Chapter 20 - Chapter 20: The Retaliation

An day or so later Destiny decorated her new and massive bedroom. Some female guards dressed in silk red and black robes stood outside of two large tall doors. The guards women had staffs in their hands with guns to their sides. The two were charged with protecting Destiny with their lives. If they failed Fafir would decapitate them. Speaking of Fafir the old god wore a matching red and black robe. His long gray hair was in a ponytail and his beard was well kept. Fafir had a glass of wine in his hand. He knocked on Destiny's bedroom door waiting for an answer. "Destiny my daughter. I hope you are adjusting properly. Are you decent?" Fafir asked. Destiny opened the door and allowed her father in for a chat.

"Ah. Father welcome to my humble abode hehe. How'd you know red and black were my favorite colors?" Destiny asked. Fafir drunk his whine and hugged his little daughter with such a gentle amount of force Destiny almost fell asleep. "I know you all too well my little snowball. In fact you remind me too much of Nea. Both of you are so small. Its adorable. Anyway I wanted you to try to get along with Vu Rachel. I know your power far exceeds hers,but I'd like you to respect her. She is your mother-in-law."

Fafir said petting his daughters white hair. Just then Vu Rachel walked in she hugged Fafir and kissed his cheek. She smirked at Destiny who wasn't all to pleased to see her. Vu Rachel instead placed a hand on her head and ruffled her long white hair. Destiny puffed her cheeks and folded her arms and turned away from her father and mother-in-law. "Destiny remember what we talked about. Get along with Vu please. And Vu Rachel...dear if you value your life it's best not to anger my daughter.

Also please make a attempt to get along with her. She is here after all cause she's the rightful heir to my throne."The Beast God said kissing Destiny on her cheek. Vu Rachel gets up and leaves Destiny's room. She looks back and admits she's a little curious. "Hmm..I wonder my lord how strong is this girl. Hmm could me and her train in the sparring room?" Vu Rachel asked. Fafir looks at Vu Rachel in astonishment he chuckles and stands up. He towers over his small family members and swipes them both up at once. "Destiny I too am curious on how strong you are. What say you? Would you like to practice and spar with Vu Rachel?" Fafir asked.

She nods and agrees. The trio make their way to the sparring room. Twelve guards already are at the sparring arena. Fafir gently places them down and ordered the guards to raise a large barrier. Destiny has no idea why the barrier was needed. Unfortunately for her without warning Vu Rachel attacked using two small curved daggers. They hit Destiny but she didn't move or even flinch. Not surprised Vu Rachel stepped back and tries attacking in different directions. Destiny managed to dodge Vu Rachel's attack until she was kicked in the gut and tossed to the ground. Destiny tried blocking but her defense was easily broken. Vu Rachel started to attack with her legs. Destiny took multiple hits that soon followed up with an final strong kick knocking the girl off her feet. Fafir watched and said nothing. Of course Vu Rachel picked Destiny up by her hair she threw her back to the ground once again then jumped up into the air preparing an stomp attack. Destiny fortunately zipped backward at an insane speed. She just used one hit and connected with Vu Rachel's gut. This stunned the woman.

The power in that one hit made her cough up blood. Destiny quickly stopped and rushed to Vu Rachel's aid. She quickly placed an hand on Vu's stomach and heals the damaged area. After that the guards and Fafir were amaze by Destiny. Of course Fafir played it off and hoped for more out of his daughter. Destiny smiled she lent her hand to Vu Rachel who took the advantage to flip Destiny over her shoulder. She did so but Destiny landed on her feet and threw her into the floor with so much force all the sand that surrounded them became two massive walls. Fafir was surprised and smiled. Vu Rachel was in pain and regretted trying to tussle with the daughter of two gods.

"I..I..w..wow what..what was that power just now? There is no way in Hexus or Nius your that strong? I'm more impressed with the fact I'm still alive and well.. standing." Vu Rachel says slowing standing up she struggles to keep her balance but falls face first into the sand and gives up. Destiny helps her up and does some stretches. She looks towards her father and gestures with her hand to bring it on. Fafir takes this as a challenge. He smiled while an immense red aura formed it surrounded the barrier. The Beast God teleported to the arena, the sand walls fell flat in the ground. Already in no time at all Destiny was already in the air gasping for her breath. Fafir followed up and grabbed her by the collar and slammed her into the ground. Destiny easily reversed the attack and used her father as an meatshield they both collided with the sand. An crater formed around the two. Both were unscathed. Vu Rachel stumbled away and requested some medical attention. The guards took her to the infirmary. The rest of the guards stayed and watched in disbelief.

Their god had an large smile on his face. Destiny also seemed to enjoy herself. The bout between these two deities was coming close to an end. Fafir went for an spinning leg kick. Destiny didn't have to dodge due to her small height. She overpowered her father but grabbing his ankle and lower leg. She effortlessly threw the much larger man with all her might. A small shockwave emitted. It broke the sound barrier. This caused the guard's hearing to leave them for five seconds. Fafir's massive body made a loud thump. He quickly rose from the damaged rubble and wiped the dirt from his forehead. Destiny flew to her father and offered an hand to show she's a good sport.

"Just as I expected. You will be the one to surpass me. One day I hope to be honored by multiple generations in the future,however my daughter. You must be the first to produce an grandchild for the great Fafir clan. Do not worry though I will not force you. It's all in due time but now. There is room for improvement. Hmm were do we start?" Fafir says he wipes the rest of the rubble and dirt off his shoulders. The old god kneels to his daughter's height and hugs her.

Meanwhile back at the Hidden Realm chaos and arguments have formed mostly at Umi for being so careless on placing the portal for the realm.

"You frickin idiot!!! I understand it was for Luna to get home but what on earth would make you think it was an good idea to LEAVE IT FUCKIN THERE!!!" Skyra yelled. She and was furious and noticed her head got detached from how upset she was Luna and Azou calmed her down. The others bandaged their wounds and cleaned up the debris from the fallen palace. Gala used her strength to help her adoptive great grandparents and her great aunt Jaxl put the remaining crumpling walls back together. Umi healed Elena and Nea. Psion who was Nea's son helped heal those who were injured. The rest of the palace were magically put back together by Umi herself she looked very sad and apologized countless times to everyone of the inhabitants of her realm. Her wife Elena hugged and accepted her apology.

Luna stood next to her father and search for Destiny. There was no sign of her. She was angry and wanted to get Fafir back. This time her anger was different. It shook the massive empty white realm. Small tremors formed. Everyone stopped and looked at an angered Luna. Skyra rushed to her daughter. She tried to calm her down but failed,instead she was shook off with ease and flunged into her father. An blinding blue aura formed. Luna transformed into her Blue Aether state. Her eyes glowed a blazing orange. She balled up her fist and hit the ground causing it to crack. Everyone else was cautious of her anger,all except Gala and Silvia. Both hugged her and didn't let go. Luna took a few deep breaths and unballed her fists. She looked up at the blank white sky and promised revenge against Fafir.

Without any delay Luna rushed off in an hurry. The others were too slow to reach her. They did see her leave the portal though. Skyra was about to leave but Zuma put a hand up motioning they all including her should stay. "She will learn better this way. If there is any sort of teacher in life. It's experience. Have faith in our daughter. We will all have our day. Nea's propechy is coming to fruition." Zuma said wisely. Skyra and everyone else was taken aback by how calm the Death God was. They nodded their heads in unison. Umi placed up an large screen for all to see. It showed Luna zipping towards the Red Palace. She moved so fast the image on the massive screen glitched in and out. She made it unscathed. Some door guards noticed an blue light rapidly approach them. In a flash an loud crash was heard. Alarms start to blare. All of the guards rushed to the main hall. Luna broke through the black steel doors and was outnumbered.

"Should we alert Lord Fafir? It would seem that our most hated adversary is finally here." One soldier said to another. General Vella pushed her way through the massive throng of guards this is the first she sees Luna. Immediately she was afriad and practically pissing her pants.

"So..Fafir needs some generals to do his bidding now huh?" Luna asked. One step made Vella fall to the ground and scamper away in fear. The other guards charged at her. They attacked at once. Luna brushed them aside as if they were flies. Holes formed in walls,bones were now broken and screams of pain were heard. An guard warned Vu Rachel about Luna's affront. Vu Rachel informed Destiny and Fafir. The Beast God was angered and demanded Vu Rachel take care of Luna immediately. Fafir ordered. Vu Rachel reluctantly did as her husband demanded. She was still healing from the previous sparring match she had with Destiny.

Each step Vu Rachel took led to a elevator,meanwhile back on the first floor Luna was cleaning house. All but three hundred guards were swept aside. In the Hidden Realm all her family and friends cheered. Luna made her way to the elevator of the second floor she punched a hole into the elevator doors. Once she reeled her fist back Vu Rachel was knocked out cold.

Luna grabbed the unconscious woman and demanded she tell her were Fafir was. Unfortunately for Luna the elevator was set to explode. She heard a small ticking sound. With no delay Luna punch another hole into the wall. She forced a way out and carried Vu Rachel in tow. The elevator exploded. Luna rushed to the highest floor she bursted through and tossed Vu Rachel to the floor in front of a shocked Destiny and an emotionless Fafir.

"Well well well. Dear Luna angry are we Hmm? What brings you here?" The Beast God chuckled almost as if he mocked Luna. Destiny was in awe of her friend's power. She was torn on what to do. Defend her father or stay out of the way. Luna slowly got closer and closer. Fafir also was itching to fight. More guards bursted in the throne room to protect Fafir. They held spears and fired their guns. Luna didn't bother to dodge instead she slapped them all aside. They were weak compared to her. Fafir was not amused he was about to strike.

Instead Destiny stood in between her much larger father and stopped him from charging.

Luna stopped and wonder why the white haired girl defended her father. "S..stop this right now Luna!! Look..I know your mad ok. Papa ambushed us yes,but he hasn't really done any wrong. Please your causing more damage than needed." Destiny said helplessly. She hugged her father. Fafir said nothing he only promised himself he'd fire a massive attack at Luna if she stepped an few inches forward. He charged a black ball of his evil energy. So much power was in this ball that the atmosphere changed. Luna took one more step and Fafir blinded by his own fear of this adversary launched the black ball.

Destiny unfortunately was in the way. It was almost as if everything were in slow motion. Luna holding her arm's iger face and Fafir's sudden wxpressuon changed from mild satisfaction to horror.

Luna blocked the attack and was thrown off her feet she hit a red pillar back first. An scream so loud was heard. It was blood curdling. What happened next once Luna rose her head and the smoke disappeared Fafir was on his knees. Blood was on his hands. He held his now gravely wounded daughter. He checked for an pulse but there was none. There the Beast God shed tears. He angrily looked up at Luna and moved at such an speed that not even Luna in her Blue Aether state could register. The Beast God was so engulfed in rage he was about the kill Luna then and there. Due to her quick thinking. A swift kick to the groin incapacitated the deity. He howled with pain. Luna scampered away and flew through an hole she bursted in the roof. Luna smiled for a bit flying home. It was a bittersweet victory yes: but it had to be an example somehow some way. She returned with dirt, minor scratches and scars. She told the news to her family and friends that Destiny has died. The girl went back to her regular state and fell to her knees and wept. The rest of Luna's family consoled her.

In the Red Palace Fafir ordered his daughter to be buried and dressed for the customs only fitting him the best. Vu Rachel and the remaining guards mourn the lost of Destiny. Fafir was angry and threw his throne and various painting across the room. They feared their god's wrath. Later that same day Destiny's body was placed in a red and gold casket. Vu Rachel went to comfort her husband. His anger receded but it was not gone. He blamed his actions on himself in secret. Outwardly he blamed Luna. For the rest of the week Fafir did nothing but train whether it be mentally or physically all that was on his mind was killing Luna and getting his revenge.
