The sun sets in the Northern Sahara and the skin scorching heat seems not to wane.
On this extreme terrain ,a man wearing a body fitted black tuxedo and black skinny pants on black suede shoes is seen. His hair was brown and cut short and his irises appeared as though they were made of brown glass. He doesn't seem to be walking ,as his legs were 5 inches above ground ,he was floating. His eyes dart from end to end, he was searching for something.
"Why is it so hard to find. I wish I had Char's psychic gifts, how am I expected to find an object with a presence so feint in this wasteland...."
He suddenly stops speaking as he feels 2 objects flying toward him from the Northwest direction at very high speeds
"What could this be?"
As they get closer he realizes what they are and spits in disgust.
"Tsk! Heavenly dogs!"
With annoyance in his eyes he looks toward the direction they were coming from and sees them approaching like dots in the distance
"I guess it's a good way to pass the time. Tho I'm not supposed to be passing the time now"
Before long ,he begins to see them clearer until he could almost make out their faces; Ahgony and Vicissitude. He calmly stretches an open palm at them and they suddenly stop mid air. After holding them in place ,he uses a finger to gesture for them to come and they suddenly come flying toward him as if pulled by an unseen force. 6ft in front of him, they stop flying once more and he could see them clearly , expressions of frustration etched clearly on their faces. He chuckles once.
"Tell me, did you think you were going to land a surprise attack on me? Let me guess ,your plan was to try and get me down with your first attack so I won't be able to launch a counter attack, right?"
On receiving no answer, he laughs
"That was definitely your plan!" His expression immediately becomes serious
"However ,you didn't take into consideration the fact that before me ,all your power is useless"
Ahgony now almost boiling with anger that their plan was so easily guessed , suppresses this anger and replies gently
"Maybe. Maybe not" He looks at Vicissitude and they both nod ,then as if on cue, very bright lights begin to radiate from their body , immediately filling the area. Then almost as soon as it comes ,it goes , revealing both heavenly beings standing on their own , and This mysterious man standing before them.
Vicissitude couldn't believe it and he blurts out ,unable to hide his shock.
"It can't be! That light is gotten from pure heavenly energy flowing within us. There is no way a hellish creature like you could have experienced it and remain in one piece!"
On hearing this, the man laughs again and looks at them like they were irredeemably stupid
"Oh I know what that light is. It's supposed to completely erase any creature bathed in the darkness of the abyss from existence. I know it because I was once somewhat like you" Points an open palm at them
"Weak.... Foolish"
His entire body begins to release jet black aura which rapidly fills the area.
"I have seen the true light. Your light can do nothing to me now. And I will unleash this true light upon all realms"
Both angelic entities suddenly fall on their knees and Ahgony feels his chest get tight
"What.... Is .... This"
The man looks down upon them ,still releasing his dark aura
"I take it you don't know who I am"
Before he finishes that sentence , Vicissitude falls flat on his face almost lifeless
"I am the plague , the virus ,the vice which corrupts and destroys worlds. I am the one whose darkness eliminates all false light"
At this point , Ahgony also falls on his face.
"I am..... Holocaust"
