The Final Act – The Avenger
After the group returns from the Earth’s Realm they happen to find Rave, Kota, and Vadori dead. Finding their corpses devour only leaving them with flesh and bones. However, Sin and Jin are left standing on a heavy fight against Glyph and Rei, both armies’s collaborating to destroy the last remaining Tainted Ones.
Original Plan
(Rei send Ten to the Earth’s Realm, predicting that Ray and half of his team would follow him on that same realm after Ten. Leaving the remaining Tainted Ones exposed on their realm easy to attack as the group has been split in two.)

Pre-Story.
Meanwhile somewhere under ground into the Underworld.. Rei’s laughter was heard in the distance.

(Camera panning from left to right into view of the underworld belonging to the Blood God’s, where a flow of lava filled the room below a rocky platform where Rei and Ten stand in the middle of their thrones.)

The woman wearing red robe on top of her naked small body, glancing to her big brother with yellow glimmering eyes under the dark hood.

She slid her arms around Ten’s neck, collapsing them tight so her breasts press up against his torso. Ten in return collapse his arms around her stomach before reaching his palms to squeeze the woman’s soft tender rear with both bare hands. He mutters a small chuckle after his actions, glancing back with the same colored eyes.

Rei: “The Tainted Ones? You say...
Ten: “I know for a reason that half of them will follow him if I lure him to Earth’s realm.

Rei surf her fingertips along the scalp of Ten’s head, pushing her fingers through his hair. Her glimmering yellow eyes searching for his while she thought of the idea, tilting her head curiously.

Rei: “Injunction of Glyph and us… There is possibility for the remaining ones to be left on this side to be left vulnerable to attack while you keep our little brother occupied on the ot-

Rei was interrupted by Hibari with a loud yawn.
Hibari: “Occupy my nuts first. Then let’s talk.”
Rei smirked before releasing devious laughter intentionally.
Rei: “Heh, Not even if you were the last man in this world. Those nuts aren’t getting anywhere close to my face.”
She simply retreat a single hand from Ten’s head to extend her middle finger towards Hibari’s direction.
Hibari, muttering a small word “Bitch...”

Ten interrupted both of them.
Ten: “Alright, that’s enough you fucktard. Hibari, get a hold of Glyph. Rei stay put here, while I get a hold of Ray...”
(Camera zooms into Ten’s face with a devious expression left on his facial feature before the picture turns dark.)

The Encirclement Battle

A ball was thrown in the air before landing on top of a girl’s head. Ray laughed at Anaya’s clumsy timing while the children playing along the group had their tails swaying in excitement attempting to catch the ball again. The ball landed right in front of Ray’s feet, kicking the ball up to bounce the ball in balance against his thigh like a soccer player.

The three children laughing while shouting out in excitement again…
“Hey Mr. over here!”
Ray replied: “Alright, hang on.”
Ray finally stopped the ball for a second in his hands before smiling away at the children.
A man walked by next to Ray passing him, feeling an uneasy presence that caught him off guard. Ray’s eyes had terrifying expression with his eyes wide.

The man wearing skull on his left shoulder while using white coat over his body. Using long black sleeves with dark brown gloves over his bare hands, three spikes carved into his right shoulder. His eyes yellow.

The man stopped for a second without having to turn around to face Ray, and continue walking down the road carrying a bag on his left arm before sitting down on a bench close to a fountain in the central of the village after reaching inside the bag to eat small bread he just bought.

(Telepathy he communicated himself through Ray)
Unknown man: “I found you, Ray…”
….
Ray: “What… who are you?”
Unknown man: “Legato… Legato, the Night Crawler.”

(Intense sound in between)

Anaya: “Uhm, Ray?” Her ears fold back on her head with her tail in between her legs, unsure to ask of his sudden expression just now.
Ray turn to Anaya with a smile all the sudden while holding the ball still in his hands
“Hmnn?”
Anaya: “Well, H-huh… It’s nothing.” She then yelps after having the ball thrown to her.

The children shout to Anaya.
“Hey Lady! Hurry!”
“H-huh? Coming!”
Anaya was running back to the children while wondering in her mind. “What was that strange look on his face…it was frightening.”

Ray then slip his hand into his pocket taking out pair of thin sunglasses placing them over, covering his eyes.

Ray: “What do you want from me?”
Legato: “Your life…”
Legato chuckles: “Hm’hm”
Legato: “Perhaps that was a bit too dramatic. Actually I’m here as a messenger. That’s right. I come here to warn you. I’m afraid your life is going to end, today.
Ray: “What?”
Legato: “Do you think I’m lying to you?”

A small poor girl approach to the man known as legato sitting on the bench offer her a piece of his bread.

Ray move his eyes to the corner, merely turning his head while surprisingly observing legato’s reaction, he surf his hand over the small girl’s head.

“I haven’t given you a gift, have I?”

Legato slowly place his hand over her head, crushing her skull entirely.

Ray turn his body around completely surprised but in shocked after finding legato’s both hands in the air as if he was just playing with the little girl.

She happened to then run off with the bread in her hands laughing from his funny gesture.

Ray amazed from what he just witness but couldn’t understand what happened.

Legato was laughing intentionally from Ray’s reaction.
“Your reaction was better than I hoped”
“Your fun”
“Not to think that I could kill every man, woman, and child in a blink of an eye if I wanted too”
“Power of death is intoxicating”

Ray had his hands clenching into a fist. Sweat was running down his forehead while staring at this unknown man to him.

Legato: “Don’t be so much of hurry. You still have a little time left or perhaps you don’t.”
“Don’t worry, no one needs to get harmed…So wanna fight?”
Legato twisted his head back while glancing over his shoulder with a serious expression as he looked at Ray taunting him.

Ray stood there while clenching his teeth together as he remains looking at him with serious look.

Legato: “Wise choice, Oh, I almost forgot”
“It contains a little farewell gift, I’ll just leave it here...”

Legato left the bag on the bench before disappearing into the distance after walking away. Ray then walked over to the bench, looking closely inside the bag. His eyes widen before muttering to himself. “Brother...”

The Nightmare

Overnight Ray settled in Anaya’s house within the village. He sat in a room alone that the family provided him while sitting on the bed, leaning his back against the wall, thinking to himself of Legato’s statement
“This is little going away present, your life ends today.”

Ray: “What is he after...”
“Is he after my powers…?”
“No…”
“Is it him…?”

---Ray begin searching through his memories witnessing large sanctuary temple with dead people scatter across, blood painted on the walls through the corridors. Then the image switch Ray’s brother sitting on the King’s desk before looking over his shoulder as he waved to his brother.
“Oh, Hey Ray!”
Ray was standing there in shock while clenching his hands into a fist, trembling from the scene of innocent people dead with tears merely on the brink of his eyes. The images then switch from the temple completely obliterated after being destroyed. ---

“Uhm...Ray?”
Anaya peeks inside Ray’s room before watching him with furious blue eyes, a maddening face on his expression
Out of surprised she yelps and took a step back before Ray turns his attention to her.
“Oh, it’s only you…” Ray smiled to the woman having normal ordinary face.
Anaya: “Huh?”
Ray: “I’m sorry, but I want to be alone right now…”
Anaya: “Well, Ray.”
Ray: “Yes?”
Anaya: “Uh, actually…”
“It’s muffin!”
Ray had a simple face now.
Ray: “What does that mean?”
Anaya: “Absolutely muffin!”
Ray: “Uh, go back to sleep silly”

The doors of the wooden house suddenly was heard opened.
Ray: “Something coming…”
On the other side of the room a chain metal was heard moving on the other side of the room of the house.
Ray: “Get down!”

Thousands of knifes seem to penetrate through the house, obliterating the wooden small holes while puncturing holes through Ray’s room, Anaya took cover on the floor having her head covered as she screamed.

An unknown chuckled was heard from the other side of the room.

Unknown Man: “Ray! My name is Grimmer the Jaggerlock!”
“I’m here to send you to hell as you were promised!”

Ray: “Get out of here Anaya! The enemy is coming! Inform The Tainted Ones!
Anaya: “What do you mean the Enemy?!”
“Who’s after you!?”
Ray: “Go No—!“

Grimmer tackled the wall in between the room before swinging his palm towards Ray’s neck, locking Ray’s back against the wall before blood spew out from his mouth.

Grimmer: “That was simple”
“Simple enough to make me think I’ve been wasting my life training to defeat you Ray.”

Grimmer, wearing red coat over his body with red stylish hair, chains were enveloped around the man’s arms while tapping his boots on the floor

Anaya grab a hold of a piece of wood, slamming it to the man’s back. He simply swings his arm out to punch Anaya.

Ray: “Don’t! ~”

Anaya then fell to the ground completely knocked out while Ray was still hold against the wall by the large male in front of him holding him by the neck with a single hand.

Ray: “Gnnh!”

Grimmer: “Do you know what’s it like training 20 years? Day in, Day out, nothing but training. It was like Hell itself”
“But once I kill you, those days will be over!”
“Five counts until the end!”
Grimmer grasp his hand into a fist before generating thick black aura.
(Wheezing and thundering sound)
“Five, Four, Three, Two, One!”

Ray then took a grip of the man’s wrist swinging his right leg up to Grimmer’s face, pushing him off balance before running out of the room after sliding right out the main door, leaving his Katana on the living room

Grimmer then walked out the door while looking over towards the direction Ray ran out.
“Just like I was told. He’s a complete chicken shit~!”

Anaya begin waking up slowly after being knocked out.
Anaya: “There’s something wrong with him. Ever since this afternoon. I need to warn the others…”

The people of the village begin talking amongst themselves after hearing the loud sounds.
“Someone attacked Anaya’s house!”
“Who~!?”

Ray was running through the village while shouting out to the people.
Ray:”Stay away from me! Keep the way clear in front of and behind me!”
“Get down on the ground until I’m out of village!”

The villagers stepped out of their house.
“It’s Ray, what’s wrong with him?”

Grimmer simply stood there after hearing Ray’s voice in the distance from passing couple roads down each villagers house. Grimmer then chuckle to himself before placing his hand out generating thick aura in his palm.
(Wheezing and thundering noise)
Grimmer: “I know what you trying to do… and it isn’t gonna work.”
“Go up with this town, Ray!”

Ray glance back with a horrific look on his face, shouting out.
As a thick blast was released from the man’s palm covering half of the village, men, woman, and children were killed almost instantly as the small helpless town was almost at complete obliteration.

The debris of shattering wood were flying in the air as dust seem to be pick up around the surrounding half village that was just destroyed.

Ray was lying down on the floor with blood running down from his face. He slowly stood up from the ground after taking a glimpse around his surroundings, seeing people dead. Children still holding onto their teddy bears as some were lying down underneath the rumble of the village houses.

Ray watched in horrific scene while his eyes begin to tear up.

On the other hand, Grimmer was laughing while thinking he killed Ray. He was laughing manically while jumping in joy.
“I did it. I did it!”
“He was nothing!”
“Is that all there was to the legendary Blood God!?”
“Now I’m free! Now I can live the life I want too!”

In a snap a thick blood tentacle puncture through the man’s right eye, twisting in a spiral shape while pushing through his skull reaching towards the back end before the long tentacle retracted back in the shadows. Afterwards two deadly wave of energy blast came at once hitting Grimmer’s torso, exploding the perimeter around him. His chest was immensely blooding with his torso tearing up as his heart came into view from outside, acid was running down his skin still burning him from the blast.

Grimmer was left kneeling down while trying to grab a hold of himself and wondering what the hell just happened, glancing up towards the distance ahead of him. Grimmer draft his fingers over his face to cover his missing eye while looking with his other eye in surprise.
“H-huh...”

A shadow standing in the midst of destruction as Ray stood with blue devious eyes staring to Grimmer furiously.

Grimmer: “It’s like… It’s like I’m having a nightmare…those eyes… it’s like looking into the eyes of the Diablo!”

During this time Ray remains standing looking furiously into the man who just killed half of the village he knew. Ray raises his index finger up pointing towards Grimmer.

Grimmer then started running shitless after watching Ray’s action, heading into the woods before hiding behind a tree, attempting to heal from the heavy deep wound engrave into his body which was impossible by now.
Grimmer: “No- no... I can’t do this!”

Grimmer was looking down to his wounds before lifting his eyes up, Ray’s palm was grabbing a hold of his face generating enough dark red aura.
Ray: “People are dead. They’re dead...”
Grimmer: “Stop… Don’t kill me! I can tell you who send me…! It was Tenz-

Grimmer’s head obliterated into pieces. A mere chuckle was heard in the distance not afar from Ray. A portal dimension had opened up, in front of it his brother. Ten stood with his arms crossed.
Ray: “Should’ve known it was you.”
Ray’s yellow eyes narrow to the side while looking at his brother.
Ten: “I was waiting for you, brother…?”
Ray launch his body forward with two dark auras’s surrounding his palms.
Ten stood with his arms crossed over his chest before skipping back into the portal.
Ray: “Come back you coward! I’m coming after Yoouuu!!!”
Soon enough both dissipated into the portal with Ray’s ignorance of anger consuming his mind and heart, following Ten only having in mind of killing him.

The Distress Call

The full moon at night have paved clear visible path through the forest. Anaya was running while exhaling and inhaling sharply. She was carrying Ray’s sword on her back while wearing only a white dress. After arriving upon Particular Mountain, 2 miles out from the village, two huge doors appear before the small woman. She clenched both hands into a fist, slamming them against the doors.
Anaya: “Please! Please! Open the door, Ray is in trouble!”

Shortly after the two doors open slowly as they echoed. A woman was found standing behind the door, taller than Anaya but older as well after answering her call.

The woman standing was wearing simple pajamas with her arms stretching above her head, groaning but almost moaning to a tone. The pale woman had yellow like eyes with her neko ears bending forward, her tail swaying from the motion of her thick hips moving from side to side.
Woman: “Meeooow…Hanna is at your service, how can I hel-- Oh, it’s you, Anaya. What do you Nya-want? And can you stop making such a loud nya- ruckus, everyone is asleep.”
Hanna: “Hey, isn’t that Ray’s sword on your back?”
Hanna: ‘Wait a second, your stealing now!? Oh, Nya, how dare you do that now?”
Hanna collapses her slender arms around Anaya’s head, pressing Anaya’s head in between her breast, which her cleavage was quite big and revealing.
Hanna: “My touchy little good girl is becoming a naughty kitty…” She said in a seductive tone afterward the last two words.
Anaya was mumbling through her breast while kicking her feet on the floor before having Hanna release her head.

Anaya inhale before looking up to the woman.
“Y-you perv! And I don’t steal! Anyways–Ray is in trouble! This guy showed up and tear apart half of the village down in Oasis District!”
Anaya inhaling and exhaling deeply, tired from the run while glancing up at Hanna with worried eyes. Hanna changes her expression from lazy and funny to concern attitude.

Hanna: “Alright then, Nya~ let’s get a hold of the others and wake up them. Let’s go darling. After all, I am Ray’s pet. So this is quite a concern to me too.”
Hanna winked at Anaya with a smile.
Anaya nodded after following the woman into the temple, the two large doors close right behind them, echoing once more.

The Round Table

Deep inside the heart of the mountain a meeting was announced for emergency wake up. Every member of The Tainted Ones presented themselves sitting on their throne surrounding the round table in a chamber like room that contain carving designs of the gods existence in their world including the blood god. In the middle of the table, Ray’s sword was left as evidence for what was about to be fore tale.

Anaya was intimidated by every member. She stood nervously, Hanna approach pressing her fingers over Anaya’s shoulder. Anaya glance behind her shoulder while looking up to the woman who happened to smile at her.
Hanna: “Go ahead silly, tell them. Don’t be nervous.”
Anaya nodded before taking a glimpse around the chamber.
Anaya: “I-I announce myself before you. To report that Ray is in trouble, he fought a man known as Grimmer Jaggerlock…H-he destroyed half of the village down in Oasis district, my home village…a lot of people died tonight…(She mutter to herself but enough to be heard) b-but Grimmer was killed by Ray afterwards...”

Bella: “That is quite tragic news. Those people didn’t deserve to die.”

Anaya: “I know…but the real reason I am here…I followed Ray and a man in the distance was standing close to him…Ray called him brother and followed him…”

Sin cleared his throat.
Sin: “Brother you say? Ten you speak of? Then it is quite troublesome. Ten, posses the same powers and abilities just as Ray does. He carries out with evil intentions and has quite a reputation amongst us. Luring him into a trap could mean trouble for him and us.”

Kota: “You fool; probably coming out here would be the last thing you should’ve done. You have exposed us to danger.”
Anaya: “I-I’m sorry!”
Madeline: “Aye, it wasn’t her fault. She was worried about Ray. So should we be concern about this. The only fool here is your own damn arrogance for not seeing her intentions.”
Madeline began rubbing her temple.

Jin: “If so, let them come and we’ll just have to deal with it ourselves. It’s not like we can’t fight. But Ray probably does not need our help, perhaps we should send at least one or two of us in aid, agree?”

Vadori: “Agreed.”
Others simply nodded to the statement and silently agreed.

A sudden similar presence was felt near their home base.

Manny: “Well, guess who’s here now.”

Sin: “Madeline, get Hanna and Anaya out of here if things get rusty. Then after escorting them out and once your outside find a way to aid Ray. Everyone else, let’s prepare for battle.”

A God’s fight

A man was standing amongst the sky. The man was taking a close observation at the main doors, expecting the Tainted Ones to exit out. The two main doors slowly open as they echoed. Couples of the shadows were walking out from the moon’s reflection preventing them to see their identity.

Three more shadows appeared behind the clouds close to where the unknown man was standing in the sky.
Manny: “So, it’s been a while, huh?”
Unknown man: “So it has been.”
Crimson: “Let get this over with.”
Dyavol: “Let’s get started then.”

Next Chapter: The Center Storm

Crimson had spontaneously moved at high frequency of speed, shooting straight forward to the unknown male. Not a split second a loud thundering impact was heard within the clouds, creating the air wave of the impact. The effect caused the clouds to disperse their surroundings with clear skies. Crimson’s red eyes glimmering in the night with his fist being blocked by the unknown man blocked the attack with a single index finger.

Unknown man: “Are you going in without a hint of a plan? You are quite the daredevil, Crimson.”
Crimson: “Someone’s got to strike first, huh?”

Dyavol the demon shadow collapse his palms together before creating a scythe after retreating his hands apart, electricity and ghastly shadows surrounded him with immense visible aura. The demon quickly dissipated into thin air, teleporting through the shade underneath the man’s side stomach, which created a shadow based on the reflection of the moon’s light. At quick rapid state the scythe slither out in swiping over the unknown man’s back. The unknown man had raised a green shield behind him, preventing the scythe to go any further from his attack

Unknown man: “You have good sense not to attack me one-by-one.”

Crimson had started throwing various fists to swing at rapid motions which each second by his fist were delivered, quicker than shadows couldn’t follow. The man who was confronted by the two happened to swing his head from side to side, picking at the same pace with a calm gesture on his expression before punching Crimson’s stomach with a single knee, causing him to distance away from the man. Dyavol slip out from the shadow itself at midair that was merely giving away from the moon based on the man’s structure. His scythe generated a dark aura that was released at a single swing in mid air; the blast would come towards the unknown man before dissipating in the last moment. His image shattered into pieces before reforming out at a distance from them.

Dyavol: “We were close…”
Unknown Man: “Still so sluggish Dyavol?”
Crimson: “I’ve had enough out of you. I’m taking you down.”

Crimson’s body began to glow with red aura surrounding the man’s body, creating electricity which sparks against his aura, creating dark smoke that surrounded his body. The lighting grew before starting to stream across the smoke enveloped around the man before being visible again. Crimson stood with three skulls floating above his body with red stone covering his arms up to his back, from the same stone large wings were disperse widely behind his back and a tail stone forming behind his back from within the same stone. Inside the stone fire ran across at constant speed having to keep the stone generating its power immensely with fire blade creating within the palm of his hand.
Crimson: “Do not expect any mercy from me now.”

A shadow was standing over the tip of a pine tree while keeping his arms crossed, this man speak to himself during the battle.

Man: “So you guys won’t let him use his full potential. Silly, you people haven’t even grasped the depths of his power.”

Crimson instantly flew forward to the unknown man creating thick air waves behind him which blew some trees down, the firing blade had been slashed forward to the man creating thick stones that manifested in the air right behind the force of power being delivered. This created thick large stone firing spikes that manifested in the sky before the man quickly jumped further into the air preventing them from reaching. Crimson then grasp both hands together swinging his firing blade upwards.
Crimson: “Take this!”

Crimson had manifested large tsunami like wave firing stone created from the tip of his sword seeming to impale the man’s body, creating a white smoke that surround after impact. Strider’s tail and back begin to glow a dark red aura over his body before the wolf took a holding posture as if grasping the sky. The wolf like creature opens its mouth wide to release a red beam that shot across behind the man’s body. Kota the thick manifested his own attack by swinging his claws at thin air; the pressure of swinging his claws caused the force to be delivered by air, which was invisible to see. This created larger explosion within the center where all their attacks had being executed and combined together.

Strider: “Excuse us Crimson but this is not a time to take him out alone.”
Crimson: “Do as you wish, it was never meant to be a one-to-one fight.”

A distance familiar voice was heard where everyone had been caught off guard, moving their attention where the man stood with his arms crossed.

Unknown man: Combo, Surprise attacks, Distractions, Decoys, You will need to combine every strategy you can think of…If you are to have any hope at all of striking me.”

Rave: “Sounds like fun!”

Rave manipulated her weapons wrapped around the woman’s forearms which were chains. The chains rapidly swing forward directly going towards unknown man. The man simply slaps them to the side before twirling his hand to have a tight fix of her chain in his grasp.
Rave: “Do you still think you can pretend not to care about our numbers?”

Vadori’s legs were wearing a long socks but using thick armor like hierro wrapped around her feet up to her fore chins were about to come down in an axe kick coming directly above the unknown’s man, simply moving his palm to let his forearms block the woman’s legs, creating thundering noise after impact which shook the ground.
Vadori: “Good!”

Dyavol’s was holding his scythe in the air, generating all the shadows that generated in his sword consuming them into his scythe, prepared to inflict on the man’s body. He threw his scythe, the scythe spin at instant circles coming down to rip his body.

The man closed his eyelids at the moment before finally manifested two bladed weapons in his palm that had a grasp of Rave’s chains. His blade rose towards the scythe before impact. The scythe spins at rapid state in circles against the blade, which caused light show of sparks against the two weapons. A crackling noise thundering from the block before the man simply twisted his blade to the side in pushing the scythe back towards the user’s weapon, doubling its speed. Dyavol manage to create a shadow shield against his weapon, however not able to hold his position which distance him further into the sky by the pure sheer force of pressure from his scythe until it came to a halt.

Bella interfere in the battle after imagining a large arm as the size of a continent coming out from the sky with a thick sword cutting through the clouds higher above the air, coming down towards the man. Kota and Rave had then back off in the last second after the large blade come down on him. The man manage to swing his blade above his head in slicing the huge thick bladed that came from the heavens, slicing it in half.

Bella: “Geese, we can even lay a scratch on him…”

Unknown Man: “Did you think you could simply bury me under superior number and brute strength? How naive”
Unknown Man: “Rather, I suspect the problem is that you and I simply have different definitions of what “strength” is.”
Unknown Man: “Allow me to enlighten you. Let me show what strength is.”

The man shattered his images in a second before forming in front of the woman name as Kota.
Unknown man: “It’s something like this.”

Kota who has not participated at all in the battle had another thing coming to him.

Kota reacted by lifting his right leg upwards but the man known as Glyph took the chance of swinging his blade down slicing across Kota’s leg, decapitating from it from him as he screamed in hatred afterwards, attempting to regain the strength with anger and swing his other leg at mid air above Glyph’s head. Before his leg was able to reach Glyph’s head, he stopped for a second before realizing his other leg was also decapitated with his lower body cut in half in the process as well. Kota’s body parts or what remain of him were falling from the sky shortly emotionlessly.
Unknown Man: “Humph.”

The man swings his sword down quickly to slack off the blood from his blade after having to kill another member of the group. Rave was falling from the sky with Kota, emotionless as well before impacting the ground eventually.

The other man who stood on the tip of the tree begins to speak: “Yup, Glyph isn’t just scary because he can use his god powers. Sure his abilities are freaking’ terrifying’, but there are plenty of guys that would rather die than follow him if that was all he had.”

Man continues to speak: “Its cause there’s not a person alive who can beat him at his own game. Ya’ll, can be prepared for the sky to fall or the Earth to tear open…Ya’ll can gather the facts and prepare for every misfortune under the sun…and Ya’ll, still won’t be ready for Glyph.”

Glyph remains a hold of Rave’s chains and extending the chains outwards to Vadori before quickly wrapping them around the woman’s arms but almost instantly she happened to feel his blade penetrated through the woman’s chest, inserting the blade through her heart.

Dyavol open his stitched out mouth screaming with his teeth revealing upon his mouth as ghastly like shadows released from his lips. He raised his scythe directly towards the God, Glyph simply side step before narrowing his eyes to the side to stare at the man.

Glyph: “Nor a mere shadow can touch me.”

Dyavol’s back started to tear apart in releasing a lot of blood, which Glyph happened to slice through his spinal cord.

Rave and Dyavol slowly fell from the sky as well, completely emotionless too.

Bella watched intently on how everyone was being defeated so easily.
Bella: “No way in Hell...”
Bella: “This can not be…”

Sin landed in the sky after alleviating himself to enter the arena. Glyph exchange glances to his new opponent while squint his eyelids.
Glyph: “Has all the blood gone to your head, Mr. Commander? You are second in command, yet you are facing the enemy head-on. Seek no beauty in battle. See not virtue in death. Think not that your life is your own. To protect those who need protecting, strike the enemy from the rear. How much more true is must be for you?”

Sin smirked.
Sin: “A traitor running revisions classes? Don’t make me laugh. Those idiots back then were madmen for letting you anywhere near a weapon. Its decisions like that which let traitors catch us off guard.”
Glyph: “You should not speak ill of the dead. As for being caught off guard, couldn’t the same be said for any of you?”
Sin: “What a surprise, you think you caught me off guard? Me, of all people?”

Sin generated high spiritual energy which created him thousands of clones that surrounded the enemy.

Glyph: “Clones? I suppose they make a nice spectacle.”
Sin: “Thank you for your praised words. It’s rare to hear that in my line of work.”
Sin: “In exchange let me allow this spectacle to be the last thing you ever see.”

Sin’s clones had his left palm marked with complete designs of the devil. Every clone that surrounded Glyph approach to him at rapid state but within the scripted designs on his palm a heavily spiritual wave remain in his palm, which was poisoning for all users of power elements and inflict mass harm to the host.

Glyph smirks before being caught off guard. Crimson’s thick red stone collapse around the man’s lower half body and detained his arm that posses a hold of his blade, preventing the man from moving further. Glyph opened his eyes wide having his body impaled by Sin with his hand pushing through Glyph’s stomach. The infection begins to spread over his stomach creating the same design on Sin’s palm, inflicting the venom into his body.

Glyph and Sin stood out in total quietness for moments.

Glyph: “A one hitter quitter technique? What a fascinating technique.”
Sin opened his eyes wide after looking upwards to the man’s face.
Glyph: “That will not work. In the battle of spiritual level, at your level, your pitiful technique won’t even make it past mine. So I can’t be poisoned.”

Glyph happened to be given enough time to break out from the stone from his arm holding his blade. Then his sword was moving above his head while narrowing his eyes down to Sin.
Glyph: “It’s over, Sin.”

A thick red beam puncture through Glyph’s back, shattering the armor penetrated onto his back enough to have burn the surface.

Strider: “Someone wasn’t paying attention.”

Glyph: “Damn you, Strider…”
Crimson: “You are done, Glyph.”
Crimson was standing next to Strider before flying forward behind Glyph’s back.

Glyph: “You are still all very young. You see a chance to win, and you charge in without a second thought. That is your greatest weakness…”

Glyph was hearing whistling noise in the distance which he narrowed his eyes to the direction before finding out in surprise. Manny was holding his unreleased weapon, which spin in circles around his palm while smiling deviously.

(Note: One of Manny’s ability when his sword is release. Once it spins, it will reverse all actions towards his opponents. For example: Left means right, or right means left. Down means up, up means down or Attacking means stopping.)

Glyph without time to think of his actions, Crimson continues flying forward towards his back.
Glyph: “It is inverted!” (Speaking to himself in this moment)

Crimson had penetrated through Glyph’s chest instead; the firing sword was engulfing his penetration before twisting the blade slightly. Crimson’s teeth were grinding together while narrowing his eyes furiously.

Glyph gasping for air before placing a single hand over the blade, Crimson pushed deeper making sure he was attempting anything funny. Glyph’s hand eventually fell emotionlessly to the side of his body now.

Everyone witness quietly at Glyph’s death. The Tainted Ones have felt relief after killing the worst enemy encounter against their time.

Manny simply raised his blade against his shoulder while exhaling deeply.

Manny: “Seems like the tables have turned. Isn’t that right Hibari?”

Manny’s eyes narrowed to the side with his head tilting to the side.

The man standing on the tip of the tree was revealed as Hibari who observe the entire time with his arms crossed. He simply remains quiet.

Hibari: yells: “Fools, take a closer look at who you’re attacking”
Manny: “What do you mean? Don’t fuck around with me.”
Hibari: “Look at Glyph’s dead body.”

Everyone heard the conversation before shifting their eyes over to Glyph’s dead body. A clear vision was visible as Bella stood within the blade penetrated through her chest instead, blood running down the side of her mouth.

Manny, Sin, Strider, and Crimson stared with wide eyes.

Strider: “This can’t be!”
Crimson: “Bella….”
Crimson had Bella’s blood over his cheek while staring intently.

Sin; glance behind his shoulder, finding Glyph standing the entire time at a distance.
Sin: “How long!?”
Glyph: “How long? What an interesting question. I believe you know that my blade has perfect Hypnosis. It can control any sense at any time, and make you perceive anything as any other thing.”

Sin: “That’s why I am asking!”
Glyph: “Then allow me to ask you this in return. How long have you been dwelling yourself into believing that I was not using my Hypnosis?”

Crimson slipped the blade out of Bella’s chest before carrying the woman in her arms, slowly descending from the sky while looking at Bella’s facial gesture the entire time with his eyes wide. He grasp the woman’s body tight into his hold while Bella slowly open her eyes up, looking up to Crimson as she barely was able to speak.

Bella: “Cri…Crimson...why…?” She spoke in a sorrow voice.

Crimson had tears at the brink of his eyes while looking down at Bella. For the moment feeling ashamed and disappointed before his heart was filled with hatred and anger. He lay down Bella on the floor before yelling out. He screams with his eyes looking furiously into Glyph above the air. His wings extend wide, flying at rapid speed towards Glyph.

Sin: “Wait! Crimson!”
Glyph: “Nothing but openings, every single one of you…”

Crimson remain flying forward before witnessing a blue flash that slice across his shoulder down to his leg, decapitating his leg and arm, slicing across one of the single skin and skull with a single slash.

Strider who was standing closely to Glyph witness another blue flash seconds after Crimson was defeated. Strider’s entire back open a large wound in releasing immense blood spilling out into the air.

Glyph in a blink of an eye stood in front of Manny, swinging his blade across the man’s chest up to his shoulder. Manny stood there surprisingly loosing large amount of blood that spill from his body before gasping out in pain, unable to speak or react.

Glyph started dissipating his image quickly at tremendous speed, moving from side to side knowing that Sin was approaching from behind. Sin was caught off guard and confused for seconds before feeling the blade impaled through his stomach.

Crimson: “How…Can…”

Every last remaining member of the Tainted Ones begin falling from the sky. Hibari simply smiled observing the horrific scene after everyone being slaughtered by Glyph.

Glyph simply stood in the air with a smirk on his face then hearing a familiar voice in the distance.

Sin stood in the distance away from Glyph while arching his eyebrow.
Sin: “This isn’t over yet.”

Glyph chuckled to himself.

A sudden thick explosion engulfs the air surrounding a man that stood amongst the fire surrounding him. Jin was standing with his blade engulf in fire. Thick air waves of fire rose surrounding the man’s body.
Jin the guardian and trainer of the members found standing outside his boundaries.
Jin: “Yo, don’t think you haven’t finished yet nor have eliminated last of the pyromaniac.”

Sin glance over at Jin, concerned before squinting his eyes.

Jin: “This is my fight Sin; let me bring vengeance to my people.”

The Crimson Flames

Glyph: “The Guardian has finally decided to grace us with his presence.”
Glyph turn around to face Jin while place his palm out while he spoke.
Glyph: “But it seems you are too late.”
Glyph: “You are the only relevant individual left in this battle, besides Sin.”

Crimson was laying down in the floor tremble in pain that his body was enduring. Manny and Strider were quite without having to move an inch, their eyelids closed while resting amongst their wounds.

Glyph: “Once you fall, the Tainted Ones will be the Tainted Zero.”
Glyph: “You’ve missed your chance.”
Glyph: “You would have been wiser to withdraw at this point.”

Jin started to walk out from the firing tornado that surrounded his body while twirling in constant circles. Jin was now standing in front of the fire waves.

Jin: “Do not be conceited.”
Jin: “Do you actually believe that you’re strong enough to cut me?”

Glyph: “I am not concerned with cutting you. I have done so already.”

Jin comes forward with his fire blade thrusting directly to Glyph’s body before dissipating to reform behind Jin with backs to each other. Glyph close his eyelids in the moment before both men turn to each other at the same time. Jin felt Glyph’s blade penetrating through his abdomen.

Jin launched his hand to grasp on Glyph’s forearm, taking a tight hold of him with a wide grin on his lips.

Jin: “I have you, Glyph.”
Glyph: “Are you sure about that?”
Jin: “Are you telling me that this is your perfect Hypnosis?”
Jin: “If it was just what I saw with my eyes, or what I felt with my skin, then it could well be.”
Jin: “But I would never fail to recognize the aura of the sword piercing my abdomen.”
Jin: “You mocked me for losing my chance, but it’s the other way around.”
Jin: “My chance finally arrived.”

The areas surrounding their arena started to shake while an earthquake occurred. Large holes have opened from the ground that engulf in flames. The flames rose up in the air which started the heat the perimeter around them. The noise of the earth started crackling from the immense fire.

Jin: “Flames of hell.”
Jin: “The entire battle up until now was to create an opportunity for this technique.”
Glyph narrowed his eyes to Jin with a smirk.
Glyph: “You mean you were preparing this while your subordinates were being cut down?”
Glyph: “A cunning maneuver.”
Jin: “Cunning, indeed. You and I will perish into the flames of hell.”
Jin: “Flee, Sin or you will be consumed as well.”
Sin: “Wait.”
Jin: “Flee at once.”

Glyph: “What about you’re other people still alive?”
Glyph: “At this rate, they, too, will be incinerated by your flames.”

Crimson, Strider, and Manny were lying down on the ground without movement. The men were narrowing their eyes while witnessing the scene, remaining quiet but unable to move.

Jin: “They are all prepared for this.”
Jin: “Death in the name of vanquishing great evil.”
Jin: “Knows this to be the true spirit of the Tainted Ones.”

Sin: “Behind you, Jin!”

Hibari appeared behind Jin with red devious eyes. Jin narrowed his eyes before swinging his firing blade over to Hibari while holding onto Glyph with his other arm. In seconds, Jin was vulnerable before thrown from distance by both of them. A thick air wave was coming down to the ground before erupting the ground, which Jin was found standing afterwards.

Jin: “What was that sensation just now…the flames of my sword went out when I made contact with Hibari? “

Hibari: “Shall I explain?”
Hibari: “Your element is the strongest in this realm. It is a power that may well exceed Glyph’s. However, if one abandons all other powers, and specializes exclusively in one thing. One can challenge even the strongest.”

Hibari: “I was a compliance of killing your people by using this technique. I modified my powers to use this technique, which is called Extinguir. In other words you can call me Prince of Extinguished Flames or Extinguish in your language.”

Hibari: “The purpose was to seal every fire user into my technique, nothing else.”

The flames leftover were consumed into Hibari’s body, opening seals behind his back while engulfing the flames in his body. The air around them condenses into clear air.

Shortly Hibari landed on the ground.
Hibari: “To gain that one ability. I sacrificed my blood techniques, my reputation as blood god, and for this reason.”

Jin: “Sacrificed you mean? You stole those powers.”
Hibari: “There’s nothing you can do for my power were traded for everything.”

Glyph: “Farewell, Jin.”
Glyph turned around and started walking away from them
Glyph: “Get him, Hibari.”

Hibari has run to the man known as Jin. Jin inflicted a single punch on Hibari’s left side stomach, shattering one side of his body into pieces as for sending him flying back passed Glyph. In the process, creating a path of destruction left from the direction Hibari flew.

Jin: “Did you think sealing my powers was all it took to defeat me? You’re naive, so naïve, I can hardly believe it. Why do you think I have served as the guardian for almost the rest of my life?”

Jin leaps over to Glyph with a fist about to be swing at his face. In seconds Hibari interrupted by punching Jin towards the other direction, diverting his course from Glyph.

Jin: “And I wasn’t even holding back. You sure are a lively one.”
Jin: “Well, then, if you won’t go down after receiving single bone attack. That Ray taught us. Then this may hurt a little, ready?”

Jin slipped his shirt above his head to reveal his muscular torso filled with battle scars. Jin forced his body to consume an overwhelming spiritual pressure surrounding the man, sparks of fire ignite which appeared in thin air, integrated into his spirit.

Hibari stood with his eyes wide before Jin shortly disappeared in a second and formed right in front of Hibari. In an instant, Jin thrust both arms forward into a fist against Hibari’s stomach.
Jin: “Twin bones.”

Both fists came into contact against Hibari’s stomach before his mouth open wide in agony. Jin shattered Hibari’s stomach completely like glass shattering from his stomach to down his legs and his face started cracking before falling to the floor. The remaining pieces of Hibari had fell on the ground, Jin remains standing tall.

Jin: “Pitiful fool. You can all rest in peace my people...”

Glyph was standing in the distance while observing the fight amongst Jin and Hibari that just ended.

Glyph: “Try to recall what Hibari said earlier, Extinguir exist solely to seal all of those flame users. To seal means lock them, so they can’t ignite. But were those the only flames? There were also flames you already released from your sword and those of the people Hibari killed back then.”

Hibari’s head started to expand wide like a balloon on fire. His front face started heating up in a shaded red color.

Glyph: “You know very well what would happen if all of those flames you unleashed were to burst forth in single moment.”

Jin turned around attempting to reach over Hibari’s head with a red light flash reflecting upon his face. A large explosion consumes the area where fire seems to scatter across the forest and even through realms, too strong to be contained.

The explosion was then deducted while slowly sucking into the one place where Jin was standing.

Jin was found on the center of a creator while hesitating with his breathing. His arms, legs, and face were covered completely black but barely able to stand up with a single knee while narrowing his eyes up.

Glyph claps his hands together in astonishment.
Glyph: “To have limited the scale of the explosion so much…You truly are a Guardian. If you have not absorbed the blast with your own body, it would have erased your puny barrier and reduce many areas, even dimensions. You have my thanks, Jin. Thank you for protecting my world.”

Jin: “C-curse you…”
Jin fell on the ground with his entire body lying down. Glyph decided to walk down the creator with a smile on his face.
Glyph: “You embody the history of Pyromaniacs now. Let me finish off your race with my own sword.”
Glyph lifts his blade pointing his towards Jin’s head.

Glyph widens his eyes out after feeling Jin’s arm extending forward to grasp Glyph’s ankle.
Jin: “Stop making me repeat myself, you naïve fool!”
Jin’s entire arm extending to Glyph’s ankle started to crack into redlines outlining his arm before creating large thick explosion that arose from their surrounding and up to the sky. Jin sacrificed his own arm for this technique that caught Glyph off guard. The ground alleviated their surrounding before red fire ball escaped from the blast with Glyph landing on the ground with his eyes fixed over in the explosion. His clothes were tore apart with dust over his face.

Sin out of the sky appeared above Glyph after loosing focus of his awareness. Sin had hollow mask occupied over his face that extensively pushed his powers to the max. Sin had his blade generating thick black aura surrounding the man’s blade.
Sin: “Uaaahhhh!”
Sin swings his sword forward in creating an engulfing energy wave that was pushed forth to Glyph.

Battle Ignition

A fire ball escaped from the blast while engulfing Glyph’s body, narrowing his eyes to the side:

Glyph: “I underestimated him. He sacrificed his own arm just for this technique.”

Sin appeared above him with his palm holding into his blade that generated a large amount of aura with his hollow mask on his face, extending his powers extensively to full potential.

Glyph’s shoulder was then sliced across. The new large wound over his shoulder released large amount of blood. The ground below Glyph’s body started to crumble down after receiving a heavy blow to the shoulder. The rest of the energy delivered had continue pushing through’ Glyph’s body creating destruction path that ran across behind him.

Sin landed on the ground before swinging his sword swipe to his side generating another thick wave of aura amongst his sword.
His hollow mask made his voice deeper.
Sin: “I haven’t finished yet.”

The blade of his sword was about to be swung directly to Glyph before the man disappeared out from sight to reform his image behind the man known as Sin.

Sin came into a halt before delivering his next wave attack, turning his attention back to Glyph before swinging his body to turn around with his blade. Delivering another thick wave of thick aura before Glyph merely was able to extend a palm out towards Sin. Deflecting the energy blast, this passed by Sin in return. The remaining blast that threw passed Sin has separated in three fire balls which landed on the environment behind Sin, creating large explosions.

Sin’s blade came to a halt against Glyph’s blade. Both were staring dead eye with each other before Glyph’s body begins healing on its own. Sealing the wound left on his shoulder before Sin open his eyes wide.
Sin: “Instant generation?”

Sin’s blade came to a halt against Glyph’s. Both were standing and staring close at dead eye before Glyph smirked.
Sin: “What’s so funny?”
Glyph: “You failed in killing me, Sin.”
Glyph: “That was you last opportunity.”
Sin’s and Glyph’s body weapons were grinding to each other in the mean time they’ve talked.
Sin: “It was enough to get you injured.”
Glyph: “You call this an injury?”
A purple aura surge out of Glyph’s wounds and sealed the wound closed afterwards.
Sin: “Instant generation?”
Glyph: “This is not instant generation.”
Glyph: “This is just an obligation to protect its user.”
Sin: “What are you trying to say?”

Glyph reaches out to open his half torn shirt. He reveals his torso by exposing a purple sphere press in the middle of his chest which seem to be integrated to his body. The sphere was causing his veins on his torso to have a light blue purple color running through his body.

Sin: “That’s the...”
Glyph: “The Breakdown Sphere.”

(Note: This sphere or orb composes of unique capabilities allowing that human and god to combine into one race to attain the powers of another world. Its true power lays its ability to sense the heart of those around it and materialize their deepest desire.)

Sin stood back after he extracts his blade away from Glyph’s watching intently. Glyph reaches his fingers over his wound in the mean time while feeling Sin’s leftover aura on his wound

Glyph: “Ah, so this is your power? How marvelous, you have matured enough. Exactly the way I wanted you too since you were born in Earth.”

Sin Screams: “What...What the fuck are you trying to say with that!?”
Glyph stared quietly at Sin.
Glyph raised a single index finger up.
Glyph: “Your voice…”
Glyph: “Do not raise your voice.”
Glyph: “Do not be so surprised.”
Glyph: “I simply thought humans would make a great investigation.
Glyph: “So I created you. I helped you developed in this world.”
Glyph: “I inserted fake memories. You were once born in Earth. The true entity of a soul traveling from the living to the next realm is here. Stuck between two realms…Never thought it was strange? For why there is another realm in between the living and the dead?”

Sin’s hollow mask disappeared while hearing Glyph’s speech.
Glyph: “Did you really think you-“
An unknown blade was swung across Glyph before having to step aside evading the sword though keeping his distance from the unknown man

A man who stood in white armor was holding his long katana out from his palm.
Unknown man: “You talk too much, Glyph.”

The Old Gen

Sin: “Who are you?”
Silver: “Ray’s, Father…” small chuckle released.

Silver: “Do not get caught up in Glyph’s speech. Let me handle this fight.”

A blue flash sliced on the edge of the ground which started to crumble beneath Glyph. Glyph stood on the edge of the cliff before the surface below him started to slide down from the cliff. Silver approached Glyph in an instant with their weapons colliding against each other. Throwing Glyph at mid-air, Silver observing with a serious expression. He raised a single hand and motions his fingers to flick towards Glyph, sending Glyph flying back through pine trees.

Glyph slowly landed on the ground while kneeling down with one knee on the floor.
Glyph: “I’ve reached my limit. The limit to my human capabilities that is and my soul is being reconstructed.”
Silver: “What are you talking about?”
Glyph: “The sphere begun to understand my passion.”
Silver: “Are you high on something?”
Glyph: “Do you not understand?”
Glyph: “I am telling you, this sphere has understood my desire.”
Silver: “That settles it, high as a kite.”
Glyph: “It was until then that I haven’t realized that this sphere posses its own will. However, the sphere has made a way that allows them to attain only what their hearts are capable of desiring. The sphere that balances reality and above is here makes me unique.”
Silver: “Calling yourself a god Glyph? Don’t be pathetic.”
Glyph mutters a small chuckle with the sphere orb reforming Glyph’s body to be modified into better physical state and reconstructing his soul.

Glyph’s body begins to ignite with white flash illuminating his surrounding.

Glyph’s body has thick white colored layer covering his physical form while the sphere begin reconstructing his appearance and his power level.

Glyph: “You shall meet your end soon…”

Glyph V. Silver – The Up Rise of a New God

Glyph’s sphere continues reconstruct his soul within the layer that his body remained in.

Silver: “Let’s see if you can keep up the pace.”

After Silver moved at instant speed in matter of seconds, Glyph reach his left palm above his head to counter block Silver’s fist. After capturing his hand within his grasp, he tilted his head up with his purple eyes narrowing at Silver. Silver’s fist pressure was delivered at high velocity creating large creator around Glyph that range about mile out.

A thick blood tentacle snapped around Silver’s wrist, Glyph smirking while glancing at Silver. Silver narrowed his eyes towards the direction where the tentacle was delivered from.

Silver’s eyes widen for a moment before the tentacle cause him to loose balance after being snapped around his wrist. A huge explosion occurred in between Glyph and Silver, Silver was thrown across the arena creating a path that paved the destruction. Large chunk of rocks were thrown into the air.

The dust clears out before seeing Silver on his knee, glancing towards the direction the tentacle came from.

A man standing behind a portal had blood dripping down his fingers.
Ten: “Oi, Father. We meet again.”

The portal behind him closed, revealing his thick blood tentacles swirling around his body.

RECAP

Ray remained hidden in the village where people cared and loved him for his friendly reputation. The man was secured or felt somehow hidden from his personal issues before Legato, the messenger working for Ten, Ray’s brother, show up in the same village. Ray acknowledge Legato’s message after leaving shortly from town. Grimmer that night, show up by devastating the entire town, which killed half of the people Ray, knew. Ray out of anger showed his true form. Grimmer ran into the distance frightened. Shortly Grimmer was killed, Ray’s brother. Ten showed up before him, leading him into a trap where Anaya witness the scene. Anaya ran with Ray’s katana as evidence to show to the Tainted Ones that their leader was in trouble, shortly after the meeting it was obvious that their hideout was jeopardize by Anaya’s distress call.

The Tainted Ones decided to gear up to expect an invasion. It was obvious that Glyph has allied with Hibari, hiding a plan that will devastate the clan. The first three Ace’s of the clan show up standing in the sky in front of Glyph. Crimson, Manny, and Dyavol were the first ones to challenge Glyph in battle. After numerous combinations, strategic, power, and outnumber attacks on Glyph, which none reach Glyph with a single finger were killed instantly with a single slash. Dyavol, Vadori, Kota, and Rave where the first ones to experience instant death after Glyph explained of what his definition on brute strength is.

Sin, second in command of the Tainted Ones intervenes in battle. It was towards the end that the remaining Tainted Ones were still fighting Glyph. Sin along sided with Crimson, Strider, and Manny created diversion to finally end Glyph’s life. To think that Glyph’s death was the final, Glyph used his perfect Hypnosis to make them think they were fighting against him, which happened to reveal the true person behind all of these attacks. Bella was struck down by her down team, fooling the Tainted Ones they were chasing after Glyph. Crimson out of anger was emotionally attached to the woman, but his own arrogance left him full of openings after charging Glyph with no intentions of being cautious. It was then that one by one were struck down easily without hesitation, loosing their cool in battle. Crimson, Bella, Manny, and Strider were left defeated but left alive while lying on the ground completely.

Sin was remained standing before Jin shortly appeared to face of against Glyph. Hibari then interrupted in the midst of the battle but unfortunately failed to kill Jin. Hibari explained his master mind plan in the elimination towards Pyromaniacs. Hibari absorbed all of Jin’s fire element power. However, the man was killed shortly after due to the fact that Jin does not only specialize in his element but variously to be more sophisticated among other things. Hibari was killed shortly after before setting Jin into a death trap after a large explosion consume the area because of Jin’s powers trapped inside Hibari’s body from the moment he stole them. After Jin absorbed his powers back into his body, not to mention as well for all the pyromaniacs powers where also absorbed in the process due to Hibari in the past eliminating his own race and consumed all of the fire elements into his body during that time. Jin was found weak enough to fight but merely saved his realm from turning into ashes. Glyph had another thing coming which would catch Glyph off guard after Jin performed a technique that would cause him to lose an arm and catch Glyph off guard.

The technique set off massive explosion before Glyph escaped from the blast. Jin took his opportunity in delivering an attack towards Glyph, although not strong enough to have taken him out. Loosing his opportunity Silver, Ray’s father intervene the battle in between. After the small conversation a portal opened…

Next Chapter – Family Reunion

Small drops of blood were sliding down over the corner of his lips. Silver brought the back of his hand to wipe the blood out from his mouth.

Silver: “Son-”
Ten: “Shut the fuck up, you ain’t my father anymore. You are unworthy of being a father.”
Silver: “I-“

A purple flash seem to ignite streaming across Silver’s direction, creating thousand of screams that was heard from within this attack. A massive explosion impacted Silver’s body, which delivered heavy blow, and created thick black cloud that surrounded the arena.

Ten’s arm started spreading apart into various blood tentacles out while narrowing his yellow-like eyes towards Silver’s direction.

Out of surprise Sin approached behind Ten with his skull armor activated. In his palm, Dyavol’s scythe was about to be swing down behind Ten’s body to rip him apart.

Ten narrowed his eyes to the side, acknowledging his presence.
Ten: “Hmph, Fucking Idiot.”

Right underneath Sin, moments before reaching Ten. Several but various blood tentacles shot across underneath him, tearing the ground below him after the blood tentacles penetrated through the skull armor and into his body. Ten’s blood was suspended in the liquid component of plasma. This helped Ten’s blood tentacles penetrated through just about any metal in existence, producing a lot of blood cells within his bone marrow which was located in the center of his bones. Extending his blood tentacles to swipe around the man’s body, Ten release a devious smirk on the corner of his lips after tilting his head to exchange glances with Sin. Ten raise his other arm while extending his index finger and moving from side to side.

A large quantity of blood was running down Sin’s mouth after being impaled. The man dropped the scythe down onto the ground while exchanging glances with The Blood God. Ten’s blood cells started absorbing Sin’s blood cells, which attacked his immune system and commence to control his internal organs. Before Sin was able to say a word, the blood tentacles did the magic of manifesting thick spikes along the curves of the blood tentacles. The spikes torn apart Sin’s body from inside and started crushing his body like a snake consuming his prey.

Ten: “Nice try…”
Ten: “Happy Nightmares.”

Ten ignite his blood tentacles to explode, turning the man’s body into oblivion after the explosion which caused his body to turn into ashes. A large dark smoke passed by Ten from the explosion while arching an eyebrow curiously.

Ten: “Let see, there’s about…One...two...Three…Four, Five, people from the Tainted Ones still at large…but barely breathing. I can no longer feel Hibari’s presences…that fool.”

Ten continue to scout the perimeter while observing around the arena. Trees where burnt out from the fire and the ground were no longer solid brown but black. The presence of what life used to be here has disappeared from existence covering the environment into ashes.

Ten: “Seems…that you’re about the only one left, Silver.”

Silver remain standing with his armor torn apart after the impact from the blast. The man got a hold of his two large bladed Katana’s which consisted of white light aura surrounding these weapons.

Silver: “Enough games, lets get this show on the row.”

Next Chapter - The Power to Strive

From the village, explosions erupted close from the mountain. The battle was creating earthquakes that shook the ground beneath the villagers and the force of the battle caused sonic bombs to disperse into the villages nearby, breaking glass. The men, woman, and children attempted their best to run into safety while screaming or panicking from the devastating horrible battles occurring in the distance. The forest was completely torn apart as trees were flattening down from the impact of explosions. Dark clouds surrounded the arena that twirled around in circles as fire rose in catching other forest in fire.

Silver was panting heavily from the two god-like monsters standing before him. Ten’s blood tentacles swipe across the ground before slithering around Silver’s ankle. Glyph instantly appeared in front of Silver, using blood tentacles as mere distraction. Glyph took tight grip upon Silver’s neck. Silver’s image flickered in Glyph’s grip, noticing the man was above them now. Silver pointed his palm out towards both of his opponents.

Silver: “Raiho!”

A thick beam of electricity was shot from his palm. The thick beam impacted down on Glyph and Ten, creating explosion which surrounded the perimeter with electricity before igniting a second explosion with fire that cover the land. Silver landed on the ground onto his feet shortly after trying to regain his strength, the dust clear out before watching Glyph and Ten remain standing with Ten having large smirk on his lips.

Ten: “Tsk, Tsk…Are we too much for you? Father”

Glyph remains standing before thick red beam was shot, penetrating through his shoulder by surprise. Glyph’s eyes widen and narrowed to the side being caught off guard.

Glyph: “So you’ve finally arrived, Ulysses.”

A man stood on top of a hovering craft which was lost ancient technology. The man stood on top of his craft with a red cape covering half of his body, swaying towards the wind with dark brown pants along with dark unique boots. A holster gun was attached to his thigh while holding his left arm out with a pistol pointing towards Glyph, which was the gun fired upon him.

Ulysses: “Long time no see, Glyph.”
Glyphs turn half way while narrowing his eyes at the man known as Ulysses.
Glyph: “One hundred years, I believe.”

A quick flash back was reveal when Glyph and Ulysses worked together at scientific laboratory that conducted various experiments that involved the sphere and experimental of beings or souls for that matter.

---Ulysses: “You seem to have fuse with the sphere.”---

Ulysses observed from a distance while Glyph’s body recuperated from the beam shot upon.

Glyph: “This is not fusion.”
Glyph: “I would have you see it as subjugation…of the sphere you never fully mastered.”
Ulysses: “Never fully mastered? I suppose you could say that. At the time, at least”
Glyph: “It seems you are truly unable to admit defeat gracefully.”
Glyph: “No, it does not even matter whether you consider yourself defeated or not.”

Glyph quickly appeared in front of Ulysses, piercing the blade through the man’s chest.

Glyph: “Since you have forever lost your chance to master the Sphere.”

Ulysses body started to glow like large balloon before popping. Glyph remains having calm gesture before feeling a palm tab behind his back. Ulysses aura started to glow before impaling him with six rods of lights around Glyph’s body, preventing Glyph from moving further.

Glyph: “What do you expect to do after binding me with such flimsy technique?”
Ulysses: “Flimsy technique is just the beginning.”

Ulysses extends his palm out before creating another rod of light which wrapped around the Glyph’s body. Ulysses begins moving his hands creating hand signals and extends his palms out, activating another incantation. Ten purple lights of rods appear in front of Glyph forming into a large circle.

Ulysses: “At the horizon of the thousand-armed one, ye extend hands of the darkness that cometh not, ye archers of the heaven that casket no reflection, assemble not on the path that illuminates, nor clothe thyselves in the wind that fans the spark, but behold this finger of mine. Shot of Light, Eight Bodies. Nine Stripes, Sutra of the Heavens. Diseased Treasured. Great Wheel. Ashen Torrent. As I fire this arrow, vanish yonder in a blaze of white radiance.

Glyph: “Do you expect me to let you use such a technique? I can easily-“
Ulysses: “Too late! Thousand Armed One’s Radiant Heavily Cannon!”

Another thick wave of purple dark aura surrounded Ulysses which was come forth towards Glyph’s body all at once. This created thick large crystal bomb that form in the air, Glyph where he remain standing on the hovering craft, exploded at mid-air. The sonic bomb was heard across the sky due to the immense pressure of incantation added to this technique.

Ulysses: “It seems that you really did let your guard down after gaining that sphere’s power.”
The cloud of smoke started to clear out slowly in revealing Glyph who still remained standing.
Glyph’s voice heard in the dark cloud that was already dispersing: “You were right, but you’re too late.”

Glyph: “I may let my guard down. For there is no more need for me to be on guard or to show caution. I can feel it. I, who was already without equal to this world, can feel the subjugated sphere as it begins to transform my body towards far greater heights of power than I ever possessed before.”

Ulysses: “When I said that you let your guard down, I wasn’t just referring to the fact that you didn’t dodge. The Glyph I knew would have never let me touch him, unless it was part of his palm.”

Two orbs of lights grew out of Glyph’s wrist, growing immensely thicker and larger as every second past. Glyph was caught off guard in surprise.
Glyph: “These are…”

Ulysses: “Seals. I have sealed off the aura vents that every aura user posses within their wrists. You will be burned into oblivion from within by your own aura.”

Electricity started generating from the seals while accumulating in his wrist, which prevent them from escaping within his body. The seals grew wider to cover his body around, extending Glyph’s arms out while Glyph took the challenging struggle from this technique.

Then a sudden blast occurs surrounding the seals, which extended the blast due to the amount of power that Glyph possessed within his power. The blast explodes highly into the air extending onto the ground, creating large vortex from the blast.

Ulysses remained standing after observing the blast. The blast caused his cape to be drawn backwards from the explosion of the wind before slowly hovering himself down to the ground in standing next to Silver now.

Ulysses: “It’s not over yet, buddy. If that was all it took, all this would merely have been a charming diversion. It would mean we had just been facing an ordinary monster. He’ll emerge soon enough.”

Silver observe the binding blast that remained before Glyph walked out from the blast with greater form, the thin layer over his body changed in creating him to look more like a manikin with eyes while holding a sword. Glyph landed on the ground after the blast disperses quickly. Silver and Ulysses observe Glyph’s new form.

Glyph: “Using develop technique to burn me from within my own body by my own aura. If it had been anyone else…no, even if it had been me before I had subjugated the sphere then the battle would have ended in that instant. But unfortunately for you, the sphere created far surpassed your understanding. Glyph simply shattered the seals surrounding his wrist after taking them off easily with two fingers.

Glyph: “Even this technique, which you no doubt devised solely for this battle, has not affected me in the least.”

Ulysses then reaches behind his back to unsheathe his gun blade from behind.

Glyph: “If your techniques will not work, you turn to your sword? As you wish”

Silver dissipated before approaching behind Glyph, swinging his sword towards the man’s back. Glyph bends forward to place a single foot against Silver’s sword, blocking his slash. Glyph then flipped over to divert Silver’s attack, causing Silver to swing his sword into the air. Glyph then twisted his body after blocking Ulysses attack with his own sword, Glyph extend his leg out behind him to swing his feet against Silver’s head. Silver blocked his feet with his own forearm. Glyph counter attack both of them by pure strength, dashing his two opponents away from Glyph.

In the moment of the attack, Silver and Ulysses had aura like chains wrapped around Glyph’s wrist and ankle to grab a tight hold of Glyph, extending his body out.

Glyph: “What is this ridiculous set up? You can’t hope-“

Madeline appeared out from the sky coming down with a fist. She was wearing special unique armor plated around her legs and hands. The impact upon Glyph created an explosion which dust surrounded the arena after impact. Glyph remains standing after receiving the impact, narrowing his eyes up to Madeline.

Glyph said in surprise: “Madeline?

Madeline started delivering wave of punches with brutal and rapid force on top of Glyph, the wave of impacts created large cloud of dust to alleviate from the ground, creating large earthquakes around their surroundings. Glyph’s armor was cracking from the punches delivered to his body. From the force of impact of each punch caused him to sink into the ground underneath the rumble of rocks which now the air was covered by dust like a fog.

Ten remain in the distance watching curiously with his arms crossed.
Ten: “Humph…”

Madeline: “Well, how was that?”
She said while observing the rumble which she happened to knock the fuck out of Glyph.

Ulysses yelled out: “Madeline, please get out of there now!”

A thick purple aura arose from the ground breaking the armor plated on her left leg; she backed off from the immense pressure of the aura after being launched back. She landed next to Ulysses.

Glyph slowly arose from the ground while observing at his opponents now.
Glyph: “Is something the matter? Surely you must have more for me than this. Play your next card. I will shatter them one by one until you have exhausted your tricks. The number of methods you have prepared to defeat me is proof of your dedication and your power. And, by the same token, they represent the sum total of your hopes. Therefore, what I am called upon to do is to crush every last one of them. So, play your next card…Ulysses, Madeline, and Silver.”
Ulysses: “My, this could of gone better. That was my special anti-Hierro battle armor.”
Ulysses was glancing over at Madeline’s left leg.
Ulysses: “I can’t believe it broke so easily.”

Madeline: “What? How come you’re talking like it’s my fault?”
She narrowed her eyes to Ulysses. Ulysses started covering his right palm over his mouth as if he was embarrassed to talk about it.
Ulysses: “Oh, I wouldn’t dream of it.”
Madeline: “You so were! You’re totally thinking it broke because I wasn’t paying enough attention! You’re the one who made this half-assed thing! The real reason things went wrong is that you were slacking off back when you built it!”

Ulysses was kindly smirking before placing his hands up and waving them.
Ulysses: “Ok, ok, I get it, you’re right about everything!”

Glyph: “I see. The fact that your leg did not break after I struck it suggest that this is something quite special.”

Madeline: “Oh, my legs are very special.” She begins to smirk seductively.
Ulysses started to cough laugh within his throat while covering his mouth with his hand still.
Madeline punched Ulysses in the face.
Madeline: “What’s with that look!?”
Ulysses: “You broke my nose!”
Ulysses was rubbing his nose with his palm. Silver remain standing in the distance while observing Madeline and Ulysses, face palming himself.

Glyph started walking down towards Madeline and Ulysses. Madeline and Ulysses started to change their attitude into a serious one after watching Glyph making his move towards them now.

Glyph: “There is no need to get excited. Let us not waste time debating what is and is not special. If one swing of my blade destroys one of your armor like toys then all your special little toys will turn to dust with three slashes.”

Ulysses: “Can you do it?”
Madeline: “What are you talking about? I just have to avoid hitting him with my left leg.”

Glyph instantly appeared crouching down between Madeline and Ulysses. Swinging his blade towards Madeline after creating a large cloud of dust towards her direction, Madeline was sent out flying from the impact.

Ulysses swing his gun blade towards Glyph’s stomach before Glyph blocked the blade with his bare fingers, pushing the man back which caused him to dash back from the mere force of his push before turning his body to block Silver’s blade with his forearm. Glyph swung his forearm towards Silver, pushing him back before Glyph skid back from three of them to give himself space. All three of them came together for a group attack at an instant moment, before purple flash ignite where Glyph stood in the center of the group attack.

Glyph sent Silver flying out into the distance, Ulysses crashed into the ground creating large creator from the impact, and Madeline was flying out towards Ulysses spaceship, breaking through the glass of the main control room, before landing into the floor of the corridor inside the craft.

A large explosion blew out from the rear of the spaceship’s main control room, which Madeline flew directly to Glyph before swinging a punch towards Glyph’s head. Glyph took a grip over the woman’s left armor hand, shattering into pieces after crushing the unique armor with a single grip. Madeline came with an upper cut, punching Glyph underneath his head before approaching with several punches afterwards causing loud sonic bombs with each punch delivered to Glyph.

Glyph: “Is it so difficult to understand?”
Even in the moment where these punches were delivered to Glyph. Glyph was blocking every punch with a single forearm while not using his sword from blocking every attack.
Glyph: “You can strike me like this thousand times, and still not come closer to defeat me.”

Madeline has concentrated all auras to surround the woman’s left arm, sending Glyph flying down after impact of her punch, which caused him to crash into the ground. Creating another large creator before Madeline proceeded with the next attack. Madeline swung another punch down towards Glyph; Glyph caught the woman’s armor left on her other hand.

Ulysses at the moment created thick black aura which was formed into a net surrounding Glyph, grasping a tight hold of him before Madeline dissipated before she was consumed into the technique as well. Glyph narrowed his eyes towards Ulysses now. The net was only covering the entire perimeter surrounding the man.

Glyph: “Do you really think this will hold-“

Ulysses stabbed his gun blade down on the aura net that surrounded Glyph.
Ulysses: “Crimson Princess, Play with Fire, Rosary Chains.”

Small large dark bubbles formed on top of the net consumed by fire within the bubble, the net started glow before creating larger bubbles closer to Glyph, creating thick fire that consumed the entire perimeter and rose into the air. The man known was Glyph was still left standing in the midst of the fire.

Glyph: “Laughable, was this under your sleeve? What a pitiful-”

Silver approached Glyph from behind, consuming a large dark aura that surrounded the man’s sword. Although the only catch was that this was Ray’s sword which Silver was holding up. The man swung the blade towards Glyph, creating blue flash of aura that flew towards Glyph’s direction like a tidal wave.

Ulysses landed next to Silver while the blast cover the land, the blast continues onwards towards the mountains in slicing the mountains apart.
Ulysses landed next to Silver while panting heavily: “Did it worked?”
Silver: “Beats me. Since Glyph took on that form, his powers been practically impossible to read. Frightening strong, but when you’re fighting him, even when you cut him, it’s like there’s nothing there. It makes me feel sick. The only person capable of judging Glyph’s power now would be someone who’s reached at his level.”

Glyph stood out from the blast, walking towards them both like nothing has happened to the man.

Glyph: “A worthy cut. I have come to comprehend the power behind that attack.”

Glyph’s head started to crack open, purple light gleaming out from the hole which ignited from inside his armor layer. Silver observed intently close at the damage on Glyph’s head which was cracked opened.

Silver: “What’s going on inside there? What the hell is he doing to himself?”
Glyph: “And now, it is time you came to comprehend the power behind mine.”

Glyph raised his katana above his head; a thick purple aura ignited the arena that surrounded them. The sky started illuminating from the immense force of power generating from the katana. Afterwards the area was consumed by a large explosion which extended kilometers out into the distance a large cloud of dust cover thousands of miles away which blew villages out into the wind.

Ten’s blood barrier was activated which was like a wall blood barrier wall in front of him. Ten remain calm while observing Glyph’s attack intently.

After the immense pressure of the attack, Silver was found underneath the rumble of rocks barely breathing from the devastating pressure. Madeline was found on the edge of the mountain cliff with her arm and head hanging over, merely breathing as well. Ulysses was lying down on the ground beaten by the pressure of Glyph’s attack while his eyelids were closed, signifying as if he were to be dead now.

Glyph has commence walking through the rumble around the environment, observing his opponents now defeated within the burning thick layer of smoke that consumed the arena, full of nothingness.

Glyph’s skin layer started to shatter out into pieces forming new appearance. After the layer around his head shattered the man look different with dark eyes and white pupils. The man in his new form consists of him having long brown dark hair with light tan skin now.

Glyph approached Ten with his new form. Ten’s blood wall started to crumble down before arching an eyebrow curiously to Glyph.
Glyph: “Ten how was your visit on Earth?”
Ten: “It was iight. It’s quite boring. Nothing that will threaten our plans.”
Glyph: “Hmn, can you open that portal for me now.”
Ten: “Sure da’ do.”

Ten reached over to unsheathe his Blood God Katana, stabbing into the air as if used like a key to open another world. The sky ripped apart like a mouth with claws opening the new dimension. Ten and Glyph commence walking inside the portal before the portal behind them closed down.

The snake eyes

Ten and Glyph walked into the realm of the living. The portal on the other end appeared in New York Central where people surrounding them were looking intently at the scenario that occurred.

Meanwhile, in New York Central…

A large vortex portal open in the middle of the streets of New York Central, the vortex twirled in circles. People who were witnessing the scene were either paranoid or curious about what was revealed in front of them. Many of the civilians standing close to the portal started taking pictures with their cameras. At the end of the view, two shadows were visible at the other end of the portal. It was not long enough before the two individuals walked out from the portal.

Police Officers were dispatched to New York Central where people made calls about a weird and threatening vortex, which consist of describing two scary individuals. The police patrols arrived before officers drawn their weapons out immediately after stepping out of the vehicle.

Officer: “Hands up, let me see your hands in the air now!”
Officer 2 & 3: “Show them in the air; keep them in the air now!”

Glyph walked forward not paying attention to the mere low unworthily lives. The officers shot their guns at Glyph, which each bullet disperse into nothingness. Glyph continued walking forward which his own presence of power caused items, objects, and people to turn into ashes because of his heavy existence unbalancing this universe with his new powers which the sphere consist of helping him to be at new heights. The officers and their patrol vehicle was turned into ashes, atoms were disperse destroying the very thing that life is existence to this world.

Glyph: “My, my…Well, I was starting to grow bored of our realm and look at this.”
Ten: “What do you want to do once we destroy this place?”
Glyph: “Hang their bodies outside the city where they are easy to see.”
Glyph: “And commence with the creation of the King’s Key.”
Ten: “Don’t worry about it. The killin’, I mean.”

Ten tap his fingers over Glyph’s sword gently while Glyph listened closely.
Ten: “I’ll take care of killin and those other alter users.”
Glyph: “Ten.”

A white flash spear across into Glyph’s chest a blood tentacle was penetrated through his bare chest. Glyph was glancing over intently with his eyes wide open. The immense aura pressure had struck across the city, overwhelming enough from just their mere presence. People were quickly getting tired and falling down to their knees, witnessing their immense power levels.

Ten: “The only way to escape your sword’s ability is to be touching the sword already before perfect Hypnosis takes effect. How many decades did it take for me to finally hear that one fact? I waited on pins and needles, watching all of them think they could…kill ya, when not one person in the Tainted Ones knew your secret.”

His blood tentacle retracted back to his palm before Glyph’s chest started spilling a large amount of blood loss.

Ten: “Glyph, I’ve been the only one who could kill ya this whole time.”
Glyph: “I knew it. I knew your aim when I chose to take you with me.”
Glyph: “I was curious to see how you would attempt to take my life.”
Glyph: “But I am sorry, Ten…”
Glyph: “If you think that something like this is enough to kill me…”
Ten: “Oh, I don’t.”
Ten: “I left a missing blood cell of mine inside ya.”
Glyph: “What?!” His eyes started to widen.
Ten: “I told ya about my blood powers way back, didn’t I?”
Ten: “Sorry I lied.”
Ten: “I don’t just manifest weapons out of blood but my blood cells carry lethal poison that disintegrates your cells.”
Ten: “You’re catchin’ on now, ain’t ya?”
Ten: “In between piercin’ your chest and retractin’ blood tentacle. I left just a tiny blood cell and embedded in your heart. If ya got something to say, better say it fast. Though no matter how fast you are, yer’ gonna die.”

Ten place his palm out merely touching Glyph’s chest.
Ten: “Kill Crimson blood.”

Glyph’s chest started to illuminate in a red beam from his chest.
Glyph: “Damn you, Ten!”
Ten: “You’re gonna die with a hole in your chest. Just like ya always wanted it.”

Glyph’s chest space out into nothingness leaving his body torn apart with the sphere in the center, hovering in the midst of Glyph’s body.

Ten was slowly reaching his palm out to take grasp the sphere in his possession before feeling Glyph’s hand swing across to grab hold of Ten’s wrist but escaped before turning around and leaping forward with the sphere in his hand now. Ten then flash stepped out of the arena from where Glyph was now dying out in the middle of the street. Glyph slowly fell to his back onto the streets of New York, looking into the sky while whispering out Ten’s name.

“Tenkurzen…”

Ten was hiding in a dark alley while looking down at the sphere on his right palm. The blood dripping from his wrist which was almost cut in half, couldn’t help to regenerate from Glyph’s attack due to the lack of power differences in this realm. Ten was panting and hesitated to catch his breath again.

Ten: “It’s over. It’s finally over-“

Ten felt an immense spiritual aura that started creating an earthquake throughout the state of New York. Glyph spiritual aura sky rocketed through the sky while screaming out in anger. His eyes started turning completely white while opening his mouth wide from the immense force consuming him now. A purple white flash up rose across the sky from the ground, visible thousands of miles out while white binding flash erupted within the city across other states.

People across the streets were watching this mysterious light beaming up into the air.
People: “What is that?”
People: “How the hell should I know?”

Ten took a peak from the ally to glance over at the beam purple aura that surrounded within the midst of the city. The wind started to pick up drastically. The purple light then vanished before revealing Glyph in a newer form; four large wings grew behind his back and continuing to have whiter thick layer skin on his body.

Glyph: “I have won, Ten.”
Glyph: “The sphere you stole no longer has to be inside of me.”
Glyph: “It belongs to me spiritually.”

The sphere begins to ignite into a bluish color while Ten observe closely at the sphere.
Ten: “How can this be?!”

Glyph then appeared instantly in front of Ten while staring deviously down at the man. Ten slowly turn his head over to glance towards Glyph. A thick wave of blood slash across the ally after Glyph swung his sword across Ten’s body causing him to be impaled by his attack easily. Ten was slowly falling back in slow motion onto the ground but at mid-air he begins to think for himself.

Ten: “If, tomorrow, you became a snake and began to devour people and then with that same mouth with which you devoured them, you cried out to me that you loved me, would I still be able to tell you “I love you” the way that I can today…Brother?”

Ten slowly attempted to grasp the sphere back from Glyph before Glyph took a grasp of ten’s arm and torn apart from his body, which Ten happen to loose dramatic loss of blood from his body unable to heal himself in this realm as he died slowly.

Glyph took no chance and impale the sword through the man’s chest, causing Ten to lean down against his sword with his head hanging in front of him.

Glyph: “Fear is necessary for evolution.”
Glyph: “The fear that if one does not change, one could be destroyed and vanish from this world at any moment. Thanks to you, I have finally become a new being that transcends both human and spiritually.”

An entire building collapse inside of New York City, which created large cloud of dust but after the dust disperse. Glyph was dragging Ten’s body into the streets with a single hand, walking through the rumble of the destroyed building before throwing the man into the side walk after finishing him. Ten was merely alive with his eyelids merely open as he glances up to Glyph. Glyph raised his katana ready to make his finishing move.

A loud thundering sound was heard in the distance which seems to be right behind Glyph. A man standing on his bare feet landed into the street while carrying someone on his shoulders.

Glyph turns his attention to the man who appeared behind him. Glyph faced the man quietly while exchanging glances with him.
Glyph: “One last fool to kill…It’s about time you showed up…”
Glyph smirked.

Recap
(Ulysses, Madeline, and Silver were defeated instantly in single flash of light blinding across their path. Glyph was able to defeat them during his transformation while the sphere subjugated to his understanding for a quest of new powers. It was obvious there was no competitor left to try and defeat Glyph. Glyph and Ten took a side trip back to Earth after opening portal with Glyph’s new transformation along with extensive power crossing the boundaries of life and death. He took the opportunity to test his powers against several humans before Ten took him by surprise. This gave Ten the opportunity to recuperate the sphere from Glyph’s possession. It wasn’t long that Glyph gains another new form by the Sphere’s subjugation to his command before chasing after Ten. Ten hopelessly was merely killed while dragged across the street by Glyph before thrown over to the sidewalk. Glyph was about to take another swing at Ten for the finishing before hearing a loud cracking noise that penetrated through the concrete. A familiar man was standing behind Glyph, catching him off guard while carrying another man on his shoulder.)

The Return of a Hero (Returning back to Ray’s Realm)

The crunches of burning wood disintegrated from the forest while the entire scene look like nuclear war just devastated half of their world.

A woman by the name of Hanna is servant to the Tainted Ones. She regrouped them along with Anaya who was supporting into their aid. The remaining where left breathing while both of the woman assembled them in small tent that was adjusted while bandaging their injuries with Crimson, Strider, Bella, and Manny laying on the ground with hardly any medical supplies at hand. Hanna couldn’t help but leave the other corpses of the Tainted Ones alone since they were dead. In the moment of Anaya attempting to gather all the corpses and missing pieces of their bodies together she snap breaking down with tears streaming down her cheeks which she could not bare the thought that she brought the enemy to their hideout and got them killed. The small woman blamed herself while Hanna tries to concentrate desperately. On the other hand, Bella was barely breathing who was in shock but mostly having the attention due to her current status. Hanna’s hands were shaking in desperation to attempt surgical removal from the shreds of metal close to the woman’s heart. Hanna’s hands was filled or painted with blood while sweat run down from her forehead.

Crimson woke up with eyelids merely open while coughing blood out before turning his attention to Bella where she lie next to him. He let his tears be at the brink of his eyelids while reaching for his left arm out for Bella. “I-I’m…S-sorry…”

Anaya remain crying with tears running down her cheeks while she gathered the dead bodies enough to identify the members of the Tainted Ones. Hanna attempting to perform the surgical surgery was losing patience’s while maintaining barrier around the rest of the injured with healing aura that would surround their bodies in healing them. This would not restore them to full capacity since they were badly injured. Hanna’s kitty-like ears fold back on her head in desperation to save each of their life’s that were in jeopardy. She started to think in her mind. “What should I do- what should I do? I need to keep them alive or else!”
However, in the meantime Ulysses, Madeleine, and Silver where left outside somewhere scatter out into the devastation of nothingness with crumbles of big rocks surrounding the arena. Hanna was not able to help in finding them but at least attempting to save the ones she found at the brink of death. Anaya remain quiet and useless while carrying herself into the tent to assist Hanna before feeling a thick pressure that condense the air.

Hanna gasped at the presence with Anaya quietly trembling in fear. Ten dark men approaching the small tent where carrying shackles around their ankles and wrist. Each of these men had black capes around their bodies which expose their faces with nails impaled into their jaw line and around their face. Hanna and Anaya could not help nor do anything about the new issue arising from the horizon. Hanna and Anaya where glancing over in fear but mostly in shock noticing the particular shackles that came from sinners who escape from Hell.

Hanna: “I…I can’t believe this! Now this! I…I can’t stop now or Bella dies!” She screamed to her self. Anaya was now more terrified than ever while trembling from the new set of enemies approaching.

One caped man unsheathed a sword from underneath his sleeves, extending to his hand, gripping a metal handle before running towards the woman signaling his attack.

Hanna glances over to Anaya with tears slipping down on her cheeks. Anaya attempted to smile back before closing their eyes tight.

The sky open in creating vortex that twirl amongst the clouds before man was shot straight down in the midst the Sinners in the group. The man was found kneeling down before standing slowly with a baby in his arm, bundle up. He exhaled deep before narrowing his eyes from side to side to each Sinner. The Sinner started falling to the ground almost instantly after finishing them off with blood particles that released from his very existence to surround his perimeter, which became lethal poison to breath. This man made sure that the blood particles where not consumed into the baby holding into his arms.

The man finished off the rivals in matter of seconds before approaching over to the small tent with a baby wrapped in his arms. Hanna and Anaya recognized the man standing in the distance as he approached to them. Both women happened to shout Ray’s name after recognizing his face.

The man gave simple smile to them before Anaya rose from her feet to embrace the man, pushing her face to his chest.

Anaya was crying and groaning under her breath while she spoke: “I’m sorry, it was all my fau-“

Ray reach his palm behind her head in scratching her little kitty-like ears with a smile on his lips.

Ray: “That’s enough, I’m here.” The man turns his attentions to his surroundings afterwards while noticing the devastation and notices the dead members of the Tainted Ones lying across the ground.

Ray closed his eyes before exhaling slowly. Ray whispered to himself “I will not let your deaths go in vain.” Ray shifted his glance to Hanna after opening his eyes once more. Hanna glances back to the man with a smile as tears stream down her cheeks of joy from seeing her man again.

Hanna: “Going around cheating behind my back?”
Ray: “Huh, wh- not even. I brought this baby from Earth’s Realm for a reason. He’s a special little boy”

Ray brought his attention to the small boy in his right arm. His index finger brushed over the boy’s right cheek after caressing the baby in his arms.

A recognizable voice was heard in the distance while the man stand behind Ray. “Say, son. That’s no ordinary baby”

Ray turns his attention over to the voice’s direction while watching his father, Silver standing besides him.

Ray: “That’s true, this boy possess a special ability. It would be safe for him to stay on this realm than Earth’s realm. But…I’m not sure about something.”
Silver brought a single hand to place on top of his Ray’s right shoulder.
Silver: “In time son, don’t rush on it. Right now we got bigger problems. I need to train you.”
Ray glanced to his father in concern expression.
Ray: “Why so sudden on training?”
Silver: “Because Glyph is about to make Earth his kingdom. Glyph is at new level, which none of us can read his powers anymore nor take him out.”

Ulysses stepped forward to the scene appearing with Madeleine on his right shoulder.

Ulysses: “Unfortunate for us, that’s right. You are about the only person who can defeat him Ray.”
Ray was in silence for a moment before nodding his head once to acknowledge the training.
Ray: “Let’s do this then.”

In the moment of the agreement, Ray given a spare of his blood powers to help Madeline, Manny, Crimson, Bella, and Strider attending to their wounds in helping them regenerate their missing blood cells in creating their loss of blood or recovering missing parts of their body in healing them to full capacity. The members of the Tainted Ones where attended to rest asleep to return for full recovery. Ulysses stood by with Hanna and Anaya to take care of their fallen comrades in creating graves for them.

Hanna reach out to Ray before leaving once more: “Ray, please stay safe…”
Ray with a smile responded back after turning his attention to Hanna: “Of course, I have a great woman waiting for me.”
Ray: “Please, take care of that baby until I return. Think of him like our son that we never have.”

Ray winked at Hanna before she blushed in reaching her delicate lips to press against Ray’s lips after leaning forward on her toes and the baby in her arms. Ray’s lips parted away from hers before giving a small smile at the corner of his lips before leaving this realm with his father. The portal open after Ray and Silver disappeared inside the dimension that held the two realms together. The two man known as Silver and Ray where left to train alone inside the dimension that held the worlds together. When an hour passed a year passed in time inside of this special dimension, which in two hours would become two years as each hour multiply the length of time spent in this dimension that held both of the realms. Ray was given great advantage to train for the battle against Glyph to strengthen his powers and abilities.

Back in New York City…
The loud thundering sound behind Glyph showed Ray standing on his bare feet while carrying his father, Silver on his left shoulder. His father exhausted from training his son for years inside the dimension. Ray remains silent while staring with serious expression at Glyph.

A New Warrior in Battle

Ray’s entire left arm was cover in steel chains and color of his katana has changed in combination of black, and red mixture on the blade. The handle of his blade contain red skull designed while Ray looked a lot taller because of the duration and time of years spent training between the two realms. His hair grown longer as if he hasn’t cut his hair in a while. Ray drop his father on the floor carefully after revealing a small smirk on the corner of his lips.
Ray: “Thanks Father.”

Silver has full grown bear along his jaw bone while resting on the floor but feeling exhausted from the training provided for Ray.
Ray turned his attention to Glyph before closing his eyelids, turning his head to the side while focusing his spiritual aura to determine whether any alter users where close by.

Ray spoke quietly to himself: “Good, at least none of these low level alter users will intervene in our fight…”

The people standing close by noticed the difference of power level with Glyph’s crushing aura surrounding his presence. Ray’s presence had no sensation of heaviness nor feeling of powerful aura surrounding him. The news reporters where close by filming to broadcast in television as for the world to watch intentionally.

Glyph broke the silence in between: “Ray Keiran?”
Ray has not brought his attention to Glyph before directing his eyes to his brother who was lying down on the floor defeated.
Glyph spoke again: “Ray Keiran…Is that really you?”

Ray shift his attention to redirect his eyes to Glyph, paying attention to him after calling him out again.

Ray spoke in serious tone: “What do you mean?”
Glyph: “If you really are Ray, then I am disappointed.”
Glyph: “I no longer sense any spiritual energy from you.”
Glyph: “Even if you were suppressing it. It would not vanish entirely.”
Glyph: “You have failed to evolve.”
Glyph: “You have thrown away the last chance I bestowed upon you.”

Ten open his eyelids before death came to his heart. His vision blurry before fixing his gaze on Ray, his little brother. Ten started speaking in his mind: “You got the looks of a strong man now…I’m glad. I can go knowing its Ok, to leave the rest to you now, little brother…”

Glyph: “Such a pity, to loose-“
Ray interrupted Glyph in his speech: “Glyph, let’s move. I don’t want to fight here.”
Glyph: “A meaningless proposal.”
Glyph: “Such words are reserved for those with the strength to challenge me. There is no need for concern. I will leave this city into destruction after I-“

Ray in a blink of an eye approached Glyph, planting a single hand into Glyph’s face. His fingers grasp a tight hold of his face around his head before leaping forward. His feet press down on the floor jolting up before traveling at high velocity in the sky. Leaving a trail of dust behind him while Glyph was unable to move by the sheer pressure of air suppressing his body at quick speed. Ray and Glyph left the city in moments before traveling to stop at landscape where Ray shove his arm down. Sending Glyph to travel down from the sky while creating big circle air waves in a straight line before impacting the ground. This created large creator around Glyph while the man stood on a single knee while Glyph stared in disbelief with a hand of his own brushing over his face.
Glyph whisper quietly to himself: “Impossible…to drive me back with sheer force…”

Ray landed on the ground with his bare feet while standing in front of Glyph.
Ray: “Let’s get started, Glyph.”
Ray: “I’ll take you down in a single instant.”

The Final Battle Begins

Glyph questioned his statement: “Take me down in a single instant?”
Glyph lips formed a smirk: “I see. I understand now, Ray.”
Glyph: “For why you no longer have spiritual aura. You did not lose it. You discarded it.”
Glyph: “I do not know how you achieved this, but you have converted all your spiritual energy to raw physical power of your spiritual body. It enhances everything from your muscular strength, to your footwork, your grip, your throwing ability, and your running speed. In return for drastically improving every physical ability you have sacrificed for your spiritual energy. You accepted that you could not challenge my power level as equal. Nevertheless, it is time for you to despair. I will teach you that even your last, best hope, cannot grant you power comparable to mine.”

Glyph dematerialized the atoms of his body before rematerializing back forming the atoms of his body behind Ray’s back. Ray narrowed his eyes to the corner of his eyes, acknowledging his presences after Glyph reform behind him. The two rivals turn each other in clashing both of their weapons together, creating a thick shock wave around them. The actual ground around them lifted in chunks of big rocks into the air while dust particles lifted in the air from the immense of sheer force accumulated the pressure in between them. Ray and Glyph’s weapon were grinding each other’s blades with sparks igniting from their blades.

Glyph commence talking again: “It is most curious that both of our evolutions. It seems that our evolutions belong to different worlds after all. If I but wish it. I can shatter your sword with a single strike.”

Glyph came with another swing of his blade directly to Ray’s torso. Ray capture the blade with the tip of his fingers, catching the blade itself. The ground behind Ray shattered into pieces crumbling down about miles of destruction behind his path. Glyph stared with eyes wide open while his eyelid twitched in nerve racking while unable to understand this situation.

Glyph spoke in his mind: “Impossible…He caught it? I could understand if he dodged it. Though it should have been too fast for him to do even that…Nevertheless, I could understand if he had merely dodged it. But to actually intercept my strike…”
Ray: “Why’re are you so surprised?” Is it so hard to believe that I can catch your sword? Does it scare you? Seeing something happen that you just can’t understand?”
Glyph: “Fascinating, Ray…”

Glyph leap back to set distance between both of them. Glyph changed his expression into serious attitude, arrogant to belief that Ray is stronger than him.

Glyph: “Something I cannot understand? Do not let your momentary victory drive you to be conceit. Your physical strength merely exceeded mine for a brief instant. Such miracles can occur from time to time. But I have transcended that level. So to ensure that such a miracle does not occur a second time. I need to utterly disintegrate you with my incantation!”

Glyph raise his left arm up in the air with an index finger pointing to the sky. A purple aura ignited surrounding the arena with Glyph commencing his incantation.

Glyph: “The crest of turmoil swells. The vessel of madness grows insolent. The boil, they deny, they become numb, they blink, and they impede slumber. The princess of iron claws. The mud doll ceaselessly destroys itself. Unite! Revolt! Be filled with Earth and know your own weakness!”

A mixture of dark purple aura manifested four dark walls around Ray’s body. Reconstructing walls that reach close to the sky while surrounding Ray like a dark coffin.

Glyph: “A perfect black coffin chanted by a being that has transcended both Blood God and Hollow! A gravitational torrent with the power to wrap space-time itself! Someone like you could never hope to understand it, Ray!”

Ray wailed his left arm to his side, extending fully before shattering the walls around him with a single swing of his hand. Glyph stood staring in disbelief from the scene, his eyes widen.

Ray: “It seems you haven’t noticed. I’m stronger than what you’ve become. Let’s finish it, Glyph…”
A sprout of blood loss released out from Glyph’s torso after Ray stood close in front of Glyph with his katana raised up in the air, as if the slash was done. Glyph dematerialized before materializing back to distance away from Ray. Glyph was left panting heavily unable to understand what just happened.

Ray broke the silence in between while standing in 45 degree angle, keeping his eyes and head focused on his opponent: “Feels strange, doesn’t it? You, who once asked me why I was retreating from you, are now retreating yourself. So this time, I’m going to ask you. Why did you just retreated from me?”

Ray stood sideways with his eyes narrowing to the corner of his eyelids in serious expression.

Glyph remain staring at the man in disbelief.
Glyph whisper to himself: “Is that how it is?

Glyph was building anger within his expression while his hand tremendously shake as for his katana was shaking within his hand.
Glyph: “Are you pleased that you caught my sword?
Glyph: “Are you pleased that you shattered my incantation?”
Glyph: “Are you pleased that you managed to wound me?”
Glyph: “Don’t be so conceited, don’t forget your fucking place! You Fucking Human!!!”

Glyph screamed out with a third eye growing in the center of his forehead. Blood started dripping down from his third eye while the blood ran down in between his eyes, his eye pupils narrowing up behind his head before his face started cracking along the surface of his skin. A big purple flash of light skyrocketed his spiritual pressure around his body. A gust of immense wind blowing trees down from the ground while buildings near by sway from the sheer force like an earthquake. Ray remain standing while observing closely with his hair swaying against the wind, keeping his focus intentionally on him.

Glyph scream in anger still with a purple light beaming down on his body from the sky. His spine torn apart in opening his back to leash out various wings with human heads on each corner the arm of the wing. Splattering a flash of blood covering around his perimeter. The purple flash disperse before clearing the view of Glyph’s new appearance. Three large wings grown from his back with human heads upon the corner of each arm of the wings. His hair grown larger with two large holes into his torso, which one provided the sphere in his chest and the other on his stomach. His right arm shape shifted into a blade while his skin was cover in a light pale colored. The surface of his skin was peel off to be rolled back behind his head while revealing the skull and meat on his face with black complete eyes. The sphere was visible in the center of his chest in the hole.

Glyph had monstrous voice tone: “As I believed. So you will not allow it after all. For me to be defeated by a mere Blood God.”

One of the human heads on his wings open its mouth to manifest purple ball emitting from its mouth. The purple ball was thrown directly to Ray’s direction. After impact the ball created a huge nuclear bomb, creating large explosion which was visible from inside of New York City, seeing how the mushroom cloud rose into the air. Ray remain standing in the midst of the fire from the nuclear bomb. His left arm was completely burnt while continuing to keep his focus on Glyph’s new form.

Glyph: “I see. So the damage from my attack only extends this far. But you have certainly lost the use of your left arm.”

Glyph approached Ray at high velocity with speed before shoving his claw like hand on Ray’s neck. His claws closed around in gripping a tight hold of his neck while forming purple aura ring around the man’s head. His wings extended to surround Ray’s body. Each human head stared down at Ray with yellow like eyes emitting from their heads.

Glyph continue to speak in monstrous voice tone: “Can you hear me, Ray?” Your weapon has manifested by the level of your power. But you lost that power, and you are mere shadow of what you were before now. There is no value even in consuming and analyzing you as you are now. Instead, you will meet your death at the hands of the truly transcendent one. By destroying you, I will bid an eternal farewell to the inferior essences of a Blood God and Hollow. Prepare to die, Ray.”

Ray broke his silence: “You think I’ll die…from something like this?”

Ray swing his katana upwards in breaking the distance in between them after breaking the purple light aura surrounding his head. Glyph was leap back from the sheer force of his swing.

Ray: “Enough of this bullshit, Glyph. I’m sick to death of listening to you talk. I’ll show you now…”

Ray move his arm holding his katana directly to Glyph. The tip of his sword pointing towards his opponent while placing his brunt hand on top of his other arm.

Ray: “This is my Final…Blood God Form.”

A dark red aura manifested around Ray’s body. The red light skyrocket into the sky, visible miles away from their destination.

Glyph remain staring at the man curiously.
Glyph spoke to himself: “What is that form?

A dark black aura surrounded the man’s body. His upper torso was wrapped up in black bandages from his stomach up to his neck, and mouth. Ray had longer black color hair that reached to the back of his legs. His eyes pupils changed into red like color with his pants in darker light color. A shadow aura manifested around his body to sway or swirled in ghastly like waves emitting from his body.

Ray spoke underneath the bandage wrapped around his mouth in muttering and deep tone: “This is the final form of the blood gods…is when I become the technique itself. When I use this technique…I will lose my powers. That’s what makes it final.”

Glyph stared intentionally while talking his mind: “I still cannot feel anything. When I evolved to a level of existence beyond beings between these realms, they become unable to affect me. Just as two-dimensional beings could not affect a three-dimensional one. Thus, neither they nor humans are able to sense my aura, unless I deliberately restricted myself in order to allow them to do so. But this cannot be. Surely he cannot have gone beyond me to a higher dimension still.”

Glyph scream out in anger: “That is ridiculous! It could never happen! A mere blood god can’t surpass me!”

A shadow like katana manifested in Ray’s hand after lifting his right hand up in the air, staring at Glyph with a serious expression still.

Ray: “Mugetsu…”
A voice emitted from Ray’s head, hearing the voice in his head which were voice memory of his brother training him back in the days: “If you use this technique, you will not be able to return back the way you used to be…Farewell, Ray.”

The man swung the shadow like katana directly towards Glyph. The form of dark energy was launched directly into Glyph’s direction. This cause the man’s body to split in half, the void in darkness consumed Glyph in the space which disintegrated his body in atoms. The perimeter around them emitted a black and white environment for seconds while simple white noise was heard whoever was nearby. The dark aura surrounding the arena in straight line path disintegrated Glyph’s body before the shadow aura arose into the sky in dispersing from Ray’s attack, afterwards hearing a loud thundering noises.

Ray hoover just about on the ground before landing on his feet. An utter quietness was silencing the worlds in peace. The dark clouds disperse from the sky while clearing out perfect view of the blue sky. Ray curiously look into the distance in the sky while news reporters stand by video recording and broadcasting the entire time. Ray close his eyes before kneeling down on the floor to take in the peace that sink into their realms now. His long black hair shattered in disintegrating back to his normal hair. The man’s tinted red eyes remain the same as the bandages around his body started shattering into pieces leaving him shirtless.

On the other side of the realm, Hanna and Anaya glance up to the sky. Noticing the presence of evil clearing out each realm in peace now.

Footsteps where heard behind Ray before the man approach to stand beside him. Ulysses stand next to Ray with Silver on his right shoulder while carrying the man known as his father. Ray slowly stood on his feet before standing up straight next to Ulysses.
Ray broke the silence: “Ulysses, we need to return back. My powers are diminishing slowly.”
Ulysses: “Indeed, lets return.”

7 Months Later…

The Tainted Ones gain victorious from this vicious battles against evil to face one of their fearsome opponents. The Tainted Ones have moved out and created large palace within the small villages nearby close to the palace’s walls. These small villagers surrounding the palace made peaceful life-style living amongst powerful warriors in their world. Crimson, Strider, Madeline, Manny, and Jin recover back to full capacity. Bella was still supervised while recuperating from her heavy wounds. Jin was promoted to become second in command because of Ray’s dominant power now diminished. Silver, Ray’s father joined the group to become the guardian of the palace. Ray who has not been able to gather his blood god powers but has the knowledge to teach the abilities to someone else. The only remnant of blood god powers techniques remain in Ray’s katana, which had red skull on each side of the handle resembling his blood powers.

The wall that surround the palace are held up, closing down whenever there is an emergency. The walls protect the members of the palace and secrets confidential information to the main commanders. At the center of the palace a white tower is visible from the top point of the roof, where criminals are imprisoned. The majority of the residents in the palace are noble families and members like the Tainted Ones attempting to become part of them.

Crimson took charge of the Third Division Barracks with Manny in charge of the Fourth Division Barracks, and Strider to be in charge of the Fifth Division Barracks, along with five other Captains, which all squads where to provide practice, training, and education suitable to 50 of their students.

The second function was to measure spiritual waves and oversee communications with spiritual wave measurement lab to monitor Earth’s realm to ensure spiritual stability. The communication research section oversees transmissions between Earth’s and this realm, carrying out important functions of the institution.

Madeline, Manny, Jin, Crimson, Bella, Silver, Ulysses, Hanna, Anaya, Age’s son, Strider, and Ray.

A New Era…

A man stood at the balcony with his arms crossed from the First Quarters Division while overseen the palace from above. A woman approach behind him with arms wrap around his stomach while she stood by. The man’s lips form a smile from the feel of her presences before drafting his fingers along the woman’s pale arms.

Hanna: “Good Morning there, Handsome.”
Ray: “Hey Gorgeous, had goodnight sleep?”
Hanna: “Yes, indeed.” The woman giggled pressing her cheek over on Ray’s back.

Ray: “Where’s our little boy at?” Ray Questioned.
Hanna: “That lazy boy remains asleep still.” A smile graze upon her lips.

Ray nodded before slipping from the woman’s delicate arms, grabbing ahold of her hand before Hanna interlock her fingers with his own.

Ray continue to remain on his normal state with no powers but his Hollow Powers now and his blood god weapon sheathed on his hip. His red pupil eyes remain unchanged while wearing just a simple long white robes. Ray and Hanna walked up to the crib before peering over. Hanna smiled before grazing the back of her hand across the baby’s boy cheek.

Ray: “You realize that I have to return him back to Earth’s realm…” Ray stated in low tone of voice.

Hanna: “I know…” She replied in depress like voice.
Hanna: “I’ve cared and love this kid like my own son. Are you sure it’s best for him to leave?” She questioned before turning to gaze up to the man.

Ray closed his eyes before taking a deep breath and exhaled.
Ray: “Yes, unfortunately. If this kid stays here any longer, it will unbalance our realms and perhaps affect time and space…”

Hanna quietly acknowledge before shifting to move her gaze down to the boy. She lean down hovering her head just about to press a light kiss on top of the baby’s forehead.

Hanna: “I love you, please take care…” She whispered quietly to the boy before grasping her delicate fingers around the baby in a white blanket. She embrace the small boy for few moments, keeping silence before she turned to her man.

Ray reach over in wrapping his arms around the boy after transferring the boy from her arms to his own. The man quietly look to his woman’s eyes, both exchanging glances before they kissed.

Hanna: “Be careful when you cross to the next realm.”
Ray: “Yeah, yeah.”
Hanna: “Stubborn as you are.”

Ray release a smile at the corner of his lips before turning to walk forward onto the balcony. Two men appear on each side of Ray’s presence while kneeling down on a single knee with their heads tilt forward. It was not long before the three disperse into thin air to escort the commander to Earth’s realm after taking the baby in his arms.

The Parents…

Somewhere in Earth’s realm, three men stood in front of house in cloudy but gloomy day. Ray handed the baby to couple while wearing black cape with hood over his head. His red colored eyes were visible under the hood. After handing the baby, Ray’s blood god weapon was reveal for brief moment, showing the two headed skulls on each side of the weapons handle. A chatter of conversation was heard in between the parents and Ray before retreating from their front yard, dispersing into thin air. The other two men who accompany Ray escorted the commander out, although Ray only having his basic abilities to move quickly.

The School

A man recognized as Mr. Brown took a seat behind his desk while reading the newspaper. A shadow swung by across his window, which illuminated his office dark for a second. Mr. Brown stood up turn on his chair around and stood up
The man recognized as Mr. Brown was taking a seat behind his desk while reading and writing some papers down. A quick shadow behind his window flown by before grabbing his attention to turn from his chair around and stand up to view outside his window.

Unknown man: “Aye’ there little guy.” A small chuckle was heard behind Mr. Brown.
Mr. Brown turn his attention around before taking glimpse of the man standing behind his desk. The man was not alone as other two male where kneeling down behind the first man who happened to be Ray.
Mr. Brown: “R-ray, it’s been a while.”
Mr. Brown had the habit of reaching his hand out and shaking people’s hand before Ray smile to extend his arm to shake in return.
Mr. Brown noticed Ray’s hand curiously before speaking out to Ray: “The beings who live outside of time. My hands grew this big 13 years ago…but you really don’t change a bit.”
Ray gave another smile: “Yes, indeed. Almost immortal.” Ray mutter a small chuckle under his breath before speaking in serious tone.
Ray: “Dear friend, I need to ask you a favor…”

Appearance of the Faded Darkness

The three shadows that left from the house front yard continue on jumping from each roof inside the urban community. Ray caught something unusual before stopping to stand at the tip of a radio tower while momentarily observing a man running desperate before making hasty turn into construction zone. The man seem to be hesitated while looking back and forth, as if being followed.

The other two shadows, which where subordinates of The Tainted Ones from the First Division Barracks landed around the radio tower’s dish network while focusing their attention to their master.

First subordinate: “Commander, is there something wrong?”
Ray in concern tone replied back: “Hold on.”

The man from a distance fell to the floor completely before Ray dissipated for a second.

The man who was being observed by Ray fell to the floor shortly afterwards before squinting his eyes in concern. Ray without warning, vanished before reforming his image on the floor next to the man lying on the floor inside the construction zone.

Second subordinate: “Wait, commander! We can’t!”

Ray was examining the man who was lying on the floor curiously
Ray questioned: “What just happened…?”

The man had frightening expression on his face while his eyes were staring out wide. The two soldiers escorting the commander appear behind Ray before observing the situation. Ray quickly turn his head and yelled out.
Ray: “Watch out!”

The man held frightening expression on his facial expression while his eyes were wide open. The two subordinates arrived after appearing next to their commander behind Ray, peering over the situation curiously. Ray’s had poor level of power unable to detected vicious spiritual power surrounding him before yelling out after noticing too late. “Watch out!”
A dark steel ball was launched forward in penetrating his first subordinate, impaling the man’s torso after the ball escaped at the other end of the man’s body. The first subordinate had fallen on the ground immediately after dying before hitting the ground emotionlessly.

A large semi large male was standing in the distance while approaching the arena inside the construction zone with orange hair on the side of his head with black colored hair on top. The man has long black bear on his jaw and chin while crossing his arms, staring at Ray.

Second subordinate: “Commander, he seems to be alter user of this realm.”
Ray: “I’ve noticed.”

Unknown man: “I am Koga, Richter.”
Ray: “What the hell did you do to that man?”
Richter was smirking.
Richter: “I have no intentions of telling you.”
Richter: “Sorry, but I have to crush you.”

The dark steel ball started floating in the air next to the man before multiplying into several steel balls. Each ball started manifesting to form a large metal spider creature before landing on the floor.

The dark steel ball alleviated in the air, floating before hovering next to the man before the steel ball multiplied into smaller steel balls. From each small steel balls, came into combining with each other to form a large metal spider before landing on the floor with its eight steel legs.

A voice emitted from the steel spider, having a woman’s like sadistic tone.
Doka: “Wonderful, this feels fascinating.”
Doka: “My body is tingling, I love it!”
Doka: “Look at me!”
The woman like steel spider spread her legs in the air.
Doka: “I am your type, aren’t I?”
Doka: “I prefer chasing after someone than being chased after.”

The steel spider brought its upper body down to lift its tail bone in the air, pointing towards Ray’s firsts subordinate. The tail bone shot steel ball heavy enough like bowling ball to strike a finishing blow. Ray unsheathed his blood god katana before intercepting the ball, crashing steel to steel as sparks emitting from the force against each other. The force of the ball launched Ray back on his feet while grinding his teeth together trying to remain a stance. The ball came to a complete stop before dropping on the floor, Ray arched his eyebrows curiously before the steel ball on the floor multiplied into smaller steel balls and launched upwards towards Ray’s direction. Ray attempted to block the small steel balls from below, however, the man was hit being bruised up by the powerful force of the smaller balls. After taking his attention off the steel spider, the large steel creature stood in front of Ray before swinging its steel leg towards Ray. Ray open his eyes after being caught off guard and flash stepped into the air, hesitated for a moment before landing on the ground again.

The steel spider crawl forward in front of the man before whip slashing over the man’s body. Ray evaded by ducking down below the spider’s waist line, feeling the steel slice just about his hair. He rolled forward underneath the steel spider before leaping forward to escape into the construction building.
Ray hesitated while breathing heavy: “Damn, she’s fast.”

Doka yelled out: “I won’t forgive you if you try to escape during the middle of this.”

The steel spider approach while crawling on the roof of the building while looking down to the man from upside down. From the tip of the tail bone of her sack, spread several web like steels that surrounded the entire first floor, giving less to maneuver around.
Doka: “Now you can’t escape.”
Ray: “Like I’ll run away.”

Ray generated a force of blood spiraling around his katana, which his sword contain the powers of blood god. The man swing his katana forward before noticing that his arm was held back while his weapon was leashed around the steel like webs, preventing him from moving further after noticing the webs were also wrapped around him.
Ray: “What!?”
Doka: “I’ve got you!”

The man was strapped in the steel web before she extended her spider like webs forward to whip slash Ray’s body. The man yell out in agony unable to move against the resistance force of her slashes. The man was taking a beating from the spiders whip slash.

Doka in the meantime was laughing considerably enough that she was entertained by this: “This is great, take this and that!”

Ray drop to his knees on the floor with his arms spread out by the web steel surrounding him. The man drop his katana on the floor after the spiritual within the weapon disperse back inside.
Doka: “Oh, done already?”

The man was panting on his knees in pain while groaning in pain with his blood running down his face. His clothes ripped apart after taking a beating before being knocked out shortly afterwards with his head tilting forward.

Doka extended her legs forward to grab ahold of his katana and retreated the weapon of his to grab ahold of the handle, pointing the sword towards Ray while kneeling unconscious.
Doka: “Too Bad.”

Doka crawl forward in instant through her steel webs pointing the sword towards Ray’s direction.

Ray remain unconscious with devious monstrous breath emitting from inside his mouth, growling underneath.

Ray reach a single arm to catch the blade back in his bare hands, gripping before swinging the woman above him after unbalancing her to release the grip of the swords hilt, grabbing ahold of his katana again.

Doka: “How did you break my whips!?”
Richter was standing in the distance looking surprised. Richter stated before being interrupted: “This…”
Ray’s inner voice was heard underneath his tone of his voice: “A-achn, it’s not polite to refer someone as this…You idiot!”

Ray’s eyes changed into yellow like color while looking up with half of his hollow mask covering one side of his face, looking at both of his opponents with a devious smirk at the corner of his lips.

Ray quickly laughed manically with his katana spinning in circles by the chain connected by his hilt before stabbing the sword into the ground, placing both hands over the hilt of his katana.

Richter: “Who are you?”
Ray’s inner voice: “Who am I? How can you ask such stupid question? I am who I am!”
Richter: “I thought you were just a regular alter user.”
Ray’s inner voice: “Ray is not the only one who is regular around here. I’m stronger, I’m not soft like he is. Even though I prefer we weren’t connected at all, it’d be awkward if he would die. So I’ll kill you instead.”

Doka: “Oh my, I hope this means you will put up a better fight than he did.”
Ray’s inner voice: “Wanna try you luck?”
Doka: “Absolutely!

Doka extended her spider like whips forward before Ray vanished into thin air. The man appear in front of the steel like spider. Ray’s inner voice yelled out: “Too slow!” The man shove his katana forward in penetrating into the creature’s torso, pushing his blade forward to press the mass of the steel’s weight back while Doka drag her spider like webs on the ground being pushed back after screaming out in agony. Ray’s inner voice continue to yell out: “You’re not dealing with Ray anymore! That weakling doesn’t even compare to me!”

Ray shift his sword upwards in slicing the steel like spider’s body in half, she vanished into thin air after destroying the creature. The man continue screaming out manically with his head mouth wide and huge grin on his lips before narrowing his eyes to the side, focusing his attention to Richter. The man known as Ray vanished before shoving Richter to steel bar behind him against by the neck, his fingers crushing around the male’s neck. Richter was desperately gasping for air while Ray’s hand crushed in suffocating the man while coughing in the chock hold. Richter’s saliva ran down on the corner of his mouth while unable to resist against the brute force of his grip. The man was suffocated to death after crushing his vital veins inside of his neck which blood seem to run up into his eyes and the blood continue to spew out from his mouth after releasing him.

Ray was laughing out loud in entertainment before stopping immediately. His left hand was moving uncontrollably before over lapping his fingers on the edge of the half mask on his face. His hand was attempting to pull down on the mask while screaming out to himself.
Ray’s inner voice: “Stop, you’re too weak! If you do this now you will die for sure! Don’t you understand you are not strong enough!” The man was fighting himself as if two souls control a single body.

Ray’s real voice started screaming before pulling the mask out from his face. The mask shattered into pieces before landing on his knees heavily trying to catch his own breath.

Ray’s second subordinate name Kyle rushed to Ray’s aid, however amaze from what the man witnessed.
Ray: “Let’s head back, quickly…”
Kyle: “Commander, what was that…I thought your-” The stated before being interrupted.
Ray yelled out “Now!!”
Kyle: “Y-yes sir!” His subordinate rush to pick up the first subordinate’s body before lifting the man on his shoulder. Soon enough Ray and his subordinates escaped back into the portal to return back into their realm. His subordinate came quick to lift the first subordinate’s dead body and slipping the body over his shoulder. The man stand up alongside his commander, but before vanishing the air thicken, which became heavier to breath while feeling an immense pressure surrounding them. A man with white robes showed up while wearing sandals. The man was hovering above the air from them before landing on his feet onto the street.

An Inner Enemy

The unknown man had long blue air with a smirk continuous on the corner of his lips. A semi-hollow mask cover along the side of his jawline while wearing white robes with his hands inside his pockets. A sheath sword attach on his hip while looking at them both deviously.

Kyle: “What’s with this man’s spiritual energy…Is he, an alter user too? Is he really the same type as the last one? The level of his spiritual energy is realm’s apart.” Kyle talked to himself while looking into the man’s blue eyes, his own eyes widen before trembling in fear.

The unknown man: “Which one…I’m asking which one of you is the strongest.”

Kyle: “C-commander, Runaway! I’ll hold him back” Kyle was soon interrupted after feeling a hand penetrated into his stomach. The unknown man was smirking. “I figured it wasn’t you.” Kyle’s blood ran down from his lips before thrown into the floor along with the other subordinate on his shoulder, Kyle fell to the ground emotionlessly.

Ray yelled out: “Kyle!” The man vanished before standing in front of the other unknown male. The unknown male block Ray’s katana with his forearm before pushing Ray back with mere spiritual pressure causing Ray to fly out into the distance while hovering in the air now.

Unknown man: “Aye, quite yanking my chain. I don’t wanna waste my time killing you how you are now. I am giving you a break to pull out your swords ability out. Do it, or I am gonna punch you full of holes in your body like I did to your buddy over there.”

The man recognized as Ray, activated his swords ability after creating a red wave of spiritual energy surrounding his body before clearing out to show skull like armor on Ray’s body.

The battle begins

An explosion was heard from the center of the urban city. The parents who adopted the child heard the explosion as the dust particles raise into the air, clear enough to be seen from their window as police sirens kept constantly passing by.

Ray leap forward in swinging his blade towards unknown man. The male grab ahold of his blade and smirked over to him.

The unknown male threw Ray straight across in the streets, picking up debris in the air as large cloud of dust follow along path of destruction. Ray leap up into the air to deescalate the destruction to the city. The unknown man appear in front of the other man with his fist swung across to his head before Ray vanished in thin air and reappear in the same spot with his sword swinging towards the unknown man. The man grab ahold of his sword with his bare hand while glaring at Ray. Ray then glance to the corner of his eyes watching the other man’s leg come directly to his stomach and leaving Ray to gasp out of air as blood spill from his mouth.

Ray flipping in circles out from the air before crashing down into the streets. The man crash into stop light before impacting in the middle of an intersection where cars immediately stop after the explosion.

The unknown male jumped on his feet up and down as if boxing before jabbing his feet back and forth. The man leap forward flying direct towards Ray. The man travel at high velocity after air waves followed right behind him.

The man recognize as Ray stood up on his feet before preparing after taking quick stance to block the male’s next attack before punching him. Ray swung his blade to make contact with his fist before the other male swung his feet towards the side of Ray’s face. This caused Ray to be launched down the street while flipping in circles and twisting around before impacting at the other end of the street, crashing into telephone post. A large creator manifested from the impact with Ray laying down on the floor, unable to move from the damage done to him.

A path of destruction was clear after the dust particles dissipated showing the unknown male walking down in his sandals from the street. He continue walking directly to Ray before standing in front of him. The man picked up Ray by the collar of his shirt before lifting him off the ground, staring up deviously smirk.

The man drop Ray on his feet before delivering several punches to Ray’s face, constantly punching hard blows to his face while Ray was taking every punch in before the final blow sent Ray flying up to the sky. The same male who punched him appeared above him, slamming him down with his very own knee. Ray impacted down on the same creator where he landed earlier and creating another cloud of dust. The unknown male slip his hands into his pocket and spit in the air.

Unknown male: “Is that all there is coming from a blood god?”
Unknown male: “Don’t disappoint me. Is your speed and defense only increase by that sword? Huh?”
A small clear of dust was visible enough to see Ray generating a cloud of spiritual energy within his katana, squinting his eyes directly to the unknown man. His sword was swung forward in creating energy blast simply converting the heat and light which can be equivalent blast from solar flare, directly shot towards the unknown male catching him off guard. The man simply crossed his arms over his body after the attack. The effect on impact, created a large layer of a blast across the sky after impact. Unknown man spoke to himself: “What the hell was that, they didn’t told me about this attack?”

Ray smirked while narrowing his eyes up to the unknown male: “Am I still disappointing you?”
Unknown male: “Huh, Hahahahaha! Bring it on. Now I can say that there is a reason to kill you.”

Ray’s inner but devious voice was heard: “Ray, what are you smirking about?” A black colored like shadow cover his entire left eye. “You seem pretty sure of yourself.” The man reach over with his palm to cover the left side of his face. Ray was startled while whispering to himself: “Wait just a bit longer.”
Ray’s inner voice: “Huh! How far do you think you can get on your own?”
Ray started thinking to himself now: “Damn here’s barely injured. Damn it, if I use the swords ability will he appear more often like this? At best I can give this about two or three shots before he takes over. What do I do?”
Unknown male: “Aye, don’t space out on me”

A woman in the corner of a building was observing the entire scene. “Ray…”

Unknown male: “Now it’s my turn.” The man started unsheathing his sword from his sheath.
Another male in white robes appears right behind the other unknown male, the male appears to be black with long curly hair while wearing black glasses.
Other male: “Sheath your sword, Irrelevant.”
Irrelevant sheath his sword before startled out in surprise: “Aden.”

Ray was glancing up to the sky while observing the other male who just appear before whispering the man’s name as if he recognized him: “Aden…He’s one of the captains who role with Glyph…”
Irrelevant: “Why the hell are you here?”
Aden: “Why you ask? You really don’t know? You take it upon yourself to invade Earth’s realm. Mobilized two of our men and then lose them in battle. You are in violation of my orders. You understand, don’t you?”

Aden started walking in the air passed Irrelevant.
Aden: “Glyph would be furiously mad if he was alive, irrelevant.”
Aden tap his finger in the air to open portal to their realm. “Come, your punishment will be decided in the underworld.”
Irrelevant: “Whatever.”
Ray yelled out: “Wait, where are you going?
Irrelevant: “Shut your ass up, we’re going back to the underworld.”
Ray yelled out: “Don’t play games with me! You come to attack us and leave like a whim!? You got to be freaking kidding me! Get your ass back here! We’re not finished yet!”
Irrelevant: “Give me a fucking break! Me, leaving is the only thing that could save you right now. I can tell by looking at you that move damages your body without your blood god powers. You can handle two or three more shots. Even if you can fire those without limits. You still wouldn’t stand a chance against my release form.”
Ray: “Released form…?”
Irrelevant: “Don’t forget my name. Just pray you don’t hear from me again. Irrelevant Dante. The next time you hear this name, it will be your last.”
The portal then closed up right in front of Irrelevant after dissipating into thin air.
Ray was standing in disbelief before kneeling down to the ground with hands on the floor.

The Guardian (Ten is still alive)

The full moon rise to the midnight sky while firefighters and police officers blocked the perimeter where Ray and Glyph show their presence in first appearance to reveal themselves amongst the people in New York.

Ten’s body was lying down emotionlessly on the ground under subterranean where the building collapsed on top of him underneath the city streets. A light was glimmering down on Ten’s body from the moonlight’s reflection where two large visible holes were penetrated from the street and down to the underground level.

The broken pipes from the devastation of the destruction was leaking water around Ten’s body. The water was rising slowly seeming to have created puddle around the underground room.

An electric shock was consuming around Ten’s body and quickly spread across his surroundings. (The camera pans across the other side of the room.) The electricity continue to surge over to blue large sphere manifesting inside the underground level. A man was curl up inside the sphere before opening his eyelids slowly, seeing how the sphere contain water inside. The sphere started to ignite into a reddish like color. The sphere then exploded turning the water inside the sphere into vapor quickly having an individual land on a single knee while tilting his head forward. The man was wearing dark red leather coat armor, similar to that of an assassin. The man ease and stood slowly on his feet before walking on water. On each step the water seeming to turn black slowly turning the area around him to rotten while approaching Ten’s body.

The unknown man kneel down in front of Ten’s body and curved his arms underneath his body before picking Ten up in his arms, standing quietly while looking over to Ten. The man glance up to the ceiling of the room to see the penetrable hole through the ground, observing the moonlight closely.

Unknown Man: “It is not yet time for slumber. We still have much work to do. My brother.”

The unknown man extended a large black angel like wing to expand about 10 feet wide to his side. His wing rose over in the air and swung down instantly, having the man and ten vanish in seconds within the air as black large feathers where left behind on the scene.
