Cage of the Shattered

Chapter 30

"Before life, Comes death. Before unity, comes separation. Beforestrength, is weakness. Before I came into existence, there was nothing. Iam that creation. I have become god. I am everything. I am life itself. I amthe one who creates the rules now. I am the one who enforces the rules. Iam the one who can destroy. I am the one who can create. I, Xvavion, thepurest man on earth have now shown the world my wrath. But now, theuniverse needs to hear it. Feel it. Fear it. Witness the changes that areabout to be made. This is what it means to be king," Wrath says with hishands in the air. Wrath opened his eyes. He looked down at his new bodyand inspected his new claw hands and feet. Wrath then glanced behindhow to see his new tail wagging in the air. Wrath slowly descends to theground. The externals were still grieving over Raijin's death. An immensepressure emitted from Wrath. Wrath smirked. Those with stamina still leftstood in front. They had no idea just how strong Wrath actually was. Theplanet was dying. What was left of the earth's core was going out of whack.The gravity fields around earth had dissipated.Allen and Aku were in shock at what they saw. "YOU DAMNBASTARDDDDDDD!!" Allen yelled out as Allen flew up and got bitchsmacked across the face and Allen slammed into the ground as Aku thenflew up with his lightning speed and got behind Wrath as Wrath anticipatedit and kicked Aku in his stomach from behind while Aku was gasping for air.Wrath then grabbed Aku by the face and blasted him as Aku slowly cameback down to the continent that Negative once made. Allen then quickly gotback up and rushed Wrath again but Wrath laughed as the wind pressureblew Allen back."What should I do?" Allen said as Wrath didn't give him a chance tothink as he got behind him and kicked him in his back. Allen then fell downas he rolled over and shot a fire beam at Wrath but that didn't affect him atall and Wrath then grabbed and tore Allen's arm off while Wrath stepped onhis stomach. Allen passed out from the pain.Phaedra moved forwards along with William and Sapphire. The threeof them stormed Wrath together giving it all they had. Phaedra constructeda beam of pure dark energy hitting Wrath in the center of his chest. Williamfollowed by throwing debris at him, the bigger the better. "This is it, huh?"Wrath barely moved. "For Ciel." Sapphire said standing next to William. Henodded in agreement and threw a boulder at Wrath. Sapphire shapeshiftedinto a creature she saw before and ran straight at Wrath. Wrath dodged herattack and threw her to the side. Phaedra's beam's intensity lowered seeingher friend get hurt causing Wrath to seize the chance. He moved over toSapphire dragging her in her trex like shape. He threw her towardsPhaedra and William. It hit them, draining the last of their energy causingthem to lay there motionless.Dragonbourn extended his blade. His sword was filled with lightenergy. The boy pointed the sword at the man in front. A huge light energyfilled laser shot from the end of it. The beam decentigrated into particles themoment it reached a few inches away from Wrath's body. Wrath thensmirked. A huge gust of wind blew everyone backwards. Wrath took a fewsteps forward. Dark energy covered the earth. The energy was enough todissipate Dragonbourn's light aura."How are you this strong?" The boy said angrily.Dragonbourn rushed towards Wrath. Dragonbourn leaped into the airand swung his sword downwards. The sword shattered into pieces as it hitWrath's Aura. Wrath pointed his hand at Dragonbourn's chest and blastedhim away with his pressure. Dragonbourn rolled across the ground and flewinto several rocks. Dragonbourn then fired several strings of goldenlightning. The electricity bounced off of his body. The ground began torapidly shake again. The world has officially came to an end. Dragonbournfired several more light beams that completely bounced off of Wrath's aura."Wrath!!! I swore I'd make you pay!!! So get ready because here Icome" Kayle yelled powering up even further his red hair getting darker histail getting longer and his horns getting larger"I'm gonna make you pay for taking over my mind and making mehurt my friends, turning me into your little experimental guinea pig, you'regonna regret unleashing my full power, I swear I'm gonna make you grovelat my feet, I swear!!!!'' Kawataki yelled, charging with Kayle, both of themunleashing all their suppressed rage.Wrath merely chuckled, Kawataki unlocked all of his elements at thesame time he shot 3 waves of each element at Wrath and in the smokeKawataki managed to advance and wrapped his body in earth and shotmissiles out of it hitting Wrath point blank, Wrath merely walked through itand grabbed Kawataki's head and threw him crashing him through severalbuildings Kayle let out a roar of rage and pulled both of his swords out"Hellfire: Demonic Ultimate Dark Combo!!!" Kayle yelled his swordswrapped in dark magic infused with hellfire and his demonic powers anddid a 50 hit combo on Wrath each hit exploding when making contact withWrath.Through the smoke came Kawataki his left foot in ice and his rightfoot in blue fire and his left arm in Diamond and his right arm in air"You unlocked the next level of earth I'm impressed " Wrath saidbefore getting attacked by everything Kawataki could give but it wasuseless so Kawataki and Kayle jumped back panting for air"If hit him with everything we have together there's no way he cansurvive that '' Kawataki said with Kayle nodding in agreement both of thempowering up as far as they can"Elemental Buster: Ultimate Barrage!!!'' Kawataki said going firstknowing Kayle's strongest attack takes a bit of time to charge, Kawatakipushed himself further until he was energy drained once again, Wrath justswatted him away like a fly sending him into a crater in the ground just intime for Kayle to finish powering up"Hellfire: Demonic Limit Break Ultimate 100 hit combo!!!" Kayle yelledwith his dark magic plus hellfire infused with his demonic powers wrappedaround his dual swords once more every strike setting off an explosionWrath sighed and kneed Kayle in the stomach sending him up into the airand he came crashing back down"You know 17, I am quite disappointed, I was hoping you would joinme and together we could take over the entire universe and rule it with aniron fist, but unfortunately you seem to think otherwise. Now I'm going tohave to kill you, but just now I almost feel sad for doing so," Wrath said ashe punched right through Kawataki. "Almost," Wrath clarified, as he threwKawataki away like a piece of garbage.Kayle ran towards him and held him while Kawataki looked Kayle inthe eyes. "Kill... him do it for everyone he's hurt, do it... for me, I love you,"Kawataki breathed out his final words before falling limp in Kayle's arms."I will, I promise " Kayle gently placed him on the ground and wipedaway his tears and looked at Wrath with pure rage " I swear I will dowhatever it takes to kill you if it's the last thing I do " Kayle said trembling inanger " I'M GONNA MAKE YOU PAY!!! " Kayle yelled as he grew largerand larger until he towered over Wrath his Horns spiraling over his headand trailing half way down his back the fabric of his clothes tearing as hegrew bigger, a long heavy tail shot out from behind him he snarled at Wrathhis razor sharp teeth showing almost like fire was coming out of his mouthhis hand grew long talon like claws and swiped at Wrath who grabbed hisclaws and snapped each one of from both of his hands as Kayle screamedin pain he spun around to hit him with his tail but Wrath just grabbed it spunhim around and threw him into the air and appeared above him and kneedhim in the stomach sending Kayle crashing into the floor he got up and fellto one knee out of energy to continue he shrank back down to his usualsize and went back to normal powerless to do anything to stop Wrath " I'msorry, I failed you.Wrath was about to finish off Kayle with one last blow, but a glowinggreen and gold lasaid suddenly came hurtling towards him The [projectiledid nothing, as it fizzled out against Wrath's new protective aura, but the actof defiance had, in some easy, piqued Wrath's interest. He looked over,only to find a battered and bruised Cadell, standing in a fighting position, adefiant glint in his eyes.Wrath chuckled at the sight of him. "You're Mchael's kid aren't you?"he asked casually, as though he were a family friend and they;d justhappened upon each other at the grocery store.Cadell narrowed his eyes. "You're going to pay for all you've done,"he told him vehemently."If I had a dollar for every time I've heard that," sighed Wrath, asthough he were bored.Cadell growled and flew through the air at Wrath, leaving a trail ofgreen and gold energy particles in his wake as an aura of the samecoloring surrounded his legs. He drew his legs into position for a flying sidekick, but the powerful strike did nothing when he collided with Wrath'schest, and he was just flung backwards.Cadell flipped through the air and regained his balance, only to findWrath, standing with his arms crossed and a confident smirk on his face, asif beckoning him to try again. Cadel would take up Wrath's challenge andhit him with a flurry of powerful kicks and punches, but it did next tonothing.When Wrath struck back, after a head kick from Cadell caused him toflinch a bit more than he would;ve liked, he punched Cadell square in thechest and sent him flying into a large outcropping of rocks, but he wouldstill not be dissuaded."Still more?" asked Wrath, as if he found Cadell's display somewhatamusing, or perhaps mildly interesting.Cadell's signature aura began to surround his arms and legs, and hedashed at Wrath at his fastest possible speeds, igniting the air and sendingfireballs streaking towards him with every attack. The flaming projectiles,however, had almost no effect on him, and he merely grinned."Impressive, for a mortal," Wrath was sure to add the last part.Then, while Cadell was still hitting him with blow after blow, heheadbutted the boy, forcing him to his knees, and causing black spots toform in his vision. Cadell stumbled back up to his feet, still delirious fromthe headbutt, and was immediately grabbed around the neck by Wrath,who punched him in the stomach three times, each blow causing him tocough up blood. He then threw him away like a dirty rag and left him in therubble.But Cadell was nothing if not tenacious. He struggled back up to hisfeet and took several deep breaths.He had a bleeding cut on his foreheadand had blood dripping from his mouth. His entire body was covered inbruises and cuts, but he wasn;t done yet. He saw that Wrath had turned hisback on him and was walking confidently to the next target. Cadell grittedhis teeth and took off in a sprint at Wrath, leaping into the air and, as perusual, going for the leaping side kick.Wrath faintly heard him coming and looked back over his shoulder.Upon seeing Cadell rocketing towards him, he turned around and caughtCadell's outstretched leg, before bringing his elbow down on his knee. Asharp crack, followed by a pained cry from Cadell pierced the air, and hefell back onto the ground, clutching his broken knee."You have spirit," Wrath told him, "but your power is laughable, andpower is all that truly matters."As Wrath turned to leave Cadell behind him, not deeming him worthenough time to finish off then and there, he heard several pained grunts asthe young martial artist staggered to his feet.Now, Wrath let out a full laugh. "What could you possibly hope toachieve?" he asked him.His only response came in a barely audible grunt from Cadell, as hestaggered towards him. "You. Must, Pay," he grunted out, his face a visageof determination.Wrath sighed and held out a hand, blasting Cadell in the shoulderwith dark energy. Cadell let out a yell of pain and stumbled, but keptadvancing. Wrath blasted him again, with the same results. Again andagain, blasts of dark energy cut into and burned the body of Cadell, until, atlast, he collapsed, his body sizzling and smoking at Wrath's feet.Now, finally certain that this adversary was dealt with, Wrath turnedaway and left Cadell to die.Wrath raised his arm into the air. A large energy sphere formed in hishand. It began to continuously grow until it was several hundred meters talland in length, the power to wipe out the planet. It was an energy ball noone could stop. Suddenly it shrunk down. Wrath began to look around ashe noticed his surroundings were changing quickly.The ground was bursting with flames. The planet itself was breakingapart. Wrath opened a black portal behind him. He took a step backwardsand vanished. The atmosphere caught fire. The planet became insanelyhot. As everyone looked up, a bright light emitted from the sky. The earth'score expanded.In his last moments, Cadell dragged himself to Allen's side. "Whatcan we do?" he asked."We've lost," was Allen's only reply.Cadell dropped his head down. I'll be with you all soon, he thought,the images of all the people he'd lost entering his mind.The last thoughts from every was. "We lost". The planet explodedfrom the inside out leaving nothing but dust. Nothing was left.
