Alphatale: A New Puppet Book 2: Catastrophic Destruction

Butterfly

As the announcements from King!Multiverse played in the background Loading and 404 had their battle, Loading and 404 going blow for blow the two staring each other down, each fighting for something valuable to them, all while the multiverse begins to steer in turmoil.

"I WILL HAVE ALPHATALE RESTORED!!" 404 screamed as he fired his dark blasters and used his blue mastery to throw various objects at Loading who dodged through them and avoided the blasters all together.

"No, I will see it that you and everything you've tainted and touched is eradicated from the history books!" Loading replied as he turned 404's blasters back into regular blasters and then creating a large black orb around 404 trapping him.

"You will be destroyed and broken down until nothing left of you exist" Loading said as he then threw the orb towards the mainframe pool "And don't even think of trying to break free, that is made out of pure dark energy and matter, nothing is breaking through that" Loading said as he watched the orb with 404 in it fall. 404 began to sweat as he looked at his hands and applied all of his magic and power to them, he then grabbed the black orb he was in.

"Then i'll just have to turn it into a matter i can manipulate" 404 said to himself as he then began to concentrate all of his magic around the orb, Loading then began to send more to the orb as it then fell into the mainframe pool, 404 looked at his feet and saw them beginning to deconstruct and breakdown "COME ON!" 404 shouted as he then began to glitch and reconfigure the dark matter and energy around into a tangible and movable matter he could use "Perfect!" 404 said as he then split the orb in half and jumped right out of the mainframe pool only to then get punched right into the bridge going over it by a giant black hand from Loading. Loading then summoned eight more and sent towards 404 who began to fly off into the air dodging and avoiding them, he turned around and used blue mastery to smash two of them into each other creating a large cloud of black dust and smoke.

"Fool, you think cause i can't see you, i can't sense you!?" Loading shouted as he looked around for 404 "What is this? why can't i-" but Loading was interrupted by a god ray to the back of the skull from 404 who was hiding behind some rubble, Loading hovered there paralyzed.

"Now here's the deal, i can kill you now and rip those code fragments from your corpse or i can let you go, you give me the code fragments and we both can walk away" 404 said in a exhausted and semi-kind manner

"Your showing me mercy? After all I've said and done? You really are a fool" Loading said before getting shot in the head with the second god ray shot from 404 "I told you" 404 said as he then walked over to Loading's depleting body and grabbed the fragments of Alphatale.

"Finally, after all these years here you all are, i can stop all this madness and finally just bring you back as intende-" but before 404 could finishe he was blow back by a large blast hitting him far back and sending him rolling towards the backwall "Hahahaha you really are a idiot!" Loading said as he then brought the Alphatale code fragments to him and stared at 404 with a large grin.

"You want these so badly? You really wanna save that precious au of yours? Well guess what?! No body gets what they want in this world,  the mainframe isn't kind to those who strive for something more then what they deserve or got. You're better off dyeing off like the rest of them" Loading said as he then looked at the code and began to crush it.

"NO WAIT STOP!" 404 screamed as he tried getting up

"Or what? You'll kill me?" Loading said sarcastically as he continued to crush the code fragments

"PLEASE I'LL DO ANYTHING!!" 404 screamed getting on his knees crying "Please...I'll give it back, just let them go...let my family...friends...c-chara...please let them go" 404 whimpered as he looked down with tears swelling up in his eyes.

"You should have kept your hands out of what wasn't yours" Loading said in a cold tone looking down at 404

"I-I...I didn't know...i was just a kid...pl..please" 404 begged 

"Well now you do" Loading said as he then crushed the alphatale code fragments into pieces dumping them into the mainframe pool, 404 looked on in horror as he knew he couldn't dive for them, they were gone, he had lost them all again. 404 looked down at the ground as his soul began to race faster and faster due to stress and mountain of other negative emotions filling his head until suddenly. 404's body jolted and he died from his soul being unable to take all of the sorrow his mind was weighing on it.

"...That was anti-climatic, whatever, what's done is done" Loading said as his hand began to reach out to 404's corpse, but then the mainframe pool began to act up and move sporadically like an animale "What the hell?!" Loading thought to himself as suddenly the mainframe then just jumped out of the hole in the ground and began to latch itself to 404.

"WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPEING!??!" Loading shouted as he flew away from what was happening, he then saw someone teleport into HQ.

"Hey sir i was wondering if we-WHAT THE FUCKING FUCK IS HAPPEING!?!?!" Error shouted as he saw the mainframe wrapping around 404's body lifting him up into the air.

404's skull then began to grow weird black veins and his jacket began to become more and more darker and finally large strange wing like things began to grow right out of his back with weird blue symbols and eyes on them. Error and Loading made eye contact for a moment before then getting hit with a large shockwave from 404's massive boost in magic and power his wings blocking out any light that would be coming.

"He's like a...butterfly?" Error said with a shaky sense fear in his voice
