Star: He placed his hand quickly over Aiden, attempting to teleport the two of them out of there, but right as he tried to do so only he disappeared. After a few seconds, he reappeared mid-air, crashing into one of the walls while knocking him into the cafeteria on the other side.
Aiden: "Star!!!" he screamed, panic flooding his voice as he watched his friend crash through the wall. "What the hell just happened?!" His heart raced as confusion and fear washed over him.
????: With a sudden flash of energy, he appeared beside Aiden, grabbing him by his neck before slamming him into the wall.
Star: He looked up, seeing Aiden get attacked, "Aiden!!!" He tried to stand but something kept slamming him back into the ground, the force of it was denting the floor underneath Star. "What is happening..." He turned his head slightly and suddenly noticed a figure made of purple energy and smoke looming over Star, their hand placed on his back. The figure's red eyes burned into Star's.
Aiden: He grabbed hold of the figure's hand, struggling to break free while gasping for air. A few words escaped his lips, "Let me go..." He clawed at the figure's hand and arm, desperately reaching for freedom. Sparks of blue surged from within his hands, but it did nothing.
????: He got his firey hot blade close to Aiden's face, the energy searing his skin. "They told me not to kill you kid, so I am going to do what I was paid to do and leave you alone." He tossed Aiden aside like a rag doll, "But if you get in the way of my main mission, I will not hesitate to take your life and collect your soul..." He turned away from Aiden, entering into the hole that Star crashed through.
Star: "You bastard, how dare you lay a single hand on him, he's just a kid!" He tried to force himself up only for him to be slammed back down again. "What is this force..."
????: He knelt next to Star, "Phantom's Mask, retract." The purple figure vanished, and the essence swiftly entered his body. "I must say, after meeting you in person, you've been a huge letdown so far. After seeing what you've done and what you are capable of I was expecting a lot more of a fight out of you, but you couldn't even fight against the power of my ability? How incredibly disappointing..."
Star: He grunted, slamming his fist into the ground. He sent a large amount of energy into the ground, blasting himself into the air and knocking the figure back. He landed on his feet, staring him down. "What do you mean by 'what I've done'? Like against Lucium and Lucifer?"
????: He cracked his neck before standing up. "You mean getting tossed around by the two of them and relying on your little purple friend to save you every time? Yeah, I've heard about that, but that's not what I'm talking about..."
Star: He wiped some blood from his mouth, "Then what are you talking about?"
????: His eyes suddenly burned a much brighter red, his levels of rage drastically jumping up. "YOU DON'T REMEMBER WHAT YOU DID TO ME?!?!?!" The calm mercenary suddenly became full of hatred, lunging himself at Star, landing a hit on Star's face which sent him flying into another wall.
Star: His body bounced against the ground before hitting a solid rock wall inside the garage. He looked up noticing a bunch of the guards were running away once they saw the figure entering the room. "What on earth is he talking about...I never did anything to him I was literally born last week and why can't I catch a break?! Every day somebody is trying to kill me!"
????: He entered the room, staring Star down the entire time. "Of course, you don't remember. Why would you? I'm sure you've slaughtered trillions of other worlds..."
Kuask: He charged into the room, "What the hell is going on here?! This is not what we paid you to do!" He charged at the figure, his hands balled into fists.
????: "Phantom's Mask..." The same purple energy appeared once more, its hands clasping around Kuask. Before he could make a sound, the purple figure unleashed a gravitational attack, transforming Kuask into a small glass square. "Return." The energy receded, fading away. "Our contract no longer applies, I got who I wanted..."
Star: He popped his back, staring at the figure before holding his fists up. "It is obvious that you will not listen to anything I have to say, so I suppose I have to take you down in order to leave. But, before we fight I wish to at least know who you are exactly."
Galacor: "That is fair I suppose, if you are to die by my hand you should at least know who I am. My name is Galacor, the last living Xthyiun in existence, I will be the last face you will ever see." Blades shot out from his wrists as he charged at Star with the intent to kill.
Star: "Sure bud, whatever you say." He stood still allowing Galacor to come in closer.
Galacor: He slashed at Star's chest and head with extreme precision, studying his move set with every dodge and attack.
Star: He quickly appeared behind him, punching him in the back of his head, firing his body into the ground creating a shockwave while also destroying the floor beneath them. As he tried to go in for another attack, his fist was quickly caught by Galacor.
Galacor: He laughed in Star's face, wiping blood from his face, "Holding back against me, is a huge mistake...you see, the more you hit me the less you'll be able to do to me." He punched Star back with the same force he gave him. "My species was able to adapt to any condition originally, with a little genetic blending I was able to amplify that feature and make it to where I adapt to damage taken out on me, so if you don't kill me in one hit...you'll never land another one."
Star: He looked at him in shock, he had not gotten hit that hard since Lucium, luckily he trained his body since then. "That is quite the impressive ability you have there Galacor, but do not expect it to protect you forever!" His fist began to burn a bright golden glow, he swung back at Galacor with far more speed and strength.
Galacor: "Phantom's Mask!", the purple figure appeared, stopping Star's attack mid-way, freezing him in place before he could even get close enough to his chest. "I see you are still holding yourself back, I guess you would much rather have a more open world? Phantom's World!" A blast of purple energy wrapped around the two of them, placing them inside of a void. "This place is created using the exact same energy you have, I usually use this ability to trap people but for you, it will be our fighting ring."
Star: He looked at him, "I thought you wanted to kill me not monologue about your power." He smirked at Galacor, even chuckling a bit.
Galacor: "Phantom's Mask! Freeze his power!" A burst of glowing purple energy washed over Star, freezing him in place, it was as if his own power levels were locking him up. "Did you honestly think I was going to play it fair? That I was going to have some big showdown with you? You really are pathetic. After I am done with you, I am going to kill that boy and everyone you have ever known, just like you did to me."
Star: His eyes widened at his words, before looking at the floor and closing his eyes. He said nothing, giving Galacor no satisfaction.
Galacor: "Have you nothing to say? Very well then, silence will be all you are known for during your final moments." His blade shot out of his wrist again, raising it above Star's head, as he was about to slash, he noticed Star's hand twitch. "What!?"
Star: He looked up at him, appearing inches away from his face, staring into his red eyes with his own golden stare. A burst of energy exploded from his form, shattering the void around them, and teleporting them back to the garage. "You came at me, expecting to cheat your way through a fight and kill everyone I care about? Did you truly believe that would work?"
Galacor: Sweat dripped from his body, not understanding how Star was able to shoot his power levels so high that he could break free from Phantom's World. He was so surrounded by fear and confusion that he did not know what to do, his body would not react to anything he was thinking.
Star: "Do not ever threaten those I care about, ever again, or next time I will not show you the same mercy." He turned away from Galacor, knowing that in his own way, he was defeated. He took hold of Aiden's hand, teleporting them out of the base.
Galacor: He stared where the two of them once were, lowering his hand slowly. "Impressive Star, I seem to have underestimated you...the next time we run into each other, I will make sure I don't make the same mistake twice." His eyes flashed red with rage and hatred.
