Last chapter, Ufisator attempted to defeat the armored criminal- and while he did bring the man to deaths door, Ufisator was still defeated. Out of the fear that the man still had another ability up his sleeve, Karia ran away with Sariel who came to pick her up. They entered a room filled with other survivors and security cameras, to where she discovered that there was no way to ask for help from the outside of the base due to the clouds around it. They come up with the plan for Karia to take Sariel's supposedly capable Blessing using her own in order to stall out the criminal- but, doing so actually forces Sariel's soul to go into Karia's body...

Karia's P.O.V.

*CLANG- CRACK! CLANG- CRACK!*

"Ohhhhhhhhhh- I can hear you my Lord, I know you're down there, the distractions have been sent to the abyss! The day of the Lords shall begin- Huh?" The fully recovered monster calls out as he slams his spear down into the tiled floor over and over as a crater is forming under him, but he's lost the aura around him now, I can- no, I WILL KILL HIM!!

"SPIRIT OF SARIE-" I shout, but get interrupted by something spikey slamming into my head that sends me flying through a few benches to where I land on top of two dead bodies.

"You're nothing but a fool," The monster says as he lands next to me and crouches down while sticking his spear in the ground. "father showed me, you did all of that to Sariel to get a power to beat me. And yet here you are, still beneath my feet." He says as he starts to grind his metal boot into my chest, causing me to cry in even more pain... T-THE HELL DOES HE KNOW?!

"See? People like you are the reason why I hate this world. Crying on the floor after your allies gave up their lives- and souls for you to stop me. DISGUSTING!!" He screams as he kicks me across the room again, causing me to fly through a bunch of benches- but- but like hell if I can feel the pain anymore...

"No-no you'- you're wrong! I'll... I'll..." I start to whimper as he starts to walk away from me to where he continues to slam the floor... why won't he at least... kill me?

Then from out of nowhere someone roughly grabs my shoulders to pick up and pull me away from the fight. But in return the person gets charged at and sideswiped by the side of the monsters spiked spear, which sends them flying through the air as I get dragged along with them.

Finally we land with a skid as the person let's go of me.

*HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUFF!*

I look up, and see that Aora's standing tall above me and taking in a huge breath to recover from the blow...

"O-O-Officer Aora... h-help me... Sariel, he's-" I cry up to her- where the hell was she when we were making our plans, if she was I wouldn't of needed to take Sariel's Blessing!

"Shit Karia you idiot!! Oh- another Officer! Listen, please it's our only chance, try to stall out the criminal so we can use IT!" One of the guys who beat up Sariel shouts out to Aora as they wave the gold and white telo-sphere which makes her look towards them...

"Go. You have a few minutes." Aora replies as she runs and jumps over the benches and bodies like their nothing towards the monster... no... she-she'll die, I should have been the one to do this- but I can't move...

"WHAT THE HEEEEELLLL, HOW DARE YOU- FATE PROMISED THAT THERE WOULD BE NO MORE INTERFERENCES!!! You- YOU'VE DISGRACED FATHER!!!" The armored monster shouts while taking in frantic breaths, and a second later he charges towards Aora and tries to pierce her chest as the others with the telo-sphere start to run through the other side of the cafeteria.

But in response at the same time Aora says "Imagine Me." and the spear jerks sideways, and barely pierces her side. She must have imagined herself hitting it off course... but more importantly it didn't take her soul...?

He pulls the spear back and jumps back as well, and at the same time another group of technicians quietly run through the cafeteria exit- and start fiddling with Ufisator's unconcious body...

"Ah- father warned me about those!" The monster cries out as he spins around to face the group running with the telo-sphere, then bends down and does a insanely fast jump towards them...

But at the same time Aora bolts into one of the benches that are broken in half. Then using her momentum she grabs it, and does a single superhuman spin as she swings the whole bench along with her, as her arms start to vibrate like crazy.

*FWOOSH!*

*SHK!*

Aora stops her spin without even sliding and launches the bench at the monster- who just landed and sliced two of the runners in half. He's about to thrust the spear into the last one until-

*CRASH!*

The bench slams into the back of his spear, causing him to stumble forwards and look behind him, to see that Aora is running straight for him again. This let's the last runner shakily pick up the telo-sphere and to keep on running, as the group of technicians are still working on Ufisator...

The monster grunts, spins around and jumps towards Aora at crazy speeds- getting ready to stab the spear into her chest. But then just as Aora probably uses her Blessing- he changes course and raises his spear up to do a vertical slice-

*SLASH!*

Aora tries to jump back- but she still takes a massive cut from her right shoulder down to her left leg... what were we thinking, there's no way we can win this, maybe that's for the better, I won't have to live with myself anymore...

"FIRE." Aora commands as she bends down, sticks her right leg behind her, pulls her right arm back and balls up her fist without even paying attention to the blood pouring out of her torn clothes as the man looks confused for a second.

*BOOM!*

The technicians by the downed Ufisator get a missile to fire out of one his chest holes, and it flies straight towards the monster.

*SLAS- BOOOOOM!*

The man turns and slashes it from a distance- causing a big explosion to happen right in front of him as the technicians run back through the cafeteria exit at the same time.

Aora then says "Imagine Me" and starts to swing her arm forwards as her elbow starts to vibrate like crazy- she must be using her Blessing to hit the back of her arm and propel it like before...

The monster clumsily spins around and swipes his spear back at Aora on instinct, which slices through her jaw- but it's not enough to stop her as she lunges forwards and upwards, slamming her fist into the mans chin...?

*CH-CRACK!*

The monsters head rolls all the way back and his helmet shatters entirely with a giant cracking noise, as Aora's arm swings all the way behind her with another painful cracking noise.

"N-no way, how?! Was it really that simple all along... should I have just shot him when I had the chance...? That would've worked, wouldn't it? Wouldn't it?! Sariel died for nothing because of me, didn't he... NO. I can't think like that now, not until this is all over... maybe the monster will just take my soul, and I won't ever have to remember this... yeah... this'll all just be nothing  I think to myself with tears still dripping out of my eyes, and at the same time the monster is stumbling backwards while grabbing his head with both hands. Aora on the other hand is looking even worse, with the cut stretching down her frontside pouring out blood now, and her jaw is being forced to droop down as it obviously looks broken with some flesh being visible from the outside. Of course, she's panting like hell as well...

"Ohhhh- AHHHHHHHHH- FUCKING- HEEEEEEEEEEELL... Father help me, it hu-h-hurts so- so BADLY..." The man cries out as he takes his hands off of his disgusting head. His long black curly hair stretches down to his shoulders, and his teary eyes are a deceiving navy blue next to his face that's covered in red scars. He also has a scratchy thick white "A" tattooed onto his left cheek for whatever reason... so this is the face of the man who ruined everything... or did I...

"I-I-I apologize father I was distracted, he-he must've not gone too far..." The man cries out tiredly as he sloppily spins his head towards the entrance of the giant cafeteria, to where the person running with the telo-sphere was just able to escape from... he must know about what it does... this isn't looking good. Or is it... I don't know, Sariel, I-I'm so sorry!!

"Shit come back he-"

*POW!*

Though before the man can chase the runner Aora lunges forwards and slams her good arm into the side of his face. Though, it looks like her right arm that she used for the uppercut is broken now as it hangs down beside her... why, why is she not scared...?

The man clumsily jumps backwards over some of the broken benches and bodies behind him, and as he slides back he digs his hands into his pocket- oh no, he must be taking out one of those healing vials again!...

"Imagine Me."

*POW- SCREEEEECH!*

Though before he can use the vial Aora kicks the side of a bench next to her, causing the end of it to quickly sweep into the mans legs and for him to drop and break the vial.

"LEAVE- HAH- ME- HAH- ALOOOOONE!!!!!" The man cries out as he properly grabs his spear, and jumps towards Aora without healing.

"...Imagine Me." Is all Aora says as she raises her one good arm to fight and bends down as the monster slams down in front of her.

He dramatically pulls his spear far behind him, and immediately thrusts it forwards towards the middle of Aora's chest- but instead of just one he's stabbing with the spear over and over again like a gatling gun.

Though for each hit, Aora's somehow keeping up with them by either using her bare hand to direct the spearhead away from the center of her chest- or using her Blessing to imagine herself punching it off course. But, every hit is at least cutting her chest and hands, and some are directly piercing through the sides of her chest as blood splashes out of her...

"W-what?! Why isn't her soul getting launched out... wait don't tell me... does her Blessing let her control souls?! Yeah, yeah it must! She can save Sariel, she can help me!" I think to myself with hope as my eyes open a bit wider, but I still can't move...

"AHHH FATHER SHE FOUND OUT THE SOUL IS WHERE THE HEART IS, PLEASE, OH PLEASE LORD BLESS ME WITH MORE OF YOUR FATE!!" He shouts as the tatoo on his face starts to glow in bright changing colors. He then pulls his spear back and sloppily slams the spikey handle of it into the side of Aora's head which sends her flying through a few benches until she crashes onto the floor and gets pinned under them. At the same time the monster pants for a bit until he starts to run towards the cafeteria exit- though not at superspeed this time...

Then somehow, Aora pushes the benches off of her and kicks up from the ground with slashes and holes being visible all through her fully red clothes and body. Blood's covering her silver hair as well, but this time her muscles are bulging out like crazy and are way bigger than normal. Even her amber eyes are wide open with veins being visible throughout the white of them...

She starts to bolt towards the monster who's almost towards the exit, and he spins his head around in shock when he sees her up again- though the tatoo on his face isn't glowing anymore.

"WHAAAAAAAAT- SHIT, YOU'RE ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE?! NO- NO NO THE RUNNER CAN WAIT, YOU'RE DENYING OF FATHER IS FAR MORE FUCKING DANGEROUS THAN HE!!!" The man pants out as he spins around and pulls his spear back as Aora is about to reach him, and then tries to swipe her head with it.

"Imagine Me." Aora still says calmly as her shoulders shake heavily and she ducks under the spear in less than a second.

Aora stands up and steps back, and at the same time the monster starts to stab his spear at her over and over again. But she just keeps on using her Blessing to swat the hits away with one arm as she doesn't even blink, though even with her buffed up form every single hit is at least stabbing her in the side and getting closer to the center of her chest now...

"DO YOU NOT FEAR THE ABYSS- ONE *HA* HIT *HA* IS ALL IT WILL TAAAAAKE!~" The monster cries out like a lunatic as the white A on his face starts to glow again.

At the same time, one of the stabs cause a drop of blood to splash into Aora's right eye- which makes her jump back at a crazy speed.

*FWOOSH!*

The monster runs forwards like an animal as he pulls back his spear and gets ready to slash Aora this time. In "defense" Aora swings her good arm out in front of her, sticks her fingers out and together, and launches her hand towards her own chest. No, don't tell me, not Aora too... why... why couldn't I have done this right...?

*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!*

An insanely loud and stunning explosion sounds just before Aora is about to stab herself and the monster is about to slash her- and at the same time daylight fills the prison as the dark clouds and stars above us shatter like glass.

"FUUUUHUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK- no no stay calm remember the way- surely I would be allowed to use it against them-" The monster screams and at the same time Head Commander Prósopsi wearing his white and golden robe teleports onto the floor right in between the two.

"Thrust of Abram." The man whispers, and at the same time a giant gust of wind blows through the building- as  his spear is now poking the center of the Head Commander's chest.... and, looking behind Prósopsi who's hair is still flailing in the wind- his- his soul is floating in the air...?

"Ohhhhhhhhh- OHHHHHHH FATHER, FATHER I LOVE YOU- YOU'RE FUCKING GLORIOUS STRENGTH KNOWS NO BOUNDS!~" The man cries out as with teary eyes as he pants tiredly and bites his lower lip, and lowers his hand to his armored crotch at the same time... he's... there's no way... even he lost...?

But, Prósopsi's confused soul is still floating in the air while his body stands tall on the ground. Aora isn't moving an inch either as she stands completely still with her hand right next to her chest...

Then suddenly the monster recovers and gets ready to thrust his spear into the Head Commander's soul- until suddenly a white handprint appears on his see through soul's back.

*FWOOSH!*

With flailing arms Pròsopsi's soul gets sucked back into his body before it can get pierced- which causes the monsters jaw to drop all the way down with the widest eyes I've ever and for him to freeze in place.

"DAMN YOU APHRODIT-"

*POW- BOOOOOOM!!*

Prósopsi slams his fist into the savage's side, cracking at least half of his red and black armor as he's sent flying into the cafeteria wall- which also completely shatters as well from the speed of the impact. Even then the monster continues to fly and crash over the miles of gray rock surrounding the prison...

"Jeez... thanks." Head Commander Prósopsi says with wide open eyes... huh, to who...?

"Clear 200." He says as he turns to the broken wall and stares outside for a second.

Right after he slowly raises his arm up and stretches out his palm, facing it towards the ground as he does the motion.

"...It's time for rain fire." He calls out calmly as he swings his palm down- and at the same time a bunch of thick glowing white clouds fill the air above a huge chunk of the land ahead of us. Then instantly hundreds- no millions of giant drops made of fire rain down from the sky onto the ground in a huge are- that bastard must be in that range!...

My eyes open a bit wide as I can hear and see the miles of gray rock starting to actually get incinerated and melt as the air around us even here gets really hot. But then, out of nowhere a ginormous human white skinned hand splashes up from the red hot rock that's probably bigger than the entire prison- and smashes straight through Prósopsi's clouds...?!

Though the Head Commander doesn't hesitate to pull back his arm and get ready to attack probably- but for some reason he stops and lowers his arm as the hand falls back down into the earth...

"N-no... g-get... him" I try to cry out since that hand might have saved tha monster, but I can only whisper...

*THUMP!*

Aora then faceplants down to the floor with her eyes finally closing, with her blood mixing with the blood of the bodies next to hers... why... why are those two so strong... why, are THEY trying to make me feel bad?!?! HUH?!

"Karia... why... our parents, our families.. why... WHY- we'll never see them again, forever... you traitor... you sat there AND WATCHED US DIE!" I start to hear people start whispering to me, and a second later the bodies on the floor start to float in the air and close in around me.

"Karia... Karia... I thought you loved me, I'm- I'm trapped..." I hear Sariel's voice start to call out from above me- until he floats down right above me face...

"Sariel- n-no-no I do but-"

"NO YOU DON'T- IF YOU LOVED ME YOU WOULD HAVE FIXED YOURSELF AFTER THIS! YOU WOULDN'T HAVE BETRAYED THE ARMY I LOVED, YOU WOULDN'T HAVE FREED A HORRIBLE CRIMINAL! YOU WOULD HAVE FREED MY SOUL FROM YOUR DISGUSTING BODY!!! GET ME OUT OF HERE, JUST END YOUR LIFE ALREADY!!!! END IT- FREE US BOTH, YOU MONSTER!!!" He starts to hiss and scream into my face as he grabs my sides and digs his fingers into them-

"I'M S-S-SORRY I'M TRYING!!!" I cry out, but it doesn't stop the other souls from flying down towards my face either as they all start to tear at my skin-

***

"AHHHHHHHHHAHAHAAAA!!!!" I squeal as I open my eyes and swing my chest up so I'm not lying down anymore.

"W.H.O.A.! Quite the dream you must've been having there pal #2, but alas like all dreams it was a measly illusion so you have nothing to fear! Ah- firstly I suppose I should apologize for my awesome K.O. on you back there..." I hear a concerned voice call out from next to me as I open my teary eyes, and can see... King Metallica sitting next to me on the library's floor on his knees, with Amandeath and... Seric standing behind him.

"Ah... Ah... d-d-damn I-" I try to say, but before I can finish I shove my face into my hands and start to bawl my eyes out as that bastard King Metallica raises his arms up as he looks shocked my my reaction...

"It's ok- I found that soul taking monster, thank God he's still alive I'll be the one to kill him today! Yeah! Yeah..." I try to comfort myself to stop myself from looking weak, but, the tears keep flowing from my eyes anyways as I already start to heave...

A/N: With an intense conclusion, Karia's flashback ends- though it seems to have only made things worse for her. Will she be able to take down the monster two years later who seemed to be stronger than a Commander?

Also just curious- any of you guys remember what chapter the scene of Karia losing to the armored man was foreshadowed in in the past? I'll be impressed and surprised if anyone can lol, as I changed up the scene a bit in this chapter too.

Anyways I hope you guys consider voting or commenting if you enjoyed, and see you next week!
