Meta Thanaton: Tears Of Darkness

Planning | Chapter 4

Tenebrus and Entropy landed on a planet without life in an universe far away from the one the Knights were in. Tenebrus was rather angry at Entropy for telling his weakness to their enemies.

"I can't belive you told them who your brother is! Now they'll send out a search party for Antonyuz!"

"Antonyuz is not my brother..." contradicted the skeleton.

"He- wait... He's not? But I thought they knew the one that could curse you?"

"Indeed they do but it seems like you and them can't see the obvious..." stated Entropy.

"So they are wasting their time?"

"If they could waste even more than they already did... We don't have to worry about them...yet. I already located our next universe. Let's go..."

Meanwhile in pre-heaven the knights tried to figure out a plan on how to go this Situation on the best way possible.

"I think since only all five of us remotly stand a chance against Entropy and Tenebrus it doesn't matter who of us would go, right?" Thought Rubria but Red didn't seem convinced.

"I don't think so... It's true that we can only stand a chance against the uncursed, yes I came up with that by myself, if we're together, but Antonyuz might have forgotten everything about us and only one with a deep connection with him might help him remember. An example would be someone he loved, a Parent or..." Now Red looked at Isaac. "A Cousin"

"You mean that I should go search for Antonyuz?"

"Who else do you think we mean?"

"But what do we do while Isaac is looking for Antonyuz?" asked Siegfried.

"We'll do our best to slow down the uncursed so that they only claim as few victims as possible while we wait for Isaac and Antonyuz" replied Red.

"Sounds like a plan" said Gwen.

"Then let's not waste anymore time!"

While the Knights were discussing something completly different happened on a joungle filled planet far far away in a very distant universe.

Two elves were playing hide and seek in the forests. A boy about twelve years old and a girl about eight years old.

"Come out, come out wherever you are!" yelled the girl and started looking for her friend.

She looked behind every rock and tree but didn't seem to find him.
After about half an hour she gave up.

"Ok, Tert, you won! Where are you?" But no response.

"Tert! That isn't funny! Where are you!!!"

Now the bushes behind her started to move and make noise.

"Tert?"

When the girl stepped closer to the bush she was suddenly grabbed by a skeletal arm and dragged into the bush.

"Ahhh!!! Let go of me!!! Let go of me, Monster!!!!" She cried.

"Filia, calm down! It's just me! Calm down!" told her a boy with the bones of a Goblin skeleton in his hand.

"T-tert?" she asked.

The boy nodded and then she punched him in the belly.

"That's for scaring me like that! Where did you get that Goblin arm anyway!?"

"The rest of the skeleton is in a cave over there. There was also a map. Maybe it leads to a big treasure!" exclaimed Tert.

"I'm not going in there. It's dark and I can see bats from over here"

Suddenly the earth began to shake and a big armored Ogre broke down the trees behind the Children.

"Then I'll go in the cave!!!" Growled the Ogre.

"Excuse me!? Who are you?!" Yelled Tert.

"I am Rif, the king of Ogres and future owner of the Treasure of Captain Hullwik! Now step aside, Boy"

"Not Happening!"

"What are you doing, Tert!? He's atleast three times as big as you! You only bring us in trouble!" said Filia.

"The girl is right" growled Rif. "If you do not step aside, I will rip off your head and use your bones as part of my armor"

"Still no stepping aside, you green Pumpkin!" yelled Tert.

"Then I guess you made your decision!" roared Rif and lifted his Iron mace to Attack the Children but suddenly something extremly fast dashed through the bushes, grabbed Rif and vanished behind the trees.

Now the sound of a loud explosion echoed through the forest and a ghostly figure slowely flew from the sky and landed infront of the kids.

"Thank you!" Cried Filia. "You're our Hero!!!"

But now the split face of the figure started to smile.

"Thats a very fast assumption you made there, young girl..." Grinned Tenebrus.

"We're not here to safe you..." added Entropy as he extended his skeletal arm towards the girl.

Tert threw himself in the way and the arm of the uncursed impaled him and reached out for his soul. It ripped out a piece and caused the boy to die.

"TERT!!!" Cried the elve girl. "What did you do to him!?"

But the uncursed didn't answer and Entropy proceeded to crush the fragment of the elve soul.

When the fragment gave in to the power of Entropy and Tenebrus it exploded and almost killed Filia.

"Where do we go now?" asked Tenebrus.

"There are still a lot of soul fragments we have to destroy... The closest one that we can collect is on another planet of this universe..." replied Entropy as they left the planet.
