Chapter 14 - Chapter 14: Uprise

[Universe 1783]

In this universe, Aggregor has been freed by the twelve year old boy... Satoshi who Aggregor possessed and began destroying the planet. On the 13th day, Nazira Yakane-Shinseiji and Aizen Shinseiji have been accussed and sentenced to death for birthing the vessel of Aggregor.

Day 31 hours before the destruction of the world. Nazira stands in court infront of the three Celestials; Kaori, Elknoe, and Linity.

Elknoe: Nazira Yakane. What was your true intentions on... giving birth to your son?

Nazira: (She doesn't answer him.) ...

Elknoe: Is it to... give Aggregor a vessel to use to destroy the universe?

Nazira: ...

Elknoe: Answer your superiors, Wraith.

Nazira: I had no intention on giving birth to a Vessel for Aggregor. I just... I just wanted a son.

Kaori: But you did have a son before this one, one that YOU left to be alone in the spirit world.

Nazira: To grow without me... to protect him... from you all.

Elknoe: Protect him?

Nazira: Yes. You all would have USED him... as a battery, A WEAPON TO KEEP RULE OF THIS UNIVERSE AS IF YOU ALL GODS.

Elknoe: We are gods! Have you forgotten that it was us that helped bring peace into this universe!!

Nazira: Helped? No you didn't help. WE ALL WERENT THERE TO HELP! We only made it all worse! By ruling and interfering with every species lives!

Linity: hm... Aggregor and Nyx thought the same way. And look what has happened to them Nazira.

Nazira: Yeah... We all betrayed them.

Linity: No. THEY betrayed life.

Nazira: You all left Nyx to die!

Elknoe: It was an endless void! He chose to stay behind to close off the void, you would have known that if you were there!

Nazira: Oh right... you and Aggregor were there (She chuckles) the two "true" celestials of us all... how do we know that You didn't just leave Nyx to die just so you can be at the top of everyone else. You know now that I think about it. Nyx was higher in rank than You and Aggregor. After his death It was Aggregor and after his prisonment... its you. And ever since you got top place the universe hasn't been filled with peace only chaos and fear.

Kaori: (In a hurry, She got up and walked out the court while hyperventilating.)

Linity: ... (She looks to her side at Elknoe, now feeling suspicious of him.)

Elknoe: (He smirks before exhaling and tilting his head to the side as he looks at Nazira coldly) You chose to leave your role as a Celestial. Father let you do what you wanted, gave you freedom, don't forget that it was Him who made me the higher up even before Nyx's death and it was me WHO MADE US ALL GO FROM BEING THE ETERNALS TO CELESTIALS! Don't try to make it seem as if I am the cause of all this when it is you that caused all this by deciding to give birth to the vessel of Aggregor the same vessel that you and your spouse abused physically and mentally.

Nazira: (She clenches her palms into fists as she feels remorse.)

Elknoe: I didn't... I didn't want to do this.

Nazira: Hmm?! (She looks at Elknoe with her eyes wide.)

Elknoe: Elknoe extends his left hand as he uses his telekinesis to raise Nazira off the ground and chants an unseeable/inaudible sentence, and finishes his chant with one word "Close")

Nazira: (She falls to the ground and feels a sudden change in her body. She looks up at Elknoe, who then explains to her what he has done.)

Elknoe: I've now made you into a singularity in existence. You will be the first and last Nazira Yakane Shinseiji in the nexus.

Nazira: Why does my body....

Elknoe: I've cursed you to be forever locked into this planet in exchange for you no longer have power. No, are you a wraith.

Nazira: (She laughs)

Linity: Whats so funny Nazira?

Nazira: Nothing... a Celestial like you won't understand...

Elknoe snaps his fingers opening up a portal from below Nazira, sending her away from the court.

Elknoe: (He sighs)

Linity: Aggregor's right...

Elknoe: About what.

Linity: Everything... (She says with tears in her eyes.)

[Back to the current situation where Morro's colleague Drags both David and Raziel's body by their arms to one of the gaps to them over.]

Morro: (he exhales) We so close... I can feel the Barin-Lorn's energy...

Nathan walks out the portal Raziel made long ago and he fires a blast of energy to the colleague causing the colleague to let go of the arms and evade the blast by leaping over to Morro's side.

Morro: argh... just great. THE GREAT SON OF EZRA DARHK... Its been quite a while since you and I met.

Nathan: Not in a mood for chit chat.

Morro: hm... Neither am I kid. So tell you what... You can have the shard... and your... what is he your brother? Grandson?

Nathan: Grandson.

Morro: Hm... I almost forgot you grom THAT era. (he chuckles before sighing)

Nathan: If you not looking for the shard aswell... What are you doing here?

Morro: Well THAT... is none of your concerns Darhky.

Nathan: Darkness brainwashed Nearly the whole Zx. Including my father. Darkness is the reason my father nolonger with us so you wrong... it is my concern.

Morro: (He licks the insides of his bottom lip before making a closed mouth smile as he realizes something) You not here for the shard... Are you. (He stops smiling and instead looks at Nathan with coldly with his head tilted.)

Nathan: Yeah.

Morro: hm... Look kid I don't wanna kill you... or them. I mean look at them. They still paralyzed. And there is a bigger fish than wanting revenge... on an entity that you could NEVER... beat.

Nathan: I've faced my father once. Wielded the sword of infinity. Crossed out into the...

Morro: Yeah yeah yeah... I know your story Kid. (He points to the only pathway that's cutoff from the center light source powering other realms.) Darkness is in there. The only reason he "brainwashed" your friends and father Is so they break. Him. Out. And deal with what's currently happening with the nexus.

Nathan: How'd he even get in there?

Morro: Well kid... That's what I wanna know.

Nathan: Wait you not... being controlled by him?

Morro: Of course not. He only guided me here.

Nathan: What if he's trapped because he's evil.

Morro: Oh come on kid.... OPEN YOUR EYES! Your father, Jack Drake, Gabriel Kelly AND... the worst of them all... Satoshi Shinseiji all became eternals... before stepping up into becoming Celestials of hopes, times, light and CHA.OS.

Nathan: So?

Morro: You not so bright are you... Linity was hope and decided to make your father the new embodiment of hope. Then there was one of time Jack Drake becomes the new embodiment of it, then came light which is Aggregor and Gabriel Kelly... Became that Celestial....

Nathan: ...Wait Is that why he chose Him in the battle world?

Morro: What?

Nathan: Aggregor... there was a Battle world similar to the one you made. Gabriel died in it and... Aggregor began possessing the body.

Morro: ... Oh... if that's the case... then Darkness... NEEDS to get out of that realm Nathan without darkness... We ALL lose.

Nathan: ... Darkness... has terrorized my world... for 25 years.

Morro: I know.... I was there. It was my world too. (He chuckles) Possessed your father... became Darksmoke... (he chuckles again) and conquered the planet. But this... isn't your world anymore. We all in a new omniverse where light... is the one that's evil. And you know it. You've seen it.

Nathan: ...

Morro: So what do you say... Nathaniel... wanna help free the Celestial of Darkness?

Nathan: ... No... (Nathan extends both palms forward onto one anothe firing a large red colored beam of energy to Morro and his colleague.)

Morro steps forward with his palm extended creating a forcefield to fend off the beam but shatters instantly upon contact, the impact blasted the two back, Morro to the gap where he now hangs on with one hand and the colleague still on the pathway with his back on the ground. The colleague gets up and tears off the hood off to reveal his face. Morro gets up from the edge.

Nathan: Bringing a source of darkness into a world already filled with chaos... Is just too much. (He conjures a red blade of energy around his left palm.)

Morro: Get to the center Hān. I'll deal with them.

Hān nods before running down the pathway.

Nathan: Tch?! Oh no you don't! (He attempts to fly towards Hān but Morro generates a invisible burst that blasts Nathan back crashing onto the pathway.)

Raziel's finally able to move his body but feels a numbing sensation in every section of his body. David now only able to move his fingers and mouth.

David: Raziel... Get... that bastard.

Raziel inhales the air, closes his eyes before performing the "sanctional cut" attack with the Rakshasa claw; executed by sliding forward before appearing infront of Hān with his back turned away from him, The blade of the Rakshasa claw is stained with Hān's blood that drips down from it, Raziel Opens his eyes, turns his head and watches as a vortex of purple cursed energy spawns in on Hān in which blue glowing slash effects appear slicing Hān's body entirely. Raziel's eye widens up In surprise after seeing what he thought to have been Hān Sparrow his target to have been an after image created when Hān began his run. "TCH! WHERE'S...?" Before Raziel could even finish his sentence, he felt and heard Hān appear behind him, he turns his sight to the side seeing Hān thrusting his broad sword to pierce his back but Raziel quickly Teleports away from the position and to a newer position next to Hān. He swung the Rakshasa claw and Hān quickly reacted and swung his broad sword. Their blades collide with sparks from the clash. Raziel had a look of utter disbelief. Hān pulls his blade back after the clash and thrusted the blade forward, Raziel holds his katana with both hands one on the back of the blade and the other on the handle to block the tip of Hān's strike. Upon the tip of Hān's broad sword making contact with the groove of the Rakshasa claw, the impact caused the metal of the Rakshasa claw to get heated emitting light in an instant while also pushing Raziel back sliding 20 meters back.

Nathan rushes in to help Raziel but gets struck by a beam of ice created by Morro freezing Nathan in a running motion. Raziel looks at the groove section that's heated up on the Rakshasa claw which confuses Raziel on why after years of facing and clashing against most blades, this one making his blade heat up and not shattered.

Raziel: No other weapon has ever survived clashing the Rakshasa claw. Let alone heat up its metal.

Hān: This is no ordinary weapon wraith. It's created from my own soul to be the reflection of my power and soul.

Raziel: heh... Mine too. (He smiles and chuckles) Let's see who's blade shatters first shall we?

Hān tilts his head to the side with a smirk as he extends his arm pointing the tip of the broad sword at Raziel. Raziel was about to dash forward but got taken by surprise by Morro who freezes Raziel on the spot.

Morro: Tsk tsk (He shakes his head as he walks up from behind Hān to stand next to him) As much your battle would have been entertaining to see... We still got a job to do. (He pats Hān's back) Let's go. (He then walks forward, walking pass Raziel and onward to the center that every pathway to each realm leads to except for the one that's cut off.)

Hān: (He grunts before following after Morro.)

After some time, Hān and Morro reach the Center and see a shard of the nexus in the beam light that just goes straight up with no end. Morro took closer perspectives, feeling the immense heat from just being near the floating shard.

Morro: (he takes a few steps back and smoke appears radiating from his clothes; a result from being close to the beam of light.) Interesting...

Hān: What?

Morro: It seems the cause of random lands and beings appearing in different realms is the shard blended in with the light. And because they are two very different things not meant to be one every realm connected to the light are affected.

Hān: Hm... That seems like a problem only these clowns to handle not ours.

Morro: Indeed! (He pats Hān's back) Now I see why the dark chose you. (He chuckles before looking at the dark pathway that's cut off from the center.) He enhanced your power... I think it's time... you use it.

Hān: (He walks up to the edge, extends his left arm forward, Sand runes of time surround his arm and wrist with a circular mandala of time in his hand. Hān turns his hand on the mandala anti clockwise, reversing the time only around the pathway recreating the exact pathway in full connecting the pathway to the center and causing the light to light up the pathway and open up the wormhole to the realm.)

Once Hān has fixed the pathway a male appears inside the wormhole walking towards them. David appears leaped unto the air above them his eye glow a bright red color as he fires a beam of energy from both hands down to the pathway destroying the entire pathway, shutting the wormhole once more.

Morro: Nooo! (He shouts outwards before he senses something incredibly unexpected. He looks at where the wormhole was and sees a figure in the darkness, he tries to see if what's really there before gasping and kneeling on one knee with Hān.) It's him...

David lands infront of them and looks at the silhouette of a person, he clenches his fists before he hears his own heart beat, he feels paralyzed in fear from the presence of the person standing infront of them.

David: This... This presence...

Narration: After being imprisoned for millennia, The darkness emerges.
