"THE WINNER!!!" Max continued, "BY SURVIVING!!!!!!"
Bahrny continued his charge, now floating above the rubble, pulling his sword over his head.
"IS SKY!!!!!!!" He shouted into the mic.
BOOOOOM!!!!! The rubble flew everywhere, breaking and damaging even more parts of the arena. Standing, next to Sky's blood covered body, was Atlas. His body, almost the size of a small giant, with large, dense muscles covering every part of it. His skin was a deep purple, glowing with dozens of stars and galaxies that swirled with energy. On his wrists and ankles were golden broken handcuffs and anklets with the only piece of cloth on his body being gray torn shorts. He had lost his hair and now stood tall, with a swirling galaxy on his skin where his hair should be and his silver eyes, now as bright as stars.
"It's over!" His voice sounded ethereal.
In his hands he tightly held Bahrny's blade, as he did golden lines could be seen flowing to his fingers.
Bahrny struggled to move the blade, twisting his body, pulling back, doing everything to break free from Atlas' grasp yet the blade was frozen, as if the time around it had stopped. Once again he saw a bright flash from atop the hill in the distance. He let go of the blade and enveloped himself in a coat of black mist disappearing along with it.
Atlas bent over and wrapped his arms around Sky's waist, lifting him up and heaving him onto his shoulder. He looked to where he'd been sitting, seeing Kronos lower his head and Prometheus give a deep bow. He nodded back before turning around, allowing the scenery around him to warp, twist and shift as he suddenly appeared before the others atop the hill.
"Pops?" Rune asked.
"Father, why have you assumed your true form?" Asked Nova.
WHAM!!! He grabbed Bahrny's punch without looking. "We need to leave now!" Atlas ordered, flicking his wrist and sending Bahrny's body flying backwards, back towards the arena.
"Yes, in just a moment, Neutra just took the last of the prisoners back, when she returns we'll leave." Nebula explained.
Atlas looked around seeing that someone was missing. "Where's Elsa?" He asked.
"She utterly and completely lost to Carla." Nebula continued.
Atlas stared at him. "She won't like that, though it might motivate her to train some more." He smiled.
Bahrny reappeared, covered in blood, still launching an attack. This time Atlas let him punch, but when the impact happened the punch was still inches away from Atlas' skin. Bahrny struggled to drive it in further but couldn't as if he had hit an invisible wall, barely able to even move it, his body suddenly started becoming heavy. In a matter of moments he was on the ground, blood trickling down his nose as he struggled to push himself up.
Atlas handed Sky over to Nebula, "Hold him until we get back." Atlas said, turning around to face Bahrny.
Atlas let the pressure off, allowing him to stand up. Immediately he charged. With a sigh Atlas stepped to the side and tightly clenched his fist, allowing a glow to start before driving it into Bahrny's stomach, sending him flying upwards. Atlas crouched, once again tightening his fist. This time allowing it to glow as the golden lines to it got brighter and brighter. Soon the stars and galaxies on his arm slowly drifted towards his fist until they had all disappeared into it. He then leapt up, catching up to Bahrny in a heartbeat.
"Divine art: Fifth Form: Celestial Fist!" He shouted as he drove the golden fist downwards into Bahrny's back.
KABOOOOOOMM!!!!! Bahrny's body immediately slammed into the ground, creating a multi-layered crater and destroying half of the hill they stood on.
"Couldn't you have sent him to a location where he couldn't hurt people?" Rune asked after Atlas landed.
"I needed him to hit enough ground so that he doesn't get back up." Atlas said as he shifted back into his usual form, the jester outfit.
With a flash, Neutra appeared with the wagon, almost falling off the now half dented hill.
"Woah…" She said, "Evacuation is completely done, Lea's handling the settlement of them now."
"Good…" Atlas said, "Return the wagon and we'll be off."
In a flash Neutra was gone.
"What do you plan on doing with him?" Rune asked, tilting his head towards Sky.
Atlas stared at him for a moment before taking a long, efforted breath in. "I don't plan on doing anything with him…" Atlas finally said, "He's free to choose how he wants to live."
"Has anything major happened?" Atlas asked.
"Surprisingly, a lot can happen in four years you know…" Rune said, "If only you'd waited…"
Atlas reached inside his hat and started scratching his head annoyingly. "I know, I know." He said.
He made a silly face. "If only I'd waited for you and Silk then I wouldn't have had to stay frozen in the Nightmare Woods for four years." He said in Rune's voice.
Suddenly Rune walked up to Atlas and grabbed his ear. "Are you making fun of me?" He said angrily as he pulled his ear down.
"Owowowowowowow!!" Atlas tensed in pain.
"DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY TIMES I'VE HAD TO PLAN TO ACCOUNT FOR YOUR RECKLESSNESS!!!" He started shouting.
Nebula sighed, grabbing Rune and pulling him away from Atlas. "We know, we know." He said gently..
"LET ME AT HIM!!" Rune shouted.
Nova slid behind Atlas while he was still rubbing his ear. THWAK!! He karate chopped the back of his head.
"WHAT WAS THAT FOR?!?!?!" Atlas shouted.
Nova stood silently.
"SAY SOMETHING!!!!" Atlas shouted again.
"I felt like it…" Nova said quietly.
"CAUSE YOU FELT LIKE IT!!!!!" Atlas continued to shout.
A bright flash of light appeared once more, followed by Neutra. "Alright lets-" She cut herself off, grabbing her forehead as she watched the chaos unfolding before her.
"I leave for thirty seconds and this happens…" She murmured.
Very quickly, the arguing died down as the four of them turned and stood facing Atlas, waiting. Atlas looked at them and smiled. "Boys and girls… we're going home!" A giant smile erupted on the faces of the others as he said it. The four of them each placed a hand on Neutra's shoulder and with a blink, they disappeared.
