Chapter 26: True gods

The team arrives at their temple and they all sit down in the common area"so...what's the plan?"Lucas says in confusion as Wukong hops on his cloud"Well i've been thinking and i've come to the conclusion that you guys need to get past Neivhors precognition ability and i know just the thing to do"Wukong then pulls out a scroll"This is a notice about a gathering-a party if you will.This party is for gods to get together and talk about the current state of the god world and blah blah blah.Anyway we need to find the god Heimdall so he can teach you how to battle with precognition" Wukong is about to explain more when Dominick cuts him off"so we're getting new powers?"Dominick asks confusingly"no its not a power it's more like a technique to use during battle"Wukong says before Donte groans in disappointment"I hate learning techniques..UGHHH"Donte Flips off of the couch and walks away with his hands behind his head"I'm going to take a shower.Tell me when we're ready to leave"Donte walks away with Aka Behind him"I'll join you"She says in glee as Donte turns bright red"H-HUH?"He says in shock before Aka grabs his collar and drags him away"You heard me now let's go"She says with a smile while dragging Donte away.Lucas then gets up and goes to his room"I'm going to meditate"He says as he shuts the door to his room.Dominick stands up with Lana on his shoulders"Well Lana it looks like it's time for you to go home it's getting too dangerous for you to participate"Dominick says before Lana pouts and is about to say something when Dominick interrupts her"Nah ah ah No buts or fits I'm taking you home"Dominick walks outside and summons Hyoga with meru behind him"OO I'M COMING TOO"She squeals before front flipping on hyogas back.Now left alone Wukong sits in the common area alone and on his cloud thinking to himself"If he is truly coming then I'm gonna have to toughen these kids up and get them strong or else everything will go down in...CHAOS"Wukong then gets up and opens a portal to the prison realm before walking to one of the cells and opening it to reveal Danjal in chains"Ahhh so did you consider the deal?"Danjal says as Wukong thinks back to the last time he visited Danjal.Flashback to the last time Wukong visited Danjal in his cell and Danjal laughs while talking to Wukong"Hey Wukong...I know he's coming so I have a little deal for you"Danjal says and Wukong looks at him in suspicion"Let me out of here"Danjal smiles"HELL NO-"Wukong yells before Danjal cuts him off"Let me finish,Let me out of here and let me train my son.I know his potential I know what fighting styles are best for him I know how to bring out that demon side of his and I'm pretty smart so I can teach him some tricks with that Shadow power of his.I can even teach him...That,Which will be an essential for my son to defeat him.It's a win win situation,I get to train my son while he gets stronger for your benefits so...What do you say"Danjal says while Wukong sweats in stress.Back to the present,Wukong looks at Danjal with determination in his eyes and comes to a decision"Fine...I'll let you train him but only AFTER we defeat the threat at hand"Wukong sternly says as Danjal smiles a smile that can only be described as..insanity.Wukong exits the cell and opens a portal back to the mortal realm and sits back on his cloud in the common room"I really hope this plays out well"He says as he closes his eyes trying to relax.Meanwhile Donte and Aka are in the shower together and Aka is washing Dontes hair as he suddenly speaks"Hey Aka are you...Scared of me?"Donte says while looking down and Aka replies"no I'm not scared of you why would you think that"Aka says while scrubbing Dontes scalp"Well I'm a demon who went berserk and could've killed you-hell I'm known as the CALAMITY by gods"Donte is about to start spiraling but Aka hugs him from behind"Hey it's fine don't worry.I doubt that anyone here is scared of you your still the same old Donte that we've always known and loved who cares if your a demon"Aka says before Donte locks eyes with her and they kiss as and Donte starts to think to himself"Sometimes I can't help but be scared of myself but with all of you the pain the fear is less threatening to me"Donte says while sinking in the moment of the kiss.While Aka and Donte are in the shower talking,Dominick and meru are on Hyoga riding back from the temple.Meru watches as Lana enters her mansion and shyly puts her hand on Dominick's.Dominick notices this,looks and gently kisses her while on top of Hyoga"Your lips are cold...hehe"Meru giggles to herself before looking off to the side of Hyoga"Dominick tell me...Why do you have such a lust for power"Meru asks and Dominick sighs"Well it's simple really..I just want to protect the people that are dear to me and to do that I need power"Dominick looks at his hand and makes a fist"And now that I have two gods That means double the power"Dominick says before quickly covering his mouth"I didn't mean to say that...."Dominick sighs again and looks at meru who tilts her head in confusion"Two gods?What do you mean"She asks Dominick before he entertains her question"Right so when I was fighting the phantom skeletons I think a god made a link with me and my body didn't break down like it was supposed to so..Maybe I'm different from the rest"Dominick says with a hand on his chin and looks at meru who has a sparkle in her eyes"MERU please don't tell anyone I would like to keep it a secret please"Dominick says as meru nods with excitement in her face.Shortly after this conversation They had,They soon arrive at the temple to see everyone back in the Common room again and see Wukong talking to everyone"So what's going on?"Dominick asks while Wukong is walking around in an excited state explaining what is about to happen"Ok ok ok we are getting ready to leave but uh"Wukong looks at everyone's outfit in disgust"You can't go in that sooo"Wukong snaps his fingers and everyone's clothes get transformed into formal wear.Donte is in a black suit with a black shirt underneath with a long jacket on along with black rings,Dominick is in a crystal blue suit with a crystal necklace,Aka is in a white dress with White charms in her hair and her nails painted white,Meru is in a matching suit with Dominick's along with crystal earrings and her cleavage showing a bit and Lastly Lucas is in a Blinding gold suit and has gold highlights in his hair.Dominick looks at Donte and Aka confusingly"why aren't you guys matching?"Dominick says before Donte and Aka look at eachother and laugh"What are you talking about?We're the light and dark duo of course so it's matching"Aka says as she sticks out her tongue at Dominick.Wukong opens the portal and looks at everyone"Ok let's get going".They all walk through the portal and are met by an ecliptic sky with green,blue and pink colors inside of it making it a beautiful sight to behold"Woah this place is breathtaking it's almost hallucinating really"Lucas says while fixing the tie on his suit.Shortly after that they made their way to a Gold castle with blue highlights along with music blasting throughout the realm with the castle being its source.The team walks in said castle and is greeted with mountains of food,Beautiful relics and statues and gods in every corner.Donte walks up with Aka holding his arm in a formal fashion"Now this...is a party"Dontes says with a smile before looking at wukong who hands him a picture"Here this is what heimdall looks like.Be sure to be on the lookout for him"Wukong says before walking out and jumping on his cloud"I'm not really a party guy so I'll leave for now.Don't worry I'll know when you guys find him,GOOD LUCK"Wukong tells them before blasting off in the opposite direction"he's always disappearing"Dominick says with meru holding his arm the same as Aka Doing to Donte.Lucas walks off while waving"I'll go look in this direction and you guys look over there.Don't worry I'll be fine"Lucas walks over to an area crowded with gods and other creatures of mythology"Ugh this is going to be so much work"Lucas says as he enters the sea of gods.Donte,Aka,Dominick and meru are walking around in search for Heimdall and Donte pulls out the picture Wukong gave him"He looks...A little snobbish not gonna lie"Donte says while looking at the picture of heimdall who has long Dark brown hair,A crown and a cape while having a smile on his face that can only be described as cunning.Donte makes an awkward face and looks over to Dominick who has a drink in his hand"Dominick what the hell is that"Donte says to Dominick who is examining his drink"The butler told me it was mead..I don't know what that is though"Dominick says while putting the drink to his lips.Donte quickly snatches the drink from him"Bro this is Asgardian wine,you will get drunk as hell if you drink this"Donte says as he throws the drink away in the garbage"Lets focus and get this over with.I'm getting a little bored"Donte walks with Aka and taps a girl on the shoulder"hello,have you seen a god named heimdall around here?"Donte says to this girl as she turns around with a confused look on her face"I'm sorry I haven't seen him but maybe my dad has"The girl says before turning around and yelling"DAD COME PLEASE"She yells as Thor emerges from the crowd"Thrud I thought I told you not to yell so much"Thor says as he looks upon the four teens"Oh it's the children of Buddha.What bring you guys here" Thor says and Dominick walks forward"We're looking for heimdall so he can teach us something...What are YOU doing here I didn't strike you as the party type"Dominick snickers while Thor groans"Well I didn't want to come but my daughter wanted to come for god knows what"Thor looks at thrud with a stern look and she laughs"Oh come on it's not that bad oh- allow me to introduce myself.I am thrud thor's daughter it's nice to meet you"Thrud grabs Dontes hand and shakes it and gets in his face with a blush on her face"It's uhh nice to meet you too hahaha"Donte says nervously while looking at Aka Whos body is starting to glow with light energy"Thrud I would like it if you would stop being so touchy with my boyfriend thank you very much"Aka says with a smile still with might energy emitting from her body.Thrud backs off and Dominick chuckles to himself"THAT'S fucking hilarious but anyway,Thor do you happen to have any idea where heimdall is"Dominick says while still laughing.Thor then points to a massive door"He should be in there...Oh and a warning if you will.he's kind of a uh womanizer"Thor says while walking away.shortly after talking with Thor and his daughter,the team gets to the door"I'll tell Lucas to come with my telepathy"Donte says while closing his eyes.Meru walks and touches the door"How...Did we not see this"Meru says before walking back to Dominick.Donte opens his eyes and looks at the door"Ok Lucas is on his way so I guess we open it now?"Donte says before opening the door and the team is greeted by naked women and Heimdall who is in a robe.Before Donte or Dominick can even register what's in the room,Aka and Meru cover Their eyes"WHAT THE HELL?"Aka says with her hands over Dontes eyes"Donte if you even try to struggle I will run my spear through your heart ok?"Aka says with a smile and Donte stiffens up"Y-Yes ma'am"He says in fear.Dominick struggles due to the surprise"P-Please don't fight it my love"Meru says softly to Dominick and he calms down.Heimdall looks at the Teens and laugh"It's ok ladies you can leave now"Heimdall says before all of the women run out of the room and Aka and Meru release their hands from the two boys.Heimdall Walks to a throne and sits down in it"So Children of Buddha what brings you here"Heimdall says before he picking up an apple and taking a bite out of it.Donte is about to speak when Wukong and Lucas burst through the door"HEY HEIMY"Wukong yells from off of his cloud before jumping off"Man you were so much smaller the last time I've seen you"Wukong playfully insults Heimdall"Ugh and you're here why?"Heimdall says annoyingly while still eating the apple.Wukong backs up and goes on to explain"Well we're kind of dealing with a threat right now and i need you to teach these kids your technique of predicting the future"Wukong explains to Heimdall while playing with the antiques in the room.Heimdall chokes on his apple due to him laughing at this request"AHAHA and why should I help YOU.How does this concern me" Heimdall laughs aloud and Lucas makes an confused face"You mean you won't help us because there's nothing in it for you?"Lucas accuses Heimdall"Why should I help you if there's nothing in it for me? I can be playing with my lovely women instead of helping some miscreants try to be heros"Heimdall takes another bite of his apple.Lucas grits his teeth"How...Selfish can you be"Lucas starts to conjure his sword but Wukokg grabs his hand" Heimdall....If you don't help us then every realm in the universe will be destroyed along with everyone in it...Including the women "Wukong playfully smirks as Heimdall freezes in his tracks"....Fine I'll help you"Heimdall looks upon meru"By the way.."Heimdall seemingly teleports in front of meru and holds her chin"Do you care to be one of my concubines little succubus"Heimdall smirks and Dominick quickly summons an ice sickle and swings it at heimdall.Heimdall let's out a chuckle and dodges the sickle and makes the sickle pierce the apple he had instead"PITIFUL"Heimdall yells before jumping in the air and kicking Dominick to the side and meru quickly runs to his aid"Hes..slippery"Dominick groans as meru kisses him on the lips.Dominick's body glows pink and he's suddenly healed of the blow that was just landed on him by heimdall"Since when can you heal?"Aka asks Meru while she helps Dominick up"Ever since me and Dominick became a thing my eyes turned blue like his and I can heal but it only works on him for some reason"Meru says while dusting the rubble off of Dominick's suit"TSK TSK TSK You kids have a lot to learn about my technique.You see I examined all of you as soon as you came in here and I deduced that you two over there"Heimdall points at Meru and Dominick"You two are a little couple and that's why I flirted with the young lady.As for me predicting your moves..It was your breathing.Your breathing gave you away,it was filled with the intent to harm as SOON as I held the young ladies chin"Heimdall then opens the door"Ok follow me and we can get this started"Heimdall Leads the team in the back of the castle where it is revealed to have training dummies along with weapons and shields of sorts.Heimdall walks and sits at the end of the training area"Ok let's see what I'm working with.YOU THERE"Heimdall yells at Donte and instructs him to come forth"Expel your aura so I can get a gauge on your power"Heimdall commands Donte but Donte just tilts his head"A-Aura...?"Donte confusingly says before Heimdall looks at Wukong who is whistling and looking in the other direction"YOU DIDN'T TEACH THEM HOW TO EXPEL AURA?"Heimdall yells and Wukong wines"I kinda forgot to...hehe"Wukong sweats and heimdall throws a sword at him"YOU IRRESPONSIBLE FOOL"Heimdall yells as he throws another sword before quickly calmly down.Donte raises his hand in a student fashion"Um whats an aura"Donte asks and Heimdall sighs"An aura is basically energy that gods give off or in your case demigods.Auras can be weaponized in battle for an advantage.Different auras have different Effects depending on the users power and personality.Other gods can also sense this aura depending on how powerful it is" Heimdalls body starts to glow light purple"MY aura boosts my five senses which helps my technique of predicting my opponents next move"Heimdall then sighs again"I guess I'll have to teach you all how to expel your Auras huh"Heimdall says as the students look and nod in unison.Heimdall shakes his head slowly and snaps his fingers"You there Donte was it?" Heimdall points to the ground"Come forth and I'll will unlock your aura.You see when other gods come in direct contact with aura it has a chance for them to unlock their own aura But it'll be imperfect due to lack of experience"Heimdall explains while Donte walks forward and heimdall places his hand that is covered in purple aura on his forehead"Ok just give it a couple of seconds"Heimdall says before Walking to the rest of the team and doing the same to them but heimdall stops when he gets to meru"Meru I'm afraid that you don't have an aura.Auras are exclusive to gods and well your not a god your just a succubus"Heimdall says before walking back to his previous spot.Meru lowers her head in disappointment and Dominick notices this and walks to her before grabbing her shoulders"Hey it's ok if you don't have a fancy aura like we do.You still kick some serious ass without it so don't sweat it ok?"Dominick kisses her forehead before she nods happily.Donte,Aka,Dominick and Lucas stand side by side in front of heimdall"Uhh I don't really feel anything"Lucas says before their bodies all suddenly burst with energy with their respective colors.Heimdall walks forward"Ok now I want each of you to focus your energy onto me so I can feel the effects of your auras"Heimdall walks in front of Lucas"You first"Heimdall points at Lucas as he nods in determination.Lucas focuses his aura onto Heimdall and Suddenly heimdall gets stabbed in the chest by Lucas"WHAT-AGH"Heimdall yells and closes his eyes but when he opens them again he's fine like nothing happened.Heimdall starts to breath heavy"His aura has the ability to make his opponents feel his deadly intensity so much that it makes an illusion of him hurting them drastically" Heimdall says before dropping to his knees.Lucas goes to help but Heimdall puts his hand up"I'm...Fine"Heimdall says before walking to Dominick"Your turn"Heimdall says and Dominick tries to focus his aura Energy on heimdall but nothing happens"Huh what happened?"Dominick says in disappointment and waves his hand in the air accidently touching heimdalls arm and it instantly freezes"Oh so that's how it works...You instantly freeze your opponent when they come in contact with your aura"Heimdall says as Donte snickers"Couldn't he do that before"Donte laughs and Dominick Yells at him"NO.It usually takes me a couple about 2 seconds to freeze a body part on someone but now with this I can do it instantly"Dominick smiles while looking at his fist.Heimdall then walks to Aka and instructs her to do the same and Suddenly feels an overwhelming amount of happiness and blissfulness where he doesn't even care about anything anymore.though It only lasts a few seconds and he quickly goes back to normal"so...A happy drug"Heimdall says before walking over to Donte"And lastly you"Heimdall says to Donte as Donte expels his black aura and sets it upon Heimdall.Heimdall gets hits with the aura attack and he falls to his knees while laughing out loud like a maniac while his eyes starts to bleed and he starts to gargle blood in his mouth while his brain gets overwhelmed with images that can only be described as deranged.Donte sees this and worries"OH SHIT"Donte motions Aka to come to him and she starts to heal heimdall.Heimdall gets healed shortly and is back to normal but he is breathing heavily and is looking upon Donte"Insanity inducement...That's deadly indeed"Heimdall then thinks of a certain demon god"Hey...Kid just what are you"Heimdall asks Donte while sweating and awaiting Dontes answer"I'm...The son of Danjal otherwise known as-"Donte gets cut off by Heimdall"THE CALAMITY"Heimdall yells while accidentally expelling his aura in a frenzy but soon calms down.Donte backs up and looks down"You aren't gonna train me anymore right? Since I'm a demon and all"Donte says to heimdall but Heimdall responds in a monotone voice"frankly, I don't care about demons or other races.So I'll still train you. I was just surprised is all"Heimdall then plops down while sweating.A couple hours pass and the team is still training their auras while Heimdall is speaking to Wukong"So your mentoring the calamity huh?"Heimdall says while presenting a serious expression"You sure you know what you're getting into with training him?"Heimdall asks wukong who has his head down and thinking"Well.. to be honest I don't know what I'm supposed to do with him.I've seen a lot of things but I've never encountered a demon who also performed a link with a god.I need to squeeze every bit of power out of him so he's strong enough to protect existence itself and that's why...After this whole Neivhor situation"Wukong takes a deep breath"I'll need to let someone take over and mentor Donte..Ugh but it's a gamble and a risky one at that but I have no choice"Wukong stands and walks away and watches his students train.Meanwhile Neivhor is in helheim again alone and sitting on a mountain thinking about his next move.He looks to the sky and thinks to himself and about his past battle with Donte"You think you're some type of villain? You think you're made for this?"those words bang In neivhors head like a drum that keeps pounding.Neivhor lays back on the mountain and thinks to himself"I am a villain...Right?"Neivhor closes his eyes for a bit before conjuring a book in his hand.Neivhor reads the book and stumbles upon a section with gods and their respective weapons"hmm maybe I can use a weapon of some sort"Neivhor then closes his eyes and uses his omniscient abilities in search for a weapon that would suit his needs.Neivhor opens his eyes"THATS IT"He yells before quickly opening a portal"once I have this weapon then the final battle can begin"Neivhor says before walking into the portal.Back to the children of buddha,still training with Heimdall and Suddenly wukong opens his eyes in realization"SHIT WE GOTTA GO"Wukong then gets off of his cloud and grabs the students before quickly making a portal"Thanks heimdall but we have to get going now"Wukong says seriously before walking into the portal"Heimdall and not heimy?He must be serious about this...Oh well it's not my problem anymore"Heimdall says before walking into the castle again.The team enters the portal and arrives in a forest"Uh why did you teleport us here...in a random forest"Dominick says as he kicks a twig aside.Wukong begins to walk while everyone follows him"I don't know why but Neivhor came to this realm"Wukong says while walking and Donte makes a confused face"And..how did you come to that conclusion?"Donte says while following.Wukong releases a golden aura from his body"I sensed his aura from the other realm"Wukong says as they reach a lake and across the lake there are mines,dwarfs and weapons displayed on buildings"Welcome to nioavellir,home of the dwarfs"Wukong presents the realm to the team before Dominick takes a step on the water and turns into an ice path in which everyone walks on to get to the other side.upon walking to the other side of the lake they see buildings destroyed with smoke and fire coming out of the destruction"What..Happened here?"Lucas says to the team as he lays his eyes upon an unconscious dwarf on the ground.Lucas and Aka run to the dwarf and pick him up and Aka heals him and Suddenly he wakes up"What happened here?"Lucas asks the dwarf"Some kid came here and destroyed everything...He said he was looking for a weapon, the best weapon that we've forged.I had no choice but to tell him where it was"The dwarf says to the team.Donte shakes his head"Neivhor came here"Donte says to the team"Where is this weapon you speak of"Donte asks the dwarf as he points to a cave"The weapon is in that mine shaft over there...If your going to go there please be careful although I don't think he'll get far considering we have a powerful guard and numerous beasts that guard this weapon"The dwarf says before Lucas sets him down and the rest of the team starts to walk towards the mine"You kids should be able to handle this but I'll keep watch just in case anything happens"Wukong says as he sits down in front of the mine.The rest of the team enter the mine shaft and is greeted by numerous ores and other minerals"Ok let's hurry up and deal with this before anyone else gets hurt"Donte says before a huge turtle like beast drops down in front of them and roars at them as other huge wolves come howling behind this beast"I'd hate to kill the guards of this mine but unfortunately your in our way"Dominick says as he walks up with his eyes glowing crystal blue.While the team is fighting the beast,Neivhor arrives at the door with dead beasts behind him.He opens this door that reveals a guard who is standing next to a trident with dwarf language written on it.The guard has a bone necklace on with gray hair and beast clothes on"I'm surprised that you were able to best those beasts that I sent on you but no matter...I'll kill you where you stand"The guard says as a bird like creature appears behind him.Neivhor smirks while holding a book"You have the ability to summon beasts to do your bidding in battle...sadly for you though"Neivhor then expels a royal blue aura of his own and Suddenly everyone stops in place"My aura allows me to share my knowledge my opponents...but the problem is that I know so much that it overloads the regular brain to the point where all your motor functions stop therefore making you motionless"Neivhor then walks to the Guard and touches his head with his finger"You work for me now...uh what's your name?"Neivhor looks at the books he's holding"Ahh so your name is tengen,Well now you work for me.Go guard the front of the door while I help myself to this weapon.I have no doubt that the main cast is here"Neivhor says while releasing his hand off of tengen.Tengen walks to the front of the door and sit with wolves next to him,waiting for enemies.While tengen is waiting,The team is fighting numerous beasts And they all use this chance to show off their aura abilities.Dominick stands still while some the beasts run to him and as soon as they touch his aura they all get frozen instantly and crumble into a pile of frozen flesh"Tch too easy"Dominick says before looking over to Aka who is surrounded by happy monsters.Aka made the monsters so happy that they just disregard any harmful actions towards them and just plops down in an oblivious matter.Lucas use his aura to make the beasts feel his harmful intent to the point where the beasts succumbs to the illusion that Lucas killed them all in a flash.Lucas uses this distraction to swiftly cut their heads off"now this is an UPGRADE"Lucas yell's triumphantly.Donte activates his aura and all the monsters in range falls to their knees with blood leaking out their eyes and mouths.Donte sees this and releases his aura and starts trembling in fear"W-why....why can I cause harm so easily"Donte falls to his knees while he holds himself in fear.Aka quickly runs to Donte and hugs him which calms him down a bit.Donte starts to breathe normally and he stops sweating a lot"It's ok I'm here just calm down"Aka reassures Donte before both of them stand up"Ok let's...keep looking"Donte says before walking deeper into the mine.While they walk Dominick walks beside Donte"yo what was that about?"Dominick asks worryingly to Donte"I'm just scared Dominick...I'm scared of myself.You see how I'm strong I'm getting you see the damage I can cause.What if I suddenly turn evil just like my dad and lash out on all of you and kill you...I don't want that I love you guys"Donte starts to shake a little again but Aka grabs his hand and he begins to calm down.Dominick backs off and walks next to meru"Everything ok with you?"Dominick asks meru and she nods"Yea I'm fine love don't worry"Meru says as Dominick sighs in relief"that's good".The team arrives at the door and is greeted by tengen who sits there with wolves surrounded him"hello...children"Tengen says before standing up as the wolves stretch and bare their teeth at the team while frothing at the mouths"I was ordered by Neivhor to kill anyone who arrives...Especially you people"Tengen then touches the wolf and his nails start to grow along with hit teeth.Tengen howls before dashing behind Dominick and attempts to strike him with his nails but as soon as he makes contact with Dominick his nails instantly get frozen and break down.Tengen jumps back as Dominick laughs"Did you really think that would work?HA you're even more foolish than you look"Dominick then summons his scythe while his aura is still active"Ok let's get this start-"Dominick then gets fatigued"What the hell happened to me?Was it his attack...no that can't be,he didn't even make contact with me.The only explanation is my aura,I can't maintain it for long periods of time or else I'll be really fatigued from it"Dominick thinks to himself before looking back up at the group"Donte and Aka you two can go while we take care of this"Dominick gives a thumbs up before Donte and Aka runs at the door.Donte kicks open the door to see Neivhor sitting on a throne with the golden trident.The dwarfen writing is now glowing royal blue just like his aura"Aye the main character and his love interest found me oh whatever shall I do"Neivhor laughs to himself before hopping off of the throne"He's breathing heavy and his fingers are twitching...he's most likely going to dash at me with a dagger aimed at...my head"Neivhor thinks to himself before Donte does exactly what he predicted.Neivhor dodges by leaning back and kicks Donte into the ceiling"Your so predictable ugh"Neivhor says while spinning the trident.Back to Dominick,Meru and Lucas fighting Tengen,Dominick and Tengen are clashing with each other"Damn his nails are tough"Dominick thinks to himself as Lucas appears behind Tengen and attempts to stab him in the back but Tengen suddenly grows a tail and grabs the sword before it can make contact"YOU CAN'T SNEAK UP ON AN APEX PREDATOR"Tengen shouts before crushing the sword with his tail and slaps Lucas with it making him collide with the wall.Suddelny Lucas conjures multiple swords around Tengen before firing them at him but Tengen dodges them and punches the ground making a shockwave push them all back.Tengen then makes wolves to attack the three teens but Dominick slices them all of them in half with a single swing with his scythe.Meru then jumps off of Dominick's shoulders and points finger guns at Tengen"LOVE PISTOLS"Meru shouts before launching heart shards at Tengen.Tengens tail gets hit and pins him to the ground as Dominick speeds in front of Tengen and swings at his chin but Tengen grabs the scythe with his teeth and bites through it.Dominick jumps back"Tch I almost had you,mutt"Dominick bitterly says as Tengen drops the ice pieces out of his mouth"Cold.."Tengen says as Dominick makes another scythe"yo Lucas you good over there?"Dominick looks over to Lucas who shortly gets up after wiping the dirt off of his clothes"yea I'm fine but that hurt"Lucas starts to hop up and down while cracking his neck before conjuring nunchucks.Lucas then jumps and launches himself off of the wall and clashes into Tengen"Oh I have an animal for you"Tengen then sticks his hand to the side and summons a gigantic centipede.Lucas gets caught in the centipedes mouth and is dragged away"THIS'LL BE EASY I GOT THIS"Lucas shouts as he gets taken away by the centipede.Dominick refocuses on Tengen and shoots ice shaped like moon crescents to bind him but Tengen roars and shatters them from the pure shock"MERU NOW"Dominick shouts as meru appears behind Tengen"LUST OUTPUT 25%"Meru shouts before punching Tengen in the back making him fly towards Dominick and when Tengen flies in range Dominick slices him vertically and Tengen drops to the floor.Meru runs to Dominick and gives him a high five"WE DID IT"She yells as Dominick smiles"yes we did...Although that did seem a bit too easy"Dominick then remembers tengilus words"When the fight is too easy...Check your bases"Dominick remembers these words and looks back to see Tengen gone"SHIT HE PLAYED DEAD"Dominick then looks above him and sees Tengen all bloody.Tengen lunges at Dominick ready to attack"SHIT I CANT MOVE IN TIME...IM DEAD"Dominick says before Tengen makes contact with him and he instantly freezes as Dominick smiles cockily"That's what I would've said if I wasn't so powerful heh"Dominick then sticks up the middle finger at Tengen before he crumbles into pieces"He's so cool"Meru thinks to herself as Dominick stands triumphantly.Lucas then walks back to meet with Dominick and meru all bloody with the centipedes blood"told you it'll be easy"Lucas smiles and looks to the door"should we go help them orr"Lucas says while looking at Dominick and Dominick shakes his head"he's got this no need to worry.So let's just sit and regain stamina"Dominick plops down on the floor In exhaustion.Meanwhile Donte and Aka are fighting Neivhor and Donte is having a little trouble with fighting due to the trident being a tricky weapon to fight against.Donte parries with his daggers but Neivhor lets go of the trident and kicks him in the stomach launching him into the walls.Donte bursts out of the wall and grabs the trident and forces it on Neivhor"Do you really want to do this? You don't actually think someone is born for a role do you?"Donte tries to talk to Neivhor but Neivhor yells at him"SHUT UP SHUT UP.YOU DONT KNOW A DAMN THING ABOUT ME YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT I'VE BEEN THROUGH MY PAST HAS LEAD ME TO THIS I WAS MADE FOR THIS"Neivhor then grabs Dontes collar and slams him into the ground then stabs the air with the trident and Suddenly the trident stabs Dontes stomach.Donte Gags and looks to the side where the trident stabbed"H-how?"Donte says while gagging on blood.Neivhor laughs"The tridents ability is to make portals very useful for attacking at i unexpected angles don't you think?"Neivhor continues to laugh before Aka flies at him at full speed and clashes into him"GET AWAY FROM HIM"Aka yells in rage as she makes a light explosion to knock Neivhor away into a wall.Neivhor shortly gets up and"Heheahaha well it looks like it's time for a retreat.Next time we meet it'll be the final battle and we'll settle this.I'll tell you my plan since there's no way you'll be able to stop me.We'll meet in the mortal realm while this very trident will be sinking into all the realms destroying them in the process...Let's see if you'll be able to stop me"Neivhor laughs before making a portal and walking through it.Aka runs over to Donte and heals him before the rest of the team comes bursting in the door"WHAT HAPPENED I THOUGHT YOU HAD IT"Dominick yells to Donte as he's getting healed by Aka. Donte coughs and looks at Dominick and the rest of the team"Guys it's time...For the final battle"Donte groans in pain.After the fights in nioavellir,the team goes back to their temple in the mortal realm and the team thinks of the course of action they are going to take to deal with this threat.Wukong sits on his cloud thinking to himself while the rest of them sits in silence"I....I still want to save him"Donte says to the team and Suddenly Dominick stands up in disbelief"save him?SAVE HIM?Donte he just stabbed you through your body and you still want to save him?I knew you were insane but I never knew you were THIS insane"Dominick then sighs"We should just kill him while he's ahead"Dominick says and Lucas intervenes"I mean if there's a chance to save him then why shouldn't we?"Lucas looks at Dominick"I vote we save him"Lucas puts up a hand and shortly after Donte does the same then Aka then wukong.Meru looks at Dominick for a while"I'm sorry but if there's a chance to save him then we have to do it"Meru says to Dominick before putting her hand up"Your the only one Dominick..So what's it gonna be"Donte says to Dominick with a slight smile on his face.Dominick sucks his teeth then puts his hand up slowly"fine..let's save him"Dominick says before pouting and dropping on the couch.Wukong then jumps off of his cloud and gets serious"Remember you guys are still at a disadvantage since you couldn't learn heimdalls technique..but on the bright side at least you have your auras right?"Wukong says as everyone suddenly feels a jolt of energy"that's him isn't it?"Lucas says as everyone runs to the top of their temple to see a giant trident piercing the sky with a blue portal in front on top of it.The team looks at and it begins to rain and thunder with the sky turning gray"Rain huh...well this is cinematic"Donte says with rain dripping out of his hair"Well we best get going"Dominick says before he free falls off of the temple and landing on Hyoga as the rest of the team follows to Neivhor.Neivhor is holding the trident while piercing the air and yells out loud"THIS'LL MAKE ME THE PERFECT ANTAGONIST I CAN FINALLY FULFILL MY ROLE IN THIS WORLD"Suddenly Neivhor thinks of his parents and Dontes words"You don't want to do this do you.My little protagonist"The mixture of those words cause him to shed a tear"I AM THE ANTAGONIST"Neivhor says aloud before the team shows up and Donte starts to speak to Neivhor"yKnow we're kind of the same in a sense,I believe that everyone has a purpose in life but you believe that people are assigned roles to fulfill said purpose.Neivhor this isn't your purpose..when I look at you I just see a child that's making an excuse to act out.You've had a terrible life as you told me but your past doesn't define who you are"Donte puts out his hand"You can join us Neivhor"Donte says before Neivhor looks at a book,closes it and sighs"I'm too far gone now..I'm sorry but you have to die"Neivhor says before rushing at Donte and punching him in the arm and into a nearby building.Dominick jumps up with his scythe and shouts"WELL I GUESS WE'RE KILLING YOU"Dominick then brings down his scythe and slashes at Neivhor but Neivhor dodges it with ease and conjures an energy sword and shoots it at Dominick.Lucas quickly jumps up and grabs the energy sword and breaks it with his bare hands before Meru puts her hand to the sky and shouts"HAIL OF LOVE"As multiple Hearts shards rain down upon Neivhor which he still dodges.Neivhor expels his aura and holds meru in place before he grabs her head and slams her on the roof before throwing her in a nearby building knocking her out.Aka flies to Donte"So are we still trying to save him or what"Aka asks Donte as he nods"I can get to him i saw it in his eyes we just need him to calm d-Wait aka your aura.You can use your aura to make him come to his senses"Donte says to Aka before she nods"Make an opening for me and I'll get to him"Aka says before Donte blasts off with a streak of black.Donte lands in front of Neivhor with a smile on his face"I'm gonna help you dont worry"Donte says before blitzing his way to Neivhor before clashing with him with his daggers then Donte flips over him and kicks him on the ground.Neivhor pounds the ground in frustration and conjures more energy swords above him and Donte dodges it before throwing his daggers at him.Using this distraction Donte runs at him and grabs his wrists making him unable to move"AKA NOW"Donte yells before Aka appears above Donte and attempts to grab Neivhor but He kicks Donte off of him and flips back"YOU HAVE 5 MINUTES BEFORE THE TRIDENT DESTROYS ALL THE REALMS"Neivhor laughs before Lucas comes behind him and punches him in the back launching him towards Donte and Aka"SIDE CHARACTER MY ASS"Lucas yells with a smile as Donte grabs him again and this time Neivhor can't escape due to him being fatigued from Lucas's attack"AKA LETS GO"Donte yells as Aka grabs Neivhors head and activates her aura making him calm down and happy.Donte kneels down and talks to Neivhor"Neivhor you can be better than an antagonist..Hey what do you say after all this after I stop that trident,You come join our team and be just like us..Neivhor you can be a protagonist just take my hand"Donte holds out his hand again and this time Neivhor sheds tears and and looks down.He remembers his parents and their words"my little protagonist"It echoes in his brain one last time before he smiles and takes Dontes hand"Maybe this isn't my purpose"Neivhor says while smiling like a little kid.Donte then makes a serious face and looks at the trident"can you stop it?"Donte asks and Neivhor shakes his head"I've made it irreversible..I'm sorry"Neivhor puts his head down before Donte places his hand on his head"It's ok Neivhor...I'll be right back"Donte says before blasting into the portal.Donte arrives in the space between realms and sees the trident almost making contact with the realms.Donte sees this and Flies at the trident at high speeds and punches it trying to destroy it in the process.Donte struggles for a bit and the trident isn't budging at all"No no no no no I have to stop it or else everything and everyone will be gone I WON'T ALLOW THAT TO HAPPEN"Donte then enters his shadow demon form"AGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH"Black fire the starts to surround Dontes body as he yells more"RAHHHHHHHHHHHH COME ON BREAK"Donte yells.the Team back in the mortal realm look at the trident and the portal and they all say in unison"BREAK IT DONTEEEE"The team yells as the trident shatters and Donte starts to fall down in the space between realms before Aka quickly flies into the portal and grabs him before he can make contact with the space"You did it"Aka warmly smiles before kissing him"Yea...I did"Donte says weakly as they both fly back to the mortal realm.Donte and Aka get back and is greeted by the team plus Neivhor"So you ready to join the team Neivhor?"Donte says as Dominick makes an confused face with meru in his arms"Wait he's joining the team?"Dominick says with a confused face"yea he has good in his heart so he's perfect for the job"Donte says as Neivhor smiles.Wukong shows up on his cloud"Looks like my students did it..Good job now let's get back to the temple and sort things out"Wukong says as he turns around and gets ready to leave but reality starts to distort around them in a frenzy with matter spazzing in a frenzy and a hole seems to open up in the air"...No no no no..Shit HE'S HERE"Wukong says with fear in his eyes as a entity emerges from the hole in reality.His skin is blue with red lines along it with horns that seep out of his skull.This guy says no words and instantly he seemingly teleports behind Neivhor and places his hand on his head"You were a lousy excuse for a villain"The guy says before crushing neivhors skull into a bloody pulp killing him.Donte looks at this and yells"NEIVHOR"Donte yells before dashing at the guy and hitting him with a punch but it does nothing"I'll kill you"The guy says before tapping Donte on his forehead making him go flying into multiple buildings.He then tries to kill the rest of the team but wukong stops him"What are you doing here...Iboro?"Wukong says as Iboro smiles"Well I'm here to settle our battle wukong"Iboro says before punching wukong but Wukong grabs the punch and kicks him aside"Fine let's settle this NOW"Wukong says as he point his finger to the sky"...TENGOKU:SAGE OVER HEAVEN"Wukongs shouts as his body starts to glow golden and his crown stars the enlarge and glow.Wukong then pulls out a golden staff and waves it at Iboro but Iboro breaks the staff"HUH?"Wukong says as his staff breaks and Iboro laughs"I'm stronger than you now wukong...Now ill be able to beat you even if you use your Tengoku"Iboro then dashes at Wukong and knocks him out cold before grabbing him by the nape and making a portal"Well that was boring"Iboro says before he sets his sights on the kids"Ok here the deal.I want to see the world burn and I can just kill you here but I'll do you a favor"Iboro then puts up 9 fingers"I'll give you 9 months for you to train and get ready for my wrath...And I'll be taking your mentor as hostage oh and just to make things more fun"Iboro then makes clones of himself with the numbers 1-6 on them"These clones will be at different realms and will be destroying them for as long as their alive.Their strength varies on the number that their given with 1 being the weakest and 6 being the strongest hehe...Good luck"Iboro then walks through the Portal while laughing.It begins to rain harder as the students stand over neivhors dead body"Rest in peace and I apologize that I couldn't save you"Donte who aka has woken up says before they go back to the temple.The team sits in silence and Dominick speaks"Guys what do we do now? Our mentor got beat EASILY to that guy.We can't even hold a candle to him and what the hell is a Tengoku?i'm so confused"Dominick says before someone walks through the door"You'll learn what a Tengoku is soon"The person says before looking at Donte who dashes at him with killing intent"Now is that a way to be greeting dear ol daddy"Danjal says while Donte is clashing with Danjals fist.Donte backs up"WHY ARE YOU HERE"Donte yells as Danjal sighs"I'm here for you and to send the rest of you to where you need to go"Danjal says before walking into the temple and explaining"Wukong knew this would happen so he sent me here to tell you guys that you will spend the next 9 months training your asses off to achieve Tengoku and unlock the true nature of your powers"Danjal snaps his fingers"you will depart from each other for 9 months and meet back up here when it's done.Aka will be with Donte and meru will be with Dominick since they have no one to go to"Danjal says while smiling"What do you mean no one to go to?"Donte says before Danjal snaps and Donte,Danjal and Aka all end up in a realm filled with darkness"what is this place?"Donte asks his father as someone behind both of them answers his question"It's my realm...I've already been informed about the situation and I would love to help you get stronger"Donte looks behind him and sees macaque sitting on a throne of shadows"I'll be here to train your shadow side while Danjal wil train your demon side.While donte is in the shadow realm Dominick and meru ends up in an ice realm where Dominick looks upon tengilu and Melinoe"It's time to achieve Tengoku"Tengilu says while sitting next to melinoe.Lucas ends up in a shoguns house and he sees chiyou sitting on a tatami mat"finally you've made it"Chiyou says while Lucas sits up.All the kids are split up and all the gods say in unison"Time to become true gods"
