Chereads / STRIFE: A Life and Death Tale / Chapter 100 - 100.) May We Reveal the Untold!

Chapter 100 - 100.) May We Reveal the Untold!

We find ourselves within a universal base. A base full of malice of all kinds and beings who commit to the most heinous of acts. Their captains and leaders hold a meeting to discuss the forefront of their plans and the results of their labor. There were 20 captains which was a perfect parallel for the 20 clans that may stand in the way of their goal. Something they can't have if they wish to actually succeed in breaking balance.

Amidst the meeting and its topics, they were visited by an intruder with a high bloodlust. That's proven by the fact that she killed one of the captains in cold blood. Even went as far as to eliminate a good chunk of their platoon and soldiers. With the mangled body lying on the floor, blood pouring from the tears on their skin. The Goddess walks right over them as she introduces herself. It was none other than Gaia's older sister and the person who staged as Clariece, Clarissa Senkozen.

She had come with the intention of taking a spot as a captain within XigXahm's organization. In her attempts to do so, she was rushed by Miitto and Billiam They were both completely knocked down within a mere second. Unable to get up as she stood on their heads and forced them to bow. She stared XigXahm directly in his eye and you could see nervousness written all over his face. Jollister was no better while trying hard to play it cool. But he knew all too well of her strength and legend and wanted no part in fighting his older cousin. Who also happened to be the Life to his Death.

Clarissa: "You heard me over there XigXahm ol' pal. Ill be taking the spot for number 4. I mean come on now, that guy over there was a 55 on the scale. It only took two blows to mangle him. I got leadership skills and the power to mold this organization into something that won't know failure. Something Jollister and his little platoon has recently experienced."

Jollister: "Hmph. *Grin* Don't look this way XigXahm. I have no qualms with my other half being here."

Miitto: "N-Nrgh!"

Clarissa: "How's my foot taste? Say it you twerp!"

Miitto: "G-Gaaah, fine! I-I have… no qualms XigXahm!"

Clarissa: "Good. *Step* Now get up. You too, child of Beel."

Billiam: "D-Damn you."

XigXahm: "Wh-What the hell is happening here?"

Clarissa: "Simple… your organization just grew a whole lot more. Now then, what do you say… XigXahm." *Sinister grin*

XigXahm: "Tch! D-Dammit all. F-Fine… my team has already got the chance to witness your might. Does anyone have any objections to her joining as number 4?"

Everyone shook their heads, showing there were no issues with Clarissa taking the mantle as the 4th strongest. They had already gotten a clear demonstration of her prowess and found no reason to disagree. So with that being said…

XigXahm: "Seeing as no one is opposing it, we have ourselves a new captain and Number 4. But I do have to ask… what truly brings you here?"

Clarissa: "Simple enough… I'm bored and what Jollister said when we last saw each other caught my attention. I truthfully want to see how this plays out."

Jollister: "Sounds about right."

XigXahm: "Mhm…"

Clarissa: "But even more than that, I wish to be a wall that Gaia must break through. Omens far greater than what you guys wish to cause are already among us. Even we all must stray carefully."

Romiairr: "Hm…"

Marylou: "Well that's quite the news to be hearing. But we have a prodigy of Senkozen on our side now. So things should get pretty darn interesting."

Jujoku: "Hehe! Hell yeah, about time we get some real exciting news. Bring on whatever omens you got, we'll crush 'em all no matter what!"

Clarissa: "Hmph! Indeed Jujoku and it's been awhile you brat. Care to dance later on? I need a bit of a warm up, y'know?"

Jujoku: "It'd be my pleasure Mistress Clarissa."

XigXahm: "Don't get ahead of yourself now. If you're going to be our number 4, then you must get the full run down from we, three leaders."

Clarissa: "Sounds good to me 'Xig-Xahm' … *Chuckle* Let me know when. Guess we'll have to push our little dance back a bit. I'll beep your essence communicator once I'm done here."

Jujoku: "Fine by me. Just let me know."

XigXahm: "Mhm… you're all dismissed for now. Just be ready to be deployed and inform your teams. Meeting adjourned." *Clap* *CLAP*

Everyone: "May the Untold become TRUTH!"

XigXahm: "Hmph, may it indeed… become the only TRUTH. Now then, you three… follow me."

Miitto: "Mhm… (I'll get you one of these days, Clarissa!)"

Clarissa: "Hm? Did you say something, hunn?"

Jollister: "Aye just ignore him and his thoughts, mayne. Focus more on your situation at hand and that you've joined our battle against balance. XigXahm is gonna give you the full rundown of everything."

Clarissa: "Oh really? Ok sounds good then."

All four of them continue their commute to what seems to be XigXahm's more private quarters. They took a few turns and even went through a wartanium door that protected the inner sanctum. After a while, they find themselves in a huge room with XigXahm, Jollister and Miitto's faces plastered onto the walls. Along with their family crests sitting right under their picture. Clarissa looked over to her right and could see a picture of her forming with a matching crest to Jollister's own. Solidifying her entrance in as the organization's fourth leader. It brought on a great deal of satisfaction for her.

"Annnnd it's official. I'm in here for the long run… now tell me what this is all about you three." , she says in a serious tone as she looks at her three partners. Each take their seat at a big square table that sat smack dab in the middle of the room. It made it more obvious that this was a hidden room for private discussions amongst the leaders. XigXahm was patting a seat right next to his person, showing he wished for Clarissa to sit there. Clarissa rolls her eyes at the smiling XigXahm and vanishes from their sights and into the chair.

Clarissa: "Well? Get to explaining then."

Miitto: "Cht!"

Jollister: "Mhm."

XigXahm: "Hehe. Alright, I'll start us off with the fact that this organization was made when I had left the group I was in way back when. I had experienced some terrible stuff behind the concepts of Life and Death."

Clarissa: "Were those experiences… the killing and deaths of loved ones. Or was it a major genocide class event?"

XigXahm: "Both unfortunately, amd when i pleaded with Life & Death I to change how things went. They turned me down coldly and even took my friends' souls with them as they returned to their base. Those same friends have yet to be deemed worthy of using their second Life. Which is bullshit, but… that wasn't what brought this plan about. It was simply a catalyst so I won't go deep into those events just yet. We can talk amongst ourselves on that day."

Clarissa: "Hm hmh, ok that's fine. But that's usually the thing that has many hating we who lead the souls to their next life. So if it wasn't that… then what brought such a disastrous plan forth?"

XigXahm: "Mhm… it was when I saw them not bat an eyelash during the ruin of the 50th Colossaverse. On top of the many who despaired from this and had none of their prayers answered. I wasn't going to allow such tragedies to continue to happen. It's BULLSHIT."

Miitto: "I agree, which is why I agreed to help. On top of the kinds of fights and chaos we can cause. Heheee!"

Jollister: "And I'm just being a really good bestfriend and helping my guy out. Even if it does go against my own family… they'll be alriiiight, mayne."

Clarissa: "Hmph! I guess your reasoning isn't too far off. But you seem to be reminding me of a bunch of anime antagonists I like. So, feeble as it may be… I'll help for that reasom alone. Though, I'll opt out the minute you prove to be inadequate."

XigXahm: "Ha! I wouldn't have it any other way Clarissa."

Jollister: "Well, well... well. I finally have my other half at my side. Too bad my birthright twin won't join, probably a good thing. She isn't suited for this group."

Miitto: "Mhm…"

Clarissa: "From what I could sense amongst your captains. There are still a few who lack the strength to combat a clan, which is 65-85 on average. We need to get those that are lacking up to par, so they'll train with me. Starting with Jolli and Miito over here. You too, brat."

XigXahm: "Mhm… I don't like the idea of being trained by you. I heard rumors and Jollister don't hold back when telling his truths."

Jollister: "Well it is a necessity if we want to prevail in this scheme of yours."

XigXahm: "Well… you're correct when it comes to that. Seeing as we already sewed the threads into this fate we must meet head on. After All… we've already done so much."

Jollister: "True shit though… We have done a lot. We stole two studies from Ebodi-Mozan and used them against allies of that clan. They now reside with my team as a boost to stature."

Miitto: "And even I meddled with the strings of fate that bind Shiishii and Haydes. Then instigated it to the highest degree to rid us of any chance Haydes would want to reconcile with his brother. And the meddling has yet to stop."

XigXahm: "Yes, we even went as far as to already spread our roots into Prince Morbiusse's mind. He is now more corrupt than he was on his own. That was caused by Trilion while we had another one of our Captains commence a 3 millennia long mission. A mission that has brought absolute corruption and disaster to Luminaria. The same thing is happening in Devojinns as well."

Clarissa: Seems like you've all been very busy."

XigXahm: "Yeah we have, we even released Rashomon using Jabreeze and Slith which lead to the eventual awakening of Atomen. Someone I want in our organization. We've stopped trades for the first Colossaverse for the time being. We've gotten important officials killed that'd naturally get in our way, just to add insult to injury, we even had their own people do it. We've done so damn much that even Annihilo Sect and the Assassin Corps. have all had to bust open the stops. And even though they have been affected by us, we have insiders in one of them which directly affects the other."

Clarissa: "You guys are truly little monsters. Were you also the cause of the Might Clan's recent inner conflict?"

Miitto: "Of course we were, and it doesn't stop there. Everything we've committed to is merely the beginning. With you here, even if it is a surprise. And with the amount that we've accomplished… the true phase to our plan can begin."

Clarissa: "Let me guess… execution in every possible manner of the word?"

XigXahm: "Exactly… we'll execute our plan, and ANYONE that gets in our way. No goddamn exceptions for anyone."

Jollister: "Hmph! Well… you now know the full rundown of how much we've done and where we're going with this. I'll leave it up to XigXahm to explain the true confines of our plans. But for now…"

Clarissa: "This'll be good enough. For now… I'm going to clean up my mess and settle into my new quarters."

XigXahm: "Please do… we did recently expand this hijacked rubbish. Now it's turned into universal glory with a galaxy for each captain and their teams to reside in. Miitto and Jollister, you two should go inform your teams of what's to come. Once you're done… meet me in my main quarters. That'll be all for now."

Jollister: "You got it." *PEW*

Miitto: "Yep." *PEW*

Clarissa: "Mhm… I'll be right back. *Fwip*

XigXahm: "Mhm hm. (It's truly that time! Yes… FINALLY!!!)" *Sinister Grin*

Clarissa, Miitto and Jollister all went towards their personal sectors to inform their commanders of the coming training. As well as the news that Clarissa was the new captain AND fourth in charge. For this was their first step in dominating the Omniverse. Something they had waited far too long to achieve and now it was within their reach. XigXahm could hardly hold in his excitement as he smiled out of the window.

"Ugh… I'm a little extra it seems. Did NOT need to cause such a mess just to get the job done. *sigh* I hate myself." Clarissa says to herself as she begins to manipulate the pools of blood she had created when she massacred all those gods. She made sure to use her essence to grip every possible particle and blood and move it to the ball she had created. She continued collecting the blood and other exposed arteries and organs, then She created a sphere that was to act as a catalyst for an explosion.

Once she was finished, she quickly headed over to her room. It was there that she began to set up her living quarters and arrangements. Then went about her way to address her new team about their new vision. And the lead that will usher in the greatest force of TRUTH this Omniverse will ever see.

Meanwhile, Jollister made his way to his own quarters where he met with Jabreeze, Slith, Uriyah, a Goddess named Teipha Everdeam and the now paranoid Nekros. Everyone rises to their feet and salutes Jollister, for they were his Commanders. Every captain within the organization has five Commanders that help them lead their armies with an iron fist. But amongst those commanders is a repeated ranking that we see with XigXahm and his second, third and fourth-in-command concept. Jollister and every other captain also followed this concept and had their own second-in-command. Jollister's was Miss Teipha, who was nearing his power scale rating.

Jollister: *Step* *step* "Greetings my trusted- err. *Glare* Mhm… come on now Nekros, can't have that. *Fwisk* Don't be letting Haydes plant stuff in your mind. You were careless."

Nekros: "Gah! (Hellblazer is gone… finally!) I-I appreciate the help sir, won't happen again!" *Salute*

Haydes: "Tch! So you were caught huh?"

(Hellblazer: "It seems so, and just when I had nearly obtained what we needed. Damn that Jollister!)

Haydes: "All good… while you were gone, I stumbled upon some information on the keys and our suspicions were correct. Five of the Le Destrucíon members are keys."

(HellBlazer: "Mhm… THEY ARE!?!?")

Jollister: "No big deal, so at ease soldier. Follow me real quick, I got some news for you all."

Teipha: "What's the news?"

Uriyah: "Something good I hope."

Jollister: "Yeah it is… seems the legendary Goddess, Clarissa Senkozen will be training us. She wants everyone up to par for what's to come."

Slith: *Gulp* "Did you just say… Clarissa Senkozen?"

Jabreeze: "Seems like it. That's great, but terrifying all at once."

Nekros: "I'm game for whatever will prevent another breach of my mindscape."

Jollister: "Hmph, Good. It'll be fun."

They follow Jollister into his main quarters to further discuss what was said at the meeting. Meanwhile… Clarissa has already headed back towards XigXahm to have a private talk. XigXahm asked for this, he had something he felt she needed to hear. And Clarissa's interest was surly peaked from such words, she just had to hear what he needed to say. She walked through a long hallway as Jollister had done before her. She walked into the throne room only to see XigXahm staring out into the cosmos once more.

XigXahm: "I'll start off by saying, thank you. Your being here reassures me a bunch. It's not as though I trust YOU that much. It's more so that I trust who you are that much and know you're not here to sabotage. It's not within your character. I can guess that Gaia is your goal… right?"

Clarissa: "Indeed she is and you are correct about my character. I wish to observe you guys from up close, a distance wasn't cutting it honestly. I'm here for the long run."

XigXahm: "Good to hear it, because we'll definitely need your strength. Colossaverse one is a threat and thorn in my side like no other."

Clarissa: "I'm going to ask a dumb question out of pure curiosity. How so?"

XigXahm: "Pfft… that question isn't dumb at all. You see… it's all so very simple. Think about how far the likes of Shiishii and his siblings have come since his return. It's immaculate and so is the growing strength of that clan."

Shiishii and his siblings were all training simultaneously within different parts of the Combat Verse, known as Colossaverse I. Kishin fought with his uncle, Zenki and his cousin, Hideaki. Honing their affinity for annihilation and fusing it to their base element. Vashjai and Ebon hone their speed, percision, stamina and stealth by training with their assassin captain, Meenahs Fely. Haydes gets a session underway with his returned partner Hellblazer… and the now complete other half of his Self-Split technique. Morpheus trains side by side with Young Strife as they futher their usage of Zenchi and its principles. Shiishii himself has begun a harsh regimen that focuses on grasping the natural essence around him and using it to do his bidding. He was also being put through near death sparring matches with MorZick and Gaia. Even Demetrius shows him ways to use his death essence in a way similar to darkness. Allowing him to use it as a force and not just a natural kill spawn or cloud. Each brother was high in focus for what was to come.

"You have the likes of that brat Mobiusse fighting our grasp."

Mobiusse makes way for a new era as he gets his father and mother locked away for false treason. Leaving him as the sole leader of the Machinelord Clan. Since his sister had already been sworn into duty with the Grand Council. Corruption spreads there even without XigXahm's influence. Such is the threat of a more powerful and malicious Prince- no… King Mobiusse II.

"Beasts of all kinds begin to sharpen their fangs. Readying for a second wave of what we have to offer and their not failing to meet those demands."

Beasmerans gather at the base of their capital's high castle. Where the King and his teams gather to spread a wave of moral boost. For they too were readying for an all out battle. A pattern seems to be forming and it doesn't spell good news. Just as XigXahm had implied.

"The likes of the mighty and who tote grand armor in the form of scales. They too did not suffer a moral loss. Instead we made their drive worse."

Mightopians from all over come to the capital to gain a piece of forgotten knowledge. For everyone needed a way to guarantee safety if they were to be attacked like their sister clans. The knowledge was a infinite amount of copies of a book said to contain the scriptures for old Gahwardian techniques. They were suited for the heavily physical and Mightopians had that in spades. Dracko Draconia was no exception. Zo'Elgor and his children ushered in a new wave of pf dragons that wished to be warriors. Plenty of which were of high caliber when it came to battle IQ and prowess. All the while… they track the new found signal that matches Zoshen's own.

"It continues like this in every damn clan. Even Embodi-Mozan and it's people are gathering to up their military force. I even heard the King took Curti into their private dimension. Time flows slow as hell in their… meaning they'll be on a whole other level upon exiting."

Clarissa: "I see. I see that I'm truly necessary here."

XigXahm: "Indeed your are, since your sister allowed the Minéttians to pinpoint my mole and execute him. Pushing back my plans for them, and even worse. The Guardians were able to start gathering citizens and military personnel to undergo training. Your mother made a troublesome civilization with troublesome kids to boot."

Clarissa: "Mhm… I'm pretty sure she also convinced them to aid her and Shiishii in Luminaria. My daughter lives there and is very close to both my sisters. She saw them fight and overheard the deal that was made."

XigXahm: "Yet another obstacle. Even the damn Phoenofians are on high alert after our failed attempt. But… it's alright in the end."

Clarissa: "You have a plan I presume?"

XigXahm: "Yeah, I can predict that nearly a year's time from now will be when Haydes decides to attack. He has his own personal forces to tend to and gather on top of making sure he has the power to do this. I know he interfered with our retrieval of Demetri in order to gain his trust again. That's an ally now and he's a damn Key. He did the same thing in Gahwardia when he trained with Taishinn from what my mole told me. Yet another Key he has recruited."

Clarissa: "Hm…"

XigXahm: "And we both know Shiishii naturally gained the trust of the other three. So why not use their quarrel as a way to retrieve them. And hopefully they destroy each other in the process. And I have a backup plan just in case that fails."

Clarissa: "Plan B being war on Colossaverse I?"

XigXahm: "You're damn right, which is why we sent more help to Haydes. Help that he'll have full control of this time around. These are the measures we take to be successful, such is the might of… The Untold TRUTH. Kehehehehahahahahaaaaaaa!!!

Clarissa: "Let the Untold become TRUTH. I'm here for it… (So show us a good time STRIFE.)"

10 months Later…

??? "Waaaa~aaaaah!!! Waaaah waaa…. *Plop* Mhm…" *suck* *suck*

Shiishii: "Damn Shiimiya. You're such a loud little infant. Reminds me of Vashjai at this age."

Shiishii was busy tending to a beautiful baby girl. She had one purple eye and one moonlit yellow eye. Her hair was dominantly purple while the ends varied between black and white. She had an abundance of essence that was hard to contain so she naturally couldn't tuck her wolves tail and ears. Even her crimson wings sometimes shot out when she was highly upset. Ah… what a cute little monster they made. Amiyama and Shiishii decided to buy two mansions, one in Phoenofia and one in Gahwardia near the capitol. They also installed warp gates so it would be easier to get to both homes. Also making it easier for Shiimiya to see both her grandparents.

Amiyama: "She's a handful isn't she?"

Gaia: "You got that right. She's something else and barely just 2 months old."

Shiishii: *bwiTING* "Mhm…"

Amiyama: "What's wrong dear?"

Gaia: (Seems he sensed it as well.)

Shiishii: "The omen… shall come to pass after all. My fight with Haydes is close… I can feel it."

Amiyama: "I'd usually tell you off, but even I can tell it's coming."

Shiishii: "It's alright, here take our baby girl for a second."

Shiishii begins walking over to the edge of the cliff they were picnicking on. He stares off into the cosmos and takes a strong whiff of fresh air. And an even greater whiff of the essence flowing about. He blinks and flashes a bit of Mental Zenchi.

Shiishii: "Hmph… nothing like that matters now that we got a gem to protect. My enemies…"

Gaia: "No… our enemies!"

Both: "Don't stand a chance!"

Shiimiya: "Daa da daa DA! HeHIIIiiiii! *Smile* DadaDA!"

Amiyama: "Hmm hm! That's right Shiimiya, your daddy and aunt are gonna smash the bad guys."

Shiimiya: (But will they succeed mommy?)

Shiishii: "Hm!?"

Gaia: "What?"

Amiyama: "Wait… Shiimiya, you can…"

Shiimiya: "DaDAAA! (Will they?)"

Amiyama: "Uh- err. Eh erhm! Of course they will, sweetheart."

Shiishii: "My child is the thirteenth Baby of Chaos… wow."

Gaia: "Amazing. This could mean a lot Shiishii. We have to make sure we succeed in stopping the retrieval of the keys."

Shiishii: "Balance will live on so long as we're here."

Shiimiya: (How can you all be so sure?)

Amiyama: "Oh…"

Gaia: "Well that's easy my lovely little niece!"

Shiishii: "It's because we're…"

All three: "STRIFE!!!"

Shiishii and Amiyama begin the wave of a new era. As they bring into this world, a star in the shape of a child, a child known as Shiimiya Senkozen. With the likes of Haydes and XigXahm lurking about… STRIFE gathers for the second time to oppose them. As the stakes grow higher, what will become of our Omniverse as Haydes closes in on Le Destrucíon.
