*Present Day*
As the early morning dew had settled, it was quickly trampled under foot. Fort Wilderness was gearing up for another attack. Having received word for the Dwarves of the Mountain, they knew the Holy Kingdom was to attack them by mid-morning. Polaris stood atop Fort Wilderness, taking a moment to relax, but something felt off.
"Bel, do you sense that?"
"Yes, I feel as if I could fire darkness from my fingertip.... What are we to do?"
"I, not only as your lover, but the Leader of Fort Wilderness swear to defend you. No matter the cost."
"We should head down, they need us."
"Go on ahead.... I'll meet you down there."
"Are you sure?"
"I'm sure, I'll be right down."
As Bel rushed down to assist the others, Polaris turned around to find Alpha Centauri standing there.
"What is it?"
"An attack is coming... PUT YOUR BARRIERS UP NOW!"
"ARCHIMEDES! BARRIERS UP NOW! ALL OF EM!"
Archimedes flips on the barrier generators and all four barriers cover the city. Everyone waits for impact, but nothing happens.
"The hell Centauri."
"Listen to me. Push your energy into the barrier stream now. Otherwise people are going to die. Trust me."
Polaris shakes his head and fires his energy into the barrier stream, as his energy becomes integrated with the barriers, what could only be described as a dark hammer of god slammed down onto the barriers.
Archimedes gets his first look at the legions amassed outside the barrier. The entire Holy Legion was at their front doors, and to make matters worse, Captain Winter spotted soldiers from Wintersbane being lead by none other than Antarctica Winters, otherwise known as The White Death.
"Get word to Polaris, Wintersbane troops are on our doorstep! His brother in specific!"
A dwarf rushes past soldiers and civilians to Polaris who is sustaining the barriers.
"Hero Polaris! Your brother and troops from Wintersbane are helping storm the gates."
Polaris stops putting his energy into the barriers and began levitating above the fort.
"Father, target is confirmed here."
"Excellent, I will be arriving in meer moments."
A dark portal opened and legions of Wintersbane soldiers began pouring out of it. After the soldiers hand finished, Ogres carrying a palanquin marched out. Inside the palanquin, was Absolute, Tessa and Anastasia. The Holy Legion stopped their attack as the Dark Lord himself stepped onto the battlefield.
"Polaris, is that...."
"Yes, that's my father, mother, brother and sister...."
"But I.... they died in your explosion...."
Moments later, dark warriors pull a goddess out from the portal before closing it. She was badly injured and locked in shackles.
"YOU HAVE SOMETHING THAT BELONGS TO ME! I.E, MY BASTARD OF A SON AND MY GRANDFATHER. BRING THEM TO ME AND I MAY SPARE YOUR LIVES."
Polaris met up with Captain Winters and Atrocity before he could rush outside.
"Why not?"
"They don't know you are here. You, Astotle Winters, maybe our needed trump card incase they pull some last minute crap."
"The kid's right. You need to stay out of sight son. For now, lay low, wait for commands."
"Alright fine, but you two better make it through this."
Atrocity and Polaris marched out of the barrier, but not before he spoke to Archimedes.
"The shields won't hold Polaris."
"I'm aware, take this." He hands Archimedes a odd-looking whistle. "Once Atrocity and I exit the barrier, blow that as hard as you can then snap it."
"Why?"
"Have faith."
Polaris rejoins Atrocity and the two exit the barrier. Archimedes blows the whistle, but no sound comes out. So he blows it several times before snapping it. "I just hope that works."
As Polaris and Atrocity stopped just outside the barrier, Absolute and Antarctica made their way with the Pope to meet the two.
"Follow my lead Atrocity."
"Will do."
"Well now, seems those schmucks actually gave you two up!"
"Like hell they did. We came here to discuss battle terms."
"God will not stand the sight of you or this affront you call a nation."
"As the Dark Lord of the North, I will not stand by and see God so blatantly slapped in the face. This city dies today, along with everyone inside."
"As a hero and speaking for everyone, go fuck yourselves."
"Well now hold on. Let's hear what Atrocity thinks of this."
"I'm going to enjoy mauling every last one of your troops, and then ripping your precious little Pope-toy here into a million tiny chunks."
"Well now, that's not very heroic. Is this the kind of place you run Polaris?"
"Who in the FUCK, said I was a hero. You will be food, nothing more." Snapped Atrocity through a growl.
The leaders returned to their respective sides. Polaris was immediately swarmed by dwarves along with Archimedes, all helping to get him set up in the full Voltz Suit. Once they were ready, the Army of Wilderness was the first onto the battlefield.
"Ready for this Polaris?"
"As ready as I'll ever be. If this is where we fall, I am thankful for your friendship and service over the many years Fog. That goes to the rest of you all too." Said Polaris sealing his helmet. Standing beside him were the original heroes, and those who had joined the Wilderness Initiative after the mass purge done by the Church of Humanity. Of those who joined, Joplin, controller of tornadoes White-Phosphorous, wielder of the most deadly gas even created, Blaze, a nether-realm fire being, Silvyr, a dryad, and Gauss, a ghost magic caster were standing beside Polaris.
"We hold the goddamn line here! BRACE AND FIGHT WITH HONOR!" Yelled Atrocity as the legions collapsed in on them. The 10,000 Wilderness soldiers and heroes were up against 290,000 soldiers of the Holy Kingdom and Wintersbane combined.
As they clashed, it was becoming clear, Absolute had no intentions of taking prisoners. He grabbed Silvyr and ripped open her skull. He was dropping the Wilderness troops like flies until in rushed Powerdrive who pile drove him away from the battle. "Polaris! You're the only one who can stop him! HEROES! HOLD OFF THE WINTERS FAMILY NOW!" Yelled Archimedes as he sniped a holy knight with his long bow.
Polaris vaporized soldiers from existence as he made his way to Absolute. Tessa tried to attack him but found herself battling Bel, Hexxit and Arris. Anastasia found herself battling Joplin, White Phosphorous Gauss, while Antarctica, the White-Death, faced off against the mighty Polar Bear of Wilderness himself, Atrocity Winters.
Polaris launched himself at Absolute, firing waves of attacks to mitigate his cold. The Celestial and Hyper-Meta were locked in a head to head battle. Frost and Flames clashed sending shock waves across the battlefield, each of their hit aiming to kill the other.
"YOU COULD'VE BEEN THE GREATEST OF US."
"I CHOSE TO SAVE THE PEOPLE YOU PUT DOWN INSTEAD!"
Both Father and Son putting their full power into their hits. Absolute's armor was impenetrable to most attacks, but with the forces of two stars and a moon, Polaris managed to break through it with his axe. The more they fought, the more armor was broken away. Eventually Polaris ripped away the chestplate and helmet.
"I'M ENDING THIS HERE!" Yelled Polaris as he kicked Absolute to the ground. As he raised his axe to kill his father, Tessa fired a bolt of holy magic through him. She'd dropped him to a knee, at the cost of her own life, but it was more than enough."
Absolute stood up and grabbed him hammer. "You were about one thing Polaris, someone is ending this, and that someone is me." Absolute golf-swung his battlehammer launching Polaris into the air, just him to comeback down and received a hammer-blow to the chestplate sending him through the trees, finally slamming down into the dirt.
Absolute rather than finish off his son, made his way towards the heroes. With the flick of his hand, Hexxit was reduced a bloody splatter against the trees.
"NO! BEL GET OUT OF THERE!" Yelled Powerdrive as he should charged Absolute. Powerdrive, an eight-foot tall rare metal golem was all that was standing in between Absolute and Polaris's lover.
Absolute stood up and sighed. "So be it golem."
Absolute punched Powerdrive with a fraction of his power, cracking his jackhammer attachments for his hands. Powerdrive may have been able to hit harder than most, but his weaknesses were his speed and any below freezing temperature. Absolute inhaled deeply and blew out a breath of air that had an earth-chilling temperature of absolute zero. Powerdrive shielded Bel and himself with his right arm, but it came at a cost. He was shivering, the frost had frozen the very molecules of his mythril right arm to a solid stand-still even magical energy couldn't pass through. Absolute simply tapped his arm shattering it like glass.
"S-Stay behind m-me Bel."
As Absolute powered up another punch and another breath of absolute zero, a beam of light grabbed him and pulled him into the sky. Polaris tossed him into the upper atmosphere and rocked him with punches over and over again.
Meanwhile..... "Numbers, I need to know how many we have left." Demanded Fog.
"Fog.... We're down five-thousand and we've about killed around forty-thousand of them." Answered a Knight of Initiative City. The Knight looked at Fog, he was distracted by the battle just beyond the walls. The Knight nodded to himself then spoke to Fog. "Go help them sir! We can hold down the City! Without hesitation, Fog raced towards the battle. as he rushed through the city gates, ready to assist in the fight, Polaris was driven into the ground before him.
"Well, well, long time no see... FOG CARNE" Said Absolute catching a glimpse of this former Butler's son. Absolute lunged at Fog, Polaris shoved Fog out of the way, taking a full powered punch from Absolute for his former butler.
"What... if Fog is here... then where is....." stuttered a Knight. Fog's eyes widened as he realized what had happened. As he turned around, his eyes trembled in horror to find Polaris smashed into the wall. As pulled himself out of the wall, his Celestial form shimmered.
"Oh no..." Started Fog as Absolute lunged at his son. "He's used too much energy....."
The images running across Fog's glasses, seemed to move in slow motion, he closed his eyes, awaiting to hear the sound of his master's body exploding into visora and gore by hitting the wall. His head was pounding, he'd frozen up, and it was about to cost his master, no, his friend Polaris, his life. However, a large metallic bang was heard instead.... Fog turned and gasped, "Its them... they finally came..... just in the nick-of-time." The words escaped his mouth as he fully turned to face what was unfolding within the City Limits.
