The Return Of A Giant

Fairy Queen screamed out as the giant hand smashed its way toward her. She tried to twist and expand reality to create distance or cut it off, but the power didn't care. It tore right through it. The strength of a monster found only in legends. Giants were said to rival the power of the gods themselves in the story mankind spoke of before the Shadow appeared. This was the same power that was compressed into the fist forged from Battery's energy.

Fairy Queen never stood a chance.

The enormous fist slammed down, shattering the barriers she tried to form. The energy burned with the force of the molten core of the planet, burning her on the spot and destroying her. In an instant, she was flattened and reduced to less than atoms, all from one punch. The fist gradually faded and broke apart as the energy dispersed, and Battery let out a small sigh as the blue energy around him sizzled.

"Earlier, you told me trying to heal you wouldn't work twice. I suppose it's the same for your tricks as well. Did you really think another illusion would trick me?" Battery lazily slapped at the air, and the blue energy zapped off of him like shards of lightning. Everything twisted and broke, and he found himself back in the real world, staring down Fairy Queen, who was dozens of feet away from him.

The woman scowled, and black blood gushed down her lip as her teeth tore into it. "How did you know?" She demanded.

"Like you'd die that easily." Battery snorted. "You and me. We're both cockroaches. The only difference, though, is that I specialize in making sure roaches don't come back." He had changed ever since the blue light appeared. He still looked the same as before, for the most part. Instead of golden light, it was blue, and his iris had changed to match the color. The change was more in the way he spoke and acted. Like a predator that knew it had already won. "Sit still. I'll make sure you don't feel anything. It's the least I can do. We used to be on the same side after all."

"I'll admit you're stronger than me now." Fairy Queen grunted out. She cocked her head to the side and gave a sly grin. "I don't need to beat you, though. Just by looking at you, I can tell you're not doing well. Your body is practically falling apart."

It shimmered in the ocean of blue. Igniting his eyes and going through his veins, his body was slowly filling with cracks—ones that all hummed with a faint golden glow. It all started where his heart should have been and worked its way down. Small bits of him were already breaking off. Like a sandcastle that had been caught in a strong gust of wind, he would crumble before too long if he didn't shut the form off.

Fairy Queen's wings expanded out, and she let out a loud scream as everything began to break around. "Is this an illusion, or am I breaking reality? Try to figure it out-"

"Don't care." The cracks all across his body closed, and the ground beneath Fairy Queen broke apart as an energy hand large enough to hold her jutted out and wrapped its fingers around the woman before she could move. Her power shut off, and the breaks in the air sealed shut. She screamed out as the fingers of the hand began to tighten around her, ready to crush her. "I'm sure that this is the real you." Battery held his palm out, facing it toward her, and began to squeeze it shut. The hand of the Giant obeyed him and started to bore all its might into Fairy Queen. "It's okay. Just close your eyes. Your body will pop, and that'll be the end of it." Battery made a 'pop' sound with his mouth and smirked.

"Oh, screw you!" Fairy Queen screamed out. She tried to break out of the hand's grasp and expand her wings, but it was simply too strong. She formed barriers of reality, but the blue energy easily overpowered them all and shattered them before they could even truly form. "Let me go! You damn traitor! That's all you are! A mad animal who slaughtered his own family! You're no hero! Just putting on a mask does nothing! They'll all kill you when they find out who you really are! The crimes you've committed will ensure a special spot in hell for you!"
