Meta Thanaton: Tears Of Darkness

Lost now Found | Chapter 6

After a few months of following the glowing orbs Isaac finally found the place that they were leading him to.

It was a large planet with a lot of water and jungle on it.

Isaac landed in the middle of the large jungle and started looking for Antonyuz.

He looked everywhere on the planet, under every rock, tree, animal, you name it he searched there but couldn't find him.

"Laria, Liria? Are you sure this was the place that you meant? I looked everywhere but Antonyuz isn't on this planet"

"Yes, you're right" started Liria. "He isn't on the planet"

"He's inside the planet" finished Laria.

"Inside? You mean underneath me!?"

"Antonyuz is sleeping in the dephts of the core. You have to dig down in order to get to him"

"I never tried digging with my powers but trying never hurts" thought Isaac as he tried to rip open the earth under him with his power to control space.

The first peace he ripped out hit him in the face and he fell on his back.

"Ok, maybe trying sometimes does hurt... Let's try that again without ruining my face" he said and continued more careful.

It took months for him to finish the hole to the core and when he finally reached it he was quite surprised as he noticed the whole core was hollow.

In the middle of the cavern was a grey humanoid figure meditating.

"Is... that... Antonyuz?! Hey, Antonyuz! Stop lazing around! I have something very important to tell you!"

"Who are you?" asked Antonyuz as if he had never met Isaac.

"It's me, Isaac, don't you remember? We are cousins!"

"I never met someone called Isaac. You must be at the wrong place and now leave, you disturb my slumber" replied Antonyuz.

"I know that this is the right place! I know you and you know me! I know it's been a very long time but you have to belive me!"

"I said: leave NOW!" yelled Antonyuz as he sent a shockwave towards Isaac who blocked it.

"Make me" replied Isaac with a grin.

"As you wish!" shouted Antonyuz and dashed towards Isaac.

The two now started a fearsome battle in the core of the planet causing massive land masses to collide, sink and rise in the ocean. Eruptions and storms were destroying the surface as the two continued their battle.

Shockwaves where mostly used for attacks but Antonyuz sometimes summoned a weapon to attack his Cousin directly.

The battle raged on for weeks until both were too weak to continue.

"You are quite stubborn, you know that?" wheezed Antonyuz.

"Touché" huffed Isaac.

"How is it going between you two?" asked the voices of Laria and Liria.

"Who said that!?" wondered Antonyuz.

"Antonyuz still doesn't belive me" replied Isaac to Laria and Liria.

"Oh really? Why didn't you say so earlier, we could have helped you" responded Laria.

"Who is hiding behind these voices!? Show yourselves you cowards!!!" shouted Antonyuz angry.
But no one answered.
"I KNOW YOU'RE THERE!!!! COME OUT AND SHOW YOURSELVES!!!!!"

Still no answer.

Antonyuz now got really angry and was about to shout again but suddenly an enormous beam of energy ate its way through the entire planet and hit Antonyuz head on causing a massive explosion which whiped out the entire star system in which they were fighting in.

Isaac was surprised that the beam didn't hurt him and Antonyuz apperantly also didn't seem to have taken major damage.

"That should have been enough to make him remember, although I doubt he will be the same as before" explained Liria.

The floating grey body of Antonyuz started to change from grey to black and from black to white at a Constant rate before he opened his eyes again.

"You think you could win against me so easily!?" he shouted as his aura became so powerfull it started to be visible to Isaac.

"H-how!?" exclaimed Laria's voice surprised.

"This is... surprising..." stated Liria's voice.

"Well... Seems like you have to convince him on your own, Isaac" spoke Laria.

"But before you go, take this"

Now a bright white double edged sword with golden grip appeared in Isaac's Hand.

"Don't worry about giving it back. You can keep it. It's a gift"

Now equipped with a new weapon Isaac dashed towards Antonyuz who immediately dodged and attacked back.

The second round of the fight took even longer. About twenty years.

Antonyuz attacked with mile wide energy beams and summoned weapons each time Isaac came too close.

Both also had the power to controle space and both used it many times.

Although mortals wouldn't be able to tell but the violent fighting combined with the constant use of their powers started to cause the stars to get thurther apart from each other.

Eventually Isaac got near Antonyuz once more and just before Antonyuz could summon a weapon Isaac impaled him on the blade.

"W-weird..." stuttered Antonyuz. "I have a deja vu... This happened already didn't it? Or something similar at least..."

"That's because you know me and we had fought before until we became friends. You remember now, do you?" Asked Isaac as he pulled the blade out of Antonyuz's chest.

"Yes... I'm starting to remember now... You're Isaac, my Cousin and I am Antonyuz... And... Wait where's Viridia!?"

"So you still haven't remembered everything... Viridia wasn't able to leave pre-hell before the dark Crystal shattered... Because of Tenebrus"

"Now I remember... atleast he also couldn't leave" stated Antonyuz.

"You're right but... He somehow managed to keep his memories and is now haunting the multiverse together with a skeleton named Entropy. They destroy soul fragments!"

"Why aren't the gods cursing them?"

"It's a little bit my fault... I cursed Tenebrus but he somehow managed to come back. Because of me he isn't able to get cursed and Entropy says only his brother can curse him which he claims you to be" explained Isaac.

"Well... I don't really remember anything about my family so he could very well be my Brother... Well then. Let's get this Entropy guy and curse him!"
