Cage of the Shattered

Chapter 20

The group had taken a step back. Negative was in attack mode. Noone was sure of what to do. Negative's eyes were analyzing everyone.Negative suddenly moved his hand to the side and blasted Solace into thewall with an energy ball. Solace slammed into the wall in the air. Solacewas holding the energy ball back from touching his stomach. Raijinimmediately changed to his battle stance and charged with his sword. Lustand Devontae followed behind. Negative quickly glanced over. Smallenergy balls formed above Negative and then lasers shot from them andblasted Devontae and Lust in the wall behind them. Raijin swiped his swordand blocked the incoming laser attack by Negative. Raijin then jumped intothe air. Negative blocked the attack with a wall of energy. Raijin was caughtoff guard by the instant defense. Raijin was then blown away by a wave ofpressure. Raijin flew through several walls and ended up in anotherhallway. The others stood up and charged at the boy. Solace began firingbolts of lightning towards Negative. Negative looked up. His eyes began toglow as a light filled the light. Lasers shot out of his eyes. He blastedSolace who was still in the walls. The explosion shook the lab. Devontaecovered his hand with electricity and swung at Negative. Negative thencreated a protective barrier. Lust then jumped up above Devontae andblasted dark energy at the boy. The barrier blocked that attack beforecracking. Raijin wrapped himself in lightning and dashed across thebuilding slamming his sword into the barrier causing it to break. The boywas repealed back by the force. Negative unleashed another eye laser andcaused a small explosion in front of them. Parts of the flooring blew acrossthe lab and crashed into the group and the machines around them. Parts ofthe ceiling began to collapse. Raijin dashed towards Negative. He beganswinging the sword. His sword sliced through several computers. Negativethen caught the blade with his hand. Raijin then encased the sword withelectricity. Negative had no reaction to the attack. Similar lightning wrappedaround Negative until it wrapped around Raijin's sword and electrocutedhim. Raijin was stunned by the attack. Negative stepped forward andpunched Raijin to the ground. Negative stood above him. Negative had littleto no expressions. Negative then raised his fist back and focused gravityaround it. Raijin noticed how familiar the attack was. It was the same attackRose did in the finale of the World Martial Arts tournament. Negativeslammed down his fist and caused a wave of debris to blast in alldirections. Raijin was sent flying into a nearby wall. Devontae charged atNegative and held his hands out to shoot lightning at him. SuddenlyDevontae's eyes opened up further. Nothing was coming out this time. Hehad used up all of his electricity. Negative glanced over and pointed hishand. He fired a yellow energy blast at Decontae. Devontae was caught offguard before being shoved to the ground. He looked up to see Solacesmiling as he was hit by the blast. The blast took a chunk out of Solace'sstomach and side. Solace crashed onto the ground. After a few seconds,his body became lifeless.Devontae was in shock. Lust teleported and attempted to kickNegative from behind. Her foot did no damage and he didn't budge fromthe attack. Suddenly a large tree root shot up from the ground and wrappedaround lust. She screamed and panicked. The tree root then slammed herinto several tables that had computers on it. Raijin stood up and wasblasted away by an eye beam. The explosion shock wave blew everythingaround and sent Devontae flying backwards. Several more tree rootsbursted from the ground and slapped Devontae into a wall and began tohold him in place. Raijin stood up and sliced parts of the tree roots in half.Raijin then activated his nuclear fission and placed his hand on the ground.Flames erupted from the floor as it shot at Negative. Negative activated adefense barrier. Raijin ran towards Devonate and jumped over all theenergy blasts Negative was firing at him. Raijin then slid on the floor andsliced the tree root that held Devontae. "Thank you," Devontae says beforecoughing. Negative did not move. Only his eyes were following themovements of everyone. "I'm out of power," Dontae says as he stands up.Raijin holds out his hand and forms a ball of electricity in it. Devontaegrabbed it out of his hand and began to eat it. Devontae's eyes began toglow red with red electricity emitting from his aura. Raijin Dropped hissword. He began to clear his mind. He channeled the energy he felt fromthe dark dimension around him. Raijin's body was going to shift into a newtransformation. With the body of that of a creature who lives there. Raijinwas adapting his body to use speed. His new form would be called Stigma.Unlike his ruined state that destroys everything in its path, raijin hascomplete control. He still retains small antlers. rather than focusing hispowers for attack, this form allows him to become much more flexible andagile, using speed to his advantage while keeping his basic strength. Hisbones become a new type of material that bends in his body. his hands andfeet become enlarged as he now just walks,crawls and runs on ceilings andwalls. In this transformation, he specializes using his Electricity/ lightning.Raijin Leaped on the ceiling and launched himself with electricity. Hismovements were too fast for Negative to pay attention to. Negative wasthen tackled to the ground. Devotee leaped in the air and blasted his redlightning. Negative blocked the attack with a barrier. Raijin thenmaneuvered around Negative and kicked him in his back. Raijin boostedhis speed further with his electricity and twirled around him and kicked hisface. Negative was off balance. Devontae then roundhouse kickedNegative in his side. The boy groaned for a second. Raijin jumped aboveNegative and swung his leg down. The kick knowed Negative forwardbefore being upper cutted into a nearby wall. Raijin and Devontae chargedhim at once. A tree root bursted from the ground and slapped both of themthrough the building. The lower half of the lab was collapsing. Negativestood still and raised his hand into the sky. A giant red energy spherewarped into his hands and then stretched out. The laser shot through theupper floors of the lab and then bursted from top of the building into the sky.The energy beam went on for thousands of miles. Negative then swung hishands downwards and sliced the building in half. Raijin flipped over thelaser until he landed on all fours on the ground. Devontae barely managedto move out of the way of the attack. Before Raijin could move, Negativeteleported in front of him and grabbed Raijin by the throat and slammedhim into a wall. The walls and floor around the building shattered. Negativeglanced over and blasted Devontae down another hallway with his eyelaser. Lust charged her hand full of dark energy and rushed Negative.Negative turned his head and created an energy barrier and blocked theattack. His eyes began to glow once more. A huge gust of wind pressurelaunched Lust back deeper into the labs chambers. Raijin then kickedNegative off of him and blasted a wave of flames at him. Negative placedboth hands in front of him and tried to resist the blast. Negative feet beganto dig into the metal flooring as he was pushed back into the room. Raijinthen blasted a lighting bolt with the other hand. The bolt struck Negative inthe stomach as it repealed him backwards. Negative had lostconsciousness for a moment. His eyes rolled to the back of his head. Theboy was standing still. Raijin wasted no time in activating his nuclearfission. Raijin fused his feet with electricity and launched himself quicklydown the hall. As the orange liquid poured off his hand Raijin created a fistand swung at Negative. Negative regained consciousness and caughtRaijin's hand. Negative then caught his other hand. The two hands wereinterlocked with each other. The two began to push. Raijin felt somethingdifferent in Negative. His posture and body felt different. Negative'smuscles began to bulk up. His legs began to expand and his body startedgrowing. Negative was no longer short and became the same size asRaijin. Raijin was shocked at the evolution taking place. Negative hairbecame spikey. His hair began to grow longer. For the first time, Negativeshowed an expression. His mouth formed a creepy smile. Flames began toform off of Raijin's nuclear fission as it began to wrap and twirl into abackwards tornado of flames around Raijin's arm. Negative smirks. "Sothat's where that ability came from, I was wondering since it wassomewhere in my deep subconscious until now", Negative says with a lowcrisp voice. Blue liquid began to pour from Negative's hand. Raijin's eyesopened up further. The same flames formed from Negative. Negative alsohad the same ability as Raijin. Nuclear fission. The two heat pressuresclashed together. Negative was not the same person. He was older andcould think clearly. All of his memories had reorganized itself. "I quite dolove my powers. Now I must do what I was designed to do!" Negative saysas he overpowers Raijin to the ground. Devontae made his way out of therubble. He walked over to Negative and Raijin. Raijin reached over andgrabbed his sword by it's handle. Negative then grabbed Raijin by thethroat and hit Devontae and pulled him by the arm. Negative drug the twoand flew upwards and broke through the lab and flew into the sky. Negativethen created a portal from the dark dimension to earth. Negative flewthrough the portal with the two and left lust behind. Raijin and Devontaewere confused as they were flying through time and space at high speeds.Negative arrived on earth. As they popped out of a portal in waterbridgecity, Negative then threw Raijin and Devontae into nearby buildings.Negative continued to fly up into the air until he was nearly at cloud level.Negative raised his hand into the sky. A large black portal formed abovehim. A large wave of energy shot out from the portal in all directions. Thesky became a dark red. The ground on the earth's crust began to breakapart. Parts of buildings began to crumble and float in the air. The sky gotdark. Large hurricanes and tornadoes immediately began to form aroundthe world at once. Clouds from all over formed above the cities. Constantlightning strikes began to shoot down from the sky and break throughbuildings and trees. Cars began to float in the air as gravity has beenaltered. The portal was connected to earth's core. Negative began to baskin the heat and energy. Negative was growing stronger. "So it's time now,"Wrath says with a smirk as he looks into the sky.Devontae was unconscious. Negative was still floating in the style.Raijin recovered. Raijin looked up into the sky. Raijin charged his handswith electricity and fired hundreds of lightning bolts in the sky. Negativecreated several energy barriers between Raijin and Negative. "Well thatwon't do anything," Raijin mumbles to himself. Raijin then stomps on theground, forcing his sword to shoot up in the air as he catches it and swingsit back. He then gets in battle position and launches himself off the ground.Raijin flew through the air at high speeds. He then flipped and pointed hissword downwards. He then crashed into a negative and crushed him intothe ground. The barrier between Negative and Raijin grew to the size of theentire state. Raijin's sword couldn't penetrate through the barrier. Raijinflipped into the air and blasted three thunderbolts into Negative's energybarrier. Negative warped the lightning into a sphere. Raijin was caught offguard when his lightning exploded on him. Raijin was sent flying throughseveral buildings as the street broke apart further. Raijin was leaningagainst a wall of concrete. Raijin looked up as a large halo ring of energyformed above him. Raijin grabbed his sword and leaped out of the way. Ahuge energy laser blasted through the earth. Raijin sl backwards across theground and sliced apart all the incoming debris. Negative then fired a hugeenergy blast across the city. Raijin fired up his nuclear fission and fired hisnuclear beam towards him. The collossion created a huge ball of light thatexploded. The shockwave blew for hundreds of miles. The initial wave ofheat melted everything around it. The gust of wind from the clash sent eachother further back from each other. Raijin stood up and charged towardsNegative. "You're still coming at me!" Negative says with a shockedexpression. Raijin began swinging his sword around attempting to hitNegative. Negative began dodging and blocking the attacks with his barrier.Raijin managed to slice through Negative's chest. Negative's eyes began toglow as Raijin was sent flying from the explosion of his eye beam.Raijin raised from the ground. "I'll put everything I have into this!"Raijin says as he holds out his hands. Orange liquid poured from his handsand warped into a sphere. A huge orange nuclear beam shot from Raijin.The blast annihilated all the buildings and roads in the way. The beamengulfed the entirety of waterbridge city along with the entire state. Thebeam was miles long and incenterated many cities and lands. Corpsesfrom all the people who already died were turned to ash. Most people werealready in a safe shelter underground. Raijin poured all his dimensionalenergy that he gained from the dark dimension in the blast as well. Hisbody was nearly completely drained from everything. Smoke filled the area.Raijin fell to his knees. No one else was left. Everything in front of Raijinwas gone. Negative has tanked through the attack. Negative walked overand stood in front of Raijin. "Quite strong," Negative says as he points hishand at Raijin. Raijin could barely see as his vision was nearly black.Suddenly Negative was pushed and stabbed through the arm with a sword.Raijin noticed a boy who he had seen before. It was Genesai. Thesupposed son of Wrath. He had protected Raijin before on the tournamentisland. Genesai swung down his golden sword. Negative was hit a nearbybuilding. Genesai charged up his blade with light. A light beam was shot atNegative. Negative blocked the attack with a barrier. Genesai slammed thesword into Negative as he was crushed under the sword's weight. Negativeteleported behind Negative as negative focused gravity around his handand used planetary crash on Genesai. A huge tremor echoed throughoutthe land. The ground ripped apart. A sinkhole was being createdthroughout the state. Negative fired his eye beam at Genesai. Genesaiabsorbed the attack with his sword. Genesai then blasted Negative backwith his golden energy. Genesai dashed with his sword and impaledNegative's leg. Negative gritted his teeth as blasted Genesai into the airwith air pressure. Negative placed his hand over his leg and began to healit. Ice shards formed around Negative and shot directly into Genesai'sbody. Blood spilled out of his mouth as Genesai's organs were pierced. Theboy's body crash landed back onto the ground. Negative then pickedGenesai up by his hair. He placed his hand on his stomach. Negativeactivated his nuclear fission and burned his hand through Genesai's chest.Leaving him lifeless. "That was easy," Negative says. Negative's arms andleg muscles began to bulk up once more. The earth's core energy that'sbeen pouring out from the portal in the sky, Negative, had been constantlytaking its energy the whole time. Negative levitated in the air. He was backin the sky. He then rained down energy blasts. Giant nuclear sizeexplosions swept across the earth and leaving everything ablaze.
