Polaris threw the Messiah down to his troops, only for those to catch him, to be liquified from the inside out. It took no time at all for the Messiah to realize the raw power of the Celestial he'd fought earlier wasn't the same. Ton plucked the bottle of vodka from Veldspar's hand and drank it, walking precariously on the top of the wall, drinking in energy from the religious zealots below. He laughed as he caused one to implode.
Polaris was busy making short work of the others. Slowly but surely making his way towards Bel. As Atrocity began to collapse, Bel lunged in for the kill only to find Polaris there healing his great-grandfather.
"Take in that energy. It'll heal you."
"B-be... C-car..."
"I know Atrocity." Said Polaris standing up. His back was turned to Bel as he stood up. He clenched his fists and turned to look at his ex lover.
"Polaris, I..."
"Spare me the bullshit. I do not care, and I told you what would happen if you ever came back here."
The Messiah landed beside her.
"Suppose I make her my queen and...."
"Stay out of this if you wish to continue being alive."
The Messiah grabbed Bel by the face and held her at down. "SHE IS MY PROPERTY! FUCK YOU!"
However, when the Messiah come off his power trip high, he shook with fear as Polaris had finally unchained his full power. Bel watched in horror as his ex lover used his body like a projectile weapon, ripping the Messiah apart, liquefying his insides, but ensuring he stayed alive to feel the pain.
"HOW DOES IT FEEL YOU PATHETHIC WORM! GODS ARE USELESS BEINGS! REVOLTING, UGLY MESS, RETURN TO WHATEVER CORNER OF YOUR PATHETIC RELIGION YOU CRAWLED OUT OF. I FEAR NO GODS NOR ANY MEN AS THEY ARE PATHETIC AND BELOW ME. I AM POLARIS SOL PRIMA, THE STRONGEST FUCKING STAR EVERY TO EXPLODE INTO EXISTENCE."
Polaris grabbed the Messiah and held him within inches of his face. The flesh of the Messiah's face began to burn and melt off.
"You will never lay a hand on another fucking person. You know, I do believe in killing the messenger, or in this case, a deity who can't keep to himself. As killing you, right in front of all of your soldiers, in the most brutal way, is a far more effective message than letting you live like this."
As the Holy Templars continued their attack, Ton watched as if this all was some big television drama.
"HOLY FUCK! ITS HAPPENING! WATCH WATCH!"
The Holy Templars looked up to see Polaris holding their god in one hand. King Fog stepped out to see the child he'd once served, hovering before a religious legion, friends and allies alike, drawing in power from Asmodeus and.....
"Well now..... my energy levels depleting.... What an interesting turn of events." Ton said watching his dark energy being pulled into Polaris. Polaris effortlessly crushed the Messiah's skull and incinerated his body.
"You are all alone. Your god was pathetic and weak. You all claim to be chosen by him, then your shall be chosen too by me, chosen to die in the most gruesome ways imaginable. Run you hides out of my city and I shall consider sparing a fraction of you. Leave our lands or become ruined corpses, baked to death by a star. I am your death, fight or run. You shall die all the same.
The Templars that had been once filled with courage, dropped their weapons. Looking around, Polaris had drained many of their energies, souls depleted leaving lifeless husks standing before him. Those who remained ran as fast as their legs could take them. As Polaris landed, he marched towards Bel.
"Please, I'm sorry! WHAT CAN I DO TO ATONE!"
The other heroes rushed to stop him, but he simply tossed them aside.
"Poor Polaris, unworthy of love. You told him to say that... Didn't you?"
Bel's eyes bulged in fear is his ex over stood over him. Polaris drew his blade ready to strike his former lover down. However, canisters exploded next to him. White Phosphorous jumped down and tackled him.
"SNAP OUT OF IT POLARIS!"
His eyes snapped back to the moment. "I-I was going to..."
"Aw what the hell! I was getting ready for the grand reveal.... shit. Oh well. Stephenson.... my old friend, ready to watch me corrupt the Elder's new toy?"
Stephenson was face first on the ground, unable to stand. "S-stay away... from him.....Ton....."
Ton lunged at Polaris, "GIVE ME THAT POWER!"
Proxima fired a bolt of energy knocking Ton away from Polaris. He was bleeding badly, and desperately in need of healing.
"We've got you... right everyone?"
"Right!"
"I appreciate all of you, but this is something I have to do. The Elder Stars and going to be here, and when the come, I'll have to explain all of this. But all of you, stay away from Ton, he can and will absorb your energy." With that Polaris leapt into the sky, ready to face an enemy far stronger than anything the world could throw at him.
"Come and face me Ton.... or do you fear death?"
Ton leapt up to him, hovering before him. "LET'S FIND OUT WHAT YOU'RE REALLY MADE OF.... HERO OF WILDERNESS AND KING OF THE STARS!"
As the Elder Stars and their guards arrived, the air above Wilderplains erupted into a series of explosions.
"What the hell is the!" Methuselah demanded.
"You must be the Elder Stars. Polaris said you'd all be coming."
"Yes we are. I am Methuselah, the head of the Elders. What the hell is going on?"
"Sir...." Said Proxima weakly.
"Proxima Centauri...."
"It's Ton.... He's after Polaris. He took down Stephenson."
Methuselah looked over to see the other heroes attempting to keep Stephenson alive. "Can you fight Proxima?"
"I'm banged up pretty bad, but I have power left in me, ya."
"Then get in the air. We have to help Polaris.... If Ton absorbs his power.... there will be nothing in the universe that can stop him...."
