Armageddon recalled his past...

✨️FLASHBACK✨️...

Armageddon was a mistake. His mother got pregnant with him from a hookup. Ever since his birth she mistreated him. She smashed glass bottles on his head or burned cigars on his skin if he was lucky. Her words were always full of hatred and spite.

His Mother: Stupid little shit! Should've never been born! You ruined my fucking prime!

That was one of the most tame things she would say to him. Day after day he was beaten, abused, starved. The most affectionate thing she did was name him. Unfortunately even his name was an insult. Mistake. Yes she literally named him Mistake.

One day, she got tired of it all. She threw him out of her house and into the streets. He tried to beg but all he was met with was a few hits. He was bruised and scuffed from her violence to him. He roamed the streets of the city he lived in.

He would sit in alleys and on the side of the road. But no one helped him. Or even gave him food. In a busy city, where everyone has something else they need to do, who would pay him mind. Sure the occasional quarter would be flicked to him, but it wasn't much. Especially because in a city, 25 cents won't buy anything.

For a few weeks he starved on the street.  Dehydrated as well. He had nothing to keep him alive. Eventually he curled up in an alleyway, clutching his stomach. He laid there, slowly dying with tears streaming down his face. The light left his eyes and he passed away...only 12 at the time. He felt sadness, fear, and the most felt...hatred.

He awoke in a new body, in a new world. He looked around shocked. He didn't know what had happened. He was now a ghost within the Ghost World. He walked around aimlessly looking around. Until, he met him...Antithesis.

Antithesis could sense the hatred in Armageddon and took him to the Anarghost HQ. Over the course of a few months, Antithesis had given Armageddon five other cores to absorb (which Megamarl later destroyed leaving only his actual core).

From that moment we entered the current situation...

BACK IN THE PRESENT...

Armageddon had recalled his memories. His childlike mind was starting to return now that the other cores were destroyed so just his core was remaining. His head clear. Due to this, he started tearing up in fear. The 12 year old within him showing.

Megamarl laughed at the sight.

Megamarl: Wow, crying now? Even better!

Armageddon started to run away before he suddenly stopped. While he was scared, he was reminded of how Megamarl seemed just as evil as his mother was to him. The eye on his face and the eye on his torso both go white as his Flames of Armageddon started flowing out.

He turned back to Megamarl. Hatred had returned to him. Even if he had a childlike mind.

Armageddon: You...you're just...you're just...

Armageddon's flames started to Amp up in intensity.

Armageddon: YOU'RE JUST A BIG MEANIE!!!

The Flames of Armageddon burst out of him violently, engulfing all of New York that remained. Every person, pet, and even the Statue of Liberty. Megamarl used his decay to create a barrier as his smile widened. Armageddon let out a violently roar as the flames increased in power.

Every building had flames burst out from within them, orange added to the red haze of the Flames of Armageddon. Then, fire erupted from the orifices of every living being in the area. Soon after, the buildings melted, the people reduced to ash.

Megamarl looked around laughing, admiring the scene. This brought him joy. He readied his scythe. After everything had been reduced to nothing, Armageddon pulled the flames back into himself. Then, he exploded as wings of fire sprouted from his back, and flames of exhaust came from certain parts of his body. The noise was violent, almost sounding like what pure hatred would if it could.

Megamarl's smile kept getting wider.

Megamarl: YES! YES! COME AT ME! LET'S CLASH IN A VIOLENT FURY!

Megamarl rushed in and sliced. Armageddon blocked it and launched more powerful projectiles than ever before. Beams, explosive blasts, you name it. Megamarl decayed through them all and kept coming back but Armageddon would blast him away.

Armageddon: DIE YOU BIG MEANIE!!!

Armageddon morphed an arm into a blade and rushed into Megamarl and Megamarl retaliated as well. They stood there for a while. Until...

Armageddon coughed up ectoplasm as his eyes went back to normal and the flames dissapeared. All while Megamarl was fine. Armageddon had missed. Megamarl dismantled his scythe back to its separate parts and used the dagger to destroy Armageddon's main core.

Armageddon fell backwards. Holding onto his last moments before dying. Megamarl looked down at him.

Megamarl: My...you're just a kid huh? Well...you put up a good fight. I haven't had fun like that in ages!

Armageddon looked surprised Megamarl was complimenting him.

Armageddon: What..?

Megamarl had a smile. A less insane one, but still not exactly a soothing one.

Megamarl: You lost. But you caused a lot of destruction. I respect that. Rest well kiddo.

Armageddon finally faded away, ironically receiving the first praise in his life from the pure evil of Megamarl. Megamarl watched as Armageddon faded away. Then he looked around. All of New York City was gone. Destroyed. Barely any rubble or debris. Almost as if something simply erased it. Nit a single building or person in NYC remained.

Megamarl found the the neck shackle that keeps him contained, which is still intact since it is strong enough to lock him away, and smiles.

Megamarl: Marley...

He put the shackle on and turned the key to lock it.

Megamarl: Enjoy the aftermath of your decision to let me loose. HAHAHahaha-

His laugh faded and cut away when his eyes went back to being white and Marley regained control. Marley was dazed but then he looked forward and saw the destruction. Even the water completely evaporated, before more water flowed in anyway.

He turned in every direction frantically.

Marley: Shit...

He looked and saw nothing of New York remained.

Marley: Shit! Shit! SHIT!!!

He fell to his knees as he saw it.

Marley: Shit...

IN MIAMI...

Javedyn and Hurricane are currently in a staredown. Waiting for each other to truly ramp up...
