[Newcastle upon Tyne]
With the sharp edged black rod conjured and wielded by Ethan, he dashes forth to stab Aggregor who's in a immobilized state caused by Kyle's root attack, having roots from beneath his feet risen and piercing into his body; each root binding onto the muscle and bone in his body completely restraining him in place for Ethan to stab the latter in chest, but as the rod draws near his chest the shard of the nexus engulfs the three individuals in a blinding white light, halting Ethan's attack.
[Battleworld]
"GLACIAL ARCTIC TYPE: ICE AGE..." Satoshi's incantation to boost its effectiveness on his adversaries that draw near him.
Satoshi: [His eyes turn completely bright white as a mist forms around everyone signalling that his attack is about to occur with frost emiting onto both Zeke and Aizen with the very ground beneath Satoshi's feet freezing up with small icicles emerging towards the directions around the user. As the process of the attack is in action, in the middle of this, the shard of the nexus begins to shine brightly in Satoshi's pockets catching Zyr's and Satoshi's attentions.]
[Satoshi thoughts]: "What the hell?" [Satoshi looks at his pocket in confusion.]
Zyr: [knowing exactly what the shard is doing Zyr extends one of his arms to shard but before he could even reach the pocket the shard has already emitted an even brighter light that engulfs everyone in the area.]
(NOW, in the battleworld)
Ethan: Tch-h... Huh? [Once the blinding light from the shard has stopped, Ethan opens his eyes to see Aggregor nolonger immobilized.] Shit! [He swings his weapon towards the direction of Aggregor's neck but both he and Aggregor get blasted back unintentionally by the cold air generated by Satoshi's attack.]
Satoshi's attack "Ice Age" covers the surface of 10 meter radius around him in frost with spikes of ice pointing outwards on the edges. Inside the radius both Zeke and Aizen are covered in ice rendering their movements.
Satoshi: Ha-Hahaaa! Get wrecked, losers! [He says before Zyr unfrozen by the attack quickly swings his arm back using his technique; both Zeke and Aizen get pulled out their frozen states]
Aizen: What..? What just pull me? Felt like a string attached to my back.
Aggregor: [Recovering after the blast, Aggregor dusts off the bits of frost from his body before looking at his surroundings which surprises him.] The... Battleworld? [He clenches his fists before sensing another shard or reality in his proximity, he exhales a cold mist before looking forward to see Zyr, Zeke and Aizen in the frozen area, he turns his sight to the person they fighting and he feels his heart drop for a second in utter surprise and dread.] Impossible... [He stares at the man dumbfounded that Satoshi has not only escaped the black hole but it seems he has defeated Ezra Darhk.]
Satoshi: Hmm? [He looks to his side seeing Aggregor and two other people, one of them unconscious and with no clothes.] 'Aaawww! You brought three more of your friends for me to slaughter?
Aggregor: [Hearing his comment, Aggregor had a confused look before smiling in realization of something that makes he laughs aloud, catching Satoshi's attention from afar.]
Satoshi: What the hell are you laughing at? [He looks at Aggregor with a raised eyebrow if curiosity.]
Zyr, Zeke and Aizen all stop fighting to see Aggregor, each one of them would react differently upon seeing him.
Zyr: I-It's... him... [He says in a furious and scared tone with his blood boiling for vengeance.]
[Zeke thoughts]: Shit... as if facing one asshole ain't bad enough, now we gotta face the damn Celestial of Light?!
Ethan: ZYR!! Aggregor has the shard! [He shouts outwards catching Zyr's, Aizen's, Zeke's and Satoshi's attentions all together.]
Aggregor: Hm... How fun. HOW FUN! [He says with excitement in his voice.] Not only do I get the chance to have two of the shards at once, I GET a bonus too, to kill two of Satoshi's offsprings exactly where I've killed him... [He softly chuckles into a maniacal laugh.]
[Aizen thoughts]: "Offsprings...?" [He looks at Satoshi and Ethan.] So the fake satoshi isn't a variation of any Satoshi, he's his son. but why lie? Is it to take his mantle as the strongest? Or to cause more damage to realities than he already has?
Zyr moves at an unimaginable speed towards Aggregor in attempt to deliver a punch that's caught head on by the latter's palm.
Aggregor: Oh, Zyr. Did you even give this attempt any thought?
Zyr: I did... DISABLE. [By saying the word Zyr's technique activates to remove Aggregor's motion successfully.]
Aggregor: !!
All that Aggregor can do is watch as Zyr's right fist gets coated in cursed power that he thrusts into Aggregor's chest launching him back and still going. Zyr and Zeke dash after the launched target at once, Zyr being 10 times more faster than Zeke, he reaches Aggregor ready to deliver another attack until Aggregor makes his move.
Aggregor: GATE OPEN MANIFEST: SAMSARA.[Saying the incantation of his ability; Aggregor gains the embodied power of the Samsara once held by the eternal Yoichi Ratin. His body emits a light that causes Zyr and Zeke to pull back from their attacks.]
Zyr: Huh?
Everyone stare in wonder at where the light is coming from before it vanishes to reveal Aggregor with a white glowing wheel that represents the cycle of life with its 5 slots that each represent; birth, life, death, rebirth and effects of time.
Zyr: Tch!!
[Ethan thoughts]: That wheel... Its the same one used in the tournament by that freak of nature he summoned! This... can't be good.
Aggregor: For having the will to fight... I'll treat you all good and show you all how advanced the deprimestate can be. [He grins.]
Zyr: Hm... depri- blargh!! [Zyr coughs out a large pond of blood before falling to his knees with blood in the sclera of his eyes as he feels each and every one of his organs failing.]
Aggregor: Ah, ah-aha. You had your chance to fight Zyr. Its now their turn... So... [He raises both his arms to each of his side with a smirk.] You ready gentlemen?
[Zeke's thoughts]: The great Celestial of Light. It seems he's at a weakened state, even the energy I'm sensing from him doesn't feel cosmic-like... oh, But that wheel... the wheel of samsara, must have taken a really good amount of energy to give yourself such a power, let alone with a technique nor meant to give god-like power. Unless... thats not the deprimestate!
[Satoshi's thoughts]: Damn, Is that really the wheel of life? With that still active everyone here is screwed... is what I would have said if his power wasn't lower than mine. By boosting my speed I could catch him off gaurd and kill him on the spot. [He smirks before a red misty aura of curse energy appears around his body.]
Seeing Satoshi ready, Zeke turns his glaze to Aizen who looks back at him with a nod before Ethan fires 3 high speeding black rods that appear to have teleported but are caught by Aggregor singlehandedly. Aggregor snaps the rods with a clench of his fist, Aizen uses his shapeshift ability to transform himself into weapon 6 wearing an entire tight fitting combat suit that hides his entire body with a black mask with black eye sized visors with red lenses for his head, black gloves and boots. After shape-shifting, Aizen dashes at a subsonic speed around Aggregor, creating a tornado around Aggreror, as he does so, Aggregor sees running afterimages of Aizen before the wheel hovering behind Aizen's back turns once. The tornado formed by Aizen quickly vanishes leaving him utterly confused by what's happening as he continues to run still trying to make the tornado, Aggregor generates a small orb of light infront of his chest with both hands before clapping them together onto the orb generating a shockwave around him that knocks Aizen away.
Flanking from behind Ethan launches 15 black rods that all successfully stab into Aggregor's body.
Aggregor: [Grunting in irritation he got hit by the rods, Aggregor turns around to look at Ethan] Tch... you persistent little... [Before he could finish his sentence, Zeke has warped one of his kukris stabbing into Aggregor's head from the right side directly into the brain.]
Zeke: Tch... ["That won't last." He says in thought.]
Satoshi: GLACIAL SURGE [With Aggregor now dazed after Zeke's attack, He places both palms to the ground creating a frozen pathway leading beneath Aggregor's feet, freezing his feet in place before spikes of ice lunge upwards piercing the latter's body.
The wheel turns 3 times which Satoshi notices before spikes of ice pops out of both his forearms coated in blood.
Satoshi: Tch?! [Screaming in agony Satoshi falls to knees looking down at the spikes piercing out his forearms he notices that the spikes have bits of his own bones in them.] Wait... these spikes... are... my bones?
Ethan: [He watched the icy bone spikes pop out of Satoshi's forearms shocking him.]
Aggregor swings his own right arm breaking off the ice spike that pierces it, afterwards grabs and pulls Zeke's kukri out of his head and roars with his eyes emitting light. His body creates an explosion of light that pressures the rods and spikes out of his body and launching them back around him. Both Zeke and Ethan dodge most spikes and rods heading towards them, having his curse energy imbued into the black rods Ethan has control over the rods as he levitates every rod he has created into the air, makes two rods levitate to him in which has immense curse energies stored within for him to absorb into his body charging up his own curse energy.
Aggregor: [Aggregor pants slowly and quietly as the wheel behind Aggregor loses its shape and light before vanishing after lack of curse energy remaining.] TCH?
Aggregor thoughts: My energy's depleted once more. [He looks at the rods Ethan grabs and senses his cursed power rising which then intrigues Aggregor.] Oh, I see now. The rods have the ability to drain the curse energy from others into, storing that power within for him to collect and use... This power now starting to be quite an annoyance to me. Not only can you USE any cursed ability, you can use the ability of the deprimestate aswell. But why the deprime? Brandon, Satoshi and Ezra couldn't even copy and or absorb the technique but you can. [He crosses his arms while deep in thought about why Ethan is able to do what he's does.]
Ethan dashes in on Aggregor with the rods he has levitating and charging and he delivers a straight punch that Aggregor effortlessly evades along with the rids while still thinking. Ethan continues to try hitting Aggregor who just casually evades every strike while unaware he's even doing so.
[Aggregor thoughts]: Hold on. Why do I even care about his power? [He successfully lands a right punch across Ethan's face that the latter endures before controling a rod to fly in to pierce his livwr while feeling slightly dizzy before continuing to try hit Aggregor who evades once before landing strikes to the latter every chance he gets with only his right arm. After evading 3 punches from Ethan, Aggregor grabs his neck and lifts him off the ground with his right hand and looks at him struggle to breathe] Is it maybe, because he's a descendent and I'm... excited to see him go all out? The thrill of seeing someone fight for a lost cause? Or is it because I'm intrigued by all of their existence in life? How light in their eyes fade into darkness as they relive their moments during the cold 7 minutes of silence. No, this... this one's different, not because his the son of that damned brat. His light. It reminds me of... my very own light I wish was never abused into what it is today. So full of life you are, so willing to fight no matter the odds, proud to honour a fallen legacy damned onto himself... A legacy I felt forever in the dark.
Raised and choking in Aggregor's grip, Ethan quickly teleports his body in place without moving, rotating his body upside-down having Aggregor grabbing his left leg instead of his neck. Now in the position his in Ethan thrusts a right punch into Aggregor's gut, making him let go of his leg, now onstead of falling down on his head, ethan places both his arms on the ground catching himself to use the moment to strike Aggregor in the head with an upward roundhouse kick however the kick gets blocked by Aggregor's forearm protecting his head. Aggregor smiles ready to attack the defenseless foe but get striked suddenly by a random force across his head dating him.
Aggregor: Tch... W-What?
As Aggregor figures out what just happened, Ethan gets back up and delivers a straight punch imbued with his cursed power into Aggregor's chest, on impact his curses energy flows out his fist onto Aggregor's chest essentially creating a second impact that causes Aggregor to spit out blood.
[Aggregor thoughts]: A... double impact and his strengths increased by each strike. Damn pipsqueak, you can do whatever the fuck you want... but why haven't you used your family's abilities? [He suddenly screams with an echo of as his eyes lighten up from regular dark brown to gold shining, his body forms its own yellow aura that generates a pulse that blasts Ethan back. A small sigh is made before Aggregor looks directly at Ethan with a crooked and spine chilling grin.] Time to take it up a notch, can you do that? I hope you can because this is me nolonger pulling my punches, sooner or later, depending on how good you making the fight, I'll show you all my triumph card.
[Ethan thoughts]: Damnit. Even after everything thrown at him, he still has something up his sleeves. He really is the strongest Celestial. [He clenches his fist looking directly at Aggregor fiercely.] I need to keep utilizing my cards simultaneously and if possible, make one from one of his.
"Hey, Your name's Ethan right?" Ethan turns his head to look at Satoshi with both forearms back to normal, at first glance Ethan had thought it was his father even when he heard his voice, he had nothing to say, he couldn't even ask if it was his father just abit younger with more hair reaching pass his neck.
Ethan: Y–yeah. Are... Are you...?
Satoshi: No [he replies quickly, knowing that what Ethan was going to ask.] The names Rhys. Let's show him what happens when he messes with the shinseiji.
