The Immortals

Return to Beta

"So not to be the buzz kill Lightning, but you don't belong here. Go back to Beta. I don't need news of your travels here to start bringing unwanted guests to this world. We already have enough of you guys coming in and out of here as it is." Daniel said sitting on the ground.

"The League of Assassin's don't exist anymore so anyone who do cross over would probably exist in Bad Strikers. Since they're being led by Keyshia I doubt you'd have to worry about them wrecking this Earth." I replied to Daniel. "At least until I take it back."

"He's still right about the drastic situation Lightning, Had you not been as well known as you are I would have been more inclined to welcome you with open arms but the truth of the matter is that you have enemies, and your enemies are people like Nazo and Maru, people who are capable of destroying cities in a fight with someone who can clash with them evenly. Imagine a place with no resistance strong enough to take them on. We definitely can't count on you, you only involve yourself in a situation when it involves you."

I sighed.

"Whatever then, I'll leave right now." I said.

"If we go back you'll have to face Keyshia." Hanabi said concerned.

"I know more than one way to stay away from her." I said. "And I'm not leaving because you told me to Daniel or because I care about this stupid earth. I'm just leaving before the government ends up making me go through a tedious cat and mouse game because we killed a whole army a few minutes ago." I looked at Daniel. "Beta Earth still has a spot for you if you're interested." I said

"You know I can't leave her behind." Daniel said.

"So bring her." I replied. He made a face and looked away.

"Before we move on with our lives let me go back inside you Lightning." Xirah said disappearing. I felt her power return to me.

I missed this. I heard Xirah say inside me in her girl voice this time not male.

"I am so going to have a hard time getting used to that." I sighed.

I opened a dark portal in front of me.

"Wait, Lightning, I have a daughter. She's a cute little thing, she's only two years old, so you should understand why I want to keep her safe." Meno said. "She's at a Daycare-Daycamp hybrid right now called 'The Cross Healing' so next time you come I'll introduce you two." She said almost too excitedly. I'm just not ready for that kind of happiness yet.

"Good bye Meno."  I said

"...Sayonara Lightning X." Meno said looking a bit sadden. I looked to Daniel who was still on the ground not looking. I entered the portal and entered Main City.

[Keyshia]

Something woke me from my sleep.

Lightning.

   Oh my gosh Lightning. I sensed around. He's in Main City. President Elder made it clear that The Bad Strikers are not allowed in the city. It's been a while since anything has happened. Kalona has yet to strike back, Maru is no where to be found and Nazo has seemingly turned over a new leaf. Lightning has even disappeared for a bit. I guess you can say we're all in a stalemate, However Lightning is definitely the game changer. Everyone is terrified which led to no one making a move, and if someome even makes one small move it'll create a domino effect. So what in the world brought him back to this world, it's been six months. I'm happy though. I just need to see Lightning one more time.

"Key?" A little girl I've been taking care of for a few months walks in my room. Her name is Runi, she's has blue hair and dark blue eyes. She's about eleven years old.

"What's up little Rune?" I asked her.

"He's here, the one who killed my mom." She said.

" What do you mean he's here." I asked getting ready to fight.

"No not here here. He's nearby here." She replied.

"Where?" I asked her.

"I don't know but he's close." She said. "Real close" she ran out my door.

"Runi wait!"

[Lightning]

"Prince Lightning of the X Clan, it's been a while." Elder said. The president of Main City.

"Weird." I know this isn't where I intended to appear. My portal was hijacked. "How are you." I said smiling with my eyes closed secretly scanning the area.

"Lightning?" Hanabi looked at me.

"I know." I said looking at Elder who heart began speeding up.

"Do it!" She yelled in a walkie talkie.

"Are you dumb?" I asked her. The window shattered and a copy of me entered the room then dispersed in the air as shadowy fog.

"A shadow clone?" Elder said concerned. "So you knew?"

"Sure for about a few seconds." I said shaking my head. " I told you before didn't I?" I said as I teleported in front of her piercing my hand through her chest grabbing her heart.

"He told you didn't he. 'Do well to remember who helped you get the city back', he knew you'd try to betray him eventually you fucking idiot." Hanabi said.

"Lightning. Please I'm sor-" I ripped her heart out before she finished.

   I let her lifeless body drop to the ground and walked to the roof of the building. I looked at the horizon. It's a clear day. The blood dripped from my hand, then I had a great idea.

"I'll be making Main City mine." I said

"That's a start." Hanabi giggled behind me "Can you make something else yours" Hanabi said. I turned around and we were face to face. Her face was red.

"What?" I asked.

"Me." She said then took opened her eyes as if she realized what she just said then took a step back and looked away. "I'm sorry it's just I'm tired if wa-"

   I pulled her in and kissed her. When I released the kissed her face was super red that her blue eyes appeared as it was glowing. I heard a clapping noise as a black sinister portal that looked like it connected to hell opened up. Out walked my father Kalona.

"Kalona." I said

"Call me father, my son, don't call me by name." Kalona replied.

"That title is earned not given." I said "Why are you here."

"To ask you to Join me in taking over the world." He said.

"I have no interest in taking over this world." I replied.

"I already have Maru on my side we would like you. So just think about it my son." Kalona said handing me a card with his number. He then flew into the atmosphere.

   Hanabi hugged me.

"What's our next move." Hanabi said.

   I pushed Hanabi off me, I sensed some power appear. An invisible force grabbed me by the neck as I began to cough up blood.

"What the fuck now!." I yelled.

"Lightning!" Hanabi yelled as my body flung into the nearest building and the entire fucking structure started to cave in right on top of me. Oh Shit.
