Approaching the End of all Things


Sephiroth sat atop the skyscraper of the silent Tokyo City.   He stared at a flock of birds frozen in mid air.. as if somebody had captured them in a 3d photograph.. 

It was silent.  Not even the wind blew.  While space and time continued outside the planet, everything here was unmoving.  And yet somehow gravity persisted, and the air was still breathable. 

"Fascinating.." Sephiroth mused.  "Now Akira.. Ben.. what will you two do? Will you share my thoughts on this new being? On the new Shub Niggurath."

Down below.. in the parking lot where the battle started, a ragged and panting Etheria stood up gingerly, leaning on her sword, barely alive. "Wh-what happened? The world.. it is too silent.."

Parvarti levitated down to the ground, her armor dented and sparking, but still working as she narrowed her eyes. "What did you do?"

"This wasn't my doing.." said Etheria. "Akira..? Wait.. My lord where are you-!?"

Akira was nowhere to be seen. 

"Shit, did he get past us?" Parvarti growled. 

Ophelia, back in her normal form, stepped forward, hand on her hip. "That can't be right, I had an eye on him the whole time, it was as if he just disappeared.. or.."

Ophelia  whirled around to look at the apartment. "Quick, We need to-."

"HOLD it." growled Etheria, brandishing her blade. 

"Don't even try it, we already beat you thanks to Parvarti's new abilities here." said Ophelia. "You can't honestly think you even have enough power to fight me in my base form."

"My Queen!" 

Loba dashed into the street, her ears twitching as she dashed into the parking lot on all fours before skidding to a halt in front of Ophelia. "The child.. she's been taken care of."

"Good, it wouldn't do for any innocents to get caught up in this." Ophelia muttered.

"LOBA! Assist me! They mean to stop Lord Akira from-." Etheria began. "Wait.. w-what did you just call-..?"

"Sorry Etheria, I'm playing for the opposite team now." Loba said with a shrug. "Wait.. has Akira actually-?"

"From the looks of it.." Ophelia began, taking a step forward.

Loba sniffed the air. "I smell Tennyson. He is alive.. I also smell Akira.. he is next to Tennyson.. but.. why isn't Tennyson already dead? He seems to be waiting."

Ophelia's back exploded with black energy as shadowy wings burst from her shoulderblades and she made to fly back to the apartment. 

"SHEEEEEEENNN!" the massive sword of Etheria exploded down into the street between the vampire and the house. 

Etheria gritted her teeth as she picked her  blade up and glared forward. "Come then knaves.. and see if I will even LET you go NEAR him.."

Ophelia gritted her teeth and flew back as Parvarti stepped over next to her.

At the same time, a car skidded into the parking lot.. screeching to a halt as Shi-Jian rolled out onto his feet, clutching his gun. "Somebody call a cop!?"

In mere moments after that, Highfeld, Hanzo and Dragfeld stepped through the parkinglot gates, looking ragged, but still standing. 

The entire group stopped in front of Etheria, glaring at her. 

"You still like your odds?" growled Ophelia. 

Etheria grinned. "Hmph.. if it means I'll die, I'll even give my life to the cause of my lord.."

Etheria brandished her blade. "COME HITHER! All of you.. I'll cut you all! Send a thousand, no a million.. I WILL NOT STOP!!!"

Etheria let out a scream.

"This is familiar.." Dragfeld muttered. "Wait.. Don't tell me.. she had THIS on her the whole time!?"

"This?" Muttered Hanzo. "Wait what?"

"That knight is from me and sister's world.. of course she'd have something we'd be able to recognize.." said Highfeld. "And I must say, this is a surprise. I see.. no wonder she caught Sephiroth's attention.. "

Etheria exploded with light.. as her armor morphed into somewhat revealing bikini armor.. and her cape exploded into angelic glowing wings.  Her sword's blade became bluish white energy as her shield disappeared, forsaking all forms of defense.. 

A blue gem appeared in Etheria's forehead as she opened her eyes to reveal that her pupils glowed white.  Lightning exploded from her body like a storm as the air began to go damp like an approaching storm.

"The Seraphic God  Ramuh...Much like how Dragfeld is the avatar of Bahamut, it seems this Etheria has earned the favor of a god of her own."

"Can you take her down Draggy?"  Hanzo asked. 

"It would take some effort.." Dragfeld murmured. "I expended much of my strength on Shub Niggurath.. but, if I can keep cautious.."

Parvarti's eyes glowed and she stepped forward. "Enough... ENOUGH OF THIS.."

"Tsk?" Etheria stepped back. What? That girl's power.. was STILL growing!? How was this possible? 

"Par.." Murmured Shi-Jian. "Whoa.. a.. are you glowing.. h-hey?"

Parvarti's mech suit form began to turn green and bright.. as her armored portions began to grow and shimmer.. wrapping around her.. 

"CLANK CLANK RRRRIIIIP!" 

Parvarti levitated into the air as more armor layered over her.. along with gears.. hydraulics.. mechanized muscle fibers... 

Towering at 60 meters tall.. Granheart 010 towered above the parkinglot.. her form was now more slender than before.. with large rocket equipped shoulder pauldrons.. and twin tails made of solid green energy swirling behind her head.  Her body was more feminine than before, with To'kustar-like two toed mechanized feet, and large clawed fingers. 

The mecha brandished its arms as a shockwave of power erupted from it, shaking the entire city. "THIS IS GRANHEART VAHALLA REGINA!! This is the will of me and Granheart.. to protect the one person who helped me become who I truly am!! I AM PARVARTI KUMAR.. AND I AM HIS NUMBER ONE FAN!!! AND IF YOU TRY TO KILL HIM.. My Granheart.. WILL TEAR YOU APART!!!"

"Holy.." Etheria stammered, right before Granheart disappeared in a burst of speed and reappeared right behind her.

"SHIIIT!" Etheria only managed to scream out right before a giant mechanized foot sent her flying like a rag doll into the upper layers of the atmosphere.

"Did... the Giant Robot just get under the guard of the one person in the Irreverant Douches who could beat all of us at once without Drag-chan..?" whispered Shi-Jian as he stared with popped eyes. 

"Yep.." said Hanzo. 

"Cool just checking.." said Shi-Jian. "KICK HER ASS PARVARTI-CHAAAAAN!"

"Ophelia.." Hanzo looked at Ophelia. 

"I don't believe Ben's in too much danger yet.. after all we left those two to guard him and Erice.." Ophelia muttered. "All the same.."

Hanzo grinned. "We'll hold down the fort here.. go get him.."

Ophelia smiled. "Right, thank you my friends."

"I'll head in with you." said Loba, following Ophelia loyally. 

"Wh-where is she!?" meanwhile in the air.. The Seraphic Avatar Etheria looked around quickly, her wings spread magnificently above the clouds. 

"SHHEEEEEEEEEENN!" Etheria froze as right behind her, the electronic eyes of a giant mecha gleamed. 

"RRRAAAAAAHHHHH!!" Etheria's sword grew as massive as a skyscraper and she whipped around, hurling a slash of neverending power, strong enough to split mountains in half or maybe carve the core out of the very planet. 

Granheart Valhalla Regina activated two green glowing blades on its wrists and slammed them against the blade, a shockwave erupting from both weapons meeting in the middle. 

"Sh-she... a being from the lower mortal realms.. is using a mechanized machine.. to match me.. in combat!?" Etheria gasped as she struggled against the blades. "THIS ISN'T POSSIBLE.. THIS ISN'T... WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU!!!?"

both combatants flew back as Etheria threw a palm into the air. 

"I BRING UPON YOU.. RAMUH'S JUDGEMENT!!!"

A powerful surging lightning bolt exploded from the sky and blasted straight through Granheart's chest. 

Granheart's eye sensor flickered as she began to tumble through the air.

"NOOO!" Parvarti roared as she struggled inside the cockpit.. sparks sputtering through her equipment. 

"This is the END!!" Etheria exploded down from the sky, aiming her giant lightning sword at Granheart's chest, meaning to kill both pilot and mech in one fell swoop. 

"BOOOOOM!" Granheart's eye visor glowed powerfully.. and a strange green symbol shaped like an hourglass erupted from Granheart's back, reigniting the mech as it hurled out a roundhouse kick, forcing Etheria to dodge. 

"WHAT!?"  Etheria roared. "H-how..!? JUST WHAT IS THAT MACHINE!? Wh-WHO BUILT SOMETHING LIKE THAT!!?"

"I.. I wasn't informed on the exact specs of the engineer who morphed Granheart's Giant into a Mobile God.." muttered Parvarti. "But I was told this was the last and greatest work of the Engineer Promethen.. made to order by my father.."

"Pro.. me.. then..?" Etheria's eyes widened in horror. "No.. NO.. NO NO NO.. You fool of a girl.. he's been behind the scenes the whole time.. that boy.. the omnitrix.. you.. GODDAMNIT.. HOW FAR INTO THE FUTURE DOES HE SEE!?"

"Wh-what are you talking about!?" Parvarti growled. "Now you're just spitting non-."

"FOOL.. PROMETHEN is the alias.. and signature of the being that travels universes building what he pleases..  he built the Great Runes of the Eastern Seraphic Temple in my world.. Promethen is is his pen name.. but those who truly knew him will always call him.. AZMUTH!!"

Etheria's eyes blazed with fury as she pointed her blade down at Granheart. "HE MADE THAT ROBOT.. TO MOCK ME.. HE MADE THE OMNITRIX.. TO MOCK ME.. AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! DO YOU HEAR ME.. YOU DAMN ALIEN FROG!? I WILL KILL ALL OF YOUR CREATIONS!!  I WILL HAVE MY VENGEANCE!! YOU AND ALBEDO WILL ALL DIE!!!"

Etheria exploded forward. "ALL CONNECTIONS TO THE OLDEST OLD ONE.. ALALAYA!!.. MUST DIEEEEE!!!! I WILL KILL ALL GALVAAAAAAAANNSSS!"

"HOLY FUUU-!!" Parvarti screamed as Etheria collided with her and an explosion shook the entire sky, nearly splitting the entire frozen reality apart.

Hanzo watched the sky split.. 

"I should.." Dragfeld began.

"No.. she can handle her.." said Hanzo.

"You are sure?" Dragfeld murmured.

"Indeed.." Highfeld. "I felt the power of that being.. Parvarti you called her.. that construct she keeps as her weapon is not ordinary. Quite intriguing. If anything, we should help the vampire check on my comrade in arms..  I cannot help but feel that we are nee-.."

Highfeld froze, his eyes went wide, his mouth opening.

Dragfeld also froze. "I.. feel it too.."

"What is it!? What the hell's got you two powerhouses looking like you just saw the face of hell!?" Shi-Jian stammered.

Slowly, Dragfeld and Highfeld turned around...

Prompting Hanzo and Shi-Jian to turn their heads too.

She strode down the street..

One could almost feel the ominous drums of boss music playing in the silent background... of course there wasn't really any music.. but it almost felt like this situation warranted it..

The Anomaly herself strode down the street, smiling leisurely. 

"Wh-... who is... is that a girl?" murmured Shi-Jian. 

"TH.. that's.. Sh.. Shub Niggurath..?" Highfeld whispered.

"It is.. and yet it also isn't.." Dragfeld whispered as well. "Wh-.. what kind of creature? It is.. it's beyond anything I ever.."

Hanzo felt his breath catch in his chest. He knew what it was.

It was fear.

Because he knew anything that made Dragfeld or Highfeld look as horrified as they did was not something ANYBODY could defeat..

"Hello.." the girl smiled and waved as she continued to stroll towards them.

With each step she too, fragments of the earth disintegrated into strange diamond shapes.. and skyscrapers all around the light of the now rising sun began to rise into the air, levitating with an ominous creaking..  her very voice seemed to suffocate all who heard it..

"I am looking for my love.." the girl whispered. "I've never met him. But.. the one who was me before I was me.. she has met him. She likes him a lot.. so I want to see why.. I want to see why she liked him. Maybe I'll like him too.."

Highfeld narrowed his eyes and approached with one step. "Who is it you seek?"

"Hmmmm .. lets see.. I.. can't remember his face clearly.. I don't have much of her memories see.. but I hope if I can find him, I'll finally be able to look clearly into his gaze and see for myself... "

The girl looked up for a moment.. then smiled. "Oooohhh.. we have guests.."

Highfeld looked up too...  a strange shape was flying across the sky, as if just out of orbit..  he knew who they were..

"Contemelia.. if even they are curious..." He muttered. "Then this girl.. is definitely not something that anything in the Multiverse has ever perceived. Wh-what is.. Hey.. what are you? Are you Shub Niggurath?"

The girl smiled for a moment. "I was.. I think I was. But no."

"And when you find who you  seek, what is it you intend to do?"

"I want to play.. I want to play play play.. " said the girl, twirling around on one foot. "Eheheheh."

"Uh.. that doesn't seem too bad." said Shi-Jian.

"Yep.. and when I get rid of this whole dumb world, I'll make something even better, more fun! Of course I can't get rid of it.. till I see him of course.. "

There was a cold chill in the air.

Highfeld looked at Dragfeld, who nodded. 

"That sounds.. more bad." Shi-Jian wheezed. 

"Hmmm.. fascinating." Highfeld muttered. "Tell me more about how you intend to play."

"Nah." said The Anomaly with a smile. "Cause you just want me to keep talking so you can kill me while I'm distracted right?"

Highfeld sighed. "Hmm, for somebody seemingly so infinitely naive, you are frighteningly perceptive."

Highfeld hurled out a hand, energy erupting from it. 

"Hmph.. boring." The Anomaly flicked a finger, and immediately Highfeld's entire body unraveled like a roll of film tape.. turning into a ribbon of flesh around a skeleton as his dead body splattered to the ground. 

"BROTHER-!" Dragfeld began right before the Anomaly jabbed a finger into her forehead. 

There was a sputter, and Dragfeld's head exploded into a splash of colorful paint as her body melted into a puddle of vibrant liquid. 

"Ooooh pretty." whispered the Anomaly. 

"SHIT! SHI-JIAN RUN!" Hanzo roared as he drew his blade. 

"Zip it.. or unzip it.." said the Anomaly with a sigh. 

A jacket zipper appeared in the middle of Hanzo's body.. which zipped open spilling his guts out.. 

Hanzo fell dead at the anomaly's feet in a puddle of his own blood and innards. 

"O.. Oh god.. OH GOD OH GOD OH GOD OH GOD!!" Shi-Jian screamed as he immediately entered his Hazard Gear form and aimed his gun, firing reality shattering bullet after reality shattering bullet, each one powerful enough tear through even multidimensional powers like the Infinity Stones. 

The Anomaly merely smirked playfully as she flicked each bullet away with a swipe of her finger. "Ohh.. fun toy.. I wanna try.."

The Anomaly snapped her finger, and Shi-Jian's head fell of his own body. 

"AAAAAAHHHHH!?" Shi-Jian's head stammered, still alive on the ground as he watched the Anomaly pull his temporal gun out of his limp hand. 

"Coool." The girl grinned as she practiced aiming with the gun, making sound affects like a playing child. "Boom boom.. bang bang.. teehee..."

"Wh-what the hell!?" Shi-Jian's head stammered. "H-how am I- EH!? W.. W-WAIT WHERE ARE YOU POINTING THAT!?"

The girl merely smiled playfully, her innocence contrasting her immediate cruelty as she pointed the gun's barrel down at Shijian. 

"BAAAANG!" the head splattered into nonexistence as the Anomaly tossed her gun over her shoulder and pushed Shi-Jian's remaining body aside. "Hmmm.. already bored again."

"BOOOOOOOOOM BOOOOOOOOOOMMM!"  Two titanic crashes exploded into the street as both Granheart and Etheria rose from the dust in between The Anomaly and the building she was walking to.

"Wh-what the!?" Etheria turned to look in the girl's direction, as did the giant mech.  "What is this strange feeling I'm-?"

"You're both boring.. go away." said the Anomaly simply. 

She snapped her fingers and immediately Etheria's body exploded into confetti. 

"G-Gah.!?" squealed Parvarti's voice from in the mech. 

"Hmmm.." The Anomaly pouted. "Weird.. I can't manipulate that big robot thing.. Oh well.."

Several giant black spikes appeared in mid air, tall as skyscrapers and stabbed directly into Granheart... pinning her to the ground directly through the chest..

Parvarti's blood seeped through the cracks of the cockpit as the machine went silent. 

"And now..  no interruptions.." The Anomaly said with a smile as she continued to stroll to the building. "How nice.."

******************

He stood before the door..

Akira Watanabe was standing in the hall just outside the apartment of Ben Tennyson and the Radiant Seven.. 

He placed a hand on the knob.

"You must kill Ben Tennyson.. " Sephiroth's voice echoed in his head from his previous conversation. "As long as the Omnitrix exists, your wish will never be honored. The device that thrives on the supernatural, on bringing it all to light. It's true nature.. is that of discord."

"This is the end Ben.. I'm sorry, I really hoped that maybe one day we might've worked together to bring peace to the Multiverse.. but.." Akira sighed. "In the end.. as long as beings do not exist on an equal footing, utopia is an impossibility."

Akira opened the door.. and found himself shocked.. 

He was staring at a vast forest, through which a strange cobblestone road wound.. sunlight spattered through the leaves as birds chirped nearby.. like a completely different world lay on the other side of the door. 

"Nia.. " Akira muttered. "Of course, as the former Nyarlatothep, she would have at least some retained reality manipulation and dimension tampering.. she must've created this space to defend Tennyson. Meaning there might be traps.."

Akira stepped through the door.

"There aren't any traps. This space was created for a different reason.."

Akira froze as he looked up the road to see two familiar figures.

Akira smiled. "I suppose it is fitting that you would be the last ones to stand in my way..  Mika Homura.."

Mika glared down at Akira silently, Deca standing at her side, and continued. "This space was created so that when I had to fight, I wouldn't end up wrecking the house.. other people live in this building too.. we want it to be nice for them when they come back.."

"Mika.. or perhaps I should call you this world's Ben Tennyson." said Akira. "heheheh, and the puppet homunculus, how cute."

"I'm no puppet. I'm me." said Deca. "The me that will crush you before you even make it a step near Big Brother."

Akira clapped his hands. "Bravo bravo of course, I forgot. I suppose you too should be commended as a proper wielder of the Omnitrix, like me and Homura-san here." 

"That device on your wrist is a fake." said Deca quietly. "Don't even dare compare it to my brother and sister's true masterpiece." 

"S..sister?" Mika said. 

Deca continued to stare quietly at Akira, but even then, Mika smiled and nodded before glaring back at Akira again.

"Hmph.. perhaps you are right. Perhaps this is but a cheap imitation." said Akira. "But that is why Sephiroth told me what had to be done.."

"What?" Mika muttered.

Akira smiled and pointed at the Seraph Omnitrix. "Don't you know what this is? Look closely. This.. Omnitrix.. was once a prototype. The Seraph Omnitrix was built on its remains.. he took it from another Ben Tennyson during his Radiant War.  Of course he could never rebuild it to its former glory without Azmuth, but.. all Omnitrix's share one thing in common. The power source.. have you ever wondered where it came from?"

Mika moved a hand to her Omnitrix's dial. "Do you think I care?"

"Attack me and you will never know.." said Akira. "About the truth.. about why all Ben Tennysons are an integral part of the Multiverse.. about what makes the Omnitrix so important compared to even technologies deemed more advanced..  about why Azmuth is so highly regarded by even the great Kischur Zelretch Schweinorg and Nia Tothep. Why Sephiroth has become even more enraptured with This Ben Tennyson's fate.

Akira smiled as he continued to step forward. "Don't you want to know who Alalaya is?

Mika glared and raised her wrist, tapping the button and popping the faceplate of her Omnitrix. "All I want to do.. is say one thing.. ITS HERO TIME.."

There was a flash of green light as Female Humungousaur charged forth, hurling her fist out..

"BOOOOM!!" The metallic armored fist of Seraph Humungousaur met Humungousaur's fist as a shockwave erupted between them. 

"Very well.." said Seraph Humungousaur. "Then let us end this  with one last fight.. between the last Omnitrix Wielders the Multiverse will ever see!!"
