Terror races throughout my body as every single timeline all at once goes dark. I raise my hands using my power to try and reset the screens. The timelines were still going, but now I had no view of them. Anything could happen. Why does this keep happening to me? I swear that in the last millennium I've grown more grey hair than any other time. 

A silence echoed and a stillness that has never been known moved through the Ghost zone. A presence was moving throughout the dimension, something terrifying and it was moving fast. Looking for something I couldn't name. It didn't take me long to find my answer. The moment I turned around ice cold terror pierced my body. Their Blinding white eyes stared down my body as it let out a feral growl. Their malformed body terrifying to even be in the presence of.

I knew exactly who was in front of me and what they were here for, but I had never met them before. Custos Inferorum stood Infront of me. Hells Guardian, He only got involved when the world was truly out of balance or was about to be.

Domine temporis, in munere tuo defecisti. Ob hanc rem mundus aequilibrio caret. Infernus in choros deiectus est, cum pluribus peccatoribus quam umquam antea advenientibus. Consequentias suo tempore experieris. Munere tuo defecisti.

(Time master you have failed in your task. Because of this the world is out of balance. Hell has been thrown into chaos with more sinners coming than ever before. You will face repercussions in due time for you've failed your job.)

The being glares down at me before its gone in a swirl of shadows. The time screens all come back on as if they had never gone off. A sinking feeling fills my gut as my eyes widen. I knew they weren't returning to the gate. Custos Inferorum wouldn't leave his post at the gate for a slight misbalance. No, they were coming to correct the misbalance. Danny was in danger.

I stare at Tomura. Nobody moved an inch from there spot as the world around us seemed to go quiet. My sword hand from my hand. A dangerous unearthly toxic green emitting from the blade. I lunge for Tomura ready to end this. I was willing to let this Midoriya handle this, but now I needed to do this. He killed my love, My other half. I would rip this monster apart. 

My blade slices through skin, muscle and bone as if it was butter. A howl of pain escapes Tomura as he backs away glaring at my smaller form. I don't relent, continuing to stab, slice, mutilate the man who destroyed everything in my life. Ripping my sword from his chest I back away. A satisfied growl rips from my throat in satisfaction that his wounds were indeed not healing. Blood gushed and drippled down his body. Midoriya stood to the side with a blank face. He didn't want to kill Tomura, but he knew that because of the death of our king, my love, his best friend. Tomura would have no redemption. He wouldn't dare defy his king either. 

I stare at the battered beast of a man ready to deliver the final blow. My sword was light with zero regrets as its raised. Shooting forward I was ready to deliver the finale blow. Instead of flesh, I'm met with the sickening crunch of bone and metal.

I back away stunned at the sight before me. A grotesque monster hovered before me Infront of Tomura, protecting him from death. Who was this? What was this being? " Who are you? State your business with me. Why you've stopped me from delivering the final blow?"

Rex umbrarum, ultra munus tuum processisti. Aequilibrium inter zonam umbrarum et regnum humanum conservare debes. Alter sine altero exsistere non potest. Plus quam semel in te ipsum suscepisti iudicium in homines inferre. Hoc et infernum et caelum afficit, propter neglegentiam

("Ghost king, you have gone beyond your post. You are supposed to maintained balance between the ghost zone and the human realm. One cannot exist without the other. You have taken it upon yourself to inflict judgement on the humans, more than once. This affects both hell and heaven, because of your negligence!")

My eyes widen. This being was from Hell. It was here for me because I was fixing what the humans fucked up. I couldn't help letting out a laugh hunching over to hold my stomach, not being able to contain myself. This was truly the funniest thing i had heard in a long while. After a moment I'm able to contain myself, somewhat.

Standing back up I sigh at the man, woman, creature." State your post. Youve interfered with my duty of keeping this world in balance. This man is in the process of merging with another who has caused chaos in the mortal realm for centuries. He has caused destruction and unfounded death to thousands if not millions and many more to come if he lives. He has stolen "The Book" from the ghost zone. It has been used to tamper with innocent souls who would have passed on with no regrets, but because of this, neither soul bound by those spells will see heaven, hell nor the ghost zone." 

I instinctively take a step forward." He has not only caused the premature death of humans, but me as well. I am not perfect, not in the slightest, but unless I knew well would come from my actions. I wouldn't inflict them. My obsession doesn't allow me to harm humans unless I know something good will come from it and even that's pushing it." The thing just stands there staring at me. It was very unsettling." I am the Guardian of the gate in Hell. I've been ordered to seize your crown of fire and your ring. Your being relieved of your position as the Ghost king, ruler of the Ghost zone. 

It was my turn to glare at this Hell being. It was trying to take the crown and ring from me. No, I wouldn't allow it. When kat wakes up I need to give it back to him. He'll be upset if he knew i just gave our engagement ring away.
