Siran recalls a time he spent talking with Gaia. During the time he spent alone after defeating Naris the first time, before he met Angela's daughter Lily, his mind was pulled into Valhalla again.
"So why did Naris hate humans so much?" Siran asks.
"Because" Gaia says, "he believes that humans are what's wrong with the universe. He doesn't see the point of creating something without the intention of ruling over it. Due to that, he also believes the gods' choice to leave the human realm in the hands of humans was a bad decision. What he wants is to reclaim a realm that isn't even his. To do so, he planned on destroying everything that is currently living and recreate the world".
"Isn't that a little... too much?" Siran asks.
"When you believe you're in a position to where your actions don't have consequences" Gaia says, "most tend to choose the most of rash decisions. Some believe it's a cry for attention, others believe this happens because someone just wants to see how far they can go. Test their boundaries, in a way, before someone tries to step in".
"Then he's short minded?" Siran asks in disappointment.
"Most living things are short minded" Gaia responds. "This includes you and the rest of humanity".
"Do I even count as human anymore?" Siran asks.
"Being human is about more than appearances" Gaia says. "This is why I say you and the rest of humanity are short minded. Your heart still holds the strength of humanity. Whether or not you believe in that power is your choice to make, but remember, you represent what it means to be human".
As Siran prepares to fight Predator in this final battle in Omnia, Siran sheds his human appearance and shows his beastly form again. Siran reaches back under his jacket and pulls out that dark blue hat Zia returned to him. As Siran's eyes glow a bright and shining red, he smiles. "So if you're really Naris" he says, "then why are there so many of you?".
"We're merely incomplete" Markwood says.
"Within time" Garreth says.
"We shall be complete" John says.
"Until then" Agatha says.
"We're going to have some fun, Siran" Kyle says.
Siran laughs and says "Fun... yeah, alright".
Predator makes the first move and charges at Siran. Predator prepares a jump kick mixed with powerful distortion magic. However, Siran coats his entire right arm in reactive endo and slips his hand through the distortion with ease. Grabbing Predator's foot, Siran flings him over the crew and shoots at him with his gun. Predator swipes at the beam fired from Siran's gun and deflects it. As Predator recovers and stands on his feet, Siran gently puts his hands on the ground behind himself, with his back to Predator. Channeling magic into the ground. Predator once again charges at Siran, but moves so fast that he seemed to almost teleport. Siran uses the illusion skill, shadow step, and gets behind Predator. Siran trips Predator and he falls to the ground.
"I wouldn't lay there" Siran says.
Predator looks up at Siran, but suddenly rocks form around Predator and entangle him. Tying Predator to the ground, Siran prepares a reactive endo spell in his hands. The rest of the crew prepares reactive endo as well, and they all throw it at the same time. All of the spells hit the ground with an intense impact, causing rock and dust to fly into the air from an explosion. However, as mangled as the Predator was, when the dust cleared he still stood.
"Damn that thing is sturdy" Vivi says.
Predator makes a shrieking noise as spikes shoot up from the ground at Siran. Siran throws the same spell at Predator and the two spells collide. Predator then throws a fire spell at Siran that turns into a wall of flames. Siran does the same, once again, the two spells collide. Spell after spell, Siran kept matching Predator's power.
Suddenly, shouting could be heard as Ruby picked up Demetri over her head. "No!" Demetri yells, "Do not throw the Russian!".
"Shh!" Ruby says, "keep it down and stick with the plan!".
As Demetri is thrown at Predator, he yells "I don't like this plan!". Demetri flies at Predator with something in his hands. When Demetri comes close to Predator, he tries to grab him. Predator punches Demetri in the face as Demetri grabs him. As Predator looks down, he notices something on his chest. A pack of plastic explosives.
"Zia! Now!" Demetri yells.
Zia jumps at Predator and sends him flying away from the crew with a powerful wind spell. Demetri pushes a button and the explosives go off. Predator's body bounces across the ground and stops. After a short second of waiting, Predator stands back up. However, Predator's movements have slowed down significantly. The robot couldn't seem to move properly anymore. Just as it looked like Predator was about to charge again, a knife of reactive endo pierces it's chest thrown from Rose. A shockwave goes through Predator's body, destroying most of the endo that powers him up. Predator falls to the ground and doesn't get back up again.
"Anymore of these silly tricks?" Siran asks.
As Markwood slowly walks forward, he says "I thought I told you to play nice".
Suddenly, Blake's group of Hunters pull up in their armored vehicles. Blake runs out, shouting "I'm on a roll! You should've seen what I did to those soldiers!".
"Another one..." Garreth says, sounding disappointed.
Blake charges up towards Markwood and leaps in the air at him. "Come get some!" He yells as he comes down with a sword. But a rock spike shot up from the ground beneath him, and impaled him through the stomach. Blake, left in shock, was suspended in the air by the spike.
"No!" Siran yells. Siran shoots the rock spike with his gun and catches Blake as he falls to the ground.
"I'm done playing with your friends, Siran" Markwood says.
"Somebody, help him!" Siran yells. Blake coughs and blood pours through his stomach. "I'm not letting you die" Siran says, "not like this".
Blake laughs softly and says "There are things that even you can't control. Don't worry, whatever happens... happens". Blake passes out.
Siran checks his pulse and says "He's still alive". Siran gives him a surge of endo to stabilize his body as Siran also tries to stop the bleeding. Siran uses reactive endo on Blake's open wound, and the bleeding slows down heavily.
"Will that keep him alive?" Holly asks.
"I don't know" Siran says.
"I will not be ignored" Markwood says.
Siran looks over his shoulder at Markwood, and then stands up. Siran charges at Markwood and tries to punch him, but Markwood catches Siran's hand and stops him. The force from Siran pushed Markwood backwards, forcing him to dig his feet into the ground. When Markwood finally stops being pushed back, an explosion of wind pushes Siran back. Siran lands on his back, against the ground. As Siran stands back up, Zia charges forward. Agatha stands in the way of Zia, but Zia jumps into her and plants her feet firmly in her chest. Zia uses enough forces to slam Agatha into the ground and make her slide. As Agatha slid on the ground, Zia still stood on top of her, riding her like a skateboard. As Zia skates past the rest of The Mages, Zia uses her clairvoyance magic and shoots each of The Mages once in the chest. Each shot landed perfectly in the center of their chest, and Zia knocked all of them down. As Zia jumps off of Agatha, she yells "Make them spread out! Separate them and fight them at the same time!".
Agatha stands up and prepares to fight Zia. Zia holsters her guns and pulls out her dagger. As Agatha charges at Zia, Zia coats her dagger with reactive endo. Agatha goes for a right hook punch, but Zia dodges it. When Zia dodges, she tries to swipe at Agatha's neck with the blade. Agatha dodges below the dagger and tries to trip Zia, but Zia jumps over Agatha's attack. When Zia lands on the ground again, she chops at Agatha's neck with the side of her hand. This time, Zia landed a hit on her. Caught off guard, Agatha gets hit by a fire bolt spell from Zia. Without much surprise in her eyes, Agatha looks down at the fire. Agatha swipes one hand over the fire and it disappears instantly.
"Cute" Agatha says.
Zia charges at Agatha and goes for a jump kick again.
"The same trick? Really?" Agatha asks. Agatha tried to take a step back but suddenly she trips. Zia has caused a little bit of rock to shoot up from the ground right behind Agatha's feet. As she tripped, Zia pins her body into the ground again. Before Agatha had a chance to get up, rocks shot up from beneath Agatha and sent her flying into the air at just eye level. Zia grabbed Agatha's feet and threw her. Agatha landed on her back and when she hit the ground, Agatha could see Zia's dagger in the air coming down at her. Agatha caught the dagger with her hands. Agatha kicked Zia as she tried to jump onto her again, and knocked Zia onto her back. As Agatha stood up, she raised her right hand into the air. A lightning bolt came down at Zia, but an array of a dozen digital shields appeared over her head. Zia turns to look and sees Holly giving her a thumbs up. All of the shields cracked, but the lightning was deflected by the shields. Instead of striking the ground, the lightning dispersed into several areas of the ground around Zia. Agatha threw Zia's dagger at her, but Zia dodged. The dagger landed in the ground behind Zia. However, Zia got too distracted by the dagger. As Zia looked back at Agatha, a fire bolt spell had already been thrown at her. The spell hit Zia in the chest, and once again sent Zia onto her back. In the air, Agatha could be seen coming down at Zia. Zia rolled backwards to dodge and Agatha barely missed her. When Agatha's fist hit the ground, a giant hole in the ground was formed from the impact alone. Agatha once again held her arm into the air, this time her left, as she charges up another lightning bolt. As Zia rolls backwards, she grabs her dagger again. With one quick motion, Zia jumps onto her feet and swipes at Agatha. The dagger cuts straight through Agatha's shoulder and her left arm falls off. Agatha winced in shock, but didn't seem that bothered by losing her arm. Slowly, rain starts to fall from the sky.
"Are we done struggling yet?" Agatha asks. "I only need one arm to kill you".
"You can come and try it" Zia says.
Agatha raises her right arm and aims it at Zia. A burst of a wind spell and distortion magic blows Zia away. As Zia tumbles and rolls across the ground, Agatha appears behind her. Agatha tries to elbow Zia in the back of the neck, but Zia rolls on her feet. Using the momentum from being thrown back, Zia spins around Agatha's attack and lands a heavy kick on Agatha's stomach. Agatha hit a building and caused the brick wall to crack and nearly cave in. Zia goes in for the kill with her dagger. Zia plunges her dagger at Agatha's face, but was shocked by Agatha's reaction. Agatha opened her mouth and bit down on the dagger, shattering the blade. A wave a shock and anger surged through Zia's mind.
"THAT WAS MY BROTHER'S DAGGER!" Zia yells as she crams her fist through Agatha's mouth. Zia grabbed a broken shard of her dagger that was inside of Agatha's mouth. When Zia got a hold on the broken shard, she jammed it through the roof of her mouth. The shard pierced Agatha's brain and Agatha squirmed and flailed for a few seconds. After that, nothing. Zia pulls her hand out of Agatha's mouth, some of Agatha's teeth stuck in her wrist. Agatha's lifeless body hit the ground with a thud and she never moved again.
As Siran and Markwood were fighting, Markwood noticed the fall of Agatha. Markwood dodges one of Siran's attack and goes over to Agatha's body. Without any sorrow or remorse, Markwood removes all of the endo from Agatha's body and absorbs it into himself. Markwood's eyes grow darker.
"Such a waste" Markwood says. Markwood then feels a shock in his body and he vomits what looked like blood at first. The red substance he vomited quickly dissipated into a black smoke and vanished in the air. Markwood wipes his mouth and looks at Siran. "Shall we continue?" He asks.
Zia looks down at her broken dagger. She sighs to herself and throws the handle with the rest of the broken blade onto the ground. After a short second of silence, Zia joins the fight with Siran and helps him attack Markwood. Markwood dodges several attacks, and with each one, he absorbs another fallen Mages' endo into himself. Stealing the power from everyone that falls on the battlefield, Markwood grows even more powerful. Eventually, Markwood comes across the final Mage that fell. As Garreth fell on the battlefield, Markwood goes to steal his power too.
"Don't let him take his endo!" Siran shouts.
Rock spikes shoot up from the ground beneath Markwood, but he jumps away from Garreth's body. Suddenly, Alex jumps up from behind Markwood and tries to blast him with his gun. Markwood deflects the impact and the force hits Alex instead. As Markwood gets his distance from the crew, he says "I've got a surprise for you!". This time, two Predators jump from rooftops and land in front of the crew.
"I hope you like repetition" Markwood says. "You've kept coming to me with friends, so I figured you might like it". The two Predators stand up and cock their heads at Siran. "I'm taking my Endoindustria back" Markwood says, "and you're not stopping me".
A few minutes ago, as Zia fought Agatha, The Ueda sisters began to fight Jack Tobin. "Try and make this quick" Satomi says to Mikoto, "we have to get back to helping in case anyone needs us".
"Don't worry" Mikoto says, "this will be done in no time".
