmund looked at the gateway and wrote.
'Portal maulfunction'
He then looked at the next question.
2.What was Mekat's real name?
'Kate Watson'
When he looked at the next question, he walked to the book pile and picked one of the books, trying to find the answer.
With Kimura
She found herself in a replica of a gun store, with a metal door on the right, with a note saying 'chose the best weapon that Melnnos used to annihilate the ones he had to assassinate and eliminate his targets again.'
Kimura saw a bunch of weapons laying on the table, not knowing what to choose before she spotted a black book on the counter and picked it up
It showed the names of Melnnos's clients, targets aswell as the weapons that he used to kill his targets.
He appears that he used different weapons to kill his targets but the one he used the most was a large laser gun.
Kimura walked to the table and picked up the laser gun. A bit heavy but she was able to carry it.
She walked to the door and opened it.
The room was a large metallic area and there were robot versions of the people Melnnos assassinated standing at the end of the room. There was even a robot Neptune. The robots looked at Kimura and their eyes flashed red.
"...This is gonna be fun." Kimura said.
She opened her jacket and pulled out a vial with the label 'Speed'.
After she drank it, she brought out her phone and started playing a hardcore Rock music before aiming the weapon at the robots.
"...Come get some." Kimura said, before she started shooting.
With Milana
She was in a movie set, scripts laying on the floor and a Oscar placed on a table and a closed door at the end of the room.
A picture of Emylln was placed on the wall, giving thumbs up, aswell as a question on the picture: 'What was the movie that made Emylln famous and helped him win an Oscar? Place the script of the movie in front of the Oscar in order to advance to the next stage.'
Milana raised an eyebrow.
"...How am I supposed to figure this out?" Milana asked.
Milana looked around for clues and spotted a computer with an open internet page, showing the reviews of the Movies Emylln participated in.
She walked to the computer and began checking the reviews, to see which one was the most popular.
It appeared the movie called 'Dead Guys Walking' was the most famous one yet.
Milana then looked at the scripts, trying to find the one of the movie.
She eventually found it and placed it in front of the Oscar.
The door opened, showing a graveyard.
"...Well...that's foreboding." Milana said, putting her hands on her hips before she marched into the next area.
She found herself surrounded by graves and there was another locked door at the end of the room.
"...What am I supposed to-"
And zombies started rising from their graves, each and every one of them went towards Milana, intending to eat her brains out. Two of the zombies happened to look like Kacaj and Tyrned for some reason.
"...Hmph...I never fought against dead people before...this should be interesting." Milana said.
Milana jumped and kicked a zombie's head, sending it flying. Oil spilled out of it's neck. It was a robot.
Milana avoided being grabbed by a zombie before grabbing it's neck and twisting it. She kicked the zombie into another one.
She grabbed two zombie heads and bashed their heads together.
With Aika
She found herself in a disco room, complete with a DJ booth and some music records laying on the table.
There was a picture on the wall of the Omnipotent of Lasers, Tembh who was hugging a guy who looked famous.
"...Hm, cool place." Aika said, before she spotted a poster on the wall.
'Insert Tembh's song of her favorite musician onto the DJ booth'
"...Her favorite musician?" Aika asked.
Aika looked at the records, trying to see which one could be her favorite.
One of the record's covers featured the guy from the photo with Tembh.
"...I'm guessing it's this guy." Aika said.
Aika grabbed the record and inserted it on the DJ booth.
The song started playing and a part of the wall opened up, revealing a dance arcade machine, complete with a dance floor with 4 arrows on it. There was a note on the machine 'Beat Tembh Tembh Revolution in order to earn your freedom'
Aika pulled the note and smiled.
"...Alright, let's do this." Aika said.
She pressed the button and got on the dance floor.
The screen showed Tembh who started dancing and the arrows began flying up in the screen.
Aika quickly immediately stepped on the arrows on the dance floor and began dancing.
With Amij
He found himself in a lab, with a lot of machine pieces laying on the ground.
There was a logo above a closed door 'Void Technologies' with the name of the room 'Testing Bureau of Enhanced Electrology'
"...Am I in the lab of a mad scientist or something?" Amij asked.
Amij spotted a note on a table and a sheet of paper, featuring the pieces and where they are supposed to be put at.
'Put the pieces of the LG3000 machine back in order and start it. If it works, you will survive.'
"...So, that's what I'm supposed to do? Lame." Amij frowned.
Amij just raised his hand and all the pieces flew from the ground.
With Sothot
He was inside of a airforce base, surrounded by planes.
There was a picture of Myllil, the Omnipotent of Acid, right next to a younger Cirak and Mibyll on the wall, above a pile of barrels containing acid.
Sothot wasn't sure what to do here before he found a note on a plane saying 'melt all the useless planes with the acid barrels and leave the good ones around. Accidently melt a good one and you won't be free.'
"...I see." Sothot said.
Sothot saw a plane that look kinda crapped and warped one barrel in his hands.
He warped himself above the plane, floating in midair and spilled the acid on the plane, melting it.
With Iknaa.
She was on a racing track and on the left were 10 cars.
A note on the wall said.
'Pick the right car that Tetyba upgraded to avoid the obstacles and win the race.'
"...Cars...I suppose the cars are the other Universes's of chariots and horses...so, I have to choose one." Iknaa said.
Iknaa opened one car and entered inside.
There was a key inside the car and tries to start it.
...The car did not start at all.
Iknaa got out of the car and slammed the door.
"Wonderful." Iknaa frowned.
Back to Ceygas.
Ceygas was at the tenth question.
'What is Yarim's first person shooter?'
Ceygas looked at the copy of the game and typed.
'War of the Gears'
A 'Congratulations!' screen appeared.
A key dropped in front of Ceygas and the monitor showing the bomb shut off.
Ceygas blinked before she picked up the key and went to the locked door to use it.
The door was unlocked and she entered....in another metallic room with 10 other doors and a monitor.
"...So, did I win?" Ceygas asked.
The screen turned on, showing the masked individual.
"Yes, you won. Congratulations, you get to live another day. Now, let's see if the others are lucky aswell." The person said.
"Sure..." Ceygas said, folding her arms
With Lionel
He puts the crest of Heart into a crest sized hole and it opened, revealing a action figure of Nexus.
Lionel added into his now collection of Society of Goodness action figures in his pocket.
"...Okay, I solved most of the puzzles...now what am I supposed to do with these?" Lionel asked.
The floor opened and a new table popped up, with 8 holes in it and another note.
'Put the action figures in the order of each member of the Society that joined the group'
"...Hm..." Lionel said.
He pulled out the toys and puts them in their holes, going with the order that he thinks it could be right after checking out the rest's documents:
Gustavo, Cerci, Kelou, June, Mibyll, Vadon, Minerva and Nexus.
The table opened, revealing the key and the bomb monitor shut off.
Lionel sighed in relief as he grabbed the key and unlocked the door.
He arrived in the same area that Ceygas was in.
"Oh, I guess you solved your puzzles too." Lionel said
"Yup. Since you're here, this means you won." Ceygas said.
"Oh, Good...good." Lionel said.
With Sigmund.
He was at the last question.
'What is the name of the deadly illness that contaminated Mekat?'
He wrote
'Ventroposy'
A key landed in front of Sigmund and the bomb monitor shut off.
"Hmph. Easy." Sigmund said, as he grabbed the key and unlocked the door, walking out.
He walked up to Ceygas and Lionel
"I take it you two won." Sigmund said.
"You don't sound that excited to see us." Ceygas said.
"You're right. I'm not." Sigmund said.
Next was Aika
She was currently dancing very fast, not missing any arrows on the screen, now they were moving very rapidly
Eventually, the arrows stopped.
"Nice job!" Game version of Tembh said, raising her hand, doing the peace sign
'You Won'
"YES!" Aika cheered.
The machine opened, revealing a key.
Aika grabbed the key and ran the fuck out of there.
"Oh, hi darlings." Aika said to the three.
Sigmund sighed.
"God doesn't exist if you're still alive." Sigmund said.
"And fuck you too." Aika said.
With Kimura.
She was the having the blast of a lifetime, as she was shooting robots with incredible speed thanks to the chemical she drank, avoiding every shot.
She was currently imagining some of the robots being some Council members, her dad and Sigmund.
Kimura shot holes in almost all the robots and the last one was the Neptune robot.
Kimura shot it's limbs off before it could attack till there was nothing more but her upper torso.
The Neptune robot exploded and it's head landed on top of a large pile of destroyed robots.
Kimura, now covered in oil, jumped on the pile while holding the blaster and her hand on her hip.
"...Groovy."
A few seconds later, Kimura walked out of the room, still covered in oil.
"...What the fudge happened in there?" Aika asked.
"Robots." Kimura said.
"BY THE SUN OF RA, I SAW SLUGS MOVING MORE FASTER THAN THIS JUNKHEAP!" Iknaa's angry voice was heard outside her room.
"THIS FUCKING GEAR DOESN'T FIT IN THERE ASWELL!? GODDAMN IT ALL TO HELL!" Cirak yelled.
"...I'm guessing they're not doing okay with their challenges." Lionel said.
With Sothot
A lot of planes that weren't useful anymore had been melted and 7 of them were the good ones.
Sothot had only one barrel left as he poured it onto the last useless plane.
One of the plane's windows opened, revealing a key.
The key instantly appeared in Sothot's hand as he used it unlock the door and joined the others.
"Hello. I see some of you are alive. That's good." Sothot said.
"Well...thanks." Ceygas shrugged.
Milana came in next, out of breath...and one of her tails were cut off, blood leaking out.
"Holy shit, your tail!" Aika said.
"I know, I know! After fighting some robot things, I ended up in a area full of magnets and many metallic objects were flying right towards. One of the sharper ones cut off my tail." Milana said.
"Yikes!...Do you need a doctor?" Lionel asked.
"No, no, I have this." Milana said.
Milana closed her eyes and concentrated.
A new tail popped out of the one that was cut off.
"Ah, much better." Milana sighed.
"Oh, right, you have Regeneration as your power. You can replace any limbs or energy that you lose." Aika said.
"Regeneration would be pretty useful to people who lose their limbs in car accidents or during wars." Sigmund said.
"Well, tough luck for them I say. So, how many of us are left?" Milana asked, folding her arms.
The monitor showed the masked space man again.
"4 left: Cirak, Amij, Iknaa and Naan. Which one of them will be terminated now with 10 minutes left I wonder. Let's find out." The masked guy said.
It cuts to Iknaa, who's car that was moving as slow as a turtle got blasted into pieces by a laser and was launched on the floor.
Iknaa got up, looking pissed.
"...The cars that I chose proven to be quite useless. How am I supposed to win this if these cars are..." Iknaa stopped when she noticed a poster.
It showed Tetyba with a car behind her. It looked like one of the cars that were left.
"...Of course." Iknaa facepalmed.
Iknaa got into the car, puts in the key...and it immediately drove off with amazing speed, getting right on the track.
Iknaa this time avoided most of the obstacles thanks to her car, aswell as the lasers.
"...Sweet Cleopatra, this thing is amazing!" Iknaa said as she was driving.
Eventually, she reached the finish line and immediately stopped the car before it could hit the wall.
The airbag popped up as a result along with a key, hitting Iknaa's face.
"...Well then..." Iknaa said.
She pushed the airbag aside and spotted the key on the ground.
Iknaa picked it up and used it to unlock the door.
She joined the others in the area.
"Well, that was fun I admit." Iknaa said.
"Now Amij, Cirak and Naan are left." Milana said.
With Naan.
Naan was having quite the trouble unlocking the Code Pin and gasped when she saw she had 6 minutes left.
"Ugh, how do I find the code!?" Naan asked.
Naan spawned some reflections from a window and they began checking each electronic and when one saw the TV, she saw a telephone number in the commercial that Reven's dad was involved in.
Naan looked at the numbers and typed them into the phone.
It worked and the phone was unlocked. It only had one App which had the icon of a key.
Naan pressed the App with her thumb and a key dropped in front of her.
The reflections vanished and when Naan picked up the key, she used it to unlock the door and got out of there quickly.
Naan arrived in the area and was out of breath.
"...Did...did I win?" Naan asked.
"You sure did, Snowflake." Aika smiled.
"...Um...thanks?" Naan guessed, taking the compliment.
"Now it's between Cirak and Amij. Which one will survive while the other will be terminated? Let's find out after 5 minutes pass." The masked one said.
Both Amij and Cirak were shown from both angles.
They both saw the timer's and saw they had 5 minutes left and began working faster.
Eventually, 4 minutes pass and now one minute was left.
Amij only had three light bulbs to attach to the machine while Cirak had three gears left to attach to the truck.
"Okay, just put these three and I'm done." Amij said.
He puts in the bulbs and pressed the button.
The machine wasn't working.
"...Oh, come on! Did I put them wrong?" Amij asked, looking at the sheet again.
It appears he put two of them in the wrong places and pulled the bulbs out.
Cirak puts in the last three gears.
"Alright, it's now or never!" Cirak said, closing the hood and starting the truck.
The two had 30 seconds left.
Amij puts the bulbs in their proper places and pressed the button again.
The machine was working now.
"YES!" Amij yelled.
A key peered out of the machine.
Amij immediately grabbed it and flew towards the door.
He unlocked it and joined the others.
"WOOHOO! I MADE IT! THAT WAS SO CLOSE!" Amij said.
"...So...does this mean..." Lionel said.
It cuts to Cirak. The truck was not working at all.
"EMOJ, YOU ARE GONNA DO 3000 PUSH UPS BECAUSE YOUR DAMN GEARS DON'T WORK!" Cirak yelled.
Cirak looked at the timer and he had 10 seconds left.
10,9,8
Cirak frowned, removing his military hat and placing it on his chest.
7,6,5,4
"...It's been a pleasure being in this Tournament...and serving my country and my people." Cirak said, doing the salute.
3,2,1...
A large explosion was heard in the area, coming from Cirak's room.
"Well, it appears General Cirak has been terminated from this Tournament." The masked person said.
The monitor changed it's screen to the room Cirak was in.
It was covered entirely in what looked like blood and Cirak was on the floor, covered in blood aswell.
"...Oh my God...T-They actually killed Cirak!" Naan gasped.
"YOU BASTARD!" Amij yelled.
"Well, I was wrong. God does exist. Only he could pull off such a miracle like this." Sigmund said.
"...Really? Really now?" Iknaa asked Sigmund.
"...Wait a minute...I can still sense Cirak's heart and it's beating fine. He is not dead." Lionel said.
"That is correct." Aeon said.
They turned around and saw Aeon and Natasha, who entered in through the door from behind them.
"About time you two showed up...wait...if you two are here...then who is..." Milana said, looking at the monitor.
The monitor changed to the masked person. They removed the mask, revealing to be...Minerva.
"Oh, finally, wearing this mask was a pain. It was way too hot in here." Minerva said, wipping sweat off her forehead.
"...Minerva? What is going on?" Aika asked.
"Oh, right, I should explain this. Aeon and Natasha asked us to help out with a challenge here in Universe 11 for you guys and I got the role of the one giving you the rules of the challenges. The ship you are in is the Society's ship. The whole bomb thing was a ruse to make things interesting. The rest of the Society helped prepare the challenges." Minerva said.
"...So...what was that Boom sound we just heard?" Kimura asked.
"That was sound effect that I played." Minerva said.
"And the red stuff?" Naan asked.
"Tomato Juice." Minerva said.
Cirak slowly woke up and saw most of the room and himself covered in ketchup.
"...Tomato Juice? Tomato Juice!? ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS!? AFTER POURING MY OWN HEART AND SOUL INTO MY LAST WORDS!? IF I WOULD OF DIED, I WOULD OF DIED WITH DIGNITY ATLEAST!" Cirak yelled.
"Oh, great, he is not dead." Sigmund frowned.
"So, by terminated, Cirak is actually eliminated?" Ceygas asked.
"Yes. Since Cirak didn't finish his challenge in time, he is eliminated." Aeon said.
"...Why did you need to put sleeping pills in our food and drag us into the ship instead of, I don't know, telling us about it?" Sothot asked.
"Well, I figured that it would be much more interesting to do it this way than simply telling you. I wanted to make you think that you were actually in danger in order to focus hard on the challenges and see how fast you can finish them. Though, this isn't the first time I did this. I did the same thing with the competitors from the Tournament in which Hastur won, except it took place in Universe 1." Aeon said.
"Oh, yeah, Laerz got eliminated in that one thanks to Emynx." Lionel said.
"I knew it was fake from the beginning. I heard them talking before we got dragged into Universe 11." Sigmund said.
"...Weren't you unconscious aswell?" Lionel asked.
"I pretended to be unconscious. I din't eat the food at all." Sigmund explained, adjusting his glasses.
"Hmph, figures." Kimura said, folding her arms.
Cirak opened the door, still covered in juice, looking pissed off.
"...You know, Sarge, with all the huice, you look like a living Tomato yourself." Amij smiled.
"...Do 100 push ups before I throw you out the window." Cirak said.
It cuts back to the main ship.
Cirak had his stuff with him and a portal that takes him back to his Earth was opened, everyone was standing in front of him.
"So, any last words?" Aeon asked.
"...Despite my humiliating defeat...I wish you all to have a chance at winning this game...everyone except Sigmund that is." Cirak said.
"Your generosity is appreciated." Sigmund sarcastically said.
Amij, Lionel and Sothot gave him the salute.
Cirak nodded before he walked into the portal and it closed.
"And that wraps for today. All of you can rest. I'll see you all in the next day." Aeon said, walking away, along with Natasha.
"....Well, that was something." Lionel said.
"Indeed. I must say, these...cars...are quite interesting...I might buy myself one once this Tournament is finished. I'm learning quite a lot about your world's cultures." Iknaa said, looking pleased.
"Well, you'll have a hard time driving in the sand then." Ceygas said.
Aika turned to Kimura.
"...So...besides the sleep pills, it was kinda fun, right?" Aika asked.
Kimura simply looked at Aika while folding her arms.
"...I guess...why are you talking to me?" Kimura asked.
"....Because...Why not? Look, I understand how you're feeling but-" Aika said.
"Then understand this: I do not need you or anyone else's pity. Especially after what happened yesterday with the whole accusation. So, drop it." Kimura said, before she walked away.
"...This girl really is stubborn." Aika frowned.
"She'll open, eventually." Milana said.
"Doubtful." Sigmund said, before leaving the area.
The rest of the Omnis left aswell, all except Ceygas who was for some reason staring at the ceiling.
"...What's wrong?" Naan asked Ceygas, stopping in her tracks.
"...Nothing. You can go." Ceygas said.
Naan nodded before she left.
Ceygas then began to think about her seeing Yarim's photo with her graduation day, starting to imagine herself getting the degree she always wanted...but couldn't.
"...I guess some people are more luckier than I am." Ceygas muttered, before walking away.
Meanwhile, in Universe 6.
A figure wearing a dark cloak, it's face hidden by the hood was walking on the desert, right towards a familiar black tower.
The figure opened the door and entered in the tower.
It the tower that Minkah was trapped in.
And there she was, her hands wrapped with new chains and the sound of the door opening woke her up and tried to lunge at the strange visitor.
The stranger walked up to the undead Omnipotent and took off the hood...revealing to be Xuko.
"Minkah, the Omnipotent of Necromancy. Yes, your element will prove useful for my plans." Xuko said.
Minkah however just continued trying to break out of the chains, wanting to devour Xuko.
"...How cute." Xuko smiled.
Xuko then grabbed Minkah by her neck and pulled her right to Xuko's face.
Xuko's eyes were closed and when he reopened them, his eyes now looked like two sigils.
The sigils also appeared in Minkah's eyes and she stopped trying to attack him and looked on the ground.
"It appears not even a powerful undead being is immune to my control. Minkah, can you hear me?" Xuko asked.
"...Y-Yes...Master...Xuko." Minkah said, now being under Xuko's control.
"Excellent. I have a job for you. I want you to resurrect the dead Omnipotents so I can harvest their essence." Xuko said.
"...I...can't do that..." Minkah said
"...Why not?" Xuko asked.
"...I have to be in front of their bodies in order to do it...I have to be at the place where they were buried or the places where they died...that's how it works." Minkah said.
"...Hm, I see...so you can't summon them all at the same time...very well then." Xuko said.
Xuko rips the chains off Minkah, releasing her.
"...Let's go. I know the perfect place where you can use your power." Xuko said.
He clicked his fingers and flames engulfed Xuko and Minkah, as they both vanished from the prison.
They reappeared in front of two graves buried in the sand.
One tombstone had the name 'Asime' and the other 'Setam'
"...Here they are. The two Omnipotents who died in this world. Sekami and Kamest." Xuko said.
He looked at Minkah.
"Do your work." Xuko said.
Minkah looked at the two graves as her eyes began glowing black.
She raised her arms to the sky and clouds gathered in the sky.
Two dark pillars were shot out of the sky, a pillar hitting Sekami's grave while the other hits Kamest's grave.
Two souls descended from the pillars and were floating above the graves. They were summoned from the afterlife.
Dirt flew from the graves, gathering around the two souls.
The dirt covered the souls and they began to form into bodies.
One person had short brown scruffy hair, brown beard and a brown robe while the other was bald but had short black hair coming from the back on his head and was wearing a white robe. As a side effect of the Necromancy element, both had grey skins, black sclera's with red pupils.
Xuko smiled at this.
The two resurrected Omnipotents looked around.
"...Where...am I...I'm...I'm not supposed to be here." Sekami said.
"...Me...neither...what's going on!?" Kamest asked.
"I summoned you two here. With a little help from my new friend." Xuko said.
Sekami and Kamest looked at Xuko before looking at Minkah.
"...Himan?...Did you...use the Necromany element to bring us here?" Kamest asked.
Minkah did not respond.
"I'm afraid your friend can't talk. She is under my control." Xuko said.
"...Who are you?" Sekami asked.
"I am Xuko, the one who will soon have all the elements of the Omnipotents and have complete control over all the worlds. And you two will help me." Xuko said.
"....No...no...this is...this is the exact reason why I took out my own life...because of people like you who kept forcing me to make artefacts for their own selfish desires! I refuse to do this again!" Kamest said.
"We won't help a monster like you." Sekami said.
"Hm. What a shame. Oh well." Xuko smiled.
The two sigils in his eyes appeared, looking right at Sekami and Kamest.
The sigils were imprinted on their eyes aswell and they were under his control like Minkah now.
Xuko grabbed two skulls from his coat and aimed them at Sekami and Kamest.
The skulls were glowing and Sekami and Kamest were pulled into the skulls by extracting their essences into it.
"...2 down. 142 more to go." Xuko smiled.
Xuko and Minkah vanished.

CHAPTER 3 FORGOTTEN WASTELANDS
In Stage 3
The Omnipotents were mostly doing their own thing there.
Ceygas was chatting up with Iknaa and Aika.
Sothot was writing something on a sheet of paper
Kimura was in her room, listening to music
Lionel was laying against a wall, with his arms folded, just looking around.
Amij was sitting on the bench, looking a bit upset.
Naan walked out of the hotel and when she noticed Amij's expression, she walked up to him.
"...Are you okay?" Naan asked.
"...Not really." Amij said.
"...Did something happen?" Naan asked.
"...The thing is...I barely avoided eliminations in the other challenges. I almost come out last in the challenges. In the first challenge, I ended up on 9th place and in the last challenge, I came out on 11th place. Barely top 5 there." Amij said.
"....Well...I din't exactly make it that far in the last challenge so....you shouldn't be upset about that." Naan said.
"I guess...well, one thing is for sure. I'll definitely try to make it to top 3 or 5 in this challenge, no more coming out on last place guy from here on out." Amij said.
"That's cool...so...what do you think about everyone else?" Naan asked.
"...Lionel and Sothot are cool...Ceygas, Milana and Aika are okay I guess...I'm staying away from Kimura...and Sigmund creeps me the heck out." Amij said.
"...Yeah, he is kinda scary...I feel like he might do something terrible soon..." Naan said.
"Well, if he does, I will stop him. I'm a hero after all. And heroes don't let people get hurt. So, don't worry about Sigmund." Amij said.
"...Thanks." Naan smiled.
Lionel looked at Amij and Naan and at Ceygas and Iknaa before he walked up to Sothot.
"...So, so far, there are 10 of us left." Lionel said.
"I can see that." Sothot said, while writing.
Lionel then looked around, to see if anyone will hear him
"...Sigmund seems to be the most dangerous and the most cunning out of us all...if we aren't careful, that guy will end up in the finals. Who knows what he will do once he gets all the knowledge he needs." Lionel said.
"Indeed. Sigmund is quite a troublesome character. But I suspect that it won't be long till everyone else will try to get rid of him." Sothot said.
"Hopefully it won't be late when that happens...hey so...do you think we could like cooperate with each other?...You know, us working together...to make it to the game and possibly get Sigmund out?" Lionel said.
Sothot stopped writing as he looked at Lionel.
"...Are you suggesting an alliance?" Sothot asked.
"Kinda...I...just want to have someone watch my back, that's all." Lionel said.
"...Consider it done...though, shouldn't you ask Iknaa to watch your back? You've been talking to her, correct?" Sothot asked.
"....Iknaa is nice...but not sure if I can really trust her to have my back when everything goes down...I see her being allies with Ceygas, Aika and Milana than with me so." Lionel said.
"Well, hopefully she won't hear you say that. It might break her trust in you and possibly her heart too." Sothot said.
"...What do you mean about that?" Lionel asked.
"...Nothing. I was just spouting nonsense is all." Sothot said.
"...Riiight." Lionel said, unconvinced.
"So, with that said, you girls think we should form an alliance to get rid of Sigmund and Kimura?" Aika asked.
"Those two had been the most extreme players so far...And one of them got my pet killed...so I wouldn't mind if we knock them out of the competition for good." Iknaa said.
"I suppose...but what about the rest?" Ceygas asked.
"The rest don't seem to be that much dangerous compared to Sigmund so, I think we can take them out by ourselves." Aika said.
"Sothot's powers do make him a threat, with his manipulation of Reality. If Sigmund goes down, he will be the next target obviously." Iknaa said.
"Yeah...not to mention...he looks very much like Hastur." Ceygas said.
"...Maybe he is his twin brother?" Aika shrugged.
"Could be...Where is Milana?" Ceygas asked.
"Training in Stage 2. She wants to be prepared for the next challenge." Iknaa said.
In cuts to stage 2.
Milana was currently avoiding some lasers being shot at from some spheres.
She jumped at one orb and slashed it in half with her claws.
Milana grabbed one sphere and threw it at the other, both orbs exploded when they knock against each other.
She kicked two sphere's, sending one crashing into two spheres while the other crashed into one sphere.
Two sphere's then levitated near Milana on the left and right.
Milana looked at the sphere's and smiled.
When they started shooting, Milana jumped out of the way and the sphere shoot against each other, exploding in pieces.
The sphere's were completely destroyed.
"...Hmph. That was some good workout. This definitely helped prepare me for the next challenge." Milana said, folding her arms.
From a window nearby, Sigmund watched Milana's training and wrote something in a note of his.
"...Fascinating." Sigmund said as he walked out before Milana could see him.
Aeon's voice was heard in the area.
"Attention contestants. Meet in Stage 1 for the new challenge." Aeon said.
"...We'll see what Aeon got cooked for us this time." Milana said, walking out of the area.
It cuts to stage 1, where the 10 Omnipotents gathered in front of Aeon and Natasha.
"Alright, Omnipotents. Today's challenge will take place in Universe 10." Aeon said.
"...My Universe?" Naan guessed.
"...There 11 of us in the last challenge and it took place in Universe 11. And now a challenge in Universe 10 with 10 of us left. I assume that the challenge after this will be in Universe 9?" Iknaa asked.
"Not exactly. The order of the Universal challenges are random." Aeon said.
"What's the challenge?" Kimura asked.
"Well, I'm sure most of you know about what happened to Universe 10, how it became a dead Universe." Aeon said.
"...I think it was because of the war that happened, then Hastur...and then...Verita." Lionel said, finding it hard to say the last part.
"And if Kacaj won the last tournament, he would of been another cause." Ceygas said.
"...Yeah." Amij said.
Sothot simply looked the other way around for some reason.
"So, why do you bring this up?" Milana asked.
"The population has been divided on Earth, creating multiple communities so...I figured that for this challenge, each of you will be dumped in different parts of 10's Earth and you will have to arrive at a certain destination. The last one who gets there or doesn't make it there at all will be eliminated." Aeon said.
"Of course." Iknaa said.
"...Should of brought a coat with me for this one." Aika said.
"...What's the destination?" Ceygas asked.
"You will have to arrive on a mountain with a cottage on it. Though, there is a snowstorm that has been going forever so be careful when you climb there." Aeon said.
"...So, we have to get to Nikolai's home?...Okay." Naan said.
"If we're gonna be separated, how will we even find the place? Do you have a map or something?" Lionel asked.
Natasha clicked her fingers.
Each Omnipotent now had a compass in their hands.
"They will help you find the mountain." Aeon said.
"Huh, cool." Amij smiled.
"Do we begin now?" Sigmund asked.
"Yes. Natasha?" Aeon asked.
Natasha raised her hands as her eyes started to glow yellow.
10 portals appeared above each Omnipotent and all of them fell right through the portals, the sound of their screams were heard as the portals closed.
"...Probably should of gave them some coats before I summoned the portals." Natasha said.
"I'm sure they'll be alright." Aeon said.
Natasha shrugged.
With Sothot
He was sort of descending down from the sky, not really screaming or reacting.
He eventually landed down on top of a statue, right on his back.
"...Ow." Sothot said, not looking in pain.
He looked at the area around him...and he was in the village where the Crest of Wonders was hidden at.
Sothot was currently laying on top of Zand's statue.
"...I suppose I should come down now." Sothot said.
Sothot got off the statue and landed on the ground.
Muil walked out of one of the houses, noticing Sothot and let out a huge howl.
Many white dogs ran out of the houses and all of them surrounded Sothot.
Sothot looked at the dogs with curiosity in his eyes.
"...Greetings?" Sothot guessed.
"...Who are you? What are you doing here?" Muil asked.
"...I'm Sothot, the Omnipotent of Reality." Sothot said.
"Reality?" One of the dogs asked.
"I think I saw him in that ship." Another one said.
"Could we trust him?" A dog asked.
"He looks exactly like the one who destroyed the world." Another dog said.
"Hastur was his name." A dog said.
"Yes, yes, I'm aware of that little fact. I have nothing to do with him." Sothot frowned.
"You do look like him." Muil said.
"And all of you basically look the same and you can all talk, something that no ordinary dogs can do." Sothot said.
"...They can't?" A dog asked, sounding confused by what Sothot said.
"Zand told us that dogs from other worlds can't talk like us." Another dog said.
"Why are you here then, Omnipotent? Hopefully, you din't come here to take the Crest of Miracles." Muil said.
"No, I'm not a Neonyte to be interested in that crest. I'm here because of a challenge." Sothot said.
"Challenge?" Muil asked.
"Yes, the guardian Aeon sent each one of us on different parts of this place and make it to a mountain." Sothot said.
Muil and the dogs looked at each other before looking back at Sothot.
"...We're listening." Muil said.
With Amij
He was descending from the sky aswell, screaming, before he landed on top of a roof.
The roof he landed on was the roof of the orphanage.
Amij slowly got on his feet and looked around.
"...Talk about a rough landing." Amij sighed.
Amij then spotted a large mountain that could be seen from the distance. It looked to be far away but he could see it clearly and the snowstorm.
"...Hey, that looks like the mountain. Awesome! I won't make it last for sure. All I have to do is make a good jump and fly my way up there." Amij smiled.
Amij then got himself ready to jump and fly to the mountain.
"Okay, one, two-"
And the part of the roof that Amij was standing on collapsed, falling in the orphanage.
Amij painfully landed on the floor, in a room.
"...That din't go as planned...AH!" Amij yelled in pain.
He puts his hand on his leg. It got injured when he landed.
"Ah, great." Amij frowned.
"What the hell was that!?" A female voice asked.
"I...I don't know. Maybe the ceiling collapsed from all the snow?" Another voice asked.
"Let's go and check it out. It could be a thief." The voice said.
"...Oh crap." Amij said.
Amij slowly got up and when he tried to walk, his left leg was hurting.
"Are you kidding me!?" Amij asked.
The sound of feet climbing the stairs and then running towards the room was heard.
Someone kicked in through the door and went into the room.
It was Sandra, holding a shotgun(where she got it is a mystery) and immediately it at Amij.
"HOLD IT RIGHT THERE!" Sandra yelled.
"Woah, woah, lady, calm down! Sorry about bursting into your...house, I guess? I ended up on the roof and-" Amij said.
"And you wanted to steal something, din't you? Are people really that desperate these days that they want to steal something from a old lady? That's so low." Sandra said.
"What? No! I'm Amij, the Omnipotent of Flight, I ended up here thanks to a stupid host who sent me here to complete a challenge." Amij said
"Yeah, and I'm the princess of polar bears. Nice try, pal." Sandra said, still holding the shotgun.
"Sandra, what's going on?" The other voice asked.
"This dipshit crashed into the roof and claims to be the Omnipotent of Flying or something, but I don't buy it." Sandra said.
Lucia entered in and looked at Amij, taking a good look at him.
"...Who are you?" Lucia asked.
"Like I told her, I'm a Omnipotent from Universe 7. I'm here because I'm participating in a Tournament and the current challenge is taking place here. I ended up on your roof and when I tried to fly, the roof collapsed and I ended up here...and injured my leg." Amij frowned.
"...Hm...is there anyone from this Universe with you in this competition?" Lucia asked.
"Um yeah...is that's girl with the yellow hair...Naan I think was her name." Amij said.
"...I see...Sandra, drop that." Lucia told her.
"What? You trust what he is saying?" Sandra asked.
"I have a feeling he is telling the truth. Besides, he doesn't look like us. His skin is different...not to mention his...weird cat eyes...I don't think he is a thief." Lucia said.
Sandra looked at Lucia before looking at Amij but she lowered her shotgun nonetheless.
"...What is this challenge that you need to complete that you had to break the roof?" Sandra asked.
"Each of us were separated and we have to get to a large mountain where a guy called Nikolai lives at." Amij said.
"...I see...and you said you injured your leg when you crashed here?" Lucia asked.
"Yeah, and it hurts like hell. Can you help me?" Amij asked.
"...I don't think I can help you that much but there is a Omnipotent in the village who can heal people. You can ask him." Lucia said.
"Oh, that's sweet. Thanks...well, I should probably get out of here and find the guy." Amij said.
"Yes, you should." Sandra frowned.
Amij just looked at Sandra before slowly walking out of the room, while trying to ignore the pain from his leg.
"...I hope you were right about this, Lucia." Sandra sighed.
With Milana
She appeared to be unconscious from the fall.
When she opened her eyes, she found herself laying in a large crater.
"...Ugh, my head...where did I end up on?" Milana asked.
Milana got up and walked out of the crater.
When she looked around, there was a huge ice lake right behind her that seemed to be there for quite awhile.
Milana tried to look inside the lake and could see two...people it looked like but they weren't moving at all. They were most likely dead.
"...Of." Milana frowned.
She then turned around and she appeared to be what looked like a apocalyptic wasteland.
There were pieces laying on the ground and what looked like the remains of a festival.
Also pieces of Hastur's soldiers, the Shades, laying around in the snow.
She spotted the head of a teddy bear on the ground.
"...This place...is quite depressing...I should probably get out of here." Milana said.
She pulled out her compass and it pointed to the south.
"...I'll need something to get there fast...maybe a vehicle is still working." Milana said.
With Aika.
Aika landed in what looked like a battlefield that took place years ago and it was covered entirely snow and a blizzard was going on.
She got up, getting some snow off her dress before pulling out her new umbrella.
"Good thing that I bought this before I participated in this game. And it should prove useful if I run into some buster, bear...or anything else dangerous." Aika said.
Aika looked at her compass and it pointed East.
"...Alright compass, I'll trust you on this one. Better not get me lost." Aika said.
Aika then began walking, while using her umbrella when walking through the harsh blizzard, passing by some corpses buried in the snow.
With Ceygas.
It cuts to a large smaller looking village than Dilon's.
There was a old lady who was cleaning up the landry outside her house.
And Ceygas landed on the ground, right in front of the house.
The old lady jumped in response.
"Oh, my!" The old lady said.
Ceygas slowly got up, getting the snow out of her hair before looking at the old lady.
"...Um, hi." Ceygas awkwardly said.
"...You descended from the sky...are you an angel, young lady?" The old lady asked.
"...Nope. I landed here right from a space ship...in order to get a mountain...yeah." Ceygas said.
"...Oh...okay then..." Old lady said.
Ceygas looked around.
"...I'm guessing this isn't the village where the Omnipotents live in, right?" Ceygas asked.
"...No, not at all...this is...where we retreated after Hastur attacked...but not many of us made it out of there alive...like my daughter...May." The old lady frowned.
"...She was a Omnipotent too, wasn't she?" Ceygas asked.
"...She was." The old lady nodded.
"...I'm sorry." Ceygas said.
"It's not your fault dear...come inside. You look a bit cold. You could use a cup of coffee." The old lady said.
Ceygas raised an eyebrow but shrugged.
"Sure." Ceygas said
The old lady smiled as she opened the door and gestured at Ceygas to follow.
With Lionel
He landed on his feet, right on a ice lake.
A few cracks were heard when he landed on it.
"...Shit." Lionel gulped.
He looked and spotted what looked like a tribe of people nearby, who were sitting at the fire and there were plenty of tents there. Most of them were wearing coats made out of fur.
Lionel then began to slowly walk towards the tribe while trying not to break the ice lake.
"...Hey there!" Lionel called out, waving at the people
They turned and looked confused when they saw Lionel.
"...Who is that?" A person asked.
"I don't know...maybe he needs help?" Another person asked.
"I don't trust him. Could be a thief." Another one said.
"...And why is he walking on the ice lake?" Another one asked.
Lionel was close to getting to the ground and before he could, the ice broke and he fell in the lake.
"SHIT! HELP! HELP!" Lionel screamed, trying to sink into the cold water.
"HE NEEDS OUR HELP!" A person screamed.
Three of them got up, pulling out a rope and ran to the ice lake.
One of them threw the rope towards Lionel while the other was holding onto it.
Lionel grabbed the rope and was pulled out of the lake.
Unfortnately, he was now shaking due to how cold the water and was shaking while the tribe was staring.
"...I-I need a towel..." Lionel said.
"...Who is this?" A person asked.
"I feel like I saw him somewhere before...maybe he was on that ship." Another person asked.
"Let's ask Konan. He could know who he is." Another person said.
"Right." Another one said.
Two of them ran into the bigger tent. They walked out with a rather large shirtless muscular guy, scars all over his body, wearing the rug of a polar bear on himself. The polar bear's head was covering his head while the rest of the fur covered most of his back and was wearing a loingcloth.
The muscular man walked to the shaking Lionel who simply stared at him.
"...You...I definitely saw you before...you were with the Omnipotents, right?" The man asked.
"...Y-yeah...I'm L-Lionel...the Omnipotent of S-Sense." Lionel said.
"...Is that so?" The man asked, looking very ominous as he stared at Lionel.
Lionel looked at the man, looking pretty nervous.
"...Hahahaha! You're shaking like a little baby right now! Don't worry, I'm not gonna butcher you." The man smiled, holding out his hand towards Lionel.
Lionel looked pretty disturbed by the guy's sense of humor but grabbed onto his hand nonetheless.
"You're one of the Omnipotent guys who saved our home from being destroyed. We thank ya for that." The man said.
"...Oh...thanks...it was really Minami who saved you all...I was mostly...just there." Lionel said.
"Nonsense. Anyone who participated in saving us is a hero. And you, are a hero." The man said.
"...I guess so." Lionel said.
"My name is Konan, I'm the leader of this tribe. Here, sit at the fire with us and warm yourself up." Konan said, gesturing at the campfire.
"...S-Sure." Lionel said, walking slowly towards the fire.
With Iknaa.
She painfully landed on the ground, right in a rather massive village actually, with a crowd of people staring at her.
Iknaa slowly got up and awkwardly looked at the people staring at her.
"...Hello there." Iknaa said.
"...Who is that?"
"I unno"
"She looks kinda cute"
"She is one of those Omnipotents who formed into...that thing...that saved us all, remember?"
"Oh, yeah, that's the one. She was with the rude pharaoh guy."
"...If you all don't mind, I need to-" Iknaa said.
"Ah, it's you"
Iknaa turned and saw Erika, one of Universe 10's main leaders.
"Oh, Miss LeJean. Pleasure to see you." Iknaa said, bowing to her.
"No need for the formalities dear. Call me Erika. Did the Pharaoh send you here?" Erika asked.
"Not exactly. I'm here for a challenge. I need to get to a place and the compass will lead me there...I could use a vehicle to get there. Perhaps you could spare me one?" Iknaa asked.
"...Hm...We did manage to get a lot of vehicles up and running so...I guess it wouldn't hurt to give you just one. Follow me." Erika said.
Iknaa nodded as she followed Erika while the rest went on with their business.
With Kimura
She was currently in a tree that she landed in after being dropped.
"...This is effing great." Kimura frowned
Kimura slowly got herself out of tree and landed on her feet.
She was on top of a snowy cliff and when she looked around, she got a view of the place. At the bottom of the cliff, there was nothing but snow, no communities whatsoever.
"...I shouldn't waste any more time." Kimura said.
Kimura walked off the cliff as she looked at her compass.
It pointed North.
"...Guess I'm gonna North then." Kimura said
With Sigmund
He was currently standing around, he appeared to be in one of the New Rebellion's old bases.
He was in the meeting room and saw a bunch of old papers on the ground.
Sigmund picked one paper up and read it.
He din't seem to interested as he tossed it on the floor and saw a portrait of Manuel Kraven and Callus.
"...Quite the ugly fellow, that one is." Sigmund said, looking at Kraven.
Sigmund then walked out of the room and continued searching the place for a vehicle.
He eventually arrived in a place that had a helicopter and there were some blue lizards laying around.
Most of them backed away in fear as Sigmund walked past them and got in the helicopter.
When he pressed a button, it made a sound. It appeared to be working.
Sigmund then turned to look at the lizards nearby.
With Naan.
She was currently laying in the snow before she got up, wipping her eyes and looked around
She appeared to be in what looked like a old amusement park that appeared to be abandoned for quite a long time.
Naan walked around, looking at the place.
She walked up to some carousel horses that weren't moving at all.
Naan spotted a control panel nearby, with a bright red button on it.
Naan looked at the horses before walking to the panel and pressed the button.
Surprisingly, the carousel horses started moving again.
"...Wow..." Naan said, opening her mouth in awe.
Naan then looked behind her.
"...I don't think it would hurt if I...explored this place a bit before I go to Nikolai's..." Naan said.
Naan looked at a lake and unleashed 7 reflections of herself as each of them went towards the other attractions, deciding to have some fun.
With Milana
She was walked past a few broken houses, looking around for vehicles.
Most of the cars there looked wrecked and the only ones available were some bicycle nearby.
Milana walked up to one bicycle and lifted it up.
"...Well, it's no car but better than nothing." Milana sighed.
Milana got on the bicycle and went off, pedaling very fast while following her compass
With Ceygas.
She was in the kitchen of the old woman's house, holding a cup of coffee as she was looking at a picture of the old woman when she was younger, her husband and their daughter May, who had blond twintails, earmuffs, green jacket over a yellow coat and a bag full of art supplies.
"That's our daughter, May. Doesn't she look beautiful?" The old woman asked.
"She does." Ceygas said, taking a sip from her coffee.
"She had an eye for art. Always liked to draw stuff. When Hastur attacked, she was on the mountain...drawing as usual...when that beam hit...she...got hit...and...drowned...along with some other friend of her's...he was called Wayne." The woman frowned.
"...I'm sorry to hear that." Ceygas said, not knowing what else to say.
"...I hope that monster is rotting in hell for what he did...but even if he is dead...it din't bring back May." The old woman sighed.
"...Well, I'm sure May is in a more better place now...and she probably can't wait to see you again." Ceygas said, trying to comfort her as best as she can.
"...And I can't wait to see her again soon too." The old woman said.
Ceygas finished her coffee and sat up.
"...I'd hate to take more of your time so...I'll be taking off now." Ceygas said.
"Hm, alright dearie. Thank you for coming here. I needed someone to talk to." The old woman smiled.
Ceygas nodded as she walked out of the house and looked at the clouds.
She zapped herself into a cloud and jumped into the other one, while following the compass.
With Lionel.
He was sitting near the fire, now feeling warmer now.
Konan sat next to him, holding a stuck with a fish on it.
"Here, have some. You look hungry." Konan said.
"...Um, thanks." Lionel said.
He grabbed the stick and took a bite out of the fish. Judging by his face, he did not like the taste of the fish one bit before giving it back to Konan.
"...So...do you and your people live here?" Lionel asked.
"Basically. I was born years later after the population was divided...I was raised by the animals, they taught me how to survive. Then the next thing you know, I save a group of people from a wild polar bear and began following my lead. I was a hero to them for saving their lives. Then we settled here. Most of us go into the forest to hunt while the rest stay here to fish." Konan said.
"Huh, I see." Lionel said.
"How exactly did you find us?" Konan asked.
"I din't. I was dropped here. I have to get to a large mountain where a Omnipotent of Wishes lives at...do you have any vehicles that could help me get there?" Lionel asked.
"...I don't have 'vehicles' but I have something much better. Wait here." Konan said.
Konan got up and walked into his tent while Lionel waited.
He walked out with a rather large white wolf.
"This is Silver. He'll take you to the place. He is very fast." Konan said.
"...He doesn't bite, does he?" Lionel asked.
"Only people whom I consider threats but you? You're not a threat so don't worry." Konan said.
"...Ah...thanks." Lionel said as he got up on the large wolf.
He then looked at Konan.
"...So...before I go...sorry about my friends removing you and your friend's emotions back those years ago." Lionel said.
Konan raised an eyebrow.
"...Okay...apology accepted." Konan shrugged, not having any ideas what he said there.
"...Riiight...I should probably get there now." Lionel said, ending this awkward conversation.
The wolf immediately ran off and Konan watched them leave.
With Sothot
He was sort of sitting there, chatting with the dogs.
"...I see...so all of you spent your time protecting a crest?" Sothot asked.
"Yes. Zand trusted us to keep the crest safe. Unfortnately, it got stolen once by one of those Neonytes. Luckily, the Omnipotent from Universe 11 got it back for us." Muil said.
"Hm...and this village belongs to all of you now?" Sothot asked.
"Yes. This was Zand's village but after the war, everyone else scattered while some died." Muil said.
"Sorry to hear that." Sothot said.
"One of us became the guardian of a girl but she passed away when our worlds were saved. He is currently staying with us and is still grieving even now." Muil said.
"...I see..." Sothot said.
Sothot got up and looked at the dogs.
"It was nice talking to you, but I have to go now...have luck with...the crest protection" Sothot said.
Muil nodded.
Sothot looked at the compass before he warped himself out of the village.
"...He vanished." A dog said.
"He is a Omnipotent." Another dog said.
"...That still doesn't answer the question of why he looked like him." Another one said.
With Amij
He was currently in Dilon's village, limping thanks to his busted leg.
He walked past Ponek and Ninoma who were in front of a shop as Ponek was buying her a rice ball.
Amij spotted Dilon and Mont talking in front of Mont's house.
"Hey...you guys there." Amij called out.
Dilon and Mont turned to him.
"Oh, hello...you look familiar...I saw you in the Tournament during Lujien's match with Etanfe, din't I?" Dilon asked.
"Uh, yeah, I guess so...I'm Amij." Amij said.
"Well, hello Amij...what are you doing here?" Dilon asked.
"I've been dropped on a orphanage and my leg is now busted. I have to get to a mountain in order to win the challenge and I can't fly with my injured leg. Where's the Omni who could heal my leg?" Amij said.
"...Right in front of you, my friend." Mont smiled, adjusting his glasses.
"Oh cool. Please do it." Amij said.
Mont puts his hand on Amij's leg and began healing it.
It looked better than it was before now.
Amij moved his leg a little and he wasn't feeling pain anymore.
"Man, thanks. You saved me from near elimination." Amij said.
"No problem." Mont said.
"...So, about the Tournament...Naan is still in the competition, right?" Dilon asked.
"Um sure...I don't know where she is but she probably made it to the mountain by now." Amij said.
"...I see...I have just one thing to tell you, and I want you to tell it to everyone else aswell." Dilon said.
"...What is it?" Amij asked.
Dilon got a little too closer to Amij as he looked down on him, looking rather intimidating.
"...If you or anyone else from the Tournament try to hurt her...you will answer to me...got it?" Dilon asked.
"...Yes sir." Amij gulped.
"...Alright. Now with that out of the way, I wouldn't want to delay any longer from your victory. Now go!" Dilon said.
And with that, Amij immediately flew into the sky and went towards Nikolai's mountain.
"...He seemed like a nice kid." Mont said.
"Hmph...hopefully, he won't hurt Naan or do anything to get her eliminated...for his sake." Dilon said.
With Naan.
Naan...was currently riding the mechanical horse while the rest of her dopplegangers were having fun on their own.
One Naan was eating some cotton candy, one was riding a teacup, one was throwing a ball at some bottles and one was holding some stuffed animals.
They were having the fun of the lifetime...till they remembered they had to do something very important at this moment.
"...OH CRUD!" The Naan's exclaimed.
The Naan's gathered together.
"We have to get to the mountain." Naan said.
"But how?" Another Naan asked.
"...We fun?" Another Naan asked.
The real Naan looked around and spotted a sled nearby.
"...I have an idea." Original Naan said.
With Aika.
She was still walking while following her compass and looked pretty bored.
"...Ugh, this is taking forever. I don't want to waste my Susanoo for this but if I keep walking like this, the others will get there by then." Aika said.
Aika looked around and saw the blizzard that was going and gave her an idea.
"...Hm..." Aika said, looking at her umbrella.
She lifted her umbrella to the sky and opened it.
As a result, Aika got lifted right to the sky along with her umbrella as she was being carried by the wind.
"Hell yes! Now we're talking, baby! Mountain, here comes Aika!" Aika grinned.
With Iknaa.
She and Erika were in front of a large black car.
"This is one of our best car's that actually work. It could probably take you to your destination in about 10 minutes or so." Erika said.
"Why thank you, Erika." Iknaa said.
Erika handed her the keys.
"Just be sure to bring it back here." Erika said.
Iknaa nodded as she got the keys and went into the car.
"I'll be sure to tell the pharaoh to reward your community for your help." Iknaa said.
Erika nodded as she walked away.
Iknaa started the car and drove off immediately.
With Sigmund
He was currently in the helicopter, flying in the air, going towards the mountain.
And below, on the ground, were the blue lizards...who were now pretty large, had spikes peering out of their backs, yellow intimidating eyes and were following Sigmund's helicopter as they roared loudly at the sky. Their roars sounded pretty chilling.
With Kimura
She was currently walking while following her compass.
"...Ugh, at this rate, I'll be the last one to make it there...guess I'm gonna need some speed for this one." Kimura said.
Kimura opened her jacket and pulled out another 'Speed' chemical vial.
She drank all of it and dropped the vial in the snow.
With just one step, she moved with the speed of light, going to her destination.
It cuts to Ceygas, who was jumping from one cloud to another as she was getting close to the mountain with Nikolai's cottage on it.
Eventually, she made it there...and Sothot was right there, leaning against the cottage's wall.
"...How did you get here first?" Ceygas asked.
"....My power...obviously." Sothot said.
"...Right...Well, atleast I'm safe so...that's good." Ceygas said, folding her arms.
She turned her head to see Amij flying right towards the mountain, ignoring the snow pelting his face in.
He crashlanded right on the ground, at Ceygas's feet.
"...Nice landing. I'll give you an 8." Ceygas said.
Amij got up, with a snow beard on his mouth and looked around.
"...Holy shit, I'm the third person to make it here! Nice!" Amij said, raising his fist.
"Congratulations." Sothot sarcastically said.
"I'll get the paparazzi." Ceygas said, also in a sarcastic tone.
"...Thanks." Amij frowned at their sarcasm.
Lionel eventually arrived at the mountain aswell, as he got off the white wolf and started climbing
The wolf then ran off, going back to Konan's camp.
Aika was floating in the sky while still holding onto her umbrella.
She tried to take a good look at the view and saw the mountain from the distance.
"...Yes! I'm getting closer! Alright, darlings, make way for-" Aika said
Aika got interrupted as Sigmund's helicopter smacked right into her, knocking Aika out of the sky as he was flying towards the mountain aswell.
Aika crashlanded in the forest.
She got on her feet, her spikes now covered in snow, looking annoyed.
"...The nerve of that jackass...well, it's not like he had this coming so...let's make things even." Aika said, aiming her umbrella at the helicopter, ready to launch missiles at it.
Suddenly, one of the large lizards jumped in front of Aika, roaring at her.
"...Yeah, sorry, doll, but I don't have time for autographs, I have a challenge to win." Aika said, before blasting the lizard with missiles, knocking it on it's back.
Aika then ran past the lizard, going towards the mountain.
Three more of them jumped in, surrounding Aika.
Aika then turned invisible in order to fool the lizards as she started running off.
Unfortnately, the lizards could still smell her scent and one of them grabbed the invisible Aika with their tail, knocking her into the ground.
Aika turned visible and shot more missiles at the large lizards but they avoided the missiles and growled towards her.
Suddenly, Milana's bicycle hits one of the lizard's, sending it flying and Aika jumped and landed right behind Milana, holding onto her as they were going towards the mountain.
An incredibly fast Kimura ran past the car, almost knocking Milana and Aika off the road.
"WATCH IT!" Milana yelled.
Kimura then began climbing the mountain very fast.
From another road, Naan was on the sled which was being pushed by her reflections, running very fast.
Iknaa, drove past the Naan's and arrived at the mountain before she started to climb.
Naan eventually arrived there aswell as the duplicates vanished as Naan started climbing. Having a bit of difficulty to the snowstorm that was going on and being pelted by snow.
Milana and Aika got off the bicycle and both of them started to climb.
As one of the lizards jumped on the mountain, smacking Aika and Milana into the ground.
"ARE YOU BLOODY KIDDING ME!?" Aika asked.
Both Milana and Aika were now surrounded by an army of large lizards.
"...These things don't know to quit, do they?" Milana asked, growling at them.
"Nope." Aika said, aiming her umbrella at the monsters.
On the mountain.
Kimura arrived there, followed up by Lionel.
Sigmund's helicopter landed as Sigmund walked out of the helicopter with his hands in his pockets.
Naan arrived next and Iknaa got on the top aswell.
"...So, that's 8 of us...two more left." Lionel said.
"Milana and Aika aren't here." Iknaa said, after looking around.
"...What's taking them so long?" Amij asked.
The next one to arrive was...Milana, with several marks on her body and looked very tired.
"...Where's Aika?" Ceygas asked.
"...Some, large..lizards jumped on us. We fought them but there were too many. Aika told me to run, saying she had this and I climbed here very fast." Milana said.
"...Is Aika..." Naan said.
"Don't worry about me...I'm still alive...barely." Aika's voice said.
Aika made herself visible, it appears she arrived right after Milana...and her spikes were now messed up, she had a black eye, a few scars, her dress was torn up and there were foot marks all over her back.
"...Yikes...you don't look good." Amij said.
"Geee, Ya THINK?" Aika asked, giving Amij the most sarcastic fake smile, hiding her rage through that smile.
"...What happened to the lizards?" Lionel asked.
"Most of them ganged up on me till I used my ability to make myself AND my scent invisible and managed to make it here right after Milana...she was way more faster than I was...and I think I might know who was responsible for those giant scally freaks." Aika said, giving Sigmund the death glare.
Sigmund simply stared back at her with a calm expression on his face.
"...So, this means-" Sothot said.
"That Aika is out. She was the tenth person to arrive on the mountain and so, she lost." Aeon said, as he and Natasha appeared on the mountain
"Splendid. Thanks, Siggy." Aika frowned.
The cottage's door opened and Nikolai walked outside with a cup of hot coffee, raising an eyebrow at the crowd of individuals standing in front of his house.
"...Why are you guys here...don't tell me all of you have wishes for me to grant cause I'm done with that." Nikolai said.
"...No, this was a challenge actually. We had to get here to win." Naan said.
Aika grabbed Nikolai's cup and spilled all the coffee in Sigmund's face before giving back the empty cup to Nikolai.
"Okay, now with that out of the way, I'm gonna go and pack my stuff." Aika said, as she walked past the group, stepping on Sigmund's shoe while at aswell.
"....I think she might need some anger management classes." Sigmund mentioned, wipping the coffee of his face.
Ceygas, Iknaa and Lionel simply glared at him in response.
Back in the ship.
Aika's injuries were now gone. Since Mont was nearby, he presumably healed her injuries.
"Well, Aika, anything to say before you go back to Universe 8?" Aeon asked.
"It would of been nice if I made it to top 5 atleast...but I hope you darlings will continue have fun and I'll be cool with any of you winning this...oh, and Siggy...I suggest you watch your back from now on. Birn was the Omnipotent of Karma...but that din't exactly prevent him getting what he deserved, now did it?" Aika asked.
Sigmund simply blinked in response.
The other competitors waved at Aika and she waved back at them, blowing a kiss before walking into the portal and it closed.
"And with that, 9 more remained. I'll be seeing you all in the next challenge." Aeon said, as he and Natasha walked off.
Most of the people glared at Sigmund and walked out of the area. Sigmund remained, looking at the floor, he appeared to be thinking.
In the restaurant.
The Omnipotents were currently eating.
Ceygas, Iknaa, Milana and Lionel were talking about Aika while Amij and Naan were sitting at a table as Amij was talking about his triumph.
"I finally made it to top 3 in a challenge! Woohoo! Can you believe it?" Amij asked.
"That's nice...so, you meet Dilon and Mont?" Naan asked.
"Yup...the old guy was kinda scary...he told me that if I or anyone else here hurts you...he is gonna kick our asses." Amij said.
"...He is pretty overprotective when it comes to me...even though I can take care of myself...but he cares about me so, it isn't that bad." Naan said.
"Well, I guess." Amij shrugged.
Naan then looked around before turning to Amij.
"...Amij...do you think we could...um, work together as a team?" Naan asked.
"...As a team?" Amij asked.
"...Yeah. I don't think most of the adults here would work with me...and Sigmund is pretty scary...I need someone to protect me if he does something...we could help each other out in the competition." Naan guessed.
"...Sure, I can do that. I don't want Sigmund here as much as you do. We'll kick his ass together and send him back to his mommy if we have to." Amij smiled.
"Thanks...so, are we a team?" Naan asked.
"Yup." Amij confirmed.
In the hotel.
Kimura was laying on her bed, chewing some candy while some loud rock music was playing from her phone.
The door to her room opened and Sigmund entered in.
Kimura looked at Sigmund, turning off the music.
"...You have 5 seconds to get out." Kimura said.
"...I'm not here for a swearing contest or to fight." Sigmund said.
"And I don't care. Get out." Kimura said.
"...Fine, since you insist, I'll get to the point. With only 9 of us left, it's clear no one trusts me and they'll do whatever it takes to get me out of the competition as soon as possible." Sigmund said.
"Not my problem. You deserve anything that will happen to you anyways." Kimura said, looking at the ceiling.
"...I might need your assistance with getting further in the competition." Sigmund said.
"...Me...working with you? Fuck off. I'm not that dumb." Kimura said.
Sigmund then puts his hand on his chin and smiled.
"...You...din't exactly have a fun childhood, did you? Kids bullying because of your mother working for the council and with the current scandal going on, you are going through a tough time, aren't you?" Sigmund asked.
Kimura glared bullets, knives and scythe's at Sigmund's throat.
"...I hope you have a point bringing this shit up before I throw your ass out the fucking window." Kimura said.
"...I'm a member of the grand council, like Fujiko...if you help me get to the finish...maybe I could help clean your mother's record by convincing the council and redeem her name to everyone else. You could get to arrange a proper funeral for her and all of that. That is of course if you help me." Sigmund said.
"...How do I know you're telling the truth? You are my Jasmine's worst enemy." Kimura said.
"I'm aware of your troublesome cousin, but as it stands, she isn't an top member of 1's Government now is she? She doesn't have the power to cleanse your mother's name, all she does is look after a group of aliens in...wherever she hid them at. Jasmine can't do anything to help you, but I can. As long as you're willing to help me, Fujiko will not be remembered as a criminal who worked for a shady organization by the community. Isn't that what you wish?" Sigmund asked.
Kimura looked at Sigmund but looking at the ground. She looked uncertain.
Sigmund turned around
"...You aren't as ignorant as I thought you might be. Now that's settled, I will need your help with getting rid of Sothot. As it stands, he is a threat thanks to his element. With him out of the picture, things will be easier for both of us. Who knows...we might make it to the finale together...if you will cooperate with me that is." Sigmund said
Sigmund walked out of the room and closed the door.
Kimura buried her face into her knee's and the sound of her sobbing was heard.
In another room.
Sothot was looking out the window.
He had a hard time getting the image of Universe 10 out of his mind, seeing the damage that was made.
"....Well...Hastur...I hope you're proud of what you did." Sothot grimaced.
Back in Universe 10.
It cuts to the large wasteland where Milana landed on.
Xuko and Minkah were in front of the large ice lake as Xuko stared at the sky.
"...This is a world that has been trapped forever in ice and snow, huh?...Hm, how fitting...it reminds me exactly of my own prison...sleeping in the darkness, alone in a frozen hell without any light for years...so many years..." Xuko said.
He looked at the ground and picked up an apple next to his foot.
"Well I've come back to share, to share the pain and the horror that I was put through thanks to those Omnipotents with all humans." Xuko said.
He took a bite from the apple before squashing it with his bare hand as he turned to Minkah.
"Let's not waste any more time. Bring forth the Omnipotents of Weather and Aura." Xuko said.
Minkah's eyes glew black as she raised her arms and two pillars of darkness were shot from the sky, piercing through the ice.
The souls of Nawyen and May merged from the lake as the water gathered around the souls, forming into their bodies.
Nawyen and May were now there, their bodies floating above the lake. They looked just like Sekami and Kamest when they were resurrected.
They opened their eyes and looked around, confused.
"...This...this isn't the afterlife." Nawyen said.
"...W-Wayne....this...this is our home...it's destroyed." May said.
They turned to Xuko.
"W-Who who are-" Nawyen said.
Xuko's opened his eyes, with the sigil's in them.
The sigils appeared in Nawyen and May's eyes and both stopped moving entirely.
Xuko pulled out two skulls and sucked Nawyen and May's essence into the skulls.
"Another addition to my new powerful collection." Xuko smiled.
He opened his coat and puts the two skulls next to 6 more skulls. The two were obviously Sekami and Kamest but the 3 other ones were new.
"I have two Omnipotents from Universe 6, 3 of them from Universe 4 and now, 2 from Universe 10. I would of gotten the Omnipotent of Belief's essence if it wasn't for those dogs. Once I collect more powerful Omnipotents, I will come back here to harvest the Omnipotent's spirit...along with all the other Omnipotents living on this snowy rock." Xuko smiled.
Xuko and Minkah vanished, leaving Universe 10.
Fawn and Shawn watched the whole thing from the White Expanse through the veil
"...This is now happening." Shawn said.
Fawn simply got up and walked away while Shawn looked at her.
She stopped walking as she looked at the sky.
"...Hey, Fuzen." Fawn said, hoping the trick still works.
Fuzen appeared.
"Yes?" Fuzen asked.
Fawn turned to Fuzen.
"...I have a message for Khora." Fawn said.

CHAPTER 4 BEAST TAMERS
In the ship
The 9 Omnipotents were currently in Stage 3.
Sigmund was reading a book about math while being watched by Amij and Naan.
Ceygas was just watching Kimura leaning against the wall.
Sothot was writing another poem on a sheet of paper
Lionel and Iknaa were talking to each other.
Milana was simply drinking some soda...before she threw it in a trashcan nearby, not liking the taste.
Kimura then looked at Ceygas.
"...The hell are you looking at? You want a black eye or something?" Kimura asked.
"...Nope. I was just thinking, that's all." Ceygas said.
"...Thinking while staring at me?" Kimura asked.
"Well, it's better than staring at Sigmund so." Ceygas said.
"...Thanks? Just...stop looking at me." Kimura said, not sure if she should take it as a compliment or an insult.
"...Alright." Ceygas shrugged, turning her back....but still looking at Kimura nonetheless.
"...So, a daughter of a merchant became the pharaoh's confidant?" Lionel asked.
"Yes. He was looking for people to give him wisdom. After he listened to my ideas, he decided to make me his advisor, which is quite an honor." Iknaa said.
"Huh, cool." Lionel said.
"Not the word I would choose but it is accurate. When someone would commit a crime, they would be executed. I was the one to carry out the execution part." Iknaa said.
"...Do you remove breath from their lungs?" Lionel asked.
"Precisely. It's a more faster and less bloody tactic." Iknaa said.
"...I suppose so." Lionel shrugged.
"...And what about your childhood?" Iknaa asked.
"...Well, I was friends with Liern who's father was the owner of the castle that we live in. My and Laerz's dad were guards of the castle you see. Me and Liern sort of stopped talking to each other after the Verita thing." Lionel said.
"Hm, a shame...do you still consider him a friend?" Iknaa asked.
"...I think so...I just...don't know how to communicate with him without bringing up Rita and Veridas." Lionel said.
"I'm certain you two will find a common ground, eventually." Iknaa said.
"...I hope." Lionel shrugged.
Iknaa got up.
"I'm quite enjoying these little chats of our's." Iknaa said.
"...You do?" Lionel asked.
"Indeed. I'm quite fascinated about your Universe and it's crystals." Iknaa said.
"...Well, Ancient Egypt history does sound interesting to me aswell...I could give you a book about our Universe and the crystals." Lionel said.
"Splendid. In exchange, I'll give you some scrolls that contain some of our Universe's history." Iknaa said.
"Sure." Lionel nodded.
Sigmund, while reading, turned his gaze towards Amij and Naan.
"...Din't your parents tell you that it's rude to look at a person?" Sigmund asked.
"...Well, I din't have any parents so no." Amij said.
"...Dilon is sort of my dad...but he din't tell that it's rude to look at other people." Naan said.
"...I feel sorry for both of you." Sigmund said.
"I feel more sorry about you, dude. I feel sorry about how you turned out this way." Amij said.
"When you will grow up and experience reality, you'll find that the world isn't that black and white as you might think it is." Sigmund said, getting up and walking away from the two.
"...What did he mean by that?" Naan asked.
"...Who knows. We really shouldn't trust anything this guy says." Amij said.
"I guess so." Naan said, bitting her thumb nervously.
"Either way, we can't let that guy intimidate us. He thinks he is scary because of his mutant thing but besides that, he is nothing." Amij said.
"...Y-yeah, you're probably right." Naan said.
"Attention, everyone. It's time for the next challenge." Aeon's voice said.
"...Good luck." Naan told Amij, as she walked away.
Amij just looked at Naan before he shrugged and walked away aswell.
The Others followed aswell.
In Stage 1.
Aeon and Natasha were in front of them. there was a box placed on a chair in the middle of the room with only one hole in it.
"So, what's the challenge this time?" Milana asked.
"First question. Are any of you good with animals?" Aeon asked.
"...You insult me with that question." Iknaa said.
"...I am an animal myself." Milana said.
"Yes. You can say I am an animal lover." Sigmund said.
"Yeah, mutated ones." Ceygas deadpanned.
"...I pet a blue lizard once...does that count?" Naan asked.
"What does being good with animals has to do with the challenge?" Amij asked.
"Because it will be necessary. This challenge will take place in Universe 2." Aeon said.
"Oh, Gafust's world. Cool." Lionel said.
"Do we have to pet cute animals or something?" Kimura asked.
"I wouldn't call them cute...I would call them massive." Natasha said.
"...You're not talking about what I think you're talking about, right?" Lionel asked.
"...What are we talking about?" Amij asked.
"The 9 Tailed Beasts." Sigmund said.
"...Oh crap." Lionel sighed.
"...What are those?" Naan asked.
"There was a giant monster called Juubi. Some Guardian split it in 9 fragments, those fragments being the Tailed Beast. Each of them are living on different parts of the planet, being watched over by the Guardians of Universe 2." Sigmund said.
"...Lord Kyuubi is one of those beasts!" Milana said, looking excited.
"...The thing actually killed one of the Omnipotents from 2 from trying to steal a crystal." Lionel said.
"Well, the Omnipotent shouldn't of stolen the crystal then. It's really a bad idea to steal something from a Tailed Beast, especially Lord Kyuubi himself." Milana said.
"...9 of us with 9 Beasts...yay." Ceygas deadpanned.
"...Do we have to fight them?" Naan asked.
"That's the opposite of what you should be doing. Each of you will pick a note from this box, it will have the Tailed Beast that you selected. Once you pick up a note, you can't change it. Each Tailed Beast has it's own temple. You will be teleported to the temple's of the Tailed Beasts where you will find useful hints about how tame the Beasts, laid there by the Guardians. If you manage to tame a Tailed Beast and earn it's respect, you win the challenge. If you infuriate it and engage it in a fight, you lose the challenge, unless you are challenged by the Tailed Beast itself." Aeon said.
"...I see." Sigmund said.
"First one to pick up a note from this box is...Milana." Aeon said.
Milana walked up to the box, puts her hand through the hole and grabbed one note.
She opened the note and it was a giant orange fox with 9 tails.
"...Yes! I got the Kyuubi!" Milana smiled.
"...Good for you, then." Iknaa said.
"Ceygas, you're next." Aeon said.
Ceygas walked to the box and pulled out a note.
The note had the image of a large muscular green skinned monkey but had the body of a Gorilla with red fur, elongated blunt fangs, and two long horns curving upwards on its forehead like a crown with four tails. It was the Yonbi.
"...A monkey? Well, one of the Omnipotents I was with acted like a Gorilla, so I guess I have this covered." Ceygas shrugged.
"Next, Kimura." Aeon said.
Kimura went to the box and picked a note. She opened the note, revealing a blue armored rhinoceros beetle, with six of its seven tails resembling green insect wings, along with an actual seventh tail, all growing from the end of its abdomen, orange wings, it'ss eyes seem to be covered by a helmet-like skull, from inside of which, an orange glow can be seen. It also has spike protrusions on its shoulders and a row of slits on each shoulder, and six legs — three on each side. It was the beast with 7 tails, Nanabi.
Kimura picks up another note instead and pulled her hand out, but the note with the 7 Tailed beast was sticking out of the box. She opened the note, revealing a giant cat with two tails and it's entirely body was engulfed in blue flames. The Tailed Beast with 2 tails, Nibi.
"...A cat. Hm." Kimura said.
"Next is Lionel." Aeon said.
Lionel picked up the note sticking out of the box and when he saw the 7th Beast, he gulped.
"...A Beetle...you gotta be kidding me." Lionel said.
"Next is...Iknaa." Aeon said.
Iknaa walked towards the box and picked up a note. The note showed the image of a giant white slug with stubby arms, feet and six long tails, it has two prominent optical tentacles (eyes) and hole-like openings as a mouth. Its entire body is covered in a thick, slimy substance. Rokubi, the beast with six tails.
"...Oh my Gods, that is a disgusting creature." Iknaa said, looking disgusted.
"Next, Amij." Aeon said.
Amij smiled as he pulled out a note, looking confident. The image showed a large turtle, but with a crab-like shell, spikes all over its body, and three shrimp-like tails. Under its shell, it has red, muscle-like tissue. It has a pair of human-like arms and hands but no hind-legs. His face is concealed between a large forehead and lower jaw, both of which have spikes with red eyes. Sanbi, the beast with three tails.
"...Can I switch notes?" Amij asked, looking intimidated.
"No. Next is Naan." Aeon said.
Naan walked to the box and slowly picked a note. She nervously opened the note, revealing a white horse with 5 tails but with a dolphin's head. It has two pointed long horns and three shorter horns in front. The ends of its horns, hooves, and tails are tan, with some of the same-coloured spots before the tan areas of its horns and hooves. It also has red markings under its dark blue-green eyes. Gobi, the beast with 5 tails.
"...It looks pretty cute." Naan said.
"Next is Sigmund." Aeon said.
Sigmund picked up the next note and checked it out. The beast was a sandy-brown coloured chubby raccoon, with black markings all over it's face, body and one single tail. It has a jagged, concave mouth with no tongue, and the sclerae of its eyes are black, with yellow irides and pupils that each takes the shape of a black four-pointed star with four black dots around it. Ichibi, the beast with a single tail.
"...A beast with a single tail. Both subtle and fitting." Sigmund smiled, putting the note in his pocket.
"And now, Sothot." Aeon said.
Sothot pulled out the last note. It showed a large muscular Ox with with four long horns on its head. arms with spiked protrusions on the elbows, and hands with opposable thumbs like that of a human. Instead of legs, its lower half consists of its eight tails, which resemble the arms of an octopus. Hachibi, the beast with 8 tails.
"...Hm. Fascinating creature." Sothot said.
"Alright, now each of you know what beast you got. Natasha open the portals to the respective temple's." Aeon said.
Natasha nodded, opening 9 portals for the Omnipotents, with the view of the temple's with the statue of each Tailed Beast on them.
The Omnipotents went through each portal and they closed.
With Amij.
He appeared to be on what looked like an island surrounded by water and in front of him was the temple of the Sanbi.
"...Kay...this shouldn't be too hard." Amij said.
Amij walked into the temple. It looked like any other ancient temple except it there were two pools of water on the left and right and at the end of the temple was a door.
"...Aeon said there would be hints about the beasts...but I don't see the one for the thing." Amij said.
He saw the pools of water and walked to one.
It showed the image of a person riding on something. When he walked to the pool on the right, it showed the Sanbi, swimming through the water.
"...I'm guessing...I have to ride on the thing to get it's respect...okay then." Amij said.
Amij then turned to the door and tried opening it.
It worked and there was a beach outside the temple with a large ocean.
Amij walked out and went to the beach, towards the ocean.
He looked around for the Sanbi, not seeing it anywhere bot looking in the ocean.
"...It must be somewhere in the water...maybe if I call it out, it will hear me." Amij guessed.
He took a step back and looked at the water.
"...Hey, giant turtle thing with three tails! Show yourself!" Amij yelled out.
...It did not seem to work.
"...HEY, DO YOU HEAR ME!?" Amij called out, more louder this time.
Bubbles were seen, peering out of the water.
The Sanbi rised from the water, causing Amij to back away as it.
The massive turtle with three tails lowered it's head, looking at Amij, staring at him in silence.
"...Um, hi there...so, my name is Amij and I'm here because-" Amij said.
The Sanbi let's out a large roar, knocking Amij on the ground.
One of it's shrimp tails was aimed at Amij and launched it at him.
"CRAP!" Amij yelled.
He flew out of the way and the tail hits the sand instead.
Amij flew past the Sanbi, screaming as he was flying above the ocean and the Sanbi gave chase.
"JESUS CHRIST THAT THING ALMOST KILLED ME! THAT IS ONE PISSED OFF TURTLE!" Amij yelled.
The Sanbi jumped out of the water, descending towards Amij.
Amij turned his head and his eyes widened as the Sanbi's body slammed into him and landed back in the water.
Sanbi was now underwater, swimming and Amij's pants were now attached to one of it's tails, causing him to get stuck and was doing his best on holding his breath as he was being dragged around by the water.
With Milana
She was in the forest which wasn't too far away from Gafust's village and was in front of the Kyuubi's temple.
"..Alright, Milana. Don't be nervous when confronting Lord Kyuubi...you've got this." Milana said.
Milana walked into the temple. It looked very old and it din't have any doors, except a table with an idol of the Kyuubi on it.
Milana walked up to the table and looked around. She din't see any hints about the Kyuubi, on how it should be handled.
"...I don't see any hints...hm...guess I'm gonna have to handle this with my own words then." Milana said.
Milana smelled the place around for any possible entrances and looked at the idol.
Milana put's her hand on one of the tails and twisted it a bit.
This caused The table suddenly moved to the right, revealing a secret stairway that goes down.
"...Ah, I see." Milana said.
Milana then walked down stairs and arrived in a dark cave.
Thankfully, Milana could be able to see through the dark and spotted the entrance at the end of the cave.
When she walked out of the cave, she was in a large rocky area, the floor was covered in water and there was a waterfall to the left with some nest of crystals near it.
Milana walked in and smelled the area around. She could sense the Kyuubi's presence.
"...It's here...it's behind that waterfall." Milana said.
Milana turned to the waterfall.
"...Lord Kyuubi...can you hear me? I'm here to see you." Milana said.
A large roar was heard and Milana backed away.
The Kyuubi jumped from the waterfall and landed in front of Milana.
The beast took a good look at Milana and looked confused.
"...Who are you? You don't look human." The Kyuubi said.
"...I'm...My...My name is Milana. I'm a Omnipotent from Universe 12. A world filled individuals who aren't humans at all." Milana said.
"...No humans, huh?...That sounds interesting. Alright, Milana...what do you want?" The Kyuubi asked, sitting down.
"...Well, Lord Kyuubi...I've come here to win a challenge...and in order to do that...I have to get your...respect." Milana said.
"...My respect? And who sent you here? Was it one of those Omnipotents or Guardians up there?" The Kyuubi asked.
"...It was a Guardian, but from Universe 0, not from 2." Milana said.
"Tch. Guardians treat us like uncontrollable pets that needs to be controlled. That's what we are to them, monsters. They always try to steal what's mine and try to control me so they can use me as a weapon." Kyuubi said.
"Who would try to use you, Lord Kyuubi?" Milana asked.
"That Hanzo fool tried to control me. He wanted to use me as a weapon to defend his 'people'. Bah, humans are so selfish to the point where it's just not funny anymore." The Kyuubi said.
"....From my own point of view...not all humans are bad." Milana said.
"Really? You met humans that aren't actually selfish and bad?" The Kyuubi asked.
"...Well, the human Omnipotents that I'm participating with are nice...except one who has a few loose screws if I say so myself." Milana said.
"And besides them? Any examples of ordinary humans who don't treat animals like slaves?" Kyuubi asked.
"...Well..." Milana said.
It cuts to Naan
Naan was inside the Gobi's temple.
There were plenty of tree's in the temple. One tree was filled with fruits. Some of them looked pretty old while one looked fresh.
Naan looked at the fruits from the tree, reminding her of the fireapples from her village.
"...These fruits look yummy." Naan said.
Naan then looked at the wall, seeing an image of a person offering one of the fruits to the Gobi.
"...I'm supposed to feed it." Naan said.
Naan looked at the fruit tree, thinking she has to offer one of the fruits to the creature.
She spotted a window and summoned her reflections. Each of them began picking up the fruits and then walked outside the temple.
The Naan's were on a field, filled with flowers and it was sunny outside. It was quite a nice atmosphere.
"...It's...so...peaceful in here." Naan said.
The Naan's looked around and spotted the Gobi, standing on top of a hill, looking at the sun.
Naan looked a bit nervous as she took one step towards it.
The Gobi's head turned looking at the little girl and her reflections.
Naan's eyes widened.
"...Um..." Naan said.
The Gobi then ran towards Naan and stopped, right in front of her.
It lowered it's head, began to sniff her and the reflections.
Naan was shaking nervously, now the giant Horse creature standing in front of her.
With Ceygas
She appeared to be in a jungle and was in front of the temple.
"...Certainly fitting for a monkey Beast." Ceygas said, entering in the temple.
The temple was covered in vines and there was a image on the wall of the Yonbi being pinned to the ground by a massive being.
"...If I'll have to fight this thing, I'll need to use the Susanoo then." Ceygas said.
Ceygas then walked out of the temple and was now in a jungle area.
It was filled with monkeys.
One monkey threw mud at Ceygas
Ceygas easily dodged the mud with just one step.
"...Classy." Ceygas said.
And a huge roar was heard in the area.
The monkeys ran off the moment they heard the roar and Ceygas, who din't look nervous, turned around at the direction of the roar.
The Yonbi was seen, swinging on a vine, while roaring and pounding it's chest.
It jumped in midair and landed in front of Ceygas.
"...Hey." Ceygas waved.
"...What the hell are you doing in my territory? Get lost, twig." The Yonbi said.
"I will, once I manage to tame you or whatever to get your respect." Ceygas said.
"Tame me? Ha! I am Yonbi, the King of this Jungle. Everyone tried and failed. And in order to get my respect, you have to beat me in a fair fight." Yonbi said.
"...I figured as much. So, if I beat you-" Ceygas said.
"Which you won't." Yonbi said
"Whatever, then I'll get your respect?" Ceygas asked.
"Oh, of course. But it's doubtful that a little twig such as yourself can even be able to pin down the mighty Yonbi!" Yonbi said, proudly pounding it's chest.
"...You never know unless you try." Ceygas said.
She turned around and walked a bit away from the Yonbi. She stopped and turned around, folding her arms. She gestured at the large Monkey to try and take her on.
The Yonbi roared as it charged right at Ceygas
Ceygas jumped out of the way and struck the Yonbi with lightning.
It did not seem to affect the beast as it turned around and jumped at Ceygas, punching her into a tree.
Ceygas landed on the ground and got up, looking a bit dizzy from the punch.
Ceygas's arms and legs were now covered in electricity as she lunged at the Yonbi, kicking it in the face, also electrocuting it at the same time.
She grabbed one of it's massive arms and electrocuted it even more.
The Yonbi roared before two of it's tails smacked Ceygas on the ground.
With Lionel
Lionel was in the Nanabi's temple and most of the walls were covered in Song notes and there was a clarinet placed on the right.
Lionel walked to the clarinet and looked at the song notes.
"...I'm guessing this Tailed Beast likes music a lot...I'll need to write down the song notes so I won't forget them." Lionel said.
Lionel brought out a sheet of paper from his pocket and began writing the song Notes.
Once he finished, he grabbed the clarinet before looking at the door.
"...Here goes nothing." Lionel gulped.
Lionel walked out of the temple and was on top of a mountain.
The Nanabi wasn't nearby.
Lionel looked down and couldn't even see the ground from up here.
Lionel backed away and then sense'd the Nanabi's presence. It was coming towards the mountain.
"...Shit, here it comes." Lionel said, holding the clarinet very tightly.
The Nanabi was seen flying towards the mountain before it landed on the ground, right in front of Lionel.
Lionel was sweating bullets.
"...Um...hi." Lionel waved.
"...You're not Alyssa. Where is she? And why are you holding her clarinet!?" The Nanabi asked, it's voice sounding female.
"...Well, I guess she left it for me so then I can...tame you I guess." Lionel said.
"I want to hear her playing the clarinet, not you! Get out before I eat you alive!" The Nanabi roared
Lionel backed away, looking ready to run, till he realized that if he does, he loses the challenge. He had no choice but to shrug off Nibi's threat and play the clarinet.
"...S-Sorry...but that's not happening. I'm gonna play this thing wether you like it or not. I'm not gonna lose this challenge cause of your threats." Lionel said.
"...Alright then. Play my favorite song then." Nanabi said.
Lionel grabbed the paper with the song notes and puts it on the ground.
He pulled out the clarinet and began playing the song, while looking at the paper.
So far, it seemed to work as the Nanabi listened to the song, looking a bit more calm.
With Kimura
Kimura was currently shivering as she appeared to be in a area covered in ice as she slowly walked into the temple of the Nibi.
"...J-Jesus Christ, what is this, Universe 10 again?" Kimura asked.
The temple's inside was made out of ice of course.
There din't appear to be any door's, only a hole that Kimura would need to jump in.
There was a image of the Nibi, being surrounded by flames.
Kimura had no idea what that meant so she went to the hole and jumped in.
She landed on some ice and began sliding down to wherever she'll end up.
Kimura was launched through another hole and landed on a ice floor, right on her butt.
Kimura got up...and found herself right in front of the Nibi, growling at her.
"...An intruder! What do you have to say for yourself?" The Nibi asked, also having a female voice.
"...If Okail saw you right now, she would hug the shit out of you." Kimura said.
The Nibi put it's foot down in response as she snarled at Kimura.
The beast opened her mouth...and sneezed in Kimura's face.
"...Rude." Kimura said, wiping the beast's spat with her jacket's sleeve.
"I'm just...I'm just a little *ACHOO!*...sick that's all." The Nibi said.
"...Do you have a cold? From what" Kimura asked.
"Look around you." Nibi said, gesturing at the entire area made entirely out of ice.
"...Oh, I see...well, I would be pissed too if I was a gigantic fire cat and stuck in a frozen prison." Kimura said
"...I hate the cold...I want to be somewhere more warmer and hot." The Nibi said.
"...You ain't gonna find any place warmer. Outside the temple is more ice." Kimura said.
"That's just great...leave me, I have a lot of moaning to do." Nibi said.
"...I could help you warm this place up." Kimura said.
"How?" Nibi asked.
Kimura opened her jacket, picked up a vial. She emptied whatever substance it contained and placed it on the floor.
She brought out two chemicals and began pouring them into the vial before grabbing a few more, mixing them with whatever she put in the vial.
The Nibi simply sat down, watching Kimura doing whatever she was planning.
With Sigmund.
He was on a desert like area.
He walked into the temple and looked around for anything useful.
Sigmund spotted a image of the Ichibi, who was sitting on it's bed...and some humans were seeing, being squished by it.
"...Well, this is useless." Sigmund sighed.
Sigmund walked out of the temple and was in another desert area.
He spotted the Ichibi from the distance, drinking from a large barrel of water.
Sigmund began walking towards the beast with his hands in his pockets.
The Ichibi started drinking and let's out a loud burp.
"You." Sigmund said.
The Ichibi, hearing Sigmund's voice, looked around, not being able to spot him.
"Look down, idiot." Sigmund said.
Ichibi then looked down and lowered it's head, identifying Sigmund.
"...Hm, no eyebrows...weird fingers...and stupid clothes...you are one goofy looking human." Ichibi said.
"And you are quite a stupid creature. So, what do I have to do to get your respect so I can be done with this circus?" Sigmund asked.
"You want my respect? Alright then. Go away, Shoo." Ichibi said.
"...That din't sound genuine." Sigmund said.
"Like I care. Get lost, little roachy." Ichibi said.
"I would be more nicer if I were you. My IQ level is higher than your's." Sigmund said.
"You know what else is higher than you? My ass. On your face." Ichibi said.
Sigmund's mouth twitched a bit in response.
"You want my respect? Alright." Ichibi said.
Ichibi then dumped the remaining water on Sigmund, getting him wet.
Sigmund did not appreciate that, one bit.
"Now, be a good human and fetch me another barrel. Be quick about it." Ichibi said, dropping the barrel.
"...That's not happening. What's gonna happen is you apologizing to me before 5 seconds pass." Sigmund said.
"Oh? What's gonna happen if I don't apologise after 5 seconds?" Ichibi asked.
"...You'll see." Sigmund smile, his eyes glowing slightly.
With Sothot.
He was currently in Hachibi's temple, looking at the image of an avocado on the wall.
He did not understand the meaning of that.
"...Well, I can't figure this out. I've been loking at this image for half an hour and I haven't accomplished anything yet. Time to move on." Sothot said.
There were statue heads of the Hachibi placed on the left and right walls, with candles placed in their mouth's as Sothot walked past them and walked out of the temple.
He was now on a abandoned wasteland, looking around.
"...Where could the Beast be at right now?" Sothot asked.
A large thumb poke'd Sothot's shoulder.
Sothot turned around and his eyes widened.
The Hachibi was right behind him and it was looking down on Sothot.
It lowered it's head, staring at Sothot.
"...Hey." The Hachibi said.
"...Um, hello...Are you the Tailed Beast?" Sothot asked.
"Do you see anyone else here being as large as me, with 4 horns and 8 tentacle tails around here?" Hachibi asked.
"No." Sothot said.
"Then he is standing right in front of you. I'm Hachibi. Nice to meet ya." Hachibi said.
"...Nice to meet you too...you're quite benevolent...for a large creature." Aeon said.
"Well, that's all thanks to my buddy, Eduard. I was to be a wild beast back in the day, but once I met the guy, he and I became friends over the years. He is a guardian." Hachibi said.
"Oh, I see. That's nice to hear." Sothot said.
"And he also told me that some guardian hosting a Omnipotent show that me and my siblings will be visited by some Omnis to gain our respect. And it appears you came here to get my respect." Hachibi said.
"That's correct." Sothot said.
"Alright...Can't think of anything for you to do in order to impress so...how about a riddle?" Hachibi asked.
"...Sure." Sothot shrugged.
"Name a fruit...that I hate the most." Hachibi said.
"...That's the riddle?" Sothot asked.
"Yup." Hachibi said.
"...And if I answer it correct, I win?" Sothot asked.
"Yup." Hachibi said.
"...Alright...um, pineapple?" Sothot guessed.
"Nope." Hachibi said.
"...Watermelon?" Sothot asked.
"Nah." Hachibi said.
"Apple?" Sothot asked.
"You have 10 more tries." Hachibi said.
"...Quite difficult for such a simple riddle." Sothot grimaced.
With Iknaa
She was in the Rokubi's temple, looking at a image of the Rokubi laying on some grass, with it's head on a pillow. It appeared to be sleeping.
"...Hm...I suppose I have to put it to sleep, somehow." Iknaa said.
Iknaa looked around...and the entire temple was covered in some gross white substance and no door, there was a blue transparent pillar in the middle of the room however.
"...Bleugh." Iknaa recoiled in disgust before she went into the blue pillar and vanished.
She reappeared outside a cave.
Iknaa entered inside, figuring that the Rokubi is in here.
Then she stepped on some gross white substance, indicating that the creature does live here.
Iknaa din't look pleased.
"...Such a disgusting pile of-"
A large yawn was heard, as the cave was suddenly shaking. The sounds of large footsteps coming towards Iknaa.
A massive being walked out of the darkness, revealing to be Rokubi as it stopped in front of Iknaa, the substance dripping out of it's mouth and landing in her hair, much to her annoyance.
The Rokubi's head lowered down, staring at Iknaa with it's eyes.
"...You're not the guy who is supposed to make me fall asleep...why did you wake me up?" Rokubi asked.
"...I'm here...to tame you and gain your respect." Iknaa said, resisting the urge of ripping the oxygen out of it's smelly mouth.
"...Respect?...What's that?" Rokubi asked, sounding pretty bored.
"...It means the appreciation that you have for a person for doing something or...appreciating the person in general." Iknaa explained.
"...Well...you could help me fall back to sleep after you woke me up so." Rokubi said.
"Fine. How do I do that?" Iknaa asked.
"The grass that I used to sleep on aren't good anymore. Fetch me a new bed." Rokubi said.
"...If I do that...will I get your respect?" Iknaa asked.
"Sure, whatever." Rokubi said.
Iknaa rolled her eyes before she walked out of the cave.
She began ripping the grass outside the cave while muttering some Egyptian curse words at the same time.
Eventually, she returned and placed all the grass on the Rokubi's sleeping place.
She turned to the Tailed Beast.
"There. Now you have a new bed to sleep on." Iknaa said.
The Rokubi stared at it's new bed before it collapsed on it, right on it's back.
"...I guess it's okay." Rokubi shrugged.
"...So..did I succeed?" Iknaa asked.
"...I can't fall asleep...tell me a story." Rokubi said.
"...Okay. Once upon a time, there was a large annoying slug who went sleep because otherwise, the Pharaoh's councellor would of erased it's oxygen entirely and it ended with a Happily Ever After. The End." Iknaa smiled.
"...That sounds lame...tell me a new one." Rokubi said.
Iknaa closed her, inhaling as she puts her fingers on her nose, trying not to lose her composure before she remembered a story about a pharaoh from Universe 3 that her father told her about once.
Iknaa sat on her knee's and looked at Rokubi.
"...Alright. Once upon a time, there was a pharaoh called Carvus..." Iknaa said.
With Milana
She was now sitting on the ground, just chatting with the Kyuubi.
"And so, if it wasn't for the humans to save us from the erasure wave, we would be...well, nonexistent." Milana said.
"Hmph. Maybe." Kyuubi said.
"...So, with that said. Are you convinced?" Milana asked.
"...I still think humans are scum. I will never be at peace as long as they exist." Kyuubi said.
Milana sighed.
"Lord Kyuubi, just what do you want me to say? What will it take for me to convince you to earn your respect?" Milana asked.
"What would it take? How about take me to a place far away from humans entirely. That would be nice. A place where no one can control me." Kyuubi said.
Milana puts her hand on her chin, thinking before looking at the Kyuubi.
"...How about Universe 12? I told you that there are no humans in it so you could stay with us. It is human free." Milana said.
Kyuubi then looked at Milana.
"...Is that so?" Kyuubi asked.
"Yes. You can be free there and maybe make some new friends." Milana said.
"...Then take me there." Kyuubi said.
"...I can't right now. As long as I'm in the competition and I'll probably need to talk to the guardian in charge of this place first. But I will bring you to Universe 12 one day." Milana said.
The Kyuubi lowered it's head, intently staring at Milana
"...You promise?" Kyuubi asked.
"...I promise." Milana said.
"...Hm...I'll be keeping that in mind. You better fulfill your end of the bargain or else there will be major consequences." Kyuubi said.
Kyuubi got up and began walking back into the waterfall.
"Uh, wait! Did I get your respect or not?" Milana asked.
"Considering that I din't attack you, you might aswell consider it a victory." Kyuubi said, before it went into the waterfall.
Milana got up and looked at the waterfall.
"...I'll see you again one day soon...Lord Kyuubi." Milana said.
Milana then looked around.
"Aeon. Have I won the challenge?" Milana asked out loud.
"Yes, you did. Congratulations, you are the first one to earn a Tailed Beast's respect and you are safe." Aeon's voice said.
Milana smiled before a portal appeared and she walked through it.
It cuts back to Kimura
Kimura was now holding a vial full of foamy substance made out of the mixed chemicals.
"...Alright...let's warm this shit up." Kimura said.
She poured a bit of the substance on the ice...and it bursted into flames.
"Sweet!" Kimura smiled.
Kimura then began spraying the entire area with the substance and the entire ice area went ablaze.
The flames on Nibi increased as a result.
"Aaah, it feels like Heeeaveeen." Nibi said, enjoying the area now.
"Yup." Kimura said, who was standing far from the fire as she looked at the entire place now.
"...Seeing this place being lit on fire...is honestly how I dreamed of doing this to Universe 1. Setting it and all the assholes in it on fire...of course I wouldn't do that in real life, just saying." Kimura said.
"Well, thanks either way. You're not bad for a human." Nibi said.
"And you're pretty nice...for a large fire cat." Kimura said.
"You have earned my respect. Now leave." Nibi said.
Kimura nodded as she left the now fiery area.
A portal that takes her to the ship opened and she went inside it before it closed.
With Naan.
Naan and her duplicates were still standing in front of the Gobi, looking nervous.
Gobi began sniffing the fruits they were holding.
"...Oh...you want these?" Naan guessed, showing him the fruits.
The Gobi looked at the fruit in the real Naan's hand, which looked more fresh.
The Gobi picked up the fruit with one of it's tails and dropped it in it's mouth, gulping it.
The horse Beast then let's out a burp before it stared back at Naan.
Naan's reflections vanished and Naan continued looking at the Beast, thinking she might of angered it.
The Gobi lowered it's head right next to Naan and waited for something.
"...You want me...to pet you?" Naan asked.
The Gobi nodded.
"...Okay." Naan said.
Naan began petting the Gobi's head.
"...You...you're not scary at all, are you...you don't look that dangerous as the others said." Naan said.
The Gobi then frowned before it rased it's head and looked at a spot that wasn't covered by flowers.
Naan turned and looked at the spot...there was a woman wearing a white robe, with short green hair, laying on the ground with her eyes closed.
"...Oh...that...was the person who used to look after you?" Naan asked.
The Gobi nodded.
"...Did someone kill her?" Naan asked.
The Gobi shook it's head off.
"...Was she sick?" Naan asked.
The Gobi nodded.
"...I'm sorry." Naan said, before she remembered that time when she used to be deadly sick thanks to Inun. She couldn't imagine what would of happened if she din't get treated and how Dilon and Sanar would of reacted.
She turned to Gobi.
"...I'm sure someone will show up here to take care of you for her...maybe..." Naan said.
The Gobi was simply silent.
"...I guess I earned your respect since you din't attack me." Naan said.
The Gobi nodded at Naan.
A portal opened, leading back to Aeon's ship.
Naan looked at the portal before looking at Gobi.
"...Well...I have to go now...but...maybe I'll come back here one day...just...stay safe...okay?" Naan asked.
The Gobi looked sad, but nodded.
Naan waved at the Gobi and went into the portal before it closed.
The Gobi frowned as it went towards the dead woman and sat next to her, resting it's head against her body.
Back to Iknaa
"And then both Slyfer and Solice fought against each other. When it looked like Slyfer would lose, Carvus-......" Iknaa stopped.
The Rokubi has fallen asleep as she was narrating the story.
Iknaa got up, looking at the creature in annoyance.
"...Did I win or not?" Iknaa asked.
"Yes." Aeon's voice said.
"...Good." Iknaa said, as she walked out of the cave.
With Amij
The Sanbi was still underwater and Amij's pants stuck to one of it's tails.
Amij was gonna run out of breath soon and so he concentrated before he looked at the Sanbi.
The Sanbi suddenly started to float before it was launched out of the water and was flipped backwards.
Amij was wet and a part of his pants ripped when he deattached himself from it's tail.
Amij flew above the Sanbi before he launched it back in the ocean while it was still upside down.
He landed on the beast's belly and took a long deep breath.
The Sanbi's head rised from the water, looking at Amij.
"...What the fuck, man!?" The Sanbi asked.
"...You can talk?" Amij asked.
"Of course I can talk! Why the hell did you do that for? I could of hit my head against that sharp rock!" Sanbi yelled.
"You tried to hit me with your tail and almost drowned me!" Amij yelled.
"You were the one yelling and woke up me. You don't think anyone would be grumpy after that?" Sanbi asked.
"...Well, shit, sorry. But I came here to fulfill. I need to get your respect by...riding you I guess." Amij shrugged.
"If it will get you off my back and let me go back to sleep, fine. Just get off my belly so then I can turn around." Sanbi said.
Amij nodded as he flew up.
The Sanbi jumped and was now back to the way it was.
Amij landed on it's back as the Sanbi began swimming through the water for a few minutes.
It made it back to the beach.
"There, I let you stay on my back while I was swimming. Are you happy now? Can I go back to sleep?" Sanbi asked.
"Sure. Thanks a lot, man." Amij waved.
"Hmph. Humans. So inconsiderate." Sanbi said, before it went back to sleep in the ocean.
"Alright-o. Another challenge won by the hero himself!" Amij said, with his hands on his hips.
With Lionel
He was still playing the clarinet while looking at the Song notes.
The Nanabi was enjoying the tune so far.
Lionel closed his eyes, sighing in relief before he continued playing...and his eyes looked at a row of song numbers before the one's he should of played and he played that row instead.
That clearly irritated Nanabi.
"Ah, you missed a row! The song needs to be perfect! Now it's ruined! You are nothing like Alyssa! GET OUT!" Nanabi yelled.
"Wait, wait, I can!-" Lionel said
The Nanabi shot fire out of it's mouth.
"GIAH!" Lionel shouted, dropping the clarinet and the song paper, hiding behind a giant rock.
"Oh shit, oh shit, oh shit!" Lionel said.
The Nanabi roared.
Back with Sothot.
"Banana?" Sothot asked.
"Nope." Hachibi said.
"Mango?" Sothot guessed.
"You have 5 more tries and you're out." Hachibi said.
"...Ugh." Sothot said.
With Ceygas.
She was on top of a tree, throwing lightning bolts at the Yonbi.
The lightning bolts were sticking out of the Yonbi as it was charing at Ceygas, ripping the tree out of the ground and launching it at the sky.
Ceygas jumped out of the tree before shooting a pillar of lightning out of the sky, engulfing Yonbi in it.
Yonbi broke out of the pillar and grabbed Ceygas as she descended down before smacking her against the ground a few times and dropped her on the ground.
It beats it's chest off, roaring in victory.
Ceygas got up. Her hair was messed up and looked clearly pissed.
"...Okay, you had your fun. Now let's end this." Ceygas said.
Ceygas summoned her Susanoo, a Figure wearing a Celestial Garb, made out of electricity.
The Yonbi charged at the Susanoo and when it's fist came in contact with it's face, the Yonbi got shocked and knocked on the ground.
When it got up, the Susanoo began pounding it's face in with it's fists, shocking the large Monkey and causing a lot of pain.
The Susanoo then grabbed the Yonbi and smashed it against the ground before lifting it up...and basically did the Bane move, by bracking his back with it's knee while electrocuting it at the same time.
Yonbi got dropped on the ground, looking defeated.
"...A.Alright...Y.You...W.Won...You...clearly...are strong..." Yonbi said, accepting it's defeat.
The Susanoo then climbed on the Yonbi, folding it's arms.
"Yup." Ceygas smiled.
With Sigmund.
...The Ichibi was currently curled up in a ball, sucking it's thumb repeateadly as Sigmund was now sitting on it's head.
"...So, will you respect me now? Or do we have to repeat this again?" Sigmund asked
"N-No, no, please! Have mercy!" Ichibi said.
"Then say it." Sigmund said.
"...I...I respect you." Ichibi whimpered.
"That's what I like to hear." Sigmund smiled.
Sigmund jumped off it's head and walked away
The Ichibi then got up and ran off crying.
Whatever happened was probably best to be left unknown.
With Sothot.
"Is it Orange?" Sothot asked.
"Nope. You have just one more try. It's now or never, bro." Hachibi said
"How the blasted hell am I supposed to know the answer to such a dumb...wait." Sothot said.
He remembered the image with the Avocado on the wall.
"...Is it the Avocado?" Sothot asked.
"Yup. Congrats, you win." Hachibi said.
"...Wow...that was...wow." Sothot said, taken back by this.
"Yup. I just don't like Avocado." Hachibi said.
"...I see...so, did I win your respect?" Sothot asked.
"Here." Hachibi asked, raising it's fist and lowered it to Sothot's level. He was waiting for him to bump fists with him.
Sothot raised an eyebrow but he bumped fists with the beast.
"Alright, you earned my respect. You can go." Hachibi said.
"....Very well then. It was...quite an interesting meeting." Sothot said, turning around and leaving.
Back to Lionel.
He managed to hide his own sense so then Nanabi would have a hard time trying to find him.
The Nanabi was currently covering the mountain with flames, looking enraged.
"...Fuck, fuck...I'm...I'm so dead...really, really dead." Lionel said, holding his sword, shaking in fear.
'Um, me...I...do not think that's...a good idea. I'm not exactly the strongest and I would just make things...awkward to say the least'
'Dude, we kinda redeemed ourselves for that by helping out Universe 10 with that Kacaj asshole. Everything is cool now. Don't worry about the others giving you shit'
'But even so, bad reputation shouldn't distract you from your current goal, which is to win the competition.'
'Anyone who participated in saving us is a hero. And you, are a hero'
Lionel then stopped shaking, holding his sword very tight, having a determined look on his face.
"...They're right...I...can't let what everyone else said about us matter anymore...I...I'm...I'm Lionel, the Omnipotent of Sense!" Lionel declared.
Lionel then jumped from his hiding place and stabbed the Nanabi in one of it's tails, knowing that it's one of it's weak spots.
The Nanabi roared in pain as Lionel landed on the ground
Lionel then hid his sense again to avoid getting detected by the Nanabi and then began messing with it's senses, to confuse it's sense of direction.
He then jumped and stabbed the Nanabi it's two tails.
Nanabi shot fire at Lionel.
Lionel deflected the fire with his sword before he stabbed Nanabi's tails repeteadly.
The Nanabi roared in pain before it collapsed on the ground.
The stabs din't kill it but it was now unconscious.
Lionel walked over to the Nanabi, looking at it.
"...I'm...no longer afraid...anymore." Lionel said.
"CLOVER!" A female voice shouted.
Lionel tensed as he turned and saw a brown skinned girl with fluffy black hair and wearing a purple robe, looking shocked.
She pushed Lionel out of the way and began healing Nanabi.
"It's okay, I'm here!" The female said.
"...Um...who are you?" Lionel asked.
"I'm the guardian who is supposed to watch over the Nanabi, whose's name is Clover." The female said.
"Clover?" Lionel asked.
"I gave her that name!" The female responded.
"Oh...so, you're Alyssa?" Lionel asked.
"Yes! And you attacked Clover." Alyssa said.
"She attacked me first!" Lionel said.
"Because you messed up the song! If it's not correct, then Clover will freak out of course." Alyssa said.
"What was I supposed to do then?" Lionel asked.
"Go back in the temple, wait 5 minutes and come back to do it again. She would of calmed down. You're lucky she is not dead." Alyssa said.
"...Oh...Craaaaap." Lionel said, realizing what this means since he did not tame the beast or earned it's respect.
A few minutes later.
It cuts to Aeon's ship.
Lionel had his luggage with him, standing in front of a portal that will take him to Universe 9 and everyone was standing in front of him.
"...Well, I got my pride back...only to cost me the challenge...yeah." Lionel sighed.
"Well, you don't give a shit about what the others have to say about you and your friends so...that's good?" Ceygas guessed.
"...I guess so." Lionel shrugged.
Iknaa walked up to him, handing him over some Universe 6 scrolls.
"I hope we get to see each other again, one day." Iknaa said.
"...I hope so too. I'll give you a book about Universe 9 when I get the chance." Lionel said.
"Well, I'll be waiting then." Iknaa smiled.
Lionel smiled before he turned to everyone else and waved at them before he looked at the portal, took a deep breath and walked in it before it closed.
"And that concludes today's challenge. A little hint about next time's challenge, I suggest you all be ready to go all out. That's all I have to say. Good night." Aeon said, as he and Natasha walked out.
"...Go all out?" Amij asked.
"...Maybe we have to fight someone." Ceygas shrugged as she left the area.
Naan saw Sigmund's eyes directed at Sothot as he walked away before Sigmund left aswell.
Naan went to Amij, grabbing him by his sleeve.
"...I saw Sigmund looking at Sothot for some reason." Naan said.
"...Really?...Maybe he gave him the dirty look?" Amij guessed.
"I unno...maybe he considers Sothot a threat?" Naan guessed.
"I guess...maybe we should tell Sothot to be aware if Sigmund pulls something on him." Amij said.
Naan nodded.
A few minutes, in the hotel.
Amij was knocking on Sothot's door.
"Hey, Sothot, you there?" Amij asked.
"...Maybe he is not there?" Naan asked.
Amij tried knocking again but he din't answer.
He tried opening the door and thankfully, it was unlocked.
Amij and Naan entered in, looking around.
There were some books laying on Sothot's bed, featuring stories.
Naan picked up one book, looking at the title.
"...He sure likes reading books." Naan said.
"Guess this is what he does in his spare time. Reading." Amij said.
Naan shrugged as she puts the book aside and saw a photo laying on the desk.
Naan picked up the photo and looked at it.
It featured a more younger Sothot, next to a green skinned woman with long black hair, wearing a black dress.
"...Who's this?" Naan asked.
Amij looked at the photo.
"Sothot's girlfriend...or wife, maybe?" Amij guessed.
"What do you two think you are doing?" A voice asked.
Their eyes widened and turned to see Sothot, his arms folded and looked upset.
The photo that was in Naan's hand suddenly vanished as it was now in Sothot's hand.
He looked at the photo before looking at the two young ones.
"Where did you find it?" Sothot asked.
"It was on your desk." Amij said.
"You two couldn't of bothered waiting outside till I arrived if you wanted to see me so badly for some reason!?" Sothot asked, looking angry.
"Uh, I, I, I, I'm sorry, we-" Naan said.
"We what?" Sothot asked.
"We just wanted to warn you about Sigmund. I think he might plan on getting you out, dude." Amij said.
"...That's all? Really? I would be more worried about entering in a person's room without his permission and messing with his stuff than worry about some sick individual." Sothot said, as he walked past Amij and Naan, putting the photo back to it's place.
"...Who is that...woman?" Naan asked.
"...Nobody...that's all you need to know...now...just go." Sothot sighed.
"...If she was a nobody, then she wouldn't be in the photo with you, now would she? Why aren't you being clean with us?" Amij asked.
Sothot turned to the two, his eyes glowing yellow and green.
"I SAID GO!" Sothot yelled.
Suddenly, a flash of light happened...and now the entire room was now in 3D and so were Sothot, Amij and Naan. They looked like characters of a video game in a cutscene.
"...What the heck?" Amij asked.
"...I feel weird." Naan said.
"Oi, who used their Omnipotent power to turn me into PlayStation 1 Graphic?" Ceygas's voice loudly asked.
"...Ugh, no this again." Sothot sighed.
He snapped his finger and everything was now back to the way it was.
"...Sorry about that. This always happens every time anger get's the best of me. It messes with my Reality element...just go." Sothot said.
"...Yeah...let's go, Naan." Amij said, walking out of the room.
Naan followed, now more confused about what the heck was that than being scared.
Sothot sat on his bed, looking at the floor before he looked at the photo.
"...If only you accepted me the way I was...none of this shit would of happened." Sothot said, glaring at the photo.
Meanwhile.
Sigmund had a empty glass placed on the wall, using it to hear everything in Sothot's room while Kimura was sitting on her bed, with her legs folded and her arms placed around her legs.
"...It appears he doesn't consider me a threat. That's good. So far so good." Sigmund said.
Sigmund then turned to Kimura who looked the other way around.
"...You did the smart move by having the note with the beast with 7 tails stick out of the box. With the Omnipotent of Senses out, no one will be able to help out Sothot when the time comes." Sigmund said.
"Whatever." Kimura said.
"...Guess our little alliance might work out after all. Though, if we do end up in the finale together...you have to lose against me. Got it?" Sigmund asked.
Kimura shrugged, not giving him an answer.
"...I'll take it as a yes." Sigmund said, before he walked out of the room and closed the door. He first made sure that no one saw him coming out of Kimura's left and he left...a room's door opened and Ceygas slowly peered out of her room, glaring at Sigmund before looking at Kimura's door.
Meanwhile, in Universe 9.
It cuts to the Other's cave, where Hemera, Providentia's Other, was resting with the crest of Structure in her hands.
Suddenly, Hemera sensed something...very familiar...and very bad.
"...Oh...You gotta be kidding me! THAT GUY AGAIN!?" Hemera asked.
It cuts to Lionel, who was standing outside the Omnipotent castle with the luggage in his hand.
"...Home sweet home." Lionel sighed.
He walked towards the castle...and he stopped when he sensed something.
"...What's...that I'm feeling right now...I sense...Minkah...and...someone...that I never sensed before...is here too...I can sense them...from...the graves of our friends!" Lionel realized.
He looked at the sky, now covered in dark clouds.
"...Shit!" Lionel said, before he ran off.
Xuko and Minkah were in front of the graves of Veridas, Rita, Leonard, Lea-Maria and Lemures as Xuko was holding two new skulls in his hands.
"I managed to get the essence of the Omnipotents of Sight and Fusion. Shame I couldn't find the one with the Invulnerability ability, but once I require the Omnipotent with Clairvoyance, it will be easy finding their bodies. Though, it would more easier if all of them were buried in the same place instead of travelling from one place to another. Now then, resurrect the Omnipotents of Order, Glass and Mentality. In that 'Order'." Xuko said, making a pun.
Minkah raised her arms and three pillars hit Leonard, Lemures and Lea-Maria's graves.
"YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOU!" A voice shouted.
"Hm?" Xuko asked, turning around.
He saw Hemera, flying in the air.
"...Oh, it's you. Still alive, I see." Xuko sighed.
Hemera descended down, ready to stab Xuko with her talons.
Xuko simply aimed his hand and blasted Hemera away with a beam of fire.
Minkah managed to resurrect Leonard and Lemures and the dirt began covering Lea-Maria's soul.
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING!?" Lionel asked, showing up at the cemetery
"Tch, perfect timing." Xuko frowned.
He turned to Minkah and had her stop.
Lea-Maria's soul vanished, returning back to the afterlife she was summoned from.
He pulled out two skulls and sucked Leonard and Lemures in them.
"We'll get the Omnipotents of Mentality and Invulnerability later. For now, we retreat into the next world." Xuko said.
Xuko and Minkah vanished.
"AND STAY GONE!" Hemera roared before she flew away.
Lionel just stood there, looking horrified.
"...Shit." Lionel said.

CHAPTER 5 CLASH OF THE CHAMPIONS
The 8 remaining Omnipotents were currently in the restaurant, eating.
Amij and Naan were sitting at a table next to each other, eating, while their eyes were directed at Sigmund
Sigmund's eyes were directed at Ceygas's who's eyes were directed at Kimura
Sothot's eyes were directed at Amij and Naan for what happened yesterday.
Kimura's glare was directed at everyone
"...What's with everyone giving each other funny looks?" Iknaa asked, who din't set her eyes on anyone
"I would assume it's for tension." Milana guessed.
"Yeah, that would be it." Ceygas said.
"Well, I suggest you save it for the challenge. The harsh glares are ruining the atmosphere...and I don't want this...'coffee' to blow up in my face." Iknaa said.
"Whatever." Kimura said, turning her expression away to somewhere else.
Amij looked at Naan.
"...So...whatever happens in the next challenge, We have to knock out Sigmund as best as we can." Amij said.
"...How do we do that?" Naan asked.
"Aeon said that we will have to go all out in the next challenge...maybe it's sort of a fighting challenge?" Amij guessed.
"Maybe...if it is...then I won't lose this time." Naan said.
"I'm sure you won't." Amij said.
Naan smiled in response.
Sigmund looked at Amij and Naan before looking at Kimura.
Kimura simply looked at Sigmund for a second before looking the other way around, not realizing her look being caught by Ceygas.
Aeon and Natasha entered in the restaurant
"Hello, everyone. Hope you are all ready for this next challenge." Aeon said.
"The way you talk about it, it sounds like a tough one." Iknaa said.
"It depends on whoever your opponent will be. Today's challenge will take place in Universe 5." Aeon said.
"Hm, why would we go to that useless Universe?" Sigmund asked.
"...You are saying that because the Universe doesn't have any Omnipotents, don't you?" Ceygas asked.
"That, and the weak individuals who live in it." Sigmund said.
"...Well, you better hope none of us will tell them what you said about their Universe." Milana said.
"...I will." Amij said.
Sigmund's head turned to Amij, giving him an ominous look.
"...Or maybe not." Amij said.
"Either way, the challenge in Universe 5 will be a fighting challenge, in which champions from other Universes will participate in aswell." Aeon said.
"...I assume we will have to fight these 'champions'?" Sothot asked.
"Precisely. Each one will fight a champion at a time. If one gets knocked out, he or she is eliminated but if two or three lose aswell, we will decide the elimination through a tie challenge." Aeon said.
"Hm, I see." Iknaa said, getting up.
"Then let's not waste any time then." Kimura said, getting up aswell.
"Sweet, we're gonna meet other heroes from other Universes!" Amij grinned.
"...That's nice." Naan shrugged.
"Alright, everyone, follow me." Aeon said.
Everyone followed Aeon and Natasha.
They went to stage 1 and a portal to Universe 5 was open. A coliseum could be seen from the portal.
"...What is that building, may I ask?" Iknaa asked.
"It's a coliseum. Universe 5 is heavily based on Greek mythology. Gladiators used to fight in coliseums till there was only one left. This coliseum could of been a fighting area for the last Tournament but unfortunately, the only Omnipotent alive was Demeter and she is gone aswell." Natasha said.
"Hm, interesting. Certainly reminds me of the games the Pharaoh would have me arrange where people beat each other up for his amusement." Iknaa said.
"...They don't kill each other at the end, do they?" Ceygas asked.
"No, of course not. Do you take him for a monster?" Iknaa asked.
"...Well, he was a prick in the first Tourney, so." Ceygas shrugged.
"Can we just go, already?" Kimura asked.
Aeon nodded as he and Natasha walked through the portal first.
The other Omnipotents followed aswell.
They were in Universe 5, in front of the coliseum's gate.
"...Are you gonna open the gate or will someone else open it?" Milana asked.
The gate opened on it's own.
"It appears you answered your own question there." Sigmund said, as he walked in.
"Hmph. Smartass." Milana said, entering in aswell.
Everyone else entered in.
It looked like an average coliseum, except there was a match ring in the middle of the place and Chetyra, Milaya and Khrabry were there, sitting on the spectator seats. Probably to watch the matches.
Naan turned to the three kids.
"...I think I saw them before....in that large city ship thingy." Naan said.
"It's those kids who are protecting Demeter and the Omnipotent's graves." Ceygas said.
"Shouldn't they be in school?" Sigmund asked.
"Shouldn't you be in a lab and torture aliens like the sadistic crap head that you are?" Chetyra asked.
"...Touche." Sigmund coinceded.
"...So, where are the Champions?" Sothot asked.
"They're coming now." Aeon said.
The gate on the other side of the Coliseum opened and about 8 people walked in. Some were familiar while others weren't.
First was Jasmine from Universe 1. She waved at Kimura and glared at Sigmund.
Kimura waved back and Sigmund simply stared, probably wondering why she is even here.
Next was the blonde woman with the eyepatch covering her right eye, samurai armor and jacket hanging off her shoulder from Universe 2 who participated in the fight against the Royal Guard's army.
Next was a blue skinned bald alien, with pitch black eyes, wearing a white robe without shoes and was floating instead of standing.
Next was a teenage girl wearing a high school uniform, black hair with two massive blue ponytails sticking out of her head with red eyes.
Next was a...pale looking girl with with red eyes, purple shoulder length hair with five short braided ponytails, wearing a black shirt with a devil skull on it, torn jeans...and a devil-ish tail that she had a hard time trying to conceal and wasn't working
Next was Konan, the leader of the tribe from Universe 10.
Next was Gustavo, the former captain of the Society of Goodness from Universe 11.
And last one was a purple skinned bunny it seemed, judging by the ears and bucktooth, wearing a red tanktop with black shorts and had some small muscles on him.
"....These guys are champions?" Ceygas asked, unimpressed.
"Yup. Let me introduce them." Aeon said.
"Jasmine, a Guardian from Universe 1 who saved a group of aliens from a lab and has been keeping them safe ever since while trying to fight her Universe's corruption at the same time." Aeon said.
"Don't encourage her silliness." Sigmund commented from the sidelines.
"Next is Izanami, the current general from Universe 2, who is a descendant from the Omnipotent of Environment's family, Ceres. She is the new head of her Universe's Elite Guard. She's been defending her people from threats for many years." It panned to the blonde woman
"Next is Angus. An alien from a powerful race of Psychics from Universe 4 known as the Ardites, they live on planet Terronda. He saved his planet and people from being wiped out by a meteor shower" Aeon said, panning to the blue alien.
"...Hm, never met an Ardite before." Sigmund said, sounding interested.
Angus turned to Sigmund, looking at him.
Sigmund simply stared back.
"Anyway, next is Ashley Lester-Vanderhook. Daughter of the Omnipotents of Rage and Love, Gevnik and Mika. She is a hero just like Amij as she spent months trying to defeat a organization from Universe known as F." Aeon said.
"...Those two had a kid?" Ceygas asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Me and my gang had been fighting against Kent's group for quite awhile. We had to fight against several of his goons when we launched an attack on Kacaj Enterprise, only to find him dead in his office, killed by some redhead! We were supposed to be the ones to bring him to justice! Our victory was stolen from us" Ashley said.
Somewhere in Universe 3, Kita sneezed.
"...It's unfortunate to hear that." Iknaa said, blinking.
"But we threw most of his goons into where they belong, so that's good atleast." Ashley shrugged.
"Next is...Eden. She is actually a demon from the demon realm who's family defeated an ancient other known as Xyn in Universe 9 by sealing her away before she could of ended all existence." Aeon said, looking at Eden.
"Heyoooo!" Eden waved at the Omnis.
"...A demon family saved an entire Universe?" Milana asked.
"Honestly, the reason we went after that Xyn thing created by that Ganymede Warlock is because she had Arcana powers like us and my family saw her as a threat. So, we went to Universe 9 to fight that thing and I was like 3 years old or something when I was with them, I don't know. We sealed her up and we got praised by some humans who were nearby and it was actually pretty cool. Also, none of you will believe this, but a few days ago, when me and mom went shopping, I saw the Ganymede guy walking into the Archives place and I was like 'Oh my Satan, mom, it's totally that dead guy who made Xyn!' Before she threatened to throw away the pot that I stole from some humans, thinking that I was high." Eden said.
"....Riiiight." Iknaa said.
"...A teenage demon girl...Superb." Sigmund frowned.
"So yeah, ever since then, I ended up visiting the 9 place mostly to chat with the humans and look at their cool crystals while most of the demons focus way too much on that Universe 3 place mostly cause Horned McDick's son died in that place. BTW, no hard feelings about what the large Dick did in your Universe, right?" Eden asked Natasha.
Natasha simply stared at Eden.
"...Kay!" Eden smiled.
"...Anyway...next is Konan, a warrior from Universe 10 who fought against several beasts and lived to tell the tale. He's been leading a group of people for years." Aeon said.
"...I saw him with Dilon and the other leaders back in the city ship." Naan said.
"Lionel mentioned him after Universe 10." Iknaa said.
Konan nodded in response.
"Next is Gustavo, a member of the Society of Goodness group from Universe 11, who's been defending his Universe from evil Forces and shut down another F group in his Universe." Aeon said, gesturing at Gustavo.
"And finally, Rigby, a warrior from Universe 12 who is the fastest person alive, besides the Omnipotent of Speed, Makur." Aeon said, gesturing at the bunny man.
Rigby waved at Milana and she waved back.
"So, each of us will fight against them?" Amij asked.
"That is correct. The first Omnipotent who will fight will be...Sothot Versus...Ashley. Whoever knocks out the opponents and falls off the ring, wins." Aeon said.
"Hmph. Let's this started then." Sothot said, as he got on the ring.
The Omnipotents and the champions sat on benches.
Ashley got on the ring and smiled at Sothot.
Sothot simply folded his arms, ready for whatever she is planning to do.
"Begin!" Aeon said.
Ashley pulled out a staff with a heart on it.
"Time to show you how Love conquers all!" Ashley said.
Ashley began swinging her staff around before aiming it at the sky.
A bunch of hears began floating around Ashley as she started to glow.
Suddenly, a rock that appeared out of nowhere smacked her in the head, interrupting whatever she was doing, knocking her on match floor.
"...OW!" Ashley said, rubbing her head.
"...Was that supposed to be an attack?" Sothot asked.
"Dude, not cool! You din't let her finish her preparation sequence!" Amij yelled out.
"Preparation?" Sothot asked.
"HEY!" Ashley yelled.
Ashley jumped from the floor and got in Sothot's face.
"You weren't supposed to interrupt the transformation sequence! I was supposed to get into gear and you ruined it!" Ashley yelled.
"...Oh...sorry?" Sothot guessed.
"Ugh, just stay there and wait till I'm finished!" Ashley grumbled, walking back to her spot.
Sothot simply decided to listen to her request and wait.
Ashley coughed.
"Okay, once again...Time to show you how Love conquers all!" Ashley said.
Ashley swinged her staff around again as she aimed it at the sky.
The hearts surrounded Ashley as she began to glow pink.
Her clothes changed into a pink sleeveless armor with a red skirt and pink boots. a tiara with a heart symbol on it appeared on her forehead before opening her glowing eyes and smiled.
"Ashley, the Warrior of Love! Ready for action!" Ashley said, dramatically posing.
"...Did I just walk into a Sailor Moon sequence?" Ceygas asked.
"Yup." Kimura said.
"...Call me when it's my turn." Ceygas said, getting up and leaving.
Ashley aimed her staff at Sothot.
"Alright, fool! I will crush you with the ultimate power of Love!" Ashley said.
"...Crush me?...That sounds interesting...very well, Warrior of Love...Give it your best shot!" Sothot said, sounding quite a bit more serious this time.
Ashley then aimed her staff at Sothot, launching out dozens of hearts, each going towards Sothot.
Some of the hearts that weren't going towards Sothot were floating next to the Omnipotents and champions.
"...What an awful odor." Sigmund said, waving his hand around, clearly not enjoying the stench.
Sothot got hit by three hearts till he warped most of the upcoming hearts away.
"...Where did my hearts go?" Ashley asked.
The hearts then reappeared right behind Ashley.
Ashley jumped as the hearts destroyed the floor she was standing on before she kicked Sothot in the stomach.
It seemed to work...till her kick suddenly phased through Sothot's stomach and she ended up landing on the floor.
"Huh?" Ashley asked.
"My power involves controlling reality. Anything you'll do against me will be turned against you instantly." Sothot said.
"...No way." Ashley said.
"Go ahead and try." Sothot said.
Ashley charged at Sothot, delivering a attack of kicks and punches right at him.
Sothot was dodging most of the attacks.
Ashley then kicked his leg with her staff before punching him in the face.
Suddenly, the ground that Ashley stood on turned into quicksand and her feet was quickly sinking into the sand.
Ashley jumped out of the quicksand immediately before she aimed her stuff and the heart on top of the staff glew, launching out a pink whip that attached itself to Sothot.
Ashley then began waving her staff around, smacking Sothot into some walls and even hitting him against a coliseum seat.
Sothot suddenly vanished.
"What the? Where did he go!?" Ashley asked.
Sothot reappeared behind her
Ashley immediately turned around, attempting to shoot him till the staff appeared in Sothot's hand.
She looked at her hand before glaring at Sothot.
"...I'm guessing that without this toy, you wouldn't be able to win this fight." Sothot said.
"...It's not a toy." Ashley smiled.
The staff in Sothot's began shaking as a pink beam was launched from the heart, hitting Sothot's face, knocking him on the ground.
Ashley picked her staff and launched herself into the sky.
Ashley aimed the staff at Sothot and shot multiple beams from the staff, each of them going very fast towards him.
When Sothot got up, he got hit by a beam, followed up by many more beams.
"Ha, now you're stuck! As long as I keep shooting my beams of Love at you, you won't be able to do anything but surrender!" Ashley smirked.
Sothot after hearing that, stop resisting as he let's the beams hit him.
Suddenly, the upcoming beams were warped out of there.
"...What the?" Ashley asked.
The beams then warped right towards Ashley, as she got hit by the beams instead.
"AAAAAAAAAH!" Ashley yelled in pain.
Ashley, now with smoke coming out of her, descended from the sky and landed outside the arena.
"...Crap." Ashley frowned.
"Ashley is out. Sothot wins the match and is safe!" Aeon declared.
Chetyra and Milaya did what any Roman emperor would do at the end of a match: give a thumbs down. Khrabry, however, raised a thumbs up...before he switched to thumbs down after looking at his friends.
Sothot had a few injured visible on him as he walked off the ring and walked up to Ashley, holding his hand out.
"Need a hand?" Sothot asked.
Ashley, begrudgingly, accepted as she got up.
"...Let's just pretend that this never happened. It wouldn't look good on my hero record." Ashley said.
"If that's what you wish, very well." Sothot shrugged.
"...I admit, you did...good...despite the fact that I was the most strongest one out of the two of us. I admire that." Ashley said, trying to keep her pride intact.
"You fought well aswell. I had fun." Sothot said, shaking her hand.
Ashley nodded before she sat on the bench.
Sothot sat with the other Omnipotents.
"...Thanks for being nice to her and not shattering her pride...her hero job means a lot to her and wants to make her parents proud of her." Amij said.
"If they love her, I'm sure they are proud." Sothot said.
"Next match: Ceygas Versus Izanami." Aeon said.
Ceygas's head peered in the coliseum.
"Oh, it's over? Cool." Ceygas said.
Ceygas got on the ring and waited.
Izanami got on the ring and looked at Ceygas.
Ceygas folded her arms while looking at Izanami.
Izanami tossed the jacket off her and pulled out a pretty large spiky sword, aiming it at Ceygas.
"...Your call." Izanami said.
Ceygas did not look intimidated.
"Begin!" Aeon announced.
Ceygas clicked her fingers and lighting was shot out of the sky, right towards Izanami.
Izanami lifted the sword, using it to protect herself from the lightning and deflected it back at Ceygas, knocking her on the ground.
"...Okay...that was unexpected." Ceygas said.
Ceygas jumped from the floor and kicked Izanami's sword out of her hand, before she tried to shoot her with lightning again.
Izanami dodged quickly before punching Ceygas in the face, grabbed her by the throat and threw her on the floor.
Izanami grabbed her sword before it fell off the ring and charged at Ceygas.
Ceygas got up as her limbs were now charged with electricity.
She lunged at Izanami and attempted to punch her with her fists.
Izanami blocked her attack with her sword, causing a clash that sent both Izanami and Ceygas away from her each other, landing almost out of the ring as they stopped by stomping their foots on the edge of the arena, preventing themselves from falling.
Ceygas and Izanami looked at each other, both determined to defeat the other.
They both launched at each other again but this time, Ceygas ducked Izanami's sword and kicked her in the chin, sending her flying.
Ceygas zapped herself in the sky and shot Izanami with lightning, sending her crashing on the ring
Izanami slowly got up, her armor was a bit dented but she was still able to fight.
A blue aura appeared around Izanami and prepared herself for Ceygas's next move.
Ceygas zapped herself in front of Izanami, ready to punch her.
Izanami avoided the fist and stabbed Ceygas in her shoulder.
"AH!" Ceygas yelled.
Izanami pulled out her sword and stabbed Ceygas again, grabbing her by the face and smashing her against the floor.
Ceygas was actually a bit hurt from the attack before she summoned a lightning bolt and threw it at Izanami
Izanami cuts the bolt in half before she hits the sword against the ground and charged towards Ceygas, while tearing through most of the floor with her sword.
She kicked Ceygas in the face and slashed her with her sword.
Ceygas vanished when she zapped into a cloud in the sky and zapped herself at the edge of the ring.
Ceygas was bleeding slightly and coughed up blood as she looked at Izanami.
"...You're good...but I'm not losing the fight." Ceygas said.
Having an idea, Ceygas launched lightning at Izanami again
Izanami deflected the lightning with her sword but while it was going on, the electricity from the lightning got on the sword and extended to the handle, shocking Izanami.
"AH!" Izanami yelled out.
Ceygas then raised her arms as the clouds gathered in the sky, each of them began shooting lightning, striking Izanami, shocking her even more to the point where she couldn't be able to do anything.
Ceygas began glowing as she puts her hand together, charging up a powerful attack.
She launched a lightning beam at Izanami, sending her flying out of the ring and smashed into the wall.
"...Ugh." Izanami said, as she dropped on the ground.
"Ceygas wins against Izanami. She is safe." Aeon confirmed.
Ceygas walked to Aeon, as she was still bleeding.
He turned to Aeon and began healing her.
Ceygas was fully recovered before she turned to Izanami, wanting to make sure that the attacks din't kill her.
Izanami slowly got up, coughing up smoke and looked at Ceygas.
She bowed to her.
"That was a good match." Izanami said.
"...Okay" Ceygas nodded.
Izanami nodded aswell before she sat back on the bench.
"Next match: Iknaa Versus Rigby." Aeon said.
"Huh. So I'm fighting the human animal then. Alright." Iknaa said, getting up as she walked on the ring.
Rigby was already, folding his arms and looking at Iknaa.
"From what I heard, you're the Omnipotent of Oxygen?" Rigby asked.
"Yes. What of it?" Iknaa asked.
"Nothing. I'm curious how fast you are compared to my speed." Rigby said.
"Begin!" Aeon said.
"...Overconfidence will be your downfall." Iknaa said, as she waved her right arm just a bit.
A sword slipped through her sleeve and Iknaa grabbed it before she charged towards Rigby.
Rigby, with just one step, moved with incredible speed and was standing on the left side of the ring.
Iknaa turned and tried to remove oxygen from his throat as she deeply breathed.
At that moment, Iknaa felt a punch in her stomach as Rigby was now in front of her and ran to the opposite direction.
She puts her hand on her stomach while aiming her sword, waiting for Rigby's next attack.
Rigby moved again, this time smacking the sword out of her hand before kicking her into the ground.
Iknaa slowly got up, a bit of blood on her lip.
"...You really are fast." Iknaa said, wipping the blood with her sleeve.
"Yup. And not just that. See these ears? They help me hear any muscle movements. I can hear anything a person touches, steps or clenches, giving me quite the advantage here." Rigby said.
"....I see...so, any punches or kicks will be useless since you'll hear and instantly know before I can even try." Iknaa said.
"You got that right, Sista." Rigby winked.
"...Then I guess I'm gonna do this then." Iknaa said, as she concentrated and closed her eyes.
When she opened them, they were covered in blue flames as she opened mouth and began shooting blue flames everyone on the ring. With the entire arena covered in flames, Rigby won't be able to run anywhere since he'll be burned to death.
"Your next move." Iknaa said.
"Heh." Rigby smiled.
Rigby just began running around the flames with incredible speed, the speed causing the flames to decrease and vanish.
Rigby then began running around Iknaa while sending multiple punches and kicks.
Iknaa got knocked on the floor, with several bruises on her face but she got up regardless, looking at Rigby who was still running around her.
"...I din't want to do this...but it seems I have no choice." Iknaa said.
Iknaa puts her arms together, her hair starting to float as a large cloud appeared her and a monstrous face. It was her Susanoo.
Rigby stopped running as he looked at the monster.
The Susanoo opened it's mouth, inhaling some of the oxygen in the area but made sure not to take everyone else's oxygen before shooting a blue fire beam at Rigby.
Rigby dodged the fire with his speed and ran to the Susanoo and kicked it in the face.
As a result, Rigby was set on fire and he began screaming.
"What the hell!?" Rigby asked.
The Susanoo opened it's mouth again, beginning to suck most of Rigby's breath.
Rigby's throat suddenly felt sore as he began coughing and landed on his knee's, he was coughing more and more.
The Susanoo continued but Iknaa was making sure to remove half of his oxygen so he won't die.
"Gh...Gh...ah..." Rigby said, before he passed out.
The Susanoo Vanished and Iknaa landed on the floor.
"Iknaa wins the match against Rigby." Aeon said.
Iknaa approached Rigby and restored most of his oxygen before walking out of the ring.
Rigby woke up, looking quite ashamed of his defeat before he walked back to his bench.
"Next match: Amij Versus Eden." Aeon said.
"Oh, yay!" Eden cheered.
"...So...I'm fighting a demon girl...not sure if I should be scared or creeped out." Amij said.
"Probably both." Ceygas said.
Amij and Eden got on the ring.
"Hi." Eden waved.
"...Hi." Amij waved since why not.
"Begin!" Aeon said.
Eden immediately got into a battle stance, swinging her arm around.
"Alright human, try to punch me." Eden said.
"...Excuse me?" Amij asked.
"Come on, punch me! Give me the good ole one-two one-two or are you too scared to hit a girl?" Eden asked, smiling.
"...No, of course not. But if you insist." Amij shrugged.
Amij punched Eden in the face as she requested...and Amij suddenly felt the punch in his own face aswell.
"...Ow! The heck!?" Amij asked.
"Try again!" Eden grinned.
Amij kicked Eden and when she got kicked, he felt the pain of his kick aswell.
"What the hell is going on!?" Amij asked.
"That's simple. My Arcana power is based on 'Lovers'. Ever saw the tarot cards? Each of my family members have different abilities based on the Arcana. My power involves sharing my pain with anyone. So, every time you punch me, you feel the pain of your punches aswell and anything else you do to me." Eden grinned.
"...Well...crap...but I can still do this!" Amij said.
He clicked his finger and Eden suddenly went flying out of the ring and was gonna hit the ground
"Weeeeeeeeeeee!" Eden smiled.
Eden then grabbed onto the edge and hopped back on the ring as she punched Amij in the stomach before beginning to punch him repeteadly in the face several times.
Amij grabbed her hand and threw her against the floor.
The moment he did that, there was pain in his back since he slammed her against the floor, her pain would be shared with him.
Amij puts his hand on his back, giving Eden opportunity to grab his neck by with her legs and threw him out of the ring.
Amij used his flight element to prevented himself from falling and floated back on the ring.
Eden then smacked her toe against the ring, causing Amij to pain in his toe aswell.
"AH!" Amij yelled.
Eden grabbed her arm, began twisting it and Amij could feel the immense pain in his arm.
"We can do this all day long unless you quit, you know." Eden said.
"N-Never! I'm not gonna lose!" Amij said.
"Well, suit yourself." Eden shrugged, before hitting her head against the ground.
"GUH!" Amij said, putting his hand on his head.
Eden just began hurting herself more and more, causing Amij to land on his knees, not being able to continue due to the pain he is in.
"Amij, don't give up! There must be a way to beat her!" Naan called out from the sidelines.
"H-How!? If I throw a punch or kick, I will hurt myself!" Amij said.
"Then use the flight power for something! Like throw her off the ring or something." Naan said.
"...You're right...maybe I could...thanks Naan!" Amij said.
Amij then floated towards the sky, hovering above Eden.
His eyes were glowing as he lifted his arms.
Several spectator chairs behind Chetyra, Milaya and Khrabry were lifted and thrown right at Eden.
Eden got hit and Amij felt the pain but he continued, as he was using the chairs to knock Eden out of the ring.
Eden stumbled a bit, going backwards as chairs continued being smacked into her till she was at the edge.
She turned around and flinched she stopped and began avoiding the chairs.
Eden then got levitated off the floor and was launched right into a wall, outside the ring.
The throw caused Amij to fall on the ring floor, looking pretty injured as Aeon walked onto the ring and began healing him.
"Eden is out of the ring, which means Amij is the winner of this match!" Aeon said.
Eden landed on the ground after being launched into the wall and got up.
"...Oh...my...Satan, that was cool!" Eden smiled.
Eden hopped on the ring and shook Amij's hands.
"That was a cool fight! We should try it again sometime soon! Hey, maybe we can get each other's phone numbers?" Eden asked.
"...Not likely." Amij said as he went back to the bench, being pretty creeped out by Eden.
Eden raised an eyebrow but shrugged as she sat back on the bench before looking at Rigy.
"Nice shirt, where'd you bought it?" Eden asked.
"...A store?" Rigby guessed.
"Next match: Sigmund Versus Jasmine." Aeon said.
...Sigmund wasn't there however. He was missing.
"...Sigmund?...Where is he?" Aeon asked.
"...Maybe he doesn't want to fight her because he knows he'll lose?" Milana guessed.
Sigmund walked back in...wearing some armor that was pretty heavy for him, complete with a helmet.
"...I feel like you paired me against her on purpose." Sigmund said as he walked onto the ring.
Jasmine got on the ring aswell, glaring at Sigmund.
Sigmund simply looked at Jasmine.
"Begin!" Aeon said.
Jasmine immediately started with a punch on Sigmund's chest.
...It did not work. Not even a scratch on the armor.
"I learned from my mistake last time we met. This armor will prevent me from getting easily knocked out of the ring. Go ahead and try again." Sigmund said.
Jasmine punched Sigmund in the face and he was protected by the helmet.
Jasmine began punching Sigmund's several times but to no affect.
After seeing that it's not working, Jasmine began walking away from Sigmund.
"Hm. Victory is mine, I see...huh?" Sigmund asked.
Jasmine stopped as she was far away from Sigmund and was at the edge of the ring.
She clenched her fists as cracks appeared on the ground she was standing.
Her eyes turned neon blue, the image of the sun appeared in her iris.
Jasmine charged at Sigmund again, leaving a small crater behind as her fists made contact with his chest, tearing through his armor and sending Sigmund flying out of the coliseum entirely.
"Sigmund lost the fight! If the next three Omnipotents win their matches, Sigmund will be eliminated." Aeon announced.
"Yes!" Amij grinned.
"...Serves him right." Jasmine said, before walking off the ring, sitting back with the champions.
"Ooooh, he got knocked the fuck out!!!" Eden smiled.
"Next match: Kimura Versus Konan." Aeon said.
Sigmund walked in the coliseum, limping a bit, while looking quite angry as he looked at Kimura, giving her a 'lose the match' look.
Kimura simply looked at Sigmund before turning her head away and walking onto the ring.
Konan got on the ring, holding a battle axe and looked down on Kimura.
"...May be the best one win." Konan said.
Kimura simply nodded in response.
"Begin!" Aeon announced.
Konan aimed his battle axe and Kimura jumped out of the way as the axe hits the floor instead.
He pulled the axe out of the floor and charged at Kimura.
Kimura pucked up a vial from her jacket and threw it at Konan, knowing that Universe 10 people aren't immune to diseases.
Konan smashed the vial with his axe and continued charging at Kimura
Kimura jumped out of the way again before she grabbed another vial chemical, with the label 'Strenght'. She only took one sip before putting it back in her jacket.
She avoided Konan's punch and punched him in the face instead.
Kimura began punching Konan several times in the stomach, knocking him back slightly.
She then jumped, kicking him in the neck.
Konan raised his arm and smacked Kimura in the head with his elbow, knocking her on the ground.
He grabbed Kimura by her hair and threw her out of the ring
Kimura landed on the edge just on the right time.
She pulled out the chemical vial 'Speed' drinking the entire thing and ran with incredible speed towards Konan, headbutting him in the chest.
Konan got knocked on the ground.
Kimura grabbed him by his leg before she started to drag him towards the end of the ring.
Konan raised his head and smacked Kimura in the face with the handle off his axe, knocking her on the floor.
He got up and grabbed Kimura before throwing her against the floor, hard.
Kimura looked a bit injured from the throw as she slowly got up and was on one knee, looking at Konan.
She looked inside her jacket, looking at the full vial of the Strenght chemical before she looked at Sigmund who shook his head off in disapprovement, wanting her to lose so they can both be in the tie and arrange for Sigmund to win.
Kimura looked at the ground, not sure what to do. Wether she should give up and lose the competition so then Sigmund can win and restore her mom's reputation or-
"Akemi! Don't give up!" Jasmine shouted, cheering her cousin head on
Kimura looked at Jasmine in surprise. After hearing her cousin's cheer, she knew she couldn't let her down, figuring that maybe Milana or Naan might lose in the next match.
"...Alright...this will be painful as shit but better than losing." Kimura said.
She pulled out the Strenght vial and drank the entire thing.
Kimura let's out a small burp before her eyes widened as she dropped the vial, shattering on the floor, blowing steam out of her nose and ears.
Kimura landed on her knee's, putting her hands on her stomach, feeling pain as her body began twitching uncontrollably.
Konan looked at Kimura, confused about what was happening to her.
Kimura looked up at Konan, glaring at him as her body started growing muscles, her jacket's sleeves exploded into shreds and she was now as big as Konan was.
Kimura got up and looked at Konan, clenching her fists.
Konan attempted to hit Kimura with his axe but she easily grabbed it and pulled it out of his hand, throwing it out of the ring.
Kimura punched Konan in the face, breaking his nose in the process.
She grabbed him by the neck and started smacking him around before she throwing into the air and Konan landed outside the coliseum like Sigmund did.
"Kimura wins the match!" Aeon said.
"Yes!" Jasmine cheered.
Kimura turned and smiled at Jasmine before she looked at herself.
"...Great, there goes another perfectly fine jacket." Kimura sighed as she walked off the ring.
She walked back to the Omnipotents, who were pretty small compared to her now.
"...Aren't you gonna change back to normal?" Milana asked.
"It doesn't work like that. Since I drank the entire thing, the effect will last till an hour or so. Do any of you have a problem with that?" Kimura asked.
"...No." Naan said.
"Good." Kimura said, as she sat on the bench. Her size caused the bench to go upwards and Iknaa flew into the air since she was sitting at the end of the bench.
"Hey, can I have some of that stuff that you drank earlier?" Eden asked.
"...No." Kimura said.
"Next match: Milana Versus Gustavo." Aeon said.
"Finally." Milana smiled, as she got up and got on the ring.
Gustavo got on the ring, clenching his fists as he walked up to Milana.
"I heard you are quite a formidable fighter. But are you strong enough to take on a member of the most powerful group from Universe 11?" Gustavo asked.
"Kyuubi Zi: whoever throws the first punch is guaranteed to lose." Milana said.
"Begin!" Aeon announced.
Gustavo aimed his large fist, bringing it down on Milana.
Milana jumped out of the way and began kicking Gustavo several times in the face.
Gustavo grabbed Milana's legs and threw her on the ground.
Milana got up and charged at Gustavo who jumped in the air and landed his feet on Milana's shoulders.
Milana was currently getting crushed by his weight.
Gustavo stretched out his arms and began rotating along with Milana, to the point where they began flying in the air, looking like a twister.
Milana grabbed Gustavo's legs while they were rotating in the air and threw him on the match floor.
She landed on the floor and charged at Gustavo, ready to stab him with her claws.
Gustavo got up and jumped, grabbing Milana's wrist and landing behind her.
He crushed her wrist, the sound of her bones cracking was heard,.
"KIAH!" Milana yelled.
Milana stabbed Gustavo in the face with her claws, knocking him on the ground.
She turned to her wrist and her eyes glew. The bones crushed by Gustavo reformed themselves and sighed in relief before she turned to Gustavo.
He charged at Milana once again but Milana dodged his fists and clawed him in the neck, leaving quiet a nasty mark.
"GAH!" Gustavo yelled, putting his hand on his neck.
Milana continued stabbing him several times with her claws, tearing through his clothes and leaving many marks all over his body.
Gustavo kicked Milana and jumped out of the way.
Both of them looked each other in the eyes, both clenching their fists, ready to land one last attack on each other.
The two charged at each other again and their fists clashed against each other.
The clash sent both Gustavo and Milana flying but Milana stopped herself and landed on the floor.
Milana then charged at Gustavo again and kicked him in the stomach.
The kick was enough to send him out of the ring, crashing into the wall and landing on the ground.
"Milana wins this round! Now it's time for the last match: Naan Vs Angus!" Aeon said.
Naan gulped in response as she looked at Angus.
Angus had a calm look on his face as he floated towards the ring. He stared at Naan.
"...I...uh." Naan said.
"He doesn't look that tough. I'm sure you can take him." Amij said, patting her back.
"...Thanks." Naan sighed, as she got up and walked on the ring.
Naan looked around, to find anything that will allow her to summon her reflections and spotted a mirror that was held by Ashley as she looked herself in it.
Naan then looked at Angus who simply waited.
"Begin!" Aeon said.
10 Naan's jumped out of Ashley's mirror, knocking her on the ground as they jumped on the ring and charged at Angus.
5 of them grabbed him by his limbs while the other 5 just kicked and punched him. Unfortnately, their kicks and punches were pretty weak.
Angus continued floating as he raised his arms and levitated the Naan's, throwing them out of the ring and when they hit the walls, they shatter into mirror pieces.
One Naan was about to be smacked into the real Naan but she dodged just in time.
She summoned a reflection of Angus who flew towards the real one and punched him in the face.
Angus looked at the reflection and it shattered into many pieces.
Naan just summoned more and more reflection of Angus, each of them flying right into him.
Some of them were punching Angus while the others grabbed him, trying to throw him out of the ring.
Angus levitated the reflections of him and threw them into Naan, burying her in a pile of his reflections.
Naan tossed one reflection off her and when she looked up, Angus was floating right in front of her.
Naan just looked at Angus, wondering what he is about to do next.
Angus...simply turned around and began floating away.
"H-Hey! Where are you going? I'm not out of the ring!" Naan said.
Angus stopped to look at Naan.
"...This battle is one-sided. You are merely a child. You are not powerful enough to take me on and I do not want to inflict harm on you. This match is over." Angus said as he continued to float out of the ring.
Naan just stared.
"...I...I lost...again?...If I lose again...then...me being here was for nothing...does that mean that...I'll always be weak?...a child that can't do anything except get beaten at everything...?"
The thought of losing a fight...infuriated her as her eyes started to glow and glared at Angus.
"HEY! I'M NOT DONE WITH YOU YET! GET BACK HERE!" Naan yelled.
Angus continued floating.
"...I..said..." Naan said.
Naan jumped out of the reflection pile.
"GET BACK HERE!" Naan roared.
The Angus reflections suddenly turned into reflections of the Omnipotents and the champions, each of them charged at Angus.
Angus got smacked in the face by a Jasmine reflection while a Ceygas reflection blasted him with lightning and a Milana reflection clawed him in the face.
"AH!" Angus yelled in pain.
The reflections of Gustavo and Konan grabbed him by his arms, starting to crush them before he got hit by a beam launched by Ashley's reflection.
"Holy crap!" Amij said.
"...Is Naan okay? She...sort of snapped." Ceygas said.
"She unleashed the hidden potential within her. She doesn't want to lose again." Milana said.
Sigmund's mouth twitched a bit.
Angus summoned a blue sphere that protected him from the reflections. All the reflections began punching the sphere and weren't stopping.
Naan then summoned a reflection of Gobi which charged right towards the sphere.
It headbutted the sphere, making a crack.
The Gobi headed back before charging into the sphere again, making another crack.
With the attacks of the reflections and the Gobi reflection, the sphere will shatter soon.
Angus crawled into a ball before he yelled out a scream.
He launched a large blue blast that destroyed the shield, the reflections and knocked Naan out of the ring, knocking her into Amij.
The Omnipotents, Aeon, Natasha, Chetyra, her friends and champions were knocked off their seats by the blast.
When it was finished, the entire ring was now a huge crater and Angus was on his knees, taking a deep breath.
"...Huh...It appears the winner is...Angus! Naan has lost and now she and Sigmund will participate in a tie challenge to determine which one of them goes home." Aeon announced.
Sigmund sighed in relief.
"...C-Crap." Naan sighed, as she was laying on top of Amij
Aeon healed Angus as he began floating again and he turned to Naan.
Naan simply stared at Angus
Angus looked at Naan and nodded at her before he turned and floated towards the other champions.
"...What was that supposed to mean?" Naan asked.
"...Maybe you proved him that you weren't so weak after all and him nodding at you was a sign of respect?" Amij asked.
"...I guess?" Naan shrugged. Before she turned to Sigmund, glaring at him.
Aeon walked up to the champions.
"Thank you for participating in this challenge. Each of you have done well." Aeon said.
The champions nodded. Eden however was currently talking on the phone with mom.
"No, dad, I'm not on a date with some human boy. I'll be back home in a few minutes now I have to get up, the cravat guy is saying something." Eden said.
She hanged up
"What were you saying?" Eden asked.
"...Nothing. Each of you can go home now." Aeon stated.
Jasmine walked to Kimura.
"Hey." Jasmine said.
Kimura turned to Jasmine
"...Um, hi...thanks for...coming here." Kimura said.
"No problem. The reason I even came here was to see you...and also to gladly fight Sigmund." Jasmine said.
"Oh...well, thanks." Kimura said.
Sigmund then grabbed her by her muscular arm and pulled Kimura away as they went somewhere to talk in private.
Jasmine glared at Sigmund as they walked away before she went back to the champions as the portals to their Universes opened and all of them went through them.
"...So, can we go now?" Chetyra asked.
"Yes." Natasha said.
Chetyra, Milaya and Khrabry got up and walked out of the coliseum.
They arrived at the cemetery as they walked towards the graves of the Omnipotents.
"...That was something." Khrabry shrugged.
"Those fights were fun to watch. Definitely worth skipping school today." Milaya smiled.
"...I guess." Khrabry said, before he bumped into Chetyra who was looking at something.
"Chetyra, why did you-" Khrabry said, before he got grabbed by Chetyra and hid behind a gravestone.
She grabbed Milaya next and pulled her next to her and Khrabry.
"Chetyra, what are you-" Milaya said.
"Shh!" Chetyra shushed her before she turned to what she was looking at earlier.
Xuko and Minkah were in front of the graves of the Omnipotents of Universe 5 as Xuko was walking around the graves before he stopped in front of the Demeter tree
"...So...all the Omnipotents of Ideas are dead in this world...and all of them were buried here...this has to be my lucky day. I'll get the elements of Ideas in one fell swoop" Xuko smiled.
"...Who the hell is that?" Milaya asked.
"...He looks like a final boss from an anime video game." Khrabry said.
"...Why is he interested in the Omnipotents from 5? They're all dead...wait...that weird lady with him...I saw her with the other Omnipotents. She is the zombie who can bring people back to life with Necromancy...oh no!" Chetyra said, her eyes widened.
"What?" Milaya asked.
"...I...think he wants to bring back Demeter and the other Omnipotents to use them for something! Athena included!" Chetyra said.
"...Oh...crap! What do we do?" Khrabry asked.
"...I got this." Milaya said, pulling out a smoke grenade.
"Minkah, do your work." Xuko said.
Minkah's eyes began glowing and the dark clouds gathered.
12 pillars hit the graves of the Omnipotents.
The first one's soul to arrive was Athena's and the dirt from her grave began forming her body.
"Milaya, do it now!" Chetyra yelled.
Milaya had a hard time pulling the ring but she managed before aiming it at Xuko.
Athena was resurrected before her essence got absorbed by one of Xuko's empty skulls.
"One down...eleven more." Xuko laughed.
The grenade landed right in front of Xuko and Minkah.
Xuko looked at the grenade.
Smoke then popped out.
"THE DEVIL!?" Xuko asked.
The smoke got in Minkah's face, interrupting the ritual and the pillars vanished.
Xuko and Minkah got shot at by Chetyra, holding her large gun.
Minkah got pelted by bullets, but it din't seem to kill her.
Xuko stopped the bullets from flying and dropped them on the ground as he angrily looked at Chetyra, Khrabry and Milaya.
The sigils appeared in Minkah's eyes.
"Destroy them!" Xuko yelled.
Minkah screamed as she charged at the kids.
Khrabry pulled out a landmine and threw it at Minkah, it landed on her chest.
He pressed a button from a detonator and it exploded on her.
There was smoke but Minkah ran out of the smoke, still charging at the kids.
Milaya shot bullets at her from her submachine gun
The bullets still did nothing as Minkah grabbed both Khrabry and Milaya ready to devour them.
Chetyra pulled out another gun. This one looked different.
She shot a silver bullet, hitting Minkah's eye.
Minkah dropped the two kids as she stood there, not moving.
Chetyra shot two more silver bullets, hitting her neck and chest, right in her heart
Minkah collapsed on Khrabry.
"AH! AH! GET OFF ME!" Khrabry yelled off, pushing Minkah off him.
It appears the silver bullets managed to officially kill Minkah as Xuko stared at her corpse before looking at the kids.
"...You little brats!" Xuko said, clearly pissed off.
Xuko levitated the three kids and threw them into a gravestone. It shattered as they landed on someone's grave.
Xuko extracted Minkah's essence into another skull before it could of faded away as he walked towards the three kids, glaring at them.
Milaya aimed her gun at Xuko but he grabbed it and slapped her in the face, knocking her on the ground as he grabbed Chetyra by her shirt.
"How are you!? You think you can come in here and try to prevent me from stealing the elements!?" Xuko asked.
"...Those...those aren't just elements! Those are people! People who died because of a mad person and one of them was a friend of mine! You have no right to take them!" Chetyra yelled.
"Once something is dead, they're dead for good and they never come back. Being sentimental about dead people is really pathetic." Xuko said.
"I unno. I died once but here I am. Also...you died too you know." A voice said.
Xuko dropped Chetyra when he heard the voice as he turned around.
It was Khora, accompanied by Lionel. Khora did not exactly look happy to see Xuko.
"...You. Ah, yes...you were one of the Omnipotents who died during that battle. Khora, was it? How's the hole in your chest" Xuko asked, smiling.
"Well, I received another hole in the chest awhile ago so I'm used to it now. I see you are fine and well, despite being erased by Ceres and Pax." Khora said, despite the calm look, he sounded pissed off.
"Oh, trust me, it was a painful experience. But now things have changed. I no longer serve the Damn Tartarus clan. Soon, I'll become the master of the Demon and Human realms...and since you are here...maybe your essence will do instead of those dead people over there." Xuko smiled.
"Yeah, that's not happening." Khora said.
Suddenly, a small meteor smacked Xuko right in the head before he got blasted with green energy in the chest, knocking him on the ground.
Khora's hands grew very big and smashed his large fists into Xuko. He lifted his hands and smashed them into Xuko again and again.
Xuko, looking a bit hurt, grabbed one of Khora's hands before he blasted him with thunder.
The thunder din't seem to do much as Khora's hands returned back to normal size, went towards Xuko and grabbed him by his neck, lifting him to his face.
Khora then punched Xuko in the face and proceded to do so for several times, he wasn't stopping at all.
Xuko grabbed Khora's mannequin face before his hand was covered in fire as he attempted to melt Khora's face off, causing Khora to scream.
"You insolent fool! If it wasn't for those relics that you and your 'friends' stole, you would be nothing! And now, I'm gonna send you back to your flower garden where you belong!" Xuko yelled.
During Xuko's rambling, a black hole appeared behind Lionel.
Lionel turned and looked at Khora. He nodded as Lionel shoved his sword in the black hole.
...And Xuko suddenly felt something sharp in his stomach and blood poured out of his mouth.
Lionel's sword bursted out of his stomach, which was coming through a black hole that appeared in Xuko's stomach.
"GAH!" Xuko yelled.
He grabbed the sword and tossed it away as the black hole in his stomach closed.
Khora backed away as Xuko puts his hand on his stomach, while coughing blood as he looked at Khora and Lionel.
"...Release Leonard and Lemures...now." Lionel said.
"I'm afraid...I can't do that...they're mine...and your essence will belong to me too...You may of won the battle now...but the war is far from over...I still have Chaos in my pocket now...once I'll get healed...I will get more stronger souls of Omnipotents...and there is nothing you can do to stop me!" Xuko said.
Xuko then vanished through a flame, leaving the area.
"...Shit!" Khora said, looking pissed.
Back in the ship.
Aeon and the Omnipotents were in another area entirely and there was a finish line at the end of the room. It seems the effects of the Strenght chemical on Kimura wore off and she was back to her normal size and form.
"For this tie breaker challenge, the two of you will have to race to the finish line over there while avoiding obstacles. The first one to get there wins and get's to stay here for the remaining competition." Aeon said.
Sigmund looked at Naan while she simply stared at a screen of the room.
"...on your marks...get set...GO!" Aeon yelled.
Dozens of Sigmund reflections popped out of the screen, each of them jumped on Sigmund and restrained him as Naan ran off.
Naan was running very fast and walls peered out of the floor.
Naan easily avoided the walls and continued running.
"Yeah, go Naan!" Amij cheered.
"Hm, maybe Sigmund will meet his match after all." Iknaa said, looking relieved.
"...Don't count on it." Sigmund smiled.
Suddenly, the reflections restraining Sigmund began shaking as they evaporated into some strange liquid it seemed.
The liquid then went after Naan, going very fast.
Naan was almost at the finish line and before she could cross it, the liquid pile jumped on Naan and landed on the ground, getting her stuck in it.
"Mh, mh, HEY!" Naan yelled, trying to get out of the pile but couldn't.
Sigmund just walked past her as he crossed the finish line first.
"Sigmund got to the finish line! He wins the tie! Naan is eliminated." Aeon said.
"WHAT!? OH, COME ON!" Amij yelled, looking pissed.
Kimura turned her head away but Ceygas looked at her for some reason.
The liquid that trapped Naan vanished and she landed on the ground.
She got up and sighed as Sigmund walked past her.
Amij ran up to Sigmund.
"Hey, asshole, how about letting someone else win this competition? Like, someone who deserves to win more than you." Amij said.
"...And what would a little girl like do with all that useful knowledge? What would you do with it? Probably let it go to waste. I have plans for that knowledge ball. I'm not gonna lose just to show sympathy to a little girl who honestly made it here so far because she was lucky." Sigmund said.
"What did you say!?" Amij asked, clenching his fist, ready to hit Sigmund.
Sothot suddenly grabbed Amij's fist.
"...Punching him isn't exactly gonna change the results. I'm saving you the trouble of getting yourself hurt." Sothot said.
Amij still glared at Sigmund who simply looked at Amij.
"...Amij...it's okay...let him say whatever he wants. I really don't care. He will get kicked out eventually anyways." Naan said, as she walked past Sigmund.
"...Well, she certainly became more courageous." Milana said.
"Indeed. I'm quite proud of her for speaking her mind instead of being silent as usual." Iknaa said.
"...I guess." Amij said, still looking upset.
A few minutes later.
Naan was standing in front of the Omnipotents, with a backpack on her back as the portal to Universe 10 was opened.
"...Well...it was nice meeting most of you...I actually had fun in this game...and I'm glad most of you were nice to me instead of being jerks...well...almost everyone." Naan said, looking at Sigmund.
"No problem." Milana said.
"Just be a good child and listen to your elders, dear." Iknaa said.
Naan nodded before she looked at Amij.
"...Thanks for being my friend, Amij. I hope we get to each other again outside Tournaments that is." Naan said.
"...Sure thing...Naan." Amij said, smiling at her, trying to be happy.
Naan smiled as she nodded at everyone and went into the portal.
"...So, that's it for today?" Ceygas asked.
"Yes. I'll see you all tomorrow for the next challenge." Aeon said, as he and Natasha walked out of the area.
Sigmund turned around and started to walk away and Amij looked at him.
"...This ain't over just yet." Amij said.
"...I'm pretty sure today's challenge is over. She lost. Get over it. Besides, she used her power on me first. Good night, young man." Sigmund said, walking away.
Amij folded his arms, looking at the ground.
"...He will get his comeuppance...one way or another." Iknaa said, as she, Milana, Sothot and Kimura walked away.
"...Hopefully." Amij said, as he walked out aswell.
Ceygas, for some reason, looked at Kimura and decided to follow her.
In Kimura's room.
Kimura threw her torn jacket into the trash can and puts on a new one that looked exactly like the old she worn. In fact, her closet was full of those jackets.
Someone then knocked at her door.
Kimura sighed, thinking it was Sigmund and when opened it, it was Ceygas actually.
"...What are you doing here?" Kimura asked.
"I know you are the one who helped out Sigmund during the tie challenge to help him. And I want to know why." Ceygas said.
"...What...what are you talking about?" Kimura asked, surprised that she found out.
"I'm not dumb. Sigmund's element mutates things, doesn't turn them into liquid. You have the power of chemicals and they contain, guess what? Liquid. Seems to be your speciality." Ceygas said.
"...So? What are you gonna, rat me out to Aeon?" Kimura asked, glaring at her.
"No. I just want to know why do you want to help you someone who is clearly against your cousin and did nothing but give her trouble." Ceygas said.
"...I...well...um...none of your damn business. I don't have anything to tell you." Kimura said.
"Is this about your mom?" Ceygas asked.
"N-no, of course not! And I wish you wouldn't bring her up! Now leave me the hell alone!" Kimura said, slamming the door shut.
This seemed to irritate Ceygas.
"...Fine, do whatever you want. But remember this well: I'm not gonna lose the game just because of whatever issues you have and your idiotic decision of trusting Sigmund. He is going down and you're gonna go down with him if you keep helping him." Ceygas said, before taking off.
Kimura's back was turned to the door but she heard what Ceygas said as she puts her hand on her face, wiping what looked like a tear coming out of her eye.
Meanwhile, in Aeon's office.
Aeon was currently at his desk, talking to Natasha till a black hole opened and Khora entered in. The black hole closed behind him.
Aeon and Natasha looked shocked to see him.
"...Khora?" Aeon asked.
"Yeah, it's me...I don't know who you two are, But Pax told me that you lived in her city while you lived in Sephira's area." Khora said.
"...That's...correct...but why are you here? And why are you...a mannequin?" Natasha asked.
"Long story, it doesn't matter. What matters is that Xuko guy who killed most of us is back and has been collecting essence of Omnipotents who died in other Universes. He tried to steal the essence of the Omnipotents who had my elements." Khora said.
Aeon and Natasha's eyes widened.
"...Xuko?" Natasha asked, sounding a bit mad about this revelation.
"...How is that possible? I thought Ceres and Pax destroyed him!" Aeon said.
"That's what happened. But some idiot brought him back and he is trying to gather all the elements. I'm sure you both existed before we got our powers through the relics and know what happened when someone gathered the crests and summoned that Epilogue being to stop the war." Khora said.
"...He is planning on becoming the new Being, right?" Aeon asked.
"Yup. I managed to stop him from getting most of the essence but he escaped with the essence of the one with the Chaos element. Not to mention, a few other souls of Omnipotents from other dimensions. This could be pretty bad." Khora said.
"....Aeon...we have to stop him...where is he?" Natasha asked.
Aeon took off his sunglasses and his Mystic Eye activated, trying to find Xuko.
"...He...is in Universe 0. He is gonna heal himself there...we have to get there and put an end to this because if he succeeds... the entire Multiverse will be at his mercy." Aeon said.
"You two managed to beat Orpheus, something that Terra couldn't. I'm sure you can find a way to take this guy out for good." Khora said.
"We will...but there is a problem. The Tournament, it's not finished yet. There are 7 Omnipotents remaining. Who is gonna look after them and handle the challenges while we're gone. We don't even know how long it will take till Xuko is dealt with." Aeon said.
"...Well...maybe one of the Guardians from a Universe can? There is this guy...he is not from my Universe but from what I heard about him...maybe he could be in charge while you two deal with Xuko." Khora asked.
"Who?" Natasha asked.
"...I believe his name is..." Khora said.
In Universe 3.
It cuts to the Vixerello house as a note slips under the door.
Marick, who was wearing his normal outfit, was in the living room and noticed the note.
He got up and walked to the door and picked up the note and began to read it.
'I'm sure you don't know us but we require your help. I'm Aeon, a guardian from Universe 0 and something bad is currently happening. A demon that perished many years ago has been resurrected somehow and me and my wife need to deal with him but at the same time, I'm supposed to host a Tournament for Omnipotents. I heard about you from a person in Universe 5 so hopefully, you can take over my place for awhile till the issue is resolved as me and Natasha need to go in Universe 0 to deal with this.'-Aeon.
"Aeon huh? I see..." Marick said as his Prophets Eye was visible, after a few seconds, he vanished.
Meanwhile, With Aeon and Natasha.
They were both in Aeon's office.
Aeon was looking out the window in space, not looking happy at all.
Natasha's back was turned and her expression was invisible.
Marick's bell was heard, as all the lights turned off in the office.
The bell tolled again and the lights came back on.
Marick was now standing in the room with them.
Aeon just turned to Marick.
"...I presume you are Marick." Aeon said.
"Indeed, Marick Vixerello at your service, son of Omalley and Lynch Vixerello." Marick said, extended his hand out to shake Aeon's hand.
Aeon shook Marick's hand.
"Nice to meet you. As you read the note, me and Natasha need to go to Universe 0 to deal with Xuko, a demon that's been defeated a long ago by the last two original Omnipotents Ceres and Pax. We don't know how he came back but we need to go to deal with him for good. After what Khora told us, you could take over my place as host for a short period of time till we're finished." Aeon said.
"I see. What kind of demon is this Xuko? I only ask because my father encountered quite a few demons himself, as have i, and nearly all the ones we encountered were not evil at all....well a few of them were, but not all." Marick asked and noted.
"He was the former servant of Orpheus, the Demon of Armageddon, also the father of Erebus, the one that your father defeated a long time. Xuko is a demon who uses his magic to collect essence for a living. The souls that he used against the Omnipotents from Universe 0 were released but after he was revived, he decided to collect some of the essence of the dead Omnipotents. He managed to gather a few but if he gets them all, he will go after the living Omnipotents. If he succeeds, he will be the most powerful being in the entire Multiverse." Aeon said.
"I see.
Well you go do what you gotta do then, i will take over things from here." Marick said
"Thank you. All you need to know is that there are 7 Omnipotents left: Sigmund, Kimura, Ceygas, Sothot, Iknaa, Amij and Milana. All you have to do is announce the challenge, take them to the Universe where the challenge takes place at and wait till the challenge is over and announce the one who loses. Then take them back in the ship, open a portal for them and wait for them to say whatever they have to say before leaving. Each challenge takes place in a different Universe. Here is a list of challenges in Universes that you could use." Aeon said, giving Marick the list of challenge.
Marick took the list and nodded.
"Also, after the next Omnipotent is eliminated in the next challenge, the next round will be a three-parter in which three Omnipotents will be eliminated instead of in three different challenges. The three will go back to their Universes after the three-parter is done. Next will be the Semi-Finals challenge with top 3 and then the Finals. Hopefully, we'll be able to finish before the Finale so we can be there." Aeon said.
"Alright, fair enough." Marick said.
Aeon nodded before he turned to Natasha.
"We should get going now before he leaves again." Aeon said.
Natasha nodded.
"...Let's settle the score with him." Natasha said.
She raised her arms and a portal opened. Both she and Aeon went through it before it closed.

CHAPTER 6 FACE MYSELF
In the ship
In a room, the sound of someone's alarm was heard from their phone.
A hand raised from the bed and turned off the alarm.
Ceygas woke up, yawning.
"...Another challenge day." Ceygas said.
She laid on her bed for atleast 2 more minutes, staring at the ceiling before she got up and walked into the bathroom.
She turned on the water and cleaned her face up with some water before looking herself in the mirror.
"...I made it top 7 so far...every time someone from Universe 3 made it so far...we got eliminated before we could get further. We din't even get top 3...so, I have to guess that either today or tomorrow, I'm gonna be eliminated. Probably by Sigmund or someone else...well, guess the best thing I can do is atleast prevent the guy from winning this thing. If I'm going down, he goes down with me...and Kimura if she keeps helping him." Ceygas said, before she walked out of the bathroom and started to get dressed.
In Kimura's room.
She was sitting on her bed, with her legs crossed, listening to some music.
"...Is the asshole even gonna keep his word? Is he gonna stop bothering Jasmine if I do what he says and help restore mom's reputation?...I doubt it...but why do I keep helping him?...maybe it's because...I keep hoping that he is telling the truth and that he will actually help me...I'm such a goddamn fool..." Kimura said, burying her face into her knees.
In Milana's room.
Milana was currently sitting on the floor, in a meditation pose.
She was doing her best to concentrate but it wasn't working.
"...Ah, who am I kidding, this meditation crap is not working. Honestly, I just can't stop thinking about the competition. With only seven of us left, the finale will be coming soon. I made it so far, I might aswell make it to the finish and win. Universe 12 almost won a Tournament, it's about time it won a Tournament this time." Milana said.
She got up and folded her arms.
"...Well, whatever today's challenge will be...I'll be ready." Milana said, before she walked out of her room.
In Sothot's room.
Sothot was holding a sheet of paper with a poetry that looked to be unfinished.
He was holding his pen and tried to think of something, but he couldn't.
"...I can't think of anything...I don't have any inspiration...the garden from Eamon's place always game inspirations for my works...maybe it's because of this whole competition...maybe if I win this...I could restore Universe 4's honor I suppose...honor that he ruined." Sothot frowned.
He puts the paper down and got up.
"...Everyone always says that I look just like him because we look similar...well, that's as far as they need to believe...no one can know what happened." Sothot said, as he walked out of the room.
In Amij's room.
He was laying on his bed, angrily staring at the ceiling.
"...Man, fuck Sigmund. Everyone who got eliminated deserved to be in top 7 instead of him. Honestly, it's becoming an annoying pain in the ass...Naan is gone, but the least I can do is kick the guy's ass and win this thing. It's the best I can do at this point." Amij said.
Amij sighed before he got off his bed and puts on his shoes.
"...Well, whatever challenge Aeon might have for us today...bring it." Amij said.
In Iknaa's room.
Iknaa was currently brushing her hair in front of a mirror.
She stopped as she puts the brush aside and looked at herself in the mirror.
"...This game has been quite unmerciful...It's been probably week ever since I got here...I still don't know which one of those Universe 1 thugs were the ones responsible for Apep's death...but I will find out eventually...and they will pay the price..." Iknaa said.
Iknaa turned around, looking at photos of Egyptian Gods that she put on the wall. The photos were placed to give her inspiration or atleast courage.
She looked at a picture of the Egyptian Goddess, Maat.
"...Maat, Great Goddess of Truth and Justice...please...help me find the one who did this to Apep...and give the monster what they deserve." Iknaa said.
Iknaa then walked out of her room.
Sigmund wasn't in his room, as he was sitting on the bench outside the hotel.
"...Well, well, I'm in top 7. Not much of a shocker. I knew I would make it here, thanks to my strategy. As it stands, the true threat here is Sothot. When he goes down, everyone else will follow suit...Akemi became a bit of a liability. If it wasn't for me giving her that ultimatum, I would of lost for sure in the tie challenge. It's quite obvious who the winner of this game will be. Universe 1 will have the knowledge it needs and it will become the most safest and superior Universe out of them all." Sigmund said.
Sigmund then got up and walked into the restaurant.
Everyone else walked out of the hotel and went into the restaurant aswell.
Inside, The seven left were sitting at their own tables instead of sitting together, eating their food in silence.
Eventually, when they finished, they began waiting..and waiting.
A few minutes later, nothing happened.
"...Okay, where the hell is Aeon? It's been taking too long for him to announce the new challenge?" Milana asked.
"I guess something must of happened." Ceygas shrugged.
"Or maybe he run out of ideas for the next challenge." Sigmund suggested.
Marick walked into the restaurant.
"This is actually a really nice ship." Marick noted as he walked in.
The Omnipotents turned and got up when they saw Marick.
"...Who are you, dude?" Amij asked.
"...That guy is the son of those guys who helped us kill Erebus. Omalley and Lynch. And he is here...for some reason." Ceygas said.
"And I take it he must have a good reason of why he is here." Iknaa said.
"Good observation.
My name is Marick Vixerello.
Aeon and Natasha, the two guardians who were hosting this tournament, had to go take care of an evil demon Xuko, so while they are dealing with that, they put me in charge of hosting this tournament, atleast until they get back." Marick said
"So, any questions before this next challenge begins?" Marick asked as he pulled out the list Aeon gave him.
"...Xuko?" Kimura asked.
"...Did Aeon tell you how the challenges work and in which Universes?" Iknaa asked.
"For the most part yes, he gave me a list of challenges and universe in which they shall take place." Marick said.
"Okay. What's the next challenge then, dude?" Amij asked.
Marick looked at the list
"Well...according to Aeon, the next challenge will be in Universe 12, you all will go to something called the Waterfall of Truth where you will basicly confront your others...except..ya know...omni versions of others...whatever those are called...
He says in order to win you must...acknowledge yourself.....which I'm gonna assume has something to do with how the other will basically show you your true self and you must accept the truth about yourself...or something to that effect...and whoever doesn't loses..
Basically go to the waterfall, accept who you are and whoever doesn't loses." Marick summed up.
"...Hm, I know about that place. It's been made by the former Guardian, Fremont. He created it so then people who have problems with themselves, who are hiding their true colors and don't want to accept who they are and the mistakes they made will be forced to reveal their true feelings that they kept hidden within themselves in front of their true selves." Milana said.
"...Kind of like the Others?" Ceygas asked.
"...Sort of. The beings of truth are made out of the person's true self who forces the person to admit the truth. If they won't, the being of truth will vanish but with spite." Milana said.
"...So like the Others." Ceygas said.
"Yes, yes, similar to that." Milana said, annoyed.
"Well alright then...let's get this started...Ark, open a portal to the Waterfall of Truth in Universe 12." Marick said and a portal opened. Marick walked through.
Everyone else followed.
They arrived in a large forest and were in front of the waterfall.
"...So, do we simply stare at the water and wait for the thing to come up?" Amij asked.
"...You have to be concentrated and focus in order for the being of your true self to pop out." Milana said.
"...Alright." Sothot sighed.
"Alright let's get this started, one at a time, step in front of the waterfall, and may the truth revealing whatever on earth will happen stuff begin!" Marick said.
"...Sure thing. I'll go first, I have nothing to hide." Amij smiled, stepping forward
"Be sure not to let the truth thingy creature eat you alive." Kimura said.
"Thanks. I appreciate it." Amij frowned.
Amij stepped in front of the waterfall and began concentrating.
At first, nothing seemed to happen.
"...Where is the truth thing?...It's not coming out." Amij said.
"Just keep concentrating and stay focused." Milana said.
"Alright then." Amij sighed.
Amij keep concentrating.
Eventually, a pair of eyes were seen from the waterfall and someone stepped out.
It was Amij's being of truth, who's entirely black except the eyes.
Amij stepped back a bit.
"...So, are you my truth being or something?" Amij asked.
"Yeah, that's me." Amij's truth of being said, in a pretty bored tone.
"...Okay...so, what do I need to be truthful?" Amij asked.
"Don't act like you don't know, dude. Just say it already." The being of truth sighed.
"...Truthful about what?" Amij asked.
"Are you dumb? You know, the superhero stuff? You've been doing this shit for like what, 7 years? It is your only way of getting attention from everyone." The being of truth said.
"...That's...not true..." Amij said.
"It isn't? If you din't become an Omnipotent, you wouldn't been a hero to begin. You would of been a zero, a person ignored by everyone. All this crap about fighting for the truth and the people is just your only way of being acknowledged by everyone...because you hate being alone, right?" The being of truth asked.
"....I...I care about the people who had been wronged and needed! And I'm not alone anymore, I have Ray." Amij said.
"Yes, but now, but what about before? Before you met Ray, you were living in a orphanage, surrounded by kids who din't even like you and din't even want you around. They found a nuisance, even the caretakers couldn't stand you. That's why you decided to leave the place and live on your own, isn't that it?" The being of truth asked.
"...Y-yeah...I...really hated that place...even to this day...I don't even know who my parents were...and if they would of loved me...I...just wanted to be loved by someone. Anyone to accept me." Amij frowned.
"So, you admit it then?" The being of truth asked.
"...Yes...I...I hate being alone...I really do...a lot." Amij sighed.
Amij's being of truth seemed to accept as it turned into water and evaporated from Amij's sight.
"...So, since I admitted the truth...does this mean I'm safe?" Amij asked, looking at Marick.
Marick nodded
"...Cool." Amij sighed, as he walked back to the others, sitting on the ground, looking quite depressed.
"...I'm sorry for everything that happened to you...I can't imagine the childhood you must of had." Iknaa said.
"...It's alright...it's in the past now." Amij said, still sounded sad however.
"...Who should go next?" Kimura asked.
"...I might aswell...I'm ready to tell the truth." Milana said, stepping forward.
"You think so?" Ceygas asked.
"...Yes." Milana said.
Milana walked in front of the waterfall and focused.
Her being of truth walked out next, folding her arms.
"...You finally found the courage to face yourself at last, hm?" The being of truth asked, with it's hands on it's hips.
"...Yes...I've wanted to come here...but...I just couldn't...because I din't want to accept that I was-" Milana said.
"Weak? Is that it? You hate to acknowledge the fact that you aren't as invincible as you thought?" The being of truth asked.
"...Y-Yes..." Milana said.
"Sidra was your student. You dedicated your time by trying to help him become the new Omnipotent of Thirst...and yet, you failed to realize that he was working with another the group the entire time behind your back. So much for the master and student bond." The being of truth said.
"...I...din't know...how could I know?...Sidra...wouldn't tell me when I asked him about what he is so busy with that he couldn't bother showing up at his training session." Milana sighed.
"If you cared so much, you would of tried to find out. But instead, you let someone else do you work when those humans showed up in Universe 12, asking about him. As a result, Sidra died, because you din't step in." The being of truth said.
"...I...din't know he was gonna die. The others assured me that he wouldn't be hurt." Milana said.
"But it still happened either way. Sidra died and his family blamed you for his death." The being of truth said.
"...They did...after I promised them that I will do my best with him...I disappointed them...even if Sidra was revived, it won't wipe out the shame that I brought upon myself...the best thing I can do now is acknowledge my mistakes and...try to be more closer to my students so then none of this will happen again." Milana said.
"You admit being weak then?" The being asked.
"...Yes...I am weak...a very...weak person." Milana sighed.
The being then vanished out of sight.
"...It was hard keeping all of this in me...but it's over now...I finally came clean." Milana said.
Milana then walked back to the crowd and stood there with her back turned.
"....Any of you can go next now..." Milana said.
"The next one will be the third. Maybe Universe 3 should have a turn." Sigmund said, looking at Ceygas.
Ceygas rolled her eyes.
"If it makes you feel better. Fine. I'll do it, just to shut you up." Ceygas said.
Ceygas walked towards the waterfall and stopped, folding her arms.
"...Alright...true me...just...come in and finish this quick and painless." Ceygas sighed.
Ceygas's being of truth peered out of the water next and folded her arms just like Ceygas.
"Well, well, it's been awhile since you decided to be truthful about yourself." The being said.
"Yeah, yeah, let's cut the crap so I can pass this round." Ceygas said.
"I see. You want to get things done before everyone can spot the jealousy in your eyes." The being said.
"...Jealous of what?" Ceygas asked.
"You know what I'm talking about. Back in the Universe 11 challenge, you were kindaaa ticked off when you saw Yarim's photo of her graduating some college and yet she was an Omnipotent like you." The being said.
"Of course I was. What person wouldn't be pissed after their life was stolen from their own graps and then you see others who are like you and yet they had succesful lives." Ceygas said.
"Yeah. You are pretty envious when it comes to people who had better lives than you. Most of Universe 11 Omnipotents have normal jobs, Yarim is a operative for the ISP, Iknaa is a pharaoh's councellor, Milana owns a dojo, Amij is some superhero, Sigmund is fucked up beyond repair and yet he is not in a dimension cell where he should be, that prick Hikrat is a pharaoh. Even those assholes Kacaj and Tyrned had succesful businesses for awhile even when they abused their powers for their own gain. And poor Casey got locked in a prison for a few years because people were afraid of your abilities and what you were capable of. How truly unfair." The being said.
"Okay, I got the picture. Yes, I'm pissed at people who were luckier than I was. I got to be stuck in a damn prison with people I din't know because of a power I discovered for like a few minutes and then I ended up in a hellhole! And I was so close to get the career that I dreamed of getting but noooo, some other people just had to have alibi's or excuses that allowed them to have perfect lives while I got the middle finger, the big Fuck you in the ass!" Ceygas said.
"...So you are jealous?" The being asked.
"Yes, yes, yes, yes, infinity of Yes! I AM JEALOUS YOU DUMB SHIT! Now get the fuck out!" Ceygas said, her eyes were now yellow.
"...Okay, no need to shout. Think about your blood pressure." The being said, before it evaporated.
Ceygas turned around and walked back to the Omnis, pissed, as she walked to Sigmund.
"There, I did it. You happy?" Ceygas asked.
She grabbed him by his lab coat and pushed him towards the waterfall.
"Now's your turn to spill your guts." Ceygas said.
Sigmund just shrugged as he walked towards the waterfall, while hiding the glare that he is currently using on Ceygas as he stood in front of the waterfall, with his hands in his pockets.
Sigmund's being of truth stepped out, looking at Sigmund.
"...Hello, me." The being said.
"Hello." Sigmund said.
"...I can assume you are gonna tell the entire truth in order to get one step closer to the ball of Knowledge, correct?" The being asked.
"If I have to, yes." Sigmund said.
"Very well...tell me, Sigmund...was it all worth it?" The being asked.
"I would like details about what you are saying." Sigmund said.
"You know, the experiments, the horrible treatment of those creatures, the mutations, your attitude towards your colleagues and employee's, the tactics that you pulled in this game in order to win. All of that. You got quite a few number of people eliminated just to get here. People who probably had more reasons to win this than you." The being said.
"Maybe they did, but their reasons are miniscule compared to my reason for being here. The knowledge that I will receive will be the next step of evolution for my Universe. And I will bring the evolution to them." Sigmund said.
"So, you will do whatever it takes to win? Even if it means getting your hands dirty, unlike the other times in which you had people doing the work for you like Iknaa's snake that you mutated to get Gafust eliminated, those lizards back in Universe 10, the alliance with-" The being said.
"Yes, whatever it takes. And I would do it again if I have to." Sigmund said.
"...Hm, I see...hopefully, you know what you are doing." The Being said.
The being evaporated.
Sigmund shrugged as he turned around and walked back to the crowd.
Iknaa was looking at the ground, her fists clenched, she looked pretty...murderous to say the least.
"...So...it was you after all...I knew it...you...dirty...scoundrel!" Iknaa said, looking at Sigmund.
"It appears you are a bit...unstable right now. Perhaps visiting the truth waterfall will help calm yourself. Get it all off your chest." Sigmund said.
Iknaa simply glared at Sigmund before looking at the waterfall.
"...Very well." Iknaa said, pushing Sigmund out of the way as she walked towards the waterfall.
She stopped in front of the waterfall, glaring at it.
"...Come out so we can end this foolishness." Iknaa said.
Iknaa's being of truth appeared.
"...That isn't the attitude that a pharaoh's advisor should have, you know." The being said.
"How can one be calm when the one who murdered a pet that you had ever since you were a child and it was the last thing that reminded you of your father is sitting there, with his hands in his pockets and not paying the price for his action?" Iknaa asked.
"Your father...you really loved him, din't you?" The being asked.
"...Of course I did. He taught everything about right and wrong...and how the power that I have is from the Gods themselves. They bestowed the power upon me because....it's my destiny. When he was on his deathbed, I promised him that I will become the pharaoh's councellor to change the things around...to make sure that people will get the justice that they deserve and no unjustitifed murders...and now, Apep, the companion that I had for years, my last gift from my father...is gone...and it's all because of that...monster." Iknaa said, looking furious.
"So, if the opportunity presented itself to you...would you...kill Sigmund?" The being asked.
"...Yes. With every core of my being, yes. I would even have Minkah use her necromancy to bring him back so then I can gladly kill him again." Iknaa said.
The being nodded as it vanished. It appears Iknaa said the truth.
Iknaa then looked at the creature as she walked back to the crowd.
"...Hey, are you okay?" Amij asked.
"I'm fine." Iknaa said, with anger in her voice.
Iknaa then looked at Kimura.
"Your turn." Iknaa said, glaring at her.
"...F-Fine." Kimura said, walking past Iknaa.
Sigmund suddenly grabbed Kimura's wrist.
"...If it tries to make you come clean about our alliance...lose the challenge. I will still redeem your mother even if you are eliminated, as long as I get to the top." Sigmund whispered
Kimura just glared at Sigmund, slapping his hand away before she went to the waterfall. Sigmund clearly did not like that.
Kimura stood in front of the waterfall and stared at it.
Kimura's being of truth appeared and looked at Kimura with the same glare expression.
"...When are you gonna drop the act?" The being asked.
"...The act?" Kimura asked.
"You know, the whole 'tough looking girl' act. It's getting old at this point." The being said.
"It's...not an act...it's what I really am." Kimura said.
"Are you now? So it's not an act to get people off your back and let them see how timid and scared you really are." The being said.
"...No...I'm-I'm not scared..." Kimura said.
"Really? Your tone doesn't sound like the voice of a confident person. Back before Fujiko died, you hated her for being with the council, because of the scum that they are and how much pain it put you through when you were a kid. Always bullied by everyone because they din't like your mom's job." The being said.
"W-What are you getting at by mentioning all this shit!?" Kimura asked.
"What I'm getting at is that it's time for you to grow the fuck up and realize that not everyone is your enemy. Hell, you trust Sigmund of all people and he is trying to hunt down Jasmine. And you're helping him like you did with Lionel and Naan because you foolishly believe that he will restore Fujiko's name and leave Jasmine alone...but we know that will never happen now, do we?" The being asked.
Kimura looked at the ground, her face couldn't be seen.
"...No...it...it will never happen...even if he wins, his promise doesn't mean jack shit." Kimura admitted.
"...So, you admit it?" The being asked.
"...Yes...I really can't trust Sigmund...or myself for that matter to make the right decisions...I'm not like Jasmine...I'm not as strong as she is..." Kimura said.
The being nodded before it evaporated.
Kimura walked away from the waterfall and sat on the ground, in front of the Omnipotents.
"...There, I told the truth...now, you." Kimura told Sothot.
Sothot looked at the waterfall of truth, looking a bit nervous.
"...Very well...let's do this." Sothot said, as he walked to the waterfall.
Sigmund gave Kimura an ominous look before looking at Sothot.
Sothot stood in front of the waterfall and let's out a deep breath before looking at it.
A few minutes pass and Sothot's being of truth stepped out, staring at Sothot.
"...Pleasure to see you...Ottoh Raven." The being said.
"...That was my old name. It's best it's left forgotten." Sothot said.
"That's one of the many things that you wish to remain forgotten." The being said.
"...Yes...I want them to be forgotten...is that what you want to hear?" Sothot asked.
"That, and something else...you thought you could of had a easier life by telling your wife the truth: about how she married a person with powers. People with powers used to be feared in Universe 4 a long time ago, because they associated powers with devils and monsters. Then again, anyone would be afraid of a person who has control over reality itself, am I right?" the being asked.
"...No...you're wrong...not all people would..." Sothot said.
"Not all people? So, when your wife freaked out when she discovered that you have a power, the most dangerous one of all...it was just a joke from her part? She was faking?" The being asked.
"...No...she...freaked out...and declared everything over." Sothot sighed.
"Then you become upset and your power started to mess with reality itself. Then you stopped and left, far away from civilization. Then years later, you found out something...very interesting.." The being said.
"...Don't...say...it." Sothot said, sweating.
"Why? It's not like it matters anymore. He is dead, after all." The being said.
"Stop it!" Sothot said.
"You found out that you had a son...a son who conquered worlds, slaughtered aliens and anyone else who stood in his way, was worst than any dictators who existed." The being said.
"STOP IT!" Sothot yelled.
"Your son...Tarus Raven...Hastur." The being said.
Marick looked at Sothot, but said nothing...yet.
"...Hastur...is his son?" Milana asked.
"...It makes sense...Sothot must be really old. More older than all of us combined." Iknaa said.
"...Yeah." Ceygas said.
Sigmund took a step back as he looked at Sothot and his being.
"..He is not my son." Sothot said.
"You still keep denying the fact that you are his father?" The being asked.
"Yes! Hastur is no son of mine and he will never will be!" Sothot said.
"...I see...so you refuse to admit the truth then..." The being said.
Suddenly, a third yellow eye appeared on the being's forehead.
"...What?" Sothot asked.
At that moment, it's body started bulging like crazy as it's skin turned red, tentacles bursted out of it's arms, horns grew from it's head, scorpion tails popping out of his back and it's legs were replaced by insect like legs.
Sothot stepped back, his eyes widened.
"What is this!?" Sothot asked.
The being screeched, looking pretty demonic as it launched it's tentacles at Sothot, grabbing him by his neck, intending to choke him out.
"GAH!" Sothot yelled.
The waterfall behind the being turned into ice.
The Omnipotents looked shocked.
"The fuck!? Milana, you said it would vanish after someone refuses to tell the truth!" Ceygas said.
"I did! This...never happened before!" Milana said.
"Guys, we should probably stop it!" Amij said.
Amij used his power to have the tentacles fly out of the being's sockets and fly in the air, dropping Sothot.
Sothot was on his knee's, grasping for air.
The being screeched again as the ground the Omnipotents and Marick were standing on turned into cement, trapping their feet.
"What the fuck!?" Kimura asked.
"Since this being is made out of Sothot's true self, it has the same reality powers as him. It's manipulating reality and using it against us." Milana said.
"Well, fuck, how do we get out!?" Amij asked.
Marick, who's feet were also trapped, looked at the list Aeon gave him and looked at it with a 'Are you kidding me' look, after it said that he can't get involved.
Sigmund was right next to Marick, who looked pretty calm as his legs were also trapped.
Kimura pulled out a vial with a foamy substance and poured it onto the same cement. It melted very quickly, releasing the Omnipotents.
"It worked!" Amij said.
Kimura nodded before she threw the vial at the being.
The vial phased through the being as it turned to Kimura
Suddenly, there was a hole beneath Kimura instead of the ground and she fell in, screaming.
"Oh shit!" Ceygas yelled, running to the hole.
"KIMURA!" Ceygas said.
Thankfully, Kimura din't fall in complete and was holding onto the ground. When she looked down, it was a bottomless abyss before looking at Ceygas.
"...P-Please don't let me fall!" Kimura said, looking scared.
"Grab my hand!" Ceygas said, helding out her hand.
Kimura immediately grabbed it and Ceygas pulled her out.
"...T-Thanks." Kimura said.
"Yeah, don't mention." Ceygas said.
Ceygas got up and raised her arms, ready to shoot the being with lightning.
Instead of raining with lightning, it began raining with frogs instead and all of them landed on Ceygas, burying her in a pile of frogs.
"Are you shitting me?" Ceygas asked.
Amij flew towards the being and punched it in the face.
The being headbutted Amij, knocking him on the ground...and suddenly, he was now a lego version of himself.
"...Okay...this is just weird." Amij said.
Iknaa clicked her fingers and the being was lit on blue fire.
It screeched as a pillar bursted out of the ground, hitting Iknaa's belly and sending her flying. She landed in a tree nearby which suddenly turned into a cage.
The being screeched again as reality around it became topsy turvy to put it at best.
Milana looked at the mindfuck that was going on as she turned to Sothot, who was still on his knee's.
"Sothot, this thing has your power, do something about it!" Milana said.
"...I...I'm not sure I can...if it has my powers....I don't think I can defeat it..." Sothot said.
Milana looked at the ground before she realized something.
"...You...did not admit the truth before it went berserk...maybe...telling the truth...will make it go away! You have to tell the truth!" Milana said.
"...That's...preposterous. I can't do that." Sothot said
"If you don't do it, then all of us might get hurt or worse! If you don't admit the truth, this thing might destroy reality itself! Just admit the truth once and you will never have to again. Now do it!" Milana said.
Sothot looked at Milana before looking at the being.
"...I...I...fine." Sothot sighed.
He looked at the being.
"...I...admit the truth!" Sothot yelled
The being's head turned to Sothot.
"...I...admit...Hastur...is my son...he...he is legitimately...my son...a son that I din't know that I had...and found out...that he killed people and he was dead...I....was ashamed...that I just wanted to forget that he even existed...but...nothing will be able to erase the fact that he was my son...even with the power I have, I can't change it...there, is that what you wanted me to say?" Sothot asked.
The being, still looking demonic...stopped from what it was doing and reality reverted back to the way it was. Amij was now a human again, the frogs crushing Ceygas vanished and Iknaa was no longer in a cage.
Sothot's being of truth then slowly vanished.
"...Holt shit, is it gone?" Amij asked.
"...I...think so." Kimura said.
Ceygas looked at Sothot.
"...Now you all know the truth..." Sothot said.
"...Your son was Hastur. I can't say I'm surprised. You looked just like him." Iknaa said.
"For the record i would have gotten involved, but there's a very tiny disclaimer on this list that says I can't. Plus I'm on vacation....kinda.
Anyway Sothot, as I'm sure you could have guessed, you lost the round, and as such you are eliminated.....But with that said.." Marick started as he got in front of Sothot and extended his hand out.
"Here, take my hand." Marick said.
Sothot looked at Marick and grabbed his hand and got up
"...Well, it's all over for me now. Now everyone knows that I'm the father of a intergalactic murderer." Sothot said
"...Were you even there when your son was born?" Iknaa asked
"Of course not. I din't even know he existed. My wife..declared the marriage over after I revealed my power to her and I stayed away from people since then. Years later, I found out that I have a son called Tarus...who murdered people and enslaved planets and was dead...I had to live with that for years...and it won't go away even when I'll die." Sothot said
Ceygas looked at Sigmund. Noticing that he was the only one Omni who din't step in to fight the being.
Marick just put his hand on Sothot's shoulder and looked at him.
"Sothot..the burden you bare isn't as bad as you may suspect." Marick told him.
"...Your saying that because your own flesh and blood never murdered trillions, took over galaxies and put a mark on your family name that will never fade away." Sothot said
"No that's not why I'm saying that.
Sothot I'm a guardian, believe me I'm more then familiar with the concepts of regret and burden, I have more regrets than every man women and child in the universe. But the way i see it, things aren't as bad as you might think.
Listen, sure, your son made alot of mistakes...just like any other person has. But it's important to remember, while he did do a lot of bad things, he atleast had the right intent. He wanted peace, peace for all people all world's you name it, sure his methods were bad but his heart and intentions were in the right place, he just did it the wrong way.
We all make mistakes, but you dont have to live in regret for something that you never could have known. Your not like me Sothot, you can't just see the future and know what will happen, and sometimes even that isn't enough to save someone you care about.
Sure, Hastur did die, but there is an alternate reality where he took the second chance my father gave him, and he started over, married the woman he loved and had a beautiful daughter who he raised well." Marick said as he showed this to Sothot via image video.
"If you learn anything from this, learn this. There is always a second chance, sure it takes some time, but everyone gets the chance to learn from their mistakes, you are no exception, and neither was Hastur, in reality he died happy, being reunited with his friends, in the alternate reality, he started over and lived a happy life, and has continued making up for what hes done to this very day.
So let the burden go, and be happy. Who knows, maybe one day your second chance will reveal itself." Marick said.
Sothot saw the image video and looked down
"...Eamon already told me about the alternate reality and I neglected his offer of going there...but if I accept...what should I even tell him? How could I look him straight in the face when I see him?" Sothot asked
"He will understand, trust me." Marick said.
"...I suppose." Sothot sighed.
It cuts back to the ship.
In stage 1.
The portal to Universe 4 was open and Sothot was standing in front of everyone.
"...Well, it's been a pleasure playing this game...hope we can see each other again sometime soon." Sothot said.
Sothot walked through the portal and it closed.
"...There he goes." Amij said.
"It must of been quite difficult for him to hide the shame of what his son for so many years." Iknaa said.
"Kyuubi Zi once said: you can always choose your friends, but you can't choose your own family." Milana said.
Kimura folded her arms and looked at the floor.
Marick looked at Kimura. "You okay?" Marick asked her.
"...I'm fine...I'm gonna go to my room." Kimura said, walking out of the area.
"...I'm gonna talk to her." Ceygas said, leaving the room.
Sigmund left aswell while Amij was glaring at him.
Thus Marick looked at Amij.
"Is there a problem?" Marick asked.
"Oh, nothing. Just the fact that guy is probably the biggest piece of shit I've ever met and that's saying a lot since I had Kacaj as mayor for many fucking years. Basically, he got a few guys that I liked eliminated and he is just a complete ass." Amij said.
"....How did he get them eliminated?" Marick asked
"I don't want to talk about it cause it just pisses me off and it doesn't really matter. All that matters is that he is a monster and I hope he gets what's coming to him in the next challenges. Wether I do it or someone else, I'll be okay with it." Amij said.
"Since there are 6 of us left, I assume it's gonna be the triple-part challenge next, just like in the last Tournaments." Iknaa said.
"According to the list yes." Marick said.
"I see. Well then." Iknaa said, putting her hands together and walking out.
"I'll make sure that dear friend Sigmund will get what's coming to him. And Apep will be avenged." Iknaa said before being out of the room completely.
Milana then left aswell, leaving only Amij the only one in the room.
"...Apep was her childhood pet that got mutated by Sigmund and got blown up by Gafust during the first challenge when we were finding relics." Amij explained
"I see..." Marick said.
"...Yeah...I think Ray mentioned you before the Tournament. You guys did meet with the other guardians during the Neonyte and wave crisis thing" Amij asid
"If we did I certainly don't remember it.." Marick said as he looked at his right foot and leg, the one he uses for the Curb Stomp.
"...So, can I go?" Amij asked.
"Yeah, you can go." Marick said.
Amij then walked off
Meanwhile.
Ceygas was standing in front of Kimura's door.
She knocked on the door.
"Kimura...open the door. It's me, Ceygas." Ceygas said.
The door did not open...but the sound of someone crying was heard
Ceygas raised an eyebrow before she slowly opened the door and looked inside.
"...Kimura?" Ceygas asked.
She spotted Kimura on her bed, with her hands on her face, crying.
Kimura looked at Ceygas, her eyes a bit red from the crying.
"...W-What do you want?" Kimura asked.
"...Look...I just want to talk...about...what happened today." Ceygas said, as she closed the door and locked it in case Sigmund or someone else comes in as she approached Kimura's bed.
"...There's...nothing to talk...leave me alone." Kimura said.
"...That truth being or whatever...it said the reason you work with Sigmund is to restore your mom's name and that he will stop trying to find Jasmine..is that true?" Ceygas asked.
"...Y-Yes...that's the reason why I'm working with that asswipe...but not anymore." Kimura said, still crying.
"...You...really most of loved your mom, din't you?" Ceygas asked, sitting down.
"...At first...N-not really...mom became the secretary for the Universe 1 Council...as a result, people started shitting on me because mom got herself involved with the council...dad...he is nothing but a piece of shit who cares more about himself and his position in the council than he does about me or mom...he only married her for political reasons...I was more attached to Jasmine and her family than I was with my parents...everyone knew about me being an Omnipotent of Chemicals but I was kept out of any shady stuff cause my mom was with the council at the time...and she was involved with some other group that she formed that had supplies smuggled from the labs...I used it once to help Jasmine through mom...then eventually...mom died...but I found it that she used a computer to try and save me, Jasmine and other kids from being killed by Ragnarok...she wanted to save me...maybe...she actually did care about me after all...and yet...I...I couldn't be able to apologise to her, tell her I'm sorry for some of the stuff that I blamed her for...and now I will never get the chance!" Kimura said, crying louder this time.
Ceygas approached Kimura and puts her hand on her shoulder.
"...I'm sure...she knows you're sorry...and she probably loves you and would want you to move on." Ceygas said.
"...I hope...Sigmund came to me with a proposal: I help him win the competition and he will persuade the council into fixing mom's reputation so I can stop hearing people talk shit about her...I was ready to give up the match with the guy from 10 if Jasmine wasn't there...then...Sigmund forced my hand by telling me that if I don't help him win the tie challenge and get Naan eliminated, mom's name will be left in the mud forever and he will hunt down Jasmine and the aliens she saved with every resource available to him in Universe 1...and...I got Naan eliminated. And I also got Lionel on the chopping block by having the note with the Beetle thing stick out of the box when I was the first one to pick it...it's my fault those two are gone." Kimura said, wipping her tears.
"...You should stop trusting Sigmund. He is a scumbag and needs to be taken down." Ceygas said.
"I know, I know...that's why from now on...I'll be against him. I won't help him anymore." Kimura said.
"Good...you need to show him that you are not his puppet. That you are strong and beat him at his own game. That's what you need to do next." Ceygas said.
"...Yeah...that's what I'm gonna do...thanks...um...Ceygas, was it?" Kimura asked.
"Just call me Casey, if that's okay with you." Ceygas said.
"Oh, sure, right...t-thanks...for understanding me...and also for saving me from falling into the hole." Kimura said, as she stopped crying.
"Don't mention it...though...Milana mentioned that a being of truth should vanish wether you tell the truth or not...but Sothot's...turned into that instead and din't vanish..." Ceygas said.
"...Sigmund...din't do anything to help us back there." Kimura said.
"...He most likely had a hand with what happened back there. He most likely mutated the thing and had it attack Sothot. He probably saw him as a threat and guessed that Sothot probably would of came clean which would result in a tie. To prevent that, he took advantage of Sothot refusing to admit that Hastur was his son by mutating the thing and causing it to go berserk, to make it look convenient that it turned into a monster the moment Sothot denied the truth to erase any evidence that leads to him. Atleast that's what I think." Ceygas said.
"...I guess so...Sigmund...will pay...eventually." Kimura said.
"Yeah...why couldn't you had been clean with us from the start instead of acting all tough and scary with us?" Ceygas asked.
"...I...was still angry at the time...and I din't really knew you guys that much...I thought all of you might be assholes...I was picked on a lot as a kid for being timid...so I figured being tough would get people who'd try to be mean to me to get off my back." Kimura sighed.
"...Well, you won't have to worry about the rest of us...you saw what their truth selves said." Ceygas said.
"...Yeah...a lot of shit has happened to us...that weird...truth being of your's said something about you being stuck in a prison and not being able to have a job or something like that." Kimura said.
"...Yeah...back when I was young...I wanted to become an actress...it was my dream...then, I discovered I had the power of Lightning..and after a few seconds, I got tossed into a prison because the Government was scared of me...and just before I could of fulfilled my dream...it was...a really shitty time for me back then." Ceygas sighed.
Kimura said nothing, she simply listened.
"...I got free eventually...mostly because some asshole called Erebus showed up and some guys needed our help to beat him...the original six knew him, me and the other five din't...even if I was free, it was too late for me to get a career...It pissed me off how other Omnipotents actually were successful and had normal lives. There was a kid in my Universe who had like all elements and he wasn't thrown into a prison like us, instead, he had a normal childhood. Everyone but me had nice lives." Ceygas said.
"...Sorry to hear that...I...I din't know." Kimura said.
"It's not your fault...sometimes I ask myself...is being an Omnipotent worth it? Was being locked in a alternate dimension worth it? Was there anything good at all about my non-normal life...I actually thought there was no point in being an Omnipotent...but...when I think about Garflec...Putgerr...Gurok...Kitioagan...Glexlam...Aqua...and everyone else I met after that...I figured that...being an Omnipotent...is not so awful. It was sucky what happened to me but...it wasn't as terrible as I thought." Ceygas said.
"...I'm glad to hear that." Kimura said.
"...Yeah...well...I'm glad we got the chance to...talk." Ceygas said.
"...Me too." Kimura said.
"...I wish you good luck in the next challenge...only three of us will be left after that." Ceygas said.
"...Hopefully not Sigmund." Kimura said.
"...Yeah...hopefully. Good night" Ceygas said, walking out of her room.
Kimura looked at the mirror. She looked a bit...relieved, than she was before.
Iknaa was in her room, holding a glass of water and staring at her own reflection.
She sighed
"...I've been playing this game fair and square...but honestly...it's time I just drop the act...it's not like he played this game fair at all...he used dirty tactics in order to advance to the next level...If I have to play dirty aswell to take him out...then so be it." Iknaa said.
The glass shattered into pieces when Iknaa held it a bit too tightly.
"...I will win this competition, even if I have to knock everyone out." Iknaa said.
With Milana
She was looking out the window.
"...Top 6...at last...now that Sothot is out...everthing is now fairplay...I won't let Sigmund or anyone else stand in my way of victory...Universe 12 will win this Tournament this time." Milana said.
With Amij
He was sitting on his bed, looking at his own feet.
"...Din't think I would make it so far...but now that I did...things are gonna get more harder from here...everything will be sorry and dramatic from now on...it's not even funny." Amij sighed.
With Sigmund
He was sitting on a chair, tapping the floor with his feet.
"...And so, Sothot has fallen. The most powerful threats had been eliminated, just as planned. With the triple parter challenge that's coming up next, I need to eliminate the contestants who count as threats...Iknaa and Ceygas clearly don't like me and want me, so I suppose they will go next...along with my treacherous ex-partner, Kimura. Milana and Amij will be easy to take out and the infinite Knowledge will be mine and use it for Universe 1's purposes." Sigmund said
Meanwhile, in Universe 4
Eamon was in his temple, eating what looked like desert and some hot cup of tea next to him.
Sothot entered in the temple.
"Eamon, I'm back." Sothot said.
Eamon turned his head.
"Oh, welcome back. You've been gone for quite awhile." Eamon said.
"Yeah...I ended on top 7...I suppose that's good." Sothot shrugged.
"Our Universe did win a Tournament before by...oh...I shouldn't mention that while you are here." Eamon said.
"...It's alright...I...I think I'm ready to move on now...I'm ready...to meet my son...in that timeline that you told me about." Sothot said.
Eamon turned to Sothot, looking very surprised.
"...You...mean that?" Eamon asked.
Sothot nodded.
"...Huh...looks like this tournament wasn't a waste of time then if you are now convinced to see him...I'll be right back" Eamon said.
Eamon walked out of the room while Sothot waited.
He came back, holding the Universe 10H ring.
"Here. Use it to meet your son." Eamon said, handing him the ring.
Sothot nodded as he puts on the ring and activated the portal that leads to the alternate timeline.
"...Thank you for helping me, Eamon...I'll see you again some day." Sothot said, as he went into the portal and it closed.
Eamon simply smiled in response.
Sothot was now in front of a house and looked very nervous as he knocked on the door.
The door opened and it was Alison, who's hair was now wrapped in a ponytail, was wearing a black sweater and some green pants.
"...Um, hello...can we help you?" Alison asked.
"...Hi...my name is Sothot...I'm...your father's...well, father. Basically, I'm your grandfather." Sothot said.
"...Oh...I saw your name in the Omnipotent's list and read your file...it's...nice to meet you." Alison said, looking pretty awkward.
"Yeah...nice to meet you aswell...is your father at home?" Sothot asked.
Alison nodded as she turned her head.
"Dad, come over here! There's someone who wants to meet you!" Alison said.
Tarus appeared and looked at Sothot.
"...It's you." Tarus said, surprised to see Sothot.
"...Hello...I don't think we met before." Sothot said.
"No...But I saw you in the ship...I know who you are." Tarus said.
"....Yeah...I...I'm sorry...I din't know that your mother actually gave birth to our child...I wish...I was there when it happened." Sothot sighed.
"...Well, it wasn't really your fault...but, you're here now." Tarus said.
"...Yes...I am now...Even if it's too late...I'll...try to recover the years that I lost...atleast whatever years I have left before I pass on...by spending them with my only family left." Sothot said.
"...I...appreciate hearing you say that." Tarus said, smiling slightly.
Sothot smiled as he hugged Tarus.
Alison just watched the awkward family reunion before she turned her head.
"Mom, is there an extra chair at the table?" Alison asked.
Meanwhile, in Universe 0
Aeon and Natasha were currently in the city of Emotion.
Aeon's Mystic Eye was activated, trying to find something.
"...Xuko is currently in the City of Fortune...in one of the castle's...it appears he is resting there for now...we have to get there and defeat him." Aeon said.
"Yes...but we also have to make sure that he won't get revived again." Natasha said.
"Do we seal him in the shadow world like we did with Orpheus?" Aeon asked.
"...I'm not sure if that will do the trick again...but...there is something that can keep him imprisoned for a long time...the sealing Urn from my house. It must be still there." Natasha said.
"...Are you sure you want to go there? After what happened?" Aeon asked.
"...Yes...I'm sure...It won't take too long." Natasha said.
"...Alright." Aeon nodded.
Natasha opened a portal that leads to the City of Miracles and she went in it, the portal closed.
Aeon turned around and looked at the City, sighing before he walked up to a cracked statue of Pax, sadly looking at it.
Many years ago, when Universe 0 was still active and the Omnipotents were still alive
Aeon, as a child, was standing among a crowd of children and Pax was standing in front of them.
A carriage arrived and a person stepped out, walking to Pax.
"Everything is set, my lady. We are ready to bring these children to Mako's temple." The person said.
"Excellent. Be sure to tell Mako to be gentle with these children." Pax said.
The person nodded as he gestured at the children to get in.
Most of the kids went into the carriage while Aeon remained, looking a bit scared.
Pax noticed this as she crouched down, looking at Aeon.
"Is there something wrong, child?" Pax asked.
"...I'm...I'm a bit...nervous, Miss Pax." Aeon said.
"Don't be, child. Mako is nice, he doesn't hate children. The reason why you decided to become one of his students was because you wanted to protect people from evil, correct?" Pax asked.
"...Yeah...that's right...many people got hurt during the big war...including my parents who din't make it...I don't want that to happen again." Aeon said.
Pax puts her hand on his shoulder, smiling.
"I'm sure it won't. I can tell you will become a great warrior. Who knows, maybe one day when you'll grow up, we can fight a few dragons together, side by side. Doesn't that sound fun?" Pax asked.
"...Yes...it does." Aeon said, smiling a bit.
Pax nodded before she looked at carriage
"Well, it's time you join the others. Me and my friends will pay a visit to the temple one day and we'll see each other again." Pax said.
Aeon, looking a bit more confident, nodded as he went into the carriage and the horse took off as Pax waved off at the children.
Back in the present, Aeon sighed, looking at the ground.
"...If only I was much stronger back then...you and your friends would be alive..." Aeon said.
With Natasha.
She was in the City of Miracles, standing in front of a old house
Natasha looked at the house for a few minutes till she took a deep breath and went inside.
She slowly stepped in and looked around, spotting blood spots on the wall. This triggered a bad memory for her.
Natasha, as a child, was standing in front of her parents, waiting for something.
A large crowd was seen in the background and Sephira was standing on the podium, granting some wishes
"...I'm...not sure I can do this." Natasha said.
"Of course you can, Natasha. You come from a family of sorcerer's. You will become just as great, if not, greater than us." Her father said.
"He is right. The reason we signed you up for this Academy is because we figured that it could be your opportunity to unlock your potential and make some new friends." Her mother said.
"...Okay...I...won't let you both down." Natasha said.
"You won't. Now come on, give your daddy a hug." Her father smiled
Natasha hugged her father before hugging her mother.
Another carriage arrived, waiting for Natasha to get in.
Natasha picked up her stuff and waved at her parents before she got in the carriage.
Her parents waved at her as the carriage took off.
Years later, sometime after Terra perished, trying to fight Orpheus
A seventeen year old Natasha was currently carrying the injured Aeon as they were slowly walking in the City of Miracles, which was mostly empty as meteors were raining from the sky.
"...Everyone...is gone...I don't think your parents are here." Aeon said.
"They have to be here. I don't think they ran off. They must be coming up with a spell that will help reverse everything that's going on, I'm sure of it." Natasha said.
"I hope so..." Aeon said.
Aeon and Natasha were now in front of her house.
Natasha opened the door, dragging Aeon inside.
"Mother, father, It's me, Nata-"
Her face turned pale.
She saw Xuko, standing in front of her parents, who were laying on the ground, lifeless. Blood dripping from the wall
"...M-Mother? FATHER!?" Natasha asked.
Xuko turned to the two, holding two skulls, smiling at them.
"Hello there...I see there are still a few survivors here in this city, besides these two." Xuko said.
"...What have you done to them!?" Aeon asked.
"Well, since Lord Orpheus din't reward me for messing up during the battle with the Omnipotent of Evolution, I figured I could get myself a bonus by finding whoever was left in any of these cities and to my luck, I found these two humans, who happened to be skilled at magic. Their souls will be useful to me." Xuko said.
"...You...you killed them...you...YOU MONSTER!" Natasha yelled, her face covered in tears.
She extended her arm out and shot a beam at Xuko.
Xuko raised his hand, stopping the beam, freezing it in midair
He redirected the beam towards Natasha and Aeon and they both got hit, knocking them into the wall.
"I'll give you credit for trying...even if it was futile." Xuko smiled, as he walked towards them.
"...Natasha...we have to get out of here...you are not a match to him." Aeon said.
"But...he murdered my parents!" Natasha said.
"There's nothing you can do for them, now. I can't let yourself get killed by him...please." Aeon said.
Natasha looked back at Xuko, glaring at him
"...A-...Alright! But this isn't over!" Natasha said
Natasha ran out of the house, taking Aeon with her.
"Hahahaha! It pleases me to no end to see how easily humans are frightened." Xuko grinned.
Back in the present.
Natasha just closed her eyes, sighing before she went upstairs.
She went into her parent's old bedroom, which appeared to be intact after so many years but was covered in dust.
Natasha walked to the closet and opened it.
There was a blue ancient urn with a seal on it.
Natasha picked up the urn and looked at it.
"...I will avenge you both...I promise that this monster will never walk the Earth again...I swear it." Natasha said.
Natasha walked downstairs, walking out of the house.
A portal opened next to Aeon and Natasha stepped out with the sealing urn and the portal closed.
Aeon turned to Natasha.
"Is that it?" Aeon asked.
"Yes...once we destroy his body, we can seal his soul into this. With the seal attached, he will never be able to get out of the urn." Natasha said.
"Good. We should put it somewhere safe where no one can find it and revive him again." Aeon said.
Natasha nodded.
Aeon grabbed the urn, placing it in his overcoat's pocket.
"...Now...let's get Xuko." Aeon said.
"Yes." Natasha said.
She summoned another portal that leads to the City of Fortune.
They walked into the portal and it closed.

CHAPTER 7 LAST THREE STANDING
In the ship.
Sigmund was just standing outside his room, leaning against the wall, he appeared to be waiting.
His head turned when Kimura walked out of her room and spotted Sigmund there.
Kimura simply frowned as she walked past Sigmund, trying to pretend that he wasn't there.
Sigmund's eyes were on Kimura as he followed her out of the hotel.
Milana stepped out of her room, yawning.
Iknaa walked out of her room and saw Milana.
Amij walked out of the room and walked up to the two women
"Hey girls...is there a problem?" Amij asked.
Both of them simply stared at each other.
"...Hm." Both said.
The two just walked out of the hallway and out of the hotel.
Amij sighed as Ceygas walked out of her room and looked at Amij.
"...Everyone is sort...at each other's throats. It's like they are ready to kill each other." Amij said.
"Well, three of us will go home today. It's natural for tension to happen." Ceygas said.
"I guess...still...it's not as fun as it was before now. Everything's so serious." Amij said.
"If you want to make it to the finish, you will have to be serious. Goofing off will get you eliminated. Take it as advice." Ceygas said, walking past Amij.
"...You could of said it more nicely atleast." Amij said, as he walked out of the hotel aswell.
After breakfast,
The 6 remaining Omnipotents were standing outside of the hotel, waiting for Marick
None of them were really talking to each other, they were just looking around. It was quite an awkward mood
A portal opened and Marick walked out of it, the portal closed behind him as he looked at them.
The Omnipotents looked at Marick.
"...So...we're starting the triple challenge thing?" Amij asked.
"Yeah...we are...but first..something I want to address." Marick said as he walked to Sigmund and stood right in front of him.
"I've been hearing a lot about you as of late." Marick said.
"I'm sure you did. From Jasmine nonetheless. And?" Sigmund asked.
"Well from what I've heard you're apparently a jerk, you mutated someone's pet, and got some people eliminated.
Now I'm sure Aeon wouldn't bother bringing it up and just resume the challenges...but that's not the kind of guy I am.
So...is it true?" Marick asked
"To be frank, yes. I'm sure you heard my truth self talk during the last challenge unless you weren't paying attention. But this was merely just strategy, nothing really personal." Sigmund said.
"Ah, so you gotta use cheap tactics in order to win? I see. Well i'll be sure to keep in mind the fact that skill certainly isn't your best attribute." Marick said.
"Well, I'm not playing the game to impress you. With the prize being unlimited knowledge, you gotta do what you gotta do in order to achieve something. It's now like any one of these people will put that knowledge to good use." Sigmund said.
"Well, you clearly don't know us. Now, could we just start the challenge now. My hands are sort of itchting for a fight." Iknaa said.
"Sure." Marick said as he backed up and brought the list out.
"This next section is a three part process...three of you will be eliminated today.
The first one is in Universe 9, it's Ceygas and Iknaa...you both will face your others, either by fighting them or talking to them, whoever gains control of their other wins." Marick said.
Iknaa and Ceygas looked at each other
"...Hm, I see...well, this shall be interesting then." Iknaa said.
"I guess...Just because we talk to each other a few occasions, I won't drop out." Ceygas said.
"The feeling is mutual." Iknaa said.
"Well, Liern is the Omnipotent of Others in Universe 9. He could summon their Others." Milana said.
"indeed, let's go." Marick said as Ark opened a portal and he walked through.
They went through the portal.
They arrived in front of the Omnipotent castle from Universe 9.
Lionel and Liern were at the entrance, talking to each other till they spotted Marick and the 6 Omnipotents.
"...Oh, you guys...and Sigmund. And also Iknaa." Lionel said.
"Lionel." Iknaa smiled.
"...And you're here too. Aeon is dealing with Xuko, I suppose?" Lionel guessed
"Correct." Marick said.
"Huh, alright then. I guess all of you are here for a challenge in Universe 9." Lionel said.
"Yeah. Me and Iknaa have to face our Others and whoever takes care of the Other first wins." Ceygas said.
"...Well, I can do that...but we have to be somewhere a bit away from the castle." Liern said.
"...Yeah." Lionel said.
Liern walked away and gestured at the girls to follow him and they did
Amij looked at Lionel.
"...So, how have you been doing, dude?" Amij asked
"...Just saw a demon snatching the souls of two of my friends, then went to Universe 5 with the Omnipotent of Ideas to confront him...saw a little girl kill Minkah and I after stabbed the demon, he ran off. And Now I'm supposed to wait here and pray that both Leonard and Lemures will be saved." Lionel said.
"...Oh...that's...shitty." Kimura said.
"And I could care less." Sigmund said.
"Thanks, your support is appreciated." Lionel sarcastically said.
With the girls and Liern.
He looked at Ceygas and Iknaa.
"...So...do I summon both of your Other's at the same time or one at a time?" Liern asked.
"I guess summoning both would work. One has to take out the Other first after all." Ceygas said.
Liern nodded as his eyes glew yellow.
Ceygas and Iknaa's glew yellow aswell.
And their Others appeared right in front of them.
Ceygas simply stared at her Other and the Other stared back at her.
Iknaa was glaring at her Other who simply smiled at her.
"...I guess...let the challenge begin?" Liern shrugged.
"...Hey." Ceygas told her Other.
"...You know you really can't trust any of these guys. Kimura is playing you to get sympathy. Then, when the time is right, she will backstab you in the back and eliminate you out of the competition. She is not that different from Sigmund. No one from Universe 1 plays by the rules." Ceygas's other said.
"...Well, when I'll see her go up against Sigmund, we'll see if she actually meant her words or she tricked me." Ceygas said.
Iknaa, while looking at her other, pulled her sword out of her sleeve.
"You should win this competition. You were the one locked in a prison for years, not them. You deserve to win this game more than all of them combined. Sigmund is still here even though he din't play fair. Why should you?" Ceygas's other said.
"...I'm not like him. It's useless win if I stoop to the same low as him. I play by my own rules." Ceygas said.
"Ha! Your own rules will not win you infinite knowledge. It will get you eliminated qui-"
STAB!
Ceygas and her other turned around, seeing Iknaa's sword stuck in her other's chest.
Iknaa's other, din't appear to be in pain as it looked at Iknaa, containing her laughter till she let's it all out.
"How stupid can you be!? You think you can win like this? No, here is how it's done." Iknaa's other said.
Iknaa's other pulled out the sword and cuts Ceygas's Other head off.
Ceygas flinched as she looked at her Other's body drop to the ground.
Other Ceygas stared blankly at Other Iknaa as it faded away along with the body, leaving behind a LAMDA script.
Ceygas just looked at the script before she turned to Other Iknaa.
"...You destroyed my Other before I could." Ceygas said, sounding annoyed.
"That was the idea! If I destroyed it first, then I would win and you would get eliminated! Then I will get to final 3 and dispose of my two last opponents the same way I did with your Other! Thus making me the winner of this game!" Other Iknaa said.
"...It...doesn't work like that. And you're not competing in this competition, it's your main self." Ceygas said.
"True, true...guess this means I have to get rid of her first before I can get rid of her enemies like Sigmund! She doesn't have the courage to do what it takes to win the game! Only I can! Universe 6 will be the superior Universe!" Other Iknaa said.
"N-No, don't!" Iknaa yelled.
"FOOL! YOU HAD YOUR CHANCE AND YOU BLEW IT UP! NOW IT'S TIME YOU LET ME HANDLE THINGS FROM NOW ON!" Other Iknaa laughed.
Other Iknaa's neck suddenly stretched out as her skin turned green and her face drastically changed, now it resembled a snake's, complete with a snake tongue and hissing while still retaining her hair. A Snake tail also grew out of her robe.
Lionel, sensing this from a distance, turned around.
"Crap!" Lionel said, as he rushed over to the three.
Marick, looking annoyed, took out the list and began erasing the part in which he can't get involved.
"You better kill that thing before it eats most of our oxygen!" Ceygas told Iknaa.
Iknaa, sweating, nodded as she breathed deeply and shot blue flames out of her mouth, covering her Other in flames.
The flames then vanished as her Other laughed
"We have the same gift! You can't destroy me that easily! The Gods punished anyone who defied them! Since I have the same power as those Gods, I will have to punish each and every one of you!" Other Iknaa hissed.
Liern held his hand out, attempting to make Other Iknaa disappear.
Other Iknaa turned and opened her mouth, sucking it most of the oxygen in the area.
Liern's face turned blue as he fell on the ground
Iknaa attempted to remove her Other's breath but in doing so, her Other reflected the attack against Iknaa instead, removing most of her breath from her lungs.
"A-Ah!" Iknaa gasped, her face paled.
Iknaa fell on the ground.
"LIERN, IKNAA!" Lionel yelled as he arrived at the scene.
He grabbed both of them and looked at the Other before looking at Ceygas.
"Do something about it! You have Lightning powers!" Lionel said, as he ran off while carrying Liern and Iknaa.
"I'm trying to think something but it's hard to do that while trying to prevent my breath from being taken!" Ceygas said, while holding her breath.
She then jumped as Other Iknaa spat a ball of blue fire at her.
"Foolish infidel! Now you will die for standing in my way!" Other Iknaa said
Ceygas simply shot lightning at Other Iknaa. It did not have any affect.
She then threw a bolt of lightning, stabbing her in the chest.
The Other simply laughed back.
"Is that all you got!? As I knew, you are weak in comparison to me! I am stronger than all of you combined!" Other Iknaa hissed.
"...Do you really think so?" Ceygas asked, her eyes glowing.
She raised her fist and the clouds gathered in the sky.
Lightning hits Ceygas's arm, covering it in electricity.
Ceygas looked at her arm, covered in lightning as she turned to Other Iknaa.
She suddenly reappeared in front of the Other through a flash of lightning and raised her arm.
Ceygas, with her arm charged with electricity, slashed Iknaa's Other in half literally.
The two halves landed on the ground and they faded away, leaving behind a toy snake on the ground.
Liern slowly got up, getting a bit of breath back in his body.
"...Well...that happened." Liern said.
Iknaa was still held by Lionel, her skin was a bit pale from the oxygen extraction and was concentrating on getting most of her oxygen back in her lungs.
Marick finished erasing the can't get involved disclaimer from the list.
"Alright, there, now next time things get out of hand, I will put a stop to it so this can't happen again, if it does atleast." Marick said as he went over to Iknaa "Ark!" Marick called out and Ark arrived via portal and began healing Iknaa.
Marick watched as Ark healed Iknaa.
Iknaa eventually regained most of her breath and was breathing in and out.
"Are you okay now?" Lionel asked.
"I am...seems like my own emotions went a bit overboard then expected." Iknaa frowned.
"The only thing that matters right now is that you're okay, and that it didn't get worse.
And if something like this happens again, O will put a stop to it." Marick said.
"...But I still lost...I became so focused with winning and getting back at that cretin which probably ended up fueling that thing...it's unbecoming for a pharaoh's confidant like myself." Iknaa said.
"Even if you lost, you still have your dignity intact, so that atleast counts for something." Lionel said.
"Listen, mistakes happen, you can't spend your life in regret over it.
Just be glad this didn't get worse, be glad you're alive, sure you lost and are eliminated, but things could be worse. You have your dignity intact, you're alive, and you can still seek knowledge." Marick said.
"...I suppose you have a point...um, you can let go of me now, Lionel." Iknaa told Lionel
"Right." Lionel said, letting go of Iknaa.
"So, Iknaa's out. What's the next challenge?" Kimura asked, as she and the others walked up to Marick.
"We are going to Universe 7, where Milana and Amij will be in two separate areas of a factory where they each will fight some kind of crusher robot horde, who ever kills the most wins." Marick said.
"...Well...I certainly din't put that much of a fight against those guys when I was kid." Amij said.
"Wether you win to advance to the next round or you lose in your home Universe depends on you. But do not expect me to hold back so you can win." Milana said.
"Wouldn't dream of it." Amij grinned
"Ark, open a portal and lets get this started." Marick said as he did so, marick went through.
Amij and Milana went through the portal.
Ceygas, Kimura and Sigmund walked through the portal next.
Iknaa looked at the portal and before she could go in.
"Hey, Iknaa." Lionel called out.
Iknaa turned around.
"Yes?" Iknaa asked.
Lionel walked up to her, holding the toy snake
"...Your Other dropped this after it faded away so." Lionel said.
Iknaa took the toy snake, looking at it.
"...I used to have this toy when I was a child. I had to give it away when I lost at a game against some children. My father then gave me Apep, a real life snake to replace the toy...I suppose a toy is better than no snake at all." Iknaa sighed.
"...I...guess." Lionel shrugged.
Iknaa looked at Lionel a bit before walking into the portal.
In Universe 7.
Milana and Amij were in the factory, standing in front of two open gates that lead to their eyes.
There was a giant screen turned on, with two names: Milana and Amij. It was a score screen.
"...I guess whoever scores the most wins." Amij said.
"Well, let's get started." Milana said, cracking her fists.
The two went into their areas and the gates closed.
Both were in small metallic areas.
The gates opened and two horde's of Crusher Bots walked in the two area's.
"...Well...this is gonna get messy." Amij said.
A alarm was heard and a timer appeared on the screen.
In Milana's area.
Milana already started by kicking a Crusher Bot in the face repeteadly before kicking it's head off.
She then grabbed two Crusher Bots and smashed their heads in.
The Crusher Bots started shooting at her and she dodged most of the hits.
Milana charged at the horde, getting her claws and slashed through a few of them, tearing their circuits off.
Milana's score went from 0 to 10 kills.
Amij had 0 so far.
Amij was currently flying near the ceiling, avoiding all the lasers flying at him.
"Well, this is great! How can I even destroy any of them if they keep shooting at the same time!?" Amij asked.
Amij then flew towards one Crusher Bot who wasn't shooting and kicked it in the face, knocking it on the ground.
The kick did not destroy it as it shot at Amij, the laser hitting his chest and knocking him on the floor.
Amij flew back up and used his flight power to levitate two Crusher Bots and smashed them into pieces when he launched them into the wall.
Amij now has 2 kills.
Amij then concentrated on levitating some Crusher Bots and smashed some of them into each other
Milana:10 Amij:8
Back to Milana
Milana grabbed one Crusher Bot and started smacking him into many other Crusher Bots, destroying them in the process.
Milana got stabbed by one Crusher Bot but the wound immediately closed itself, thanks to Milana's regeneration.
She grabbed the Crusher Bot and headbutted it in the face.
Amij just levitated more Crusher Bots and smashed them into the wall.
One Crusher Bot extended his arm out, grabbing Amij by the leg and knocking him on the floor.
Two Crusher Bots began punching Amij several times in the face before their heads flew out of their necks and their bodies dropped on the ground.
Amij immediately got up and started to levitate a part of the floor, causing a few Crusher Bots to fall in.
Milana:80 Amij:50
Milana was currently punching and kicking some Crusher Bots around her and smacked one Crusher Bot with her tail, sending it's head flying.
One Crusher Bot behind Milana grabbed her tail and cut's it off.
"AH!" Milana yelled.
Milana grabbed the Bot and literally ripped it apart.
She let's out a roar as she began tearing most of the Crusher Bots in the area.
Amij punched one Crusher Bot in the face.
The punch din't even affect it and Amij's injured his fist as a result.
"...OOOOW! SHIT!" Amij yelled, rubbing his hand.
The Crusher Bot grabbed Amij by the neck and blasted him with lasers.
Amij simply ripped the Bot apart by having it's limbs fly off.
He then turned to Other Bots and sent most of their limbs flying off aswell.
Milana:150 Amij:120
More Crusher Bots appeared in both areas.
Amij was getting blasted by many Bots and was sent crashing into the wall.
He looked a bit injured as he got off the wall.
"...At this rate, I'll lose! There's no way I can take all of them at the same time!...There has to be a way too..." Amij said, before he realized something.
He saw the Bots shooting lasers from their eyes at him before he doged.
"...I think I got an idea." Amij smiled.
Amij then raised his hand and one Crusher Bot's head flew out of it's neck, flying towards Amij
Amij grabbed the head and started shooting lasers from the robot's head at all the Crusher Bots
The Crusher Bots got hit and exploded.
Amij avoided the next upcoming blasts from the other robots and shot at them with lasers.
Half of the Crusher Bot army exploded.
Back with Milana
Milana was surrounded by many Crusher Bots
Milana just kicked and punched each and every one of them but two Crusher bots stabbed her while another one cuts her tail.
Many of them started shooting at Milana and she got hit.
Milana, deciding not to waste time regenerating, charged ahead at the Crusher Bots, smashing many of them and wasn't stopping.
Eventually, the alarm rang as the timer reached 0.
The final scores appear on the screen.
Milana:199 Amij:200
"Alrighty, and the winner is Amij, which means Milana is eliminated." Marick said.
Amij and Milana came out of their areas.
"SWEET! I MADE IT TO THE SEMI-FINALS!" Amij cheered, with only a few bruises on his body
Milana had some scars and two of their tails were cut during the battle.
She then focused as she clenched her fists and her wounds began closing and two new tails popped out, replacing her lost ones. Now she looked fine
"...I was so close to winning this thing too." Milana sighed.
"True but hey, loseing by just one point ain't that bad." Marick said
"...I guess. I mean, Nycali managed to get to the finale in a Tournament even if he lost. I figured that maybe Universe 12 could win this time. Oh well, 5th place probably isn't that bad." Milana said, putting her hands on her hips.
Marick nodded. "Besides, I'm sure there will be plenty more tournaments in the future." Marick said.
Milana simply shrugged at that.
"I'm gonna and pack my stuff up. I'm gonna leave after the third challenge anyways." Milana said, as she walked out of the factory.
"Speaking of which." Marick said as he brought the list out.
"The third and final challenge of the day is in Universe 8, it will be Kimura and Sigmund. You both will have to climb Resithl Mountain, whoever gets to the top first wins." Marick said as Ark opened a portal and he walked through.
Sigmund and Kimura looked at each other.
"...I'm sure you know what you have to do here." Sigmund said.
"...Yeah. I do." Kimura said, before walking into the portal, followed up by Sigmund.
In Universe 8
Once they all went through they were at the bottom of the mountain.
Marick got in front of Sigmund and Kimura.
"Alright, I want a nice clean climb to the top, no cheating no strategy's, keep it fair, and if I find out one of you is trying to cheat your way to win, you're disqualified. Aeon might let these things slip, but I won't, and since I know you like your strategy's, I'll be keeping a close eye on you." Marick said looking at Sigmund.
"...How could I even cheat? I don't have any teleportation powers or anything of the sort." Sigmund said.
"I was talking about both of you, and you don't need powers to come up with a good enough strategy in order to win.
I'm saying you're smart enough to do so, and asking that you both don't try anything.
Now then, get ready, when I say go, then go." Marick said.
"Alright fine." Kimura said, as she turned to the mountain and so did Sigmund.
"Ready...
And......GO" Marick said."
Both Sigmund and Kimura started climbing.
Amij, Ceygas, Iknaa and Milana showed up, watching Kimura and Sigmund.
"...You think Kimura can win this?" Amij asked.
"Considering how Sigmund managed to weasel his way out through every challenge and remained here...I sincerely doubt it. Kimura is working with him after all." Iknaa said.
"...I doubt that." Ceygas said.
"...Why do you say that?" Milana asked.
"...I unno." Ceygas shrugged.
They were climbing pretty fast at the same time, to the point where they weren't at the bottom anymore and it was hard for the Omnipotents and Marick to see them from up there
Both were determined to win the challenge.
As they were climbing, Sigmund looked at Kimura.
"...You know this could of been more easier if you simply followed instructions, correct?" Sigmund asked.
Kimura simply ignored Sigmund as she climbed.
"I can understand your feelings towards me, but know this: your victory will not change anything. Even if you win knowledge, it will not help clean your mother's name, or your cousin or those creatures that she saved for some foolish reason. I hope'd that you would be more smarter than her...or atleast smarter than your mother." Sigmund said.
"My mom and cousin have nothing to do with what's going on here. And it won't stop me from climbing to the top. We're done here, Sigmund." Kimura said.
"...You really are one stupid girl, aren't you? If we had to compare the marks that we both left on our Earth, I made it all the way to the top thanks to my hard work and sweat. You, on the other hand, wasted most of your time by abusing your element for cakes, cookies and sweets and sometimes arguing with your parents. Only the smartest one can use the Knowledge to lead Universe 1 to a new future. And guess who that is?" Sigmund asked.
"Not you, that's for sure. Now, fuck off and let me win this thing." Kimura said, as she climbed, going past Sigmund.
Sigmund grabbed her by her pants and she turned on. He looked at her with a pretty annoyed look.
"...I can easily destroy you and everything that you have, including Jasmine...I can turn your life into a relentless nightmare that will never end...you...can...not...win...this." Sigmund said
"...Watch me." Kimura said, before kicking Sigmund in the face as she continued to climb.
Sigmund's eyes began glowing as he suddenly began to climb really fast, climbing past Kimura.
"Oh, no you don't!" Kimura said.
Kimura began climbing even more faster, trying to reach Sigmund.
Sigmund, seeing Kimura getting closer, he ripped a branch from the mountain and threw it at Kimura.
Kimura grabbed the branch and tossed it away while holding onto the mountain with only one hand before she spotted Sigmund continuing to climb and went after him.
Both Sigmund and Kimura were now at the halfway mark and one of them is gonna reach the top soon.
Sigmund continuing climbing while he looked at Kimura with one eye.
He pulled out some rocks and threw them at Kimura
Kimura ended up getting pelted as a result but that din't stop her as she continued climbing, even if she got hit by a rock in her right eye.
She eventually reached Sigmund and grabbed him by his lab coat.
"You managed to get here thanks to your mutant power and me foolishly believing that you would honor my mother and leave my cousin alone. But now I know that will never happen. I'm taking you down, Shitmund." Kimura said.
Sigmund grabbed Kimura by her hair and smacked her face into the mountain.
"That was a pretty stupid statement to make, young lady. A statement that you will deeply regret." Sigmund said, as he continuing shoving her face into the mountain before smashing her face in.
Kimura then punched Sigmund in the face, causing his glasses to fall at the bottom.
Kimura had a scar on her forehead and cheek as she turned to Sigmund before she grabbed him by his hair and slammed his face against the mountain several times.
Sigmund's face was now full of scars but his eyes were still on Kimura, with a murderous look.
"Enjoy the fall." Kimura said.
Kimura then kicked Sigmund off the mountain.
Sigmund...looked pretty damn calm as he continued staring at Kimura as he was descending down till he couldn't be seen anymore.
Kimura looked down to make sure Sigmund was out of the woods as she sighed in relief and continued climbing.
She could see the top from up here.
"Yes, I'm so close now!" Kimura smiled.
Suddenly, a green spider web was shot from the bottom, attaching itself to Kimura and wrapping her in web, getting her glued to the mountain.
"The fuck!?" Kimura asked.
The mountain was suddenly shaking as Kimura looked down, seeing a large green hand grabbing onto the mountain, followed up by 5 other giant green hands as a large figure began climbing towards her.
It was Sigmund, who was now a giant green mutated monster, with yellow eyes on his forehead and cheeks, sharp teeth, his long blonde hair remained, wearing the remains of his lab coat and pants, horns peering out of his head, six green arms, spider legs peering out of his back and three different kinds of tails peering from his behind: a scorpion tail, dragon tail and a dinosaur tail.
"Ah, You just had to force me to use this, din't you?" The mutated Sigmund asked.
Kimura tried to get out of the web before she remembered about something else that she could with her chemical element.
The giant Sigmund then smashed his palm against Kimura, crushing her.
"Now stay there." Sigmund said.
Suddenly, some liquid slipped from the web and got on Sigmund's large hand, before it started to cover his entire arm in liquid
When he removed his hand, Kimura wasn't there anymore.
Sigmund smashed his hand into the mountain, trying to get rid of the liquid.
The moment he did, the liquid split into many Kimura's, who jumped on Sigmund and each of them started, punching, kicking and even throwing chemicals at him.
The large Sigmund shrugged off most attacks as the Kimura's got stabbed by his spider legs, some got grabbed by his arms and thrown down at the ground.
The remaining Kimura's got smacked off by Sigmund's tails till there was one Kimura left, the real one.
Sigmund grabbed Kimura with one of his arms before proceeding to crush her body.
"As I said, I can easily destroy you. You never had a chance. This is what happens to those who try to outsmart or cross me. And don't think that idiotic Guardian will disqualify me for this. You were the one who first kicked me after all. I have the perfect excuse." Sigmund said.
Kimura simply looked at Sigmund while she was getting crushed and spat in one of his eyes.
Sigmund just stared as he smashed Kimura into the mountain.
"I wish you a painful landing." Sigmund said
He dropped Kimura and she was now descending towards the bottom.
Sigmund turned his head and continuing climbing to the top in his mutated form, now getting closer.
The Kimura's that landed on the ground turned into liquid when they hit the ground and evaporated.
"...That...was weird." Milana said.
"...What's going on up there?" Amij asked.
Marick simply looked up, looking displeased.
Kimura slowly opened her eyes as she noticed that she was descending down and sighed.
"...I guess I should of seen this coming...there's no way I'll get there in time when I'll try to climb back...Sigmund will win this challenge again...and he will be up against Ceygas and Amij...he will get eliminated one way or another, he'll win the Knowledge ball...and then...he will find Jasmine...and possibly get rid of her for good..." Kimura thought in her head, as she closed her eyes.
"...You know what? FUCK THAT! I'M NOT GONNA LOSE HERE!" Kimura said, her eyes glowing.
Sigmund was almost there now.
"HEY, SHITMUND!" Kimura's voice yelled.
Sigmund sighed as he looked down and Kimura flew up to his face. She was in her Omnipotent form, with different type of liquids flowing through her glowing eyes and body.
"Your former puppet has a message for you: You're going down." Kimura said.
Sigmund, looking annoyed at this point, just launched his three fists at Kimura
Kimura flew out of the way and flew towards Sigmund's face.
She kicked one of his eyes before proceeding to punch and kick the other eyes.
Sigmund punched Kimura out of the way as he placed one of his hands on his face.
Kimura wasn't hurt as she flew to Sigmund again and headbutted him in the stomach.
Sigmund spat spider web at Kimura and when she got hit, the web melted off her body.
Kimura then looked at his spider legs and turned them into liquid and they evaporated on his back.
Sigmund grabbed Kimura with one of his hands, pulling her to his face.
"Just...give...up!" Sigmund yelled.
Kimura, simply stared at Sigmund before she vomits some purple chemical all over his face.
Sigmund wiped the substance off his face...and boils appeared all over his body.
"...What..the...what did you spit at me?" Sigmund asked.
"Oh, just a substance that has one minor side effect: Chicken pox." Kimura smiled.
"...C-C...Chicken Pox!?" Sigmund asked, sounding more baffled than shocked.
Sigmund let's go of Kimura as he started scratching his body with his five arms while he used his sixth arm to hold on to the mountain.
Kimura flew up above Sigmund as she placed her foot on his sixth hand.
Sigmund looked at Kimura...looking worried for the first time ever.
"...No." Sigmund said.
"...Enjoy the fall." Kimura said.
Kimura's foot covered Sigmund's sixth hand in acid the moment she stepped on his hand.
With the 5 arms that he used to scratch himself and the one covered in acid, Sigmund had no choice but to let go and he was now falling to the bottom.
Sigmund spat some spider web to the mountain but Kimura turned the web into liquid.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Sigmund yelled, as he continuing falling and couldn't be seen.
Kimura reverted back to her form, landed back on the mountain and continued climbing.
Kimura was the first one to make it to the top
"YES!" Kimura cheered, raising her fist
The four Omnipotents moved out of the way as the massive mutated Sigmund crashed on the ground.
"For the record, he was the one trying to pull me off the mountain and then mutated into his Omni form. So, he cheated first!" Kimura shouted from the top. It was probably so big, it was hard to even see or hear her.
"YES!" Ceygas and Amij cheered
Sigmund shrunk back down to his normal human size and continued scratching himself, looking annoyed.
Marick just walked to him and crossed his Arms and Ark opened a portal for him.
"You're eliminated and disqualified. Nice job." Marick said.
Sigmund simply got up, glaring at Marick.
"...My Universe could of benefited so much from the ball of Knowledge...and it's gonna be wasted by these...children." Sigmund said, with spite in his voice.
"Well maybe if you didn't do the thing I said not to the race would have been fair and you could have won, instead you tried to cheat lost and got what you deserved. Your universe will eventually get the knowledge it needs, it just won't get it now.
Now go." Marick said gesturing to the portal
"...Very well." Sigmund said, accepting defeat.
He looked at Kimura on the mountain before he looked at Amij, Ceygas, Iknaa and Milana.
"...Goodbye." Sigmund said as he walked into the portal
"...He is gone, good...so, I believe we two need to go back to our home's aswell." Iknaa said.
"Yeah." Marick said as two more portals appeared for them by them.
Iknaa and Milana turned to Amij and Ceygas.
"...It was a pleasure learning more about your worlds and their culture. I wish you three good luck in the finale." Iknaa said, before going in the portal.
"...I would mention a quote said by Kyuubi Zi, but honestly, I can't think of anything philosophical to say so...It was fun. See you guys in the finale." Milana said, walking in the portal.
Kimura climbed down and looked around.
"...So...guess now we're in the Semi-Finals, huh?" Kimura asked, wrapping her hands around Amij and Ceygas's shoulder, both surprised by her gesture.
"Indeed you three are.
Let's get back to the ship." Marick said as a portal opened and he walked through.
The three of them walked in and we're back in the ship.
"...So, are Aeon and Natasha gonna come back anytime soon?" Amij asked.
"No idea." Marick said as he shrugged.
"...Well, hopefully both of them will be back before the finale." Amij said, as he walked out of the area.
Kimura and Ceygas looked at each other and walked out aswell.
Back in Universe 6
Iknaa was now in her house and saw that it wasn't cleaned exactly after Sigmund paid a visit to her house after the first challenge.
She sighed as she crouched down, picking up the beads on the floor...before she noticed a cardboard box on the table, with a note on it.
Iknaa raised an eyebrow as she walked to the table and opened the box.
She looked surprised as she saw a little blue snake in the box who looked at her.
Iknaa then picked up the note and read it.
'I wasn't sure wether to put this after you win or lose the competition, so I figured now would be the best time since you are out of the competition anyways. The blue snakes are one of the more friendlier types of snakes in Universe 9. It may not be Apep, but I'm sure it will be a good companion to you.'-Lionel, Universe 9
Iknaa smiled in response, looking happy.
In the ship.
Amij was in the hotel, mostly walking around in the hallway before he heard laughter coming from Kimura's room.
"No way!" Kimura's voice said.
"That's what happened." Ceygas said.
Amij puts his ear next to the door.
Inside, Ceygas and Kimura in the room, each holding a soda can and just chatting.
"So, wait, you all sounded like chipmunks when he got pissed?" Kimura asked.
"Technically, it happened before I appeared. I'm guessing they argued about some stupid shit, then Putgerr got annoyed and they sounded like chipmunks...yeah. Then there was that one time where Segye made Gelno look like a mushroom." Ceygas said.
"Huh, cool." Kimura said, drinking some soda.
"Not really...so, now that it's only three of us left...what are you gonna do after the Tournament is finished?" Ceygas asked.
"...Well, Sigmund will still be around even if he lost...I guess I'll stop moping around and help out Jasmine however I can against Shitmund and his pals, even if I win this thing or not." Kimura said.
"I see. Good luck with that then." Ceygas said.
"...What are you gonna do after the competition is over?" Kimura asked.
"...Honestly...I don't know. Probably go back to England, either as a winner...on somewhere on third or second place. Either option will make me happy. None of us from Universe 3 never got so far...except me...then again, I got lucky with Iknaa's Other." Ceygas said.
"Yeah...well...atleast I met a few decent people so...coming here wasn't a waste of time for me." Kimura said.
Ceygas simply shrugged before she noticed some leftover candy on the bed.
"...What's with all the candy?" Ceygas asked.
"Oh...well, after I became a Omnipotent, I used my chemicals to make sweets for myself and baking cakes for special occasions. Then, I officially opened my own Sweet Shop and I made quite a lot of money from most of the kids who come there to buy candy." Kimura said.
"Huh, sounds neat." Ceygas said.
"Yup. Everyone from Universe 1 can't get enough of my cake's, mostly thanks to the chemicals I used to make them." Kimura said.
"...There were no dangerous side effects, right?" Ceygas asked.
"Eh, just a few guys with oversized dicks but besides that, nothing bad." Kimura said.
"...Ooookay." Ceygas said, drinking from her soda.
Kimura looked at Ceygas before grabbing something from her pocket.
"...We don't know exactly which one of us will go next in the semi-finals so..." Kimura said.
Kimura pulled out her phone.
"...How about a little picture. Of the two of us?" Kimura asked.
Ceygas raised an eyebrow.
"...Uh...sure?" Ceygas guessed.
"...I'm not gay if that's what you are worried about." Kimura said
"No, no, it's just...well...I'm not that much of a photo person myself." Ceygas said.
"Come on, just this photo and that's it. Now smile!" Kimura said.
Kimura wrapped her shoulder around Ceygas.
Ceygas, looking awkward, looked at the camera and put's on her best...'smile'
Kimura took the photo with her phone and looked at the photo.
"...It looks neat. Thanks." Kimura said, putting the phone back in her pocket.
"...Glad to help." Ceygas said, feeling weird.
Ceygas got up and looked at Kimura.
"...I should probably go to bed...may the best one win this." Ceygas said.
Kimura nodded.
Amij, thinking that he heard enough, walked back into his room as Ceygas walked out.
"...It's...cool that she is nicer now...just...could of been more better without the camera is what I'm saying." Ceygas shrugged to herself, before she went into her room.
Amij jumped on his bed, laying on his back, putting his hands behind his head, smiling.
"...Holy crap, I made it! I'm in final 3! Ray is never gonna believe this!...Shame that Naan couldn't be here, but oh well...If I win this...then in a way...she will win this too, right?...I'm up against Kimura and Ceygas. Both of them are tough, I shouldn't underestimate them because they're girls...hm, I wonder what Aeon and Natasha are doing...wherever they are right now." Amij said.
Meanwhile, in Universe 0
Aeon and Natasha were now in the City of Fortune.
They were in front of one of the castle's, where Xuko was hiding.
"...So, he is here, correct?" Natasha asked.
"Yes. Atleast that's what my Mystic Eye showed me." Aeon said.
"Right...we have to get in there and finish him off for good." Natasha said.
"And release the souls of the Omnipotents he captured. We can't forget that." Aeon said.
Natasha nodded.
Both approached the castle before the door opened.
Rita, the Omnipotent of Snow and May, the Omnipotent of Weather, walked out, staring at Aeon and Natasha.
"...The Omnipotents of Weather and Snow...Rita and May." Natasha said, recognizing them.
"...They aren't themselves." Aeon said, noticing the sigils in their eyes.
"...You two...look familiar...Did I see you two before?" Rita asked, her voice sounding...different.
"...Yes...you did...back those 100 years ago...you killed my parents." Natasha said, with anger in her voice.
"I killed many parents. Children included and took their souls." May said, her voice also sounding different.
"...Typical. Of course you would remember the faces but not the names of the victims, Xuko. Are you that much of a coward that you have to talk through these girls and send them to do your dirty work?" Aeon asked.
"I am merely healing myself. I am not an imbecile. You will get your chance to fight me once I'm fully healed." Xuko-Rita said.
"Though, I learned something about you two when I went back in my realm...you two defeated Orpheus. Something that not even I could accomplish." Xuko-May said.
"That's right. And you will join your master back in the pit of hate where you belong!" Aeon said, getting out his sword.
The two Omnipotents controlled by Xuko laughed at his threat before they stopped laughing, with glares on their faces.
"...Doubtful." The two said.
Rita and May raised their arms at Aeon and Natasha before they got blown away by a blizzard that occurred out of nowhere.
"You can't defeat me." Rita and May said.
Rita and May then flew into the sky, right into a cloud.
More clouds gathered, forming into a gigantic monster made out of cloud, with eight arms and four legs.
The cloud monster opened it's mouth, blowing out a Typhoon.
The Typhon sucked in some castles nearby before launching them at Aeon and Natasha.
Natasha raised her hands as they were glowing yellow.
The castles stopped in midair before Natasha levitated them aside, throwing them somewhere else.
"We can't waste our power on them. They are merely a distraction." Natasha said.
"Right...we have to destroy the monster. Then I'll release May and Rita's souls from Xuko's control and send them back in the afterlife." Aeon said.
Natasha nodded as she saw the monster coming towards, spitting large snow balls at them.
Aeon and Natasha dodged the snow balls.
Aeon jumped towards the cloud monster and cuts two of it's arms.
The monster grabbed Aeon and was about to eat him.
Natasha shot a beam at the arm and it melted, releasing Aeon.
Aeon shot beams from his sword, destroying the creature's remaining arms.
Natasha shot some energy balls, hitting it's legs, causing it to collapse on it's knees
Aeon and Natasha looked at each other before Aeon aimed his sword and Natasha aimed her hands.
Aeon shot a beam from his sword while Natasha shot a beam from her glowing hands.
The two combined beams pierce the monster's chest, sending Rita and May flying out of the monster.
The cloud monster then fell on the ground before it dissipated.
Rita and May landed on the ground.
Aeon aimed his sword at them.
"SPIRIT RELEASE!" Aeon shouted.
Aeon shot a different beam from his sword which hits Rita and May.
Cracks appeared all over them before their bodies created by the Necromancy elements shattered into dirt pieces.
Rita and May's spirits were standing there as the sigils in their eyes vanished.
"...Where...am I?" Rita asked.
"....That...Xuko...he...did this..." May said.
They both turned to Aeon and Natasha.
"...Thank you." Rita said.
"No need to thank of us. But it's not over just yet. Xuko is still alive and has the souls of your friends and other Omnipotents. We're gonna stop him." Aeon said.
"...Okay...just...please make sure our friends come back in the afterlife safe and sound." Rita said.
"Nawyen too...I think...I'm gonna visit my parents...since I din't get to see them for awhile...before I go back." May said.
Rita and May's spirits then vanished.
"...Rita and May are now free from Xuko." Natasha said.
"Yes. Now let's get inside before he sends more Omnipotents after us." Aeon said.
Natasha nodded as they went into the castle.
Someone was seen, hiding behind tree, who watched the whole fight.
The person stepped out, revealing to be...Sigmund, who was in Universe 0, for some reason.
"....How...interesting." Sigmund said.
In the castle's throne room.
Xuko was sitting on a throne, with his eyes closed as the wound on his stomach was slowly healing.
The Omnipotents of Sight and Fusion, Lance and Leah, who were standing in front of him, with his sigils in their eyes, not moving a muscle.
Xuko opened his eyes, looking angry.
"Damn. They costed me the Omnipotents of Weather and Snow." Xuko said.
"And they are now in the castle, heading towards the throne room." Lance said, using the element to see past the walls of the room.
"...Heh. Let them come. Even if I'm not as strong as I used to be, I still have my own trump card. Isn't that right, Leah?" Xuko asked.
Leah's eyes were glowing black and brown.

CHAPTER 8 THREE-WAY RACE
In Universe 0
Aeon and Natasha were currently in the castle, walking through the hallway
"We have to be careful. With the power of the Omnipotents that he has on his side, who knows what he is capable of." Aeon said.
"I know that. You could try to release his souls before he can even use them." Natasha said.
"I could...but it depends on how everything will go." Aeon said.
Natasha nodded.
As they continued walking.
Suddenly, two pillars of light struck in front of them.
The pillars vanished, revealing Leonard and Sekami, both with Xuko's sigils in their eyes.
"You two just don't know when to quit, do you?" Xuko-Leonard asked, getting out his sword.
"No. If you knew anything about guardians, they never give up." Aeon said, pulling out his own sword.
Natasha's hands began glowing, ready for the fight.
Sekami raised his hands as a green dirty cloud appeared above them.
Leonard simply teleported through a pillar of light and reappeared behind Aeon, with intent of chopping his head off
Aeon easily blocked the sword with his own.
Back in the ship.
Kimura was in her bathroom, brushing her teeth.
After she finished, she walked out of the bathroom and grabbed her jacket laying on the chair
She puts it on and looked herself in the mirror.
"...So, final 3. I don't know how the hell I managed to get here but who cares, I'm here now. And no Sigmund to mess this shit up." Kimura said.
Kimura then turned to the door and walked out of the room.
"I hope the others are just as excited as I am." Kimura said.
Amij was currently sleeping in his bed, snoring.
The sound of his snoring could be heard all the way to Ceygas's room, who was covering her eyes with the pillow she was sleeping.
"...Ugh...how did he get to final 3 is beyond me." Ceygas said.
Ceygas just got out of bed since it was pointless sleeping anyways thanks to Amij as she got in the bathroom and took a quick shower.
After she was finished, she puts on her clothes and looked at the door.
"...Today is the Semi-Finals. Might aswell make it to the finish now since I'm here." Ceygas said.
Ceygas walked out of her room and spotted Kimura in the hallway.
Kimura turned to her.
"Morning." Kimura said.
"Hi." Ceygas said.
"...So...final 3...this is cool." Kimura said.
"Yup...well, whatever the next challenge will be...I guess none of us should hold back." Ceygas said.
"Yeah. I'll do my best to beat you and Amij at whatever today's challenge will be." Kimura said.
"Not unless I beat you there first." Ceygas said.
"Yeah, right." Kimura said.
"Or unless I get there, first." Amij's voice said.
Amij walked out of his room and closed the door...in his underwear.
"If there is anyone who will win this challenge, it's me!...What are you guys looking at?" Amij asked.
"...Your undies?" Ceygas guessed.
Amij looked down and his eyes widened.
"Shit!" Amij said.
Amij went back in his room to get his pants as the girls looked at each other in confusion.
"...That kid is weird." Kimura said.
"Agreed." Ceygas said.
Eventually, Amij came out, with his pants this time.
"Alright, now I'm ready to kick butt in the Semi-Finals." Amij grinned.
"Good for you." Ceygas said, as she walked out of the hallway, followed up by Kimura.
"...Good for you...is that really what you have to say?" Amij asked.
Amij sighed as he followed them.
After eating, Ceygas, Kimura and Amij were outside the hotel, waiting for Marick.
"...So...let the best one win, I guess." Amij said.
"I made it here so far. I'll try to win this. No doubt you two will do the same" Ceygas said.
"Yup." Kimura nodded
The portal opened and Marick exited it.
"Well, here we are, the final three.
You all ready?" Marick asked them.
"I'm more ready than I was during exam week." Amij smiled.
"...Which means he is ready. And so am I." Kimura said.
"Let's get started." Ceygas said.
"Alright then." Marick said as he brought the list out.
"The next challenge is in Universe 4, you three will race to the finish line, this race will be filled with all sorts of obstacles, the two who get there first wins, whoever is in last, is eliminated." Marick said.
"Hah, that's easy. I'll just fly my way through the obstacles." Amij said, folding his arms.
"Assuming the obstacles won't be anything sharp or with fists." Ceygas said.
"I would assume the obstacles will be in such a way that the race is fair for everyone, and if not I will just use my light powers to make some." Marick said as Ark opened a portal and he walked through.
The three followed.
They arrived in front of a ancient temple, in some part of Universe 4's Earth.
It is presumed that it's the first phase of the Race and the three will have go run into the temple first.
"Alright get ready, once I say go you go ofcorse, I'll wait for you three at the finish line." Marick said
"Just say it already. We're ready enough as it is." Ceygas said.
"Okay, go." Marick said.
Amij, Ceygas and Kimura run off into the temple.
Inside, they were in a large hall, with a stone floor...and on the left and right that wasn't covered by the floor was Lava. Literally Lava
Amij, while running, noticed the Lava.
"...Uh, what's with the Lava?" Amij asked
"Maybe this is the obstacle that Vixerello talked about?" Ceygas guessed.
"Don't know about you guys, but some Lava ain't gonna stop me from making it to the finish." Kimura said, as she ran ahead of them.
Then a pillar of lava flowed through a hole in the ceiling.
"Or maybe it will!" Kimura said, her eyes widening.
Kimura immediately dodged the pillar of lava by running to the right
Amij and Ceygas did the same.
Another pillar of lava bursted through the ceiling on the left and three Omnipotents dodged that.
More pillars of lava bursted through other ceilings, each of them were on the left, right, left and so forth.
The Omnipotents had to dodge every pillar and managed to do so.
Eventually, there was a large hole in the ceiling and a pile of lava bursted it, landing on the floor as the pile was forming into a wall of lava.
"Oh shit!" Amij said.
Ceygas immediately jumped through a hole in the lava wall, followed up by Kimura and Amij before the lava wall was complete formed
As they kept running, there was a large pool of lava at the end of the floor, with only parts of the floor floating through the lava. There was another floor past the pool
The Omnipotents immediately stopped.
"You're telling me we have to jump to make it there without getting melted by lava!?" Ceygas asked.
"Well, not a problem for me. I can flyyyyyyy!" Amij said, as he literally flew above the lava pool and made it to the other floor.
"See you guys at the finish!" Amij called out as he ran.
"Oh, no, no way, Jose! I'm getting there first!" Ceygas said
She jumped on a part of the floor and thankfully din't fall in the pool as she kept jumping on every part of the floor.
Kimura looked at the lava pool, nervous as she took a deep breath and stepped back.
She ran and jumped. She landed on a part of the floor.
Kimura sighed in relief before she continued jumping.
Ceygas arrived at the other floor and ran after Amij, followed up by Kimura who arrived there next.
Amij was running before he spotted Ceygas and Kimura catching up to him and continued running but much faster this time.
He stopped at the end of the floor and looked down to see a large pool of lava and in front of him was a large wall covered in vines and the top of the wall.
"Hm...maybe I could use those vines to climb my way up there." Amij guessed.
Amij then flew past the lava pool and made it to the wall as he grabbed onto the vines and began climbing.
Ceygas and Kimura arrived next and both gulped when they saw the lava pool.
Kimura looked at the wall and saw Amij climbing.
"...Well, that seems to be our only way out of there now." Kimura said.
"...Yeah." Ceygas sighed.
Kimura then jumped to the wall and grabbed onto a vine and began climbing after Amij
Ceygas took a deep breath before she jumped aswell, grabbing the vine and began climbing.
Amij got to the top and continued running.
Kimura and Ceygas were climbing fast before they heard the sound of...water.
"...The hell is that noise?" Kimura asked.
"...How should I-" Ceygas said.
A waterfall bursted out of the wall and the girls got caught in it and were about to fall in the lava.
Ceygas immediately grabbed onto a vine and Kimura grabbed onto her hand, preventing them from falling.
"Holy shit! That was a close one!" Kimura said.
"...Um...yeah..and now we can't get there to the top thanks to the stupid waterfall. Damnit, Amij will get there before us!" Ceygas said.
Kimura looked around and spotted a hole in the wall on the left that wasn't covered by lava or waterfall.
"Maybe not. There is a hole in the wall. Maybe it's a shortcut?" Kimura guessed.
"I guess. Let's find out." Ceygas said.
Kimura and Ceygas climbed their way to the left by using the vines as they jumped in the hole.
They were in a corridor and at the end of it, there were two pathways that lead to somewhere.
"...Two paths...great" Kimura sighed.
"I'm guessing one of those will lead us to the finish." Ceygas said.
"I'm taking the one to the right. Have fun with path on the left." Kimura said, as she began walking through the corridor and took the path on the right.
"...If you insist." Ceygas shrugged as she took thee left path.
Both of them arrived in front of two staircases.
They climbed on the stairs, not knowing where it would take them.
With Amij, he arrived at a staircase aswell.
"Huh, stairs...Maybe it will take me to the finish line?" Amij guessed.
Amij climbed the stairs.
He arrived outside...standing in front of a wall made out of grass and there two paths on his left and right.
Amij looked around, confused.
"...Where the heck am I?" Amij asked.
Amij flew up to see where he was...and he appeared to be in a Labyrinth made out of grass. It was so long, he couldn't see the exit or the finish line.
Amij descended down, sighing.
"...Guess I'll have to find my way out of here...somehow." Amij said, as he tried one of the path's.
With Kimura
The stairs also took her outside but she was standing on a plain field.
Kimura simply looked around the field before she spotted a sign on the ground, pointing forward.
'Finish line-100 miles'
"...Well...definitely not gonna walk my way to the finish." Kimura said.
Kimura grabbed the speed chemical from her jacket and drank it.
She tossed the vial away as she ran with super speed, going to the path the sign pointed to her.
With Ceygas
She found a trapdoor at the end of the stairs and she opened it.
She peered her head out, the stairs lead her...to another temple.
Wasn't Eamon's, it looked like a typical Japanese temple.
There were no windows, there was another set of stairs in front of her and a sliding door right next to her on the left.
"...Where the fuck am I?" Ceygas asked herself.
Meanwhile, in Universe 0
Aeon blocked another one of Leonard's stabs before stabbing him in the chest.
The stab did not seem to hurt him at all as Leonard teleported again through a pillar of light and appeared above Aeon, ready to stab him.
Leonard got blasted by one of Natasha's beams, sending him crashing in the wall.
Natasha was coughing and sneezing at the same time thanks to the green sickness mist that was covering the area thanks to Sekami. She also had a fever.
Aeon aimed his sword at Leonard.
"SPIRIT RELEASE!" Aeon shouted.
Aeon shot a beam at Leonard.
He got hit and his body shattered, releasing his soul and it vanished, going back to the afterlife.
Aeon turned around.
Natasha, while coughing, shot a energy ball at Sekami.
Sekami avoided the ball as he shot a beam from his staff.
Natasha got hit and she looked completely ill, landing on the floor.
"NATASHA!" Aeon yelled.
Aeon then charged at Sekami, slashing his staff in half before stabbing him in the chest.
Aeon shot another beam, piercing through his chest and sent Sekami flying into the wall.
Sekami slowly got up, despite having a huge hole in his chest. It appears people resurrected by the Necromancy element aren't easy to kill.
"SPIRIT RELEASE!" Aeon shouted
The spirit release beam hits Sekami and his body shattered like Leonard's.
His soul was released from Xuko's control and it vanished.
The green sickness mist vanished and Natasha looked much better now as she got up.
"Are you okay?" Aeon asked, checking up on her.
"I'm fine...We have to hurry. Xuko shouldn't be that far now." Natasha said.
Aeon nodded as both began running to where the throne room was.
Xuko was on sitting on the throne, patiently waiting.
Aeon kicked the door open as he and Natasha walked in.
Xuko opened his eyes, smiling at the two.
"Ah, took you two long enough. And I was just getting bored waiting." Xuko said.
"Xuko...I never thought I would have to see your hide again. How did you come back to life?" Natasha said, looking very pissed off.
"Long story. It really doesn't matter. What matters is that thanks to your Omnipotent friends, I lost most of my army of soul warriors. But now I have a new collection, a collection of the most powerful people who ever existed. Once I get them all, I will become more powerful than Orpheus ever was." Xuko said.
"That's not happening. You are not gonna ruin the lives of billions of people from other Universes like you did with Universe 0." Aeon said.
"Hmph, you think I had a choice there? I was forced to follow Orpheus's commands." Xuko said.
"Forced? I don't remember someone forcing you to kill my parents and take their souls." Natasha said.
"You have no idea what I've been through, do you? Let me tell you a little history about my world. You see, there are two types of demons out there: demons who live on their own and demons who come from powerful families. The top four powerful clans in the demon realm are the Arcana, Tartarus, Khio and Ganymede, in that order. My family, the Ganymede clan, had to think of a way to increase their reputation by getting on the good side of one of the clans. They did so by selling out the prodigy of the clan to the Tartarus bastards. And guess who that unfortunate person was?" Xuko asked.
"You. Obviously." Natasha said.
"That's right, it was me. I was special since my magic affects anything related to the dead and spirits. And so, my family gave me away to the Tartarus Clan as a way to make an alliance with them. As a result, I became a slave. I had to collect souls for them for a living instead of using the souls for my own purposes, I was forced to do Orpheus's dirty work because he couldn't bother getting his own hands dirty. You two have no idea about the humiliation I was put through. And it's all because of my idiotic family!" Xuko said.
"That's a shame and all...except we don't really care. You had a choice in all of this, everyone has a choice. You could of simply refused to go along with Orpheus's plan of killing the Omnipotents and asked for their help to defeat Orpheus. But instead, you went along with this scheme, got many people killed and triggered many events as a result of your actions." Aeon said.
"Tch, an alliance with the Omnipotents would of barely made a difference since Orpheus was the most strongest demon alive...that was, till you popped up, Guardian. I'm surprised that a mere mortal like yourself was able to beat the bastard and seal him away forever. I'm impressed...in fact, maybe you could still be useful to me. How about this, you help me get all the elements of the Omnipotents and with the power that I'll have, I'll restore Universe 0 back to the way it was. As long as you help me-" Xuko said.
"Absolutely not. I'm not that stupid to fall for your deals. It's over for you, Xuko." Aeon said.
"...You're gonna die. Right here, right now." Natasha said, as her eyes were glowing.
Xuko spat on the floor.
"Fools. You're just as stupid as those two women that I fought back those centuries ago. Fine. I will gladly paint these walls with your blood before I continue my hunt." Xuko said, as he got up.
"We defeated Orpheus. You aren't as strong as you used to be. You think you have a chance?" Aeon asked.
"...Who said I would do it alone?" Xuko asked, smiling
Xuko opened his coat, launching the skulls containing the essence of the Omnipotents in the air.
He launched beams at the skulls, releasing the Omnipotents.
The Omnipotents who landed on the floor were Ken, Ini, Athena, Kamest, Minkah, Lemures, Lance, Leah and Nawyen, each of them had Xuko's sigils implanted in their eyes.
"NOW, OMNIPOTENT OF FUSION, GIVE ME THE POWER OF THESE MORTALS SO I CAN DESTROY THE TWO CRETINS WITH MY OWN BARE HANDS!" Xuko yelled.
Leah's eyes began to glow, along with all the Omnipotents.
Aeon and Natasha shot beams at Leah but a magic sphere appeared around Xuko and the Omnipotents, preventing the two from interrupting.
The Omnipotents flew into each other, fusing together into one orb with different colors flowing through it.
The Omnipotent orb flew towards Xuko as it united with his body and Xuko's eyes started to glow.
"Yes, YES! SO THIS IS THE POWER OF THE GODS! IT IS...IT IS...INCREDIBLE!" Xuko laughed.
Xuko began to glow brightfully red, shattering the sphere and knocking Aeon and Natasha on the floor.
"Shit, he used Leah's element to fuse himself with the Omnipotents!" Natasha said
"...This....is not good." Aeon said, slowly getting up and helping Natasha get up.
The glowing stopped.
Xuko was standing there, shirtless with a muscular physique, a red cape made out flames, his skin was yellow-ish and wearing his dark blue pants.
Xuko opened his eyes, both glowing red as he smiled at Aeon and Natasha.
"Now, Guardian. Show me the power that you used to defeat Orpheus." Xuko said.
Aeon's Mystic Eye activated, aiming his sword at Xuko.
"With pleasure." Aeon said.
Aeon shot a massive beam from his sword at Xuko
Xuko stood still as his stomach changed to metal, the beam got repelled upon hitting the metal and it hits the wall instead, making a massive hole.
"Neat. Now my turn." Xuko said.
He shot two glowy aura hands from his eyes, the hands grabbed Aeon and Natasha and smashed them into the ceiling.
Xuko then had the hands smash Aeon and Natasha into each other before dropping them on the floor.
Natasha slowly stood up, as she aimed her glowy hand at Xuko.
Suddenly, an aura version of Natasha appeared in front of her, grabbing her by the neck and started to choke her out.
Aeon got up and sliced the aura's head off before he lunged at Xuko, attempting to stab him in the chest.
Xuko's chest turned into metal, making Aeon's attack futile.
Xuko's hand turned into metal aswell as he punched Aeon in the face, knocking him into the wall.
Natasha just shot a magic beam at Xuko.
Xuko shot a green blast from his palm, piercing through the beam and hitting Natasha and knocking her on the ground. The blast left a few marks on her body.
Aeon got off the wall, looking at Xuko with his Mystic Eye, attempting to do the crow trick that he pulled on Orpheus those years ago so then he can appear behind Xuko and use Spirit Release on him to free the Omnipotents.
Suddenly, Aeon's vision became blurry, as he couldn't see anything and neither could Natasha.
"Ah! I can't see!" Aeon said.
Aeon reopened his eyes, only to find Xuko not there. He vanished out of sight.
"Where is he!?" Aeon asked.
STAB!
A sword pierced through Aeon's chest as Xuko was right behind him, his sword was made by the Artefact element.
"KAH!" Aeon yelled, spitting out blood.
"AEON!" Natasha yelled.
Natasha blasted Xuko away from Aeon and when he hits the wall, he shattered into glass pieces.
Natasha ran to Aeon, checking up on him.
"Are you okay!?" Natasha asked.
"...It's...nothing." Aeon said, he looked hurt as he tried to heal himself.
The glass pieces then levitated off the ground and flew to the two.
The glass pieces stabbed both Aeon and Natasha, before it proceded to cut them both up.
Natasha used her magic to levitate the shards out of their bodies and threw them against the wall. Both Aeon and Natasha were bleeding from the stabs.
The glass pieces reformed back into Xuko, folding his arms.
"Really, is this all you got? I expected more from the man who took down Orpheus." Xuko smiled.
"...You...haven't seen anything...just yet!" Aeon said.
Aeon aimed his sword at Xuko
Natasha then aimed her glowy hands at him.
Both shot their combined beam at Xuko.
Xuko, through a combination of Artefact and Glass, created a mirror which deflected the beam and hits Aeon and Natasha instead, knocking them on the floor. The blast severely damaged them.
Xuko then threw the mirror on the ground, shattering into many glass shards.
He raised his hands as the shards lifted and began flying into each other.
The shards formed into 4 Xuko's. One Xuko's hands were glowing with green energy while a Xuko was glowing with Aura, a Xuko's body was covered in metal and the other looked like a anthropomorphic Jaguar.
"...This...is really gonna hurt." The Injured Aeon said.
Back to the race
Amij was currently walking through the labyrinth, trying to find the exit.
He was following a path that he decided to take and...it took him to a dead end.
"...Well. Back to the start and take the other path." Amij sighed.
Amij then walked out of there.
With Kimura
It cuts to Eamon, who was sitting at a table, next to the large tree, drinking tea.
Till it was interrupted by a super fast Kimura who ran past him, her speed knocking Eamon off his seat and spilling tea all over him. And it was hot tea nonetheless.
It cuts to a old looking bald person with black skin and moustache, Cyrus, the Omnipotent of Age, wearing a black robe, holding a cane, trying to walk across the street till Kimura ran past him, knocking him on the ground.
The old man turned, raising his fist.
"Damn kids! Din't your parents taught you anything about cutting off old people while they are trying to cross the street!?" Cyrus asked.
It cuts to Reginald and a brown skinned lady with long brown hair, Christine, the Omnipotent of Hope, standing outside city hall and discussing.
Than Kimura ran past them, causing Reginald to jump in Christine's arms and she collapsed on the ground due to how heavy he was.
Kimura continued running before she stopped as she saw another finish line sign pointing to the left, mentioning that Kimura has a few miles before the finish line
"Aright, I should make it there in time." Kimura said.
And she ran off with super speed towards that direction.
Back to Amij
He was standing in front of 5 paths.
He decided to take one path and walked to wherever it was taking him.
It was a really long walk and he ended up...
...At another dead end.
Amij looked visibly annoyed as he walked back, trying another path once more.
With Ceygas
The first thing she did was open the slide door next to her.
It lead her to a empty room space with another slide door to the right.
She opened that door...and another empty room with no doors.
"...Well, this was pointless." Ceygas said.
She walked out, closing the door and walked out.
She climbed down the stairs she was standing in front of and there was another slide door on the left.
Ceygas tried to open the door...but it din't budge.
"...Okay, why isn't it opening?" Ceygas asked, looking irritated.
Ceygas then looked at the door before she looked up, seeing that the first slide door was still which probably was the reason why the door wouldn't slide over.
"...Oh, I get it, it's some sort of a puzzle game...this is dumb." Ceygas said.
Ceygas then climbed up and closed the door before going back down.
She tried opening the door and it worked this time as she went inside.
Ceygas turned right and there was another slide door in front of her and another slide door right next to it.
She opened the slide door in front of her and it worked.
Inside was yet another slide door.
Ceygas, annoyed, went to the slide door and tried opening it. It din't work. It was blocked by possibly another door.
"...Okay, I'm done." Ceygas said.
Ceygas then summoned a lightning bolt and cuts through the slide door before going in.
There was a staircase at the end of the hall.
"Goodie, more stairs." Ceygas deadpanned, as she climbed them.
It took her outside, near a road, utility poles nearby with a sign that was pointing left.
'Finish Line-70 miles'
Ceygas looked around.
"...So, I ended up from a ancient temple covered in lava, to another temple with sliding doors...to a street...I don't get how this Universe works." Ceygas said.
Ceygas then looked at the sign before looking at the utility poles.
"...I think I found myself a shortcut." Ceygas smiled.
Ceygas, zapped herself into the wires, going through each utility pole, towards the direction the sign pointed to her.
Back to Amij
After taking one path from 5 different paths, then having to choose 1 out of 3 paths and 1 out of 2 paths, then having to walk the long path he....
Found himself in front of another dead end.
At this point, he was fed up.
"Yeah, fuck this labyrinth." Amij declared.
Amij raised his hands and the entire labyrinth flew towards the sky before it was tossed away, landing who knows where.
Amij then looked around and spotted a sign from a distance, pointing forward.
'Finish Line-120 miles'
"...Well, guess I'm flying my way to the finish instead." Amij said.
Amij then flew up and floated to where the sign pointed him at.
30 minutes later.
It cuts to a large orange field, with a single path on it.
Marick was there, at the finish line.
Kimura appeared on the field, still running as she saw the finish line.
"Yes! It's there! Finale, here I-...I..." Kimura said, as she noticed that she was slowing down a bit.
Kimura's speed affect was slowly wearing off.
"No, no, not now when I'm so close!" Kimura said.
The speed effect was now gone and Kimura was tired out, panting for breath.
Amij suddenly landed in front of her.
"Ha, I'm going there first!" Amij said, as he ran ahead.
"H-hey!" Kimura said, going after Amij
Ceygas jumped from a utility pole nearby, kicking Amij on the ground before she began running very fast.
Amij immediately got up.
"Oh, no you-"
Kimura then jumped on Amij, pinning him to the ground.
She then got up, running after Ceygas.
Amij grabbed her leg and she fell on the ground, right on her face.
Amij then ran past as Kimura immediately got up and started running again.
It cuts to Marick at the finish line.
The first one to get there was...Ceygas!
"...Huff...huff...I'm...I'm first...I'm going to be in the finale!" Ceygas said, smiling.
The next one to arrive was...Amij!
"...Did...Did I make it in time?" Amij asked, out of breath.
And finally Kimura arrived, before she stopped, seeing both Ceygas and Amij.
"...Shit." Kimura sighed, folding her arms.
"Alright, Ceygas and Amij go to the finale! sadly Kimura, you are eliminated." Marick said.
"...I can clearly see that. No need to rub the salt in my wound." Kimura sighed.
Ceygas turned to Kimura.
"...At the very least, you are okay now, right?" Ceygas asked.
"...Yeah. I'm more okay than I was before I showed up here anyways...Thanks, Cas." Kimura said.
"...Don't mention it." Ceygas said.
Marick looked at Kimura then looked around
"I have a feeling Aeon will be back soon....so before he get's back.." Marick started as his prophets eye was visible.
The Eye looked at Kimura, Ceygas and Amij
"I won't get to stick around to see how this all ends, but until they arrive I'm still host. So with that said.." Marick said as he walked to Kimura.
"I can't give you some magical book of unlimited knowledge...but I can atleast give you an answer to atleast one question, whatever you may want it to be...it's the least I can do, third place deserves something." Marick said
"...I already know much about Mom and her F so...how does one exactly become a guardian? Like Jasmine did?" Kimura asked.
"Truth be told, there are many different ways someone can become a guardian. Guardians are able to care about people and things more then any normal person can.
It depends on the person really, if you love something or someone enough, then it just takes the right situation to become one, and once you do, you gain the ability's as well." Marick explained.
"...So...she became a guardian...because she cared about the Kheog and the aliens that were captured so much?" Kimura asked.
"Yup, a guardian gets their power from the ones they love and how much they care about someone or something or people or places and so on." Marick said.
"...Huh, I see. I guess it explains why she went into hiding for many years with those creatures...I did help her out that one time by taking advantage of mom's position with the F group to send her a few supplies for those aliens." Kimura said.
"indeed." Marick said as he walked to Ceygas and Amij
"I don't know which one of you will win, so I will answer a question for both of you, as whoever is second also deserves something, remember it can be anything, my prophet's eye can find the answer." Marick said.
"...I...really don't have any questions." Ceygas said.
"...Who were my parents and what happened to them?" Amij asked.
Marick used his Prophets Eye to find out who were Amij's parents and what happened to them.
The name of Amij's father was Franklin Curtis, a aircraft pilot and his mother was Jean Bauer, a waitress
Both of them died in a car crash when Amij was a baby and then he was moved into an orphanage.
"Your fathers name was Franklin Curtis, a aircraft pilot and your mother was Jean Bauer, a waitress
Both of them died in a car crash when you were a baby and then you were moved into an orphanage. I'm sorry Amij." Marick said
Amij looked at the ground, folding his arms.
"...So...my full name is Jim Curtis. Atleast now I know...it really sucks...but...atleast I still have Ray...so, I'm not completely alone at least." Amij smiled slightly.
"And now you know what happened, most people don't get that closure, thankfully you're one of the few." Marick said as a portal opened back to the ship.
"...Well, thanks dude." Amij said, before he walked into the portal.
"...Um, yeah. See ya...some other time, I guess." Ceygas said, walking into the portal.
Marick walked into the portal aswell, and a portal opened for Kimura
Kimura looked at the portal and genuinely smiled for the first time.
"...I'll root for you all the way, Casey." Kimura said, before she walked into the portal and it closed
Meanwhile, in Universe 0.
Aeon and Natasha were getting their shit wrecked to put it at best as they crashed through a wall and landed outside the throne room.
The 5 Xuko's laughed as the clones fused back into Xuko.
Aeon and Natasha slowly got up, both heavily bleeding from the beatdown as they marched back into the throne, dropping on their knee's.
"...This...isn't...over." Aeon declared.
"Hahahaha! Look at you, you have one foot on the floor and the other in the grave. If I can manage to beat the one who killed Orpheus, just with the essence of the few Omnipotents that I harvested...then no one will have a chance against me. Once I collect all the souls, I will become the new Entity that was created by the elements! I will gain what no other could be able achieve: Ultimate Godhood! I will conquer all the realms and make the demon clans bow before me, before I shrink them to the size of rats and crush them with these hands! I...will...Forever!" Xuko laughed.
Natasha looked at Xuko, gritting her teeth.
"...Don't...get...cocky...you...are not a God, you are a monster. A monster who will go back to hell!" Natasha yelled.
Natasha shot a powerful magic beam at Xuko.
Xuko just blocked it with his own palm as he yawned.
"Now you are just trying too hard." Xuko said.
He repelled the beam before he looked at the ceiling as it turned into glass.
Xuko clenched his fist and the ceiling broke into glass pieces and went flying towards Natasha.
Natasha couldn't find the strength as she was about to be impaled by shards.
"NATASHA!" Aeon yelled.
He jumped at Natasha, shielding her as the shards stabbed him instead.
Aeon collapsed on the floor.
"AEON!" Natasha yelled.
She conjured up a sphere around herself and Aeon, protecting from Xuko.
"Ha! This is just priceless!" Xuko grinned.
Aeon slowly looked at Natasha.
"...N-Natasha...we...can't give up just yet...we have...to destroy him." Aeon said.
"...But how? He became invincible the moment he fused with the essence of the Omnipotents!" Natasha said.
"...The old saying goes: fight fire with fire...if he had to fuse to knock us around...then it's our turn...do you remember what Mako told us? About the technique that only Guardians can use during a fight against a very powerful opponent?" Aeon asked.
"...You mean...The Fusion Evolution technique?" Natasha asked.
Aeon nodded.
"Master Mako said that once two people fuse, they become an unstoppable force that can't be beaten. Xuko is powerful because he fused with the souls. But with the two of us united...we might stand a chance. We can both use the Mystic Eye at the same time to trick him, and then release the souls." Aeon said.
"...Alright...let's do it then." Natasha said.
The sphere turned into glass and shattered before Aeon and Natasha got blasted by another green blast, knocking them on the ground
Xuko walked up to them, looking down.
"Well, can't say this has been fun, but it helped taste the power of a Omnipotent. And it's quite addictive. I thank you both for pushing me to use these powers. I will make great use of these gifts." Xuko smiled.
Aeon slowly held Natasha's hand before Xuko grabbed him by his neck.
"So, any last words you wish to share before I sent you and your companion to your resting place?" Xuko asked.
"...Yeah...FUSION EVOLUTION!" Aeon shouted.
A gold sphere appeared around Aeon and Natasha, knocking Xuko on the floor.
Xuko got up, attempting to turn the sphere into glass, but it din't work.
Inside the sphere.
Aeon and Natasha found themselves in their own Evolution realms mixed together.
Aeon's was the City of Emotion, it looked the way it was many years ago, Pax and Mako could be seen in the background.
Natasha's was the City of Miracles, with a large crowd standing around Sephira and her parents could be seen aswell.
Natasha looked at her parents before she turned her head away in sadness and looked at Aeon.
Aeon looked at Natasha and he nodded as he grabbed her hand and they started to glow.
The sphere shattered, revealing what appeared to be Natasha, with long black and brown hair, wearing a red sleeveless dress with a cravat, her left eye was purple while the right eye showed the Mystic Eye, glowing, staring at Xuko with the eye.
Xuko looked at the fused being and smiled.
"Ah, I see, you two fused together like I did...hm, interesting. But two souls compared to 12 combined souls is nothing." Xuko smiled.
Nataeon simply stared, not saying anything.
"Hm, the silent type. Fine, let's put an end to this fight so I can move on from here." Xuko said.
Xuko sent a large green and aura blast towards Nataeon
Nataeon brought out Aeon's sword, shooting a large beam which pierced Xuko's Omni beam and hits Xuko, smashing him through the wall
Xuko was surprised by this before he immediately got up.
Nataeon appeared in front of Xuko, stabbing him in the chest, the sword bursted through his back.
"GAH!" Xuko yelled.
Xuko ripped the sword out of his chest as a sword appeared in his hand and attempted to stab Nataeon.
Nataeon dodged and aimed the sword at Xuko's head.
Xuko's ducked, the sword barely missing him as it cuts one of his hair horns.
Xuko puts his hand on his hair, looking pissed off.
He grabbed Nataeon by her neck, his fist turning into metal and punching her into the ceiling.
Nataeon landed on her feet, staring at Xuko once more.
Xuko sent a large green and aura blast towards Nataeon
Nataeon brought out Aeon's sword, shooting a large beam which pierced Xuko's Omni beam and hits Xuko, smashing him through the wall
Xuko got up...before he had a sense of Deja Vu to put it at best, as this happened already.
"...Wait...this...just happened a moment ago." Xuko said, sounding confused.
Nataeon appeared in front of Xuko, stabbing him in the chest, the sword bursted through his back.
"GAH!" Xuko yelled.
Xuko ripped the sword out of his chest as a sword appeared in his hand and attempted to stab Nataeon.
Nataeon dodged and aimed the sword at Xuko's head.
Xuko's ducked, the sword barely missing him as it cuts one of his hair horns.
Xuko puts his hand on his hair, noticing that it wasn't a second hair horn she cut. It was the same hair horn.
"...This...is impossible! Is Time repeating itself!?" Xuko asked.
Nataeon simply stood in front of Xuko, waiting for his next move.
Xuko glared at Nataeon, before he smiled.
"...Ah, I see, this is just one of your guardian tricks, right? Trying to trick me by pulling a Time Loop sort of thing. Well, now it failed since I know now what's going on!" Xuko said.
Xuko stabbed Nataeon in the chest this time.
When he did that, Nataeon dispersed into crows and flew away from him.
The crows formed back into Nataeon, still looking at Xuko with the Mystic Eye.
Xuko got up, sending a large green and aura blast towards Nataeon
Nataeon brought out Aeon's sword, shooting a large beam which pierced Xuko's Omni beam and hits Xuko, smashing him through the wall .
Xuko got up, looking baffled and frustrated by what's going on.
"...No..what's going on!? Why is everything repeating itself!?" Xuko asked
Nataeon reappeared in front of Xuko.
"...You brought this upon yourself the moment you came back to life. Now you are forever trapped in this time loop...and you can never get out...unless I wish to." Nataeon said.
Xuko's eyes started to glow, looking very mad.
He shot Nataeon in the chest with a green blast, sending her crashing into the wall, hoping that it will release him from the time loop.
Nataeon got up, staring at Xuko again with the Mystic Eye.
"Go ahead, repeat the same scene over and over again." Nataeon said.
"...You...YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOU!" Xuko roared, shooting yet another green blast.
As the blast was going towards Nataeon, it zooms into her Mystic Eye.
When it zoomed out, Nataeon was standing there...watching Xuko blasting a wall into pieces, the entire throne room was entirely destroyed. It appears they used the Mystic Eye to trap Xuko into a illusion that makes him think that time is looping itself over and over again but it wasn't and all he did was destroy the room around him, not even a scratch on Nataeon.
While the illusion was still going on, Nataeon's left eye and hands glew yellow, aiming them at Xuko.
Chains bursted out of the floor, attaching themselves to Xuko.
This was enough to interrupt the illusion as Xuko looked at himself before he looked at Nataeon, gritting his teeth.
Nataeon aimed Aeon's sword at Xuko, it was charging up.
"SPIRIT RELEASE!" Nataeon yelled.
The beam was shot and it hits Xuko.
Slowly, one by one, each soul of the captured dead Omnipotents flew out of Xuko's body, his eyes widening in response.
"No! My essence! My new powerful essence! YOU CAN'T TAKE IT AWAY FROM ME!" Xuko yelled.
All the souls flew out of Xuko's body and they vanished, returned back to their afterlives.
Xuko changed back to his regular form as the chains vanished and he collapsed on the floor.
"...No...I'm...I'm...WEAK AGAIN!" Xuko yelled.
Nataeon aimed Aeon's sword at Xuko.
Xuko looked frightened, raising his hands.
"No, please! Have mercy!" Xuko yelled.
"...You din't show mercy to my parents, the Omnipotents and the people that you killed...why should we show you mercy at all?" Nataeon asked.
Nataeon then shot a massive beam from the sword, going towards Xuko.
The beam engulfed Xuko as he began screaming in pain.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAH! NOT AGAIN!" Xuko yelled, as his body disintegrated.
The beam stopped as Nataeon looked forward.
The only thing that remained of Xuko was a floating flame. It was his essence.
The essence then took the form of a fire-y version of Xuko, standing there, glaring at Nataeon.
"...Damn you...DAMN YOU!" Xuko yelled.
Xuko's spirit flew towards Nataeon.
Nataeon pulled out the ancient urn and opened it up.
A gust of wind flew out of the urb, sucking Xuko's spirit right into it.
Nataeon immediately closes the urn with the cork and puts the seal on the urn, trapping Xuko in the urn completely.
Nataeon sighed in relief as they defused back into Aeon and Natasha again.
Natasha was holding the sealing urn, angrily staring at it as it was shaking and Xuko's scream of anger was heard.
"...Just like master and his servant, both of you get to be locked in a tiny dark prison for the rest of eternity...it's fitting." Natasha said.
Natasha turned to Aeon with the urn.
"...We should put this somewhere where no one can ever find it." Natasha said.
"And make it sure that no one will be able to get it even if they find it...And I have an idea where to hide it." Aeon smiled, looking at the Urn.
Back in the ship.
Ceygas was currently sitting on the hotel roof, looking at the stairs through a window on the ship ceiling.
"Enjoying the view?" Amij asked.
Ceygas turned, looking at Amij who was floating next to her before looking at the stars.
"...I once dreamed of being right in front of those stars...and grabbing one of them with my own hands...that dream doesn't feel that special now since I can pretty much go to space anytime and look at them all day long." Ceygas said.
"Well, atleast you fulfilled that dream, right?" Amij asked, sitting down.
"...I guess one successful dream is great compared to the billions of dreams that were shattered when I became what I am today." Ceygas sighed.
"...Honestly, being an Omnipotent isn't that bad. If it wasn't for my power...I'd be nothing right now. Just a average kid getting shit thrown at him by everyone in an orphanage. So, for all that happened, being an Omnipotent is something to be proud of, despite the bad stuff that happened." Amij said.
"....Well, that's your opinion, really....do you feel any better...knowing about your parents?" Ceygas asked.
"...It still hurts a bit inside...I can barely remember their faces back when I was a baby...but, I'm sure their proud of me...wherever they are." Amij said.
Ceygas nodded before she got up.
"...Out of 12 Omnipotents, we are the two who managed to here...I don't know if this was destiny...or simply good luck." Ceygas said.
"Destiny or good luck, doesn't matter really. We're still here. And we're gonna participate in a last challenge for ultimate knowledge. Isn't that cool or what?" Amij asked.
"...Yeah...I won't hold back just because you are a kid, just so you know." Ceygas said.
"That's okay. I'm not planning on holding back either just cause you are a lady." Amij said.
"Heh, good." Ceygas smiled.
A few hours later.
A portal opened in Aeon's office.
Aeon and Natasha walked through it, both looking exhausted as the portal closed.
Aeon dropped on the floor.
"...It's over." Aeon sighed in relief.
Marick was in the office at the time.
"And this is why you bring help when fighting extremely tough bad things." Marick said.
"...He din't make things easy by fusing with the essence of the Omnis he captured...but thankfully, Guardians also have their own ways of fusion after all" Aeon said, slowly getting up.
"We always have, you probably just never needed to before. Lucky for you a Guardian's Fusion Evolution is the most powerful form of Evolution their is." Marick said.
"Yeah. Well, Xuko is now dead for good and we put the Omnipotent spirits back to where they were." Aeon said, sitting on his chair.
"So, what did we miss? And who else is left?" Natasha asked.
"Well let's see.
I found out Sigmund used cheap tactics to win some rounds while you were host and nothing happened as a result, or so I've been informed. and he was eliminated and disqualified, it's now down to Amij and Ceygas." Marick said.
"...I see." Natasha said.
"So, it's Universe 3 Versus Universe 7. Quite the odd Finale pair." Aeon said.
"So..no comment on Sigmund?" Marick asked.
"We knew about most of Sigmund and his tactics, especially his history from Universe 1. The only reason he was brought in the competition because I thought that hopefully he'd atleast somehow change his way like Other Omnipotents but it seems there is no turning back for him. It won't be up to me decide what happens to him, it will up to someone from Universe 1 to do that. And the people he got eliminated as far as I know were Gafust and Aika but both indirectly and none of them were mortally injured. Most of Omnipotents are basically allowed to use their powers in any shape or form and once they use their powers, they can't really be stopped." Aeon said.
Marick sighed. "Fair enough I suppose, he was disqualified anyway for trying to cheat in his last challenge.
Also I went ahead and gave Kimura something for being in third place and Amij and Ceygas something for whoever gets second place." Marick said.
"And that is?" Aeon said.
"I used my prophet's eye to basically answer one question of their choosing." Marick said.
"Well, that's fine with me really. Well, thank you anyways for helping us when we needed help." Aeon said.
"Always glad to help." Marick said.
"...If there is anything I really wish I could of changed as a guardian...is the fate of Universe 0. Something that could of saved Master Mako, the Omnipotents and the people who died during the invasion...but then again, it's useless to think about the past and is honestly about time to...just move on and accept reality as it is." Aeon said.
Aeon then looked at Marick.
"...Is there anything that you regret...and wish to change?" Aeon asked.
"There is a lot I regret, but I wouldn't change anything.
It's like my father, he made tons of mistakes, but he wouldn't change any of them, even the one he regrets the most, because if he did, he wouldn't be the guardian he is with the woman he loves. I'm the same way, sure I regret things, but I learned important things from all of those mistakes, I wouldn't be the man I am today without the mistakes I made." Marick said.
"As the old saying goes. You have to lose, to know how to win." Marick said.
"...Well, I guess that's true. If it wasn't for those events that happened in Universe 0...then we probably wouldn't be here right now and there wouldn't be any Tournament at all...I guess it's for the best that events remained the way they are" Aeon said.
"Yup.
It ain't easy, but we always manage to find a way.
It's kind of an unspoken gift of ours ya know? no matter what threat heads our way, we always seem to find a way." Marick noted.
"I suppose." Aeon said.
He got up and shook Marick's hands.
"It was nice meeting you, Marick. Hopefully we'll see each other again sometime in the future." Aeon said.
"Indeed, it's nice meeting you too." Marick said as a portal opened and he stepped toward it but stopped and looked back at Aeon.
"Ya know, maybe you should do a Tournament of Guardians next, I think I know someone who would be interested." Marick said.
"Hm, maybe. If any Guardians won't be busy, it can probably happen." Aeon guessed.
Marick nodded and tipped his hat to Aeon and Natasha, and then left through the portal, and it closed.
Aeon sat back at his desk.
"Nice fellow." Aeon said.
"...Well, atleast we din't miss the finale. What should the final challenge be?" Natasha asked.
"The same final challenge in every tournament: a fight between the last two standing. And whoever wins..." Aeon said.
He opened his drawer, the box containing the Ball of Infinite Knowledge was seen.
"Will win the Knowledge they seek...let's announce the Omnipotents from the 12 Universes. They need to see this match." Aeon said.
In Universe 0.
It cuts to the City of Techno, somewhere in a underground bunker.
The Sealing Urn was inside a vault, sitting on a table.
The Vault's door collapsed as a large muscular red skinned mutant walked in, followed up by Sigmund.
"It's a good thing I decided to stick around and followed the Guardian and his assistant to see where they would hide the Urn. Let's see if they are smarter than they look. You, try to take the Urn." Sigmund said.
The mutant walked over to the Urn and when he tried to grab it, a forcefield appeared around the Urn.
"Hm, a forcefield. Try to pierce through it." Sigmund said.
The mutant attempted to pierce through the forcefield with it's bare hands and when it touched the Urn, he got knocked by a magic sphere that protected Urn.
"Ah, so they placed both a forcefield and a magic barrier. Clever. Now, try again and this time, do it right." Sigmund said.
The Mutant got up again and tried shoving it's hands through the magic sphere.
It was working but as it did so, it was getting electrocuted by the barrier.
When it grabbed the Urn, a green explosion occurred, knocking the mutant on the ground.
The barrier around the Urn was gone and the mutant was on the floor, smoke coming out of it's body and it wasn't moving at all. It appears the blast killed it.
Sigmund walked past the mutant, unfazed by it's death as he grabbed the urn.
"...This will serve as the perfect decoy. While everyone else will focus on the demon..." Sigmund said.
He placed the Urn in his lab coat's pocket.
"No one will have time to focus on the Ball of Knowledge till it's too late." Sigmund said.
Sigmund then walked out of the vault, leaving the dead mutant behind
Inside the Urn was Xuko's spirit, banging his fists against the Urn.
"LET ME GO YOU BAGS OF FECES! I WILL RIP YOUR SOULS OF YOUR BODIES AND DEVOUR THEM! YOU DAMN HUMANS WILL RUE THE DAY YOU WERE BORN! DO YOU HEAR ME!?" Xuko asked.
"DO YOU HEEEEEEEEEEEEEAR MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!?"

CHAPTER 9 TRIUMPHANT
PART 1
Today was the big day.
The finale
Ceygas woke up, staring at the ceiling
"...Well, today I'm gonna go back home...either as a winner...or a loser..." Ceygas said.
She then got up and walked into the bathroom, looking herself in the mirror.
"...Amij's element is flight. I doubt he will be that tough to beat. If it was Iknaa, Milana or hell, Kimura, I would of found this challenging but...eh, I doubt he will last that long in the fight." Ceygas said.
Ceygas began brushing her teeth.
In Amij's room.
Amij was already up and was dressed, hype'd for today.
"Okay, today is the big day. I simply can't wait for the final challenge! Ceygas will be tough, but I am just as tough as her! I'll have to go all out to beat her." Amij said
Amij then walked out of his room, he seemed to be waiting for Ceygas.
A few minutes later, Ceygas walked out and spotted Amij.
"...You look ready." Ceygas said, folding her arms.
"Why wouldn't I? Today is the big thing: you and me. One of us is gonna win the Infinite Knowledge and become the new champion of the Tournament! Isn't it great?" Amij asked.
"Yeah. But don't expect this to be easy. I won't hold back, especially in the final match. I do want to win this now that I'm a finalist." Ceygas said.
"Same goes for me." Amij said.
Amij's stomach began growling.
"...Then again, I cannot beat you on a empty stomach...so, I'm gonna grab something to eat before I win this." Amij said, walking past Ceygas.
"Hm, overconfidence. Surely that won't get you in trouble." Ceygas said.
Ceygas walked out aswell.
After eating, both were waiting for Aeon.
"...So...in case any of us wins this...no hard feelings right?" Amij asked.
"Eh. It's not like we are gonna see each other again after this is over...unless another Erasure Wave happens." Ceygas shrugged.
"Or maybe we'll get recruited again for some other Tournament later?" Amij asked.
"Maybe." Ceygas said.
Eventually, Aeon and Natasha showed up.
"Hello, you two. Hope you are ready for today." Aeon said.
"Hell yeah, we are." Amij smiled.
"So, I guess the final challenge will be a fight between us, right?" Ceygas asked.
"Indeed. It will be an all out fight. The battle will take place in the area beyond stage 3." Aeon said.
Natasha clicked her fingers.
The wall in Stage 3 opened up, the pathway that leads to the ring was revealed.
"Just follow us and you can start the final match." Aeon said.
They nodded.
Aeon and Natasha walked inside, followed up by Ceygas and Amij
They arrived at the battle arena.
Except this time, the remaining Omnipotents from all 12 Universes were there, sitting on the spectator seats, Zack and Abigail included.
Also there were the participants from this Tournament, those being Kimura, Naan, Gafust, Iknaa, Cirak, Milana, Aika, Lionel, Sothot...and Sigmund of course, who was sitting close to Dyrre who had something sticking out of his shirt and looked pretty nervous.
Jasmine and Ray also happened to be there. Ray most likely cause he is Amij's guardian and Jasmine is Kimura's cousin who was sitting to her left, looking at Sigmund with suspicious eyes.
Amij and Ceygas looked surprised to see the Omnipotents in the arena.
"Everyone, Ceygas and Amij! The two contestants who worked hard to make it to the grand finale!" Aeon said.
The Omnipotents cheered and applauded.
Amij waved at the Omnipotents and Ray.
Ceygas looked a bit nervous but she waved slightly at her Omnipotent companions from Universe 3 and when she spotted Kimura waving at her, she waved back.
"You all know the drill: this final challenge will be an all out fight between the two contestants. Whoever beats the other into unconsciousness or tosses the other out of the ring, the last one standing wins the Tournament and of course, the Ball of Infinite Knowledge...created by Lalog, of course." Aeon said, raising the box containing the Ball of Knowledge.
Sigmund's eyes were right on the box and Jasmine looked at him before she turned back to Aeon.
The box floated towards the ceiling and it was now hovering above the match ring
"The box will come down the moment the champion will be revealed. Now then, do you two have any words to share with the audience before the match starts?" Aeon asked.
Amij and Ceygas turned to the Omnipotents.
"...Well, all I have to say is...I'm glad to be here in the finale of the Tournament. This entire thing was one hell of a ride. And I met some pretty cool guys during the Tournament...well, except one dude who is a douche." Amij said, looking at Sigmund.
"Hmph." Sigmund simply said.
"But besides him, all of you guys are cool in my book." Amij said.
"Ah, thanks doll." Aika smiled.
"So, overall, I'm gonna do my best to win for myself, and for my Universe 7! We're gonna throw a big fucking party when I get back home guys!" Amij said.
The Universe 7 Omnipotents cheered.
"He better not think of throwing the party in my house." Mika said.
"You must be pretty proud of him, right now." Acynna told Ray.
"Yup, I am." Ray smiled.
"Ceygas, do you have anything to say?" Aeon asked.
Ceygas folded her arms, looking at the Omnipotents.
"...I...really don't have that much to say...except that I'm honestly surprised that I made it here. Every time my friends participated in this competition, they landed on bottom 6. But now, I managed to break the pattern and I made it to the finish, so I guess I'm happy about that...Oh, and I have some words for a few people here." Ceygas said.
Ceygas pointed at Sigmund.
"Fuck you." Ceygas said.
She pointed at Dyrre next
"Fuck you." Ceygas said.
She pointed at Haji.
"Fuck you." Ceygas said.
She pointed at Gafust and Cirak.
"You two, chill your tits." Ceygas said.
She pointed at Kimura, Naan, Ponek, Iknaa, Milana, Garmath, Garflec, Putgerr and Glexlam.
"You...you guys are cool...as for the rest of you...meh, don't really know you guys so...let's just start this thing already." Ceygas finished.
"Well, you heard em, folks, let the match begin!" Aeon said.
The Omnipotents cheered as both Amij and Ceygas began walking towards the ring.
"Who do you guys think will win this?" Lujien asked.
"Ceygas, duh. No way that skinny twig is gonna win." Lekulia said.
"Honestly, if Sigmund wasn't a total bitch and got the powerful players out, Amij wouldn't of been here." Lake said.
"It's pretty obvious who will win this." Doama said, the Omnipotent of Image, said.
"I kinda want Amij to win...Ceygas is a little mean." Yang said.
"Atleast Ceygas has courage to admit who she likes and dislikes, unlike Amij." Yin said.
"I'm okay with whoever wins." Okail smiled.
"I want Amij to win." Naan said.
"Ceygas is gonna whoop the floor with him." Kimura said.
Sanar puts her hand on her head and Dilon turned to her.
"Are you okay?" Dilon asked.
"...I'm...sensing someone's thought's...someone I never heard before..." Sanar said.
"Huh, who?" Noel asked.
"...Someone...very angry...spiteful...and wants to be let out." Sanar said.
Sigmund grabbed Dyrre's shoulder and went closer to his ear.
"So, here's what you have to do. The moment those two look like they are about to finish each other off, you remove the seal and release the demon got it? With him distracting everyone else, you snatch the box and we get out of here." Sigmund whispered to Dyrre.
Dyrre, still looking nervous, looked at what was inside his shirt.
"...I...I unno about this...this guy...was about to kill me...If I release him again...he is gonna kill us all." Dyrre said.
"This place is crawling with Omnipotents, aswell as three guardians. He will be taken care off. As for you, you better do what I say or you can lose your job, the money that we funded you for years and get yourself a new job as a bum. Is that what you want?" Sigmund asked.
Dyrre shook his head off.
"Good. Now, just sit and watch things play out a bit before you start." Sigmund said.
"...S-Sure." Dyrre said.
Putgerr was able to hear the conversation they had and stared at Sigmund.
Lionel was sensing something familiar coming from Dyrre and looked concerned.
Kimura looked at Sigmund.
"...Is there something wrong?" Tenyard, the Omnipotent of Wisdom, who was sitting next to Kimura, asked.
Kimura turned to Tenyard.
"...I was just...paying attention to whatever those two were discussing." Kimura said.
"Oh, I'm sure they are probably talking about what to do next after this Tournament is over, nothing you should get concerned about...though, was it a good idea to invite your cousin here? I mean, after what she-" Tenyard said.
"She's just here to watch the match and she'll go. She won't cause Sigmund shit if that's what you are worried." Kimura said.
"...Hopefully, you are right. For her sake..." Tenyard said, as he turned his head back to the match.
Kimura looked at Ceygas.
Amij and Ceygas got on the ring, both standing on the opposite ends of of the ring.
"...Ready to lose?" Amij asked.
"After you." Ceygas said.
Natasha rang the bell.
"Fight!" Aeon announced.
Amij flew towards Ceygas, ready to punch her.
Ceygas easily dodged as she blasted Amij with lightning from her hands.
Amij was knocked back but he continued flying towards her nonetheless
Ceygas then jumped out of the way, landing behind Amij
Ceygas held her hands up.
Clouds gathered near the ceiling, somehow, despite being in a closed area.
She clicked her fingers.
And lightning bolts were raining from the clouds, descending towards Amij
Amij began dodging every lightning bolt there was.
He then stopped the lightning bolts flying from the air and turned their direction towards Ceygas.
He launched the lightning bolts right at Ceygas.
Ceygas simply stopped the lightning bolts with her hand and sent them back to Amij
Amij deflected the bolts with his flight, sending them right into the wall.
He then levitated Ceygas and smashed her into the wall.
Ceygas looked at Amij before she suddenly disappeared through a flash of light.
She reappeared in front of Amij before punching him in the face.
She launched a kick towards him but Amij intercepted her attack, grabbing her leg.
While holding onto her leg, he used all his strength to throw her out of the ring.
Ceygas ended up collapsing on the floor instead as she kicked Amij in the face by using both of her legs.
He then got struck by lightning from the clouds.
Amij slowly got up, his clothes now covered in electricity before he got an idea.
Ceygas summoned more lightning to hit Amij
Amij held out his hands and the lightning flew into Ceygas instead, shocking her.
There was smoke coming out of Ceygas, blinking but din't look to injured.
Ceygas raised her fists and lightning struck them both, covering in electricity.
She punched the floor, sending out a shockwave, going towards Amij.
Amij flew out of the shockwave's way, floating near the ceiling.
Ceygas, using the energy from her palms, created a whip made out of lightning and tossed it at Amij
The whip grabbed Amij and he was electrocuted as a result before Ceygas, holding onto the whip, smashed him into the floor while he was still getting electrified.
"Yeah, go Ceygas!" Kimura cheered.
"Amij, get up!" Naan yelled.
Amij was busy getting electrocuted to hear Naan as Ceygas began spinning him around with her whip before throwing him out of the arena.
Amij stopped, floating above the ground before he would of landed outside the ring.
He broke out of the whip before he flew very fast towards Ceygas.
His fist hits Ceygas's face.
Amij then kicked her in the stomach.
Ceygas slapped Amij with her hand, still covered in lightning, bringing more impact on the damage.
Her feet were glowing with elecriticity aswell before kicking Amij in the chest.
Amij got electrocuted as a result.
Ceygas just began punching, kicking Amij with her electro limbs and she wasn't stopping.
Amij headbutted her in the stomach before punching her in the face, this time knocking her on the floor.
Ceygas's eyes then closed.
That surprised Putgerr and Garflec.
"Holy shit, did he knock her out?" Garflec asked.
"Nah, that can't be." Putgerr said.
Amij then looked at Ceygas, getting closer, to see if she was really knocked out.
Ceygas remained there, not moving.
Amij shrugged as he turned around.
"Well, I'm guess she is-"
Ceygas legs then wrapped themselves around Amij's neck, throwing him on the floor.
Ceygas, while still on the floor, was restraining Amij with her legs.
Amij's face was turning blue, running out of breath.
"You might aswell give up. I won't let go." Ceygas said.
"...We'll see about that." Amij said, while grasping for air.
Amij...then bites Ceygas's leg.
"AH!" Ceygas yelled.
Ceygas's let's go of Amij as she grabbed her leg, seeing a mark left on her leg by Amij
Ceygas looked pissed off before she flew into a wall on the left
Amij then pointed to the right and Ceygas flew into the left wall.
He then pointed to the ceiling and Ceygas smashed into the ceiling
Amij just began pointing different directions and Ceygas ended up getting smacked into everything. She even got smacked into Etanfe at one point.
Ceygas, her eyes glowing with electricity, jumped from midair, landing on the floor on her feet.
She turned to Amij, looking pissed.
Ceygas raised her hands and lightning was shot out of the clouds.
The lighting gathered on her hands before she clapped them together.
She opened her hands, revealing a yellow ball of electricity.
Ceygas looked at Amij as she launched the ball at him.
"Yikes!" Amij gulped.
Amij turned and flew away as the ball went after him.
Amij was flying beneath the ceiling and when he turned, he saw the ball, still going towards him.
"SHIT!" Amij yelled.
He flew to a different direction and the ball followed him.
Amij tried another direction and when he turned around, the ball wasn't there anymore.
Amij turned back, sighing in relief...before the ball was now flying right to his face.
He stopped and flew to a different direction.
Ceygas simply watching Amij trying to fly away from her ball before she yawned.
"You're gonna get hit anyways, no matter where you try to fly at. It's pointless." Ceygas said.
Amij looked at Ceygas, wondering if maybe knocking her out would work and when he looked at the ball, he got an idea.
"You're right, it's pointless...I should try this instead!" Amij said.
Amij then flew down, floating towards Ceygas.
Ceygas simply held out her hand, ready to strike Amij with lightning in case he tried to attack.
When he got close to Ceygas...he flew to the ceiling again.
Ceygas, raised an eyebrow and when she looked forward, her eyes widened as the ball of electricity was about to hit her.
Before Ceygas to redirect the ball's direction.
She got hit by the ball as her scream was heard, electricity flying out of her.
Aeon and Natasha barely missed the electricity flying towards them.
The people from the audience weren't so lucky as Laerz, Negak, Mojo, Erxe, Yarim, Etanfe, Yama, Hajon and Marcus got hit by the electricity.
Akmotoi was lucky enough not to get hit while Lyle and Melanie absorbed the electricity.
Once the electricity stopped, Ceygas stood there, smoke coming out of her, her clothes were torn and her eyes were twitching.
Amij descended, looking concerned about Ceygas being probably heavily injured by her own attack.
"You okay?" Amij asked.
Ceygas just looked at Amij, her eyes turning yellow.
"Oh, I'm okay, alright...it seems I underemestimated you. It's time I stop playing around." Ceygas said.
Ceygas then clenched her fists as her eyes were now covered in electricity.
Her entire form was now made out of electricity. It's safe to assume she was now in her Omnipotent form.
Amij, gulped, before he could try anything.
He got struck by 10 shots of lightning from the clouds, more powerful than the ones Ceygas used on him.
Amij fell on the floor, smoke coming out of him.
Ceygas then struck him with lightning again, making a small crater on the ground Amij was standing on.
Ceygas then flew into the clouds, her glowing eyes could be seen.
The clouds, instead of shooting lightning, started shooting lightning bullets, many lightning bullets.
Amij, looking injured, slowly got up before he got pelted by a bullet, getting electrocuted.
He tried turning the bullet's directions away and as they did, Ceygas redirected them back at Amij and he got hit by the bullets.
Amij collapsed on the floor, smoke coming out of his body.
"Noo!" Naan yelled.
"Well, looks like Ceygas is gonna win this afterall." Garflec said.
Ray looked at Amij, not looking worried at all.
Amij slowly opened his head, getting out of the crater he found himself as it was raining with lightning bullets and smiled.
"Alright...guess it's time for me to finally take off...for real this time." Amij said.
Amij closed his eyes and opened them, glowing blue.
His form changed aswell, his body was made out of clouds but still retained the glowing eyes.
Amij then flew up, with incredible speed, making the crater he was on larger.
He flew towards the clouds Ceygas was hiding in, sending each bullet flying towards a different direction. His flight power was now stronger than it was before.
Amij flew into the clouds and continued flying, searching for Ceygas.
While flying, multiple lightning was being shot at him from a distance.
Amij easily dodged the lightning shots as he was still going.
He found Ceygas standing there on a piece of cloud as Amij punched her in the face, sending her flying.
Ceygas stopped herself from flying as she raised her hands
Two large fists made out of electricity peered from beneath Amij, grabbing his torso and began squashing him.
Amij broke out of the electrified hands as he flew towards Ceygas, hitting her in the stomach
Ceygas elbowed him in the face, electrocuting him at the same time.
Both of them just started punching and kicking each other in the clouds.
Each time they would hit their fists or legs against each other, a clash would occur, knocking them both away before flying towards each other again.
As they kept clashing in the clouds, lighting was shot outside the clouds as it started raining all over the ring, making the floor wet and easy to slip off.
The Omnipotents simply stood there, confused about what was going on in the clouds while Sigmund simply watched, looking patient.
Amij and Ceygas eventually stopped clashing against each other and looked at one another.
Both were glaring at each other...before smiling at one another, their smiles looked genuine.
That's when the two flew, clashing into each other one more time.
The result of their clash caused a large yellow and white explosion that took out of the clouds.
The explosion caused the Omnipotents to cover their eyes except Erxe who was wearing his sunglasses. Putgerr, Garflec, Acynna, Mika, Lujien, Gevnik, Aika and Akmotoi were wearing a pair aswell.
When the explosion was done.
Amij and Ceygas, still in their Omnipotent forms, were descending down, with Amij grabbing onto Ceygas and both of them crashed onto the crater.
Aeon, Natasha and the Omnipotents looked closer, to see if Amij and Ceygas were still conscious or if one of them was defeated.
A large yellow pillar bursted out of the crater, knocking Amij out of the crater.
Amij landed back on the ring.
Ceygas flew out of the crater and landed on the floor.
She shot a massive beam of lightning at Amij and he got hit, smashing him into the wall.
Amij looked at Ceygas and she got sent flying as she smashed into a wall aswell.
Before they could hit the ground, they both jumped and landed back on the ring, looking at each other.
"It seems we're both evenly matched." Amij said, still in his Omnipotent form.
"It's time we break the tie and see who actually wins this." Ceygas said, as her form started to glow.
Amij started to glow aswell. It appears they were ready to launch out their Susanoo's.
Sigmund then looked at Dyrre.
"It's time. Do it." Sigmund told Dyrre.
Dyrre looked Sigmund before he sighed.
He pulled out the sealing Urn from beneath his shirt.
He slowly puts his hand on the seal, ready to rip it off.
Suddenly, Jasmine's hands were also on the Urn, looking at Dyrre.
"I don't know what you are trying to do, but you need to stop." Jasmine said, attempting to pull the Urn from Dyrre's hands
"O-Oh come on!" Dyrre said, pulling the Urn back.
"Hand it over!" Jasmine yelled, pulling the Urn.
"No!" Dyrre said.
"Hey, will you two keep it down? Some of us are trying to watch the match!" Mika said.
"You two can save the pissing match afterwards, okay?" Aika asked.
Tenyard got up, looking annoyed.
"You just don't know when to stop causing trouble, do you?" Tenyard asked Jasmine.
Jasmine punched Dyrre in the face, causing him to throw the Urn in the air as he collapsed on the floor.
Lionel got up as he ran out of his seat, running towards the Urn.
The Urn landed...in Sigmund's arms.
Jasmine turned to Sigmund, her eyes turning Blue.
Sigmund simply stared at Jasmine, turning to her.
Jasmine, without hesitation, ran with incredible speed towards Sigmund.
Sigmund smiled as he held the Urn.
When Jasmine was about to punch him, he held the Urn in front of his face and-
SMASH!
Sigmund was knocked into the wall, Jasmine was knocked on the floor, Lionel was sent flying and most of the Omnipotents from 1 and 2 were knocked out of their seats.
Amij, Ceygas, Aeon and Natasha turned when they heard the sound of something being smashed.
The Seal that used to be on the Urn landed in front of Aeon and Natasha, along with the Urn's shard pieces
Aeon and Natasha turned pale as they slowly looked up at the audience.
Dyrre raised his head, rubbing it and when he looked up, his eyes widened.
Xuko's spirit, covered in flames, was standing there, glaring at Dyrre.
"...Ah...Ah...AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" Dyrre screamed.
"You again? Is my luck so rotten that I had to be saved by the same idiot again?" Xuko asked
"...Hold on...what did he just say?" Lake asked.
"Dyrre fucked up, apparently he had something to do with this weirdo being 'saved' once." Putgerr said.
Lionel got up, looking pissed off when he heard that.
"You were the idiot who released him and let him grab Leonard, Lemures and those two other Omnipotents!?" Lionel asked.
"It-It-It wasn't my fault, I swear!...It...It was him, that's right, him!" Dyrre yelled, pointing at Sigmund
Xuko's spirit then looked around, looking at the Omnipotents in the audience.
Some of them looked shocked while some looked very confused about who he was.
"...Oh...all of you are here...Perfect! All the pieces of the puzzle are here. My ascent to Godhood can begin faster than I expected." Xuko said
"Excuse me, whoever the fuck you are, but we are in the middle of something here, can't this wait?" Ceygas asked.
Xuko then looked down, seeing Aeon, Natasha, Ceygas and Amij. Aeon and Natasha looked very angry.
Xuko smiled.
"...It's time for payback." Xuko said.
Xuko's spirit then flew down, going towards Natasha it seemed.
Natasha immediately shot a beam at Xuko.
The beam phased through Xuko since he was a spirit as he continued flying towards Natasha
Aeon got in front of Natasha, aiming his sword at Xuko as it was charging up
Xuko's spirit...flew right into Aeon's body.
Aeon's eyes widened.
"...Aeon?" Natasha asked, looking concerned.
Aeon began screaming as he puts his hands on his head, collapsing on his knee's.
"AEON!" Natasha yelled, crouching down.
"...N-no! G-Get out of my body!...Get out, now!" Aeon shouted.
"Fight him, Aeon! Don't let him control your body!" Natasha yelled.
Amij and Ceygas simply stood there, confused by what was going on.
"G...GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" Aeon shouted.
Aeon collapsed on the ground.
Natasha gasped as she puts her hands on his body, shaking him a bit.
"Aeon? Aeon? AEON!" Natasha yelled.
Aeon was heard breathing as he slowly got on his knees and was panting for breath.
"...A-Aeon?" Natasha asked.
"...Heh...heh....heh...heh." Aeon chuckled, his voice sounding different.
"Aeon?" Natasha asked.
Aeon looked at Natasha, grinning with sharp teeth. His right eye had a symbol that looked like a mix of Aeon's Mystic Eye and Xuko's Sigil
"I'm baaaaaack!" 'Aeon' said, his voice sounded exactly like Xuko's
Natasha, Lionel, Jasmine, Ray, Miyama, Amij and Ceygas's eyes widened.
Sigmund, still leaning against the wall, slowly looked up, smiling.
Xuko, now possessing Aeon's body, got up.
He pulled off Aeon's fedora and shades, tossing them aside before smiling at Natasha, folding his arms.
"It's quite awkward using another body, but it will have to do till I bring myself back to life by using the elements of these pitiful mortals. This guardian's body will prove useful in taking all of their essence for myself. I will save you for last, my dear." Xuko said.
"D-DON'T YOU ARE!" Natasha yelled.
The possessed Aeon vanished.
He reappeared in front of Ceygas and Amij.
"Now then, before the killing starts, I should wear something a bit more..." Xuko said, snapping his finger.
Flames covered Aeon's body.
When the flames vanished, Aeon's skin was now pale, his coat resembled Xuko's overcoat, he had Xuko's hair horns and his Mystic-Sigil eye was activated, grinning at Amij and Ceygas.
Amij and Ceygas stood back.
"...From what I heard, Guardians are very powerful thanks to their Evolution ability, they can become even more stronger than the Omnipotents themselves...well, let's put that theory to the test...starting with you two." Xuko smiled.
TO BE CONCLUDED

CHAPTER 10 TRIUMPHANT
PART 2
Most of the Omnipotents were currently staring in shock. Some look frightened.
Amij and Ceygas, still in their Omnipotent forms, were standing face to face with the newly revived Xuko, who was possessing Aeon's body.
Xuko pulled out Aeon's sword.
"Who should I start with first?" Xuko asked.
Natasha's hands glew yellow as she aimed them at Xuko and shot a yellow beam, Aeon's body starting to glow yellow.
"Aeon, I know you're still in there somewhere. Fight Xuko, don't let him use your body to destroy the entire Multiverse!" Natasha yelled
It din't seem to have any affect as Xuko turned to Natasha and appeared right in front of her.
He grabbed her by her neck, lifting her to his face.
"As I told you, I will be dealing with you last. So, 'honey', wait your turn." Xuko said.
He then tossed her out of the ring, knocking her into Raluag and Kitioagan.
"Natasha, are you okay?" Gekez asked.
"No, I'm not. Okail, put a dome on the ring, don't let Xuko get near you and the Omnipotents!" Natasha said.
Okail nodded as a glass dome covered the entire ring, trapping Xuko, Amij and Ceygas in it.
"One problem, now those two are stuck in there with that maniac." Ray said.
"They'll have to manage on their own, till we come up with a plan to stop this." Natasha said.
Amij looked at Ceygas.
"...So, mind saving our match till after we deal with this guy?" Amij asked.
"Gladly. Let's take this joker out." Ceygas said.
"Glad to hear that." Amij said, turning to Xuko.
"Hahaha! Take me out? Well, go ahead, let's how powerful your elements truly are." Xuko said.
Amij and Ceygas charged at the same time, aiming their fists at Aeon's face.
Xuko blocked both their fists with his own hands
"Hm, is that it?" Xuko asked.
He then proceeded to crush their fists.
"AH!" Amij yelled.
Ceygas kicked Xuko in the stomach before she grabbed Amij and backed away from Xuko.
Ceygas's electrified hair extended out, grabbing Aeon's body, starting to electrocute him.
Xuko used Aeon's sword to cut through Ceygas's hair tendrils before he launched himself at Ceygas.
He headbutted her in the face, knocking her into the glass dome, making a small crack.
Amij got behind Xuko, pulled his arm around his neck and threw himself along with Aeon's body on the ground, attempting to choke him out.
Xuko grabbed Amij by his neck and kicked him into the dome's ceiling.
Amij, while stuck on the ceiling, looked at Xuko.
Aeon's body suddenly went flying and hit's the ceiling aswell.
Amij moved his hands around and began smacking Xuko around in the dome.
Xuko eventually stopped himself in midair, his Mystic Eye activated.
He aimed Aeon's sword at Amij and shot a beam.
The beam hits Amij, knocking off the ceiling and he landed on the ground.
Before Amij could get up, Xuko landed on his back with Aeon's feet, crushing Amij's back.
"GAH!" Amij yelled, coughing blood.
"AMIJ!" Naan called out, rushing over to the dome.
Dilon grabbed Naan.
"Naan, it's dangerous!" Dilon said.
"But they could die in there while we are standing here doing nothing!" Naan said.
"We are trying to think of a plan in order to help them. Don't worry, we won't let them die. But you can't put them into more danger by getting yourself involved." Dilon said.
Naan din't seem to accept that but she nodded in defeat.
Back in the dome.
Xuko was still crushing Amij till he got knocked off by a lightning bolt, impaling his chest.
This seemed to injure Aeon's body just a bit before Xuko pulled out the lightning bolt from his chest and tossed it.
He puts his hand on the wound and began healing. The wound vanished
Xuko smiled as he turned to Ceygas.
"Using a guardian's body really does have it's benefits." Xuko said.
Ceygas said nothing as she aimed her hands, shooting lightning at Xuko.
Xuko used Aeon's sword to deflect the lightning and deflected it back at Ceygas.
Ceygas got hit by the lightning, knocking her on the floor.
"Hey, don't use my own attacks against me!" Ceygas said.
Ceygas then flew towards Xuko, punching him in the face while electrocuting him at the same time.
She then kicked him in the stomach.
Xuko stabbed Ceygas in the stomach with Aeon's sword.
Ceygas spat blood in Aeon's face.
Xuko grabbed Ceygas by her face before he proceded to smash her face against the floor.
"Jesus, I can't watch this, there has to be something we can do! I can't stand here and watch Ceygas get the shit beaten out of her!" Garflec said.
"Can't I just like, I don't know, destroy the guy myself. It isn't that hard." Gafust suggested.
"As long as he is still in Aeon's body, that's not an option. We have to get Xuko's essence out of Aeon's body, then we can destroy him." Natasha said.
"...I suppose I couldn't be able to negate's Xuko spirit's or atleast Aeon's powers?" Tamara asked.
"Yes, but you might also accidently negate Ceygas and Amij's powers at the same time." Dasawert said.
Ponek looked at Ninoma.
"Ninoma possessed Kacaj to give us an advantage in the last Tournament. Maybe she could jump into Aeon's body and kick Xuko out? Or maybe help Aeon get control over his body?" Ponek suggested.
"But Xuko might kill Ninoma if she even tries." Nonias frowned.
"There has to be something we can do." Abigail said.
"I know, Abbie. But what?" Zack asked.
Yin turned around and saw Dyrre trying to sneak out of the area.
"And where do you think you are going?" Yin asked.
Dyrre turned his head...and when he looked down, his legs were frozen. Literally frozen
"Oh no, no way, you are not sneaking your way out of this bullshit this time, asshole!" Noel said, looking pissed.
"H-Hey, let me go!" Dyrre said.
"There is a big crisis going on and the first thing you do is run from a fight?" Milana asked.
"That guy is gonna kill us all! I'm not gonna stand there and let myself get butchered by that prick! Besides, it was Sigmund's fault, he forced me into releasing that guy again!" Dyrre said.
"That doesn't change a damn thing. You're just as responsible as that madman. You were the one who released that monster in the first place!" Dilon yelled.
"It's because of you Leonard and Lemures had to suffer when they got captured by that butthole!" Lake said.
"How can you be so fucking dumb? You're giving Private Monkey a run for his money and until today, I could have sworn that was a task no man could do! You've truly have opened my eyes Dyrre, opened them to how fucking stupid and low-down son of a bitch stupid like you can be! Ain't that right, Private Monkey?" Cirak asked.
"Sir, yes sir!" Mojo said.
"SHUT THE FUCK UP, PRIVATE MONKEY! Eyrr Schmidt, you are a failure of colossal magnitude, and possibly the DUMBEST son of a bitch I've ever seen next to Monkey!" Cirak yelled.
"...I...I...I'M SOOOOORRY!" Dyrre cried, bursting into tears.
"...Ugh, you really are a waste of space." Iknaa said.
Tenyard looked around.
"Wait, Sigmund's not here." Tenyard said.
"WHAT!?" Jasmine asked.
Lalog looked at the ceiling...and her eyes widened when she saw the box containing the Ball of Knowledge was missing.
"...And the Ball of Knowledge...it's gone too." Lalog said.
"Sigmund must of took it. He wanted the ball for himself." Sanar said.
"Of course. That guy simply can't play by the rules, can he?" Aika asked.
"...He is still in the ship. He is about to leave Stage 3. He is probably gonna try to use the teleporter to go back to Universe 1." Lionel guessed.
"...I'm not letting him escape this time." Jasmine said.
Jasmine ran out of the room, with immense speed.
"Ah, Jasmine, wait!" Kimura said, going after Jasmine.
"Let's give that asswipe a beating he had coming for awhile now!" Lekulia declared.
"No, forget Sigmund! We have to stop Xuko first! I'm not gonna let that rotten demon take away someone I love again! There has to be a way to separate them from each other...wait...Lionel...can you sense Aeon's spirit, somewhere in his body?" Natasha asked.
Lionel looked at Aeon's body and focused.
"...Actually...yes, I can sense Aeon's spirit. It's still active...he...is fighting Xuko's spirit as we speak!" Lionel said.
It cuts to inside Aeon's head
Two figures were seen, clashing against each other
The two figures were Aeon and Xuko, both fight each other.
The clash knocked them both away from each other. Aeon was holding his sword while Xuko was holding his staff.
"You may have control over my body, demon, but you haven't broken my spirit just yet! I will destroy you, for good this time!" Aeon said, aiming his sword at Xuko.
"Hahaha! Fool, do you think that I would ever let you go? Do you think I'd ever set you freeeeee!?" Xuko asked
Aeon was now wrapped up in chains, dropping his sword as Xuko walked up to him.
"If you do, I'm sorry to say, it simply isn't so. You will never get away from MEEEEEEEEEE!" Xuko said.
The chains around Aeon turned into dust and Xuko was now turned into a mirror. His reflection could be seen on the mirror as Aeon walked up to him.
"All that you are is a ugly face in the mirror, all I have to do is close my eyes and you will disappear." Aeon said.
Xuko's image then turned into the form of possessed Aeon, grinning at the real one.
"And now I am what you face in the mirror and as long as you live, I'll still be here!" Xuko said.
The mirror then shattered into pieces and they landed on the floor.
"All that you are is the end of a long nightmare, a dying scream that will be silenced forever." Aeon said.
Aeon aimed his sword at the glass shards.
"And now I'm gonna put an end to this dream and I will wake up." Aeon said, his sword charging.
Suddenly, two giant skeletons hands bursted out of the ground, grabbing Aeon, crushing his body
"This is not a dream, my friend." Xuko's voice said.
The shards united, reforming back into Xuko.
"And it will never end. This one is the nightmare that goes on." Xuko said.
He got in Aeon's face.
"I AM HERE TO STAY NO MATTER WHAT YOU MAY TRY TO DO! AND I'LL FLOURISH LONG AFTER YOU'RE GOOOOOONE!" Xuko yelled.
"N-No! Natasha, the Omnipotents...they will stop you!" Aeon said.
Xuko laughed.
"Those cowards have no chance against your body and your evolution power. Once I'll unlock all of your potential, their essence will be mine and the world will know from today and forever, that the new master of this new world is Xuko!" Xuko smiled.
"NOOOO!" Aeon screamed
Back outside.
"...Shit, Xuko managed to overpower him. He is losing the fight!" Lionel said.
"...We have to find a way to weaken Xuko's spirit, enough for Aeon to defeat him and expel out of his body." Natasha said
"Right. So...Does anyone have any bright ideas?" Mont asked.
Milana puts her hand on her chin, thinking.
"...I think...I have one." Milana said.
"What is it?" Iknaa asked.
"...Grand Priest Bhupati's Guardian power is useful against individuals fueled by evil energy, like the demons for a example. I once saw him use a technique from a scroll that weakened a demon's spirit inside a person, giving the person advantage against the demon and manage to kick out of their body. We can use the scroll to neutralize Xuko's spirit and give Aeon a chance to destroy him!" Milana said.
"You think it will work?" Garmath asked.
"It has to. It's the only way. The scroll is back in Universe 12. I have to make a quick trip, visit the Grand Priest and have him give me the scroll, then I'll come back to use it against Xuko." Milana said.
"I can help you against Xuko. Mekat, you are the Omnipotent of Portals, open a gateway to Universe 12, Bhupati's place." Natasha said.
"Okay." Mekat nodded.
A portal for Milana opened and she ran through it.
"So, while Milana is gonna get the scroll, what do we do?" Gevnik asked.
"We let Ceygas and Amij handle Xuko for now...hopefully, they will be able to resist till Milana shows up." Natasha said, turning back to the dome
Ceygas kicked Xuko in the face, knocking him away from her.
She launched a lightning beam at Xuko
Xuko blasted a large beam from Aeon's sword, piercing through Ceygas's beam and hitting her, knocking her on the ground. Ceygas was damaged by the beam as she tried to slowly get up.
"Thanks to Aeon's magic eye, I can see most of your attacks and moves coming. As you see, you have no chance as long as I have the sight of the future on my side." Xuko smiled, pointing at Aeon's Mystic Eye.
At that moment, Amij flew right into Xuko, flying with him in the air.
"Bet you din't see that one coming!" Amij said.
Amij then began flying down, while holding onto Xuko, ready to crash themselves on the ring.
Xuko then vanished and Amij stopped flying
"Huh, where did he?" Amij asked
Xuko reappeared behind Amij and kicked him in the head, knocking him on the ground.
He was descending towards Amij, ready to stab him in the heart with his sword
Ceygas appeared through a flash of lightning, in front of Amij
She grabbed Aeon's sword, electrocuting it, along with Xuko.
She punched Xuko, knocking him on the floor.
Ceygas helped Amij get up and both nodded at each other as they turned to Xuko.
Xuko got up and when he did, Amij charged and started landing a series of punched and kicks on Xuko.
Ceygas got behind Xuko, shooting his back with lightning and she did it again.
At that moment, Aeon's body dispersed into crows and began flying around Ceygas and Amij
The crows looked more demonic as they shot fire at the two Omnipotents.
A electric sphere appeared around Amij and Ceygas, protecting them from the fire.
Ceygas clicked her fingers and the crows got hit by lightning.
The crows then bursted into feathers, they landed on the match floor.
The sphere around the two Omnipotents vanished and they looked around for Xuko.
"...Where is that OP asshole hiding at?" Ceygas asked.
"Right behind you." Xuko said, literally behind Amij and Ceygas
When they turned, Xuko grabbed them by their necks, lifting them up as his Mystic Eye was glowing.
The feathers started floating and formed into clones of Aeon, each of them holding a sword.
The clones aimed their swords at Amij and Ceygas, ready to blast them while Xuko was holding onto to them.
Amij and Ceygas couldn't be able to breathe and use their powers while Xuko's grip was holding onto their necks.
The Aeon's shot multiple beams from their swords, blasting both Ceygas and Amij, severely damaging them.
"NOOOO!" Naan yelled.
Xuko dropped Ceygas and Amij, with smoke coming out of their bodies.
He reappeared in the middle of the clones, smiling at the two.
Ceygas tried to get up but she fell on her knees the moment she tried.
Amij was laying on the ground, looking too injured to get up.
"...No...this can't end this way...we...have to beat him..." Amij said.
"Beat me? Foolish child, you do realize that if it wasn't for me, you wouldn't have your power to begin with." Xuko said.
"...What?" Ceygas asked.
"You don't know? Well, let me tell you a story. Once upon time, there were 12 original Omnipotents from Universe 0. Each of them contained the elements that all of you are possessing. Orpheus decided to eliminate them all and I assisted in his mission, though, I was forced to do it anyways. We successfully killed each of the Omnipotents except the first two, Ceres and Pax. I went after them and they both used the crests to disperse them into different worlds. I failed to defeat them and their plan worked...thus creating a pair of 12 Omnipotents from every dimension." Xuko said.
The moment she heard that, Ceygas, looked pissed as she slowly got up.
"...You...You are the reason why my life went to shit...You...ARE FUCKING DEAD!" Ceygas roared.
Bolts of lightning flew from nowhere, slicing the Aeon clones in half. Xuko avoided getting sliced by the bolts as Ceygas stared at him in anger.
"IT'S BECAUSE OF YOUR DUMBASS THAT I NEVER GOT MY CAREER AND HAD TO PUT UP WITH A LOT OF SHIT! TIME TO DIE AGAIN, MOTHERFUCKER!" Ceygas yelled.
Electricity bursted out of Ceygas's body, electrifying every limb of Aeon's body.
Xuko, gritting his teeth, raised Aeon's sword and started to absorb all the electricity.
He aimed the sword at Ceygas before shooting a large electro beam, hitting Ceygas and knocking her on the ceiling.
Ceygas dropped on her floor, smoke coming out of her body, looking pretty damaged by the beam.
"I'm not gonna die again. I'm gonna take what's rightfully mine! And there's nothing you can do stop me! Not you or these scared pitiful mortals!" Xuko said.
"...You think so?" Amij asked.
Xuko turned his head, seeing Amij standing on the floor, despite looking pretty hurt.
"...Well...Xuko...guess I have to thank you then." Amij said.
"...Thank me?" Xuko asked.
"...When I was born, I din't have any parents, I was raised in a orphanage and I got treated like shit. Then I discovered my power and achieved my own purpose in life. If it wasn't for my power, I would never tried to become a hero...and I would of never found Ray. So, in a way...it's thanks to you that I'm here right now. And I'm grateful for that...but...what I'm not grateful...is you trying to kill innocent people who's powers belong to them, not you. People who used their own powers for good or worse. Being an Omnipotent...is not as terrible as some might think. Humans aren't weak, as long we are together, we can accomplish many things." Amij said.
Amij clenched his fist, his eyes glowing blue.
"And now, with all of us together, we can use our powers to destroy you!" Amij said.
Amij then flew towards Xuko, with incredible speed.
Before Xuko could dodge, Amij delivered a powerful punch to his face, right in the Mystic Eye.
Xuko was sent flying in the air and Amij flew after him.
He got behind Xuko and punched him in the head, sending him crashing onto the ground.
Ceygas slowly raised her head and when she saw Xuko laying on the ground, she smiled before clenching her fist.
A large yellow pillar bursted out of the ground, with Xuko on it, smacking him into the ceiling, leaving him trapped.
Amij flew back at Ceygas, levitating her body back on her feet and both looked at each other.
"We should probably unleash the things that we were about to unleash before this guy showed up." Amij said.
"An excellent idea." Ceygas said.
Amij and Ceygas both turned to Xuko as Ceygas's Susanoo appeared, along with Amij's which was a giant plane.
Xuko got himself out of the pillar and flew towards the two Omnipotents, looking pissed.
The Susanoo Plane flew towards Xuko, shooting bullets at him.
The bullets exploded the moment Xuko got hit by the bullets, sending him flying.
Ceygas's Susanoo flew above Xuko, launching a large pillar of lightning, hitting him and striking him down on the ground.
Xuko slowly got up and healed the injuries on Aeon's body before he launched a massive beam from Aeon's sword at Ceygas's Susanoo.
The beam got deflected by a blue beam shot from Amij's Plane as it started dropping bombs on Xuko.
The bombs landed on Xuko, exploding on him.
Ceygas's Susanoo raised it's arms, unleashing 50 beams of lightning, each of them hitting Xuko, increasing the damage.
Xuko flew from the crater he found himself in, bruises on his body and looked pissed off as the Mystic Eye was glowing
The Aeon clones reappeared as they, along with Xuko, aimed their swords, shooting the beams together.
The beams combined into each other, forming a large beam that was going towards Ceygas and Amij
Their Susanoo's got together and both shot a combined yellow and blue beam, piercing through the large beam, flying towards Xuko.
The beam hits Xuko and the Aeon clones.
The clones vanished as Xuko hits the ground. Aeon's body was now bleeding and looked severely injured.
"Dude's, they are kicking his ass!" Gevnik said.
"If Milana doesn't come back any time soon, Aeon is gonna die along with Xuko." Iknaa said.
As she said, Milana ran out of the portal, carrying the scroll with her.
"Milana, you arrived just on time. Is that the scroll?" Nycali asked.
"Yes, this is it." Milana nodded.
Milana placed the scroll on the floor and opened it, revealing some words that weren't in English and looked ancient.
Milana turned to Natasha.
"All we have to do is chant these words out and focus on Xuko." Milana said.
Natasha nodded as they crouched down, looked at the words, while aiming their hands at Xuko.
Natasha and Milana chanted the words from the scroll as their eyes turned yellow and their hands were glowing yellow aswell.
Aeon's body slowly got up as Xuko was panting and glaring at the Susanoo's.
"...No...I won't be defeated by these Titanic creatures again...all I have to do is get rid of this guardian's soul then I'll unlock his ultimate power!" Xuko said.
Xuko then concentrated as he proceeded to crush Aeon with the large skeleton hands in Aeon's own mind.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" Aeon screamed in pain.
The ground slowly started to sink, along with Aeon and the skeleton hands
Xuko smiled as he watched Aeon sink into the abyss...before he suddenly got electrocuted.
"WHAT!?" Xuko asked.
Back in the real world, Aeon's eyes widened as his body stood still, not moving at all.
Ceygas and Amij simply stood there, wondering what's going on
Milana's plan was working
Back in Aeon's mind
Xuko was still getting electrocuted and couldn't move his body at all.
"W-What is this Blasphemy!?" Xuko asked.
Aeon smiled.
"Natasha, she managed to find a way to stop you temporarely...now it's time to end this." Aeon said.
The skeleton hands holding Aeon shattered into pieces as Aeon landed on the ground, on his feet.
Aeon aimed his sword at Xuko, it was charging up.
"GH-GH, N-NO, NOT AGAIN!" Xuko yelled.
Aeon launched a large beam from his sword, hitting Xuko...followed up by another beam.
Aeon turned and...saw Mako, standing right beside him, launching the beam at Xuko from his own staff.
"Master Mako!?" Aeon asked.
Mako turned to Aeon, smiling.
"You and Natasha made me proud, Aeon. Now let's put an end to this." Mako said.
"...Right." Aeon smiled.
Aeon and Mako turned, putting all their energy into their beams.
"BEGONE, DEMON!" Aeon and Mako shouted
The two beams overwhelmed Xuko.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" Xuko screamed
Xuko's spirit was launched out of Aeon's body, flying right out of the glass dome.
Aeon returned back to the way he was and collapsed on the floor.
"It worked!" Mont said, sounding happy that it did.
"Thank God." Gurok sighed in relief.
"AEON!" Natasha shouted, running towards the ring.
Okail clicked her finger and the glass dome vanished.
Natasha and the Omnipotents got on the ring as they ran towards Aeon while some went up to Ceygas and Amij, to see if they were alright. Both of their Susanoo's were still activated.
Natasha held Aeon as Mont began healing him, all the injuries inflicted upon him by Ceygas and Amij were slowly disappearing.
"Aeon, come on, wake up!" Natasha said.
Aeon slowly opened his eyes, looking at Natasha and smiled.
"...Hey...I'm glad to see that he din't hurt you." Aeon said.
"..A...AEON!" Natasha yelled, hugging him as she bursted into tears.
Aeon accepted Natasha's hug.
"I...I thought I almost lost you. I thought Xuko was gonna take you away...just like he did with my parents." Natasha said while crying.
"...He killed your parents?...I'm sorry to hear that." Fuuka said.
"It's alright, don't worry, I'm okay now...if it wasn't for you...Xuko would of destroyed everything. Thank you, Natasha." Aeon said.
Natasha nodded.
Liern looked around.
"...Where is Xuko?" Liern asked.
"RIGHT ABOVE YOU!" Xuko yelled
The Omnipotents jumped as they looked up, seeing Xuko's spirit hovering above them, snarling and growling at the same time.
"OH COME ON!" Ceygas yelled.
"IS THERE ANY WAY TO ACTUALLY KILL THIS GUY!?" Lekulia asked.
"...Hold my Soda." Gafust said, handing a soda can over to Lekulia.
"...As I told those two whore's before...I...WILL...LIVE...FOREVEEEEEEEEER!" Xuko shouted.
Xuko's form changed into a large demonic beast, the same form he used against Ceres and Pax.
Xuko's spirit then flew down, right towards the Omnipotents.
"ALL OF YOUR ELEMENTS ARE MINE!" Xuko yelled.
Suddenly, Xuko was now trapped in a glass cube that appeared out of nowhere.
"WHAT!?" Xuko asked.
It was created by Okail, who's eyes were glowing and looked serious for the first time ever.
"...Gafust...finish him." Okail said, with a pretty serious tone.
"My pleasure. I wanted to destroy something ever since I got kicked out. Might aswell be this guy." Gafust said.
Gafust got in front of Xuko and aimed his hand at him
Xuko's spirit started to glow purple...and he started to slowly fade away, starting with his legs
His eyes widened.
"...No...I...can't die again...no...NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Xuko yelled.
Xuko landed on his knee's as he was being slowly erased out of existence. When he looked up, he looked horrified.
He saw Khora, sitting there in the spectator seat, alongside the spirits of the 11 original Omnipotents. All of them were looking down on him, without any sign of pity on their faces.
Xuko raised his arm at the Omnipotents.
"I...Can't...Go...To...Sleep...A-A...Again." Xuko said in despair.
Xuko's spirit, aswell as his essence faded away, leaving behind a few purple sparkles. He was dead for good this time.
"...He is dead." Glexlam confirmed.
"YAY!" Okail cheered, now back to her cute self.
"Thank God that's over with." Lujien said.
Aeon, fully healed, slowly got up and looked at Amij and Ceygas.
"Are you two okay?" Aeon asked.
"Barely. We almost would of died thanks to Sigmund releasing that dumbass." Ceygas said.
"...Sigmund. Where is he?" Aeon asked, looking very pissed.
"He took off with the prize the moment Xuko appeared. Jasmine and Kimura went after him." Lalog said
"Well, one is a guardian and the other is a Omnipotent, I'm sure they beat the shit out of the dick by now." Emylln smiled.
The sound of Jasmine and Kimura's screamed ringed in everyone's ears.
"K-Kimura!?" Naan asked.
"...Oh shit." Emylln said.
"...If he..." Ceygas said, as her Susanoo was glowing with lightning.
"LET'S GO!" Aeon said.
Aeon, Natasha, Ray and the Omnipotents marched out of the area, going to Stage 3
When they arrived there.
They saw Sigmund, holding the box containg the Ball of Knowledge, sitting on a throne on top of a pile of mutations, presumably his Susanoo. Many hands from the pile were holding Jasmine and Kimura, crushing their bodies.
"You just always have to get in my way and destroy everything that I worked for and research, don't you? Well, I'll do the entire Universe a favor by putting an end to your meddling." Sigmund said.
"SIGMUND!" Aeon yelled
Sigmund turned to the crowd.
"Oh, I see you took care of the demon. Congratulations, all of you din't stand still and let it destroy the multiverse." Sigmund said.
"Sigmund, put them down, hand over the prize or face the consequences." Aeon demanded
"Hm, I don't think so." Sigmund refused.
"Sigmund Clair, what in the blazes do you think you are doing!?" Tenyard asked.
"Isn't it obvious, Tenyard? This box will unlock a new future for Universe 1. With infinite Knowledge, we can become smarter than before, get a better understanding of space and time, built better weapons that will annihilate any threat that comes our way and threatens our society, like the Royal Guard did. And prevent dumb people from ruining our work, like this dumb little teenager. You din't think I would let these Neanderthals waste the knowledge for nothing, do you? If it wasn't for my former accomplice, Kimura, I would of won this prize a long time ago" Sigmund said.
"The reason you got eliminated is because you pulled some stupid schemes that got people eliminated and almost got them killed. Gafust, Aika, Sothot, do I need to say more? I think the Knowledge would be a lot more safer in someone else's hands than letting you have it." Lionel said.
"Oh, yes, it would be much safer in the hands of some fools who would use the knowledge to get straight A's on their exams or to act smart with people so numbed by the sun that if you use a three syllable word, they think you are Jesus Christ reborn. I find many flaws with your opinion." Sigmund said.
"Sigmund, I'm giving you a last warning. Drop the girls and the prize. Now." Aeon said.
"I'm sorry, but that is not happening. Now, if you excuse me." Sigmund said.
Suddenly, the box containing the Ball flew out of Sigmund's palm before it smacked right into Sigmund's face, knocking him off his throne.
He grabbed onto the throne before he could fall as he watched the box fly down and the sound of someone's feet landing on the floor was heard.
It was Aika, who turned herself visible, holding the box with one hand while holding her umbrella missile launcher in her other hand, aimed at Sigmund's mutation pile.
"Time to pay the piper, Siggy." Aika said.
Sigmund got back on the throne and his face showed rage for the first time as many hands bursted out of the pile, smacking Aika's umbrella and grabbing her body before pulling her to Sigmund's face.
"...Give...that...back." Sigmund said.
Suddenly, a large bolt of Lightning was launched from above Sigmund, slicing the mutant pile in half, knocking Sigmund and Aika on the ground.
Jasmine and Kimura landed on the ground as Aeon ran up to them, beginning to heal them.
Ceygas's Susanno was floating above Sigmund. Ceygas looked very pissed.
Aika was still holding onto the box as she got up, grabbed the umbrella and went back to the crowd, aiming it at Sigmund
Sigmund got up and pulled out a weapon, aiming at the Omnipotent crowd, glaring at each and every one of them.
"If we can't end this peacefully, then let's end it with violence inste...ugh." Sigmund said.
Sigmund's eyes widened as he dropped the weapon, falling on his knee's.
His face turned white, placing his hands all over his neck, running out of air.
Iknaa's eyes were glowing as she was glaring at Sigmund.
"...Your time is up, murderer." Iknaa said.
Iknaa began cutting the oxygen from Sigmund's brain.
Sigmund, as he was running out of oxygen, turned to Dyrre who was standing there.
"D-Dyrre...what are you waiting for? Put them all to sleep, now!" Sigmund said.
Dyrre looked down, folding his arms.
"...S-Sorry, man...but this time...you...you fucked up big. You're on your own now." Dyrre said, turning his head away
Sigmund's face contorted in anger as he slowly got up, despite running out of air.
"...You...treacherous...piece of-" Sigmund said
A large pillar of lightning struck Sigmund, engulfing him in it.
Sigmund was now running out of air and he was being electrified at the same time as tears appeared on his skin.
Sigmund just looked at everyone, his eyes were mostly on Jasmine, who's eyes were Neon blue and the image of the Sun was in her iris, clenching her fist.
"...You...imbeciles...without me...Universe 1...will...will..." Sigmund said.
Jasmine ran to Sigmund, punching his chest, piercing through the lightning pillar. Her first literally bursted through his chest
A large lightning explosion occurred, accompanied by the sound of Sigmund's scream.
After the explosion was done, everyone was knocked on the ground and they slowly got up.
They saw Sigmund on the ground, laying on his back. His eyes were lifeless, his glasses were on the floor, shattered into pieces, tears all over his skin, exposing his skeleton parts and there was a huge hole in his chest, with a fist sized hole in his heart.
"Well, he is dead." Glexlam confirmed.
Dyrre dropped on his knee's, bursting into tears as Tenyard looked quite a bit freaked out by what just happened
"Oh, thank God." Dasawert said.
"Finally." Tamara said.
"About fucking time." Noel said.
"Honestly, I'm surprised he din't die sooner." Garflec said.
"...H-He was pretty scary." Kehn said, standing a bit too close to Putgerr.
Putgerr raised his eyebrows, moving away from Kehn
"Ah, I wanted to blow him up." Gafust frowned.
Jasmine walked up to Sigmund's corpse, looking at it in disgust.
"...That was for Yhan...Toros...and everyone else that you hurt. Enjoy your stay in hell and never come back, Sigmund." Jasmine said.
Iknaa walked up to his corpse and spat on it.
Ceygas's Susanoo vanished and Ceygas landed on the floor, she wasn't in her Omnipotent form and looked injured and tired.
Amij's Susanoo and Omni form disappeared aswell, landing on the floor, looking tired aswell as he got up.
"...Ah, crap, we must of used all of our energy during the first half of our fight and then against Xuko." Amij sighed.
Kimura ran up to Ceygas, checking up on her.
"Are you okay?" Kimura asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine...are you okay?" Ceygas asked.
"Yeah, sure. Here, drink this." Kimura said, handing her a chemical.
Ceygas took a sip...before her eyes widened and spat it out.
"Blegh, it tastes horrible! How can you drink this stuff?" Ceygas asked.
"Years of getting used to the taste. It would of restored all of your energy." Kimura said.
"Thanks, but I won't need it." Ceygas said, getting back up.
Aika handed the box back to Aeon and Natasha.
"Well, despite the...short interference, the final match can resume. We still have to decide the winner." Aeon said.
"Wait, really? After all that? Sure, I want to continue fighting...but I'm kinda out of juice after using most of my power against Ceygas and then Xuko." Amij said.
Ceygas clicked her fingers...and nothing happened.
"Yup, I'm out of batteries aswell." Ceygas confirmed.
"Then you two will have to fight like ordinary humans, not Omnipotents. Whoever knocks out the other or out of the ring wins. Now let's go back in the area." Aeon said.
"Uh, pardon me, but...how am I gonna exactly explain to the top officials from Universe 1 about Sigmund? I'm pretty sure they'll want to know what happened to him." Tenyard said.
"Eh, just tell them that Siggy decided to take a long permanent vacation in some Universe after throwing a fit about losing the Tournament." Aika said, walking back into the arena.
"...Yeah...I'm sure they'll believe that for sure." Tenyard said, following everyone else back in the arena.
They arrived back there and Ceygas and Amij got back on the ring, standing against each other.
"Still think you can beat me without throwing lightning at me?" Amij asked.
"I can easily kick your ass, with or without powers. So don't worry about me." Ceygas said.
"We'll see about that." Amij smirked.
"Alright. Let the match resume!" Aeon said.
Amij and Ceygas immediately charged at each other.
They both punched themselves in the face, knocking the other away from themselves.
Ceygas kicked Amij in the face and he kicked her in her knee.
Ceygas just slapped him in the face before headbutted her in the stomach.
Both of them just began blocking each other's kicks and punches.
Ceygas blocked Amij's kick and broke his leg with her elbow
"AH!" Amij yelled.
Ceygas then punched Amij in the stomach and then kicked him in the leg before he could even try to attack.
Amij tried to punch Ceygas but she dodged and smacked him in the face once more, knocking him back.
Amij was now standing on one leg at the end of the ring, looking very injuried and too tired to continue.
Ceygas was standing there, looking at Amij, she looked ready to deliver the final blow.
Amij looked behind him before he looked back at Ceygas
Ceygas ran towards Amij before she jumped, aiming her leg at Amij, with enough force in the kick to send him out of the ring.
Amij at that moment ducked down...and Ceygas launched herself out of the ring and hits the ground.
Amij opened his eyes and got up. He turned to see Ceygas laying on the ground, looking confused and a bit tired.
The Omnipotents just stood there and remained silent, trying to process what just happened.
Aeon and Natasha blinked.
"...Well...since...Ceygas is outside the ring and Amij is still standing...AMIJ WINS THE FINAL MATCH AND IS THE WINNER OF THIS YEAR'S TOURNAMENT!" Aeon yelled.
The Omnipotents(except Doama) from 7, aswell as other Omnipotents cheered, all except Universe 3, Kimura and a few Omnis.
"YAY!" Naan cheered.
"THAT'S MY BOY!" Ray smiled.
"He was gonna win. I called it." Doama said.
"...You knew he was gonna win?" Akmotoi asked.
"He is the classic underdog type. The underdogs are always the ones who win these tournaments and survival shows. It's a running theme that I'm getting sick of, really." Doama said.
"Oh, don't ruin the moment, monsieur." Ollyap said.
Ceygas raised her head.
"...Well...I should probably be mad about this...but I am too tired to give a crap." Ceygas said, before she dropped on the ground.
The Omnipotents ran to Amij who stood there, happily smiling as Naan hugged him, taking Amij by surprise before high-fiving Ray, Emylln, Hajon and Mibyll.
The Omnipotents from 3 and Kimura walked up to Ceygas and helped her get up.
"Well, atleast you made it to second place. Better than nothing." Garflec said.
"I guess." Ceygas sighed, before she turned her head to Amij
Amij got picked up by the Omnipotents, doing the Hip Hip Hooray and when he turned his head to Ceygas, he gave her a thumbs up
Ceygas simply stared, folding her arms and turned her back to Amij.
While her back was turned, Ceygas secretely smiled to herself.
Amij then looked up and looked confused.
He saw the 12 original Omnipotents sitting on the seats. Sephira waved at him while Mammon winked at him.
Amij was confused but winked back regardless.
The 11 transparent forms of the Omnipotents vanished while Khora got up and walked away.
The Omnipotents placed Amij back on the floor as Aeon and Natasha walked to him with the box, containing the Infinite Knowledge.
"Amij, for winning the Tournament, you receive...the power of infinite Knowledge. take it. It's your's now. All you have to do is grab the ball and the knowledge will be your's." Aeon said, handing him the box.
Amij opened the box and looked at the orange glowy ball, thinking deeply.
"...Hm...I have a better idea...hey, Lalog." Amij said.
"Yes?" Lalog asked.
"...Can...you somehow transfer all the knowledge from the ball to everyone here?" Amij asked.
Lalog and most of the Omnipotents raised their eyebrows
"...I...believe I can...but why?" Lalog asked.
"I'll tell you after a second. Now do your thing." Amij said.
Lalog looked at the ball and her eyes glew orange.
The ball flew out of the box and it expanded in size. It grew bigger before the entire room got engulfed by a orange light.
When the light faded away, the ball was gone aswell and everyone stood there, blinking.
"...Wow...so...that's how our Universes became a thing?" Negak asked.
"...Did I just see large talking Insect aliens?" Acynna asked, looking disgused.
"Well, now I know why human's aren't a thing in Universe 8." Aika said, holding her head, trying to comprehend all the knowledge that was crammed in her head.
"....So, despite that mindfuck, Amij, why did you decide to share the knowledge with everyone instead of using it for yourself?" Dilon asked.
"That's easy." Amij said.
He looked at everyone.
"Sigmund believed that we would waste the Knowledge and thought that he was the only one who could use it for his Universe. But I'm pretty sure most of us are capable of using the Knowledge for the good of all of our worlds, people and the families that we love. We're gonna use the Knowledge to prove Sigmund wrong and show that we aren't as stupid as he thought of us. Let's show him that we, as Omnipotents, can help make our Universes better than before!" Amij said.
The Omnipotents looked at each other and nodded, cheering in response.
Ray wrapped his arm around Amij.
"Nice words there, kiddo." Ray smiled.
Amij turned to Ray, smiling.
"Thanks." Amij said.
"Well, that was something. Would of you of used the ball the same as he did?" Garflec asked Ceygas.
"...Honestly, I don't know. But, it doesn't matter. Now all of us know shit that Lalog shoved in that ball anyways." Ceygas said.
Kimura placed her hand on Ceygas's shoulder.
"...You and I can still be friends and see each other again one day, right?" Kimura asked
Ceygas turned to Kimura, thinking, before she looked back at her and nodded in response.
"Awesome. Well, see you next time, Casey." Kimura smiled before she walked back to Jasmine.
"...Seems like you have a new friend." Putgerr smiled.
"You better not think of replacing us with her." Garflec said.
"Pft, yeah, right." Ceygas said, rolling her eyes.
Aeon and Natasha looked at each other, smiling as they turned their heads to the Omnipotents who were still cheering.
This year's Tournament was now officially over.
EPILOGUE
In Universe 3.
The sound of the door being unlocked was heard as Ceygas entered in her house, looking very tired.
"I'm hooome." Ceygas said.
Ceygas slowly walked up to her furniture...before she collapsed on it out of exhaustion.
"...Finally, it's over. I can enjoy some peace and quiet again." Ceygas said.
Ceygas then sat properly on her furniture and folded her arms.
"...Now that I think about it...I din't really get that much out of this Tournament. After putting up with loud-mouthed Omnipotents, annoying challenges, fighting against a teenager at the end, a demon who was apparently responsible for me being an Omnipotent and ending up on second place...I din't really get anything valuable, besides some minor Knowledge...wow, this was a waste of time." Ceygas sighed.
A noise was heard from her phone, something was sent to her.
Ceygas picked her phone and checked it.
She was sent the picture of her and Kimura, the one they took before the semi-finals.
Ceygas...slightly smiled at it.
"...Then again...it wasn't really that bad." Ceygas said.
In Universe 1
It cuts to Jasmine's hidden town, where all the aliens saved from Sigmund's lab currently were at.
Jasmine and Kimura were standing on a podium as a large crowd of aliens gathered in front of them. Yhan, Yvet and Toros were in the crowd.
Jasmine and Kimura looked at each other and nodded as Jasmine looked at the aliens.
"Everyone, I have good news! Our enemy, Sigmund Clair, has been finally defeated! With him gone, they will have no choice but to shut down the lab and will stop trying to hunt you down! Today is a victory for us!" Jasmine announced.
The aliens cheered in response.
Kimura smiled as she looked at the crowd.
"But even if Sigmund is dead, the war isn't over just yet. There are still plenty of rotten people who need to be fought before Universe 1 can finally change it's ways and redeem the system. By working together with the other Universes, we can make that happen. But for now, we celebrate!" Jasmine said.
The aliens applauded and cheered at the same time
Kimura, while looking at the crowd, she spotted something weird.
She saw a blue transparent form of her mother, Fujiko, who was standing there, smiling at Kimura
Kimura rubbed her eyes and her mother wasn't there.
She figured that the chemicals form her brain were playing tricks on her or she was simply tired.
Jasmine turned to Kimura
"Are you okay?" Jasmine asked.
"Huh? Oh, I'm okay. Well, seems like you have a lot of work to do here." Kimura said.
"Yeah. What are you gonna do?" Jasmine asked
"...Well, the Sweet Shop will reopen itself now that I've got my issues solved...and when I have free time...I'll try to help you guys as best as I can." Kimura said.
"You don't have to. But I appreciate it." Jasmine smiled
Kimura turned to Jasmine, nodding before she walked away, with a smile on her face.
In the Omnipotent Tavern.
Aika and Milana were sitting at the counter, it appears the one running the establishment was Obaris, the Omnipotent of Dreams as he handed a glass of whiskey to Aika.
She was getting texted by Dietz, apparently they gave each other their phone numbers at one point
'Yo, I saw what happened back there. Shit was whacked!'
'Yup. I'll text you more about it, later.'
'Kay'
"Who were you discussing with?" Milana asked.
"Oh, just a new friend of mine, no biggie." Aika smiled, putting the phone aside.
"Hm, I see." Milana said, drinking from her glass.
"That was quite a shitshow that happened back there." Aika said.
"Yeah...good thing I was there to stop it with the scroll." Milana said.
"I'm glad you did. If you din't, we probably would of had to kill Aeon in order to kill the demon thing." Aika said.
"I appreciate you saying that." Milana said.
"What you think you are gonna do after we go back to doing what we usually do?" Aika asked.
"Go back to training my students. Now that I confronted myself in the Waterfall of Truth, I'm not gonna let the same mistake repeat itself like it did with Sidra. I will ask my students if they have any troubles and I will help them as much as I can." Milana said.
"Glad to hear that. Well, me, Simon and 8's F will help Miyama repair what's left of the damage caused by those five shitheads. Then we can finally move on with our lives." Aika said.
"That's good. A new beginning for everyone." Milana said.
Cirak was also there, sitting at a table with Mibyll and Myllil
"That was a fucking disaster. If it was up to me, I would of put a bullet in Sigmund's skull before he could of unleashed that freaky demon ghost." Cirak said.
"Atleast it din't escalate further beyong that. Now we can go back to protecting our society from any potential threats." Mibyll said.
"Indeed...but I'm still pissed about ending up on Bottom 11. The same number as our Universe nonetheless! Our Universe ended up in last tournament's finale. I would die happy if we actually won a damn Tournament." Cirak said.
"We can always count on the other Omnipotents from our Universe to win the next Tournament." Mibyll said.
"You're right about that. Mibyll, Myllil, in case any of you end up in the next Tournament, I want you two to actually win for our Universe 11!" Cirak yelled.
"Sure. I'll gladly bust a few skulls around if I get selected." Myllil said, drinking from her cup of coffee.
In Universe 9
Lionel was in the throne room, sitting on his throne, reading one of the scrolls that Iknaa gave him, all about Universe 6.
Liern entered in the room, looking at Lionel.
"...Uh, hi...Lionel." Liern said.
Lionel looked up from the scroll, looking at Liern.
"...Oh, hi." Lionel said.
"What are you reading there?" Liern asked.
"Ah, Iknaa gave me this. It helps me find out more about Universe 6. Turns out the Morphers originally came from there." Lionel said.
"Oh, that's neat...hey, I have a question" Liern said.
"...Yeah?" Lionel asked.
"...If Veradis went about Rita's death a different way...do you think...do you think that she, Leonard, Lemures and Lea would still be alive and would be here with us?" Liern asked.
Lionel looked at the ground.
"...Honestly, I don't know. I don't really know...but it's pointless thinking about it now." Lionel said.
"...Right...sorry to bother you." Liern sighed as he turned around.
"Liern, wait." Lionel said, standing up
Liern turned back to Lionel
"What?" Liern asked
Lionel walked up to him, putting his hand on his shoulder.
"...If you ever need to talk say something...you know you can always talk to me, okay?" Lionel asked.
"...Sure. Of course." Liern nodded, sounding surprised.
Liern then walked out of the room.
Lionel watched him leave as he sat back on the throne and continued reading.
In Universe 6
Hikrat was sitting on his throne while Iknaa was sitting at a table, writing a letter directed to one of the Universe leaders on a papyrus.
"Bah, that was a catastrophe. Honestly, I wonder if it's even worth participating in these tournaments." Hikrat sighed.
"I'm sure we'll win next time, oh wise pharaoh." Iknaa said, while writing.
"Hmph....so...what became of that lunatic's body anyways?" Hikrat asked
Iknaa turned to Hikrat, smiling.
"...You shouldn't bother yourself thinking about that, my pharaoh." Iknaa said.
It cuts to Hasina's cave.
Where Sigmund's corpse was getting devoured by Hasina's insects while Hasina was watching.
Back to the palace.
"Alright then...I take it your time on this Tournament was a waste of time then?" Hikrat asked.
Iknaa dropped the papyrus on the table
"Actually, no. I had a fun time. I discovered a lot about the other Universes's culture and the differences between our world with their's. With what I learned in that Tournament, I have been thinking of some...changes." Iknaa said.
"Changes?" Hikrat asked.
"Why yes. You see, their cars are way faster than our horses and camels. It takes us days to reach a destination but with a car, we can make it there in minutes, even seconds." Iknaa smiled
"...I...suppose so." Hikrat said, sweat dropping.
"And those devices called 'TV's were made as a way for people to amuse themselves. Oh, and they use phones instead of sending letter's. We could use the phone that you got from the leaders to send them message's that way instead of letter's, don't you think?" Iknaa asked.
"...Maybe?" Hikrat said.
"Oh, also plane's, they are more faster cars and giant birds, that's for sure. Just imagine the possibilities, my lord." Iknaa smiled
Hikrat puts his hands on his ear's, not believing what he was hearing right now.
In Universe 2
In Zeno's castle
Gafust was sitting on his throne while Zeno was sitting on his throne, playing on the laptop. Okail, Noir, Lekulia and Ashley happened to be there aswell.
"...Wow...that's what happened?" Ashley asked.
"Yup. That blonde dipshit almost fucked up everything. Honestly, I wish I got blow him and that demon up at the same time. He is the reason why I got kicked out first." Gafust said.
"Well, now you know how I felt when I was kicked out because of that...Ashley's mom." Lekulia said.
"Bottom 12 sucks. Universe 2 was barely in the last Tournament and we've been in two finale's in a row. I finally got my time to shine and I got booted out instantly. That's lame as fuck." Gafust said.
"I wish I was there. Maybe I could of defeated the demon myself with the power of Love." Ashley said.
"Ashley, enough with the love crap already." Gafust sighed.
Okail turned to Ashley.
"...So, you watch Sailor Moon. I saw your outfit on that Tournament episode. You looked cool." Okail said.
"Yup. I also wear a mask but I din't wear it at the time. I always wear that costume to fight crime." Ashley said.
"That's nice. Can I join you when you're fighting bad guys? I have a costume of my own." Okail said.
"...Can I join too?" Zeno asked, looking up from his laptop.
"Uh, sure, why not." Ashley shrugged.
"YAY!" Zeno and Okail cheered.
Gafust and Lekulia sweat dropped in response.
"...And I'm out of here." Gafust said, walking out of the room, followed up by Lekulia.
In an alternate Universe 10.
Sothot was in the Snow village, sitting on the bench with Alison who was currently reading one of his poems
"...So, what do you think?" Sothot asked.
"...It's pretty nice. You would of made a fortune if you published these to the rest of the world." Alison said.
"Probably. I stopped writing these for awhile after I stopped talking to people for a time. Till I arrived at Eamon's temple I started writing again." Sothot said.
"...I'm sorry about what happened...back then with Grandmother." Alison said
"It's okay. It's not your fault. I just wish things ended differently. But now it doesn't matter." Sothot said.
"Atleast you are with us now. And dad is happy that you finally accepted him." Alison said.
"...Eamon told me about your alternate reality. I refused at first because I was angry with everything...refusing to accept your father being my son...and all that." Sothot said.
"...But you are okay now, right?" Alison asked.
"I guess I am...I just wish things ended differently. If only I knew she was pregnant, I could of won custody and raised him on my own...but there's nothing I can do now, except spend my last years that I have with you guys...and the first thing I'll do is apologise to my actual son when I'll meet him in the afterlife." Sothot said.
"Until that happens, you can stay with us. Mom enjoys reading your books." Alison said.
"Huh, she does?" Sothot asked, smiling
"Yeah. She really likes them. I should introduce to two of my friends, Ponek and Sandra." Alison said.
"All in due time, kid. All in due time." Sothot said.
In the actual Universe 10
The Omnipotents were in Noel's ice castle.
They were in the meeting room, each holding a glass full of ice cream.
"...That was...quite an event." Nonias said.
"Yup." Noel said, eating some of his ice cream with a spoon.
"I'm just glad that we made it out of this alive." Mont said, awkwardly smiling.
"Yeah." Sanar said.
"Would of been nice if we won the competiton." Noel said.
"I did win the Tournament from those years ago. Winning a second time isn't really necessary." Ponek said.
"It's unfortunate that you got cheated out of the tie challenge because of that Kimura woman. If I was there, I would of gave her and Clair a piece of my mind." Dilon said.
"...It wasn't really Kimura's fault. I think Sigmund forced her to do it. And now he is gone." Naan said.
"I suppose you're right...so, besides Sigmund, was everyone else nice to you?" Dilon asked.
"Um, yeah, of course they were. I became friends with Amij." Naan said.
"...Just friends, right?" Dilon asked.
"Amij is cute but he is way older than me. We're just friends." Naan said.
"And I prefer it stays that way. So, did the tournament help get rid of your fears of strangers from other Universes?" Dilon asked.
"...I think so. After everyone was so nice to me, I don't think I'll be that afraid anymore if I meet new people from other Universes." Naan said.
"That's good to hear." Dilon smiled.
"...Also, I met this huge cute horse thing with five tails in one of the challenges." Naan said.
In Universe 7
Ray and Amij were in their house, sitting on the furniture.
"Well, Jimbo, I'm very proud of you." Ray asked.
"What, you weren't before?" Amij asked.
"No, no, I am proud of you in general. I'm just glad you made it to the top is what I'm saying." Ray said.
"Thanks, Ray. I met some really cool people in the Tournament...but I din't ask any of the girls on a date." Amij frowned.
"I'm sure you'll get your chance one day." Ray said.
"Yeah." Amij said.
"So, anything else that happened during your stay there? Anything special?" Ray asked.
Amij looked down.
"...Well, Aeon and Natasha left to fight that Xuko guy and Marick showed up to be our temporary host. After me and Ceygas won the Semi-Finals challenge, he had us ask questions and found the answers with his Prophet Eye thing." Amij said.
"What did you ask him?" Ray asked.
"...I asked him about my parents." Amij said.
"...And?" Ray asked.
"...My parents were Franklin Curtis and Jean Bauer. My dad was a pilot and my mom was a waitress. Both of them died in a car crash when I was still a baby...then I was moved into the orphanage." Amij said.
Ray sighed, putting his hand on Amij's shoulder.
"...I'm sorry, Jim." Ray said.
"...It's awful what happened...but it could of been worse." Amij said.
Amij turned his head to Ray, smiling.
"Atleast I still have you...so I'm not totally alone." Amij said.
Ray smiled in response.
"...I'm glad to hear you say that, Jim." Ray said.
In Universe 0.
Aeon and Natasha were sitting in front of Mako's old temple. The one the Omnipotents from the last Tournament were at in the last Tournament.
"...And so ends another Tournament." Aeon said.
"Yeah...and an old nightmare came back but we put it to rest for good." Natasha said.
"Atleast you managed to avenge your parents." Aeon said.
"...Yeah. Their souls were released after Ceres and Pax killed Xuko the first time...but I got some closure by taking out their murderer...and I'm glad you're still alive." Natasha said.
"If you and the Omnipotents din't help me expel Xuko out of my body...who knows what he would of made my body do...he probably would of used it...to kill you and everyone else. I wouldn't of forgave myself if that happened." Aeon said.
"Well, it din't happen and it's over now. That's what matters." Natasha said.
"You're right...back there, in my mind, when I fought Xuko...Master Mako was there...he appeared to help me defeat Xuko." Aeon said.
"...He did?" Natasha asked.
Aeon nodded.
"...Huh...well...did he say anything?" Natasha asked.
"...He said...he was proud of us." Aeon smiled.
"...That does sound like Master Mako." Natasha smiled.
"Yup." Aeon said.
"...So, guess we'll start a new Tournament after the next 20 years?" Natasha asked.
"Perhaps...or maybe we could consider Marick's suggestion of a Guardian Tournament and make that happen?" Aeon guessed.
At that moment, the sound of a bell tolling was heard. It sounded familiar.
(And since I did this for the Universe 0 story, I'm gonna include another song as the credits are rolling):
