Chapter 48 - A Star and His Celestial Counterparts

Polaris awoke to find himself alone in the cave. His body had recovered its strength, even if just barely. As he left the cave, there were two figures sitting just outside. 

"Who are you and what do you want?" Asked Polaris, raising his fists.

"Well now. It isn't everyday a star kills a black hole. To be fair, Ton wasn't even close to being on your level.... or should I say.... Our level."

The first figure ripped off his cloak. His body was a black void, a dark mist swirled around him. As he opened his mouth, his words spilled our in light and dark dual-toned voice. "Do you blame yourself?"

"...What?"

"For your inabilities of the past?"

"Of course, who wouldn't.... but more importantly, who are you?"

".....I am Phoenix Alpha, the black hole rival to the one you called.... Stephenson 2-18. The one off to my left, is Signis Delta, the only White Hole in existence."

"Have you both come to avenge Ton?"

"No." Started Signis. "We're here to join the one who killed Ton."

"Such a pain... that foolish moron..." Phoenix looked up into the sky, standing at a whopping eight-feet-tall, he cracked his neck and looked down to Polaris. "There is little time. Your friends need us. Come, we must hurry."

"I lack the energy to hurry. I depleted a lot of it with fission explosion."

"By the stars..... Signis... Energize him."

Signis slams his hands together and fires pure energy from his own body into Polaris. The energy arcs Polaris' body, his eyes flared into a hot blue fire long with his body. 

"Let us... Finish this battle... once and for all." The three vanished into the sky heading towards the coastline.

Meanwhile, White Phosphorus, Fog, and many of the citizens of Wilderplains had been engaged by Deities. 

"Fog, how are we looking?"

"....We are up against.... LITERAL GODS! HOW DO YOU THINK IT'S LOOKING!?"

"Fair. Any word on Polaris or the others?"

"No.. Powerdrive and two other heroes have been helping Kbar try to get communication from them. However, we won't last another day of this. These Gods have hammered us relentlessly...."

White and Fog were interrupted by KBar, Daytona and Powerdrive. "Hey! We managed to get in contact with everyone except Polaris."

"We need him here. He's the only one capable of killing these assholes. Proxima and the Elder Stars have been doing their best but...."

"They've done enough." Said Signis appearing before them.

"WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?!"

"Relax. I brought you help." Said Signis pointing up to the horizon. As they all looked over, Polaris and Phoenix locked their fists together, sending their collective energies through them as the flashed over the water. One of the deity's was about to stomp on the fighters from Wilderplains when the duo turned his head into a bloodmist. The hovered above the gods, looking down of their targets. 

"Signis, now isn't the time to make friends."

"Sorry, right. Whatcha need?"

"Give us both forty-..."

"Maximum output Signis."

Both Phoenix and Signis look at Polaris, but their expressions quickly change as Polaris had begun stacking his energy, skills and powers. 

"These so-called Deity believe they can trespass into our lands, rip apart our lives... So yes, give me all of your energy. It's time they learned their fucking place.... BENEATH THE STARS!"

Polaris crashed down into the center of the various gods encircling him. "GIVE IT TO ME SIGNIS!" He yelled as several gods rushed towards him. Signis took a deep breath as his eyes crackle open with white arcing energy. Under his breath, Signis muttered. "Go on.... King of the Stars.... Show me your true power..... Trespass into the Dominion of the Gods." Energy began rushed into Polaris. As the first wave of gods surrounded him, Polaris mercilessly ripped them limb from limb, golden blood pooling at his feet as the Heroes, Civilians, and bystanders watched. 

"What should we do?"

"Continue to exfil! We can help Polaris! Heroes, get your people to safety!"

However, the murder of gods didn't go unnoticed. The Elder God, oldest and strongest of the gods had begun his descent to the world below his realm. His arrival shock the very soil their world was built upon. 

"Uh... Polaris! TRY FOCUSING ON HIM!" Yelled Phoenix

However, as his feet touched the soil, his mere presence brought everyone to their knees, doubled over in excruciatingly, agonizing pain, or locked in a state of moral terror. Everyone that is.... except for Polaris. The waves of energy seemed to crash against him like waves crashing against a rocky cliffside. 

The Elder God stood before them all, gazing at each of the heroes, citizens, gods, celestials and finally Polaris. 

"For a time... I considered sparing your wretched existence... but now.... you shall witness.... It's dismemberment!"

Polaris fired off bolts of pure solar energy at the Elder God, but they bounced off of him. 

"Order of Wilderness! Fall back!" Yelled Polaris. 

"Polaris! We can win if we all fight together!"

Before anyone could speak, the Elder God growled out a frigid response to their heroic stand. 

"No.... No you cannot, will not ever win no matter how many you throw at me. For I am the GOD OF CREATION."

Polaris rushed before his troops and blocked a massive attack the cratered the landscape. The wind pressure along knocked down mountains, shoved the seas backwards, and splintered bone like toothpicks.

Everyone had been moved out of the blast radius, everyone except.....

"POLARIS!" Screamed White and Daytona. 

As the dust settled, the Elder God scoffed and began to walk away. However, a beam of brilliant light ripped through his shoulder.

"What in my name...."

"DON'T YOU TURN YOUR BACK TO ME!" came a screaming voice from the crater. The Elder God fired a plethora of projectiles and energy bolts into the crater. He stared at it only to take a step back as Polaris, bruised and dripping blood emerged from the crater. He clenched his fist at the Elder God. 

"I swear you insects are pathetic. Fine, if you truly won't roll over and die, I shall crush you, and make you watch as I kill everyone of your pathetic followers. MARK MY WORDS HERO.... TODAY IS THE DAY WILDERNESS PERISHES."
