At Tartarus, around midnight. The rain poured down, and thunder crackled. The camera's malfunctioned. Outside, a man stepped foot on the bridge, rain poured on his skin, and turned into steam. He looked at Tartarus, his eyes hollow and black. Not a glimmer of light. He pressed his hand against the door, and then a great flame bursts out from his skin, melting the door in the process. The guards swarmed the hallway and opened fire. Each shot landed, but the only blood spilt, was there own. He gone further down Tartarus, killing each prisoner he comes by, and each guard with them. Each layer was scorched, as the earth will soon be. Soon, the whole building was so damaged, every prisoner was released.

All for One: "I don't know who you are. But I see your potential. Why don't you join me, and together we will rule the world."

???: "Rule alongside you? Please. You're the one who lays beneath me."

All for One: "Fine. Then you're of no use to me. Kill him."

Lady Nagant shot him threw the head, completely destroying it. But not a drop of blood was shown. The body callapsed on the ground. The skin of the back began to rip. An arachnid claw bursts out, finally causing blood to drop. The claw pinned the body down, allowing it to shed it's skin more efficiently. It stood on four arachnid claws, it's tail is tipped with something like a blade, it's skin is red, and his face is human.

???: "Please, shoot more."

Lady Nagant fired off a flury of shots upon the red beast. Each gone through, but like before, not a single drop. A second jaw plunged into the side of Nagant, completely tearing off a chunk of flesh. The jaw retracted back into the gullet of the Red Devil, before returning for more. It grabbed her skull and dragged her into his maw, swallowing her whole. The other villains charged forward thinking they can take him. He opened his jaw wide, and fired a ball of flame with a skull as a face. The flame devoured the villains, scorching them. He looked over at the final one, All for One.

???: "You really think, that you mortals, can even compare to me. You may think of yourselves as evil. But you aren't evil. You're just.... idiotic, and that's all you shall be. You're a puppet to your own mind. Shall I take it from you. I think I will." All for One plunged his fist into the hollow eyes of the beast, but still, not a drop. "Mhh. Cute."

The beast yanked its head back completely ripping his arm off. He grabbed the arm, and pulled it out of his eye, before eating it. The beast impaled his shoulder with the tail. The beast twisted his tail, completely dislocating the shoulder from the body. The beast slit the throat of All for One with his tail. He stopped attacking, and watched him die by choking on his own blood. Not a single soul survived on that day. The beast looked up at the moon, and smiled before leaving. What he saw on the moon, was the start of the prophecy.


The moon bled its first drop.
