Chereads / STRIFE: A Life and Death Tale / Chapter 88 - 88.) The Senkozen Domain.

Chapter 88 - 88.) The Senkozen Domain.

The dummies, the true identity of The Teller, an omen of truth being spread and the reveal that Haydes will come for Shiishii once more. Most people who knew of every event happening would think the omniverse was returning to its savage days of disorder and every being for themselves. Back when beings said to be extinct once fought Stuliathans along with Life and Death's forces in order to stop the Omniverse's collapse. A time where no one knew what the end was nor the beginning. Just a void of black to come at the loss of their existence and a white stream that starts them over. Truly no order to be seen. And thats what its starting to look like once more. Because Life and Death are targets once more in the grand scheme of things. But this is for later… for now, we focus on our brother Shiishii and his arrival back home.

"Another fight with Haydes huh… this'll be the last time brother!" Shiishii says to himself while walking through the gates to Gahwardia. He immediately dashes for the Senkozen keep where he would find Vashjai resting. He had been training with the Triplets and their father. Shiishii knocked on the door to check in on him and update him on the current news.

Vashjai: "Another fight? Are you serious, big bro? Man let me put these headphones down."

Shiishii: "Yeah, seems he still holds a hate for the "control" we have as life and Death. If he were strong enough, he'd go after Gaia too."

Vashjai: "That's bullshit, we were just training with the bastard. That's how you both jumped again in stats. Using that dimension that flows on a different scale of time. I thought that was pretty fucking bliss!"

Shiishii: "As did I, but it really got under his skin to hear me and Hideaki admit there's nothing we can do to stop the deaths that are to come. It's written and I ain't erasing."

Vashjai: "Why won't he understand that it's your JOB!"

Shiishii: "Again… I don't know, but I promised Kishin I would end it here."

Vashjai: "You better."

Shiishii smirks at his little brother then rustles his hair as he rises from the lounge's couch. "I'm going to see father." , he says while exiting the room. Vashjai simply stares at him with a sign of worry. Then puts his headphones back on and lays down.

Shiishii makes it to his father's private quarters in little to no time. Thinking hard on how he would go about dealing with Haydes without fatal casualties. He was so lost in thought that he didn't even notice Fong saying "hi" to him as she stood before him. Of course he ends up bumping into her in the process.

Shiishii: "Whoa there, what's going on little ol' Flametress Jr.?"

Fong: "Bahahaaa… don't call me that! *Point* But I was simply seeing how you were doing. I'm coming back from speaking to Lord MorZick, but uh… are you ok?"

Shiishii: "Uh… yeah. Just something unprecedented is happening all over the place and it's a bit heavy on the mind. Ya know?"

Fong: "Oh, trust me Lord Shii. I get you there."

Shiishii: "Yeah… *Pat* Now are you ok? With your ma being back home and all."

Fong: "Mhm… no. That's what I talked to your father about. It's heavy on my being so I'm going to train. I've gotta clear my head. Good luck though Lord Shii. Join me if you get a chance!" *Step* *Step**step*

Shiishii: "Gotcha Fong, that's a promise! Now then… time to talk to the old man."

Shiishii knocks on his father's door just before stepping in. "Yo dad, it's me!" Shiishii says while waving at his father. MorZick greets him with open arms and pulls him a seat in front of his desk.

MorZick: "How goes it, my son?"

Shiishii: "Not too well pops, not too well. Haydes issued another challenge and I think he truly means to kill me this time."

MorZick: "Mhrm… that's… nrgh, that's very unsettling to hear Shii. Yet another one, aye?"

Shiishii: "Seems so, I've just been thinking about how to go about kicking his ass just harsh enough to get some sense into him. Without needing to walk him to… the other side."

MorZick: "Ah… I see. That's pretty soft of you, Lord Death II." *Grin*

Shiishii: "Aaah, put a sock in it old man. Can't blame me for at least wanting to try."

MorZick: "I'm quite appreciative of it actually. I'd hate to lose any of my children."

Shiishii: "Mhm… and I don't want to lose a single sibling. Good to hear you say that, father."

MorZick: "Ha...HAHAHAHAAA! It's been a while since I heard you say "Father." Quite refreshing indeed you slurring imbecile."

Shiishii: "Aye there! Watch it you big chinned geezer!"

MorZick: "Geezer!? I stopped my aging at 39, you twirp."

Shiishii: "Pfft!"

MorZick: "Pff-PFFT!"

Both: "Bwaaahaaahahaaa!!!"

Both grasp one another as they enjoy a good Huzzah! Afterwards MorZick agreed to help Shii think of a way to successfully avoid killing Haydes. Whilst they plan this, they hear a hard knock at the door. MorZick yells for their granted entrance and Demetrius enters… with an intriguing friend behind him.

Demetrius: "I'd like you to meet KurT-"

MorZick: "KurTaak!"

KurTaak: "MOrZicK!" *SHING*

Shiishii: (Dad's beast form sprouted instantly and the WarTerror extracted his claws just as fast.) "Pops… who is this WarTerror?"

MorZick: "He's a powerful alpha class that I fought ages ago. Nearly lost my life."

Demetrius: "What!?"

Shiishii: "Uh… *he squints with a look of suspicion towards Demetrius* You bringing opps to our quarters, bro?"

Demetrius: "Nah nah nah. KurTaak ain't say shit about this!" *Point*

KurTaak: "Didn't know he was the CHieF!!"

MorZick: "Oh yeah… didn't tell 'em that when we fought. Hahaa!"

They all look at MorZick with contempt. He laughs on as a way to beat the awkwardness of the moment. And though it had passed, MorZick and KurTaak were both still itching to throw down. As a result, a bit of their Zenchi leaked out and caused small clashes to occur. Shiishii and Demetrius had veins bulging from their foreheads as their hair eas constantly blown in their faces. As a result of the twenty… maybe thirty clashes that have occured during their two minute stare down.

Demetrius: "Y'all can calm down now."

Shiishii: "Naw, forreal!"

MorZick: "Hm."

KurTaak: "Ah."

Shiishii: "They… they aren't listening, are they?"

Demetrius: "Nah… not at all."

Shiishii: "... Dirtbags."

As they continue their feud, we take a peek in on an abandoned and destroyed universe. A stream of white filled the void, representing the ashes of the universes that were once there. Within that vast void that was slowly becoming empty of what it once contained. A floating boy could be seen with a big dragon tail that had sprouted and emerald wings on his back. It would seem he was Zoshen, and Atomwn's influence seemed to have disappeared from his appearance and presence.

Zoshen: "N-Nrgh! *Headrub* Gahdamn… my head is ringing! But those heinous wounds I had when I last woke up are all gone. Crazy what this creature within me can do."

(Atomen: "Crazy indeed you brat. Now give me back control!")

Zoshen: "N-no! Cease you constant attempts at my being. This is MY body you son… of a… BITCH!!!"

(Atomen: "Give in… it's my body for now anyway. *Grip* Now sit your consciousness within thw chair and watch.")

Zoshen: "D-Damn you… Ato… men!"

Atoshen: *GAAASP* "Ah… I'm back! Damn brat actually has the will to fight. My time may be limited if I make his base strength go too high! Anyways… she destroyed my damn shard and the strength that came with it."

Atoshen stands up and looks onward into the distant cosmos that still exist. He restructures his outfit and prepares for departure.

Atoshen: "Damn wench nearly got us… she'll pay for sure! But first… I'll have to gain a Study in order to do so. Best to leave Gahwardia if I'm going to do that." *FWIP*

MorZick: (Good, the bastard is still alive. Did you feel it too Demetrius?)

Demetrius: (Yeah Chief. Looks like we'll be able to search for him after all. Leave him be?)

MorZick: (Yeah.) "Son, have you thought about-" *pewFWIP*

Shiishii: "Is that… the Senkozen Domain signal?"

MorZick: "Yeah… but it isn't summoning me." *Glare*

KurTaak: "Hm?"

Everyone looks at Shiishii's Gahwardian insignia tattooed on his neck. It was glowing purple and blinking all at once. Giving off the same function as a beacon. But he was not the only one to be receiving this call. You could see the same on Haydes, Vashjai, Morpheus, Gaia, Kishin, Hideaki, and even Ebon as well as a few unknown Gods. It would seem a family meeting between the younger generations of the Senkozen family was in order. Of course the second gen Life and Death gods had to be there as well.

"I'll be grabbing Vashjai and heading out then, pops." Shiishii said as he stood up and walked to the door. He gave a salute to everyone with his index and middle fingers held to his forehead. They all nod and he opens the door and vanishes with a flash. They were all wondering who made the call for the meeting.

Shiishii: "Hey, Vashjai! You ready little bro?"

Vashjai: "Yeah, yeah yeah big bro! *Creek* *SLAM* Let's get a move on and see who the hell made this call." *Click* *LOCK*

Shiishii: "For sure. You got your 4-part bow staff on you just in case?"

Vashjai: *SWISH* "You got your scythe bruh?"

Shiishii: *SHING* "You know damn well I do."

Vashjai: "Likewise."

They both begin a hasty dash for the outer walls of the capitol. They needed an open field to drop their portal seed. It was their way to the domain and EVERYONE within the Senkozen family is required to have at least three of them on their person at all times. They reach the front gates and greet the guards as they run through and gain a couple kilometers into the open grasslands. Vashjai drops his seed and a huge portal opens on the floor. They jump through and the portal immediately closes behind them.

Guard 1: "Must be a Senkozen thing."

Guard 2: "Most definitely my dude."

Guard 1: "... Mhm."

Shiishii and Vashjai travel through a field of warping stars and streams of the purest light you could ever see. Only Luminaria's structures of light could compete.

Shiishii: "I'm wondering who will be here and who called it."

Vashjai: "I as well. Been awhile since I've been here."

Shiishii: "Yeah, I'm hoping this is a friendly thing. This place is vast and amazing and I'd love to explore it after these three millennia. You know… rather than fighting and shit."

Vashjai: "I hear you man, I hear you. Real good to have you back bruh, I'm hoping to explore it with my brothers today."

Shiishii: *Pat* *pat* "Hell yeah lil bro!"

They cast deeper into the stream and a huge beam of light engulfed them as it filled the space. It faded away and you could see a vast field of prairie lands and rocky mountains covered in snow. They was a spatial curvature that could be seen in the distance that showed a pathway to the clouds. There one could find even more vast lands. There were many houses and mansions in norse style that sat atop the clouds. They housed many different retired Senkozen of many generations. Even Gahwardians of different families have earned their right to retire here and rest for eternity in hidden bliss and harmony. Even further above was an endless field of cosmos where more gods could be found on different planets and fields of existence. Streaming to that of a gigatoverse where gods of unimaginable power sit atop their clan sized thrones. Truly a hidden wonder that's been protected by the Senkozen family since the beginning of the current civilizations.

But back below on the fields… one could also see many creatures and beasts of all kinds. More than one thousand species and most were of the alpha class. With a few betas and even the mighty Apex class. Perfect place for a Gahwardian to train. Shiishii and Vashjai seemed to be the first ones there and decided to bask on the wonderful land. After about a minute or so, their basking is interrupted by the arrival of Kishin Hideaki and Ebon. They were all dressed in suits with their Gahwardian coats in tow. Shiishii and Kishin had theirs on their shoulders, resting comfortably.

Shiishii: "What up to y'all once again."

Kishin: "What up big bro, little bro. Only been a few hours. But how y'all doing anyway?"

Shiishii: "Chillin… killin'. *Swish* *flick* *flick* Yeah, yeah… *inhale* What about y'all?"

Hideaki: "Discussing some plans with my pops and the crew. Then we got this strange call."

Ebon: "Yeah, so uh… who called?"

Vashjai: "Wasn't us."

Kishin: "Wasn't any of us either."

Gaia: "Not any of the three of us called it either."

Shiishii: "Hm?"

Gaia walks up behind the group alongside Haydes and Morpheus. They too were wearing suits with Gahwardian fur coats on their shoulders. And from within the depths of the shadows, they could see two other gods. They stare the two female shaped shadows down and they both shake their heads no as they look onward.

Haydes: "So… if it's not any of the ten of us here, then who was it?"

???: "It was me, mayne!"

Everyone turned to the south side and saw a man within a jester's mask. He was wearing identical threads to the rest of them. Shiishii's eyes went sharp and his demeanor changed to threat elimination. He could sense exactly who it was and set everyone but the two shadows on high alert. He removes the mask as he makes contact with the ground and reveals it to be… Jollister. He had been the one to call a meeting with his family.

Shiishii: "What's this about bruh!?"

Jollister: "Calm down mayne… I'm here to see family, not enemies."

Shiishii: "Hmm?!... Oh, alright then that makes my little wish come true. Seems we can explore this plac3 today Vashjai!"

Vashjai: "Woooord!"

Gaia: "Hmph! Well then, that makes things so much easier. So what's the family talks this time?"

Ebon: "Yeah… what's going on Jolli?"

Hideaki: "Shpill it dickwipe."

Jollister: "Lets catch up y'all and talk about what's to come within this next year or so."

Kishin: "I'm down."

Haydes: "Gaia bought drinks."

Shiishii: "I got that Deathly Divikeef and so does Morpheus!"

Morpheus: "Oh we on!"

???: "We're down as well."

Gaia: "Hmm?"

The two shadows wave at the group. One of which has the same eyes as Gaia herself.

Gaia: "Sis."

Gaia's Sister: "Yo, what's up brat."

Jollister: "Mhm!"

???: "Mhm hmm." *the lady in white brushes Jollister off*

Morpheus: "Aye, aye ayyye! We are War Gods, We got no time for this shit."

Shiishii: "We come with a murderous flow, it's time to turn up in this bitch."

Morpheus: "We got our ten families, that's gonna run through your shit!"

Everyone: "But the Senkozen squad got them arithmetic hits! We gone be biting and prancing, all over your clique! We be the Senkozen squad, we got no time for this shit! We the Senkozen squad, time to turn up in this bitch! The Senkozen Squad, AYYYE… time to blow! The Senkozen Squad YOOO… it's time to go!"

Atoshen is back on the move and Shiishii ponders over his coming battle with Haydes. Amidst this, a call is made for a Senkozen family meeting. The time to learn about the hated family has come as Haydes' search for Le Destrucíon continues…
