The ball above my head was getting bigger and almost ready for me to start spinning it, but I still needed a bit of time. My three Disciples had daily simulation training as well as their nightly patrols on the streets of Moonlight City ever since I had first picked them up and given them power.
This would be their official debut in front of the rest of the world and I wasn't worried about how they would perform. They were completely different from that first day in the holodeck. They have not only learned a lot of skills like myself, but they also have had time to explore their unique powers more intimately and have learned to use them in ways I would have never imagined.
In their entrance alone, many Thanagarians had fallen into a state of fear. I couldn't help but wonder if it was one of the effects the system had spoke of or if they were just that intimidating. One of the more brave Thanagarians shouted out. "PULL YOURSELVES TOGETHER! THEY ARE JUST THREE BRATS BY THE LOOKS OF IT. WE ARE A HIGHLY TRAINED ARMY, DO NOT GET CAUGHT UP IN THEIR LOUSY SCARE TACTICS!"
The Thanagarians started to become a little more relaxed after hearing his words, but it didn't last long. In front of them the Kid with the creepy mocking voice and ghostface mask plunged his knife into his own abdomen as he laughed hysterically. He didn't stop with just one stab, but he continued to stab himself in over and over.
The Thanagarians after seeing the young ghostly figure constantly Seppuku all took a step back. One of the Thanagarians could be heard mumbling under his breath. "C-Crazy!!"
Matteo had not been able to use this skill before, but thanks to the Nth Metals healing properties, it was now possible. With every stab into his stomach, his attack power increased and his ability to cause blood loss in the enemy increased with it.
This was a stackable skill that could be applied over and over until it was either interrupted or he started his attack, so Scream aka Matteo didn't stop. His Teacher/King had put him through way worse psychological torture in the past as part of his training and temporary pain like this was now nothing.
While scream was stabbing himself, Whisper had begun creating fairies non stop. Mayank aka Whisper had long since shed his timid personality and no longer had mercy on his foes. He could also now summon a lot more than just twenty fairies unlike before. His current limit was five hundred ish fairies. The fairies themselves hadn't changed much, but they were plenty vicious how they originally were so it wasn't a big deal if they didn't change.
While the other two were getting themselves prepared to attack, Chucky aka Charlotte raised her hand towards the closest Thanagarians and giggled. "My dollhouse is going to have so many new play things!" After saying this, hundreds of Thanagarians turned into plushies, action figures, and other types of dolls before falling to the ground with soft cushioned landing. This was Charlottes biggest change. She no longer had to touch her opponents to turn them into dolls, they just needed to be close enough and have hostility towards her.
Charlotte hadn't bothered going down to scoop her new playthings up. She knew that many more would join them soon and she should just wait to collect them after. The Thanagarians seeing their comrades turn into toys felt nervous, but they knew if they didn't attack, they stood no chance. "CHARGE!" yelled a Thanagarian leader.
By this time Scream had stabbed himself a total of fifty three times and was full of power. Whisper had summoned three hundred and forty two pot bellied fairies. "Go, try not to kill them, but make them wish they were dead." Whispered Whisper to his wicked orange fairies.
Immediately the fairies cut through the rushing crowd of Thanagarian's as they used their pointy teeth to chew through their magic and armor while using their tiny blades to slowly cut off their limbs and other body parts. The Thanagarian's relied on the magical Nth Metal too heavily and these fairies were like a nightmare to them. It wouldn't be too much to say that the fairies were their natural predator.
Scream not wanting to fall behind could no longer sit still as he rushed into battle, his black hooded gown fluttering in the wind as blood sprayed everywhere he went. His speed and power was on par with a Kryptonian in this moment. He stabbed at eyes, organs, necks, etc knowing the Thanagarians healing very well since he now had a Nth metal ring himself and knew the extent of it's power after training with it for the last six hours.
Charlotte didn't like to compete with her Disciple brothers and so she stuck near the King and turned anyone who approached him into plushies as he collected energy for his attack. Sadly, even though hundreds of Thanagarians fell from the sky each minute, the three of them were still slowly getting overwhelmed.
The Thanagarian army seemed almost limitless even though the ground below was covered with their bloodied and broken forces already and because they could heal quickly, the Thanagarians would rejoin the battle not long after falling to the ground. "We can't keep this up much longer." Pleaded Charlotte as she glanced back at King Moonlight.
Looking down at Charlotte I smiled. "Just one more minute, it's all I need." the ball above me was spinning beautifully and a 'whirring' sound could be heard from it as it got bigger and spun faster. I continued to add more and more ki to the ball as I watched my tired and overwhelmed Disciples slowly lose their momentum and began to be pushed back by the overwhelmingly large army that surrounded us.
Charlotte could no longer keep creating dolls, the power to do so had been exhausted after using it for so long and so she was now swinging her blade with skill towards anyone that approached. She herself had been stabbed and slashed a number of times, but was slowly healing thanks to the Nth metal ring, but unlike her and her brother disciples, the Thanagarians didn't mind killing them and were aiming for her life.
Just as a Thanagarian axe was about to remove Chucky/Charlottes head from her body, I used my magical eye beams and targeted the axe in question. "Fall back, you guys have done your job of holding them back flawlessly!" I yelled out to my disciples who immediately stopped their fight and went down towards the town nearby joining the girls and towns people below.
Shortly after all the fairies that had been attacking the Thanagarians also went down to the town and then on Whispers orders, shielded the town. As the Thanagarians chopped at King Moonlights body with their weapons, he shouted out. "THEIA DESTRUCTIOOOOOOOON!"
The ball of ki fell down towards the generator below and many Thanagarians foolishly tried to stop it by standing in it's way only to disappear completely as if they had never been there. Their deaths had nothing to do with me, and everything to do with their stupidity. The ball continued to slowly fall to the generator until it finally hit it.
The light from the attack was so bright, that everyone around had gone temporarily blind, while the sound of the actual explosion was delayed. Shortly after hitting the generator, the impact was finally heard. BOOOOOOOOM!
For just a moment the whole earth seemed to shake and the animals and bugs on the planet had all gone silent.
🎵♪🎶Here comes the moon Doo-d-doo-doo🎵♪🎶 I sang before laughing out loud as I watched the remaining Thanagarians turn around and fly away in defeat. They had lost all will or purpose to fight. The place where the generator had been which used to be the size of a small city, was nowhere to be seen. A gigantic crater had taken it's place, unfortunately for the Thanagarians, many of them had died in the attack even though I tried avoiding doing so.
The debris from the attack had flown down towards the nearby town and bounced off of the fairies giant domed shield, while the people and Heroes in the town could only look on in shock with their mouths gaping open. The power they had just witnessed had long surpassed Superman's and was on par with that of a god. Many of the townspeople knelt down and began to bow or pray.
Nothing could prepare them for what they witnessed next though.
