Meta Thanaton: Maledicti

III.

"Am I... really the one in controle?" wondered Negative while looking at himself with his skull shaped eyes.

Like two snakes they were levitating infront of him, staring directly at himself.

"I'm... The one in controle... Aren't I? I mean, if I weren't then... Then who would? I... I should just go and find Antonyuz... Then I should gain enough energy to make Positive not a threat anymore... And then I can destroy Yiplio! Yes, I am in controle! If I wasn't, then I would continue to destroy innocent souls! But I won't! I will destroy the ones I need! YOU HEAR ME POSITIVE!?!" yelled Negative at his eyes before retracting them back into their sockets. "Now... where are you, Antonyuz..."

Negative meditated again and concentrated on finding Antonyuz. He fought his desire to hunt other Souls each time there was a sign of a strong Soul in a Universe.

Negative sat on his throne for millenias, often spending weeks just to fight off the desire to destroy a Soul in a Universe that he didn't need to go to.

After millions of years he finaly found Antonyuz's track. A very powerfull soul was skipping unbelievable distances with such speed it even impressed Negative a little.

However, when Negative concentrated a bit more he "saw" what Antonyuz's method was. He used other souls to "jump" towards the next closest one.
This apparently worked so good that he could gain enough speed to even travel between multiverses with almost the speed of Positive and Negative.

After a while Negative noticed that Antonyuz was always stopping at a certain "type" of universe. The general theme seemed to be the same and judging from the direction that he was traveling in, Negative figured out his next destination.

He ripped open a Portal, waited for exactly three and a half seconds, and then jumped through it.

The first thing that happened was that an arrow hit him in his left shoulder.
Negative was ontop of a very high building on which three people stood.

One with silver eyes, dark hair and a red cape, the other in golden armor and with red hair and a third woman in dark robes who seemed to have been the one shooting the Arrow.

Around the building were hundreds of Monsters with skull like upper jaws some even as large as a house.

"What the- who are you! And where did you come from!?" yelled the woman who shot the arrow.

"Pyrrha, are you allright!?" exclaimed the girl with silver eyes.

"I think I am. That... Thing saved me" said the one named Pyrrha.

"Saved? I'm not here to save you... If I were you, I would be pretty upset that the arrow didn't kill me" growled Negative while slowely crawling towards Pyrrha, but then he stopped. "(No! I can controle myself! Antonyuz should appear any second! I'm here to destroy him! Not them!)"

Suddenly a large black dragon with a skull like head and glowing red eyes appeared.

One of the eyes suddenly turned black while the other turned white and then Antonyuz revealed himself by shooting out of them like a laser and throwing the surprised Negative off the building.

"So you are who Isaac warned me about" said the Black and White Soul after forming its body.

"Isaac you say...? You are still referring to Positive with his old name? How come?" growled Negative as he stood up.

"Because that was the name my cousin had. He might not be the same cousin as he was before, but I don't care about that"

"I'm guessing you know why I am here?"
