Cage of the Shattered

Chapter 29

The final battle is coming to a close. Everyone was being drained.Negative had sustained a huge amount of damage that was beyondrecovery. With low stamina, Negative stood before them. The flamesaround Raijin were dissipating. His body was slowly dying. Blood drippedfrom all the other externals around. Wrath could only smile as he witnessedthe beauty in the chaos and experienced watching the greatest battle inhistory go down.Raijin pointed his sword at Negative. Katawaki and kayle and damianand Allen stood beside them in a row. The energies between them beganto mesh around them and fused into one. "This is where it all ends. "This isthe peak of humanity," Kayle says loudly."The final one," Katawaki mumbles.The aura's between them all. The area around them began to heat upquickly. Raijin pulled his sword backwards and took a dashing stance."It doesn't matter what you do. This is my destiny, my calamity. This isnow all about me. This is my world!" Negative says as he powers up.A burst of dark aura shot into the clouds and made the dark red skyeven more darker. Lightning shot from the clouds and ripped around theplanet. Shockwaves from Negative's pulsing Aura stretched across theplanet. Large cracks formed across the continent as if thousands ofearthquakes had gone off at once. With one more grin, Negativeunleashed a mighty roar, that of like a lion. Everyone on the planet couldhear the yell. Raijin filled the ground with nuclear fission flames that rose upinto the sky and formed that of a dragon's head. Everyone in the rowpowered up full potential with a roar of their own, the dragon headscreeched.Raijin and the group dashed forward. Damian created a forcefield ofgravity in front of the flaming Dragon's head. Blood leaked from Allen'shead and mouth as he formed the body and wings of the moving Dragon."Well damn!" William exclaimed seeing the dragon moving towardsNegative.The group of them got up and walked over to the edge of the ceaterto get a better look. Negative covered his fist with his blue nuclear fissionfire. Negative charge at the group.Dragonbourn and the other light users raised their hands into the skyand gave light energy to the flaming dragon. The flaming dragon's auragrew bigger. The ground beneath them was melting instantly. The five ofthem leaped into the air. Negative attempted a large punch. Negative'shand bent due to the rotating gravity and energy around the group.Katawaki used his wind to keep the flames from spreading too much.Simultaneously the five of them hit Negative in the stomach. Theirfirst dove deeper through the muscles, tearing it apart and melting it all atonce. Negative coughed up blood. Cracks filled with flames and energybursted from all directions throughout his body. Everyone else was inshock. As everyone else's body slowed down. Raijin and Allen pushedthrough using their flames behind them as thrusters. Negative's feet weredigging into the ground. Raijin's arm and Allen's were burning up. Raijinpulled his fist back. The flames of electricity and nuclear fission swirledtogether in a tornado-like formation.Raijin was subconsciously absorbing the energy from hissurroundings. Light and dark energy from Dragonbourn, Aaron merger,Spira's body, Postive's body and Apollo Lust. Damian warped the gravityaround Raijin's fist to make it heavier. With reddish blue and purple andyellow energy creating a vortex around his hands, Raijin slide's his feetacross the ground. Negative who was off balance and couldn't move couldonly look down at the boy below him. Raijin's speed was increasing."Defeat him, show no mercy," Solace's voice echoes in Raijin's head."Protect the human race. Push forward no matter what," Devontaesays in a whisper to Raijin."We all love you and your sacrifices. Make yourself known. Show offwho you are," Raijin's mother said."Prove your worth. Become the power you need to be. Defeat andaccomplish your goals," Deion's voice muttered in Raijin's ear.Raijin then cocked back his first and punched Negative in the face."No matter how bad it seems you can always find a way to bounceback when it matters most, and it's never mattered more than this Raijin,"Katawaki yelled."From the power within all of us!" Damian yelled."The fate that ties us all together," Allen says before falling to theground."End this monster who shouldn't have ever been created!," Aku yells."Respect from me to you. Give it all you have, like your battle againstme!" Rose yelled."Put everything you have into it!" Cadell urged him on. "This, righthere, in this moment, is all that matters."With the cries and cheers, Raijin hit Negative with all he had. Theforce of the blast sent Negative flying into the air. Raijin then flew acrossthe sky."Heat up. Maximum capacity, I have to do this. Just like that time inthe tournament. I'll raise my temperature and not stop," Raijin thought tohimself. He placed his arms and hands in front of him. Raijin fired thelargest Nuclear beam yet. Raijin let out his final battle cry. The beamexpanded several meters and engulfed Negative. The flame's temperaturewas rising every microsecond. The orange beam slowly faded to a brightblue and then finally the beam became purple. The light from the attackblinded everything. Like a spark shining across the planet. The sky lit upalong with everything else. It all became white for one second. Raijin andthe others poured all their energy into it. Negative was blasted to theground. Raijin who barely could feel his body fell back to the earth.Steam poured off of Raijin's body rapidly. His armor shatteredcompletely. His jacket and parts of his clothing burned away. Raijin's burnmarks were too deep and unhealable. Everyone gathered around Raijin.Raijin reopened his eyes. Negative stood up. Parts of his body weremissing. Blue energy like aura sprouted from the side of his face and body.Negative was steaming as he was sitting in a large crater. Negative climbedout and looked at all the eternals. Everyone gritted their teeth as Negativestill wasn't defeated."HAHAHAHAHA!" Negative laughed with a huge grin. "It doesn'tmatter. Even if I lose here, I'll be sure to end all of you right here and now. IfI can't have this planet, no else will," Negative says.Before anyone could do anything, Negative pressed his hand ontothe ground. The portal in the sky closed. The portal linked to the earth'score fused into it. The earth's core started to expand within the earth'scrust. Huge waves of bright orangish yellow energy bursted from theplanet. The earth's crust was cracking. The core was unstable. Energy shotthrough the planet. Billions of earthquakes and tearing filled the earth.Raijin stood up."What now?" everyone else mumbles to each other.Negative kept laughing until he felt a sharp pain through him.Suddenly a figure was standing behind him. Wrath impaled Negative frombehind with his hand."Did you really think I'd let you do all this? You were created from me.Made to do my dirty work. And you succeeded. This world isn't yours andnever would be. It's mine," Wrath says with a smirk.As Negative attempted to look back in shock, his body began tobreak down and was materializing. Wrath was absorbing negative's energyand essence. After a few moments, Negative turned to particles and wasnowhere to be seen. Wrath bathed in the energy."There's only one thing to do," Raijin mumbled as he limped forward.Raijin fell to his knees. Blood leaked out of his wounds. Raijin could barelykeep one of his eyes open. Raijin took notice of how much damage hisarms took from the last attack. His arms were burnt. His skin was peelingoff revealing his pink flesh. The others gathered around him. "You can'tcontinue this," Wotai muttered. "I gotta go," Raijin remarks. "Push forward,"Abel's voice echoed in Raijin's mind. Raijin sat up on one knee and thenstood up fully. Raijin's eyes were covered with his white hair. Raijin pushedhis hair back and looked up into the sky.He used the last bit of energy to levitate into the air. Raijin closed hiseyes and took a deep breath. Raijin concentrated as he turned his bodyinto a magnet. Due to the lack of normal energy in his body, his body hasno choice but to absorb the energy from around him. The earth's coreenergy kept bursting from underneath the ground from large holes. Theenergy from around the world began to swirl and enter Raijin's body. Raijincould feel the pressure and heat as it entered his body. The clouds abovehim were swirling. Everyone was amazed by this ability."Keep going!" Raijin thought to himself. The entire earth's core hadgone into Raijin. Raijin's aura was massive. His dark brown skin became abright yellow. His eyes were glowing white. Golden lightning strikes shot outfrom Raijin's body. His aura was expanding by the minute. Raijin couldonly scream from the pain and tried his best to keep his body together.Raijin had one goal in mind and that was to put all the energy back into theplanet to keep it alive. He could feel all of nature at once. The history ofearth. The feeling of the world being created years ago. He could feeleverything that had ever happened to earth. The very lifestream of earthwas going through Raijin's body. His mind was jumping all over the place.He attempted to focus on having dark energy surround his body and keephis body intact so the energy doesn't rip it apart. Raijin's body wastightening up. He became a bright light in the sky. Everyone around himshielded their eyes from the light. More energy was shooting up from theground and wrapping around Raijin's body. Wrath looked up and tooknotice of what was happening. Within a microsecond, Wrath stood beforeRaijin in the sky. Wrath then stabbed Raijin in the chest. Raijin was in shockas to what happened in a second."Finally, you die by my hands. Ghost. All the trouble you caused. Youthink you were the world's savior. This all started with you but it will endwith you. You brung me out of hiding. But I thank you for that. you were justan empty martyr. I'll be taking this now," Wrath says as his hand begins toglow in Raijin's chest.Raijin's consciousness and vision was becoming black. Wrathcontinued to absorb the earth's core with no hesitation. Wrath pulled hisbloody fist out. Raijin slowly fell from the sky."So this is it, I hope I made everyone proud. I hope I made you proud.Everything I did was for you mom," Raijin mumbled softly. I don't want todie. I'm too young. I know I have seen purgatory but I don't want to go. Iwanted a life. A family. A wife. I wanna live. I fought so hard for them. Ifought for the people of earth. My chest hurts. I feel everything leaving mybody. I'm going cold. I never said bye to anyone. Did I try too hard? Did Ireally think I was a superhero? This isn't right. I can't feel anything. I shouldrecover from this right? I'm not human. I got this. No, I don't. I'm dying.Someone save me. The world is going dark too fast. Mom, Dad, Sis," Raijinthought as he was falling. Raijin felt as if his body fell into the ocean. In hismind he was drowning. Blood poured from his chest. Everyone wasconfused as to what happened. Raijin reopened his eyes. He was in ablank space. Everything was silent. Raijin looked down to see a boy sittingin a chair. The boy had white hair and had purple and orange eyes. Theboy looked up. It was Raijin. A version of him. Raijin was confused as towho he was talking to. Before Raijin could say anything, he was cut off."You did well," the Raijin in the chair mentions. "I did well. I died," Raijinmentions. "You suffered much more than anyone else. Lived under terriblecircumstances. You should be proud. You never went insane. Youaccomplished your goals. We did that. We defeated deion. We defeated thebad guys of the world. You made yourself happy. You made yourself strongon your own," the second version of Raijin explained. The second Raijinvanished. A now taller darker man with black dreads was in his place. Theman stood up. It was Rajin's father, Deion. Deion placed his hand onRaijin's shoulder. "I'm proud of you," Deion says quietly. Raijin looks up tothe man in front. Tears began to flow from his eyes. Raijin quickly huggedtightly to Deion. Deion patted Raijin on his head. "As a parent it makes mesad that my child didn't grow to live a long life. But it's okay. Me and youcan go on a journey. Raijin began to wipe his tears. "You weren't somegeneric sheep that went to school, got a job and died going to work everyday only to be upset your whole life. You're a cool super human thatuncovered the biggest secret of life and showed everyone your strength,"Deion mumbled as he rubbed Raijin's back. The dark void had lit up. Agolden light opened from the ceiling and unleashed a spotlight on the two.The two began to float upwards towards the bright light. Raijin looked downand then looked up and smiled. Raijin's corpse slammed into the ground.His body was soulless.Wrath glanced downwards. He made eye contact with Apollo Lust.Wrath pointed his hand towards her. With Telekinesis, he controlled Lust'sbody. Her body levitated into the air until her body reached Wrath. He thenwrapped his hand around her neck. Lust grunted as Wrath's grip was tootight. She wrapped her hands around his arm to push off but it failed. Shewas stuck in place. Wrath started to absorb the dark energy from her untilshe was completely drained of life. Wrath then dropped her corpse to theground.His hair became black. Black markings formed on each side of hischeek. His red eyes began to glow. Red highlights ran down his hair.Wrath's body began to bulk up. He grew taller. The skin on his arms beganto harden and became red diamond like scales. A long red tail grew fromWrath's back. Two sets of large 10 inch horns grew from each side of hishead. A black cape made of dark energy materialized around Wrath. A redorb formed in the stomach of Wrath. His hands were covered in scales andgrew bigger. His fingers turned into that of claws. His feet bursted from hisshoes. His clothes burned away leaving a new black reptile-like scaledbody up to the neck portion. A large red marking wrapped around his neckthat looked similar to what Raijin had. A huge gust of wind covered theworld. A huge burst of red energy shot into the sky and caused the sky tobecome orange. Wrath slowly descended onto the ground. Everyone couldfeel the darkness and evil presence that Wrath presented. Wrath becamethe new demon king.
