Alastor levitated upwards and placed one of his hands behind his back. He smirked at me then his eyes shined. "It is time...Time for you to show me just how much you love this planet."
He flew to me at high speeds and summoned a claymore. He slashed at me and I blocked the attack. He rushed me with a flurry of slashes, but I managed to hold my own against his flurry of attacks. I jumped backwards and floating energy swords appeared behind me and I shot them at Alastor. He prepared to block them, but I caused them to explode. He grunted as he was blinded by the smoke. I appeared behind him and kicked him to the platform. He grunted and recovered then looked up.
"Heh, you have more tricks up your sleeve than one would've guessed.." Alastor smirked. "Well so do I.."
Alastor turned invisible and I watched my surroundings. I closed my eyes and tapped into my Mushin Form with my True Form. I began to dodge his attack as he tried to strike me while he was invisible. I elbowed his chest and he groaned, turning visible again. I opened my eyes and kicked him away.
I flew to him and sliced him with a flurry of attacks then blasted him down with a large energy ball. He yelled and crashed down onto the platform then an explosion happened. I flew higher in the air and held my hand in the air. Alastor appeared behind me and grabbed one of my wings. I grunted as he spun me around then threw me to the platform at high speeds. I groaned as I crashed into the platform.
Alastor held his hand in the air then a massive dark ball of energy appeared above his hand. "This is the end for you!" He laughed then threw the dark ball of energy at me.
I watched it then warped reality, switching our positions. Alastor looked surprised and groaned loudly as he was hit by the attack then caught in the explosion. I looked down and sensed no movements. I descended back down to the platform. I noticed the platform cracking and it shattered. I grunted and used my wings to fly then noticed reality warping around me. We appeared back at the castle and Alastor stood up with a soft laugh.
Alastor stood on his feet and laughed. "I'll admit...you are powerful, but this battle is far from over!" He teleported away.
I teleported after him and noticed him in the sky and noticed everyone else watching Alastor. Alastor held his arms out and smiled.
"Come! Soul Heart!" Alastor bellowed and the sky began to turn orangish yellow and a massive Orb of Soul Energy appeared in the sky. "The Soul Heart. Home of every soul...you should be honored at the fact that I'm using this!"
I looked at Alastor and heard Shira and the others scream as their souls were taken from their bodies.
"No...He captured their souls from the entire PLANET! It's literally only you and him technically alive now!" Elysia said.
"Alive..?" I asked and my heart thumped when I looked down and noticed Shira laying on the ground. I flew down to her and held her body up. I looked at Mom and Hecate too, using my aura to sense them. They had no life force in their bodies. I looked at Shira and a flashback pop into my head.
"Heh...Now do you feel it? Do you feel the weight on your shoulders now on how important this is?! Once the Soul Heart is completed...There would be no one who can stop me!" Alastor laughed.
My hands shook as I held Shira in my arms. I lost Fujo and Shira again. I lost everyone again. There was no sadness in me...only rage. I set Shira's body down on the ground then stood up.
Alastor watched me and noticed lightning crackling around my left hand. I began breathing heavier, my blood boiling and my body seeping with rage. I grunted then yelled and my aura surged wildly and powerfully around my body. He grunted at the power of my aura. He held his hand out to me and tried to shoot me with an energy beam, but the beam deflected off my body.
"What..?" He asked in shock.
I summoned the Medallions and fused them in my body. My aura began to shine rainbow colors and Alastor noticed the image of the first True Hero within me. "Now...you die Alastor.."
Alastor looked at me and smirked. He boosted himself up with the power of the Soul Heart. He laughed and his black aura surged powerfully then he flew to me. I was at my 100%, there was nothing stopping me. I snapped my fingers and time stopped. I looked at Alastor then flew up to him and punched his stomach with the desire to kill. Time resumed and Alastor coughed blood then flew up in the sky.
I vanished and appeared above him. He sensed me and turned around with a powerful kick, but noticed I was gone. I appeared behind him struck his back and roared. He groaned and I vanished then began to strike his body quickly and began to rush him with attacks from all directions of his body. I kicked him to the ground and flew high in the air and roared then summoned thousands of energy orbs then shot them at Alastor.
He looked up at the sky and laughed then warped reality and I appeared in the Void Dimension. I looked around then noticed a horde of Shadow Beings around me. They rushed at me and I began to strike them down one by one.
"Shiryo!" Elysia called out to me.
I looked behind me and summoned a energy sword to slice the Shadow Being in half.
Alastor grunted as a soul emerged from the Soul Heart. "What the?!"
Shira opened her eyes and she was warped to the Void Dimension and yelled as she sliced multiple Shadow Beings in half. I looked surprised as I noticed Shira.
"What's going on?!" Alastor yelled as he noticed the souls leaving the Soul Heart and returning to their bodies.
Mom and the others opened their eyes.
"I won't let you win.." Alethea said and a bright light shined in the sky. Everyone looked in the sky as they heard the voice of Alethea.
"Alethea.." Mom said in shock.
"You think you can stop me?!" Alastor roared then absorbed the Soul Heart and super powered his body.
"Tch! He absorbed the Soul Heart!" Ain said.
"Awaken!" Alastor bellowed and a bright light shined at the castle.
"No! The Banished!" Elysia yelled.
Shira and I kept fighting the Shadow Beings and finally finished off the final wave. I held Shira's hand then used the Dark Medallion to warp us out of the Void Dimension. Alastor looked back and smirked.
"Shiryo! You have to stop him!" Elysia yelled.
I flew up to Alastor and he kicked me away and blasted me with a massive energy beam. I grunted and groaned as I was being shot in the air. My Sword of Elysium shined brightly and my aura sparkled. My halo shined and I bellowed as my wings dispersed into magic particles.
"Shiryo!" Mom called out and tired to rush up there to help, but Hecate stopped her.
"If you go up there, you'll die!" Hecate yelled.
I grunted and my wings reappeared then I pushed my way through the beam. An explosion happened and Alastor smirked. He looked surprised as I emerged from the smoke and I bellowed. The Six Medallions shined brightly and began to crack. I roared and slashed downward at Alastor and sliced his body. His body shined brightly and he yelled in pain as the power of the Sword of Elysium was enough to kill him.
"No! NO! I WILL NOT DIE YET! I REFUSE!" Alastor yelled and flew to the sky. "Say goodbye to your entire Universe with this one attack, Final Soul Ray!" He yelled and fired a massive beam at me.
I glared and roared. I fired my own massive beam at his and it collided. We entered a beam struggle and Alastor began to win the struggle. The Souls of the Old Guardians appeared behind me and entered my body, boosting my power even further. My beam began to overpower Alastor's and hit him. He bellowed and fired an even stronger beam to overpower mine. I grunted and souls of Grandma and Grandpa appeared behind me.
Mom and Shira looked surprised and Grandpa and Grandma looked back at them and smiled then entered my body.
I roared and my attack began to grow even stronger. Alastor grunted and growled then roared as he tried to push back but couldn't. My beam struck him again and I roared as my attack struck his entire body. My beam disappeared slowly and Alastor was shown panting. He groaned as the souls exited his body and went back to the original owners.
Alastor smirked and closed his eyes. "Heh...I'll admit...You're powerful, but to think this is over."
"It looks pretty over to me! You're finished! You have no souls left. You're nothing but a powerless deity." I said.
Alastor chuckled and looked at me. "Yes I am powerless now, but how powerless am I really? I can not truly be beaten. Now when my plan was a success.."
"What?" I asked.
"I knew you were going to beat me-"
"You literally didn't-"
"CAN I FINISH?!" Alastor yelled.
I looked at Alastor and let him speak.
"I knew I was going to lose the moment The Grand Deities made their presence known. It was inevitable...but this...this is the Age of Ruin! This is the Era of Earth's END!" Alastor laughed.
"What are you babbling on about?" I asked.
Alastor's eyes shined red. He smiled a wicked smile and it was unsettling to all of us even the Grand Deities and Elysia. "They are alive.."
Four beings appeared behind Alastor. All four of them wore a single black leather hooded coat which is adorned with a silver zipper and silver beaded pull strings for the hood.
"Tehom, Achluo, Demise, and Eclipse! The Four LEGENDARY Banished Legends!" Alastor laughed.
Tehom had long silver hair and golden eyes with tanned skin. He was the oldest one out of all of the Banished. He also had scars along his face and one full smooth black horns and one chipped and broken horn. He bore the Crest of Niflheim on his chest.
Demise had long, frayed black hair with red eyes and an X scar on the middle of his face. He wore studded earrings on his left ear and was bearing the Crest of Wrath on his left hand. He was Tehom's right hand man.
Achluo was a man with pointed ears, silver eyes and silver hair. In his past he possessed golden eyes as he is a creation of Tehom along with his dead sister. He bore the Crest of Dark Abyss on his right shoulder.
Eclipse was a woman with dark purple hair that reached down to her lower back. She had blue eyes and her Crest of Eclipse on her forehead. She was the youngest one of the four and seemed more...absent minded.
"This is the end, Guardian of Elysium!" Alastor laughed and grunted as he was stabbed. Blood came from his mouth and he looked back with a surprised look on his face.
"We've been trapped in our seals for too long...We have no desire to be controlled by anyone." Tehom said then pushed Alastor off his sword.
The End Crests of Nostradamus, Armageddon, and Final Judgement shattered. As Alastor fell to his doom, Demise blasted his body with an energy blast, disintegrating his body.
I looked at Tehom and the others then grunted as the Medallions exited my body. I coughed and held my arms. Tehom made the Medallions float to him and he smirked at me.
"Well hello, reincarnation of the Hero of Beginning and Guardian of Elysium. For many years...I have been sealed away but now we are free and we have only you heros to thank. If you all hadn't helped around the World we would've never been unsealed." Tehom smirked.
"It's you! I'll strike you down right here right now!" I bellowed and flew to Tehom.
"Shiryo wait!" Elysia yelled.
I stopped and looked at my Crest of Elysium. "Why?! He's within my grasp!"
"Look at the Medallions." Elysia said.
I looked at the Medallions and noticed they were void of all of their color. They were corrupted and I heard the Guardians groaning in pain. The sky began to be filled with darkness.
"This is the end...The End of your Universe. Organization Khaos shall destroy my dear sister for banishing me. I shall become the new Ruler...Unlike Alastor...I can truly become Eternity. Unfortunately my power hasn't recovered enough to take her down. If you wish to live I suggest you leave this planet. The Sacred Guardians are dead and that means Earth will die along with them." Tehom said then turned around. "Our Reign of Ruin starts now..."
Tehom laughed and teleported away with the other three. I watched as the nature on earth began dying at a rapid pace. I balled my fists and looked at Shira and the others.
"Alright everyone! Follow me!" I yelled. I used my Crest of Scientipotence to build and craft a rocket out of literally nothing. After finishing the rocketship, I allowed everyone to get on and the rocket took off. I looked at the dying Earth and closed my eyes.
"We couldn't have possibly foreseen this outcome. If only we knew he was creating the Soul Heart, we would've warned you but he was an opponent we had no idea about and now we are fighting four beings only Elysia knows about." Alethea said.
"I failed. We didn't save Earth...we started a new Era. We started the Age of Ruin for the entire Universe and now we are fighting people that I don't know if I can even beat at this point." I said.
Mom and Shira listened to me and looked at each other. Hecate looked down and closed her eyes. Esta and Freya looked at me sadly. Gideon had a disappointed look on his face. Mika's ears folded backwards and she looked sad.
"We can save Earth right? We can revive it right? You have the souls of the Original Guardians, I saw them." Serafina said.
"I do, but that would mean I have to find the Medallions and power them up. The Twili Medallion wasn't there as well, so that means we will be one down." I said.
The war we fought was long and hard, but in the end we lost a major battle that would turn the tides of the war, we lost a battle that could've saved the universe. I lost a battle I knew I could win. Now we have to retreat from the dying planet to who knows where.
