An Angels Hero

Ruin's Next Mission | Demigod Achill

Ruin appears in Universe 223. Looking around, the architecture is very classical, and there is a large harbor down the slope that the city is placed on. And there is a large shadow cast over the land on the other side of the water. He then looks up, and there is a massive starship causing said shadow. Around it are several smaller ships. "Judging by the look of this city, and its ancient appearance, I suppose that ship must be the perpetrator." Ruin says. He then jumps up to a large tower that's overlooking the city. Looking on at the gargantuan vessel which is floating in the air, he ponders how to board it. It's too high up for him to jump up to. He can see down the bay at this height and can see there's another city. One bigger than this one. Then suddenly he sees a ship fly far overhead there, and it drops something. Then, an explosion. Nuclear. The blast causes the ground to shake, and sends a shockwave. The light is blinding, and the sound deafening. After things clear, he can hear panic in the city he's in.

"What was that?!" One person yells.

"Ah!" Another screeches. Ruin grits his teeth.

"These people will pay." Ruin says. Then he can see the ship that dropped the bomb, turn around and come his way. "Is he going to drop another?" As he approaches Ruin jumps from the tower, sending him high enough to latch onto the ship's wing. Holding on. He climbs onto it. It is fast, making it hard for Ruin to keep his grip. Then he looks back as they leave the city, and another flash of light happens as a second bomb explodes it.

"Coming in for a reload." The pilot says. Ruin hears it.

"Yeah, I'm sure you are." Ruin says. He climbs atop the ship, eventually coming upon a hatch at the top. It is sealed tight, though using all of his strength, Ruin pry's it open.

"What?!" The pilot exclaims. Ruin then grabs the pilot's shirt, and rips him from his seat, tearing the seat belt that was securing him. He then sits himself in the seat, closes the hatch, and takes control.

"These controls are familiar. Universe 13." Ruin manages to operate the ship due to former experience, and he flies up towards the big ship. "Whoever this is, they have an army." Flying over the front of the ship, he can now see the surface. It has no walking or landing area, but it has some bulging at the back, which has a massive window. "That must be the bridge. Whoever is in charge will likely be there." He flies straight for it, and smashes through the large window, killing several people on the bridge. Though one survives. Ruin climbs out through the hatch, landing on the floor.

"And who are you?" The last person standing says.

"I am Ruin. And I am your reckoning." Ruin says, "I can see you're from Universe 13, based on the technology your ships are." He says, "So tell me, who are you? You survived, so you must be fairly powerful."

"Who am I?" The man asks. He is wearing golden armor over his abdomen, which has no shoulder pads, and the arms are uncovered. There is a cape at its back that is ripped and torn, and his pants are baggy. His hair sticks straight up, and there is what appears to be war paint adorning his face, flowing from both eyes all the way down his cheeks and to his chin. He has clearly seen many battles. "I am the Demigod Achill. Conqueror of the known multiverse."

"That right?" Ruin says, unimpressed.

"It is. And you dare oppose me? Not only that, but you smash one of my own ships into the bridge?" Achill asks, "You haven't even begun to feel my wrath." He picks up a spear that is lying upon the ground. "Do you think you are capable of killing me?"

"I'm not sure. Won't know until I try." Ruin says as he drops his blades from his sleeves. He then swings one at Achill, who blocks it with his spear. He then throws the other, and Achill blocks it too.

"You'll have to try harder than that!" Achill yells. He then runs towards Ruin at lightning speed. Ruin jumps back as Achill swings his spear, and it barely misses. Ruin then throws his blade, wrapping around Achill's arm. He tugs, but Achill doesn't budge. Achill then grabs the rope, and pulls. This flings Ruin towards him, and he grabs Ruin by the arm. He slams Ruin into the floor, throws him up, and then uppercuts him, causing him to fall onto the floor.

"Gah!" Ruin says in pain. He struggles, but manages to stand up. The hits Achill delivered were beyond super-human, leaving him aching.

"So... Do you see my power now?" Achill asks. Suddenly some of Achill's men enter.

"Sir!" One yells as they run in. "Do you need help?!"

"No." Achill says.

"But sir-" Another begins to say as Achill interrupts them.

"I said no." Achill says, glancing over at them. "Leave. I will handle this." Ruin then throws his blade, slicing Achill's cheek. He looks back at Ruin. "Foolish decision." He says, "Take this." Achill throws his spear to his men before they leave. "I won't be needing it."

"What?!" Ruin is shocked.

"What?" Achill looks at him. "Shocked that you are so weak I won't even need my spear?" He then charges. Ruin throws his blade, which Achill dodges. He hits Ruin in the gut, then knees him in the chin. Ruin recovers and throws a punch, though Achill counters, and punches him directly in the jaw.

"Kuh!" Ruin falls face first onto the metallic floor. Achill then leers over him.

"You will learn to never cross me again when I'm through." Achill says. He grabs Ruin by the hair and pulls him up by it very abruptly. This flings Ruin into the air as he lets go. Then Achill kicks high, hitting Ruin in the face, making him fall hard to the ground.

"Ah!" Ruin squeals as he hits. He rolls over onto his stomach, and begins to crawl. His face is quite bloody. As he crawls, Achill walks slowly behind him.

"Rethinking your choices now? Hm?" Achill asks. He grabs Ruin by the foot and begins dragging him over to the shattered window. He then grabs Ruin by the throat and holds him beyond the window. "I suppose this little assassination attempt is a failure. Should have brought help if you wanted to stand a cha-" Suddenly there is a loud bang and the ship begins to shake. Eventually the shaking stops, but it's clear something had happened. He throws Ruin onto the floor and calls for some of his men. They arrived.

"Yes sir!" One says.

"Go ahead and imprison this trash." Achill says, "I have bigger fish to fry."

"Yes sir!" The two grab Ruin and take him to the brig of the ship. They throw him into a cell and leave him there. Ruin passes out after. Meanwhile Achill arrives to handle the other threat, though by the time he arrives, they are defeated.

"Who were they?" Achill asks.

"The STCF" A soldier says.

"Hmph. Those damn Space-Time cops. They have the numbers to cause trouble, so as they know we're here, let's move on. To another universe." Achill says.

"May I suggest one, sir?" Another soldier asks.

"You have one in mind?" Achill's interest peaks.

"Universe 11. I've looked into that one, and they are prime to conquer." They say.

"Very well. Begin charting our course." Achill says.

"Yes sir!" His soldiers salute.

"Augh..." Ruin raises up, his head extremely sore. "Dammit..." Ruin says, "I got in over my head..." Ruin lifts up his multiversal traveling device, and vanishes, as he leaves the universe.
